After twenty-three years of baptism, no matter how tenacious a person is, he will definitely change from before.

Children grow into the prime of life, and the prime of life passes in a flash, while the middle-aged people have entered the twilight.

But there are always things that don't change.

Although it was another twenty years of wind and frost and sword, which had turned the beautiful face that had secretly fallen for half of the grassland in the past, the way she looked at Zhao Wu'an was still so familiar and unforgettable.

Zhao Wu'an naturally recognized her at once, and with just one glance, he didn't dare to look at it again.

He was afraid that when he raised his head again, there would be no one in front of him, and the glimpse he had just made was just a dream.

Dailou Sangyu gently took his hand and removed it from his eyebrows.

Liao Xiaoran smiled softly.

"It's windy outside, let's go inside. ”

The cottage is built on the lake and is rustic and sturdy. There was a bed in the corner, a wooden table and a pair of low chairs by the door.

Liao Xiaoran sat down on a chair. Zhao Wu'an followed the room in a daze and sat down opposite her.

After sitting down, I woke up like a dream and thought that Dailou Sangyu had no seat. As soon as he wanted to get up, Dailou Sangyu had already pressed his shoulders and pressed him back into his seat.

"You sit. Her voice rang like a silver bell.

Liao Niang skillfully poured out two cups of hot water from the kettle on the table, put them in front of Zhao Wu'an, and said with a smile: "Jinguancheng is here, the road is not close, are you tired of walking?"

Dailou Sangyu obediently took a glass of water, drank half of it in one go, lightly puffed the pear vortex, and said: "The shoes are broken, Brother Wu'an is carrying me, and he is even more tired." ”

Liao Niang looked at Dailou Sangyu's bloodstained feet distressedly, and said softly with concern: "When I have nothing to do, I sew a lot of shoes and put them under the bed, which should fit your size." Don't forget to pick up a couple of pairs for a while. ”

Dailou Sang Yu smiled sweetly: "Hmm." ”

Zhao Wu'an listened to the two of them in a daze, motionless like a wood carving, and his thoughts drifted somewhere.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liao Xiaoran took a closer look at Zhao Wu'an from top to bottom.

"I've grown a beard. She laughs.

Zhao Wu'an was stunned, reached out to his chin and touched it. It did grow a dense circle of stubble.

He laughed at himself, "You are not allowed to have a beard in the temple, but I have not shaved my head." ”

"Very good. Liao Niang turned her face sideways and looked at his untied black hair, "When you were a child, I thought that the appearance of untied hair was pleasing to the eye." ”

Dailou Sangyu suddenly played around, stretched out his hand and inserted it into Zhao Wu'an's hair, stirring up a mess.

Zhao Wu'an couldn't dodge, so he could only shake his head in resistance, and said helplessly: "Don't make trouble." ”

Liao Niang covered her mouth and chuckled, and the wrinkles stacked at the corners of her eyes were also bent into a cluster.

Twenty-three years have dyed her hair white, and her beautiful face has long been scratched by the ruthless north wind.

But she is still like on the Mobei grassland that year, covering her mouth and smiling, her eyes bent into crescent moons, bright as the ups and downs of the galaxy.

Dailou Sangyu quietly stopped, but still silently, pressed half of his body weight on Zhao Wu'an.

There was an almost hot warmth from the cup in his hand, and Zhao Wu'an looked at Liao Xiaoran uneasily, biting his lip.

"Over the years...... Where have you been?"

Liao Niang raised her eyebrows lightly and pressed her sideburns.

"You're looking for me?"

Zhao Wu'an's face turned red for a while, and he frowned tightly. "Can't find it. ”

Liao Niang looked at him quietly.

"I went back to Mobei, but there was no one there, and I couldn't even find the original camp, if it weren't for the burning and looting along the road......

"Not really. ”

Zhao Wu'an was stunned and raised his head.

"You won't be unaware of the name of the Iron Jacket. How could such an undefeated army, which was strictly disciplined and belonged directly to the second prince of the Leaf Creation Kingdom, Garan Anxulie, do such a thing?"

Zhao Wu'an wanted to cry without tears, gritted his teeth and said: "Because of this, I have always believed that you are not dead, no matter how many pursuits and killings have been behind you over the years, no matter what heavy burden I have on my back...... I always believe that you are alive. ”

"That's true. Liao Xiaoran said softly, "The reason why I have survived to this day is just looking forward to seeing you again and talking to you again like today." ”

Zhao Wu'an clenched his fists and gritted his teeth fiercely. Dai Lou Sangyu hurriedly wrapped his arms around his shoulders and gently touched his forehead like comforting an injured puppy.

"Those tents in Mobei, you don't have to worry. It wasn't supposed to be an inhabited place, and the residents probably withdrew to Kannai. Your former playmates, as well as the elders in the flag, have also survived well. "In the past 23 years, they have not only lived in the memories of you and Hu Buxi. ”

Zhao Wu'an frowned, unable to believe it: "What you said is true?"

"Of course, when did Liao Niang lie to you. Liao Xiaoran smiled softly.

Dailou Sangyu suddenly said: "Yes!"

Before the words fell, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly covered his mouth: "...... That's right. ”

Liao Xiaoran was not angry, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Sang Yu is not wrong." I do, ever lied to you about something. ”

Zhao Wu'an hurriedly shook his head: "It doesn't matter, even if Liao Niang didn't tell me, I would never hold a grudge against Liao Niang because of this......"

He paused, and then said, "Actually, the regent of the leaf maker has already told me something......

"Yuwen is lonely, what did he say?" Liao Xiaoran's face remained unchanged and asked lightly.

Zhao Wu'an hesitated for a moment, closed his eyes and said, "I know, Liao Niang, who are you waiting for so many years outside the Guan." I also know that that person will not come back. ”

Liao Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, his surprised expression was fleeting, and he smiled lightly: "It's okay." Of course, I also know that his spirit will always remain outside the gate and will not come back. ”

Zhao Wuan finally remembered.

The Mobei grassland where he grew up, across Helan Mountain to the north, can see Youzhou at a glance.

That was also in the early years, Li Jing and Su Changdi, who were heroes and heroes, almost devoted their whole lives to half of the country that they couldn't recover.

"Liao Niang...... What kind of relationship is it with them?" asked Zhao Wu'an worriedly.

"Big Dipper Seven Friends?"

"Yes. ”

After all, carrying this Luoshen sword box is like carrying the spirit of those seven people, carrying seven different embarrassing stories.

Zhao Wu'an always felt that he should be closer to them. Although by the time he actually took the box, five of the seven had already died.

Because of this, he wanted to know more about why Liao Niang, who raised him since childhood, fell in love with Li Jing.

The expression in Liao Xiaoran's eyes changed slightly.

"Li Jing is a remnant of the old Tang Dynasty, if you want to talk about him, it is better to talk about you first. ”

Zhao Wu'an was suddenly stunned, not understanding the deep meaning of her words.

Liao Xiaoran smiled gently: "Sang Yu also said before, I have something to hide from you, and since I have told her, it is time to tell you." It's about your background, and all the efforts we've made over the years to get to where we are today. ”

Zhao Wu'an was stiff, his face was pale, and his back was cold.

Dai Lou Sangyu leaned down and held his hand tightly.

————————

......

The sky is heavily cloudy.

A thunderclap sounded, and the black clouds that covered the entire sky seemed to be alive, and they pressed down on the land viciously.

Rain feet like numbness.

Thin lines of rain shrouded the silent valley, and there was no sound between heaven and earth except the dull thunder.

Dailou Sangyu was running in the mountains. She didn't care to put on her shoes, she stepped barefoot through puddles of stagnant water, panting, but she didn't stop.

The mountain road was very well kept, and there were almost no stones to stand on, but due to the rain, the originally flat mud suddenly became slippery, and it was less than half the way, and Dailou Sangyu had turned over several times.

A royal girl's Miao dress has long been covered with stains, and her wet hair washed by the rain is also full of mud marks.

But she didn't stop.

Finally, Dailou Sangyu ran to the end of the mountain road.

Further down there is a no-man's-land with mountains stretching out, but luckily there is no way to climb the cliffs.

Not far from her, a tombstone was silently bathed in the rain.

In front of the monument stands a thin figure, which looks like a lonely mountain.

didn't even have time to stop to catch his breath, Dailou Sangyu rushed over and hugged him from behind.

The rain hit Zhao Wu'an's body, and his black clothes were already wet through.

Tianyu swallowed a dull thunder, which gradually merged with Liao Xiaoran's words, echoing in his ears.

"The Great Song Dynasty is the making of leaves, and the making of leaves is the Great Song Dynasty. The three million households of the Song people in Mobei are also Ye people, and the four dynasties of Miao, Yewa and Tibet are allied, and it is also the alliance between the three kingdoms and the Song Dynasty. Back then, the nine masters of the two rivers and lakes worked together to kill the sword god Luo Jianqi, erasing all the evidence that the sword god had existed, but there was actually only one temple behind it. ”

"In the past hundred years, the open and secret battles and mutual attacks you have seen have affected the Ye and the Great Song Dynasty of the two dynasties, and from the very beginning, they have been brothers who are honest with each other. ”

"The reason why this secret, which has only been known to no more than ten people so far, has been meticulously executed for nearly a hundred years is that it is waiting for one person to appear. Although Luo Jianqi appeared, he appeared too early, which would inevitably lead to greater monstrous disasters. The two dynasties had no choice but to work together to wipe it out and wait for the opportunity to come. ”

"Twenty years have passed since Luo Jianqi's death, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun seem to have temporarily satisfied Qiang Liao's appetite, and in the past twenty years, we have not seen his actions. But everyone knows that peace is only temporary, and sooner or later Da Liao will wave his troops southward and swallow the entire Central Plains and the Western Regions into his belly. ”

"In order to resist the monstrous soldiers who will come sooner or later, and for the fate of tens of millions of Li people in the four dynasties, the Luo Shen Sword Box has been reactivated, and the person we chose is you. ”

"Your master will be the most talented martial arts wizard in the world, will be the face of a country full of wealth, your friend will be the lord of a country, or a hero of the sky, you will carry the flying sword red box that we have buried for this river and lake for 20 years, you will be able to learn the three religions, and become the most legendary figure in this river and lake for decades. ”

"In the same way, your future will also be tightly tied to this rope of destiny, together with the two courts. ”

"Live and die together. ”
