not bound

Xue Zangxue just stood at the intersection, looking at the four killing formations from a distance, his vision began to distort continuously.

The last time I saw Grandpa, Xingzhou, and Bixing, I missed you, grandma.

He stood up the coffin, jumped up, and then lightly landed on the top of the coffin.Finally, he stomped his feet suddenly, and the ground sank immediately, and the coffin sank little by little, until finally it was completely submerged in the soil.

Xue Zangxue tied Qianqiu to his chest, and said in a low voice, "Close your eyes obediently, it will be fine soon."

Returning at night in a snowstorm is not a killing formation at all.

Canaan Valley is a home, waiting for people to return.

Since it belongs to the people, it is right to step forward.

***

A quaint stone bridge connects the snow plum forest and the wind bamboo forest. Walking through this stone bridge to the depths of the bamboo forest, there are two small bridges. There is no water in the bamboo forest, and the bridges are not built on the river. There are green bamboo seas on both sides. It seems that the summer of lush forests and bamboos has just arrived from the end of winter.

But it is not summer at this time.

Numerous fallen leaves piled up on the bridge, emerald withered and yellow, no one cleaned it up, it seemed that it had been abandoned for a long time.The wind is very restless, blowing from all directions randomly, and the fallen leaves are blown away and whirl in the air. If you observe a little carefully, as long as those slender bamboo leaves fall on a certain strange track, they will seem to be blown from the middle by someone with a heart. Break apart, evenly into two pieces, and then spread out.The stone bridge had just exposed some blue stone slabs, and another gust of wind blew in, and the blue and white area was quickly covered by fallen leaves, as if there had never been any wind.

Here is the wind bamboo forest, the last stop of the four great formations. Here, there will be a gust of wind every other time. I don't know where it comes from. It seems that the bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest will fly and be divided. Breaking in half and falling down is its job.

It is said that if you don't stay in it for a day, you can't break the formation, but as long as you stay for a day, everyone will die or go crazy.Now the second female valley owner of Canaan Valley, Chen Xiang's mother-in-law Shen Jiuhua, is the array owner and guards the array all year round.

Dark shadows swayed in the depths of the bamboo forest, and a tall and thin figure gradually moved towards the stone bridge.This man was considered tall, but he held a broom in his hand that was taller than others, and he swung it slowly.

He cleaned the stone bridge that hadn't been cleaned for decades.The wind picked up again, and the place he had just swept was covered with leaves again.And he remained silent, did not change the rhythm at all, as if he didn't see it, but somehow he swung his broom, and the leaf changed direction in midair and fell outside the path.

Her long hair was lazily tied behind her head with a black headband, blowing up with the wind, but the black hair that should exist at this age was mixed with a few strands of white hair.

When Xue Zangxue reached the outermost stone bridge and was still a short distance away, the setting sun had already left its rays, and the temperature suddenly dropped.

A grey-haired old woman came from the other end of the bridge, carrying a large pannier on her back, and walked steadily. She saw that there were only a few fallen leaves on the bridge, and stopped.

Xue Zangxue didn't stop sweeping the floor after seeing her, but lowered his head deeply.For a while, there was no sound except the rustling of the bamboo forest and the sound of the broom rubbing against the stone bridge.

When the distance between the two was less than three feet, the old woman finally spoke.

"Leave it to me, you can go out."

"Thank you, Lord Shen." A very weak and deep voice sounded, and the young man slowly raised his head, because his wheat-colored skin was a little pale because of long-term exposure to the sun, it was a delicate face.The scattered black hair is a bit messy, and one eye is almost covered, but that eye will not be covered, the big light brown eyes are quiet and beautiful, if it is not for the death in the eyes, these eyes must be The most beautiful and attractive part of his face.

"You're welcome, you broke through four levels in a row and swept the fallen leaves for me in this bamboo forest for a whole day. We, Canaan Valley, will do one thing for you. This is the rule." Shen Jiuhua waved his hands, and the wind passed through the bamboo forest , The path that was swept clean before was all covered by fallen leaves, just like it hadn't been cleaned up in those decades at the beginning.

Shen Jiuhua smiled slightly and said: "Now, there are too few people who can quietly sweep the bamboo leaves in this formation for a whole day without using internal energy."

She glanced at the young man in front of her, and always felt that this person looked a little familiar, especially the eyes. She always felt that she had seen it somewhere before, but she didn't have any impression.

This person's feet are vain, if it is not for the emptiness of internal energy, he is an ordinary person.After sweeping the ground for so long, there was no blush on his face, but even paler.In addition, the cheeks are thin, the eye sockets are deep-set, and the veins near the lower corners of the eyes are looming. It seems that the body is already weak, and it is exhausted after these four battles.

Could it be that he entered the battle just to see a doctor?

But the sickness on this face is not a terminal illness, it's just weakness, it can be cured in the town outside, why do you have to rush in?However, the dead air in his eyes is very worrying. Could it be that he is on the verge of death after being severely injured, and the weakness on his face is just a reflection of the light?

There are only two possibilities for the illness that Shen Jiuhua can't see at a glance.Either he is really just plain weak, dead air is just inner self-exile.Either his medical skills or martial arts can already control the appearance of the body, but she doesn't believe that this young man can hide it from her, and there is no need for him to hide it from her when he comes to the doctor.

Shen Jiuhua originally wanted to choose to believe the former, but when she saw the child tied to Xue Zangxue's chest, she realized that the young man in front of her was probably the latter.

She reached out to try to push away the silk covering the child's face, Xue Zangxue took a step back subconsciously, and Shen Jiuhua's hand was almost frostbitten by the true energy he released.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Xue Zangxue stammered a little, "I've been instilling internal strength in him, if you touch it, you'll get hurt."

The child only showed half of his small face, and Shen Jiuhua had already seen his complexion clearly. The injury he suffered was worse than that of this young man, and the young man started from entering the battle three days ago, and now he has unexpectedly I have been distracted to keep this child alive!

"The thing you asked for is not simple, is it important to you?" Shen Jiuhua said in a deep voice.

"Well," the man in black gently stroked his hair with his slender fingers, "it's very important."

I've wanted to see you for many, many years.

Xue Zangxue's movements are very feminine. Shen Jiuhua originally thought that he disguised himself as a man to cover up his identity, but even though this person was dressed in men's clothes without makeup, he did not try to disguise or conceal that she was a woman.

Very interesting, this young man.

"Your child? Is it for you this time, or for this child?"

Shen Jiuhua didn't know why she wanted to make things difficult, she wanted to see what this young man could do for her children.

"I'm here for two reasons. One is for this kid."

Xue Zangxue took off the silk that was tied to Qianqiu's body, lovingly stroking his hair: "Outside...Master Shen Gu, I hope that I can put him by your side and Elder Gu for ten years, and you will give him the needles yourself. Elder Gu personally taught him martial arts, and he only ate the Canan Dan that you personally made during the healing period. One thing you don’t have to worry about, his meridians are different from ordinary people. Send him a message to teach him my kung fu, Elder Gu only needs to teach him, "

"you..."

Shen Jiuhua had never heard such a presumptuous request, this young man wanted too much.

As if knowing what Shen Jiuhua was thinking, Xue Zangxue added: "Of course, we won't take advantage of it for nothing. First, I will regularly provide Canaan Valley with first-grade Sheng Cang from Shenyin Peak, and make the best Canaan in addition to Yinye Chenxiang The medicinal materials necessary for Dan. Second, I can hand over a part of the peerless medical book that was stolen from Yaowang Valley. Third, I can write four of the seven ancient formations of Lingxi. Fourth, I can In these ten years, the boy will follow your surname Shen, accompany the two elders, and serve tea and water for you. Ten years later, he will learn something and will do three things within his capacity for Canaan Valley Authentic. That is to say, what he has endured The kindness will be repaid threefold."

"What you have done has far exceeded what you asked for. I don't see through your purpose. Is this a deal? You can negotiate a deal with Canaan Valley with only one piece of Sheng Cang, and you don't need to enter the battle. The following If everything is true, Canaan Valley can do more for you. You just ask us to raise him for ten years?"

"Of course not," Xue Zangxue replied, "after he is eight years old, please put him in the forbidden area of ​​Canaan Valley and let him go through the barrier alone. Allow him to go out of the valley once a year, and I will set up barriers in various places for him to practice. If he is injured and goes back to the valley, he needs to break through the formation and enter the valley by himself. He can open one formation at a time. At the age of 12, he can open all four formations.

Shen Jiuhua was silent for a long time, and asked, "Why must Canaan Valley be chosen?"

"My... I have admired Fairy Jiuhua since I was a child. This will not only help my son grow up well, but also fulfill my longing for many years."

A strange feeling surged in Shen Jiuhua's heart. She became famous 40 years ago, and this young man is only in his twenties. Where did he admire him from old scripts?

She looked into the young man's eyes, and what Xue Zangxue said was actually the truth.

"Why do you want me and Elder Gu to educate him personally?"

Xue Zangxue smiled slightly: "I can't trust other people."

Shen Jiuhua immediately thought of his grandson back then. It was because of her negligence that his whereabouts were still unknown.

"You don't stay? You don't treat the disease?"

"The Canaan Valley can accommodate an ignorant child, but it cannot accommodate me." Xue Zangxue said, "I don't need to treat the disease, my body knows it by itself."

"Can you, Master Shen Gu?"

The emotions in her eyes were about to overflow, not just a mother's desire for the health of her child, but also her admiration.It was the first time I met these eyes, but they were very familiar.

The eyes of this person are like sailing boats?Like Bi Xing?Or... hide the snow?

Why do you think of Zangxue?No, she remembers her Tibetan snow, not like this.

If Shen Jiuhua thinks about it, he will find that Xue Zangxue looks very much like Tang Yu when he was young.Every drug puppet in Yaowang Valley has such a pair of eyes, the eyes of Yaowang Valley's direct descendants, grayish brown, with a thin layer of glass-like luster.

Shen Jiuhua couldn't refuse, she couldn't refuse this young man.

If Zang Xue grew up normally, he would be this big, right?If Zang Xue had a child, he would look like this child, right?

Shen Jiuhua nodded.

Xue Zangxue seemed to let go of all burdens, and his hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

His children can get the best, he can let his children accompany his grandparents, and he can play for Canaan Valley as a matter of course.

He let out a long sigh of relief.

The young man took out a pure white snow-like faceless mask and put it on his face, bowed deeply to Shen Jiuhua, and walked away away from Canaan Valley with Qianqiu in his arms.

"It's great, I finally saw you," the words seemed to be addressed to myself, and the voice disappeared within a foot of the strong wind, "Grandma."

Naturally, Shen Jiuhua didn't hear this sentence clearly, she just looked at the back of the sixth young man who saw her in the wind and bamboo forest in decades, and played tricks on her.

She should have been angry, but the sentence "very important", the suppressed tone when he said it, and the deep look at herself made her see a crack in a frozen river in a trance, She caught a glimpse of a color of such utter sadness in the water that she was utterly speechless.

Could it be that this person is really going to die?
