Chapter 64: A Glimpse Between the Scenes
The melodious north wind blew the white clouds, pulling long filaments in the pale blue sky.
"That laughter reminds me of my flowers, which bloom quietly for me in every corner of my life......"
A young man dressed in white sat on the white stone of the craggy mountain cliff, almost merging with the light and bleak scene, and the seemingly absent song dissipated in the wind, drifting away.
"Brother Ming, you're singing this song again!" A small figure struggled to climb the rocks, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his head, and showed a smile full of vitality.
Qi Yuanming turned his head to look at this face that was somewhat similar to her, and said with a smile: "Ah Yu, you climbed up again, didn't you say that Bai Yuanfeng is dangerous without steps?"
"Ah Ming, you are dead!" The figure of the Axis Ring Daoist Imperial Sword was still in the distance, but the sound of laughter had already come, "That guy from Fang Rail saw him running here two times in three days, and he already regarded climbing Baiyuan Peak as his daily morning class!"
Qi Yuanming stood up and saluted his master, and asked Su Rongyu again: "Do you have a new living habit?"
"Master is good to me! I now go to the Zhongxue Academy every day to learn the basics of casting, which is very interesting!" Su Rongyu thought of the casting, his little face was shining, and he remembered something in an instant, and asked Qi Yuanming, "Brother Ming, how are you?"
The Axis Ring Daoist interjected and laughed at him: "The little hairy boy has learned to pretend that adults care about people?"
Su Rongyu's face was slightly red, but she still straightened her waist and said: "Fifth Sister said that she was entrusted by King Xu to take care of Brother Ming, and now that she is not here, of course I should take on this task!"
The Axis Ring Road man looked up and laughed.
Qi Yuanming suddenly said faintly: "If it weren't for the master suddenly abandoning her, it wouldn't be that we wouldn't even be able to say a few goodbyes." ”
The person of the Axis Ring Dao was stunned for a moment, and when he looked down, he saw the two children staring at him with a resentful face, he was angry and embarrassed for a while, but he sighed and said: "That child is keen, and he loves more seriously, if he puts it in his studies, it is naturally good, but her heart is too big, and Xia Zhou, who is surging in this dark tide, is afraid that she will break her wings repeatedly." Xia Zhou's darkness is not something that a boudoir daughter can bear, I hope she is stupid, and the fairy road may be smoother. ”
"The fifth sister has been on the battlefield, so she is not so weak!" Su Rongyu was heartbroken, and immediately spoke out against it.
Qi Yuanming looked at the silky Yun'er, thinking about the girl who was always laughing. Compared with the rumored Major General Zhenguo who is invincible on the battlefield, he feels that she is more like a pure man who pursues her dreams without hesitation, seemingly innocent, but in fact cautious, seemingly negative, but actually brave. How can such a person lose?
"The battle that Velvet has to fight will not lose. He said with confidence.
The Axis Ring Daoist touched Su Rongyu's head and said with a smile: "I am also willing to believe that she is not weak and will not lose." If she can really break through the barriers and grow and transform, maybe one day she will be able to stand at a height beyond our reach and see things that we old guys dare not see. ”
"When that day comes, I will definitely stand by her side and look at the same sky as her. Qi Yuanming looked at the pale blue sky and smiled.
Su Rongyu was stunned, and shouted not to be outdone: "I want it too, I want it too!" I also want to look at the sky with the fifth sister!"
The Axis Ring Daoist looked at the two juniors with bright eyes, his heart was surging, and he also said loudly: "If you want to keep up with her, you can grit your teeth and cultivate hard for me, and come up with decent results to meet her as soon as possible!"
"Follow the teachings!" Qi Yuanming and Su Rongyu looked at each other and smiled, believing from the bottom of their hearts that the girl would never lose.
At this time, Yishan was overcast.
The huge aura shroud was very conspicuous against the gray sky, and even if you looked up from Yimen Town, you could see the endless light of the trees.
In the alley, a narrow and dilapidated wooden door was opened, and a white-haired old man came out with a cloth bag on his back and locked the door with his backhand.
"Old man Gu, are you going back to your hometown so early this year?" The innkeeper stood at the door and was about to make a plate, and when he saw him passing by, he greeted him.
Old man Gu raised his eyes to look at the shopkeeper, turned around and forgot to glance at the mountainside woods, sighed and stopped: "Lao Wang, I have known you for a long time, and if you have something to say, you can say it directly, this Yishan may have another insect plague." ”
The shopkeeper was excited, and the abacus fell to the ground, but he had no intention of picking it up. "Old man Gu, you're not kidding, are you......? The plague?"
Old man Gu pointed to the spiritual light cover on the mountainside and said, "See, Yicheng has opened a large city protection array." A few days ago, you asked Xiao Er to bring that man and a woman, remember? They said that they killed a puppet worm, and I was still skeptical, but now—" He shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case." ”
The shopkeeper's face changed drastically, he stumbled out of the door and looked up, and sure enough, he saw a spiritual light in the direction of Yicheng, his legs were weak, and he almost sat down on the side of the road.
"If it is really an insect plague, this protective array will not be lifted in half a year, and there will be no family visits. Old man Gu sighed and walked away slowly, "You were still young last time when the insect plague occurred, but I remember that the puppet insect swarm couldn't go to Yicheng, so they all came to Yimen Town...... How many people died that year, those who were bitten to death, those who were beaten to death, those who were poisoned by insects......"
The shopkeeper was still in shock, and when he heard the voice of the old man Wang gradually disappearing, he reacted, jumped up and rushed into the inn and shouted: "Wang Er, Wang Er, pack your luggage and leave, leave now!"
Just as Old Man Gu was worried, Yicheng had already made a long-term plan to start a battle to prevent insects, isolating communication inside and outside the city.
In a main room in Chu Mansion, five people frowned tightly and sat together.
A person hurriedly walked in outside, it was Master Chu, he wiped a handful of sweat from his head, and said, "Miss Su, they were sent back to the guest room, and neither of them said anything." The dead people outside have checked, most of them are part-time workers, and the news is basically under control. Also, I contacted Yilangmen, and they promised to send someone to help tomorrow. ”
He said it without a beginning or an end, but everyone in the room understood.
However, no one was in the mood to speak.
After a long time, Old Lady Zhu sighed and said, "I didn't expect that when I was alive, I would encounter a puppet insect plague. ”
Old Lady Chu's face was blank, but her eyes were a little desolate: "It's only been sixty-seven years. She looked up at the person in a dark robe next to her and said, "Zheng San, we don't understand the management matters, and you will work hard to arrange it in the next few months." ”
Zheng San nodded in response.
At this time, the giant man with a swarthy and bald head slapped the table in annoyance, and the case creaked and broke off, but it was overshadowed by his loud voice: "These damn bastard bugs! Are we old men trapped to death by a group of bugs? Why don't you just go out and rush up the mountain to fight with them!"
The white-haired and long-bearded Han Lao glanced at him and said coldly: "Do you think we are afraid of these little insects, have you forgotten why you crushed those people to death today?
At the mention of the insect king, the hearts of the whole room were cold for a moment.
Last time they took a look at the insect plague through the city protection array, ordinary puppet insects were only second-order demon beasts, but that insect was actually in the late third-order stage, and now that decades have passed, I don't know what kind of demon it has grown.
Old Lady Chu thought for a while and said hesitantly: "In the past, we had no experience, and we broke a lot of Taoist friends in vain, especially those below the middle stage of foundation building. If only the five of us go this time and do our best to protect the holes, maybe ...... Can you fight?" When she said this, she lost confidence herself.
"Mrs. Chu, don't talk nonsense, what is the difference between a puppet worm entering the mountain and a fish entering the sea? You forgot that the reason why you organized dozens of people to go last time was to fight against the parasitic demon beasts. And that insect is very cunning, if you can't beat it, you can change your body, and there is no end to the fight like this!"
Master Chu, who had been standing in the corner of the wall pretending to be an invisible person, heard a spirit here: "Hey, isn't there Miss Su's 100 insect spirits this time?"
One sentence lit up the eyes of several people in the room.
But Old Lady Chu quickly came back to her senses and sighed: "It's a pity that the girl has too little medicine in her hand, and she insists on refusing to say who the medicine refiner is, and she can't invite any great god." ”
"Hehe......" Old Lady Zhu suddenly laughed, "That was before, now, it's hard to say." ”
The way the girl grabbed her companion and cried, he could see it clearly.
The Giant Palm Daoist reacted immediately, and smiled in surprise: "Okay, Lao Zhu, it turns out that you fought this idea! I said that you were doing something to catch them at that time!"
Several other people also figured it out, and said one after another, "You old fox is not kind", but they all had smiles on their faces.
