Wake up from a dream Chapter 216 The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada

Fu Huanjing's cultivation in the human world will not be smooth sailing, and during this period, there will be countless mountains and forests cultivating to rob him of his opportunity and blessings.

Coincidentally, as soon as Fu Huanjing stabilized his Kun Ling muscles and bones, he met a resourceful mountain cultivator.

"You're back, why are you so early?" asked a woman in disbelief.

"Why, do you have any friends, why didn't you tell me earlier?" said the woman, with a hint of reproach in her words.

It's just that she is still very happy, and she has not changed in the slightest because of the appearance of this man in white.

The man in white didn't know what his expression was at that time, let alone what he should say and do.

He only seemed to hear the two enthusiastic masters talking a lot together, and he remembered that he seemed to have said some of the same.

But if you ask him what exactly he said, he will certainly not be able to answer.

Because, he is searching hard, searching hard in the memories of the past.

He wondered where he had seen such eyes.

He wanted to know why he had a strange and indescribable feeling when he saw these eyes.

Now, they were in the house, the same one he had been trying to enter.

However, he didn't know how he got into this house.

His mind searched, but there was still no answer that could convince him.

He seemed to hear the man in black explaining, "This friend of mine has never been accustomed to associating with living people, so he is a little reticent. ”

Then, he seemed to hear a pleasant voice saying, "I'm embarrassed to talk about people, weren't you like this before!"

Then he heard the man in black keep saying, "Yes, yes, yes." ”

The room is not very large, but the three of them are still very spacious.

The furnishings in the house are varied, but surprisingly neat and uniform. It was evident that the hostess of the cottage was a very virtuous woman.

There was a wooden table by the window in the room, and the table was already filled with light dishes of different colors.

The three of them sat around the wooden table and sat on bamboo chairs.

There is no banquet without wine, and the hostess of the cottage has unconsciously taken out a pot of wine that has been treasured for many years.

"It's made by our own hands, you can taste it, I don't usually have this mouthful. The man in black took a shallow sip of wine and said.

Where is there still a little bit of a thousand cups of wine that was not drunk before, and the heroic appearance of the sky.

The man in white drank it all, and to be honest, it was not a good wine at all.

It may only be called a glass of water wine, which has a special taste, a little sour, and a hint of bitterness.

"Good wine"

When he heard these words come out of his mouth, the man in white couldn't believe his ears, he wouldn't have been polite.

But when he saw the expectant eyes of the man in black, he knew he couldn't help but say it.

Moreover, he believes, there must be another pair of eyes looking at him.

"Come, try our own vegetables again, Xue'er's craftsmanship is very good," said the man in black with great enthusiasm as he sandwiched a large plate of food into the bowl of the man in white.

Cher, needless to say, must be the hostess's name.

The man in white suddenly understood that in the past three years, what the man in black held in his hand was no longer a sword that killed people, but a plow and hoe that ploughed the land and weeded it.

The miscellaneous matters he cares about are no longer grievances and sectarian disputes on the rivers and lakes. These things may not be as important as how to stop the ferocious beasts from coming to the fields to steal vegetables.

So, his sword slowed down, and his people changed.

Everything is just because he has a warm home and a woman he loves all his life.

And all of this is just three years of time.

A paragraph is not long, and it is not a very short time.

Three years ago, it was their last farewell in Tongzhou, drinking and talking, falling asleep, and being happy.

He still remembers that day, and he remembers that day vividly, it was not snowing very much.

The fluttering snowflakes can't take away the sorrow and resentment.

The heart of the man in white began to beat violently again.

His mind searched as if he suddenly had a clear answer.

"Brother, do you remember that snow three years ago?" asked the man in black with another sip of wine.

It was as if he had created some new sword move, and he was so satisfied and enjoyed.

It's just that the current expression has a different meaning.

It was really a long time ago!

Although the wine is not a good wine, after two glasses, the mood of the man in white is obviously much more relaxed.

Now he was holding a wine glass and said slowly: "I still remember that day the two of us were escaping from a pawnshop, and we were chased and beaten by a group of beggars behind, it was only because you had to take a torn robe for a thousand taels of silver, to be honest, I still can't figure out where you found such a torn robe, it seems that there is nothing but a hole or a hole." ”

The man in black also smiled: "That pawnshop is notoriously rich and unkind, I have long wanted to find an opportunity to find their bad luck, as for the robe, I bought it from a lonely old woman, and it cost me a full five hundred taels of silver." ”

The man in white said: "Five hundred taels of silver to buy a torn robe, this kind of thing may only be done by you, but think about it, we haven't tasted being chased by people for a long time." ”

The man in black said: "I remember that you deliberately shouted at the time, looking frightened, but in the eyes of an expert like me, the heat was a little too much." ”

"I just want to pretend to be a little bit like that, I really want to know what those beggars would have if they knew who we really were." ”

The man in black said: "Don't worry, they won't believe who we are if they kill them, because in their eyes, impostors like us are commonplace." ”

The man in white said: "I remember I made a bet with you that whoever runs slower will have a drink." ”

The man in black said: "We said that we are not allowed to use light work, but I didn't expect that looking at your usual appearance, you really have a set of running skills." ”

The man in white said: "I remember that time, although I won, I still paid for the wine." ”

The man in black said: "Who told me to drop my money bag when I ran away, hehe! There are 1,000 taels of silver tickets in it!"

"I know you deliberately left your money bag for those beggars, and I'm used to being eaten by you. ”

The man in black said: "That can only be blamed for your natural wealth, the endless wealth at home, and a well-known father to support you." ”

The man in white said: "I wonder how I made a poor and scoundrel friend like you. ”

The man in black said: "Because I'm lucky, I've always had a lot of luck, so you have to accept your fate." ”

Although the two people teased each other, their faces and eyes shone with enthusiasm, which is the trust and understanding that only a true friend who has gone through hardship can have, and this is a friendship that only a true man can understand.

Watching the man in black drink a glass of wine, the man in white not only sighed softly in his heart: "Maybe feelings and family can make a person change, but the friendship about friends in his body will never change." ”

"I remember that day we drank all afternoon, as if we had drunk the whole tavern. The man in white also drank it all, and strangely, the wine seemed to taste much better now.

"That's just because I'm in a good mood, and now I want to laugh just when I think of the pawnshop owner's sad face. ”

"I guess he won't know who blackmailed him for a thousand taels of silver. The man in white laughed.

"Later, if it hadn't happened, I think we would have drunk a few more jars of wine. The man in black said, and slapped open the mud seal of a jar of wine with his hand.

Neither of them noticed, and at some point, the hostess had quietly retreated outside the house, perhaps not wanting to disturb the interest of the two of them talking.

"I remember that a couple of villains known as the Four Tigers were bullying a few little girls, and of course we can't ignore this kind of thing. The man in white's expression suddenly changed slightly, because he knew that the story had reached the crux of the matter.

"I remember it was you who did it first, and you've always been a lagging behind in this kind of thing. The man in black laughed.

It's not that I don't give you a chance to make a move, it's just because I see them deceiving people too much, and I didn't expect the Four Tigers to be so bad. The white-clothed man's face turned slightly red and hurriedly explained.

"Another thing, you didn't say, those little girls are not ugly, and one of them, I remember secretly looking at you and laughing. "The man in black is unrelenting, and whenever he sees the man in white blushing, he finds it funny.

"But we didn't expect that the road was uneven, not only the two of us, but also a few young ladies who had just come out of the rivers and lakes mistakenly regarded us as wicked people. The man in white flickered.

"We've seen a lot of unreasonable young ladies, but it's the first time we've met with such good swordsmanship, and later, I'm thinking about whether to help you." ”

"Maybe it's just because I don't want to hurt them. "Humane in white.

"I thought so at first, but when I saw their swordsmanship and the direction they were taking, I knew you couldn't bargain easily. The man in black said with a much calmer expression.

"I didn't expect that Huashan's four-phase sword formation would be so powerful, and I didn't expect that these four eldest ladies who didn't distinguish between right and wrong would actually be the proud disciples of the head of the Huashan faction. The man in white smiled bitterly.

"Although they don't have much experience with the enemy, their swordsmanship is very ruthless, which may have a lot to do with the fact that the Qing Jue Master is too withdrawn, I remember that in the end you were forced to kill. ”

The man in white vaguely remembers that the scene of that day is still in front of him.

At first, he didn't take these fierce ladies seriously, thinking that he could easily dismiss them as soon as he made a move.

But after a few rounds, he was surprised to find that he had been trapped in an extremely tight formation.

You must know that Huashan's talents have withered in recent years, especially after the head of the sect announced that only female disciples would be accepted, Huashan's good hands are even rarer.

In order to resist foreign enemies and improve the status of Huashan, the head of the sect combined the essence of the four-phase sword of the sect to create such a set of sword formations, which was to combine the strength of the four people to make up for the lack of skill of a single disciple, and the power was of course extraordinary.

However, the four disciples still have little experience in dealing with the enemy, and they mistakenly regard the man in white as a thief, so they are ruthless.

Although the man in white has no intention of hurting others, he never wants to be hurt by others, so when the four-phase array was launched to the heaven and earth, the famous stunt of the man in white was all-encompassing, and finally shot.

By the time the man in black realized that it was too late, he could only shout for mercy from his brothers, and at the same time, he joined the battle group like a black roc.

The man in white didn't want to show mercy to his subordinates, but the four-phase sword formation was indeed extraordinary, if he kept his hand, he knew that he would definitely be injured by the four of them, so he could only secretly complain in his heart.

As soon as the man in black joined the battle group, he immediately felt this invisible pressure, and at the same time, the net of heaven and earth and the all-encompassing finally collided together.

The man in black could only try his best to remove most of the sword qi from the side, but the man in white was so all-encompassing that the remaining sword qi was enough to destroy the monument and crack the stone.

What's more, there is a characteristic of all-encompassing, the stronger the resistance encountered, the greater the counterattack it generates.

Therefore, the eldest disciple with the deepest skill of the four disciples withstood almost most of the attacks of this style.

The man in black heard only a scream of pain, and then a thin figure fell.

Although blood was spattered on his chest, his eyes were still shining like stars.

It was the first time the man in white had seen these eyes, and it was also the first time he had seen a man in black look like that to look at a girl he didn't know.

But at that time, he was at a time when his all-encompassing strength had not been fully recovered, and he had no intention of paying more attention to this momentary change.

He seemed to remember that the three little girls cried like three weeping people, and immediately carried the injured to seek medical treatment.

At the time, the man in black didn't seem to be anything special.

However, after this incident, the two of them had no interest in drinking, so they hurriedly said goodbye.

That was three years ago, in the past in Tongzhou.

Now, he saw those eyes again, and it was in the hut of the man in black.

The man in white could only sigh again, sighing at the impermanence of the world.

A man who almost died by his sword three years ago turned out to be the wife of his best friend, and as his best friend, he didn't even know anything about it.

He had a lot to say this time other than going on a date three years ago, but now he couldn't say a word.

He didn't know if he should be sincere and humble, ask someone to forgive him for the sword incident three years ago, or call his sister-in-law affectionately and say that he wishes them a long life.

But he knew that these things were not important to the owners of the hut, because all they needed was a quiet life, a long stay.

The tender gazes of the two men spoke for themselves, and he really couldn't find a reason to deprive them of all.

There is nothing wrong with love, and there will never be anything wrong with love.

Maybe the way or timing of love can't be mastered and pinched very accurately.

The man in white was smiling bitterly again, he just covered his mouth with the wine glass in his hand.

The man in black said: "I know you must have a lot to say to me, but now, you know everything." ”

The man in white said: "I understand, now I only have one thing to ask you. ”

His eyes were fixed on his friend, and two words of understanding were written in his gaze.

In the eyes of the man in black, there seemed to be something surging: "Okay, you can say it!"

The man in white said: "I just want you now, drink a few glasses of wine with me." ”

The wine is not good wine, but the two of them get drunk quickly.

Maybe they were already drunk quickly, or maybe they wanted to get drunk quickly.

However, no matter how drunk you are, there will be a time to wake up.

When people are sober, everything still has to be faced truthfully.

Why are there so many people who want to get drunk?

At some point, the hostess was already standing at the door.

The evening sunset shone on her slender figure, and her long hazy hair looked even more pitiful and lovely.

But who can see the gaze in her eyes and understand the words of her heart.

Would she rather get drunk herself?

Drunkenness wakes up, like the setting sun that rises the next day.

The same light and heat, the same from east to west.

Perhaps only in the sun, there is no sorrow, there is no hierarchy, because the sun is fair and generous to everyone.

The man in white only felt that his head hurt badly, and the pain seemed to be about to crack.

Does everyone who wakes up especially hate the morning sun?

The Man in Black is gone, perhaps he is accompanying his gentle wife to prepare breakfast for guests, or perhaps he is happily plowing his own fields.

Is it because he's used to waking up early, or because he's not drunk at all?

In any case, the man in white only knew that it was time for him to go.

Everyone can choose the path they want to take, as long as you are willing to go.

As for whether it is happy or not, only the person who chooses it knows for himself.

The man in white smiled bitterly, and suddenly felt very relieved.

He had decided to say goodbye to his masters, and sincerely wished them happiness.

It's always nice to be able to see your friends happy.

Thinking of this, the head of the man in white seemed to be less painful, and the sunlight seeping in from the window seemed to be much softer.

The sunlight seeped through the cracks, and now there were bursts of the smell of rice.

The courtyard was already heard, the warm invitation of the man in black.

Only then did the man in white realize that he was really a little hungry.

In the morning, the field is quiet, and although there is sunshine, you can still see the distant foothills, the slight mist in the forest, and the dew that has not dissipated.

It's like a thin layer of gauze, dotted with sparkling gemstones.

The food is not rich, but it is delicious, just like the morning air, which is a little cold, but very fresh.

Eating a meal will not delay too much time, so it is now time to part.

"I'm leaving," said the man in white.

"Yes, I know. "Humanity in black.

"But you should, at least, let me send you one!"

In the bamboo forest, the two of them marched one after the other.

It was still a path almost covered by wild grass, but this time the two of them walked very slowly.

"You know, behind my house, there is a hill, and on the hill there is a temple called the Jade Buddha Temple. The man in black said.

The man in white didn't speak, he knew that the man in black must have his reason for saying this at this time.

"Although the temple is not big, the gods and goddesses in it are very effective. The man in black continued.

Because he knew that the man in white must be listening.

"A lot of people go there to pray to God, and Cher goes there a lot. At the mention of Cher, the tone of the man in black was obviously much warmer.

"Occasionally I would go with her, but each time she would just keep me waiting, and never tell me what she had said to the gods. ”

"I can only see her very devout worship of incense and worship the Buddha, respectfully kowtowing and kowtowing. ”

The tone of the man in black became more and more soothing, and the man in white seemed to see the thin figure who was bowing down.

"I don't know if the Buddha can really bless her, but I swear every time that I will do everything I can to protect her and never let her be harmed in the slightest. The man in black said in a resolute tone.

Perhaps only at this moment can people feel that he is an invincible swordsman in the past.

"I know that you must be very strange how the eccentric Huashan Qingjue would agree to our marriage, and you must also be curious to know how we were able to come together. ”

The man in white admitted that these were the questions he wanted to ask.

"You must have heard of Huashan, there is a strict door rule that everyone knows. ”

The man in white knew that the man in black must be a disciple of Huashan, and he was not allowed to marry.

Although the people in the rivers and lakes have mixed opinions about this rule of Qing Jue, one thing is certain, what Qing Jue said, absolutely no one in Huashan disciple dares to disobey.

"Isn't there an exception?"

This was the first time the man in white had spoken, because he knew that Xue'er was a disciple of Huashan.

Of course, the man in black understood what the man in white meant, so he quickly said: "There is absolutely no exception, maybe there is only one way." ”

The tone of the man in black suddenly became a little strange.

"There's only one way?" asked the white-clothed man's heart.

"Is it a departure from the teacher?"

"Yes, because only if you are not a disciple of Huashan, you don't need to abide by this door rule, and there is no other way. The man in black stared into the distance, as if he were talking to a distant god, as if he was recalling a moment.

"But I heard that if a disciple of Huashan wants to break away from the master, he must abolish his martial arts, is she already there?" said the man in white unbearably.

"Yes, so, you should know how much Cher needs me by her side. The eyes of the man in black were suddenly full of tenderness, a tenderness that only a husband who truly loves his wife can have.

The man in white lowered his head and said slowly: "I understand, now she has nothing but you, so you should stay by her side and let her know that her efforts are worth it." ”

The man in black didn't speak, and after a long time, he finally said two words softly: "Thank you." ”

Thank you, sometimes not, really thanks.

It may refer to understanding, perhaps gratitude, or an emotion that words cannot express.

And this kind of emotion, some people will never be able to experience.

This man in white is Bai Qi, who is known as the "White-clothed Divine Sword", and it is said that the long sword in his hand has already reached the realm of supernatural practice. Since his debut, he has gone through more than 1,000 battles, and he has rarely been defeated.

Some people even say that his sword has long been invincible in the world.

The man in black is the autumn wind of the leaves known as "a leaf does not sweep the autumn wind".

There are not many stories about him, people only know that he and Bai Qi are not only famous, but also have a lifelong friendship.

Because although he has a sword in his hand, he rarely makes a move, and the so-called "one leaf does not sweep" probably comes from this.

Three years ago, Ye Qiufeng suddenly disappeared mysteriously in the rivers and lakes, which caused rumors to spread among the people in the rivers and lakes.

Some people say that he has been killed by the enemy, and some people say that he went to live alone on the island of Immortals overseas.

Some people even say that he died in the hands of his good brother Bai Qi, for the title of the world's first sword, of course.

There are also rumors that three years ago, Ye Qiufeng was seen covered in blood all over his body, and he appeared at the foot of Huashan, and it seemed that he was still carrying a female disciple of Huashan, but because of his clear face, no one dared to make a big splash.

Who would have thought that Ye Qiufeng would live in seclusion in a nameless mountain hut, living an idyllic life of plowing at sunrise and resting at sunset.

There is no banquet in the world that will never be separated, and perhaps the separation was originally for the next reunion.

Watching the man in white drift away, the man in black still stood there, thoughtfully stroking his long hair.

Did he think of the days when the two of them roamed the rivers and lakes together and were happy to be revenge?

At some point, a slender and beautiful woman appeared next to the man in black, with a sigh, draped a robe over his body.

That figure is, of course, drifting snow, his drifting snow.

"Autumn, actually, you could have gone with him if you wanted. Piaoxue said.

Ye Qiufeng turned his head, gently held his wife's fragrant shoulder with his right hand, and said softly: "You know, I will never leave you." ”

Piaoxue said: "I know, what you promised me, you will definitely do it." But I don't want to see you so embarrassed. ”

Ye Qiufeng looked at his beloved wife's eyes, his eyes were full of love, and he said firmly: "Do you know? ”

A breeze blew by, gently swept by, and two figures snuggled closely.

No one noticed, and the drifting snow quietly turned her head, and the two lines of tears had fallen silently.

"You must know the purpose of Apocalypse's coming, but he didn't say anything, is it because of me?"

"Yes, I know, but he didn't say it, just because he knew that it was useless to say, after all, the affairs of the rivers and lakes have nothing to do with me. ”

"What's going on in the rivers and lakes, is there anything big going to happen in the rivers and lakes recently?" asked Piaoxue.

Piaoxue's voice has not fallen, she has a little remorse, she is not an eventful person, but today she is always restless for some reason.

Ye Qiufeng pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Although I have long stopped asking about the rights and wrongs in the rivers and lakes, I will still hear some things. ”

Piaoxue understood, because there was no place in this world that was absolutely far away from strife, and where there was strife, there would definitely be rivers and lakes, she was waiting for Ye Qiufeng to continue.

"About half a year ago, a mysterious organization suddenly appeared in the rivers and lakes, calling itself 'Wuyuan'. ”

"'Wu Yuan', what a strange name!"

"Yes, I heard that this organization is everywhere preaching the idea of 'the land of the world, the people of the world, the son of the world'. ”

"What is their purpose?" Piao Xue asked in Ye Qiufeng's arms.

"No one knows their true purpose, but every time a new organization is established and grows, it will inevitably be accompanied by bloody storms in the rivers and lakes. Ye Qiufeng's tone was a little heavy.

"Although they have only appeared for half a year, they have grown very fast, and now they have controlled almost half of the waterways and salt roads in the south of the Yangtze River, the water transportation wharves, and the collusion of the government and government, and they are quite powerful. ”

"The common people are going to suffer again. Drifting Snow said worriedly.

"Yes, although they are at the bottom, their numbers are very large, the so-called wool comes from the sheep, plus there is no organization, no ability to resist, so they are the most direct victims of sectarian battles every time. Ye Qiufeng said.

"Why is there so many people in the world who fight for me, fight and kill?" said Piaoxue in amazement.

"Because interests, endless interests, to be precise, are because some people disregard the world and the way of heaven in order to satisfy their selfish desires for wealth and their thirst for power. Ye Qiufeng's tone was already a little angry, and his hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist.

But he knew better than anyone that anger was mostly the only solution, and that anger was far less effective than the sword in the eyes of some.

His sword had been the sharpest, but could it still be as sharp as it had been?

Ye Qiufeng's heart suddenly sank.

There was another gust of fresh wind, but I was unintentionally a little helpless.

The mountain cultivator named Su Mingzhe used a praying mantis to catch cicadas, causing Fu Huanjing to fall into the realm of cultivation and reach Xunling.

But he never thought that when Fu Huanjing was dying, he was wearing a spiritual robe, and his spiritual power was abnormally strong.

It turned out that the spirit robe was once the treasure of the charm Yang Yaozhi, and naturally possessed her supreme mana.

Fu Huanjing didn't need to fight with that Ye Xiu Su Mingzhe, he only needed to meditate on the ground, run his aura, and repair his damaged spiritual bones.

Because of the beautiful phantom of the charmer Yang Yaozhi, from the gorgeous and extremely magical magic robe, he snatched the robe out and killed Ye Xiu Su Mingzhe with a sword.

At this point, the praying mantis catches the cicada, but the fall is strong.
