Chapter 18 Its name is Sadness

(Shiki: It's cold, and my typing hands are stiff, so please understand.) The weather is cold, I hope everyone is warm and healthy!)

――――――――――――

It was nearly dusk and the snow was falling.

In the north, few people take advantage of the night on such days, unless there are 100,000 urgent matters.

Fenglin Town is located in the land of Kyoto, and almost all of the people who used to travel from south to north were vendors, and there were almost no people from the rivers and lakes who came out to walk around. The troubled times seem to reflect the value of the merchant himself.

Through the crowded crowd, there were two women with extraordinary temperament in front of her, walking with their feet like green lotus, falling and walking, provoking the people around them to look sideways, and their eyes were full of obsession. And the two women seemed to have been accustomed to other people's eyes, and they didn't pay attention to them with a smile.

One of the women was dressed in a snow robe with a blue sand on her head, making it difficult to see her true face. But I felt her dusty, elegant, gentle, and holy temperament...... No one would doubt that her stunning beauty would be intoxicating.

The other woman was a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years of age, dressed in colorful clothes, looking delicate and lovely, always with a mischievous smile on her face and a sparkle in her eyes, as if anything could arouse her interest.

"Sister Chenxiang, this Kyoto is really good, even a small town is very prosperous...... Uh, it's just a bit of a mess. ”

Xiao Rou can know that this Kyoto is the origin of the world's wars. ”

"Oh, is it because the Imperial City is in Kyoto?"

"Yes, the Imperial City is the center of power under heaven, and all those who have ambition want to possess it...... Sometimes, a little lust can ruin many good things. No matter what the struggle, the one who suffers, in the end it is those ordinary people!"

"That's why my sister went out of her way to make this trip!"

"Not only that, this trip is very dangerous, even the people of the Demon Gate are involved, as disciples of the 'Heavenly Gate', we can't help but come to ......"

"Giggles, I know that Sister Chenxiang has the world in her heart, no wonder your aunt always praises you. ”

Unfortunately, in the troubled times, the power of the individual is too small, even if I have the ability to reach the sky, I can't restore the general trend, I just do my best. ”

"I don't know what's so good about fighting and killing, if I didn't think it was fun outside, I wouldn't have come out. Hmph!"

"Alas~~ The worldly struggle is very cruel, but the battle in the cultivation world is even more ruthless, and the root of survival is definitely endless fighting. ”

"That's not it. My aunt said that for the sake of secular control, even the masters of the world and the hidden sects have to take action......"

"For the sake of the future, we have a heavier responsibility on our shoulders! In a few months, it will be the 'Hidden Forest Conference', and we have to prepare early. ”

"I'm very relieved! With the palace master's sister here, we will definitely be able to stand out in front of other sects this time!hehe~~"

"Heh~ you little girl...... Forget it, let's settle the matter at hand first. ”

"Does my sister think we'll succeed this time?"

"Hopefully!"

......

Chenxiang and Xiaorou are both disciples of the "Heavenly Gate" in the three forbidden places of the rivers and lakes, and this time they are ordered by their elders to go down the mountain to the world, and the purpose is to seal the "ghost mound".

Not everyone knows the seal in the "Ghost Mound", but the classics of "Tianmen" record the precept of "Seal the demon and destroy the Shenzhou". It was the dust incense that day to stop it, and the battle with Dongyu turned over...... It's a pity that it's still a step too late, and it's a fact that the seal was broken, so I had no choice but to stop and save people......

Where is there any place to live in troubled times?

"Soul Eater" is in the world, and the disputes between the rivers and lakes have reappeared, which is more intense than in the past. Before the general trend, even if Chenxiang's martial arts are strong, it is also powerless to reverse the chaotic situation. Knowing that her ability was limited, she wanted to go back to the "Gate of Heaven", but on the way, she suddenly heard that the northern frontier was in an emergency......

Bian Ding is the last line of defense of the Ming Dynasty, and if it is broken by foreign races, it will inevitably cause misery. Later, news came from the "Heavenly Gate" that the alien invasion was related to the "Demon Gate," and if there was really any conspiracy among them, the consequences would be unimaginable! As a disciple of the "Heavenly Gate," Chen Xiangsheng had a heart of help, so he naturally could not bear to see such a result happen. So he hurried to the border, hoping to find out, and preferably persuade both sides to stop fighting...... Of course, this hope is very slim!

......

"Hey, it's him. ”

As she walked, Xiao Rou suddenly stopped, looked straight at the crowd in front of her with her eyes, glanced at Chenxiang worriedly, and then pulled her around as if nothing had happened.

Chenxiang felt strange and couldn't help but look ahead to look ahead...... Ten zhang apart, there were three men and two women walking in front of them, to be precise, it should be three men and one woman and a little girl. The group of them was dressed differently, especially conspicuous in the crowd, and they must not be ordinary people.

Unconsciously, Chenxiang's gaze stayed on a man on the left side of the front. The man was dressed in a black hunting robe, and carried an object on his back, wrapped in a white cloth, which was supposed to be something of great value. There was a chill on his resolute face, his hair was tied at will on his shoulders, wild, cold, and handsome, and there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes......

He ...... What a familiar feeling, who is that person?" Chenxiang's heart suddenly shook, and an indescribable throbbing surged into his heart, as if he had been waiting for thousands of years, making people lose their souls!

"Sister, let's go, Xiaorou is so hungry. As she spoke, the little girl dragged the stunned dust incense in the other direction.

......

On the street, Ling Tong was talking like a river to introduce the situation in Kyoto to Yue Fan, Fu Shuai and others. was on the rise, who knew that Yue Fan suddenly stopped, looking ahead with a distracted look, and his pale expression seemed to be a ghost!

"Yue Fan, what's wrong with you, scare me!" Fu Shuai walked behind Yue Fan with Zhu Feng in his arms, but Yue Fan stopped inexplicably, making him stumble!

Yue Fan didn't seem to hear anyone else's question, and looked ahead. With the hunter's intuition, he was sure that someone was watching him just now.

But when Yue Fan looked up, he didn't find any unusual people in front of him, just saw a familiar back from a distance.

Impossible!

Yue Fan desperately denied it in his heart, he knew better than anyone else that the back he was familiar with could not appear in this world.

In a daze, the familiar back had disappeared, and Yue Fan wanted to step forward to look for it, but he just stopped. There was an invisible fear that surrounded him, and his spirit was heavy.

"Yue Fan, aren't you, are you?" Yue Fan ......" Ling Tong and the three of them were extremely surprised, the first time they saw Yue Fan with such a look just now, it was like a soulless corpse, which made people feel cold!

Hearing the soft call of his friends around him, Yue Fan finally woke up, and said with a touch of heartache in his eyes: "I'm fine, let's go!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Fan stepped away.

Everyone looked at his bleak back, and a sense of loneliness, loneliness, and sadness spread in his body. Yan Yueshi suddenly remembered Ya'er, her nose was sore, and her eyes were even more rosy.

Zhu Feng felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and said curiously: "Brother Li seems to be unhappy!"

"Uh!" everyone choked. Even an innocent child like Zhu Feng could feel Yue Fan's strange mood, let alone the three of them. However, everyone is a friend, and friends should be respected. Since Yue Fan didn't say it, they naturally wouldn't ask more.

"Brother Yue Fan still can't let go of his sister!" Yan Yueshi sighed faintly, feeling bad in her heart.

Alas~~ Maybe only time is the best antidote!

Everyone couldn't help but sigh!

......

――――――――――――

The Fenglin Restaurant is endless, and the upstairs and downstairs are full of guests.

Upstairs, Xiao Rou pulled Chenxiang and ordered a few side dishes casually, and ate them with relish.

"Sister, I didn't expect the food in this small place to be good!hee-hee~~"

"You little girl, you know it's delicious with one mouth, no wonder your aunt usually doesn't let you come out. ”

"How can there be ......" Xiao Rou was about to quibble, but she suddenly covered her mouth, looked at the door downstairs with a stunned face, and muttered endlessly in her heart.

Chenxiang felt strange, and looked at the situation, and the people who came in downstairs were the people he had just seen on the street.

"Xiaorou, do you know them?"

"No, I don't know, I just think they look fierce, they must not be good people. ”

"Oh?

"Of course, I can tell at a glance that they are bad people, but don't forget that my best skill is Qimen math. ”

Chenxiang wanted to ask again, but the girl pulled her away, as if she really saw a vicious person, and ran fast!

......

Downstairs, Ling Tong skillfully arranged dinner, believing that no one could do this better than him.

Yue Fan found a corner to sit down at random, and inadvertently glanced back, his expression changed drastically!

Hesitation, fear, nervousness, hope, hesitation, too many emotions are intertwined in Yue Fan's heart...... I want to get it but I am reluctant to let go, I want to give up but I am unwilling!

Ya'er couldn't say it again, but just now, he clearly saw her back. Why is it so similar? Why is it so similar?

After struggling for a while, Yue Fan finally overcame the fear in his heart and rushed out of the building, without even saying hello, he rushed out like this!

Ling Tong and the others looked at each other, completely unclear what was going on.

"You take care of Feng'er, I'll take a look. Without further ado, Fu Shuai hurriedly got up, took his sword and chased after Yue Fan.

......

Outside the restaurant, Yue Fan was at a loss, he regretted it, hated it, why didn't he find it out, why did he hate himself, why was he afraid, what was he running away from?

Yue Fan had no answer, only loss, that kind of empty and lonely loss.

"I thought I saw Ya'er ...... just now."

Hearing Yue Fan's explanation, Fu Shuai finally understood why he lost his soul like this.

Walking forward, Fu Shuai didn't say anything, and patted Yue Fan's shoulder comfortingly. Actually, he understands!

......

Late at night, Chenxiang walked quietly on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to look at it, and the appearance of a person kept coming to her mind, no matter what. It's like knowing each other in my previous life, so familiar and so cordial.

Unable to sleep, he got up and walked to the window. The wind was chilling outside the window, but she didn't care. Looking at the heavy snow outside the window, Chenxiang was distracted, and couldn't say why she was sad.

"Beg-"

Suddenly, I heard a flute in the distance. Although it is very light, it is very pleasant to the ear in this quiet snowy night.

Who is beating this flute, melodious, lonely, melancholy, lonely...... Its name is Sad!

Chenxiang feels so familiar, really familiar, has she heard it before?

Glancing back at the sleeping Xiaorou, Chenxiang resolutely jumped out of the windowsill...... A few ups and downs disappeared into the night.

......
