"Flame!"

It was like a sound from outside the sky, which came into Xu Yan's ears, and it was familiar and made him feel nostalgic.

After hearing the shout, Xu Yan slowly opened his eyes, and found that there was a beautiful face in front of him, she was smiling faintly, and then stared at herself intently.

Xu Yan smiled at her with some difficulty, and then found that he was lying flat on a grassland full of flowers, but his head was pillowed on the soft and elastic thigh of the other party. After Xu Yan hesitated for a moment, he still wanted to get up, but immediately felt that there was no pain in his body, even if he just moved casually, he couldn't help but grin.

Xu Yan exhaled a heavy breath, and finally gave up the idea of wanting to get up, and he opened his mouth to ask this beautiful woman whose face can be called unparalleled in the world, "Where is this, what's wrong with me?"

After hearing this, the woman replied in a gentle tone: "This is the hometown where we were born, you just finished the tribulation, what, have you forgotten?"

"Tribulation?" When Xu Yan heard these two words, a burst of suspicion suddenly appeared in his heart, and he then replied: "I'm not a spirit beast, where do I need to cross the tribulation?"

The woman's slender hand like a warm jade gently rubbed his forehead, as if she wanted to smooth out his frowning brows at the moment, and at the same time soothe the thousands of sorrows in his heart, she said in a leisurely tone: "It turns out that you don't remember anything." ”

After Xu Yan heard this, he couldn't help frowning deeper, but before he could say anything, in his ears, there was another sound of musical instruments playing, and then he heard someone singing, "It turns out that the purple and red are all over the place, and they are all paid to the broken wells like this." The beautiful scenery of the good day is the day, and the courtyard is happy. Morning and twilight rolls, clouds and clouds, rain and wind ......"

And as the sound of opera became more and more clear in his ears, the figure of the woman in front of him became more and more faint and blurred, as if a drop of ink dripping in clear water was gradually blurred, and finally faded until it disappeared.

When Xu Yan saw this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold the woman's beautiful face, but in the end he couldn't catch anything.

Looking at Xu Yan who was sleeping, she suddenly stretched out her hand as if she was going to grab something, and Gu Xueqing, who had been guarding the edge of the bed for five days and five nights, couldn't help but show a trace of surprise on her face, but then she saw a teardrop shed from the corner of Xu Yan's closed eyes.

Gu Xueqing's lips opened slightly, and she wanted to speak and stopped, not knowing whether she should wake him up or not, but just when she was still in the middle of weighing, Xu Yan, who had fainted due to overload in that battle, had already opened her eyes by herself.

After Xu Yan woke up, there was still a hint of redness left by tears in his eyes, but when he saw clearly that he was in a fairly clean room, and turned his head to see the young woman sitting beside him, he immediately wiped away the complicated emotions in his heart.

"It turned out to be just a dream!" Xu Yan muttered to himself in his heart before he said to Gu Xueqing beside him, "Senior Sister Gu, thank you." ”

Gu Xueqing saw that he had recovered, and the breath that had been hanging in her heart for the past few days finally relaxed, she shook her head and signaled that she was not polite, and then replied with a smile: "Little junior brother, you have finally woken up." ”

Xu Yan nodded very weakly at this, and he asked, "How long have I been asleep?" ”

Gu Xueqing replied truthfully: "It's been five days. ”

"It turns out that it's been so long, it seems that I have been bothering Senior Sister Gu to go home earlier. ”

When Gu Xueqing heard this, she removed the smile on her face and continued to shake her head, but this time, she didn't speak.

Xu Yan noticed the change in her mood, so he asked, "Senior Sister Gu, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Xueqing pondered for a moment before suddenly saying, "Actually...... Whether I go home or not doesn't matter as much as you do. ”

"Why is that?"

"Because my parents are gone, I just want to take this opportunity to go back and take a look at my uncle, although he has not been very good to me since he was a child, and even in order to get rid of me as soon as possible, he sent me to the Lotus Sect very early, but no matter what, I should go back to see him again. Besides, I also wanted to see the house that was made of rammed earth so that I didn't have to face wind and rain for the whole of my childhood, but I just don't know if it has collapsed after all these years. ”

When Xu Yan heard this answer, he couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart, if according to the identity of his current body, then his experience was no different from Gu Xueqing, because both parents died, and in the end, they were even sent to the Lotus Sect to practice.

Xu Yan looked at Gu Xueqing, who was a little depressed, and didn't say anything to comfort her, just hugged her head with both hands, and said leisurely: "It turns out that Senior Sister Gu and my experience are so similar, it's not a secret, my parents are no longer in this world, I went back to the village this time, and my thoughts are similar to yours, that is, I want to go back and give them a glass of wine on their graves, and by the way, I am visiting Grandpa Xu again." ”

Gu Xueqing originally thought that her experience was miserable enough, but she didn't expect that there was another person by her side who had the same experience as her, which couldn't help but make her a little unsure of what to say. Without waiting for her to speak, Xu Yan continued to ask, "How did Senior Sister Gu's parents die?"

Gu Xueqing opened her mouth and replied: "I actually don't know the reason, because when I was very young, they left their hometown, but one day, my uncle suddenly told me that my parents died far away. At first, I didn't believe it, and I didn't want to believe it, but over time, they never came back, so I had to acquiesce to this fact. ”

After Xu Yan heard this, he couldn't help frowning, but he didn't say anything more.

Gu Xueqing turned her head to look at him and asked, "What about the little junior brother, how did your parents die?"

Xu Yan mentioned those past events and memories in his mind, and replied in a flat tone: " I haven't seen my mother since I was born, because she died of dystocia when she gave birth to me, but according to Grandpa Xu, she is the most beautiful woman in our Xu family village, and she is still very gentle and virtuous in character, with my father, how to look at her are a little wronged her, and my father after her death, it has been a slump since then, every day is not immersed in drinking, or go to the gambling house to gamble, now think about it, he can pull me to a teenager and then drunk to death in his own muddy life, for him, it can be regarded as a great responsibility。 ”

After Gu Xueqing heard Xu Yan tell these past stories in a light tone, for some reason, her heart became a little gloomy, and she was silent for a long time before she whispered: "Actually, your father should love your mother very much, and even because he loves her too deeply, he became so heartbroken after losing her." ”

Xu Yan didn't choose to refute this, but just sighed and muttered: "People who are not awake in their dreams are afraid of death, and their feelings are not extremely affectionate." ”

But then, after a moment of reflection, and remembering the woman he had seen in his dream, he made a few more remarks about his own opinion. He continued to say to Gu Xueqing: "There is a saying that I don't know if Senior Sister Gu has heard of it, saying that the deceased cannot be traced. In my opinion, no matter how much a person loves another person, if one of them is no longer there, the living person still has to live well. Put yourself in their shoes, death is indeed not optional, but the dead should hope that the people who are still alive can continue to fly through life with their unfulfilled wishes, right?"

Gu Xueqing was speechless, but she could clearly feel the meaning of the other party when he said this, wanting to encourage her to live a good life.

Gu Xueqing suddenly remembered something, and asked Xu Yan bluntly, "Little junior brother was before, but what did you dream about?"

Xu Yan knew that his performance when he was about to wake up must have been seen by Gu Xueqing, so he explained with a smile: "I dreamed of an old man in my sleep, and then in the fog, I heard a burst of mournful opera outside the window, and I couldn't control my emotions for a while, but it made Senior Sister Gu laugh." ”

After Gu Xueqing heard this, her face shook her head very seriously, but she saw that Xu Yan didn't intend to elaborate, so she no longer wanted to get to the bottom of it, but stood up and said to the latter: "Little junior brother has slept for so long, he should be hungry now, I'll go and ask the shopkeeper to cook a few hot dishes and porridge, and then send them to the room for you to eat, now your body is still very weak, don't eat those dry foods for the time being." ”

Xu Yan did not refuse her kindness, but nodded with a smile and replied, "Then there is Senior Sister Lao Gu." ”

Gu Xueqing saw that he had no objections, so she replied that it was not troublesome, and then got up and left the room.

......

After the other party left the room, Xu Yan had time to check his physical state, and then he found that the situation on his body at the moment was quite bad.

Although after fainting, Gu Xueqing helped him feed the Recovery Pill, but because he himself could not use the healing method in the Long Bible in his sleep, the recovery speed of his injuries was actually very limited.

Xu Yan exhaled a long breath of turbidity, feeling a little more comfortable, and then, without the slightest hesitation, he directly started the healing method, but at the same time, he also cooperated with the medicinal power brought by the elixir to heal his injuries.

The battle five days ago was undoubtedly the strongest battle he had ever encountered so far, because Gao Yuan's cultivation had truly reached the peak of the six-rank realm, and the most important thing was that the other party not only successfully touched the threshold of the seven-rank realm, but also cultivated into a kind of void finger equivalent to the pseudo-seven-rank realm.

At that point, Xu Yan didn't know what kind of exercises the other party had learned, but he knew that in terms of power and destructive power, it was not inferior to the fourth type of Mountain Casting Fist in his Shaking Mountain Spectrum, and it was obviously more than a step higher than the first three moves in the Shaking Mountain Spectrum.

"If it weren't for the fact that the other party hadn't broken through to the seven-rank realm and really mastered that finger, I would have died on the mountain road in the end, right?" Xu Yan sighed in his heart and said to himself, and then, he felt that the leaf floating in his body was missing another one, and he couldn't help but still feel a little painful.

Of the four sword qi that Zhao Bailian had given him at the beginning, he had now used two of them. One is that in the selection competition before, when he and Zhou Xian were confronted in the finals, he was forced into the sword by the other party and had to do it, and afterwards, he was even warned by Zhao Bailian not to use these sword qi so easily, which meant nothing more than to let him not waste it in vain.

Originally, Xu Yan was still a little unimpressed by this, but as he used this sword qi again after his cultivation was improved, the feeling in his heart undoubtedly had a new feeling compared to before. If Zhao Bailian hadn't given him these sword qi, then after he crossed the level and forcibly used the Casting Mountain Fist, he would have completely lost his strength, and there would be no way to kill Gao Yuan and the others again.

Xu Yan suddenly had some expectations, where would the final limit of the sword qi that Zhao Bailian had given him with his eight-story cultivation be, and whether it could continue to grow with his own cultivation, and also make their power reach the level of the latter itself?

If this is really the case, then after he breaks through to the upper three realms, he can use these two sword qi as the ultimate hole card or killing move.

About a quarter of an hour.

With the help of the long Bible, Xu Yan was finally able to slowly sit up cross-legged from the bed, which was the best news for him, because sitting cross-legged and running the healing method was much smoother than when he was lying down, but after another quarter of an hour had passed, the closed door in front of him was gently pushed open.

Xu Yan opened his eyes and looked at the person who opened the door, and when he saw that it was Gu Xueqing who had gone and returned, he immediately stopped continuing to recover from his injuries, and then, he got up from the bed with a smile and came to the table to sit down, and asked curiously: "Why did Senior Sister Gu personally do the work of serving tea and water." ”

Gu Xueqing was holding a wooden plate in his hand, in addition to a pot of tea, there were three plates of steaming side dishes, and a sweet potato porridge.

These three dishes are all more distinctive dishes in Jingning Town, one is red crispy pork, one is braised field fish, and the last one is the eight-treasure dish that can no longer be eaten except here.

Xu Yan smelled the fragrance of the vegetables, and suddenly felt hungry, plus the appearance of these three dishes seemed to be excellent, which made him salivate even more.

Gu Xueqing took out all the items from the wooden plate and put them on the table, and gave Xu Yan a bowl of sweet potato porridge, and handed it to him before he replied: "I have nothing to do when I am idle, so I went to see those cooks cooking for a while, and found that the original cooking of a dish was so exquisite, do you remember when we first started the spring hunt, we ate the barbecue you made in Furong Gorge? At that time, everyone thought that you should become a cook." ”

Xu Yan had just taken a sip of sweet potato porridge to moisten his throat, when he heard the other party's ridicule, he could only shake his head with a wry smile and replied: " That's because when they were in the sect, the big guys ate very poorly, and when they went out, they could only eat dry food, and whoever ate it for a long time couldn't stand it, so they could eat a fresh meal, and everyone naturally felt that it was delicious in the world. ”

Gu Xueqing didn't worry too much about this issue with the other party, just smiled, and then gave herself a bowl of sweet potato porridge and drank it in small sips.

About a quarter of an hour or less.

Xu Yan ate all the dishes cleanly, but Gu Xueqing, she only ate about a quarter of them.

Xu Yan exhaled with great satisfaction and said, "The feeling after a full stomach is indeed not the same, as if even the injuries on the body have healed a lot. ”

Gu Xueqing said while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks: "Little junior brother doesn't need to worry about this day or two, anyway, we have enough time to spare, it is better to wait for your injuries to be completely harmless, and then we will continue on the road." ”

Xu Yan didn't refuse her proposal, nodded and replied, "Well, I will wait until the injury has recovered to at least seventy or eighty percent before making the next step." ”

However, just after one night, when the next morning came, Gu Xueqing, who went to open a room again, knocked on the door of the room by Xu Yan, and the latter said to her with a smile: "My injuries have almost recovered, let's go downstairs to eat some and leave early." ”

Gu Xueqing felt that the aura on his body was indeed about the same as usual, so he didn't say anything more, and directly nodded and agreed.

And after the two of them left the inn completely, the shopkeeper, who was still a little sleepy-eyed, couldn't help muttering: "This pair of young men and women is really strange, they were still in the same room a few days ago, but they slept in separate rooms last night, looking at their appearance, it doesn't look like something has changed." ”

The shopkeeper heard his shopkeeper muttering there, and immediately rewarded him with a chestnut, knocked him up completely, and reprimanded him angrily: "What are you talking about, do you know that chewing the root of your tongue behind your back is a taboo in business." ”

After the shopkeeper heard the reprimand, he was immediately silent and didn't dare to say anything more, but it is unknown whether he continued to slander himself in his heart.

Xu Yan and the others walked out of the inn, and went directly in the direction of the north out of the city, no longer stopping. However, when their figures disappeared on the road, they didn't know that in this Jingning Town, there were many Xinluan flying high in the sky at the same time.

And the direction in which they fly is exactly the same as the two of them.

......

Zhangjia Village.

Three days ago, Zhang Chun had already woken up from a coma, and to this day, after taking the next Rejuvenation Pill every day, his injuries have improved greatly.

In the early morning, Zhangjia Village is in the middle of the mountains and forests, so the air is very fresh and pleasant.

After Zhang Chun got up early and drank the porridge that his sister cooked for him, he came to the viewing pavilion outside the village entrance as usual to breathe fresh air, but he told his sister that he was here to recuperate, but there was actually a more important reason.

Because when her sister handed him the letter Xu Yan had left for him, and heard the latter tell him how Xu Yan had saved his life, there was a violent struggle in his heart.

Should we continue to hate him, or should we be grateful to him?

Looking at the dense martial arts techniques recorded on the five pieces of letter paper in his hand, Zhang Chun has been thinking about this question for the past few days, but he can't get the answer he wants.
