Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 392: Situation
"."

Pei Ye looked at the woman at the entrance of the cave in a daze. They were not too close. She seemed to melt into the vast mountain rain, while he disappeared into the stone cave that was isolated from everything.

But it was in this perspective from darkness to light that he suddenly realized why the woman kept looking outside the rain curtain.

Because it turns out to be really beautiful.

——"High wind and drizzle, wide scenery, this place is very good."

When you are in a dense forest, the wet and muddy rain will only make you annoying; but if you stand on the top of a mountain, you will look embarrassed and your body and bones will be cold.

Only in such a cliff.

Sitting in the dark cave and looking out, the stone walls extending to the end are like forming a large window, looking into another vast and beautiful world.

The woman is sitting in the corner of the window, and her back has become part of the picture.

And it was at this moment when the young man truly felt this tranquility that the woman's words truly revealed something from his trembling heart, and a feeling of déjà vu suddenly emerged.

Pei Ye remembered that this kind of fruit vine was not uncommon. It withered once a year. The vine was hard. As long as part of it was exposed to the sun, a crisp and sweet round fruit would grow on the ground near the root.

He hesitated and said: "The Taiwan Master was in Taichung when he received the letter, but Mr. Sui's letter seemed to be in two copies. After receiving the letter, the Taiwan Master did not go with us - By the way, Mr. Sui, where is Mr. Sui? "

The heart is pulled up and away, separated from the current emotions, as if there is someone somewhere waiting for him to meet.

"It's nothing." The woman bent her legs and turned back, "I'm a little hungry."

Xiao Changgong frowned: "Why not? Lord Ji Shan is still here, and Commander Gao has also been in [Ye Que] for many years."

Gan Zifeng, whose blood was still wet on the sword blade, almost had a nameless anger emerging from his heart. The most unbearable thing in the exhausting and desperate fight was this sudden stupidity and arrogance - fuck you, Gao Is it possible to withstand ten moves from Master Shuzu's sword without attacking? !
If my uncle is enough to solve this problem, why the hell do I need you to do it? !

There must be no one picking them in this cliff cave.

The woman calmly repeated her previous question: "Do you want to learn the sword now?"

Pei Ye was stunned: "No, what's wrong?"

Gan Zifeng took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Where is Master Zhang? There haven't been any major cases recently? Mr. Sui is here, why doesn't he come?!"

"Take people to the law enforcement hall. We will investigate what they say."

But he knew that this was the result of a sudden and unexpected explosion of information - when Mr. Sui delivered the letter, it was obvious that the news of the death of the sect leader had not yet spread, and [Sima] and Yi Duanzhi had not suddenly appeared in Jianfu Mountain.

Pei Ye was stunned for a while. He had indeed not considered this need for a while. After a while, he remembered that it was golden autumn and he should be able to pick a few fruits from the forest.

Then everything returned to the current situation. Pei Ye was stunned for a while and said truthfully: "I want to be quiet first, Miss Ming."

Gan Zifeng took a deep breath and said coldly: "Kongtong is investigating the peaks, and Xiao Hejian went to the law enforcement hall to learn about the case."

"." Ji Changyun lowered his eyebrows, stroked the hilt of the sword with his withered hand, raised his eyes in silence for a moment and said, "Master Sui fought with the villains before, but there is no news yet. It may be more serious than bad."

This was the fourth quarter of an hour since they entered the cliff cave. The mountains were silent. Under the fastest circumstances, Sima and Yi Duanzhi might arrive at the cliff cave in the next moment.

Gan Zifeng stared blankly, the blood stains on his body had not disappeared, but his eyebrows furrowed deeper: "Xiao Hejian, are you the only three Xuanmen?"

But Ji Changyun didn't answer any more, turned around and left with his sword without saying a word.

An old voice sounded from behind Gan Zifeng: "Master Zhang, what's important?"

Ming Qitian nodded, but her eyes still fell on him: "You don't have any luggage with you, do you?"

At the end of his words, the old man still couldn't control his tone. Xiao Tingshu was crippled, Bai Tianqu died, and the Lord of Five Peaks fell. Kongtong was in chaos, but the people in front of him didn't even realize what was happening!
[Prison Fox] Zhang Xiaozhu, one of the "Four Swordsmen of Beiya" twenty years ago, is now ranked forty-three on the crane list - without such strong support, how can we talk about stabilizing the situation!
"Master Zhang has other important matters." Xiao Changgong glanced at him, "If Elder Gan cannot properly hand over the situation, just ask someone else to take over."

The mountain formation was not opened. Xiao Changgong walked in, pressed his sword and frowned: "We have received a letter of reinforcement from Lord Sui. Where is your Lord now?"

The Hejian's expression became very peaceful, and he casually tore off a blade of grass and held it in his mouth: "Xunyuan?"

He couldn't remember the name, couldn't remember the face, and he didn't know where he was. Only this feeling was so strong. The young man looked at the woman's figure intently, and something unknown was about to break out of the ground. His expression was almost blank. helpless.

Cold rain on Cangshan Mountain.

-----

----

Turn around and leave.

Yes, isn't this Luotao?

"exist."

"No need to start the formation!" The man was in his thirties, brown-faced and slightly fat, wearing a crane suit. He pressed his sword and went straight in. Behind him were more than fifty people, most of whom were elite troops from the government. A few of them wore soft clothes and carried swords. It's Xianrentai inspection.

But as he walked outside, he suddenly lowered his head and paused looking at the dead vines on the ground.

He moved his hand back, and the white-bearded and cold-faced general opened his eyes - Gao Feigong was indeed the highest-ranking commander that Fucheng could send out, and he was a famous spear master from Shaolong and Xilong. .

Kongtong, mountain gate.

"Then I'll go look for it." Pei Ye stood up in a hurry, supporting the wall.

Xiao Changgong raised his eyes and saw that the person coming with the sword was none other than Ji Changyun. The old man's blood-stained robe had not yet been changed. He was severely injured and his eyebrows were as sharp as a sword.

Xiao Changgong looked at the people's leaving figures, then turned to look in the direction where Ji Changyun was leaving.

Xiao Changgong bowed his hands and said, "Master Ji Shan. We don't know either."

Xiao Changgong opened his eyes in shock: "How could that happen?!"

"." Pei Ye was shocked to remember that the woman usually only ate very small amounts of food sporadically, but now that her ice and snow body was broken, there was indeed almost nothing in her belly.

Pei Ye turned inward, smiled at the woman's surprised gaze, and disappeared into the darkness leading to the depths.

It was not as deep as imagined. Pei Ye found a few nearby vines. Unfortunately, they were too close to the ground and the fruits were eaten away by insects and ants. After walking more than ten feet in, he saw a intact vine. . In fact, it is difficult for it to reach the sunlight at the entrance of the cave, but it still stubbornly bears fruit. Two round and lovely white fruits hang on it. It looks like the most crispy and sweet kind at first glance.

Pei Ye reached out and took it off, but his ears suddenly moved. There was the sound of clear water.

Coming from deeper inside the cave, the sound "flows" rather than "falls", and is so gentle that it is no longer audible from a little further away.

Yes, if there is no water source, why would there be so many dead vines?

Chi Huo flew forward, and not far away from Pei Ye, a crystal clear water pool appeared in front of him.

However, it is as big as a small courtyard, and the deepest point is only about one foot. The stone surface, white sand, and gravel at the bottom of the pool are extremely clear.

A mountain spring seeped out from the stone wall and flowed into the pool, but I don't know where the opening was - maybe there was a small spring flowing out of the crack in the rock somewhere invisible on the mountain.

No matter what the situation, it is always good to have such a water source. Pei Ye squatted down, washed the two fruits, washed away the remaining blood on the head and face of his arms, and finally leaned over to drink.

When he was about to raise his head, he suddenly froze his gaze - and saw several clean white fish swimming in the pool under the glare of the chi fire. There are about seven or eight of them, the water is freezing cold, they are like elves in the midst of life and death.

"." This was really a scene he had never seen before. He had only heard chats from adults who often traveled to the mountains, saying that there was a kind of mountain fish that was born in cold springs. It had no fishy smell and no dirt. It was an extremely rare delicacy and it was extremely difficult to survive. Out of the mountains, it is as long as a forearm, and the price offered outside can build a small courtyard.

Pei Ye really didn't expect to see this thing that he didn't know whether to call it a mountain treasure or a river delicacy here. He lowered his head and looked at the water. It was indeed the first time he had seen this kind of fish. It was slender and beautiful, with a slightly wider forehead and two fish. The eyes are embedded in the sides, a bit dull.

Under the light of the fire, the fish turned sideways blankly for the first time, staring blankly at this strange creature on the water.

One person and one fish looked at each other quietly. Pei Ye stretched out his hand to indicate its length. He was quite satisfied and pursed his lips and said, "It seems that you and I are quite destined."

His hand reached down and before the water even reacted, he caught it.

The white fish froze in his hand. It opened and closed its gills several times but failed to absorb the water. It was stunned for a moment and suddenly began to twist and flick its tail. Cold water droplets splashed on its cheeks.

Feeling the fresh force in his hands, the young man suddenly grinned, revealing two rows of bright white teeth.

"Miss Ming, look." Pei Ye walked out from the depths of the cave and raised the mountain treasure in his hand that was already motionless.

Ming Qitian turned around and opened her clear eyes: "How did you get this?"

"I'm good at fishing."

"."

"This fish is said to be delicious." Pei Ye first handed her two fruits with water droplets on them, "I'll take care of them."

"Is there a pool in there?"

"No, it grows on trees."

However, the woman was obviously thinking about another thing. Her calm eyes fell on Pei Ye's head: "You have become much cleaner."

".Um?"

Ming Qitian stood up and walked deeper into the cave, saying softly: "You want to lend me two grains of fire. I'll go take a bath."

"what?"

Pei Ye sat by the cave, used mountain feathers to remove the head and tail of the fish, scraped off the scales and bones, and cut off two fresh and tender halves. Then he placed the reluctant Liuli on his side. This sword was always extremely pure, and Pei Ye piled the fish meat from the pieces on top one by one.

He looked at the distant Cangshan Mountain in the rain and fog, washed the bloody mountain feathers under the water curtain, and the feeling of sitting quietly holding his sword came over him again.

The calmer the mind calms down, the more vivid the feeling becomes.

——"When you can see yourself clearly, I won't let you fall. You have to believe in [Dingjing Bingjian]."

A woman is indeed the best mirror in the world. If it were not through her eyes, he would not know when he would be able to see himself or he would never have this opportunity.

However, the face of the person in the mirror is still hazy, and the young man still has hesitation in his heart. Really, Pei Ye, are you really such a person?
Can you really be such a person?

Holding the sword, you always want to win. Face everything as clearly and calmly as a woman. That is actually not the person you want to be.

What do you want to be like?

The young man leaned against the cave and looked at the distant mountains quietly, until footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.

Pei Ye turned around and saw that Ming Qitian had walked out of the darkness.

She had really taken a bath, and her whole body seemed to be several shades clearer. Her clear, wet black hair was spread out, and she had changed into clean white clothes - but she obviously didn't bring any new boots. Carrying the shoes and socks in his hands and putting them aside, he came barefoot to the other side of Liuli and sat down quietly.

Pei Ye was afraid that her shoes and socks would get wet, so she sat cross-legged with her legs folded, so she just let her calves hang down from the edge of the cliff.

New rain in an empty mountain, new rain in an empty mountain. Pei Ye didn't know where he had read this word, but it just jumped out of his head. The woman is often difficult to look away from. In the first few quarters of an hour, she seemed to have fallen into the mortal world, and now she is a fairy who has lived in the moon palace for a long time.

But Pei Ye's mind was not on this this time. He looked at the woman blankly for a while, but he felt that he had not been so quiet for a long time.

She sat here relaxedly, as if this place was indeed not a desperate situation where she could die every second. Nothing about finding food or bathing was suitable.

The fish fillet was thinly attached to the glass. Ming Qitian stretched out her fingers and pushed it into a roll, then put it into her mouth and chewed it.

"Is it delicious?" Pei Ye looked at her expectantly.

The woman nodded with some satisfaction.

Clean, tender, and firm. These three characteristics are very distinct. The woman really hasn’t eaten much, but this kind of cold fish is indeed enough to be ranked at the top.

"We don't have any fire, but I heard that some people like to eat it this way." Pei Ye said, "But you have to dip it in some ginger vinegar or something."

Ming Qitian picked up another piece, swallowed it and said, "The Book of Rites says: 'Onions are used in spring and mustard is used in autumn.'"

"Yeah, but raw meat is not very clean. It is said that after eating it, sometimes bugs will appear."

"Those who are cultivating, with true mystical presence, can enjoy delicious food in peace."

"That's true." Pei Ye nodded, raised his head, picked up a piece and put it into his mouth, but suddenly remembered, "But Miss Ming, it's not like you don't have cultivation right now - you might get diarrhea if you don't get it right."

The woman lowered her eyes and put a piece of it into her lips, just not hearing it.

After a while, when the food was gone, Liuli couldn't wait to rush out and wash her body in the rain.

Pei Ye leaned on the stone wall beside the cave, with one leg hanging down and the other bent, looking at the scene with a smile.

Holding [Shan Yu] in front of him, he suddenly understood everything the woman said - yes, everyone can be a mirror.

Indeed, he will never be as indifferent as a woman. He will never accept defeat and will always look forward to victory. But, they are still the same.

Death is nothing but death.

Even in the danger of death, even in the desperate situation of repeated failures. As long as there is a sword, you can talk about swords; since there are fish, you can eat fish.

Because they have never lived up to their own lives, they are not confused about victory, defeat, life and death.

However, the woman will calmly say "that's nothing", and he will always smile and use his last breath to chase victory.

He suddenly knew what he was growing into and finally saw the person he was waiting to meet in the mirror.

The young man lowered his eyes and looked at the smooth sword surface of [Shan Yu]. In a daze, a pair of long, narrow and sharp bright eyes looked over coldly, but seemed to be smiling.

This smile is really charming. There must not be many people who could have this smile eighteen years ago.

The next moment, this charming blood dripping with blood turned into an ugly withered ghost, and everything disappeared in an instant. But the rain-stained sword body of Shan Yu was clear and translucent, as if carved from fine and sharp ice jade.

This was the tenth quarter of an hour after they entered the cliff cave. Sima and Yi Duanzhi arrived at Changxi, ten miles away.

The woman and the boy were still unable to resist.

And there is still a moment before the "ice and snow body" is about to complete its next cycle.
