[Ancient Sword and Sword III] Thousands of Horses and Thousands of Armies

"I went to the human world before...and never found your elder brother?" Aunt Wu lowered her head slightly and talked with Feng Qingxue.

Feng Qingxue hesitated for a moment, then shook her head slightly.

Yin Qianshang is her big brother Wu Xian, but... the big brother has become like that, and now he is still in the green jade altar... his life or death is uncertain.How could you say it... It messed up the heart of the person in front of him.

Aunt Wu comforted her and said, "Since there has been no news for several years, it must be difficult to find someone, so don't be in a hurry."

Feng Qingxue lowered her eyes and nodded.

Aunt Wu stood beside her, as if she wanted to pat her, but in the end she didn't do anything, and walked straight into the Wahuang Temple.

Feng Qingxue waited until the gate of the temple was closed before saying, "Sister Wu and elder brother are both one of the ten witches... they are good friends. She is very sad that elder brother is missing."

Fang Lansheng, who always escaped, didn't know what to say, but just scratched his hair.

Hongyu shook her head, "Since we are staying for three days, why not take a walk in Youdu and think about recent events."

Feng Qingxue nodded slightly, "Everyone can stay at my house, but the room is a bit small, I'll go and see if there are any vacancies in other places. It's not very big, you can just ask and you'll know where my house is." She looked Looking at the intricate road, "It's really hard to point..."

He Hua smiled and said, "It's just asking for directions, Qingxue, are you afraid that we won't know it?"

Feng Qingxue smiled embarrassedly, "Then, I'll go there first."

So several people dispersed separately.

But He Hua stopped Ling Yue, "Ling Yue—can you take advantage of these few days to, um, give me some pointers on my spells?"

Ling Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

Youdu is just a piece of pure land opened up by Nu Wa in the earth realm with divine power, but the people living here are all from the human world—although they have no idea what the human world looks like after generations.

He Hua and Ling Yue walked through the stone house, trying to find a quiet place.

However, they unexpectedly turned a corner and they came to the market.

It is not as lively as the markets in Qinchuan and Jiangdu, but looking at the things on the ground and the few passers-by, people are indeed doing business.

He Hua sized it up, "Either... let's take a look?"

Ling Yue nodded dispensably.

There are some simple utensils in the street stalls with strange patterns carved on them, probably the totem incarnations of the Nuwa tribe.Of course, there are blankets, clothes and other things put on sale, but there is almost nothing to eat and drink.

"The life here seems...very bitter." He Hua said softly, "It's obviously the closest place to God Nuwa..."

Ling Yue shook his head slightly, "They are very happy."

He Hua froze for a moment, then looked at the people not far away.Everyone's face is full of hope and enthusiasm - even if they know that they will never see the outside world in this life, they still have no complaints or regrets and live happily.

"Because...they have faith." He Hua murmured, and suddenly smiled, "I was stupid." That's how she was.The days in Tiance camp were bitter and dangerous, but she never regretted it.Because...behind this cold and hard city wall is the country her parents want to protect, and it is also the world she wants to protect.He will be afraid of death, but he will not regret dying because he picked up the spear left by his parents.

Seeing her face brighten up suddenly, Ling Yue couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and asked, "But is there something you like?"

He Hua was also taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, "Let's see if there is anyone selling weapons...?"

"...a weapon?" Ling Yue was stunned, thinking about the standard equipment of soldiers in his concept, and asked, "Is there a saber in hand?"

He Hua wanted to say that she actually wanted to find a bow and arrow at hand, but when she saw Ling Yue's focused eyes, she nodded mysteriously.

Ling Yue hesitated for a while, then took out a dagger and handed it to He Hua, "Try it and see if you can take advantage of it?"

He Hua took it and drew out his dagger.

This short sword is not made of such a good material, it's just fine iron.But He Hua can tell that this piece of iron has been hammered and refined, and it must have been painstakingly made by the people who built this weapon.Ordinary iron blocks have been tempered in this way, and their toughness has long been incomparable with ordinary iron swords.Although simple, this sword is indeed a good sword.

"It's a good sword!" He Hua smiled and pulled a sword flower, put the sword back into the sheath, and hung the scabbard on his waist, "Then I'll..."

Before she could say the word "You're welcome", she swallowed it back.Although there is no inscription on that sword—but there are words on the scabbard.

He Hua picked up the scabbard and looked carefully, and could vaguely see the Chinese characters "Hold your hand and grow old together" engraved in seal characters on it. On the other side, she rubbed the place where she thought it was a pattern carefully, but found that it was the character "Qing" .

"Lingyue, you... know the inscription?" He Hua looked up at Lingyue.

Ling Yue nodded silently.

"You know, I can't accept it." He Hua handed the sword back.

Ling Yue just looked at her without saying a word, his eyes just stared at her.

He Hua was a little stiff.Standing in the street holding a sword like this is really embarrassing, and Ling Yue has no other choice if he doesn't pick her up.

This is a market after all, and Youdu is that big after all, Lingyue and Hehua, who were dressed in strange clothes, knew at a glance that they were from the human world, and soon aroused whispers from the onlookers.

"Oh, that... young couple from the human world? Are you having a fight?"

"Hey, people in the human world are just awkward. They are not like the girls in our Youdu. They are generous, how nice."

"That's right, the one from Qingxue's family whose face was flushed by what Jinghong said just now has left..."

He Hua heard the whispers around him, put down his hands with a dark face, dragged Ling Yue to a random direction and pierced him - anyway, Youdu is not big, and he can always reach the border after walking around.

Ling Yue looked down at He Hua's hand that was holding him, and held it back.

He Hua's footsteps froze, and seeing that there were no people around, he stood still and turned around, "Ling Yue, I think what we said before was very clear."

"..." Ling Yue remained silent, "It's very clear." He wanted to say, I thought you at least needed someone to rely on, I thought I could be your support, and you haven't refused these days... Then why? Must reject this sword?

He Hua sighed, "So, take it back." Didn't I say that I can't steal her love, and... I can't take responsibility--I have nothing to do with this world, and I have nothing to do with you. side by side.

"Then... change the scabbard?" Ling Yue asked tentatively, "It's just a sword given to you by a friend?"

He Hua's hand froze, she knew that Ling Yue gave her the sword for the inscription on the scabbard, she retracted the scabbard and let her keep the sword... Her thumb lightly pressed against the hilt.Is it really good to take them apart...

"Outlanders?" Suddenly a little girl came out from a corner, blinking her eyes, "I didn't mean to listen to you, I just thought you would leave soon..."

He Hua and Ling Yue looked at each other speechlessly.

"Cough, little sister..." He Hua talked with this little girl, feeling like he was abducting a young child, "We didn't do it on purpose... Well, how about, this is for you?" She took out a bunch of candied haws.

The little girl shook her head, "Ah, I mean I'm bothering you, that's not what I meant..." But her eyes were fixed on the candied haws.

He Hua smiled, and handed her the candied haws in his hand, "It's okay, I'll give it to you."

The little girl hesitated for a moment, and took it over, "Thank you, sister, you are a good person!" She sniffed the candied haws, looked up at He Hua with a smile, "Brother and sister, I don't want your things for nothing, let me tell you Is it a good story?"

Without waiting for the two to answer, she started talking on her own, "Have you ever seen the Bana flower? It grows in Wangchuan. This kind of flower blooms and leaves fall, and never see each other. There is a legend in every corner of the world. It is said that Bianhua is actually the incarnation of a pair of twin sisters, the elder sister likes to wear red clothes and has a bad temper; the younger sister likes to wear green clothes and has a gentle temperament.”

He Hua, the flower of the other side, knew about it, but what she had heard all along was that it was the flower of death watered by blood, but this girl said it happily, and as a member of the Nuwa tribe, there should be... there will be no perverted characters who like death Well, let alone such a child.She looked up at Ling Yue, and Ling Yue also had some surprise in his eyes.

However, at this point, the little girl paused, her face flushed, "Well, well... I can't remember the rest, it seems that my sister made a mistake, and my sister helped her, but I was punished too... That sister must be very sad, she will never see her sister again, and she will be punished together with her sister."

Ling Yue suddenly spoke to comfort her, "But my sister is willing. So she...doesn't need anyone's sympathy."

The little girl stared blankly at Ling Yue, and He Hua also looked sideways at him, "Well... I am willing to do so, so... I don't need others to comment." Then she silently hung the dagger on her waist.

Ling Yue understood everything, but still wanted to treat her well.It's useless for her to refuse... It's just that she is destined to fail him.

"You...you seem to be talking to your aunt." The little girl lowered her head and played with the braids on her shoulders, "I asked my aunt, there are so many fun things outside, does she not regret staying here for the rest of her life... She said she was willing... "

"Outside... Qingxue's mother?" Ling Yue remembered that Nuwa mentioned that the reason why Feng Guangmo and Feng Qingxue could go out to Youdu was because their mothers came from the human world, so they couldn't be regarded as complete Youdu people.

The little girl nodded, "Do you know Sister Qingxue? My name is Fengmeng, and I can be regarded as Sister Qingxue's cousin... Since you are friends of Sister Qingxue and mine, if you have anything to help, just tell me—" As he spoke, he suddenly carried the candied haws on his back, "Well, this, I've already exchanged the story!"

He Hua smiled and said, "Well, it's already yours. It's delicious. That brother's name is Ling Yue, and my name is He Hua—do you know that there is no spacious place in Youdu where you can practice spells?" ?”

Fengmeng tilted her head, "Spells? - the best place is near the temple, don't go outside, the empress warned us not to leave Youdu casually."

He Hua patted Feng Meng's head, "Thank you!" Then he turned his head and said to Ling Yue, "Let's...let's go back to the temple."

Ling Yue nodded, turned and left.

Fengmeng puffed her lips, and stretched out her hand to grab He Hua who was about to leave with Lingyue, "Sister... don't be angry with brother anymore? The Great God has taught us that everyone should be kind and not fight among themselves."

He Hua laughed, "Hey, don't worry, the matter between me and him...well, we won't fight among ourselves anyway."

Feng Meng just nodded, let go of his hand, and watched He Hua quickly follow Ling Yue.

"Spells...so people in the human world can use them too?" The little girl tilted her head, "I really want to go out and see...they are all human, what's the difference outside?"
