Yu Hongchen

Chapter 123

This trip meant floating at sea for seven full months.Qifeng Valley is on the north side of Beilu, far away from Nanling. Xie Liuchen gave up on the nearest coast, sought far away, and flew around Beilu before finally finding his way to Nanling. The journey was far more than One hundred thousand miles.Coupled with the wind and rain on the road, the strong winds and huge waves disrupted the direction of progress, causing them to deviate from the original track several times, and landed on the most extensive land of Central Continent by mistake several times, and even went overseas many times. A lot of time.

He and Danwu exchanged every other day, either Danwu turned into a beast and carried him to fly, or he carried Danwu's sword and walked, and when one flew, the other took the opportunity to rest and recover his true energy.

The climate at sea is very different from that on land, sometimes it is stormy, sometimes it is sunny, sometimes it is warm, and sometimes it is cold.In front of me and behind me, in the sky and on the ground, there is a vast expanse of white water in front of my eyes. After looking at it for a long time, I feel that it doesn't look like water anymore.

In March of the next year, when the grass grows in Nanling and warblers fly, they finally got rid of the half-year sea rafting trip and set foot on the solid land of Nanling.

At first, Xie Liuchen thought that the two of them were the same as in the past, boarded an unknown overseas land, and waited for Danwu to walk through the green grass, bypass the red and white flowers, and climb to the top of the gloomy mountain Seeing the endless smoke from human kitchens in the distance, I finally believed that I had returned to Nanling.

At that moment, his heart was almost ecstatic, his body trembled heavily, he wished he could leave all his scruples far away, and hurried back to Qiushuimen to see Senior Brother Shang.

But Fang took a step and stopped suddenly.He thought, now is not an opportunity, at least, he has to wait until he sends Dan Wu back to the mortal world, and then think about how to explain Qi Huan and Feng Guiyun to Senior Brother Shang.If Brother Shang knew that his two sworn brothers died for him, would he never forgive himself again?

Thinking of this, most of the joy disappeared, and he carried Danwu down the mountain with a sad face.Danwu in his arms noticed his ups and downs, and asked, "Brother, are you unhappy?"

Xie Liuchen shook his head, nodded again, pursed his lips and said, "Very happy, but not happy."

Dan Wu blinked: "Why? My brother should be happy when he comes home."

"Going home..." Xie Liuchen read these words blankly, looking at a place in the cloud and mist, suddenly, he stopped in a daze, and a layer of mist filled his eyes.

Dan Wu probed his head and asked, "Brother, what are you looking at?" Climbing up and down in his stiff arms, he asked in confusion, "Huh? There are many tall buildings over there, where is that?"

Xie Liuchen said: "That's the Qiushui Gate." From a distance, the tower stands tall, with green willows supporting the embankment, it is the plain where the Qiushui Gate is located.

Danwu repeated: "Qiushuimen?" Then asked: "Is that my brother's house?"

Xie Liuchen smiled wryly and said, "It's my home, but, does this home welcome me back?"

Dan Wu didn't understand: "Why don't you welcome them? You can meet your family when you go home." He lived with the orcs since he was a child, just like relatives. In his young mind, he naturally regarded the concept of family as Very heavy.

Xie Liuchen let out a long sigh: "If only it were that easy..."

Danwu couldn't understand his happy and worried mood, pretended to imitate him and sighed, curious about his "home" in his heart, looked in that direction a few times, blinked, and suddenly said: "Hey ! Brother, look quickly! There is a person standing there!" He has excellent eyesight, and can accurately capture subtle figures from such a long distance.

Xie Liuchen's hands holding him suddenly tightened, and suddenly felt that there was a weight on the top of his head, he didn't dare to raise his head, and asked in a trembling voice: "What... does he look like?"

Danwu observed carefully for a while, and said: "He is tall, dressed in black, with a straight body, and... holding a strange wooden stick in his hand."

After listening to his description, Xie Liuchen had no doubts that it was indeed Shang Lixing.He didn't dare to stop any longer, he hurried down the mountain and ran towards the opposite direction of Qiushuimen.

Dan Wu leaned on his chest, bumped and swayed with him all the way, wrinkled his face and said: "Brother, your heart beats so fast!"

Xie Liuchen hurried down the mountain, his mixed thoughts were disturbed by his rapid breathing, he stopped, realized that he was a monk who could wield a sword, summoned the Xiuming Sword, and wobbled into the air.

Along the way, even the voice was trembling: "Just now... did you see clearly what that person was doing?"

Dan Wu shook his head and said: "I don't know, he is standing at the door with his back to us, I don't know what he is looking at."

Xie Liuchen was startled again, and thought: "He is waiting for me to go back, he is waiting for me to go back..." In fact, he shouldn't have this kind of thought. There are so many things to do in Shanglihang, so how could he stay in Qiushui so leisurely? Waiting for him at the door?But when he heard that Shang Lixing was standing at the door, his first thought was that he was waiting for him to go back, and he firmly believed in this idea.

Dan Wu tilted his head to look at him, very puzzled: "Brother Xiaochen, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Liuchen touched his little face, and said with a bitter face: "Brother did something that I'm sorry for him, and now I don't have the face to see him."

"who is he?"

"He's mine—" Xie Liuchen was speechless, and felt that it was inappropriate to say such a thing in front of children, so he changed the subject and said, "Forget it, you don't understand, why are you telling me this?"

He carried Danwu down the mountain, walked up the mountain road, and came to a mortal town in a daze.The town was full of people coming and going, and it was very lively.The afternoon sun shone warmly on his body, and the red wine streamers, green tile walls, and pink flower tips that had just emerged were all covered with a layer of dazzling white without exception, making his eyes dazzled.He looked at everything strangely, as if he had returned to ten years ago.

This is real fireworks.

Dango was more curious than he was.As soon as he entered the city, he saw the dazzling array of items, his eyes were fixed on them, and he didn't move.His eyes were full of curiosity, he put aside the question just now, struggled to jump off Xie Liuchen's arms, ran up and down the street, and finally squatted down in front of a stall.

Seeing that Xie Liuchen was still looking around blankly, he jumped up, waved his hands, and shouted: "Brother, brother!"

The yelling was louder than the yelling, which attracted the attention of passers-by.

Xie Liuchen didn't listen, he just stared blankly at the bustling world of mortals, feeling that the joys and sorrows of the world were so close to him at this moment.

Dan Wu waited for a long time to see the call, then he walked slowly through the crowd and tightened his hand.As the Beastmaster, his strength is definitely not comparable to that of a seven or eight year old child. Xie Liuchen's wrists were red from being pulled, and he was dragged away helplessly.

He pulled him to a pastry vendor, pointed at the hot pastry, and said, "Brother, what do you think this is? It's the same as what we smelled on the mountain!"

I saw a layer of oil paper on the booth, and on the paper was a layer of delicate pastries, made into a peach blossom shape, crimson in color, and exuding a sweet fragrance.Xie Liuchen scratched his head, and said with some confusion: "I don't know, it seems to be edible."

The old street vendor laughed and said: "My little brother, you haven't seen it before, this is a peach blossom cake, the peach blossoms picked in March are used as ingredients, drained and dried, smashed into flour, made into a peach blossom shape, and has a peach blossom fragrance. Brother, do you want to try it?"

Dan Wu hurriedly said: "I want it! I want it!"

Xie Liuchen said with a dull face: "Little Danwu, didn't I say that before? The things made by mortals have too many impurities, so if you can't eat them, you don't eat them."

Danwu tugged at the hem of his clothes and begged, "Brother, I've never eaten this kind of thing before, let me eat it once!"

Xie Liuchen said with a dull face: "No." Just as he was about to turn around, his sleeves tightened, but it was Dan Wu who tightly grasped the corner of his clothes, looking at him with those clear water-like eyes, which were full of pleading .

Xie Liuchen couldn't resist him, so he had to buy him a copy and said, "Just this time, you are not allowed to eat outside food casually in the future."

Danwu held the peach blossom cake wrapped so that a small mouth was exposed, bit out a small piece, held it in his mouth, and licked it contentedly, not caring about his admonition at all.

Xie Liuchen picked him up again and walked in the direction of the crowd.After turning this street, there is another street, which is not inferior to the bustling one. There are women with green skirts at the temples, who are drinking wine, and the fragrance of the wine wafts for ten miles; The upper pennant fluttered in the wind, rustling.

At that time, the mortal dynasties did not know where to change, and mortals lived and worked in peace and contentment, and lived a prosperous life, so these folk activities increased.The costumes and clothes of the people you meet on the road are also different. What you can see is a scene of prosperity, with great stability in the mountains and rivers, and the grand occasion of peace in the world.

"Brother, take a bite too." Xie Liuchen was fascinated by the sight, and was awakened by the food that was stuffed into his mouth, and found that Danwu stuffed a small piece of peach blossom cake into his mouth. He chewed the food in his mouth carefully, and admired in his heart: "It's so beautiful..."

The world is so beautiful.

At night, there are lights and streamers beside the bridge, and the river lotus blooms like stars in the sky, which is even more beautiful.Dan Wu stared at it all day, and it was also bright all day, begging him all the time: "Brother, brother, can we stay here?"

He was greedy for the prosperity of the world and refused to leave, Xie Liuchen couldn't bear his begging, so he lived in this town for another three to five days.It was not until the morning of the fourth day that I left here holding Danwu, who had a round belly.

When we arrived at the next town, it was another scene of prosperity.The two were nostalgic for it, and gradually slowed down their steps.Xie Liuchen has a young heart, and Danwu is an ignorant child who has only been transformed into a human body for only half a year. The two changed into mortal clothes and outfits, went to restaurants to eat and drink every day, cultivated a mortal wildness, and completely abandoned the way of cultivation.After more than half a month, they spent all the silver taels left on their bodies. In order to eat more good food, Dan Wu even sneaked out of the inn to pawn the gold collar around his neck, but was followed by Xie Liuchen found out, strictly prohibited.

He learned from the painful experience and thought that he could no longer indulge in this way, otherwise he would also fall down along with him.Gritting her teeth, regardless of Danwu's sobbing and struggling that day, she forcibly hugged him and left the town.They stop and go, passing by the bustling and dreamlike mortal world.Ten days later, they came to a desolate suburb outside the city, walked through the vast mountains and forests, and finally reached the mountain village where Zhoujia Village was located.

I fell to the gate of the village along the route I remembered when I was a child. I saw rotten wood and rotten branches at the gate of the village. There were two or three gray sparrows parked on the gate rail. A crooked plaque hung at the sparrow's feet, vaguely written "Zhoujiacun" three characters.Walking all the way in, I saw that the fence was sparse, chickens, ducks and geese were running around, dropping yellow excrement on the ground, three or two domestic dogs were fighting for a piece of bloody bone, saw a stranger entering the village, and retreated behind a tile-roofed house. Barking endlessly.At that time, the mortal world was in a time of peace and prosperity, and most of the mortals moved to live in the city. Except for a few woodcutters who made their living by chopping firewood, few lived at the foot of the mountain, so the Zhoujia Village was sparsely populated and dilapidated.

Dan Wu looked left and right and said, "Brother Xiaochen, where is this?"

Xie Liuchen walked along the hut in his memory, and said, "Mortal world, Zhou Family Village, where I grew up."

Danwu muttered the words "Zhoujiacun", leaned on his back, stood on tiptoe, and looked at the desolate scenery around him curiously.

The sky was bright and the sun was shining, and along the way, I didn't see many people.The more you walk in, the more childhood memories come to mind, as clear as yesterday.Xie Liuchen stepped on the familiar land and returned to the old place when he was a child. If he felt something, he said quietly: "The former Beastmaster is nostalgic for this place, and he suddenly realized the joy of being a human being. I hope you can live here for a while and be contaminated by the fireworks of the world. grow into a good boy." He looked at the person in his arms and asked in a low voice, "Shall we live in Zhoujia Village for a while?"

Dan Wu had long been attracted by the mortal world of flowers, flowers, willows and greenery, and nodded upon hearing this: "Okay."
