Chapter 21: Night
The Seven Veins Martial Arts is a big event once in Qingyunmen, and there are hundreds of more people on Tongtian Peak, and the accommodation naturally becomes tense. If everyone in the Great Bamboo Peak wants to live the kind of carefree person on the Great Bamboo Peak, it is delusional. Except for Tian Ling'er, who lived in the daughters of Xiaozhufeng, Dazhufeng started from Song Daren, and there were seven male disciples, all of whom were crammed into one room.
On Tongtian Peak, the residence of Qingyun disciples has always been a room for four people, and at this time, three bunks were made in the room, and they were finally squeezed down, but it was inevitable that it would be crowded. At this moment, I only heard someone complaining loudly: "Really, talking about how good Nagato is all day long, and now he actually wants seven of us to squeeze into a room, it's really stingy!"
"Sixth, don't complain, if it is heard by Nagato's senior brothers, it will not be good. โ
"Second senior brother, you are naturally very comfortable when you sleep on the bed, why don't you look at my junior brother lying on the cold ground, why don't we change the bed." โ
"Huhuhu"
"Isn't it, all of a sudden you're asleep and snoring?"
"Huhuhu"
"Hmph, ah, Fourth Senior Brother, you have always been handsome, dashing, graceful, talented, and talented."
"Huhuhu"
"What are you doing, is it very popular to fall asleep instantly? Hey, senior brother, you have always been kind-hearted, how can you look at me?"
"Huhuhu"
"You-ah, Third Senior Brother"
"Roar Roar Roar"
Everyone was frightened, and at this time, the wall suddenly sounded heavily, and someone next door shouted angrily: "Hey, do you people in Dazhufeng sleep so loudly at night?"
The room was suddenly quiet, and after a long time, I don't know who secretly laughed a few times, and later, the previous voice suddenly seemed to remember something: "Ah, Fifth Senior Brother, you"
"You, you, what are you, I'll sleep next to you, it's all on the ground, I want to change places, I don't care!"
"Ahem, it's okay. Alas, it's just that the floor is cold, but it's still a little shorter, and it can't sleep comfortably. โ
"Sixth Senior Brother, why are you talking with your eyes closed, don't you see that there is a big dog and a monkey here who are grabbing the quilt with me?
", but I'm still"
"Shut up, Sixth!" shouted several people in the room at the same time.
After dark, there were many other young disciples of the six veins who had come to Tongtian Peak for the first time to go out for a walk, and they were amazed and curious about the scenery of Tongtian Peak, but as the night deepened, everyone also went back to their respective rooms to sleep.
When darkness descended on this towering mountain, above the sky, a cold moon sprinkled clear light on the top of the mountain.
Zhang Xiaofan was sleeping soundly, and suddenly felt a few movements around him in a daze, and opened his sleepy eyes dimly, but saw that the monkey Xiao Ash and Rhubarb lying next to him were gone. He propped himself up and looked around, only to see the figure of the big rhubarb and yellow sรจ flashing by the door, with a yฤซn shadow on his back, which looked mostly monkey Xiao Ash.
Zhang Xiaofan wondered in his heart, the night was so late, where was this monkey and a dog going, he got up lightly, approved a piece of clothing randomly, and walked to the door, only to see that in the cold moonlight, Rhubarb was running towards the sea of clouds with Xiao Ash on his back.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the direction they were running to, and when he thought about it, he remembered that it was where Song Daren told him earlier that the kitchen of Tongtian Peak was located. It's angry and funny at the moment, this rhubarb has been raised by Tian Buyi for hundreds of years, and it can be regarded as an old dog, but he is so greedy. He wanted to go back to sleep anyway, but after thinking about it, he thought that if someone saw the yellow dog gray monkey of Dazhu Peak stealing food, it would be too ugly, and it would be better to chase them back.
He decided in his heart, raised his eyes, but saw that there was only a vague figure left at the moment with Rhubarb on his back and Xiao Ash, and hurriedly chased after him.
He ran all the way, cautiously on the way, did not alarm the same door in the other rooms, and when he ran to the square at the sea of clouds, he could no longer see the shadows of rhubarb and small gray, but only saw that under the cold moon, the clouds here floated lightly, like veil and smoke, and it was beautiful.
But after two more looks, he didn't have the heart to look any further, and turned his head to look around, and was about to walk in the direction of the kitchen, when suddenly his heart skipped a heavy beat.
In the depths of the sea of clouds, on the other side of the direction of the kitchen, in the misty clouds, there was a faint slender figure, walking forward, looking at the direction of the person, it seemed to be walking towards Hongqiao.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the figure in a daze, although it was far away, but this figure seemed to be deeply engraved in his heart, and he recognized it as Senior Sister Tian Ling'er at a glance.
The night is so deep!
Why did she go out alone, and where did she go alone?
Zhang Xiaofan froze in place, at a loss for a while, only felt that thousands of thoughts were flooding in his head, and his heart was like numbness, as if he had vaguely guessed something, but he never refused to admit it.
He turned his head, stared at the direction of the kitchen where the big yellow and small gray ran, ruthlessly, and walked there, and said to himself at the same time: "Zhang Xiaofan, you don't meddle with things!
walked seven steps like this, and the moonlight was like water, shining on this young man, who was extremely lonely. Then he stopped, looked up at the sky, and saw a cold moon hanging in the sky. His mouth seemed to move, and after a moment, he spun around, gritted his teeth, and ran in the direction where the figure had disappeared.
The moonlight shone on his running figure, with a bleak tenderness.
After only a while, Tian Ling'er's figure had disappeared into the sea of clouds, but Zhang Xiaofan didn't look at other places, and ran in the direction of Hongqiao. Soon, he went to the Hongqiao, the mountain wind blew, and the water on both sides of the Hongqiao rippled slightly, reflecting the moon in the sky, cold and beautiful, but Zhang Xiaofan ignored it completely, just ran hard.
Run, run, run!
After running across the Hongqiao, he still didn't see anyone's shadow. Until he ran to the end of the rainbow bridge, his heart suddenly felt a sense of confusion, the cold moonlight illuminated the edge of the blue water pool at the end of the rainbow bridge as bright as day, only to see a beautiful figure, standing by the pool, staring at the sparkling water, stunned.
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly became afraid, a kind of fear that he couldn't say himself, he only knew that he couldn't let his senior sister find out. He turned his eyes around and saw a small forest on the right hand side of the pond near the Hongqiao, so he quietly ran over and hid there, and secretly looked at Tian Ling'er from the shadow.
This hope seems to be eternal!
Under the moonlight, by the clear water, the young woman lowered her eyebrows with a little sadness and expectation, and there seemed to be a faint light in her eyes, as if she was longing for something, and it looked so beautiful. The mountain breeze swept across the water, swept past her, and also held its breath, stopped, and gently stroked her hair on the skirt of her clothes, lining her skin like snow.
In Zhang Xiaofan's deep heart, an indescribable tenderness suddenly surged, as if that woman was the person he wanted to protect all his life, even if he went through thousands of hardships for her, he did not hesitate and never regretted it.
At this moment, how much hope is eternity!
"Senior Sister Ling'er. Suddenly, a call came from Hongqiao, Tian Ling'er turned around suddenly, her eyes were full of joy in an instant, and the corners of her mouth also showed a sincere smile.
"Senior Brother Qi, you're here. โ
Zhang Xiaofan's heart seemed to be broken at that moment, but he didn't feel any pain, his whole heart was empty, and only the sentence "Senior Brother Qi, Senior Brother Qi, Senior Brother Qi"
He turned his head with difficulty, only to see a person walking quickly on the Hongqiao, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and extraordinary, and outstanding bearing, but it was not Qi Hao.
I saw Qi Hao walking quickly to Tian Ling'er's side, and said softly: "I'm sorry, my junior brothers are young and noisy, and they didn't fall asleep until they were late, so they came late, so you have been waiting for a long time." โ
Tian Ling'er was originally a little angry in her heart, but for some reason, as soon as she saw Qi Hao's figure, she disappeared without a trace, shook her head at the moment, and smiled: "It's okay, I haven't been here for long." After a pause, she glanced at the waterhole next to her and said, "But why do you want to meet here, Lingzun suddenly became angry during the day, and I am still a little scared?"
Qi Hao smiled and said: "It's okay, I've heard the master say that Lingzun is as usual, just a joke with our young disciples, and it makes such a fuss during the day, and it is even cleaner here at night, isn't it?"
Tian Ling'er's face turned red, lowered her head, and said, "We meet secretly like this, I don't know if it's okay?"
Qi Hao looked at her gentle and beautiful face, and said softly: "Senior Sister Ling'er, since we first met in Dazhufeng two years ago, I have never forgotten you. โ
Tian Ling'er subconsciously bit her lip, her face turned red again, but she didn't mean to be angry, but there was a hint of sweetness in her heart.
Qi Hao said again: "Senior Sister Ling'er, I"
Tian Ling'er suddenly raised her head and said, "Senior Brother Qi, it's okay if you call me Ling'er." At this, she suddenly lowered her head again and whispered, "That's what I, my father, and my mother all call me." โ
Qi Hao was overjoyed, as if he still didn't believe his ears, and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Really, Ling, Ling'er." โ
Tian Ling'er glanced at him, reached into his arms and slowly took out a small brocade box, lowered his eyes, looked at the ground, and seemed to muster up enough courage before whispering: "This 'cool pearl', I have been carrying it with me for the past two years." โ
When she said this, she didn't dare to look at Qi Hao again, but she didn't expect that after a long time, Qi Hao had no sound, Tian Ling'er felt strange in her heart, and secretly raised her eyes to look at him, only to see Qi Hao's eyes full of joy, full of smiles, and indescribable happiness.
The two of them looked at each other like this for a long time, and suddenly opened their arms and hugged each other.
The moon was cold, sprinkled on them, sprinkled in the woods, but it could not shine into the dark corners.
I don't know how long it took, the couple spoke gentle and secret words, until Qi Hao looked at the sky and saw that the moon had passed the eastern sky, and then said: "Ling'er, it's not too early, let's go back, otherwise if someone finds out, it's always bad." โ
Tian Ling'er thought about it and nodded. The two of them glanced at each other, and suddenly they both smiled, and without saying a word, Qi Hao took Tian Ling'er's hand and walked slowly towards Hongqiao, the two of them were like a pair of intimate mandarin ducks in the moonlight, leaning closely, and after a while, they disappeared on the Hongqiao.
This night sรจ is a little more bleak.
In the woods, in the shadow, Zhang Xiaofan walked out slowly, walked to the edge of the blue water pool in a daze, looked at the sparkling water, and looked at the cold moon reflected in the water, swaying gently with the light waves of the water.
He suddenly wanted to cry.
It's just that he didn't cry out after all, and the inexplicable pain in his heart was like a raging beast rushing around, making his heart scarred everywhere.
However, he gritted his teeth and said nothing.
It seems that he has returned to the way he was five years ago, at that time, he lost everything, except for Lin Jingyu by his side, the world has completely changed.
And tonight, at this time, he is alone, facing it alone.
"Roar", a low sound, sounding like the snort of some kind of beast, suddenly sounded behind him, Zhang Xiaofan woke up from his confusion, looked back, and was shocked into a cold sweat.
I saw that the Qingyunmen Zhenshan spirit beast, the behemoth water unicorn that everyone respectfully called "Lingzun", suddenly appeared behind him silently at this moment, and leaned very close, lowered his head, and a pair of giant eyes seemed to be attached to Zhang Xiaofan's body, and I don't know how it did it with such a big body, maybe Zhang Xiaofan was devastated, and he didn't notice it.
However, at this moment, Zhang Xiaofan's heart almost jumped out of his chest, seeing that the huge body of the water unicorn like a mountain was in front of him, and the long sharp fangs in the big mouth of the blood basin were shining in the moonlight, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and stumbled under his feet, but he tripped over a big stone and fell to the ground.
When he came out, his clothes were not neat, but he was just draped indiscriminately, and at this moment his body was shaking, and he only heard the sound of "bells", and something fell to the ground.
The sound spread quickly in this calm place, echoing above the water.
Zhang Xiaofan and the water unicorn lowered their heads at the same time, only to see that on the ground by the water, in the middle of Zhang Xiaofan and the water unicorn, a black whirring so-called "burning stick" was lying there quietly.
In the water qilin's huge eyes, Zhang Xiaofan's pale face and the ugly burning stick on the ground were reflected. Zhang Xiaofan only felt that his throat was dry, cold sweat was dripping down, and he desperately shouted in his heart, "Run, run, run!!"
But before the water qilin, no matter how delusional he was in his heart, a pair of feet didn't seem to be his own, and he couldn't move. The water qilin was a little strange at the moment, and after looking at Zhang Xiaofan twice, his attention seemed to be attracted by the burning stick. I saw that the giant beast was staring at the black whirring burning stick, looking up and down, and a big head turned and turned, but he never saw anything. After a moment, as if hesitating, it stretched out its front paws and carefully moved the burning stick.
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned on the side, although he was still very scared in his heart, his curiosity was aroused at the same time, thinking that this "Lingzun" had lived for thousands of years and was already old and confused, or could it be that he was as old and disrespectful as the big yellow dog on the big bamboo peak, and his childlike innocence was so interested in a burning stick?
I saw that the huge claws of the water unicorn lightly touched the burning stick, and then immediately retracted, looking at it, it seemed to be very afraid of this stick, but the burning stick moved, rolled a few times, and still lay there calmly, not moving.
There was confusion in Shui Qilin's eyes, but he still refused to give up, his huge head swung for a moment, and suddenly looked at Zhang Xiaofan, and a low but powerful roar came from his bloody mouth. Zhang Xiaofan's heart jumped suddenly, and in an instant, the muscles of his whole body tensed, and even his breathing stopped.
Unexpectedly, the water unicorn just glanced at him, and then looked at the burning stick again, and this time, it actually lowered its head, put its nose on the stick, and sniffed carefully. Zhang Xiaofan's heart was pounding, but looking at the strange behavior of the giant beast in front of him, he subconsciously thought that this was very similar to rhubarb, if he wasn't too nervous at the moment, he would almost laugh.
The water qilin sniffed for a while, and it was obvious that it still found nothing, it raised its head, and looked around with its big head, as if it was also confused, confused. However, the thousand-year-old spirit beast is a thousand-year-old spirit beast after all, and after thinking for a while, he decided to give up, only to see the water qilin "poof" and snort, and glared at Zhang Xiaofan with huge eyes, only to scare Zhang Xiaofan half to death, then shook his head and turned around and walked down the pool.
Zhang Xiaofan was shocked for a moment, and slowly got up, only then did he feel that the clothes behind his back were all wet, not to mention the cold sweat on his forehead like rain. He walked over to the burning stick, picked it up, looked it up and down, but could not see anything unusual, and could not help complaining loudly: "What a hell!"
Before the words fell, I suddenly heard a sound of water by the blue water pool next to me, and the boss rolled up a splash, and in the white waves, I vaguely saw the giant tail of the water unicorn turning out of the water.
Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback, and immediately put the burning stick in his arms, and ran away, only hearing the sound of water in the puddle behind him along the way, he didn't dare to look back again, just ran away desperately, the farther away from here, the better. After a while, he ran up to the Hongqiao, running straight up, until he could no longer hear the sound behind him, and only when he ran to the top of the Hongqiao did he stop and gasp for air.
"Whew, whew, whew!"
Zhang Xiaofan's breathing slowly calmed down, but he suddenly felt very tired, a kind of tiredness from the depths of his heart, lowered his head, and saw that under the moonlight, a lonely shadow had been following him.
He suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky, only to see the cold sky, a cold moon, hanging high in the sky. He looked at it stupidly, and was stunned for a while.
โปโปโป
In the morning, everyone woke up.
Du Bishu rubbed his waist and complained loudly: "Really, my waist is about to break after sleeping all night, how can I compete today?"
The fifth Lu Daxin frowned and said: "Sixth, don't scream, I also slept for one night, and I didn't feel any problems with my waist." โ
Song Daren also said on the side: "That's it, the sixth child, you complained all night last night, isn't it enough?
Du Bishu rolled his eyes strangely, and said: "Fifth Senior Brother, that is thick skin and thick meat, I don't feel it, I don't believe it, I don't believe it, ask the little junior brother, look at him, little junior brother, why are your eyes bloodshot, did you really not sleep well last night?"
Zhang Xiaofan packed up the futon and sat on a chair at the moment, looking out of the window in a daze, without any response, while Rhubarb was lying at his feet, and the monkey Xiaoshen was rummaging with Rhubarb's dog hair, as if looking for lice.
Du Bishu walked over and patted him on the shoulder. Zhang Xiaofan was excited, jumped up, and startled Rhubarb and Xiao Gray, he turned his head to look around, and said, "What, what's the matter?"
Du Bishu frowned and said, "Xiaofan, why are you so soulless, didn't you sleep well last night?"
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, no." โ
Du Bishu said: "Then why are your eyes bloodshot and red?"
Zhang Xiaofan was just about to speak, when He Dazhi, who came over from the side, interjected: "Sixth, don't be nosy, no matter how bad the little junior brother is, it doesn't matter, anyway, he has a bye today, but if you don't wash up and delay the competition, then you can't blame others." โ
Du Bishu suddenly woke up, where did he care if Zhang Xiaofan slept well or not, rushed over and completely ignored Lu Daxin, Zheng Dali and others who were washing their faces, snatched the basin, poured water on his face, and said to himself: "Hmph, the little junior brother is fate, you look at his look like he is going to die and sleep lazy, it's really, fifth senior brother, return the basin to me, I'm too late!"
"Phew, I haven't washed it myself!"
Zhang Xiaofan watched several senior brothers arguing over a basin on the other side of the room, feeling slightly bored in his heart, he stood up and walked out, and was walking to the door, when Song Daren suddenly called out from behind: "Little junior brother, have you washed it?"
Zhang Xiaofan turned his head and said, "It's washed, senior brother." โ
Song Daren nodded and said, "That's good, it's okay for you to go out for a walk first, but you'll have to go to the dining room for breakfast in a while, you know?"
Zhang Xiaofan responded and said, "Got it." As he spoke, the monkey Ash squeaked twice, ran over and ran over to his shoulder, and Rhubarb saw that Ash was gone, so he got up lazily, wagged his tail, and walked out. On the corridor, Zhang Xiaofan saw that the brothers of the Qingyunmen had just gotten up and were busy on the left and right, and he walked towards it unconsciously on the top of Yunhai Square.
At this time, it was still early, and there were only a few Qingyun disciples walking on the sea of clouds. The cool mountain breeze blew and blew across Zhang Xiaofan's face, with a hint of coldness.
Like last night!
Zhang Xiaofan felt a pain in his heart, he is a sixteen-year-old boy this year, he has just fallen in love, he has lived on Dazhu Peak for five years, and Tian Ling'er gets along day and night, and he has been deeply rooted in his love for this beautiful and lively senior sister since he was a child. Unexpectedly, last night I witnessed a private meeting between Tian Ling'er and Qi Hao, and for a while, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and my mind was in turmoil.
At this moment, his mind was full of chaos, flashing back and forth the scenes that made him heartache last night, and the whole person walked aimlessly as if he had no owner.
"Huh?" Suddenly, an exclamation suddenly sounded beside him, startling Zhang Xiaofan, waking up from his thoughts, looking around, but it was a young Qingyun disciple, with delicate facial features, a long robe, up and down in his twenties, holding a gold-painted fan in his hand, which seemed to be painted with some mountains and rivers, and was coming up at the moment, but a pair of bright big eyes did not look at Zhang Xiaofan, but stared directly at the monkey on Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder.
