Chapter 24: Xu Le!
After Lu Xia left the bamboo building, he walked directly towards the back mountain, walking, but saw that the mountain was verdant and green, layer upon layer, the mountain wind passed by, and the bamboo sea rose and fell, like the waves of the sea, which was extremely spectacular.
It was early in the morning, and there was a faint mist floating in the bamboo forest, like a light veil. On the green bamboo leaves on both sides of the path, there are crystal dew drops, which are beautiful and clear.
Lu Xia took a deep breath of the mountain air, stretched his waist casually, and looked around at the familiar bamboo forest, his face full of nostalgia.
He was in the middle of the green sea, his expression was very serene, but his eyes were filled with ripples of memory, his thoughts were flying, his whole body relaxed, and he walked absentmindedly towards the top of the mountain.
Unexpectedly, in just half a year, I passed by death several times, and each time it became more and more dangerous.
I just want to practice well, and after cultivating great supernatural powers, I can seek justice for those relatives who have been wronged into reincarnation, is this too much? Why do you have trouble coming to your door again and again?
Is it true that after I have the ability to cultivate, it becomes easy to cause trouble? I was originally an immortal, why did someone force me to become a demon? Is my path really full of blood?
No one answered, the breeze swept Lu Xia's long hair scattered at will, and only the bamboo waves echoed around him, as if asking: Do you regret becoming an immortal cultivator? Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of you, can you retreat? Do you still have a way out?
Lu Xia stopped on a narrow path in the mountains, then turned into a bamboo forest, and after walking for a while, finally found a large rock in a clearing and sat on it.
He looked at the verdant mountains, looked at the colorful sky, listened to the wind and bamboo waves, his expression was complicated and sad, and he was silent for a long time.
Over the years, he has been too tired to live, and more and more things are on his back, all of which are pressing on his body like a mountain, but he is not allowed to stop, he can only keep moving forward, constantly running towards the goal in his heart.
In this world of the jungle, in this sect where the strong are respected, Lu Xia has no way to retreat at all, not even a chance to take a breath, as long as he stops, then facing him may be death.
Lu Xia remembered the bloody night back then, Song Shichao, and the scenes that had happened in the past ten years, the past was condensed like a memory rune, flashing in front of him......
Sometimes he was excited, sometimes sad, sometimes frowned, sometimes laughed...... Until the end, when it seemed that all the memories had fallen silent back into the depths of time, the corners of Lu Xia's eyes were stained with tears, and his eyes were warm and red.
The wind was whistling, the bamboo shadows were swaying, the morning glow was shining, and after a while, the sunlight finally broke through the clouds and bloomed with golden light.
The golden light spread between the heavens and the earth, circulating in Lu Xia's body, he reached out and gently wiped the corners of his eyes, his gaze became colder and colder, colder and colder, and in the end, two sharp and cold sword lights burst out, extremely cold.
Lu Xia's expression was like a hard bluestone, and he muttered: "Since there is no way out, then use the knife in my hand to cut out a bright future!"
If there is no way out, why should I retreat? When a man is alive, he should have a responsibility! Even if the heavens and the earth collapse, they will not be able to bend my backbone!
With a thought in his mind, Lu Xia summoned the Heavenly Killing Knife from the sea of qi, and the moment he held the knife, he completely changed into a person, only to see his eyes cold, and the vitality in his body swayed, swinging the knife at his black shadow reflected by the sun.
"Bang", there was a sudden explosion, and the Zhutian knife slashed the bluestone with a strong vitality, and the bluestone exploded, and the gravel burst out.
"In ancient times, someone cut meat and fed the eagle to prove the throne! Now I, Lu Xia, cut the shadow with a knife, I only hope to kill the courage in the future, cultivate the strongest supernatural powers, and kill the strongest enemy, so as to live up to the seven-foot man's body!"
The murmur carries the dreams and determination of the young man, drifting slowly in the verdant bamboo forest with the wind, maybe this is just his momentary emotion, but it is like a spark of stars, although small and dim, but it may ignite the fire of the prairie and burn the sky!
After being silent for a while, suddenly a strong vitality fluctuation erupted on Lu Xia's body, and the surface of his body was like a light veil, crystal clear, and it was actually a form of cultivation and refinement.
Lu Xia was stunned for a moment, and then a flash of joy flashed on his face, and said, "I didn't expect that the improvement of the cultivation of the state of mind would actually make the vitality more refined. ”
He suppressed his restless vitality, withdrew the Zhutian Sword into the sea of qi, and found a new piece of bluestone to sit down. Then he patted the storage bag on his waist and took out a jar of wine, which was the spirit wine that he bought in the market that day in order to confirm that someone was following him.
Lu Xia skillfully pulled out the stopper, as the stopper was unplugged, a rich wine fragrance wafted out, actually exuding the smell of spiritual fruits, there was spiritual energy condensation mist in the altar, rising curly, penetrated by the sunlight, as if conjuring a vine, hanging on the vine one by one green fruits, making people salivate.
Seeing this, he grinned and said, "I didn't expect the spirit wine to be so strange, it was in vain that I spent two primary-level spirit stones." ”
Lu Xia raised his head and poured a large sip of wine, ignoring the most outflow of the wine, stretched out his hand to wipe it, and said with a smile: "Sing the wine and laugh at the sky, and the sword dances with Qingyang blood." The golden scales are not in the pool, and the thousand altars are crazy when they drink it!"
The heroic laughter echoed in the bamboo forest, with a little youthful frivolity, with a little male enthusiasm, and he actually groaned with pride.
He rarely had such a carefree time, taking advantage of the wine, flat on the huge bluestone, laughing while pouring wine into his mouth, as if he had left all his worries behind, his face flushed red, and the corners of his mouth pursed an uninhibited smile.
"I'm so interested, I wonder if I can invite me to have a drink?"
Lu Xia was stunned, and got up a little unexpectedly, the reason why he came here was because it was remote enough and inaccessible to no one to disturb him, but he never expected that someone would come here and take the initiative to talk to himself. He looked up, and the sky was full of blue light, and a handsome young man dressed in blue with a long sword hanging from his waist was looking at him with a smile.
"Uh...... If this senior brother wants to drink, then come here. Lu Xia was a little embarrassed, squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the handsome young man opposite, and said carefully.
I don't know why, he inexplicably felt that this young man did not have the slightest malice, but had a strange affinity, and looking at the man's eyes, it seemed that he was really interested in the wine in his hand, maybe the people who love wine are not bad.
Besides, according to his state of distraction just now, if this young man had evil intentions and wanted to attack him, then he would definitely have no power to fight back.
"Okay. The young man smiled slightly, and walked slowly, and the goose-yellow light lingered around him, and outlined the golden edge for him, like a god's mansion coming out of the sun.
I saw him walk to Lu Xia's side and sit down like Lu Xia, and said a little lazily: "I haven't gone down the mountain for a long time, this spirit wine was bought in the Fang Market, I miss this taste a little." ”
Lu Xia nodded and said, "That's right, I didn't expect that Senior Brother actually knew so much about this wine." ”
"A drunkard who is a heavy drinker, there is nothing to show off. The young man's eyes were calm, he smiled, nodded and introduced himself: "Xu Le, disciple of Ten Thousand Sword Peak. ”
Then he saw the faint doubt on Lu Xia's face, and said with a slight smile: "Presumably, with your cultivation, you won't have heard of me." ”
Lu Xia was stunned, feeling that the name Xu Le didn't know where he had heard it, it was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Then he heard Xu Le's explanation, only to see that he also smiled and said, "Qingzhu Mountain, Lu Xia." ”
"Presumably, with your cultivation, you won't have heard of me. ”
"You're wrong, I happened to hear about you these days. Xu Le laughed, looked at Lu Xia for a while, and then said, "Yes, it's very interesting." ”
Lu Xia panicked, I don't know what Xu Le saw, but his face was extremely calm, his voice did not tremble at all, and said with a smile: "Why do I think that our self-reported family looks like we are going to fight." ”
After that, he threw the wine jar in his hand to Xu Le and said, "I can't beat you, drink the bar first." ”
Xu Le casually stretched out his right hand, and a burst of vitality disappeared, and he actually guided the wine jar to fall into his hand smoothly, and then he didn't pay attention to Lu Xia anymore, and after raising his head and pouring a few sips of wine, he laughed out loud: "Good wine! I haven't touched wine for several months, and the flowers in my mouth have faded." ”
After speaking, he raised the altar again and drank it, but after a while, Xu Le drank all the spiritual wine in the altar, and then seemed to remember something, and said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "This...... This one is drunk on a whim, don't you mind?"
Lu Xia shook his head, smiled helplessly, and said, "If Senior Brother wants it, there is still one here." ”
After speaking, he patted the storage bag, took out a jar of wine again, and threw it to Xu Le: "This is the last jar, senior brother, take it easy." ”
He had to kindly remind him that he had bought it because he wanted to drink, but it had been delayed. Today, I finally got up and wanted to drink hard, if he let him drink it all in three or two sips, then he would be hungry, which would be too unkind.
Xu Le took the wine, coughed dryly, and said, "No, senior brother just hasn't touched alcohol for too long, and he can't control his addiction to alcohol." ”
As he spoke, he skillfully unplugged the cork and drank unceremoniously again, gurgling incessantly, and wine flowed from the corners of his mouth, Xu Le didn't care, he drank happily, and his face was full of satisfaction.
"Bang", Xu Le only felt that the wine jar trembled slightly, and then it was snatched away, he looked at Lu Xia who looked depressed opposite, and felt funny for a while, and laughed.
But Lu Xia was extremely depressed, and after snatching the wine jar, he turned the mouth of the jar downward, and there was not a drop left.
He put down the wine jar gently, glared at Xu Le, and said helplessly: "If I hadn't been able to beat you, I think I might have fought with you now." ”
"You're going to grow up sooner or later, by the way, since you've invited me to drink, I'll send you a message. Xu Le's handsome face flashed with a smile as warm as the sun, and said, "Qiao Yiyu has already broken through to the sixth layer of Qi refining. And you almost killed Elder Liu's grandson, presumably the inner gate will be embarrassed by you when you advance to the war, plus Zhang Tao is also worried about you, boy, ask for more blessings. ”
