Chapter Eighty-Six, Where the Fountain Is
Men in the world should have great ambitions, great landscapes, great martial arts, and great demeanor, look at thousands of sails, establish eternal life, and expand boundless careers.
However, there seems to be nothing wrong with dying generously for the sake of a woman.
Can you abandon one person for ten thousand?
If you don't guard one person, you can guard the country?
The world is not worth it, but there is one person who is worth it.
"A passer-by in the world, crazy once, it's once!" After Jiang Hu said this, the whole person was majestic, and he felt that a warm blood was lingering in his heart, which was almost the most domineering sentence he said when he walked the rivers and lakes. When quotes, precipitate the heart. Or with a stroke of a pen, write on rice paper, put it in the study, frame it with ivory wood, and sometimes warn yourself how to live.
Qiu Luoluo revealed his true feelings to Jiang Hu, but he was not moved, and sneered.
He is a toad who wants to eat swan meat, thinks far, wants to be beautiful, but he is afraid that he will live up to it.
Because Qiu Luoluo danced with the immortals in the sky, he never thought that one day, he would come to the ground and touch these toads.
"The rivers and lakes are up, and their people are down, the rivers and lakes are on the left, and their people are on the right. For a while in life, the grass and trees are autumn, the plants and trees are withered and prosperous, and people have bitterness and happiness. Qiu Luoluo smiled slightly, "We should live for ourselves, and the things behind us should be covered with soil and left for others to say." ”
Xiao Yanque held the reins of the horse, the horse refused to take a step forward, she showed a sad face, "Miss, look at it, the horse is not leaving, I am afraid that in this mountain forest, it is really strange." ”
"Don't be afraid, I have my own way to deal with such animals. Jiang Hu stepped forward with a smile, tore off two ribbons from his waist, blindfolded the horse, and then led the horse, and the horse really left.
"When you are blindfolded, you don't know where the road is going, and you ignore the danger. You're deceiving the horse!!" snorted.
"Fear is the source of the coward's stoppage, and only when fear is invisible can we move forward. There is often only one step, or half a step, half a finger, and half an eyelid between victory and defeat!" Jiang Hu retorted.
"Don't talk about these useless truths here, instigating!" Xiao Yanque blushed angrily and shouted, "I'll say ugly things in front, if our young lady is missing a hair and scratches a little skin, I'm afraid that your entire Longxiang will be used for burial, and it won't be enough." ”
Jiang Hu moved his lips silently, didn't know how to answer, simply didn't speak, was stunned, and said in his heart:
"You little girl, who is making a big fuss? Hmm? My Longxiang, starting from the first generation of the family, has made a fortune for at least a hundred years. The family is big and the business is big, and it can be compared with the ordinary family, and now there are our disciples everywhere in the rivers and lakes, not 8,000, but 10,000. If it weren't for Miss Luoluo's face today, I would have to fight with you for a result. ”
"Why don't you speak?" Xiao Yanque shouted at Jiang Hu.
Jiang Hu straightened his hair, touched the minibus, and said with a calm smile: "Xiao Yanque, you don't need to worry, as long as I, Jiang Hu, am here, I guarantee that Miss Luo Luo will not be hurt in the slightest." ”
"Your assurances are useless. Xiao Yanque pouted and disdainfully, "Your three-legged cat's ability can't even reach one-third of mine, and it's even more different from our young lady!"
Jiang Hu couldn't say it again, his martial arts were indeed hard injuries, but it was definitely not as unbearable as Xiao Yanque said, he didn't dare to call himself a first-class master, there must be a second-rate, and it was more than enough to deal with the small role of ordinary robbers.
Qiu Luoluo heard the two men arguing and led the horse away.
Stepping into the gate of the old forest is like crossing the middle line of two time and space, one is the bright world, and the other is the dark forest.
The canopy of trees that shades the sky and the sun blocks the sun, and the thorny thorns all over the body plan the path.
Wild grass and bulging roots filled the cracks in the woods. Moss circles around the ancient trees, and vines stretch from tree to tree.
The ancient trees here are difficult for one person to embrace.
The air here emits the smell of rotting leaves, as if it is the deep breath of this thousand-year-old forest.
Qiu Luoluo walked along the quiet road, walking about dozens of steps, dark, so that her eyes converged, and she couldn't see the path of the end at a glance, and she didn't know where the end was.
If you are a lone horse, you will definitely tremble, and you will be reluctant to walk this death-like silent road, even if you have a valley in your heart and are fearless.
What a monstrous force of nature, what a small human being.
Qiu Luoluo wandered under an endless majesty, and his body was tightly bound.
Jiang Hu and Xiao Yanque talked and walked, and then arrived.
The three of them, leading three horses, walked together into the depths of the woods.
There is a natural damp atmosphere in the old forest, and the mist floats in the air.
The clammy cold hits people's clothes, burrows into the cracks of silk, touches people's skin, and there is a kind of late autumn coolness faintly coming.
Xiao Yanque hugged his shivering shoulders, vigilantly checking the surrounding situation, maybe he was defending something, but nothing appeared. Suddenly, he asked, "Jiang Hu, do you know the location of the seven springs?"
"Where the spring is, the forest is deep and the grass is dense. Jiang Hu said in a grand manner, "Actually, Miss Yanque, I can't answer your question, to find the spring is tantamount to, in the woods, to find a wrench I lost." ”
Xiao Yanque knew that she had asked a word of nonsense, rolled her eyes at Jiang Hu, and said no more.
Qiu Luoluo was silent, and walked forward quietly, wherever the road led her, she went, seemingly aimlessly.
But she is not a thoughtless person.
As long as the seven springs are real, the heavens will inevitably give her the guidance of the dark, and she will find a clue among the countless plants and trees in the dense forest, and the truth will be bound at one end.
The three of them had walked for a long time, and the concept of time was blurred in the forest, and it was impossible to tell whether it was afternoon or evening, and the shadows surrounded them. The strange thing about the old forest is that the grass is deep and dense, and then there is the same scene, walking through the tree, or the tree, this tree, this tree, this tree, it looks too similar to the other one, passing by the grass, or the grass, this meadow, as high as another meadow.
Countless little beasts, they were, pines, hares, rats, snakes, etc., foraging in the bushes, and flocks of birds chirping in the sky.
No matter where the night is, it is bound to come, and that is when Lao Lin is the most active.
Fireflies are a sign of the arrival of the night, they twinkle in the grass like stars, animals riot en masse at night, and colder air clings to people's skin, which is a natural instinct.
The three of them rarely spoke, neither hungry nor thirsty, and each had his own ideas.
The night gradually fell into the dark.
The light of fireflies emerges from the darkness one by one.
The white horse flicked its tail and bounced away the fireflies lying on its buttocks. A beam of light, like a lonely meteor, fell into the meadow, flickering and disappearing.
Qiu Luoluo's ears heard the sound of the wind, the sound of the wind was always there, the leaves rustled, the grass was rustling, and the stream was murmuring.
"That's the voice. Qiu Luoluo suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse, and the horse's legs straightened. Surprised, he asked, "Did you hear?"
Jiang Hu was on horseback, straightening his waist, looking around, his ears pricked up, and he looked surprised, "Miss Luoluo, what is the sound? Could it be the voice of a fierce beast, that is a group of desperate guys?"
Xiao Yanque was also confused, and pulled out the soft sword, "Miss, are you hallucinating?"
"It's the sound of water. Qiu Luoluo said excitedly.
"Oh, the sound of water!" Jiang Hu snorted, "Is the girl thirsty, do you want me to go to the neighborhood and get some water for the girl?"
"Why don't you go quickly?" Xiao Yanque urged.
"Trees have roots, water has sources, this is the explanation given to us by God!"
Qiu Luoluo jumped off the horse and discerned the direction of the sound of running water.
There was a sudden glaring under his feet, his body rose lightly, and he activated the light skill of Flying Bird Lingbo. She first clinged to one tree, grabbed the vine, and then flew to another, tossing and turning from tree to tree, and in the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared from the eyes of the two.
Words came to the ears of the two from afar:
"The place where the spring is, it must have something to do with the water source, there is a stream near here, let's go and see. ”
When Jiang Hu was dumbfounded by Qiu Luoluo's light skills, Xiao Yanque also performed light skills, patted the horse's back with both hands, and shouted, go!
The butt jumped up from the horse's back, followed Qiu Luoluo's trajectory, and swept away.
When it was Jiang Hu's turn, he shook his head, slowly dismounted, looked at the direction in which the two disappeared, and sighed. Plunged headlong into the grass, slamming a path between the bushes and thorns, and the speed was unexpectedly unstoppable. When I looked up, I caught a glimpse of two figures flying in the air.
Qiu Luoluo is a few zhang away, if it is not too dense between trees and restricted movements, she jumps at least ten zhang, climbs the rock and walks the wall, such as walking on the ground, light achievements, more than many strong people in the world.
Xiao Yanque followed closely behind, and it really took a lot of effort.
The two of them caught a glimpse of a silver ribbon diving into the black surface, and when they got closer, it turned out to be a winding brook glowing with white moonlight, where the woods had cracked a crevice, parted on both sides, and distributed along the stream, the barren grass turned into moss, and the ground was covered with round stones of different sizes.
Qiu Luoluo jumped down, came to the stream, first looked at the direction of the water, and then approached the stream, and saw the beautiful faces reflected in the water.
Xiao Yanque ran panting, this was almost to her limit, and the two of them were at least in the air, spanning several miles.
"Little Yanque. I have a hunch. Qiu Luoluo bent down, gently brushed away the fallen leaves on the stream with his little hand, held a round of crooked moonlight, drank it sweetly, and continued. "Seven wonderful springs, which do not come out of thin air, are above this stream. ”
Xiao Yanque nodded, the spring is more connected to the waterway, and the waterway has turned into a stream, this reason makes sense.
Jiang Hu came from behind, embarrassed, bounced off the dead leaves on his shoulders, and said with a smile, "Miss Luoluo, your light skills are so good, let me catch up!"
Qiu Luoluo pointed to the source of the water source and said, "Master Jiang Hu, do you think there are any high mountains in the Seven Springs Old Forest?"
Jiang Hu shook his head, "There is no mountain, this is a slope, you can see it from the road we have walked." ”
Qiu Luoluo asked again, "Big Worm Ridge, is there a mountain?"
"Big Worm Ridge, there are mountains, not high. ”
"The Great Worm Ridge is in the south, and the stream flows from west to east, where does this water come from? ”
"Spring water!" Jiang Hu patted his head and suddenly realized, "Why am I so stupid, I didn't expect such a simple truth, or Miss Luo Luo is smart, you are right, there is no water source without mountains, and the water source here is spring water!"
So the three of them walked up the stream for about three or four hours.
In the middle of the night, when the beasts were active, they met two beasts without thinking.
They are a young leopard and an aging gray wolf.
The leopard crawled on the big tree and launched an attack on Xiao Yan Que, and as soon as his body appeared, he was solved by Xiao Yan Que with a sword.
Then, they had an encounter with an old wolf in the river, and after the confrontation, the old wolf felt that there were too many people on the other side, and fled with his tail between his legs.
When they came to the source of the stream, they were exhausted.
At the source, there is a lot of rocks, it is a clearing, there is no vegetation, there is a spring, the spring is in a huge stone. Gutu bubbling clear cold water, around the spring, is a small pool, more than ten zhang square, the small pool has a gap, the water flows out, become the news, a pool of water, not deep, the water surface is clear, there are fish inhabiting under the water. You can see the sparse shadow of the big fish swimming in the moonlight.
Xiao Yanque looked at a spring, and secretly rejoiced: "Miss, you see, there is only one mountain spring, and it is not a legend, bubbling with yellow liquid. Explain that there are no seven springs here, which is fake. ”
Qiu Luoluo didn't think so, didn't want to give up, squatted in front of the pond, and said: "This spring, coming out of the boulder, is very strange, maybe, there is a mystery hidden in it, since you have found here, if you don't find out what is going on, how can you feel at ease?"
Jiang Hu said with a smile on the side, "Then I'll go down and split the boulder, so that Miss Luo Luo can see it." ”
"Jiang Hu is in charge, how can the boulder be split, please take a look around, can you find it?"
Jiang Feng, Lin Xing, and Langliu left Stone City in a hurry after breakfast.
They said goodbye to Wang Yan first, Wang Yan's injuries were almost healed, and he refused to go with the three of them, planning to go directly to Dongqiu to have a look, after all, it was their business to deal with the Demon Yan Sect, why should Wang Yan step on it more, Lu Qianyu would never force it, he always felt that although the world was big, there would be a period with Wang Yan, and he didn't know when he would meet again.
After bidding farewell to Wang Yan, the three of them bought a pair of clothes in the clothes shop, and the previous one was tattered and damaged their image.
Lu Qianyu and Lin Xing, wearing a white robe, there is a slight gap in the embroidery on the chest, Lu Qianyu is an elk, Langliu is a goshawk, Langliu is still the same, sloppy and sloppy, like a hunter, when the three of them set off, it was already morning.
Out of the city, step on the path, and follow the route of the Wulin League.
The people of the Wulin League set off overnight, walking through the pipeline, naturally fast, leaving many traces, they were gathering in the direction of the Lianheng faction and the strong men of the Huiji faction, and where they were, Lu Qianyu didn't know.
Lu Qianyu and the three of them ran for a whole day, eating some wild fruits when they were hungry, and looking for streams or springs when they were thirsty.
There were few stars in the sky, the burning clouds lost their brilliance, and the evening descended on the quiet earth, Xiao Suo spread all over the world, standing straight on the official road, looking intently into the distance, a fiery tea shed, the lights fluttering on the side of the road.
"It's really pitiful for the rivers and lakes, I'm waiting!" the waves shook the empty gourd and ran over like a dog.
