Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Road Is Blank

A field as green as oil spreads over the land, lush. Smoke curls from the cooking houses in several farmhouses, and the fragrance of flowers and mud is mixed together.

Li Zhichen took Mei Hanyao's hand and walked all the way, just walking casually, wandering unintentionally. When I walked to a place, I looked up and saw that I had come to a town. A small city stands beside a hill, and passers-by and carts rush to the outside of the city.

Li Zhichen dragged Mei Hanyao into the city, and the houses in the city were like more business. And the sun has set in the western mountains, twilight, and the dim light melts into the earth. Many farmers are also starting to return home, but businessmen are just beginning.

The two of them found an inn and walked in. I saw that there were few guests in the inn, and occasionally a few sat on chairs and drank wine.

The shopkeeper ran over, a dry-skinned old man, and asked, "Dinner or lodging?"

Li Zhichen pinched the money in his shirt, but found that there was not a penny, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he had always been a big disciple of the Cloud Dao Sect, how could he have plenty of money on him? The last time he rescued Xue Qingyun, he had already used it up. But he still said: "Stay, two." ”

At this time, Mei Hanyao, who was silent, looked at Li Zhichen, lowered her head again, and said suddenly: "No, just one room." Bring some more food. Li Zhichen's body froze, and he didn't know what to say. The old shopkeeper was a little ambiguous, smiled at the two of them, and led to the next room.

Li Zhichen sat on the chair, but his expression was a little unnatural, and he moved a plate of dishes and ate it. Mei Hanyao only watched him eat, but did not speak. Li Zhichen looked at her and said, "Yao'er, why don't you eat?" Mei Hanyao smiled and said, "I want to see you eat." Li Zhichen pinched it for her, and without saying much, Mei Hanyao picked it up with chopsticks with a smile and ate it. After the two of them ate, Mei Hanyao leaned in his arms and said, "Brother Chen, do you like me?"

Li Zhichen pinched her nose and said with a smile: "Yao'er, what are you talking about? Why do you seem to be a different person today?"

Mei Hanyao looked at him blankly, and said vaguely: "Will you hate me?" Li Zhichen couldn't hear it, and said, "What did you say?" Mei Hanyao suddenly stretched out his head and kissed him. Li Zhichen's mind was empty, so he hugged Mei Hanyao tightly.

As soon as it was dawn, a rooster's crow tore through the last of the darkness, and a ray of morning light fell on the windowsill.

Li Zhichen reached out and touched it in his sleep, but he felt empty, and woke up suddenly, only to find that he was the only one left in the room. He casually shouted, "Ya'er, Yao'er." For a long time, but there was no response.

Li Zhichen's heart was shocked, as if something terrible would happen. In a hurry, he put on his clothes and ran out of the room, but he stumbled and almost fell.

It's just that there are only people who have just come to breakfast in this inn, and a few are sitting in front of the window, and there is no figure of Mei Hanyao. Li Zhichen's heart was on fire, and he ran over and grabbed the old shopkeeper's collar, and said, "Have you seen the woman who came with me yesterday?"

The old shopkeeper's eyes were dizzy, and he said, "What's wrong with the guest officer? I have not seen the woman who came with you. ”

Li Zhichen put down the old shopkeeper, his eyes swept around, his heart became more and more uneasy, and he ran to the outside of the inn, all the way around, looking for it all over the city, even turning over every dark corner. But I never saw that figure.

Li Zhichen muttered to himself: "Where did she go, where did she go?"

The whole person was stunned, and ran out of the city in a daze, walking along the mountain roads, trying to see the figure, his steps were hurried, but he didn't know where to go. Finally sat down on a land, and said without a god in his eyes: "Yao'er, Yao'er, where are you? Where are you?" Tears kept pouring out of his eyes. At this time, the sun has come out, the breeze is blowing, and the sound of warm birds is broken. A shepherd boy in the distance rode a ox and sang a self-composed mountain song, singing: "The two feelings are just like spring flowers blooming, and the flowers bloom all over the sky without color." Geography combs silver yarn, snow green mountains and white heads. ”

Li Zhichen listened to the singing, only to feel more like talking about himself, his heart was almost broken, and he unconsciously cried loudly.

The shepherd boy approached, and saw an old man lying on the ground crying, and could not help but be ridiculous and puzzled, and said, "Hey, uncle, why are you crying like a child?"

Li Zhichen came back to his senses, only to realize that he was crying, stood up, shook his head and said, "It's okay." I'm just sad in my heart. ”

The shepherd boy said: "Why is it hurt?" Li Zhichen smiled bitterly and said, "How can you pay attention to it?" The shepherd boy looked dissatisfied, and said with a "hey" voice: "What can't be ignored! My father said, I am very smart, I can read any book." ”

Li Zhichen shook his head, looked up to the sky and sighed: "You say, where should I go?" The shepherd boy said: "You just go back to your home." ”

Li Zhichen said: "Home...... Home, my home?", I was confused, and walked all the way. The shepherd boy met a madman, shook his head, and began to sing his own tune.

It is not as painful as the last time Li Zhichen left the Tianhua Building, but compared to this time, there is more pain like eating bones and stealing hearts. This is probably the reason why I knew that the relationship was broken last time, but this time the relationship between the two is even deeper.

With Li Zhichen's cultivation, although he walked in a daze, he was also extremely fast, and when he looked up, he saw that he came to the east here, and he was actually at the foot of the Yufeng Sect Mountain. Li Zhichen walked into a restaurant, ran into it in a mad man, and shouted, "Come on." At this time, Li Zhichen had been walking for many days, and his white clothes were already in tatters, covered with dirt, and he was like a beggar. Xiao Er frowned, and was about to step forward to drive away.

Li Zhichen suddenly thought, if Mei Hanyao just went out to buy something, could it be that she was too impulsive to run out, but when she came back, she couldn't find herself. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel anxious, and hurriedly stood up and was about to rush out.

At this time, a voice said, "Is that Li Zhichen, the senior disciple of the Cloud Dao Sect?" Li Zhichen was stunned, and when he looked back, he saw a man in a purple Taoist robe and a golden crown in the restaurant looking at him with a stunned expression. The two disciples next to him were dressed in white, a man and a woman.

Li Zhichen saw that person clearly, it was actually Dongli Tianji, the owner of Penglai Island in Hezhou in the east, and the two behind him were his two disciples. Li Zhichen didn't expect that he would take Xue Qingyun to Penglai Island to find Dongli Tianji at that time, but learned that he did not go back, but met here by chance at this time.

Dongli Tianji saw Li Zhichen's dirty appearance, frowned, and thought: "The Demon Eradication Society has issued a notice, Li Zhichen has betrayed the Demon Eradication Society and has entered the Demon Dao. Now the Demon Eradicator is sending troops to chase and kill. And the Cloud Dao Sect also issued a clear statement, asking people to hunt down Li Zhichen, and discuss other things after Li Zhichen was sent to the Cloud Dao Sect. Could it be that this Li Zhichen has been hunted down like this?"

Dongli Tianji still got up and walked out, and said to Li Zhichen: "Brother Li, please." ”

Li Zhichen also had an old relationship with Dongli Tianji in his early years, so he followed upstairs and sat down. Dongli Tianji pointed to the two disciples and said, "Qingfeng, Tingting, you go and find a pair of clean clothes for Brother Li." The two of them said in unison, "Yes, Master." ”

Li Zhichen also looked at his body at this time, it was really dirty and messy, and there was a smell. sighed in his heart: Have you fallen to this appearance? I didn't even notice it, smiled bitterly, and said to Dongli Tianji: "Thank you Brother Tianji." ”

Dongli Tianji smiled, touched his chin and beard in his hand, and said: "Those are the two apprentices I accepted soon, because there were obstacles in the previous life, and they were not allowed to be together, so I accepted them as apprentices in this life." One is called Gu Qingfeng and the other is Duan Tingting. ”

Li Zhichen shook his head, and his heart was even more miserable, they couldn't be together in the last life, but they could be together in this life. Should I be the same with Yao'er?

Dongli Tianji suddenly lowered his voice and said, "How did Brother Li get expelled from the Demon Extermination Society and enter the Demon Dao?" Li Zhichen was silent for a while, and then sighed and said, "I don't know. ”

Dongli Tianji only said that he didn't want to say it, and he didn't force it, so he said: "Recently, the demon world has been rampant, and the killing of cultivators is even more severe. His thief ambition is clearly revealed. But he also showed his own strength, which really chilled the world's sects. Brother Li already knew that the Imperial Wind Sect was destroyed, and after that, the Demon Realm sent troops, and the three major realm masters made a major event that shocked the cultivation world, Brother Li has ever heard of it?"

Li Zhichen already knew that he was referring to the destruction of the Huang Shark Sect, but he still asked, "What's the matter?" Dongli Tianji shook his head and said: "The three major realm masters of the Demon Realm killed the Huang Shark Sect, trapped Sha Huiyan in the array, and killed the three elders of the Huang Shark Sect in a row, and although Sha Huiyan broke the formation, he was powerless to return to the sky in front of the three major realm masters, and desperately threw the disciples under the seat into the escape tunnel, and he was hit by the three major realm masters together, and he had already fallen. A fragment of the Fengyun Pure Yang Sword hidden on the Yellow Shark Sect was also taken away. ”

Li Zhichen frowned and said, "The Imperial Wind Sect is said to have a fragment of the Pure Yang Sword hidden in its Jade Sword Peak, could it be that it was also destroyed because of this?"

Dongli Tianji picked up a glass of wine on the table and drank it, and said, "Everyone is grabbing these seven holy weapons, just because they have the god of heaven and earth, the power of the sun and the moon. If you have one, you can stand at the pinnacle of monasticism. And the Fengyun Pure Yang Sword is at the head of the Seven Holy Weapons, and its power is also extraordinary. Although it is divided into seven sections, if you gather seven sections and restore them again, the power will also be restored. Now the hilt of the sword is on the Cloud Dao Sect, a sword blade is in the Demon Eradication Society, a section is taken by the Demon Realm in the Huang Shark Sect, and the Imperial Wind Sect is said to have a section, but after being destroyed, it is not known where. ”

At this time, Gu Qingfeng and Duan Tingting had already returned, Gu Qingfeng was holding a white robe in his hand, handed it to Li Zhichen, and said, "Senior Li is wearing it." Li Zhichen saw that Gu Qingfeng was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and although his appearance was still naïve, he was already a little handsome. Duan Tingting is also beautiful and beautiful, and she is already a little beauty. And Duan Tingting walked up to Dongli Tianji and whispered something.

Dongli Tianji listened carefully, his face changed slightly, and after Duan Tingting finished speaking, he raised a glass of wine on the table, took a sip, raised his hand and said, "Brother Li, please avoid the curtain first." Lin Fei, the city lord of Eastern Border City, and Qi Hengxuan, the wind is coming. ”

Li Zhichen frowned and said, "Are they here?"

Dongli Tianji said: "In the demon world, there are many demons, and many people do things that harm sentient beings. And there are also people in the demon path who are accustomed to it and want to enter the demon world. Recently, the rise of the demon path has done some harm to the righteous path. As early as seven days ago, the three leaders of the Demon Eradication Society, Cheng Lin Ting, and Wu Qing held a meeting in the Demon Eradication Department to discuss the matter of dealing with the Demon Dao. Lin Fei, as the largest castle in the east, the city lord of Eastern Realm City, also responded to the call. Now I am invited to join me on important matters. ”

Li Zhichen nodded slowly, stood up and said, "Then I'll go to the back to avoid it first." So saying, he went behind the curtain and hid.

Dongli Tianji sat down and said with a smile: "Please city lord." ”

As soon as these words fell, a figure slowly walked in and said, "Lin Fei, the city lord of Eastern Realm City, has come to visit the island lord. ”

Li Zhichen looked from behind the curtain and saw that Lin Fei, the city lord of Eastern Border City, was a woman in her twenties, wearing a white skirt with a faint jasmine on the skirt. And the long hair is combed behind the back and down to the hips. Silver teeth, green sideburns and silver hairpins. is extremely beautiful, and she is also a woman who has captivated the country and the city.

Behind him were two people, one dressed in a gorgeous robe, with round eyes and high jawbones, and hands behind his back. One was dressed in a plain robe, with a sword tied around his waist, and his figure was quite tall and proud.

Dongli Tianji stood up, invited the three of them to take a seat, and said: "The city lord is peerless, and he will not lose his hope." ”

Lin Fei smiled faintly and said, "The owner of Dongli Island is polite, I came here today to discuss with the island owner what the unintentional alliance master explained at the demon eradication meeting. ”

Dongli Tianji smiled slightly, touched his beard in his hand, and said, "The alliance leader asked me and the city lord to guard the Eastern Realm City, in case the Demon Realm comes again, and the other sects will guard the Western Realm City, the Southern Realm City and the Northern Realm City, just in case." I went to North Ruolan Island. ”

Lin Fei nodded, frowned slightly, supported his forehead with his slender hand, and sighed: "It's just that within the Eastern Realm, the Imperial Wind Sect has been destroyed by the Demon Realm, and there are not many masters. I'm worried that if the demon world comes to attack, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop it. ”
