In the dark night, the moon and stars cannot be seen, and there is no light in the night sky.
Zhang Xiaofan knelt at the entrance of the cave, it has been almost six hours. Most of the disciples of the other sects had already fallen asleep, and even the last lit fire in the Dazhufeng cave was gradually extinguished with great reluctance.
In the cave, Tian Buyi seemed to say something, Tian Linger almost immediately yelled: "Father!"
There was no sound, no words, Zhang Xiaofan didn't know what happened, but soon, Song Daren walked out.
Zhang Xiaofan raised his head and looked at the elder brother. Song Daren's face was full of intolerance, but in the end he said cruelly: "Little brother, master said that you annoyed him by kneeling here, and told you to kneel further away."
Zhang Xiaofan's heart sank, but his face suddenly felt cold, icy cold. On this dark night, it began to rain.
He didn't say a word, got up silently, walked to the distance, at the edge of the dense forest, under the old tree, and knelt down.
Song Daren looked at him for a long while, but saw the figure of his junior brother gradually blurred in the rain and fog of the night, he sighed softly, shook his head, and walked back.
There was a loud "Boom", thunder came from the sky, and white lightning flashed across the sky, as if the dark night sky was split into several pieces. After a while, bean-sized raindrops fell down like pebbles, hitting the rocks with a crackling sound. Later, it rained cats and dogs, pouring down.
In the blink of an eye, the sky and the earth were foggy, Zhang Xiaofan's whole body was completely soaked in a moment, his clothes were tightly attached to his body, it was indescribably cold. He raised his head and looked forward. In the dark night and the heavy rain, he couldn't see the scene in the cave clearly.
Between heaven and earth, it seemed that he was the only one left, here, suffering.
He bowed his head and remained motionless.
This heavy rain, however, seemed to be punished by the heavens as well, it kept falling, the rain did not stop at all, lightning flashed and thunder roared wildly on him!
The rain dripped down from his wet hair and slid down his face, Zhang Xiaofan could hardly keep his eyes open, but at this moment, when there was no wind and rain, he suddenly saw, In front of him, a figure appeared, with a pair of feet, stepping in front of him.
He raised his head with difficulty, lightning flashed in the sky, and huge thunder rumbled. With that gleam of light, he could clearly see the beautiful woman standing in front of him.
Zhang Xiaofan was completely stunned.
Lu Xueqi was drenched from head to toe, the lightning flashed away, and her figure turned into a hazy shadow in the darkness. But Zhang Xiaofan clearly felt that she was right in front of him.
On a rainy and windy night, such a gentle figure squatted down gently in front of him.
The more urgent the rain, the crazier the wind!
In the depths of the woods, there seemed to be monsters screaming and roaring.
A cold palm, trembling slightly, caressed Zhang Xiaofan's hair, with a voice like dream language, in this stormy night, whispered: "Don't be afraid, it will pass soon!"
"..."
"I'll be here with you!"
"..."
"Boom!" The sound of thunder seemed to crack the night sky and shatter the soul. At the place where the lightning flashed, amidst the howling wind and rain, when the icy rain flowers danced wildly like a demon, that gentle face and pair of gentle eyes, like the sweetest figure in Youmeng, accompanied her by her side.
In the wind and rain, she murmured to herself in a low voice, facing Zhang Xiaofan, and as if she was deep in her heart, softly, softly said: "You save me and protect me, even if you don't spare your own life, I will treat you as usual. You The pain in my heart, God knows it, I can't share your pain, so I bear it with you. I always hope that one day, you can be with the love in your heart and be together happily... "
The voice became softer and quieter, and gradually disappeared. The wind and rain are even more violent, and the figure is so weak, like a grass injured in the wind, swaying unsteadily. Zhang Xiaofan was in a trance, like a dream.
The night is dark and the sky is speechless!
※※※
The wind and rain raged for a long time, before he calmed down a little, Zhang Xiaofan's whole body was icy cold, the cold air invaded his body, his hands and feet were already icy cold, he knew that if this continues, he would definitely be seriously ill, but no matter what, he didn't want to get up to hide from the rain.
In this cold, there was faint warmth coming from the arm of his right hand, slowly swimming in his body, resisting a lot of coldness, as if it came from the arm tied on his right hand. That magic weapon, the Xuanhuojian.
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly thought of the ghostly woman just now, he thought it was Lu Xueqi in a trance, but at this moment, he couldn't see where the figure was, and he didn't know if he left or never appeared.
Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on his lips, he shook his head, water splashed everywhere. But at this moment, a voice was clearly heard: "Silly boy!"
Zhang Xiaofan was startled, turned his head quickly, and almost called out "Senior Sister Lu". But I saw a woman slowly walking out from the depths of the dense forest, with an umbrella in her hand to shield from the wind and rain, looking at him with a smile, but it was someone he never expected to meet here—the demon girl Baguio.
At this time, in the night, although the rain was a little lighter than before, it was still quite heavy, and it couldn't be seen clearly from a little distance. Zhang Xiaofan thought he was dazzled, but when he took a closer look, it was actually Bi Yao, walking over pretty, with a smile on his face.
I saw that she was still dressed in water-green clothes, and she was still holding the turquoise oilcloth umbrella in her hand. But the wind and rain were too strong, and the edges of her fluffy clothes were also wet in several places. When he came to the front, he could see it more clearly, those places were wet with water, softly sticking to the skin, looming.
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly lowered his head, not looking at her.
Bi Yao was stunned for a moment, squatted down in front of him, glanced up and down at him, chuckled lightly, and said, "You are really weird, you have to kneel here in such a heavy rain, could it be that this is your Qing Yun sect Is it the practice method in the middle?"
Zhang Xiaofan glared at her angrily, but saw Bi Yao's pretty face in the night, unexpectedly gentle as water, couldn't help being stunned for a while.
"Boom!" The thunder rumbled from the dark clouds in the sky. Almost at the moment before, a huge bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, split the night sky in two, and then faded away. Accompanied by the thunder and lightning, the rain in the sky became heavier again.
Baguio frowned, and leaned forward. Zhang Xiaofan suddenly realized that the raindrops that hit his body so painfully had suddenly decreased, his whole body seemed to be suddenly liberated from the heavy pressure all the time, and became relaxed.
He looked up, but it was Baguio who moved half of the umbrella over to block the rain for him. But the rain is so heavy, Bi Yao can't take care of Zhang Xiaofan, so it's inevitable that she has neglected, half of her body is wet in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Xiaofan felt warm in his heart, couldn't help but reached out and pushed the umbrella over, and said in a low voice: "You just got seriously ill in the bleeding hole, be careful to catch a cold."
Baguio seemed startled for a moment, looking at Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan was surprised by her, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Bi Yao pursed her lips and smiled, but her expression seemed to be full of joy, and she said, "So you kid, you still know how to care about my body?"
Zhang Xiaofan's face flushed, but fortunately in this stormy night, it was hard to see, and he said awkwardly, "I'm afraid you'll be sick later and blame me."
As soon as Bi Yao leaned towards him, they immediately squatted side by side with him, the difference is that Zhang Xiaofan knelt on the ground, while Bi Yao squatted next to him. At the same time, Baguio's umbrella moved over again to block the two of them from the wind and rain.
Zhang Xiaofan only felt the wind and rain, but there was a gentle, faint fragrance around him, secretly coming, couldn't help but looked to the side, didn't want Bi Yao to be looking at him, the two looked at each other, they were stunned immediately. After a while, Zhang Xiaofan first looked away, but for some reason, his heart started beating violently.
And Baguio, who has always been very good at talking, has also calmed down at this moment, quietly squatting beside Zhang Xiaofan, accompanying him, but when he was not paying attention, she quietly moved the umbrella towards Zhang Xiaofan's body Some, to block a little more wind and rain for him.
"Ah!" Zhang Xiaofan, who was in a state of confusion in silence, suddenly thought of something, couldn't help but yelled out, turned his head to look at Bi Yao, with an anxious expression on his face, and said urgently: "You, how could you come here? ?”
Baguio was not too surprised by his reaction, she just smiled faintly, and said in a faint voice, amidst the sound of wind and rain all over the sky and ground, with a bit of bewilderment: "I'm here to see you!"
Zhang Xiaofan lowered his voice, but the anxiety in his voice was palpable, he said: "All around here are people of our righteous path, not to mention those seniors from Tianyin Temple and Fenxiang Valley, just any elder from our Qingyun Sect, you There will be no place to bury you. Are you still leaving?"
But Bi Yao seemed indifferent, just looked at Zhang Xiaofan's anxious expression with a smile, sighed suddenly, and said: "You brat, you have a bit of conscience!"
Zhang Xiaofan was dumb for a moment, unable to speak.
Only Baguio whispered: "Don't you consider yourself righteous? Don't you have no balance between good and evil? Why don't you call someone to arrest me?"
Zhang Xiaofan was anxious in his heart, after hearing her words, he was as if enlightened, his heart was shaken, his whole body broke out in cold sweat. In the eyes of outsiders, although he is not as talented and extremely intelligent as Lin Jingyu and his senior sister Tian Linger, he is not a fool after all. It's just that no one has paid attention to him on the Big Bamboo Peak these years, which made him himself Just a little inferiority complex.
At this moment, after hearing Bi Yao's words, Zhang Xiaofan immediately realized that his current situation is really very wrong. Don't say that I was still the body of the sin that was punished by the master, even if I was discovered by my fellow disciples at this moment, I was so intimate with this demon girl, I'm afraid I couldn't tell the difference even if my mouth was all over my body.
Thinking of this consequence, Zhang Xiaofan heard a "hum" in his head, no matter what he didn't dare to continue thinking about it. Feeling flustered, she was about to call out to her peers, but unexpectedly she glanced at Baguio leaning on her shoulder, and at the moment, it was windy and rainy, but she covered most of her umbrella with her head, and she That half of his body was already drenched.
The clothes were tightly attached to her skin and reflected in his eyes. Even on her snow-white face, there were some raindrops, which condensed into beads and slowly slid down.
This cry, Zhang Xiaofan was unable to utter it no matter what.
"You, why are you bothering?" Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head and said softly: "I also guessed that your father must be a big shot, and you must be a pampered young lady in normal times, why bother for me, a little disciple of Qingyun, Take such a big risk and come here to suffer?"
The wind and rain were blowing, the heaven and the earth were chilling, and in the vast night rain, it seemed that there was only this place left in the whole world, only the two of them.
Baguio seemed to feel a little cold, and leaned closer to Zhang Xiaofan, this movement was kind and familiar, just like the scene of the two of them at the moment of life and death in the blood dripping cave that day.
Her voice was also a bit erratic at this moment: "No, I didn't suffer. You don't know, the real suffering in this world is in the human heart..."
Her voice gradually lowered, and the words behind her gradually became inaudible, but Zhang Xiaofan suddenly noticed that she quietly leaned her head on his shoulder.
The sound of wind and rain whizzed by, but Zhang Xiaofan only felt that his mind was blank.
Only the faint fragrance beside him, in this cold and windy wind, actually entangled him so truly.
※※※
In the early morning, the clouds opened and the sun rose, and the rain stopped and the wind stopped.
Tian Buyi walked out of the cave alone, and saw his little apprentice in the distance, kneeling on the edge of the dense forest in the distance, motionless.
He frowned and walked over. Walking closer, Zhang Xiaofan heard a voice, raised his head, saw that it was Master Tian Buyi, moved his mouth twice, and called out in a low voice: "Master."
Tian Buyi could see that his clothes were completely soaked, there were drops of water dripping from his hair from time to time, his face looked even paler, it was obvious that he suffered a lot from the heavy rain last night.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown. At this moment, he heard voices coming from the row of caves behind him. He expected to be disciples from various sects and sects getting up. Tian Buyi snorted, walked towards the woods, when passing by Zhang Xiaofan, said lightly: "Follow me!"
Zhang Xiaofan hastily responded and was about to get up, unexpectedly he was only half standing up, suddenly his feet gave way and he fell down again, he felt numbness and soreness in his feet, probably caused by kneeling all night.
Tian Buyi was walking in front, and when he stopped, he seemed to hesitate for a while, but he still didn't look back, and walked straight forward.
Zhang Xiaofan gritted his teeth, and massaged his legs repeatedly with his hands. Fortunately, he is not usually a pampered person. The body that he had trained while chopping bamboo at the Big Bamboo Peak responded at this moment. After a while, his energy and blood became a little smoother, and he was able to walk.
Zhang Xiaofan stood up, looked forward, but saw Tian Buyi's figure was about to disappear into the woods, so he quickly ran to follow. Not long after, when the decent disciples in the cave came out, the two of them could no longer be seen.
※※※
In the woods on Liubo Mountain, there are towering ancient trees everywhere, there are many big trees surrounded by one person, even giant trees that can be hugged by two or three people are unexpectedly seen from time to time. I think it's because the place is remote and has never been inhabited.
Zhang Xiaofan followed Tian Buyi, walking slowly in the forest. The twilight of the morning shines through the tops of the trees and sprinkles on the bushes in the forest.
In this forest after the rain, it seems that everything has been cleaned, and everything is green everywhere. Occasionally, there are unknown small flowers blooming in lonely places, exuding a faint fragrance.
Tian Buyi walked ahead, keeping silent all the time. He is short and fat, at this time Zhang Xiaofan is already half a head taller than him, but in Zhang Xiaofan's eyes, that person's figure seems as tall as a mountain god. What's more, at this moment, in his heart, Baguio's affairs are weighing on him like a hill, making him upset, and he doesn't know what to do
Just when Zhang Xiaofan was upset and was thinking whether to tell Master about Bi Yao, Tian Buyi suddenly stopped and turned around. Zhang Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat, and he also stopped. I saw that this place is already deep in the woods, there is no one around, and the ancient trees are dense, except for the faint chirping of birds in the distance, there is no other sound.
Tian Buyi looked him up and down, and said expressionlessly, "You've been drenched in the rain all night, are you healthy?"
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head, said in a low voice: "The disciple deserves what he deserves, it doesn't matter."
Tian Buyi snorted, and said: "You say it easily, but do you hate me in your heart?"
Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback, his originally pale face became even paler, he said urgently: "Master, I, I never had that kind of thought, this is what I deserve, I dare not blame Master."
Tian Buyi looked at the little disciple in front of him who had been neglected by him the most these years, saw the anxious expression on his face, the corner of his mouth moved, sighed, and the expression on his face became gentler.
"Okay! There is no one around now, do you have anything to say to me?"
Zhang Xiaofan's heart tightened, he wondered if Master already knew about Baguio. Now the relationship between Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio is quite delicate, last night when Baguio came, he was even more afraid of being known by the elders of the various divisions, could it be...
He was thinking wildly, but Tian Buyi was a little impatient, seeing that he had been silent all this time, he said: "I ask you, why did you suddenly treat your elder brother like that yesterday?"
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, realized that Master was not referring to Baguio's matter, so he was relieved. But then he couldn't speak again, he couldn't say that he lost his mind because he saw Tian Linger and Qi Hao together? What's more, even he himself couldn't explain clearly, what was that strange evil spirit that controlled his emotions for a moment
Tian Buyi waited for a long time, saw that Zhang Xiaofan was still speechless, suddenly sneered, and said: "You are dissatisfied because you saw Linger and Qihao's intimacy together?"
Zhang Xiaofan turned pale with shock, only felt a loud buzzing in his head, and the whole person stayed in place. The matter of his unrequited love for Tian Linger in private was originally one of his deepest secrets, and he had never told anyone about it. Unexpectedly, at this moment, he was suddenly told coldly by his most awe-inspiring master. The huge thunder that shakes the ground still shakes the soul.
For a moment, he could barely move, he didn't even have the strength to deny it, he just looked at Tian Buyi, opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a word.
