Book Eighty-Five: The Old Maniac
"Since you know the way to Miaojiang, then you will lead the way. β
For the person sent by Xue Ruyan, Hong Xia Zhi didn't look at it from the beginning, this is a nail, which makes him very unhappy in his heart. However, the narrow road in the 100,000 mountains is winding and rugged, and even if you hold a map in your hand, it is difficult to discern the direction for a while.
The man with the scar, known as the second child, withdrew the scimitar and put it in the sheath, but he kept staring at the person sent by Xue Ruyan with unkind eyes.
"Seniors, my name is Liang Fuqiu, seniors, please come with me. β
Liang Fuqiu stretched out his hand and touched the bridge of his nose, and the corners of his mouth were also smiling bitterly, their precautions, their ignorance, but they blamed him for not saying it, this desire to add to the crime, there is no excuse.
Liang Fuqiu tidied up the clothes on his chest, but he raised his hand unhurriedly and signaled, and walked in front.
"I don't know Lord Liang, serving by the side of Young Master Xue, and any official position in the palace?"
The four people behind Hongxia were a little indignant, but they were forcibly suppressed by him. It's just that between walking, the atmosphere is very friendly, and Hongxia can only open his mouth to relieve it.
"This official position is too small, don't mention it, with the skills of a few seniors, if you want to get an official and a half position in the palace, it is as easy as a hand. β
In the dense forest at night, it is quiet and dark, and a full moon hangs high, through the gaps between the leaves, sprinkling a little moonlight. Liang Fuqiu stood up suddenly, frowned and discerned the direction, then directly bowed down and walked into the bushes on the side.
"This ......... Big brother, is this kid playing tricks on us? β
Is there a way not to go, dig into the bushes? The second urn said angrily, but Hongxia was in front, and he didn't dare to make too many times.
"Yes, big brother, we can't believe this person sent by Snow Like Smoke. β
The other three all opened their mouths to agree, with a pair of eyes, all of them were not good.
"These 100,000 mountains belong to the territory of Miaojiang, even if Xue Ruyan doesn't trust us, she doesn't dare to come here, she also expects us to capture the saint girl of Miaojiang alive. β
Hongxia's face turned cold, waved his hand, and bent down into the bushes.
The trio followed.
The road in the bushes was very narrow, and it could only be used by one person to walk with his bow, and in front of him, Liang Fuqiu's figure was in sight, and he walked very slowly.
"Big brother, although Miao Jiang never asks about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, I have heard that the women of Miao Jiang are all tender and pinch out of the water, tsk tsk......"
The second child's smile was very obscene, but when he smiled, the scar on the left side of his face was like a centipede wriggling, which was really a little scary.
"Second brother, who are you listening to? If that's the case, wouldn't it be a great thing for us to catch the Miaojiang Holy Maiden and try it when we catch a few Miaojiang women. β
The third child's eyes lit up, and he was smiling and rubbing his hands together.
"Second brother, third brother, if you don't want to die, don't worry about it, go boldly, the women of Miao Jiang have a hot temperament and make good use of Gu poison, even if you don't use the eldest brother's action, you will die a tragic death. β
The fourth child is very small, but his face is pale, and there is a gloomy voice in his mouth.
Lao Wu pursed his mouth, glanced at Hongxia at the front, and then kept silent.
"The fourth brother is right, as long as you catch the Holy Maiden of Miaojiang, you can mess around as much as you want, if you want to leave Miaojiang alive, give me clean hands and feet. β
Hongxia's voice was cold, he glanced back, the four people behind him were all his brothers who walked the rivers and lakes, and he knew what his temperament was. If it was because of their reckless actions, the matter would be exposed, and none of the six of them would be able to leave Miao Jiang alive.
Although Miao Jiang does not interfere in the rivers and lakes, Miao Jiang's Gu poison is famous all over the world, which can make people change their style.
"Yes, big brother. β
Seeing that Hongxia was angry, the four of them shrank their necks in fear, and then stopped talking.
The narrow bushes didn't grow long, and after half an hour, the five Hongxia people walked out of the bushes. It's just that Liang Fuqiu's body seems to be frozen, and I saw him frowning.
"Lord Liang, I don't know where to go next?"
Hongxia, who waited quietly for a while, saw that Liang Fuqiu was unmoved, so he gradually lost his patience and stepped forward to ask.
"Hongxia senior, there is a phantom array here, the person who set up this array is clever, and he wants to break it, without alarming him, I am afraid that it will take some effort, and you seniors hope to wait for a while. β
After Liang Fuqiu turned around and bowed to finish speaking, he sat cross-legged on the ground, pinched the seal with both hands and put it on his lap, and closed his eyes under frowning.
"Fangshi!"
Hongxia and several people looked at Liang Fuqiu, all of them in surprise.
It is rumored that in order to pursue the way of immortality, the First Emperor gathered all the monks in the world, and spent a lot of heavenly materials and earth treasures to refine the elixir of immortality. It's just that this is against the sky, the first emperor's qi has been exhausted, the pill has not been completed, and after waiting for a long time to no avail, the first emperor was angry and killed all the monks in the world.
Fang Shi has been wiped out in the long river of history since then, and he has been named guilty of deceiving the world and stealing his name.
"This Lord Liang turned out to be a monk. β
never thought that Liang Fuqiu, who had always been despised by them, would be a monk. The second child suddenly stepped forward and looked at Liang Fuqiu carefully, but the contempt in his eyes had long since disappeared.
"Don't make a noise, the person who arranged the phantom array is also a monk, since Lord Liang told us to wait for a while, we will wait quietly, don't bother again. β
Hongxia's eyes were a little solemn, there were monks in the eastern soil, and there were also monks in Miaojiang. Their alchemy magic and array thaumaturgy are all great talents that several parties want to woo.
In the forest, it was quiet, the night was deep, only the faint sound of breathing echoed in my ears.
The 100,000 mountains are even darker and deeper.
The wind rises, people go, buildings are empty, trees fall, and rivers are dry.
"My father liked to sit under the tree and enjoy the shade, shaking the fan in his hand. β
The old madman laughed stupidly, his eyes cloudy, and he shuttled madly through a sandy field. But wherever he passed, his clothes were not clean, and the soft sand did not leave a single footprint about him.
"Everyone says I'm crazy, yes, I'm crazy, but my father likes to sit under a tree and enjoy the shade, shaking a fan in his hand. β
Under the soft moonlight, the old madman's eyes regained a little clarity, and it was just a breath.
He's crazy, stupid, wandering around, aimlessly.
The late night wind was a little cool, blowing his hair and beard, and he was dressed in plain clothes.
This is a sea of sand that belongs to the boundary of the Western Regions.
"The truth is established in madness, and the true self is known in troubled times. Old madman, you are the most clear person living in this world, even your old friend, Xiaoyaozi, and you can't help but fall into clichΓ©s. β
Dressed in white, fluttering, from top to bottom, like an immortal. This is a man with snow-white hair and beard, crane hair and childish face, gestures, fairy wind bones, and some breath that does not eat the fireworks of the world.
"Who are you? You call me crazy. β
The way was blocked, and the old madman raised his eyes and smiled stupidly, and then left behind. It's just that the figure of the man in white disappeared from the spot like a ghost, and reappeared in front of the old madman.
He didn't say a word, just looked at the old madman with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
The sand is very large, and the old madman does not walk very quickly, and wherever the old madman goes, the man in white follows.
Standing right in front of the old madman, that's what he laughed like.
"You say I'm crazy, I'm not going to kill you, go away, I'm going to find my father. β
The man in white who is like a maggot with bones, no matter how he shakes it, he can't shake it off, and a trace of anger finally appeared in the old madman's cloudy eyes.
"Oh, why do you say you're crazy, but you don't kill me?"
The smile on the face of the man in white was a little playful.
"I'm crazy, you didn't tell a lie, why should I kill you. β
The old madman bypassed the man in white again, but the figure of the man in white did not move.
"Old madman, you are still right, the most unpleasant thing in this world is the truth. β
The man in white restrained the smile on his face, he looked at the back of the old madman with cold eyes, a momentum invisible, but also unusually cold, diffuse, everywhere he passed, there was a thin layer of ice on the sand.
"Old madman, it's time to wake up, I've been lonely for so many years. β
The voice of the man in white went to the thunder roaring.
"Ahh
The old madman stopped moving, but with a pained look on his face, his head in his hands. His facial features were hideous, but the cloudiness in his eyes was gradually fading, and it was replaced by the clarity of the little by little.
"My father is gone, the rattan chair is empty, there is no one to fan the fan, and I am the only one under the tree. β
His eyes were completely clear, and two lines of cloudy tears flowed down the cheeks of the old madman. He could see what he could see, but he didn't have what his heart thought.
Where the heart belongs, and where the father is, that is the place where the heart belongs.
"Yu Jiuyou, why did you wake me up? You're not afraid that I will kill you?"
Without the crazy old madman, he turned to face Yu Jiuyou, his face was not soft, but it was also solemn.
The old madman stood with his hands in his hands, and he faded away from the turbidity, and shook off the dust, and his spine was straight, like a sword, and his edge was retracted.
The sword is sheathed, live!
The sword is unsheathed, and death!
"Kill me, you and I are out of the same realm, even if you live well and see thoroughly, at most you are a little higher than me. Anyway, at least you won't kill me now. β
The man in white dispersed his momentum, a smile appeared on his face again, the tip of his right finger was bent, but the sand at his feet suddenly squirmed, and a sand sword stood out and was held in the hand of the man in white.
"Your retreat, I will be invincible in the world, here, Yun Bufan came to me, but the difference in the realm, I did not fall under the killer. Since you are awake, you will accompany me through two tricks, and I will see if your cultivation is as terrifying as the rumors. β
The man in white's clothes were swinging wildly, he held the sand sword in his hand, and his eyes were invincible.
"Yu Jiuyou, you are still the same as before, and you want to enter the Tao with martial arts. β
I hold the sword,
I should guard what I should guard,
My heart is like iron,
Be invincible.
