Chapter 7 "The River Flows"
Not far north of Lotus Village is a small hill that is littered with rocks and overgrown with weeds. In some places, the weeds are more than three feet high, and it can be seen that there are few pedestrians.
Just under a haystack, a stone slab was overturned. There were many people crawling out of it in turn, both adults and children. These people are Chen Hai and his sworn brothers, as well as some servants including Uncle Li.
A group of people crawled out in disgrace and were slapping the dust off their bodies. Looking back, in the distant sky, the dark sun was particularly eye-catching. Everyone looked at the big black ball floating in the air in a daze, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
Suddenly, Huang Zixuan shouted: "Look!
Everyone looked down the hillside, and the place where Lotus Village was originally located was already a sea of fire.
Lu Zhanwei looked at the sea of fire and muttered, "Where are there still villages, they are all burned down." ”
The younger children were so frightened by this scene that they cried. After crying for a while, they saw what happened next.
The black sun had cracked a hole in the massive explosion. A lightning dragon flew out like an arrow. From afar, only a ray of thunder could be seen. Five dark shadows flashed near the entrance of the cave, chasing in the direction that the brontosaurus flew away.
Soon after, the blontzron disappeared into the sky, as if it was about to shatter, and the heavens and the earth twisted together, tearing the horizon apart. There was clearly a fierce fight there.
Lei Jinghong said: "Fang is my father who is controlling the thunder dragon, and our father and mother are on it!
The other children also clamored to find their parents. A handful of servants stopped in front of the children and did not let them go.
The servant at the head said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please leave with me." This is something that your father and mother have asked us to do, and we must do it. That's not a struggle you can participate in, leaving is the greatest help for your parents!"
Lu Zhanwei hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. He was almost an adult, and he understood very well what the old servant said.
He turned around and said to everyone: "Brothers, listen to me, we are not here, and our father and mother can fight the enemy with peace of mind." When the bad guys are defeated, Daddy will come back to us. Listen to me, and everyone leaves. ”
Zixuan asked, "Who is Daddy fighting with?"
Lu Zhanwei replied: "I don't know, but when we grow up and have achieved cultivation, we will naturally know, and then we can help our father and mother fight the bad guys." What we have to do now is to listen to our parents. ”
After all, it is the backbone of the children, and under the comfort of Lu Zhanwei, everyone is willing to leave.
Zhou Chenhai asked, "Viagra, are we going together?"
Lu Zhanwei smiled faintly and said, "Xiaohai, and everyone, I'm afraid we have to say goodbye here." In order not to let the bad guys find us, we have to go separately. ”
Zixuan shouted aggrievedly: "No, I don't want to go alone, I want to be with Viagra!" The others also echoed, unwilling to separate.
Lu Zhanwei was a little sad, and he was also reluctant in his heart.
Many of the past are vivid, everyone gathered together, hunted together, caught fish together, went to private school together, played tricks on the master together, and took the board together. Even if there is a fight, no matter how many people there are on the other side, they are all seven brothers. At all times, the three eldest children always protect the four younger ones.
Life was always fun. As long as they stay together, there is a lot of joy. Occasionally, there were some small awkwardness between each other, and within two days, they were reconciled. Laugh-hee-ha-ha, slapstick, laugh at life. It would be nice if such a heartless but troubleless day could go on forever.
What the boy's world has is direct, what it has is openness, laughing loudly when laughing, and crying unbridled when crying. At this moment of separation, they hugged together, as if they wanted to vent all their sorrows, cry all their worries and sorrows.
............
It was going to be night, and it was getting dark. A cold wind swept his cheeks with a drizzle. On the steep mountain road, an old man with an oil-paper umbrella was hurrying away, and that person was Uncle Li. Zhou Chenhai was lying on Uncle Li's back, presumably because he was tired of crying and had fallen asleep.
They had bypassed Enron City and drifted away. In front of you is a winding mountain road, and a hundred meters below is a wide river, the name of this river is the Sleepless River.
The Great River crosses the city of Enron and divides the ancient city into two parts, the southern city and the northern city. The scene on both sides of the strait is prosperous and lively. Every night, the river is brightly lit and colorful. Wealthy merchants and eunuchs either drank and had fun on the shore, or took a cruise to watch the wind and moon. In this sleepless night, indulge in sensuality, singing night after night, never stopping. Hence the origin of the sleepless river.
The sleepless river is as wide as 100 zhang, the depth is bottomless, the waves on the river are turbulent, and the strange rocks on both sides of the river are craggy. The rolling river is like a galloping of thousands of horses, flowing to the east mightily, which is very spectacular. But at this time, Uncle Li was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery of the river, so he just hurried away in a muffled voice.
The drizzle made the mountain road a little blurry. I vaguely heard a voice calling: "Hey, big brother, it's good, save my old woman!"
Zhou Chenhai, who was lying on Uncle Li's back, was awakened by this voice, rubbed his hazy eyes, raised his head and asked, "Grandpa Li, what's wrong ahead?" ”
Uncle Li looked in the direction where the voice came from, and found an old woman about his age lying on the side of the road, who seemed to be bleeding from her right leg and looked seriously injured.
Uncle Li approached the old woman, stopped when he was about to walk in front of her, and asked, "Is there anything you need the old man to serve?"
The old woman replied, "I came from a small mountain village and wanted to go to the city of Enron, but I never thought that I would trip over the gravel and scratch my leg, and I could not walk. Big brother is fine, please give me a ride. ”
Zhou Chenhai was young and kind-hearted, and he said to Uncle Li: "Grandpa Li, why don't we send grandma a while." She couldn't walk alone, which was quite inconvenient. ”
Uncle Li nodded, and said to the old woman: "We have to go forward, not back to Anran City, there is an inn about three miles ahead, we will send you there to rest, do you think?"
When the old woman heard this, she replied, "Of course you can, thank you so much, the old body can't repay it." ”
Uncle Li said: "It's not that you can't repay it, take your life to repay it!"
With that, with a wave of his left hand, three flying knives shot out, and the knives were aimed at the old woman's vital point!
The old woman suddenly seemed to be a different person, swept away the appearance of the old dragon clock, and leaned to the side, dodging the three flying knives.
After all, the knife came too suddenly, and a knife slashed the old woman's cheek, and a mask as soft as skin fell off her face, revealing half of her miserable face!
"Ahh
The man simply tore off the mask, revealing his entire face, which turned out to be a man with terrifyingly white skin.
He asked, "I'm quite confident in my disguise, old man, how did you find out?"
The voice is deep, and it is completely a man's voice.
Uncle Li sneered: "I really didn't see that you were disguised. But you said you were from a small village, and you were going to the city of Enron, passing through here. This mountain road extends from the ancient city, and there are no forks in the road within a hundred miles, let alone villages. An old woman walked hundreds of miles to Anran City, you have such good bones!"
"I said that I would take you to the inn three miles ahead, and you promised that if you really came along this road, you must know that there is no inn three miles ahead. Although the old man is old, he is not confused!"
The man said, "The old thing is so cunning. Hand it over, you know what I want. Hand over the things, uncle, I can leave you a whole corpse!"
Uncle Li said to Chen Hai on his back: "Xiaohai, you remember. It is true that human nature is good, but we must have the ability to distinguish between good and evil, and distinguish between right and wrong. Treat the good with kindness, and the wicked, fight evil with evil!"
The man said, "The old thing really doesn't want to live anymore! Lao Tzu took your dog's life and it's not too late to find the ghost seal!" With that, the man took out a slender scimitar from his waist and attacked Uncle Li.
Seeing that the man was about to bully him, Uncle Li threw his arms back, and Zhou Chenhai broke away from Uncle Li's back and fell lightly into the grass on the side of the road. And Uncle Li already has two more daggers in his hand.
The man swung his knife and slashed at Uncle Li's waist, and the blade carried a dazzling flame.
In an instant, Uncle Li turned to the left. The right foot took a sharp step forward, the left dagger intersected with the man's scimitar, and the origin true qi flowing from the arm shook the flames!
The man avoided it and fell backwards, the blade still cutting through the man's skin. Uncle Li's right dagger and scimitar struck, continued to resist the scimitar, took advantage of the momentum to turn, the left dagger wheel crossed, and then cut the man's neck. The man finally couldn't hold it anymore and withdrew his knife and flew upside down.
Uncle Li hurriedly pursued, attacking with daggers left and right, and the man returned his knife to resist. All of a sudden, the sonorous sound of the weapons clashing was endless.
The man was forced to retreat step by step by Uncle Li's fast attack, and after a few rounds, the man was gradually at a disadvantage.
Seeing that this continues, the man will be defeated sooner or later. saw that the man's right hand suddenly pulled out a dart from his body, and took advantage of the gap to block Uncle Li's attack, and shot the dart into the grass pile where he was lying just now.
Two colorful centipedes pop out of where the darts were shot. They each flew towards Uncle Li and Zhou Chenhai.
"Xiaohai!" Uncle Li shouted, and the left dagger was thrown out, hitting the centipede's head, and the right dagger slashed, splitting another centipede flying towards him.
However, before he could come back to his senses, Uncle Li felt a chill in his waist. The man's scimitar had already pierced Uncle Li's body.
The man smiled wickedly and said, "The old thing is very powerful, and the people under the Seven Masters of the Heavenly Dao Palace actually have two brushes. Luckily, I kept my hand back. Go to Bliss today!"
As he spoke, he was about to pull the scimitar back, but suddenly he felt his wrist tighten, and an old hand clasped his wrist like a vice.
The man said fiercely, "The old guy still wants to struggle!
"Don't hurt Grandpa Li!" Zhou Chenhai shouted and ran towards the two.
Uncle Li yelled at Zhou Chenhai: "Don't come here!"
This roar stunned Zhou Chenhai in place.
Uncle Li's face was a little gloomy, he looked at the man, and said slowly: "When people are old, they will die after all." Just for that kid, I'm going to have to hold on a little longer and piggyback on you. ”
The man felt something was wrong and shouted, "What are you going to do, old fellow?
Uncle Li suddenly put force on his hand, his body pushed forward, and the whole scimitar passed through his body. He gritted his teeth and stabbed the dagger in his hand at the man in front of him. The man had no choice but to resist with his other hand, but Uncle Li's knife did not stop, and in the blink of an eye, the man had already been stabbed several times.
The man cried out in horror, "Stop!"
The blood flowed profusely, and the man's footsteps were a little vain, and he staggered back with Uncle Li.
Suddenly, the man did not have a steady foot, and fell from the 100-meter-high mountain wall path into the sleepless river below. Uncle Li, who was implicated, also fell.
Zhou Chenhai hurriedly ran to the side of the road and looked down, only to see Uncle Li hanging on the stone wall a few meters below with one hand. His face was pale, and the scimitar that pierced through his body shone with a cold light. The man had disappeared, presumably swept away by the river.
Zhou Chenhai said to Uncle Li in a panic: "Grandpa Li, you hold on, I, I'll find a way, find a way to pull you up!"
Uncle Li said: "Xiaohai, don't go, grandpa has something to say to you." ”
"Grandpa......"
Uncle Li said with difficulty: "Xiaohai, grandpa's cultivation is low, and he has no ability. You must be diligent in cultivating in the future, and you must not be like your grandfather today. Grandpa is sorry for you, sorry for your father, for not taking care of you. You will be alone in the future, and you must take care of it...... Yourself, to ...... Good...... Alive......"
"No, grandpa, come up quickly, I'll find a way to pull you up, I don't want to be alone, I don't want it. Zhou Chenhai said, his voice was already crying.
Uncle Li below had no strength, and as soon as he let go of his hand in a moment, he fell into the sleepless river, and the rolling river rushed by, and Uncle Li disappeared in an instant.
Zhou Chenhai on the side of the road wailed and cried, and his sadness and despair rushed like a flood bursting the embankment. He muttered to himself: "Grandpa, come up, I don't want it, I don't want it alone......"
The rain became heavier and heavier, and Zhou Chenhai was already soaked. Rain mixed with tears slid down his cheeks, and the world was like a picture scroll scattered in the rain, blurred.
Zhou Chenhai only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he was no longer conscious. said that they were masters and servants, more like grandfathers and grandchildren. One fainted and died on the side of the road, let the rain water it, and the other slept forever in this sleepless river.
