Chapter 22: Out of the Valley

"Palace, Shang, Corner"

"Signs, Feathers"

"Where did the sound of the piano come from?" Li Xiao was immersed in his memories, and suddenly a burst of piano sounds floated over, and his sorrow suddenly dissipated for seven minutes.

Li Xiao stood up, patted the snow on his body, and followed the sound of the piano to find it.

In the plum blossom forest, small snowflakes are scattered, and a fairy dressed in white sits under the peach blossom tree and caresses the strings unhurriedly, playing beautiful notes.

"Senior Xianyin, why are you here?" The fairy is Xianyin, Li Xiao asked suspiciously before leaving.

"Shouldn't you greet me for the New Year? Hearing Li Xiao's doubts, Xianyin didn't answer, stopped playing the piano, and asked rhetorically.

Looking at the bland fairy sound, Li Xiao patted his head regretfully and said, "Hey, I don't remember anything in my head, I almost forgot that today is the Spring Festival." ”

"Xianyin senior, the kid is here to give you a New Year's greeting. Li Xiao bowed, respectful as ever.

"I play here a lot. Xianyin seemed to be answering Li Xiao.

"You...... Why are you alone here grieving? Xianyin had some hesitation on his face, struggled for a moment, and still asked.

"I ......"

Without waiting for Li Xiao to answer, the fairy sound began to play the piano, mostly the sound of joy, the sound of the piano is clear and melodious, beautiful and beautiful, like a clear stream flowing in the mountains, meandering and trickling, like a white crane flying among the clouds, singing well.

Li Xiao smiled knowingly, didn't say more, sat down and quietly listened to the sound of the piano and enjoyed the scenery.

The beauty plays the piano, the talented bosom friend, what an attractive scenery.

Coming to this world, Li Xiao felt fortunate that he was in appearance, although he couldn't say that he was very handsome, but he was very attractive, and he had the temperament of a scholar, even after practicing martial arts, the temperament of a scholar was still the same.

......

"I'm leaving Runaway. ”

The piano sounded, "Where are you going?"

Even if it was questioning, the tone was still flat.

"Walk the rivers and lakes, and punish evil with a sword. ”

"Well, good. The fairy sound answered softly, and the sound of the piano sounded again, but the sound of the piano carried a little sadness.

Li Xiao also looked at the steep mountain peak.

......

The Spring Festival passed day by day, in addition to greeting the master every day and fighting with the senior brother and brother, Li Xiao began to prepare for the experience of leaving the valley.

"I'm going too. Dongfang Weiming looked at Li Xiao with tears in his eyes, and Li Xiao knew that this matter was not simple.

"No, I can't. "How can the wonderful rivers and lakes bring a drag oil bottle, Li Xiao decisively refused.

"Besides, you often go out of the valley, where do you need to pester me. Li Xiao took two steps back, and once the negotiation was not appropriate, he immediately retreated strategically.

"I ...... I'm not ......" Dongfang Weiming was speechless, his face was flushed in a hurry, beads of sweat fell down, and his face was so red that he even stammered.

"But I haven't been far away, and I've completed the tasks assigned by the master near Xiaoyao Valley. Dongfang Weiming had a flash of inspiration and quickly came up with a good reason.

"No, I can't. ”

As soon as Li Xiao's words fell, he saw Dongfang Weiming wanting to pounce on him and hug his thighs, and hurriedly retreated a few more steps.

"Anyway, no, I've already told the master, I'm the only one out of the valley this time. ”

Without waiting for Dongfang Weiming to reply, Li Xiao left quickly, leaving Dongfang Weiming alone in the wind.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Xiao chose to set off on the day of the Lantern Festival, taking advantage of the good night, the weather was slightly cool, and the ground and snow were blending, and he set off in a hurry.

Of course, if he could, Li Xiao also wanted to leave in broad daylight, but the conditions did not allow it, it was not clear that this kid came early every day to block the door and left in the evening, which was excessive.

"But, hehe, you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder. The corners of Li Xiao's mouth rose 38 degrees, and he was proud, "You didn't expect me to set off in the middle of the night." ”

Without saying goodbye to anyone, I went quietly, just as I came quietly, waving my sleeves and not taking a cloud with me.

This is an elegant statement, in fact, Li Xiao chose to leave at night and not say goodbye to anyone, not only to avoid the unknown in the east, but also to strengthen the heart of the valley, I don't want to go out of the valley because I see them, if I want to protect the valley, I must become stronger, if I want to become stronger, I need to leave the valley to go to the outside world, this is a kind of helplessness, but also a kind of growth.

This time out of the valley, Li Xiao's luggage was quite simple, a horse, a sword, a package - there were silver taels, a few changes of dry clothes, and some dry food made by Lao Hu.

The sword is also a sword that Li Xiao specially went to find Lao Hu to fight, Lao Hu was cast according to the sword Longquan sword cast by Ou Yezi, a swordsmith in ancient times, named Long Yuan, Li Xiao couldn't put it down when he saw this sword at first sight.

After thousands of tempering, seventy-seven and forty-nine days, Lao Hu finally forged the Longyuan sword, the hilt of the sword is carved with a dragon, and there is the word "Longyuan".

When the sword sheath was removed, I saw that the blade and the end of the sword were like lightning in the air, radiant and cold, it was a rare sword in the world, and it was no wonder that Li Xiao was difficult to give up.

"Dada"

The sound of horses' hooves, Li Xiao took advantage of the slight moonlight to embark on the journey, Long Yuan's sword behind him, like a hero.

"Gotta hurry, stay away from the Valley of Freedom first, and then find a better place to rest. ”

After leaving Xiaoyao Valley, a radius of several miles is deserted, usually the village under the valley wants to go to the city has to walk for a day and a night, tonight is not a long way to go, and can only find a place to rest and rest.

The horse walked along the road and kept walking, watching the night, and walked for about three hours.

"Phew~"

Li Xiao reined in his horse, stopped in front of a stream, chose a thicker tree and tied the horse, fed some hay, and looked for a tree to lean onto.

Li Xiao took a big sip of the kettle, and the water in the kettle had just been filled in the creek and could be drunk.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the moonlight is bright and clean, and the full moon is in the sky. Li Xiao, who looked at the full moon and didn't go far, thought of the people in Xiaoyao Valley again, and was a little reluctant, thinking about going back to the valley and what to do when he went out.

But is being in Runaway really what I want?

My original intention of practicing martial arts was to do chivalrous righteousness, help the people who should be helped, and protect the Valley of Freedom, and my choice was right.

Li Xiao firms up his heart, what is maturity? It's not that you grow up or mature, but you know how to think about some things, choose some and give up some, to grow better, and protect what you should protect.

Li Xiao closed his eyes and tried to clear his distracting thoughts.

A gust of wind whistled through the bare treetops, and the branches rattled as if to speak of its coldness.

"It's so cold~"

Before Li Xiao could sigh with emotion, he shook the cold wind.

Why don't you bring more clothes when you go out, the master told me a thousand times, really, I'm so stupid.

Li Xiao hurriedly sat upright, running the carefree heart method, running day by day, to get rid of the cold.

The moon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is really round......
