Zhong Xia stuck out her tongue and said mischievously: "Sister, I remember when you were talking to your brother and me in Hanxiang City, you were not as orderly as you are now."
Xianxian sighed, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes, and said: "People are inherently multi-faceted, and my sister also has people she cares about in her heart, but she is not a saint. When she is worried, she will naturally become emotional, so when talking to Mr. Yu, Naturally, there will be some stumbling, but it’s just something from the bottom of my heart.”
"Oh" Zhong Xia nodded softly and thought: "The person that Sister Xianxian loves must be the Young Master Yuan Taixuan. Although the Young Master is a bit domineering, he is also an extremely handsome man."
The sky is gradually getting dark, and this small deserted city, for some unknown reason, seems to be boundless and will never end.
A gallery painted white and gray is hidden among the withered yellow flowers. A few red bricks are exposed on the dilapidated courtyard wall. The bluestones paved on the ground have some complicated patterns drawn by the years, and they are like pools. The water stains that have not yet dried up reflect layers of cold silver light under the cold moonlight.
In the lean and silent night, the wails of partridges could be heard from time to time. In the quiet early winter, the light wind swept away, and the snowflakes in the sky fluttered and scattered in every corner of the deserted city, and the few pools of water stains gradually covered the city. Topped with a thin layer of light ice.
Yu Zun looked at the rather unruly brick and stone courtyard standing in the cold night. Among the huge cities, this courtyard was the only one that gave people a sense of isolation and independence. Yu Zun concluded that this must not be an illusion.
At midnight, the sky was covered with stars. The dazzling stars were like densely packed black and white pieces on a chessboard. Yu Zun stared blankly at the horizon. Unexpectedly, there were a few lines of tears on his face, "Qier, you How are you doing up there?"
The strong wind is like a sob, and the white dew is like a teardrop.
The sky is playing the game, and I am a pawn, but I am not willing to give in, I am not willing to give in!
In the hazy field of vision, there is only a patch of skylight, the brightly lit streets, the bustling flow of people, expressionless and lifeless like walking stone sculptures, the red lanterns hanging on the pier, slowly and suddenly. The strong wind rose and fell, and the flames flickered.
Su Qiu sat cross-legged on the river beach, closed her eyes slightly, adjusted her breath and meditated. This deserted city is very strange. Although the profound energy is extremely thin, everyone's martial arts are still rising continuously. This feeling seems to be that everyone's life has been designed.
Zhongxia drooped her eyelids and yawned. She looked at Yu Zun faintly and saw that he looked sad. She knew in her heart what he was thinking. She wanted to go to comfort him, but her legs felt like they were weighed down by hundreds of kilograms. It's like a weight, but I can't take a step forward.
Xianxian raised his head and stared at the sky, letting out a long sigh. There were some complex emotions entangled in his clear eyes, but he could not explain them clearly.
In the early morning of the next day, as the sky broke, Yu Zun was sitting cross-legged on the ground. Next to him, there was a black iron scimitar shining with light blue light. The scimitar rose and fell, constantly rotating around Yu Zun's body. .
He suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the gallery, and thought: "Is my judgment wrong? But since childhood, that breath seems to have been hiding there, and he seems to be able to feel my Breath, that’s why I easily escape every time I focus my consciousness!”
"But that breath also has a sense of connecting the heaven and the earth. Is it my imagination? Is it really the breath of heaven and earth?" He glanced at Su Qiu lightly, "But I don't know if Senior Su Qiu noticed that breath. , but if I ask Senior Su Qiu at this time, wouldn’t I expose myself? It seems that I can only take one step at a time!"
Su Qiu patted Yu Zun's arm and said calmly: "Come with me." After saying that, she flicked her legs and jumped up to the ridge of the roof as lightly as a swallow.
Su Qiu pointed to the thick gray fog in the distance and said, "Did you see it? It's right there. Every time I go there, I can't go any further. Then there will be a man wrapped in spells. The devil, but even if you defeat that devil, weirder things will happen one after another, so you need to be prepared. I almost lost my life there a few days ago."
Yu Zun narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded lightly.
After a while, Su Qiu said: "In that case, let's continue on our way."
Yu Zun shook his head lightly and said faintly: "Senior, please treat me like Zun for a moment."
"Oh?" Su Qiu looked at Yu Zun in surprise. He was sitting cross-legged on the ridge of the roof, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was comprehending something. Su Qiu looked thoughtfully in the direction Yu Zun was facing, frowned, and thought, "Did this young man discover something?"
After a while, Yu Zun jumped off the roof and said with a faint smile: "Senior, we can probably get through that thick fog."
"Oh? Do you already have a magic method in your mind?" Su Qiu looked at the young man with a green face in disbelief and said.
"Senior will understand when he arrives." Yu Zun smiled secretly.
"In that case, I'll hurry up and hurry up. The depths of these streets are no longer as peaceful and peaceful as they are now," Su Qiu said with a solemn expression.
Yu Zun nodded, looked back at Zhongxia and Xianxian, and said: "You two are sandwiched between me and senior, so that senior and I can protect you."
Xianxian nodded lightly. Although she was also a martial artist and her cultivation level was not low, what happened on the top of Lingmao Mountain had already explained the problem.
Regardless of the enigmatic Su Qiu, Yu Zun's martial arts is a black hole with no end at a glance. Among the people in the list, even Su Qiu can't see through his cultivation. The secret in him is too great. There are too many, too many uncontrollable forces, so he may be more profound than Su Qiu.
And even the lively and bright girl next to her is not as clear and transparent as what she sees in front of her. Although she is proficient in music and now has two handed down piano books, she is still unable to compete with the numbers hidden in the dark. Endless crises.
Looking at Zhongxia again, although she was a little reluctant, she was sandwiched between Su Qiu and Yu Zun. She leaned closer to Yu Zun. Because Yu Zun lost his temper that day, she seemed a little unnatural. .
This dilapidated city was built around mountains, so the terrain of the city was high and low, with uneven terrain. Several streams from the mighty Yangtze River were drawn from the clear valleys, and villages in the city were built against the mountains. , sparsely dotted at the foot of the mountain, the thick piles of wheat straw are covered with layers of lonely cold snow, and in the middle are several fighting roosters.
Zhong Xia clicked his tongue and said in wonder: "Brother, you see there is still some wheat straw in this city, which makes me miss Qingshi Town a little bit."
Yu Zun was startled, looking at the beautiful and clear girl next to him, he couldn't help but have a hint of regret in his eyes, but he also said: "Those days when I lived in Qingshi Town were also the happiest days for Yu Zun "
Zhong Xia stared blankly at Yu Zun. She had also felt something just now, but she had also forgotten some of the unpleasantness that had happened with her tough brother a few days ago. Now that the young man has changed from the past haze, it really makes her feel deep in her heart. There was a touch of warmth, so there was a warm smile on the delicate little face.
Yu Zun frowned and looked at a group of old women hunched over and beating clothes by the stream. Su Qiu, Zhongxia and Xianxian were also watching quietly. They seemed to be a group of women and children embedded in the painting. The children who were laughing and playing were just like the women, with a lifeless and tired look on their faces, as if they had never woken up and were lifeless.
"Huh? This old willow looks familiar," Zhong Xia pointed to an old willow at the entrance of the village and murmured.
Yu Zun followed Zhong Xia's hand and looked towards it, but he felt it looked familiar. He thought for a moment and was startled. He turned to Zhong Xia and said, "Do you still remember the withered willow tree on the top of Lingmeng Mountain?"
Zhong Xia frowned and suddenly said: "Yes, brother, it is indeed that old willow tree. How did it appear here?"
Since he walked out of the Imperial Prison, he has seen this old willow tree more than once, but for some unknown reason, this old willow tree seems to be following him like a servant. No matter where he goes, he will look at it. It was this old willow tree that made him feel a little wary.
"I have indeed seen this withered willow tree in a ruins on the top of Lingmao Mountain. It is indeed the same as it," Xianxian added.
"Brother, do you suspect that this old willow tree is deceitful?" Zhongxia frowned slightly and said quietly.
Yu Zun took a deep breath, laughed suddenly, and said, "Maybe we are too vigilant. There are dead willows everywhere, but they look so ordinary. Who can remember how clear they are!"
Zhong Xia nodded and agreed: "What my brother said is indeed true. We are indeed very tired along the way. Who can remember clearly an ordinary withered willow!"
Su Qiu glanced at Zhong Xia secretly, her flowing eyes shone with a faint brilliance, but she didn't know what he was thinking.
Yu Zunfang was about to look away from Lao Liu, but he saw a young man looking at him with a smile, and he was suddenly startled in his heart.
This young man actually...
However, when he came to his senses, the young man who had just been standing next to Lao Liu had disappeared.
Yu Zun stared blankly at the old willow tree and murmured: "Did I just make a mistake?", "Or is there someone else who also sneaked into this deserted city?"
Yu Zun pointed to the withered willow and said, "Zhongxia, did you just see a young man standing by that old willow?"
Zhong Xia shook his head and asked doubtfully: "That old willow tree has been standing there all alone. Where did this young man come from?"
Yu Zun's heart froze, and he glanced at Xianxian again. Xianxian immediately denied it and said: "Master Yu, when you talk about the old willow, Xianxian has always kept his sight on the old willow, but he also No boy found”
Su Qiu also immediately denied it and said: "Hunter, are you too nervous? There are a bunch of tombs behind Lao Liu, where did this young man come from? Could it be that you have seen a ghost?"
Yu Zun rubbed his eyes and took a closer look behind Old Liu. There were indeed raised mounds of earth, but he didn't know whether they were tombs or something hidden.
"Is it true that I made a mistake? If so, that would be the best." Yu Zun thought to himself. Although he thought so, he was just comforting himself. After all, since entering the prison world, by coincidence, Things are indeed rare, and coincidences have become a fact, but they can be seen everywhere.
He shook his head helplessly and said: "It seems that if we don't bypass the village in front, we will definitely not be able to move forward even half a step."
This long-abandoned city has rarely been visited by outsiders. Just as Su Qiu said, since he entered Yuncheng, no new people have entered the city, and Yu Zun just looked at it. The young man I saw was indeed very different from the lifeless common people. There was a sparkle in his eyes, and the look was so profound, it was indeed the kind of feeling that could not be seen through at a glance.
A few people were walking on a low stone bridge. Yu Zun suddenly grabbed a commoner who passed by him. Seeing this, Su Qiu was shocked and said: "What are you doing!"
Yu Zun swept down Su Qiu's arm with a smile, turned to the commoner with dull eyes, and said, "Brother, can you help me with the next thing?"
"Young master, if you have anything to do, it's okay to say it." The people were very kind. Although their eyes were dull, their expressions were no different from ordinary people.
"It's nothing troublesome. I'd like to ask, brother, besides me, have you seen anyone entering this city?" Yu Zun said politely.
