Chapter 2 Meeting
There was no sound in all directions, except for the occasional sound of branches popping in the fire. Neither the strange boy nor the ghost spoke again, and the flames stretched and shrank, burning between them.
The sè on the surface of the roast pig gradually turned into a golden sè, and a slight burnt smell emerged from the rich aroma at the same time, at this time the surface of the entire roast pig was covered by a transparent layer of light oil droplets, and the ghost finally turned the roast pig a few times, and said, "It's okay, you can eat it!"
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Ash and Gluttony pounced at the same time, Xiao Ash "squeaked" and screamed, and reached out to grab one of the hind legs of the roast pig first, and the pig skin that was being roasted seemed to have no feeling at all in its hands. It's just that the gluttony is even more powerful, and he doesn't move his hands and feet and claws, he directly opens his bloody mouth, ignoring that the pork is still above the flames, he directly sticks his head into it and bites it down.
Gluttonous mouth, the already huge mouth became bigger and more terrifying, a huge roast pig, was bitten by this monster in its whole mouth, leaving only one hind leg to be caught by Xiao Ash and left outside.
Little Ash was furious, the monkey showed an angry expression on his face, grabbed the pig's leg in his hand, and jumped to his feet and screamed at the same time, but the gluttonous beast didn't care so much, the sharp teeth "Cracked" and bitten, and the delicious pork was bitten into two pieces like a devastating one, and the little ash was caught off guard, and fell backwards too hard for a while, rolled twice in the ground, and only grabbed a pig's leg in his hand when he stood up.
As for the vast majority of the delicious roast pig, at this moment, it was bitten in the mouth by gluttony, chewing loudly, and the remaining pork bones seemed to be directly bitten and swallowed by it into the stomach, eating like a wind and clouds, sweeping thousands of troops, especially the four eyes on the face, squeezed to both sides of the face by the bulging mouth, and the four eyes were still shining, obviously eating very enjoyable.
"Squeak, squeak......" Little Gray saw that most of the delicious food that originally belonged to him was robbed by this evil beast, how not to be angry, but after screaming a few times, he lowered his head violently and gnawed it, and it ate very quickly, but after a while, a pork leg ate most of it.
"Roar, ......" The gluttonous low roar sounded again, and slowly turned his head to look at Xiao Ash, such a big roast pig, it was eaten clean by it in just a while, and swallowed it directly, not even the bones were left. And obviously, the gluttony was still unfinished, and his eyes lit up, staring at the last flesh and bone in Xiao Ash's hand.
The little gray viciously ate the last piece of meat, and the three eyes widened together, looking at the gluttony. Gluttony was full of salivation, salivating, and walked over to Xiao Ash step by step, Xiao Shen waved his hand violently, and the remaining bones in his hand were thrown far away in the other direction, while showing a gloating expression on his face. Unexpectedly, the gluttonous figure flashed, like lightning and light, and in the blink of an eye, it soared into the air to catch up with the flying flesh and bones, bit it down, turned in the air, flew back again, and landed beside the young man. It's just that at this time, the gluttony seems to know that this is the last thing, and he didn't swallow it in one gulp, but cherished it very much, sticking out his tongue and licking it on the meat and bones.
Xiao Ash was frightened by the gluttonous appearance, and after a while, he turned his head to Ghost Li, and suddenly danced with his hands and squeaked in his mouth, Ghost Li looked at it for a while, and suddenly his face moved, and said, "You said it looks like rhubarb?"
Xiao Ash nodded immediately, and then looked at the gluttony, and the anger on the monkey's face gradually receded, replaced by a strange and warm god. It looked at the glutton, who was licking the flesh and bones, for a moment, and then carefully moved over, slowly reaching out, looking at the hideous head that seemed to want to touch the glutton. Gluttony's ferocious head turned, and Jǐng let out a low roar, and Xiao Ash immediately jumped back, but then squeaked twice and approached Gluttony again, and Glutton's attention seemed to temporarily leave the flesh and bones and put it on Xiao Ash.
After a while, Xiao Ash's hand stretched out again, and the gluttony did not move, but all four eyes looked at Xiao Ash's hand, and Ghost Li and the boy remained silent, especially the young man's eyes had a strange light, silently watching the communication between the two strange beasts.
Xiao Ash's hand touched the glutton's head, touched it gently, the glutton's mouth roared twice, but there was no longer any objection, and his attention returned to the meat and bone in front of him, Xiao Ash then slowly approached the side of the strange beast, and gently stroked the glutton's body with his hand, and the monkey's face showed a happy look.
Ghost Li slowly lowered his head, vaguely remembering that many years ago, on the Big Bamboo Peak, between Xiao Ash and Big Rhubarb, it seemed that they were also close like this. Time is like water, and it turns out that Xiao Ash still remembers the beginning......
The young man suddenly broke the silence and said with a slight smile: "I didn't expect the two of them to be very close, didn't they?"
Ghost Li glanced at Xiao Ash and Gluttony, and there was also a trace of warmth in his eyes, and said, "Not bad." ”
The young man turned his head, added a small twig to the fire, and was silent again, and after a long time suddenly smiled: "This gluttony has followed me for I don't know how many years, I always thought that I was taking care of it, but I didn't expect to find out today that it is much happier than me." The smile on his face seemed to have a vague meaning of bitterness, and he said, "In addition to eating and drinking, even if you are not of the same kind, there is still a monkey like you who is willing to be friends with it." ”
Ghost Li raised his eyes to look at the young man, and saw that his face was gloomy, as if he had an indescribable sense of loneliness, and said lightly: "If you are lonely, just go find a friend." ”
The young man snorted and said proudly: "The world is so big, who is worthy of being my friend, and who dares to be my friend?"
Ghost Li frowned, this young man's tone was so big, it was really exaggerated, and he felt a little disgusted in his heart, but he saw that the young man seemed to remember something, his face was gloomy, and he whispered to himself: "However, it turned out that there was a person, and I really believed in her ......"
Ghost Li looked at him through the flames burning in front of him, and said indifferently, "What?"
The young man's face suddenly turned cold, and he sneered: "Later, I found out that she was lying to me, not only that, but she also hurt me so badly, almost never to recover!"
The ghost was silent, and from the young god, he unexpectedly recalled the past buried deep in his heart ten years ago, and the face of the kind monk seemed to appear in front of his eyes again......
He shook his head violently, but with the strength of his hand, the branches that had been added to the fire made a slight hoarse sound, turned into powder, and scattered all over the ground.
The young man glanced at his hand, and suddenly said, "Do you also have such a sad past?"
The young man looked at him, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "If you are going to die now, do you still have any wishes?"
The ghost was stunned, his heart was confused, and in an instant, he had thousands of thoughts, one after another, and this question that he had never thought of was suddenly placed in front of him, deep hatred, great hatred, ten years of old wishes, lingering white clothes, this life is full of ups and downs, but he has never thought about what is the last wish in his deep heart?
It should be to save Baguio, if he can save her, he will be willing to die! This thought he has thought about in his heart many times and times in countless nights in the past ten years. It's just that there is still that frost-like face, which can't be abandoned after all, and flutters gently in a secluded corner of my heart......
He was stupid for a while, the night wind was bleak, and he didn't know how much time had passed, and when he woke up, the boy had disappeared, and the gluttony on the ground seemed to have just soared into the sky, blending with the dark night, and its low roar could be heard from afar.
Xiao Ash jumped on his shoulder, squeaked twice, and Ghost Li slowly looked up at the sky, and suddenly whispered: "Little Ash, I always have to see her again, right?"
Xiao Ash didn't seem to understand much, and didn't bother to pay attention to it, and the monkey head raised and looked at the sky, as if he was still looking for a gluttonous figure.
The ashes of the fire that were gradually extinguishing gradually turned into a wisp of light smoke, gently drifting away, and Ghost Li and Xiao Ash stood silently in the deep mountains and forests, for a long time, and in the night wind, there was only a faint low voice.
“...... Always have to see her......"
With the passage of time, the situation has become more and more tragic, the monsters and alien races have entered Middle-earth, the people have suffered heavy casualties, most of the disciples sent out by the righteous path to investigate have disappeared, and a few disciples who are slightly higher in the path have come back, and they have also hung colors on their bodies, and when they report to the decent teachers, they say that the monsters are terrifying.
At this time, it was reported that Qingyun Gate, Tianyin Temple, and Incense Valley were all in Qingyun Mountain, and invited the world's righteous path to deal with this catastrophe together. In just a few years, thousands of people had gathered near Qingyun Mountain as never before, and most of them were Middle-earth people who had fled, and in their eyes, these immortal-like cultivators of Qingyun Mountain were already their last hope.
Qingyunmen, who was in charge of reception, was very busy, and more and more Taoist friends and people came to Qingyun, and soon the rooms on Qingyunmen's Tongtian Peak were no longer enough, so they had to let other veins also open their rooms. Fortunately, Qingyunmen is a thousand-year-old sect after all, with deep roots and great karma, and it was finally accommodated, but the Xiaozhufeng vein among the seven veins, because they have always been female disciples, and Master Shuiyue is strange and strange, so it is not open to the outside world, which makes many young foreign disciples who have been admired for a long time very regretful.
But in any case, although the catastrophe is current, but this time it is still an unprecedented gathering of righteousness, Qingyunmen Gong is the landlord, and his reputation is even more unabated than before, vaguely the world has the meaning of Qingyun Horse's head, and Qingyunmen's head Dao Xuan Zhenren is firmly in the position of the first person in the world at this time.
At night, the peaks of the Qingyun Mountains are brightly lit, it is really a grand occasion that has not been seen for thousands of years, far below the mountain, with the mountain wind blowing, it seems that you can also hear the loud chatter and laughter of the people on the high mountain, because of the catastrophe and the people who are afraid in this situation, it seems that the mood is also much more relaxed. After all, even if the sky falls, isn't there still a Qingyun Mountain overhead?
And at this moment, the quietest place on Qingyun Mountain is probably no more than Xiaozhu Peak. After Qingyunmen's kind explanation, all the sects strictly restrained their disciples and strictly forbade them to get close to Xiaozhufeng, after all, if it was under the current situation, if there was still a farce of the prodigal son, I was afraid that no one's face would look good.
Compared with the bustle on the peaks of other veins, the small bamboo peak seems to be much cleaner, there are occasionally two or three beautiful female disciples of the small bamboo peak on the mountain road, the mountain breeze blows, and the tears and bamboos all over the mountain shake together, making a rustling sound.
This night the moon was cold, shining on the small bamboo peak mountain road, the bamboo shadow swayed, and the yīn shadow swayed on the mountain road steps. Four or five female disciples of Xiaozhufeng came in the distance, and the first one was Wen Min. I saw that these female disciples, including Wen Min, had a little heavy face, their brows furrowed, and they seemed to be very preoccupied.
The cold wind blew in the bamboo forest, as if a black shadow flickered.
The youngest girl next to Wen Min looked no more than thirteen years old, and she was quite timid, she glanced at the dark place, her face was a little pale, she approached Wen Min, grabbed her clothes, and said softly: "Big, senior sister, there, there seems to be someone there!"
Wen Min and the others were taken aback, and after a while, Wen Min showed a smile on his face, patted the little girl's face, and said: "Little poem, that is the shadow of the mountain wind blowing the bamboo, and the bamboo branches swaying, it is like this every night, you just went up the mountain not long ago, and you will know it after a while." ”
The girl called Xiaoshi breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little scared, but she seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned her head to look at the back mountain, and said, "Senior sister, there is not even a figure around that moon platform in the back mountain, there are these yīn things everywhere, let's leave Senior Sister Xueqi alone over there, will she be afraid?"
Wen Min's face was gloomy, he sighed, and said, "It was the master who asked your Senior Sister Xueqi to reflect there, and we can't help it, but Senior Sister Xueqi shouldn't be afraid!"
The other woman standing behind Wen Min suddenly snorted, with a lot of grievances, and said, "I really don't understand, why does the head of the family treat Xue Qi like this, just because she refuses to agree to the marriage proposal of Incense Valley?"
"Bang", in the depths of the bamboo forest, there seemed to be a slight low sound, like some little beast stepping on a bamboo branch, but all the women's attention was attracted at the moment, and they didn't hear this sound, only the youngest Xiaoshi seemed to be a little suspicious, but she glanced at the depths of the bamboo forest, only to see yīn shadow shaking, and couldn't help but have a white face, and quickly turned her head not to look.
Wen Min sighed and said: "Actually, that Brother Li Xun is really not bad, he is a talent, and his life experience is good, and most of the position of the valley lord of the Incense Valley was passed on to him, and looking at his appearance, he also cherishes Xue Qi very much, but the word of love is really not something that can be forced." ”
Another woman suddenly complained in a low voice: "Master is really, knowing Xueqi's temper, why don't you help her intercede with the head of the family?"
Originally, the woman shook her head and said: "I don't think it's right, Xue Qi used to listen to the master's words the most, and she also respected the head of the Dao Xuan Master Uncle very much, but this time she openly collided with the two of them on Tongtian Peak, I see ......" She suddenly lowered her voice and said softly: "Could it be that Xue Qi already has a crush in her heart......"
"Shut up!" Wen Min suddenly whispered, everyone was shocked, Wen Min's face relaxed slightly, but his tone was still very stern, and he said in a low voice: "We must not talk nonsense about this kind of speculation, otherwise if it reaches the ears of the head of the master and the master, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
Everyone was silent, and the woman standing behind Wen Min was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Senior sister, in fact, if it seems to me, I am afraid that we can only think of it, what kind of characters are the master and master, how could we not think of it......?
Wen Min turned his head violently and stared at her, the woman's face changed slightly, sighed, and stopped talking. Wen Min listened to her sigh, she was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh: "Senior Sister Lin, in fact, we all have the same mood, Xueqi and a few of us, although we are different when we started, but in the past ten years, everyone has already fallen in love with sisters, and no one wants to see her become like this." But...... Alas, I don't know how to say it, anyway, I think Master has always loved Xueqi the most, and I won't embarrass her too much after all. ”
The other female disciples www.biquge.info their heads, and everyone walked slowly, talking in a low voice, and there was a faint sigh, and gradually walked away.
The shadow of the bamboo forest swayed, and suddenly a black shadow seemed to float out of the deep darkness and landed on the mountain road. In this place surrounded by mortal enemies, his face was faintly pale, and he was silent for a long time, and then slowly turned back to look at the back mountain of Xiaozhu Peak. Behind that bamboo forest, the moonlight is as clear as frost, and it is said that it is the location of the small bamboo peak of the six views of Qingyun.
The cliffs hanging alone in mid-air, except for the back half, which are connected to the mountain, are mostly suspended in the air. This evening moon is bright, hanging high in the sky, clear and bright like water, sprinkled on the world like frost and snow, and falls on this moon-watching platform. Although it is not as bright as the legendary full moon night, which can illuminate the entire small bamboo peak, the moonlight on the moon platform is soft, illuminating the entire cliff as bright as day, especially the smooth rocks on the ground because of the different angles, reflecting countless moonlights, which is particularly cold and beautiful.
When Ghost Li stepped on the moon platform, what appeared in front of him was this beautiful scenery. And in the frosty moonlight, there was a woman dressed in white like snow, standing on the moon platform in front of the cliff with her back to him, looking at the endless night in the distance, standing silently.
The ghostly face was indifferent, but a pair of eyes seemed to be shining because of the reflection of this beautiful moonlight, and the white-clothed figure, like a fairy standing in the moonlight, did not look at the slightest earthly taste.
As if sensing something, the figure moved, and Lu Xueqi's cold and slightly tired voice sounded: "Senior sister, why are you back again......"
She turned her head slowly, while talking, but halfway through her words, her voice suddenly disappeared, and Lu Xueqi's always indifferent and plain face showed a look of disbelief, the figure of a man, standing there silently, staring at her.
"Zhang ......" she opened her mouth slightly, but her voice was already low before she could say anything, "...... Xiao Fan. ”
Ghost Li stood in place, motionless, the moonlight shining on Lu Xueqi's ice-like skin, almost as transparent as flawless, adding to her thrilling beauty. Far away, he had a feeling that he didn't dare to approach.
"Are you alright?" he had a thousand words in his belly, but after all, there were only these few words.
Lu Xueqi stared at this man, the man standing at the junction of the moonlight and yīn shadow, the expression on his face was so complicated, as if something was tormenting him in his heart, but that figure was clearly in front of him!
She lowered her head slightly, and stopped talking. After a long time, he said softly: "Since you are here, why don't you come?"
The ghost's body shook, and at this moment, Xiao Ash, who had been following him, didn't know where to go, only to see a flash of hesitation in his eyes, for him, it seemed that this short few steps also needed a lot of courage.
Lu Xueqi was still standing there, silent as promised, the mountain wind was blowing, and her white clothes fluttered gently.
Stepping out, walking on the moonlight, the bamboo forest rustling in the distance behind her, the woman in front of her quietly looked up, and the ghost stood in front of her.
Lu Xueqi looked at him, the initial excitement and panic on his face quietly disappeared, and suddenly said: "Do you remember what I said, the next time we meet, we will be enemies who will not stand on the other, you," she looked at him and said slowly: "Why do you still want to come to see me?"
The corners of Ghost Li's mouth moved, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly looked away, no longer looking at Lu Xueqi, just when Lu Xueqi's face gradually darkened, the man in front of her slowly turned his head again, as if hesitating, as if struggling, and finally said softly: "You, it seems that you have lost ...... thin."
Lu Xueqi's body was shocked, and there was a look of surprise on her face again, but then there was joy. For the first time in her life, her skin was as white as frost and snow, and a faint flush appeared, like crystal clear red jade, with endless tenderness and lingering shyness.
Even if there is no tomorrow, even if it is still dark ahead, if your heart is warm, maybe you won't be afraid......
This beautiful and cold woman suddenly smiled, like the most delicate lily in the middle of the night, smiling silently in the wind, and her white figure was as dazzling as in the moonlight. Ghost Li held his breath.
Lu Xueqi suddenly spoke, word by word: "I'm very happy!" Then, she was still smiling, her eyes were as soft as lingering water waves.
The night is deeper, and the moon sinks in the west.
Standing side by side on the cliff in front of the moon platform, looking at the darkness in front of them, the mountain wind blew, the clothes of the two people fluttered at the same time, and their figures were in the clear moonlight.
Gentle, it is the feeling of the wind blowing on the face!
In the vast and dark sky, there are still drops of starlight, quietly flickering.
"The people of the Incense Valley have proposed to you?"
After being silent for a long time, Lu Xueqi said calmly: "Yes, the master and the head of the master have agreed." ”
The ghostly voice sounded unchanged, and said lightly: "On the way here, I heard your senior sisters talking, I heard that you don't want to?"
Lu Xueqi smiled and said, "Yes, I don't want to." ”
Ghost Li turned his eyes to look at her, but what caught his eye was Lu Xueqi's indifferent face and a quiet smile between his eyebrows. There was a sudden excitement in his heart, as if the excitement rose from the depths of his heart, and even his body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "You come with me!"
Lu Xueqi's body trembled, and when she looked at him, she saw a ghost, no, in her eyes at this moment, it was clearly the same Zhang Xiaofan as she was at the beginning!
Where to go?
Whatever!
A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but there was a faint glitter in her eyes, as if she was hesitating about something, but after a while, she finally said softly: "What about Baguio?......
Like a basin of cold water poured from his head, the ghost is cold all over his body, and the cold that comes out of the deepest part of his heart seems to freeze him into ice in a blink of an eye. The aqua green figure, the serene smile, the beautiful figure lying on the cold stone platform, completely knocked him down in the blink of an eye.
He bowed his head silently for a long time, and then, when he looked up again, the excitement on his face was gone, replaced by indifference. Lu Xueqi watched his changes in a daze, and felt so clearly that the man in front of him gradually faded away from the lingering warmth and hid in the cold darkness.
She took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but who saw it, the faint tears in the corners of her eyes, the beauty that shook her heart at that moment!
"Next time," Ghost Li turned around and slowly left, "when we meet again, you use your sword!"
He left without looking back, like a resolute lover who broke off his love, and the moonlight followed behind him, like a gentle hand pulling weakly, but he couldn't pull his figure after all.
He disappeared into the darkness, that was where he came from, and where he left!
Lu Xueqi's pale face still had a faint smile that was a little stiff, and her snow-like white clothes fluttered in the wind, in the moonlight, until, she silently shed her first tears.
The tears and bamboos all over the mountains rustled in the moonlight, in such a bleak night......
