Chapter 64: The sword should be drawn at last
After the old man turned into the old locust tree spirit left, Zhou Jiujian and the three of them continued to hurry, and the subsequent mountain road journey could be described as calm, as if nothing really happened.
Zhou Jiujian was silent, they also deliberately bypassed the direction of Fang Cai Huaishu's manipulation of rattan to build a road, and walked for half a pillar of incense before turning back to the south, thinking that they should not bump into the door of others again.
For Lao Huai's request, although it was a trivial matter that could be easily done from his mouth, it was just a gesture, however, despite his repeated requests, Zhou Jiujian still categorically refused.
In the heart of the young man, he is naturally particularly disgusted, as the famous saying of the Confucian sage: Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself.
No matter how trivial what he asked for, the boy never wanted to do it again. For such a reason, since it was against his heart, no matter how righteous and awe-inspiring that thing was, no matter how beneficial it was to himself, Zhou Jiujian was unwilling to do it.
Liu Yue's last sentence was even more correct, they are sword cultivators! They are the most lethal and unreasonable monks in this world! Under the sword, right and wrong are at ease in their hearts, and no one can control what they think and do, unless they die!
In fact, what the old Taoist Fang Qingran did before, although in the end they produced good results, still left a little shadow on him.
Therefore, there is probably a reason why he would refuse so simply and decisively today.
However, to his relief, Liu Yue and Xixi actually supported him, and they didn't make him a lonely person after all.
Come to think of it, the boy actually didn't do anything wrong, after all, deep down, he didn't want to be that bad guy. This is not a good thing after all, and it is possible to unconsciously leave a hidden scourge to oneself, after all, Shimien fights against rice, and people's hearts are tricky, and no one knows whether there is a ghost and demon hidden in that person's heart.
The old man said yes, the young man's move, he was afraid that the road ahead would be narrower and narrower. It's just that the road ahead is narrow, and it's just relatively speaking, all in all, there are several smooth roads in front of me, but I don't know if it's better to bury a pit or dig a trap on the top, I don't know the details, and I'm not very relieved.
The three of them walked for a while.
Xixi regained her chirping temperament, like a sparrow, talking non-stop.
Zhou Jiujian suddenly looked at Liu Yue and said, "Like him, if he is integrated with the mountains and rivers of this Chaotic Cloud Mountain Range, then what is his realm?"
Liu Yue frowned, sensing the abundant aura in this mountain, and then replied: "Very strong, the aura in this mountain is very strong, if he can control eighty percent, it is already equivalent to half a sword saint." ”
"Shhhh
Is the strength of half a Sword Saint so strong!
Even if it's ten of his Zhou Jiujian, going up to fight against that old locust tree, it's not enough to see, right?
Zhou Jiujian blinked and looked at her: "You said you were sure before?"
Xi Xi glanced at him and said disdainfully: "What are you talking about! My young lady said that she is sure, then she is naturally sure! Hmph, where is it like you!"
The boy opened his mouth, then was speechless.
Liu Yue looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "If you let me drag him for a while, it will be no problem for a while, so I said, I am sure." ”
She rarely showed a cute and cute look.
Xixi raised her eyes and said, "Hmph, look!"
Zhou Jiujian touched his nose.
Liu Yue looked at him and said, "You...... Scared?"
When Zhou Jiujian heard this, he naturally shook his head, looked at the two of them, thought about it, and said: "I'm not afraid, it's just that I feel that it's like me, but it's really not very useful, just like what Xi Xi said before, it can't help......"
At the end of the words, the young man's tone was a little weak, but he was a little annoyed.
Xi Xi grinned, delicate as a flower and said: "Ha! You finally have self-knowledge, miss, you see, this time it was not Xi Xi who provoked it first!"
Liu Yue glanced at her lightly, then looked at Zhou Jiujian again, and comforted softly: "It's nothing, Jiujian, you...... Very important. ”
The girl doesn't actually know how to comfort people, just a few words that are concise and to the point.
The boy looked at her, then smiled and said, "Thank you." ”
Liu Yue shook her head, but looked at him with a firm face, under Xi Xi's dumbfounded watch, grabbed the young man's hand, looked at him, and said seriously: "What I said is true, if there is no you, in that ghost mansion, I will ...... Dead!"
Liu Yue said seriously, with a pair of eyes with a slightly strange light.
Zhou Jiujian was stunned, looking at her sincere eyes, his heart suddenly became hot, and the little negative emotions that had just been born had disappeared in an instant.
Suddenly, there was another exclamation in a very high tone: "What, Miss, you almost died before?!"
The young man's eardrums were a little bulging, his face was full of discomfort, and he just turned his head to look at Xi Xixi, but saw that she had already roared at him: "Hey! What are you doing? How are you acting as a guard? I tell you, if something goes wrong with her, I want you to look good! Hmph, when the time comes, not only me, but also Mr. Sword Armor, and many other people will kill you!"
Zhou Jiujian was stunned by her call.
Liu Yue glared at her and said, "Xixi!"
When Xi Xi heard this, she was a little aggrieved, her eyes were a little sparkling, and she said, "Miss, Xi Xi is not talking for you!"
Liu Yue naturally knew that Xixi was thinking about her, but at that time, it was her own mood problem, and it was not about the teenager at all, not only that, but he also stayed by her side for this reason, entangled with the evil ghost for a long time, and finally almost lost his life.
Liu Yue looked at Xixi, and then said softly: "You don't understand the situation at that time, it was my problem, and in the end, it almost implicated him." ”
"Really?" Xixi's eyes widened, a little surprised.
Liu Yue nodded and said with a smile: "Really." ”
Zhou Jiujian wanted to say something, but found that Xi Xi looked at him again, and then said, "You, don't speak!"
The boy was stunned, then shut up.
Okay, okay, it's all up to her.
......
The three of them walked again, slanting westward.
According to the itinerary, the three of them should almost walk to the bottom of the mountain.
In the mountains and forests, suddenly the fog gradually rose.
Zhou Jiujian paused, and then looked around in confusion.
Xi Xi looked at him and said strangely, "What's wrong?"
"Something is wrong...... the person who spoke was not a teenager, but Liu Yue, and I saw that she was also looking around, with a puzzled look on her face.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Xixi asked, but she had a big heart, and she didn't feel any changes around her at all, at most, it seemed to be foggy?
Liu Yue shook her head lightly and said, "It's not clear." ”
"Be careful!" this time, the boy reminded him in a low voice.
Liu Yue nodded.
Xi Xi looked at Zhou Jiujian curiously and said, "Ah, is it difficult, is it your intuition?"
Zhou Jiujian looked at her with a wry smile, and really didn't know how to explain the feeling in his heart to her, so he simply nodded and shook his head, and said, "It may be, but I don't know very well." ”
When Xi Xi heard this, her beautiful face twitched, and she didn't speak, I don't know if she thought that the young man was perfunctory to her.
The three of them continued to walk forward, and the more they walked, the more they felt the fog, and the distant sunset was faint, as if it had been obscured again. Liu Yue and Zhou Jiujian secretly sensed the changes in the aura of the surrounding mountains and rivers, but they didn't find anything unusual, as if this sudden mist was born naturally.
The two of them were silent on the surface, and they didn't even see anything unusual, but secretly, they were on guard, and they were ready to go.
I have to say that in the days that the two of them have been together, they have cultivated a considerable tacit understanding, and the transmission between glances has already made them know the meaning of their hearts, just like a pair of siblings.
However, looking at the young man's ordinary appearance, and then looking at Liu Yue's icy jade face, it is impossible to associate the two of them as a pair of sisters and brothers.
The difference is really big.
Another half mile.
Suddenly, the three of them stopped.
Then, Zhou Jiujian and Liu Yue, one drew his sword, and the other sacrificed a flying sword.
And not far in front of the three of them is an old locust.
The branches are luxuriant, covering half of the barren forest, which can be described as a towering tree.
I saw that standing in front of the old locust was naturally the old man, with a smile on his face, standing with his hands in his hands.
The old man looked at the three people who came to him, and then drew his sword and stopped, and smiled slowly: "Hahaha, three little friends, let's meet again!"
The young man looked at the scene in front of him, and only felt that it was so familiar.
Sure enough......
He and Liu Yue glanced at each other, and the girl pulled Xixi behind her, and then said without hesitation: "Fight!"
Zhou Jiujian nodded lightly, then turned his head again, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "This is, Your Excellency's hands and feet?"
The old man shook his head and said, "Little friend's words are wrong, the old man's move is also for your good! How can you miss an opportunity in vain, isn't it too unwise?"
Zhou Jiujian sneered when he heard this, and said, "Heh, what a good one for our good, what a chance! So, don't we have to thank Your Excellency?"
When the old man heard this, he waved his hand and smiled: "Hahaha, there is no need, the old man and the three little friends are just taking what they need, so there is no need to be so grateful to Dade." ”
I'm still grateful to Dade!
Zhou Jiujian stopped speaking and fell silent.
The old man looked at him, saw that he was no longer talking, thought that he had been acquiesced, and said, "Okay, three, let's go to the old man's mansion and sit down first!"
So saying, he wanted to come and invite them.
Suddenly, a white light flashed!
There's a sword coming out!
