Chapter 13 The Road Meets the Mountain
Cheerful times are always short-lived...... Zhou Bai was about to be burned out under the scorching sun, the path was full of greenery, but there were no tall shrubs to escape the heat and attract the wind, Zhou Bai's footsteps were slowly heavy, not that he had no perseverance, but how could his physique be comparable to those open-minded cultivators, an ordinary person walking with the sun for a day, who could stand it......
For some reason, Hongyu just didn't want to take Zhou Bai to Hanshan with him, but Zhou Bai could only keep waving the folding fan, but found that the fan was also hot air. Hongyu was still walking briskly, stopping and stopping, waiting for Zhou Bai, who was slowly moving behind him.
"Zhou Bai, your physique is too weak, right?" Hongyu really couldn't stand Zhou Bai's speed, and with a casual stretch of his hand, the evil qi condensed, and the surrounding air instantly cooled, and a palm-sized ice cube appeared in front of Zhou Bai. "Cool you down. ”
Zhou Bai's eyes lit up, the murderous aura could still be used like this....... When he held the ice, the chill that permeated his heart made him feel like he had been reborn. All he could think about at the moment was shaved ice, shaved ice, and shaved ice......
Without the things to travel, Hanshan County, which could have been reached in one day, can only find a small temple in the barren forest at dusk to rest, fortunately, there is red jade to constantly freeze ice for Zhou Bai, otherwise he has to be dehydrated because of his weak physique. The length and width of the small temple is only about one zhang, and what you see at the entrance is a clay statue of the god, holding three forks in both hands to attack, the gold paint is mottled, and the face is blurred, Zhou Bai guessed that it should be the mountain temple here, but it seems that it has been abandoned for many years, and even the door frame has been removed without knowing when, and the muddy desk has cracked a crack more than half a foot long.
"The gods here have fled. Hongyu looked at the dust around her, found a corner, and swept away the dust on the ground with a wave of her red sleeves, beckoning Zhou Bai to sit down.
"The gods who have lost their incense will fall, and the gods will be destroyed when they fall. Although the statue is weathered and unpresent, its body is not destroyed. Zhou Bai said, "Hanshan County is surrounded by mountains and mountains, and I don't know how many such small temples and such gods there are." Shinto is so fragile at this moment, standing on the basis of humanity, losing popularity and dying. ”
Two watches at night, the moon and stars are scarce, everything is silent, the bonfire in the temple is flickering, and Zhou Bai, who has been walking for a day, is tired and has fallen asleep. Hongyu was not used to such a thing as sleeping, so she leaned against the desk with her sword in her arms, quietly looking at Zhou Bai's innocent sleeping face. You stupid, you are even sleeping in the breath of Haoran, with me, what are you afraid of?
At this moment, not far away, a tiger-eyed mountain kui is staring at this small temple, the human race has a strong spiritual energy, and it has not known how much blood food it has caught here over the years. But the feeling is obviously different today, the aura in the temple is too terrifying, so that it does not dare to approach. Especially the mysterious aura that has absolute restraint on it, as long as it touches it, it is life-threatening.
This is its only feeling, and it is also the last feeling. Night vision is one of his strengths, and at this moment it can clearly see a red light appear in front of its eyes from the temple, and its memory will remain in that moment forever.
The one-eyed humanoid beast, which was more than a foot tall, fell to the ground with a bang, and for a moment it was covered in dust, but it did not make a sound. Although it is flesh and blood, Shan Kui is originally a demon spirit conceived in the mountains, born in the mountains, and of course must return to the mountains. Flesh and bones return to their origins, turn into dust, and return to heaven and earth.
The red light returned, and the red jade stroked the long sword with a complicated expression.
Na, Zhou Bai, why don't you ask for my body during the day? I am an ancient divine sword, and I have an inexplicable feeling with you when I first meet you. If you raise the sword to conceive the red jade sword, in the blink of an eye, you can use the sword to pass the gods, and the divine power will return to the body, coupled with the righteousness of Haoran, I am afraid that it is not impossible to directly shatter the void.
If you ask for it directly, I will have a reason to break with you. How can you and I let go of it now...... If the sword heart has moved, it is a love calamity.
Hongyu was originally a sword demon, transformed by a sword, and did not want to be used as an object for others to use, and the "freedom" that the master said to her had been deeply engraved in the depths of her soul.
Hongyu and Zhou Bai were sensed by the "Xuanxiao Raising Sword Decision" in Zhou Bai's body when they first met, and there was an inexplicable connection between the two. The two sense each other and are attracted to each other. And in the interaction between the two, Zhou Bai's attitude towards her moved her, in his eyes he was a very beautiful girl, and his temperament was completely different from the people he had met before, treating all things equally and appreciating beauty. and the little cleverness that pops up from time to time, so that I can't help but pay attention to him all the time.
But she has a faint fear, she has never liked someone, and she doesn't know or want to express it. The first way that comes to mind is to escape, and so there is the temptation of the day.
And Zhou Bai's answer made her heart beat faster unconsciously, and Zhou Bai didn't mean to use her as a weapon prop. In his eyes, he is a friend and a partner.
Forget it, let's go with the flow, I'm afraid he doesn't have the concept of love in his heart now. Hongyu sensed something was wrong in the past few days, Zhou Bai's soul seemed to be wrong, and a fragment was missing. It seems that he was pinned on the way of heaven by a certain power, so that Zhou Bai was invincible, and it also made him lose some kind of feeling, and he didn't seem to know it, and when he wanted to say it, he would faintly feel an inexplicable coercion, and what he said forcibly became something else.
Hongyu didn't tell Zhou Bai about the Shankui last night, and the two got up early to hurry, of course, Hongyu still needed to keep freezing ice to cool Zhou Bai down the way.
After passing through the layers of hills in front of them, as soon as they came out of the valley, a burst of fragrance came to their noses, and the two of them suddenly felt that they were suddenly in front of them.
The grass is lying on the ground, and the fish ponds and fields are neatly laid out not far away. The dry fields on the hillside are rolling in the wheat waves, and the fresh fragrance of wheat makes the spirits of Zhou Bai and Hongyu happy. It's really a poor mountain and a water, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.
When they came to the ridge to inquire about the location of the old Han Wangjia Village in the paddy fields below, the two were not busy going, but first secretly investigated and inquired about Wang Sheng in Hanshan County.
There is no doubt that what Wang Chen said to him at the beginning was true, but the truth is not necessarily the truth, and if some of the nodes are concealed, the truth can also achieve the effect of a lie, and it is even easier to deceive people than a lie.
Therefore, Zhou Bai planned to go to Wang's house a day later, and his anxiety was more likely to reveal flaws.
The two of them first found an inn to stay in and eat something by the way. Hongyu didn't need to eat, and she didn't need to use eating to supplement her aura with the cultivation of her mind, but under Zhou Bai's persuasion, she gradually fell in love with the enjoyment of tea and food. Especially after Zhou Bai made shaved ice with the fruits she bought and the ice cubes she condensed, she couldn't put it down, especially at noon, holding a big bowl of shaved ice, eating shaved ice spoonful, from time to time her lips opened lightly, exhaled a cold breath, and her eyes became a line.
Zhou Bai looked at Hongyu's expression of enjoying the food, and blushed unconsciously, eating shaved ice is so tempting, it is simply life-threatening......
