In the night, a man and a woman were walking towards a brightly lit city at the border of the Western Regions. However, the posture of the man and woman was a bit strange. The woman was carrying the man on her back while the man was carrying a purple box. Both the man and the woman's complexion were not good. Their faces were pale and yellow. It was as if they were in the same boat.
The woman glanced at the city that was particularly eye-catching in the night and asked coldly, "Is this the Sleepless City that you mentioned? Why do we have to come here? If we want to get rid of that old mad dog, there are many other options. "
The man's mouth twitched. He forced a smile and said, "This city is actually called Snow Lotus City. If we are lucky, there will be something we need in this city."
The young woman with a terrible complexion but an outstanding appearance frowned and said, "Snow Lotus? Do you need it to treat your injuries? "
There were too many descriptions to describe a woman's beauty. She was so beautiful that she could make the birds alight and beasts fall from the sky, outshine the moon, and put the flowers to shame. She was so beautiful that she could cause the downfall of a nation. However, there was no description that could compare to the weight of these four words.
Only one person in a generation had this kind of beauty.
At this moment, this woman might be worthy of this description. Even if she was not the only one, she was at least one of the four.
In terms of appearance, the woman and the man could be considered a good match. He did not explain further. Instead, he raised his head slightly and looked at the city that was full of music and dancing every night. Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a pain in his head. It turned out that her head had bumped into his head. He, who had suffered countless unexpected disasters, said angrily, "What now? When I woke up, you were the one who said that you wanted to carry me. I wrapped my arms around your neck and was about to be thrown a few feet away by you. Then, I just gently held onto your shoulders and you threw me away. My hands could only shrink in front of my chest. I don't dare to put them anywhere. Do you still think I am being frivolous? Jiang Ni! Why don't you just chop off my hands?! "
Previously, that fellow had inadvertently rubbed against her hair and made her feel itchy. Now, it was this fellow's noisy voice that made her feel irritated. Without hesitation, she tilted her head again, and the two heads collided fiercely. It was clearly a move to kill the enemy at the cost of eight hundred. She hatefully said, "I want to chop you up and feed you to the dogs, but even the dogs don't want to eat you!"
He argued back ungracefully, "You are a dog. Otherwise, how do you know whether a dog will eat you or not?"
Snow Lotus City was a small city located outside of the Solitary Mountain Pass. It was located at the border between Nanzhao and Xishu in the Western Region. This city was famous for its residents who had been harvesting snow lotus flowers for generations. Among the Nine Kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period, not to mention Nanzhao and Xishu, which were close to the water, even the Liyang Imperial Family, which was ridiculed as the barbarians of the North, would specially add snow lotus flowers as a first-class tribute. Nowadays, the value of snow lotus flowers was almost comparable to the value of gyrfalcon in the Liao. The Snow Lotus City was named after the Snow Lotus. The joys and sorrows of the more than three thousand local residents revolved around these snow-white plants. Over the past thirty years, these heavenly treasures had become increasingly rare. The appearance of almost every Snow Lotus would not only cause the Snow Lotus City to suddenly wake up like a dozing old man, causing the whole city to rejoice. Moreover, it would also cause the city to fall into a bloody storm with undercurrents.
.................................................. Find a place to rest? But that would require money, right? But they didn't.
The guy said angrily, "Let's not talk about your ability to kill people. I think you are a sword immortal who can fly a thousand miles with a sword. Even if you don't have enough money, what's wrong with staying in an inn? If anyone dares to ask you for money, you can take a sword and chop their eighteen generations of ancestors until they are convinced. That's it. Do you see it? It's the one with the banner 'Yue Qu Inn'. If you don't have the face to eat and dash, I will reason with the innkeeper later. "
She suppressed her anger, but still followed his words and walked into the inn. The first floor was still full of drunkards. As soon as she stepped through the door, everyone turned to look at them. "The woman is carrying the man, and the man is carrying the box." The guy behind her added fuel to the fire. "Stay. Stay. I want a good room."
The shopkeeper was a bitter old man with slanted eyebrows. He was originally lying on the counter with sleepy eyes and yawning. When he saw the young man and woman in ragged clothes but with an extraordinary bearing, he glanced at them and was speechless in his heart. Just the red sandalwood box, which could be said to be a big treasure, was priceless. Why did this kind of people, who were destined to be rich and powerful, settle down in such a small temple? The Bodhisattva was too big, and the small temple could not accommodate them. The key point was that it was now a sensitive time when two snow lotuses appeared together … The old shopkeeper silently prayed for Buddha's blessing in his heart. He sighed, squeezed out a smile, and personally walked around the counter to lead them to a secluded room on the third floor. Without the old man's order, the waiter, who was usually lazier than a pig, brought the best tea for them. Squinting at the waiter's dazed eyes, the old man pulled him out of the room with all his strength. After bending over to close the door, he softly scolded, "You little brat's heart is too big. Do you think you can take a few glances at that fairy-like woman as you wish? Work hard, save money, and honestly marry Xiao Mei from the wine shop next door. Then you can be content for the rest of your life! "
The waiter said with grief and indignation, "I won't lose any weight if I look at her more!"
The old innkeeper slapped the guy's head, "She won't lose any weight, but it's hard to say if you'll lose any weight, you little bastard! That woman looks weak, but she must be a martial artist. "
The young man's eyes lit up, "She looks so good and is from Jianghu. She can't be the famous Purple Bamboo Fairy, right? Could it be that the purple bamboo knife is in the box? Hey, isn't it fitting that the purple bamboo knife is in the purple box? "
The old innkeeper put his hands behind his back and said with a self-deprecating face, "Don't think about it. Purple Bamboo Fairy has been General Liu's guest for a long time."
The young man muttered in a low voice, "Speaking of which, it's strange. Why are there so many fairies and heroines with purple characters in their names now? Last year, Purple Bamboo Fairy and Purple Sword Fairy came to the city to buy snow lotuses, right? "
The old innkeeper rolled his eyes and said, "God knows. If you have the ability, why don't you ask these fairies yourself? "
Inside the room, she threw the guy onto the bed and put the red sandalwood sword box on the table. She sat on the chair and closed her eyes to rest. First, she rode the sword for thousands of miles from the misty Guangling Road to the desert of the Western Regions. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she had to experience a life and death battle with the old Beimang dog. After that, she had to carry the burden and flee for hundreds of miles. She had no time to rest, which made her body's Qi flow extremely chaotic. There was a deep bloody wound on her neck that was so deep that her bones could be seen. She only needed to bandage it. If it wasn't for the fact that the old man named Li Mibi also needed to protect Tuoba Bodhisattva, she might not have been able to reach this city. Whether it was the old man with the sheepskin fur coat who taught her to practice calligraphy instead of swordsmanship, or Uncle Cao who was waiting for the imperial order, they all clearly explained the difference between the two. When she first met him in the torrential rain, she manipulated the rainwater and mud into several thousand swords, setting up two sword formations. Li Mibi still broke the sword formations effortlessly. During their escape, she did everything she could to turn everything into a three-foot sword, but all along Li Mibi was strolling in the courtyard, following her like a shadow.
The man was Hsu Fengnian who survived the disaster. At this moment, he was lying on the bed and said softly, "Although Li Mibi is only at the Finger Xuan level, his skills are somewhat similar to Cat Man Han Shengxuan. He is invincible in the same level. As for the ordinary Celestial level, it is difficult to suppress him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the ancestor of Beimang's Spider Web Spy. However, don't be fooled by how easily he broke the sword formation and showed the style of a master. In fact, your sword formation made the old man tremble with fear. It's just that the old man is thick-skinned and you can't see it. If he didn't puff himself up at his own cost, he would have scared you into only defending and not attacking. If you killed Tuoba Bodhisattva, how would he sneak back to the Beimang Empress? "
She sneered and said, "Are you blaming me?"
She didn't expect a sharp rebuttal from the guy. Instead, she became even angrier and said angrily, "Someone didn't kill the opponent in one breath and almost had his head taken back to receive a reward. That's really amazing. No wonder he is one of the Four Great Masters in the world! If I remember correctly, at that time, the Jianghu people were talking about the new Martial Emperor after Old Monster Wang. Tsk, tsk. Someone paid someone to help talk nonsense in the Jianghu, right? "
Hsu Fengnian said weakly, "Please, the person who was almost killed by me at that time wasn't some weakling. He was Tuoba Bodhisattva. If Li Mibi didn't appear to mess things up, I would have swaggered to the Liang Mang border and rode out alone. The head of their Beimang military god would be hanging on the tip of my spear, okay? Then the morale of Beimang would have fallen to the bottom. It would be more useful than killing 200,000 of their cavalry at the border. Simply put, 100,000 of our Beiliang people would have died less … "
