Basking in the autumn afternoon sunshine, the suffocation in Xie Xiangcai's chest weakened by three points.
When I was young, I often read the four words "autumn is high and the air is refreshing" in poems. However, the autumn in the northern region is often snowy, just like winter, so Xie Xiangcai could not understand the true meaning of that idiom.
However, when he arrived in Dongfeng City and felt the autumn wind blowing in his face, the young man quietly understood.
Xie Xiangcai took a deep breath, and a gust of wind blew up, carrying a faint fragrance.
Suddenly there was an impulse in the young man's heart, an impulse to run wildly to the end of the street and the deepest part of the entire Dongfeng City.
Just like many years ago, there was no difference among the countless small alleys in Fengxue Village.
Xie Xiangcai's nose felt sore, and he felt a sense of grievance in his heart for no reason.
Then, he took a deep breath, lowered his head, rolled up the sleeves of his trouser legs, and rushed towards the streets that ran through Dongfeng City from north to south.
On the endless street, a figure in green clothes turned into a long, narrow and blurry black line. Under the extremely astonished eyes of the people along the way, it swept towards the north, and the sound of the breaking wind it brought was deafening even if it was silent. .
The wind blew under Xie Xiangcai's feet, and his figure was like a refreshing breeze appearing out of thin air, refreshing his heart and mind.
In front of the window of Yuanyang Tower, a girl in a long skirt was having nothing to do. She leaned on the railing and looked into the distance. Wherever she looked, a young man in a green shirt was as handsome as the wind.
The curvature of Yueying's mouth was moving, and the hibiscus growing enthusiastically under the window sill was eclipsed for a moment.
Xie Xiangcai walked through the bustling streets. The road became wider and wider as he went north, until finally, the road turned into an extremely spacious open space. In front of the open space was a rising hillside.
The young man hesitated for a moment, and then his figure turned into a blurry black shadow again, flying towards the hillside.
Until the end, non-stop!
Half an hour later, Xie Xiangcai finally arrived at the top of the hill.
Xie Xiangcai gasped slightly, put his hands on his knees and raised half of his head to look forward.
As far as the eye can see, there is a fruit tree that is four to five feet high. On the fruit tree are fruits the size of a child's fist. The skin of the fruit is the color of a cockscomb, and the skin of the fruit undulates like ripples on the water, which is very strange.
Prime Minister Xie came closer and looked at these novel fruits with curiosity.
The Northern Territory is covered with ice and snow most of the year, and there are very few fruits. The boy has never seen such fruit trees, so it is not surprising.
The young man stood on tiptoe and barely touched a plump fruit.
He carefully opened the skin, revealing the amber flesh under the peel. The flesh was crystal clear and lovely.
Xie Xiangcai smelled the fragrance of the fruit, so he couldn't help but open his mouth and take a peck carefully. The juice flowed through the gaps between his teeth and onto the tip of his tongue. The refreshing sweetness filled the air and left an aftertaste between his lips and teeth.
The boy had never eaten such delicious fruit. He tore off dozens of plump and round fruits from the treetops, peeled them off and threw them into his mouth.
All of a sudden, Xie Xiangcai's feet were surrounded by bright black fruit cores.
Xie Xiangcai was full of food and was lying comfortably on the top of the mountain full of fragrant grass. The breeze blew by, which was intoxicating.
The pulp quietly turned into pure warm energy, nourishing the boy's meridians, and finally flowed into the rotating vortex in the center of the lower dantian, blending with the original power flowing from the top of his head, and nourishing each other.
In a daze, Xie Xiangcai heard the sound of gentle footsteps in his ears. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a young man and woman squatting in front of him.
The woman's face is thin but fair, with a slightly flat nose, distinct eyebrows, crescent-shaped eyebrows, and three black moles at the corners of her eyes that have a unique charm.
Her facial features may not be outstanding individually, but put together, they have a unique charm. At first glance, they are not admirable, but after looking at them for a long time, they will make people fascinated and unable to extricate themselves.
The woman stretched out a finger, lightly tapped Xie Xiangcai's cheek, and said to the young man beside her with a smile, "Look, what a handsome young man!"
The young man looked at Xie Xiangcai with a smile. For some reason, he felt a familiar feeling in his heart. He turned his head and said to the woman, "What, do you think I'm not good-looking?"
The woman rolled her eyes angrily, and then her eyes wandered back and forth between Xie Xiangcai and the young man very seriously. She finally nodded and looked at the young man in particular and said, "It seems that when you were a teenager, It is indeed not as delicate as him."
The young man snorted coldly, stood up and pretended to be angry.
The woman stood up with a coquettish smile, stepped forward and took one of the young man's arms, swaying and coquettishly saying, "Who told me to get to know you so early, and to be captured by you so early? Even now, even the whole world The most beautiful man is in front of me, and you are the only one in my eyes."
Xie Xiangcai's face was covered with black lines, and for no reason a fire of ignorant karma arose in his heart.
The young man had suffered a big disappointment in love not long ago, but now he saw a young man and woman making love to each other, so naturally he felt extremely unhappy and jealous.
Xie Xiangcai stood up with his hands on the ground, turned around, ignored the woman's words, and walked straight down the hillside.
For a moment, everything was silent.
Xie Xiangcai unconsciously stopped and turned around. On the top of the mountain, half of his sight was obscured by the slope, thousands of trees were blooming, and the fragrance of flowers was overflowing.
In the center, on the fruit tree that was more than ten feet high, the young man and the woman were leaning against each other, sitting on a thigh-thick branch.
The woman's long skirt was swaying in the wind, her legs were dangling in the air and swaying back and forth. Her cheeks were full of smiles. Her head was slightly tilted to the right, and she gently put it on the young man's shoulder. Suddenly, a gust of breeze came, and her hair reached her waist. Flying around, the young man's vision was blurred.
The young man held the woman's frail and slender waist, and looked towards the northern sky through the messy hair. His eyes were full of helplessness, unwillingness, and resentment.
The woman raised her head, her eyes misty, her red lips parted slightly, her voice trembling slightly, "Mingzhu, you said you would let me eat lychees for the rest of my life, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter."
The young man nodded heavily and looked around the vast hillside planted with lychee trees. His voice was extremely gentle, "Look, this is the lychee garden I planted for you. I will always wait here, waiting for my swordsmanship to be perfect and to be able to go to the palace to thoroughly study." The day I rescue you."
The boy couldn't hear what the two people on the tree were saying, but he just felt that this moment was extremely romantic. He didn't want to see this scene disappear, let alone see the two separated.
However, things went against expectations. Just as the man and woman embraced each other, two blasts of wind echoed from the northern sky.
Two figures in python robes lightly touched the cliff and landed in front of the lychee tree.
The young man let go of the woman in his arms and came under the lychee tree in a flash, his eyes almost splitting.
The two people who suddenly appeared were about in their early forties, wearing high crowns and floor-length robes, and there was a faint coldness in their eyebrows.
A figure in a python robe stepped forward, and the ground was cracked with fragrant grass. His voice was hoarse and high-pitched, which was extremely inconsistent with his body shape. "Hey, you two are really affectionate and tearful. It seems that our family came at an untimely time." Ah? Why don’t you, Fifth Young Master, continue? Lest the two of you can’t see each other in the future and forget the smell of each other?”
Xie Xiangcai, who was not far away, heard the words "Fifth Young Master" from the eunuch's mouth, his eyes changed slightly, and he looked at the young man in front of the lychee tree with some disbelief.
The Fifth Young Master raised his eyebrows and roared, "Green Bird, Red Swallow!!!"
Eunuch Hongyan, who was standing behind him, took a step forward and stood side by side with Qingque in front. He folded his sleeves with his hands and breathed secretly, "Fifth Young Master is a smart man. He must have known that the two of us are here to take the queen back to the palace. "
The Fifth Young Master stretched out an arm to protect Concubine Qin behind him, who had the palace sage so fascinated that she couldn't sleep at night without thinking about food or tea, "Delusion!"
Qing Que still had a smile on his face, "Fifth Young Master, the Immortal Immortal forced Long Yan to take the Queen out of the palace to meet you, which made Long Yan furious. The Holy Sage said that if the Queen is brought back to the palace within three days, He can forgive your master and disciple's sins regardless of past grudges, but if the deadline is missed..."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Hong Yan on the side looked around at the fruits in full bloom and exclaimed with some surprise, "Look at the lychee trees in the middle of the mountain. No wonder the queen likes to eat lychees. It turns out it's because of you, Fifth Young Master!"
The fifth young master's expression became increasingly gloomy.
Hongyan's laughter stopped abruptly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, "However, there is no land in the five continents of Daqing that is not owned by the Holy One. Do you think you can keep Concubine Qin with just a lychee garden? All it takes is the Holy One's word. By order, not to mention this lychee garden, even the entire Qingmeng City will be razed to the ground!"
The fifth young master's murderous aura surged, a flash of light flashed in his palm, and a long sword emerged.
The sword is three feet long. Although the blade is extremely thin, it can be broken by a blow and is extremely sharp.
This is the sword of the Fifth Young Master. It was made by Qingmeng City Sword Tomb. His real name is Fuhu.
However, many years ago, the Fifth Young Master did not hesitate to waste his own energy and violate the law of heaven. He carved a broken dragon head on it with rough gold stone and renamed the long sword Dragon Slayer.
He recited poems for the sword: He stepped into the air with great mastery of swordsmanship, and slew the yellow dragon in the deep palace with thousands of locks.
The true meaning of this is self-evident.
When Qingque and Hongyan saw the Fifth Young Master draw his sword, they both retreated, thus avoiding being affected by the sharp sword energy.
Hongyan sneered and said, "I have long heard that the Fifth Young Master's Fuhu Sword is extraordinary and peerless. Today, the two of us want to learn from it. We are both in the fifth realm. You are a pure swordsman and the two of us are pure martial arts." When we meet, who is tougher?"
The Fifth Young Master shouted loudly, "My sword's name is Dragon Slayer! It's meant to kill the only true dragon in your hearts!"
Qingque's eyes widened and he scolded sharply, "Murong Mingzhu! You are so disrespectful to the Holy One. Do you really think that I and I don't dare to kill you?"
Fifth Young Master Murong Mingzhu raised his long sword, sword energy surged, "If you want to kill or slash, just take action!"
After saying this, the clouds in the sky surged, and the auras rushing out from the bodies of the Fifth Young Master and Qingque Hongyan made the sky for dozens of miles around become completely empty.
This was the first time Xie Xiangcai saw someone using a sword.
He froze on the spot in a daze, looking at the fifth young master leaping into the air, his heart stopped for half a beat.
two
The Fifth Young Master tapped the lychee branch lightly with his feet, raised his body a foot higher, and swung his sword with murderous intent, "We are childhood sweethearts, made for each other, why should we be separated! His emperor has such power? There is no one in the world. Such truth!"
"Since you two bastards who are neither human nor ghosts, neither men nor women are seeking death, then I will kill you with one sword! I would like to see you two, who have just reached the top fifty on the capital's martial arts list. How could you, a waste in the early stages of the Fifth Realm, snatch Yan'er from my hands!"
After the words fell, the Fifth Young Master stretched out his free hand, pushed it out gently, and knocked the woman backward.
The woman stepped back and finally stopped in front of a boulder on the downhill road.
Xie Xiangcai's eyes were complicated. After clenching his fists, he stuck out his head and whispered to the woman, "Concubine Qin, come here!"
Concubine Qin, whose real name is Xie Qin, turned around in shock with red eyes. When she saw the young face next to the boulder, she was startled for a moment, and then she walked lightly to the young man's side.
Xie Xiangcai looked at the imminent battle situation over there from time to time, and asked in a deep voice, "Fifth Senior Brother, are you confident about dealing with those two eunuchs?"
When Xie Qin heard the young man's name, her red lips opened slightly, and she was a little surprised and said, "Are you... the new disciple of Senior Old Immortal?"
Xie Xiangcai nodded heavily, but his expression was still very serious, "Senior brother said that those two eunuchs are both fifth-level martial arts cultivators. Observing senior brother's aura, they are on par with them. Can they handle it?"
Xie Qin clenched his fists, "I have the strength of the three realms, but with my own strength, I can't completely pull out either Qingque or Hongyan. Mingzhu's swordsmanship is very good, but one against two, after all, he can't. Fully confident.”
The young man beside him pondered for a moment, then raised his head, feeling the aura fluctuations coming from not far away. He gritted his teeth, looked at Xie Qin and said, "Then if I join forces with the empress, can I hold one of them down?"
Xie Qin looked at Xie Xiangcai up and down with some surprise. For a moment, he was unable to detect his cultivation strength, so he asked, "Junior brother, your strength..."
Xie Xiang just learned that Xie Qin, a woman, was actually a step ahead of him in strength. He felt a little ashamed of himself, but he still had the courage to say with a slight blush on his cheeks, "I am now at the second level."
Xie Qin's face turned slightly pale. After pondering for a moment, he could only sigh and said, "Then let's stop at that. If it really doesn't work, we will think of other options."
The young man nodded heavily and looked at Xie Qin. Then the two of them tapped the ground with their feet and swept up the hillside.
Murong Mingzhu's long sword moved horizontally and vertically, and two rays of sword energy pierced the sky and flew towards the green bird and red swallow. Along the way, the sword energy turned from green to white, squeezing the air and making an extremely harsh sonic boom sound.
Wherever the sword energy went, the trees were full of blooming pale yellow flowers, breaking free from the shackles of the branches and flying all over the sky. However, the moment they fell down, they all turned into nothing.
The green bird and the red swallow tilted their heads and glanced at each other, then each stretched out their palms, one clenched into a fist, and the other bent into a claw. Their bones made a crisp sound, and two marks, one green and one red, flew out and rushed towards the sword. gas.
"boom--"
The dull explosion spread and swept across the top of the mountain. The lychee fruits hanging firmly on the branches burst open and fell on the grass, stained by dark yellow soil and became dirty.
"Let's go!"
Xie Qin gave a sweet shout and took the lead, nodding her branches and rushing towards Hong Yan who was separated from Qing Que.
Hongyan felt the fragrant wind blowing towards her, raised her brows slightly, and turned slightly to avoid Xie Qin's attack.
Immediately afterwards, a green-shirted figure was like a sharp arrow, attacking Hongyan's back. The young man clenched his fist so tightly that veins popped out, and the wind of the fist rubbed against the air, making a dull sound of "bang bang bang".
Hongyan's strength surpassed Xie Xiangcai's three realms, so she easily noticed the powerful punch that suddenly appeared behind her. She only moved slightly, then disappeared from the place like a ghost. When she reappeared, she was already behind the young man, with his sleeves cuffed. With one lift, all the strength in the young man's body was gone.
He slowly landed on the ground and looked at the young man who was struggling to get up with great interest. When he felt the faint aura in the other person's body, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "I guess you are the eighth son of Qingmeng City. You are young but very courageous. , do you know the gap between you and our family, so you dare to take action easily?"
Prime Minister Xie got up, dusted himself off, and cursed in a low voice, "Eunuch!"
Hongyan's smiling face suddenly froze, and her whole body suddenly became majestic. He said in a high-pitched voice, "Good boy! It seems that none of your Immortal Sect members are fuel-efficient lamps! Then don't blame us. There is no gentlemanly demeanor at home!”
Xie Xiangcai's eyes were solemn, but his words were still unforgiving, "A eunuch without roots is not a gentleman in the first place!"
The young man has a cheerful and outgoing personality. Even when he was struggling to practice boxing, he could always find fun in the house. He hung out with the children in the alleys and streets, and naturally took the "number one spot" with his fluent offensive skills.
No, just a few words made Eunuch Hongyan, who had a strong position in the palace, so angry that he burst into rage. "
Hongyan's palms bent into claws again, her body flashed, and in a blink of an eye, she appeared a few feet in front of Xie Xiangcai.
Xie Qin was shocked. He waved his sleeves and brought up the fragrant wind to block Xie Xiangcai's face.
Hong Yan's claws were already stretched out, but after seeing Xie Qin suddenly appeared, she immediately stopped the offensive. However, at this time, her energy was out and she could not restrain herself. She could only watch the strong wind moving towards Xie Qin's delicate body with a pale face. Sweep away.
Xie Xiangcai felt the oppressive wind in front of him, and looked at Xie Qin who was blocking him. Without thinking, he grabbed the other party's sleeve and pulled Xie Qin behind him.
"Bang——"
The strong wind fell heavily on Xie Xiangcai's chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards quickly, breaking a lychee tree not far away.
"puff--"
The young man's figure landed on the grass, and another mouthful of blood spurted out, making the grass red and eye-catching.
Xie Qin was shocked when he saw this. He ducked to Xie Xiangcai, took his arm and helped him up.
She stretched out a piece of spiritual consciousness and wandered around the boy's body.
Hongyan is a master of the fifth realm. Just a simple punch and palm are enough to cause damage to the internal organs of a fourth realm warrior. Xie Xiangcai is only in the second realm of stubborn stone. If he can bear this claw by force, I'm afraid The meridians are already severed!
However, after Xie Qin's consciousness traveled through the young man's body, he actually froze in place.
She could clearly feel that the original energy in Hongyan's body was actually trapped in a small area of the barrier condensed by the pure original energy in Xie Xiangcai's body, and was occasionally blown away by an aura of advanced age. Refining.
Xie Qin watched in shock as the blood on the corner of his mouth gradually dried up and the boy stood up with his support on the ground.
Xie Xiangcai took a deep breath, and the severe pain in his chest quietly disappeared.
The young man touched his chest and once again thanked his deceased ancestor in his heart.
When he was young, no matter how injured or sick he was, he would heal quickly in a short period of time. Originally, he thought it was just because of his strong body, but now it seems that all this is because of his ancestor. Every time when practicing boxing, the original force is sent into one's body.
Hong Yan looked at the young man who stood up in disbelief, and exclaimed in surprise. He originally thought that the Immortal Immortal was old and dim, so he accepted this useless disciple who was only in the second realm. But now it seems that this young man is not simple. After exerting 80% of his strength, he was still safe.
Murong Mingzhu, who was fighting fiercely with Qingque on the side, felt the same on the other side of the battle circle. He used his whole body's natural strength to swing out a sword shadow, knocking Qingque away, and quickly landed in front of Xie Xiangcai and Xie Qin.
He first looked Xie Qin up and down, and then turned his attention to Xie Xiangcai. After learning that it was the young man who carried Xie Qin's hand, he was very grateful and said, "Little brother, I, Murong Mingzhu, thank you very much!"
Xie Xiangcai smiled and waved his hand, "Fifth Senior Brother, you're welcome!"
Murong Mingzhu's expression froze, and she looked at the young man again, her eyes instantly brightened.
He finally understood why he felt so familiar to the young man when he first saw him.
It turns out that the young man’s appearance is exactly the same as the senior brother’s portrait of his junior brother!
However, Murong Mingzhu knew that now was not the time to reminisce with her junior brother, so she hurriedly protected him and Xie Qin behind her, raised her long sword, and looked alertly at the two men, Qingque and Hongyan, who were watching eagerly from the side.
Xie Xiangcai took a step forward and stood side by side with Murong Mingzhu.
Murong Mingzhu turned her head and glanced at her junior brother, then said no more.
He knew in his heart that Master would not accept a coward!
Murong Mingzhu knew better that the young man was far from being as simple as he seemed, otherwise he would not be able to be so lively and vigorous after taking Hong Yan's blow.
"Okay, okay, let's see how powerful you brothers are when you join forces!"
Qing Que sneered, clenched his palms into fists, and his momentum soared into the sky, causing the situation to change color.
Xie Qin's eyes moved slightly, and he stepped forward, standing side by side with Xie Xiangcai and Murong Mingzhu.
Her sleeves fluttered, bursts of floral fragrance filled the air, and then pale yellow flowers flew all over the sky.
"Count me in. I've long been unhappy with these two slaves."
