Chapter 129: The Sword Sect in the Mountains
The female ghost returned to the mountains and forests empty-handed, and Su Yu made a pot of tea on the fire.
Feeling the cool breeze of the early summer night, Su Yu drank the last sip of tea in the cup, poured the tea residue into the fire, and the little tea fell into the fire with the tea residue, but this little tea did not have much effect on the raging fire.
After putting down the teacup in his hand and boiling a pot of boiling water, Su Yu cautiously pushed the door into the thatched house, and found that the girl was actually sitting on the edge of the simple wooden bed in the dark, quietly looking at the night sky outside through the small window.
The night sky is full of stars.
"Don't you sleep yet?"
Su Yu walked over gently and sat on the edge of the bed with the girl.
The thatched hut was not far from the fire outside, and the girl naturally heard the conversation between Su Yu and the female ghost just now. The girl knew what Su Yu was going to do, just like Su Yu knew what the girl wanted to say.
"Ah Hai's absence is indeed a bit of trouble. Before Su Yu could speak, she said, "There is already danger in the mountains and forests, not to mention that now that birds and beasts are on guard, there must be some unknown dangers inside, I really can't let you go in with me." ”
"I'm not sleepy. ”
The girl did not respond to Su Yu's later sentence, but responded to Su Yu's previous sentence.
Not being sleepy is the reason why you haven't slept, and it is also an objection to Su Yu's later sentence.
Su Yu was helpless: "I can face danger, you can't, the house is safe." ”
"I could see through the window that you knocked down the ghost with a stick, but I'm still in the house. The girl gently tugged at the corner of Su Yu's clothes.
Su Yu fell silent.
For a long time, as long as the girl was spoiled, Su Yu couldn't oppose the girl, and now Su Yu was defeated again.
So after Su Yu was silent, he went out and brought hot water and began to wash the girl's feet, and then coaxed the girl to sleep.
Seeing that the girl had fallen asleep deeply, Su Yu looked at the difficult sword that had been placed on the low wooden table in the thatched house, but in the end, Su Yu still did not pick up the difficult sword, but sat on the edge of the bed, and sat quietly and fell asleep.
The stars were gone, the darkness was broken, and the sky glowed with a bright and beautiful golden glow.
When the first rays of the early sun shone into the thatched house, Su Yu woke up, and Su Yu went out to the well in the village to fetch a bucket of water.
It was not too early, many villagers had already finished breakfast and went out to work before dawn, and along the way, Su Yu also met a few peasant women who stayed at home to work, and everyone would greet each other warmly.
"Little brother, breakfast is ready, you and the little girl come over to eat together!" Su Yu just finished washing the girl, and the old village chief went to the front of the house to call the two of them to breakfast.
The thatched house is just a simple single room, Su Yu and the girl naturally can't cook in it, and the people in the village are also hospitable, so the two don't have to worry about it.
"Okay, right away. Su Yu responded in the room.
After speaking, Su Yu immediately put on cotton boots for the girl, put on cotton clothes, and went out with the girl.
The old village chief usually doesn't work much, and he can't do much farm work when his son is not at home, so he uses the money sent by his son to exchange some rice and vegetables from the villagers.
"Little brother, ...... last night"
At the dinner table, the old village chief asked a little uneasily. No livestock were lost last night, but regarding the matter of asking the whole village to go to bed early, even if the villagers didn't ask, the old village chief wanted to know some inside information, after all, Su Yu and the girl were just guests. Love
"It's okay, don't worry. ”
Su Yu smiled, but it was a slight chopsticks in front of him, and the chopsticks suddenly ignited a small flame, and before the old village chief could see Su Yu could understand it, he blew out the flame.
Su Yu was speechless, casually picked a pickle stream from the plate, lowered his head and continued to eat the millet porridge in the bowl.
The old village chief was stunned for a while before he reacted, and asked inarticulately, "Is this ...... Could it be that you are ......, little brother?"
"You can do it, and you don't need to be polite, you provide me and the girl's food and lodging, and I will clean up some demons and monsters for the village, which is not too much. ”
Su Yu didn't look up, still bowed his head and drank the porridge, and the old village chief didn't know whether to sigh or let out a long sigh of relief.
After the meal, Su Yu learned a little about the mountains and forests behind the village from the old village chief, and then led the girl standing on the difficult sword and flew into the sky from the thatched house at the end of the village.
No one else around saw Su Yu and the girl go away with their swords, only the old village chief who followed Su Yu to the thatched hut saw it.
Because the girl is not a cultivator, Su Yu is holding the girl and standing on the sword together, but after a while, the difficult sword took the two of them to fly up to the high school hundreds of meters high, Su Yu looked back at the old village chief who had been watching him leave under the ground, remembered the female ghost he met last night, and sighed in his heart: "Trouble!"
People and ghosts have different paths, Su Yu didn't plan to tell the old village chief about the female ghost, of course Su Yu didn't need to tell the female ghost about the old village chief, after all, the female ghost could go back to visit the old village chief at any time.
The sound of the wind disturbed the ears, Su Yu and the girl soon came to the depths of the mountain forest, and after a little circle, they saw the black bear nest in the mouth of the female ghost.
However, Su Yu didn't stay long, and left after a few glances.
The vitality in the depths of the mountain forest is richer than in the village, but following the direction of the village towards the mountain forest, Su Yu can feel that the vitality is constantly becoming richer, although the change is minimal.
Soon, Su Yu took the girl out of the mountain behind the village, but another mountain peak was closely connected to this peak.
Su Yu carefully sensed the surrounding vitality and found that although the degree of growth was very low, the richness of the vitality was still growing in that direction, and Su Yu flew towards the mountain peak without hesitation.
There is no anomaly, the abundance of vitality is still rising, and it is still farther away.
It wasn't until the difficult sword flew above the seventh peak that Su Yu stopped, and it was more than ten miles away from the village, so it didn't seem that he needed to worry too much.
The reason why Su Yu stopped was not because the vitality here was rich and rich, but because there was a fairly large palace below.
From the sky, the palace runs from the seventh mountain to the eighth mountain, and although it is not as good as the imperial city in Ningkang City, it is still comparable to the mansions of many of the top families in the wealthy county town.
There is not too much splendor, and there is not too much fireworks, as if it is like a person who lives in seclusion in the mountains, with a dusty atmosphere that does not eat fireworks, but it is such a large palace, and the word hermit obviously has nothing to do with it.
Seeing the gate of the palace, Su Yu went with a sword, and suddenly saw a huge gilded statue standing in a large courtyard on the eighth hill in the distance, the statue was a woman dancing with a sword, and the statue could be seen from afar, very beautiful.
It's just that Su Yu didn't have time to think about it before he came to a gate, and led the girl to the ground, and Su Yu immediately withdrew the difficult sword.
stepped forward and knocked lightly on the vermilion golden door, and Su Yu took the girl and waited quietly. But in a moment, a fairly handsome teenager opened the door.
The boy was dressed in a black-edged red robe, with a black crown on his head, a red headband, and a long sword hanging from his waist.
The young man glanced at Su Yu carefully, only to feel that Su Yu was extraordinary, with a sword on his back, but he didn't know if it was a noble child who came to the mountains and forests to hunt and got lost, so he took the lead and asked, "May I ask what happened to the son?"
The young man looked at Su Yu at the same time that Su Yu was also looking at the young man, and it was naturally not difficult for Su Yu to see that this young man was a cultivator, so it seemed that this place was actually a sword sect.
So Su Yu responded to the young man with a smile: "I am a casual cultivator, and I took the scholar out to practice and met your family, so I planned to go in to rest and ask for advice." ”
