It was getting late and approaching You hour.

The tea stall shop named "Enter the house" used to make a self-deprecating joke has now collected the tea stall and returned to the dilapidated wooden house in the village.

This is the ancestral home that his own family has been passed down by four generations. Except for his occasional visit to his wife's village, he stayed here for a day or two, basically he lived here for a while. However, after he had any physical accidents, he went to his wife's house less and less.

After thinking about it carefully, it has been almost two years since he has not been to the village of She Village again.

As soon as he returned to the wooden house, the middle-aged man felt exhausted because now he was physically weak enough to feel overwhelmed even if he just walked such a long way with his hands. So he could only sit in the chair and rest for a while, and then cook for himself today's supper, but as soon as he sat down, he heard a crisp ticking sound from his ears.

He closed his eyes and listened to these familiar sounds, knowing that it was the sound of falling rain. However, after a moment, these sounds of falling rain, which were still a little rhythm, turned into endless clatters, endless.

Thick rain poured down from above the sky.

In a moment, the mountains and fields of Qiulu Township fell.

The middle-aged man leaned on the chair, leaning his head and closing his eyes to rest, as if he had fallen asleep, but then he was directly caught by a drop of raindrops that penetrated into the old tiles and fell directly on his eyebrows and was instantly awakened.

"It's raining all night long."

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, letting the raindrops splashed on his eyebrows blow into a pile of broken beads, and then flowed down the dry wrinkles formed by his increasing weight. When the water drops flowed down the sides of his nose, it looked like two faint tears.

Unfortunately, at his age, he would no longer be sad about spring and autumn because of little secular things. At the same time, he could not shed tears for the little touching between people.

"I really hate the rain!" The middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh.

Only he himself knew that he hated rain not because he hated rain, but because he hated that after the rain, the rain would penetrate his old wooden house that was already full of holes and needed to be repaired. However, he himself had long since no ability to repair the house.

As for asking people from the village to help with the repair?

He never thought of this. First, he did not have enough money to pay the wages; second, even if the villagers did not accept his money due to their close love, he would not want to owe them anything, because he knew that his time was not too much after all, and he would never have the chance to repay them.

"I don't know if those two scholars have successfully passed by the stream now."

The middle-aged man raised his head slightly and looked at the rain curtain that kept falling from the courtyard. He couldn't help but think of it. But then, he was once again occupied by a familiar dizziness.

It is difficult to describe in specific words what kind of feeling it is. It is like a gust of wind, swaying his mind, unable to think about any spirituality, and it also makes him feel like he is in a mist, and at the same time, it makes his heart gradually sink and cool down...

Originally, this dizziness would only happen once at the beginning two months, but after countless repetitions over the past decade, he would basically happen twice in a day.

The middle-aged man was in a daze and sat on the chair and endured a tragic experience of being completely uncontrollable. It was not until after only one cup of tea that this dizziness gradually became restrained. But without waiting for him to calm down as usual, a tingling sensation from the nerve suddenly rose and spread on his body.

"ah!"

The middle-aged man finally couldn't bear the pain similar to the pain that was pierced into his body one by one. He shouted out loud. He reached out to cover his head, but couldn't stop his whole body from trembling. After the dizziness just now, he couldn't exert any strength.

Therefore, his current state was like a drowning person who wanted to try hard to grasp the projection on the water surface, but in the end he found that it was just a duckweed leaf that could not support him to surface.

The pain continued to continue, and the shrill screams of the middle-aged man resounded in the wooden house. However, no matter how tragic his screams were, no one could hear them in his wooden house, which was already independent on the edge of the village, because his voice was directly drowned in the sound of the galloping rain.

Bang!

Under a violent struggle.

The middle-aged man, along with the seat under his butt, finally fell to the ground.

The ground in the house was smashed with a dirt hammer, and it was also very wet. The reasons for this situation were not only the water vapor that was constantly sputtering in from the patio, but also the rainwater that leaked from the roof. At this moment, the stream that had shrunk countless times was flowing from every corner with the scarred ground.

The middle-aged man fell to the ground and rolled for a moment, and then he turned into a clay man who seemed to fall into a pile of mud, making him look even more miserable.

However, compared to his experience outside of his body, there is no doubt that the pain in his body is much stronger.

The blue veins on his forehead were constantly moving. If someone could see what he had happened at this moment, he would find that there seemed to be crawlers passing by in the meridians on both sides of his forehead, and the two crawlers were crawling towards his eyes.

"ah!"

The middle-aged man continued to scream, and his weak hands directly grabbed the moving position in his meridians. His fingers formed claws, trying to dig out the monsters cruising in the meridians, but unfortunately, he had no strength at all and could not break his own skin.

So he could only feel the two reptiles in his consciousness, gradually approaching his eyes, and waiting in despair for the disaster to come. However, at this moment, in despair, he suddenly remembered the pill given to him by the scholar at noon.

He was not sure whether this pill was really as the other party said, and would have any effect on his illness, because over the years, he not only spent all his savings in order to seek medical treatment, but also experienced countless disappointments, because the final result was without exception, and the doctors were helpless about his illness, and even had no idea how to start.

The middle-aged man took out the pill given to him by Xu Yan from his arms with trembling hands. The eyes that looked like they were dripping blood were just glanced at it, and then he stopped hesitating and swallowed the pill into his mouth in one mouth.

He is the only choice now.

The pill melted immediately after entering his mouth, and he didn't even need to swallow it. Then, when the middle-aged man was stunned, the medicinal power had completely poured into his body.

Immediately afterwards, a severe pain rose from his chest without warning, as if someone was using a knife to cut his body constantly, which made the middle-aged man's body, which was already on the verge of collapse, even worse.

"puff!"

After the pain lasted for a cup of tea, the middle-aged man directly spit out a mouthful of black blood. When the blood stasis drifted on the ground and met the water vapor, he also made a "sniff" sound, like a sound of a charcoal thrown in cold water. However, it is obvious that with his current state, he had long since ignored this irrelevant phenomenon.

The pain in his body lasted almost half a quarter of an hour, which made him, who was almost unable to hold on, died of pain several times, but he was immediately awakened again. During the repeated process, the black blood spit out of his mouth was less like a big bowl of ordinary porcelain bowls.

The pain was finally fading away, but the middle-aged man was lying flat on the ground, and he was already in a state of despair. He didn't even know whether he was alive or dead.

His tired eyelids opened slightly, and his eyes looked ahead with a slouching look, but in fact he could not see anything, because in his sight, there was only a blurry grayish white, without any scenery. Just after the pain in his body had only stopped for a while, he felt a new pain that seemed to spread from his mind again.

When the middle-aged man noticed this scene, a deep fear immediately emerged from his hideous and pale face.

However, fear is just an emotion deep in his heart, and it has no help to what is happening to him.

The next moment, the middle-aged man who seemed to be dying made a painful cry from his mouth again, but the sound was not loud, or it was more accurate to describe it as a whimper. However, after this pain, he finally stopped spitting out black blood, but spit out two extremely disgusting and small finger-sized corpses that made him almost incredible.

The middle-aged man looked at the insect on the ground extremely weakly, and couldn't help but think, "What is this?"

...

When hearing the sudden sound of the piano in the bamboo forest, Xu Yan and the others paused for a moment, turned their heads and glanced at the bamboo house and stopped stopping, and continued to walk in front of the bamboo forest.

However, without waiting for Xu Yan to walk a few steps away, a very delicate and sweet voice came into his ears. Only a woman said to him: "Since it is pouring rain in the sky, why don't this young man come to the bamboo house to shelter the rain first and wait until the rain hears it before leaving?"

After hearing the voice, Xu Yan replied calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, but my brothers will go through the stream before the water surface rises, so I won't bother the girl."

The beautiful woman who was playing the piano couldn't help but smile when she heard Xu Yan call her a girl, but didn't care about anything. She did not stop the guqin that was fiddling in her hand. She just continued to play the piano: "This young man is joking. There is no stream ahead of you, you have to see clearly."

When Xu Yan heard the other party say this, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked. Then he withdrew his gaze and looked in front of the bamboo forest. Then he saw that as the other party said, not far ahead of him, the previous bamboo forest disappeared completely, and replaced by a cliff full of clouds and mist.

When Xu Yan saw this scene, he sneered in his heart. He immediately turned his long Bible to block his ears and isolate the other party's piano sound.

After a moment, when the sound of the piano stopped coming to his ears, the scenery in front of him returned to its original appearance.

Xu Yan said indifferently: "If a girl wants to use this kind of crappy illusion to keep me, she would be too underestimated. If you don't have any other means, I'll say goodbye first."

The stunning woman in the bamboo house couldn't help but feel cold when she saw Xu Yan's way so quickly, but her face was still not angry. Instead of tearing her apart, she smiled at Xu Yan and said, "It seems that the young master is indeed the same as the rumors outside. She is a genius of cultivation. However, if you can easily see through my illusion, the senior sister who is dressed as a man behind you seems not to be able to do so."

When Xu Yan heard the other party say this, his heart immediately became trembling. He turned to look at Gu Xueqing behind him, and found that the other party was already confused, like a puppet.

"Senior Sister Gu!"

Seeing her like this, Xu Yan immediately shouted in the wind and rain, but the result was obvious that she had no reaction at all.

So, Xu Yan had no choice but to tear off a piece of cloth from his body and split it into two, then rolled it into two small balls, and stuffed it into the other party's ears.

The stunning woman in the bamboo house did not make any stop when she saw Xu Yan doing this. She even stopped playing the piano. Then, she got up and walked to the door of the bamboo house, and said to Xu Yan with a smile: "Is it too late to think of insulating her sound?"

After hearing this, Xu Yan stopped wasting his efforts and immediately stopped the movement at hand. He turned to face her, and then asked calmly: "You really can't let us go, do you have to be someone else's hawk?"

The beautiful woman was never annoyed or angry, and she smiled but said nothing, but then she shook her head gently.

Seeing this result, Xu Yan didn't want to worry about it anymore, so he started to walk slowly towards the bamboo house opposite.

The woman in front of the bamboo house saw the other person walking towards her, her face was calm, but in fact, the moment Xu Yan raised her foot, her snow-white right hand behind her was already tightly clenched with her fingers. Just as Xu Yan approached to only about ten feet away from her, her tight fingers suddenly opened quietly again.

So, a thick breath suddenly rose from the woman.

Immediately afterwards, her sleeves covered with red and yellow colorful text suddenly floated up, and then her five fingers formed claws, as if she was grabbing something in the air, and waved her hard in the direction of Xu Yan.

"Swoosh!"

After a tremor sound.

Then a very pointed green bamboo cut by a hatchet burst out from the bamboo house, pointing directly to Xu Yan coming to the front.

When Xu Yan saw this green bamboo flying towards him, his face became calm. Even when the green bamboo was completely approaching his chest, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and clasped his fingers into claws, firmly blocking the green bamboo that was the size of a bowl but was like a giant sword flying.

The woman standing in front of the bamboo house, seeing the other person easily take on her move with a slight stern, could not help but stern in her beautiful eyes, because this result was completely different from what she expected.

She looked at Xu Yan, who was holding the bamboo pole with one hand in cold eyes, and said bluntly: "I didn't expect that you were so young, but your cultivation was so deep."

After hearing this, Xu Yan had no expression on his face and showed no expression. However, his right hand holding bamboo tightly exerted force and slammed the entire bamboo pole in his hand, turning it into countless bamboo silks. Then, before the bamboo silk fell from the sky full of rain to the ground, he waved his sleeves again, rolled up hundreds of drops of rain in the air, and at the same time, a powerful sword intent that was stronger than the other party was bursting out.

At this moment, the bamboo silks all turned into sharp sword energy.

Like rain falling in the air.

The beautiful woman swept across the sky in front of the bamboo house.

After seeing this scene, the latter could no longer maintain his original calmness, so he directly swept into the bamboo house. At the same time, the moment her figure entered the room, the two doors that were originally open were immediately closed tightly.

"Baobabababababa..."

An extremely explosive sound resounded in this bamboo forest.

Then, the wooden door, which was regarded as a shield by the woman, was finally overwhelmed and directly bombarded into pieces after successfully blocking Xu Yan's hundreds of sword energy.

When Xu Yan saw that the other party used cleverness to resolve his sword, he didn't care, but just stretched out his palm and gently supported it in the rain with his palm facing upwards.

After he made this simple action of lifting up, the rainwater that was falling all over the world floated in the air to form crystal clear water beads.

Then connect it into a line.

Gathered into a sword.
To be continued...
