Chapter 285: Snow Moon City, Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moon
Snow Moon City, Outer City.
As evening approaches and the sun sets, the sunset glow in the west contrasts with the buildings of Xueyue City, making it look particularly beautiful.
Under the city gate, two horses were moving listlessly. The man sitting on the horse was wearing a long green gown, with sleepy eyes and a lazy look. The other man was wearing a red dress, pointing at the plaque of the city gate, and said loudly: "Xiao Se, did we take the wrong road? Why is it Xiaguan? Isn't it Xueyue City?"
The green-shirted man known as Xiaose stretched out his hand, felt the spring breeze blowing in his face, and murmured, "Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flowers, Cangshan snow, Erhai moon. This is wind, flowers, snow, and moon."
These two people are the two main characters of the world of Young Song, Xiao Se and Lei Wujie. After bidding farewell to Monk Wuxin in Tian Kingdom, the two of them set out on the road to Xueyue City again. However, both of them have a serious sense of direction, and it took them nearly three months to get there.
(Since the protagonist will meet the young singer Xiao Se, his real name Xiao Chuhe will be used to replace the young singer Xiao Se later on.)
"What do you mean?" Lei Wujie was puzzled.
"Shut up." Xiao Chuhe rolled his eyes at him.
The two men dismounted and led their horses into the city.
As soon as he entered the city, Lei Wujie looked around like a curious baby, but he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. This city seemed too ordinary. There were vendors of all sizes on the streets, and there were many wine shops on both sides of the road. It was no different from an ordinary city.
"Are we really in the right place? This number one city in the world is too ordinary!" Lei Wujie was still puzzled.
Xiao Chuhe ignored him, led the horse, and walked towards a tavern on his own.
"Hey, you." Seeing that Xiao Chuhe ignored him, Lei Wujie had no choice but to follow him. At this moment, a young man in a black robe with gold inlays walked past him. Lei Wujie looked at the young man in disbelief, then looked at Xiao Se, and suddenly found that the two looked almost the same. Apart from the different clothes, the only difference was that the former had a slightly more childish face than the latter.
Immediately, Lei Wujie let go of the reins and quickly chased after Xiao Chuhe.
"Xiao Se. Xiao Se, look quickly, there's someone over there who looks like you." Lei Wujie patted Xiao Chuhe's shoulder, panting.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Xiao Chuhe frowned and instantly became interested. If someone looked like him, then it could only be his half-brothers who had always been at his side. Immediately, Xiao Chuhe looked around, but did not find any suspected "brothers".
"You must have seen it wrong."
"No. Look, that one over there wearing a black robe with gold trim." Lei Wujie pointed.
Xiao Chuhe subconsciously looked in the direction Lei Wujie pointed, and couldn't help but be stunned. There, a handsome young man with almost the same appearance as him stopped under the awning in front of a tavern, sat down, and ordered a pot of "Wind, Flowers, Snow and Moon" and a few side dishes.
"Xiao Se, I was right, wasn't I? That man looks really like you. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is the same as you. Could he be your brother?" Lei Wujie patted Xiao Chuhe's shoulder again.
"I don't have such a brother." Xiao Chuhe slapped Lei Wujie's hand away, sat down, and ordered a pot of 'Wind, Flowers, Snow and Moon'.
"That's too similar. Do you know him?" Lei Wujie didn't believe it.
"I don't know him." Xiao Chuhe poured a glass of wine, but his eyes never left the boy who looked similar to him.
"How about I go and ask for you? Maybe he is your long-lost brother." Lei Wujie asked tentatively.
"I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise it would not be worth it to lose your life. That person gives me a very dangerous feeling. Even more dangerous than the gun fairy Sikong Changfeng." Xiao Chuhe rarely restrained his lazy expression and said with a serious look.
"No way, that's the legendary gun master. I think he is younger than us. How is this possible?" Lei Wujie looked incredulous.
"Did you see the tattoo on that boy's right hand?" Xiao Chuhe said lightly.
Hearing this, Lei Wujie took a look and said hesitantly, "It's hidden by the sleeves and I can't see it clearly, but I can vaguely recognize it as a sword."
Xiao Chuhe nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Have you ever heard of the Snow Moon Sword?"
Hearing about the Snow Moon Sword, Lei Wujie's two small eyes sparkled with excitement. He stroked his chin and put on the air of a master, saying, "You've asked the right person. The Snow Moon Sword is the sword of the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, the leader of the five great sword immortals in the world. It is a sword that can spontaneously generate icy sword energy. It was still unknown ten years ago. But since it fell into the hands of the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, it has strongly crushed the Ming Suzaku, which ranks second in the Wushuang City Sword List and won second place. It is said that if the sword ranked first in the sword list was not special, the Snow Moon Sword would have been ranked first directly."
"It seems you are not that stupid." Xiao Chuhe nodded slightly and explained, "It is said that this Snow Moon Sword was obtained from Qingcheng Mountain when the Snow Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyi went to challenge the Taoist Sword Immortal Zhao Yuzhen."
"Qingcheng Mountain? So the Snow Moon Sword originally belonged to Qingcheng Mountain? Was it because the Snow Moon Sword Immortal defeated the Dao Sword Immortal and took it from him?" The mellow voice asked the question three times. Lei Wujie's naughty voice trembled violently because he was too excited. He was very interested in this kind of gossip.
"Do you still want to listen?" Xiao Chuhe rolled his eyes at him.
"No, no. I'm listening. I'm listening. I will never interrupt again." Lei Wujie laughed dryly.
Xiao Chuhe once again took a deep look at the black-shirted young man in the distance, sighed softly, and continued: "In fact, Snow Moon Sword Immortal did not fight with Dao Sword Immortal back then, and the Snow Moon Sword Immortal back then was probably not a match for Dao Sword Immortal. There was someone else who fought against Snow Moon Sword Immortal."
"Who is it?" Lei Wujie asked.
At this moment, a chuckle suddenly sounded beside the two people's ears: "It was a young man named Xiao Se. He fell from the sky and was mistaken for the Taoist swordsman by the Snow Moon Sword Fairy. The two fought, and the Snow Moon Sword Fairy's Tingyu Sword was cut off by the young man's sword. The young man compensated her with a sword, which later became the Snow Moon Sword."
As soon as the words fell, a handsome scholar carrying a peach wood sword on his back slowly walked over with a chubby servant leading a donkey. After the servant handed the reins to the waiting boy, the two walked into the tavern.
The scholar sat down with his servant boy, and bowed to Xiao Chuhe, saying, "My dear brother, do you mind if we share a seat?"
"You've already sat down, is it any use if I mind?" Xiao Chuhe rolled his eyes.
"Hello, my name is Lei Wujie. Did you just say that a young man named Xiao Se defeated the Snow Moon Sword Immortal?" Lei Wujie blinked his little eyes and stared at the scholar curiously.
The scholar smiled and said, "Not bad."
"I say Xiao Se, that young man couldn't be you, right?" Lei Wujie said in disbelief.
"Are you stupid? How old was I ten years ago?" Xiao Chuhe rolled his eyes again.
"That's right." Lei Wujie scratched the back of his head and smiled innocently.
