Chapter 172
Middle Earth, outside Heyang City, a ruined temple.
Above the wilderness, at first glance, the terrain is roughly flat. Except for looking north, there is a towering Qingyun Mountain in the distance, it is rare to even rolling hills in the rest of the directions.
Many trees grow in chaos, large or small, distributed on this field. There are also a few sparse trees standing around the dilapidated temple.
The sky was the darkest time, and the clouds in the sky were thick, blocking the moon. Only a few small stars on the edge emitted a faint light, shining on this desolate land.
The wind blew that night, not particularly strong, but it blew across the branches of the treetops and caused the branches to sway, making a low "rustling" sound. It sounded in my ears and on my body, but it seemed to feel particularly cold.
"Grandpa, I've said a long time ago that you should not delay in that town, but you just don't listen. Now, we can only spend the night in this dilapidated temple in the wilderness." At this time, a crisp voice of coquettishness suddenly came, from far to near, becoming clearer and clearer.
"What do you know?"
Immediately afterwards, an old man's voice sounded and said, "I am a hero who is doing justice to eliminate disasters and solve problems for the people and save their lives."
"Hmph, I think you're just trying to cheat people for a few dollars, right?" A coquettish voice came out again. Under the faint light, a pretty little girl about ten years old appeared in front of the gate of the yard where the dilapidated temple was located. She looked inside for a few glances, and said in confusion: "Hey, there seems to be someone in this dilapidated temple?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with white hair and a clear face also appeared in front of the door. Like a little girl, he stood in the door and looked inside, muttering, "How could anyone appear here at this big night? It's not a ghost?"
"Grandpa!" The little girl gave the old man a long voice and said angrily: "How can anyone know how to make fire? I think the passerby was missing the time and rested in this dilapidated temple."
Although the little girl said this, she looked alert in her eyes. She carefully looked at the environment in the yard, but did not take a step forward.
At this time, the dilapidated temple door in the yard suddenly opened with a "creaking" sound, and a young man walked out of it, staring at the two of them, and said with a smile: "What the little girl is talking about is, old sir, the younger generation is not a monster, but a serious passerby."
"It's you!" The old man's eyes shrank, and a ray of light flashed in his eyes.
"hehe……"
The man chuckled softly, bowed to the two of them, and said, "My younger generation, Guo Yu, Qingyun Sect, has met senior!"
Guo Yu really didn't expect that tonight, he would meet Zhou Yixian and Xiao Huan, the grandfather and grandson in this dilapidated temple outside Heyang City.
Since he left Tianyin Temple, he rushed back with his daughter.
Because the little girl has been staying in the Hehuan Sect since she was a child and has never left the house, she is very curious about the outside world and is very interested along the way. Look at this and that, and have a lot of fun.
Seeing this, Guo Yu canceled the sword-riding flight and took her directly on foot, crossing the mountains, crossing rivers, and living a life of sleeping in the open.
It was originally only a few days to fly with the sword, but now it took nearly two months to arrive at the Heyang City at the foot of Qingyun Mountain.
Tonight, he saw it was getting late, so he did not rush to enter the city. Instead, he found this dilapidated temple in the suburbs to deal with it for one night, but he didn't expect to meet them accidentally.
To be honest, he was still very happy to meet this pair of grandparents. Although the old man Zhou Yixian was frivolous and lacked qi and blood, he did not look like a cultivator with a profound Taoist practice at all. This can be proved by the only few attempts in his book.
But Guo Yu knew that this person's experience was rare in the world. It is estimated that there is no broader in the entire Zhuxian world than him. Talking and communicating with him is a rare good thing, and you may have unexpected gains.
However, Zhou Yixian didn't want to see him very much. She stared at Guo Yu, glanced at the ruined temple, and hesitated whether to enter.
Seeing this, Guo Yu smiled slightly, stepped forward a few steps to the two of them, and said, "Senior, there are only juniors and little girls in this dilapidated temple. It's getting late now. If you don't dislike it, what if you enter and have a night together?"
Zhou Yixian was stunned for a moment, turned around and glanced at the surrounding wilderness, took a deep breath, and an awkward smile appeared on his face, and said, "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it."
Xiaohuan, who was standing beside him, smiled happily and said in a sweet voice: "Thank you, brother."
Guo Yu smiled, didn't say much, and turned around and walked towards the dilapidated temple.
Zhou Yixian was still a little hesitant, but Xiao Huan had already followed Guo Yu first and entered the temple gate, so he had to grit his teeth and follow.
The dilapidated temple is not big, only more than ten steps long and wide. There is a large pine pillar standing on the left and right, and in the middle is a statue of a god with only half of its body left. It looks very simple. Obviously, no one has come here to worship for a long time.
A thick layer of hay was laid on the wall on the left, and a wide robe was placed on it, and a little girl lay on it, falling asleep peacefully with a faint smile.
Two steps beside her, some firewood was piled up, and the flames burning not too big brought a hint of warmth to the ruined temple.
Xiaohuan moved closer, stared at the little girl's long eyelashes, and asked, "Big Brother, is this your daughter?"
Guo Yu nodded and chuckled, "Yes, she is only one or two years younger than you."
As he said that, he bent down to pull the robe on the hay flat, leaving a space, and turned his eyes and continued, "Little girl, there is still a place here, so you can sleep here tonight."
Just as Xiao Huan was about to speak, the little girl lying on the hay suddenly trembled slightly, and she struggled for a few seconds and slowly opened her eyes.
"Huh!" The little girl didn't seem to expect a stranger to appear beside her. Her bright eyes were instantly opened, and she stared at Xiaohuan motionlessly to observe carefully. Then she supported her hands, thrust her waist, sat up directly, rubbed her eyes, and asked in confusion: "Who are you?"
Seeing this, Xiaohuan's face immediately smiled and said, "My name is Xiaohuan, what's your name, little sister?"
Next, the two little girls were very close to each other and chattered, which gradually became noisy and filled with laughter.
Guo Yu smiled and shook his head, added a few firewood to the fire, stirring it twice, making the flames much more vigorous.
