Moonlight and wind

Shan Zimo and his group left Qingshi Village and continued to walk eastward. There were dense forests on both sides of the road. Shan Zimo and Qu Xuanyue rode horses. "How do you feel?" Shan Zimo asked softly. "Hmm?" Qu Xuanyue seemed to be distracted, and only came back to his senses after Shan Zimo asked this question. "I don't feel any difference," Qu Xuanyue raised one arm, stretched out his slender hand to Shan Zimo, and shook it with five fingers spread out.

Shan Zimo couldn't control himself and stretched out his hand. The two of them interlocked their fingers and held them together! In an instant, Xuanyue's face turned red with shame! She quickly shook Shan Zimo's hand off and ran forward a few steps. "I didn't mean it!" Shan Zimo realized his abruptness and quickly chased after him.

"You may not believe it," Shan Zimo tried his best to pretend that nothing happened, letting go of the reins in his hand and resting his hands behind his head, "You look very much like me..." Shan Zimo suddenly didn't know how to address Qin Yumeng, classmate? Friend? Secret crush? "An old friend." "Whose family is she from?" For some reason, Qu Xuanyue seemed a little disappointed. "She is not a lady from any family, she is not in this world." "What a pity, young master, don't be too sad." "No! No! She is not dead!" Shan Zimo waved his hands quickly, "Well, it's hard to explain." Shan Zimo and the other fell into silence again.

"Young Master," Shan Zimo poked his head out of the carriage, "Take a rest for a while, my waist is about to break!" "Okay, let's rest under the big tree in front!" Shan Zimo saw a huge tree not far ahead, and it took four or five people to hug it! Shan Zimo and his group came under the tree and sat down to rest.

"Miss Que," Yi-Yi Hui leaned against the tree, "how do you feel the inner strength in your body?" It turned out that Shan Zimo was not the only one who was paying attention to the inner strength that Que Xuanyue inherited from the old man. "I don't feel anything," Que Xuanyue tried to feel the difference in her body, but finally shook her head, "It's the same as before." "Maybe it's because I'm missing an opportunity," Yi-Yi Hui touched his chin. "What can you do?" Shan Zimo leaned forward.

"Although Miss Que has internal energy in her body, it has not been circulated in the meridians. It is just some essence floating in the body," Yi Kehui suddenly became troubled again, "but the old man walked too fast, and we don't know what his internal energy is guided by to promote the transformation of internal energy." "Where is the dragon scale jade pendant?" Shan Zimo lifted the jade pendant on his waist. "No, the guide is matched with the internal energy. For example, the Snow Shadow Divine Art of the Snow Shadow Hall is guided by cold air, and the internal energy of the Luo Hu Sect is guided by the spirit snake venom. It is difficult to determine the guide for the essence naturally absorbed by the old man's jade."

"Wouldn't it be a waste to learn this inner strength?" Li lay under the tree, crossing his legs. "Let's wait and see, maybe the opportunity has not come yet," Yi Yanhui said with a smile, "So, Miss Que, don't be too anxious about this matter." Que Xuanyue nodded.

"Don't make any noise!" Shan Boyu suddenly stood up, "There's someone!" Everyone stood up, hid behind the big trees, and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

"What bad luck!" A voice came, "We are given this broken road again! How many people can be on this road!" "That's right! He is the second in command! When the first in command is not here, he acts like a tyrant!" "Why don't we just do it alone! I've had enough of that village!" "That's right! They are clearly doing the work of bandits, but they want to put up a memorial archway and rob the rich to help the poor? I have disliked the second in command for a long time!" "Why don't we go back and find our brothers, and take over the village while the first in command is not here!" "Of course!"

"Good fellow!" Li was a little excited, "We have encountered bandits!" "Less trouble is worse than more trouble, don't act rashly!" Yi Yanhui said sternly. As he was speaking, the two bandits had bypassed them and left. "This village is going to have an internal conflict!" Li jumped to tidy up the carriage. "It's not a legitimate business to begin with, it's better to destroy it!" Yi Yanhui also followed and walked to the carriage.

"But why does it sound like the second in command is a good person?" Zi Ling'er helped Xuanyue get on the carriage. "We should hurry!" Zi Zhong urged Zi Ling'er to get on the carriage, closed the curtain, and sat with Li to drive. Shan Zimo and Shan Boyu followed behind the carriage on horseback, neither of them wanted to talk to the other.

There was no conversation along the way. Shan Zimo and his companions came to a boundary marker with "Langquan" written on it. Shan Zimo looked out of the car window and said, "This is the border between the easternmost part of the North Country and the northernmost part of the East China Sea. After passing this place, we will officially set foot on the land of the East China Sea!" Shan Zimo looked up at the sky. It was getting dark. "Is there a place to rest nearby?" "I'm not very familiar with it either," Shan Zimo scratched his head. "Since there is a boundary marker, there must be small villages and towns nearby." Shan Zimo nodded and continued to ride forward.

But for some reason, the surrounding scenery became more and more desolate. Not to mention the villages and towns, there was not even a thatched house in sight! "We can't be lost, right?" Shan Boyu stood up on the horse and looked into the distance. "How can we get lost on this road? Let's go back to Xueying Hall!" Shan Zimo was speechless. He thought to himself, in this desolate wilderness, without a place to stay, who knows what will happen!

Shan Zimo and his group continued to move forward. It was already completely dark. Zi Zhong hung a lantern on the carriage to barely illuminate it. The flickering shadow of the lantern was a bit creepy from a distance! "Brother Zi Zhong!" Li suddenly patted Zi Zhong beside him, "Look, is that a house?" Everyone looked in the direction of Li's finger, and sure enough, there was a house standing in the darkness not far away.

Shan Zimo and his companions quickened their pace and came to the house. When they got closer, they found that it was an abandoned temple! Shan Boyu was the first to walk into the temple. There was a headless statue enshrined inside, which was really shabby. "Can we live here?" Shan Zimo was a little scared. He knew that with this environment and atmosphere, if a ghost didn't jump out from under the altar, it would be a shame to the scenery! "For now, we can only make do here!" Although Yi Yihui was not very willing, he still got off the carriage and looked around.

Fortunately, this temple is not much else except that it is a little shabby and weird, because there is really nothing else to say! Zi Zhong started a fire in the middle of the temple, and everyone sat around the fire to rest. "Young Master, there is a small courtyard behind this temple!" Li ran in from outside the temple holding a lantern, "Unfortunately, there is nothing here. It seems that no one has been here for a long time."

"Even passers-by like us are not here?" Shan Zimo became more and more suspicious. "No, no one has been here for at least half a year!" "Is this prepared for us?" Shan Zimo felt like Truman again! "It seems that we should not sleep too deeply tonight, maybe someone will come!" Shan Zimo looked very confident.

"I can't tell," Yi Yi looked at Shan Zimo with admiration, "Master Shan has the ability to predict the future?" "I call this the God's perspective!" "Which dynasty is God the emperor of?" Li asked in confusion. "Don't ask, the answer is that God is a girl!" "Why?" Xuanyue also became curious.

"Because, God is a girl!" Shan Zimo laughed. "Don't listen to the young master's nonsense, he likes to say weird things!" Shan Boyu rolled his eyes.
