Volume 2 Gangneung Chun Chapter 92 The Wandering World
Dabai walked in the forest with three hares, and in addition to the three-foot green peak, he also carried a bamboo quiver and a bow behind him. His clothes looked a little messy, and he was dusty.
A fire lit up in the bushes not far in front of him, and the sound of firewood bursting could be faintly heard. He stooped into the bushes, only to see that the burning fire was empty, and the water in a bamboo cup was still steaming, apparently having left not long ago.
He dropped the rabbit with a pop, his eyes were a little chilly, his right hand clenched the hilt of the sword, and Qing Feng slowly unsheathed, "Who?
Two white-clothed figures leaned out of the bushes, and Chen Baohan said softly: "Brother Bai, it's us." ”
Da Bai turned his head and looked at the two haggard girls, looking a little pitiful.
"You went out for a long time and didn't come back, we heard the voice and thought it was someone from Yinshan Gate, so we hid with Ya'er. Chen Baohan pulled Ya'er back to the fire and sat down.
It was late at night, and it was a little cold in the woods.
Da Bai took out a dagger and dehaired the hares that came, "In a few days, when we approach Jiangling City, the hand of Yinshan Gate will not dare to stretch out so long." ”
After two moments, Da Bai handed the two roasted rabbit meat to Chen Baohan and Ya'er respectively. The rabbit meat is fragrant, the skin and flesh are grilled golden brown, and although it is only sprinkled with a little salt, it is enough to make the mouth taste good. They eat some game in the forest these days, and Dabai is very good at catching these game, and he can change his tricks almost every two days to eat.
"Ya'er?" Da Bai asked softly, and at this moment Ya'er was staring down at the rabbit meat in her hand, as if she was distracted. In fact, in the past half a month, she has been distracted several times a day, but it has become more and more serious in the past few days.
"Oh......" Ya'er sighed, and Bei Tooth took a bite of rabbit meat, chewing it in her mouth intentionally or unintentionally, and her thoughts still drifted away.
Chen Baohan said next to Ya'er: "Sister Ya'er, eat quickly, if you don't eat again, it will be cold." ”
"Hmm......" Ya'er nodded with tears in her eyes, "I'm just ......"
"Brother Ling will definitely be fine. Chen Baohan knew what Ya'er was worried about, and comforted softly.
"But it's been a month, and there's no news at all. Ya'er suddenly couldn't hold back her tears, tears flowed down her cheeks mercilessly, dripping onto the piece of rabbit meat in her hand.
She has only one wish in her heart, that is, to be able to look forward to Ling Jiang's safe return. It's just that she waited for a full month, and the wish in her heart gradually turned into an indefinite wait.
"No news is good news. Da Bai said in a low voice, "At least he wasn't caught by the people of Yinshan Gate, otherwise Yinshan Gate will definitely threaten us with him, don't think too much, he won't have an accident so easily." ”
Da Bai actually knew that he was not worthy to say this, after all, he had proposed it when he asked Ling Jiang to send ghosts. Da Bai once wanted to embark on the Yin Yang Road alone to find the traces of Lingjiang, but there were pursuers from the Yin Mountain Gate in front and behind. Yinshanmen even spent a lot of money to issue bounties in major towns, obviously they were determined to swallow this big fat sheep.
This Yinshan Gate is an old sect on the Jiangling side, with deep roots, and no one knows how they developed. Jiangling City also sent troops to recruit them, but thousands of iron horsemen couldn't fight the three caves of cunning rabbits after all, and although they spent a lot of effort, they couldn't destroy the nest of Yinshan Gate after all. Even the tongues that were caught were all minions, and they couldn't ask anything for a long time, so the matter was over.
In the face of the thousands of miles of pursuit at the Yinshan Gate, they could only keep fleeing and hide in the mountains. Unconsciously, their location was also getting farther and farther away from Tonghai City. And Da Bai also knows that the first thing he has to do now is to protect the safety of Chen Baohan and Ya'er, only when he arrives in Jiangling City, can he be regarded as escaping the pursuit of Yinshan Gate, and then he can go back alone to find the traces of Lingjiang.
Ya'er's crying gradually stopped, and after eating, she fell asleep with Chen Baohan, who had been running around for the past few days, and they were very tired.
Just half an hour later, Da Bai suddenly extinguished the fire, woke up the two who were sleeping deeply, packed their bags one after another, and left by moonlight. After only a cup of tea, a group of masked men found the fire that had just been extinguished.
The night is long, the road ahead is long, and Da Bai himself doesn't know when this endless rush will come to an end.
......
The sky in the north is very clear, but when the snow melts and the cold disperses, it will be colder here than in the bitter winter.
Xuelan Town is an ordinary town in the north of Great Zhou, but he seems very unusual. Just because this is a necessary road from the north to Chang'an, from here will be much smoother than the other roads, although there is a lot of detour, but at least there is no need to climb over the snow ridge, there is also an official road for horse-drawn carriages to travel.
"Okay, let's send it here, I'll walk alone after that, and I'll get to Chang'an. "In front of a liquor store, there stood a man in a mink coat, his hand habitually resting on the hilt of his sword at his waist, and a wolf's tooth tied to his body.
This kind of wolf tooth is said here in the Northland, only the warriors of the tribe or tribe can tie the wolf's tooth around the waist, and there were also some tribes that stipulated that as long as the wolf tooth can be tied, the woman of the tribe will let him choose a wife at will.
In front of him, there was also a sturdy man, he was only wearing a thin coat, and his strong arms were directly exposed to the ice and snow, but he did not shiver in the slightest. He smiled, "It's easy to go all the way, there are a lot of girls waiting for you in Chang'an, and you have to leave me a glass of wedding wine when the time comes." ”
"This is ...... nature" The man in the mink coat smiled, his eyes inadvertently glancing out, his face suddenly glazed over. I saw him hurriedly say, "Brother, I'll go first, if there is anything to do, I'll write back and contact him." ”
As he spoke, he smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and the whole person ran to another street in Xuelan Town.
"How much does a sugar gourd cost?"
"Three articles in a string. ”
Ye Xiangzhi handed out the three coins and picked a string of sugar gourds that looked big and red.
"Big sister, where have you been?" Xiaotong sat on the corner of the street, looking at Ye Xiangzhi who was walking back from a distance and asked, but her eyes were staring directly at the sugar gourd in her hand.
"Bought a string of sugar gourds. Ye Xiangzhi replied softly.
When Xiaotong heard this, he subconsciously licked the corners of his mouth, his eyes were full of anticipation, and he asked in a low voice, "I...... Can I take a bite?"
"No, I can't. Ye Xiangzhi shook his head.
Before Xiaotong's face turned ugly, she continued, "But you can eat a bunch." ”
Xiao Tong smiled, biting her mouth and flushing, Ye Xiangzhi took her hand, and the two stepped on the broken snow covered by the bluestone slab, leaving inconspicuous footprints.
As soon as they walked out of the south gate of Xuelan Town, they saw a man in a mink coat, who rushed up to stop them.
"This girl!" the man gasped slightly, and smiled at Ye Xiangzhi: "In Xia Shen Sansheng, he is a Northern Swordsman. ”
"Something?" Ye Xiangzhi asked softly, Xiao Tong beside him bit the sugar gourd and hid behind him, only half of his face was sideways.
Shen Sansheng smiled: "I don't know if the girl is going to Chang'an, we can go all the way, if you encounter a bandit blocking the road, you can take care of it, after all, your two girls' families will inevitably ......."
Without waiting for Shen Sansheng to finish speaking, Ye Xiangzhi took Xiaotong's hand and walked towards the white snow, they had to go around a few more mountains to see the evergreen mountains in all seasons.
Shen Sansheng hurriedly chased after him, walked beside Ye Xiangzhi and said, "Girl, don't you really think about it? It's always safer to have someone with you." I see that the sword in your hand seems to know some swordsmanship, right? Would you like us to find a place to have a fight?"
"Give you three breaths of time, if you don't retreat ten feet away, don't blame me for doing it. Ye Xiangzhi's mouth exuded some cold air, Shen Sansheng couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect that this girl who seemed to be gentle like water was actually a cultivator.
Shen Sansheng honestly retreated ten zhang, and only retreated ten zhang, silently following behind Ye Xiangzhi and the two.
"Sister, that person has been following us ......all the time," Xiaotong said softly.
"Just follow him, ignore him. Ye Xiangzhi said.
She looked at the clear sky, and suddenly wanted to see Chang'an.
......
Tick......
The water droplets hit Ling Jiang's face, and he slowly trembled his fingertips, and after a while, he opened his eyes, looking at the dark world, looking very lonely.
From time to time, water droplets fall and flow from his mouth, which allows his body to stay hydrated all the time. It was a quarter of an hour before Moyo regained consciousness. He sat up with his hands touching the darkness, and he still had a strip between his fingers, and he knew what it was.
"Where is this?" Ling Jiang muttered softly, the darkness of the missing fingers was a little scary.
"Meow ......"
Immediately after, a cat meow came to Ling Jiang's ears, and he quickly sensed that something furry had jumped on him.
"White cat, why are you here?" Ling Jiang gently stroked the white cat's hair, and a trace of warmth spread along his palms to his whole body, allowing his body to finally regain some strength.
He suddenly remembered something, pinched the sword in his hand, and drew a rune in the darkness.
Only at the moment of penning, the runes shone brightly, breaking through the darkness, and the golden light lit up the surroundings like a ball of fire. The white cat lying on Ling Jiang's body looked at the golden light in front of him dumbfounded, feeling unclear.
Ling Jiang didn't know that this was a rune that only he could see, and in the eyes of others, there was only a dazzling light.
He carefully put away the water, looked around, and immediately rushed to the spring behind him, took the spring water and drank it in a big gulp, until his belly was full of water, and then he stopped contentedly.
"Little white cat, how did we get here?" Ling Jiang asked, looking at the white cat, he had a feeling that the white cat should be able to understand what he was saying.
"Meow. The white cat lifted one of its forefeet and pointed to the spring behind it and barked.
"This ...... All right. Ling Jiang nodded helplessly, he naturally couldn't guess what the white cat said was popping out of the spring, and thought that he wanted to drink more water.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of scratches carved on the stone wall beside him, a full thirty-three, and the last scratch was very clear, it must have been carved not long ago
"You drew this?" Ling Jiang asked.
"Meow. ”
"We've been here for a month?" Ling Jiang said in surprise, and then thought to himself, "How can this be only a month?"
He remembered that he had been in the picture scroll for three months, and even if the white cat might have woken up late, there should not be such a big gap.
"Could it be that the time in the painting is slower than the time outside?" Ling Jiang thought to himself, always feeling that something was flowing in his body, and he felt very uncomfortable.
He subconsciously closed his eyes and felt quietly, and suddenly faintly caught a glimpse of the bright burning lamp of the three stations in front of him, the middle one high above, surrounded by a clean and flawless white cyclone.
"It's ...... Three Corpse Divine Lamps?
