Chapter Fifty-Eight: Yamano Village

Liu Xiang swung his long sword and cut off two golden bells. Xiao Yuxue snorted coldly, her body jumped slightly, and the rigid and soft rope on her body shot out. Liu Xiang leaned lightly and dodged. The long sword in his hand was not slow at all, pointing at Xiao Yuxue's body.

Xiao Yuxue's white skirt turned, and as soon as the two long sleeves were opened, the two white ropes flew up like flexible butterflies. And Xiao Yuxue's body jumped, as if she was like a fairy in the sky, which was wonderful. Liu Xiang stood still and saw two white ropes put on, and the golden bells on the ropes shook gently, like a rattlesnake coil, which was terrifying. With a leap of his body, the long sword stabbed out violently, piercing a white rope directly, and with a slight grasp of his left hand, another white rope seemed to fly up automatically and was pinched in his hand.

Xiao Yuxue's face was cold, her slender hand flicked, her long sleeves were waved, and the rigid and flexible rope that Liu Xiang pinched in her hand was twisted like a crocodile, and the bell jingled.

Liu Xiang frowned, and shot out a sword at Xiao Yuxue, and pulled Xiao Yuxue with the other hand, and pulled Xiao Yuxue over, Xiao Yuxue saw Liu Xiang stabbing horizontally, his face changed slightly, his body jumped, and his toes were just a little at the tip of Liu Xiang's sword, turned over, and slapped out with one palm.

Liu Xiang took two steps backwards and blocked with his long sword. And Xiao Yuxue jumped a few steps back after hitting the long sword with one palm.

In less than half a moment, the two of them have had several rounds of tricks, but they are extremely dangerous. Among the dangers, Rao is Li Zhichen couldn't help but sweat for it. And the guests in the inn have long run out, and even the shopkeeper saw that someone was killed, and some people drew their swords and hid in the house and did not dare to come out.

Originally, the inn was narrow, and it was impossible to pull away from it. But Liu Xiang and Xiao Yuxue's cultivation is already extremely high, so they can't.

After a few more moves, Liu Xiang slashed his long sword, turned over, and jumped out of the inn. Xiao Yuxue was unhurried, shot the white rope in her hand, shook her body, and followed.

The two of them left the inn in a blink of an eye and started elsewhere.

Li Zhichen covered his hat, covered his face deeper, and got up and walked out. But he happened to pass by Xue Qingyun.

Xue Qingyun's face was pale, his body was soft, and he leaned against the wall. In the past few days, following Xiao Yuxue, along the way, Xiao Yuxue started to act in anger, relying on strong cultivation, and I don't know how many innocent people I killed. forced Xue Qingyun to learn spells and martial arts, but as soon as Xue Qingyun resisted a little, Xiao Yuxue was annoyed, and there were more killings. Later, when she saw that Xue Qingyun was afraid of killing, she said to her, if you learn this trick, you won't kill people, and if you can't learn it, you will always find someone to practice it for her. And after Xue Qingyun tried to be useless, he worked hard to learn what Xiao Yuxue taught.

At this time, seeing Xiao Yuxue killing people again in the blink of an eye, and fighting with a strong man, he was both happy and afraid.

Suddenly, I saw a man wearing a hat and a coat passing by, but he felt very familiar, looked back, and frowned.

And Li Zhichen strode away, and disappeared into the inn in a blink of an eye. Xue Qingyun was in a trance, feeling that this person was very familiar, but different, and he didn't know that it was Li Zhichen for a while.

When he couldn't see Li Zhichen's figure, his heart suddenly palpitated, he looked at the corner, and said, "Who is that......? Why ......" Suddenly's expression changed, and he shouted: "Brother Chen! Brother Chen! It must be Brother Chen!" hurriedly took a few steps and walked out of the inn.

It's just that when he ran out of the street, he didn't see Li Zhichen's figure again, Xue Qingyun looked around, and only felt at a loss in his heart.

Then he turned into a side street and ran, and finally staggered to the edge of a river, which flowed eastward, reflecting the sparkling waves. Xue Qingyun squatted down, with tears in his eyes, and muttered, "Could it be that I saw it wrong......" The figure flashed in his eyes again, but it always lingered.

Suddenly, he stood up, ran in a direction as if he had a sense in his heart, turned a street, and suddenly stopped. I saw a figure walking slowly in front of me, wasn't it Li Zhichen?

Xue Qingyun hurriedly ran over, stopped in front of Li Zhichen, looked at Li Zhichen with hazy eyes, and said, "Dust...... Brother Chen, is that you?"

Li Zhichen's body froze, but he slowly shook his head and said, "Miss, you recognize the wrong person." At this time, Li Zhichen's voice was dry and hoarse, like the voice of a hundred-year-old man. How could it be Li Zhichen?

Xue Qingyun's body trembled, his face was haggard and pale, and he slowly moved out of the way, and said, "I'm sorry, I ...... I recognized the wrong person. ”

Li Zhichen walked lightly, but his steps seemed a little staggering.

Xue Qingyun looked at Li Zhichen's figure stupidly, and said, "Really, isn't it......" Suddenly, his heart moved, and a thin line shot out of his hand, and he actually ejected Li Zhichen's hat.

Li Zhichen's body froze, but he never expected Xue Qingyun to flick his hat. Hurriedly leaned forward and ran forward.

And after Xue Qingyun bounced off Li Zhichen's hat, he saw Li Zhichen dodge and leave, and his heart was even more certain. hurriedly caught up, but how could Xue Qingyun's speed catch up with Li Zhichen, and after a while, he saw that Li Zhichen was about to leave her. Xue Qingyun's heart was even more anxious, his feet twisted, and he actually fell to the ground, looking at Li Zhichen's figure getting farther and farther away, and cried: "Brother Chen, why don't you want me anymore? Why?"

Li Zhichen's heart trembled, and he slowly stopped, Xue Qingyun saw him stop, limped up, grabbed Li Zhichen's long sleeves with one hand, tears rolled in his eyes, and said, "Is it really you?"

Li Zhichen slowly turned his head and looked at Xue Qingyun. When Xue Qingyun saw that the face of the person in front of him was black and thin, his eyes were sunken, and he looked like a dead person. With a shake of his hand, he took a few steps back, his eyes full of horror.

Li Zhichen looked at Xue Qingyun and said, "Did you see my appearance, are you scared?"

Xue Qingyun's body trembled slightly, he looked at Li Zhichen in disbelief in his eyes, and said, "Are you really Brother Chen?" Seeing his face clearly, it was Li Zhichen who was undoubted, but he seemed to be seventy years old.

Li Zhichen said: "I am." Xue Qingyun took a few steps back and muttered, "How is it possible?"

Li Zhichen laughed at himself and said, "Ah Yun, don't chase me, I've become like this, don't scare you." With that, he turned around and left.

Xue Qingyun ran up, grabbed his sleeve again, and suddenly, pulled out Li Zhichen's hand, only to see that Li Zhichen's hand was as thin as skin and bones, and his skin was yellow, like a person who had been dead for many years. couldn't help but tremble, and said, "You...... Why are you like this?"

Li Zhichen pulled back his hand and said, "Now my body is like this." As he spoke, he opened his chest.

I saw that Li Zhichen's chest was protruding, and his skin was black. In some places, there are white bones, but not a trace of flesh and blood.

Xue Qingyun stretched out his hand and stroked the skin on Li Zhichen's chest, only to feel that it was as hard as iron, but it was inelastic.

Xue Qingyun's eyes rolled down drop by drop, looked at Li Zhichen and said, "Dust...... Brother Chen, who turned you into this?"

Li Zhichen shook his head and said, "It's not anyone, it's my lifespan." I don't have much to live now, and in two months, my soul will dissipate, and this body will be sent to the loess. ”

Xue Qingyun squeezed Li Zhichen's hand tightly, tears rolled down, and said, "Brother Chen, Brother Chen, are you really?"

Li Zhichen said lightly: "Why should I lie to you." My body is long dead, but my soul is gone. It's just that it won't be long before I'm gone. Ayun, go back. ”

Xue Qingyun looked at Li Zhichen in front of him, and remembered the figure who was dressed in white like snow, with fluttering hair and an indifferent face, the two were obviously the same person, but now they have become like this.

Xue Qingyun stood up and said eagerly: "No, I won't go back! I will follow you! I don't want to leave you." ”

Li Zhichen smiled and said: "Look at my appearance, I am no longer the original me." I'm just a dry corpse now, won't you be afraid of me?"

Xue Qingyun hugged Li Zhichen fiercely, but his body was painful by the bones in Li Zhichen's body.

Wow, he cried out and said, "Brother Chen! You will always be my Brother Chen, I don't care what you become, you will always be! You will not change even if you die!"

Li Zhichen's body froze, patted her back slightly, and said, "Are you really not afraid of me?"

Xue Qingyun swallowed: "I'm just afraid that you will leave me." ”

Li Zhichen smiled slightly, took Xue Qingyun's hand, and said, "I only have two months left to live, are you willing to accompany me to the end?"

Xue Qingyun hugged him even tighter, and said, "Could it be ...... Isn't there any salvation?"

Li Zhichen gently stroked her hair and said, "It doesn't matter how long a person can live, what you have in the process is real." Death is just a relief for me. ”

Xue Qingyun slowly left his embrace, pulled Li Zhichen's hand tightly, and said, "Brother Chen, where do you want to go?" ”

Li Zhichen looked up to the sky and was silent for a while, before he said slowly: "I want to go back to the countryside, you accompany me." Let me also be a country farmer for two months. ”

Xue Qingyun said: "Okay!"

Li Zhichen took Xue Qingyun's hand, put on a hat again, and walked out of the city. The figures of the two disappeared into the city as if they had never been.

A few miles outside the city, a lush farmland with a few thatched huts standing aside. Outside the house, there was a well, and a woman of eighteen or nineteen, dressed plainly, carried a bucket of well water and poured it into the tank.

At this time, an old man who looked very thin came over and said with a smile: "Ah Yun, it's time to eat!"

With a smile on her face, the woman fetched another bucket of water before walking over, and three plates of vegetables and two bowls of rice were placed on a stone table outside the hut.

An old man sat on a stone chair waiting for her, and the woman sat down, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, let's eat!"

The old man smiled on his face, picked up a piece of green vegetables, and put it in his mouth, but he couldn't eat it. The woman ate it very deliciously, and she didn't seem to notice that the old man couldn't eat it.

At this time, a woman walked in outside, and said with a smile: "Sister Xue, are you having dinner with your grandfather?"

The woman hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Second aunt, no need." How can you be embarrassed?" the woman said with a look of reproach on her face, "Hey" and said, "What are you sorry about?

The woman smiled slightly and said, "Second aunt, I really don't need it." Just eat the vegetables. ”

When the woman saw her excuse, she had no choice but to give up. He smiled at the old man and said, "Husband, how are you doing? When you are old, you should go out for a walk more and practice." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Thank you, you will." ”

The woman whispered a few more words and left. This pair of grandchildren just moved in last month, the granddaughter is as beautiful as a fairy, and the grandfather is very old, and at first sight he was only a dead man. The granddaughter took her grandfather to the countryside every day to grow vegetables and lived a light life, while the woman lived next door to them and came to visit from time to time. It's also quite enthusiastic.

The woman muttered in her heart: Look at the old man, he doesn't know how old he is, he may leave at any time, the granddaughter is only a little old, and the old man will be lonely as soon as he leaves, so it is better to let the big cow go home and be a daughter-in-law! This woman is also very handsome.

The woman made up her mind, and came again in the evening with two catties of pork, but the woman couldn't refuse, so she reluctantly accepted. He hurriedly moved a chair for the woman.

The woman said to the woman, "Hey, Xue girl, go and work! I'll say a few words to your grandfather." ”

The woman smiled and said, "Okay, second aunt." So he went to the backyard to boil water.

The old man leaned on the chair and said with a smile: "Thank you sister for that pork." ”

The woman waved her hand and said, "Thank you, two pounds of pork." After a pause, he explained his intention to the old man.
