Chapter 8 Love is stronger than gold

Time always takes away everything you can without noticing, and if there is anything in the world that is invincible, it must be time.

It's only been three years, and with a flick of his fingers, he slipped away without a sound. On the iron cable connecting Ling Xiao Peak and Ethereal Peak, a young man squatted on his knees, not moving. The wind swept through the young man's soft hair and fluttered gently.

The man closed his eyes tightly, put his hands flat, and slowly lifted up from the dantian, to his chest, and changed the lifting and pushing. The movements are slow, the fist intent is indeed more and more mellow, and the wind around the body is getting thicker. The man's punches went from slow to fast, and finally, with each punch, even the air trembled. There are even wisps of clouds and mist that are blown away by the fist wind. Although the boxing method is unusual, it is beaten by men, and it is natural. Obviously, I don't know how many times I've practiced it.

At the end of the iron cable, a pine tree that has weathered the wind and rain stands impressively. A woman in purple stood under a tree, slim. Carrying a delicate bamboo lou in his hand, his face was full of smiles. A pair of bright and moving eyes stared at the young man on the iron rope tightly, his eyes were full of tenderness, if the gaze could melt people, then the man at this time would have turned into rain and dew.

The man slowly closed his fists at the end of the practice, slowly returned to the dantian with both palms, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and the true qi around his body quickly entered the body. An ordinary Taoist Qi refining technique actually made him practice to a small extent. For three years, the daily practice of boxing has been boring, but the man seems to have enjoyed it. Every time I close my fist, not only am I not tired, but I feel refreshed and my muscles and veins are clear. It can be seen that this boxing method is wonderful.

"Barbarian, don't practice, come over for dinner first. The woman cried out with her hands over her mouth.

When the man heard this, he turned his head and looked at it, and was immediately overjoyed. In response, a vertical leap, the toes of the toes on the iron cable, actually soared into the air. A few stepped into the air and landed lightly beside the woman. He looked at her stupidly.

The woman's face turned red when she was seen, she glared at Hu Man'er with disgust, and said, "Look at it, look at what you see, you see what is beautiful every day." I won't bloom on my face. Although he complained so much, he looked at the resolute young man in front of him with tender eyes, and he was even more admired. Wanqing reached out to wipe the sweat from Hu Man'er's forehead.

Hu Man'er reached out to hold Wanqing's delicate palm, and said softly: "Who said that you have no flowers on your face, aren't you just a flower?" Anyway, I just want to see you wither. How. ”

How could Wanqing bear such love words, she was already as sweet as honey in her heart. gently patted Hu Man'er's chest and said to Hu Man'er: "Don't be poor, eat quickly, and go to my father's place after eating." I don't know what I'm looking for you. ”

While talking, he didn't forget the work in his hands, carefully opened the bamboo Lou next to him, and handed the food to Hu Man'er, Hu Man'er was indeed hungry when he practiced boxing for a long time, so he ate it in a big gulp, Wanqing sat on the side with her hands on her cheeks and quietly stared at the sweetheart in front of her.

Three years have long faded away from the immaturity on the faces of the two, in exchange for some wind and frost after the world. Wanqing is becoming more and more beautiful, and her figure is also tall and well-proportioned, although she does not use powder, she is elegant and dusty. Hu Man'er is much taller than before, with obvious facial features, a high nose bridge, and a pair of deep eyes like stars in the sky, bright and bright. Although a few years of exposure to the wind and sun have darkened his complexion, he is still healthy. A clean and plain robe adds a bit of heroism to it.

Maybe she was really hungry, Hu Man'er finished eating the food in the bowl in three or two clicks, Wanqing saw Hu Man'er finish eating, wiped the remaining rice grains on his face, and said softly: "Time flies so fast, three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and now the seemingly calm world does not know how many years of peace there are still years." If the Demon Lord does make a comeback, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid of us...... Barbarian, let's get married. Even if you can only do 100 days, 10 days husband and wife. Qing'er is dead, and there are no regrets. ”

Hu Man'er looked at Wanqing's reddish eyes, and the turmoil in her heart was indescribable, how could she be favored by such an excellent woman. Why don't you want to marry this woman who has been in love since the first meeting. But a good word hung on his lips but he couldn't spit it out for a long time. suddenly thought of the nightmare that had haunted me for many years, that sea of corpses and blood, and I still have no clue who did it. Hu Man'er looked at Wanqing, and her originally tender eyes seemed to be burning. His expression also changed from gentle and slowly to hideous. His eyes were bloodshot.

Wanqing saw that Man'er was hesitant, and her head lowered because of her shyness slowly raised, and when she saw Hu Man'er in front of her, she was shocked, and a trace of fear arose from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't help but take two steps back. Suicide shouted, "Barbarian, you...... It's ......"

Hearing Wanqing's call, she immediately pulled Hu Man'er back from her memories. The anger around him gradually faded. I was shocked, and I didn't know why I couldn't control my emotions every time I thought about it for the past year. There is even a faint urge to vent in the bottom of my heart, killing people and drinking blood. Break the bones and raise ashes. Only in this way can you vent the mania in your heart.

After sobering up, Hu Man'er grabbed Wanqing's jade hand, pulled it into her arms, and hugged her tightly. After a long time, he slowly spoke: "I'm sorry, Qing'er." I...... Just now...... I don't know why, whenever I think of that morning, that memory, I ...... I couldn't control my state of mind, and Master said that this was my inner demon. If you want to achieve great success on the way, you must learn to restrain and wear out this demonic obstacle. But I ......" Speaking of this, Hu Man'er was already trembling.

Wanqing felt the changes in Hu Man'er's body, and immediately felt carefree, burying her head tightly in Hu Man'er's chest. hugged Hu Man'er, who was panicked at this time, and said: "It's okay, it's okay, there is Qing'er, even if heaven is unkind, Qing'er will not abandon you in this life." ”

In the sky, white cranes pass by, accompanied by long crane songs. At this time, Hu Man'er was dumbfounded, and there was no need to say much, only hugging each other and hugging each other tightly.

After a long time, Wanqing suddenly broke free from Hu Man'er's embrace, wiped a handful of tears from the corners of her eyes, and complained: "It's all your fault, I almost forgot, my father asked you to see him, and I told you just now." If it's something important, it's not good to delay. ”

Hu Man'er stretched out her hand and pinned the green silk in Wanqing's ear behind her ear. He replied softly: "It's not in the way, let's Lingxiao Guan disciples have been in the business for three years, and we must go down the mountain to practice, catch demons and subdue demons for the people, in exchange for merit." These masters have already told me. This is why the Lord came to me. Now I have been here for three years, and my exercises have been slightly successful. You can't break the rules of this place. Qing'er, you grew up watching from childhood, you don't know this? Besides, my revenge has not yet been avenged, and it is time to go down the mountain to find the murderer. ”

"I don't know, it's just ...... It's just that I'm a little reluctant in my heart. Daddy and Grandpa won't let me go down the mountain with you. No matter how noisy I am, I shouldn't make any noise. But I'm just reluctant. As she spoke, Wanqing's eyes were moist again, and she saw that she was going to bring rain to pear blossoms.

Looking at Wanqing's red and swollen eyes, Hu Man'er couldn't help but feel a little distressed in her heart, and hurriedly pulled Wanqing into her arms to be relieved. It was a long time before the two slowly separated. This time there was no more hypocrisy, Wanqing hurriedly put away the dishes and chopsticks and strode away, Hu Man'er looked at Wanqing's lonely back as she gradually walked away, and suddenly covered her mouth with her hands and shouted in the direction of Wanqing: "Qing'er, when I return from the mountain, I will find the master to propose marriage on my behalf." ”

Wanqing's body shook suddenly when she heard this, and she turned to look at Hu Man'er tremblingly and replied loudly: "Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son." "My face was full of tears.

It's just that the two of them didn't know that at this time, on the top of the glass in the Lingxiao Palace, there was a black-robed man with an iron mask who was silently watching the two, and a strange smile flashed at the corner of his mouth. Seeing that the two were separated, it was only for a moment, and then they disappeared in place. There is no trace.

About a pillar of incense, Hu Man'er came to the main hall of Lingxiao alone, and Wu Xiuyuan, the master of the view, sat in the main hall. One hand is holding the case, and the other hand is holding an unknown Taoist classic. Behind him stood a few young people, their faces solemn.

Hu Man'er looked up, and there were all unfamiliar faces.

Although Hu Man'er has been a beginner for a long time, he has been practicing diligently on weekdays, and after finishing his homework every day, he will go to the girl he misses for affection, and he has no time to get to know others, but the name Hu Man'er is well-known, because Wu Daozi only accepts one apprentice in his life.

Therefore, there are few people Hu Man'er knows in the view, and there are only a handful of people who can be named. Not to mention these young-looking descendants.

The leader of several people was a handsome man, and at this time, the man's eyes were falling on Hu Man'er. Why is this man said to be handsome and not handsome, because this man is three points more beautiful than a woman. Look at this person, his eyebrows are like willow leaves, his eyes are like the moon, and his nose is a little cherry red. The beautiful long hair is tied up with a simple headband, and the pure white robe is spotless, like a fairy who has fallen into the dust. Hu Man'er looked at it and was a little stupid.

Seeing Hu Man'er staring at him like this, the man seemed to be a little annoyed, glared at Hu Man'er, and snorted lightly in his mouth, don't look over his head and stop looking at him.

Hu Man'er felt that she was a little rude, and hurriedly looked away and looked at the three people next to her.

There are two men and one woman among the three, and the two men look unremarkable, but they are extremely strong, and they look like they are tigers. Neither of them wore Taoist robes, and they were all plain clothes worn by ordinary people. Both of them pulled their cuffs up to their elbows, revealing their thick arms, and the green tendons on their arms were clearly visible. The two of them stand in a dignified and straight posture, and they don't have to think much to know that they are masters of foreign boxing. Looking at the appearance of the two again, they are somewhat similar.

At this time, the two of them were also looking at Hu Man'er, and nodded to him with a smile.

Hu Man'er nodded in return. Without much stopping his gaze on the two of them, he looked at the woman next to him.

The last one is a woman. This woman is also a beautiful thing, although not as refined as the man just now, but in temperament is not inferior to him at all, especially those moving eyes, like a deep and calm lake, without the slightest wave. Two strands of green silk slipped from the sideburns, no wind automatically, and there was no expression on her fair and tender face, and she didn't look at Hu Man'er, just looked at the sky outside the hall and was stunned.

Hu Man'er retracted his gaze, settled his mind, hurriedly walked to the hall, raised his hand, bent down and bowed to the junior, and said respectfully: "Disciple Hu Man'er pays a visit to the master." I don't know why the Lord summoned his disciples?"

Wu Xiuyuan slowly raised his eyelids, glanced at Hu Man'er, slowly put down the classics in his hand, nodded and showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, but did not get up. Then he said, "The barbarian is here, you should have guessed what called you here." ”

"The disciple knows that it should be the expiration of the three-year period, and the matter of going down the mountain to experience it, the disciple has heard what the master and his old man have said. Hu Man'er replied quietly.

"Well, yes, it's true to go down the mountain to practice, but in addition, the old man has a few things for you to deal with, are you willing?" Wu Xiuyuan put away his smile and said.

"The disciple is a disciple in the view, so why do you want to say it or not. Let the Lord send it. Hu Man'er bent down and said respectfully.

"Well, good. The first of the three things that he did when he went down the mountain this time was the rules of the view, and the disciples must do good deeds and accumulate virtue on the day they succeed. Stabilize the heart of the Dao, for goodness, for the common people. The second thing is that there is news recently that there is a Cangshan Mountain near Tianfu County, and there is a deep gorge in the mountain, called Forget Worry Gorge. The demon clan seems to covet this canyon, and has frequently sent little demons to spy on it recently, for some reason. I need a few of you to go and find out. If it really happens, no matter what the monsters do, they must be stopped. This third thing is to go to the Qingyin Temple on my behalf, I have something and a letter for you to hand over to Master Chen. ”

Wu Xiuyuan said and took out a delicate wooden box from his arms. Handed it to Hu Man'er, he continued: "Inside the box is the heavy treasure glazed bowl of Qingyin Temple, which was lost in the Great War five hundred years ago. By the way, go through the experience. Barbarian, you must take good care of your life, and you must not lose anything. As he spoke, Wu Xiuyuan had already come to Hu Man'er's side, stretched out his hand and patted Hu Man'er on the shoulder.

"We?" Hu Man'er pointed to herself, and then to the four people behind Wu Xiuyuan.

"Well, it's the five of you, you usually only care about frolicking with Qing'er, and you don't know these leaders in our view. I would like to introduce you today. Wu Xiuyuan pretended to be slightly angry.

After saying that, he pointed to the first beautiful man and said, "This person is the closed disciple of your Crane Crane Senior Brother. His name is Zuo Liangqing, and he is the leader of the younger generation of our Lingxiao Temple, and I can rest assured that he is there this time. Wu Xiuyuan glanced at Zuo Liangqing behind him, smiled lightly, and a trace of pride crossed his face.

Although Hu Man'er is the younger generation of the younger generation, because he directly entered Wu Daozi's door, he inadvertently improved his seniority, and he was the same generation as the elder Guanzhong, so he was called Senior Brother Hebufan. When the juniors in the view saw him, they had to respectfully shout Uncle Xiao.

After introducing Zuo Liangqing, Hu Man'er would naturally take a few more glances at this bewitching man. As a result, Zuo Liangqing rolled his eyes, if it weren't for Wu Xiuyuan, the master, I am afraid that he would have drawn his sword and stabbed to death on the spot this little man who did not know how to be polite.

Immediately, Wu Daozi pointed to the other two men and said, "These two people are the disciples of Lang Qingfeng, your Lu Buwei Senior Brother Lu, and they are also one of the few disciples in our audience. And the two of them are brothers, named Zhang Chao and Zhang Hu. Your Senior Brother Lu is a martial artist who was born in practicing foreign martial arts, so the skills of Zhang Chao and Zhang Hu are also excellent. ”

Seeing Wu Daozi's introduction, the two hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and shouted in unison: "I'll wait for the two brothers to meet Uncle Xiao." ”

As soon as the little uncle spoke, Hu Man'er didn't know what to do, so he had to reply embarrassedly: "No...... There's no need to be polite, we are the same age, it's better to call me a brute, and it's always a little awkward to call Uncle Shi. ”

"Uncle Xiao can't, Master has taught us to respect teachers since we were young, and we must never lose the rules. Brother Zhang Chao hurriedly replied.

At this time, Hu Man'er didn't know what to say to alleviate the embarrassment, so he had to scratch his head and accept it happily.

Seeing that their greetings were over, Wu Xiuyuan pointed to the beautiful woman at the end and said, "The last one is your senior sister Su's disciple, named Lu Yanran." She is expected to become a good seedling of the Sword Immortal. That's why your senior sister is willing to give her famous sword Liangqiu to her most beloved apprentice. ”

When Hu Man'er heard this, she realized that the woman was holding an extraordinary-looking long sword in her hand. Not to mention the sword itself, even the scabbard faintly exudes a chilling momentum.

When the woman heard Wu Xiuyuan introduce herself, she withdrew her gaze and glanced at Hu Man'er, but she only nodded slightly and continued to look into the distance, not knowing what was so special about the horizon that made her so fascinated.

After Wu Xiuyuan finished his introduction, he ordered a few people to leave first to prepare for the descent a few days later. Only Hu Man'er was left.

Wu Xiuyuan paced to Hu Man'er's approach, stretched out his hand and touched his head, as if he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Huh? Why didn't Qing'er come with you? Isn't this girl still angry with me? It's not that the old man doesn't understand the accident, it's just that Wanqing is lazy by nature and doesn't practice well." The descent must be dangerous. If I insist on walking with you, I am afraid that it will hold you back. ”

Hu Man'er smiled awkwardly and responded: "The viewer is too worried, Qing'er is not a child anymore, she knows the severity, but she ...... It's just a little reluctant, a little worried. In the end, even Hu Man'er was a little red.

Wu Xiuyuan saw Hu Man'er laughing at this time, patted Hu Man'er on the shoulder, laughed loudly and scolded: "The female is not staying." Your son is going to marry my daughter in the future, but you must give me enough for the dowry. ”

Hu Man'er was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, but then Nuo Nuo replied: "That...... Contemplation ...... I don't have any money. After speaking, no matter what Wu Xiuyuan's expression was, he jumped out of the hall in three or two clicks.

Wu Xiuyuan was about to be arrested, how could he bear that Hu Man'er had already run away. I had to shake my head helplessly, and said to myself: "This kid is really likeable." Turning around and just about to leave, Wu Daozi walked out from behind the screen and said quietly: "Do you think it's safe to let Man'er go down the mountain by himself this time?"

Wu Xiuyuan restrained his smile when he heard this, and replied: "It should be okay, but how it is created depends on whether the wishes of the people are fulfilled on this day." I hope this kid has his own celestial phenomena. ”

"Hey...... If he has three long and two short, he ...... I still think this matter should be told to Qing'er. Wu Daozi paced to the table and sat down slowly.

"If Qing'er knows, she will definitely go down the mountain with him. What if something happens...... In my opinion, let's drag it first. Sooner or later, let her know. This time, I asked Man'er to go down the mountain to Qingyin Temple, do you know why?" Wu Xiuyuan stood with his hands in his hands, and his straight back looked a little depressed.

"Isn't it just to escort the glass bowl? Could it be ...... Are you trying to ......" Wu Daozi seemed to suddenly understand something. Suddenly looked up at Wu Xiuyuan and replied.

Wu Xiuyuan looked at his father and nodded firmly. No more to say.

The bright moon hangs high, and the mountain breeze sweeps slowly. Accompanied by insects and frogs, it lingers unbridledly.
