Volume 1 Troubled Boy Chapter 23 Descending the Mountain
The night in the mountains seems to be extraordinarily wide.
The moon is as cool as water in the sky, and under the long sky, the mountain wind is howling.
Whirled, roared, and finally turned into a low hiss.
In the clear mountains and fields all around, only the faint candlelight flickered in the grass hut under the peak, which looked so lonely.
After several years of living in the mountains, I have gone from unaccustomed to habitual, from strange to familiar.
Until now that he was about to say goodbye, with blood and tears, and with a responsibility, Luo Bei felt for the first time that the responsibility on his shoulders was so great, because he did not allow Sister Xiaochan to be hurt in any way.
This is what he once said in front of Zhuo Xiaochan, but for himself, it was a promise.
It's just that he has just experienced the death of his master, and Zhuo Xiaochan's sudden poison, and a series of accidents have followed, how can he, a boy who is only twelve years old, accept it.
Except for a burning heart, how does he know how to deal with it at such a time?
All night, Luo Bei sat on the edge of the bed, guarding all the time, waiting for dawn, and then went on the road to seek medical treatment.
In his twelve years, except for the remote small village, it was the four years on Qixia Mountain, he didn't know how far away the place called "Zhuxian Town" was, what kind of people he would meet, whether the road to medical treatment would be smooth, and everything was uncertain.
Although Yun Cang did not say whether Wan Ruhai would have any difficulties in saving people, it could be seen from his attitude that he wanted to stop talking that this would not be an easy task, but so what? Luo Bei thought in his heart.
As long as he can cure Sister Xiaochan's poison, then if he really wants his own life, why not!
......
The moonlight shines on the long sky, bent like a bow shadow.
On the edge of the grass outside the maple forest, there are two figures, one black and one white, a man and a woman.
The two of them had been standing for a long time before they knew it.
The broken tombstone is like the palm of a hand with two fingers cut off, and the grave with new soil has grown fine grass overnight, and there are unknown small insects still climbing in the soil, I wonder if it will be the original one.
"How long does that girl have left?" said Toad, who had been looking at the mutilated tombstone.
"Ten days, ten days at most, if it weren't for my Soul Rejuvenation Pill, she wouldn't be able to survive three days"
Yun Cang's words were not only quite complacent about his elixir, but also a little distressed.
"The one you said is like the sea...... How much do you know?"
"I don't know, I think there shouldn't be too many people in this world who can understand him, when you see him for the first time, you will find that he looks like any famous doctor you can imagine, and it is true, I remember that he traveled the world, and happened to encounter a plague that had never been seen before, he went deep into the epidemic village, and even risked the risk of being infected with the epidemic for more than 30 days to develop medicines, and finally controlled the spread of the epidemic, and the name of his wonderful hand doctor was also obtained after that"
"But ......"
Yun Cang thought for a while before he said: "I always feel that this person is unfathomable, I have been with him three times, so I know that his martial arts cultivation is extremely profound, and it is extremely strange, and I can't even tell what sect he comes from, and when it comes to his medical skills, he is naturally often unexpected, this may be the most suspicious place...... Because a martial arts predecessor many years ago once said that the highest depth of medical skills is the secret of life and death, and it is said that there is only one place in this world that can solve the mystery of life and death, and that is the Valley of the Northern Death God."
Even the people of the rivers and lakes don't know much about the Valley of the Grim Reaper, because apart from legends, there is no one or anything in reality that has anything to do with that place, and even the fact that it has been recognized many years ago is that that place does not exist at all, or it has long been a thing of the past in the transformation of heaven and earth.
"Over the years, I have always felt that the human heart is the most terrible thing in this world!" Yun Cang seemed to remember something, and said with a worried look in his eyes.
I don't know if Toad Yue listened to his words, he could see that since Toad Yue experienced the True Spirit Chess Realm with Luo Bei, there was a different brilliance in his eyes, and her temperament like her was often the most persistent, and it was difficult to change what she had identified.
However, he was determined to remind her, "There is not much time left before the rumored appearance of the Eye of Heaven and Earth, and we still have a long way to go......"
Toad Yue didn't seem to hear his words at all, and walked a few steps forward until she reached the tombstone before stopping, she stretched out her slender fingers and slowly stroked the broken part of the tombstone, until it stopped at the deepest gap.
Her eyes were tactful, as if she was attracted by something, and after a long time, she said slowly: "Yueshu Sword ......"
Yun Cang was still thinking of some reason to persuade her, because they still had very important things to go, but at this time, when she said "Yue Shu Sword", he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and he also stepped forward.
I saw that half of the hilt of the sword was exposed in the gap of the tombstone, and below it was an extremely thin sword hole, obviously, there was an extremely sharp sword placed here, otherwise the sword hole left would not have been such a neat cut.
Yun Cang thought of the wind scar sword that suddenly appeared in the air during the battle between Qin Muchuan and Fang Jingzhou, and couldn't help but sigh: "Yue Shu...... Wind Scar...... They were all once famous things, but they ended up staying in such a deserted mountain."
"Maybe this is their best destination," Toad Yue said suddenly.
The famous sword enters the barren mountain, and the hero is buried in the green mound.
Who would have thought that the owner of the once sensational Wind Scar Yueshu on the rivers and lakes was no longer alive at this time.
The broken tombstone was not restored, and the wind scar that came out of the protector was finally buried with the owner in the grave.
Although Toad Yue and Yun Cang discovered these two famous swords, in addition to feeling sorry for them, they naturally would not covet them like ordinary Jianghu characters.
Perhaps, the famous sword will one day reappear in the world.
But the dead will sleep forever in the earth......
......
In the early morning, the mountain wind blew with a faint coolness, and Luobei, who had not slept all night, suddenly broke in when a small snow-white figure suddenly broke in, and the emotions that had been pent up all night instantly collapsed.
I don't know if I was shocked by Luo Bei's tears, when Da Bai came in, he was no longer as naughty as before, but first jumped into Luo Bei's arms, and then jumped to the side of the bed and rubbed Zhuo Xiaochan, who was lying on the bed quietly with her furry face.
Luo Bei stretched out his hand to take it back, stroked its snow-white hair, and said softly: "Are you also worried about Sister Xiaochan, don't worry, she is just asleep, she will wake up soon"
Da Bai rolled his eyes, revealing a trace of doubt, screamed in a low voice, put a hand on Luo Bei's arm, and let Luo Bei's hand caress it.
Suddenly, Luo Bei hugged Da Bai tightly, and the moment he closed his eyes, tears welled up again.
At this time, the door opened, Toad Yue walked in, and Yun Cang, who followed in, stopped by the door, with his feet crossed, as if he deliberately did not look at the two people in the house.
"It's time to go," Toad Yue said to Luobei.
Luo Bei's eyes were already covered with a lot of bloodshots, obviously, he had a really bad night, and it wasn't until this time that Toad Yue walked in and had a glimmer of brilliance in his eyes.
Yun Cang was independent in front of the door, and couldn't help but shake his head, it seems that he really has no way to take this girl, and she has to rely on her for what she wants to do.
However, as long as you don't delay that important thing.
The moment he saw Toad Yue, Da Bai Teng jumped up from Luo Bei's body, and if Luo Bei hadn't grabbed it, he would have escaped from the window in one jump.
Toad Yue just looked at Da Bai seriously, and didn't say anything, although she was extremely curious about Da Bai, but what matters now is Zhuo Xiaochan's injury, and the others have to be put aside for the time being.
A few people were ready to hit the road.
......
Standing on Qixia Mountain, looking up at the sky and looking down on the earth, it seems that you are living in the clouds.
But it's only when you really go deep into it, on the path down the mountain, that you realize how steep and steep the mountain really is.
The sound of the hunting wind resounded in my ears, as if I could no longer hear any other sounds.
Looking back, the shadows of the trees in the mountains swayed, as if they were also saying goodbye.
It's hard to walk, it's hard to go to the sky, probably that's just it!
Yuncang carried Zhuo Xiaochan all the way but walked in the front, his steps were light, like a nimble black giant wolf shuttling through the forest.
Knowing that the person behind him had been left far behind by himself, he slowed down and looked back, only to see that Toad Yue and Luo Bei had almost turned into a small dot.
He smiled helplessly, if it weren't for that stubborn stinky girl, who was a greedy wolf and a high-grade cultivator, he could be regarded as a top master in the rivers and lakes, why would he let himself run around with a patient on his back.
Luo Bei kept his head down, trying to keep up with them, but no matter how hard he tried, with his little effort, he could only see the black shadow in front of him gradually moving away.
The grass in the mountains cut his calves and oozes blood, and he gritted his teeth to hold back the pain, and the branches hit his face and bruise, but he ignored them.
Toad Yue's steps were very light, and it looked like she was walking on the mountain road, but she was not far from Luobei, and sometimes turned her face sideways, looking at the somewhat stubborn young man not far behind her, but she turned her face away the moment he raised his head.
She and Yun Cang had said intentionally or unintentionally that he was very much like a person, but that person was too far away from them, and she really didn't dare to imagine it, which was probably the reason why she was willing to follow Luobei, she thought in her heart.
Unlike them, Dabai is much easier to run on the mountain trails.
It spread its hooves, ran and jumped like a rabbit, and at one moment it went deep into the jungle, and then suddenly its head came out, and then it ran to the front, and then fell behind, but in any case, it flew with its feet, and there was no sign of tiredness.
Toad Moon has always been very interested in this snow-white guy, because the first time she saw it, she felt that it had a kind of spirituality, but she didn't know why.
Just when she was silently thinking about Dabai in her heart, Luo Bei, who was not far from her, didn't know what she had tripped over, and the whole person fell among the grass, rolling forward several feet because the speed was too fast.
Toad Yue heard him let out a low snort, when she turned around, Luo Bei had already limped up, she stopped moving forward, along the way, she had never said a word to Luo Bei, and at this moment, she walked back to Luo Bei's side, seeing that he was just scratching a little skin, and it was no big deal, she still didn't say a word, but grabbed his arm with one hand, and didn't see how hard she worked, Luo Bei suddenly felt that her feet were light, and her body was no longer so heavy.
However, he didn't go far, Luo Bei broke free from Toad Yue's help, with a small smile on his face, but his eyes showed deep self-blame, or a kind of inferiority.
"Thank you, I'll definitely keep up with your ......"
Luo Bei said, but he didn't stop at his feet, trying harder like a weak elk, relying on himself to follow the herd, and got up when he fell.
Toad's freed hand was still in front of her, and she looked at the stubborn back, and stood there for a long time, until a loud cry woke her up.
When he turned around, he saw a small, white fellow standing beside him, with his face upturned and starry eyes looking at him, as if he was saying something.
Toad Yue was seen like this by Da Bai, her hand retracted like electricity, and the white veil on her face was still there, as if she was relieved.
I don't know why, Da Bai is obviously just a special cat, but in front of it, he seems to be seen through by it as if he doesn't even have a secret.
Perhaps, like this, you can see things that you can't even tell?
She has always felt that her heart is like the sea, the ancient well has no waves, and the calm is more like indifference.
But just now, at the moment when her hand was broken free by Luo Bei, he found that his heart seemed to experience a trembling, which had not been since she learned that the person was dead when she was very young.
Could it be because of the illusion seen in the True Spirit Chess Realm?
She shook her head hard, telling herself that it was just a dream and would never come true.
At this time, the figure in front of them had already gone a little far, and the black-clothed Yuncang in the distance stopped and was waiting for them.
Da Bai almost took the same steps as Toad Yue, and there was no need to deliberately slow down to wait for Luobei, and Toad Yue's figure was much more relaxed.
I saw a white figure shuttling, like a white sail galloping away on the river, cutting through the water waves and the sky at the same time.
Along the way, before I knew it, I had gone down the mountain, and then I walked up a tree-lined path, and then it turned into a long avenue that seemed to have no edge at all.
In addition to a simple rest and finding something to satisfy their stomachs, the three of them and one cat have basically been on the road, although the green spots on Zhuo Xiaochan's body have slowed down the spread because of taking Yuncang's elixir, they are still expanding, climbing from the palm to the arm, extending from the arm to the neck, looking extremely terrifying.
In this way, Luobei is even more worried.
Therefore, even if the scenery changes along the way, the mountains and rivers are pleasant, they have no intention of appreciating it at all, but fortunately, Yuncang's cultivation is extremely high, even if they walk with weight, they don't see how tired, if they change to Luobei carrying Zhuo Xiaochan on their backs, they may not even have the strength to climb in the end.
I don't know how far I have walked along a winding and endless avenue, how many cities and villages I have passed, and I don't know how many small bridges connecting the two sides of the river along the way.
When they cross a small bridge or a village, they will find that the smoke in the villages on both sides of the bridge has unconsciously turned into a piece of embarrassing lights.
The lights of 10,000 homes represent 10,000 families, and in these most ordinary places in the world, I don't know how many joys, sorrows, and sorrows occur every day, gathering and parting.
Ordinary and ordinary, ordinary is also real.
And in front of Luo Bei, what is even more real is the end of the dazed avenue, a world that he is still completely unfamiliar with.
