Twenty-six
The old man still spoke so slowly,
"After I left the old man's house, I began to travel all over the world, as I used to be, to be an idle crane and wander in the world. Until seven or eight years ago, I felt that my background was not as good as before, so I found a place to live with peace of mind, and this time I lived, and it was several years! Later, I was found by a stinky Taoist priest and invited to Wuyi Mountain, but I was really not used to living there, so I left without permission. Oh yes, when I left, I took Nameless with me!"
There was a lot of fighting outside, and the sound was so loud, but Xiao Yi was also shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked,
"Sir, did you just say Wuyi Mountain, Wuyi Mountain?!"
The old man smiled back at him,
"It's Wuyi Mountain, what's the matter, you've seen it too?"
Xiao Yi was undecided, nodded and replied,
"Yes, I've seen it, and it's a little bit different!Sir, so Nameless and his brother Wujian are first disciples of Wuyi Mountain?!"
The old man's breath was a little weaker, but he could still hear it clearly,
"Yes, both boys are very naughty and not very popular. Infernal qualifications are average, and his personality is also strong, and he can't get along with others, and he is also involved in the nameless. The nameless qualification can be said to be unique in a thousand miles, but it's a pity that no one knows it!"
Xiao Yi thought to himself, at a young age, he has already shown a lot of talent, you think, a teenager can excel just by learning simply, no wonder this old man can't hold back and accept him as an apprentice.
Xiao Yi said again,
"So, in Wuyi Mountain, what kind of existence is Mr.?!"
Strange to say, the more he talked to this old man, the calmer his heart became, and no matter how hard he fought outside, he could no longer affect him!
The old man smiled,
"Compared to the head, it's two generations higher!"
Xiao Yi laughed twice, and said,
"Ha, then this nameless, isn't it a generation higher than their head! From an ordinary disciple, he immediately became a thorn in everyone's side and a thorn in the flesh, no wonder Mr. wants to take him away! Also, only a person like Mr. can do such a thing!"
The old man also grinned and replied,
"I'm just sorry for the material, hey, it's a pity that my body is not as good as before, and I can't teach him well!
Xiao Yi asked,
"Hey, what can you do, sir?"
The old man replied,
"No, the old bald man's apprentice is here, I see that he has good martial arts and good human nature, and he will take him nameless, I can rest assured!"
Xiao Yi sighed and asked,
"So, Mr. wants to hand over the nameless to Ming?uh, wouldn't it be nice for this monk to stay together?!"
The old man pursed his lips, Xiao Yi sent him some water to eat, and only after eating did he listen to him again,
"What's wrong, we two old guys have also traveled to the rivers and lakes together for decades, but it's very good! Haha, the bald man is not as good as me, but the ability to ask for food is too much better than me, follow him, and you will never be hungry!"
Xiao Yi smiled knowingly and replied,
"Hehe, this is really fun, there must be a lot of interesting things happening between the master and the master, can you tell me about it?!"
The old man smiled slightly, cleared his throat, but shook his head,
"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it! I have something else to say!"
Xiao Yi asked,
"Sir, there is nothing that you can't put your mind at ease, just tell Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi will definitely go all out!"
Xiao Yi knew that the old man should not live long, although this statement was a bit abrupt, but the old man was also an immortal-like figure, how could he not figure it out!
The old man nodded slightly, and then spoke,
"Myself, it's nothing, it's fate to say it to you today! Hey, in fact, there is nothing to be nostalgic about in this world, but there are still a few people who make it difficult for me to say goodbye to them!"
Xiao Yi listened very carefully, the old man's breath became weaker and weaker at this time, and his voice became more and more slight.
"Nameless and Ming, I'm relieved. Kotani is good at communication and progressive in thinking, and I don't have much to worry about. It's only this little void, hey, I really don't know how to arrange it. Xiao Xuxiaogu, who has been with me for many years, is nominally a servant, but I have long regarded them as my apprentices......"
After that, I couldn't hear it clearly, and after a while, there was no sound anymore! Xiao Yi's heart finally let go, and he went, this centenarian, just sat cross-legged like this, and ended his life lightly! Xiao Yi's eyes were moist, and he couldn't help but shed tears. Turning his head to look at the old man again, a person's white hair was gently scattered on his shoulders, and it looked slightly fluffy before, but at this time, it slowly collapsed. The blood on his face was gone, the old man's eyes were half-squinted, the corners of his mouth were raised, and there was also a smile! Yes, for a centenarian, he had experienced too many storms and rains, and death was actually nothing to him! Moreover, this was not an ordinary centenarian! He walked peacefully, and that was enough.
It's just one thing, when he died, he was accompanied by Xiao Yi, and Xiao Xuxiaogu, who was closest to him, and there was no name, but they were all blocked out! They were still dealing with other things at this time, and they didn't know that their husband and master had passed away, was this the situation that the old man wanted to see the most?! In the conversation just now, the old man mentioned Xiao Yi's life experience again, and Xiao Yi was willing to believe what a character like him said, which added a lot of trouble to Xiao Yi, but at this time, there was no reason to think about it anymore.
Xiao Yi stretched out his hand and gently stroked the old man's eyes, and after the eyelids were closed, it was as if he was asleep! Xiao Yi tidied up the old man's clothes, straightened out the white hair at that end, and then slowly got up.
There was still a fight outside, but suddenly I heard a loud roar,
"Stop, stop!"
It was a man's voice, Xiao Yi could hear it, the person who was shouting was not his side! When the voice fell, the two sides seemed to be a little restrained, and slowly stopped. Since you can say the word stop, most of the people who speak are still not malicious!
Xiao Yi let out a long sigh of relief, then opened the door and walked out gently. Looking up at the sky, most of the branches and leaves blocked it, and the rest of the part was still gray and gray. The rain was still pouring down on the face, cold and cold. Ming and Nameless are no longer at the door, and now there is only Xiao Yi here. Xiao Yi closed his eyes and exhaled deeply again.
After a long time, he opened his mouth,
"Stop, sir is gone!"
Since Xiao Yi opened the door, everyone's eyes were also focused on him, no one made a sound, such as Tong Lu Yao'er and others, seeing Xiao Yi's performance, should have guessed what happened!
Of course, Xiao Yi's voice confirmed what Tong Lu and the others thought, no, this centenarian is gone! The stone held in Tong Lu's hand fell to the ground, and Yao'er's long sword also drooped. Knowing that his hands were folded and his lips moved slightly, Zhu Zhu Xiaotao and those uninvited guests were all shocked, and the most excited were Nameless and Xiaoxu, one shouted the loudest, and the other ran the most urgently!
"Master, master......"
The nameless shout was very loud, and the whole forest was trembling, alarming the birds, and scattering in all directions! Xiao Xuan ran straight to the grass house, Xiao Yi slightly let go, he came too fast, and inevitably hit the door, with a bang, the whole person bounced away, and quickly stabilized, pushing the door in.
Xiao Yi blinked, squeezed the tears in his eyes, let it not flow, and stopped beside Yao Erlu, and couldn't say a word anymore! Yao'er put away her sword, reached out and held Xiao Yi, her ten fingers intersected, getting tighter and tighter. There are no words, but the two have the same mind and can understand what the other person thinks. Tong Lu approached, but he didn't say a word.
Nameless also entered the hut, and at this time in the forest, only he could be heard crying and shouting. He is still young, and he can't see this life and death, Xiao Yi can also understand it, but his crying made everyone's nose sour again! Although Yao'er didn't cry, her tears also flowed down in big pieces and fell to the ground! As for Zhu Zhu and Xiao Tao, they hid in an inconspicuous corner, hugged each other, and added more protection to each other!
Just as he was grieving, behind the forest, he stretched out a bloody hand and held a green bamboo! Those people had already quietly withdrawn, so how could they continue to come this way?! Xiao Yi was very strange, and he also shifted his attention to that hand! That hand used all his strength and finally dragged his body up! Heh, his whole body was bright red, and the whole bloody person was so scary! He was naked, and the muscles of his body were very eye-catching, but at this time, there were a few knife wounds, and he still couldn't stop bleeding, so it looked a little terrifying! I can't see what it looks like, but those eyes have lost their lustre, and they don't look like anyone at all!
Xiao Yi had never seen this person, so he asked softly,
"Who is this?!"
Tong Lu Yao'er didn't know, but she stood up and replied,
"Hey, it's Mr.'s guard, and I haven't seen him since I got here!Hey, he's really persistent! You rest first, I'll help him in to see Mr. for the last time!"
Xiao Yi and the others were speechless, seeing that they clearly stepped forward to help the man, the man also had injuries on his legs and was unable to move, so he simply started directly and carried him on his back, and like this, he quickly entered the hut. From beginning to end, Xiao Yi has never heard a word from him, or even cried! Hey, this is also a strong person!
Xiao Yi sighed lightly and said,
"I think those people have already withdrawn, so let's not be too nervous!"
Xiao Yi carefully inspected from top to bottom, and found that Yao'er only had some blood stains on her body, and there was no sign of injury, so she was relieved.
"Sit down, let them stay in there a little longer!"
Yao'er wiped a handful of tears and replied,
"Stinky man, I suddenly feel so scared, so scared!"
Xiao Yi patted her on the back, and Yao'er fell into his arms, crying! Xiao Yi helped her sit down, and then slowly stopped crying.
Tong Lu thought about it clearly, and said softly,
"I expected this to happen, but I didn't expect it to come so suddenly! Hey, Yao'er, don't be too sad, the road in the future will be walked by yourself, and it will change if someone else says the last word. I have always believed that you will be able to overcome all difficulties and be happy for a lifetime!"
Yao'er glanced at him, tears couldn't help flowing out again, she didn't reply, but Xiao Yi understood her, and hugged her tighter.
Xiao B whispered,
"Who came to make trouble just now?!"
Yao'er didn't reply, Tong Lu hurriedly said,
"It's the people we met in Longhu Mountain, who are menacing, but they don't have much ability!"
No wonder Yao'er shouted a sentence before, it turned out that it was this group of people! Heh, I didn't expect them to catch up so quickly, I really saw them early!
Xiao Yidao,
"So, their target is really a nameless master!"
Tong Lu Huidao,
"Isn't it, it's really strange, you say, how can you help them find such an old man who may die at any time!"
Xiao Yi also said,
"Could it be that I just want Mr. to show them a face?!"
Tong Lu wiped his face and replied,
"Who knows, seeing that they heard the news of the old gentleman's immortal death just now, they shouldn't want to get rid of him, hey, I really can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out!"
Only at this time did Yao'er raise her head, swallow her saliva, and said,
"Isn't it an old gentleman, what secrets do you still have?"
Xiao Yi replied,
"When people die, there's nothing left! Oh, by the way, you just heard a person yelling, and you stopped, it's really strange!"
Yao'er stood up upright and said viciously,
"It's Wen Mo, heh, he actually got mixed up with these people!"
I used to smell Senior Brother one by one, but now I call him by his name, which is really funny, but at this time, how can Xiao Yi laugh!
Xiao Yi asked her,
"Stinky girl, I also listened to that voice, it is very different from your senior brother's voice, how can you judge that it is him!"
Yao'er replied,
"His roar is most familiar to me, and it doesn't matter if one person can conjure up different sounds. He can hide it from others, but he can't hide it from me! I'm sure it's him, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it! Oh, it's a shame that I'm so enthusiastic about him, he's a guy who eats inside and out!"
Xiao Yi nodded and asked again,
"It's strange that those people listened to him!"
Tong Lu leisurely interjected,
"They are so obedient, you say, could it be their eldest brother, that is, Yao'er's Senior Brother Wen?!"
Xiao Yi was startled, and suddenly felt that it made sense,
"Hey, what Lu Lu said is not unreasonable! We have only heard that there is such a number one person, but we have never seen it, he only said that he stopped the other party, maybe it is really that big brother!"
Yao'er said fiercely,
"It must be so, it must be so, hmph, I'm going to go and tell him clearly!"
Yao'er's temperament, she really said that the wind is the rain, and she immediately stood up and wanted to chase after her. Xiao Yi grabbed her, dragged her to her side and sat down, and then calmed down and comforted,
"Stinky girls, you dissipate your anger first, I don't think their purpose seems to be hurting people, let's not bother with them!"
Tong Lu squeezed out an extremely ugly smile and answered,
"Yes, if your stinky man lets you go, won't he overturn the vinegar jar!"
Although it was a joke, the effect was quite good, Yao'er no longer insisted on going over to find an explanation, at this time she held Xiao Yi with both hands and leaned her head on Xiao Yi's left shoulder.
Zhu Zhu and Xiao Tao approached and sat next to Tong Lu, the two of them were also frightened when they saw the two sides fighting fiercely just now, and finally calmed down at this time, so they came out of that corner with confidence.
Zhu Zhu hesitated for a while, and then asked,
"Let's, should we do something now?!"
Tong Lu glanced at him and replied,
"What else can you do? Are you still in the mood to eat and drink?!"
Zhu Zhu shrugged his shoulders and closed his mouth. Xiao Tao rarely spoke, and at this time, he couldn't even raise his head! Heh, these two followed Xiao Yi and them all the way, and they really gained a lot of knowledge!
Xiao Yidao,
"Don't move around just yet, let them stay for a while!, well, I'd rather know the guy who just went in!"
I don't know when I have come to the side of a few people, listening to Xiao Yi's question, so I took a sound,
"Sir told me about this person, if you are interested, I can also tell you about it!"
Xiao Yi looked back and knew that he was covered in blood, of course, it was contaminated by that person, and he himself was not damaged in the slightest. Ming took a few steps forward, came to sit down opposite Xiao Yi, gently patted the mud stains on his trouser legs, and then spoke,
"This person's name is Wu Tong, the people in the rivers and lakes say that he does not return at night, and decades ago, he was also the number one person who was famous!"
Xiao Yidao,
"I've heard of this name, I've heard that he always haunts the night and does all kinds of bad things, but he's a real wicked person!"
Tong Lu also said,
"Heh, I've heard this name, tsk, it seems that he is really not simple!"
Xiao Yi also said,
"Of course, I heard that even the government can't do anything about him, and can only ask the people to keep their doors closed, but they still can't stop him!
Ming nodded slightly and replied,
"Well, only a character like Mr. can deter him! It is precisely because of Mr. that he has retired from the rivers and lakes. Mr. said that it should have been forty years ago, when the night did not return to the evil deeds, and he should have been killed with a sword, but in the end, the gentleman still let him go! The gentleman said that killing a wicked person is nothing, and if you can convert him, it will be a great merit! He took his hand, and although the process of probation was very hard, the gentleman finally succeeded. Since then, he has always been with Mr. Ye without returning, and if he encounters danger, he will stand up and drive away all threats for him! There have been several times when Ye Bu was seriously injured and almost died because he was protecting Mr. Ye, and it is not easy to live until now!"
Xiao Yi sighed lightly and said,
"Under the influence of Mr., he has become a man of affection and righteousness! Yes, this is much better than killing him!"
Tong Lu also said,
"Tsk, more than forty years! Hey, if you don't return this night, aren't you sixty or seventy years old now?!"
Ming nodded in response,
"Yes, he's in his seventies! It's just that he rarely appears in the daytime, so his skin looks very fair, and if he is well maintained, he looks like he is only forty or fifty!"
Tong Lu couldn't help but admire,
"Ouch, that's amazing, I can maintain it like this at the age of sixty or seventy, that's a dream that will wake up with a smile! Hey, I can't think about it so much, maybe I won't live to be sixty or seventy!"
Clearly,
"Everyone has his own life, you can't force it, cherish the moment is true!"
Tong Lu pouted and said,
"The master is right, the master is right!"
Xiao Yi was more concerned about other things, so he asked again,
"Clearly, I suddenly remembered something, and I don't know if it has something to do with this night's non-return!"
Ming nodded and replied to him,
"Well, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
Xiao Yi recalled the strange things he encountered on the way to Longhu Mountain, and asked,
"Before I met the horse team, we happened to pass by a mulberry forest, I always felt a little strange, I heard you talk about it just now, but I think it has something to do with this night's non-return!"
Clearly, he replied,
"You can think of this, tsk, Xiao Yi, you really have a keen sense of smell! Well, that's right, the owner of that mulberry forest will not return this night!"
Xiao Yi and the others were very strange, of course, although Zhu Zhu and Xiao Tao were staring at each other, they also listened very seriously!
Clearly, slowly,
"Mr. said that after coming to Longhu Mountain a few years ago, Mr. insisted on letting Ye Ye not return and leave! If Ye did not return, he was forced to die, so Mr. relented and allowed him to live around Longhu Mountain, and he could come to see Mr. once a month. The gentleman strongly demanded and compromised, and there was certainly no reason not to do so if he did not return at night. Later, he exchanged the money he had accumulated over the years for the mulberry grove! He was also a caring man, and he knew that Mr. was very good at eating this mulberry, so he took care of the mulberry grove very seriously! Whenever the mulberry was ripe, he would select the largest and fullest one and send it to him. Mr. is old and can't eat much, although most of them still let Xiaoxu eat them, but Mr. is happy from the bottom of his heart, which is also true!"
Xiao Yidao,
"This is a good time to eat mulberries, so he sent mulberries over again, and he happened to meet you to leave, so let's come together!"
Clearly,
"This time it was a little different, he came this time, and he didn't bring mulberries with him! But he also came with news, because he ran into a group of people, and heard that he was coming to look for him, so he hurried to report it. Actually, we were going to leave, and it didn't matter if he came or not. He insisted that the other party was terrible, and that he must stay with Mr., and of course, Mr. did not refuse, so he took him with him!"
Tong Lu answered,
"Hey, so the one who stole our horse won't return this night?!
Yao'er also said,
"I say, I walked all day in the woods with the stinky man, and I didn't even see a single figure, so I had already left!
Ming nodded slightly, and looked back again, his eyes full of melancholy.
Tong Lu asked him,
"Clear, you, what's wrong with you?!"
Ming sighed softly and replied,
"It's nothing, I just think that Sir's words may be fulfilled again!"
A few people didn't know what he was talking about, Tong Lu thought for a while, patted his thigh, and said hurriedly,
"You mean, that, that ......"
Tong Lu pointed to the hut, but he couldn't speak, and nodded at him clearly, he should have guessed what he wanted to say! Tong Lu drooped his shoulders, and Yao'er was busy asking him,
"Lu Lu, you said, you understand this, what does this mean!"
Tong Lu let out a long breath and said,
"Hey, Mr. is gone, this night road that does not return at night has also come to an end!"
