Chapter 3 Leaving the Homeland
At this moment, Yun Lan was the only one in the family, and she held a snow-white rabbit in her arms, stroking its fur with her little hands, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
Yun Mu stood there, looking at his sister with a gentle smile on her face, and walked over.
"Brother Mu!" Yun Lan saw Yun Mu coming, the smile on her face was even worse, and she ran over happily.
Yun Mu walked up to her and stretched out his right hand to caress her cheek, his eyes full of doting.
But soon there was firmness in his eyes, and a trace of aura drifted into Yun Lan's mouth and nose along his fingertips.
Gradually, Yun Lan felt a hint of sleepiness hit her and fell into Yun Mu's arms.
Looking at Yun Lan who had fallen asleep, Yun Mu's eyes showed softness and reluctance, and he gently put her on the bed. At the same time, put a light red hairpin on the pillow, looked at it a few times and turned away.
Under the scorching sun, Yun Mu's parents and other villagers were working on the land.
Yun Mu's father was working on a clearing, sweat wetting his sideburns, sliding down his cheeks and dripping into the dirt.
The mother picks and picks herbs on the sidelines, and from time to time pours water into the teacup she brings and hands it to her husband.
On a small hill not far from them, Yun Mu was quietly there.
Looking at his hard-working parents and familiar villagers, there was some nostalgia and reluctance in his eyes, and there was a ripple in his originally calm heart.
He knelt down and bowed deeply in the direction of his parents.
"Forgive the child for being unfilial...... Yun Mu whispered to himself, two lines of tears slipped quietly.
After a long time, he wiped away the tears, glanced at his parents, turned around and walked along the mountain road leading to Cloud City.
At this moment, Yun Mu's parents, who were originally working, suddenly stopped what they were doing and raised their heads to look around.
Yun Mu's mother suddenly thought of something and was about to chase after her, but was grabbed by Yun Mu's father, shook her head, and said, "Let him go, this day will always come." ”
In the middle of the night, the moon hangs high, the stars are dotted, and the moonlight spills on the earth, like a layer of hoarfrost.
On the mountain road, Yun Mu walked in the moonlight. Its body is surrounded by aura, and under the illumination of the moonlight, it is like a fairy coming to the world.
In the distance of the mountain road, a majestic and huge city appeared in Yun Mu's eyes, and that was Cloud City.
The road from Yuncun to Yuncheng is built along the mountain, which is not only rugged and winding, but also occasionally has broken mountain rocks falling, which is very dangerous.
On the mountain road, the silver-white moonlight shrouded the four fields, and a gust of wind blew by, driving the leaves to make a rustling sound.
The originally rugged and winding mountain road, but at Yun Mu's feet, it was like a wide avenue, he walked forward in the moonlight, the speed was not fast, bowed his head and pondered.
Before leaving, Yun Mu had gone to see Yun Lao and bid him farewell.
Before leaving, Yun Lao handed Yun Mu a letter. Tell him that if he needs it, he can find one of his friends as written in the letter.
That friend opened an inn in Cloud City, and although he was not a monk, he might be of some help to Yun Mu, who was new to the world.
"Yunfeng Inn, north of Cloud City. Yun Mu whispered, his eyes bright. After a long time, he decided to go to Cloud City to visit this Yun Lao's friend and inquire about some information.
In the night sky, a dark cloud slowly drifted from afar, covering the bright moon, and suddenly the mountains and forests were dark.
Yun Mu looked up and saw that the stars in the sky had converged into a long river, hanging horizontally in the night sky, still twinkling and shining.
After a while, the dark clouds cleared, and the moonlight covered the land again.
A few days later, in the early morning, Yun Mu sat up from his knees, opened his eyes and looked at the hundred-foot-high city wall not far away, and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.
The towering walls are like cliffs, and like a sharp sword reaching into the sky, it is intimidating.
Half an hour later, the city gate slowly opened, and the merchants and travelers gathered at the city gate lined up one by one to enter the city.
Yun Mu followed behind them, striding into Cloud City at the urging of the guards at the city gate.
As soon as the people entered the city, a large number of children in tattered clothes took the worn porcelain bowls and ran from all directions.
Some vendors will give a few copper coins or a small amount of food. Others had a look of disgust on their faces and waved their hands to drive them away......
At this time, a little girl of seven or eight years old bit her lower lip, looked at Yun Mu with wide eyes, and shook the porcelain bowl in her hand from time to time.
Although the girl's clothes were tattered, they were extremely clean and patched in some places. His eyes are even more pure and immaculate, revealing a sense of spirituality.
He looked at the girl, groped with his right hand, took out two copper coins and threw them into the porcelain bowl.
"What's your name?" Yun Mu asked softly.
saw the girl grab the copper coin and put it in the bag, glanced at Yun Mu and ran away from afar.
Yun Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head, following the crowd into the crowded street.
Yuncheng covers an area of thousands of miles, with a population of millions, it is the largest city in the northeast of Zhao State, where there are many restaurants and shops, and traders from all over Zhao Kingdom have come to visit.
At the same time, Cloud City is divided into five major regions, east, west, north, south, and middle.
In each region, there are families that dominate one side. The eastern district is the Lin family, the western district is the Feng family, the southern district is the Dai family, the northern district is the Yun family, and in the central district there is a tall tower, which is rumored to be inhabited by immortals.
"Steamed buns, freshly baked buns, a penny a penny, come and taste it......"
"The best hosta jewelry, do you want this girl to try it......"
"Jinchuang medicine for bruises and sprains, mainly 30 yuan a bottle, the effect is obvious, don't miss ...... when you pass by"
On both sides of the street, vendors watched passers-by, shouting at their wares, and occasionally someone stopped to talk to each other......
Yun Mu walked through the flow of people, looked at the pedestrians coming and going beside him, listened to the shouting sound from all around, simply slowed down and began to wander around.
Cloud City is very large, if you want to cross through, it will take seven days to go around the clock, and Yun Mu enters from the East City Gate, and it takes three days to get to the North District, at this moment he is like an ordinary teenager, wandering alone in Cloud City.
At noon, the sun is shining, and the sky and the earth seem to be placed in a huge steamer, and the heat is steaming all around.
At this moment, there are fewer pedestrians on the streets. Some entered the inn, carrying a pot of sake, ordering a few side dishes, and chatting with their companions, while others went to the liquor store, bought a bowl of wine, took a little dry food, poured a sip hard, and squinted at the sky......
Yun Mu is spiritual power is operation, and suddenly the heat dissipates, and his whole body is cool.
Three days later, Yun Mu came to the north of Yuncheng, at the door of the Yunfeng Inn, looked at the pedestrians coming and going in front of the inn, muttered a little, and stepped in.
As soon as he entered the inn, a man ran up to him. The guy looked at Yun Mu, with doubts in his eyes, what is a twelve or thirteen-year-old child doing here, is it because he has been separated from his parents.
The guy was just about to ask, but he saw Yun Mu hand him a letter and said softly, "Give it to your shopkeeper." ”
His tone was gentle, like a gust of wind blowing, falling into the ears of his fellows, but it made him feel an inviolable majesty, which shook his heart.
After a few breaths, the guy took a closer look at Yun Mu, turned around and ran towards the backyard.
After a while, a young man came to Yun Mu under the guidance of his man.
The young man is handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, long hair draped behind him, a cyan robe, and a folding fan in his hand.
The young man looked at Yun Mu, with a strange look on his face, just now the guy went to report that he happened to be staying with his grandfather. I thought it wasn't a big deal, but when I saw that my grandfather's face changed greatly after reading the letter, I hurriedly asked myself to invite the young man in front of me.
Looking at it now, I didn't see anything strange about it, just an ordinary teenager.
Yun Mu's face remained unchanged, and he calmly looked at the young man in front of him.
After a while, the young man stepped forward and wanted to knock on it, but remembering his grandfather's words, he dispelled his thoughts and said in a soft tone, "Please come with me to the backyard." ”
In the backyard, Yun Mu followed the young man unhurriedly, enjoying the scenery of the backyard.
The rockery flows, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, a willow hangs down the branches, and the catkins dance with the wind and fall around.
This was a scene that Yun Mu had never seen before, although his face was calm, his heart was moving.
"I heard Yun Lao say, I didn't know the prosperity of Cloud City before, but now I can see a corner, an inn has such a scenery, I don't know what kind of style there is in the big family of Cloud City. ”
After about half a cup of tea, Yun Mu followed the young man to the door of a room.
The young man slammed the door and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, the people have arrived." ”
"Come in. After a while, there was a hoarse voice and a cough in the room.
In the room, an old man sat on a chair, his hair was gray and sparse, he looked old, and he had a cane in his hand.
When the old man saw Yun Mu coming, he glanced at his grandson and said, "You go out first, I have something to talk about with this little friend." ”
After hearing this, the young man frowned but did not say much, glanced at Yun Mu and turned to leave.
After the young man left, the old man stood up excitedly and said tremblingly: "Xiaomin greets the immortals!"
The old man's tone was excited, and he was even more frightened in his heart for fear that the immortal in front of him would be dissatisfied, the old man who had lived in Cloud City for many years had seen the immortal before, and he had also seen the immortal angry, that kind of scene he would never forget in his life.
"The old man doesn't have to be like this, just call me Yunmu. Yun Mu hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man.
Then, the two sat opposite each other, and the old man poured a cup of tea for Yun Mu and said, "Yun ...... What Xiaoyou wants, Lao Yu already knows, but he can't meet Xiaoyou's request. There is one in Immortal Cloud City, but how can mortals like us know about it, let alone where the immortal gate is. ”
After hearing this, Yun Mu's eyes showed thought, and he looked at the teacup in his hand and was silent for a long time.
After a long time, the old man said softly: "If Xiaoyou doesn't have any other residence in Cloud City, it is better to live in the inn first, and I will ask Lin Feng to help you arrange a room, which will definitely satisfy you." ”
The old man's words interrupted Yun Mu's contemplation, and after thinking about it, he spoke, "So bothered. ”
After speaking, he stretched out his right index finger, and then a wisp of aura appeared on his fingertips, and then pointed at the center of the old man's eyebrows, and a cold feeling spread from the center of the eyebrows to the old man's whole body.
After a few breaths, a trace of black blood was spit out by the old man, and there was a foul smell at once.
Yun Mu withdrew his index finger and said softly: "I have cured your stubborn disease, just use it as my rent." ”
The old man came back to his senses, wiped away the black blood, and suddenly felt a lightness in his body, and he no longer had the feeling of coughing, so he quickly got up and bowed.
Yun Mu looked at the back of the old man leaving, looked up at the sky, and whispered to himself: "Immortal Gate ......"
