Chapter 17: A Serendipitous Encounter

Yun Ming felt as if his head was about to explode, the pain in his head woke Yun Ming up violently, he opened his eyes slightly, saw a mess on the table, and exhaled a deep breath of turbid breath in his chest.

I was so drunk last night that I slept at this table all night, and when I woke up, I couldn't help but have a headache in my head and a sore neck.

Yun Ming struggled to stand up on the corner of the table, looked around, but did not find Liu Xi's figure, only a steaming bowl of rice soup, a pair of chopsticks, and a small note on the other table.

Yun Ming looked at the note, but he didn't pick it up, he didn't want to know what was written on it.

At this moment, the old woman suddenly turned out of the kitchen, wiped her hands with her apron, and said kindly: "Young man, my daughter has left, and he asked me to say a word to you." “

"What?"

"There's a long way to go, go by yourself!" After the mother-in-law finished saying this, she continued: "There is still rice porridge on the table, you can drink some to warm your body." “

Yun Ming looked at his mother-in-law's kind smile and thanked her.

Yun Ming had just sat down, and he heard his mother-in-law smile again: "Child, you are the first person my daughter brought here, you have to take care of my daughter!"

Yun Ming was surprised, he didn't expect his mother-in-law to misunderstand his relationship with Liu Xi, he said repeatedly: "Mother-in-law, I'm afraid you have misunderstood, we 、、、."

"No matter what you do, she is a good girl, you young people should help each other more!" the mother-in-law laughed.

This sentence is much better than Fang Cai's sentence, but Yun Ming is still a little embarrassed, Liu Xi's arrogance, presumably the two old men are not clear, and she doesn't need any kind of help.

But Yun Ming had no intention of debunking it, two old men with young clothes should not know what kind of person their treasure was.

Yun Ming hurriedly drank the bowl of rice porridge, picked up the note on the table, said goodbye to the two old men, and went out.

Da-da-da-da!

A carriage, on this ancient road with no end in sight, drove slowly, this thin horse with brown mixed black fur, with a shiny brass bell hanging from its slender neck, jingling with the carriage as it advanced.

The horses walked slowly with graceful steps, dragging a boxy carriage.

Mo Tongsheng was already curled up in the corner of the carriage, falling asleep, the loneliness of the journey is not something that everyone can bear, especially now that it is so slow.

Early that morning, the two suddenly decided not to rush back to the Spirit Sword Pavilion first, there were still many doubts about the extreme north snowy region, the two decided to write a letter to let the unique wooden bird of the Spirit Sword Pavilion bring back to the Spirit Sword Pavilion, and the two decided to wait while walking, waiting for the instructions of the humble real person.

Piaoxue Lou did not go to the extreme north to hunt for treasures, which is the most suspicious, and Piaoxue Lou is a well-respected and powerful family on the rivers and lakes.

If they returned to the Spirit Sword Pavilion, it was very likely that the Humble True Person would let them set off again to go to the Drifting Snow Tower to find out the truth, if that was the case, they might as well wait for the Humble True Person to reply on the spot.

Thinking of Piaoxue Building, the word Li Bohong suddenly appeared in Li Xiuyu's mind.

It's just three words, and before he can remember, his parents have been killed by the people of the Demon Sect, which is well known to the people of the rivers and lakes.

What is strange is that Honghu did not want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and ignored Li Xiuyu's amazing growth over the years, and never mentioned this young man who wanted to kill himself all the time.

In Li Xiuyu's view, this is a kind of contempt, even ignorance, Honghu is confident that he can cope with everything, which makes Li Xiuyu even harder, and his cultivation day and night has finally become today's Li Xiuyu.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyu's chest began to ache again, and at that moment in his chest, his heart began to beat rapidly again, sometimes as dense as a drumbeat, and sometimes like heavy footsteps.

Li Xiuyu's face began to turn pale again, cold sweat dripped down from his hairline, and his heart began to be twisted by those hands again. Li Xiuyu closed his eyes tightly, lowered his head, and exhaled heavily.

I didn't expect the sequelae to be so serious this time.

Click!

It was the raindrops, the sound of gently hitting the carport, the canopy of the carriage was linoleum, Li Xiuyu was not worried that the rain would penetrate in, he rubbed his heart vigorously, and opened the curtain in front of the canopy.

This ancient road is really endless!

The place that had been walked by countless people was finally trampled into a road that allowed two carriages to run side by side, and on both sides of the road, there was occasionally a small village, which was very rare, and more of it was an endless dense forest, and when the two of them walked out of the forest, they saw this long ancient road at a glance.

But this ancient road is so long, so long that Li Xiuyu expects to see the end, but he doesn't want to see the end.

The spread is all ancient roads, and dense forests, the original hot and humid weather, finally at this moment was moistened by the nectar of heaven, the moment the curtain was opened, Li Xiuyu felt a trace of long-lost gentleness and coolness.

Except for this clattering carriage on the ancient road, there were no other pedestrians, Li Xiuyu took a deep breath of the cool air, felt the colic in his heart better, and his brows relaxed.

In the midst of such a rainy day, he suddenly thought of another person.

Some people and things are hard to forget, and in such a special weather, they are even more unforgettable.

It was also a rainy day, but it was an even more violent rainstorm, and his second uncle, his former master, and the head of the Drifting Snow Building, Chun Yuyan, drove him out of the division as a child and sent him to the Spirit Sword Pavilion.

He is still very young, but the difference is that on that day, he will never forget that Master Chunyu, who was seriously ill, stood in the storm with himself, and never regretted driving Li Xiuyu out of the master's door.

To this day, Li Xiuyu doesn't know why, but it doesn't matter anymore, after so many years, Li Xiuyu doesn't want to recall it.

Since that day, he has never seen Chun Yuyan again, nor has he ever stepped into the Snow Tower.

Piaoxue Building is a sad place, maybe Master Chunyu asked me to leave, right, Li Xiuyu muttered.

Li Xiuyu tried hard to think about some other things, and didn't want to continue to think about Chun Yuyan, there was an indescribable feeling between them.

Li Xiuyu has a complex and strange feeling for Chun Yuyan, he doesn't know whether this former master is good or bad for himself, whether he likes or hates it, Chun Yuyan has been strict with Li Xiuyu since he was a child, and he is always beaten and scolded, never a little bit of good face, Li Xiuyu is very sensible, he strives to do his best, in order to win even a satisfied smile from Chun Yuyan, but the fact is still to scold and scold.

When I was young, I hated him, I felt that he was unkind, and when I was older and sensible, I felt that it was a strict requirement for myself, and later, when he drove himself out of the school, I really didn't know whether I should hate him or respect him.

I don't know, what is it like to see him again! Li Xiuyu sighed.

He shook his head vigorously, unwilling to think about it.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and it began to turn into a violent storm, and the low and dense trees on both sides of the ancient road began to sway slowly, with the fierce wind.

Li Xiuyu didn't want to continue looking, because the rain had already swept obliquely into the canopy, and the shabby carpet under his feet was a little damp, he slowly lowered the curtain in his hand, leaned on the side of the carriage, and listened quietly, outside, the wind and rain that had nothing to do with his body.

As long as the horse is full, it will not care how much wind and rain it is, it silently lowers the horse's head, and still paces forward step by step.

Li Xiuyu quietly looked at Mo Tongsheng's still sleeping face, after such a long time of nervousness, danger and fright, this girl who was used to Sheng Ping began to rest endlessly.

On Bai Shengsheng's handsome face, the long eyelashes occasionally fluttered slightly, a wisp of green silk fell on his forehead, and his hands were crossed in front of his chest, dreaming in this safest and most comfortable position.

It feels like it's been a long time, and the sound of the wind and rain outside finally woke Mo Tongsheng up from her dream, she opened her eyes gently, moved her body, and stretched deeply, this sleep is so good!

She suddenly found that Li Xiuyu did not fall asleep like him, Li Xiuyu was sitting opposite him, holding a piece of deerskin in his hand, wiping something, and on the seat next to him, there were seven knives with a sharp blue light.

It was a strange knife, like a few pieces of iron, all of which had no handles, but were not sharpened in the lower half, and were scattered with some black, different particles and impurities, round bubbles, like burned-out scrap iron in a blacksmith's shop, and even the size and shape of each knife were different, some were wider, some were narrower, some were longer, some were shorter, and some even had no shape at all, just a piece of iron.

If it weren't for the fact that two-thirds of the blades had sharp blades condensed with blue light, I am afraid that even the blacksmith would not have given a damn.

But Mo Tongsheng knows them, not only knows, but is also very familiar with them, one sword and eight swords Li Xiuyu, Li Xiuyu is famous in countless masters of the rivers and lakes, not only the powerful frozen snow sword, but also these eight elusive flying knife hidden weapons, with the frozen snow sword in his hand, it is really invincible and terrifying.

But she didn't know very well that over the years, Li Xiuyu had gradually stopped using these eight knives, but she still put them on her body, only after coming to the Spirit Sword Pavilion, the frozen snow sword that she cultivated was accompanied by a shot.

Li Xiuyu raised his eyelids, and then still looked at the knife in his hand, but said, "It's raining outside." “

Mo Tongsheng looked at the hands that were slowly and skillfully wiping the knife, and gradually became a little stupid, those hands were very ordinary, neither black nor white, the joints were large, and there was still a little dirt between the nails, but she still couldn't take her eyes off.

It wasn't until Li Xiuyu opened her mouth that she realized what woke her up, she leaned in, gently lifted the curtain of the carport, and looked out.

The wind and rain in the sky are still mixed together, falling obliquely on the ground, raindrops falling on the leaves, booming, falling on the ground, puffing, puffing, synthesizing into a song, the loneliness of this rainy day.

On the ancient road of wind and rain, no one should be in a hurry, the two of them should be regarded as an alternative among the other, but when Mo Tongsheng looked out, he found that in the wind and rain, on this muddy road, there was a series of shallow footprints, far away, extending to the end of the can't be seen.

Almost every footprint is at the same distance and the same depth. Mo Tongsheng said softly: I didn't expect that in this stormy sky, in addition to us, there were still people in a hurry.

This is a lonely person, walking on this lonely road.

Li Xiuyu also glanced at the muddy footprints outside, and his eyes were a little dull.

More than ten years ago, on the day I left the Drifting Snow Building, wasn't it a storm that was even more severe than this?

The same, walking in this wind and rain, leaving a string of muddy and bumpy footprints, the same will never stop.

If we catch up with him, why don't we give him a ride!Mo Tongsheng lowered the curtain and said softly.

Li Xiuyu then wiped the knife in his hand, and when he heard Mo Tongsheng's words, he raised his head to look at her, and nodded again.

"You know, he must be soaking wet, his shoes must be covered with mud, maybe, he is not a good person, Li Xiuyu suddenly said, he raised his head, "Looking at Mo Tong and said, "Do you still want to carry him?"

Li Xiuyu never wanted to get into a little trouble, when he did things, he would expect any problems, and possible results, and he would never look at everything other than the thing he was going to do.

But Mo Tongsheng didn't intend to change her mind, she said: "But with such a big wind and rain outside, he will get sick." “

Li Xiuyu didn't plan to say anything, he nodded, still silently wiping the knife in his hand.

The wind and rain in the sky still have no intention of stopping, and this ancient road is endless, and the shallow footprints on the muddy land are also accompanied by the ancient road that winds to the end of the sight.

But horses, after all, are faster than human steps.

More than half an hour later, Mo Tongsheng finally found the lonely figure.

It seems to be a teenager, in this wind and rain, he walked very slowly, but he did not mean to stop, step by step, moving farther away.

He didn't even have an umbrella, his clothes were already soaked, tightly clinging to the young man's not strong body, he lowered his head slightly, holding a package in his hand, lifting it above his head, trying to shield himself from the wind and rain, but after all, it was only in vain, under his feet, he could no longer see the original face of the shoes, like two wet mud balls covering the young man's feet.

In the wind and rain, it will be the same embarrassment.

The carriage gradually caught up with the lonely young man, and Mo Tongsheng pulled the reins slightly, so that the carriage moved as fast as the young man.

"Get in the car!" Mo Tongsheng stuck out his head and shouted to the boy on the side of the road.

The boy had already noticed the carriage, but he did not expect the owner of the carriage to say such a thing, and he squinted and saw that it was a woman with a beautiful face.

The woman's head sticks out of the curtain, and the rain slides down her cheeks, but the boy doesn't answer immediately, he snorts with his hand the rain all over his face.

"You know, I'm soaking wet, my shoes are full of mud, the boy said loudly, and there are hesitations in his mouth, maybe, I'm not a good person at all, do you still want to carry me?"

Hearing the young man say such things, Li Xiuyu, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help laughing, Mo Tongsheng turned around, and when she saw Li Xiuyu who was smiling, she also burst out laughing, and then she turned her head and said to the young man: "It's so stormy outside, you will get sick." “

The young man stood there quietly, his eyes flashing, not knowing what to think, and after a while, he finally said, "Then bother!"

He climbed into the carriage, but did not immediately get into it, he sat down where the carriage was driven, took off the muddy shoes under his feet, threw them straight by the side of the road, unwrapped his hand, and took out a pair of clean and new cloth shoes, which were also soaking wet, and put them on his feet. That's when he got into the canopy.

Inside and outside the carriage, it seems to be two different worlds, although there is no bird singing and flowers, the wind and the sun are beautiful, but it is also exempt from the pain of wind and rain, the young man got into the car, only to find that next to him, there is also an ordinary-looking but vigorous young man, in his hand, is holding a piece of deerskin, carefully wiping an extremely ugly knife.

On the opposite side of himself and the man, it was the beautiful woman, Yun Ming couldn't help but look a little distracted, the woman was very old, but seventeen or eighteen years old, her skin was better than snow, her face was as gentle as spring, her head was crowned with a purple belt, and her whole body was white, like snow and ice, and she looked like a fairy.

Although there are some stains on the white clothes, they can't resist the natural beauty of the woman.

Beauty is indeed God's greatest favor to a woman.

But in this case, the young man would never look at it much, he packed up his body, looked at the two, straightened up and said, "Hello two brothers and sisters! My name is Yun Ming!"

Yes, it was Yun Ming, since that day and Liu Ji separated, Yun Ming could finally set off towards his favorite Spirit Sword Pavilion, for this reason, he did not hesitate to travel day and night, wearing the stars and the moon, so that he could feel the Spirit Sword Pavilion one day earlier.

Unexpectedly, today, it was raining so violently, Yun Ming hurried away, but he didn't find a family, a hotel, or even a pavilion to shelter from the rain beside this ancient road, so he had to brave the wind and rain and continue to move forward.

However, he didn't know that the person sitting in the car and walking with him was the second of the four disciples of the head of the Spirit Sword Pavilion, the humble real person who was all over the world, if he knew, Yun Ming must have jumped up happily.

"Where is Yun Gongzi going, and you still have to hurry on this rainy day?" Mo Tongsheng asked softly.

After going through so much, Yun Ming didn't want to tell the truth, so he said perfunctorily: "I was going to rush to the East China Sea and go to my distant relatives, but because I was in a hurry all the way, I didn't find a place to rest, so I had to brave the rain to hurry." ”

Li Xiuyu's eyelids finally jumped, the East China Sea, the most famous thing in the entire East China Sea is their master, the Spirit Sword Pavilion. Mo Tongsheng nodded lightly, was silent for a while, and said, "Then we should stop a little bit!"

Yun Ming was a little surprised, this vast world, all living beings, and countless roads under his feet, it was really ingenious to meet people who were on his way.

However, in this stormy sky, it is very likely that if you have seen this side, you will never see it again in your life, where you come from and where you are going, who will no longer be so serious.

Along the way, the three of them got along quite well, Yun Ming was respectful and polite, Mo Tong was generous, the two talked about what they saw and heard along the way, and Li Xiuyu was on the side, still quiet, carefully wiping the eight extremely ugly knives.

He hadn't used them for a long time, but he still kept them sharp, and maybe at some point in his future, these eight knives would come in handy.

The carriage was still moving slowly, but the wind and rain were as endless as this ancient road, but they didn't feel how, this lonely journey, this wind and rain, a few people accompanied them all the way, how could it be a happy thing.
