Chapter 8 Struggle

In the early morning, when the sky was bright, there were dark clouds in the sky around Qingyun Mountain, and raindrops soon fell. The rain increased from childhood, and soon the sky and the earth became gray. The sound of rain was everywhere, covering the towering mountains in a mist of water, which seemed hazy and mysterious.

The sound of the rain with green bamboo leaves seems to have not changed for thousands of years, and it is always lonely on Qingyun Mountain. From the extension to the top of the eaves and tiles with moss because of their age, the beads of water turned into a water curtain from the ticking. The wisps fell like pearls and fell on the floor paved with bluestone, splashing water particles like pearl debris.

There is wind in the rain, blowing in the rain, with a faint moisture and rain powder, wandering between the window sill, as if thinking about something.

Lu Xueqi looked at the misty rain and mountains outside the window in front of the window. In such a cold time, it seemed that only the sound of rain hitting bamboo leaves in the distance echoed in the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth.

When the breeze passed, the dark hair on her temples fluttered gently, and the rain powder brushed her face, as if a burst of cold into her skin. She gently squeezed her lips and held the window sill with her hand. The sound of rain sounded like far and near, but in the end it seemed to fall into her deep heart.

I just don't know if there are any ripples?

The footsteps sounded outside the house, and someone knocked gently on the door. Lu Xueqi looked back silently and quietly recovered from the misty rain. She walked over and opened the door. Outside the door was her senior sister Wen Min.

Lu Xueqi smiled faintly at the corners of her mouth and said, "Sister."

Wen Min looked at her slightly haggard face, frowned and walked in. Lu Xueqi immediately closed the door, and the two sat down in the simple room. Wen Min looked at the bed first, but saw that the bedding on the bed was neat. He sighed and said, "Didn't you sleep last night?"

Lu Xueqi said quietly, "I can't sleep."

Wen Min looked at Lu Xueqi and felt a little tingling in her heart. She entered the door of Xiaozhufeng earlier than Lu Xueqi. She has always been good friends. With Lu Xueqi's tall and arrogant personality, in addition to her teacher Shuiyue, only Wen Min is the best friend to her and can say a few words. Recently, Lu Xueqi has been in constant trouble. Wen Min was also quite anxious when she looked aside. However, although she was anxious, she still had nothing to do, so she had to watch the more and more stall between Lu Xueqi and her master and the elders of Qingyunmen.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Wen Min didn't know what to say. After a while, Lu Xueqi whispered, "Sister, this time for my business, I really can't help you."

Wen Min was stunned and said, "What?"

Lu Xueqi said, "I heard that Uncle Tian and Uncle Su Ru of Dazhufeng came to propose marriage in person with Brother Song Dayen, but Master refused face to face and had a big quarrel with Uncle Tian."

Wen Min smiled bitterly, and there was a little bitterness in her smile. She slowly shook her head and said, "Well... Well, that's nothing. Besides, it's none of your business. I have no fate with him, and we all know that Master has always hated Dazhufeng's people."

Lu Xueqi shook her head silently and said, "No, that day was the time when I contradicted the master and angered her, so I even involved you. Otherwise, Uncle Su Ru would be beside me, and Uncle Tian would be willing to give such a big face to propose marriage in person. Most of your things could be done. But...Sister, I'm really sorry!"

Wen Min smiled, took a deep breath and said, "Well, don't blame yourself here. Isn't it good for me? And the master is just angry for a while, and there may not be no chance in the future." Speaking of this, she glanced at Lu Xueqi and said, "Don't talk about me, but you, what are you going to do? You can't keep deadlocked with your master like this, can you?"

Lu Xueqi's face turned pale and she was speechless.

Wen Min meditated for a long time and said, "Sister, I know a little about your thoughts, but it's never a way for you to go on like this. Zhang... That man has finally entered the devil's way and was rejected by the right way in the world, and took a step back. You go to the southwest this time, in You..."

Wen Min suddenly stopped and stopped talking, because at this moment, Lu Xueqi's face seemed to lose her blood color in an instant, and even her clear eyes seemed to be engraved with deep pain.

I was silent for a long time in the middle of the room, and the rain outside the window was so silent.

Finally, Wen Min still whispered, "I'm afraid he's really no longer alive. With your persistence, you will only suffer by yourself."

Lu Xueqi's face was pale and she didn't say anything. She slowly stood up and went to the window sill and stared out. The mountain of rain and fog was lingering, like a dream. Even the rain powder and water dripping with the wind at this moment seemed to have a trace of unreal feeling in the cold.

"I know..." This cold and beautiful woman said gently in this misty rain, "He may have really left. Sometimes I have thought about it. In fact, for him, this is not a relief. I also know that there is nothing wrong with Master scolding me. It's all wrong with me. It's that I shouldn't be delusional. It's that I shouldn't... I shouldn't..."

Her voice suddenly choked a little. Wen Min stood up and was about to comfort her. Unexpectedly, Lu Xueqi suddenly turned around and her white clothes fluttered in the rotation, like a lonely cloud.

There seemed to be drops of water in the corners of her eyes, crystal clear and clear, with a trace of sadness that she had never seen before. She said, "Sister, I know, but I just can't let it go. Even if I cut this love thousands of times, I can't escape after all. After I came back from the southwest, I don't know how many times I told myself. He died, he died, and everything was over. However, every night after I fall asleep, I dream of the miserable situation in the Viper Valley, and I dream of being demond by beast..."

Lu Xueqi suddenly stopped. She looked so excited that Wen Min was a little worried, but Lu Xueqi soon calmed down. Only in her eyes, there was still a bit of sadness: "Then, I woke up in a cold sweat, like being in an ice cellar!"

She looked at Wen Min silently, and then her expression gradually became fragile, as if her body began to tremble slightly. She said, "Sister, what's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?" She suddenly rushed into Wenmin's arms. Wenmin put her arms around her shoulder and felt that her thin body was shaking slightly. Her low voice came to her ear.

"Senior sister, I can't stand it. I really can't stand it..."

Wen Min was speechless and hugged Lu Xueqi, who had never been so fragile. This once high and arrogant cold woman, now seems to be the saddest person in the world.

......

Silent silence covered everything again. The rain outside the window was rushing, and there seemed to be a low choking sound in the wind. Outside the hut, on the edge of the bamboo forest, Master Shuiyue stood silently, holding a green umbrella in his hand, and staring at the room in the wind and rain.

Then, she slowly turned around and disappeared into the bamboo forest.

Between heaven and earth, the wind and rain are bleak, which is a desolate time.

It usually rains in Heyang City. Zhou Yixian, Xiaohuan and the wild dog Taoist walked out of another remote alley and merged into the crowded street. After trying to walk a few steps, they retreated to the roadside to stand. On the one hand, there were too many people to walk, and on the other hand, they first to avoid the rain and discussed it.

The three of them have been divided into two factions. Xiaohuan insisted on returning to the Yinzhai in Yizhuang again, but Zhou Yixian refused to do so in any case. This time, the wild dog Taoist supported Zhou Yixian for the first time.

Xiaohuan is weak, but she speaks dexterous, and one person argues with two people. In addition, although the wild dog Taoist has a different opinion from her this time, she is often stared at by Xiaohuan and can't speak, so most of the time only Zhou Yixian opposes.

At this moment, the three of them stood by the roadside. Zhou Xian said in a low voice, "You silly girl, what do you want to do in such a dangerous place? Go back to die?"

Xiaohuan curled his lips and said, "Thank you for living such a long time, Grandpa, do you know that there is something called morality?"

Zhou Xian said angrily, "Doing? What a moral bullshit! What morality do you say when you die? That guy like a ghost is so tight. Aren't we going back to die?

The wild dog Taoist nodded and said, "Yes, it's really inappropriate to go back..."

Xiaohuan's eyes came and gave him a blank look. The wild dog jumped in the heart of the Taoist's heart, and he couldn't go on.

Xiaohuan looked back at Zhou Yixian and said, "Grandpa, if someone hadn't saved us last night, we would have died long ago, and we wouldn't have stood here arguing about morality and imity. Isn't it right to go back and have a look now?"

Zhou Yixian's face remained unchanged and said, "It's because we were saved by him, so we should cherish our lives more. Otherwise, in case we fall into the trap and fall into the tiger's mouth, won't we live up to the intention of the ghost?"

Xiaohuan suffocated, and he couldn't think of anything to refute Zhou Yixian for a moment. Seeing this, Zhou Yixian couldn't help but be proud and laughed and said, "I have nothing to say?"

Xiaohuan said angrily, "You know that the man is ghostly and unpredictable, don't you care about your lifesaver at all?"

Zhou Yixian calmly said, "Don't worry, the ghost wants to do the Tao, and the magic weapon has the magic weapon. In terms of ghost gas, I'm afraid that he is more gloomy than the coffin. It's really difficult to die. What are you worried about?" After a pause, he said, "Besides, didn't you show him a photo ten years ago? That's what you said in those years, this person is the 'disturbed demon phase'. Although there are many twists and turns, it is not a short-lived life. So what are you worried about..."

"What, have you ever shown me the photo?" Suddenly, a voice came out of the side. The three of them were shocked and turned their heads to look. I don't know when Gui Li suddenly appeared beside them. In broad daylight, he seemed to flash out of the rain.

Although the rain is quite heavy at this moment, there are too many people fleeing in Heyang City, and most people do not care about this rain because they are full of fear of the coming beast demon. In fact, in these days, the people in Heyang City have been out of control because of their emotions. Fortunately, the disciples of Qingyunmen have maintained order in the city, and most of them have been dealt with in a short time. However, people are panicked, which also makes the city immersed in a crazy atmosphere all day long.

Xiaohuan and all three others were stunned for a moment, and then Xiaohuan was overjoyed and couldn't help shouting softly, "It's you..."

Wu Yixian and the wild dog Taoist frowned at the same time. Zhou Yixian snorted and actually said the same thing: "It's you..."

Gui Li ignored the two Zhou Yixian. First, he took a look at Xiaohuan and looked at the obvious true joy on her young face. He couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said, "It's me."

At this time, he lay on Gui Li's shoulder, because the rain drenched the hair on his body, the monkey Xiaohui also squeaked at the small ring twice, grinning, and seemed to be very happy to see the small ring.

Xiaohuan smiled happily and said to Xiaohui, "You still remember me! Ha ha." With that, she looked up at Gui Li, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Are you all right last night?"

Gui Li nodded and said, "I'm fine."

Xiaohuan was relieved and looked at Gui Li's eyes more. Suddenly, his face turned red, and then his eyes turned to Xiaohui. He smiled and opened his hands and said, "Come here and give me a hug."

Xiaohui giggled twice, suddenly kicked his feet, left Gui Li's shoulder, and jumped straight into Xiaohuan's arms. Xiaohuan ate and laughed. He only felt that the monkey's body was wet. He was about to take out a cloth to wipe it. Unexpectedly, the monkey also seemed to feel uncomfortable. At this moment, his whole body suddenly shook, and immediately splashed the drops of water everywhere. Xiaohuan screamed, but he didn't want to leave the monkey behind, so he had to quickly close his eyes. After a while, the clothes on his face were covered with beads of water by the monkey.

Xiaohuan opened his eyes and stared at Xiao Hui. The monkey's three eyes blinked and did not move. Xiaohuan snorted, threw his hands, and threw Xiaohui back to Gui Li. Xiaohui climbed to Gui Li's shoulder with both feet. Looking at Xiaohuan's busy tidying up his clothes, he couldn't help squeaking out again.

Xiaohuan couldn't laugh or cry. He bit his lower lip and secretly looked at Gui Li. Then he lowered his head to tidy up his clothes. Gui Li turned around and looked at Zhou Yixian. Zhou Yixian felt a little guilty and said, "Hey, stinky boy, I was your savior at the beginning. You can't

Gui Li pondered for a moment and looked around. He saw that the people next to him were taking care of themselves. No one noticed this, so he asked Zhou Yixian, "Who the hell are you?"

Zhou Yi looked up and said, "I am a good man."

The little ring next to

and the wild dog are shaking. Obviously, this answer is very strange.

However, Gui Li obviously ignored this "master" and asked directly, "Last night, your art of earth escape has been lost for a long time, but the legend has it that this kind of Taoism was the ability when Qing Yunzi, the ancestor of Qingyunmen, walked in the world. How could you have it?"

He looked deeply at Zhou Yixian and said, "What do you have to do with Qingyunmen?"

After a moment of silence, Zhou Xian said, "Okay! Up to now, I won't hide it from you..." Xiaohuan and the wild dog Taoist were stunned. Seeing that Zhou Yixian looked serious, he didn't want to be joking, and couldn't help but be serious.

I only heard Zhou Yixian slowly say, "The thing is actually like this. When I was young, I was handsome, romantic, gifted, and extremely smart... Er, don't think of me like this, I'll just go on. When I was young, I took medicine for a living. Once I went into the deep mountains to collect medicine and accidentally fell into a cliff..."

Gui Li, Xiaohuan and the wild dog Taoist frowned at the same time, but Zhou Yixian seemed to be gradually happy as he spoke and continued to say, "But my life is so big that I was hooked by a pine tree in the air, blocking most of the decline, and then fell down again. Unexpectedly, there was a pool under the cliff, Fortunately, I won't die..."

Xiaohuan couldn't help interrupting, "Grandpa, I seem to have heard your story somewhere, and it seems that many people say so. Those heroes in many comic reviews are going to fall off the cliff like this..."

Zhou Yixian stared at Xiaohuan and said angrily, "Is it me or you? Shut up. Er, what did I say? Well, I fell off the cliff, but I was lucky enough to die. Next, I accidentally found a secret left by a senior master who I don't know how many years ago. I was talented. I learned the secrets under the cliff, feeding on the aura of heaven and earth, time shuttled, and finally let me practice the right fruit Get the Tao and become an immortal..."

Gui Li said coldly, "Is there any other place where you look like a fairy besides your name?"

Zhou Xian suffocated for a moment, and his face was a little embarrassed, but then he returned to normal and said awe-inspiringly, "I am for the sake of the world, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, that's why I play in the world."

Gui Li said lightly, "Do you want to tell me that your art of earth escape is learned from that secret book?"

Zhou Xianlian nodded repeatedly and said, "Exactly, the child can teach." But after saying that, he turned his head and looked at the people around him. Not to mention the ghost, he saw that the word "unbelieve" was also clearly displayed on the faces of Xiaohuan and the wild dog Taoist.

Gui Li looked at this person, and naturally he would not believe such nonsense, but since Zhou Yixian said such words, he was unwilling to say his origin anyway. However, although this person seems to be involved with Qingyun Mountain, he has been with him in the past, and there is nothing wrong with him. What's more, in the ghost's heart, he always looks at Zhou Yixian and other three people more or less.

At the thought of this, Gui Li stopped forcing each other, but he didn't want to say anything more. He was about to say a few words to them and leave. Suddenly, at this time, a scream of panic broke out in the crowd in the distance south of Heyang City, and his voice was extremely sad.

Everyone was shocked. Looking back, the people all over the street next to them also turned their heads together. The streets that were originally full of people were towering, and the towering wall in the distance was also full of people, but at this moment they were running around. In the misty rain, there was a sad scream in the sky. A huge raptor opened its arms, and a pair of big eyes flashed with blood-red and fierce light. From the sky, the wings spread out, and it was half the width of the gate, which was really terrible.

The huge wind was driven by the giant bird. The wind hit, and the mast on the wall was broken by the fierce wind and fell down. The people at the wall were so frightened that they ran around. The giant bird fell from the sky with a shrill, and the huge and sharp bird claws were like the hands of a demon. They grabbed two runners, and then rose up to the sky and disappeared in the sky in a blink of an eye.

The whole city of Heyang fell into a dead silence in an instant. After a long time, I don't know who was the first to scream loudly: "The beast demon, it's the beast demon. We're over! ..."

In an instant, the whole city fell into a state of hysteria, and countless people howled loudly, wailing and chaos.

Only the misty rain between heaven and earth is still quietly underground, as if nothing had happened!
