Chapter 16: The Wind Rises

Gongsun first taught Shi Tianyou "The World is Scattered" and "Snow Without a Trace", where will he care how much he has learned? Anyway, he has completed all the provisions of the gambling contract, and by the way, he also got a cheap apprentice, and he is extremely happy in his heart, and he can't wait to see the exquisite chess game immediately, and his heart has already flown out of the valley .......

Gongsun Xian finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he woke up the two little guys early the next morning and said to Shi Tianyou: "Apprentice, there is something urgent to do for the teacher, and I can't delay, so I'm going to go." After finishing speaking, he stared at Shi Tianyou, looking very nervous, afraid that he would follow him.

However, Shi Tianyou's reaction proved that he was just worried. I only heard Shi Tianyou say: "The master has worked hard for the apprentice for more than two months, the apprentice feels ashamed, the master has something urgent, and he should go to handle it as soon as possible.......

Gongsun Xian's originally relaxed muscles tightened again, and he hurriedly asked, "Just what?" Shi Tianyou moved his eyes to Du Ruolan and said, "It's been more than a month since Sister Lan was robbed and left home, Uncle Du and Aunt Du don't know what to worry about now, they should always be taught to know that Sister Lan is safe and sound." ”

Before Gongsun Xian could respond, Du Ruolan hurriedly said: "Brother Tian, you were seriously injured in the palm, my father and mother are also very worried and anxious, my mother doesn't eat every day, she doesn't say anything, she just looks out the window motionless all day long, and your safety should also be reported to them to know." After speaking, he looked at Shi Tianyou expectantly.

Shi Tianyou remembered the scene with Mrs. Du, and remembered her warmth and comfort. If it weren't for Mrs. Du, Shi Tianyou really couldn't be sure if he could survive the huge grief of losing his parents overnight, and he was moved in his heart, and said to Du Ruolan: "Since this is the case, then let's go back to Chang'an together, accompany Uncle Du and Aunt Du for a few days, and then I will go back to Gu to practice." ”

All three of them thought it was very good, so they packed up and left the valley. Gongsun Xian originally planned to send them to Shaanxi and then leave them alone, and immediately go to the old immortal bastard to cash in the gambling contract, but was strongly opposed by the two, and Du Ruolan even said that he didn't care about the weak and had no sense of responsibility at all. Gongsun Xian felt aggrieved and argued vigorously, the three of them quarreled while walking, in fact, Du Ruolan and Gongsun Xian were arguing, and Shi Tianyou was doing peacemakers.

At first, the three of them rode horses, and then Gongsun Xian thought that the horse was running too slowly, so he abandoned the horse and walked, he held Shi Tianyou with his left hand and Du Ruolan with his right hand, which was faster than the galloping horse. Shi Tianyou's internal strength was quite deep at this time, but it was too short to practice the light skill of "Snow Without a Trace" after all. At the beginning, the figure was sluggish, the ups and downs were heavy, and after a long time, I gradually understood the trick, and the more and more smoothly I went, I couldn't help but want to shout.

It is important to know that long-distance light work on uneven roads is very different from light power in a small space, and long-distance light power requires higher breath and endurance, while small space performance has higher requirements for body style, skill and flexibility. Many martial arts practitioners have reliable skills and physical agility to be able to retreat in the fighting room, but they cannot run thousands of miles in the wilderness without losing their strength. The difference is more than a thousand miles?

Under the violent running of Gongsun Xian, it took less than ten days to reach the territory of Shaanxi, at this time the sky had darkened, and the three of them felt hungry, so they found a tavern nearby. Gongsun Xian is still the same as the old three: roast chicken, braised pig's trotters, suckling pigeon, plus a pot of warm wine. The two smaller ones ordered a few of their favorite Fluttershy......

Just as he was eating happily, footsteps sounded outside the door of the tavern, and three people in soft clothes walked in, one of them went straight to the table of three, Du Ruolan raised her head and shouted, "Uncle Fang......"

It turned out that this person was Cao Shi's house on Du Rushan's house. After bowing to the three of them, the house said: "The little one came here today on a business trip, and by the way, I heard the whereabouts of the young lady, and I saw an adult with two children from a distance, and the back was similar to the young lady, so I followed, I never thought that it was really the young lady and the young master!" The tone and expression were very pleasantly surprised.

Du Ruolan said: "Uncle Fang, do you have a cold? Why is your voice so hoarse?" The house chirped: "It's okay! It's okay! Thank you Miss for your concern, it may be that the weather has been changing in the past few days, and I feel the wind and cold, which affects my throat." Then he diverted the topic and said: "The general and his wife worry about the young lady and the young master every day, and they don't think about tea and dinner, and they are getting thinner and thinner. The little ones looked anxious, so they had to look around day and night, not wanting to ...... today Unexpectedly...... I really found it, and the general and his wife knew how to be happy......"

Shi Tianyou said: "It's hard to work on the room, have you ever had dinner? Why don't you add two side dishes, how about you eat some?"

Gongsun Xian kept his head in handling his roast chicken, braised pig's trotters and suckling pigeons, and the house saluted and thanked him, but he didn't even lift his head. Gongsun Xian was obsessed with chess all his life, and he was indifferent to the things around him, not to mention the house, even if the emperor came up, he would ignore it.

Gongsun first ate the last chicken butt, drank the last sip of wine, wiped his greasy mouth, and said to Shi Tianyou in a hurry: "Apprentice, I was supposed to send you two to Mingdemen, but now someone is coming to pick you up, it couldn't be better!

The house at the door was shocked, and thought to himself, "If he punches me or stabs me when he passes by the door, I am afraid that I will die and I will not know who did it." Du Ruolan shouted at the door: "Hey, hey, hurry up and be reincarnated!"

Shi Tianyou looked at the door, motionless, remembering that in the past two months, the master had healed his injuries, reshaped his muscles and bones, and taught himself martial arts...... Moved in her heart, tears flowed involuntarily, Du Ruolan stretched out her hands and gently held Shi Tianyou's right hand, and said softly: "Brother Tian, after seeing your father and mother, I will accompany you to find your master, but I can't find it, so we will wait for him in the "Nameless Valley", okay?" Shi Tianyou nodded lightly.

The two of them finished eating quickly, and House Ming hurriedly came in and paid for the meal. The three of them walked out of the tavern, and Du Ruolan said: "Uncle Fang, let's hurry to Chang'an overnight, my father and mother will be relieved to see me and Brother Tian a moment earlier." ”

The house said: "Miss, it takes half a day to get to Chang'an quickly, it is late at this time, Yingfeng Ridge is the only place to Chang'an, there are liukou haunted here, it is too unsafe, and the young master is tired for a long time, have a good night's rest, and are not in a hurry at this moment, early tomorrow morning, the small one will pick two fast horses, and it will not be delayed for too long." ”

The two felt that what Fang Ming said was very reasonable, so they obeyed his arrangement and lived in a local house surnamed Ge who was familiar with Fang Ming. Ge Yuanwai naturally treated him carefully and tried his best to stutter. I thought: "If you can climb the high branch of Dufu, will you still be worried about flying in the future?"

After bathing and changing, the three of them rested in a suite, Du Ruolan slept alone in the inner room, and the house asked Ge Yuanwai to move a small bed in the outer room, and slept on the small bed himself, and Shi Tianyou naturally slept on the big bed.

By the fourth watch of the night, Shi Tianyou and Du Ruolan had already fallen asleep, and suddenly they only heard a soft sound from the pane, the sound was subtle, but they could still hear it clearly in the quiet night. House Ming got up from the bed, grabbed the long sword beside the bed with his right hand, shook Shi Tianyou with his left hand, and asked, "Who?"

"Boom!", the door was shattered into pieces by the force of the palm, a figure in the dark stabbed the big bed with a sword and body, the sword stabbed the house Ming's face slightly painful, the house Ming didn't have time to block the sword, the sword stabbed the lower abdomen of the person in the crisis, the lower abdomen of the person was closed, the body twisted again, and easily dodged the sword of the house Ming stabbing to the lower abdomen, the long sword castration was not reduced, and it still stabbed down to the bed.

Shi Tianyou was woken up by the sound of the house, and he felt a sword aura coming to his chest in his sleepy eyes, and in the crisis, he was even rolled under the bed, and he was able to dodge this thunderous sword, and the black shadow "Huh" sounded, obviously shocked.

Seeing that the blow missed, the black shadow flipped his wrist, and stabbed the sword to the left to be hit, House Ming hurriedly raised the sword and stabbed the black shadow in the back, the black shadow did not look back, his left hand flicked back, and his right foot kicked back, House Ming only felt a strong force from the sword to the wrist, the tiger's mouth was hot, the long sword fell to the ground out of his hand, his chest was in the foot, and he fell to the ground softly, obviously seriously injured.

The house sounded this interference, and Shi Tianyou dodged the second sword again in a thrilling way, rolling under the bed. House Ming shouted with all his strength: "Young Master, run, run, run, don't enter Chang'an City!"

The black shadow saw Shi Tianyou hiding under the bed, his left fist shattered the bed, and the sword in his right hand "brushed" into the quilt, and then the sword was pulled back, and the blood on the tip of the sword was dotted, obviously Shi Tianyou had been stabbed, the dark right hand drew the sword, and the left palm slapped the quilt fiercely. Hearing only the sound of "bang", Shi Tianyou was slapped again, and saw that Shi Tianyou would be killed on the spot. If you don't dodge, I'm afraid that Shi Tianyou won't be shot to death by himself, and he will be shocked to death by the palm behind his back.

At this moment, the black shadow held the sword in his right hand, twisted his body, flipped his left wrist, slapped Shi Tianyou's left palm and slapped it backwards, the palms of his palms touched, the dark body shook for a moment, and then screamed:

"Zuo, are you crazy, how dare you attack me?"

The man surnamed Zuo was called by the darkness: "If you don't keep your promise, I'll be crazy to show you!" said as he slammed into the black shadow one palm after another. "Okay!Very good!Then I'll kill you first!Then kill this kid!" The black shadow was obviously very angry, and attacked the surnamed Zuo with a sword and a palm, and after a moment of fighting, the surnamed Zuo was slapped in the chest, but he didn't realize it, and still changed it desperately, shouting while fighting: "Young master, run! Run! Don't enter Chang'an City!" It was exactly what Fang Ming said just now.

"It's Steward Zuo! It's Steward Zuo!" Shi Tianyou already knew that it was Zuo Zhongcheng who came to save him when he heard the voice. I was grateful and happy, but I was also worried. In Shi Tianyou's heart, he has long regarded Zuo Zhongcheng as his relatives and elders, and has never regarded him as a servant at home. Zuo Zhongcheng came to the Shi family before Shi Tianyou was born, and was loyal to the Shi family, Shi Lan believed in him and treated him like a brother.

Shi Tianyou crawled out of the quilt, only to hear a "snort", Zuo Zhongcheng was hit by another sword. The black shadow said: "Are you really going to die?" Zuo Zhongcheng ignored him, and just said to Shi Tianyou: "Young master, run! Run!" In the dark, Shi Tianyou was about to stand up with his hand on the ground, and suddenly his right hand touched the long sword that Fang Ming was shaken down, and he firmly grasped the sword in his hand, just at this time Zuo Zhongcheng anxiously asked him to run. Shi Tianyou: "Ouch! Ouch!" pretended to be in pain and said, "Uncle Zuo, my thigh was pierced and I can't run!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he only heard the worried voices of an old man and a young man, "Ah!" at the same time, obviously Zuo Zhongcheng and Du Ruolan believed what Shi Tianyou said, and they were worried about Shi Tianyou's injury, so they couldn't help but call out.

Shi Tianyou shouted "Ouch! Ouch!", while holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, the tip of the sword was facing the back of the black shadow, gently approaching the darkness, and with both hands, he stabbed the ...... down the dark back.

Now Right Tianyou's internal strength is quite strong, what he lacks is only combat experience and contingency methods, and the "Snow Without Trace" light skill has also begun to glimpse the doorway, and he pretended to be injured so that the black shadow is no longer worried that he will escape, and he has succeeded in attacking. After being stabbed, he was afraid that the black shadow would fight back, so he immediately used the "Snow Without a Trace" light skill to hide aside.

The black shadow was hit by a sword in his back, and this sword actually passed through his back, and the tip of the sword was exposed from his chest. At this moment, an object fell on the head of the black shadow, and it turned out that Du Ruolan threw a small bronze mirror and hit him on the forehead. The black shadow was shocked, knowing that he had been seriously injured, and his mind was racing at the moment, thinking: "Kill Shi Tianyou first! Ignore Zuo Zhongcheng for the time being!" Thinking of this, a sword and a palm rushed towards Shi Tianyou's hiding place at the same time, and the sword and palm came suddenly, where did Shi Tianyou have time to react? Seeing that he was about to be pierced through the intestines and pierced the stomach, he was about to be pierced through the intestines and ...... the stomach.

Suddenly, the shadow fell to the ground, and the blow missed. It turned out that Zuo Zhongcheng saw that Shi Tianyou was in danger, and in a panic, he fell to the ground and stretched out his hands to firmly hold the black shadow's calf and pulled it back, the black shadow's body fell to the ground, and the sword and palm naturally fell into the air.

When the black shadow saw that his legs were hugged, his heart was terrified, and his legs wanted to shake Zuo Zhongcheng's hands away, but Zuo Zhongcheng knew that once he let go of his hands, the black shadow would definitely kill Shi Tianyou, and instead of letting go, he hugged him tighter. Seeing that the luck force couldn't shake Zuo Zhongcheng's hands, the darkness threw away the long sword, stretched out his hands to pull Zuo Zhongcheng's fingers, and saw that he still couldn't pull them open. Furiously said: "If you really want to find death by yourself, it's no wonder that I can't blame me!" slapped his palms on Zuo Zhongcheng's back.

Blood spurted wildly from Zuo Zhongcheng's mouth, his head was crooked, his hand was loosened, and he fainted. The black shadow stood up, picked up the long sword he had just lost, and walked towards the right Tianyou.

Shi Tianyou was hit by a sword and a palm just now, the sword hit the left shoulder, and the palm hit the back, and the injury was not light. The stabbing just now, it was a successful sneak attack while the black shadow was unprepared, at this moment, the sword of the house Ming was still inserted in the back of the black shadow, and the blood in the chest and abdomen flowed out from the wound along the sword body, and the black shadow walked five feet away from Shi Tianyou's body, and could no longer support it, and fainted.

At this time, I faintly heard someone shouting: "Miss Du, protect Miss Du!" The voice was getting closer and closer, and it was obvious that Ge Yuanwai was rushing over with his family.

Shi Tianyou hugged Zuo Zhongcheng hard, and was about to pull Du Ruolan to walk together. At this time, I only heard a faint voice on the ground: "Miss has me, you run! You run! Don't enter Chang'an City! Hurry!"

"Why do Uncle Zuo and Uncle Fang want me not to enter Chang'an City?" Shi Tianyou was puzzled in his heart, but he wanted the two of them to save himself desperately, and he would never lie to himself. "Where can you go if you don't enter Chang'an City? After thinking about it, it's better to get out of this dangerous place first and then think about it in the long run. I made up my mind in my heart, knowing that the black shadow was going to kill myself, Du Ruolan was not in danger, Ge Yuanwai and Fang Ming would definitely be able to arrange for Du Ruolan to arrive home safely, thinking of this, he said to Du Ruolan: "Sister Lan, your father and mother are worried about you day and night, you go back to the house and tell them, I am fine, don't worry, when Uncle Zuo is sent back to Yizhou safely, I will come back to accompany you." ”

Du Ruolan looked at Shi Tianyou with tears in her eyes and said, "Brother Tian, why do so many people want to kill you? After speaking, he picked up Zuo Zhongcheng and disappeared into the vast night.
