Chapter 386: Old Love (Part I)

Canglong and Lan Gu were talking about matters in another place, while Fang Ying and Hongyun were talking happily here. Fang Ying is very enthusiastic, especially when she has made new friends, and Hongyun is as empathetic as ever, she can understand his mind just by having a relationship with Canglong before, and Fang Ying might as well let it go.

The two talked for a while, and unconsciously laughed, Fang Ying smiled and said: "Sister Hongyun, you are really interesting, you actually '' those big men in Jifeng Restaurant......

Hongyun also responded with a smile: "It's okay, but in the end, it was Brother Canglong who came forward to 'settle' them, I didn't expect them to be so calm and want to do ......"

"Then Brother Canglong taught them a good lesson......" Fang Ying continued, "In this way, Brother Canglong's skills are quite powerful, no wonder Master wants him to escort me home......

"Brother Canglong is more than that, if you personally said that you have seen his skills at the Jishi Conference, you will definitely be dumbfounded, Sister Ying-" Hongyun was also very easy-going, and directly called Fang Ying "Sister Ying".

Fang Ying smiled and nodded, looking at Hongyun's friendly appearance, Fang Ying couldn't help but ask, "Hey, by the way, Sister Hongyun, how did you meet Brother Canglong, why did you come with him all the way?"

"Well...... Hongyun didn't know how to answer, but said softly, "We...... It's just that I know it in Jifeng Restaurant, but because I'm looking for someone, and Brother Canglong is likely to know the whereabouts of this person, so ......"

The two of them were talking. Lan Gu and Canglong walked back at this time, and it seemed that they had finished talking.

"Brother Canglong and Senior Lan are here-" When Hongyun didn't know how to reply, the return of Lan Gu and Canglong just helped him out. Hongyun looked to the side and said.

Fang Ying saw that Lan Gu was back, and she didn't continue to chat with Hongyun any longer. Lan Gu walked in front of Fang Ying, and then said slowly: "I have already explained the matter to Canglong Daxia, and he will be responsible for escorting you back to Yixian Gate, Ying'er." Ying'er, you yourself have to be careful along the way, you haven't seen much of the world, you don't understand the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes, if there is anything. Just talk to the dragon hero......"

Fang Ying listened, nodded at first, but thought that she was about to leave. Some reluctantly said, "Master, Ying'er is like this...... Gone?" Thinking that she was about to leave Aunt Lan, who had raised her for eighteen years, Fang Ying said sadly with some tears.

When Lan Gu saw it, she didn't have a smile on her face. But the tone was very soft: "Silly boy." Besides, after 18 years of waiting, you can finally go home, what is there to be sad about?"

Fang Ying was still reluctant, she continued: "Then when I return to Yixian Gate and return to my father, Master, you will have a ...... one day Will you come to see me?"

Lan Gu was silent for a long time. She seemed to be thinking about something. Then, she finally spoke slowly, "I hope so." If you have the opportunity......" is a very simple sentence, but when Lan Gu said it, there seemed to be a faint pain.

After all, Lan Gu knew very well that although she was reluctant to raise Fang Ying for eighteen years, she always hated his father Fang Zhongtian. However, what surprised Lan Gu herself was that he, who should have hated Fang Zhongtian all his life, never had a trace of hatred for Fang Ying, and had spent eighteen years of hard work to raise her to adulthood, she couldn't believe it, and she didn't know why......

Lan Gu thought for a long time, looked up at the sky, and then said: "The hour is not early, there is no place to stay in this radius of a few miles, if you don't leave, you may have to sleep in the wilderness...... Canglong Hero, I hope you can do a good job of what this seat has told you, and Ying'er will hand it over to you......"

"Don't worry, Senior Lan, I'll send Miss Fang back to Yixian Gate safely in the next meeting-" Canglong also replied confidently.

This time they were really leaving, Canglong and Hongyun were about to go down the mountain, but Fang Ying kept looking back at Lan Gu. However, Lan Gu didn't look at Fang Ying's eyes again, but only left Fang Ying with a silent back. She didn't want to look back, maybe she didn't want to see Fang Ying's eyes, she was afraid that if she saw it, she would be even more reluctant to let her go......

And Fang Ying also looked at Lan Gu with tears in her eyes, but her footsteps followed Canglong and Hongyun down the mountain, one step, two steps...... The pace is very slow, and this mountainside also walks for a long time...... Finally, after Lan Gu's back disappeared, and she could no longer see the entrance of the Tomb Sect, Fang Ying wiped away her tears and embarked on the journey home with Canglong Hongyun wholeheartedly......

Lan Gu is indeed right, the hour is not early, and now it is the cold winter season, and the sky is dark when it is dark. Before I completely walked out of the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, the sky was already dark. It is full of rocks, trees and grass, and it is difficult to see the mountain road even if you have good eyesight.

Canglong found a random wooden stick, and then lit a fire—this is an object that can be lit for the time being.

The flame of the fire stick was reflected on the iron mask of the dragon, and the face of the mask was extremely clear. Fang Ying watched from the side, very curious, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Canglong, why do you always wear a mask, don't you feel tired?"

While looking for a way out of the mountain, Canglong responded calmly: "Canglong was originally a mask-carrying, and he never showed his true face......"

"But you're not a real Canglong hero...... Fang Ying was also very sure that the Canglong in front of him was an "impostor", so he also said calmly, "I heard Master say about Canglong Hero-Canglong Hero's martial arts and chivalrous heart, he is a well-deserved chivalrous man in the world." But that was eighty or ninety years ago, even if you are still alive in the world today, it is impossible to be as young as you, Brother Canglong. ”

"Since you think I'm fake, then why do you still call me 'Brother Canglong'?" Canglong asked casually.

"It's nothing, I just think it's kind to call you like this......" Fang Ying smiled and continued to answer, "Moreover, doesn't Sister Hongyun always call you 'Brother Canglong'?"

Canglong didn't say anything more, and continued to explore the road with a torch.

But Fang Ying still seems to have unfinished questions. She continued to ask: "I think Master, she should also know that Brother Canglong, you are not a real Canglong hero, but why does she still ask Brother Canglong to escort me?"

Canglong paused, not knowing how to answer for a while. It seems to be something hidden. He thought for a long time, and then replied: "I had a relationship with Senior Lan before, because of some things, I promised to help her do one thing, and she arranged this task for me. As for the reason, I don't really know......"

Canglong said this, in fact, the reason can still be known. Just now, Lan Gu secretly instructed him other things, and Canglong always kept it in mind, always paying attention to the danger that might come at any time......

Canglong and Fang Ying said as they walked. And Red Cloud silently followed. It was already completely dark, and it was difficult to see the way down the mountain, even with a torch.

Seeing this, Canglong shook his head and said, "It seems that Senior Lan is right. We're probably going to be sleeping in the wilderness today. It's just that this time of the cold winter is coming. I'm afraid I'll freeze to death if I sleep in the wilderness like this...... Really, if it weren't for the 'Jishi Conference' and the delay of so much time, I wouldn't have stayed here at all......"

"If only I could find a cave entrance, it should be warmer......" Red Cloud said casually.

However, for some reason, after Hongyun finished saying this. A trace of pain suddenly flashed in Canglong's heart, a pain of memory. And the same is true of Red Cloud. She seems to feel the same way as Canglong. But the feeling was only for a moment, and then it was gone......

"Ahh

"What's the matter, Miss Fang?" Canglong is now escorting Fang Ying back to the mountain, and he can't let Fang Ying go out of his way, so Fang Ying shouted, Canglong was slightly nervous, and thought that Fang Ying had met something.

"Yes...... There are snakes—" Fang Ying said as she tried to calm herself.

Canglong held the torch and looked, and sure enough, in the direction of Fang Ying, a rare ice-colored long snake slowly swam. I saw the ice snake moving its body, staring at Canglong and the others, as if attracted by the firelight here.

Although Fang Ying has adopted a lot of animals, she still has a trace of fear of snakes. Red Cloud didn't know what to do, and both girls seemed to be a little afraid of snakes.

Seeing this, Canglong walked in front of the ice snake in a few steps, and then slowly squatted down.

Hongyun knew Canglong's skills, and when he saw Canglong squatting down, he thought that Canglong was going to kill the snake directly.

However, Canglong didn't do this, but whispered something in front of the ice snake. The Ice Serpent seemed to understand, then turned around and left.

This scene surprised Fang Ying and Hongyun a lot, but they didn't expect Canglong to just make a sound and chase the snake away. Fang Ying seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Canglong, do you understand snake language?"

"Snake language?" Hongyun listened to Fang Ying's words, and became even more incredulous, "Are you so sure?"

Fang Ying nodded and continued, "Although I don't understand snake language, I know how small animals communicate with each other. If I'm not mistaken, Brother Canglong, you really said the snake language just now, so you persuaded the snake to leave. ”

"It's pretty powerful, I actually know that I'm talking about snakes......" Canglong stood up and said slowly.

Hongyun probably knew, but he still had doubts in his heart, so he couldn't help asking: "Strange, isn't the snake supposed to hibernate in the soil in this cold season, how can it appear here?"

Canglong smiled, and then said: "There are also many types of snakes, among which there is a kind called 'Chill of the Cold', which is born with cold condensation and does not need to hibernate. The one just now should be, maybe our firelight attracted it...... But don't worry, I just told it that there won't be any more ice snakes......"

After hearing this, Hongyun couldn't help but praise: "I really didn't expect that Brother Canglong, you would be so good at studying snakes-"

"It's okay, I've had some contact with snakes before...... Canglong replied casually.

However, it was this that made Hongyun have some suspicions about Canglong's true identity......

Feeling the darkness of the mountain road, the three of them finally found an abandoned hole. The hole is not big, not too deep, and it's warm enough for them to sleep here for a night. Luckily for them, it's freezing cold on the Black Mountain, and the entrance to the cave happens to be a good habitat.

There weren't too many things on the cold winter mountain, so Canglong and Hongyun found some wild fruits and vegetables that could be eaten not far outside, and ate some for dinner that night. A fire was lit in the entrance of the cave, and the three of them sat in the middle and talked about each other for a long time. However, because they had to hurry tomorrow, the three of them didn't say much, Hongyun told Fang Ying about the events at the Jishi Conference, and Fang Ying recalled his life in the Tomb Sect in the past eighteen years. Not long after speaking, the three of them suddenly felt sleepy, so Fang Ying and Hongyun even hugged each other and slept on one side, and they could also keep each other warm, while Canglong could only sleep alone next to the entrance of the cave, while using internal force to maintain his body temperature, while guarding against possible accidents at night......

After a long, long time, the flames in the cave have long been extinguished, and from the entrance of the cave, you can see the cold winter scenery in the mountains. At some point, Fang Ying suddenly opened her eyes. She had a dream in which she returned to Yixianmen and met her father...... However, perhaps it was the cold of the night, Fang Ying was somewhat awakened by the cold. When she woke up, she found that Hongyun beside her was still sleeping peacefully.

Fang Ying sat up, afraid that Hongyun would also freeze, so she moved the blanket to Hongyun. However, her hand unconsciously touched Hongyun's face - to Fang Ying's incredible, Hongyun's face looked unusually cold, Fang Ying was a little scared, and thought that Hongyun was frozen and faint, so she hurriedly covered Hongyun's body with all the blankets. However, what reassured Fang Ying was that Hongyun's breathing was still very stable, and she was relieved that Hongyun was just feeling cold.

Fang Ying, who woke up, couldn't sleep for a while, she looked at the dragon next to the entrance of the cave, she didn't have anything on her body, and leaned against the rock at the entrance of the cave with her hands together.

When Fang Ying saw it, she thought that Canglong would definitely freeze to death like this, so she wanted to find something to cover Canglong's body. However, when she walked in front of Canglong, she found a strange scene-

Although Canglong was wearing a mask, the whole person was constantly shaking his head, and his closed eyes also showed a panicked look, as if Canglong was having a nightmare.

If it was just shaking his head, what Fang Ying didn't expect was that Canglong was still muttering softly while shaking his head, as if he was talking in a dream: "Don't ...... Leave ......"

Fang Ying was a little worried, but also a little curious, she listened closely, only to hear Canglong keep saying, "Don't leave me...... Don't leave me ......"

When Fang Ying heard this, she couldn't help but have a premonition in her heart - Canglong must have had memories of emotional pain.

Fang Ying can imagine that now Canglong's painful expression when he had a nightmare, seeing that Canglong was still wearing a mask when he slept, although Canglong said before that he didn't show his true face, Fang Ying was still curious and wanted to reach out to uncover Canglong's mask, and now was a good opportunity......

However, just as Fang Ying was about to reach out to uncover Canglong's mask, Canglong seemed to wake up and suddenly grabbed Fang Ying's hand with one hand.

Being grabbed by a strong hand, Fang Ying was nervous at first, she wanted to break free, but Canglong's hand was very tight, but Fang Ying couldn't get rid of it.

Canglong gradually opened his eyes, Fang Ying thought that Canglong had woken up, but she heard Canglong say: "You didn't leave me, you came back......"

Listening to the tone, it seemed that Canglong dreamed of the person he had been expecting, grabbed Fang Ying's hand, and dimly mistook Fang Ying for the person in his mind.

However, Canglong's pupils gradually changed, and the outline in front of him gradually became clear - Canglong really woke up this time. Canglong woke up, and the first thing he saw was Fang Ying's face, and he was still holding her hand. Canglong subconsciously let go of his hand, then sat up, and then asked urgently, "Fang ...... Miss Fang, why are you?"

Fang Ying was caught by Canglong just now, and her face couldn't help but turn red, but she couldn't see clearly under the darkness.

Fang Ying was also very nervous, and when she saw Canglong waking up, she immediately explained, "No...... Nothing, just seeing...... Brother Canglong, you're sleeping here alone and it's cold, so I wanted to come and take a look......"

Canglong tried to clear his mind, after all, he was indeed asleep just now, and he really had a nightmare. But after waking up, Canglong fiddled with his iron mask, he wanted to confirm whether Fang Ying had uncovered his mask and seen his true face when he was asleep...... (To be continued......)
