Chapter 240: The Sun of the Water
This jump is extraordinary, it is a clutch between life and death. He cherished the last glimmer of hope, even if he unfortunately ended up in pieces, he was not willing to starve to death in the cliff cave. As the saying goes, "if you are poor, you will change, if you change, you will be successful, and if you are the same, you will be reached". Where will he care about whether he can be visible in the future, he just wants to escape from this lonely demon cave and stay with his beloved woman as soon as possible.
His feet slammed into the air, and his body immediately fell. The cliff walls are full of thorns, and these dead branches have lost their leaves, making them even sharper. He held his head with his hands, still rolling on the cliff by himself.
I don't know how long it took for the dead trees on the mountain wall to gradually decrease. Le Yiyang let go of his hand slightly, but saw that there was nothing in front of him, and there seemed to be no way out. He cried out in surprise, an ominous premonition coming over him. He clung to the stone on the ground, but because of the speed of his descent, he missed the stone, and his hands were almost rubbed off a layer of skin.
Le Yiyang was horrified in his heart, grabbed a dead tree between the cliffs, and his whole body was suspended in the air. He was stunned, and looked down to see the clouds and mist, and he could hear the sound of murmuring water. "Is there a river down there?" he couldn't figure it out in his heart, seeing the dead tree crumbling, and there was a little remorse in his heart.
He grew up on the border, where the Gobi steppe was all and there were no big lakes and rivers, so he did not learn to swim. If you really fall this time, I am afraid that you will not fall to death, but drown in the mouth of water. Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out from his forehead. "If I knew that there was such a terrible scene under the cliff, it was better to stay in the cliff cave. ”
As the force of the fall gradually increased, the dead tree finally could not bear it anymore, and broke out of the cliff wall with its roots. Le Yiyang lost the object in his hand and fell down the cliff suddenly. In an instant, a loud sound of "plopping" sounded at the bottom of the cliff.
Under the cliff is indeed a big river.
Le Yiyang's whole body sank into the water. He had eaten very little for several days, and he was diligent in practicing, and the true qi stored in his body was consumed a lot. At this time, his chest and back were greatly impacted, and when he was in a hurry, his mouth and nose were really watered. He hurriedly reversed his true luck and tried to drain the water, but he couldn't do anything.
Since leaving his hometown, he has experienced too many threats of death. This time, fortunately, there were eagle feathers to enrich the clothes, and in the end, the disaster did not die. He lay on his back on the water, looking around at the boundless sky, and thought that he was like a lonely boat, drifting in this raging river, and his heart welled up with infinite emotion.
The sun has risen. Sleepiness also crept in. Le Yiyang was emaciated, regardless of being in the river, completely relaxed, and fell asleep while lying on the water. "Life and death are life, and wealth is in the sky. "Rather than die of despair, it is better to sleep peacefully.
Le Yiyang slept peacefully, and even dreamed. In his dreams, he saw the person he missed the most. This person is not from Jiyun, not Yelu Zhongying, but his fiancée Xiao Cuixin. "Sister Xiao, I haven't seen you for months, are you okay?" he moved his lips slightly, and then smiled knowingly.
At this moment, Le Yiyang's body seemed to have been bitten by something, and he screamed in pain. He opened his eyes and found a large pool of blood floating beside him. There are two extra rows of tooth marks on his arm, and you don't have to think about it to know who the blood is coming from. With resentment in his chest, he clenched his fist in his hand and looked ahead, and saw a huge crocodile lying on the surface of the water, floating up and down with the current. The crocodile rolled its eyes and foamed at the mouth, as if it had just died.
Le Yiyang was shocked, glanced at the crocodile again, couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said: "Brother crocodile, you want to eat me, but you hurt your own life, isn't it worth the loss?" He didn't know why the crocodile died suddenly, and thought that there was a god secretly helping him.
The crocodile died unjustly. It lurks in narrow rivers and has killed more than 50 people over the years. This time, when it encountered Le Yiyang, who was invincible to all poisons, it could only admit that it was unlucky and died.
Le Yiyang was stunned alone, but he heard someone calling on the shore. He looked up and saw a number of people waving to him. The shore was still more than ten feet from the middle of the river, and he rowed towards the shore with all his strength despite the injury on his arm.
When the men saw him come ashore, they rushed to pull him up. After Le Yiyang went ashore, he quickly took out the eagle feathers from his clothes and threw them on the ground. After a while, an old man with gray hair came over and said with emotion: "In addition to the great harm for us, the young man killed the crocodile who did a lot of evil, and please accept the old man's worship!"
Although Le Yiyang has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, he still hasn't forgotten the etiquette, and hurriedly helped the old man up, and asked puzzledly: "When I first arrived in your place, I haven't had time to say hello to everyone, how dare I accept such a big gift from the old uncle!" The old man smiled: "Young heroes don't have to be modest. He paused for a while, looked at Le Yiyang's tattered clothes, and asked, "I don't know where the young man came from?"
Le Yiyang was reluctant to mention the past of being trapped in a cliff cave for several months, and only said: "I came from Kaifeng. What kind of place is this, old uncle, and why is it so remote?"
When those people heard the word "Kaifeng", their faces suddenly showed a look of surprise. The old man said lightly: "This is the sun of the water, thousands of miles away from Kaifeng. Now Kaifeng City is the capital of the Liao people, and the people there are suffering, presumably Shaoxia has seen it with his own eyes. ”
Le Yiyang remembered the scene he saw when he returned from Yingzhou to the south, and couldn't help but sigh softly, and said: "I am not satisfied with you, I have indeed seen Khitan soldiers slaughtering civilians. The wanton trampling of the Central Plains by the Khitan soldiers will surely provoke the resistance of the people!"
The old man said: "The young man is right! Since ancient times, there has been much help for the righteous and little help for the unjust. A month ago, Liu Zhiyuan, the king of Beiping, had been proclaimed emperor in Taiyuan. He was originally a descendant of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but because his father married the Shatuo people, he was mistaken for a foreigner. Now Liu Zhiyuan is the founding of the Han Dynasty, which intends to drive out the Tartars and restore the Han Dynasty!"
As soon as the old man's words fell, someone echoed: "The patriarch is right. The Han army has been assembled in Taiyuan, and will soon cross the Taihang Mountains and go straight to Kaifeng! Not only that, but the Liao Dog Emperor also decreed that the world should ban martial arts. In just three months, thousands of martial arts warriors have died. The Liao people's heart to kill me is obvious. Le Yiyang was stunned unconsciously, and his thoughts went back to a few months ago. Lu Zhicheng's poisonous plan was unexpectedly adopted by Yelu Deguang.
Those people frowned when they saw him, thinking that he had also escaped from Kaifeng, so they comforted: "Don't worry, young man, you can stay in the township and think about it in the long run." ”
Le Yiyang shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness. There are still important things to do, so I won't stay for a long time. He had already made up his mind and rushed back to Kaifeng immediately, firstly to find his fiancée, and secondly, to settle accounts with Lu Zhicheng.
