Chapter 6 Thaumaturgy(1/2)
~Date: ~September 21~
,*
【Netww.】It's late at night again.
Zhang Xiaofan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Even Xiao Hui, the monkey beside him, opened his eyes wide and looked at him with blinking. As for the other senior brothers, they had already snored loudly, even Dahuang, who was lying on the ground and asleep.
The moonlight shines in from the window and sprinkles on the ground like frost and snow.
Zhang Xiaofan quietly got up, and Xiaohui immediately rushed into his arms. Zhang Xiaofan hugged it, touched its head, and walked outward.
The corridor is clear and there is no sound.
He smiled bitterly in his heart. Since he arrived at Tongtian Peak, he had almost never slept peacefully for a night. Thinking of the competition with Lu Xueqi tomorrow, he still felt indescribable nervousness.
At this moment, Xiao Hui, the monkey in his arms, suddenly moved uneasyly. Zhang Xiaofan looked at it and saw that under the moonlight, Xiao Hui's smart eyes were looking at the shadow in front of him.
In the darkness, it seemed as if a figure flashed by.
Zhang Xiaofan's heart moved and followed.
The figure did not run fast, and his shoulders seemed to be shaking while running, but he seemed to be crying. Zhang Xiaofan looked from afar and recognized it as Tian Ling'er, and felt even more strange. At the same time, he looked at his senior sister crying, and felt a little sad again.
Tian Ling'er ran straight to the sea of clouds, came to the ring in the center, and saw that there was no one around, as if she could no longer bear it, and squatted on the ground and cried.
Zhang Xiaofan had never seen his senior sister so sad. He felt a dazed in his mind. He slowly walked to her side and shouted softly: "Senior Sister, you..."
Tian Ling'er was startled and jumped up and turned around. When she saw that it was Zhang Xiaofan, she felt relieved. Then her heart felt sad again. She couldn't help but throw herself into Zhang Xiaofan's arms and cried loudly on his shoulder.
Zhang Xiaofan's body suddenly became stiff, his whole body was petrified, and he could no longer move.
Her sob echoed in her ears, and she felt the faint warmth of her body from her shoulders, as if the scene that was often seen in her dreams actually happened today. A faint fragrance that seemed to be there and not existed vaguely came.
Zhang Xiaofan stood like this and looked into the distance. Although he had countless thoughts in his heart to hug the woman, he finally didn't.
Maybe if you really embrace you, your life will be different from now on, right?
At this time, Tian Ling'er left his shoulders. Zhang Xiaofan's heart was empty, and he felt vaguely that he had lost something.
His shoulders were wet with tears.
Tian Ling'er rubbed her red eyes with her hands, saw Zhang Xiaofan's shoulders wet by her crying, her face turned red, and she said, "I'm sorry, Xiaofan."
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and said, "Senior Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Tian Ling'er was about to speak, but she heard something under her feet squeaking twice. When she looked down, Xiao Hui followed her. She bent down silently and hugged Xiao Hui in her arms.
"I have never been before, Xiaofan, I have never been before." The woman stood in the dark moonlight, desolate and beautiful, and said to Zhang Xiaofan with a little sadness: "Dad and mother have never scolded me like this."
Looking at the beautiful face in sorrow, Zhang Xiaofan felt a torn pain in his heart, as if her sorrow was brought to her by himself. He insisted on calming his mind and said softly: "Senior sister, what's wrong? Master, why did the master's wife scold you?"
Tian Ling'er hesitated for a moment and looked up at Zhang Xiaofan. Since childhood, this junior brother has always been her closest playmate except her parents. At this moment, she seemed to have a vague idea in her heart: When did Junior Brother Xiaofan start to be so gentle to me?
However, this thought flashed through her. Her heart was filled with sadness at this moment. Finally, she cried to Zhang Xiaofan: "It's all for Brother Qi Hao!"
Zhang Xiaofan's face turned pale and he couldn't help but hold his fist. He clenched so tightly that his nails pricked deeply into his palms.
"You don't know yet?" Once Tian Ling'er opened the conversation, she was no longer wary of this junior brother, but Zhang Xiaofan shouted in her heart: "I know, I know, I have known it a long time ago!"
The moonlight is cold and spreads all over the world.
"Senior Brother Qi Hao is in love with me. I told them that I really like him." Tian Ling'er calmed down a little, but didn't notice that every time she said something, a little bloody color on Zhang Xiaofan's face.
"... But my father scolded me loudly, saying that I was ignorant, and even my mother who always loved me changed her face and stood on my father's side. How could this happen, Xiaofan?"
Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head, preventing Tian Ling'er from seeing her face, and whispered: "Master, how could Master's wife know?"
Tian Ling'er was in a state of excitement, not noticed any flaws or strangeness in Zhang Xiaofan's words. The corners of her mouth were flattened and she almost cried again: "I didn't expect it, but later I realized that it was Senior Sister Wenmin, who lived with me, who told Master Shuiyue, and Master Shuiyue told my mother again. Senior Sister Wenmin and the others were so good, so they told them many times, but they still said it, I, I..."
Her eyes felt sore, and tears finally flowed out.
Zhang Xiaofan said in a stern voice: "Master, Master, the master's wife are for your own good. They are your parents and will never be bad to you!"
Tian Ling'er wiped away the tears in the corners of her eyes and said loudly: "What do they know! They only understand the views of the sect, only know that Brother Qi Hao is the proud disciple of Master Cangsong of Longshoufeng, only know that if Brother Qi Hao and I get along, they will not be able to raise their heads in the Qingyun Sect, and they have never thought about it for me."
She said with a little sadness, anger, and even a little resolutely: "What do those faces compare to my happiness? I really doubt whether they value face or my daughter?"
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly looked up and looked at the senior sister who suddenly became unfamiliar.
What a sad look that was!
He was wandering and helpless, like a bird that had lost his parents standing alone in the wind and rain, with a hint of panic in his sorrow, piercing his soul like a knife!
Zhang Xiaofan was almost immediately defeated by this look, and a sadness that had never been seen arises from his heart. If he could bear the pain for this woman, he would be willing to bear the pain of his shoulders no matter what kind of difficulties he had, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only shout softly: "Senior Sister!"
"I want to be with him," Tian Ling'er said resolutely. Instead of what she said to Zhang Xiaofan, it would be better to say that she was speaking to her heart and to the Tian Buyi and his wife who were not here: "I must be with Senior Brother Qi Hao. We have vowed each other. No matter how much my parents object, we will be together even if we wait until the sea is gone."
She looked up at the night sky and sweared to the bright moon. The cold moonlight was quietly spreading on her body. She was as beautiful as a lily blooming at night with sadness, making people dazzling her beauty and forget the desolate and heart-dead shadow beside her.
Standing at a high place, the rising sun shone warmly on Zhang Xiaofan's body, warming his body but not warming his heart. He stood on the ring expressionlessly, facing Lu Xueqi, who was as beautiful as a fairy standing opposite him.
The contempt in the frost woman's eyes was so obvious that everyone knew above the square that he entered the top four mainly by luck rather than strength.
Behind her, the sky emitted a faint blue light. Zhang Xiaofan looked at the legendary divine object and thought lightly: After a while, will it be if he faced him?
Then, he forgot about this problem for a moment, and since he came back last night, his spirits were ups and downs in a trance.
There were only two big arenas left above the sea of clouds at this moment, but judging from the number of Qingyun disciples watching the number of Qingyun, the number of people watching the competition between Qi Hao and Zeng "Net" in the West is probably less than 30% here. Almost everyone was attracted by Lu Xueqi, who was the most popular this time and Zhang Xiaofan, Zhang.
Among the elders, most of them, including the head Dao Zhenren, also sat under this arena.
However, when everyone saw Lu Xueqi climbing onto the ring, after a burst of cheers in the crowd, it was mostly about discussing whether Zhang Xiaofan would lose in one breath or another.
In the audience, Tian Buyi frowned. Even though he knew Zhang Xiaofan's background very clearly, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard the contemptuous discussions from the people behind him. However, Su Ru, who was sitting next to him, was looking around for her daughter.
There was a big quarrel last night, and Tian Ling'er ran away crying and disappeared early this morning. As her mother knows her daughter, I am afraid that this stubborn daughter will go to Qi Hao's competition arena.
She shook her head. Although she loved this only daughter very much, this time she was completely on her husband's side. Perhaps this was her mother's instinct!
She always felt that the people in Longshou Peak were not very good.
She turned her head and looked at the stage. At the same time, Zhang Xiaofan on the stage also looked at her expressionlessly. Their eyes met in the air. After a moment, Zhang Xiaofan looked beside her, as if she had not found the person she was looking for, and silently took her eyes back.
Su Ru frowned slightly and said to Tian Buyi: "Xiaofan's expression today is a bit wrong, as if he is dead."
Tian Buyi said lightly: "He is just nervous. It is not surprising that the child has never seen the world."
Su Ru fell silent and stopped talking.
Zhang Xiaofan withdrew his gaze and fell on Lu Xueqi's face opposite. The beautiful face in the rising sun was radiant and colorful. Soon, Lu Xueqi felt Zhang Xiaofan's gaze, and there was another disdain in her eyes.
But this time, Zhang Xiaofan did not avoid it anymore. He didn't even feel the sarcastic look on the other side. His beautiful face had no meaning to him at this moment. He could only recite a sentence in a low and painful way in his heart: "She is not here, she is going to see Qi Hao's competition!"
As smart as Lu Xueqi, she soon discovered that the opponent was just looking at him, but in his empty eyes, he was clearly thinking about something else and completely ignoring his existence. This was almost the first time in her life, and a hint of surprise seemed to appear in her eyes.
"when!"
The bells and tripods ring together, echoing on Tongtian Peak. The surroundings quickly became quiet.
Lu Xueqi straightened her body and took a deep breath. As long as she won two more games, she could realize her dream and her mentor's expectations. The sky was behind her, and the blue light gradually brightened.
"Lu Xueqi, a disciple of Xiaozhu Peak, please give me advice."
Zhang Xiaofanru woke up from a dream, but his first reaction was not to return the gift, but to look down at the audience with great expectations. There was a sensation and attention, but there was no figure of the person he wanted to see.
Lu Xueqi's face changed, and Qingyun's disciples were also in an uproar. This was the first person who was so rude to Lu Xueqi. Tian Buyi and Su Ru looked at each other and realized that something was wrong with this little disciple today.
Zhang Xiaofan slowly turned his head, his face turned as if dead, and said lightly: "I am Zhang Xiaofan of Dazhu Peak. Please don't ask your subordinates to show mercy."
Lu Xueqi was stunned. Although what she said before the competition was just polite words, Zhang Xiaofan looked very strange. No one would say anything that was not merciful. It sounded like a sarcastic word, but he didn't look like him.
After all, Lu Xueqi is a proud disciple of Master Shuiyue. She is determined and her expression remains unchanged on her face. She doesn't say anything more. After comparing her right hand, the "Tian Jue" behind her slowly rises.
Zhang Xiaofan watched the blue light getting deeper and bigger, and it was blue when he shone on his body, but he could no longer find any nervous feeling. Instead, he was looking forward to something deep in his heart.
He took out the black and ugly fire stick.
There was a burst of laughter from the audience. Compared with the noble and fairy-like "Tian Ju" opposite, the fire stick was like an ugly insect on the ground.
And at this moment, it was still a worm that was heartbroken.
The cold feeling filled the whole body again. For some reason, today, the fire stick seemed to have spirituality, and the cold feeling was swimming much faster than before.
Zhang Xiaofan even felt that if he hadn't felt that he was connected with the fire stick, if he hadn't held the fire stick, he would have rushed towards Lu Xueqi long ago.
No, it should not be directed towards Lu Xueqi, but towards Tianzhao. That inexplicable feeling was like two enemies with deep hatred.
At this moment, Lu Xueqi's face suddenly changed. The sky was so bright that she seemed a little strange!
But Zhang Xiaofan had no intention of thinking. He looked at the beautiful woman in the blue light and suddenly realized that she looked like a senior sister, but the "senior sister" looked at him coldly with a cold look.
An unexpected thing happened on the ring. Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi did not take action, but just stared at each other and remained motionless.
There was an uproar in the offense and there was a lot of discussion.
Lu Xueqi suddenly woke up. Tian Jia, who had always been spiritually connected to her, suddenly had a strange movement that had never happened in the past, which made her feel strange. However, when she used her mind to check Tian Jia, there was nothing unusual, just as if Tian Jia had a vague feeling of eagerness to try.
Feeling countless strange gazes off the court, Lu Xueqi frowned, calmed down, snorted coldly, and expelled all kinds of thoughts from her mind. With a light shout, the blue light in the sky was blooming and soaring into the sky, but it still did not sheath.
Since the seven-member martial arts competition, Tianzha has become the focus of everyone's attention, but until now, Lu Xueqi has defeated all opponents one by one without being sheathed, which also made everyone guess who could let her draw the magic sword. At this time, everyone guessed that it would be necessary to fight to the final decisive battle, with the cultivation level of Qi Hao of Longshou Peak, to achieve this!
The blue light was reflected on Zhang Xiaofan's face, but he could not see any expression. The black fire stick emitted a faint green light, slowly left his palm and stopped in front of him.
Although I had already taken this fire stick to see it, the people on the Dazhu Peak, including most of the people watching, saw Zhang Xiaofan casting spells for the first time.
To be continued...
