Volume 1 Dead Leaves Return to Dust Chapter 5 Xuanqing
The silence in the rift was shattered by screams, and two members of the Yang family's escort were shot through a string of arrows by a sudden attack, and they fell straight down.
This is a robbery. Yang Lingling's third grandfather's face changed, and he was about to step forward, that is, when everyone was undecided, a few arrows broke through the air, taking away several lives, and the smell of blood went straight to people's hearts.
As soon as the arrows fell, several figures came out of the pile of rocks, and the dust was flying in the distance, and a large group of thieves came from the front and back, and this formation was to bury all the people of the Yang family in this big rift valley.
The faces of the Yang family and his party turned pale, facing the menacing enemy whose number was several times that of their own, many of them had weak legs, and the hands holding the weapons couldn't stop shaking, how could they have the appearance of a warrior?
"There is still a way to survive if you kill it together!" Yang Lingling's third grandfather immediately made a decision, shouted, and took the lead to meet the few people who were killed from the pile of rocks, and most of the people in the Yang family gritted their teeth and followed behind Old Man Yang.
But there are always some people who are rebellious and lucky, leaving the Yang family behind and trying to surrender in exchange for a life. The men threw down their weapons and ran back, and the one who was running in front was about to speak, when a large knife slashed him in half, and blood splattered on the faces of the people next to him, making them stunned.
The robbers didn't even think about staying alive. The rest of the Yang family saw this scene in their eyes, their eyes were red, not sad for those traitors, but a kind of madness that was driven to a desperate situation.
The hand-to-hand battle, the situation was one-sided, and the black-clothed people who rushed out first only separated two of them and entangled the elders of the Yang family to death, and Yang Lao's attack and defense were already a little stretched, and he had no time to care about anything else. The remaining four black-clothed men rushed into the crowd of the Yang family, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, wailing constantly, and there was rarely an enemy among the Yang family.
"Ding. The sword of a man in black was intercepted by Yang Lingling, the man saw Yang Lingling's face, and a trace of lewdness rose in his eyes, he was already a good woman, and seeing a beauty like Yang Lingling made him even more evil, and greeted his brother, who was also another man in black, and the two laughed lewdly and attacked Yang Lingling together.
Yang Lingling frowned, ignoring the words of the two men in black, the sword in his hand was like a floating cloud in the sky, it seemed to be slow and fast, and it could always intercept the two men in black just right every time, and then the sword light was like a smart swimming fish, and in the blink of an eye, it passed through the gap and stabbed into the shoulder of a man in black.
Ye Ku saw everything in his eyes, Yang Lingling's sword turned fast and slow, from slow to fast and then fast to slow, the sword light was quite subtle to find a gap, but in the end, the number of ordinary martial arts was not in his eyes.
Old man Yang is not optimistic, his palm is slapped and the other party is hard, neither side can get benefits, he has no time to withdraw, if these two people are released into the crowd, it will definitely be a disaster. But he knew that there were a large number of robbers rushing in front of him and behind him, and he was sad, "The sky is going to kill my Yang family!" He was heartbroken, and secretly tried everything to send Yang Lingling out.
The robbers who were attacking from the front and back also rushed in, and the already embarrassing situation suddenly turned one-sided.
At this moment, a dazzling star map rose at the end of the rift, the faint blue starlight cut through the bright red and yellow, and a mysterious and unpredictable aura circulated over the twenty-three large stars in the map.
A young girl stepped on the seven stars, behind her was the starry sky picture, surrounded by stars, shining bright, magnificent and strange, in this remnant sun sea of blood, shadow mirror wall shines a starlight, lining her like a goddess.
There are bright stars shining in those crystalline eyes, which makes people not feel blasphemous.
With a move of her hand, nine stars surrounded by dark blue starlight appeared in the middle of the rift valley in the star map, and wisps of faint blue light were projected, which accurately fell on the robbers who were in the melee, melting out terrifying holes.
Ye Ku glanced at the girl, who looked a little petite than Yang Lingling. Ye Ku didn't dare to be surprised by her appearance, he felt a familiar aura nearby, but he didn't know what it was, when this girl appeared, he was sure that the source of this breath was her, but what made him puzzled was that even if he saw it, he didn't know where that familiar feeling came from.
"Girl, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, where did you come from, go back!" The two black-clothed men who were fighting with Old Man Yang were the leaders of this group of robbers, and it took them several years to finally get to where they are now, where could they withstand that girl to kill like this!
As he spoke, the man pulled out, took a deep breath, his robe bulged, and raised his knife to slash heavily at the girl who suddenly came, and with a swing of the knife, the air between the two was suffocated for a moment, and the knife was so powerful that it seemed that even a mountain would be cut in two by this knife.
"Royal!" The girl's eyes were frosty, and she ignored the threatening words.
She snorted, nine of the twenty-three big stars were in the color of Xuanhuang, and at this time, Qi Qi was full of light, turning into a pale yellow illusory shield, and there were vague mystical symbols on the shield, but it was too vague.
The terrifying sword and the shield condensed by the Xuanhuang starlight were so hard that they couldn't advance an inch, and the aftermath of the confrontation between the two shook the people around them to the ground. In the end, the Xuanhuang Shield was superior, and the sword dissipated.
The girl stood under the star chart, pointing like a bright star, standing still.
On the other hand, the man in black spat out a mouthful of blood, and there was a force of shock on the Xuanhuang Star Shield, which caused him to suffer a lot of injuries. The person who came was not good and not simple, although he was shocked and angry in his heart, but he still did not lose his mind, none of them was the opponent of the girl, and if he died, I am afraid that there would really be no one left, that is, he himself was not sure that he would retreat with his whole body,
"Withdraw!"
Although I am unwilling, my life is still important. The remaining robbers didn't want to fight anymore, so they immediately fled for their lives, and the situation suddenly reversed. The people of the Yang family were red-eyed, so that the robbers left a lot of lives.
Yang Lingling's third grandfather was thinking about burning his true qi and protecting his granddaughter's thoughtfulness, where did he think that suddenly there would be a big reversal?
The girl didn't chase after her, and when she saw the other party fleeing away, the star map was put away, and the bright starlight converged together.
After a bloody battle, everyone in the Yang family died and was injured, and their expressions were a little sad. After calming everyone's emotions, the old man of the Yang family and Yang Lingling stepped forward to express their gratitude to the girl, which was from the bottom of their hearts, if it weren't for her, their result today would definitely be one of the corpses all over the ground.
The girl waved her hand, taking it in stride. They can be regarded as fighting side by side, of course, it is more of the girl's helper, with this affection, after learning that the girl's destination is also Beicheng, the Yang family tried their best to invite her to come along.
She nodded in agreement, and the group set off again after cleaning up and burying the body on the spot. In fact, for them, life and death are very ordinary things, which person does not earn a bite to eat on the tip of a knife? Although they feel sad for the death of their friends and even relatives, they still have to go on, and this is a warrior and a human being.
The girl with extraordinary means is named Shangguan Xuanqing, who claims to be from the Central Domain. Because of the limited carriage, Shangguan Xuanqing and Yang Lingling sat in the same carriage, and Ye Ku was the one who drove the carriage.
Ye Wei drove the carriage. Shangguan Xuanqing's previous star map was unattainable when it was shining in the sky, and Ye Ran's appearance as a goddess touched his memory somewhere, and he felt very familiar, but he just couldn't remember it.
Along the way, Yang Lingling and Shangguan Xuanqing shared a carriage, they didn't talk much, Shangguan Xuanqing's voice was cold, and he spit out words like stars. Ye Ku listened to it in his ears, it wasn't that he intended to eavesdrop, but it was separated by a curtain, and he couldn't listen if he didn't want to. Although the two of them were fancy, Shangguan Xuanqing's words carried a faint alienation, which was not a posture of pretending to overlook, but a sense of distance that was naturally noble and natural.
They were not talking about any boudoir matter, nor about the sons of any family, but about some anecdotes and rumors from the whole country's monastic community.
"Were you okay just now?" Yang Lingling suddenly changed the topic, making Ye Ku, who was listening to the excitement, stunned.
"I hurt to death, and I still hurt now, but the thought of driving for you makes me feel better. Ye Kuhe laughed, not mentioning the fact that he didn't work hard just now.
The most important thing for Ye Ku is to see what the current martial arts or cultivation has developed. But at this moment, he also said Shangguan Xuanqing, "Fang Cai is cowering, cowardly in battle, I see that your ability is all on this mouth." A starlight flashed, Shangguan Xuanqing did not hesitate, and the leaves withered and sturdily received this palm, stirring up a lot of dust.
didn't embarrass him, Shangguan Xuanqing didn't know when he arrived here, picked up Ye Ku and went back to the carriage, and didn't even give Ye Ku time to say that it hurt.
"Xuanqing. "Yang Lingling is afraid of Ye Ku's identity, and the people of the Northern Wangfu should not be offended.
Shangguan Xuanqing actually didn't expect Ye Ku to be so vulnerable, although she could kill, she wouldn't kill casually with peace of mind, she looked at Ye Ku, but found that Ye Ku was also looking at her. The carriage was not spacious, and the two looked at each other, which made Shangguan Xuanqing a little embarrassed, where could a man look at her so rudely?
Xuanqing's temperament was about to slap Ye Ku again, but he heard Ye Ku say slowly: "Who are you Shangguan Yeyu?" , Ye Ku's tone was very flat when he said this, but there was a little contrast with him who was frivolous.
"I'm not the only one with the surname Shangguan. Shangguan Xuanqing didn't know why, but he didn't know why. "Still watching?!" When she found that Ye Wei was still staring at her, the softness disappeared.
Before she could make a move, Ye Ku hurriedly made a loss, and obediently went out to catch the carriage again like a nobody. Yang Lingling heard it in a fog, but he didn't ask too much.
Walking along the main road, the Yang family was just one of the many caravans, there was nothing special, and it was safe and sound for a few days, until it reached Beicheng.
Beicheng is located in the northern region, and the grandeur of the momentum, the variety of buildings, and the boiling of people are naturally not comparable to Beimucheng. When he arrived in Beicheng, Ye Ku went directly to Ye Wang's mansion.
Yewangfu is located in the north of the north city, covering an area of thousands of acres, magnificent, but there is no imaginary sense of splendor, just more atmosphere and simplicity, of course, this simplicity is also relative. The family at the door was dressed plainly and capably, full of spirit, and was a martial artist and monk who had achieved cultivation.
When Ye Ku walked to the front of the vermilion gate, those people noticed Ye Ku, although Ye Ku was not dressed well, but they were not domineering, but politely asked Ye Ku to leave.
"Can't I even go home?" Ye Ku raised his head and said with a smile, the gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, who is this not the young master who has been missing for more than ten days?
"It's the young master, the young master is back!" These family members were all very happy, with a smile on their faces, which made Ye Ku a little surprised, and stopped the person who was about to report, "I'll go by myself." ”
Entering the gate, Ye Ku followed his memory and walked towards a large lake in the house. Along the way, Ye Ku walked very slowly, because of the fusion of memories, he couldn't tell what he felt about this family, let alone how to face the people in this family.
There are many pavilions and pavilions in the palace, but on the shore of the green lake, there is only a small pavilion with red tiles, the dilapidated tiles have accumulated a layer of ash, and there is only a stone table and a three-party stone bench in the pavilion, leaving traces of time.
The name of this pavilion is to fish for the moon, and it is said that in ancient times, there were immortals standing in the pavilion, and a round of water moon was fished out in this lake and then put into the lake. Up to now, if the opportunity has come, you can still see the wonder of the world in March: a month in the sky, double hooks in the water.
If you look down from the sky, the palace was built around this lake and this pavilion.
At this time, in the Laoyue Pavilion, a man about forty years old was drinking tea in the pavilion, the man was tall, luxuriously dressed but not mediocre, that is, sitting there leisurely There was an inexplicable majesty emanating from it, and he had been in a high position for a long time, not angry and mighty.
This is naturally Ye Ku's father, Ye Chengtian, the king of the north. Ye Ku is the only son of him and the princess, the princess died early, and Ye Chengtian regards Ye Ku as extremely important.
"Father. "With a soft call, the leaves have withered.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Sit down, sit down. "In fact, since Ye Ku arrived in Beimu City, Ye Chengtian knew that Ye Ku was safe and sound, but now that he saw Ye Ku standing in front of him, his heart was always steady.
Ye Chengtian watched Ye Ku come over and watched Ye Ku sit down on the stone bench. In fact, for Ye Ku, Ye Chengtian naturally knew that his son's pulse was different from ordinary people, and it was difficult to become a martial artist and cultivate true qi, so peace and security was the greatest blessing, and he didn't expect too much.
"Are you alright?" Ye Chengtian poured a cup of tea for Ye Ku, and his tone was a little apologetic.
"It's okay, it's just tired. Ye Ku replied, did not drink tea.
Hearing this, Ye Chengtian didn't know what to say, Ye Ku couldn't cultivate his true qi because of the image of the robbery, he was okay when he was young, and the more he grew up, the more taciturn he became, this feeling of watching his peers surpass him one after another, how could he say it in a few words?
In the big blue lake, there are large red carp dotted among them, which were put in after the establishment of the mansion, spitting bubbles and breaking into flowers when they touch the surface of the water.
After that, Ye Chengtian asked a few more words about Ye Ku's situation during these days, and Ye Ku ignored the opposition of his family, so he had to come out by chance. Ye Ku said and talked about the Yang family, "Over there in Beimu City, the Gu family wants to marry the eldest lady of the Yang family. ”
"Oh?" Ye Chengtian was very happy, firstly, because he saw Ye Ku go home safely, and secondly, because he chatted with Ye Ku, since Ye Ku grew up, he didn't like to talk much, let alone the father and son sat and chatted like this.
"I don't think this family business can be done, Dad, look at your ......" Ye Ku was interrupted by Ye Chengtian before he was halfway through his words,
"What's so difficult about this, I heard that girl came to Beicheng with you, if you want to see her, I'll let her come over tomorrow. Ye Chengtian has also heard of the eldest lady of the Yang family, that is, Yang Lingling, which is naturally not because of her appearance, but because of her talent in martial arts. Hearing Ye Ku say this, he was even happier, he thought that Ye Ku was in love with Yang Lingling, his son had a girl he liked, how could he be unhappy when he was a father, not to mention that with his Ye family's door business, which girl couldn't marry?
"As for your marriage to the princess, your father will tell you, and you don't need to worry. Ye Chengtian said with a smile.
"What marriage?" Now it's Ye Wither's turn.
"Naturally, it was your marriage to the little princess of the royal family, and it was set by your grandfather and the royal ancestor. As soon as he said this, Ye Chengtian's tone was a little cold, Ye Ku couldn't practice martial arts, Shangyu's side naturally disapproved of this marriage, who could agree to the princess marrying a waste?
The father and son had dinner in this Laoyue Pavilion, and Ye Ku said that he was tired and retired.
He didn't go back to his room to rest, but went straight to the library at home.
