Chapter Eighty-Six: Borrowing Horses to Walk the Mountains and Rivers
Zhong Ming hurriedly explained to Yu Bai: "Miss Yu Bai, I'm afraid that there is a misunderstanding, I voluntarily lent my life to the little Taoist. β
Stunned, Yu Bai pulled Zhong Ming's sleeve and said in a low voice: "I think you have been deceived by these two demons, and the method of borrowing life is harmful to you and not beneficial......
"I know this, Miss Yu Bai, the misunderstanding is not clear in a word, I am really voluntary. β
Seeing that Zhong Ming was so resolute, Yu Bai snorted coldly and muttered: "Stubborn." β
Then Yu Bai turned around and walked out of the room, and the copper-colored giant sword circled around Zhong Ming, as if he hesitated for a moment, and disappeared into the ripples.
This Zhong Ming didn't have time to deal with Yu Bai, he quickly turned around and came to Zhang Daozhen's side and asked, "Old Dao, are you okay?"
Shaking his head, Zhang Daozhen coughed a few times in a low voice before saying: "I'm fine, it's just that the formation is backlash and I have some internal injuries, you go and see if the blood in the bronze lamp is burned out." β
Zhong Ming looked back at the two copper lamps again, and there was only a thin layer of blood left in them, but it was still not burned.
There was a little bitterness in his mouth, Zhong Ming frowned and said, "It's not burned, there are still some roots." β
"Destiny is like this!"
Zhang Daozhen looked up to the sky and sighed, probably pulling the wound, and he coughed up blood again.
Zhong Ming was also very worried, so he asked, "In that case, is this borrowing a success?"
"Cheng is done, but I only have ninety percent of my life hidden in your life, he still has a connection with Qianchen, and this Qianchen's true dragon national fortune can no longer be cut. β
His brows furrowed even tighter, and Zhong Ming asked again: "What will happen if this one is wrong?"
"It's not good to say about the poor road, but I can be sure that in the future, the fate of you and my disciples will be very bumpy, because this national fortune will be counted on the two of you. β
In this way, Zhong Ming was very upset, and blamed Yu Bai for doing the wrong thing with good intentions, but put him and Zhang Nianchen in a predicament.
Zhang Nianchen next to him felt even more guilty, and apologized to Zhong Ming again and again.
Zhong Ming waved his hand and said: "It's not your fault, it has nothing to do with you, you take care of Lao Dao first, and I'll go out to see Miss Yu Bai." β
Closing the door for the master and apprentice, Zhong Ming walked out of the Li family's courtyard.
As soon as I walked out of the Li family's courtyard, I saw four or five people standing in the Sun family's courtyard, Old Man Sun and Sun Luolian were there, and there were a few young men with missing teeth.
When Old Man Sun saw Zhong Ming, he hurriedly beckoned: "Xiao Zhong, I'm looking for you, there's another big incident on our side!"
It's really a wave of just flat and a wave, and Zhong Ming is also very bored in his heart.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "What's wrong?"
Old man Sun pointed to the southwest and said, "Xiao Zhong, look, is there an extra green mountain there?" β
Following Old Man Sun's fingers, Zhong Ming looked up into the distance, only to see that the barren hill was to the south, and a peak stood abruptly not far away.
The barren hill can only be regarded as a big soil slope, and the peak is the real mountain, the distance is very far, and you can only vaguely see that the mountain is very high, much higher than the big mountain in the Suiyun Mountain Range, straight up to the sky.
Looking at the green mountain, Zhong Ming frowned thoughtfully.
If Zhong Ming's guess is correct, then Qingshan is the spiritual vein that Yu Bai told him last night.
The spiritual vein was related to Bai Yujing's interests, Zhong Ming knew its importance, he looked at it for a while before turning back and said, "Uncle Sun, you tell the people in the village that no one can get close to that mountain, that mountain belongs to Bai Yujing." β
Hearing that it was something that the immortals wanted, Uncle Sun thought so, and hurriedly called the missing tooth and them to notify the people in the village to come to the courtyard to gather and inform.
Old man Sun rubbed his hands hesitantly, and said to Zhong Ming: "Just now I asked Missing Tooth and them to go to the hill to take a look, Missing Tooth said that the mountain is surrounded by fog, and there is nothing unusual in the village, if you get closer, you will see that the mountain is covered with clouds and mist, and you can't see clearly." β
After snorting several times, Old Man Sun continued: "No wonder that mountain looks so evil, it turned out to be made by the immortals. β
"Uncle Sun rest assured, as long as we don't get close, it's fine. β
After persuading Old Man Sun, Zhong Ming turned around and was about to go home, but he still remembered Yu Bai in his heart.
Seeing that Zhong Ming was leaving, Sun Luolian, who had been standing behind Old Man Sun, raised her hand and wanted to stop Zhong Ming.
When Zhong Ming entered the courtyard just now, Sun Luolian secretly looked at him, and the sorrow in his heart was written between his eyebrows, and his eyebrows were furrowed.
Since Yu Bai came to the village, Sun Luolian has not been happy, and she has not laughed for so many days.
I finally ran into Zhong Ming today, Sun Luolian gritted her teeth and thought to herself that she must ask Zhong Ming clearly.
After catching up with Zhong Ming in a few steps, Sun Luolian squeezed out a smile and shouted in a low voice: "Brother Zhong, where are you going?"
Turning his head to see Sun Luolian's smiling face, Zhong Ming's heart warmed, and the irritability in his heart was much less, and he replied: "I just had a misunderstanding with Miss Yu Bai, so I'll hurry up and find her, and I must explain it to her clearly." β
Hearing that she was looking for Yu Bai, Sun Luolian's smiling face froze, and she said in a low voice: "Oh, it's to find Miss Yu Bai......
Brother Zhong, Miss Yu Bai has been living in your house these days, and there are some gossips in the village, don't ruin your reputation. β
"And that kind of thing?"
Frowning and shaking his head, Zhong Ming secretly sighed that the people in the village just like to talk about some short things in the family, but he didn't take it to heart, so he said: "Go back and meet that group of sisters-in-law again, don't let them talk nonsense, it's not good to spread to people's ears, after all, the person who comes is a guest." β
Between the words, Sun Luolian could hear that Yu Bai and Zhong Ming had not yet reached the point of falling in love, and her little face instantly had a smile again.
Nodding obediently, Sun Luolian said happily: "I'll tell the group of people with broken mouths when I turn around." β
"Okay, let's talk later, I have to hurry up and find Miss Yu Bai. β
Looking at Zhong Ming's departing back, Sun Luolian finally laughed happily, the word "Yu Bai" was not as harsh as before.
Old man Sun slowly walked behind his granddaughter and said in a low voice: "Xiaolian, Xiao Zhong is a good boy and has the ability, such a man, I can't find a second one in the entire border, if you are really interesting, we have to hurry."
How about Grandpa call someone to tell you a matchmaker another day?"
When it was really time to talk about marriage, Sun Luolian couldn't wipe her face, she said coquettishly: "Grandpa......"
Old man Sun also looked up at Zhong Ming's disappearing back, and said: "You are not young anymore, in the next year, Xiao Zhong will be crowned, and it is time to marry a wife and start a family." β
Sun Luolian stared at her back stupidly and didn't make a sound, but she was thinking in her heart: It would be good if time passed faster, so that Brother Zhong could marry him justifiably.
......
Zhong Mingke has never had this kind of thought about marriage, during this time he has been overwhelmed by all kinds of strange things, how can he have time to fall in love.
Walking all the way home, Zhong Ming happened to see Yu Bai packing his things.
said that it was to clean up, but in fact, Yu Bai didn't have much to do, she just sent some rice grain at Zhong Ming's house.
Pushing open the door, Zhong Ming watched Yu Bai put away the rice bag, and asked suspiciously, "Miss Yu Bai, are you leaving?"
Yu Bai still had a look on his face, and snorted coldly: "Don't fool around with you stupid people who don't spare your life." β
Still the misunderstanding just now has not been solved, Zhong Ming sighed, and had to explain to Yu Bai the reason for the borrowing of his life.
After hearing the reason for the matter, Yu Bai's face was much better, but she still said coldly: "This kind of evil thing, don't easily respond to others in the future, you are exchanging your own life for someone else's life." β
Zhong Ming said with a smile: "I will exchange my life for the lives of more than 200 people in the mud village, and I will not lose anything." β
Yu Bai's expression was moved, and she looked at Zhong Ming again, with a bit of strange color in her eyes.
Even so, the rice bag in Yu Bai's hand still didn't put it down, she put the rice bag on her back and said, "Borrow the rice you ordered from your family, and your horse." β
"Are you really leaving?"
Looking at Yu Bai's appearance, there is no anger anymore, it seems that something is really wrong.
Zhong Ming didn't ask, he just stuffed another piece of meat into Yu Bai's rice bag, and advised: "Miss Yu Bai, you still have to be careful when you go, don't believe other people's words." β
A word of advice reminded the two of them of the scene when they met, and Yu Bai gave Zhong Ming a roll of his eyes: "Do you think everyone in the world is as bad as you?"
Smiling, Zhong Ming said: "When you go out, be careful, it's always right." β
Yu Bai took the rice bag from Zhong Ming's hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't go too far, I'm going to Sui Yunshan for a trip, and I'll be back in a few days." β
Hearing this, Zhong Ming frowned, and he had to ask, "Miss Yu Bai, don't you know that something has happened to the spiritual veins in the mountains?"
That's what Bai Yujing is eyeing at you, and if you enter the mountain at this time, you will inevitably offend Bai Yujing. β
"I know. β
Yu Bai hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have a reason why I have to go, the divine soul you brought last night is really a disciple of Kunlun, according to what he said, the reason why he lurked in Sui Yun Mountain was to find something amazing." β
Zhong Ming said worriedly: "As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, and everyone wants a baby, but if you have a life and don't use your life, it's in vain." β
Yu Bai's eyes were resolute, and she said: "I will go on this trip, that thing may be able to solve my sword bone worries." β
Knowing that it was about Yu Bai's sword bones, Zhong Ming stopped persuading, he knew that he couldn't stop Yu Bai.
Since he couldn't stop it, Zhong Ming was ready to help Yu Bai make a foolproof plan, and he pulled Yu Bai to sit in the room: "Miss Yu Bai, you wait, I'll borrow something for you." β
After speaking, Zhong Ming hurriedly ran out.
Yu Bai sat on a small wooden bench and saw Zhong Ming disappear into the courtyard, staring at the door in a daze.
This little village official is really good to herself, and that kind of good is not that everyone in the palace spoils her, but that she can help if she can help her.
Yu Bai's thoughts were flying, and she remembered the bits and pieces with Zhong Ming during this time, and always felt that Zhong Ming gave her an indelible impression, a very strange feeling, Yu Bai had never felt this way about others.
She sat in the room for a moment, and Zhong Ming ran back panting slightly.
Zhong Ming held a sword in his hand, handed the sword to Yu Bai's hand and said, "Miss Yu Bai, your saber is not broken, take this one first." β
Taking the sword, Yu Bai drew his sword out of the sheath, this is a slender sword, it seems to be specially made for women, there is also the texture of vine petals on it, and the word "hundred flowers" is engraved on the blade.
Divine Sword Hundred Flowers, as the sword of the flower interpretation of the year, also has a place on the list of divine soldiers.
"Our village is small, and no one uses a sword, there is no good sword, this sword is borrowed from someone else's house, you take it for emergency first. β
Yu Bai put the sword back into the scabbard, pouted, and said: "This kind of sword is rare in my sword cliff, and it is not a good sword, so there is no good sword in your eyes, I am afraid that only your sword is the best in the world." β
Zhong Ming smiled awkwardly, he had never seen the blades of the immortals, and he didn't know that the Hundred Flower Sword was such a divine weapon.
Zhong Ming smiled: "It's good to be able to use it." β
Picking up the sword and carrying the rice bag on his back, Yu Bai led Zhong Ming's old horse in the courtyard and went out of the courtyard.
And Zhong Ming sent her all the way to the entrance of the village, and when the girl in a strong suit rode her horse to Sui Yunshan, he didn't forget to advise: "Be careful in everything!"
"Don't worry, I will return safely, I Yu Bai will not lose my trust, I borrowed your horse and sword, I will come back and pay it back!"
The girl in the black suit waved her hand on the horse's back and rode away.
Horses' hooves trampled on the muddy path, splashing muddy water.
Zhong Ming stood on the stone at the entrance of the village and whispered, "May you return safely." β
At this time, the sun was shining brightly, and this was the first parting of the young man and the girl.
......
The old horse disappeared into the distance, and Zhong Mingcai reluctantly withdrew his gaze, he thought that such a beautiful girl would not be seen in the next few days, and he felt a little annoyed in his heart.
After sighing, Zhong Ming was about to turn around and go back to the village, but inadvertently he saw Huaguang coming out of Sui Yunshan, coming from the direction where Yu Bai had left.
The light came in an instant and fell in front of Zhong Ming.
Dingββ
The melodious sound of the pipa sounded in the ears of the bell, and the wide clothes of the people who came were swaying in the wind, with the appearance of immortals, it was Feng Ning who had disappeared for a few days.
Feng Ning slowly landed, and the jade pipa slowly shrunk, flying into Feng Ning's back and disappearing.
Feng Ning had a happy smile on his face, and there was an irrepressible smile in his eyes, just like picking up a treasure.
After seeing Zhong Ming, Zhong Ming's smile was even worse, and before he landed, he shouted loudly: "Mr. Zhong, are you waiting for me to come back?"
Zhong Ming didn't want to mention Yu Bai's entry into the mountain to him, but just smiled and said, "I happened to be watching the scenery at the entrance of the village, Mr. Feng, are you coming back from the mountain after finishing your errands?"
Nodding, Feng Ning smiled and said, "I have gained a lot from this trip, and I also need Mr. Zhong's help." β
"Mr. Feng is serious, but he is just teaching Mr. to make a song, and borrowing a place to live is not a foil. β
After a few polite words to Feng Ning, Zhong Ming turned to ask, "I don't know if Mr. saw a team of soldiers and horsemen when he entered the mountain?"
"You're talking about General Yang and the Scales, they should be there later. β
The name of the fine scale rider is so great that even this immortal from the Southern Han Dynasty has heard of it or two.
Hearing that Yang Yanlang was finally going back to the city, Zhong Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Yang Yanlang left, Zhong Ming has carried everything on the border by himself, and at first he didn't feel it when he didn't recognize Yang Yanlang, his uncle, anyway, he carried everything by himself.
After recognizing this uncle, Zhong Ming felt a little dependent in his heart, after all, there were very few people who could share his worries.
Zhong Ming hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Then Feng Sheng will go back to the village first, and I will wait here for my uncle's cavalry team." β
Hearing Zhong Ming's title, Feng Ning was surprised: "Yang Yanlang turned out to be your uncle, Mr. Zhong is deeply hidden!"
Waving his hand, Zhong Ming just smiled dryly, but did not answer, he never showed off for such things.
But he didn't think that Feng Ning pulled him down, and said: "Don't worry, the fine scales are tired of riding the cart and horse, the march is very slow, and you should not be able to come back until the afternoon, Mr. can come back in the afternoon to greet you." β
So the two walked to the village, Feng Ning was in a good mood and talked a lot.
"Feifei hasn't caused you any trouble these days, has he?"
Feng Ning shook off the wide sleeves of his robe and walked hand in hand with Zhong Ming.
With the others, Zhong Ming also had to maintain the elegance of a scholar, he slowly followed with his hands, and said with a smile: "Feifei is very good, she is a smart girl, she can take care of herself, I didn't help her, let alone trouble me." β
Feng Ning smiled with satisfaction: "That's good." β
Just chatting, the two were very casual, along the way, from Feng Mufei chatting about the song and the spiritual veins of Sui Yunshan, Feng Ning did not avoid Zhong Ming, and seemed to be able to tell him anything.
Zhong Ming thought to himself: Why not take this opportunity to mention Li Wangye's matter?
Thinking of this, Zhong Ming hurriedly diverted the conversation and said tentatively: "Mr. Feng, I have something I want to ask you, I don't know, can you help?"
After a slight pause in his figure, Feng Ning stopped slightly, turned his head and stared at Zhong Ming with a smile: "Sir, you can speak, Feng Ning will make a decision after hearing it." β
