Chapter 66: The Weight of Life
In the early morning, the sun gently shines on the earth.
Lian Xiangyu stretched, she leaned on the pillow with a red face, thinking back to the last night when he saved herself.
How nice it would be if he could sleep with his arms in his arms?
She jumped out of her door and knocked on Ling Quanfei's door, knocking for a long time, but there was no movement inside. Her heart tightened, and she slammed the door open, her eyes suddenly filled with tears, the room was empty, even the bed was neat and clean. "Bastard! Ran away by yourself again!"
It was not for nothing that Lian Xiangyu thought so, because since she left Fenghua Town that night, Ling Quanfei had tried to get rid of her several times, but in the end she always found her. I don't know if she found him, or if he deliberately let her find it.
Lian Xiangyu thought that Ling Quanfei deliberately left herself alone this time, but this time she was wrong.
When he ran to the front yard to ask Lao Li if he knew where Ling Quanfei had gone, she found that Ling Quanfei was not elsewhere, he was on the roof, sticking pieces of rubble with mud.
Seeing that he didn't leave, Lian Xiangyu was overjoyed, and saw that he was dressed in white but mending the dirt and dirt on the house, and her embarrassed appearance made Lian Xiangyu smile and bend over.
Ling Quanfei lowered his head on the roof and made up for the roof, and suddenly said, "Scold others for being bastards early in the morning." β
Lian Xiangyu chuckled, "Did you hear that?"
Ling Quanfei turned his head and said, "You said it so loudly that even Uncle Li heard it." β
Old Li Tou was under the house and mud, he shook his hand and smiled: "No, no, I didn't hear the old man." β
Lian Xiangyu smiled, this Uncle Li also understands women so well.
Ling Quanfei jumped off the roof, as light as a feather. He said to Lao Li: "Uncle Li, after wiping all this mud, the roof will be repaired." β
Lao Li Tou smiled: "Good young man, thank you so much." β
Ling Quanfei smiled slightly and said, "You don't want my silver, you can't stop me from helping you repair the roof." β
Old Li smiled, revealing what few teeth he had left.
The mountain is more than 20 zhang high, and the mountains on both sides squeeze the sky into a line. Nor can the sun shine throughout.
Lian Xiangyu looked up at the sky and couldn't help sighing: "It's really beautiful." He saw that there were several huge gravels on the road in such a beautiful place, which must have been pushed down by the criminal boy last night, and he couldn't help but feel cold when he thought of this.
Ling Quanfei walked in front of himself, not paying attention to these huge stones, and asked Lian Xiangyu, "What are you bringing me here for?"
Ling Quanfei said: "I didn't bring you here, you came with yourself." β
Lian Xiangyu said angrily: "You, why do you always have such an attitude towards me? Where did I provoke you?"
Ling Quanfei turned his head and smiled: "Okay, then you can go, don't follow me anymore." β
Lian Xiangyu pointed at him and said, "You, you, do you think I really dare not leave?"
Ling Quanfei didn't speak, turned around and continued walking, as if he was looking for something again.
Lian Xiangyu said angrily: "Okay! Then I'll leave! Don't regret it!"
Ling Quanfei walked a few more steps, and there was no one behind him, but Ling Quanfei sighed and continued to look for something without care.
He's looking for the sword, the sword that saved his life!
This road is not short, the mountain is so huge, where can I find that thing that is no more than three feet long?
But he still had to find it.
The sun slowly moved due south, and the sunlight slipped in through the gap in the sky.
Shining on the rock wall of the mountain, something was shining.
A smile appeared on the corner of Ling Quanfei's mouth, and he turned over and walked to the sword. He didn't see it clearly late last night, this sword is made of steel, unbroken, the hilt is black, and he knows that it must be extraordinary at a glance. How could anyone have left this good sword here?
Ling Quanfei looked at this sword, this sword was extremely sharp, and it was inserted into the stone mountain without leaving a gap, as if it had grown on this stone wall from the beginning.
"Hah!
Ling Quanfei was actually frightened, but Pian Xiangyu bent down to look at the sword.
Ling Quanfei said, "Aren't you leaving?"
Lian Xiangyu smiled: "Isn't it too cheap for you to leave like this?"
Ling Quanfei said, "Then what do you want?"
Lian Xiangyu said: "It's noon, I'm hungry, I have to let you invite me to a good meal!"
Ling Quanfei shook his head helplessly.
Lian Xiangyu originally wanted to leave, but she regretted it soon after she left, and ran back secretly, Ling Quanfei was firmly attracted by this sword, so naturally she didn't notice her.
Lian Xiangyu said: "Is this a good sword?"
Ling Quanfei ignored her, just lowered his head and bent down to find something on the ground.
Lian Xiangyu asked again, "This is a good sword, why did that person throw it?"
Ling Quanfei said: "Take your feet away." β
Lian Xiangyu asked curiously, "Why? Do you want to see my feet?"
Ling Quanfei ignored her, and with a slight flick, he almost dialed Lian Xiangyu, who was so angry that he kicked at him, who knew that Ling Quanfei's figure flashed, and that kick was empty, Ling Quanfei had an extra scabbard in his hand, a black scabbard.
Ling Quanfei blew the ash on the scabbard, looked at it, and nodded.
Lian Xiangyu also squinted at it and said, "Isn't this just an ordinary scabbard?
Ling Quanfei said: "Here you go, of course you can't see anything." β
Lian Xiangyu snorted: "Then what do you say you see?"
Ling Quanfei said: "This sword belongs to the Gang of Ten Thousand Armies. β
Lian Xiangyu was stunned, and she asked, "Aren't they the ones we are looking for?" This sword is here, does it mean that they have come to you?"
Ling Quanfei said: "We were originally going to find the people of the Wanjun Gang, but now we don't have to. β
Lian Xiangyu was puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Ling Quanfei put down his sword sheath and said, "Have you forgotten what that impermanence ghost said last night?"
Lian Xiangyu said: "By the way, I forgot to ask, why did he say that you ruined Nangong He's good deeds?"
Ling Quanfei looked at this line of heaven and said, "It seems that we went the wrong way from the beginning, we should have gone to Nangong He!"
Lian Xiangyu said: "So, the Wanjun Gang has nothing to do with the kid you said?"
Ling Quanfei said: "I can't say that it doesn't matter, I can only say that the people of the Wanjun Gang don't want him to die." β
Lian Xiangyu said: "Does that mean that Nangong He wants him to die?"
Ling Quanfei shook his head: "But I can't believe that the owner of Jingyun Mountain Villa would be in the company of people like Nangong He. β
Lian Xiangyu smiled: "This is called knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, you think he is a good person, but he is not a good person!"
Ling Quanfei snorted coldly: "I never said that he was good. β
But he always understood Jingyun's character, and his impatience and righteousness were definitely not pretended. No matter how a person disguises, there is always no way to disguise his eyes, his son Jing Lin is indeed dead, but is it the people of the Wanjun Gang who did it?
The answer to everything can only be found on your own.
Lian Xiangyu picked up the scabbard that Ling Quanfei had dropped, and looked at it carefully, she really couldn't see anything.
Ling Quanfei turned around and walked on the road full of broken stones, and Lian Xiangyu asked softly, "This is leaving?"
Ling Quanfei said, "Otherwise?"
Lian Xiangyu shook the jet-black scabbard in his hand: "Since this sword saved you, don't you want to take it away?" even if it's not for yourself, if you meet him in the future, it's better to return it to him." β
Ling Quanfei smiled and said, "If you like it, you can take it away." β
Lian Xiangyu was unhappy, she could hear the sarcasm in Ling Quanfei's words, and she was a little unconvinced, and said, "Take it!"
She stretched out her jade hand, grasped the hilt of the sword, and pulled it out with a clenched tooth, but the sword did not move. Lian Xiangyu is not an ordinary woman, although her kung fu is not shown in her fists and feet, but her strength does not belong to ordinary men, but she can't pull out this sword.
Lian Xiangyu tried several more times, and the sword really seemed to grow on top of a stone mountain.
She looked at Ling Quanfei with doubts, and Ling Quanfei smiled: "Don't look at me, I can't pull out this sword." β
Lian Xiangyu was still unconvinced: "How do you know that you can't pull it out if you haven't tried it?"
Ling Quanfei sighed: "Whether I can pull it out or not, this sword is no longer just a sword. The one who abandoned the sword gave all the weight of life to the sword, and my hands are full of ordinary strength, how can I pull it out?"
Lian Xiangyu seemed to understand whether she understood or not, but she also understood that this was a good sword that was unparalleled in the world, and it was a pity that it was thrown away like this, so she said again: "Do you like this sword?"
Ling Quanfei turned around and said with a smile: "Don't I have a sword that is unparalleled in the world?" He gently touched the hilt of the sword with his hand, this sword with a whole body of vermilion.
Lian Xiangyu said: "Your sword is also unparalleled in the world, but why haven't I seen you pull him out?"
Ling Quanfei sighed softly: "Every sword carries the weight of life, how can it be pulled out anytime and anywhere? β
He said it to Lian Xiangyu, and it seems to be for Jian. Lian Xiangyu chuckled, and also forgot about the sword inserted in the mountain stone wall, and her feelings for Ling Quanfei seemed to be a little stronger.
Lian Xiangyu said, "Where are we going?"
Ling Quanfei smiled: "Of course, I went to find Nangong He." β
Although Lian Xiangyu already had a vague answer in her heart, she also understood that Ling Quanfei had never been the kind of person who wandered aimlessly, but when she heard that she was going to find Nangong He, she couldn't help but tremble in shock.
Lian Xiangyu said softly: "Are you really going to find him?"
Ling Quanfei didn't speak, and continued to walk forward, he always had a direction, as if he had never been lost.
Lian Xiangyu followed him and said, "You never told me what that kid was like, is he worth it?"
Ling Quanfei smiled: "He is indeed a child, but he is much more powerful than many adults, his eyes are very cold, but he can't hide the fire in his heart, he is never greedy for life and afraid of death......"
Lian Xiangyu couldn't help but interrupt: "You said him so well, why do you want to help him? β
Ling Quanfei sighed slightly: "Because he lost his way, his heart knot made him lose his way." β
Lian Xiangyu said: "What is his heart knot?"
Ling Quanfei looked at her bright and clear eyes and said, "I don't know what his heart knot is, I hope it can be untied as soon as possible." β
Lian Xiangyu looked at Ling Quanfei's side face, as if she was stupid, and muttered, "Do you also have a knot?"
Ling Quanfei smiled and said nothing, but Lian Xiangyu's face suddenly turned red, she had just said what she wanted.
Night had fallen, but the streets were brightly lit.
There will never be a shortage of wine in this tavern, and as long as there is no shortage of alcohol, there will never be a shortage of people who drink alcohol.
There was only one drinker in this tavern, but he didn't like to drink.
Jiang Chuanhai's face was slightly drunk, and he was already six or seven points drunk, but he still continued to ask for wine.
"Shopkeeper, another altar!"
The shopkeeper's white and chubby middle-aged man, with a pair of bright eyes, made him exquisite in this industry, and the shopkeeper persuaded: "Guest officer, you have drunk a lot today, this wine, if you drink it at this time, I am afraid that if you drink it again, the taste will be bitter." β
Jiang Chuanhai asked drunkenly, "Really?"
The shopkeeper said: "Really guest officer, you see that this wine is almost drunk, why don't I help you go upstairs to rest?"
Jiang Chuanhai smiled: "You think I'm drunk?"
The shopkeeper said: "Guest officer, you have the amount of rivers and seas, isn't this few jars of wine like drinking water to you?"
Jiang Chuanhai's eyes seemed to become hollow, and he only looked at the wine in the bowl. There was a reflection of himself in the wine, and he had never been so out of shape, and he had never drunk in decades.
He muttered, "Wine is a good thing..."
Yesterday he left behind his sword and all his things, and today he picked up the wine and picked up himself.
Was the man in the bowl himself?, and he burst into tears, two lines of crystal tears sliding down his iron-cold cheeks.
He wiped a tear with his hand, licked his finger with his tongue, what did it taste like? He had never tasted it, he had never shed a tear. He had never shed only blood, but after a day he stopped bleeding, and his hands were covered with more blood, other people's blood.
Jiang Chuanhai fell asleep on the table, sleeping like a child, just like a child with nightmares.
The sky is already bright, and the sunlight filters through the layers of window screens to become softer.
Jiang Chuanhai found himself lying on a soft bed, and he didn't have time to think about why he was here, and the headache had already told him the answer.
"How much alcohol did I drink?"
He sat up slightly, sad that he couldn't remember how much he drank, let alone why he drank, but remembered that he kept drinking one bowl after another.
Although he had an unbearable headache, he still held on, he walked downstairs slowly, the shopkeeper seemed to have been waiting, and the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Is the guest officer sleeping comfortably?"
How can it be comfortable?
Jiang Chuanhai smiled and smiled bitterly.
The shopkeeper said, "Guest, breakfast has been prepared for you, and I will serve it to you." β
Jiang Chuanhai said: "Breakfast? But I didn't let you prepare breakfast for me." β
The shopkeeper smiled: "It's not you, it's your friend who asked me to prepare it for you." β
"Friend?" Following the direction of the shopkeeper's finger, Jiang Chuanhai saw a monk on a table by the door, the monk was not tall, and judging from the back, he should be a small monk.
Jiang Chuanhai walked around his front and looked at it, and sure enough, it was a little monk! The little monk was closing his eyes and chanting.
Jiang Chuanhai said: "Little master, where have you and I seen it?"
The little monk did not speak, but still recited the scriptures. Jiang Chuanhai also listened curiously, but he couldn't understand what the little monk was reading.
The shopkeeper suddenly greeted: "Guest officer, the meal is here!"
The shopkeeper stood in front of the table and placed two bowls of somen noodles on the table of the two of them.
The little monk suddenly stopped chanting, and said with a smile: "Thank you shopkeeper, start eating!" I don't know when the little monk took a pair of chopsticks and picked up the noodles for a meal.
Jiang Chuanhai asked again: "Little master, you..."
Before he finished speaking, the little monk said: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, the noodles must be eaten as soon as possible, if you are slow, you can only eat noodles and lumps." β
Jiang Chuanhai only felt inexplicable, but he also had a feeling of hunger in his stomach, so he also picked up chopsticks and ate them.
The little monk wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Amitabha, sure enough, the best thing in the world is noodles." β
Jiang Chuanhai saw that the little monk licked the bowl cleaner than the wash, and the little monk became more and more interesting. But before Jiang Chuanhai could ask, the little monk actually got up and walked to the door of the store, and Jiang Chuanhai immediately stood up and said, "Little master stay!"
The little monk really stopped, and only listened to him say slowly: "What else is the donor's business?"
yes, what the hell was the matter with me stopping him?
Jiang Chuanhai said: "I don't know what the little master's law name is?"
The little monk said: "It's strange, it's strange. β
Jiang Chuanhai said: "What's strange?"
The little monk said, "I didn't say a word to you, but why do you ask my Dharma name, isn't it strange?"
Jiang Chuanhai was stunned, and it was not strange at all, but it became strange when the little monk said it.
The little monk said again: "Since the donor is fine, the little monk will leave." With that, the little monk stepped out of the tavern.
Jiang Chuanhai also chased out, but when he saw people coming and going on the street, there was no trace of the little monk, and he couldn't help but secretly admire the little monk's style.
Jiang Chuanhai asked the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper only said: "The little master stayed at the door of the store early in the morning, and said that he would wait for a person who lived in the store, I thought that there was only one guest officer who lived in the store yesterday, and he specially instructed me to make two bowls of noodles, guest officer, isn't he your friend?"
Jiang Chuanhai smiled helplessly, it seems that he was blackmailed by this little monk for breakfast. For some reason, he's been laughing more and more lately.
He settled the money and went out of the tavern. He touched the piece of paper in his arms, the one that the mysterious man in the grass house had left for himself. "It's still there, it's still there. β
He was now doing what he was told on paper to go to a place he had never even heard ofβthe Crescent Tower.
He also asked around, but everyone replied that they had never heard of it, as if the building did not exist.
For some reason, he still cared a little about the little monk just now, and regretted that he didn't leave him behind.
