Chapter 270 You are sorry! Condolences to your family!
Nightmare, endless nightmare, Zhang Xiaofan woke up from the nightmare but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
The lights and shadows of half a month ago are vivid in my mind. Every time I close my eyes, I seem to see the village burning with raging fire, and the scene along the path at the entrance of the village like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
More than 40 families, more than 200 people, big and small, men and women, were lying on the open ground, their bodies were stiff, and they were corpses, blood flowed like a river, flies flew around, and the smell of blood rushed to their faces.
Zhang Xiaofan panted heavily, sat up from the bed, only to find that his whole body was soaked in sweat, the cold wind of the night slipped into the room through the crack of the window, and a thin layer of chicken skin appeared on his sticky skin.
Going to the courtyard and pouring two buckets of cold water, the beating heart was calmed down. Turning to look at the vast sea of clouds and the boundless starry sky, the peak of Dazhufeng is like an isolated island in the ocean, making people feel helpless .
"Mother! Don't!"
Different nightmares, the same awakening, thousands of miles away in the Ghost King's Clan, Bi Yao suddenly sat up, crouched on the incense couch with a pale face, her drooping hair was wet with sweat, and stuck to her forehead and sides. Baguio fiddled with her face along her cheeks and touched her lips in panic, as if she had returned to that dark burrow. Some things that she didn't understand at the time at the age of six had turned into despair and tormented her all the time. .
"Yao'er, what's the matter? Did you have a nightmare again last night?"
Early the next morning, when he was saying hello to his mother, Xiao Chi saw that Baguio's complexion was not good at a glance, took her hand and pulled her to him, and said softly, "Those things are over, don't worry about it anymore." I feel guilty and blame myself for this, any mother in the world would make the same decision in the face of the situation at that time.”
The little chi was stroking the top of Baguio's head while talking, the gentle palms carried a reassuring warmth, Baguio squinted her eyes and snuggled up on the little chi's lap, like a kitten, reluctantly rubbing against her. Rubbing the back of his mother's hand, he murmured, "Will I do it too?"
After Baguio finished speaking, her confusion disappeared, her clear eyes regained their agility, and a firm look flashed in her eyes.
After having breakfast with her mother, Baguio returned to the bamboo house where Zhou Ji and Si Teng lived before. This is another place where she can feel at ease besides her mother.
Walking along the bamboo forest path, Baguio's footsteps became more and more brisk, but she didn't know that she was outside the main hall in the distance. It was not until she left from the little idiot that thousands of people walked out of the main hall. She looked at her leaving figure with a complicated expression until she disappeared in the At the end of the bamboo grove, just now he sighed softly and walked towards the woman in the flower garden.
Ever since Xiaochi and Baguio encountered an ambush, Wanwan has been sending people to monitor the movement of Tianyin Temple. In the morning, I just received a report from the eyeliner, saying that there was a fierce fight between the evil monk Pu Zhixiang of Tianyin Temple and the people from the Blood Refining Hall , although I don't know what the result will be, but it seems that something has been taken from them, and they are heading towards Heyang City, and it looks like they are going to visit Qingyunmen.
If it was just news like this, there was no need for him to go to the hall to meet the summoner in person.
In the final analysis, he was actually avoiding Baguio. Even after six years of getting along, even if Xiao Chi’s body had returned to normal, that incident still stuck in everyone’s heart like a thorn.
Every time I touch it, I feel a dull pain.
So, his feelings for Baguio are quite complicated, and Baguio treats him as well.
Four years later, as Baguio tied her hair and put hairpins under her mother's dressing, Xiao Chi finally returned to Baguio the makeup box that Si Teng left her.
Because of the formation and the prohibition, the contents of the box remained as they were then. Baguio looked at these shiny treasures with bright eyes.
She has been coveting these beauty products for a long time. Although Si Teng warned her to wait until later before putting on makeup, she didn't say that she couldn't paint for others.
So, in these years, she imitated a lot of beauty products by imitating gourds, and every day she pulled the maids beside her to practice, and even the little idiot occasionally acted as a temporary model.
After learning that his daughter learned these things from Si Teng as a teacher, Wan Wan often couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded.
In recent days, other sects of the Holy Cult seem to be showing signs of gathering at Kongsang Mountain. Naturally, people have heard of Ten Thousand Bats being the suzerain of the Ghost King Sect. Eight hundred years ago, the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave was a branch of the Holy Cult that "refined blood." The main hall of the hall was located. At that time, the Blood Refining Hall was powerful and one of the five major forces of the Devil's Cult. However, after being defeated by the righteous people, it fell into a slump, and the ancient cave of ten thousand bats was also abandoned.
In recent years, the Blood Refining Hall, which has been in decline for a long time, seems to be on the rise again. In the battle of Wanbat Ancient Cave, the Blood Refining Hall was completely defeated, and the inheritance was almost cut off. Inside the cave, there is also a very secret hidden treasure cave, which contains the rare treasures handed down by the black-hearted old man. Although thousands of people can't confirm whether this rumor is true.
But thinking of the evil monk Puzhi four years ago, it was because of the conflict with the Blood Refining Hall that he seemed to be carrying some rare treasure to Qingyun Mountain, and died in Tianyin Temple shortly after returning to Tianyin Temple.
This makes it difficult for thousands of people not to wonder whether this ancient cave of ten thousand bats really contains secrets that even the Holy Cult does not know.
After thinking about it, Wan Wan looked at the map of China spread out in front of him, frowned slightly, and sent someone to call You Ji and Bi Yao.
Not long after, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside the hall. Ten thousand people looked up, their frowns eased a little, they sighed softly, and a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths.
On the other side, after Qingyunmen's "Qimai Martial Arts Contest", Zhang Xiaofan, Qihao, Zeng Shushu, and Lu Xueqi also received orders from the master's school to go to the Wanbat Ancient Cave to investigate the truth of the Demon Cult's changes.
From Qingyunmen to Heyang City, on this road, the four most 'outstanding' disciples of Qingyunmen came here with swords, others are easy and at ease, but Zhang Xiaofan can't help but have some difficulty, his cultivation is not deep, for new students Qingyun's Taoism is also quite unfamiliar, and the four of them didn't reach Heyang City until the sun went down in a short half-day journey.
Zeng Shushu often slipped down the mountain to play, and introduced Heyang City like a treasure, seeing that it was getting late, Qihao glanced at Zeng Shushu who was muttering beside him, smiled slightly, and said to Lu Xueqi beside him: "Junior Sister Lu, It's getting late, we'll spend the night here tonight, let's go on our way tomorrow!"
Lu Xueqi's face was as cold as ice, without the slightest expression, she just nodded lightly.
The four of them came to live in an inn called Shanhaiyuan. The inn built its own restaurant and was located on the busiest street in Heyang City. There were four other gardens in the back garden. The four of them lived in Xiyuan. After going back to a room for a rest, Qi Hao called everyone together and went to the front restaurant for dinner.
During the dinner, Baguio heard Xiao Er introducing various dishes to the four people at the neighboring table, and when she mentioned Meiyu, she couldn't help but sneered, and said softly, "This Meiyu is a special product of Zhugou Mountain in the south. It's thousands of miles away, how can it be shipped here, isn't your store a liar?"
After speaking, his eyes swept over Zhang Xiaofan and others, and his eyes fell on the cold woman in white clothes who was snow-covered, and couldn't help but take another look.
The waiter of the shop immediately smiled and explained that the head of Daoxuan passed by Zhugou Mountain and moved Meiyu back to Hongchuan in the Yin of Qingyun Mountain. Qi Hao Zeng Shushu and they all looked complacent and smiled when they heard this.
Biyao snorted coquettishly, exchanged glances with You Ji beside her, sat back, and did not refute anything.
After dinner, Zhang Xiaofan followed Qi Hao and the others back to the residence in the backyard, looking at Senior Brother Qi Hao who had been running around all day under the setting sun, his expression was not inferior to that of the past, and he even looked a bit out of the world, Zhang Xiaofan's eyes darkened, suddenly Somewhat disheartened, he reluctantly greeted Zeng Shushu, then walked back to the room on his own.
In the middle of the night, I finally fell asleep in a daze, but was awakened by the nightmare again.
After adjusting the breath, Zhang Xiaofan got up and pushed open the door, and came to the courtyard with a dazed expression.
Walking along the path, the breeze was blowing on his face, and there was a scent of flowers in the coolness. By the time he realized it, he had come to the courtyard in the center of the inn.
Beside the road, a small flower trembled in the night wind, there were crystal dewdrops, attached to the pink and white petals, exquisite and translucent, Zhang Xiaofan stopped walking, he was stunned to see it.
A faint fragrance came from the side.
"Do you also like looking at flowers?"
Zhang Xiaofan woke up suddenly, turned his head to look at the side, at this moment, a slender hand reached out in front of his eyes, a young girl in water green clothes stood there, as if attracting the light from the sky, and folded the flower Little Hua'er, gently put the flower in front of her nose, smiling sweetly.
However, what responded to her bright smile was an embarrassment, with a hint of annoyed reproach. The cowardly looking young man in front of him frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "This flower is blooming well, why are you Are you going to break it?"
Baguio couldn't help but feel a little astonished, her bright eyes swirled around Zhang Xiaofan's body like water.
Her mother is one such person.
On weekdays, when I see a flower, I can be foolish, and I don’t even pay attention to the butterflies that fall on my body.
Just now I saw Zhang Xiaofan wandering alone in the courtyard, Baguio didn't pay much attention at first.
But when she saw this ordinary boy who looked like he came from a mountain village, like an idiot, he stopped in front of a small flower and stared at it obsessively.
In Baguio's eyes, this young man attracted the light of the sky and attracted her attention deeply.
However, with Baguio's temperament, how could it be easy for others to blame the master, playing with the flower in his hand, and said with a smile: "I picked this flower, it is the blessing of this flower; it is even more so if I smell its fragrance. The fate cultivated by Hua III. How can you, a layman, know?"
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, it was the first time in his life that he heard such absurd thing, he shook his head and said: "This flower is broken by you, even if you lose your life, how can you be happy?"
Baguio smiled even more, and said softly: "You are not a flower, how do you know it won't be happy?"
Zhang Xiaofan heard that the woman's words were very unreasonable, and he was even more angry in his heart, he said: "You are not a flower, how do you know it will be happy, maybe this flower is in pain right now, ah! Look, then There is water in the flowers, so I might just cry out in pain."
flower tears
flower tears
Baguio was taken aback when he heard the words, looked at the little flower in his hand with a complicated expression, and whispered, "Hualei. Mother also said similar things."
Since she got out of trouble, she has always felt guilty towards her mother. Once she saw that her mother liked a small flower very much, she broke off the flower stem and handed it to her mother like a treasure.
Mother was caressing the top of her head and said the same words, but unfortunately she was only seven years old at that time and didn't understand the meaning. Now when she heard Zhang Xiaofan mention it again, it was as if her heartstrings were twitching, causing ripples.
"I'm sorry."
Seeing the dimmed eyes of the woman in front of him, coupled with the murmur, the resentment in Zhang Xiaofan's heart dissipated in an instant, thinking of his own life experience, suddenly a kind of sympathetic sadness welled up in his heart.
Can't help but sigh softly, subconsciously wanted to comfort the other party, stretched out his hand halfway before feeling inappropriate, Zhang Xiaofan hesitated and took it back, and said with a heavy look of pity, "Please give me my condolences."
"Sorrow? Why are you sad?" Baguio looked at Zhang Xiaofan's melancholy eyes, couldn't help being stunned, and asked in doubt.
Looking at Bi Yao who was full of doubts, Zhang Xiaofan was also taken aback, "Isn't your mother not here?"
"Your mother is gone! Your whole family is gone!" Bi Yao's eyelids twitched, her originally delicate and pretty face was instantly flushed red with anger, one hand pointed at Zhang Xiaofan's nose and trembled slightly, like a bomb The furry kitten stamped its feet angrily.
Zhang Xiaofan realized that there was a big oolong, embarrassing, he quickly apologized to Baguio, the more anxious he was, the more stupid he didn't know what to say, he could only keep saying sorry with a guilty face.
Baguio naturally knew that this was all a misunderstanding. Seeing the sincerity and guilt in his eyes, she burst out laughing, "Okay, I know you didn't mean it, so you don't need to apologize~"
Seeing that Baguio forgave himself, Zhang Xiaofan heaved a sigh of relief, looked up at the smile on Baguio's face, the moonlight was like water, lightly sprinkled on her shoulders and face, reflecting the soul-stirring beauty.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't know when, but he got a little crazy watching it.
When Baguio found that Zhang Xiaofan was staring at her, he lifted the corner of his skirt and spun around in a circle, leaned forward with his hands behind his back, and said with a light smile, "Do I look good?"
Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback by her leaning forward, like a thief being caught by someone, he felt very embarrassed, but under the soft eyes of the other party, there was a feeling that there was nowhere to escape, "I...you... Uh, you look good!"
As soon as the words came out, Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a while, and an inexplicable strange feeling floated in his heart.
"That's natural!"
Regarding Zhang Xiaofan's reaction, Bi Yao nodded in satisfaction, raised her chin, looked him up and down, and circled around him twice, seeing that Zhang Xiaofan was at a loss, when she was even more embarrassed, Bi Yao just said, "Look carefully Come on, your foundation is not bad, if you tidy up well, you should be quite handsome."
handsome?
Zhang Xiaofan's eyes darkened, and the scene of Tian Linger and Qi Hao standing side by side emerged in his mind, not only unwilling, but also a little ashamed.
