Chapter 17: The Covenant of the South
Li Yunxuan smiled helplessly, walked to the shelves and looked up, only to see that the left, middle and right three rows of shelves were neatly placed with all kinds of gemstones, all of which were green, orange, red, light yellow, and blue five gems, each gem was marked with its attribute level and price, green was a power gem, orange was an agility gem, red was a physique gem, light yellow was an intelligence gem, and blue was a spiritual gem. The difference is that the gems on the left shelf are first-class gems and are sold for one gold, the gems on the middle shelf are third-grade gems and sold for nine gold, and the gems on the right shelf are five-grade gems and sold for eighty-one gold. Li Yunxuan exclaimed: "Wow, this fifth-level gem is not of high grade, and the price is really high." The gem merchant closed his eyes and threw over a sentence: "If you can't afford it, leave, don't ramble there, a fifth-level gem will stunned you, and others may not have your expression when using a ninth-level gem." "You ......" Qing Yan was about to get angry, but was stopped by Li Yunxuan, Li Yunxuan asked the gem merchant: "The highest level of gems here is only level five, how can there be a ninth-level gem?" And I heard that the shopkeeper is the only gem merchant in Chang'an City, right?" The gem merchant opened his eyes, looked Li Yunxuan up and down, stroked his beard, and said: "I can help you synthesize three fifth-level gems into a sixth-level one, and then combine three sixth-level gems into a seventh-level gem, and then ...... them." Before the gem merchant finished speaking, Qing Yan snorted coldly, "You might as well change to grab it faster." The gem merchant squinted at Qingyan and said, "Little girl, it's this price all over the world, and the gems in the whole world are in our monopoly, and there is no room for negotiation." "Hmph!" the gem merchant looked pale and stopped talking.
Li Yunxuan said: "Okay, since that's the case, I won't bargain with you, and help me prepare a set of ninth-level gems." Seeing that Li Yunxuan didn't care about money, the jewelry merchant walked down from his seat with a smile and said, "I don't care what weapon you hit the gem on, what I want to tell you is that each weapon can hit three gems, that is, you need to use eighty-one fifth-level gems to synthesize a ninth-level gem, in this way, three ninth-level gems need two hundred and forty-three fifth-level gems, and at the price of eighty-one gold each, it is ...... Nineteen thousand six hundred eighty-three gold. However, if you don't have the money, you can also buy three level 5 gems and put them on, which only costs two hundred and forty-three gold. Li Yunxuan looked at the gem merchant and said with a smile: "What I want is three ninth-level gems, shopkeeper, go and synthesize them, it's getting late for a while." The gem merchant touched a soft nail and said embarrassedly, "Pay first, nineteen thousand six hundred and eighty-three gold...... Gold!" Li Yunxuan smiled and took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, put them on the palm of the gem merchant's outstretched hand, and said, "I won't lose a gold for you, go ahead." The gem merchant glanced at Li Yunxuan and said, "The young man is happy." He turned and walked to the inner room.
Qingyan asked Li Yunxuan worriedly: "He won't deceive us, right?" Li Yunxuan said: "It shouldn't be." The gem merchant quickly came out of the inner room and handed a delicate box to Li Yunxuan, who opened the box, and three crystal green gems were neatly placed in the box, exuding a bright light. Closing the box, Li Yunxuan said, "I'm tired." Then he left the gem shop with Qingyan, and the gem merchant shook his head and said proudly, "You will come back to me, hehe." ”
The two came to the blacksmith shop again, and when the blacksmith saw Li Yunxuan coming back, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "How is it?" Li Yunxuan handed the box to the blacksmith and said, "It's a lot of trouble for the blacksmith master." The blacksmith smiled and said: "Making weapons and equipment, no one is better at it than me, don't worry, please follow the old man to borrow a step to speak." Li Yunxuan turned around and motioned for Qingyan to wait, and then walked with the blacksmith to a side room next to him. Walking into the room, the blacksmith said to Li Yunxuan: "Shaoxia must have spent a lot of money to buy these three gems, right?" Li Yunxuan smiled: "It's really not cheap." The blacksmith smiled: "Since the young man is so generous, the old man said bluntly, does the young man want to build a weapon that only belongs to him?" Li Yunxuan asked: "How do you say it?" The blacksmith replied: " It is to take the blood of the young man, with the cold ice and iron, so that the forged weapon belongs to only the young man, and the three gems that can increase the strength of the spear will only be emitted under the effect of the young man's internal force. Li Yunxuan said: "I heard the old master say that it is integrated into the blood, so this is the case?" The blacksmith smiled: "There is no lie, what is the young man's intention?" Li Yunxuan said: "Just according to what the old master said, but you have to worry about it." The blacksmith shook his head and said, "It is my pursuit for the rest of my life to continue to build a good weapon, and it proves that I am not old and useless, hehe." Li Yunxuan nodded and thanked the old blacksmith gratefully. The blacksmith sent Li Yunxuan and Qingyan out of the store, with a relieved smile on his face.
Outside the small courtyard of Li Yunxuan's residence in Xuanwu Altar, Leng Yue's eyes looked at Li Yunxuan's closed door without blinking, and he didn't know how many lines of tears slipped over his thin face, and his broken heart couldn't withstand any torture. Ouyang Bei stood behind Leng Yue, sighed and shook his head, "Xiao Yue, let's go back first." For half a year, you've been here every day, and he's been closed every day. Such a person really doesn't deserve to be so sad as you. Leng Yue said faintly: "It's me who I'm sorry Brother Yun Xuan, I don't want to hurt him, but he really doesn't know how much I miss him? In the past six months, every time I see the closed door, I hope it can be opened one day, Brother Yun Xuan walked out with a smile and called me 'Xiaoyue' again, why? Why have I never seen him again after half a year?" Ouyang Bei said helplessly: "Xiao Yue, are you sure Li Yunxuan is still here? Maybe he has already left the Xuanwu Altar and left the eternal friendship." "Nope. Leng Yue said affirmatively: "I can feel that Brother Yun Xuan is always by my side, and he will not leave." Ouyang Bei said: "Okay, since he is still here, then there will always be a day to meet, let's go back first, it's not a way to wait like this, I'll accompany you tomorrow, okay?" Leng Yue nodded, ready to leave with Ouyang Bei, and at the same time as they turned around, they saw Li Yunxuan and Qingyan who were talking and laughing from outside. The extremely embarrassing scene of an encounter made the four of them not know what to say, Ouyang Bei took the lead in breaking the dead silence, and said to Li Yunxuan and Qingyan: "What a long-term relationship, you guys are really happy to chat." Li Yunxuan looked at Leng Yue, who was standing beside Ouyang Bei, describing his emaciation and tears, and couldn't help but feel a thousand knives in his heart, but he still held back the grief and pain in his heart, glanced at Ouyang Bei, and said coldly: "Please leave." Ouyang Bei didn't expect Li Yunxuan to say this, he accompanied Leng Yue to this small courtyard every day, and waited day after day for more than half a year, in the past six months, he watched Leng Yue become more and more depressed day by day, thinner and thinner day by day, and his heart was getting more and more painful day by day, but he didn't expect to wait for this cold send-off order, and he was angry for a while, and said angrily: "People like you are not worthy of anyone to pay for you with any true feelings, and you are destined to be lonely for the rest of your life." After speaking, he turned to Leng Yue: "Xiaoyue, you can see him clearly, right? Let's go, and the mountains and rivers will never meet from now on." Li Yunxuan still said coldly: "Don't pretend to be a good person there, do you think that high martial arts are great?" Glancing at Leng Yue's weak appearance, Li Yunxuan couldn't help but feel sad, but the arrogance of the manly made him add stiffly: "What kind of people have you taken care of your own women? Ouyang Bei was speechless for a while, he really didn't expect Li Yunxuan to see him Ouyang Bei as a person like this, and also to see his relationship with Leng Yue like this, doesn't Li Yunxuan have any confidence in himself? Even if he doesn't have confidence in himself, then he doesn't have confidence in Leng Yue's love? The two people who grew up together don't have any trust at all? Ouyang Bei secretly thought in his heart: Maybe Li Yunxuan lost his heart because he loved Xiaoyue too much, and when he had the opportunity to wake up this lost authority in the future.
Ouyang Bei no longer paid attention to Li Yunxuan, grabbed Leng Yue's arm and was about to leave, when Li Yunxuan's challenging voice came from behind him: "Three days later, there will be a decisive battle on Zhongnan Mountain." "This kid. Ouyang Bei was stunned, turned his head to look at Leng Yue, and saw that Leng Yue kept shaking his head, so he comforted: "Xiao Yue, don't worry, I'll only teach him a small lesson." After speaking, he replied to Li Yunxuan without looking back: "Three days later, on Zhongnan Mountain, Taiyi Holy Realm, I will wait for you." Then he left the Xuanwu Altar with Leng Yue.
After Ouyang Bei and Leng Yue left, Li Yunxuan's mouthful of blood spat on the ground, Qingyan hurriedly stepped forward to hug Li Yunxuan, and asked anxiously, "Yunxuan, what's wrong with you?" Li Yunxuan waved his hand, didn't say anything, and went back to the room with Qingyan's support.
Sending Qingyan away, Li Yunxuan locked himself in the room, he didn't expect to see Leng Yue today, and what he didn't expect was to see the most beloved Xiaoyue in such a situation, Li Yunxuan really didn't know whether this was a torture or a kind of luck, when he saw Leng Yue's crumbling figure in the breeze, there were thousands of reluctance and pain in his heart, but he pretended to be arrogant and didn't seem to care about this qiē, maybe only he knew, his grief could be wrung out of blood, his heart was drawn into thousands of threads, once two little guesses, once determined in this life, That little sister Xiaoyue, who chased her all day long and called her sweetly "Brother Yun Xuan" very kindly, how could she be tortured like this? Was it her own fault? Was it her own ruthlessness that made Leng Yue so haggard because she didn't show up? Li Yunxuan inserted his fingers into his long hair in pain and muttered, "How can I be willing? How can I be willing?" Li Yunxuan is indeed reluctant, since he was a child, no matter how much he hurt Leng Yue, how much laughter has this little pistachio added to his life and his master's life, and how much color has he added to his gray and black life, how can he be willing to let her suffer the slightest grievance? But what is wrong now? How can he torture her for half a year?
Li Yunxuan raised his head, and two lines of tears slid down his cheeks and down his chest, saying that the man did not flick when he had tears, but he did not reach the sad place.
Three days later, on the South Mountain.
Leng Yue did not go with Ouyang Bei, but came to the Taiyi Holy Realm where the two of them fought early, standing in front of the Taiyi Cave, Leng Yue looked at the clouds and mist in front of him, in this Taiyi Holy Realm of "walking to the poor place of water and watching the clouds rise", Leng Yue suddenly had an idea of avoiding the world and isolating from the world. The vast South Mountain, stretching for hundreds of miles, is shy and shy under the fog like a young girl's half-covered and half-hidden beauty like a flower.
Leng Yue quietly looked at the beautiful scenery of Taiyi Holy Realm, and her quiet heart could no longer turn the slightest wave, standing on the top of the mountain, under the glacier, between heaven and earth, she forgot her own existence, forgot the existence of heaven and earth, and only the vastness of the sky was empty.
Li Yunxuan traveled all the way to Zhongnan Mountain, and retrieved the "Ghost Crying Spear" in the blacksmith shop in the early morning, according to the "Tiansha Marksmanship": "Ghost Crying: Killing Ghosts When You See Ghosts, You Kill Buddhas When You Meet Buddhas." Although it is not as expressive and exaggerated as recorded, it is definitely worthy of Li Yunxuan's profound internal force cultivation, the spear weighing more than 100 catties, the shining three gems are neatly inlaid on the handle of the spear, emitting a pale green light, under Li Yunxuan's slight internal force, the faint blue light emitted by the spear and the faint green light of the gem reflect each other, and the childish face is not only innate bravery and integrity, but also a little more persistent and stubborn at this time.
Ouyang Bei, who was already standing in front of the Taiyi Cave and waiting, looked at Li Yunxuan all the way with a smile, and said a few words of cruelty: "After the war book, but you are late, are you too timid to come? Or is the foot too slow and delayed for a long time? I have been waiting for you for a long time." Li Yunxuan saw Ouyang Bei's arrogant look, and what flashed in front of him was Leng Yue's weak appearance, and shouted: "Don't talk so much nonsense, I can't beat you, but I will be killed by you, what is there to be afraid of?" Li Yunxuan was not modest, the spear shot a collision that made Ouyang Bei freeze his body coldly, Ouyang Bei is not only a deep internal force, but also a war-torn Shushan young rookie, instantly relieved himself and slapped Haotian palm at Li Yunxuan, Li Yunxuan's internal strength is too much worse than Ouyang Bei after all, even if Ouyang Bei uses fifty percent of his internal force, Li Yunxuan has no chance of winning, and he was slapped to the ground by Haotian palm, "Anger burns the plain---- Li Yunxuan shouted, and suddenly "anger burns the plain" The hidden five styles were also used by Li Yunxuan, accompanied by "anger burning the plain" 's moves, Li Yunxuan rotated rapidly, the spear drew a circle on his head with a beautiful arc, the light blue faint light was like the ripples on the surface of the lake, rippling in circles, Ouyang Bei did not fight back, when Li Yunxuan was slapped by his Haotian palm, Ouyang Bei was stunned for a moment, he thought that Li Yunxuan would be very weak, but he didn't expect it to be so weak, just now Haotian palm himself only used fifty percent of the internal force, Li Yunxuan couldn't parry it, if he hit with all his strength, I'm afraid that Li Yunxuan would die if he couldn't stand a few moves, no wonder Leng Yue has been avoiding Li Yunxuan so painfully, her internal control of her power will ask her to take Li Yunxuan's life at any time, and it is so easy. Ouyang Bei only retreated, and had no intention of fighting back, Li Yunxuan became more and more angry, and finally waved his spear and shouted: "Sweeping the ----! of a thousand armies" and "Ghost crying" The spear actually emitted a red light under Li Yunxuan's move of "sweeping a thousand armies", and the whole earth was reflected red, and the snow on the top of Zhongnan Mountain for thousands of years gradually melted under the power of "sweeping thousands of armies". Ouyang Bei had no intention of fighting back, but at this time, he was even more controlled by this move to "sweep away thousands of troops", and he couldn't move a single bit, if Li Yunxuan hit Ouyang Bei, no matter how high Ouyang Bei's internal force was, no matter how weak Li Yunxuan was, Ouyang Bei would be more or less harmed.
"No----" Leng Yue, who had been standing in the distance, came straight to the two of them, but after all, he still didn't have time to stop it, Li Yunxuan's spear was firmly inserted into Ouyang Bei's left shoulder, "poof----" A mouthful of blood sprayed on the "Overlord Gun", and the blood dripped down the lance drop by drop, and in the still time, Leng Yue's helpless cry, Ouyang Bei's helpless smile, and Li Yunxuan's calm after venting the hatred in his heart......
Leng Yue quickly sealed Ouyang Bei's acupuncture points, pressed Ouyang Bei's wound with the palm of her hand, and raised her head to Li Yunxuan and asked, "Brother Yunxuan, why did you become so ruthless? I don't understand what happened to you, what is wrong with Xiao Bei? Don't forget, I only met Xiao Bei after I left you." Leng Yue's sad voice touched Li Yunxuan's heart, he let go of the spear and sat on the ground, his lost heart slowly turned around, yes, killing Ouyang Bei, is he really happy? Where have you been lost in the past six months?
Ouyang Bei, who had already taken care of Leng Yue's wounds, said to Leng Yue with a smile: "Xiao Yue, you go aside for the time being, you Brother Yunxuan, I want to enlighten him well." Leng Yue looked at Ouyang Bei worriedly: "I won't go, now that you have been injured by him, how can I watch you fight again?" Ouyang Bei smiled: "Xiao Yue, do you think that with your Brother Yunxuan's martial arts, you can hurt me so lightly? You can rest assured, he is angry now, and he is fine." Come, go over there. Leng Yue reluctantly walked slowly towards the place where she had just stood, turning her head from time to time to look in the direction where Ouyang Bei and Li Yunxuan were. Ouyang Bei stood up and walked to Li Yunxuan's side, patted Li Yunxuan's shoulder, and sat on the ground beside Li Yunxuan: "Yunxuan, I know that you feel uncomfortable, I thought you were a little weird in the Xuanwu Altar three days ago, so I agreed to your challenge, even if it was to let you out a bad breath." Li Yunxuan turned his head and quietly looked at Ouyang Bei and asked, "Why don't you dodge?" Ouyang Bei smiled, shook his head and didn't answer, his gaze gradually deepened with Leng Yue's back.
Leaving Ouyang Bei and Li Yunxuan, Leng Yue once again stood on the top of Zhongnan Mountain and looked at the extremely beautiful scenery in the distance, the upside-down ice on the branches beside him was still bearing the aftermath of Li Yunxuan's "sweeping thousands of armies", and kept turning into water and dripping, just like Leng Yue's trickling heart can never be finished. The matter between the two men should be solved by themselves, but what she doesn't know is that the topic of these two men will always be her.
