Nanjiang Tianshui Inn
A pale, cold moon filled the sky with scattered stars. In the sky. The faint white mist coldly explains the people who are sinking into the world. The moonlight was even more dyed with the morning glow. The long night came to an end from the sky, passing away like an ebbing tide, turning into a bit of eternity in the long river of memory. What do you think of when you are sleeping? Is it an unforgettable love or a childhood playmate? When you think you are alone, there is someone waiting without regrets.
On an endless stretch of grass, Lu Xueqi, dressed in flowing white clothes, was standing there. She looked around and wondered why she was here. At this time, a call "Xue Qi" came from not far away. She then looked around to find who was calling her, and another call came from "Xue Qi".
She heard the sound coming from behind. She looked back and saw Zhang Xiaofan standing there waving to her. She ran towards Zhang Xiaofan with joy. Just as she was approaching, a ray of light came from Zhang Xiaofan's chest. Through it, "Ah..." Lu Xueqi woke up suddenly, the moonlight filtered through the thin screen window. It showed that she was sweating profusely. She immediately looked at Zhang Xiaofan beside her and saw that he was still sleeping peacefully. It was just a nightmare, and she asked herself this in her heart. In the long dark night, apart from the faint moonlight, there was only the faint sound of wind blowing into the distance.
Southern Xinjiang Ancient Road
The night was deep, the clouds were thick, and a little moonlight was faintly exposed. The surrounding mountains and fields were silent, except for a few insects chirping from time to time in the woods not far away. There were a few vague shadows flickering on the ancient avenue, and some words floated from a distance: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" "Ouch, I can't walk anymore, I'm so exhausted." "Old man, what are you doing? What are you yelling about? It's not all because of you, we won't be here, why are you making such a fuss." As they gradually approached, they turned out to be Yiyi Xian, Xiaohuan, Jin Ping'er, and Wild Dog Taoist.
Immortal Zhou Yi was still holding the bamboo pole in his hand, with the small flag that read "Immortal Guiding the Way" hanging on it, blowing in the wind, which looked a bit strange in this late night. At this moment, his face was bitter and angry, and he was muttering something in a low voice. He seemed to be a little afraid of the person who had just refuted him, and he did not dare to say anything more, but he sat down on a stone next to the avenue. , don’t want to leave anymore.
Jin Ping'er was dressed in goose-yellow clothes and had a charming face. She was frowning. Just when she was about to say something, Xiaohuan took her hand and looked at her with a slightly apologetic look. She shook her head. Jin Ping'er Er looked at her, smiled, turned around and glared at Zhou Xian, said "hum", and walked to the side and sat down.
Xiao Huan looked around. The surrounding fields were vast and pitch black, and a gust of cold wind blew, making people feel chilly. At that moment, he walked up to Zhou Yixian and asked softly: "Grandpa, are you okay?" Zhou Yixian was annoyed, and glanced at Jin Ping'er who was standing aside and staring at him, and muttered angrily: "Huh, it's okay. "What can I do? I'm just a little tired and want to rest for a while before leaving."
Xiaohuan smiled and said no more. At this time, Taoist Wild Dog walked up behind her, handed over a bag of dry food, and said: "Here, you can eat some." Xiaohuan nodded to him gratefully, reached out to take it, and smiled slightly: "Taoist Master, thank you. You, you should rest for a while before leaving. Anyway, I don’t know how far we have to go to find a small town." On Taoist Wild Dog’s strange face, a pair of eyes blinked and he grinned.
Zhou Yixian said angrily: "Even if there is a small town, I'm afraid it will be empty due to people leaving. Haven't you heard that people are being arrested everywhere in Fenxiang Valley? People here are either being arrested or running away in fear." ." Xiaohuan asked: "But why did they do this?" Yiyi Xian replied: "How did I know this? You really think your grandfather is an immortal and knows everything."
Xiaohuan turned to Jin Ping'er and said: "Sister, you are hungry too, please have something to eat." Yiyi Xian snorted, and said loudly and forgivingly: "It's unreasonable, the world is declining, and the current situation is People don't know how to respect their elders..." Xiaohuan handed a piece of big cake to Yiyi Xian, interrupted him and said, "Then, isn't this for you." After that, Yiyi Xian smiled awkwardly and stopped talking. , took the sesame seed cake, lowered his head and started eating.
Jin Ping'er walked over with a cold expression on her face: "Humph, we finally found an inn before. Wouldn't it be great if we stayed here? But you are not willing to pay for it, so we have to rush on the dark day. You have the nerve to complain." Zhou Xian didn't seem to hear, but still lowered his head and ate his cake. Xiaohuan looked at him, shook his head, gently took Jin Ping'er's hand, and whispered: "I'm sorry, sister, I made you suffer." Jin Ping'er looked at her, with a beautiful smile on his face, and said: " Silly sister, I just don’t like your grandfather and just said a few words to him. Come on, let’s go over here to eat.” After that, he took Xiaohuan’s hand and walked aside.
Suddenly, there was a slight whooshing sound in the forest. Jin Ping'er's expression changed slightly and he shouted: "Who is it?" Xiaohuan was startled. Yiyi Xian quickly stood up and looked around, only to see darkness all around and no one in sight. . Taoist Wild Dog had already flashed to Xiaohuan's side at this time, with a serious look on his face and a protective posture.
It was quiet everywhere, and there was no movement. Jin Ping'er looked solemn, with a hint of killing intent on her face, and a light purple light appeared on her clothes. She glanced forward, then turned back to Xiaohuan and said: "Sister, let me go and take a look. , be careful, and bark loudly if something happens." Then he looked at the wild dog Taoist: "Wild dogs, please protect them." After that, he was about to fly into the air.
Suddenly there was a soft sound, accompanied by the sound of footsteps. When I turned around, I saw an old woman in tattered clothes staggering towards them. With a sound of "Oops", the old woman fell down. Xiaohuan and Jin Ping'er hurried forward. Helping her up, Jin Ping'er said: "Old lady, are you okay?" The old lady said in a weak voice: "Please, give me something to eat." Upon hearing this, Xiaohuan quickly put the hand in her hand gave her the cake.
After receiving the cake, the old lady ate it voraciously. In less than a moment, one big cake was finished. Xiaohuan asked: "Old lady, what happened?" Ring everyone. It turned out that the old woman fled the village with her husband to avoid being captured by Fenxiang Valley. Unexpectedly, they were robbed by bandits on the road. Unfortunately, her husband was killed, and she was thrown down the hillside by the bandits.
After hearing this, Xiaohuan showed an angry expression on his face and said: "These bandits are so inhumane." Jin Ping'er also said at the side: "That is, if I see them, I will definitely cut them into pieces. "Xiaohuan seemed to have thought of something, and ran to Yiyi Xian and said: "Grandpa, give me some money." After hearing this, Yiyi Xian immediately covered his bag and said, "What are you doing here?" "I saw the old lady. It's so miserable. I just want to give her some money." "I want to give it to you myself, but I'm not that generous." Zhou Yixian said.
"Grandpa..." Yiyi Xian still ignored her. At this time, Jin Ping'er also came over and said: "Old man, will you give it to me? If you don't give it to me..." As he spoke, the hand on his hand A purple light lit up. When Yi Xian saw it, he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'll give it, I'll give it." He took out a few ingots of silver from the bag and gave them to Xiaohuan. After getting it, Xiaohuan gave it to the old woman and said, "Grandma, there is some money here, take it and use it."
"Thank you, little girl." The old woman cried after receiving the money. Watching the old lady slowly leave, Jin Ping'er sighed: "Another innocent person was harmed by Fenxiang Valley." Zhou Yixian shouted at this time: "The most innocent person should be me, the good guy lost dozens of taels of silver. ." Xiao Huan and Jin Ping'er looked at Zhou Xian's distressed look, looked at each other, and shook their heads with a wry smile.
