Chapter 2 On the Road Alone

"Boom-"

The projectile exploded, spewing out colorful mist that filled the entire ruined temple.

"Seven Heart Begonias!" Zhu San exclaimed, and hurriedly sealed Zhu Feng and his own acupoints.

Hearing Zhu San's exclamation, Long Jun and Ding Yi didn't know what to do, so they could only fan the colorful fog.

Zhu San hurriedly said: "You guys quickly seal your acupoints! If the poisonous gas enters your body, you will die!"

Looking at the colorful mist around him, Long Jun also sweated, and shouted: "It's not that we don't seal the acupoints, but we don't know the acupuncture points!"

Zhu San and the two were stunned, there were still people who learned martial arts and didn't know acupoints.

They didn't know that Long Jun and the others had only been learning martial arts for less than a month, and Yue Fan had only taught the two of them systematic cultivation, and had not taught them to know acupuncture points.

Zhu San was about to step forward to help Long Jun and the others close the acupoint, when the figure flashed, and Yue Fan appeared in front of them. Quickly point at the acupoints of Long Jun and Ding Yi to prevent the colorful mist from invading the body.

......

After the colorful mist dissipated, Zhu San took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and poured out four white pills for Zhu Feng, Long Jun, and Ding Yi to swallow.

"Bailu Pill!" Yue Fan whispered in a low voice, his expression a little moved.

Seeing Yue Fan's expression, Zhu San said a little proudly: "'Bailu Pill' can not only treat internal injuries, but also clear strange poisons, which can be called a miracle medicine in the world, but few people know about it on the rivers and lakes, I didn't expect you to know it!"

Yue Fan glanced at Zhu San lightly and ignored it.

The pure white fragrance of "Bailu Pill" can not only heal wounds, but also clear all kinds of poisons, and has the effect of taking care of the body and cultivating yuan, which is not precious. This medicine is an elixir that Mr. Wan spent several years developing when he was in the court, and Yue Fan certainly knew about it. However, out of disgust with the imperial court, he didn't want to pay attention to the people related to it.

"You have an antidote, why didn't you take it out just now when you were poisoned, and make Lao Tzubai worry!?" Long Jun scolded Zhu San for a while, but he still took the elixir in one mouth.

Sure enough, the elixir melted in the mouth, refreshing people's hearts, and the breath in the body calmed down.

Zhu San was about to speak, but Yue Fan replied: "There is no medicine to cure the 'Scattered Gong Soft Muscle Incense', and the effect of the medicine will automatically disappear after half an hour." ”

Long Jun suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment.

Ding Yi stepped forward and said, "Ah Jun, did you already know that Master was fine?"

Long Jun raised his head and said with a smile: "I think you are in a hurry, we have been standing for so long and have been fine, how could the master and his old man faint, it is obvious that he wants to know the person behind the scenes, so he deliberately fell." Am I right!?" The last sentence was directed at Yue Fan.

Yue Fan knocked on Long Jun's head and said, "You only need to ask the origin of the enemy, and you still want to calculate others, it's just beyond your strength." ”

Long Jun was discouraged when he was said this, and Yue Fan said again: "Although you lack strength, your calculations are good, and you are witty, courageous, and very cooperative, it seems that I don't have to worry too much in the future." ”

Hearing Yue Fan's praise for the first time, Long Jun's face couldn't help but blush, and Ding Yi even smirked.

Zhu San didn't understand what was going on until now, it turned out that everything was under the control of others. But the more she thought about it, the more depressed she felt, and she was so bad that she had walked the rivers and lakes many times, thinking that she was resourceful. Today's knowledge, it turned out to be a frog at the bottom of the well, underestimating the people of the world.

Seeing that Long Jun and Ding Yi had recovered, Yue Fan got up and said, "You two come with me." With that, he walked out of the ruined temple.

Long Jun glanced at Zhu San and the others hesitantly, and then followed Ding Yi out.

As soon as he went out, Yue Fan said: "You don't have to worry, they have a noble status, so naturally someone will protect them...... Follow me......"

......

When Yue Fan and the others left the broken temple, Zhu San made a strange gesture with both hands...... Four black shadows flashed and landed in front of Zhu San.

The four men dressed in black knelt down and said: "Miss forgive me, we are not well protected, so that the enemy can take advantage of it, but in fact, the crime deserves death......"

Zhu San's face was cold, and he was like two people in normal times. Said coldly: "You didn't even notice that the enemy was lurking around, it seems that the four envoys of the dark dragon should be replaced!"

The four of them broke out in a cold sweat, and they all bowed their heads and remained silent.

Zhu Feng pulled Zhu San's shirt and said softly: "Sister, forget it, they don't know that the demon woman hid on it in advance, and they can't blame them all, and aren't we fine!

Zhu San nodded slightly, and said to the four envoys of the dark dragon: "Since Feng'er intercedes for you, I will let you go for the time being, if there is a next time, you can go back and ask for the guilt yourself!"

"Miss Xie is tolerant!" the four of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Sandao: "You send someone to find out the details of Li Yuefan's master and apprentice, and report to me as soon as possible...... Go ahead. ”

"Yes!" After the four of them bowed, one dodged onto the roof of the broken temple and disappeared into the darkness......

Seeing that the four of them had left, Zhu Fengcai said, "Sister, you looked so scary just now!"

Zhu San gently touched Zhu Feng's head and said with emotion: "I scared them just now, this is called power technique." In your position, sometimes you have to make a choice!"

Zhu Feng nodded if he understood or not.

―――――――――――― outside the ruined temple, in the woods.

Long Jun looked around at Kongjing and said, "Master, did you deliberately let go of that demon woman just now?"

Yue Fan nodded slightly and said, "That woman knows a lot of things, and she can't die yet." ”

"But she's already gone, so what?"

"This person is cunning and vicious, I cut off her arm, and with her heart, she will definitely come back to me for reward. ”

"Hehe!" Long Jun smiled evilly: "Great, wait for that demon woman to find it, and then break her other hand, and see how she will harm people in the future!"

"That's right! Ding Yi also agreed.

......

"Do you remember what I said to you when I first met you?" Yue Fan changed the topic and suddenly asked.

"Men should be self-reliant!" the two said in unison.

"Very well! I'm sure you'll be able to do it. Yue Fan nodded, and then said: "The road ahead is vast, there are many auspicious and auspicious, you walk with me, there are many dangers, and you may die at any time." So, I decided to go on my own......"

"What!?"

Hearing that Yue Fan was going to go on the road alone, Long Jun and Ding Yi were stunned on the spot, and then their faces turned pale, and their hearts seemed to be empty and hesitant.

Ding Yi hurriedly said, "Master doesn't want us anymore, did we do something wrong?"

Yue Fan hugged Ding Yi and said: "A man stands between heaven and earth, he should be unyielding, without suffering or fear." I still remember what I promised. ”

Ding Yi was stunned for a moment, remembering that he had promised Yue Fan not to kneel down in the future, and his heart was warm, but it was mostly bitter.

Yue Fan said lightly: "I have my own things to complete, and you also have your own way to go." If we still have fate, we will meet in the future. ”

"......"

Ding Yi wanted to say something, but Yue Fan interrupted: "Everyone has a different path to take, since you have taken the first step, then you must persevere." I have already taught you everything I need to teach you, and I ...... in the future."

"That's enoughβ€”"

Long Jun, who was standing quietly on the side, suddenly yelled and said hysterically: "You don't want us anymore...... Don't want us anymore...... Just like those people before us, they dislike us, and they are afraid that we will cause you to do trouble, so you don't want us anymore, don't you?

Long Jun and Ding Yi have suffered since childhood, although they have walked strongly, but their extreme personalities make them cynical. Such a person loves deeply, and hates more.

Yue Fan's appearance is undoubtedly a turning point in the lives of the two of them, allowing them to see the light of hope again. In their hearts, they had long regarded Yue Fan as their only relative. Now that their only loved one is "abandoning" themselves, how can they accept this cruel truth. The suppressed emotions in their hearts burst out like a volcano in an instant, drowning the reason of the two.

Yue Fan has not been reluctant to get along for so long, but he knows that he has more important things to do, and the road ahead is very dangerous, he must isolate this feeling, otherwise, he will ......

Yue Fan said coldly: "My husband made a promise, when I taught you martial arts, you promised to listen to me for everything, do you want to regret it!?"

Long Jun was stunned and looked at Yue Fan with a complicated expression...... But apart from Yue Fan's determined eyes and indifferent expression, he didn't find anything else.

"Okay, you don't want us, then let's go, let's go...... Let's go!" Long Jun yelled, turned and ran back.

Ding Yi also looked pained, but he still bowed to Yue Fan, and chased after Long Jun, tears falling from his eyes.

"Strong and very human, perseverance is a man's ......"

Yue Fan's voice came from afar, thick and warm, and then dissipated into the woods.

......

―――――――――――― the temple, Zhu San and Zhu Feng were pranayama.

Suddenly, there was a bang of "Peng", and the temple door was kicked to the ground. Then Long Jun and Ding Yi walked in angrily, and there seemed to be undried tears on their faces.

Zhu San and Zhu Feng looked at Long Jun and Ding Yi in amazement, and couldn't understand why the two of them, who were fine just now, looked like this after a while, could something have happened?

The attentive Zhu San immediately sensed that something was wrong, Long Jun and the others had already returned, why were their masters not together. So he casually asked, "What about your master?"

Zhu Feng also said curiously: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry? Huh!? Your eyes are still red, did you just cry?"

"Shut up! Long Jun was angry, and naturally he would not be polite to Zhu Feng and the others.

Not only Long Jun, but even Ding Yi sat on the side in a sullen voice, ignoring them.

Zhu Feng felt aggrieved, and then turned angry. I turned over my good intentions, but I was treated like this. Whoever it is, I'm afraid it won't be good-tempered.

Zhu San said coldly: "You stinky boy, dare to talk to us like this? Do you really think who you are! If you have the ability, you can go to others to be angry, and what kind of man is it to croak at us." The dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people. ”

"Damn-you......" Long Jun shouted angrily, and was about to refute, but his throat suddenly jammed, and he couldn't say anything.

Seeing this, Zhu San sneered and said sarcastically: "What's the matter, I said it, you are not a man, and now you can't speak?"

Long Jun said angrily: "You're right, what kind of fucking man am I, the master is gone, and I can't do anything." It's a shame that I'm usually pretentious and witty, but I'm stupider than a pig at a critical time, what a fucking bullshit!

Looking at Long Jun's expression of annoyance and self-blame, Zhu San and Zhu Feng didn't know what to say.

For a while, the ruined temple became quiet.

......

After a period of pranayama, the "soft tendon fragrance" in Zhu San and Zhu Feng's bodies has dissipated. When they got up and looked at the sky outside, it was still pitch black, but there was no trace of sleepiness in their hearts.

Zhu Feng moved next to Ding Yi and said curiously, "Hey, your master is really gone?"

Ding Yi nodded distractedly.

Zhu San snorted coldly and said, "If you leave, you're not dead, you don't need to be like this!

Zhu Feng also said: "Yes! You don't have to be sad. ”

Ding Yi shook his head and said, "Master, he's gone, don't want us anymore!"

Zhu San was also very curious about the three of them, and asked, "What's the truth?"

Ding Yi looked at Long Jun, hesitated for a moment, and said, "My master has a blood vendetta, and he also has to look for his relatives. As the enchantress said, the road ahead is full of dangers. Master was worried about our safety, so he drove us away...... Can...... But he is our only relative, how can we leave him. Master doesn't know, even if we die, we don't want to leave!"

Seeing Ding Yi biting his lip and holding back the tears overflowing, Zhu San and Zhu Feng seemed to be able to feel the great grief in his heart.

Ding Yi took a deep breath and said, "I remember that Master once told us that crying does not mean weakness, but I still feel that I am still not strong enough, at least I dare not cry, I am afraid that I will be the same as before......

Ah Jun, you said that if we are strong enough, maybe we can help Master, and Master will not drive us away. ”

Long Jun clenched his fist and slammed it on the ground, and said astringently: "That's right, I'm too self-righteous, I learned a little bit of kung fu from my master, and I always want to show off, I don't deserve ......."

When Zhu Feng saw the appearance of Ding Yi and the others, the anger just now was also put behind him, and his compassion rose, and he stepped forward to comfort: "Don't be sad, when you have achieved cultivation, you can still go to your master......"

"Find, find...... yes, I didn't think of such a simple solution!"

Long Jun suddenly clapped his hands and said with a look of surprise: "Little nail, Master won't let us follow him all the way, but we can go on the road to find him by ourselves!"

......

Hearing what Long Jun thought of, Ding Yi was stunned and said, "Is this really possible?"

"Of course you can!" With the idea, Long Jun's heart relaxed, and he smiled: "Anyway, the master didn't say that he wouldn't let us follow him, as long as we go a different way." ”

"Yes...... But ......"

Long Jun interrupted Ding Yi indifferently and said, "But what, don't worry, we just follow quietly, and don't let the master know." ”

Ding Yi said softly: "I want to say, but the money on us is almost used, how can we rush in the future!"

"Uh......" Long Jun was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help touching his arms, and found that there were only a few taels of silver, and he immediately lowered his head slackly.

With a roll of his eyes, Long Jun looked at Zhu Saner and the others on the side, and the golden light flashed in his eyes.

Seeing his expression, Zhu Feng hurriedly shrank back, retreated to Zhu San's side, and said, "You...... What do you want to do?"

Long Jun said with a smile on his face: "Hehe...... Seeing that the two of you are noble, you must be rich and noble. How about lending us some money? In the future, when our two brothers get rich, we will repay you twice. ”

Zhu Sanji had a chill, and just now they were scolding people, but now they are borrowing money with a smiling face, and it is the first time they have seen such a cheeky person. Even Ding Yi turned his head with a blushing face, wishing that he had never known this person.

Long Jun laughed dryly twice and said, "I guarantee that I will borrow and repay with my reputation." ”

Zhu San said disdainfully: "Look at your poor and sour appearance, what ability do you have to repay the money, you won't be a robber!"

"You ......"

Long Jun was just about to make a biao, but Zhu San continued: "It's not ......"

"But what?" Long Jun and Ding Yi said in unison.

Zhu San said slowly: "But I can give you an errand." ”

"What errand?" Ding Yi hurriedly asked.

Zhu Sanyin smiled: "I know that you are also going to Hangzhou, so you happen to be on the same road with us, why don't you be our bodyguards?"

"What!bodyguard?" Ding Yi was startled and couldn't help but look at Long Jun.

Just now, he looked like an enemy, but he didn't think that now Zhu San wants them to be bodyguards again, it seems that it is really a woman's heart.

After a moment of silence, Long Jun said with a straight face: "I refuse! Although we need money, we don't sell our freedom." ”

Jun was right. Although Ding Yi is not as clever as Long Jun, he is not a person without wisdom, and he has his own decisions in his heart in the face of major rights and wrongs.

Hearing such an answer, Zhu San was stunned, she really wanted to tie up the two with money so that she could trick them. But being rejected suddenly was a blow to Zhu San, because she first had doubts about what she had decided.

After a while, Zhu San said: "It's just to be a bodyguard, and it's not for you to sell yourself, why don't you do it?"

Long Jun pursed his lips and said, "Don't think I don't know, you're just trying to trick us and get angry." With your martial arts, and those who secretly protect you, how can you need our protection. ”

"You ......" Zhu San was dumbfounded, but he didn't expect Long Jun to know a lot about himself. Finally, he sighed and said, "Anyway, you have to go to Hangzhou, why don't you go together? ”

Long Jun and Ding Yi saw that Zhu San was actually like this, they looked at each other, their eyes were full of doubts, could it be that she had any plans that could not be achieved?

The two made eye contact for a while, and finally Long Jun said: "Okay, let's go on the same road, if we encounter any danger on the road, we won't sit idly by." Of course, you will pay for all the way, who calls you rich? ”

Seeing Long Jun's rogue look, Zhu San wanted to rush up and punch him, but in the end he endured it.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! ”

......

To the east of ―――――――――――― Henan, there is a small valley with no name. The valley is quiet and quiet, with the fragrance of flowers everywhere and the birds singing softly, creating a harmonious and calm atmosphere.

In the early morning, the Nameless Valley ushered in the first ray of sunshine of the day, bringing bright spring and high vitality to the valley.

On the bank of the stream, there is a simple square bamboo house. The courtyard is surrounded by vines, and the green vines go up, but naturally it is not chaotic. There is a fast wooden board hanging high on the bamboo beam, and the word "Zhuxuan" is written on it.

At this time, a young girl slowly walked out of the bamboo house and walked straight to the small camellia trees in front of the house.

The girl's body is petite, only about five feet, the green silk shoulder is elegant and natural, although it is not beautiful, but her face is delicate and lovely, her eyes are full, and there is aura in the elegance.

This girl is Ya'er from Liushui Village, Ningxian County, and she is now seventeen years old. After the ups and downs outside, she always wants to keep the peace in her heart, so this nameless valley is where she often comes, but she is not the owner here.

Gently decorating the branches and leaves next to the camellia, Ya'er couldn't help but think for a while, and her clear eyes concealed a faint melancholy.

The days of worry-free have passed, and the relatives of childhood are gone, leaving only oneself, as if I can't feel my own existence, except for the emptiness is memory.

Recalling that night four years ago, when the only relative by her side left her, Ya'er felt a pang of grief in her heart. Unconsciously, tears slowly overflowed, and a tear splashed lightly on the petals, as if shattering the memory.

If a person is there, his heart is not far away, but now it is empty.

Lovesickness is impermanent, and I don't feel flowers and tears, and I can't finish my thoughts with a little melancholy.

......

Back then, because Li Tan was involved in a conspiracy, Liushui Village was slaughtered, and he never returned, and there was no news. And Yue Fan was used as a "death battalion" in the border desert, and there was no news. In desperation, Mr. Wan could only take Ya'er to hide everywhere. But it didn't take long for the exterminators to find them, and Mr. Wan sacrificed himself in order to protect Ya'er.

At that time, Ya'er was in grief and despair, and she didn't know where to go. The dead are gone, but the living will continue to live. So she followed her grandfather's thoughts before his death and went to Qingyun City.

Qingyun City is also regarded as a force on the rivers and lakes, covering an area of Yunnan, and its power is rooted and solid, and even the imperial court is jealous of them.

Although Ya'er was taken in by relying on Mr. Wan's relationship, the life under the fence was sad.

There, because Ya'er was born dumb, she was not taken seriously, and she was ridiculed by others from time to time, so she could only do some superficial miscellaneous things. Despite this, she never complained. In addition to working every day, he secretly practiced martial arts whenever he had time, hoping to step into the rivers and lakes one day to find news of Li Tan's father and son.

I have to say that Ya'er does have the talent to learn martial arts, and by stealing the most basic martial arts of Qingyunmen, after her own comprehension and cultivation, she has made rapid progress, and now she has achieved a small success. Especially in terms of the attainments of light exercises, even many first-class masters are not comparable. However, the ups and downs of cultivation are not understood by outsiders.

Maybe it's the mercy of God, maybe it's because she has nothing to lose. Although Ya'er can't speak, her innate mental power is very strong. Coupled with the cultivation of the "Heart Sutra", she was surprised to find that as long as she concentrated, she could faintly know what the other party was thinking. Of course, blessings and misfortunes are not necessarily happy when you know what others think, and this is the case with Ya'er.

......

―――――――――――― more than half a month ago, Ya'er went out with the eldest lady of Qingyun City. Who knew that she unexpectedly learned the news of Li Yuefan at the Ping'an Inn, although she was not sure, but she was willing to believe that it was true, because this was her hope.

Just as Ya'er wanted to set off to catch up, she suddenly received news from Qingyun City, telling everyone to return immediately, as if something big had happened.

Ya'er was in a dilemma, and finally chose to return with the people of Qingyun City, after all, it was the place where she had lived for four years.

But everything is impermanent, and when they were halfway through the journey, they received news from Qingyun City, asking everyone to go directly to Hangzhou to meet.

It's a long way to Hangzhou. This delay along the way, Ya'er remembered Yue Fan's news in her heart. So after thinking about it again, I decided to resign from the eldest lady and go on the road alone to find Li Yuefan.

In the eyes of the eldest lady of Qingyun City, Ya'er was just a miscellaneous maid, and she actually said that she would leave, and she was angry and expelled her from Qingyun and never entered the city.

In this regard, although Ya'er was a little reluctant, she was not sad. No one understands that Yue Fan's position in her heart is important to her.

......

After a lot of turning, Ya'er finally embarked on the road of searching.

She knows Yue Fan's character very well, if Yue Fan is still alive, then he will definitely go back to Ningxian County, but where is ...... There is nothing left but danger.

Unable to rest, Ya'er galloped all the way, and two horses were tired on the way, hoping to catch up with Yue Fan in time. But when she rushed to Ningxian County, she heard a shocking news: Li Yuefan angrily created the yamen, and then washed Cai Qian in blood, killed countless people, and became a wanted criminal in the imperial court.

Now that the only loved one is wanted and his life is in danger at any time, how can Ya'er put herself at ease. The only thing that makes her glad is that Li Yuefan is still alive and is finally back now.

......
