Chapter 53: Obstacles
The night was torn open by the dawn light, and the whole heaven and earth were like a sleeping beast, slowly waking up.
When Yuan Bao Yukong returned to Yuan's house in the Lin'an slum, it happened to be the first rays of sunlight shining in the courtyard in the morning, and the surrounding air seemed to be filled with a faint blood gas.
In front of the door, the corpses of those officials who were slashed by Zhao Wuregret last night were gone, and the rhubarb was lying at the door, and when he saw the ingots coming, he immediately ran over with his tail wagging his tail, and made a watery sound in his mouth.
Yuan Bao hesitated, he really didn't want to step into that door again.
Hearing the cry of rhubarb, there was a sound of Suosuo's footsteps in the courtyard, and Fang Ling'er, Zhao Wuregret and others walked out of the hall.
Yuan Bao saw his mother clearly, her pale face was full of wrinkles, and the life of the wind and sun made this middle-aged woman decline before she grew old. But the old father was standing at the end of the courtyard, looking at this side, with a hint of relief and a hint of relief in his eyes.
"Shaoqin!" Yuan Mu's tears were once again unbearable when she saw her son.
Yuan Bao's heart was shocked, in his childhood memory, his mother was a young woman, and he had grown old like this in just ten years, and his heart was sour.
But he would never forgive his parents, he took a deep look at his mother, and then turned his head and said, "Yuan Wenhua is fine, he will come back safely soon, Ling'er, no regrets, let's go." ”
Fang Ling'er and Zhao Wuregret walked to Yuanbao's side and smiled at Yuan's mother.
"Second brother. Yuan Shaoru shouted.
Yuan Bao stopped and said, "Shaoru, you can also go with me." ”
Yuan Shaoru hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
The blue waves are rippling, the catkins are flying, the lake is calm, and in the distance, there is a tall tower that appears in the morning mist.
There is a pavilion in front of the broken bridge, and there is a tomb in it, and thousands of years of wind and rain have not destroyed this tomb in the slightest.
On the other side of the broken bridge is a long white causeway, willow fishing, lush, this world-famous Lin'an West Lake, on this ordinary early morning, exudes an ancient sad mood.
Two hundred years ago, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen, the sons of a family of medicinal materials in Lin'an, met here, creating an ancient legend.
At this moment, on the broken bridge, there is a beautiful woman wearing a cyan gauze, the snow-white skin under the translucent satin is exciting, maybe the light is high, and the woman in green holds up an oil-paper umbrella.
For many years, there has been such a beautiful woman in Tsing Yi on the head of this broken bridge, sometimes standing from morning to night, and no one knows her name, let alone her origin.
She seems to be a wandering spirit, waiting for someone to guide her to find her way home.
At this time, a young and handsome young woman came from the white causeway, dressed in dark red clothes, barefoot, arms were also exposed, her hair was slightly coiled, and a snow-white jade flower was pinned to it.
Ice Heart Flowers!
"Two hundred years, you...... Why are you obsessed too much?!" Li Mengxue walked behind the woman in green clothes and sighed slightly. And her gaze couldn't help but look at the looming tower at the end of the white causeway.
The woman in Tsing Yi turned her head, and her face was clean and refined under the oil-paper umbrella, especially the pair of eyes, which were glowing with a faint emerald green luster.
The woman in Tsing Yi saw the jade flower on the head of the red-clothed girl behind her, her body trembled slightly, and said, "You, you are Li Mengxue, a disciple of the Spiritual Fairy?"
Li Mengxue smiled slightly, her hair bun fluttered slightly in the morning breeze, even more charming, she said: "Little green girl has good eyesight. ”
The woman in Tsing Yi retracted her gaze, her expression gradually turned cold, and said, "I have nothing to do with your Demon Sect, what are you looking for me?"
Li Mengxue smiled and said: "I can't come to see you if it's okay?" I have heard the master talk about you, when you and your sister Bai Suzhen flooded Jinshan Temple, angering Fahai Zen Master, as a result, your sister was suppressed by Fahai Zen Master under the Leifeng Pagoda, back then it was a senior of my Hehuan Sect who happened to pass by and rescued you, how to say that you are also a little related to our Hehuan Sect. ”
Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth showed a faint smile, and said, "Let's talk about something directly." ”
"Clever!" Li Mengxue praised and said, "What is the origin of that seven-tailed sky fox in the mountain behind the White Horse Academy in the south of the city?"
Xiaoqing was stunned, seemed a little stunned, and said, "Did you provoke her?"
Li Mengxue said: "Sort of." ”
Xiaoqing said: "Bai Su is not an ordinary fox demon, I advise you to provoke her less, she was originally a fox demon who cultivated in the Ten Thousand Fox Ancient Caves of Qilin Mountain in the southwest, hundreds of years ago was chased and killed by the masters of the Kunlun faction, and lived in the south of the Yangtze River, she has been living in seclusion on Xiaoyu Mountain, and has never heard of her going down the mountain to harm people, and in the past few hundred years, there have been many self-proclaimed righteous cultivators who have come to kill, but none of them have benefited, especially after the famous Shangguan Wugui of the Shushan faction suffered a loss under her more than fifty years ago, the righteous people no longer dared to provoke her. ”
Li Mengxue was slightly surprised, and said: "Shangguan Wujiao lost to Bai Su? By no means, even if she condenses the Seven Tails to reach the realm of the Heavenly Fox, but Shangguan Wugui's attainments in Shushan Sword Dao are not trivial, how can she suffer under Bai Su's hands?"
Shangguan Wujiao, who was famous in the Kunlun War 80 years ago, is a famous master of the Shushan lineage in the world, even if the current head of Shushan Yuxuzi wants to defeat Shangguan Wujiao, I am afraid that it will be after three hundred moves.
In Li Mengxue's cognition, Bai Su is by no means Shangguan's unblamed opponent.
Xiao Qing shook her head slightly, and said: "Bai Su has an amazing immortal treasure on her body, which was passed down by her mother, and it is the supreme magic weapon of the demon clan, and it is not surprising that Shangguan Wuyi suffered under his hands......
In the distance, a fat monk and a little Taoist priest walked noisily this way.
The fat monk snorted: "Stinky Taoist, you should be stingy, anyway, I won't go with you to catch ghosts and corpses in the future, two zombies are 1,000 taels of silver, you only divided me 300 taels, are you my cheap labor? If I hadn't trapped those two zombies with the Great Compassion Curse the night before yesterday, how could you have subdued them?!"
The little Taoist priest said: "Monk Hua, you also said that I took it, and I spent more than a dozen precious talismans, what if I take a little more? ”
The fat monk stretched out his hand to touch his heart, and said righteously: "You have always treated me badly, you have always used me! You are a big liar! When you were a child, when you were fighting, you ran away first, and you stole food first, do you remember Xiaoxue in the neighboring village? Back then, you knew that I was interested in her, but you dared to snatch love with a knife!"
The little Taoist priest said: "You are less self-absorbed, Xiaoxue was obviously interested in me back then, you were as fat as a stump at that time, how could she fall in love with you, and you didn't mention that I almost forgot, if you hadn't disturbed the situation back then, I would have given away the first kiss a long time ago, why didn't I delay until now and I haven't even pulled a girl's hand......"
Of course, these two people are the void phase and the Zhuge meteor. A few days ago, he went to Jiangbei to catch zombies separately from Yuanbao and others, and met in Lin'an City.
These two outstanding disciples of the righteous path caught the zombies naturally, and the next day they dragged the two zombies to the court to receive the reward, a total of 1,000 taels, and Zhuge Meteor monopolized 700 taels.
The two of them pinched up on the white embankment because of a daughter from a neighboring village named Xiaoxue when they were children, you punched me and kicked me, they were completely two scoundrels.
"Stop fighting, beauty!" Zhuge Meteor saw Xiaoqing and Li Mengxue standing on the broken bridge.
The empty phase turned his head to look, and sure enough, it was a beauty, and he immediately tidied up his clothes, and wanted to go up to talk to him, but suddenly, he frowned and said, "Stinky Taoist, these two women are not simple." ”
"What's not simple? Tut-tut, this woman in the south of the Yangtze River is really a top water spirit, look at the pink skin, look at the proud twin peaks, the beauty in Tsing Yi belongs to you, and the red dress is mine!"
"What? The one in the green clothes looks to be over twenty-three or fourteen years old, I don't want it, I want the one in the red clothes, about the same age as me, don't try to trick me again, or give me another two hundred taels of silver." ”
Zhuge Meteor sighed, and in order to prevent the empty phase from entangling with him about the two hundred taels of silver, he could only agree. said: "Okay, this time it's cheaper for you, the old rules ......"
The two walked behind Li Mengxue and Xiaoqing step by step, and suddenly, Zhuge Meteor took out a bit of broken silver and threw it on the ground.
The empty phase immediately exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Wow, there is silver on the ground, whose is it?"
At this time, Zhuge Meteor walked up to Li Mengxue and Xiaoqing, pinched the silver and said, "Two girls, is this silver yours?"
Xiaoqing frowned and ignored him, but Li Mengxue was stunned, looked at Zhuge Meteor, and then at the rather obscene empty phase, as if she remembered something.
"Orangutan, wilted?"
This meteor and the sky were taken aback, this was their nickname before they became monks, because this nickname was quite indecent, so it has always been the deepest secret in the hearts of the two, and no one has ever known it.
The empty phase frowned, looked at Li Mengxue's body exuding that kind of charm, and said, "Miss, who are you?"
Li Mengxue was pleasantly surprised: "It's really you, you have become a monk and a Taoist priest?" I, Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue from Xiaoli Zhuang eight years ago!"
The void phase and the Zhuge meteor looked at each other, and suddenly jumped up at the same time. shouted in unison: "Are you Xiaoxue?"
Eight years ago, the Central Plains was flooded, the Qinhuai River and the Yangtze River were seriously affected, and the village where Zhuge Meteor and the Sky Phase was located was washed away by the flood, and many people in the village died.
By chance, the two met famous teachers, one went to Bodhi Temple to be a monk, and the other went to Maoshan to be a Taoist.
In the past eight years, both of them have become the leaders of the younger generation. And their childhood companion Xiao Xue has also become a peerless beauty at this moment, but the two didn't expect that Xiao Xue was no longer the simple and kind girl next door back then, but the most prestigious dream fairy of the Demon Sect today.
People always can't stand the chatter, the two of them just fought over who Xiaoxue liked eight years ago, and now they met the real person in a blink of an eye.
Li Mengxue also didn't expect to meet her childhood companions here, she thought that the people in those villages had either died of floods or plagues.
"It's really a fate to come together for thousands of miles!" The empty phase dragged Zhuge Meteor and whispered excitedly: "Stinky Daoist, this is Xiaoxue, it's mine...... Don't be wrong. ”
Zhuge Meteor was furious and said, "What is yours? The person Xiaoxue liked back then was obviously me! How far did you hurry up and how far did you die, and you said that you still want a woman as a monk, so you are not afraid of the Buddha's punishment?"
Empty Xiang said: "I can return to the vulgar at any time! Besides, aren't you also a Taoist priest?"
Li Mengxue saw the two of them muttering together, and the happiness of seeing her childhood partner for the first time was gradually replaced by the reality in front of her, and she saw the pattern marks representing Bodhi Temple and Maoshan School at the neckline of the empty phase and the cuffs of Zhuge Meteor, and she was shocked.
Xiao Qing is a thousand-year-old snake demon, and he has long seen that these two people are righteous path cultivators, and said to Li Mengxue: "Do you know the two of them?"
Li Mengxue nodded and said, "We grew up together when we were children, and then we were separated." ”
Xiaoqing has seen through the vicissitudes and sorrows of the world for thousands of years, sighed, and said in a low voice: "Since ancient times, good and evil have not been separated, and these two people are definitely not human...... Hello do it yourself, I'll go first. ”
Xiaoqing slowly disappeared at the end of the white causeway with an oil-paper umbrella and walked towards the Leifeng Pagoda shrouded in mist.
Li Mengxue suddenly felt a bitter feeling welling up in her heart, she had been murderous all these years, and she had already become a demon girl who was angry with everyone and gods. She really didn't want the two people in front of her to know their identities, for fear that the two of them would see the clues, so she quietly took off the ice heart flower pinned to her head.
Since ancient times, good and evil have not been separated, and now they may still meet old acquaintances in a foreign land, and the next moment they may have to fight to the death.
Each for his own master.
"What are you muttering? I haven't seen you for so many years, and you're still the same. Li Mengxue smiled and walked towards the two.
The empty phase squeezed Zhuge Meteor aside with his chubby body, and said: "Xiaoxue, it turns out that you are not dead, it's really good, I thought you were dead all these years, and my tears were dry." ”
Zhuge Meteor was furious and shouted: "You don't lie to people, I heard you mention Xiaoxue's name, and you still cry?"
Empty Xiang said: "I mentioned it in my heart, and you can't see through my heart, how do you know that I am not thinking about Xiaoxue in my heart, what should you do, Xiaoxue, let's find a place to talk about life......"
He tugged on Li Mengxue's warm hand, and suddenly he was stunned, turned to look at Li Mengxue suddenly, and jumped away like an electric shock after a while.
Zhuge Meteor saw that the empty phase grabbed the hand of the goddess Xiaoxue in his heart, and was very dissatisfied, at this moment, he saw the empty phase like a ghost in vain and jumped away, especially his face was even more cloudy, and he said angrily: "Monk Hua, what are you doing?"
What kind of talent is emptiness? It is an excellent person who is regarded as the successor of the Zen master of Bodhi Temple, and the moment he made contact with Li Mengxue's palm just now, he already clearly felt the vast and surging true yuan in Li Mengxue's body, and that true yuan was by no means the right path, and it was very similar to the Hehuan Treasure of the Demon Sect.
Li Mengxue's face was a little dark, and she no longer had the indifferent and elegant smile she had before.
"Wilt, you...... You got it?"
Konglian stepped back again and again, shouting, "You are not Xiaoxue, who are you?"
Li Mengxue said: "I'm really Xiaoxue, it's just ...... It's just that it's no longer the little snow you know. ”
After speaking, she spread out the ice heart flower in her palm.
"Bingxin Strange Flower?!You are Li Mengxue, the demon girl of the Hehuan Sect!" The face of the empty face changed greatly, and as soon as these words came out, even Zhuge Meteor retreated in fright.
Li Mengxue smiled bitterly: "I'm Li Mengxue, you ...... Are you going to kill me?"
Zhuge Meteor said incredulously: "Xiaoxue, are you really Li Mengxue?"
Li Mengxue nodded and did not speak.
The damp wind blew through the three of them, and they all held their breath, at this moment, it should have been a happy thing to meet their old acquaintances in a foreign land, and the hearts of the three of them were like a boulder, depressed and depressed.
In the distance, Xiaoqing, who was standing on the white embankment and looked at the broken bridge, smiled at the handsome cheeks under the oil-paper umbrella, looked at the three people who were faintly facing each other on the broken bridge, and said to himself: "The north and south peaks are inserted into the sky, and the two peaks are relatively not connected. I came to Xinyu Lake late, and I was obsessed with locking the two tips. Li Mengxue, Li Mengxue, can you cut off the love thread, can you cut off all things, can you cut off the last demonic obstacle that hinders your cultivation?"
There is an obstacle in everyone's heart, and the obstacle in Yuanbao's heart is that he was exchanged for three taels and two coins by his loved ones ten years ago.
The obstacle in Li Mengxue's heart is that although she has killed countless people over the years, she still has a little conscience.
