Chapter Thirty-Nine
But he said that the scholar left the examination room and returned home like an arrow, and led the donkey out of the city. Unexpectedly, the weather was not good, and it was halfway through the journey, when a thunderous sound came raining.
The scholar himself is good at the rain, but a box of books is extremely precious. Just as he was anxious, he looked at a small pavilion in front of him. The scholar was overjoyed and hurriedly led the donkey to shelter the rain.
When he arrived at the pavilion, the scholar took off the bookcase from the donkey and put it in the middle of the pavilion. He then breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and sat down.
However, this time I turned around, I almost scared him to death - there was a person standing quietly outside the pavilion behind him!
It was not a surprise to the scholar. He walked alone all the way. After bent down to carry a bookcase, the man arrived behind him, as if he fell straight from the sky.
The spring was chilly, but the man was only wearing a thin black shirt, which was soaked in the rain. His figure was tall, like a pine-clad black cloth wrapped in.
Seeing the scholar turn around, he nodded and greeted him, took off his hat and twisted his wet hair, and asked the scholar to see his face clearly: thin lips, high nose bridge, thin cheeks, and long and bright eyes embedded under his sword eyebrows.
A thumb-sized light red pattern extends from the corners of the eye.
Extraordinary, handsome, agile, proud, calm, cold-hearted—
"Wait a minute, why is this section so detailed?" Pei Ye couldn't help but interrupt. He remembered that the brushwork of "Qingluan in the Mirror" was very concise, and he only added a little to the important points.
Zhang Siche glanced at him: "Do you talk or I talk?"
"You talk."
"This is the first appearance of the hero Xi Wu Qiu. If you don't have more details, how can you understand his heroic appearance? Do you know that with the hero Xi's ability, you can't touch the body without rain. This is because I was afraid that the scholar would be scared and deliberately.
Wet in the rain…”
Pei Ye now understood, and it turned out to be the person he liked, so he said, "No need to say this, you can just say whatever he writes."
Zhang Siche rolled his eyes and continued, "In short, the scholar was shocked by this look..."
The scholar and the man were under the rain sheltering pavilion. The man held the sword and leaned against the pillar. He looked cold and lonely. The scholar did not dare to talk to him and just sat quietly.
However, the man took the initiative to ask him to help him read a small note. The scholar hurriedly took it over. It was an ancient text, and the words and word order were very ancient. The scholar read it several times before he realized that the text was describing a place.
.
However, the scholar still finds it difficult to understand where it refers. There is only one sentence "Ghost Car Goes North". He can easily see that the ancient name of Kuiju Mountain beside his town seems to be "Ghost Car Mountain", and from this
The mountain "down north" is the direction of one's own town.
But the remaining sentences have to be found in the local scholars and read them through ancient books and carefully researched them to be interpreted.
The scholar told the truth that the man wanted to thank the scholar with a piece of jade, but the scholar thought it was expensive and refused to accept it. Seeing that the rain continued, the two started talking and chatting.
The scholar originally thought that the man was a practitioner who studied martial arts deeply and did not ask about other things, but after talking, he was surprised by his erudition.
The man who was familiar with literature, books, music, chess, kitchen, wood and stone, architecture, horse identification, jade recognition, etc., was completely amazed by the scholar.
The scholar couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. Even if he was a juren, he had only some attainments in reading the scriptures and writing. In comparison, he was the kind of foolish scholar.
The man said that he was also a perfect and crude person. All of this knowledge came from a knowledgeable friend. Later, his friend died and left many book notes. He often read it because he missed his friend.
When the conversation became excited, the man took out a pot of wine, and the two of them drank and chatted. The scholar revealed all the hardships of his life, the ambitions in his heart, the feelings of the beauty, and the uneasiness in his heart.
The man listened quietly, obviously with extraordinary experience. No matter what the scholar said, he could point out a few words from a high level.
In this way, they communicated their names and formed a friendship. When they separated, the man said that he saw the shadow of the friend from the scholar. After two days, he came to him to drink and talk.
Before leaving, a true energy was shot in. The scholar immediately woke up and felt refreshed. Looking around, he saw no trace of black clothes.
Zhang Siche stopped talking at this point.
"Continue." Pei Ye was still unhappy.
"It's your turn." Zhang Siche looked at the door, where a blood shadow walked in.
Pei Ye raised his head and heard the man in black robe say in a cold voice: "【Twenty-one】win, the next group【Twenty-three】,【Twenty-four】."
A huge shadow stood up deep in the stone cellar. It was a strong man about two meters tall. Pei Ye had noticed him before, but after he stood up, he revealed the whole picture of his body.
He had thick skin, wide hands and feet, hard tendons, and large pieces of original totem tattooed on his body... He walked over and smiled grimly at Pei Ye, revealing two sharp tiger teeth.
The deserted man.
Pei Ye sighed silently and stood up.
"Let's listen again when you come back." Zhang Siche's face covered in red scars grinned.
...
Pei Ye walked out of the stone cellar and had the first chance to see the appearance of this valley.
Although the night is already dark, the moon is bright and the stars are covered with stars. Under the bright light, the high cliffs on both sides are concave and convex, and they are sometimes sharply protruding.
As the valley was long but not wide, Pei Ye raised his head and felt like he was in the mouth of a giant dog.
There were fewer people outside than Pei Ye imagined, and only occasionally saw scattered black robes. Pei Ye even suspected that there were more people entering the cave than the rest.
However, it is reasonable. Firstly, Zhushi Cult has no room to vigorously develop believers, and secondly, those who enter the cave - besides themselves and Zhang Siche - do not need to be detained.
But when the hazy mountain shadow turned around, the scene behind us came into view, Pei Ye opened his eyes wide and suspected that he might have thought it was wrong - maybe, there were still many people.
If the valley was a dog's mouth, the scene in front of me would be pounded into it by a hammer.
The dog's teeth were broken and fell off, and the sand and gravel that was flowing was like blood rushing.
The Zhushi Cult once set up elevated mounts here and supported the camp tents, but now everything has been ruthlessly destroyed by unknown forces. It can be seen that the center of that force is not these buildings or rocks, they are just by the way.
Walking further forward, the scene of Pei Ye's heart and lungs stopping, and a corpse was parked next to the ruins. Even though it was stained with blood, the color of the robe was still so prominent.
It is the mysterious Youzun Zi.
This scene flashed through the field of vision, and Pei Ye was full of thoughts. Before he could think about what kind of blow he had suffered here, the man in black robe who led the way had stopped and a venue appeared in front of him.
The two of them had high blue flames rising around, forming a neat circle.
The fire talisman that had not been seen for several days was drawn on the ground in the middle of the circle, so huge that it filled the entire site.
In the sky in the middle of the field, a dark blue and nearly purple light bead floated. The remaining blood left by the battle was still precipitating out of the dust in strands, and then flew into the light bead.
