Chapter 1 Ask the water and listen to the mountains, and it is better to go back than to say
As if it had been agreed, when the war against bandits in Nanhai County was over, night quietly fell.
Now, the soldiers have erected five or six tents in the wilderness and let the military doctors heal the wounded soldiers.
The team that came to Huoyun Mountain to suppress the bandits did not think that they would need to spend the night in the mountains when they set out, so they only brought a small number of tents, so that most of the surviving soldiers can only sleep in the grass in the wilderness. Around the open-air camp, several bright bonfires have been lit to deter the predators who come out at night to roam and forage.
However, all of this is busy with the county soldiers, and now it has nothing to do with the awakening. Ever since he scared off the two barbarian killing gods, Xingyan had completely wandered away from the battlefield in front of him, and the exhausted Hall Master Zhang could only stand motionless now, sitting cross-legged on the ground and refining his spirits.
Seeing him like this, Bao Chuxiong and the others did not dare to come forward to disturb him. Only Qiong Wei, now that she is finally tired of playing, she leans on her brother and falls asleep quietly.
The heavy darkness of the night finally silenced all the noise, and only the mist in the wilderness quietly soaked the ragged clothes.
The next morning, it wasn't until the morning light in the eastern sky shone directly on their faces that the tired recruits barely opened their hazy sleepy eyes. The scorching summer sun that occasionally revealed half of its face among the Huoyun Mountains and Mountains felt extremely cordial and warm in the eyes of Bao Chuxiong and the others at this moment. The gloomy atmosphere that had been condensed in the Huoyun Mountains and Wilderness on the night before seemed to be completely expelled by the fiery red sun, and only the severed limbs and stumps scattered in the knee-deep grass in the distance were still silently reminding people:
What happened yesterday was not just an unwarranted nightmare.
In the warm morning light, Xingyan finally woke up. Only then did he realize that he had been meditating and refining his qi last night, but now he was lying on the ground. On his body, I don't know who covered himself with a soap-colored robe, which was stained with blood.
I moved my body slightly, and I was about to get up, but I found that there was still a person sleeping next to me. Looking sideways, it turned out to be his Qiong Wei sister, who was leaning on his left arm and sleeping soundly. Now the little girl, like a lazy cat, curled up on one side, her long eyelashes fluttering evenly with her breathing.
Looking at the posture of Qiong Wei's hands, feet, head and face, it is conceivable that last night, as she unconsciously lay down after falling asleep, this little girl also maintained a sideways posture and slipped and fell asleep with him.
Seeing that she was not awake, Xingyan remained the same, saving her from sleeping. The little girl's originally warm and tender face was now smeared with several shades of soot. Looking at these, Xingyan can't help but think of yesterday's battle:
"Come to think of it, it should have been Qiong Wei who helped me block the Dharma Protector yesterday, right? In the end, he also helped me block those two deadly flying knives......"
"I really didn't expect that this little girl who secretly came with me saved my life!"
It was only at this time that Xingyan realized that this Jiaona's cute little sister had dragged herself back from the ghost gate yesterday!
"By the way, where did she learn the weird knife technique?"
In addition to being full of love and gratitude in his heart, Xingyan felt a little unbelievable about Qiong Wei's performance yesterday. Although he didn't look at it at the time, the little girl's wonderful figure like a butterfly bird was still vividly reflected in his mind.
"It seems that after I go back, I will have to hurry up and practice the 'Sword Control Technique'. In case of any dangerous things in the future, you can't always let Qiong Wei get into danger. ”
After yesterday's events, Sober has summed up several valuable experiences. In addition to practicing spells well, he also made up his mind that he must spend some effort to train this little girl not to follow him all the time. It's just that the task seems daunting, but if it can't be done, it doesn't matter. In the future, I will try my best to keep to myself, be kind to others, live in a simple place, and not fight with others.
When he was waking up and beating his wishful thinking, he heard someone next to him say:
"Brother, I'm sleeping again. ”
It turned out that it was Qiong Wei who woke up.
After getting up, as soon as he stood up, Bao Chuxiong, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, hurriedly walked up, hugged his fists, and said:
"Hall Master Zhang, Aunt Qiong, breakfast has been prepared in the tent over there, just wait for the two of you to come over and enjoy it!"
“...... Why should Lord Lieutenant be so polite?"
A big official like the lieutenant of a county, who put on a posture of respecting his predecessors, immediately made him feel like a needle on his back, so uncomfortable!
After eating this awkward breakfast accompanied by everyone, Xingyan suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Lord Captain, I don't know if those wounded soldiers were properly healed yesterday?"
"Thanks to the Lord of the Hall, those who have been wounded by the flesh have been dressed and bandaged properly. Those who were poisoned by the demon fire poison, and the heavier ones were fortunately cured by Yun'er Daogu's technique. For the rest, it's good to wait until you go back and slowly raise some. ”
That day, Zhang Yun'er of the Master Sect also said softly:
"In fact, it's not Yun'er's mana, only thanks to the detoxification rainbow shell given by my father, I can cure the fire poison caused by the military masters. It's just that the rainbow shell's energy efficiency is limited, and after sucking a few people, the fire poison is now full, and if it wants to regain its effect, it will take two or three months to let the absorbed fire element slowly fade - only then there is no need for this thing. ”
Hearing Zhang Yun'er's words, Xingyan Fang found that the originally pale yellow jade shell on her chest had now turned into a deep vermilion, obviously, this is what she said was full of fire yuan.
Seeing this detoxification ornament, Xingyan suddenly moved in his heart and said:
"Speaking of detoxification, I also have a Xiang Pei given by a friend, which also has the ability to detoxify. I wonder if Lord Lieutenant can let the boy give it a try?"
Hall Master Zhang took the initiative to ask for help, how could Bao Chuxiong be unreasonable. Although he heard him humble, everyone in the tent seemed to have seen the poisoned soldiers jumping around.
If he knew what they were thinking, he would be very nervous, because he really just wanted to give it a try. But fortunately, the scenario that everyone imagined for granted turned out to be a reality:
The crystal smooth jade pendant in Xingyan's hand, as long as it was close to the fire poison wound about half an inch, it automatically emitted a bright white light. Then, thousands of slender red threads were quickly absorbed into the jade in this white light.
Slightly different from everyone's imagination, after treating more than a dozen people, this jade pendant is still as clean as ever, and it does not show any different color. Now Bao Chuxiong and others are no longer surprised by all the magical methods of awakening, and they only praise in their hearts:
"Sure enough, it's the treasure of Luofu Mountain, it's wonderful!"
Among the crowd, only two were slightly different:
One is Zhang Yun'er. Seeing that Xing Yan also used Xiang Zhongyu's jade pendant to absorb fire poison for the injured county soldiers, this female disciple of the Heavenly Master Sect, somehow, a trace of blush appeared on her pretty face. It's just that this reddish touch, under the cover of the vermilion shellfish on the chest, is not afraid that anyone will notice it for a while.
The other is the one with the jade pendant in his hand. Although he looked as usual on the surface, he was also full of sighs in his heart:
"I didn't expect Miss Juying to give me such a heavy treasure!"
"Well, although the chance of meeting her is slim, if you meet Lingcheng Master Ancestor next time, you might as well ask her for news, so as to understand my gratitude. ”
Skimming over the gossip, it didn't take long for this group of bandit soldiers to pack up and set out on the way back to the city.
As when he came, it was still Qiong Wei riding on a tall white horse, but now this "flying snow" solemnly gifted by Taishou was limping between hooves, and this appearance was given by the rider on its back. Xingyan refused Bao Duwei's kindness, and only wanted to be a Qiong Wei groom. Along the way, basically no one talked to Xingyan, only the Sheng Hengtang of the Heavenly Master Sect caught up to talk to him on the way.
Sheng Hengtang's words, at first glance, sounded quite abrupt to Xingyan's ears; what "Great Bright Shield" and what "Flying Bird Chop" were all unheard of by him. When he said it at first, he was confused. After talking for a while, Xingyan gradually understood that the "Xu Yue Xuanhua Jue" that he made yesterday was the secret technique of the Shangqing Palace, the "Great Bright Shield", which Sheng Heng Tang praised;
Obviously, how did the little girl of Qiong Wei learn what her predecessors learned "flying birds", this is nonsense; Xingyan knows her origin very well, this little girl can show yesterday's means, it should be born with wisdom. However, the name of "Flying Bird Chop" is very appropriate to think about. After thinking about it carefully, I found that the figure of Xiao Qiong's sword dance was born from the frolicking and dancing with the birds on the Thousand Bird Cliff.
However, Sheng Hengtang's mention of the "Great Bright Shield" is refreshing. It turned out that, according to the middle-aged Taoist, the "Great Bright Shield" was a well-known spell of the Qing Palace on Luofu Mountain, which could resist many spell attacks and restore strength. It is said that the "Qinghe Zhenren" who won the first prize in the Taoist grand ceremony Jiayuan Conference for four consecutive years was largely helped by this technique.
After listening to it for a long time, Xingyan finally figured out that the rhetoric of this "Great Bright Shield" may be the name of the "Xu Yao Xuan Hua Jue" of Shangqing by people in other factions. Hearing the statement of regaining strength, Xingyan was moved in his heart:
"I finally understand why I said that my strength recovered so quickly yesterday!"
He was originally strange in his heart, last night, he tried to recover some Taihua Dao power, but he was only much more refreshed, and his strength was still not good. Now it seems that this is the reason. If it weren't for the scruples of suddenly appearing at this time, if you want to try the effect of this method when you stand upside down, is it really as Sheng Hengtang said.
Not long after talking to Xingyan, Sheng Hengtang and others asked him and Bao Duwei to resign. Although everyone has repeatedly retained, these Heavenly Master Sect disciples are still drifting away. Thinking about it, it should be because of the strategy offered by Lin Xu yesterday, and the officers and soldiers were almost in a desperate situation, so they felt that it was better to turn back halfway, so as to save the embarrassment of being too punctual when they saw each other again. Although Bao Chuxiong and others will not expose their shortcomings after living and dying together, they will not be shy about what kind of characters Sheng Hengtang is. It's normal to go away in such a decisive way.
At the time of parting, everyone was inevitably reluctant to give up, and Xingyan said that he would have the opportunity to say goodbye with these Taoist friends.
There were about eleven or twelve disciples in this group of Heavenly Master Sect disciples when they came, but when they returned at this time, there were only six left, less than half of them. Under the vast sky, the few points in the grass road and dust that gradually faded seemed so lonely and lonely.
Looking at their backs gradually moving away, a sad air filled the young man's heart in an instant. From this moment on, Xingyan suddenly realized that he missed the light and leisurely life on the Chidori Cliff.
After returning to Jieyang and Bao Chuxiong to fight with Tai Shouyu to suppress bandits, Xingyan said goodbye. Although Duan Taishou warmly retained him and sincerely invited him and Qiong Wei to go to Panyu to play, but at this moment, he was already like an arrow, so he politely refused.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Duan Taishou was not reluctant; according to Fang Cai Bao Chuxiong's advice, he emphasized to Xingyan that the demon bandit was really powerful, Duan Xuanhuai ordered someone to take a plate of scattered gold and silver, and gave him as a piece of firewood for the journey. This entanglement is obviously too rich compared to the distance, but the person who gave the silver is very sincere, and he is humble and accepts it. As for the flying snow white horse that was temporarily lame, Taishou originally wanted to give it as a young man's mount, but when he heard that it was inconvenient to raise horses on Luofu Mountain, he would sell it when he arrived at the foot of the mountain, and Duan Xuanhuai was no longer reluctant. But according to his will, he cashed in the ungiven leg power, and added a few more loaves of silver to the wake-up coat.
So far, this hard work can be regarded as a good reward.
Although the disciples of the Heavenly Master Sect have now left, Bao Chuxiong has not forgotten what they have entrusted them. Before he could leave, Bao Duwei had already pleaded for the imprisoned Heavenly Master Sect people.
It's just that Duan Taishou, who was originally elated, frowned a little when he heard that it was the matter of the Heavenly Master Sect and the people, and he was not interested. In the end, I was fortunate to have a pleading word, and Xuan Huai happily agreed. Seeing that Taishou agreed, Bao Chuxiong also seemed to have a matter on his mind. Now, the county lieutenant, who was in a good mood, said quickly:
"Lord Duan, today I am saying that Bao Chuxiong has really convinced you!"
"Oh?"
If it weren't for the help of Hall Master Zhang in this crackdown on bandits, Chu Xiong would have become a lost ghost long ago. Before I set out on the expedition, I saw that the adults valued Hall Master Zhang, and I was a little confused at first, but now that I think about it, Chu Xiong is really stupid!"
"Ha, haha!"
"This is the first time that Lord Du Wei has flattered the old man! In fact, Hall Master Zhang is a young talent, and his magic power is boundless, and the lower officials have been admired for a long time!"
Hearing that Bao Chuxiong was convinced, Duan Xuanhuai laughed with his hand, obviously proud. Of course, for the polite words of Taishou, the awakening will not be taken seriously.
Bidding farewell to Taishou Duwei and others, Xingyan and Qiong Wei rode the thin donkey together and embarked on the way home together. Now in the young man's heart, he no longer has the heart to think about the sword and sword, and the fierce battle, and he only thinks about returning to his peaceful Thousand Bird Cliff as soon as possible.
Behind the two of them, the water blue Xuanniao floating golden flag, which has been left as the banner of the Nanhai County Army, is waving in the wind in the air above Jieyang, hunting sound......
