Chapter 14 Separation
It's like a person who can't swim and falls into a rushing river.
Li Xiuyu struggled desperately, trying to grab something.
However, nothing but soft water could be caught.
He swung his legs as hard as he could, trying to bring his eyes and nose to the surface.
Look at it clearly, what is the upper reaches of the river, so vague, and so familiar?
In the haze, he grabbed something firmly, he was overjoyed, and he took advantage of his strength to pay for the water.
It's like the backs of three people.
One raised his finger to the sky, one looked up to the sky and laughed, and the last laughed and bent over.
But it was still so vague that he couldn't see who it was.
So he rubbed his eyes vigorously.
This time, there were two people again, a man and a woman.
The men are mighty and majestic, and the women are amiable.
Li Xiuyu suddenly had strength, and he surfaced even harder.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a huge storm came towards Li Xiuyu's face.
Li Xiuyu was extremely frightened, and he suddenly raised his hand to block it in front of him.
Boom!
Li Xiuyu finally woke up screaming, and broke out in a cold sweat.
He took a big breath, trying to calm his frightened mood, and after a while, the sound of breathing gradually calmed down, and Li Xiuyu looked left and right.
He finally found that Mo Tongsheng was on the side, next to him, and his own hand, holding Mo Tongsheng's hand tightly, was very tight, and he had already seen that the joints of his two hands were a little white.
Li Xiuyu finally felt a trace of embarrassment, and hurriedly let go of Mo Tongsheng's hand.
Mo Tongsheng looked at him quietly, loosened the sore Bai Shengsheng's palm, and said slightly, "You have a nightmare." ”
Li Xiuyu sat on the ground, exhaled a long breath, hugged his knees with both hands, buried his head deep between his legs, and the sweat on his forehead was dripping and falling to the ground.
After a while, he finally sighed deeply: "This dream is so long!"
This invincible, invincible man, so far, has finally revealed his vulnerable side.
Death, and desperate situations, will see a person's good, bad, strong, weak, and everything about him.
Mo Tongsheng knelt on the side, and suddenly wanted to share his pain, so she reached out and put it on Li Xiuyu's back.
After a long time, Li Xiuyu finally raised his head, for the first time in his life, he first took care of his feelings, and then went to observe everything around him.
It was already night, a pile of flames, gently swaying in the middle of this dim cave, around the flames, Li Shu, Han Muqing, Gu Huaixin, the three of them were lying or snuggling, they had fallen asleep, including themselves, everyone's bodies were very dirty, and there were also pieces of ash on their faces, and there were many tiredness, pain, and tear stains on their eyebrows and eyes.
Li Xiuyu suddenly felt a cramping pain in his heart, he covered his chest and closed his eyes tightly.
Mo Tongsheng bit his lip and said in a choked voice: "Uncle Tang and the three of them blew themselves up, and finally hit the emperor Bai Que hard, and blew up a big hole in the barrier above, I waited for a group of more than ten people to finally escape, but there are still people from the Demon Sect outside the volcano, and Senior Brother Liang Hao left ...... to cover us."
Mo Tongsheng couldn't speak anymore, and the red, swollen and beautiful eyes that had just cried for a short time left tears again.
Li Xiuyu breathed deeply, wanting to spit out the haze in his chest, he slowly wanted to stand up, but unexpectedly moved, his whole body seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, Li Xiuyu gritted his teeth, struggled, and slowly stood up.
He held on to the cave wall, dragged his steps, and slowly came to the entrance of the cave, outside the cave entrance, lightning and thunder, wind and rain, showers mixed with strong winds, like the Milky Way pouring down, raging fiercely in front of the primeval forest.
This cave is halfway up a cliff as high as the giant tree, and as far as the eye can see, it is surrounded by towering giant trees swaying in the wind and rain.
Click, boom!
Like a sword, it split the low sky in half.
Like a leather whip, whipping this dim world.
Dazzling lightning lit up the entire sky and the earth, illuminating the surging and chaotic clouds.
The rain is getting more urgent.
"Why are we here?" Li Xiuyu looked a little distracted, and only after a while did he ask.
Li Xiuyu didn't even look back, Mo Tongsheng looked at his rickety back, and couldn't imagine that he was such a sharp man.
"After coming out of the volcano, we panicked, all the way to the south, the Demon Sect chased after us, chased us for a long time, in the panic, we scattered with the other six loose cultivators, we fled all the way here, but this heavy rain, finally let the Demon Sect lose our traces, temporarily safe. ”
Mo Tongsheng said softly.
"How many days have we been out?" Li Xiuyu wanted to ask clearly.
Mo Tongsheng was not annoyed, and said, "Today is the third day. “
Li Xiuyu finally fell silent, as a person who often hunts down and kills others, it is really ridiculous to let others chase and kill him now.
Li Xiuyu snorted and laughed.
Mo Tongsheng was very surprised, in such a situation, Li Xiuyu could still laugh, was there something wrong with her brain, she hurriedly asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Of course, Li Xiuyu didn't say what he really thought, he turned around and sighed slightly: "It's nothing, it's just that we not only failed to obtain treasures on this trip, but instead lost our troops, don't you think it's strange?"
"Yes, there are indeed a lot of questions," Mo Tongsheng knew, of course this was not a reason to laugh, but she didn't ask anymore, she continued: "For example, how did the Demon Sect know about the Emperor Girl Sang and the Emperor Girl Bai Que in the volcano?"
If they knew in advance, and laid traps in advance, and waited for the righteous path to enter the urn, then where did the Drifting Snow Tower go?
Could it be that Piaoxue Lou and the Demon Sect colluded to jointly design and kill the righteous people?
Thinking of this, Mo Tongsheng couldn't help but shudder.
It's a whimsical idea, but it's the closest thing to the truth.
Mo Tongsheng didn't dare to imagine it anymore, she was afraid that this seemingly ridiculous idea would come true one day in the future.
Mo Tongsheng said softly: "Let's wait until we go back to study these things carefully, your body is weak, and you are in a hurry, don't think about it anymore." “
Outside the entrance of the cave, lightning and torrential rain were raging in this boundless darkness, Li Xiuyu looked at the scene in the distance, and suddenly felt a chill.
Nothing was said all night.
The stormy world is like the end of the world, and when you wake up in the morning, the light comes.
Li Xiuyu was very tired, so tired that he was in a coma for three days, and as soon as he lay down, he was still asleep until dawn, and the chirping of birds outside woke him up, he lay on the ground, did not get up immediately, but looked left and right, Li Shu had disappeared, and Mo Tongsheng was leaning on the wall of the cave not far from him.
After running away for a few days and nights, he won't have much time to pay attention to his makeup, Mo Tongsheng's face has become a big cat, and his originally fair face is covered with pieces of gray stains, green silk is messy in front of his forehead, and his closed eyes are slightly red and swollen, like a flawless porcelain stained with soil, and dirty and gray stains cannot hide his original natural beauty.
Li Xiuyu tried hard to hold on to the wall, wanted to stand up, a night's rest, the injuries on his body were slightly better than before, he came to the entrance of the cave, looking at the primeval forest in front of him, it was still the same place, but there was a different scene, through the leafy towering trees, the blue sky was rolling with leisurely clouds, under the blue sky, the emerald green and cyan were more eye-catching, and the birds were sometimes flashing among the trees, sometimes jumping, sometimes flying, sometimes soaring.
Li Xiuyu finally felt that the gloomy mood had dissipated a little.
He decided to go down and have a look.
He twisted his fingers slightly, gritted his teeth, and Li Xiuyu jumped off the cliff.
As soon as he landed, Li Xiuyu felt that his whole body had suffered a violent impact, and he felt that the bones in his body were about to fall apart.
Although Li Xiuyu desperately moved the few true qi mana in his body, after all, his body had been seriously injured before, and it took a lot of strength to simply fly with qi.
Li Xiuyu stood up straight with grinned teeth and looked into the distance.
Looking at it from the bottom of the forest, it was a different scene, Li Xiuyu dragged his body, walked forward, not long after walking, he suddenly heard that there was a sound of rushing water, Li Xiuyu's heart, a trace of coolness, three or four days, every day just drink water to quench thirst, but never cleaned and washed, when I thought of this, I felt that my body was wet and sticky.
Li Xiuyu walked forward quickly, and under the sun, a clear and rippling stream, like a silver belt, flowed in the valley.
On the bank of the stream, Li Xiuyu found Li Shu's figure, who was holding a homemade wooden gun, standing in the stream up to his knees, staring at the water intently.
The original chic and elegant, is gone, no matter how strong a person is, he will have to eat after all.
Li Shu tied the skirt of the green shirt around his waist, and threw the boots on his feet on the bank, and when he saw Li Xiuyu approaching the stream, he stretched out a finger and put it to his mouth.
The fish in the stream are the most difficult to catch, and the fish have to avoid these obstacles when they stand or wade through the rocks in the stream, and over time, these fish become very flexible and difficult to find, and as long as there is the slightest abnormal noise, they will scatter and swim apart.
You have the cultivation to reach the heavens, but you may not be able to catch a stream fish intact.
An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Li Xiuyu's mouth, I'm afraid that when Li writes killing, he won't be so serious, right?
He stopped, not bothering Li Shu to gather his concentration to catch the fish, he sat down slowly, trying not to make a sound.
Wow!
Suddenly, Li Shu threw the wooden spear in his hand quickly, stirring up a large crystal clear splash, under the sun, like a blooming flower, colorful and dazzling.
The wooden spear landed two feet in front of him, and Li Shu caught up with him, lifted the wooden spear, and raised it.
At the top of the wooden spear, a fat fish, stuck in it, the tail of the fish is still swinging.
Li Shu, who is known as a smiling scholar, finally showed the only trace of smile in the past few days.
"I can't believe that you still have this craft. Li Xiuyu said softly.
In Li Xiuyu's heart, Li Shu is talented, strong, and a chic and high-minded man, he can't imagine that Li Shu still knows how to grill fish.
A fire was made under a large tree not far from the edge of the stream, and on top of the flame stood six fat fish that had just been caught from the stream.
There was a slight breeze blowing in the forest, the flames swayed slightly, and it was Li Xiuyu and Li Shu sitting on the side.
Li Shu smiled slightly and said, "Don't forget, I've also been in the Demon Sect. “
Yes, going undercover in the Demon Cult is to kill people, and in order to kill people, you have to track them, and you have to solve them all by yourself.
"It's a pity, the person you killed is just the master of Juxian Hall who is the least valued by Honghu in the Demon Sect, and I killed it too. Li Xiuyu stared at the flames and said quietly.
Li Shu nodded, and said a little helplessly: "Honghu is indeed unparalleled in wisdom, I can't kill him." “
Li Xiuyu was silent again, he suddenly remembered the generosity of Tang Yubo and the three of them, he didn't even see a trace of fear in their eyes, they sang and went to death.
Thinking of this, the anger in Li Xiuyu's heart burned angrily again.
The pain in my heart lifted up again.
Li Shu finally spoke: "The undead are gone, either the Demon Sect dies, or we die." “
Li Xiuyu had already thought so, he had endured this kind of pain for more than 20 years, and this flame of anger had been burning for more than 20 years.
"Hmmm!
It was Gu Huaixin's voice, and the three of them woke up one after another and looked for it together.
Gu Huaixin was also very sad, but it must be worse than the disciples of the Spirit Sword Pavilion and the Southern Iron Armor Castle, so she could only pretend to be relaxed so that the atmosphere would not be so silent.
Gu Huaixin, Mo Tongsheng walked in front, and Han Muqing followed behind, all of them were handsome men and beautiful women, and they looked very eye-catching.
Gu Huaixin finally stepped closer, bent down, and sniffed gently, the faint fishy smell of the stream fish, mixed with the smell of burnt charcoal, drifted into Gu Huaixin's nose along with the air.
Gu Huaixin chuckled: "It's good, you will have fish to eat when you wake up." “
Li Shu smiled forcefully and said: "The little craftsmanship is naturally not as good as the delicacies of the mountains and seas on weekdays, but at the moment, it can only make do." “
After that, Li Shu handed one of the fish that had been grilled to Gu Huaixin, Gu Huaixin thanked him, took it, turned around and handed it to Mo Tongsheng, and said, "Senior Sister Mo, you can eat first." “
Mo Tongsheng laughed and said: "Senior Sister Gu doesn't have to be polite, it'll be fine right away, since it was given to you by Senior Brother Li, how can I be embarrassed to win people's love?"
Gu Huaixin's handsome face turned red, like a ripe red apple in autumn, beautiful and attractive.
Li Shu was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "It's all right, it's all right!" With that, he took all the grilled fish off the shelf and handed them to everyone one by one.
"I can't imagine that Senior Brother Li is not only kind and humble, but also has such skills, if any senior sister marries you in the future, it will be a blessing!" Mo Tongsheng looked at Gu Huaixin's face full of shame, and refused to give up.
"Senior Sister Mo smiled," Li Shu said with some embarrassment.
A simple meal of grilled fish, but everyone was satisfied, so many days, every moment of pressure, this relaxation, all of them suddenly felt hungry.
Everyone talked and laughed, feeling that time had flown by, and these five young people, finally at this moment, were chatting and dancing, they would not have thought that many years later, when they became the five of the seven gentlemen who were famous on the rivers and lakes and feared by the Demon Sect, this party finally became the happiest opportunity in the lives of these people.
Unconsciously, the sun had risen, and it was noon, after everyone washed, Li Xiuyu, Mo Tongsheng finally reluctantly said: "Everyone, the matter of the Extreme North Snow Region has been settled, although the result is unacceptable, but after all, there are still many suspicions, Senior Sister Mo and I have to go back quickly and report to the real person in charge, I am afraid that we will say goodbye." “
Everyone stood together, and Li Shu also said: "Yes, I have to go back to return soon, why don't we break up here." “
Gu Huaixin was a little reluctant in her heart, she was in the boudoir all the year round, rarely went out, although there were many brothers and sisters around her, but there were few such like-minded friends.
Li Shu saw the sadness in Gu Huaixin's heart, and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Gu, why be sad, now that the two swords of the demon are rising again, the day when you and I will kill the enemy together is not far off, and it will be the time for us to show our talents, everyone, when we hope to meet again, don't be compared to Li." ”
Mo Tongsheng smiled slightly, took Gu Huaixin's hand, and said, "Senior Brother Li, then you have to be careful, I won't be lazy!"
Li Shu looked up to the sky and laughed, turned straight away, and said as he walked:
Less small and more talented, high ambition in life.
Others have swords, but I have a pen like a sword.
When it comes to Top Gun, who am I losing to?
