Huafa Luoyang

He froze for a moment and asked, "This..."

Several people turned around to look at him, Xun Luo frowned, looked up at the invisible cliff, and asked hesitantly, "Could it be the cliff above?"

Zhuang Jiuyao looked at him and nodded: "Yes, there is a cliff above."

"I heard that people who fell off the cliff couldn't find their bodies." Xun Luo whispered.

Zhuang Jiuyao smiled: "Maybe they are the same as you. They fell down and were dragged upstream by wild beasts, where they met an idle doctor."

Xun Luo raised the corner of his mouth, turned his head and looked to the left.There is a hidden path there, if you follow it all the way, you will probably come to the barrier forest of Yaowang Valley.

In the late autumn of the year before last, he was chased and killed by the people inside Tianmen, and jumped off the cliff.Although he was seriously injured and dying, he still opened his eyes in a daze.

Out of an assassin's instinct, he was always sensitive to the environment he was in, and before he passed out, he had just glanced at the scenery by Tanbian.

I never thought that there would be a day to revisit the old place.

It was really thanks to the two hungry wolves.

Zhuang Ning'er took a breath: "It should be safe here, right?"

"Not necessarily." Zhuang Jiuyao shook his head, "When they leave, we still have to go back, and we can think about the future. Fortunately, there is a maze on the way to the barrier forest from here, so I'm not afraid."

He said and looked at Wei Qingcheng: "Just in case, Qingcheng, seal this secret passage."

Wei Qingcheng nodded, and took out a fire pocket from his pocket.Only then did Xun Luo discover that there was a fire door on one side of the hole, which seemed to be ready to be blown up.

The fire door was tightly locked, and the sound was muffled, not loud. After the sound, there was a rumble, and it was a stone that was thrown down to block the secret passage.

Zhuang Jiuyao breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat down on the spot leaning against a tree, adjusted his breath for a while, then stretched out his hand to touch his chest, and took a deep breath.Seeing this, Wei Qingcheng also sat down and healed his wounds.

Xun Luo was anxious, but there was no obvious expression on his face, he just stared at his beautiful eyes, afraid to ignore any subtle expressions he showed.

Zhuang Ning'er was already worried, but when she turned her head to see Xun Luo's expression, she felt even more uncomfortable. Then she looked at his shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xun, shall I bandage it for you first?"

He shook his head: "It's okay, just wait."

The sun turned to the west from the center, Wei Qingcheng withdrew his hand.

Zhuang Jiuyao opened his eyes, breathed a long sigh of relief, smiled at Wei Qingcheng, and said: "Ning'er, help Qingcheng make a bowl of medicine to invigorate Qi, I will come back after a while."

As he spoke, he winked quietly at Zhuang Ning'er.

Zhuang Ning'er and Wei Qingcheng looked at each other, agreed to go, walked a few steps back to look at him, and mouthed: "It's hurt."

The two walked away.

Xun Luo was still standing beside him, looking at him quietly, and asked, "Can you still make medicine here?"

"Yes." Zhuang Jiuyao replied, pointing to the bamboo forest not far away, "There is a small courtyard behind."

Xun Luo glanced at where he was pointing, and turned around to see the long sword on the ground, radiant and quiet, with the simple and undecorated scabbard in his hand.

After a moment of silence, he slowly squatted down, picked up the long sword and put it into the sheath, and put the sword aside.

The two faced each other, Zhuang Jiuyao bent one of his long legs, hung his elbows on his knees, looked at him for a while, then smiled suddenly: "Xun Daxia is so arrogant."

Xun Luo raised his eyebrows suspiciously, seeing him reach out and touch his face.

He paused, and felt Zhuang Jiuyao's fingers stroking behind his ears: "The air is so big, no, it's because I'm too light to see the true face of Xun Daxia."

Xun Luo smiled, and immediately wiped off the mask on his face, revealing a stern face.

After such a long separation, goodbye is still familiar.Zhuang Jiuyao looked at him in a daze, and the two looked at each other for a long time, with mixed feelings for a moment, and they had nothing to say.

At the same time, Xun Luo was also carefully tracing his face in his mind. He felt that he was insane, and then remembered something, and suddenly said softly: "The magnolia tree in the yard is still there."

"It's still there." Zhuang Jiuyao raised the corner of his mouth, "The peony under the tree is still there too."

"I……"

"I……"

The two spoke at the same time, looked at each other, and said in unison: "You..."

Zhuang Jiuyao let out a chuckle: "Go ahead."

Xun Luo didn't speak, half kneeling on the ground, reaching out to caress his face.

Zhuang Jiuyao grabbed that hand, tilted his head and rubbed against his palm, and asked, "Have you ever thought about me?"

"I want to." Xun Luo said bluntly, "I really want to."

Zhuang Jiuyao's eyes flickered for a moment, then he squeezed his hand, tilted his head, and bit his palm hard, saying: "But I don't miss you at all."

Xun Luo smiled: "Really?"

"Yes." He said viciously, then grabbed Xun Luo's collar, pulled him in front of him, and embraced him.The strength made Xun Luo secretly startled.

Such a hug pressed the wound on Xun Luo's shoulder, Xun Luo didn't say a word, but Zhuang Jiuyao felt the stickiness of his hand, shook his body, and let him go quickly.

Xun Luo stretched out his hand to grab his back, pulled him forward, hugged him tightly again, and said softly, "It doesn't hurt."

Zhuang Jiuyao rolled his eyes.

Walking further west from the edge of the pool is the bamboo forest Zhuang Jiuyao pointed out to him just now, and he was startled as soon as he crossed the bamboo forest to search for Luo.

The small courtyard at the back looks almost exactly the same as Zhuang Jiuyao's. If it wasn't for the barren courtyard without the tall magnolia tree, he would have thought that his group had returned to the old place.

Zhuang Ning'er happened to be carrying a bowl of medicine into the main room in the middle, seeing the two of them also coming in, she shouted: "My lord, your medicine is on fire."

Xun Luo was a little surprised, and asked, "Is this also the site of your Medicine King Valley?"

"No." Zhuang Jiuyao shook his head, "It's the territory of Yaowanggu's deadly enemy."

He seemed to be tired, so he didn't explain much, he just brought Xun Luo into the main room.

Xun Luo looked around, and suddenly felt that he had expected such a disaster in Yaowang Valley, there was no dust everywhere in the hall, if it was not occupied by people from time to time, it had been cleaned.

It wasn't until Zhuang Ning'er called him to wash the wound and saw a few bundles and a pile of bottles and jars in the next hut that he confirmed his guess.

After bandaging the wound on her shoulder, Zhuang Ning'er pointed to the room next to her: "The hot water is ready, let's find elder brother to wash it."

Xun Luo thanked him, turned around and entered the room, but unexpectedly Zhuang Jiuyao also followed.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?"

Zhuang Jiuyao pointed at his shoulder, as a matter of course: "You don't need help?"

Xun Luo pursed his lips slightly when he heard this, and Zhuang Jiuyao took a step closer to him, and said softly: "Don't worry, the sky is not dark yet, the day is bright, I just want to do something No way."

It sounds like Xun Luo is thinking about it alone.

I thought he would be silent, but Xun Luo said: "But what if I want to do it?"

Zhuang Jiuyao was startled, then smiled: "I can't ask for it."

In the end, however, no one did anything.

When we met this time, Xun Luo always felt that something was wrong, perhaps because he knew that his life was not long.

Or maybe he discovered that Zhuang Jiuyao's unknown was too much for him, but the weight was too heavy, so even though he hugged him so tightly just now, he was still separated.

Several people cleaned themselves up, Wei Qingcheng hunted a pheasant outside, found some wild vegetables somewhere, and made dinner.

After bumping and fighting all the way, it always makes people feel unreal to be able to sit at the table and eat a home-cooked meal knowing that there is nothing ahead.

Nor practical.

It wasn't until nightfall that Xun Luo realized that the unreliability was not because there was a little stability in the bumps, but because he didn't know how many things he was afraid of were hidden under the stability.

But he was not afraid of many things.

This yard is the same as in Gu Zhong, but there are many houses, so Zhuang Jiuyao seems to be unable to find a reason to share a house with Xun Luo.

Xun Luo stayed in the room, feeling that he had many things to ask, but he didn't know where to start.

The restlessness in his heart spread layer by layer, he unconsciously rubbed the hilt of his sword, thinking of the willow-leaf dagger still in Mei Ji's hand, he became even more upset.

It is so easy to go back to Tianmen by oneself, is it true that, as Mei Ji said, he paved the way for himself?But what ability does he have, who is his real identity, and why can he have such great ability in Tianmen?

What is the relationship between him and the Suzaku hall master who is trying to protect himself?

Or, he himself is Suzaku hall master?But if this is the case, he and Zhuang Jiuyao are old acquaintances, is there any connection between Zhuang Jiuyao and Tianmen?

At the Town God's Temple, Mei Ji told himself the way to find his inner strength, didn't it just go against what he said, the idea of ​​letting him return to Tianmen?

Does this mean that he has been completely abandoned and there is no need to live anymore, or does it mean that Mei Ji has other plans?

Could it be related to Zhuang Jiuyao?

Thinking of this point, he was startled suddenly, stood up all of a sudden, accidentally knocked over several cases, and made a loud bang.

The long sword fell to the ground, and he felt pain in his palm.He raised his hand and took a look, and found that the protrusion on the top of the sword hilt had been touching the palm of his hand, leaving a deep indentation.

There was a knock on the door: "Brother Xun? What's wrong with you?"

Xun Luo replied: "It's nothing, I've overturned several cases." As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his throat was tightening.

Zhuang Ning'er seemed relieved, and said: "Brother Xun, rest early, you are injured, you should rest well."

Xun Luo replied again, not knowing why Zhuang Jiuyao didn't come to him, he stayed for a long time, then went out, intending to let Zhuang Jiuyao explain everything clearly.

When he reached the door, he hesitated again.

He stretched out his hand and pinched the center of his brows, feeling that it was outrageous for him to be so suspicious, but he couldn't suppress the anxiety in his heart.

Just as he was hesitating whether to knock on the door, the door creaked and was pulled open.

The two looked at each other, Xun Luo rolled his Adam's apple twice, but did not make a sound.The corners of Zhuang Jiuyao's mouth twitched: "Are you here to throw yourself into your arms?"

"I have something to ask you."

After this sentence, there was another long silence.

After staring at each other for a long time, Zhuang Jiuyao turned sideways and said, "Come in."

Xun Luo was dressed in sky blue, which Zhuang Jiuyao put aside when he was taking a bath. At this time, the original color cannot be seen under the dim yellow light, but it still suits him very well.

"Aren't you going to ask me how my skills come back?" Xun Luo asked.

Zhuang Jiuyao walked to the table and sat down, nodded: "I know."

In fact, Xun Luo knew the answer well, he just couldn't find a good beginning.After a pause, he walked over and sat down opposite him after a few cases: "Then why don't you ask who told me?"

Zhuang Jiuyao smiled: "Mei Ji."

He answered very frankly, Xun Luo suddenly didn't know what to say, Zhuang Jiuyao looked at him: "Actually, do you want to ask, what's the matter with my skill?"

Xun Luo nodded, Zhuang Jiuyao continued: "And my real identity and my relationship with Mei Ji?"

Xun Luo said "Yes", Zhuang Jiuyao smiled, but didn't continue talking, just picked up a pair of small scissors beside the case to cut the candle wick, once cut off, the whole room went dark for a moment, and then brightened again.

"Mei Ji is my junior brother." He said slowly, "We have looked down on each other since we were young, and when we met, we would either quarrel or fight. Over time, a rift arose, so he left the valley when he became an adult, and went out to roam the rivers and lakes by himself. .”

Xun Luo frowned slightly: "It's just that you can't understand the other party?"

Zhuang Jiuyao curled his lips: "I can't hide it from you. In fact, I was poisoned by the same kind of poison as him when I was a child. The poison can forcibly improve a person's martial arts, but the pain is unbearable, and it is fatal. Neither he nor I are willing to take it." Stuck in this poison, and later chose different ways to solve it, which caused the biggest conflict between us."

After being stunned for a while, Xun Luo said: "It's what Senior Nangong mentioned...so your hard work can cure all poisons?"

Zhuang Jiuyao nodded, Xun Luo's heart skipped a beat, and then asked: "The reason why you don't have skill in ordinary times is because you suppressed the poison and locked your internal energy at the same time. But on the night of the new moon and the full moon, Gu The poison is the strongest, it cannot be cured, and the suppression is limited, so the internal strength has increased dramatically?"

"It's not a good thing to be too smart. You can understand everything just by thinking about it." Zhuang Jiuyao smiled.

Xun Luo slowly shook his head: "I usually don't think much about it."

"That's right, it's painful to live, and I still think about what to do so much." Zhuang Jiuyao looked at his eyebrows carefully, "I didn't think about how to explain it to you just now, and I also expected that you would not be able to sit still, so I didn't Look for you."

Xun Luo was silent for a long time, and asked: "Then what will be the price if you forcefully urge your internal energy now?"

The author has something to say:

In fact, Zhuang Jiuyao's weight in Xun Luo's heart may have exceeded what he could feel.

Friday!Hold on!It's going to be a holiday soon! ! !
