The Snow and the Moon in the Wind: The Lights Dim and the Way Back

Chapter 19

Summer of May [-]th in the fourth year of Mingde

The drizzle was blowing on the willows, and the sound of cicadas did not stop.

Mo Qianshang and Li Hanyi bid farewell to Queen Li Su, walked on the official road for half a month, and finally set foot in the middle of Beili.

At this moment, there are only 20 days until the sixth day of June.

Wordless voices linger in the hearts of men and women, and this journey is about to come to an end.

The young man was ignorant when he left, but his heart already belonged when he returned.

"Drive", the galloping horse gallops forward.

The Thunder Wasteland, a vast wilderness, thunders in summer and blasts in winter.

Because there are precious saltpeter and other resources underground here, it has attracted some special families to settle here.

Across this wilderness is the eastern part of Beili, where there are Linhai City, Wushuang City, Linhai City, Yuhang and other most affluent areas in Beili.

Standing on the high slope of the Thunder Wasteland, one can see a deserted plain.

Under the blowing of the summer breeze, the colorful seven-star grass, the pink one-core red luan flower, the star-moving fluorescent dandelion and other weeds compete on this plain to shine brightly and colorfully.

The view follows these darlings of the summer breeze to the end, and a majestic castle comes into view.

To say that it is majestic, its scale is not as large as Xueyue City, but in this empty wilderness, there is a castle standing here, which in itself represents extraordinary.

Lishui, the river of life that runs through the wilderness, circles the castle and goes eastward.

Leave behind its bequest - the moat.

At this moment, the sunset is near dusk.

The travel-stained two reined in their horses on the high slope, with indescribable exhaustion on their faces.

The boy raised his whip and pointed at the wasteland.

"Hanyi, you can see Wushuang City after crossing this thunderous wasteland, and Leijiabao is in front of you. Let's rest here tonight? Let's start tomorrow morning?"

Li Hanyi hesitated for a moment, then whispered softly, "Yes."

after a while

Riding the horse and raising the whip, the horse gallops forward, ahead: Leijiabao.

Stepping into the moat, the sky was almost dark at this moment, and the sling of the moat was about to be closed, and the two of them walked into Leijiabao with their horses.

With a roar, the sling was pulled up, and the castle was separated from the world.

The wilderness is quiet everywhere, only Leijiabao is still brightly lit.

The castle is different from the surrounding wilderness. A red urn towers in the middle, which occupies half of the site. It is Kaminarimon's residence.

other places.

Several streets, some simple restaurants, inns, and shops make up large and small streets.Although it is not as prosperous as Xueyue City, it is extremely rare in the wilderness.

Among them, there is a very special shop, that is: fireworks shop.

Leimen, as a Jianghu sect that seals swords and hangs swords, mainly uses boxing, supplemented by gunpowder, and coupled with the natural location of the Leiming Wasteland, this firework has become a major means of livelihood for Leimen.

There are not only many fireworks in Kaminarimon, but they are also spread all over the big and small cities in Beili.

Even Nanjue is Leimen's customer.

This is one of the reasons why Leimen can develop and grow.

Li Hanyi and the two led the horse and walked slowly along the small street, stopping from time to time to enjoy themselves.

Small vendors along the way are still making a living by hanging candles in the dark.Maybe it's because of Leimen's asylum, the people here are full of ease.

Vendors, big and small, are all over the streets, ranging from fireworks and firecrackers, to straw ropes woven by individuals, headbands, and some items on the wasteland can be made into exquisite items.

When the two came to an inn named Lei Ming, Mo Qianshang was already wearing a headband woven from star-moving fluorescent dandelions on his head, which shimmered in the dark night.

On the other hand, Li Hanyi wore a pink headband of red luan flowers. At the moment, the two of them were not like Jianghu people, but more like an elopement couple.

Handing over the horse to Xiao Er, the two entered the inn, ordered some food and wine, and settled down for dinner quietly.

In a place unknown to the two of them.

A disciple of the Lei family was bowing to an immature boy who was waving his right fist.

"Master, a man and a woman, two people from the rivers and lakes, came to Leijiabao before sunset, and they are all swordsmen. They are young, and I don't know if they are passing by or have other purposes."

The young man had an immature face. Hearing the word "jianghu", he yearned for it, but when he thought of his brother's entrustment, he bowed his head sadly.

"The thousandth blow!"

The young man let out a foul breath, and after punching the last punch of the day - the Wulei Tiangang Fist, he stood firm and picked up a sweat towel to wipe his sweat.

"Lei Qi, take me to have a look. It's been a long time since we, Leijiabao, have come to the rivers and lakes. Brother Hong and Brother Yunhe are now wandering the rivers and lakes. Maybe we can get news from them."

Lei Qi hesitated.

"Master Qianhu, their identities are unknown. Now you are the only one in charge of the overall situation in the door. If something happens, how can I explain to the elders?"

Lei Qianhu threw the sweat towel aside, and strode towards the door.

"If this is the case, I'll go out and have a look. If it's the bad guys, I'll just deal with them. Now that Leimen is empty, I want to protect Lei's house and wait for Brother Hong and the others to come back."

Lei Qi looked at Lei Qianhu's back and sighed silently.

For the sake of the Lei family, he gave up the rivers and lakes he longed for, and gave up everything. From birth to now, he has never stepped out of the Lei family castle, and he still has no complaints or regrets.

When Lei Qianhu came to the Leiming Inn, Li Hanyi and Li Hanyi only ate half of it.

Seeing Li Hanyi's beautiful and indifferent appearance, Lei Qianhu was slightly taken aback, his face flushed, but he still took a brave step forward.

"Lei Qianhu, Lei Jiabao, met two friends. I wonder where the two of you are going on this trip?"

Mo Qianshang was about to reply.

With a sound of "Peng", Li Hanyi put down the bowl and chopsticks, his voice was pleasant and his tone was indifferent. "The Lei family? Are you the only one left in the Lei family now? What about those elders? The Lei family is so big, let you, a brat, come out to preside over the overall situation?"

Although Li Hanyi's voice was sweet, but in Lei Qianhu's ears at the moment, it was obviously provocative on purpose.

Mo Qianshang wanted to speak, but Li Hanyi turned his head and stared, so he had no choice but to continue eating without speaking.

Lei Qianhu narrowed his eyes slightly, although the woman was very beautiful, she was nothing compared to Lei Jiabao.

"Girl, what do you mean by that? Our Leijiabao doesn't seem to have offended you, does it?"

Li Hanyi snorted coldly and looked at the boy. "Stubborn, old-fashioned and ignorant of flexibility, it is because of this that Leijiabao is lonely. Thunderbolt Hall Leijia will perish in their hands sooner or later."

When Lei Qianhu heard such unkind words, his face flushed, he forcibly suppressed his anger, and said in a low voice.

"Girl, I see that you are a girl, and I will not bully you. But please take back what you just said, otherwise, you are not welcome in Leijiabao!"

Li Hanyi mocked.

"Just you?"

Lei Qianhu moved his right foot back half a step, squatted all over his body, restrained his fists, and looked at the two of them indifferently.

"I'm enough! As long as I'm here, you won't be allowed to insult Leijiabao"

Li Hanyi got up indifferently, and put Tingyu on the table.

He rubbed his right hand and looked at Lei Qianhu.

"Five Thunders and Tiangang Fist, four heavy punches? That's it?"

As soon as the voice fell, Li Hanyi was behind him.

A pointer is on its rear axis.

"Relying on you, you also want to protect the Lei family?"

Lei Qianhu was shocked, "How is it possible? Wudang Tiyun Zong? Taoist Void Walk? And her finger!"

"Leimen Shocking Finger, sing three times with one finger, sing the first one, you can't leave"

Li Hanyi lightly tapped his right foot, took two steps back, and Lei Qianhu just swung his right fist.

Wulei Tiangang Fist is domineering and fierce, and its strength is the most powerful.

There are no bells and whistles, all the power is on the fist, and when you swing it, you will be hurt if you touch it, you will die if you meet it, and you will hurt yourself if you hurt others.

However, Li Hanyi's body was agile, so Lei Qianhu hit in the air, like hitting cotton, with nowhere to focus.

Li Hanyi's figure flashed, and he pointed at his forehead.

"The second finger is called no return"

Lei Qianhu flicked his right hand upwards, stepped forward steadily, and punched three times, silently and invisible.

However, he was always a finger away from Li Hanyi.

"Damn it, who the hell are you! Why did my Lei family's unique skill shock the magic finger?"

In a blink of an eye, Li Hanyi had disappeared before his eyes.

Behind.

"Third finger, sing thunder!"

Li Hanyi kept pointing out, hit the neck, and pushed lightly, Lei Qianhu staggered two steps forward.

He looked back at Li Hanyi in shock, because he thought of someone.

Li Hanyi sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Are you the only one in the Lei family? Where are the others?"

Lei Qianhu's eyes widened with excitement.

"Shocking Finger! What's your relationship with Brother Lei Mengsha?"

"You guessed it, didn't you?"

Lei Qianhu lowered his head slightly, he also knew little about the affairs of the previous generation.

But he knew that Brother Lei Mengsha had already been expelled from the Lei family and even removed from the clan because he joined the Beili army.

"Are you planning to humiliate the Lei family when you come back this time?"

"I was just passing by, and you came here by yourself, so I don't mind trying your skills. The Wulei Tiangang Fist, you can practice the quadruple punch, which shows that you have put in a lot of effort."

Lei Qianhu scratched his head and smiled shyly.

"Thank you for the compliment, I just reached it too."

"Relying on it, you can't protect the Lei family."

Lei Qianhu said with a firm face and a straight face.

"I know, but as long as I'm still alive, I will fight to the death to protect Leijiabao."

Li Hanyi stared into his eyes, seeing that he was determined, obviously ready to sacrifice.

Laughing at himself, he turned to look at Mo Qianshang.

"Another idiot!"

Mo Qianshang: "???"

Lei Qianhu scratched his head, his youthful face blushed.

"Hi, may I know your name?"

"Ahem", Mo Qianshang choked when he heard the words, and then looked at Lei Qianhu with a strange expression.

He didn't understand, are children so straightforward now?
Li Hanyi was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Mo Qianshang choking, he smiled slightly.

"Li Hanyi!"

Just as Lei Qianhu was about to continue questioning, a killing intent enveloped him.

Seeing Mo Qianshang's indistinct sharp eyes, Lei Qianhu swallowed.

Arched hands, serious face.

"Girl in Hanyi, I wonder if you have heard the news about Lei Hong and Lei Yunhe in the Thunderbolt Hall?"

Li Hanyi pointed at Mo Qianshang. "Ask him, he has seen it!"

Lei Qianhu looked at the boy with red and blue eyes curiously.

"he is?"

Mo Qianshang stood up angrily,

"My name is Mo Qianshang. Lei Hong is the one who casts Wufang Fist, right? And isn't the one Jinglei refers to particularly handsome?"

It was rare for Lei Qianhu to hear news from his eldest brother, and said excitedly.

"Yes, yes, have you seen them?"

Mo Qianshang stroked his chin and recalled, "That guy Lei Hong almost burned himself to death with the fire technique last time, but I kicked him out.

And Lei Yunhe, because he pretended to be handsome in front of me, so I specially kicked him in the face.

The two left Xueyue City the next day, as if they had heard that they had gone to the Lingxu Sect and Wudang.I don't know where it is now. "

Lei Qianhu was stunned for a moment.

"Ah! Brother Hong and Brother Yunhe were beaten right after they left the mountain?"

Mo Qianshang rolled his eyes, "What's so strange about this? It's not just them, Song Yanhui, the lord of Wushuang City, was still beaten by me. They can be defeated by the same person as Song Yanhui. I think it's enough for them to blow a wave!"

Lei Qianhu was stunned.

"Song Yanhui! You are so powerful!"

"nonsense!"

Mo Qianshang's right hand drooped on Lei Qianhu's shoulder, and he said strangely.

"Your name is Lei Qianhu, right? I think they have all gone out to roam the rivers and lakes. Why are you still here? Don't you want to go out? If you don't wander the rivers and lakes, you will regret it!"

"Crossing the rivers and lakes?"

Hearing these four words, a light flashed in Lei Qianhu's eyes, it was hope, it was a boy's dream.

But at this moment, a sentence came to mind.

"You have to stay and protect Lei's house while Brother Hong and I are away!"

At this moment, the light dimmed.

Dreams shattered.

Lei Qianhu lowered his head sadly.

"No, I don't want to, I want to protect the Lei family, I want to stay here, and wait for them to come back!"

Willing is not the heart, youth is not the will, the heart is like a swan, and life is trapped in a lonely city.

This kind of waiting lasts for more than ten years. Once youth is gone, no one will be young again.

Mo Qianshang was stunned for a moment, sighed silently, and patted his shoulder.

"It's hard for you"

Walking in front of him, he stretched out his right hand with a straight face.

"Is that Lei Qianhu? Let's get to know each other formally. My name is Mo Qianshang. I am the fourth disciple of Nangong Chunshui in Xueyue City. I just left the mountain two months ago."

Lei Qianhu looked at the right hand in front of him, slowly raised his head, saw the encouragement in his eyes, and said seriously.

"The descendant of the Lei Family Castle, Lei Qianhu of the Jiangnan Thunder Martyrdom."

Reach out your right hand and hold his hand tightly.

At this moment, he seemed to feel the breath of the world in this lonely city.

"Am I stepping into the rivers and lakes?"

Mo Qianshang smiled slightly.

"Forget it, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes."

"Um"

At this moment, Lei Qianhu smiled, so he turned to Li Hanyi and stretched out his right hand.

"Hi, my name is Lei Qianhu, nice to meet you!"

Mo Qianshang's face turned dark at this moment.

Looking at the brat on the left, I suddenly had the urge to beat him up.

Li Hanyi was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He reached out his snow-white wrist, and gently squeezed it.

"Li Hanyi in Xueyue City, Mo Qianshang's senior sister."

Lei Qianhu was about to speak.

"Crack", Mo Qianshang immediately pulled away their hands, pulled Li Hanyi behind him, and glared at Lei Qianhu.

"Enough! Brat, don't push yourself!"

Lei Qianhu was stunned for a moment, then he looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Seeing Mo Qianshang's anxious look, Li Hanyi also covered his mouth and smiled lightly.

Only Mo Qianshang looked depressed.

late at night.

On the central square of Leijiabao.

A ten-meter-high male sculpture stands in the center.

"Han Yi, why did you call me out so late?"

"You'll find out later!"

"Then why are you covering my eyes?"

Li Hanyi snorted coldly and scolded.

"Don't take it off, or I won't talk to you anymore!"

The ribbon on the forehead is now tied over the eyes, and with the support of Li Hanyi, he moves forward slowly.

Li Hanyi looked at his cute appearance and smiled slightly.

"Pay attention to your feet, there are steps!"

"Uh, good!"

When I came to the steps, there was no one around, only the beautiful woman was by my side.

"Hanyi, is it alright?"

"Don't worry, I'll let you take it off, and you pick it off!"

Bring Mo Qianshang to an open space covered with black canvas.

"Be obedient, don't pick it up, it will be fine soon."

Mo Qianshang leaned helplessly on his right hand. At this moment, he thought in his heart that Li Hanyi was planning to play a prank.

'Cooperate with her.as long as she's happy'

Pull the black canvas.

Dense paper tubes appeared on the ground, each of which was thirty centimeters high and fifty centimeters wide.

Right in the center.

An oversized paper tube stands, one meter high and two meters wide, decorated with exquisite floral decorations.

There are blessings on the side of each paper tube, such as happy new year, happy family, five blessings and so on.

That's right, fireworks.

All the fireworks in Leijiabao are here, including the biggest meteor memory.

Some people say that fireworks are meteors on the ground, and they are also fleeting, but they are closer.

Some people say that fireworks are candles in the night. Although they cannot last long, they are extremely eye-catching.

Others say that fireworks are memories of youth, they only need you to ignite them, but they can be remembered for a lifetime.

Gently came behind Mo Qianshang and took off his ribbon.

The streamer falls, and the darkness disappears.

The lead is washed away from the dust and wind, only the beauty is unforgettable.

What caught Mo Qianshang's eyes was these memories of youth.

"This is, for me?"

His eyes trembled, his voice trembled, his hands trembled.

Li Hanyi lit a torch and put it in his palm.

The smile never stops, and the gentleness never stops.

"You said that when you were young, you were always envious of others. Today, you are the only one."

Mo Qianshang's eyes were slightly red, and he whispered.

"Thank you"

"Like it?"

"Um"

At this moment, although his chest was full of words, he didn't know how to describe it.

"Go, ignite it! Remember its name, it's called Meteor Remembrance."

Mo Qianshang stepped halfway with his left foot, saw a pair of shadows on the ground, and looked at the girl.

"Together"

The girl froze for a moment, and happily took his hand.

See each other and walk, know each other and cherish each other.

Cherish each other and have no regrets in this life.

Big hands hold small hands.

In the backs of the two, the flickering fire ignited the youthful lead.

A thunderbolt pierced the sky, and a roar was like a shooting star.

Night becomes day.

Fireworks bloomed in the sky over Leijiabao.

Countless young men and women walked out of the house and hugged each other.

On this night when the fireworks are blooming, popular reminiscences, is it the past time?

The east wind leaves thousands of trees at night, and blows down, and the stars are like rain.

In an instant, all the prosperity can be seen.

A tree full of flowers, just one glance, is the end of the world.

On the eaves, the girl leaned on the young man's shoulders, watching the prosperity of this life, wishing to grow old with the king forever.

However, one thought of reunion, one thought of parting, it is difficult to overcome the calamity of a lifetime
Wind, flowers, snow and moon, but past life and present life.

For a period of love and obsession, tears are hard to get rid of.

The love is deep and lifeless, who will sue for parting.

The fate that has been read for half a lifetime for a lifetime, love is hard to break.

Looking back at dusk, you are in the dim light.

Looking back at dusk, you have never changed.

. . .

The next day
The boy and the girl set off again, heading for this time's final destination, the shore of the East China Sea-Unparalleled City under Heaven.

There, you will experience the real rivers and lakes.

Outside Tianqi City.

Mercedes-Benz horses shuttle on the official road.

"Ruofeng, why do you suddenly want to leave Tianqi?"

"Little Xie Xuan, I'm tired. I heard that Wushuang City is holding a hero banquet, so I plan to go to relax."

"Then why did you bring the sixth prince out?"

"I plan to let him see the real world."

Gusu Hanshan Temple

beside the lake.

Wearing a purple hood, the girl with two beauty moles on her cheeks, looked at the Flying Pigeon Passing Letter in her hand, snorted coldly, and lifted the hood, causing waves on the water.

"I didn't expect Wushuang City to make such a big deal this time. Let's go and see how the situation is."

Glancing at the simple man buying vegetables in the distance, the girl's eyes were full of disappointment.

"Ye Dingzhi, let you enjoy another two years."

Kunlun Snow Peak.

A man with a face like a crown of jade and a tall body, holding a Fengxue sword in his hand, embarked on the road to Wushuang City.

"Wu Shuang City, this time depends on your performance."

Snow Moon City.

A mountain village hundreds of miles away.

quiet courtyard,

A woman dressed in white looks like a fairy, sitting in the courtyard playing the piano.

A white-haired man stood behind him respectfully.

"Miss, according to the information, this time Wushuang City has really spent a lot of money for the hero banquet. Among them, there is also a bottle of Liu Nian"

The woman was slightly surprised.

"I didn't expect Wushuang City to be so willing this time. It seems that it was influenced by Xueyue City."

The woman stops her hands.

"Qixuan, do you want to try?"

"Well, I want to go and get it back for Miss."

"If you're going, you go. I'll just stay here by myself."

"Miss, how long do you have to wait?"

"When he becomes famous in the world, I will appear in front of him as soon as possible."

A feast of unparalleled heroes has caused turmoil in the world since then.

Someone saw the seven monsters of the Tianshan Mountains that had long since disappeared.

Someone saw Nanjue Sword Immortal who broke the mountain with a knife.

Some people also saw Donghai Yusou, a strong man who once topped the list.

Qingcheng, Wudang, Shaolin, Western Zen, Sunset and other sects sent people there one after another.

Heroes from all over the world gather to fight for the title of unparalleled in the world.

Regardless of whether they are famous or want to be famous, they all gather in the shore of the East China Sea - the city of unparalleled under heaven.

The end of the Thunder Wasteland.

Boys and girls, galloping horses, full of pride.

"Peerless City! Here we come!"

　Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a collection.

　　The author is not full-time, but I also want to write this book well, so the writing is a bit slow, please forgive me.

　　The plot of Peerless City is the first large-scale dungeon-level plot I designed. It is a bit brain-intensive. I hope that you can ignore my slow problem and feel some of the charm of this book.

　　Except for some characters, the plot is all original, so stay tuned.
