Sleeping Arhat

Chapter 29

Wu Xian remembered that in the original book, in order to win Zhang Wuji's trust, Zhu Changling first burned the gorgeous and exquisite Hongmei Villa, and then seemed to live in the cellar under the Meizhuang, and finally lived in several wooden houses, until one night, Zhang Wuji After discovering that Zhu Jiuzhen and the others had deceived him, he ran wildly to a certain mountain peak, was overtaken by Zhu Changling and others, and finally jumped off the cliff.

For ten consecutive days, he wandered for dozens of miles near Hongmei Mountain Villa for a long time. Because of the overlapping mountains and towering terrain, the journey was not fast. Wu Xian no longer had any hope of finding the Nine Suns Scripture, because of the many mountains and cliffs. , Wu Xian really didn't know which cliff to start from.

Regardless of whether it is possible to find the cliff that hides the Nine Suns, ordinary martial arts masters will die ten times if they jump off the cliff. Although he has achieved some success, compared with the older generation of masters, Wu Xian's internal strength is not as deep as it is, but if he tied a long rope to a tree and then went down the cliff along the rope, Wu Xian would have some confidence.

In the evening, Wu Xian found a cave on the mountainside, sitting alone in front of the cave, in the dark cave, the deep yellow flame illuminated the gray-black stone wall, watching the sunset at the end of the world, the afterglow of the setting sun Shed the last gleam of light, and then quietly hid in the mountains.

Suddenly, Wu Xian felt as if the whole world was lonely. The outside of the cave was vast and sparsely populated. The green ancient pines stood gracefully on the soil, and wild grasses also quietly climbed up the hill. The world in front of him was still and vast. .

Wu Xian leaned back against the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, took a sip of strong wine, loneliness and loneliness crept into his heart at this moment, stretched out his hand to hold it, and grabbed a handful of broken stones in his hand, and shot the stones ten feet away one by one On the big tree, whispered in his mouth: "One, two..."

Just when Wu Xian was bored, a figure climbed up the hill from a distance, gradually, he walked over slowly, although his hair was tied with a cloth, but a lot of hair came out and scattered everywhere, he He walked over very staggeringly, his wheat-colored face was a little pale, and his coarse clothes were ragged and full of tears, exposing the skin inside.

Wu Xian took another sip of wine, and his depressed mood was relieved a little. He kept watching him as he came over. Very honest.

"Excuse me, can I rest in the cave for one night?" the young man summoned up his courage and said.Wu Xian looked at him sideways, and said with a gentle smile, "You can do whatever you want." Then Wu Xian quietly looked at the gradually darkening sky.

After nightfall, a bright moon rises in the sky, and the pure and flawless moonlight also falls, covering the grassland, big trees, and high mountains outside the cave with a layer of soft brilliance.

In the hole, a snow rabbit is roasting on the fire. The fat and tender rabbit is worn on a branch, and the branch is spinning on the support. After a while, the rabbit is covered with golden oil, and the rabbit is burnt and tender. Zhan Huang, the faint smell of meat has been lingering on the tip of the noses of the two of them, and the gluttons in Wu Xian's stomach have been hooked out.

Wu Xian was earnestly roasting the rabbit, and when he wasn't paying attention, he caught sight of the down-and-out young man. Although he was sitting on the ground, his body was facing the fire, but his head was always tilted to the left, and his eyes were always looking at the bare rock wall. Faintly, Wu Xian seemed to see his throat moving.

Wu Xian was a little dazed and thought: He is just a young man who is similar to himself, but he is also alone in this barren mountain, which is pitiful.

When the rabbit was roasted until it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, Wu Xian simply took the rabbit off, "Hoohoo." The freshly roasted fat rabbit was boiling hot, Wu Xian kept blowing air in his mouth, and moved his hands back and forth. Pulling the rabbit, a fat rabbit leg was torn off in two or three strokes, and then shouted at the boy: "Go on."

The young man was taken aback, and hurriedly caught the rabbit's leg happily. He was also scalded by the hot rabbit's leg. He let out a cry of surprise, and then he ate mouthful after mouthful. He raised his head from time to time, and kept spitting hot air from his mouth.

"Can you drink?" Wu Xian took a sip of wine and looked at the boy.

"I'll drink a little." The boy hesitated, then said.

Wu Xian threw the wine gourd to him, and the two drank it one after another, "In this cold weather, drink some wine to warm you up." Wu Xian said boldly.

After drinking and eating, the two sat around the fire, Wu Xian asked, "My name is Wu Xian, I don't know what your name is brother."

The young man thought: I have received a favor from my benefactor, so I must not deceive my benefactor. Besides, Mr. Hu once said that I only have one year to live. I think I will not be able to see the next New Year after this year's New Year.

The indescribable complex feelings in the young man's heart include the longing to be reunited with his parents soon, but also the longing for the worldly affairs, the reluctance to let go of his master, his senior uncles, Zhiruo, and his younger sister Buhui, and his reluctance to be far away overseas. The foster father, who is lonely on the island, is very worried. The foster father is blind, and he may have stayed on the island for the rest of his life. Thinking about his old hind legs and feet, he cannot hunt, and he is afraid that he will starve to death on the island. Adoptive father, forgive the child Can't be filial... The young man's face was full of bitterness, his eyes were unknowingly moist, and several thoughts flashed through his mind in just a short moment.

Grief started from the heart, the young man was depressed and distressed, suddenly, the cold poison broke out, the young man's face was blue and white for a while, his lips were trembling constantly, and his eyebrows and eyes were suddenly covered with frost.

Seeing this, Wu Xian was startled, and immediately tested the young man's body temperature with his hands, and it turned out to be abnormally cold, Wu Xian thought for a while: I'm afraid this is Zhang Wuji.Although he had doubts before, Wu Xian was not quite sure, but now the young man's cold poison attack completely dispelled Wu Xian's doubts.

Wu Xian immediately shouted: "Open your mouth." Although the cold poison invaded his body at this moment, the boy's body curled up subconsciously, but his mind was still clear, and he opened his lips tremblingly. Reinforcing the body and preparing to exercise power to resist cold poison.

Wu Xian was circulating his internal energy, and stretched out his hands to touch the young man's back, ready to use his internal force to suppress the cold poison, the young man opened his eyes slowly, smiled weakly, and then said: "Thank you for your kindness, but it's all right now gone."

Wu Xian withdrew his hands resentfully, and then said with concern: "What's wrong with you? Why does your whole body feel as cold as ten thousand years of ice when you get an attack? You can't warm it with fire or wine."

The young man lowered his head sadly and didn't answer, his heart was low, then he raised his head and said: "Next Zhang Wuji, thank you for your kindness, but I really can't repay you this time." Zhang Wuji was even more sad when he said this.
