The opening words are: "
Where do the fluttering mountains and rivers go? The breeze spreads thousands of miles across the sky. Life and death have become empty. The sun sets behind the courtyard, and I look at the Cloud Palace with a smile.
Until now, the people of my homeland have looked away, and the crows are singing and the cold trees are deserted. Disillusionment can be disillusioned in a moment. The names never go away, and we talk and laugh about old heroes. "
On the ancient yellow road, car marks ran over, raising a cloud of dust, which appeared again and again in the sun.
Looking up to both sides, one can see undulating mountains, dense forests and secluded forests; whistles are coming and going from both sides of the strait, and clouds are rising and falling in the sky. The breeze blows on my face, carrying the fragrance of hay, and it is rare to find peace.
Ye Ling lay on the haystack, letting the sun shine through his eyes without closing his eyes. Perhaps this pure sunshine could dispel the turbid worldly world and the haze of love and hate in his eyes.
It had been half a month since he woke up, and he followed a group of escorts, saying they were going to Taiyue, but he still disappeared.
Most of the injuries were healed, but the Dantian was damaged, the Taoist body was destroyed, and he became a mortal. There is no movement in the heart anymore, as deep as silence.
It rises in the east and sets in the west, and the bright sun never stays for a moment, just like things change and people change, how can we use time to rush it.
Towards evening, the motorcade slowly drove into a small town, and everyone smiled again. There was an inn where they could stay, where they could drink wine and sleep on the bed, and the hard work of several days was gone.
The old man who drove the car with a cigarette stick was named Chen Jiu. He was an octogenarian and had passed through three generations of chief escorts in the escort agency. Therefore, this person has the highest seniority and seniority, and everyone calls him "Nine Masters".
Master Jiu is old and can't use his hands or feet, so he only drives cars and discusses things. People are old and spirited, ghosts are old and spirited, they live a long time and see a lot; the old man is calm and has more solutions when faced with problems.
Xu Guo got out of the car with a smile on his face, holding the promise of sleeping soundly.
Ye Ling learned from Master Jiu that Xu Guo was in his forties and had no children. So when I see the child, I kiss him and I don’t want to let him go.
If someone is willing to take care of the promise, Ye Ling will naturally trust him with peace of mind.
"Brother Ye, come down quickly. You can have a good bed to sleep on tonight!"
Xu Guo greeted him with a smile, waking up Xu Nuo. Xu Guo was in a hurry while crying loudly, which was quite interesting.
Ye Ling didn't need anyone to support him. His Taoist power was gone, but his skills were still there. At least he had the embryo of the Xiantian realm. Among these bodyguards, he was not considered weak.
Ye Ling jumped off the carriage and followed a group of noisy escorts into the lobby. The shop was small but clean, and the old shopkeeper and his two uncles were busy with their duties.
Whether it is good or bad to receive an escort, the good thing is that you can drink meat and wine freely and make a lot of money; the bad thing is that you lift the table and stare at people, which is very intimidating.
This team has a total of fourteen carriages and thirty-four people, plus Ye Ling, thirty-five.
The team was led by the chief escort Wang Shu, a strong and powerful man over thirty years old. His skin was not black but white, and he did not look like a gangster.
Ye Lingguan thought that he already had the cultivation level of Peiyuan Realm, and he might be able to set foot in the Huiling Realm and become a monk in his lifetime.
Wine and meat were laid out on the table, and a group of rough people didn't care about etiquette. They just gobbled it up, laughed and yelled, making the store extremely noisy and instantly becoming more popular.
Xu Guo was afraid of disturbing Xu Guo, so he stood at the counter and coaxed her. But Xu Nuo cried harder and harder, which made Xu Guo feel distressed.
The old shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and said, "He is hungry. How come such a young child doesn't have a mother to feed him?"
Xu Guo was in a panic. A group of escorts who traveled around the world were looking for a woman to give birth to breast milk.
The old shopkeeper was a good man. It happened that his daughter-in-law had just given birth to a baby and had milk to feed her, so he greeted Xu Nuo and gave her a bite.
Ye Ling stepped forward and said to Xu Guodao: "Brother Xu, you have been tired for a long day. It's time to take a rest. Leave your promise to me."
"You are still injured..."
"It's okay," Ye Ling looked back at the lobby. After all, he couldn't get into the lively atmosphere: "Don't worry!"
So, Ye Ling went to the back hall with the promise in hand, handed it to the old shopkeeper's daughter-in-law, and sat at the stairs in a daze.
The old shopkeeper had nothing to do. He walked up to Ye Ling with his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Little brother, you don't look like an escort."
"I have a good eye," Ye Ling nodded and said, "I am a down-and-out person. They rescued me, but they didn't dislike me as a burden and took them with them."
The old man smiled when he heard this: "Little brother, I've said it before. How can anyone in this world become a burden if they haven't been frustrated at all?"
Ye Ling smiled and said nothing. Now that his lover is dead, his brothers are separated, and his cultivation is completely lost, is he more than frustrated? It's time to be reincarnated as a human being.
Not long after, the daughter-in-law took out Xu Nuo. The little guy had already eaten and fell asleep, with a peaceful look on his face.
Ye Ling looked at him and smiled bitterly to himself. Perhaps this promise was the reason why he was still alive.
It was late at night, but the store was brightly lit.
Ye Ling didn't eat. He was no longer used to eating. I don't want to drink wine either, it always feels too spicy.
Leaning in front of the window, he only hated the moonlight coming in, which always reminded him of the people who had passed away.
"Is there resurrection from the dead in this world? Is there reincarnation?" Ye Ling didn't believe in the misty theory, but at this moment, he desperately hoped that he was wrong.
"Dong-dong-dong-"
Xu Guo knocked on the door lightly: "Brother Ye, it's me!"
Ye Ling stood up and opened the door, and saw Xu Guo standing in front of the door with wine and food: "I saw you didn't eat anything at night. This is not okay. People are iron, and rice is steel. How can you not eat?"
While talking, the two entered the house.
Xu Guo put the tray on the table and climbed up to bed to see Xu Nuo, who was sleeping soundly. He really liked him to the core. After not seeing him for a while, he became extremely anxious: "This little guy is so annoying when he makes trouble, sleep." With this effort, I really love her from the bottom of my heart."
Ye Ling sat on the chair, looking at the food and wine on the table, silent...
In the lobby, most of the escorts dispersed to rest. After all, they still had to travel tomorrow morning, and they didn't know how long it would take before they could sleep on a soft bed again.
Master Jiu and Wang Shu were sitting in the lobby, watching the second brother coming and going to clean up the mess, and asked: "Xiao Er, is there still peace on the ground here?"
"To tell you the truth," the second brother came over and said, "Our place is really a good place. It's peaceful and safe, so don't worry!"
Wang Shu smiled and waved his hands, and then he and Jiuye walked upstairs:
"Is this kid lying?"
Master Jiu nodded: "We have been here all the way. Every house is closed and there are not many people in sight... It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Please tell everyone to leave immediately."
…
The night was dark and the town was quiet -
The convoy whipped its horses like thunder, galloping towards the east.
Ye Ling held Little Xu Nuo in her arms and couldn't stop crying. She didn't understand why the escort leader had to travel all night.
The bodyguards all looked solemn, naturally knowing Wang Shu's intentions.
As dawn approaches, morning light appears in the sky and the road lights up again. Seeing that the motorcade was about to cross a mountain pass, Wang Shu hurriedly stopped the carriage.
Master Jiu held up the cigarette pole and looked at the steep peaks and the mouth of the narrow valley in front of him. He blew out a breath of clear smoke and said, "This is a good land. If there are no thieves, it will be wasted."
As soon as he finished speaking, a whistle was heard in the mountains, and then flags were fluttering, and more than a hundred people sprang out from behind the rocks, each holding a weapon and looking menacing.
At the mouth of the valley, a dozen riders on horseback slowly came forward. The leader was bald and had a fierce look on his face: "Where do you want to run? I don't need to tell you the rules. Leave your things behind and take away your life. Otherwise, just leave them all together." !”
None of the bodyguards moved, only Wang Shu got off the carriage, stepped forward and raised his hand: "Master, as soon as Hong Guangzi got up, did you give me a beam for my brother? It seems that someone has set a cage, and I am here to disgrace the master He Lie." A kidnapper!"
The thief took one look at it and asked, "Tell me about it!"
"Tiger-headed man'er," Wang Shu said, "There is a number in the wide circle, Longxing."
Hearing this, the bandit leader cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang. However, I know the round brothers but not the flat ones. If you think about this gray ditch today, you will always leave the wheat color to feed my brothers." Haizi."
Wang Shu narrowed his eyes and said: "Brothers are not responsible for one person's back, please ask the head of the family to keep his reputation."
The bandit leader sneered: "If everyone wakes up in front of me, how can I still stand up as a kiln?"
Wang Shu's face darkened when he heard this: "If you don't leave the pink shell behind, you must touch Qingzi!"
A thin man next to the thief shouted: "Brother, what nonsense are you talking to him about? Let me go get him!"
As he spoke, all the bodyguards on the carriage took out their weapons and stood on both sides.
Wang Shu took a long knife thrown by his companion and drew it out of its sheath. The blade was cold.
On both sides, bandits waved flags and shouted, rushing down one after another to surround the convoy, facing each other with swords.
Xu Guo and Jiuye stood next to the last carriage. Xu Guo said to Ye Ling: "Brother Ye, get down first to avoid being hurt!"
Ye Ling turned over and jumped down upon hearing this, with a calm expression on his face. It's just that he doesn't know how much strength he can use to deal with these bandits now.
"kill!"
As he spoke, the thin man next to the thief brandished his sword and rushed towards Wang Shu on horseback.
Wang Shu's expression remained unchanged. When he came close, he immediately dodged to avoid the horse's hooves. Immediately afterwards, the sword hit the wind and fell into the moon, and a cold light flashed, and the thin man was killed by being chopped off his horse.
When the thief saw it, he was furious: "What a good boy, you really don't know how to live or die!"
Just as he was about to ride forward to avenge his men, a loud shout suddenly came from the hill on the left: "In broad daylight, the sky is bright, you dare to commit murder in public, you are so bold!"
Ye Ling looked around and saw a thirty-four-year-old man standing with a sword in his hand and an imposing manner: "
The man was young and had an unshaven chin. He was in rags and mess, with straw sandals on his feet.
Her hair was tied back, and there were a few scars at the corners of her eyes. I travel far and wide with my sword, and if you ask me, you will be called a hero. "
The man waved his long sword and ran down with a strange scream. Unexpectedly, he tripped over a stubborn stone on the road, and then rolled down the mountain wailing all the way: "Ah--"
It was so funny that it made the bandits laugh loudly: "Where did you come from, idiot? I'm really laughing to death!"
"Just these two times, you dare to imitate others and act like a hero. You really don't know how to live or die."
"I'm too lazy to kill people like this, so you guys should do it!"
The man frowned, got up from the ground, rubbed his sore butt, still aggressive, and hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Who is not afraid of death, dare to fight me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several bandits turned around, holding the steel knives in their hands and looking at him with disdain.
The man immediately panicked, and the corner of his mouth twitched several times: "Let's... Let's agree first that only... a man can be considered a hero if he fights alone. You can't..."
"What nonsense, cut him off!"
Several people raised their swords and started to chop. The man's wrist was weak and his sword was knocked out of his hand. He sat down on the ground, his face turned pale.
The bandit in front of him laughed loudly and said: "Remember in the next life, don't act like a hero!" As he said that, he raised the blade high and dropped it head on.
The man was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes and could not move at all.
But after waiting for a long time, he still didn't feel any pain, so he hurriedly opened his eyes and searched up and down: "Where is the wound? Where is the wound?"
At this moment, a drop of blood fell on the bridge of his nose. Looking up, he saw the bandit's eyes widened, his chest pierced by a wooden sword, and he fell dead.
The bandits on both sides didn't know why. They didn't even see where the wooden sword came from, so they shouted at the man: "You are such a bastard. If you dare to hurt my brother's life, you must die!"
"Oh my god, I didn't do this!"
The man hurriedly got up and ran away, almost crying but without tears: "Am I not here to do justice?"
