In heavy snow and cold weather, don’t go under the eaves.
This word of mouth has been passed down in the North for a long time, and all the people in the North have long remembered this in their hearts, as naturally as eating and drinking.
The cornices are hung with ice and covered with snow. If they overturn for a moment, they must not be asked to give way to those who are passing by.
As the lanterns swayed, the inn turned green due to the freezing cold weather. For a while, it was filled with soft light, which climbed up the branches and warmed the lanterns. In the eyes of people who have lived in the south for a long time, the northern border is mostly desolate, cold and desolate. Most of the lights are temporarily hidden at night, for fear of being frozen by the severe cold outside in the night, which is as fierce as snakes and beasts. It condenses, but in fact it is not the case.
Many residents take advantage of this time to put the wild vegetables that are rare to survive into late autumn into jars and marinate them properly for use when the new year comes. Even in today's extremely cold weather, there are still often wild vegetables in the middle of the street. When you see pedestrians, you try your best to swing your legs and move your whole body, so that the blood all over your body flows faster, so as to keep out the cold and add some warmth. Therefore, few people stay outside the inn, but many shops are still open, and through them, Most of the lights that are emitted are moved closer to the streets and alleys outside the houses, so as not only for their own convenience, but also for the convenience of passers-by, illuminating the thick ice and snow in front of the door to prevent people from slipping.
Occasionally, people who are in a hurry, or who are really shivering from the cold weather, step directly into the shop, maybe not buying anything at all, just asking for a bowl of water, and there are often quite a few people in the shop. Eagerly, he handed over some food and warm soup.
In these years when the sky is filled with gloom and there is no vegetation growing on the ground, people's hearts and actions can often influence the life or death of a lonely person.
Yun Zhong's eyes were slightly closed at the inn, but his whole body was filled with a billowing wave of sword energy. Bu Yingqing, who was sitting not far away and was waiting for Yun Zhong to leave, also sensed something was wrong, so he stepped forward. However, he was forced back a few steps by this wave. Even though he also released the three realms of energy, he still couldn't get closer.
As long as swordsmanship has such a sharp edge, Qianbu Yingqing has never thought that these swordsmen who rely on their sword energy to survive and establish their power are really so clever, because there are so many methods in the world. It is as vast as smoke, and it has infinite wonders and is most capable of moving mountains and filling seas, seizing the world's fortune, and obtaining the most brilliant and infinite Tao fruits. If the sword is really flourishing, why don't we see Shan Taorong walking on the sword? Shantaorong, who is well deserved now but few people can see his depth, has never regarded swordsmanship as his most brilliant skill, so it can be said that swordsmanship is not that high.
But now, when Yun Zhong's whole body rises like a sea of fire and a blazing sword energy, many things are naturally different. He is also standing in the three realms. Ren Bu Yingqing uses all his strength, almost using 90% of his magical powers. They never got closer, but there was sword light rolling out, flowing out from the cold hair of their skin and body. At its peak, the sword energy could no longer be said to be flowing, but pouring out. The whole room was covered with dense sword patterns. Wherever the light sword energy touches, the face will be cut like a mirror. It was like being cut by hundreds of invisible sharp edges without making any sound. It was not until Bu Yingqing, who was almost using all his skills, was forced to retreat out of the house that the sword energy surged, and it was slow to slow down. .
At this time, there was nothing else inside or outside the house, only crumbs and powder.
Then the swordsman who was sitting cross-legged suddenly turned pale, and then his figure disappeared without any warning. Bu Yingqing had already used his inner energy to seal everyone around him when Yun Zhong suddenly started to act strangely. He stopped and stood not far away with his sword in hand, but at this moment Yun Zhong's figure disappeared like a bubble, and he still didn't realize that someone had arranged such a cunning killing scheme.
There is also an inn not far away. It seems to be more prosperous than the inn where Yun Zhong and his wife stayed. Both the plaques and the displays between the rooms are much higher. There are many dignitaries staying in the inn, and Qingnikou is powerful. However, in this scene where the snow is rolling in, the sky is dark and the sky is white, with a thick layer of plain silk between them, there is a car tent slowly leaving in front of the inn. The carriage and horses are luxuriously decorated both inside and outside, with three horses pulling the carriage. Even the outside of the carriage tent is decorated with nanmutong paint. The shaft of the carriage is lightly tied with gold thread, and the curtain is made of brocade and blood bamboo.
Xia Jingyi, who was dressed in red brocade, raised a fist-sized jade seal in his hand and put it into his arms. However, he noticed that the little girl Ling Fei beside him didn't know whether it was because the night outside was getting darker and colder, or whether it was finally getting colder after many days. The fatigue of the past has been completely washed away by this feeling. Although it is still
Tired eyes were hazy, but he could see Xia Jingyi's actions just now, and he couldn't help but frown again, but he didn't refuse him thousands of miles away, but said angrily, pretending to be a ghost and not knowing who to scare.
"There are countless people who believe in gods and ghosts in Qingnikou. Why can't I do it?" Two eyes.
However, Ling Fei was not unreasonable, but hugged her shoulders and said contemptuously, "I am confused because of my age. Since I have never been out of Qingxuan Tower many times, I certainly have rarely seen outsiders who believe in gods and ghosts. I just saw you as a believer pointing fingers at the jade seal, so of course I can’t blame anyone else but you.”
Xia Jingyi, who rarely showed some embarrassment on his face, had no choice but to turn his face to the side and stopped talking to this outspoken but clever girl. He just said as if he had accidentally spoken, "I just bought some snacks." I bought a lot of dishes, honey water tea, and I don’t know what the food is like in Qingxuan Building. If you are hungry, you can just help yourself. I will go ahead and watch the road to avoid bumps." After that, He was about to get up and go to the groom's place, but he was immediately stopped by Ling Fei, but the girl's expression was rare.
Although the Qingxuan Building is mostly home to dozens of girls, most of the diners are usually drunk and willing to spend money like water. They invite these girls with good looks and figures to sing a little song or dance for a long time. It is for this reason that meals are often eaten very early, so people usually gather together first to finish the meal, and then wait to see if there are any guests. There are very few people eating alone, not to mention that Lingfei is already very popular. It seems that in retrospect, most of them eat and sleep with the same sisters. Even in Qingxuan Tower, there are some close relatives. However, everyone said that sleeping with Lingfei in his arms for a night is really like the moist jade in the arms, cool in summer and warm in winter. The best thing is to get a good sleep.
Therefore, Xia Jingyi was confusedly persuaded by Lingfei and sat aside silently, watching the girl open the food box with difficulty, her brows loosening and tightening.
For example, honey water is definitely not allowed to be seen by these girls in Qingxuan Building, let alone Xia Jingyi's food box. Most of it is fried in oil and more than half of it is meat. Although the chef's skills are exquisite , I didn't smell any fishy smell, but it still made the little girl's eyebrows almost shrink into a ball. She always raised her head and glared at the innocent Xia Jingyi, trying to lecture her. Honey, water and meat are the most uncontaminated foods. If you are really used to this kind of food and drink, you will definitely be fat and fat within two or three months. You may not even be able to wear such thin and gauzy clothes. By then, who The shopkeeper, who has a cold face, naturally wants to use his own methods to punish people, even in the snowy cold winter, which makes people not allowed to eat a grain of rice for several days. Running barefoot in the backyard of Qingxuan Tower, I can help my body and posture lose weight quickly.
So when Lingfei saw the season of honey, water and meat in front of her, her eyebrows suddenly became sad. Maybe she knew that such objects were not allowed to be touched, or maybe she had suffered the pain of such punishment earlier, so she reluctantly suppressed her greed and turned to scold Xia Jingyi. .
Poor Xia Jingyi, who was once among the top ten in the world of spiritual practice, was choked speechless by a little girl who was only good at singing and dancing. He hesitated and finally had to lower his head and whisper softly that he was sorry to the girl.
But when she looked up again, Lingfei drank half a cup of honey water generously and took a bite of a hoof that was as big as a fist. The food looked particularly scary, and she kept mumbling, saying that if it was a big deal, she would put the blame on Xia Jingyi. Anyway, Qing Fei Xuanlou probably didn't dare to provoke Xia Jingyi, and of course it was not his fault, so he acted like a cub that had been greedy for many years, eating with both hands until his face was shiny, until Xia Jingyi's face had never seen many sincere smiles. Above, some gentle smiles slowly appeared, as if they were some light from the winter sun filtering in from outside the icy lake.
"Sword wielder, do you think why I want you to stay and eat and drink with me?"
Xia Jingyi's eyes were still looking at Lingfei's face, and he naturally shook his head when he heard this.
"When my father was framed, I sat in front of the house with a porcelain bowl in my arms. The officials who came to ransack the house smashed the celadon bowl and snatched away all the items in the house that they could, making it difficult to move them. He smashed it casually. When my mother went out to stop her, she was knocked to the ground. She was shocked and angry, and she died soon. From then on, she would no longer eat alone unless there were other people around. Watch from the sidelines.”
The little girl's eyebrows were drooped, and there were a few grains of rice hanging from the corners of her mouth.
He spoke vaguely.
Xia Jingyi never knew how to persuade people, he only knew how to kill people, so he blinked for a long time and just choked out this sentence.
"You see, I use a sword. I'm done with this. How about avenging you? Just think of it as a good deed."
Ling Feixun looked up with tears in her eyes, but then she looked up and down at Xia Jingyi's figure, which was obviously a little thin, and thought about the masters who had been to Qingxuan Tower over the years, most of whom were rough and strong, and shook her head, not knowing whether she was afraid of Xia Jingyi's death, I still really didn't believe that the person in front of me could have the ability to kill people with a sword alone, so I didn't hesitate at all and shook my head desperately.
"At worst, how many culprits will be killed with this square jade seal?" As a last resort, Xia Jingyi took out the square jade seal from his arms and shook it in his hand, but he almost couldn't hold it firmly.
Lingfei burst into tears and smiled, although she had never cried and laughed so shamelessly as she did now, and there were still greasy grains of rice on the corners of her mouth and face. Looking at Xia Jingyi's embarrassment, she smiled so hard that she rolled her eyes.
Maybe there are many things in the world that you can learn, but you just haven't had the opportunity yet, and the most rare opportunity in the world is to get a chance to meet someone in the sea of thousands of people.
