Chapter 35: The dry well, the timid little girl
In front, there was a small group of people, all of them were dressed in navy blue and printed with blood cloud patterns, several of them were not very old, but they were tiptoeing around a dry well, their eyes scattered, and they whispered something.
The exclamation in the forest just now was made by a handsome little girl among several people.
Xia Yuan bowed his body and carefully hid in the dark, not far from the small group of people, and their movements could be seen clearly, but the voice was too quiet, and Xia Yuan couldn't really hear it.
"Senior brother, we are here with the three elders of the sect, if we leave for too long, I am afraid that we will provoke the dissatisfaction of the young sect master and the three elders. ”
In a small group of people, a tiger-headed teenager tilted his head and looked at the young man who was protecting the delicate little girl behind him. His voice was a little loud, Xia Yuan was a little far away, but he could hear it clearly.
"You first bring this withered leaf flower back to invite merit, and you can also exchange it for some merit points of the sect, my sister and I will look for it again, maybe this brother, there are still omissions that we have not discovered. ”
The young man who was protecting the little girl behind him said in a deep voice, he was the senior brother of this small group and their leader, and his words were still a little majestic.
The remaining three nodded, and at the same time bent down to dig up a dead leaf flower by the dry well. "Senior brother, junior sister, then let's go back to the sect first. ”
After about half a cup of tea, there were only two people left in a small group, and the little girl sat on the edge of the dry well, stretched out her hand and pulled the sleeve of the young man's coat, and said timidly. "Brother, we were brought into the sect by our master since we were children, and we also grew up in the sect, I am already familiar with everything in the sect, do we really want to leave the sect?"
"Alas, the master treats my brother and sister like a mountain, and it is not an exaggeration to call our father honorific. It's just that the sect master has already made me the heir of the sect, and I only want to focus on cultivation, and I don't have the heart to fight for power, but the young sect master doesn't think so, he makes things difficult for me everywhere, and the master and I are afraid that it will affect you, so I decided to leave the sect quietly in the ancient ruins. ”
The young man's mouth sighed leisurely, he reached out and touched his sister's forehead, and his eyes were also extremely complicated.
The sect is home, and it is also the place for their brother and sister, and when they leave, they will only have the four seas as their home.
Where is home? If there are people who miss them, that is where home is.
"Brother, the master is an old man, I heard people in the sect say that if the master does not break through the current realm, within a few years, the master will die, we have left the sect, I am most reluctant to be the master. ”
The little girl's eyes were red, her hands pulled the boy's sleeves tightly, and she looked up at the boy's face, looking pitiful.
"Hugh wants to listen to those people chewing the root of their tongues, the master will definitely break through the current realm within ten years, this is what we solemnly told me before leaving, let our brother and sister travel away with peace of mind, don't worry about him. ”
Having said that, the young man's heart was very uncomfortable, and when he left, they also broke away from the sect, and I don't know when they will be able to see each other.
It's just that when I think about it carefully, the sect has already designated the young man as the successor of the sect, so how can he be allowed to leave at will.
A sword was in the boy's hand, and the boy turned and looked at a bush not far away. "Your Excellency overheard my brother and sister talking, I'm afraid I don't miss a word. If you pass by here, please raise your noble hand, I will repay the grace of today. ”
"It was discovered, and it was a good student with a keen sense of perception. ”
It's just that in an instant, the breathing at the mouth and nose was messed up, but it was discovered. Xia Yuan was no longer hiding, he stood up, shook his head with a wry smile. "I'm just lost in this forest, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you, looking at your clothes, your brother and sister should be from the Yun Sect. ”
Xia Yuan shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the dry well with a wry smile, getting closer and closer to the brother and sister.
"Your Excellency, please pause, or don't blame me for being a bully. ”
The tip of the sword in Yun Bufan's hand pointed directly at Xia Yuan, and the words in his mouth were a little colder.
"Lianyun Sect is a vassal sect of the Celestial Empire, if your brother and sister don't want to leave Lianyun Sect, I can help a little. ”
The tip of the sword was flickering with a cold glow, Yun Bufan was in the late stage of Qi cultivation, and Xia Yuan didn't want to annoy Yun Bufan, so he had no choice but to stop, and after Xia Yuan took out a token, he threw it to Yun Bufan, who was full of hostility.
"This is the token of the Celestial Empire!"
The token is heavy, this is a gold medal, and it is also a symbol of status and power in the Celestial Empire.
Yun Bufan withdrew the sword in his hand and arched his hand. "I don't know which adult's mansion the prince came to the Imperial City of the Heavenly Dynasty?"
"All you have to do is know I can help you, that's it. If the two of you don't dislike it, can you go with me, or can you return to the sect directly with the gold medal?"
The little girl behind Yun Bufan showed her little head, and after she glanced at Xia Yuan timidly, her cheeks flushed, and she retracted her little head again. Seeing this, Xia Yuan grinned.
Ancient ruins, Xia Yuan came suddenly, completely unfamiliar with any situation inside, if someone accompanied him, it would be the best.
"Since the son has ordered, my brother and sister are convenient for the son to go together, but the sister is afraid of people and is not good at talking, please don't forgive me for this. ”
Yun Bufan is also free and easy, and his style of action is not muddy, he is a simple person.
"It's okay, just treat me as your friend, don't be informal. You are a few years older than me, so I'll call you Brother Yun. ”
The little girl's cowardly appearance still appeared in front of her eyes. Xia Yuan didn't step forward anymore, so he simply sat cross-legged on the ground, ignoring the clothes behind him, which were stained with dust.
"Childe, how can this make Childe a powerful person from the Imperial City, how can I and others be able to climb high and be commensurate with brothers!"
Yun Bufan was shocked, there was a difference between respect and inferiority, he didn't dare to accept Xia Yuan's words. Yun Bufan hurriedly waved his hand, wanting to step forward to help Xia Yuan up, but Xia Yuan shook his head to stop him. "In my place, only the elder and the youngest, no matter how humble or inferior, I call you Brother Yun, and I have no other intentions, you have no intention of being the sect master, how can I let you enter the temple, Brother Yun, please be relieved." ”
This can't all be blamed on Yun Bufan, the sudden show of goodwill, anyone has to weigh a few points in their hearts, and at the same time be vigilant.
"Since Childe said so, if I shirk it again, it will be a bit too much to say. ”
Yun Bufan's heart relaxed, and he sat on the ground with a smile, his dark blue clothes stained with dust. Without Yun Bufan's body as a block, the little girl secretly glanced at Xia Yuan again, and then kept her head down, pinching the corners of her clothes in front of her with both hands, silent, and her cheeks turned redder.
"Brother Yun, to be honest, I was suddenly thrown into the ancient ruins by an elder, so I am very unfamiliar with the ancient ruins. Brother Yun, can you tell me how many people and sects have come to the ancient ruins?"
Xia Yuan smiled dumbly, this little girl was quite shy, Xia Yuan immediately asked with a straight face.
"Several major bronze-level sects joined forces to injure the Spirit Beast King at the top of the Jade Emperor, which made the ban on the ancient ruins wide. And the sects that entered the ruins, there are more than 20 black iron level sects as far as I know, in addition to the Celestial Empire, several other red bronze level sects have also come, but the people of the major sects are all led by the elders, and they are very strong, and some are some casual cultivators, come here to try their luck. ”
Yun Bufan told Xia Yuan everything he knew.
The Spirit Beast King was injured, so the big white in Chen Younian's mouth should also be injured. There were too many people entering the ancient ruins, and Xia Yuan, who had recovered his original appearance, was worried about being recognized.
Where is Chen Wunian, Xia Yuan can only try to avoid crowded places, experience, find opportunities, and find people.
"Brother Yun, you don't want a son, the son calls me, it sounds weird, you just call me Qinglanyuan. ”
Xia Yuan got up and patted the dust on his shirt behind him.
"Qing Lanyuan?"
The Imperial City of the Celestial Empire, it seems that there is no surname Qing, and it should be a pseudonym, but Yun Bufan doesn't mind at all, walking outside, he has also used a pseudonym, just to hide people's eyes.
The little girl raised her eyes and glanced at Xia Yuan in some surprise, a strange name.
"Then I might as well be respectful, and dare to call you Brother Yuan. ”
Just talking about the young and the old, this younger brother's call, Yun Bufan didn't feel that he had taken any advantage.
"Since that's the case, then Brother Yun will quickly dig out the seeds of the withered leaf flower, and we will leave, if we stay any longer, I am afraid that the people of Lianyun Sect will come over." ”
Xia Yuan took a few steps forward and got closer to Yun Bufan's brother and sister.
"Seeds?"
The little girl sat on the edge of the dry well, very close to the place where the dead leaves and flowers grew, and when she heard this, she put her hand into the dirt pit without thinking, and then the little girl's face was full of smiles. "Sure enough, there were seeds in it, soft and cool. ”
The little girl was a little excited, and she held the soil seed in her hand, and she pinched it.
"The medicinal power of the seeds of the dead leaf flower is the same as that of the dead leaf flower, but the use is more extensive. Let's hurry up, leave this forest, and walk in the opposite direction of Lianyun Sect. ”
At this time, Xia Yuan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, when he left, he should have asked Chen Younian clearly, where Chen Wunian was going to the ancient ruins, and he would not be as clueless as he is now, looking for a needle in a haystack.
The forest is very large, and the pace of Xia Yuan and the three of them is very fast, and the exit of the forest is also in sight.
