Yushui Night Walk

After Ling Yun treated the wound on Xuan Ming's back, he saw that Xuan Ming was fiddling with the silver thread in his hand as if nothing happened, as if it was a little finer than last time.

The sutures were a waste of eyes and brains, Ling Yun was exhausted after a day of tossing, and felt dizzy when he saw this thread, so he simply slapped it apart, and it was invisible to the eye.

"It's far away, let's continue practicing." Ling Yun said, "You still have the energy to twist the hemp rope here? You are also a monster."

"Monster?" Xuanming heard this, and there was a hint of a smile in his words, "Then what kind of monster do you think?"

"Eel?" Ling Yun pinched his brows, "Since you have so much energy, let's go down the mountain and enter the city."

After finishing speaking, Ling Yun walked a few steps towards the mountain pass, and pointed in a direction by the afterglow of the setting sun, "After leaving this village, there is a small town in the southwest, where all the autumn collections in nearby mountain villages are located. Can it work?"

"I'm fine." Xuan Ming replied, "Actually, I'm more worried about your situation."

Ling Yun ignored him and walked towards the valley.

Although the two of them are not in good condition, their footsteps are always much faster than that of the bullock cart.When we arrived near the small town, the lanterns at the city gate had not been lit for a long time.There are many trucks queuing up and down the road to enter the gate. In addition, there are also farmers going to the market or passing travelers. It is estimated that the journey was delayed by the heavy rain and they did not arrive before sunset.

Xuanming also squeezed into the crowd and wandered into the city.Ling Yun disappeared when he approached the city gate, saying that he asked Xuan Ming to go to the lodging by himself, and he would look for it later.This is also the reason Xuan Ming thinks about, his night clothes don't look like he can see the light.

So Xuan Ming randomly found an inn.The waiter in the shop took the money, enthusiastically arranged a spacious room for him, brought him a pot of good tea, and then asked, "Master, you have worked hard all the way, do you need a girl to take care of you?"

"No need." Xuan Ming wiped his forehead and remembered something.

"Okay, I'll get you a basin of water." Xiaoer yelled, and went downstairs with a rag.

As soon as Xuanming entered the room and sat down, before he had a sip of tea, he heard someone knock on the window, and then there was a "click", and the window lock fell down.A figure turned into the room, and two medicine bottles were thrown on the table.

This person is naturally Ling Yun, who has already changed into light-colored linen clothes at this time, and looks like a good citizen.

Xuanming glanced at Ling Yun, then at the exquisite medicine bottle on the table, "Baichuangu's wound medicine, it's expensive."

Ling Yun didn't answer, and threw a red kit on the table.

Xuan Ming coughed awkwardly, then turned his head to look at the door and stopped talking.

"Master, your hot water is here!"

Just at this time, the half-covered door was pushed open, Xiao Er was holding a water basin with a smile on his face, and a coat in his hand.

However, seeing the scene in the room, the smile froze.

"My lord...use it slowly." Xiaoer put down the basin, smiled and slipped out of the door, and helped close the door before leaving.

"Do you need to serve?" Ling Yun raised his eyebrows.

"No need." Xuan Ming quickly replied. "Do you need a break?"

This time Ling Yun was not polite, he directly pulled a chair and sat down, leaning his head against the wall and closing his eyes.His breath gradually calmed down, as if he had fallen asleep.

Xuan Ming looked at Ling Yun and felt that this scene was a bit fresh.

After running around together for a few days, he didn't see this person really resting.Usually it is to lean or sit with eyes closed, adjust breath, and continue on the road after a while.The mood of hurrying on the road is beyond words.

Today... probably really consumed too much energy.

Xuan Ming shook his head, tore off the blood-adhered clothes, and wiped off the mud on his body.

Under Ling Yun's emergency treatment, Xuanming's wound has gradually begun to heal.For him, this little flesh injury will be fine within two days, and the wound medicine is not so necessary.But now that they are all here, Xuan Ming simply sprinkles some medicine to restore his combat power as soon as possible.After all, there is no guarantee that there will be no more incidents in the future.

However, why did Ling Yun deliberately take him into the city?It can't be just to supplement the medicine, right?

Xuan Ming was thinking about it, when a voice suddenly sounded behind him, which startled him.

"It's the first time I've seen someone go out without medicine."

Xuan Ming turned his head and saw Ling Yun was looking at him with half-opened eyes, looking a little out of spirits.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Xuan Ming took a breath and asked pretending to be innocent.But in my heart I think you are not the same.

Ling Yun shook his head slightly, and rubbed his temples with his fingers, still feeling uncomfortable.Then he mobilized his spiritual consciousness and began to adjust his breath.

When sleeping, the mind is calm and the spiritual consciousness does not move.If the spiritual consciousness does not actively stimulate the spiritual power, the disordered spiritual power in the body will automatically return to its place.In various senses, taking a nap is much less labor-intensive than adjusting your own breath.

But Ling Yun knew very well that his heart was very noisy, his spiritual consciousness could not be calm, and it was useless to sleep.

Seeing that he was adjusting his breath, Xuan Ming didn't intend to bother him, but Ling Yun started talking to him again.

"Don't bring medicine with you in the future. Medication is a waste of your recovery speed."

"Fortunately, the injury is not deep." Xuanming nodded indifferently, but suddenly thought of another thing, "Look at you, it seems that there is no injury?"

In fact, not to mention the injuries, Ling Yun's whole body was not even covered with mud.

Xuanming pondered for a moment, but decided to ask the question he had always wanted to ask.

Although he didn't want to interrupt the atmosphere between the two of them, it was rare to relax a little, but after all, this was the purpose of his coming here.

"Humans live by eating plants and trees, and die by turning into sand and soil. Therefore, they can control trees to plant and control soil to create things." Xuan Ming opened his mouth thinking.

Ling Yun didn't answer, but he didn't intend to interrupt either.

"It is said that Yunxian taught the human race to make fire with wood, which is called Yuhuo. Shanshi Xianjun taught earth metallurgy, which is called forging gold."

"Yes." Ling Yun replied, "So? What do you want to ask?"

"Where does the water control technique come from?" Xuanming asked, "How can the human race control water?"

Ling Yun suddenly raised his eyes, his sharp gaze seemed to pierce Xuan Ming.

Xuan Ming looked at him indifferently, as if it was a pot of tea, friends gathered to discuss the five elements.

After a while, Ling Yun sighed, as if turning his tense nerves into a breath of helplessness.

"How can the human race be able to control the water? The young master also said so. It is against the law to want to master the abilities that you should not have."

Ling Yun looked out the window, as if he was recalling something far away.

"Yunmen is known as a family of immortals, able to control water and fire. My job should be to follow the order of the ancestor Yunxian to spread the art to the world. It is only in the past hundred years that Yunmen no longer sends monks to the world to teach and receive art. It only accepts disciples in an attempt to strengthen itself .The young master traveled down the mountain in his early years, and he has seen a lot. He wanted to lead Yunmen back to the right way, but..."

Ling Yun paused for a while, raised his hand and swiped, and two words appeared in the air.

Pingyi?

Xuanming frowned.

"Since the Patriarch retreated, a Yushui cultivator became the acting Patriarch, and there have been constant conflicts." Ling Yun accepted the words and continued. "The matter this time should be that the Patriarch of this generation has started to make trouble, and wants to take action against the young master. You are very good at dealing with water monsters. The young master invited you here, probably to deal with this matter."

"So that's how it is." Xuan Ming nodded slightly, "Are you suspecting that this Patriarch has something to do with Chi Chi?"

"It's just suspicion." Ling Yun replied. "I already know you are in good shape, put your clothes on."

When Xuan Ming put on the coat that Xiao Er sent, Ling Yun had already adjusted his breath, curled up on the chair and closed his eyes, apparently not planning to say anything else.

Only then did Xuanming realize that he had been tricked again, and thought that the young masters of Yunmen were all alike.Ling Yun seemed to be quite sincere and chatted with him here for a long time, but at some point, he quietly changed the topic, and didn't ask all the questions he wanted to ask.

This is the person who played in Huayu Building all night in order to strangle him. How can there be sincerity.

But to be honest, Xuan Ming also knew that he was spying on someone's family background.For no reason, Ling Yun has no reason to tell him why Yunmen can "defy the sky and resist water".

Xuan Ming took out the Fire Cloud Jade Pendant, the whole body was red but it didn't look coquettish at all, on the contrary it made people feel as warm as water.

There is no reason not to fulfill the words promised.Although the young master of Yunshan had not been with him for a long time, but Xuanming recognized this friend, even if there was no return promised by the other party, he should do his best for his friend, let alone let the violent red chicken group ignore him.

Thinking so, Xuan Ming took the jade pendant.He glanced at Ling Yun at the side again.

This person also needs to be protected.

……

The next day, the sky just came into the house, and when Xuanming opened his eyes, he saw Ling Yun sitting on the edge of the window, looking thoughtfully at the street, his clothes had been changed back to the black shorts he was wearing before.

"Since those red chickens were able to chase from Luoying City to Xizhao Valley, they even occupied the source of the river. I'm afraid there are more of them in the Yunshan Mountains." Seeing that Xuanming woke up, Ling Yun went straight to the topic without much nonsense, "I'll go find out After a while, the landslides in the nearby mountains are serious, and the mountain roads and waterways are not easy to walk. If the mountain roads are not fast enough, it is better to simply take the official road and enter Yunshan from Shecheng."

Xuanming nodded.He didn't know about other places, but he had heard of it in Shecheng.

Shecheng is known as the largest settlement in the north, with developed agriculture, a large population and affluent life.However, Shecheng is most famous for its title of "The Capital of Shangtu" and the "Lanqing Temple" where monks from Yutu gathered.

And the south of Shecheng is "Yunshan where Yunmen is located", but no one knows about it.

The official road is the road of chariots and horses.Whether it is a merchant or a monk, anyone can leave.In the Xishan area, there are low mountains on both sides of the official road, and farmland to the north.If the acting Patriarch named Pingyi really ordered Chiqi to attack them, it would be difficult to do anything in this situation.What's more, the official road is always guarded by officials, and monsters are not allowed to come in disorder.

But everything is not always smooth sailing.

"Taking the official route is indeed much safer, but it's too ostentatious." Xuanming replied, "The other party will receive the letter early and make arrangements in advance—for example, take the initiative to attack your family in advance."

"What do you mean?" Ling Yun heard, jumped off the window, and sat on the chair opposite Xuanming, "Those red chickens can also track me in the city?"

"Since there are forces in the mountains, there will be more or less in the city." Xuanming replied, "The way you act as an assassin can only deceive people's five senses, and has no effect on their perception."

"Perception?" Ling Yun frowned, and changed his posture, "So in Luoying City... you also found something wrong with me through 'perception'?"

"It's not so obvious when it's raining. I found out later." Xuan Ming rubbed his nose and glanced out the window.

"I can't 'perceive' that you can control water." Ling Yun said.

Xuan Ming turned his head and saw Ling Yun staring at him with a serious face.

"The spiritual creatures by the water are very sensitive to the breath of the flowing water." Xuanming sighed, and answered truthfully, "You can't feel it, it may be mainly active in the inland, and there are very few monks who control the water, so there is no one to let it go." The environment in which you practice perceiving."

"So, Chi Chi is very sensitive to the breath of the water. The water-controlling monk is the change of the breath. In places where the water flow is scarce, the change will be more obvious." Ling Yun nodded, and then shook his head. "It's a pity that there is no waterway to the north."

"Even if there is a waterway, there will be more Chiqi." Xuan Ming said.

Ling Yun folded his arms and didn't answer, as if he was lost in thought.

This situation is indeed embarrassing.Either go into the mountains to fight wits and bravery with the Chiqi mountain flood, and delay the time to go back for support.Either take the official route and tell the other party that we are on the way to support, what is the current position, and you are ready.

However, it is still not an option to continue to hesitate in this small town, and the situation of Cloud Gate may be different if it is delayed for a moment.

"There is one more thing I have to remind you." Xuan Ming added, "You have seen the hallucinogenic ability of red chilies, but that is not the final stage of their cultivation. To a certain extent, they can even go ashore and turn into humans look."

Ling Yun raised his head and glanced at him, Xuanming felt that there seemed to be a trace of resentment in those clear eyes.

"So, do you have any ideas?" Ling Yun asked him, "What do you plan to do?"

"Wait for the east wind." Xuan Ming smiled, "A stick of incense at the earliest, a cup of tea at the latest."

Ling Yun was taken aback for a moment, then immediately jumped off the chair and walked back to the window.

It was still early at this time, and the air was still and oppressive.There were only a few stalls on the street, and they had just loaded up their carts, but they didn't have anything on display.The sky was completely white, and it was impossible to tell whether it was cloud or fog.

Dongfeng?

"Feel it?" Xuanming's voice came from behind.

Ling Yun was still a little suspicious, but he also tried to close his eyes and let out a deep breath.

It was empty and very still.

However, there seemed to be some small fluctuations, from far to near, like ripples that gradually spread.

The gust of wind roared into the window, lifting Ling Yun's hair.

coming!Ling Yun suddenly opened his eyes.

I saw that the top of my head, which was still white just now, was already gloomy, flashes of light flashed across, and the big raindrops came one after another, and the water flowed down the window edge and converged into a trickle on the stone road.The small stall downstairs hastily collected the car and scattered away.

Ling Yun turned his head and saw Xuan Ming looking at him with a half smile but not a smile, he didn't say anything for a while.

Seeing this, Xuan Ming didn't tease him too much, picked up the green gold sword by his side and handed it to Ling Yun, "This sword is for you."

Ling Yun looked at the green gold sword, which was wrapped in a scabbard that looked very ordinary at this time, and it did not have the posture to call the wind and rain in the mountains and cleanse the demons.

Ling Yun's fingers trembled, but in the end he still didn't answer.

"I don't know how to use a sword." Ling Yun replied.

"I told you to hold it to ward off evil spirits, but I didn't let you use it." Xuan Ming said, "What? Is it too heavy?"

Ling Yun grabbed the sword with split hands, thinking that he would strangle this man to death sooner or later.

The author has something to say:

"Understand?" One person put down the paper fan and took a sip of tea.

"I don't understand." Another person yawned. "Do you still want to fight?"
