Chapter 60
Chapter 60
The cold sky gradually illuminated the small area at the bottom of Broken Heart Cliff. Amidst the sounds of a few lonely birdsong, the light moved to Mei Xin's face, and a faint warmth made her eyelids move.
Mei Xin opened her eyes, moved her body away from the rock, and stretched.The master was still meditating on the spot and did not wake up.Hmm... Even if the master fell asleep, his demeanor would not be reduced by half. She took a deep breath of the clear air and looked at the surrounding environment.
Under the high cliff, there is only a long and narrow valley with a size of seven or eight acres. In front of it is a cold ice pool. The water in the pool is not big, about two acres in size. Dan shimmering.
Last night, the master and the apprentice rested on a small piece of flat ground next to the mountain wall, and only embers remained in the fire for warmth.A few upright fir trees and miscellaneous wild roses grow by the water. Leaves fall, flowers wither, and withered grass. A withered leaf swirls down from mid-air. The morning light is full of depression, which makes people feel deep in the soul. All radiate loneliness.
Mei Xin couldn't help but glanced at the master who was meditating with his eyes closed again, alas, luckily he wasn't alone.
In such a ghostly place, how did Xiaolongnv live for 16 years without going crazy? ! ==
Mei Xin sighed, and tightened her clothes - usually she was alive and kicking, so she wouldn't feel too cold if she wore more or less clothes, but now she had just been detoxified and her body hadn't recovered, so she felt the chill invade.
Master's face was still white and transparent, and there was a bit of haggardness in his brows. He must be in a worse condition than himself.So he got up silently and picked up dead branches in a farther place.
During the action, Master also woke up, Mei Xin asked: "Master, how do you feel today?"
Huang Yaoshi looked at his apprentice's concerned face with his eyes open, and shook his head. He didn't know whether to say he was fine or he was recovering.
Mei Xin was also somewhat interested, and instead of asking, she put down the firewood branch she was holding in her hand, sat down next to Master with drooping eyebrows, and said, "Master, alas, how did you get to this place? They didn't even come to find us."
The little dragon girl has a jade bee to make honey, and she can also engrave messages on the wings of the jade bee.What if Aunt Bai and the others never came to find her? Did she stay for ten or eight years?Mei Xin complained deeply.
"It's okay, they should come to look for us, don't worry. Besides, there is Master." Huang Yaoshi whispered comfortingly.Mei Xin felt a little more at ease. Didn't she spend some time at the bottom of Jianhu Lake with her master?This place is just a little smaller than that, and the light is a little darker.
Recalling that time, Mei Xin had a smile on her face and said, "Master, you wait, I'll fetch water to wash your face."
Huang Yaoshi was seriously injured and couldn't move. He could only watch his little apprentice happily run to the other side of the cliff, as if he had suddenly regained his spirit from a frost-beaten eggplant, and effortlessly cut down an unsullied plant. Knowing how many years the cedar tree has grown, I vigorously took out a wooden basin with Master's dagger that cut gold like mud, thinking that Master requires exquisiteness in everything, so I made it as smooth as possible,
Fortunately, the dagger is also very handy.
Her current level of internal strength is also comparable to that of ordinary first-rate masters in the Jianghu. Her hand strength, eyesight, and internal strength control have become much more precise after Master's continuous guidance. Although she has never done carpentry, she still looks pretty good.After finishing the wooden basin, another old bamboo was cut down to make two bamboo cups.
She fetched a basin of water in the cold pool, scooped up a cup of water with a bamboo tube, put the wooden basin in front of Master with one hand, and passed the bamboo tube over with the other.
Huang Yaoshi took the bamboo tube, and couldn't help but said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, the Xiao Wuxiang Kungfu of the Xiaoyao School can also be used for carpentry. The famous dagger 'Xueling' on the weapon list, you took it a few days ago, and it can be used for carpentry." Use it like this..."
Mei Xin smiled brightly and said, "Master, isn't this what you taught me not to stick to things in the past. Hehe. You wash your face first, and I'll catch fish."
----
Looking at Mei Xin's back, Huang Yaoshi took out his purse and smiled, there were several red beans in it.
Not long after she came back from the White Camel Villa, the relationship between the master and the apprentice gradually adjusted to the state before reaching the bottom of Dali Sword Lake.Respectful, meticulous, aware of one's own mind, put away as much as possible the attitude of ambiguity and hope, as if he is just an ordinary good apprentice who is filial to the master.Along the way, trivial matters must be properly arranged, and you must first ask yourself for instructions on what to do.However, that kind of moody look, which seems to be hiding something in his heart, cannot be concealed from anyone, let alone the shrewd and meticulous Huang Yaoshi.
How do I get back to the moment when I returned to Peach Blossom Island from Dali?The apprentice must have been aggrieved for too long, Huang Yaoshi thought.But at this moment, I can't move yet, and I have to accept the careful care of my apprentice.
Even though he regained the memory of Mei Xin, Huang Yaoshi still felt a little embarrassed and uneasy.Feeling sorry for his apprentice who went to the Western Regions to suffer so much, and feeling guilty for his apprentice's constant hospitality, he couldn't adapt to this strange and complicated feeling for a while, so he was stunned for a while.
"Master, take this skewer." Mei Xin handed Huang Yaoshi a skewer of grilled fish. Hey, it would be even better if there was fish soup, but where can I get a pot...
There is no salt here, and there is nothing for daily necessities. How did Xiaolongnu survive in such a harsh environment? Living in such a place for 16 years, when finally found by Yang Guo, can he still maintain his immortal posture?By the way, when will that servant girl of Lin Chaoying accept her as an apprentice... Mei Xin was thinking wildly while eating fish.
"Xin'er..." Mei Xin had just finished eating the grilled fish when she heard her master calling her, so she quickly took out her handkerchief, wiped her mouth, and seeing that her master hadn't eaten, she asked, "Master, what's the matter, don't you have an appetite?" ?”
"No, I just want to call you." Huang Yaoshi curled his lips, and realized that he didn't know what to say. For the first time in his life, he felt this kind of conflict and entanglement.
But he was born with a paralyzed face. When he was expressionless, it was no different from usual, and then he began to eat very calmly, as if the "Xin'er" just now was
Mei Xin's own hallucination.
Mei Xin was surprised, she opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, after Master finished eating, she cleaned up the ground.
It was still early, and she played a set of Tianshan Zhemei Shou, while Huang Yaoshi gave some pointers, and it was quite enjoyable.

Ouyang Ke got up early in the morning and walked towards Broken Heart Cliff. Today's weather is particularly good, and there are even a few thin rays of morning glow. He always feels that he will find something.
He set foot on the dangerous mountain path on Broken Intestine Cliff, passed a big rock covered by weeds and thorns, and came to the narrowest part of the mountain path, which was only two feet wide—the place where Chen Xuanfeng attacked.The corpses of Chen Xuanfeng and Qiu Qianren had been removed, and the ground was stained with dark red blood stains, and there were messy footprints of people coming and going.
He knelt down and looked at the blood-stained gravel, always feeling a little strange, a small piece of the stone seemed to have fallen off, and a few plants and trees beside the mountain road were also broken.I heard that Lin'an has a very famous criminal judge, why am I not his disciple.Ouyang Ke scratched his head, carefully moved forward a few steps, and looked down while holding onto a stone in a not-so-narrow part of the mountain path.
The mouth of the valley is too small, there is only a crack about ten feet wide, and it is completely impossible to see the situation underneath.He yelled a few times with all his internal strength, but no one answered. He threw small stones down, but there was no response. He couldn't help but sat on the ground in frustration and sulked.No, I can't find them, my uncle will still have a life-and-death talisman after a year.
Ouyang Ke stood up, went back to Narcissus Manor to find the farmer, took an extremely long hemp rope, tied one end to the boulder on the Broken Heart Cliff, and dropped the other end off the Broken Heart Cliff, and slipped down for a long time while pulling the rope. Looking down tremblingly, the cliff is high and dangerous, with limited eyesight, it is really difficult to find out the situation below.
Now he was really discouraged, he didn't take the rope, he went straight out of the Valley of Unrequited Love, and headed for Peach Blossom Island—maybe it was true as Bai Youyu said, the two of them were impatient to deal with everyone, so they left directly, it would be better to go to Peach Blossom Island Stay on the sidelines.But he clearly felt that Sister Mei was not someone who would leave without saying hello.
