Flying to the Moon Chapter 3
Chapter 3 Young Lu Li
The emperor of heaven, deterring the six realms. The spiritual flow of the six realms starts the battle between immortals and demons. The demons are defeated, blood waves run for thousands of miles, blood rains for thousands of days, and the lives of people are burned. Millions of innocent and wronged souls are added to the underworld, and ghosts cry day and night, filled with resentment.
The deep murder finally offended Tianyan, a heavenly punishment, the crime of immortals and demons, the two worlds were almost destroyed.
In order to protect the monument of the six realms, a generation of immortals sacrificed their lives against the heavens, in exchange for the mercy of the heavens, the six realms were safe and sound, and the poor Lingliu had only been in hand for three thousand years, and the prosperous fairy gate suffered the worst loss in history. The immortals and hundreds of thousands The disciples died, and only the 20,000 disciples who had taken refuge in the human world survived. The tragic history made future generations unable to bear to mention it for thousands of years, and the immortal sect fell. For thousands of years, not only are there few ascended celestial beings, but there are also only a handful of real earthly immortals. The glorious history of that year has gradually been submerged in the long river, leaving only a long sigh.
The demon world is not much better. As early as after the great battle between the immortals and the demons, the demons and demons were seriously injured and almost wiped out. Under the punishment of heaven, the demons sneaked into the world to avoid disaster. No matter how difficult it is to make waves.
Only weak human beings have always been the darlings of heaven. They do not have powerful magic power and long life, but they have the most tenacious survival spirit and the most tenacious will to survive in the world. They have reproduced for thousands of years, and their tragic past is soon forgotten by them. , the loss of millions of lives is no longer a reason to blame others. Since Wu Zun opened up a line of cultivation, the power of human beings has become unprecedentedly powerful, and the world is showing a scene of prosperity.
Yin City, Wuyanghou Mansion.
There were two rows of guards standing neatly outside the vermilion lacquer gate, and the two stone lions under the steps were majestic. Many people lined up in a long line, and the scene was very lively. Some passers-by who didn’t know it carefully inquired, only to find out that the Hou’s mansion wanted to buy a group of maids. book boy.
This Marquis Wu Yang is a member of the Martial Dao School. He is highly trusted by the Holy One. He is dedicated to raising guards in the palace. Poor people who cannot afford to support their families will come to seek election with their own children—as long as they enter the Marquis Mansion, no matter who they are The servant girl Shutong is still sent to the palace as a guard, it is better than suffering outside, and she can exchange some money to subsidize the family.
“Liu Shaoer, you have to be obedient when you go in.”
“Oh.”
The fire burned down the entire street. Master Liu and his wife rescued their son, but the family property was burned. Since then, the situation of the Liu family has gradually deteriorated. Every day, the friends who were good friends with Master Liu in the past were generous To help each other, but at this juncture, Young Master Liu suddenly became seriously ill. After spending countless money, he barely survived for a year. The expensive medical fees and medical expenses made it difficult for the Liu family to support them, so they began to sell their land. Master Liu and his wife Wash my face with tears all day long. Those friends who were willing to borrow money before were thinking that the Liu family could make a comeback, but later they saw that the young master’s illness was a bottomless pit, who would be willing to contribute in vain, and they all disappeared behind closed doors.
The Liu family was squeezed into a small broken courtyard, the maids and servants were dismissed, the brocade clothes were turned into coarse cloth, the food was getting worse and worse, and Liu Shao had never cried or made trouble. Listening to Master Liu’s instructions, she couldn’t help remembering last night Overheard conversation.
“Jing’er can’t stop taking the medicine, master!”
“This… what can I do, it’s my destiny.”
“Master, Jing’er is our son! He wants to have a chance… I heard that the Marquis of Wuyang is going to buy a girl. Anyway, Liu Shao’er will suffer with us, so it is better to send her to the Marquis’s house as a girl, because of her appearance. , if you are favored by the nobles of the Hou Mansion, you can have a good result in the future, which is worse than falling into those places of fireworks, and maybe you can help the family…”
……
The person responsible for the selection was the steward of the Hou Mansion and a thin man. Soon it was Liu Shao’s turn. The steward squinted his eyes and looked at her a few times. He said with satisfaction, “You look good,” and then turned to the thin man. Obviously, that was the final decision. people. The thin man reached out and patted Liu Shao’s shoulder, then squeezed her arm bone, then nodded, and the steward signaled to write it down, and the two sides signed a contract.
Seeing that she was selected, Master Liu heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to put his fingerprint on the contract.
“Father.” Liu Shao tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Master Liu looked down at her: “What’s wrong?”
Liu Shao looked up at him and asked softly, “Do I really want to go in?”
Master Liu also felt a little sorry for his daughter, and tried his best to comfort her softly: “When my brother is cured, Dad will come to pick you up right away.”
Liu Shao still repeated: “Do you have to go in?”
My daughter was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and she was afraid she would suffer if she went in. Master Liu finally thought of this, and asked the steward, “Dare to ask the steward, what is my daughter doing in the Marquis’s residence?”
The steward glanced at him: “If you sign the deed of sale, you will be a member of the Marquis Mansion. Whatever you do is arranged by the owner, if you don’t want to, just take it back!”
The life of the son is the most important thing, so Master Liu didn’t ask any more questions when he got the one hundred taels of silver. He pulled Liu Shao to coax her: “Be obedient, Dad will come to see you often.” Then he happily signed the deed. handprint.
The cold wind lifts the writing paper, and the vermilion handprints are exceptionally clear.
Liu Shao didn’t say anything anymore, she just stared at her father blankly, her almond eyes were dark and bottomless.
The steward chuckled lightly.
Once a person is sold into the Hou’s mansion, even his parents are not recognized, so visits are not allowed.
Mr. Liu took Liu Zhi and told Xu Xu that Liu Zhi was young and was gradually being coaxed by good words. Even so, she was still a little listless, looking around and casually looking at the people around her.
Suddenly, his gaze settled on the corner of the wall across the street.
That is……
Her heart beat violently, and Liu Shao rubbed her eyes vigorously.
In the corner, a familiar figure stood there quietly, with a black cloak, purple water essence, and not gorgeous attire, but it made people feel extremely gorgeous and noble.
The cloak shaded his eyes, but she knew he was looking at her.
Hope was like fire, burning in his chest, but his eyes became more and more blurred.
Liu Shao couldn’t help calling him loudly: “Moon! Moon!”
This sound is to abandon the last self-esteem and beg for his rescue. She is about to be sold into the Hou’s mansion. She used to be his princess, and he used to indulge her like that… He is so powerful, he will definitely be able to save her and prevent her from being sold out!
The figure remained indifferent, as if not hearing.
But Liu Shao knew that he heard it, earlier than he expected, she had already found out that she was at a loss in this transaction, if she had known that today would come, she would definitely give up those three days, at least she could let him rescue her now.
People are like this, when they have a lot in their hands, they don’t cherish it, and they don’t regret it until they squander it all. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world.
Tears rolled down like beads, Liu Zhi choked up and couldn’t speak, only stretched out his arms to him, the familiar movement, expecting him to come and hug her like before. Mother said that husband and wife will be together forever, he will not ignore her, at least he will come back to see her, won’t he? She just wanted to throw herself into his arms and cry, telling him the grievance in her heart.
Noticing something unusual, Mr. Liu followed her line of sight suspiciously, only seeing an empty corner of the wall.
“Liu Shao’er?” Master Liu shook her, “The steward has called you, go in quickly.”
Liu Shao seemed to have never heard of it, and was still looking at the corner stubbornly. However, she only saw him pulling the cloak, turning his back mercilessly, and then disappeared.
The last hope was disillusioned, and Liu Shao finally burst into tears.
He really doesn’t care about her anymore, she is no longer his princess.
.
When she was brought into the gate of the mansion, that figure reappeared in the corner.
“She saw me, Lan Chi, she can actually see me.”
“It’s not surprising, she has your blood on her body.”
“It should be for this reason,” he sighed, “giving up daughters for sons, human beings.”
“You successfully carried out the first step, but now she is going to enter martial arts.”
“It’s not serious,” he thought for a while, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. “I’m also interested in Renxiu. It’s still early. Let her enter martial arts first. I need to draw up a more detailed plan on how to proceed to the second step.” plan.”
“Human life is too fragile, and accidents may happen at any time. I suggest sending someone to protect her.”
“Hmm…” He didn’t say anything, “Look at the look in her eyes just now, she seems to hate me.”
“No one likes to be teased, let alone you are not human.”
“Your words make me uncomfortable, Lan Chi, she’s just a child,” he laughed, “but you’re right, she can’t have any accidents.”
“You can’t leave for too long, Master, it’s time to go back.”
.
Liu Zhi was forcibly dragged into the mansion, she was still struggling and crying when she entered the door, the guards had long experience in dealing with such situations, they raised their whips unceremoniously. After taking it down, she was in pain and fear, and she didn’t dare to make a fuss anymore, and even the sound of sobbing was forced to swallow it back into her stomach. Turning around, there are about dozens of children who were selected into the Marquis Mansion together with her. They are all around twelve or thirteen years old, and their clothes are tattered. After all, except for Liu Zhi, ordinary people will not easily sell their children. All the crying and screaming children ate the whip and became honest.
Hou’s mansion is many times bigger than Liuyuan’s house. The children followed the steward into a quiet forest. There is an inconspicuous stone building in the forest. After entering the door, a guard pressed it somewhere, and the wall in front of it moved. Open it, revealing a secret passageway, with fire lights inside, the stone steps leading down, and a faint wind leaking out.
Under the secret passage is a huge basement, with thick torches burning on the wall, all the children stopped and stood upright when they heard the steward’s words.
Didn’t you mean to be a girl? Why did you come to the cellar? Although Liu Shao was young, she was from a good background and knew what a servant girl did, so she soon realized that something was wrong. When she was wondering, she walked down the stone steps by herself, and it was the skinny man who was responsible for the selection earlier. The guards all saluted him, so it was clear that his status was not low. Seeing his ferocious appearance and gloomy expression, Liu Shao was even more frightened, and quickly lowered his head by two points.
The steward was also very polite to the thin man: “Leave this to Fang Weichang, and I will report to Lord Hou.” After speaking, he went out.
Fang Weichang paced and scanned each child, his eyes were like sharp knives, extremely vicious.
After a long time, he spoke with a hoarse voice: “I don’t care what your previous surnames are or what your backgrounds are, I just want you to remember that when you enter the Hou’s mansion, you are the Hou Ye’s people, and there are no more parents, mothers and brothers. From now on, I will be your master, responsible for teaching you martial arts.”
Martial arts? The children were a little excited.
The famous martial arts in the six worlds, no one in the world knows it! Although people in martial arts are very bad and fierce, they are all very powerful!
“Learning martial arts is to be loyal to Lord Hou and serve Lord Hou.” Fang Weichang signaled, and the guard brought a plate of cooked meat. It was almost noon, and the children were also hungry. What’s more, most of them came from poor backgrounds and could not eat a few meals of meat a year. , smelling the fragrance at this moment, dozens of pairs of eyes were shining at the same time.
Chief Fang looked at their reactions with satisfaction, and said, “Those who are obedient and well-cooked have their own meat to eat, and those who are not well-cooked…” He stopped at this point, and his eyes fell on a boy.
The boy pouted as he lectured.
Fang Weichang didn’t speak, just waved his hand, two guards immediately went over to drag the boy out of the team and tied him to the rack, one guard raised the cane whip, the whip saw blood, and the stone room echoed like the boy’s heart-piercing Seeing the screams, the rest of the children were terrified and shrank back with pale faces, and the timid ones cried on the spot.
“I want to get out!” a child screamed.
“Let us go, I’m not here anymore!”
The children suddenly became a mess, Chief Fang Wei was used to this kind of scene, without his order, the guards had already tied the two children who led the disturbance to the torture rack, and there were endless screams in the stone room.
“Let me watch!” Fang Weichang ordered coldly, his eyes wandering around everyone, like a cold poisonous snake, “If you don’t look at it, hit it!”
After the punishment was over, the three boys were put down on the rack. Their clothes were soaked in blood, and they almost fainted from the pain, but they had to stand up because of fear. The rest of the children were forced to witness the entire brutal and bloody execution process, and their fear was even worse, so they dared not speak out.
Liu Shao bit her lip tightly, she had never seen such a terrible thing, martial arts people are really bad! Worse than the monster I saw that night!
There was another sound of footsteps, and several people walked down the stone steps one after another.
The man was in his forties, well-dressed, burly, with a broad face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a short black beard on his chin, but he was also handsome, his sharp eyes revealed majesty, he was Wu Yanghou. It turned out that buying girl book boys this time was just a cover. Wu Yanghou’s real purpose was to select a group of suitable children to secretly train as killers, so he paid special attention to the quality of the candidates and came to check them out in person.
Fang Weichang respectfully led the crowd to salute, Wu Yanghou glanced at the tortured child, without any surprise, two servants carried a large chair and placed it on the stone steps, Wu Yanghou sat down on the chair , said slowly: “I bought you here with the intention of cultivating you. Chief Fang Wei is a master of martial arts. As long as you learn martial arts from him and work hard in the future, I will reward you.”
No amount of rewards has lost its appeal at this moment, how dare the children agree.
Marquis Wu Yang turned around and called out, “Lu Li!”
A figure came out from behind him in response, everyone didn’t notice him just now, they couldn’t help being surprised when they saw this, even Chief Fang Wei was stunned.
.
It was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old with an extremely delicate face.
Narrow eyebrows, a beautiful nose and thin lips, an overly pale face that is crystal clear like cold jade, long black hair loosely tied, illuminated by the faint fire light, a light and mysterious brilliance draped over a tall and thin body, half of which is hidden behind the stone pillar In the shadows, it seems to stand between the boundary between darkness and light.
The lonely boy stood quietly on the steps, obviously dressed in rags, with his eyes lowered humbly, so fragile in beauty, but still as noble as a prince.
Wu Dao’s requirements for Gengu are far inferior to those of Xianmen, but Gengu has an absolute advantage. Fang Weichang’s eyes flashed brightly. He reached out and patted the young man on the shoulder and back twice, and praised: “Okay! Master Hou has good eyesight.” !”
Amidst the sound of admiration, the boy raised his eyes and looked down.
Liu Shao was in a daze, and unexpectedly met his gaze, and immediately gasped, her heart beating wildly.
Eyes, dark purple eyes! The outline is clear and perfect, the depth is bottomless, and the eyes are crystal clear and charming, as if trying to hook the soul of a person…
There was no such pair of purple pupils in her memory, but Liu Shao felt inexplicably familiar, and became annoyed, because the goodwill brought by her outstanding appearance had completely disappeared, and she abruptly looked away from the boy.
“The one from the neighboring city, I met by chance, is a good seedling, I’ll let you take a closer look at it,” Wu Yanghou ordered Fang Weichang meaningfully, and then motioned to Lu Li, “You also go down and stand.”
Lu Li listened to the order and walked down. His figure was considered tall among the children, standing out from the crowd, and he quickly won the attention of the girls. As he walked by, the eyes showed disappointment.
He stopped beside Liu Shao.
Liu Shao glared at him.
Lu Li didn’t realize that, taking advantage of Marquis Wu Yang’s discussion with Chief Fang Wei, he took the initiative to ask her, “My name is Lu Li, what’s your name?”
The voice was a little lower than that of the boy of the same age, but still very pleasant, and the speech was elegant and polite, Liu Shao immediately concluded that his background should not be bad, but from the natural tone, Liu Shao heard a trace of deliberate concealment, He had noticed her a long time ago and came to strike up a conversation on purpose.
Liu Shao always likes to be noticed by people, especially good boys, but at this moment, instead of being proud, she feels disgusted, and it’s not because she is good-looking!
“It’s none of your business!” She immediately moved two steps to the side, revealing her disgust unabashedly.
Lu Li froze for a moment, then looked at her with great interest.
Liu Shao raised her eyebrows ferociously: “What are you looking at! I just won’t tell you!”
The girls around were all listening. Seeing her bad attitude, they were dissatisfied. They glared at her and comforted Lu Li.
“Why is she like this!”
“Lu Li, don’t pay attention to her, who cares!”
“I know, her name is Liu Shao’er, I’ve heard her father call her that!” a tall, heroic-looking girl told Lu Li in a low voice.
“Oh, Liu Shao’er,” Lu Li asked the girl with a dazed look, smiling, “Thank you, what’s your name?”
“Baifeng.” The girl restrained her joy and replied reservedly.
He was the one who provoked her first, but now everyone is scolding her! Liu Shao was about to die of anger, she turned her face away and never looked at it again.
On the stone steps, Wu Yanghou finished discussing things, encouraged the children with a few words, and left. Fang Weichang ordered the children to stand in the middle, he raised his left hand, and several wooden signs flew out from his sleeve, and inserted them on the surrounding ground in an orderly manner. In an instant, strange patterns lit up on the ground, the so-called “Xianmen Yujian Riding the Clouds, Martial Arts Walking lightly”, all the children felt the wind in their ears, their eyes blurred, and after a while, all of them stood in a dense forest.
.
The moonlight is hazy, and the wet dew flies through the window.
At the end of the day’s training, dozens of girls huddled together in a large room to sleep, with the musty smell of dry grass beneath them. In the early spring, the weather was still cold, and the willow branches were so cold that she couldn’t sleep. Fear and hunger made her tremble all over. The blood on her back stuck to her clothes, and she felt a burning pain every time she moved. The scene of the day was always in her mind. don’t go.
With a swishing sound, dozens of arrows streaked across the sky like meteors and fell to the other side of the mountain.
“Everyone takes back an arrow, and hurry back within half an hour,” Chief Fang’s devil-like voice rang in his ears, “Eat when you finish the task, if you can’t finish it…”
Seventy-two children, only thirty-six arrows, the terrible whip awaits the loser. The harsh training made the children realize the horror of reality. No one expected that such a price would be paid for survival. The weak would be starved and whipped all the time, and even more likely to be tortured to death.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and there was gradually movement in the room. After such a day of training, who can sleep? The girls tossed and turned, most of them were punished and starved during the day.
Finally, someone who didn’t know suggested in a low voice: “Let’s run!”
Yes! As long as you escape from this place, even if you go back and starve with your family, it’s better than staying here!
A bold girl tiptoed to the door and looked outside, surprised and said: “No one!”
The girls sat up one by one and looked at each other as if they had been pardoned. Some of them thought of the power of the whip and hesitated to lie down again. More girls walked out of the door resolutely, and Liuzhi was among them. She had never eaten this kind of food before. It’s so hard, I want to leave more than anyone else!
Twenty or so girls slipped out of the room, and boys from the next room also slipped out one after another. Forty or so children chose to escape at night. They ran desperately in the forest, but they didn’t know that the forest was hundreds of miles away from Yin City. In addition, there are clever magic circles around them, and their escape is doomed to fail.
“Want to run? You are very courageous.” The sneer sounded close to the top of the head, very clear.
They are coming! The children panicked, and a clever man yelled “separate and run”, most of the children understood it immediately and scattered in all directions.
Liu Zhi ran slowly, lagging behind alone, the light in the forest was weak, she groped with one foot high and one foot low, and all she saw were cold and hard tree trunks and gloomy leaf shadows.
The shrill cry came, it was the children who were caught!
Liuzhi became more and more frightened, and rushed forward like a headless fly. Suddenly, her feet were caught by a stone or a tree root, and she fell down and rolled into the thorn bushes at the bottom of the slope. She didn’t know where she was injured. , because she could no longer feel the pain.
Can’t escape! She will be caught, and Chief Fang will beat her to death!
The top of the head was not covered by branches and leaves, revealing a narrow sky. Lying on her back, the willow tip just saw the cold moon, which was as crystal as an ice plate, and the silver light had no temperature at all. It sent endless despair and took away her last breath. strength.
Finally, a cold hand grabbed her.
Liu Zhi struggled and shrunk into a ball, hugging her head: “No! Spare me, let me go!”
“I am not a bad guy.”
“Yue!” Liu Zhi stopped screaming, raised her eyes abruptly, and was stunned after seeing the person coming, “…is it you?”
The voice in her memory was low and charming. This voice should be a little more mellow, probably because of her young age, but it was still 70% similar at first glance, which led her to admit her mistake.
Under the moonlight, the sparkling purple pupils seemed to have a more magical nature, with a mysterious brilliance.
Liu Shao did not resist in a strange way, and let him pull himself up from the ground.
He also recognized her: “Oh, it turned out to be Liu Shao’er.”
Despite his best efforts to appear unexpected, the tone still sounded so fake, he didn’t mean it! He has been following her! Liu Shao thought that he might have seen her panic-stricken appearance, secretly hated her, and threw his hand away: “Who wants you to care!”
Lu Li said, “I can’t escape, let’s go back.”
Liu Shao said, “I’m not going back!”
Lu Li smiled and said, “Then I’ll go back.”
Seeing that he really left, Liu Shao hurriedly chased after him: “Hey! Wait!”
Without even turning his head, he pulled her up and walked straight forward: “Perhaps Chief Fang Wei didn’t notice us.”
With someone by her side, Liu Shao’s heart became a little more stable. Now that things have happened, she has to be lucky-so many people have escaped, maybe they really didn’t find themselves, as long as they go back as soon as possible, everything will be fine , So she followed him obediently without saying a word.
