Chapter 163: The World
The next day, the snow continued.
The wind and snow overnight got worse and worse.
In the Star Picking Building, it is still as warm as spring.
But the boy didn't feel sleepy, and opened his eyes early.
Get up and push open the window.
Jiang Xiaoman looked at the snow scene outside the window and was a little distracted.
After a night of tossing and turning, I never slept at all.
The sky will be bright before it dawns.
The east is white, and the snow clouds have turned into clouds.
Outside, there is a hazy reflection of the wind and snow.
Like fog, but not like fog.
In Beiliang City, there are thousands of lights, dotted in the haze.
Above the lamplight, there is a faint smoke of cooking.
"It is often said in books that if the morning glow does not go out, the twilight can travel thousands of miles. Jiang Xiaoman whispered to himself, frowning slightly: "Today, it seems that it is not appropriate to go out." ”
has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and Jiang Xiaoman has no habit of lying in bed.
Roll over and get out of bed, wash up briefly and then go out.
Jiang Xiaoman's movements were very light, almost silent, for fear of arguing with the two girls who were still asleep next door.
Carrying the coffin into the ground is not a pleasant thing after all.
The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, and Jiang Xiaoman didn't plan to take Ji Xiaoyue with Miss Xiao.
Mochizuki Tower is not far from the Star Picking Tower, just on the same street.
One on the street and one at the end of the street.
The two buildings named after Xingyue are about half a mile apart.
At this moment, Beiliangcheng is like a drunk man lying in the snow, half-asleep and half-awake.
Jiang Xiaoman walked on the street, stepping on the snow.
On both sides of his side, there were endless shouts.
The early risers have already started their day's business, mostly with early snacks.
Of course, there are also merchants who are in a hurry to return home, selling mostly rare items that are rarely seen in the Northland.
Even if he is a trader and peddler, he understands a truth.
If you want to live well, you can't snooze.
There are tens of millions of forests in the world, and people are like hundreds of birds.
If you don't become a phoenix in one day, you still have to get up early after all.
In this way, there can be worms to eat.
Jiang Xiaoman bought a few taels of buns in the shop on the street, stuffed with pork and cabbage, wrapped in lotus leaves, fragrant.
Although Beiliang City is the largest city in the north, the price is really cheap.
A basket of buns, but eight copper coins.
The filling is thick and the skin is thin.
Jiang Xiaoman ate with relish, feeling that the uncle who sold the buns was a real person, thinking that when he came back later, if the buns were not sold out, he must have to buy two drawers and bring them back to Miss Xiao and Ji Xiaoyue's dead girl to taste.
After a sleepless night, tossing and turning, naturally a little hungry.
More than a dozen steaming meat buns, don't care about burning your mouth.
In the blink of an eye, it was a teenager's belly.
After eating the steamed buns, I happened to walk in front of the Moon Tower.
The doors were locked and not open.
Standing in front of the building, Jiang Xiaoman was not in a hurry to knock on the brass knocker, and for no reason remembered what Ji Xiaoyue, the beautiful master of Beiliang who was unique in the three of them, before leaving the Moon Tower last night, and the three of them complained.
It turned out that in the Great Elder of the Xuan Corpse Sect, who was invincible to his peers in the world in the past, there would be such a past that was unknown to the world.
Greedy Wolf Xingjun, Jiang Xiaoman has heard of it, like thunder.
In the five domains of Kyushu, there are many sects of assassins since ancient times.
It may be famous for assassination, but it is rare in the world.
What makes this river and lake taboo is even rarer.
And there are only two places that can really go to the Nine Heavens to kill immortals since ancient times.
North Qin Hunting Immortal Mountain, is one.
Behind the greedy wolf is another sect.
'The red dust of Kyushu is as ethereal as smoke, and the world is ordered overnight, and the world is not allowed to see white heads. ’
That sect is hidden in the 100,000 mountains south of Great Xia in the Southern Regions, and it is famous in the world.
In the last Jiazi, the four demons of Hunting Immortal Mountain, Qin, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting can enter the top ten on the "Kyushu Assassin List", and together with the Hunting Immortal Mountain Lord who has seen the beginning and end of the dragon in this world, he has to occupy five of the top ten seats.
The other five, greedy wolf, gluttony, poor Qi, Xiangliu, and Xingtian, are all from one sect and one sect in the world.
Among them, Greedy Wolf ranked ninth on the "Kyushu Assassin List" before Jiazi.
At that time, the greedy wolf star monarch would naturally not be the fat shopkeeper surnamed Tie now.
The previous generation of greedy wolf sword masters was Xuan Cang's wife.
It was a woman of unparalleled beauty, and the world called her Mrs. Greedy Wolf.
The two met in the rivers and lakes, and they should have grown old in the rivers and lakes.
In the end, it is a farewell to the rivers and lakes.
This is a married couple, and they are inseparable from each other.
However, the master's order is difficult to disobey, and the greedy wolf must drink blood when he comes out of the sheath.
She was reluctant to kill Xuancang.
So, you can only kill yourself.
Jiang Xiaoman thought about it all night, but he never understood.
Since the master's order was difficult to disobey, why not betray the teacher and retire hand in hand with the person you love.
Even if it's the end of the world, it's better than such an ending.
Take the last bite of the bun and tap on the knocker.
Since I haven't figured it out all night, I simply don't think about it anymore.
The boy has always been like this, maybe one day he will stop thinking about it, but he will be able to figure it out.
It was the iron shopkeeper who came to open the door.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Tie Xuan smiled reluctantly and said, "Jiang Gongzi, you're here!"
Maybe he hasn't slept all night, this current greedy wolf star monarch has bloodshot eyes and is tired.
Not in a hurry to enter the building, Jiang Xiaoman arched his hand and spoke softly, saying, "I promised Xuan Lao to take care of his afterlife." ”
"I already heard what Luo Shi said last night, but it made Jiang Gongzi laugh. Tie Xuan nodded, but did not stop, and turned sideways to let the boy into the building.
There was no one left and right, and Tie Xuan had taken off his disguise, and there was no trace of the harmony of the market shopkeeper on his body, but there was a strong and extremely strong evil aura.
If there is anyone in the world who has the strongest evil spirit, it is nothing more than a general who has been in battle for a long time, or a killer assassin like Tie Xuan, who is used to licking blood on the tip of a knife.
In short, this kind of evil qi must be piled up with human lives.
Jiang Xiaoman was not afraid of this evil spirit, his face was gone, and he said calmly: "The iron shopkeeper is serious. ”
With that, he walked into the building.
Tie Xuan was silent, looked at the young man's back, and bowed his head slightly.
The sky is not bright, and there is only one lamp lit in the Moon Tower, which is inevitably a little dim.
Above the lobby, there is a bottle of ice coffin lying horizontally.
Xuan Cang lay in the coffin, his face was peaceful, as if he was asleep.
I didn't see Ji Xiaoyue's master, nor did I see the many little guys who were busy yesterday.
The building was empty, and it was surprisingly quiet.
"Luo Shi was in the back kitchen, and he got up early in the morning to make some sacrificial food for his father-in-law. Closing the door of the building, Tie Xuan slowly walked into the building, stood side by side with Jiang Xiaoman, looked at the old man who had changed into clean clothes in the coffin and his eyes were slightly closed, and said in a low voice: "Even if I saw him die under the sword in my hands with my own eyes, I still can't really forgive him." ”
Jiang Xiaoman didn't speak, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Tie Xuan.
Forgiving someone is never easy.
If you haven't experienced the pain at the beginning, you are not qualified to persuade others to forgive others.
It was just a deal between himself and Xuan Cang.
Maybe the little girl will sympathize with the little girl after learning about all the causes and effects.
But it's just sympathy.
It's not like my daughter's house, there are too many emotions.
"I promised Xuan Lao that I would bury him on the hill outside Beiliang City. Jiang Xiaoman turned around, smiled at Tie Xuan and asked, "I wonder which mountain outside the city the iron shopkeeper thinks is more suitable?"
Tie Xuan was stunned, muttered a little, seemed to understand something, and said with a smile: "My stepmother was buried by me on Yanxia Mountain outside Beiliang City, where feng shui should be good." ”
said that he would not forgive, but in the end, even if it was bad, Xuan Cang was his father-in-law after all, where would he really hate it for a lifetime?
Tie Hyun is an orphan and has never met his biological father and mother.
When he was a baby, he was abandoned in the wilderness, and if it weren't for the day when Xuan Cang and Mrs. Greedy Wolf passed by, I am afraid that they would have fed the wild wolf.
Born in the wilderness, he grew up in the Xuan Corpse Sect, and was adopted by the husband and wife as his own.
There are all kinds of kindness in the world.
The greatest is the grace of parents.
Tie Xuan is a person who knows how to be grateful, so he naturally thinks of the goodness of his father-in-law.
For more than 20 years, he has been protected by Xuancang and Mrs. Greedy Wolf, preaching and teaching to solve doubts, and his cultivation is naturally good.
This kindness is greater than the sky!
Even if he later picked up the greedy wolf sword and became the greedy wolf star monarch in this rivers and lakes.
Tie Xuan's most nostalgic and nostalgic thing is still the more than 20 years of living in the Xuan Corpse Sect.
I often wonder how nice it would be if I could continue to live like I used to.
But all of this is not going back after all.
"A husband and wife should be like this, born to sleep together, and dead can sleep together. Roselle covered his face with a light veil and walked out of the back kitchen with a food box.
The voice is soft and ethereal, like a girl.
Dressed in plain clothes, although it is a winter coat, it can't hide the grace and exquisiteness.
Luo Shen looked at the young man carefully, handed over the food box in his hand, and said with a light smile: "It's going to be hard for a little barbarian, on such a snowy day, it is not easy to carry the coffin out of the city." ”
After taking the food box, Jiang Xiaoman shook his head and said softly: "It's not in the way, since you promised Xuan Lao, there is no reason to shirk it." ”
After a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the door, from far and near.
The car was hired last night, and it was quite punctual.
Jiang Xiaoman's hand was on the ice coffin, and one person actually lifted the huge ice coffin, said goodbye, and turned around and walked towards the door.
Holding the coffin in one hand and the food box in the other.
The movements are light and calm, without the slightest exertion.
Out of the Moon Tower, the coffin was lightly thrown into the carriage, Jiang Xiaoman took the whip, threw out a few taels of silver, sent away the car dealers, and drove out of the city alone.
Looking at the young man's back, Luo Shen yawned lazily and said with a light smile: "Brother Tie, how far can you go in the future?"
"I don't know, I can't see through it. Tie Xuan was middle-aged, with gray hair growing between his temples, and his eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the carriage slowly leaving the city in the wind and snow.
After a long time, he sighed lightly, took out a silver wine jug from his arms, opened the lid and poured wine on the ground, and said slowly: "I can imagine that it should be farther than you and me, far more than Kyushu." ”
"Yes! Today's Kyushu is not what it used to be, and it is still too small after all. Luo Shen leaned down to pick up a ball of snow and whispered to himself: "This little guy is the Vermilion Bird of the Jiang family, since he is a Vermilion Bird, he will one day be above the sky." Vermilion Bird Body, White Python Appearance, Born with Supreme Bone, and only such a young man can live up to my apprentice's Nine Phoenix Destiny!"
Tie Hyun was silent.
There are some things that Roselle can say, but he can't.
Say more about calamity, say more about disaster.
"If you really don't want to give Xuan Lao a ride, all cause and effect arise from the world, and Xuan Lao is not at fault. "Roselle doesn't care,
Tie Xuan shook his head, withdrew the flask, and laughed at himself, "No, I'm afraid I can't help it." ”
"I'm afraid I can't help but go to that person for revenge now?" Luo Shen naturally knew what the iron shopkeeper was afraid of, the corners of his mouth under the tulle were slightly upturned, charming as a fairy in the painting, and whispered to himself: "Cause and effect, cause and effect, if there is a cause, there must be an effect." All causes and effects arise from the world and end in the world. ”
