Li Xuan followed the horseman Han Zishan and the masked woman all the way to the west, but the sky was completely dark. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The three of them found a nearby farmhouse to live in, and they didn't say anything all night, and the next morning the rooster crowed, so they got up and continued on their way.

The three of them crossed the mountains and mountains, waded across the bridge, and came to a large set at noon. Mafu Han Zishan went to the market and bought two large leather spirits in case of quenching his thirst on the road. Seeing that he was about to walk out of the big market, he saw a few vendors selling horses, so he came forward to bargain, and selected three healthy horses, white, blue and gray, and black, and rode them on the road with Li Xuan and the masked woman.

Li Xuan had already planned to follow them to see what was going on, so he didn't say much along the way, just sat down to eat, and drank wine. Although the mountains and rivers are magnificent and make people linger, after all, the world is chaotic, and the heroes who have claimed the kings are entrenched in various places, the guns and halberds are intertwined, and the flying beacon fires have displaced the people who were already hungry and poor, and even lost their humble and stubborn lives.

Although it was not the first time he had approached a fragile life, he still couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart whenever he saw people's sad faces, sad eyes, and despair at the vicissitudes of the world. Why does every emperor understand in his heart that people, the foundation of society, if the branches of a big tree are dry, they will be injured and bumpy, but they still have to treat them roughly? Such a simple truth has not only been engraved for thousands of years, but there are still people who have been tyrannical and abusing the people, not only giving them more happiness, but also constantly hurting them, and even forcing them to rebel.

Even though the strength of the star grass is weak, if it accumulates into a wilderness, it is also a vast land.

Li Xuan saw that the horseman Han Zishan and the masked woman had solemn faces all the way, and it was difficult to laugh. At first, I thought that the two were in the same mood as themselves, but after careful observation, I found that this was not the case. Since the three of them broke the Nine-Star Serial Flying Hammer Formation, Mafu Han Zishan seemed to be much colder to Li Xuan. You must know that he was inconvenient to walk because he saw Li Xuan's poisonous breath before, and he took the initiative to carry him on and off the carriage, although he was not caring, but he has always been touching. Could it be that he was blaming himself for being able to walk, but he was deliberately tired of carrying himself? Li Xuan felt sorry in his heart, and wanted to get close to Han Zishan, the groom, several times to apologize, but he was always rejected by his cold and even somewhat disgusted expression. Why did he look at himself like this? Alas...... There are always some strange people in the rivers and lakes, when they are friendly with you, they can block the knife and slap you, but if they are estranged from you one day, they will stab you and slap you. Maybe the horseman Han Zishan is now thinking about how to stab himself with a knife and how to give himself a few slaps! Thinking like this, he couldn't help but sneer secretly, staring at the back of the horseman Han Zishan sitting on horseback, and said in his heart: "You can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to defend people...... I have the essence and blood of the cockscomb python in my body, which is invincible, except for preventing him from suddenly throwing cold arrows at me, but I don't need to defend my diet. ”

He was thinking wildly when he saw a masked woman rushing over on a horse and handing over a water bag. Li Xuan took it, took a few sips, and smiled at her to show his gratitude. He felt that at this time, the masked woman was completely different from the horseman Han Zishan. She knew that she was injured by the vicious yin and yang iron-headed centipede, and the pain was abnormal, but she still called him back, and sometimes saw him shaking and dragging in the car, looking sick, and she was very disdainful, so she almost raised her pink fist to beat him. But since she broke the Nine-Star Serial Flying Hammer Array, she was silent, could it be that she was shocked by her amazing martial arts!

The groom Han Zishan is in front, Li Xuan is in the center, and the masked woman is broken. The three of them galloped all the way and ran in the direction of Henan. After more than ten days of such boredom, I saw that the autumn colors were getting old, and the frost had formed scattered snow particles, occasionally falling from the gray sky. In such a season, all things in heaven and earth, and all living beings in the world, who can escape the hardship of bitter cold and loneliness! I think that except for a very small number of dignitaries and dignitaries, those miserable people who are busy in troubled times, if they can get three meals to cook, and take a pot of charcoal to warm it, it is already a luxury. Where is there justice in the world? the busy are busy to death, the poor are poor, the idle are idle, and the rich are rich...... Although it is inevitable that you will die in the end, what about living? Different people's fates determine different years!

It was just after noon that day, and the three of them hurried to a reckless mountain range.

Li Xuan saw that this mountain range was extremely tall and vigorous, and several streams and waterfalls that had not frozen were meandering, although it was the season of cold snow and occasional falls, there were still some red leaves in the dense branches on the mountain range, and there were still green ancient trees dotted among them. The autumn leaves tremble in the wind and whimper together with the branches, like flames scattered in the mountains, bright and eye-catching.

He and the masked woman followed the horseman Han Zishan along the stone path slowly, and after a while, they came to a ruined Taoist temple in the recess of the mountain. The Taoist plaque has long been broken, and no one can distinguish the former name, which is sad. And the tall and sturdy blue-gray wall, has collapsed in the wind and rain of the years, only a few ancient pines in the wall are left in the four seasons of the ancient pine, standing tall under the gradually gray sky, like the vicissitudes of life, looking at the changing world.

The horseman Han Zishan urged the horse to the door of the Taoist temple, gently restrained the black horse, jumped down, did not tie the mount well, slowly walked through the mottled Taoist gate with his clothes, and led Li Xuan and the masked woman into the decaying and desolate temple with a solemn expression.

Li Xuan followed behind him, did not speak, and after tying the horse with his hand, he followed the tacit division of labor these days, looked for some dry firewood everywhere and came back, and began to make hot rice. The firewood was lit, the light of the fire flickered and dimmed, and the silent faces of the three people were in a trance. The horseman Han Zishan seemed to be preoccupied, raised his hand to take the cowhide wine bag handed by the masked woman, raised his neck and took a big sip, handed it to Li Xuan, and said after a while: "Bastard boy, do you know that if you go forward over the mountains, you only need to walk thirty or fifty miles, and you will arrive at the place where we are going to take you?" Li Xuan shook his head, took a sip of the spirits, wiped the residual wine from the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Is it almost there?" Uncle Shan, why did you tell me in advance?"

Mafu Han Zishan looked up to the sky and smiled and said, "Yes, why did I sue you in advance?" After finishing speaking, he suddenly asked: "Do you know where this is?" Li Xuan listened to his preface and didn't care, and asked: "Where is this?" Mafu Han Zishan said: "This place is called the Wind Separation Ridge." The so-called 'wind' is because when the north wind arrives here, it is separated by this mountain range. Well, if you look at this mountain, it is thick and tall, and even in the harsh winter when the snowflakes are as big as a seat, the water on this side of the mountain will turn into ice, but the other side of the mountain will still be warm like spring...... Hey...... It's a great place!"

The masked woman fiddled with the firewood, distributed some hot dry food to the two, and said, "It turns out that this place is called the Separation Ridge. Uncle Shan, this is the first time I've walked this road! Is there another name for this Crossing Wind Ridge in the rivers and lakes?"

Mafu Han Zishan nodded and said, "That's right." Hey, Smoke Girl has a good memory, this mountain does have another name, but this name was changed by later generations, so few people in the rivers and lakes know that it also has another name. ”

Li Xuanqi said: "What else is the name here?" The horseman Han Zishan smiled, his expression suddenly revealed strangeness, and even hidden a faint sadness. He looked at the jumping flames in a daze, picked up the wine bag and drank a large sip of the spirits with his neck tilted, and let out a long sigh of relief before he said in a deep voice: "This place is also called Xianlu Mountain." Li Xuan listened to it and praised: "Xianlu Mountain, this name is much better than that of the Passing Wind Ridge, but why do so few people know it?" Mafu Han Zishan looked up at Li Xuan and asked, "You don't know?" Li Xuan smiled: "The seniors said they were laughing." How would I know!" Mafu Han Zishan said: "Didn't that person tell you the name of this place?" After finishing speaking, a trace of imperceptible chill flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "Is the name of Xianlu Mountain good?" Hmph...... Why do I feel so harsh every time I hear this name?" Li Xuan and the masked woman didn't know what he meant, and were about to ask each other, but they heard the horseman Han Zishan say lightly: "Since the name of Xianlu Mountain is harsh, it is better to give this place another name." Hey...... Across the Wind Ridge, Xianlu Mountain, is not only ordinary but also too happy and decadent...... Hey, bastard, how about changing this place to 'Pig Killing Ridge'?"

The masked woman saw that the horseman Han Zishan took a few sips of strong wine, and seemed to be drunk, and her originally pale white cheeks had become red, so she didn't wait for Li Xuan to answer, and said with a smile: "Uncle Shan's childlike heart has not changed, is Killing Pig Ridge better than Xianlu Mountain?"

Li Xuan looked at the groom Han Zishan, and saw that he closed his eyes slightly, his expression was shy, not like a joke, so he said: "Actually, any name is just a marker, don't care too much, if you reluctantly mix mountains, water, people, and things, it will seem superficial." Of course, this is just a shallow view of the juniors, if the seniors are willing, can you tell us the idea of changing it to Killing Pig Ridge?" Mafu Han Zishan sneered, his eyes suddenly opened, and he said in a deep voice: "What can this be? Killing Pig Ridge is a mountain of killing pigs, if you don't kill pigs, why change it to Killing Pig Ridge?" turned her head to look at the masked woman, and said lightly: "Smoke girl, there is a hidden path next to the Taoist temple, you can now cross the mountain along the road, and in less than ten hours, you can reach Rou Girl's Zhuangzi." Hurry up, I'm going to talk to this bastard. ”

When the masked woman heard this, she didn't understand why the horseman Han Zishan suddenly wanted to leave first, she was slightly stunned, and faintly felt that if she left, something big would happen here, she thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Since this place is not far from Miss Rou's Zhuangzi, why should I be in a hurry?" After a pause, he said, "Uncle Shan, can't I listen to what you want to say?"

Mafu Han Zishan laughed: "You can listen, of course you can listen." As he spoke, his voice suddenly became fierce: "Since you want to stay, it doesn't hurt to listen to it." Li Xuan didn't know what the groom Han Zishan had to say to him, and when he saw that the masked woman was reluctant to go first, he also smiled and said, "Since this is the case, let's listen to it." At this time, the sound of the wind outside the Taoist temple was prominent, and the surging cold wind wrapped the fallen leaves all over the ground, like a demonic beast that ran through the misery of the world, through the miscellaneous forest, swayed the stream, and blew directly inside and outside the wall that had already been broken and collapsed.

Li Xuan and the masked woman sat around the firewood pile, staring intently at the horseman Han Zishan.

Mafu Han Zishan sighed, and said without hurrying: "More than thirty years ago, I was very excited after practicing the first level of thunderbolt magic skills, and I was no longer satisfied with the reputation I had won in a small circle, but wanted to go to a bigger river and lake. Ha ha...... In the years that followed, I did not dare to say that I was invincible, but I rarely met an opponent comparable to me. But just when I was at my proudest, I accidentally lost to someone. ”

Li Xuanqi said: "The predecessor Thunderbolt Divine Skill is profound, and it has already reached the point of being introverted and hidden, who can defeat you?"

Mafu Han Zishan shook his head and sighed, "What you are talking about is my current state of internal force. But I hadn't done that yet. Although I lost that battle, I was extremely unconvinced. You must know that in terms of internal strength, that person is on a par with me, and the reason why he can defeat me is only because of some conspiracy moves. The masked woman said, "Conspiracy moves, could it be that the person attacked you despicably?" It's just that the swordsmanship he makes is very weird, and every time he makes a move, it is not only mixed with feminine and ruthless techniques, but also beyond ordinary people's thinking. ”

Li Xuan heard the words and said: "The enemy is unpredictable, and the victory is surprising, and each sect is different. If the means are bright, they are not despicable. Mafu Han Zishan nodded and said, "This makes sense. But I didn't think so at the time. After losing that battle, I was determined to quickly improve my internal strength. If his internal strength prevails, even if his moves are ever-changing, he will definitely not be my opponent...... Alas...... Although this thunderbolt skill is strong, it is most taboo to practice too hastily, and the more I rush to improve, the slower my progress will be. I had no choice but to ignore the essentials of my practice and take the risk of finding another way...... I didn't know that after walking on this strange path for a few days, I accidentally fell into a demon. ”

Li Xuan said secretly in his heart: "Back then, Dugu Hong ignored the warning of "The Secret of Baoyuan" and forcibly practiced, and almost went mad and died. And this Han Zishan senior was also in a hurry and almost went mad. It seems that the path of internal force cultivation must be gradual and layered before it can be accomplished. Mafu Han Zishan's thoughts seemed to go back to the past, and he muttered to himself: "But at the most critical time, a beautiful woman I have never seen before saved me. She's so beautiful...... When I fell unconscious with blood in my mouth, I saw her appear in front of me, and I thought I was in another world. But after seven days and seven nights, I woke up and saw her again, only to realize that it was not a dream. ”

The masked woman looked a little stupid when she heard this, and sighed: "Uncle Mountain is so blessed!"

Mafu Han Zishan smiled bitterly and said, "Good luck? Well, I am indeed good luck...... It's a blessing in my lifetime to see her. Alas...... If I can stay with her for the rest of my life, then it will be a blessing. Li Xuanqi said: "What's the matter, that beautiful woman is not with her seniors?" The horseman Han Zishan nodded and said, "Half a year later, most of my injuries have healed, and I also like her." But because she is my savior, I dare not express my thoughts. But every time I see her depressed, I want to comfort her and make her happy......" The masked woman said strangely: "She is depressed? But why?" The horseman Han Zishan turned the firewood a little stronger, inadvertently glanced at Li Xuan, and said slowly: "Because the person she belongs to in her heart wants to leave her...... Hum...... The negative will abandon her. ”

He gritted his teeth, as if he was about to force his thoughts down, and only after a while did he say: "When I see her sullen and thin, I can't sleep comfortably because of the heartache and torment. Until one day, when I overheard that the man was coming back to her, I planned to sneak up on the place they had agreed. If he dares to bully her, I will teach this heartless person a lesson. ”

When the masked woman heard this, she seemed to be reminded of her sad past, and sighed: "Of all the things in the world, the most painful thing is that the person you like is bullied by others and wronged. But, Uncle Shan, don't you think it's reckless to do so?"

Mafu Han Zishan laughed and said, "Reckless? But there are always a few reckless things to do in life...... But if I hadn't gone to the place they had agreed, I'm afraid I'll regret for the rest of my life that I wasn't reckless. ”

Li Xuanqi said: "Why did the seniors say this?"

Mafu Han Zishan said hatefully: "After I went, that negative person was about to leave. I stopped him in a hurry and asked him to understand why he was so ruthless...... But this look scared me a lot. It turned out that the negative person...... The bearer is the one who defeated me. The masked woman and Li Xuan couldn't help but 'ah' when they heard this, and they were very surprised, and only after a while did they ask in unison: "The person with the negative heart is actually the one who defeated you?!! How can it be such a coincidence......?" You say, what should I do? What should I do!" He glanced at the masked woman and Li Xuan with a fierce voice, and muttered, "When that person resolutely left her, I heard her heart-wrenching cry, and I intuitively felt that there was no one more evil in the world. But my internal strength at that time was only six or seven points back, and even if I sacrificed my life to stop him, I am afraid it would be in vain......"

Li Xuan said secretly in his heart: "If you don't step forward to stop you, I'm afraid you will also have the secret joy of the departure of your rival in love! Alas, when you taste the joy of the world, you can promise life and death, and you can also be happy like a fairy." But if the feelings of joy are reversed, they can turn into anger, into calamity, into the pain of life rather than death. If I see a rejoicing person being wronged in this way, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to exercise self-control. Alas, Bing'er, A-Ying, how are you now? Oops...... Now that my wounds are healed, I should go and save them, but I shouldn't have come here out of curiosity!"

Horseman Han Zishan said: "In order not to let her suffer any more grievances, I decided to stay, even if I was willing to be a horseman next to her." ”

Li Xuan looked at the groom Han Zishan in surprise, and in addition to feeling sorry for the beautiful woman, he was even more moved by Han Zishan's infatuation. But he still had doubts in his mind. Who is that beautiful woman? Who is the negative person who makes the beautiful woman sad? Why did Han Zishan tell this dusty story to himself, is this story related to himself? )
