Chapter 1017
Sikong saw that Zhang Xiaohua and Dream were so close, and his eyes unconsciously showed a kind smile.
Not long after, Granny Nine returned with a large pot of white meat soup in her hands. Even from afar, Zhang Xiaohua could smell the fragrance of the soup. Although Zhang Xiaohua had long since abstained from eating, he still couldn't help but move his fingers.
The people in the small village were very enthusiastic. Although Dream didn't know any names, they all called her Ya. They cooked the game they hunted during the day and brought it to Dream's wooden table. Although Dream had eaten countless delicacies in Chuanxiang Cult, she was still touched by their friendship. She felt that the things in this mountain village were her favorite.
This wooden house had been dark for several years. Tonight, the candlelight swayed and the sound of laughter was endless …
However, when the people dispersed, Dream also rested in a house. Zhang Xiaohua sat alone in the hall, listening to the silence of the village. She also released her spiritual sense to look at the quiet village. She felt a little strange in her heart!
However, Zhang Xiaohua vaguely felt that it was strange, but she couldn't put her finger on it!
"Is it because that mysterious person didn't come, so I'm being paranoid?" Zhang Xiaohua could only think with self-mockery.
The next morning, before Zhang Xiaohua woke up, the men in the village packed up their weapons and went on the road early. The village women sent the men away and went back to sleep.
When the first ray of sunlight shone in the wooden house, Zhang Xiaohua, who was sitting cross-legged, opened her eyes. She was very keen to find that Dream, who always woke up late, was standing in front of the window of the wooden house. The window was facing the graveyard on the ridge.
"You're awake?" Dream asked, her voice was a little strange.
Zhang Xiaohua stood up and said, "Dream, you … did you sleep well last night?"
"Well, it was okay!"
When Zhang Xiaohua went to the window, in the sky, she saw that Dream's eyes were a little red. She couldn't help but sigh, "You didn't sleep last night, right?"
"Well, how could I sleep?"
"Let's go, let's go to mother's grave and take a look!"
Zhang Xiaohua accompanied Meng to the tombs again. Meng bent down and kowtowed a few times in front of the two tombs. She looked up at the sun that had jumped out of the horizon in the east and smiled, "A new day … has come again!"
"Yes, it was. We couldn't find it yesterday!" Zhang Xiaohua also raised his head. The warm sunlight shone on the faint flames in his eyes.
"Since we couldn't find him yesterday, then … why bother looking for him?"
With that, Meng took Zhang Xiaohua's hand and walked away along the mountain ridge.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to Lady Jiu and the others?" Zhang Xiaohua asked carefully.
"There's no need. To be honest, although they treat me very well, and I know that I grew up here, but … but I don't have them in my heart. Looking at how much they spoil me, I feel a little ashamed.
If we were to face the separation head-on, perhaps they would be a little sad. However, I only had my attachment to my mother. It could not help but be said to be a kind of embarrassment.
Since that's the case, it's better to leave without saying goodbye. "
"You've grown up, Meng!"
Zhang Xiaohua held her hand and smiled, "By the way, I forgot that your name is Ya. Do you think I should call you Ya or Meng?"
"What do you think?" Meng smiled.
"I think you should be called Mengya!"
Zhang Xiaohua pondered for a moment and said, "One is the name I gave you, and the other is the name your mother gave you. Isn't it just right to put them together?"
"Bah, you're dreaming!" Meng Qian smiled and said, "How can you put the name my mother gave me together with the name you casually gave me?"
"If yesterday doesn't reappear, then what's the point of saying yesterday's name again?
Just keep the name Ya in your heart and engrave it in your memory! "
"Oh, by the way, I left in a hurry just now and forgot to leave some money for Lady Jiu and the others!" Zhang Xiaohua suddenly realized.
"Oh, by the time you think about it, the cucumber will be cold."
Meng snappily rolled her eyes at him and said, "I put all the money I had on the table and left some commonly used pills."
"Well, that's great.
When I first arrived at Mo Chou City, I also exchanged some money. It's enough for us to go all the way back to Huan Xiang Cult! "
Meng was surprised and asked curiously, "What did you exchange for?
Pills? "
"Pills?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Those things are used as money in Huan Xiang Cult, but outside it's a life-saving thing. Why would I exchange it for pills?
It's just some gold leaves that Nie Qianyu gave me. I went to the bank and exchanged them for money! "
"Hee hee, I thought you would steal it!" Meng said with a smile.
"No, how can I have such a character in your eyes?" Zhang Xiaohua also rolled her eyes at Meng Qian.
"You think?"
After speaking, Meng Yao released Zhang Xiaohua's hand and activated his internal energy. Using his qinggong, Meng Yao flew away. His silhouette in the forest that had just woken up in the morning was incomparably...
Meng Qian's light laughter was like the sound of a bird crying for the first time.
Ten days later, Zhang Xiaohua was riding on the David's Deer on a rather secluded official road. Meng was riding on a big white horse. Both of them had a smile on their faces. They didn't talk much and only turned their heads occasionally. They looked at each other with a smile in their eyes. There was a kind of tacit understanding between them. It was as if their hearts were connected.
But … after a while, Meng Qian looked at the scenery beside her and unconsciously said, "Xiaohua, what kind of road are you leading us on?
This … doesn't seem like a road we've been on before! "
Zhang Xiaohua mysteriously said, "Of course not. We went to Yi Xia Town and Poyang Town. We didn't have enough time, so … I found a shortcut …"
Then she proudly said, "You can follow me. I guarantee that you will be able to see the light in front of your eyes. You will have the feeling of 'at the end of the road'!"
"Really?
I … I don't dare to believe it! "
Meng pursed her lips and said, "You don't know how many times you got lost along the way. How dare you boast today?"
"A scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes. How long have we been out?
I … I am a brand new me! "
"Hahaha," Meng Qian laughed and pointed at Zhang Xiaohua, "Aren't you still a pair of small eyes and a flat nose?"
Zhang Xiaohua touched her nose and felt a little wronged. When she was about to speak, she suddenly frowned slightly. After a while, a strange expression appeared on her face. She patted her bald head and slowed down. When Meng Qian walked side by side with her, she said with a smile, "Meng, I have something to tell you."
"What?" Meng Qian said, "Why are you so mysterious?"
Then she blushed and said vigilantly, "You … don't think too much …"
Zhang Xiaohua blushed and said, "I really didn't think too much. I …"
While they were talking, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind. The official road was straight, so they could see very far at a glance. When Zhang Xiaohua and Meng looked back, they saw dozens of horses chasing from a distance!
"Oh no, what's wrong?"
Meng Qian was shocked. The official road was very remote. They had been walking for a long time and had not met anyone. Now that someone was chasing after them, they were in trouble.
Zhang Xiaohua's eyes were sharp. She saw that the person in front was Liang Cangxu who ambushed Peacock. And the person behind him was one of the people who set up the Tripartite Formation!
"Oh no," Zhang Xiaohua shouted, "Meng, something bad is going to happen."
Meng Qian panicked, "What's wrong? You know all these people?
Which sect are they from?
How dare they go against the Fragrant Sect? "
Zhang Xiaohua nodded, "Yes, do you remember when Peacock was returning to the Fragrant Sect from Rejuvenation Valley? She was ambushed!"
"Yes, I do. You … are these people?"
"Yes, I followed Peacock back to the Fragrant Sect. So I've seen them before. The first one is the one."
"Then … why don't we run?"
"I'm afraid that won't work."
Zhang Xiaohua looked around and said, "Even though we can't be sure that these people are coming for us, we still need to be prepared.
How about this, you don't need to be afraid. We are the emissaries of the Fragrant Sect. In the future, the Fragrant Sect will go out into the world. If we don't go back, not only will the Hierarch be angry, even … the Dalin Temple will be angry. They won't be able to bear the consequences! "
"But …" Meng Qian was at a loss, "They …"
"Hehe, what are you afraid of?
Meng Qian, don't forget … Besides the Fragrant Sect and the Dalin Temple, you … have the Tenryū Sect as your backing … Tell me … how dare they? "
Meng Qian nodded. Her mother was the Sacred Ambassador of the Tenryū Sect. There was no doubt about it. Even the Great Master Chang Geng could see some clues. How could the leader of this mysterious sect not see it?
"Then … what do you mean?" Meng Qian looked at the approaching crowd and felt a surge of courage.
"It's nothing. They're just here to capture us or cause us trouble.
I have an idea. Since the two of us aren't a match for them, why don't we go with them and see which sect this mysterious force is from? What do you think? "Zhang Xiaohua said in a relaxed manner.
"Ah?
I … I thought it was a good idea. It's a bad idea! "Meng Qian said helplessly.
"It's okay, Meng. I promise you that you'll be fine. Besides, if you don't want to play with them, we'll leave immediately. What do you think?" Zhang Xiaohua said, patting her chest.
"Leave?
That's easy for you to say. My qinggong isn't as good as Senior Kong's. If she can't run, how can I? "Meng Qian said disdainfully.
"No, it's not that Peacock can't run. She can't run!" Zhang Xiaohua explained, "Rejuvenation Valley's caravan …"
"Cough, cough. Don't say anymore. They're already in front of us!" Meng Qian glared at her. The two of them rode to the side of the official road.
The one in front was Liang Cangxu. He held a long knife in his hand. When he saw Zhang Xiaohua and Meng Qian hiding on the side of the official road, he couldn't help but smile. He whispered to the disciple next to him, "Sect Leader is really good. He knows that this pair of man and woman are inexperienced. That's why he ordered us to capture them. Look … they still think they're on a scenic tour!"
"Brother Liang is right. However, these two are still young. We have more than enough manpower. Asking Brother Liang to do this is like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken."
"Knife?"
Liang Cangxu waved the knife slightly. There was a sound of the knife. He then said seriously, "The Cult of Incense is not to be underestimated. Two years ago, we went to Rejuvenation Valley to kill Peacock. Although we arranged it well, didn't we still return in defeat?"
