Chapter 160: Struggle

、、、、、、、

In the early morning, when the sky was just bright, the sky around Qingyun Mountain was covered with dark clouds, and soon raindrops fell. The rain grew from small to heavy, and soon the heavens and the earth became gray, and the sound of the rain was everywhere, shrouding the towering mountains in a cloud of mist, which seemed hazy and mysterious.

The sound of rain hitting the emerald green bamboo leaves seems to have not changed for thousands of years, and it will always seem very lonely on Qingyun Mountain. From the moss-covered roof of the roof, which extends out from the mossy roof, the water droplets turn into a curtain of water from the ticking room, and the wisps fall like pearls and fall on the bluestone-paved ground, splashing water particles like pearl crumbs.

There is wind in the rain, blowing in the rain flowers one after another, with a touch of moisture and rain powder, wandering between the windowsills, as if they are also nostalgic for something.

Lu Xueqi stood in front of the window, looking at the misty rain and mountains outside the window, endlessly, in such a cold time, it seemed that only the sound of rain hitting bamboo leaves in the distance echoed in the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth.

The breeze passed, the dark hair on her sideburns fluttered gently, and the feeling of rain powder brushing her face seemed to be a burst of coldness into her skin. She pursed her lips lightly, holding her hand on the windowsill, and the sound of the rain sounded far and near, but in the end it seemed to fall deep in her heart.

I just don't know, are there any ripples?

Footsteps sounded outside the house, someone knocked lightly on the door, Lu Xueqi looked back silently, quietly came back from the misty smoke and rain, walked over and opened the door, and standing outside the door was senior sister Wen Min.

Lu Xueqi smiled faintly at the corner of her mouth and said, "Senior sister." ”

Wen Min looked at her slightly haggard face, frowned, and walked in, Lu Xueqi immediately closed the door, and the two sat down in the simple room. Wen Min first looked at the bed, but saw that the bedding on the bed was neat, sighed, and said, "Didn't you sleep last night?"

Lu Xueqi said quietly: "I can't sleep." ”

Wen Min looked at Lu Xueqi, and felt a slight tingling in her heart, she entered Xiaozhufeng earlier than Lu Xueqi, and she has always been a good friend, with Lu Xueqi's lofty and arrogant personality, in addition to her mentor Shui Yue, only Wen Min is the best with her on weekdays, and she can say a few words. Recently, Lu Xueqi has been in constant trouble, and Wen Min is also quite anxious in her eyes when she looks at it from the sidelines, but although she is empty, she still has nothing to do, so she has to watch Lu Xueqi and the master and the elders of Qingyunmen get more and more stiff.

There was some silence in the room for a while, and Wen Min didn't know what to say, but after a while, Lu Xueqi opened her mouth and said softly: "Senior sister, this time for my business, I really can't live with you." ”

Wen Min was stunned and said, "What?"

Lu Xueqi said: "I heard that a few days ago, Uncle Tian and Uncle Su Ru of Dazhufeng personally brought Senior Brother Song Daren and Song to propose marriage, but Master refused in person, and had a big quarrel with Uncle Tian. ”

Wen Min smiled bitterly, there was a bit of bitterness in his smile, and he slowly shook his head and said, "Alas...... That, that's nothing, and it's none of your business, it's all because I have nothing to do with him, and we all know that Master has always hated the people of Dazhufeng. ”

Lu Xueqi shook her head silently and said, "No, that day was the time when I contradicted the master and angered her old man, so even bringing it will affect you, otherwise with Uncle Su Ru by the side, and Uncle Tian is willing to give such a big face to personally come to the door to propose marriage, most of your things can be done." But...... Senior sister, I'm really sorry!"

Wen Min smiled, let out a long breath, and said, "Okay, don't blame yourself here, I'm not very good, and the master is just angry for a while, and he may not have a chance in the future." Speaking of this, she glanced at Lu Xueqi and said, "Don't talk about me, it's you, what are you going to do, you can't keep stalemate with Master like this, right?"

Lu Xueqi's face turned pale and she was silent.

Wen Min pondered for a long time and said, "Senior sister, I know a little bit about your thoughts, but it's never a way for you to go on like this, Zhang ...... That person has entered the demon path after all, and is spurned by the righteous path of the world, and he takes a step back and says, you go to the southwest this time, in the battlefield of the fierce battle between the demon sect and the beast demon, you ...... the scene there."

Wen Min suddenly stopped and didn't say anything, because at this moment, Lu Xueqi's face seemed to lose its bloodluster in an instant, and even her clear eyes seemed to be engraved with deep pain.

There was silence for a long time in the middle of the room, and the sound of rain outside the window was lonely.

Finally, Wen Min still said in a low voice: "He's just afraid that he is really no longer alive, you are so persistent, it will only be you who suffers." ”

Lu Xueqi's face was pale, she didn't speak, she slowly stood up, walked to the windowsill and stared out, the mountain rain and fog, misty and lingering, like a dream, even the rain powder droplets blowing in the wind at this moment, as if they were also cold with a trace of unreal feeling.

"I know ......" the cold and beautiful woman, in this rain of smoke, said softly: "He may really be gone, sometimes I also think about it, in fact, for him, this is not a relief." I also know that there is nothing wrong with Master scolding me, it is all me who is wrong, I should not be delusional, I should not be ...... Don't ......"

Her voice suddenly choked a little, Wen Min stood up, and was about to go up to comfort her, but Lu Xueqi suddenly turned around, and her white clothes fluttered between the turns, like a lonely cloud.

There seemed to be water droplets in the corners of her eyes, crystal clear and clear, with a trace of sadness that she had never had, and said, "Senior sister, I know everything, but I just can't let it go." Even though I have slashed this love thread thousands of times, I still keep cutting it after all, and I can't escape. After I came back from the Southwest, I don't know how many times I said to myself, he died, he died, it was all over. However, every night after I fell asleep, I dreamed of the miserable scene in the Valley of the Viper, and I dreamed that he was ...... by the beast demon."

Lu Xueqi stopped suddenly, her expression was so excited that Wen Min was a little worried, but Lu Xueqi quickly calmed down, only there was still a bit of sadness in her eyes: "Then, I woke up, covered in a cold sweat, like being in an ice cellar!"

She looked at Wen Min silently, and then her expression gradually became fragile, as if her body began to tremble slightly, and said, "Senior sister, what's wrong with me, what's wrong with me?" She suddenly threw herself into Wen Min's arms, Wen Min hugged her shoulders, only to feel that her thin body was trembling slightly, and her low voice came from her ears.

"Senior sister, I can't stand it anymore, I'm really about to lose it......"

Wen Min was silent, hugging Lu Xueqi, who had never been so vulnerable, this cold woman who was once tall and arrogant, but at this moment she seemed to be the saddest person in the world.

......

Silence covered everything again, the sound of rain outside the window was rushing, and there seemed to be a low choking sound in the wind. Outside the hut, at the edge of the bamboo forest, Master Shuiyue stood silently, holding an oilcloth green umbrella in his hand, looking at the house in the wind and rain in a daze.

Then, she slowly turned away and disappeared into the bamboo forest.

Between heaven and earth, the wind and rain are bleak, and it is a bleak time.

In Heyang City, it usually rains. Zhou Zhou Xian, Xiaohuan and Wild Dog Daoren walked out of another remote alley, merged into the crowded street, tried to walk a few steps, and then retreated to the side of the road to stand, first, there were too many people to walk, and second, they also took shelter from the rain first, and discussed.

And this time the three of them have been divided into two factions, Xiaohuan insisted that he would go back to the Yin Mansion of Nayizhuang again, but Zhou Zhou Xian refused to do anything about it, and the wild dog Taoist supported Zhou Zhou Xian for the first time this time.

Xiaohuan is weak, but she has a clever tongue, one person argues with two people, and although the wild dog Taoist has a different opinion from her this time, she is often speechless when she is glared at by Xiaohuan, so most of the time only Zhou Zhou Xian is opposed.

At this moment, the three of them were standing on the side of the road, and Zhou Zhou Xian lowered his voice and said, "You stupid girl, what are you going to do in such a dangerous place, do you go back to die?"

Xiaohuan pouted and said, "It's a shame that you've lived so long, grandpa, do you know that there is something called morality?"

Zhou Zhou Xian said angrily: "Morality, morality, what kind of morality do you talk about when you die, that guy like a ghost is very tight, aren't we going back to die?"

The wild dog Taoist nodded on the side and said, "Yes, it's really inappropriate to go back......

Xiaohuan's eyes came to him, and he glanced at him, and the wild dog Dao's heart jumped, and he couldn't say any more.

Xiaohuan turned his head and looked at Zhou Xiandao: "Grandpa, if someone hadn't saved us last night, we would have died a long time ago, and we wouldn't be standing here arguing about morality or immorality." Wouldn't it be right to go back and see it now?"

Zhou Zhouxian's face remained unchanged, and he said: "It's because we were saved by him, so we have to cherish our lives even more, otherwise if we fall into the net and fall into the tiger's mouth, wouldn't we live up to the ghost's intentions?"

Xiaohuan was stunned, and couldn't think of anything to refute Zhou Zhou Xian for a while, Zhou Zhou Xian couldn't help but be proud when he saw this, and said with a smile: "Don't you have anything to say?"

Xiaohuan said angrily: "You know that person is ghostly and unfathomable, don't you care about your savior at all?"

Zhou Zhou Xian was calm and calm, and said: "You can rest assured, the ghost is that he wants to have a way, and he wants a magic weapon to have a magic weapon, and he is only afraid that he is more gloomy than the coffin, and it is really difficult to die, what are you worried about......?"

"Why, have you ever shown me a photo?" Suddenly, a voice came out of the side, and the three of them were startled, and turned their heads to look, only to see that the ghost suddenly appeared beside them at some point, and in broad daylight, he seemed to flash out of the rain.

Although the rain was already quite heavy at this moment, there were too many people fleeing in Heyang City, and most of them were also full of fear of the upcoming beast demons, so they didn't pay attention to this rain. In fact, these days, the people in Heyang City who are out of control because their emotions are too tense have been seen from time to time, fortunately, the disciples of Qingyunmen have maintained order in the city, and most of them have arrived in a short time to deal with it, but the people's panic has also made this city immersed in an atmosphere on the verge of madness all day long.

Xiaohuan and the other three were stunned for a moment, and then Xiaohuan was overjoyed, and couldn't help but shout softly: "It's you......"

Zhou Zhou Xian and Wild Dog Daoist both frowned at the same time, Zhou Zhou Xian snorted, and actually said the same thing: "It's you ......"

Ghost Li ignored Zhou Zhou Xian and the two, first glanced at Xiaohuan, saw that there was obvious sincere joy on her young face, and couldn't help but have a trace of warmth in her eyes, nodded slightly, and said, "It's me." ”

At this time, the monkey Xiao Gray, who was lying on the shoulder of the ghost, because the rain had soaked the hair on his body, also squeaked twice at Xiaohuan, grinning, and seemed to be very happy to see Xiaohuan.

Xiaohuan smiled happily and said to Xiao Gray: "You still remember me! As she spoke, she glanced up at Ghost Li, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You, were you okay last night?"

Ghost Li nodded and said, "I'm fine." ”

Xiaohuan put his mind at ease, looked at the ghost twice, and suddenly somehow, his face turned red, and his eyes immediately turned to Xiao Gray, smiled and opened his hands, and said, "Come, come here and I'll hug you." ”

Xiao Gray squeaked twice, suddenly kicked his feet, left Ghost Li's shoulder, and jumped straight into Xiaohuan's arms. Xiaohuan ate and laughed, only felt that the monkey was wet, and was about to take out a cloth to wipe it, but the monkey also seemed to feel uncomfortable, and suddenly his whole body trembled, and he threw the water droplets everywhere. Xiaohuan screamed, but he didn't want to leave the monkey behind, so he hurriedly closed his eyes, and after a while, the monkey made water droplets all over his face and clothes.

Xiaohuan opened his eyes and glared at Xiao Gray, and the monkey's three eyes blinked, motionless. Xiaohuan snorted, threw his hands away, and threw Xiao Ash back on Ghost Li, Xiao Ash climbed onto Ghost Li's shoulders with three feet and two feet, and watched Xiao Huan busy sorting out his clothes, and couldn't help but squeak and laugh again.

Xiaohuan couldn't cry or laugh, bit his lower lip and secretly glanced at Ghost Li, then lowered his head to sort out his clothes, Ghost Li turned around and glanced at Zhou Zhou Xian, Zhou Zhou Xian's heart was a little weak, and said: "Hey, stinky boy, I was your savior at the beginning, you can't mess around." ”

The ghost pondered for a moment, looked around, and saw that the people next to him were all taking care of themselves, and no one noticed here, so he asked Zhou Xiandao: "Who are you?"

Zhou Xianyi raised his head and said, "The old man is a master. ”

The little ring and the wild dog next to him both shook their bodies, obviously this answer made people feel very weird.

However, Ghost Li obviously ignored this "master", and asked directly without moving: "Last night, your earth escape technique has been lost for a long time, but according to the legend, this kind of Dao technique is the ability of Qingyunzi, the patriarch of Qingyunmen, when he walked the rivers and lakes, how can you have it?"

He looked at Zhou Xian deeply and said, "Do you have anything to do with Qingyunmen?"

Zhou Zhou Xian was silent for a moment, and said: "Okay! Now, I won't hide it from you......" Xiaohuan and the wild dog Daoren were both stunned, seeing that Zhou Zhou Xian's expression was serious, not like a joke, they couldn't help but get serious.

I only heard Zhou Xian say slowly: "The thing is actually like this, when the old man was young, he was handsome, dashing, graceful, talented, and smart...... Well, don't look at me like that, I'll just go on. When the old man was young, he collected medicine for a living, and once went into the mountains to collect medicine, and accidentally fell into a cliff......"

Ghost Li, Xiaohuan and Wild Dog Daoren frowned at the same time, but Zhou Zhou Xian seemed to be gradually happy as he spoke, and continued: "But the old man has a big life, and he was actually hooked by a pine tree in mid-air, blocking most of the fall, and then falling down again, but there was actually a waterhole under the cliff, so the old man was lucky not to die......"

Xiaohuan couldn't help but interject: "Grandpa, why do I seem to have heard your story somewhere, and it seems that many people say so, and many heroes in the romance commentary are going to fall off the cliff like this......"

Zhou Zhou Xian glared at Xiaohuan and said angrily: "Is it me who says or you say, shut up." Well, where did the old man go, well, he fell off the cliff, but the old man had a big life, and he was lucky not to die, and then he accidentally discovered a secret book left by a senior master who didn't know how many years ago, the old man was talented, and he comprehended the secret book under the cliff, fed on the aura of heaven and earth, and traveled through time, and finally let the old man cultivate the right result and become an immortal......"

Ghost Li said coldly: "Do you have anything like an immortal besides your name?"

Zhou Zhou Xian was stunned for a moment, his face was a little embarrassed, but then he returned to normal, and said awe-inspiringly: "The old man is for the common people in the world, doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, so he is playing in the world." ”

Ghost Li said lightly: "Then do you want to tell me that your earth escape technique was learned from that secret book?"

Zhou Zhou Xian nodded again and again, and said with a straight face: "Exactly, the son can be taught." But after finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the people around him, not to mention the ghost, but only to see that Xiaohuan and the wild dog Taoist also clearly displayed the word "disbelief" on their faces.

Ghost Li looked at this person, he naturally wouldn't believe such nonsense, but since Zhou Zhou Xian said such words, no matter what, he was unwilling to tell his identity after all. However, although this person seems to be involved with Qingyun Mountain, he has also gotten along with him in the past, and there is nothing wrong with it, not to mention that in Ghost Li's heart, he always looks at Zhou Zhou Xian and the other three people differently.

As soon as he thought of this, Ghost Li stopped forcing each other, but he didn't want to say anything more, and was about to say a few words to a few of them before leaving, when suddenly at this time, a frightened scream broke out in the crowd in the distance on the south side of Heyang City, and the voice was extremely terrible.

Everyone was taken aback, and when they looked back, the people on the street next to them also turned their heads in unison, only to see that the street that was originally full of people was staggering, and the towering city wall in the distance was also full of people, but at this moment they were all running around. In the misty rain, a terrible scream sounded in the sky, a huge bird of prey opened its arms, a pair of big eyes flashed with blood-red fierceness, from the sky, the wings spread out, and it was half the width of the city gate, it was really terrifying.

The huge wind was driven by the giant bird, and the wind struck, and the mast on the city wall was broken by the fierce wind and fell down. The people at the head of the wall were terrified and ran in all directions, and the giant bird fell from the sky, with a scream, and its huge and sharp claws grabbed the two running people like a demon's hand, and then rose to the sky, and disappeared into the sky in a blink of an eye.

The entire Heyang City fell into a dead silence in an instant, and after a long time, I don't know who was the first to exclaim loudly: "Beast demon, it's the beast demon here, we're finished......"

In an instant, the whole city fell into hysteria, and countless people howled loudly, wailed, and chaos.

Only the sky and the earth were clouded with smoke and rain, and it was still silent, as if nothing had happened!
