Shen Jie and Tang Bufeng recognized each other and chatted for a few words before realizing that Tang Bufeng had more than a dozen injuries all over his body, ranging from light to serious. The most serious one seemed to be a new injury just now, from the shoulder socket to the collarbone. It was slashed straight down to the lower abdomen. The wound was deep and blood was still flowing down. Even the yellow rouge horse hair under the seat was dyed red.
Shen Jie frowned, "This group of horse thieves are really ruthless in their attacks. I'm afraid your injury won't be able to heal for a while. In the past few days, you have been recovering from your injuries and don't run around. By the way, how is the Ruan family leader?"
Hearing this, Tang Bufeng lowered his eyelids and said in a deep voice, "If she hadn't taken action just now, I'm afraid the two of us wouldn't have been able to escape this disaster. To be honest, brother, I've been wandering around the world for a long time, but I've never seen him before. Such a wonderful method cannot be explained here, so Brother Shen just comes with me to have a look."
One person is riding a horse, and the other person is sitting on a scroll, running toward the site of the original ancient country. During this period, Tang Bufeng looked at the handsome man aside several times, feeling envious.
No matter how peaceful Tang Bufeng was, he still sighed secretly in his heart. Originally, he was just an ordinary man who studied poetry and books. In just a few months, he had no idea how lucky he was. His movements were filled with the spirit of an immortal. He had traveled through the world for ten years and used the immortal methods of flying in the sky. This was only Having seen it from a storyteller, the swordsman couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
After passing around seventy or eighty corpses of horse thieves and dead horses with broken joints, and passing three earthen walls, Shen Jie saw a woman covered in blood leaning against the base of the wall in front of him. His eyebrows immediately stood up and he quickly put them away. He picked up the book, stepped down from the picture scroll, and hurried two steps closer. He put his two fingers on the woman's wrist and said nothing for a long time.
It wasn't until the glimmer of light between his two fingers disappeared that Shen Jie took back his hand, took two steps back, and recited an ancient sage's proverb. He saw that the remaining wind and sand around him slowly stopped, and the earth wall on one side extended for several feet, stably protecting the woman under the wall. Stop, then he turned to Tang Bufeng and said, "The Ruan family leader has sacrificed a lot of money for you this time. Just now I felt the pulse with two fingers, and it seemed that all the energy in the Ruan family master's body has been exhausted. The internal energy accumulated in the Yuan Lien realm was already enough to enter the second realm, but now it is all released to hurt the enemy."
"I wonder how the Ruan family leader hurt the enemy just now?" Shen Jie looked for a boundary everywhere, sat on a broken white stone pillar, and spoke slowly.
The swordsman looked downcast, but he still opened his mouth to answer: "The two of us were no match for the siege of hundreds of horse thieves. Just now, Qiu Bai seemed to blow out the pure air from the palm of his hand, killing most of the horse thieves, and then fell unconscious. "
Shen Jie didn't speak for a long time, and finally sighed, "This move is probably not used in the initial stage. It is probably a move used by the old city lord to escape with the Ruan family leader before he goes out. If it is not a last resort, he probably won't use it anyway." . Maybe the old city master gave the Ruan family master more than this last move before going out. It may be easy to get out of trouble on your own. But this is the only move that is the safest and can at least save your life."
"Tang Shaoxia, the affection for me, the head of the Ruan family in Mocheng, is as great as the sun and the moon. I don't know how you can repay it." At this point, Shen Jie's tone was extremely serious, and his face became gloomy.
Outside the wind blows the vast sea of sand.
The young swordsman under the earthen wall lowered his head again and again, like a bloody chicken that was about to die.
"Qiu Bai didn't like me to begin with. She just said she didn't want to get married, which is actually right. I am a humble little swordsman in the world. I have valuable items all over my body. Only this knife makes me not rich. My background is not prominent, and I don’t have any immortal abilities. I have been practicing for several months, but I still haven’t seen what the second realm looks like.”
The swordsman spoke very slowly, not at all like the usual frivolous and frivolous Madman Tang. He just sat on the ground, dejected.
"Qiu Bai was originally the head of a high-ranking family in Mocheng City. Just a rare item can be sold for thousands of taels of silver. Not to mention his talent in cultivation, how can a down-and-out man like me be able to reach such a high level? From ancient times to the present, marriage has always been about people from the same family. Originally, I just thought it was a common saying, but after traveling with Qiubai, it really makes sense."
"What I can give her is nothing more than some superficial rules and experience in the world, and nothing else."
The swordsman held the corner of his broken clothes and murmured in a low voice, "Qiu Bai always recites two witty lines of poetry that have been passed down through the ages when he encounters beautiful scenery. But I can only ask from the side, is my wife cold? Do you want me?" Don’t add another piece of clothing.”
"Don't tell me, Brother Shen, that you have studied the sages' books. Even I, who have not studied for two years, find it disgraceful."
The swordsman hugged the long purple-sheathed sword, his eyebrows were lonely, and blood was dripping from his body, and his complexion became more and more sallow.
"I have been practicing swordsmanship since I was a child. After my father died, the only thing that restrained me was to chop my sword a thousand times all day long. If she really wanted to marry me, I would rather give up this sword and be tied to her for the rest of my life; but now this is If she doesn't want to marry, what can I give in return for this favor?"
Shen Jie didn't say anything, he just walked slowly in front of the poor man and lifted up the latter's shirt with one hand.
But even though the force used at this moment was extremely strong, Shen Jie's face was still calm, and he even smiled a little, "Tang Bufeng, do you really think that with your small kindness in leading the Ruan family to the world, you can get the Ruan family to go to the world without hesitation?" Abandon your cultivation and let you escape?"
The swordsman was lifted up by Shen Jie and pressed hard on the earth wall. Earth and rocks flew everywhere, but his eyes were much more lively than before.
"No matter how true some words are, they are not believable, and no matter how false they are, they are not necessarily false. Since you are willing to marry, why do you care about whether she is willing to marry? If you like someone but don't break the law, put on such a mournful look What’s the point of using face?”
The handsome young man slowly put the swordsman down, stuffed a pill into the swordsman's mouth, patted the latter's shoulder, and changed his tone to a warm tone, "A woman is thin-skinned. If she doesn't like you, how can she be willing to be with you?" Leaving Mocheng? It is certainly a good thing to know one's own shortcomings, but there is a big difference between self-knowledge and belittling one's self. Think about it carefully."
Tang Bufeng stood up slowly, walked to the woman and squatted down, hugging his arms, as if he were a refugee in a foreign land, and looked at the woman's face curiously.
"Brother Shen, do you have any more elixirs?"
Shen Jie was stunned by this kid's ridiculous behavior. He paused for a moment before taking out a pill and threw it to Tang Bufeng angrily. He picked up a book and started reading it as if no one else was watching.
After seeing the woman swallow the pill, Tang Bufeng took a deep breath, leaned next to the Ruan family leader, and asked, "When will Brother Shen leave?"
"The city lord has ordered that you two are in a low state now. I am here to take good care of you and not leave."
"Tsk, doesn't this prevent us from having a romantic relationship?"
"Your uncle."
"Students, don't always curse, it's not elegant."
Tang Bufeng stretched out, put his arms around the woman's shoulders, and fell asleep.
Very down to earth.
