Chapter 22 Chapter 21 Night

The Qimai Martial Arts Competition is a grand event once every sixty years in the Qingyun Sect. There are hundreds more people on Tongtian Peak, so the accommodation will naturally become tense.It is delusional for everyone in the Dazhu Peak lineage to live the happy life of being alone on the Dazhu Peak.Except for Tian Ling'er who lived with the daughters of Xiaozhufeng, Dazhufeng started from Song Daren, there were seven male disciples in total, all crowded in one room. On Tongtian Peak, disciple Qing Yun always lived in four people's room, and now there are three floor bunks in the room, and they were squeezed out anyway, but it's unavoidable to be overcrowded.At this moment, only someone complained loudly: "Really, I've been talking about how good Nagato is all day long, but now we have seven of us sharing a room, how petty!"

"Lao Liu, don't complain, it will be bad if Nagato's senior brother hears about it." "Second senior brother, you are naturally very comfortable sleeping on the bed, why don't you look at me lying on the cold ground, junior brother, why don't we change the bed." "Whirring whirring……" "...No way, you fell asleep all of a sudden, and still snoring?" "Whirring whirring……" "Hmph, ah, fourth senior brother, you have always been handsome, unrestrained, suave, talented, and talented..." "Whirring whirring……"

"What are you doing, is it very popular to fall asleep instantly? Hey, senior brother, you have always been kind-hearted, why would you look at me, junior brother..." "Whirring whirring……" "You—ah, third senior brother..." "Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho..." Everyone was frightened, at this time the wall suddenly rang loudly, and someone next door shouted angrily: "Hey, do you people in Dazhufeng sleep so loudly at night?" The room was suddenly quiet. After a long time, someone secretly laughed a few times. After a while, the previous voice suddenly seemed to recall something: "Ah, Fifth Senior Brother, you..."

"You, you, what are you, I'll sleep next to you, all on the ground, do you want to change positions, I don't care!" "Ahem, I'm fine. Sigh, it's okay that the floor is cold, but it's still a bit short, and I can't sleep comfortably. Speaking of which, I'm still a little junior brother, and my body is just right." "Senior Brother Six, why are you talking with your eyes closed? Didn't you see that there is a big dog and a monkey grabbing the quilt from me here? My place is the most crowded, you still say?" "...But I still..."

"Shut up, old six!" Several people in the room shouted at the same time. ※※※ After dark, there were many other young disciples from the Six Meridians who came to Tongtian Peak for the first time, and they were amazed and curious about the scenery of Tongtian Peak, but as the night deepened, everyone went back to their respective rooms to sleep. When darkness fell on this towering mountain peak, above the sky, a round of cold moon sprinkled the clear light on the mountain peak. Zhang Xiaofan was sleeping soundly, suddenly he felt a few movements around him in a daze, he opened his sleepy eyes dimly, only to see that the monkey Xiaohui and Dahuang lying beside him had disappeared.He stood up and looked around, only to see a big yellow figure flashing past the door, with a shadow on his back, most likely it was the monkey Xiao Hui.

Zhang Xiaofan wondered, it was so late at night, where did the monkey and the dog go, he got up lightly, casually approved a piece of clothing, and walked to the door, only to see Rhubarb on his back in the cold moonlight With Xiao Hui Hu Hu, he ran towards the sea of ​​clouds. Zhang Xiaofan looked at the direction they were running to, made a calculation in his mind, and remembered that it was the Tongtian Peak kitchen that Song Daren had told him earlier.At the moment, he was angry and funny, this rhubarb had been raised by Tian Buyi for hundreds of years, and he was considered an old dog, unexpectedly he was so greedy.He thought about not going back to sleep, but thinking about it, he thought that if someone saw the yellow dog and gray monkey in Dazhufeng stealing food, it would be too ugly, and it would be better to chase them back.

He made up his mind, looked up, and saw that Da Huang was carrying Xiao Hui on his back, only a vague figure was left at the moment, so he hurriedly chased after him. He ran all the way, being careful on the way, not disturbing his colleagues in other rooms. When he ran to the square at the sea of ​​clouds, he could no longer see the shadows of rhubarb and little gray. He could only see the clouds floating faintly under the cold moon. , Like yarn like smoke, too beautiful to behold. But after he took a second look, he didn't have the heart to look any further. He turned his head and looked around for a while, and was about to walk in the direction of the kitchen. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.

In the depths of the sea of ​​clouds, on the other side from the direction of the kitchen, in the misty clouds, there is a slender figure faintly walking forward. Looking at the direction that the person is walking, it seems to be walking towards Hongqiao. Zhang Xiaofan stared blankly at that figure, even though it was far away, but this figure seemed to be deeply engraved in his heart, he recognized at a glance that it was Tian Linger, Senior Sister. night, so deep! Why did she go out alone, and where did she go alone? Zhang Xiaofan was stunned on the spot, at a loss for a moment, only felt that thousands of thoughts were rushing in his head, his heart was in a mess, as if he vaguely guessed something, but he still refused to admit it.

He turned his head, stared at the direction of the kitchen where Dahuang and Xiaohui ran, and walked there, saying to himself at the same time: "Zhang Xiaofan, mind your own business! Mind your own business!" After walking seven steps like this, the moonlight shines on this young man like water, making him feel extremely lonely.Then he stopped and looked up at the sky, only to see a cold moon hanging in the sky.His mouth seemed to move, and after a while, he turned around quickly, gritted his teeth, and ran towards the direction where the figure disappeared. The moonlight shone on his running figure, with a desolate tenderness.

After a while, Tian Linger's figure disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds, but Zhang Xiaofan didn't look at other places, and ran towards Hongqiao.Soon, he got on the Hongqiao, the mountain wind was blowing, the water on both sides of the Hongqiao rippled slightly, reflecting the moon in the sky, cool and beautiful, but Zhang Xiaofan didn't care about it at all, just ran hard. run, run, run! After running across Hongqiao, he still didn't see anyone.Until he ran to the end of the Hongqiao, he suddenly felt lost. The cold moonlight illuminated the clear water pool at the end of the Hongqiao like daytime, and he saw a beautiful figure standing by the pool, staring at the sparkling water, dazed. Preoccupied.

Zhang Xiaofan suddenly became afraid, a kind of fear that he couldn't describe himself, he only knew that he couldn't let his senior sister find out.He looked around in a blink of an eye and saw a small forest near the Hongqiao on the right hand side of the pool, so he ran over quietly, hid there, and watched Tian Linger secretly from the shadow. This look seems to be eternity! Under the moonlight, beside the clear water, that young woman was somewhat sad and expectant, her eyebrows were lowered, her eyes seemed to have a faint light, as if she was yearning for something, she looked so beautiful.The mountain breeze was blowing, the wind crossed the water, passed by her side, held her breath, stopped making noises, and gently brushed her beautiful hair on the front of her skirt, lining her snow-like skin. In Zhang Xiaofan's heart, an indescribable tenderness suddenly surged up, as if that woman was the one he wanted to protect all his life, even if he went through all kinds of twists and turns for her, he would never hesitate or regret it. At this moment, how much hope is eternity! "Junior Sister Linger." Suddenly, a call came from Hongqiao, Tian Linger turned around suddenly, her eyes were filled with joy in an instant, and a sincere smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Senior Brother Qi, you are here." Zhang Xiaofan's heart seemed to be broken at that moment, but he didn't feel any pain, his whole heart was empty, only echoed the sentence "Qi Senior Brother, Qi Senior Brother, Qi Senior Brother..." He turned his head with difficulty, only to see a person walking quickly on the Hongqiao, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and extraordinary, with outstanding demeanor, but it was not Qi Hao or someone else. I saw Qihao walking quickly to Tian Linger's side, and said in a warm voice: "I'm sorry, my seniors are young and noisy, and they didn't fall asleep until late, that's why they came late, it made you wait so long .” Tian Linger was a little angry at first, but for some reason, when she saw Qi Hao's figure, she disappeared without a trace. She shook her head and smiled, "It's okay, I haven't been here for long." After a pause, She glanced at the pool next to her and said, "But why did you ask to meet here? During the day, Lingzun suddenly became angry. I'm still a little scared?" Qi Hao said with a smile: "It's okay, I heard from Master that the Spirit Venerable is all as usual, it's just a joke with our young disciples, and if it makes such a fuss during the day, it will be even more clean at night, isn't it?" Tian Linger blushed, lowered her head, and said, "I don't know if it's okay for us to meet each other secretly like this?" Qi Hao looked at her gentle and beautiful face, and said softly: "Junior Sister Linger, since we first met in Dazhufeng two years ago, I have never forgotten you. Your shadow." Tian Linger bit her lip subconsciously, her face turned red again, but she didn't mean to be angry at all, instead there was a little sweetness in her heart. Qi Hao said again: "Junior Sister Linger, I..." Tian Linger suddenly raised her head and said: "Senior Brother Qi, you can just call me Linger." Having said this, she suddenly lowered her head again and said in a low voice: "That's what I, my father and mother call me. " Qihao was overjoyed, as if he still didn't believe his ears, he hesitated for a while before asking: "Really, Ling, Linger." Tian Linger took a look at him, reached into her bosom and slowly took out a small brocade box, lowered her eyes, looked at the ground, and said in a low voice as if mustering up her courage: "This 'cooling bead', my two I have carried it with me for years.” After she said this, she didn't dare to look at Qihao again, but unexpectedly after a long time, Qihao didn't make a sound. Tian Linger felt strange, and secretly raised her eyes to look at him, only to see Qihao's eyes were full of joy, smiling, and said no Out of a happy look. The two of them stared at each other for a long time, then suddenly opened their arms and embraced each other. The moonlight was cold, sprinkled on them, sprinkled in the forest, but could not reach the dark corners. I don't know how long it has passed, the couple were talking softly, until Qihao looked at the sky and saw that the moon had already passed, and said: "Ling'er, it's getting late, let's go back, otherwise if someone gets caught If you find out, it’s always bad.” Tian Linger thought for a while and nodded.The two of them glanced at each other, and suddenly smiled, everything was kept silent, Qihao took Tian Linger's hand, and walked slowly towards Hongqiao, the two of them were like a pair of intimate mandarin ducks under the moonlight, leaning closely Yes, after a while, it disappeared above Hongqiao. ※※※ The night was a little more desolate. In the woods, in the shadows, Zhang Xiaofan came out slowly, walked to the edge of the clear water pond in a daze, looked at the sparkling water surface, looked at the cold moon reflected in the water, gently swaying with the water waves. He suddenly wanted to cry. However, he didn't cry after all, the inexplicable pain rushed around like a raging beast in his heart, causing scars everywhere in his heart. However, he gritted his teeth and remained silent. It was as if he had returned to the way he was five years ago. At that time, he lost everything except Lin Jingyu by his side, the world was completely changed. And tonight, at this time, he was the only one facing it alone. "Roar", a low sound, sounded like the snorting of some kind of wild animal, suddenly sounded behind him, Zhang Xiaofan woke up from the confusion, looked back, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. I saw that Qingyunmen Suppressing Mountain Spirit Beast, the huge water unicorn known as "Ling Zun" by everyone, suddenly and silently appeared behind him at this moment, and it was very close, lowering its head, with a pair of giant eyes as if Just sticking to Zhang Xiaofan's body, I don't know how it can do this with such a big body, maybe Zhang Xiaofan is heartbroken, and it's not necessarily true that he didn't notice it. But at this moment, Zhang Xiaofan's heart almost jumped out of his chest, seeing this water unicorn's huge body like a hill was right in front of him, the long and sharp fangs in its bloody mouth gleamed in the moonlight, it was scary He took a few steps back and stumbled, but was tripped by a big rock and fell to the ground. When he came out, his clothes were in disarray, but he just put on a piece of clothing. Now his body was shaking, and he heard a sound of "clang", and something fell to the ground. The sound spread quickly in this calm place, echoing above the water. Zhang Xiaofan and Shui Qilin lowered their heads to look at the same time, and saw a so-called "fire stick" lying quietly on the ground beside the water, between Zhang Xiaofan and Shui Qilin. In Shui Qilin's giant eyes, Zhang Xiaofan's pale face and the ugly fire stick on the ground were reflected.Zhang Xiaofan only felt that his throat was dry, and he was sweating profusely, in his heart he desperately shouted "Run, run, run!!" Just in front of the water unicorn, no matter how delusional he was, his feet didn't seem to be his own, and he didn't move.Shui Qilin was a little strange at the moment, looked at Zhang Xiaofan twice, his attention seemed to be attracted by the fire stick.I saw this giant beast staring at the black fire stick, looking up and down, turning its big head back and forth, but it still didn't see anything.After a while, as if hesitating for a moment, it stretched out its front paws, and moved the fire stick carefully. Zhang Xiaofan was dumbfounded watching from the sidelines, although he was still very scared in his heart, curiosity arose at the same time, thinking that this "Spiritual Venerable" has lived for thousands of years and is already old and confused, or is it the same as the rhubarb on the Big Bamboo Peak Dogs are generally old and disrespectful, with a childlike innocence, yet they are so interested in a fire stick? I saw the huge paw of the water unicorn lightly touched the fire stick, and then immediately retracted. It seemed to be very afraid of the stick, but it just moved the fire stick, rolled a few times, and was still lying peacefully. There, nothing moves. Shui Qilin's eyes were full of confusion, but he still refused to give up. He shook his huge head, and suddenly looked towards Zhang Xiaofan, and a low but powerful roar came from his bloody mouth.Zhang Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat, all the muscles in his body tensed in an instant, he even stopped breathing. Unexpectedly, the water unicorn just glanced at him, and then looked at the fire stick again, but this time, it actually lowered its head, put its nose on the stick, and sniffed carefully.Zhang Xiaofan's heart was still pounding, but seeing the weird behavior of the giant beast in front of him, he subconsciously thought that this looks like rhubarb, if he wasn't too nervous at the moment, he would almost laugh out loud. The water unicorn sniffed for a while, but obviously found nothing. It raised its head, looked around with its big head, and seemed to be confused and confused.But the Millennium Spirit Beast is a Millennium Spirit Beast after all, after thinking for a moment, he decided to give up, only to see the water unicorn snorted, and glared at Zhang Xiaofan, only to frighten Zhang Xiaofan half to death, then turned around and walked down The water pool, not long after, the water splashed everywhere, and the huge body sank into the pool. Only then did Zhang Xiaofan regain his composure, and slowly got up, only then did he feel that the back of his clothes was completely wet, not to mention the cold sweat on his forehead like rain.He walked to the fire stick, picked it up, and looked it up and down, but he couldn't see anything unusual, so he couldn't help complaining loudly: "Damn it!" Before the words were finished, there was a sound of water at the side of the clear water pool, and a splash of water turned up. In the white waves, one could vaguely see the giant tail of the water unicorn coming out of the water. Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback, immediately put the fire stick in his arms, and ran away, he only heard the sound of water in the pool behind him, he didn't dare to look back, just ran away desperately, the farther away the better.In a short while, he ran up the Hongqiao, and ran straight up until he could no longer hear the sound behind him, and he didn't stop until he reached the top of the Hongqiao, panting heavily. "Hoo, hoo, hoo!..." Zhang Xiaofan's breathing gradually calmed down, but he suddenly felt very tired, a kind of tiredness rising from the bottom of his heart, he lowered his head, and saw a lonely shadow following him under the moonlight. He suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky, only to see a cold sky, a cold moon hanging high in the sky.He stared at it stupidly, and was stunned for a while. ※※※ In the morning, everyone woke up. Du Bishu rubbed his waist and complained loudly: "Really, I almost broke my waist after sleeping all night, how can I compete today?" The fifth Lu Daxin frowned and said, "Sixth, don't yell, I also slept all night, and I didn't feel any problem with my waist." Song Daren also said from the side: "That's right, sixth son, you complained all night last night, isn't that enough? Didn't you see that fifth son and junior brother are silent?" Du Bishu rolled his eyes strangely, and said: "Fifth Senior Brother is thick-skinned and thick-skinned, I don't feel it, if you don't believe me, you can ask Junior Brother and look at him... Hey, Junior Brother, why are your eyes bloodshot, I really didn't sleep well last night ?" Zhang Xiaofan tidied up the quilt, sat on a chair at the moment, stared out of the window blankly, without any reaction, while Dahuang was lying at his feet, the monkey Xiaohui was rummaging through Dahuang's dog fur, as if looking for lice. Du Bishu walked over and patted him hard on the shoulder.Zhang Xiaofan got excited and jumped up, startled Da Huang and Xiao Hui too, he turned his head to look around, said: "W-what's the matter?" Du Bishu frowned and said, "Xiaofan, why are you out of your mind, didn't you sleep well last night?" Zhang Xiaofan froze for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, no." Du Bishu said: "Then why are your eyes bloodshot and red?" Just as Zhang Xiaofan was about to speak, He Dazhi, who came over from the side, interjected, "Sixth brother, don't meddle in your own business, it doesn't matter if the junior brother is in a bad mood, anyway, he has a free day today, but you don't wash up, and delay the competition later, then But you can’t blame anyone else.” Du Bishu suddenly came to his senses, he didn't care whether Zhang Xiaofan slept well or not, he rushed over, completely ignoring Lu Daxin, Zheng Dali and others who were washing their faces, snatched the washbasin, splashed water on his face, and said in his mouth: "Huh, The little junior brother is lucky, you see his face looking like he wants to die and sleep late, it's really... Ah, fifth senior brother, return the washbasin to me quickly, I'm running out of time!" "Bah, I haven't washed myself yet!" Zhang Xiaofan watched several senior brothers arguing over a washbasin on the other side of the room, felt a little bored in his heart, stood up and went out, and when he was walking to the door, Song Daren suddenly called out from behind: "Little junior brother, have you washed it before?" Is it gone?" Zhang Xiaofan turned his head, said: "It's been washed, senior brother." Song Daren nodded, and said: "That's good, it doesn't matter if you go out for a walk first, but you'll have breakfast in the dining room later, do you understand?" Zhang Xiaofan responded, "Got it." Then he walked out, the monkey Xiaohui yelled twice, ran over and climbed onto his shoulder, Dahuang saw Xiaohui go, and crawled lazily He got up, wagged his tail, and followed him out.On the corridor, Zhang Xiaofan could see the figures of brothers from Qingyun sect who just got up and were busy on the left and right, he walked casually, and unknowingly came to the sea of ​​clouds square. It was still early at this time, and only a few disciples of Qingyun walked above the sea of ​​clouds in twos and threes.The cool mountain wind blows over Zhang Xiaofan's face, giving him a cold feeling. As if last night! Zhang Xiaofan felt a pain in his heart, he is sixteen years old this year, he has just begun to love, he has lived on Dazhufeng for five years, spent time with Tian Linger, he has been deeply rooted in his heart for this beautiful and lively senior sister since he was a child.Unexpectedly, last night, he witnessed Tian Linger and Qi Hao's private meeting. For a moment, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and his mood was in turmoil. At this moment, his mind was in a mess, flashing back and forth were the scenes of last night that made his heart ache like death, and he walked aimlessly like a wandering soul without a master. "Huh?" Suddenly, an exclamation sounded beside him, startled Zhang Xiaofan, woke up from his wild thoughts, looked at him, but he was a young disciple of Qingyun, with handsome features, a long robe, around twenty, with hands in his hands Holding a gold-painted fan, it seems that there are some landscapes and rivers painted on it, at this moment it is close to it, but a pair of bright big eyes did not look at Zhang Xiaofan, but stared straight at the monkey Xiaohui on Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder stop.
