The sun was bright, shining in the forest, casting dazzling lines of light and shadow.
Xu Feng looked at Liu Ruyan and Luo Xiangxue in front of him, and his mind was filled with thoughts. The first time he saw this girl was half a month ago, when he and Liu Ruyan settled Shangguan Hongqin, Leng Yuemenghua and others in Xianren Residence. After getting drunk at Daxian Inn, the two of them galloped all the way to Jianmen Pass to look for Lei Zhentian. By chance, he met Luo Xiangxue unexpectedly on the remote mountain road leading to Jianmen Pass.
That was the first time he saw this beautiful and determined girl, and he felt that beneath her soft appearance, she had a strong and courageous heart. He had a good impression of this girl, but he had never heard Liu Ruyan talk about knowing such a girl! Little did they know, these two people turned out to be old acquaintances.
When Luo Xiangxue insisted on following Liu Ruyan all the way west, she encountered many dangers and twists and turns on the way. Luo Xiangxue often showed care for Liu Ruyan intentionally or unintentionally. She always looked at Liu Ruyan's affectionate eyes. , let Xu Feng see it in his eyes, and he was already touched in his heart: It is obvious that this girl is attracted to Liu Ruyan! Because of this, she was not afraid of the dangers on the road and followed Liu Ruyan around without hesitation.
However, looking at Liu Ruyan's infatuated affection for Luo Xiangxue, she seemed to be aloof and never responded openly and directly. He couldn't see clearly what Liu Ruyan was thinking, but there was no doubt that he had a good impression of this Miss Luo, at least he didn't dislike her! Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to agree to such a woman to follow him.
Just now, Master Wuxiang suddenly talked about his past interactions with Nanshan layman Chu Yunfei, which shocked Liu Ruyan. He never thought that his master had a relationship with such a strange and kind eminent monk in front of him.
What kind of past will this be? At this moment, he had no intention of asking more questions. All he could think about was to find a way to find the master as soon as possible.
At present, Lei Zhentian's internal injuries are no longer serious under Master Wuyin's careful treatment, and he looks much better. After experiencing the unprovoked disturbance by the mysterious weirdo in red, everyone felt uneasy. Fortunately, Master Wuxiang rescued them in time, and their anxious hearts gradually relaxed.
Luo Xiangxue looked at Liu Ruyan and suddenly asked: "Brother Liu, what were you doing chasing into the woods just now?"
Liu Ruyan looked at the forest and said slowly: "I wanted to see if that weird man was hiding not far away. I just saw him coming out of the forest. I think he must be living in it." He frowned. Lock, seems to be thinking about something.
Everyone also looked over there. At this moment, the forest was extremely quiet. Apart from the rustle of the mountain wind, no other sounds could be heard.
Lei Zhentian suddenly said: "Without further delay, let's get on the road as soon as possible! There are still hundreds of miles away from the outside of the pass. Even if we hurry up, we will have to run for five or six days."
Xu Feng nodded and said thoughtfully: "But your internal injuries?"
Lei Zhentian waved his hand and said with a smile: "My injury is no longer a problem. Don't worry, this injury can't do anything to me. Now it's important to find Brother Chu. Only by finding Brother Chu can we unlock the secret." "
Master Wuxiang looked at everyone, smiled, clasped his hands together, and said quietly: "What comes comes, what goes comes, all reasons are cause and effect! I wanted to leave you all to rest for a while, but you have important things to do, so then I won’t stay any longer. It’s just that this Hell Gate has always been mysterious and erratic, so it’s not easy to find them!” He raised his Zen staff and turned to look calmly into the depths of the forest.
Xu Feng sighed and said to Master Wuxiang: "Thank you for your advice, Master! No matter what, we have to find him! It's getting late, I'll say goodbye now! See you soon, Masters!"
Wuxiang and Wuyin clasped their hands together and loudly shouted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, please take care of yourself!"
Everyone packed up their belongings, said goodbye to the two monks, and strode towards the back of the wing where the horses were tied.
After walking out of the corridor, walking through a tree-lined avenue, and walking dozens of meters, they came to the big tree where the horses were tied last night. The horses were pacing leisurely and flicking their tails. When they saw someone coming, the horses made a low neighing sound.
When we arrived here last night, Lu Xiangnan had already grabbed some grass in the forest to feed the foal. The horse did not make any noise even after it was full. It stayed in the forest obediently for a night. When it saw its owner coming, it swung happily. The pony tail seems to have smelled the scent of its owner. The pony is very spiritual. Foals that have been carefully tamed can recognize their owners through their scent no matter how long they have been gone.
Everyone strode to the colt. Luo Xiangxue reached out and stroked the horse's mane. She looked into the colt's eyes with pity and said quietly: "Good colt, it's hard for you to follow us for such a long way. I hope I can Find Uncle Chu as soon as possible, and you should have a good rest by then!" She muttered to the horse, and everyone felt it was new. They didn't expect that this girl had such an innocent and lovely side. Liu Ruyan watched quietly from the side. She suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. His originally uneasy heart seemed to be fiddled with by something, and he suddenly felt warm and calm.
Liu Ruyan said thoughtfully: "It's getting late, let's get on the road as soon as possible." He suddenly turned to the south of the road and asked, "Master Lu, I heard you say yesterday that there is a lake not far ahead. Are we going to do it?" Do you want to branch off at the lake?"
Lu Xiangnan smiled faintly and said quietly: "There is always a banquet in the world, and we have to say goodbye eventually. Yes, there is Xiangshui Beach five miles ahead. I will go to Dongting in Xiangxi to cross the lake and go all the way south. You guys can Go all the way west along the lake, go to Gansu, and then take the road from Gansu into Xinjiang, and that’s beyond the Great Wall!" He imagined the route everyone was taking, and it seemed to be the only way to enter the border fortress.
Xu Feng frowned, thinking slowly and said: "Lu Zhuangshi is right, we will be separated soon. You must be extremely careful when you are traveling alone. You have to take care of these things. If we are destined to get together someday, we will be together again." Get together!"
Lu Xiangnan looked solemn and somewhat sad, and said with a smile: "Xu Daxia, the road to the border mountain is high and dangerous, so you should take care of yourself. I think we will get together one day!"
Everyone led the horses, got on their horses, and galloped towards the mountain path.
In the blink of an eye, we ran for several miles, and the ancient temple was far behind.
After crossing the jungle, the group of people rushed to the Xiangshui Beach under the green mountains and green trees. The view suddenly broadened, and the lake with thousands of turquoise waves appeared in front of them. From a distance, it looked like a beautiful piece of green jade.
The sun is shining high, the breeze is refreshing, and the sun shines on the lake, creating brilliant golden waves, creating a dreamlike lake and mountain scenery.
With such beautiful scenery appearing in front of us, everyone's emotions suddenly rose again.
Everyone stopped by the lake and reined in their horses. Xu Feng looked at the sparkling lake under the bright sun for a long time, then turned to Lu Xiangnan and said: "Master Lu, let's say goodbye. If you see Ma Xiaoyun, please be sure to Tell him that Brother Xu and the brothers in Hongqinju miss him very much, and we are all waiting for his return!"
Lu Xiangnan clasped his fists towards Xu Feng, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master Xu, I will bring your words to him! You must be careful when you get outside the Great Wall. I heard that the Hell Gate is weird and cruel, don't let them get hurt. Tao. After seeing you for thousands of miles, we must say goodbye. Today we will say goodbye. If we are destined to meet again someday, we will get together to drink and sing!"
Parting is just around the corner, and everyone feels desolate in their hearts. In addition, the future is uncertain, and they don't know what will be waiting for them?
Liu Ruyan and Luo Xiangxue looked at each other, and both clasped their fists towards Lu Xiangnan and saluted. Liu Ruyan said: "Strong Lu, thank you for helping us find Uncle Lei. We don't know when we will see each other again after we say goodbye today. You must take care of yourself!" If you have free time in the future, welcome to Zhongnan Mountain as a guest!"
Lu Xiangnan also clasped his fists in return and said with a smile: "Young Master Liu is so polite! It's my honor, Lu, to get to know you all. I must find a way to find Senior Chu!"
