Chapter Seventy-Two: An Adventure by the River

He suddenly pulled out the sword in his hand and swung it, as if he wanted to spill all his thoughts through the sword, his posture was suddenly like a pine, suddenly like a willow, the sword light flashed, and the sword rain was one after another, moving with his figure.

"Okay, I won't see you for a few days, Brother Xiang's swordsmanship has improved greatly!" Ling'er clapped her hands with a smile.

Xiang Zhuang suddenly saw Ling'er standing under a peach tree, and the morning light reflected on her white face, which was even more glamorous.

"Ling'er, you're finally back...... I'm worried about you......" Surprised, he ran up and stretched out his arms to hug her tightly.

Ling'er snuggled in Xiang Zhuang's arms and said with a smile: "Didn't I come back well?"

Xiang Zhuang also smiled, as long as he saw Ling'er, his heart suddenly relaxed, at this moment, he was not a general who was about to fight, he was full of eyes only her.

"It's not the time to bloom, but it's blooming so well. Ling'er muttered.

"Since the flowers are blooming well, just enjoy the flowers, how beautiful!" After speaking, he picked a peach blossom hairpin and put it on Ling'er's hair, smiling and admiring.

Ling'er suddenly exclaimed, reached out to touch the hairpin on her head, and her fingers were stained with blood. It turned out that when the branch was broken, the peach branch had thorns, and the skin on the head was scratched. The flower branch fell to the ground, Ling'er looked at the blood on her fingers, and a faint uneasiness rose in her heart.

Xiang Zhuang's heart trembled at this exclamation, and he hurriedly picked up her fingers, wiped away the blood with a square towel, and blamed himself: "It's all my fault that hurt you." ”

"Brother Xiang......" Ling'er seemed to be afraid that he would disappear suddenly, and wrapped her arms tightly around Xiang Zhuang's waist.

"In this battle of Xiangcheng, Brother Yu slaughtered so many innocent people, I feel scared when I think about it now, you have to persuade him well, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, he is so cruel, what is the difference between him and the second, I am worried that you will encounter greater danger when you go." Ling'er said the worries in her heart in one breath.

"Ling'er, the eldest brother's slaughter of the city shocked the entire Central Plains, indeed. Xiang Zhuang gently stroked her hair soothingly, "Big brother is a little tyrannical by nature, this time I went with him to persuade him, but I may not be able to persuade him." ”

Suddenly, a gust of wind came, cold to the bone, and Xiang Zhuang tightly protected Ling'er in his arms.

The wind was so strong that it blew off a peach blossom tree in an instant, and there was no petal left on the branches.

Ling'er was excited, and said excitedly: "Brother Xiang, let's go find Yu Ji, Brother Yu listens to her the most." ”

Xiang Zhuang immediately clapped his hands in agreement.

At dawn, the cool mist gradually rises, and the clear sky is gone, and the waterways are gone.

Ling'er and Xiang Zhuang walked towards Yu Ji's horse ranch, passing by a river, only to see an old man in black clothes with tied hair sitting on the steps, the black cloak swaying in the cold and strong river breeze in the early morning, but he sat still.

He was holding a book in his hand and a cloth bag next to him, looking at Ling'er and Xiang Zhuang.

The old man's voice sounded: "Childe, please stay." ”

Xiang Zhuang was taken aback and said, "Is the senior calling me?"

The old man flipped through a book and said with a smile: "Exactly, the old man sees the son's good face and has a word to tell." ”

Xiang Zhuang and Ling'er stepped forward and glanced at the book he was flipping, and the words on the book were not even literate, neither seal script nor Qin characters.

Xiang Zhuang was even more curious, and said: "What kind of book did my predecessors turn over? Although I Xiang Zhuang is not a person who reads poetry and books, I still know most of the words in this world, but you have never seen the words on it, what is it?"

The old man smiled and said, "This is not a book in the world, how can you have seen it?"

Ling'er also smiled: "The predecessors are really good at joking, if it's not a book in the world, what is it?"

The old man looked at her and said, "Don't you know that there are six realms in this world, the fairy world, the demon world, the god world, the underworld, the demon world, the human world, the books of the world, the books of heaven, and the books of ghosts." ”

Xiang Zhuang said: "What kind of book are you?"

The old man said: "Ghost book?" Xiang Zhuang said: "Why did the people of the underworld come here?"

The old man said: "You came out early, it's not that I shouldn't have come, all the officials in the underworld are the affairs of the living, can the people not walk in the dark? ”

Xiang Zhuang said: "I don't know what my predecessors want to say to me, and what are they in charge of?"

The old man said: "The son is a man with lofty ideals, but I am afraid that his future career will only be a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water." ”

Ling'er smiled: "Seniors are probably alarmist?"

The old man said angrily: "You are also a person who has practiced for thousands of years, don't you still believe in the Mandate of Heaven?"

Ling'er shook her head: "Life only accounts for three points, life is not in the sky, but in one's own cultivation." ”

The old man turned his anger into joy and laughed: "The old man made a bet to you, if you can change this son's fate in the future, the old man will ask God to complete your marriage." ”

Ling'er smiled: "Could it be that the old man is the old man in charge of marriage?"

"Exactly. The old man said.

Ling'er was interested, her face flushed slightly, and she asked shyly: "Since you are in charge of marriage, then you can show us!"

The old man smiled: "The girl's marriage is complicated, but the old man has already made a bet for you, as long as you do it, the old man will try his best to fulfill the girl's wishes." It's just that some are destined, it is difficult to change, if the fate is together, even if it is the enemy's house, or the disparity between the high and the low, or the end of the world, or one in the south of the Yangtze River, and the other in the north of the river, as long as there is fate, you can't escape, if the fate is not compatible, although you do everything possible to pursue it, it will not succeed. ”

"In this life, in this life, in this life, in this life, I just want to be with Ling'er and ask my predecessors to be fulfilled?" Xiang Zhuang sincerely requested.

The old man pinched his son and sighed: "Fate has its own destiny, and the son should obey his fate." ”

Ling'er looked up at Xiang Zhuang and said, "As long as we are happy, I don't believe this old man's words." ”

Ling'er saw the cloth bag next to Yue Lao and asked, "Where did you put it?"

Yue Lao said: "It's a red rope, secretly tied to everyone's feet, and the two who are tied are destined to be together." ”

Ling'er blinked and said with a sly smile: "Can Yue Lao tell us if the red rope of the two is together?"

Yue Lao said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, he will know it one day." ”

Ling'er's face sank, and said, "You Yue Lao obviously know, if you don't say it today, don't blame the sword in my hand for not sparing you?"

Yue Lao was shocked, only to know that her magic power was profound, and he was a little frightened in his heart, and said: "The girl returned my cloth bag, if the red rope is in the girl's hands, the marriage in the world will be chaotic." ”

Xiang Zhuang said: "Ling'er, don't mess around, return it to Yue Lao!"

Ling'er Yingying smiled and said, "What do I want you to do with this broken bag, as long as you tie the red rope between me and Brother Xiang, I will return it to you." ”

Yue Lao frowned, as if he was thinking of something.
