Chapter 16, looking northwest at Chang'an
Cultivation is more than just practice.
The world is a chaotic world.
Immortals and demons are different, the mortal world is crisscrossed, although it is not a long exchange, but there is also a connection, under the collision and friction exchange, all kinds of wonderful and interesting things will happen during the exchange, and the chain influence and the mixture of time will gradually evolve into their own different schools of life.
Naturally, it was impossible to explain all of this in only half a month, so Chu Zhanyan just picked out some major things to say to Fang Jingya, and let her know more about the outside as much as possible, which was very important.
Yan Hao's side was much more rude, because Chu Zhanyan didn't plan to teach him anything at all, and the well water was full.
At the beginning, the swarthy boy resisted desperately, calling Chu Zhanyan crazy, but he was really not an opponent, and he couldn't run away when he hid under the pigsty and grass nest.
Maybe he will take the initiative after being forced for a long time, and slowly Yan Hao was surprised to find that he would not catch a cold when he got soaked in such a cold day, not only was he refreshed, but the whole person was in surprisingly good condition, and he didn't feel unbearable to help his father hit the iron stove to start, and finally he didn't wait for Chu Zhanyan to call, three times a day, and jumped into the well on time before eating......
Time spent in this kind of learning and preaching, between sunrise and sunset, the swarthy boy was as usual, but the careful Fang Jingya gradually noticed some subtle information from the boy's demeanor, because he always unconsciously said something inconsequential, such as whether the last two acres of young leaves in the tea field have been picked yet, Uncle Yan's work is not much, the weather is cold again, how is the progress of the realm, etc.
The boy is not a man of many words.
But he's been talking a lot lately.
So one afternoon, Chu Zhanyan was finally blocked by the girl in the irrigation canal by the Zhaikou stream, and forced him to explain clearly, the figure next to the sparkling waterwheel was very domineering, and the words he said also had a bit of a taste of asking the teacher.
"Say, are you hiding something from me?"
“......”
Looking at the delicate girl in front of him who crossed his waist and didn't let him go, Chu Zhanyan was a little helpless, secretly thinking that he had really been down the mountain for too long, and he couldn't even do the most basic Mingxin, and he would actually be seen by a little girl who was abnormal.
"What can I hide from you?"
He laughed, this girl was too sensitive.
"Anyway, you just have something on your mind!"
Fang Jingya couldn't think of a specific one, and she didn't know what to say in a hurry, so she could only stare at him and not give up.
Chu Zhanyan was slightly silent, the girl's words inadvertently touched the secret in his heart, and there was a dull pain in his chest, he inadvertently looked at the gurgling stream, silently thinking that everyone has something on his mind, I just can't tell you......
Seeing that the young man was silent, Fang Jingya's face was a little ugly, she pursed her lips, and suddenly raised her face and asked,
"You're leaving, aren't you?"
"Huh?"
Chu Zhanyan was stunned, thinking to himself how she could see it?
Looking at his expression, Fang Jingya knew that her guess was right, although she had been mentally prepared for a long time, she still felt the tip of her nose sour at this moment, she rubbed her eyes and muttered,
"You were originally a guest of Lijiazhai, and you have to leave sooner or later, but two years is too long, so long that I will always forget this, thinking that you are the person here, my mother, Yan Hao, and Uncle Fang are also like this. ”
"Maybe it's habit. ”
Chu Zhanyan smiled bitterly, how could he not hear the reluctance in the girl's words, besides, he was the same.
Most of the cultivators are ruthless in order to seek a higher realm, and they cut off their love for each other with cause and effect, but he doesn't want to do that, so the young man once said that the scenery on the mountain is not beautiful.
"When, exactly?"
Fang Jingya asked, staring into his eyes.
She often reads stories in books, for fear that Chu Zhanyan will be the person who says goodbye to it.
"Tomorrow after the rooster crows. ”
The boy's voice was soft, as if it could be blown away by the wind.
"Good. ”
Fang Jingya nodded,
"Yan Hao and I will send you off when we fall, don't call anyone else. ”
After saying that, she turned around and wanted to leave, but after two steps, she turned back and glared at him,
"Okay, don't go first, or I'll go to Tianshan to find you and scratch your face!"
At the end of the words, she didn't forget to open her hand to make a scratching motion, she knew that Chu Zhanyan was a disciple of Tianshan Mountain, because Huo Sheng was an idle funnel.
Looking at the girl's childish threat, Chu Zhanyan only felt that there was some warmth in his chest, so he nodded in response,
"Okay, wait for you, don't cheat. ”
The tone is a bit of a child.
"Don't you dare to wait for me!"
Fang Jingya waved her fist and ran away.
On this day, Chu Zhanyan never saw her shadow again......
There is no request to accompany me to go shopping, and there are no sour words, Fang Jing Yajue's is too pretentious, like the plot in the story, the farewell of the immortal should not be like this, she wants to be the strongest female sword immortal, and she must be free and easy to say goodbye.
————
On the second day, when the belly of the fish was white, the first rooster crow sounded in the cold mist of Lijiazhai.
Chu Zhanyan stood at the entrance of the village, still wearing the same white shirt, carrying his hands behind his back, without any luggage, only a cat lying on his shoulder.
Huo Sheng stood beside him, in a gold-patterned white robe, with a long sword on his back, like an unborn swordsman.
The hour is still early, and the future is coming.
The mist floated and melted quietly, the breeze blew, and the corners of the boy's clothes turned over reluctantly......
Huo Sheng saw this scene, looked sideways at him, and asked,
"How long have you been wearing this?"
Chu Zhanyan was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the sky and replied,
"I haven't changed it since I came down from above, I'm not used to wearing other people's, Lijiazhai is not rich, the new clothes are too fancy, and I can't ask for it. ”
"Two years, what if it's dirty?"
Huo Sheng felt a little incredible, he really couldn't imagine the feeling of wearing a piece of clothing for two years, he was itchy when he thought about it, not to mention that it was a burlap rough material.
"It's dirty, wash it. ”
Chu Zhanyan looked at him like an idiot, thinking to himself why are you not as good as a mortal.
"It's unimaginable. ”
Huo Sheng shook his head, thinking to himself, why are you so miserable, I just threw it away and replaced it.
"If you wash this piece of paper, you can probably ask for food, and when you get to the crowded city and town, buy a new set. ”
He said that he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, and secretly sighed that it was really a pity that the rookie of Tianshan had fallen to this point.
"Have you figured out where to go?"
Chu Zhanyan asked, he didn't have any destination, so he wanted to see Huo Sheng's ideas.
"What? I thought you had a goal. ”
Huo Sheng looked at him in amazement, thinking that when he asked you when you were leaving half a month ago, didn't he answer very happily?
"I haven't been down much, how do I know where to go?"
Chu Zhanyan rolled his eyes and secretly scolded this guy for being stupid, he would ask him if he wanted to know where to go?
He stayed in Lijiazhai for more than two years, but he recuperated in the first year, repaired and meditated in the second year, and only ran through Luxian County when selling tea, which was only more than ten miles.
"Then go north!"
Huo Sheng's eyes lit up, as if a pride was born out of thin air,
"The mirror said that the origin of the disaster is over there, and the imperial capital Chang'an is also in the north, I heard that the most prosperous place in the world is the foot of the emperor Lao Tzu, it must be interesting, where we go, just to see and see!"
"It's really a choice that fits your temperament. ”
Chu Zhanyan secretly shook his head and sighed, this guy, no matter where he goes, he is a lord who is unwilling to be lonely, Chang'an? Where to go to take a look, I heard that Chang'an honey twist is a major feature, and there is a beautiful street lined up in green buildings, Xiaoxiang red leaves and sheng songs, bead curtains half-hide jade and slippery, it is a world-famous wonder, it is said that there are many cultivators lingering there, and the name is even more fueled by the pen of some literati and ink writers, so that he has heard of it even in the mountains......
The black cat on his shoulder suddenly barked, interrupting his reverie.
Chu Zhanyan looked up and found that two small figures appeared along the side of the stream, and when they got closer, they recognized that they were Fang Jingya and Yan Hao.
"Chu Zhanyan, do you really want to leave?"
The swarthy boy shouted loudly from afar, he only learned the news this morning, and he almost knocked his father on the head when he went out, and he didn't look back to explain how he called in the back, for fear that he would be late.
"Well, sorry for not telling you sooner. ”
Chu Zhanyan lightly hammered his shoulder, and found that this guy was really a lot stronger, like a leather drum.
"You're just leaving, what do I want you to do in the future?"
Knowing the exact news, the last vestiges of illusion in the swarthy young man's heart burst like a bubble, thinking of the boring days in the future, he actually grinned and cried, howling like a donkey.
"Hey, don't cry, what kind of man are you crying, you will be an adult in two years, what is there to see in life since ancient times?"
Chu Zhanyan was helpless for a while, and he couldn't cry or laugh a little, so he had to pat him on the shoulder and comfort,
"Okay, don't you always say that you want to be a general? After the general, you will charge and die on the battlefield, don't talk about separation, it is common for brothers to live and die, so it will be sad, and what will you do in the future? Don't you cry to death and howl to death? When the drum is draped, you still put two snots on it, and it's not a shame to be ashamed.
Besides, as long as I'm alive, we will always have a chance to meet, and in the future, don't always stay in Lijiazhai and go out for a walk, maybe one day you will be in a red robe, and when I take the five-flowered horse to find the street, I will come down from the clouds with a thunderbolt to celebrate with you, you know, I am a cultivator, and I am very capable......"
It's good to say, even the abduction and weaving dreams have calmed down the emotions of the swarthy young man, Huo Sheng looked at Zhile from the side, and felt that this black charcoal head had a really good life, it was really interesting.
Fang Jingya didn't open her mouth from beginning to end, and when she saw that Yan Hao's emotions finally stabilized, she watched Chu Zhanyan speak softly,
"I will stay in Lijiazhai for a while, and when I have passed the Nine Realms, I will go outside to have a look. ”
The girl's eyes were hazy, and the morning breeze disturbed her brows, and she pulled a strand of hair that reached her forehead behind her ear, showed a touching smile, and said,
"Yan Hao, this guy wants to be a general, and I want to be the only female sword fairy in this world, when it's done, I'll go to you!"
As soon as the words fell, the morning was silent, Huo Sheng shook his head secretly, thinking to himself, the peach blossoms are planted, you kid can look at this fruit yourself......
