Riding the horse all the way for hundreds of miles, it seemed that only a few days after leaving the mountain, the border gate of Xijun was already behind him, and the young man with a slightly thin face, but still handsome, had no intention of slowing down the horse's hooves. The black horse under the seat let go of its hooves, and headed straight to the east like a cloud of black ink light exploding from the endless rain curtain.
The bad horse with messy coats behind him also refused to give an inch. It was carrying the young man who was obviously more inexperienced in riding skills. It showed no sign of weakness and steadily followed the black horse in front, almost. Keep pace with each other and never fall behind. For two consecutive days, even when a bonfire was raised at night and they slept in the open air, the young man with a cold and handsome face did not say a word. During the vigil, he wrapped himself in a felt and lost consciousness. When it was the turn of another young man to stay vigil, he himself Then he turned his head and fell asleep until it was almost dawn. For several days, even though the young man with poor riding skills kept making jokes and bragging, the handsome young man ignored him.
"It's not so urgent to go beyond the eastern territory of Yizhang, so why bother rushing in the rain?" The young man wiped the rain off his face with great effort, grabbed the reins and reached forward, pushing aside the rain curtain and shouting, "Even if a martial artist is infected with The wind and cold will destroy your health if you delay. There are no inns or hospitals around here. If you catch the wind and cold for a long time, what should you do?"
The handsome young man in front suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse. The horse's hooves stopped suddenly, and mud and rain splashed all around. "Which one is more important, the cold wind, than the difficulty of walking in the future? I have no worries in the mountains. I naturally don't know how old I am." I have been flowing around, with green hair and green hair, but I have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time. I know that I can't help myself. If a mere rain can stop my uncle, then just go to take shelter from the rain and go to the Eastern Territory to practice before the next person."
The face of the young man beside him was sluggish, but after hesitating for a moment, he still asked softly, "A few days ago, senior brother asked you to go to the back mountain to practice hard. Is it possible that you were depressed because of this incident, so you rarely spoke out during this journey? "
"Although Wen Yu knows that his temperament is defective, how can he be dissatisfied with his master's teachings?" The young man in front of him, dressed as a knight errant, reined in the reins and turned around with a cold expression, "Uncle Master is interested in this matter, so why not Make a decision early on whether to take shelter from the rain first or go on the road together. Arrive at the eastern border of Yizhang one day early and practice one day early. Maybe it is true as the master said, and you can find an opportunity to make a career here. At least you can get the sword skills. Hard work can be regarded as a good deed." The words were cold and desolate, and the autumn rain outside the sky fell to the ground. It was very different from the season on the mountain, and the young man who was sitting on the bad horse was lost in thought.
"Well, if you have to choose, then just do whatever you want, don't worry about others." Being questioned one after another, Yun Zhong was also unhappy. He frowned, but said calmly, "But I'm going east here." It will take nearly a month to travel to this place, and the horses will be exhausted, and it will take ten days to run day and night. The autumn wind and autumn rain moisten the seedlings, but they are harmful to people. Do you really want to march in the rain?"
Wen Yu, who was dressed as a man, did not answer and rode away.
Senior brother Liu Qing was not the only person traveling to Nangong Mountain this time, but the four disciples of Nangong Mountain went down the mountain together with Wen Yu. However, the directions were different. Yun Zhong and Wen Yu went straight east on the same road. , in order to avoid a lot of trouble, Wen Yu loosened her bun and tied it up, put on tough clothes and robes, and pretended to be a man holding a sword. After another day, the autumn rain became more and more fierce. The force of the torrential rain was still three points better than that in summer. It was even more chilly and scratching the bones. The black deer around them were extremely strong. On the way, they encountered patrols and inspections on the official road, and the season stopped. , the muscles on both shoulders could not help but tremble, and in addition to the smooth official road, there was a lot of mud along the way, making it difficult to stay. In this day, the journey did not go too far, and it was much slower than the previous two days. .
It was getting late, and Yun Zhong heard Wen Yu coughing one after another in front of him, as if he was very tired. When he urged his horse forward again, he found that the woman's face was red, she was holding the reins with one hand, and her whole body could not help but tremble. The woman is weak, not to mention her cultivation level is only comparable to the second realm. If she wants to rely on her inner energy to warm her body and steam her clothes, she is only a sliver deeper than Li Yuan, and cannot run smoothly. Now, if she forces luck, she will not be able to do anything on the road. He was exhausted, so after running all day long, even though Wen Yu had the foundation to practice swordsmanship, he could not withstand the coldness contained in the bone-shattering autumn rain.
Yun Zhong was still angry at first, but when he saw Wen Yu's trembling palms again, he couldn't help but say, "Look, I didn't listen to my seniors and now I have suffered such a loss. How can I go on my way again? I have to succeed." A moment of bravery, but in the end it only delays the journey, what do you want?" After saying that, he swung his saddle and dismounted, took the black deer aside without any explanation, picked a tree stump anywhere to tie it to, took out a handkerchief from his backpack, and covered it with warm On Yu's head, he still didn't have a moment to rest, and he said, "There is no village in front of me, and there is no city behind me. If there is a cold wind in the wilderness, I'm afraid it will take three to five days to recover. Now I'd better rest for a while." Wonderful, why bother?"

The young man, who had not yet grown up, was old-fashioned and chattering non-stop. He gathered the firewood around him that had not been stained by the autumn rain, took out the tattered firewood in his arms, finally lit the bonfire, and then slowly lifted Wen Yu, who was still stiff on the horse. He brought it to the fire, took the already soaked water bag and placed it on the side of the bonfire, wrung out the remaining rainwater in his hair, and then he had time to sit down, looking at the woman's red face, and was speechless for a moment.
It seems that my senior brother has said that this girl who seems to be noble and talented has an unspeakable secret when she comes to Nangong Mountain. Although she has never known it, since she was born in the immortal family, the difficulties are naturally more difficult, even that There is always a dilemma in Da Ziluan Palace. If it falls on me, it will be many times more difficult than chopping firewood and practicing swordplay.
"Actually, I only went up the mountain for more than a year. When I went into the mountain with Third Senior Brother, I thought I was one point higher than others. It was better to snatch the title from Third Senior Brother than to be at the bottom of Nangong Mountain." The young man saw Wen Yu. Grabbing the cloth handkerchief and wiping the rain from his hair, he felt relieved. He leaned on the wind-shielding boulder behind him and said to himself, "Now that I think about it, it is indeed a bit funny. Fighting for a seat and seniority is really like a child. It's like the school's seating arrangement, and everyone has to fight to sit in the front, but I don't know that if I get under the teacher's nose, all my actions will be noticed, and it will be most likely to be beaten, and it will be extremely painful."
Wen Yu didn't understand what he meant, and because his whole body was so tired and sore, he had no choice but to listen silently and wipe his hair clean.
"Before coming to Nangong Mountain, I already knew that my master was unreliable, but he never thought of throwing me into Qiling territory. I slowly walked with the caravan to Yizhang. It took several months to get my first taste of the world and know my family. It’s not easy to have a good family, and we know that despite being so proud and romantic, most people in the world are still working hard just for a bowl of food.”
"There is an old man in the caravan. I don't even know his real name. I only know his surname. He is very diligent on weekdays. This old Lu does all the chores in the caravan. He seems to have only drank a few bowls of wine. Besides, I love horses the most. No matter what kind of horses I encounter on the road, I have to look at them carefully for a while, and most of them are correct." The young man watched the black gauze in the sky disperse, the rain stopped, and a bright moon hung in the sky. , only to realize that today is the sun, the full moon and stars are chaotic, which is very beautiful, so he can't help but continue to talk on his own, "It wasn't until I approached Wulingpo that I realized that this extremely diligent man had no wife or children, and only lived in his home. My old mother is seriously ill, and the money she needs for her monthly decoction almost means she has to go out for a long journey. If there is a woman who catches her eye, it is absolutely correct to say that she can't avoid her."
"There are many worries and hardships in the world, and few joys. Even the people in the mountains are often willing to add the word "suffering" in front of their heads when practicing cultivation, calling it "hard work and hard enlightenment". That's right, but compared to that old Lu, The hardships on the path of spiritual practice are nothing more than minor."
The young man said in a good tone, "By chance, Miss Wen joined my senior brother's family. Although she is younger than the girl, she accidentally called me uncle. In this case, I must make it clear to the girl."
"I have been in the world for a long time, and I have also encountered troubles and worries that are beyond my ability. Therefore, what the girl said today actually understands everything. But there are always things that cannot be rushed. Go slowly, without slacking off, and there will always be something. It’s a good time to clear the clouds and see the sun.”
Wen Yu slowly stopped wiping her hair. Although her face was still red, it seemed much better than before. She looked at the bonfire in front of her and suddenly spoke.
"The back mountain ascetic practice is said to be ascetic practice because it refers directly to the heart disease. There is nothing in it, only a pool of water. You can see the hidden worries of your heart by looking at it. I see that the master of Xumeng Mansion can break through five diseases in the future. In this realm, the power and power in his body is no less than that of the leader of the Five Ultimates. Not to mention Nangong Mountain, all the immortal sects in the world bow their heads, let alone the Great Purple Luan Palace."
"How should I deal with myself when that time comes?" The woman smiled bitterly and handed the cloth to the boy, "Nangong Mountain has been kind to me, how can Wen Yu ask Nangong Mountain to stand up for me, except himself? I have no other choice but to sacrifice my life and practice hard. Therefore, my mind was unstable for a while and I spoke rudely. I hope my uncle will not blame me."
The young man sighed and raised his hand to pick it up, but he found that the woman's palm was hot, and even her eyes were a little hazy and drowsy. If she carefully probed the woman's forehead, it was like a burning charcoal.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the autumn rain was beginning to stop. A hundred miles away from the official road, in a mountain valley, a young man walked on the moon. He looked around by the light of a torch, stopping and walking. Autumn rain comes with the cold. After this rain, the night is as cold as a cold pool. The young man is dressed in single clothes. It looks very thin no matter how you look at it, but his steps never slow down. The cliffs and rocks, the treetops and the riverside, almost never rest all night long. Every time I found a medicinal herb, I carefully put it in my arms, and then walked away without stopping.
It wasn't until the sky turned white that he walked towards the bonfire in the distance.
The late moon looks like silver sand and plain snow, shining lightly on people.
When Wen Yu woke up again, his whole body felt much lighter. When he tried his best to open his eyes, he saw that the bonfire was still not extinguished, and the sound of peeling and peeling continued. However, the young man who had fallen asleep now had a water bag on his waist. On the side, the decoction has a strong flavor.
