There was no sound, only the sound of branches cracking in the fire from time to time. The strange boy and Gui Li didn't speak any more, the flame stretched and contracted, burning between them.
The color of the roasted pig's surface gradually turned golden, and a slight burnt smell emerged from the rich aroma. At this time, the entire roasted pig's surface was covered with a layer of transparent oil droplets. Ghost Li finally put the roasted pig on the ground. The pig turned around a few times and said, "It's all right, you guys eat!"
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Hui and Taotie rushed forward at the same time, Xiao Hui yelled "Zhi Zhi", and stretched out his hand to grab a hind leg of the roasted pig first. The pig's skin, which was roasting so hot, seemed to have no feeling at all in its hands like. It's just that the glutton was even more powerful, he didn't move his hands, feet or sharp claws, he directly opened his bloody mouth, regardless of the fact that the pork was still above the flames, he directly stuck his head in and bit it off.
When Taotie opened its mouth, the already huge mouth became even bigger and frightening. The huge roasted pig was actually bitten whole by this monster, leaving only one hind leg held outside by Xiaohui.
Xiao Hui was furious, the monkey's face showed an angry expression, it held the pig's leg in its hands, and at the same time it jumped and shouted, but the gluttonous beast didn't care about so many, its sharp teeth snapped, and it was as if it was smashed. Biting the delicious pork into two pieces, Xiao Hui was caught off guard, fell backwards with too much force for a while, rolled twice on the ground, and when he stood up, he only held a leg of pork in his hand.
As for the vast majority of that delicious roasted pig, it was bitten by Taotie at the moment and chewed loudly. The four eyes on the face were squeezed to both sides of the face by the bulging mouth, and the four eyes were still shining brightly, obviously eating very enjoyable.
"Squeak, squeak..." Seeing that most of the delicious food that belonged to him was robbed by this evil beast, Xiao Hui didn't get angry, but after screaming a few times, he lowered his head abruptly and began to gnaw, and he ate very quickly. , but I ate half of a pork leg in a while.
"Hey..." Taotie's deep roar rang out again, and he slowly turned his head to look at Xiao Hui, who had eaten up such a big roast pig in just a short while, and swallowed it up. Go down, there are not even bones left. And it was obvious that Taotie was still not satisfied, his four eyes were shining, staring straight at the last bone in Xiao Hui's hand.
Xiao Hui viciously ate the last piece of meat, his three eyes widened at the same time, looking at Taotie. Taotie was salivating, and walked towards Xiao Hui step by step. Xiao Hui waved his hand violently, and threw the remaining bone far away in another direction, with a gloating expression on his face. Unexpectedly, Taotie's figure flashed, like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he jumped up into the air and caught up with the flying fleshy bone, bit it in one bite, made a turning point in the air, and flew back again, landing beside the boy. It's just that at this time Taotie also seemed to know that this was the last thing, so he didn't swallow it in one gulp, instead he looked very fond of it, sticking out his tongue and licking the fleshy bone non-stop.
Xiao Hui was frightened by Tao Tie's appearance, and after a while turned his head to face Ghost Li, suddenly danced and squeaked, Ghost Li looked at it for a while, suddenly his face changed, and said: "You said it looks like rhubarb?"
Xiao Hui nodded immediately, and then looked at Taotie, the anger on the monkey's face gradually receded, replaced by a strange but warm expression. It looked at Taotie who was licking the meat and bones for a while, then moved over carefully, and slowly stretched out his hand, as if it wanted to touch Taotie's ferocious head. Taotie's vicious head turned around, and he let out a low growl vigilantly. Xiao Hui jumped back immediately, but then Zhizhi let out two low voices, and approached Taotie again, and Taotie's attention seemed to have temporarily left the fleshy bones. , placed on Xiao Hui.
After a while, Xiao Hui's hand stretched out again, Taotie didn't move, but all four eyes looked at Xiao Hui's hand, while Ghost Li and the boy remained silent, especially the boy's eyes had a strange light , silently watching the communication between these two strange beasts.
Xiao Hui touched Taotie's head with his hand, and touched it lightly. Taotie roared twice, but he no longer objected, and returned his attention to the meaty bone in front of him. Slowly approaching this strange beast, gently stroking Taotie's body with his hands, a happy look appeared on the monkey's face.
Gui Li slowly lowered his head, vaguely remembering that many years ago, on the Big Bamboo Peak, between Xiaohui and Dahuang, it seemed that they also got close like this. Time is like water, it turns out that Xiao Hui still remembers the time...
The young man suddenly broke the silence, and said with a slight smile: "I didn't expect the two of them to be very destined, did they?"
Gui Li glanced at Xiao Hui and Tao Tie, there was a trace of warmth in his eyes, and said: "Not bad."
The young man turned his head, added a twig to the fire, and fell silent again. After a long time, he suddenly laughed and said, "This glutton has been with me for so many years. I always thought I was taking care of it. Thinking about today, I realized that it is much happier than me." The smile on his face seemed to be vaguely bitter, and he said: "Besides eating and drinking enough, even if it is not the same kind, there is still a monkey like you who is willing to be with it. Be friends."
Gui Li raised his eyes to look at the young man, saw his expression was bleak, as if there was an indescribable sense of loneliness, he said lightly: "If you are lonely, you can just find a friend."
The boy snorted and said proudly: "The world is so big, who is worthy to be my friend, and who dares to be my friend?"
Gui Li frowned, the young man's tone was exaggerated, he felt a little disgusted, but saw that the young man seemed to think of something, his face was gloomy, and he whispered to himself: "But, there is a person, I really believe in her of… "
Gui Li looked at him through the burning flame in front of him, and said calmly: "How?"
The young man's face turned cold, and he sneered, "Later, I found out that she was lying to me. Not only that, but she also made me miserable, almost beyond redemption!"
Gui Li was silent, from the boy's expression, he unexpectedly recalled the past that was deeply buried in his heart ten years ago, the face of that kind monk seemed to appear before his eyes again...
He suddenly shook his head violently, but with force in his hands, the branches that were adding to the fire made a slight hoarse sound, turned into powder and scattered all over the ground.
The young man glanced at his hand, and suddenly said: "Do you have such a sad past?"
Gui Li's expression was gloomy, he didn't speak, the young man looked at him, his eyes sparkled, and suddenly said: "If you are going to die now, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
Gui Li was stunned for a moment, his heart was confused for a moment, his thoughts came to him in an instant, this question that he had never thought about before suddenly appeared in front of him, deep enmity, great hatred, long-cherished wish for ten years, lingering in white clothes, this life is full of wind and rain, But I never thought about what is the last wish in my heart
It should be to save Bi Yao, if he can save her, he will be willing to die! He had thought about this idea countless times in his heart for countless nights in ten years. It's just that there is still that frosty face, which I can't let go of after all, floating gently in the quiet corner of my heart...
He was insane for a moment, the night wind was blowing, and he didn't know how long it had passed. When he woke up, the boy had disappeared, and the gluttony on the ground seemed to have just soared into the sky, blending with the dark night, and the sound came from afar. Its low growling sound.
Xiao Hui jumped onto his shoulder, squeaked twice, Gui Li slowly looked up at the sky, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Xiao Hui, I still have to see her, right?"
Xiao Hui didn't seem to understand much, and didn't bother to pay attention. He raised his monkey head and looked at the sky, as if he was still looking for Taotie's figure.
The embers of the gradually extinguished fire gradually turned into a wisp of smoke, which drifted away gently. Ghost Li and Xiao Hui stood silently in this deep mountain forest. For a long time, in the night wind, there was only a low voice .
"... always have to see her..."
※※※
As time went by, this world catastrophe became more and more tragic. Monsters and alien races had already entered the middle land, and the people suffered heavy casualties. Hanging the lottery, when reporting to the decent teachers, he said that the monster is terrible.
People in the world are dying, but people in the righteous way are helpless. At this time, it is reported that the Qingyunmen, Tianyin Temple, and Fenxiang Valley, the three righteous sects, allied with Qingyun Mountain, and invited the righteous ways in the world to deal with this catastrophe. People flocked to Qingyun Mountain one after another. In just a few days, tens of thousands of people had gathered near Qingyun Mountain unprecedentedly, and most of them were people from the Middle Earth who had fled for their lives. , is already their last hope.
Qingyunmen, who was responsible for the reception, was very busy. More and more fellow Taoists and common people came to Qingyun. Soon there were not enough guest rooms on Tongtian Peak of Qingyunmen, so they had to let other branches open the guestrooms as well. Fortunately, after all, Qingyun Sect is a thousand-year-old sect with deep roots and great karma, and finally accepted it. However, the Xiaozhufeng sect among the seven veins has always been female disciples, and Master Shuiyue has a strange temperament, so it is not open to the public. , It makes many young expatriate disciples who have long admired the name very regretful.
But no matter what, although the catastrophe is coming, this time is still an unprecedented gathering of righteousness. The Qingyun sect is respectful as the landlord, and its reputation has increased even more than before. Meaning, and Master Daoxuan, the head of the Qingyun Sect, is firmly seated as the number one person in the world at this time.
At night, the peaks of the Qingyun Mountains are brightly lit. It is a grand event that has never been seen for thousands of years. Far below the mountain, with the mountain wind blowing, it seems that people talking and laughing on the high mountain can be heard, because The people who were frightened by the catastrophe seemed to be much more relaxed under the circumstances. After all, even if the sky fell, wouldn't there still be Qingyun Mountain above
And at this moment, the quietest place on Qingyun Mountain is probably no more than Xiaozhufeng. All sects strictly restrained their disciples after the kind explanation from Qingyun Sect, forbidding them to get close to Xiaozhufeng. It won't look good.
Compared with the bustle of other mountain peaks, Xiaozhufeng looks much cleaner. Occasionally, two or three beautiful female disciples of Xiaozhufeng pass by on the mountain road. The mountain breeze blows, and the tearful bamboos all over the mountain shake and rustle together. the sound of.
This night, the moonlight was cold, shining on the Xiaozhufeng mountain path, the bamboo shadows whirled, and the shadows swayed on the steps of the mountain path. From a distance came four or five female disciples from Xiaozhufeng, and the first one was Wen Min. I saw that these female disciples, including Wen Min, had gloomy complexions and frowned, as if they were very preoccupied.
The cold wind blows through the bamboo forest, as if there are black shadows flickering.
The youngest girl next to Wen Min looked only about thirteen years old, she was quite timid, she glanced at the dark place, her complexion was a little pale, she approached Wen Min, grabbed her clothes, and said softly: "Brother, Senior Sister , Then, there seems to be someone there!"
Wen Min and the others were startled and looked over together. After a while, Wen Min showed a smile on his face, patted the little girl's face, and said, "Xiaoshi, that's the shadow of the bamboo branches being swayed by the mountain wind. , it’s like this every night, you’ve just gone up the mountain, and you’ll know after a while.”
The girl named Xiaoshi breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little scared. She seemed to think of something again, and suddenly turned her head to look at the back mountain, and said, "Master, there is no one around the moon-watching platform on the back mountain, and there are people everywhere." It's this, these eerie things, we leave Senior Sister Xueqi over there alone, will she be afraid?"
Wen Min's face was gloomy, and he sighed, and said: "It's the Master Master who asked you, Senior Sister Xueqi, to reflect there, and there's nothing we can do about it, but Senior Sister Xueqi shouldn't be afraid, right?"
The other woman standing behind Wen Min snorted suddenly, with a sense of injustice, and said: "I really don't understand, why the master master treats Xue Qi like this, just because she refuses to agree to Fenxiang Valley's marriage proposal? "
"Pa", in the depths of the bamboo forest, there seemed to be a slight low sound, as if some small animal stepped on a bamboo branch, but all the girls were attracted at this moment, did not hear this sound, only the youngest Xiaoshi She seemed a little suspicious, but she glanced into the depths of the bamboo forest, and saw the shadow shaking, she couldn't help but turn pale again, and turned her head away quickly.
Wen Min sighed, and said: "Actually, that brother Li Xun is really not bad. He is a good-looking talent and has a good background. In the future, the position of the owner of Fenxiang Valley will probably be passed on to him, and judging by his appearance, he also loves Xueqi very much. , but the word love cannot be forced."
Another woman suddenly complained in a low voice: "Master, it's true, knowing Xue Qi's temper, why didn't you help her to intercede with the master?"
The original woman shook her head and said: "I don't think so, Xueqi is the one who listens to Master the most, and also respects Master Daoxuan the most, but this time she openly contradicted the two of them on Tongtian Peak, I think..." She suddenly lowered her voice and said softly: "Could it be that Xueqi already has someone she likes..."
"Shut up!" Wen Min suddenly shouted in a low voice, and everyone was startled. Wen Min's face relaxed slightly, but his tone was still very severe, and he said in a low voice: "We must not talk about this kind of speculation, otherwise if it spreads to the master In the ears of Bo and Master, I am afraid that the consequences will be disastrous."
Everyone was silent, the woman standing behind Wen Min was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Senior sister, in fact, from my point of view, I'm afraid we can think of what kind of person the sect master and master are, how can we not think of it? This time the head and master deliberately agreed to Fenxianggu's marriage proposal, probably because they knew that Xueqi had something in her heart... "
Wen Min turned her head sharply and stared at her. The woman's face changed slightly, she sighed, and kept silent. Hearing her sigh, Wen Min was silent for a moment, and couldn't help sighing: "Junior Sister Lin, in fact, we all feel the same. Everyone already loves her sister, and no one wants to see her become like this. But... well, I don't know what to say, anyway, I think Master loves Xueqi the most, so he won't make things difficult for her after all."
The other female disciples nodded together, and they all walked slowly, talking in low voices, and there were faint sighs, gradually walking away.
The shadow of the bamboo forest swayed, suddenly a black shadow seemed to float out of the deep darkness, and landed on the mountain path, it was Gui Li. In this place surrounded by sworn enemies, his complexion was faintly pale, and he was silent for a long time, then slowly turned his head to look at the back mountain of Xiaozhu Peak. Behind the bamboo forest, the moonlight is as clear as frost, and it is said that it is the place where the moon-watching platform of Xiaozhufeng, one of the six scenic spots of Qingyun, is located.
※※※
The cliff hanging alone in mid-air, except for the second half which is connected to the mountain, most of it hangs high in the sky. This night the moonlight is bright, hanging high in the sky, its brilliance is as clear as water, and it falls on the world like frost and snow, falling on the moon-watching platform. Although it is not as bright as the legendary full moon night that can illuminate the entire Xiaozhufeng, the moonlight on the platform is soft and illuminates the entire cliff as bright as day, especially because of the different angles of the smooth rocks on the ground. Reflecting countless moons, it looks even more cool and beautiful.
When Gui Li stepped onto the moon-watching platform, this beautiful scene was presented in front of him. And in the frosty moonlight, there was a woman in white clothes like snow, with her back to him, standing on the platform in front of the cliff, looking at the endless night in the distance, standing silently.
Gui Li's face was indifferent, but his eyes seemed to be shining because of the reflection of the beautiful moonlight, that figure in white, like a fairy standing in the moonlight, did not seem to have the slightest taste of the world.
As if sensing something, the figure moved, and Lu Xueqi's cold and slightly tired voice sounded: "Senior Sister, why are you back again..."
She turned her head slowly and spoke, but in the middle of speaking, her voice suddenly disappeared. Lu Xueqi's usually indifferent face showed an expression of disbelief, and the figure of that man stood there silently, staring at her.
"Zhang..." She opened her mouth slightly, but her voice was low before she could speak, "... Xiaofan."
Ghost Li stood on the spot, motionless, the moonlight shone on Lu Xueqi's snow-like skin, almost as transparent as flawless, adding to her thrilling beauty. Far away, he actually had a feeling that he didn't dare to approach.
"Are you okay?" There were thousands of words in his stomach, but these few words were the only ones that came out of his mouth.
Lu Xueqi stared at this man, the man standing at the intersection of moonlight and shadow, the expression on his face was so complicated, as if something was tormenting him in his heart, but that figure was clearly in front of him! I don't know how many times I have thought about the figure in my dream!
She lowered her head slightly, hesitated to speak. After a long time, he said softly: "Since you are here, why don't you come?"
Gui Li's body trembled, Xiao Hui, who had been following him all this time, had gone to nowhere, he saw a look of hesitation flashing in his eyes, to him, it seemed that this short few steps would take a long time. A lot of courage.
Lu Xueqi was still standing there, silent as promised, when the mountain wind blew, her white clothes fluttered lightly.
Stepped out and walked on the moonlight, the bamboo forest rustled in the distance behind him, the woman in front of him quietly raised her head and stared, Ghost Li stood in front of her.
Lu Xueqi looked at him, the initial excitement and panic on her face quietly disappeared, she suddenly said: "Do you still remember what I said, the next time we meet, we will be sworn enemies, you," she looked at him , said slowly: "Why do you still come to see me?"
The corners of Gui Li's mouth twitched, his eyes flickered, he suddenly looked away, and stopped looking at Lu Xueqi, just when Lu Xueqi's face was getting darker, the man in front of her turned his head slowly, as if hesitating, as if he was struggling , and finally said softly: "You seem to have lost weight..."
Lu Xueqi's body shook, and a look of astonishment flashed across her face again, but joy followed immediately. For the first time in her life, her face, as white as frost and snow, showed a faint blush, like crystal clear ruby, with endless tenderness and lingering shyness.
Even if there is no tomorrow, even if the front is still dark, but if the heart is warm, maybe you won't be afraid...
This beautiful and cold woman suddenly smiled, like the most beautiful lily in the night, smiling silently in the wind, her pure white figure was as dazzling as the moonlight. Gui Li held his breath.
Lu Xueqi said suddenly, word by word: "I'm very happy!" Then, she was still smiling, her eyes were as soft as lingering water waves.
The night is getting darker, and the moon is sinking.
Standing side by side on the cliff in front of the moon-watching platform, we looked at the darkness ahead together. The mountain wind blew, and the clothes of the two people fluttered at the same time, and the figures were in the clear moonlight.
Gentle, is the feeling of the wind blowing on the face!
In the boundless and dark sky, there are still bits of starlight, quietly flickering.
"The people from Fenxiang Valley proposed marriage to you?"
After being silent for a long time, Lu Xueqi said calmly: "Yes, both the master and the head martial uncle have agreed."
Gui Li's voice didn't seem to have changed, he said calmly: "On the way I came, I heard your senior sisters talking, I heard that you don't want to?"
Lu Xueqi smiled and said, "Yes, I don't want to."
Gui Li looked at her in a blink of an eye, but what caught his eyes was Lu Xueqi's indifferent face and a faint smile between his brows. There was a sudden surge of excitement in his heart, as if the excitement rose from deep in his heart, even his body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but blurted out: "Come with me!"
Lu Xueqi trembled, looking at him, she saw Ghost Li, no, what she saw at this moment was clearly the same Zhang Xiaofan back then! That stoic and persistent boy
where to go
whatever! The ends of the earth!
There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, but there was a faint sparkle in her eyes, as if she was hesitating, but after a while, she finally said softly: "What about Baguio?..."
Like a pot of cold water being poured over his head, Ghost Li's whole body was cold, the cold that leaked from the deepest part of his heart seemed to freeze him into ice in a blink of an eye. The water-green figure, the serene smile, the beautiful figure lying on the ice-cold stone platform completely knocked him down in the blink of an eye.
He bowed his head silently for a long time, and then, when he raised his head again, the excitement on his face had disappeared, replaced by indifference. Lu Xueqi stared blankly at his changes, feeling so clearly that the man in front of her was gradually moving away from the lingering warmth and hiding in the cold darkness.
She took a deep breath, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but who could see the faint tears in the corner of her eyes, the beauty that shocked the soul at that moment!
"Next time," Gui Li turned around and walked away slowly, "When we meet again, use your sword!"
He left without turning his head, like a determined lover who has lost his love, and the moonlight followed behind him, like a gentle hand pulling powerlessly, but after all, he couldn't hold his figure.
He disappeared into the darkness, that's where he came from and where he left!
On Lu Xueqi's pale face, there was still a slightly stiff smile, and her snow-like white clothes fluttered in the wind, under the moonlight, until she silently shed her first tear.
Tears all over the mountains and plains, under the moonlight, on such a desolate night, rustling...
