I just want to practice horizontally - Chapter 45

[Chapter 45 Long time no see]

Have you ever felt like this?

One day, you wake up from bed, the sun is dazzling, you go out and walk on the road, but you always feel that the people and things around you are unreal and out of tune with you?

You try to talk, you try to repeat habits, you want to be real to yourself as quickly as possible.

In the end, I found out…

it was just due to sleep.

…

“Brother Tiedan, do you want to continue catching bamboo rats today?”

It was three o’clock in the morning, and Jiang Wuye, who was washing in the courtyard, heard a voice. He raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the six familiar men bathed in the white light at the door.

His silly smile and awkward and funny stance seemed to have been forcibly made by someone pulling his facial features and pulling his limbs.

So fake…

Wow.

Throw away the wash water.

Jiang Wuye, who was about to send the tub back to the house, paused when a question suddenly came to his mind that he shouldn’t ask.

He subconsciously turned to Long Xiaotian, who looked like a fool, and asked, “Xiaotian, how long have we known each other?” “

Huh?”

Under the sun, Long Xiaotian, the five big men wearing crotchless pants, froze in smiles and scratched their heads and ears.

“We…we seem to have just…”

Huhu~

The warm breeze was blowing, and the towering peach tree in the center of the village was swaying, and scattered pink petals were flying, playfully chasing each other, flying over the heads of the six people.

Long Xiaotian’s frowning expression turned into stupidity, and he smiled and said: “Brother Tiedan, hey, you’re sleepy. Didn’t we grow up together?” “

Really…”

Jiang Wuye looked at Long Xiaotian and the others. The smile reappeared on his face, but he always felt weird in his heart, but he couldn’t put it into words, so he could only rub his face helplessly, shake his head, and send the basin into the house.

The days passed like this.

Catching fish, stealing birds, flying kites…

The small peach blossom field, with long grass and orioles flying, is harmonious and leisurely. It seems to have endless fun. Jiang Wuye gradually merges into everyone’s laughter and curses, and the weird thoughts in his mind also It’s getting less and less every day.

Time is passing.

The peach tree that covers most of the village becomes more and more beautiful. Every time the breeze blows, petals fall all over the sky, making it dreamlike and beautiful.

Inspired by this, the tall and short peach blossoms in front and behind the houses in the village are also in full bloom, shyly attracting butterflies. From a distance, it looks like a peach blossom country, pure and peaceful, unstained by dust.

“Comfortable~”

On the hillside, Jiang Wuye was lying on the soft grass, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, crossing his legs, squinting his eyes and looking at the tranquility and leisure under the blue sky, feeling at ease physically and mentally.

Tsk, if I could live like this for the rest of my life…

“Eh? Brother Tiedan, come on, an outsider has come in!”

Not far away, Long Xiaotian’s exclamation suddenly sounded, as if he had seen something strange during the day.

outsider?

Jiang Wuye’s expression was shocked, he trembled, stood up, and quickly ran to follow the sound.

It has been passed down from generation to generation in the village that the outside world is a purgatory, with all kinds of disasters, and all living beings are miserable and struggling to survive.

Taohua Village, on the other hand, is a paradise that has not been disturbed by disputes and has not been in contact with the outside world since ancient times. No villagers have ever left, and no outsiders have ever come in.

When I first heard about it, my curiosity naturally grew like wild grass and it was hard to suppress it.

“Where are you? Are you kidding me?”

Jiang Wuye rushed over and saw Long Xiaotian blocking the foot of the mountain with a few big men from the iron tower. They seemed to be talking to someone, and exaggerated words were heard from time to time. exclaimed.

Seeing this, he took three steps and stepped forward to push away a few Tie Hanhan.

Taking a closer look, he saw a fisherman standing in front of the narrow cave, wearing a ragged coir raincoat and an old bamboo hat, with a skinny figure and a miserable face.

The fisherman stooped and raised his head to look at the group of them carefully. Occasionally he could see the paradise in the distance through the cracks in the crowd, and his eyes were full of excitement and longing.

“Old man, are you really from the outside world?”

Jiang Wuye asked subconsciously, looking at the fisherman who had gone through many vicissitudes of life and suffering.

For some reason, as soon as he saw the old man, the excitement he had just felt faded inexplicably, and was replaced by a sense of unfounded disgust.

This feeling of disgust even gave him the urge to rush up and beat the old man severely.

“Ahem…yes, little brother. I am from Funiu Village, more than thirty miles away from here. I make a living by fishing all year round. Today there is fog on the river. I wandered around and accidentally entered a peach forest. I was curious… …”

The old man nodded and explained carefully while coughing, with a look of sorrow on his face.

“Old man, old man, what’s the outside world like?”

Long Xiaotian and others made way for the passage and led the fisherman towards the village. He was as curious as a baby, asking all kinds of questions non-stop.

“Oh, compared to this place, it’s like hell.”

“Huh? I used to think that the old men were scaring us. Is this really the case?”

“Yes, monsters are causing trouble at night, and during the day we have to guard against robbers and bandits, making the people miserable. Ahem, ordinary people like us are no different from weeds on the roadside…” “Robbers, monsters, what do they look like

? “

…

The group of people left while chatting. Not far away, Long Xiaotian turned back and called Jiang Wuye in front of the cave, asking him to follow them quickly.

Strange…

Jiang Wuye frowned and glanced at the hunched fisherman in the crowd, then looked back at the cave in front of him. He always felt that everything happened too deliberately, as if it had been arranged by someone.

Haha, I’m thinking about these again.

After a moment, he shook his head and laughed to himself, glanced at the deep cave, suppressed the inexplicable feeling of familiarity in his heart, turned around and quickly caught up with Long Xiaotian and his party.

An outsider has come to Taohua Village!

As Jiang Wuye and others returned to the village, the news quickly spread throughout the village like a spark of fire.

Men, women, old and young all came after hearing the sound, and surrounded the entrance of the village three floors inside and three floors outside. They seemed to be looking at some rare treasures. This made the fisherman, who was usually calm, feel uneasy. He could only keep smiling and occasionally answer questions carefully. .

The commotion continued until noon, when the elders in the village dispersed the crowd and everyone went back to their homes.

The fisherman, of course, received warm hospitality from Peach Blossom Village.

That night, pigs and chickens were slaughtered in the village, a banquet was held, and a bonfire party was held. The villagers led the well-fed fishermen to sing and dance, talking about the legend of the Peach Blossom Fairy, and singing about happy and healthy daily life.

All this made the long-lost happy smile reappear on the fisherman’s face. He forgot his worries, sang and laughed, got very drunk, and finally slept at someone’s house.

In this way, some time passed.

On the sixth day, the fisherman said goodbye because he missed his relatives at home and had to leave.

The people of Taohua Village had no objection to this and carefully selected some gifts for the fisherman. Almost the whole village mobilized to deliver the fisherman to the cave.

Before leaving, an old man in the village with a cane and a white beard hanging down his chest seriously told the fisherman that after he went out, he must not tell others about the location of the Peach Blossom Spring, especially those with evil intentions, so as not to cause disputes.

“Brother, don’t worry. I’m half buried in the earth. I naturally have a sense of discretion and will not do such reckless things.”

The fisherman patted his chest and assured with a sincere attitude and nodded heavily.

Before leaving, he thanked the villagers who had taken care of him in the past few days, and finally bowed deeply to everyone. Then he reluctantly took the gifts given to him by the villagers, turned around and entered the cave, and his figure gradually disappeared. in.

The fisherman leaves.

Like a stone thrown into a pond, it creates brief ripples and then quickly dissipates.

Jiang Wuye, who had been shamelessly feasting on food for a few days, and the other lazy men returned to their old ways of not doing their job properly, eating and waiting to die.

Occasionally, when I talk about fishermen, I can only think of the tables of delicious food and my mouth watering.

The days passed peacefully.

The fisherman has long become an interesting thing that Taohua villagers occasionally mention after dinner, but that’s all.

Because, as the peach blossoms in the village bloomed, magically turning from pink to red, the villagers had a more important topic to discuss – the Peach Blossom Festival.

At this time of year, Peach Blossom Villagers will dress up in costumes, kill three animals, carry grains, and worship the Peach Blossom Fairy with pious hearts and loud music.

As for the Peach Blossom Fairy.

Naturally, it was the towering peach tree in the village that had grown for who knows how long.

“You should be grateful. Yesterday’s peace and future prosperity are all given by the Peach Blossom Fairy.

You should remember…”

The blood-red petals scattered on the ground. Under the shade of the trees that blocked the sky, the young and old in the village stood quietly in front of the thick vicissitudes of life tree trunks. , listening to the passionate praises of the clan elders, his eyes showed piety.

“Tiedan, don’t look around. This is disrespectful to the Peach Blossom Fairy.”

Among the crowd, people felt inexplicably restless and looked around. Jiang Wuye, who was like an ant on a hot pot, was scolded by his sister-in-law beside him, and followed closely. And the niece’s eyes rolled.

“Shut up!!”

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wuye seemed to have done something wrong. He looked furious and ferocious, with red eyes, he yelled at the mother and daughter unceremoniously. His voice was so loud that it even overshadowed the elders under the tree. A pair of eyes with undisguised anger quickly came over.

“Second son of the Qian family, is this the place where you committed a crime?”

Under the tree trunk, the white-haired old man looked calm and looked at Jiang Wuye without getting angry.

“Yes… right… that’s enough!!”

Jiang Wuye stiffened and subconsciously wanted to apologize.

But all kinds of irritable and chaotic thoughts kept popping up in his mind, like wild beasts that sensed the impending danger, roaring loudly to vent their uneasiness.

“Come here…”

Suddenly, a cool breath poured into his brain, and there seemed to be a faint consciousness coming from the peach tree, calling him.

However, this consciousness seems to be too weak and fleeting to convey more information.

But, even so, Jiang Wuye’s expression was still shocked, and his confused eyes turned to determination. He directly pushed the mother and daughter in front of him and strode towards the peach tree.

“Tiedan, you are blaspheming the Peach Blossom Fairy. You want to apologize to the whole village. Stop him!”

The expression of the old man under the tree finally changed and he warned coldly.

“Get out!”

Jiang Wuye’s eyes were red and he was staring at the tree trunk that a dozen people could not hug.

With a wave of his hand, there was a slight roar in his body, but it brought incredible strength, and the five or six strong men who came forward were directly thrown away, unable to get up.

“Tiedan, don’t make a mistake…”

The mother and daughter huddled together, not daring to look directly at the evil-looking Jiang Wuye, but they still warned tremblingly.

Whispering –

the towering peach trees seemed to be angry, swaying violently, scarlet petals flying all over the sky, covering the village, along with the originally pink peach blossoms in the village, and even the blue sky, gradually glowed with an ominous red light.

Tap tap tap!

No matter what the outside world was like, it could not affect Jiang Wuye in the slightest. He was like a crazy bear with one muscle, so fierce that no one dared to stop him, and he ran straight towards the peach tree with heavy steps.

Ho-ho ho ho!

In his mind, a weak roar contained long-repressed anger, gradually expanding, tending to occupy the entire ocean of consciousness.

brush!

In the canopy thatched house, the flower demon opened his eyes suddenly, feeling uneasy.

“It was a miscalculation. I didn’t expect your enemy’s consciousness to be so tenacious. After so many days, I thought he had completely fallen. But I didn’t expect that as soon as I

felt the danger was coming, I instinctively recovered and struggled.

Now that the reincarnation of Peach Blossom Spring has begun, I The remaining energy is only enough to suppress the extreme martial arts cultivator. You have recovered, go down and kill him quickly, don’t let him fully wake up and recover, and misfortune will happen!”

Grandma Peach Tree’s urgent voice sounded outside the wooden house, Hua Hua When the demon heard this, his face turned ugly, and then turned to resentment, and he gritted his teeth: “My good husband, you are really capable of making trouble!” Phew

!

As the sound fell, the delicate body turned into pieces of peach blossoms, whipped up by the strong wind, and roared towards the tree.

“It’s not good!!”

Today may be destined to be a disaster for Peach Blossom Village.

When Jiang Wuye walked up to the tree trunk unimpeded and reached out to touch the bark, his face filled with confusion, frightened cries rang out from behind the crowd.

The villagers temporarily diverted their attention and looked back. They saw Long Xiaotian and the five iron tower men stumbling towards this side like frightened rabbits. They kept crying: “That fisherman, that damn fisherman…” A lot of murderous people are back!!”

“What?!”

There was a panic and uproar, without waiting for anyone to ask carefully. At the corner of the village road, footsteps sounded like thunder, and a large group of strong men with swords and fierce looks appeared. Led by an old man with a look of remorse and self-blame on his face, they walked toward the peach tree with a sinister smile.

“Keep the young woman here, and round up the others and kill them! Grandma, such a good place deserves to be owned by our Yingshan bandits!” From a

distance, the domineering and arrogant shouts rang out.

Under the reddish sunlight, the swords gleamed with cold light, bringing with them an aura of violence and killing that they had never experienced before. The villagers’ bodies instantly became cold, and they huddled together like lambs, not knowing how to respond.

Jiang Wuye turned a deaf ear to all this. He put his big hands on the trunk of the peach tree, closed his eyes and felt the chaotic consciousness in the tree that kept calling him. Some things in his mind that were covered up were like clouds and mist, and a vague corner was revealed.

“Little brother… have you remembered your name?”

Finally, a difficult but clear voice came from the tree.

boom!

In an instant, Jiang Wuye’s mind was filled with chaos. Amidst the endless chaos, a green light that seemed to have been dormant for a long time revived and shone, instantly dispelling all the fog.

“I am Zhang Sijiu, the mountain god of Xiyun Mountain. Mortal, what is your name?” “

My name is Jiang Wuye, the Jiang of Jianghe, the invincible Wu, the night of the dark night.” ”   Well

, just remember it.”

——I

exhaled a breath of turbid air, and my eyes became clear.

Jiang Wuye stood up, and the eyes of the powerful bear Zhenzu in the sea of consciousness opened and closed, exuding the meaning of endless fighting.

Within his body, the dormant terrifying energy and blood quickly revived, and wisps of blood mist emerged from his pores, turning into smoke and rising into the sky.

boom!

The blood flames all over his body burned fiercely, like the sun in a furnace, and the domineering masculine energy swept out and quickly enveloped all directions.

Wherever they passed, black smoke rose from the heads of the villagers. Their eyes turned from panic to confusion, and finally woke up, looking around at a loss.

“Where is this? Why am I wearing such clothes, and where did those bandits come from? Haven’t there been no bandits near Leyang for a long time?” When I woke up from the dream, there were

constant uproar.

Buzzing –

In the crowd, the struggle on Long Aotian’s face turned into horror. The strong energy and blood in his lean body rumbled, his bones crackled, and a ferocious ape was roaring, roaring incessantly.

Moo——

The five iron tower men woke up immediately, the sound of cow mooing sounded in their bodies, the already exaggerated muscles in their bodies expanded again, their eyes were blood red, and bursts of hot air were sprayed from their noses, like five bull demons , will go crazy the next moment.

The beautiful woman, Qian Xiaoya, also woke up. Different ferocious beasts revived in her body, and her aura changed from soft to sharp.

Whoops!

“Asshole, why so fast?!”

The wind roared overhead, mixed with the sound of vicious curses. He was about to land, but he turned around and fled to the top of the tree in terror.

“Madam, long time no see!”

Jiang Wuye looked up, saw the enchanting figure looming among the tornado-like peach petals, and grinned ferociously.

Bang! !

The earth exploded, and the layers of earth waved like a frenzy, undulating and breaking. The bloody figure tore through the void and leaped ten meters into the air.

Chi la la –

the ten fingers turned into eagle claws, running and jumping on the wide tree trunk, as if walking on flat ground, large pieces of torn wood were ignited by the blood flames, and flew downwards like skyfire meteors.

Although I am very busy at work, I am not a eunuch. Please rest assured.
