When the last rays of sunlight disappeared into the dark clouds in the sky, and the thunder rolled, a bright electric light flickered in the sky above the sky.

Xu Lin looked up at the cloudy sky, felt a hint of coolness in the breeze, and after frowning slightly, he sped up his pace, trying to find a place to rest before the rain fell.

The sky was not as good as expected, and a few drops of cold rain suddenly fell on Xu Lin's face at some point. Immediately afterwards, accompanied by the roar of thunder in the ears, such as the sound of beans bursting, it sounded one after another, and the rain accumulated in the dark clouds finally tilted down, but it came so fiercely.

Hurriedly ran to the bottom of a big tree on the side of the road, Xu Lin looked at the rain in front of him, stretched out his hand to wipe the rain off his face, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Looking up at the big tree behind him, looking at the bare trunk, there were a few pitiful green leaves, Xu Lin laughed at himself, how can this half-dead tree shelter from the wind and rain?

Lifting the cold jade sword in his hand, when Xu Lin just wanted to take a step away, a bright red suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and Xu Lin looked stunned, but he looked carefully.

I saw that on the ancient road where no one was visible, there was an umbrella holder, dressed in a simple coarse linen robe, and carrying a basket in the other hand, and under the red umbrella, a pale old woman stopped at this time and looked at herself with a smile.

"Little brother, this rain is quite heavy, I'm afraid it won't stop for a while and a half, can you hold an umbrella with your old body?"

If I kill you now, won't this umbrella be mine alone?" After such a thought flashed in his heart, Xu Lin's face showed a hearty smile, and then he ran quickly towards the old woman.

But Xu Lin, who was running, gradually slowed down, and his face showed a hesitant look.

This is not a town, except for Xu Lin and the old woman with an umbrella, there is no one else, it can be regarded as a wilderness. Looking at the strange red appearance of the umbrella and the old woman with a kind face on her face, Xu Lin's heart became colder and colder, and the cold jade sword in his hand was also held tighter.

Turned into a goblin?

Since Xu Lin stepped into the path of cultivation, whether it was following the bloodstained Taoist before, or later apprenticed under the Kunlun sect, Xu Lin has seen a lot of strange things, and he has heard a lot of rumors, and then looking at the current situation, Xu Lin's heart has gradually cooled down.

The sword heart and the immovable blood heart were released at the same time, and he watched the old woman's every move cautiously, and at this time, the old woman who was not far from Xu Lin suddenly said: "You baby, why are you twisting and pinching like a girl, don't come over quickly!"

But the old woman holding the umbrella saw Xu Lin suddenly not moving at this time, and saw that his face had a hesitant look, thinking that Xu Lin was shy and embarrassed.

Xu Lin still didn't move, but the old woman with the umbrella came over and saw that there was anger on her face.

But it was precisely because the old woman came over, instead of using some flying sword dao technique to smash over, that although Xu Lin was still a little nervous in his heart, he eased up a lot.

The rain was very heavy, Xu Lin's whole body was already soaked, I don't know why, the sword in Xu Lin's hand was never pulled out, but he looked at it so coldly, until the top of his head turned red, and his expression eased slightly.

The old woman stuffed the umbrella in her hand into Xu Lin's hand and said, "You baby, it's strange, I'm so old, why are you still shy." ”

Xu Lin's face smiled stiffly, he took the umbrella, and after a while, he returned to the image of the scholar, his expression was full of shyness, and while he was not accompanied one after another, he was also blaming himself in his heart.

Just now, why didn't he just pull out the blade of the sword in his hand and kill the old woman directly?

When the danger is approaching, no matter whether this danger really exists or not, as long as the heart feels something, draws the sword and kills, and nips the danger in the bud is the right way, but then I think about it, such Xu Lin, such a self, can still be called an ordinary person?

When Xu Lin didn't notice it, the corners of his mouth hung up in a wonderful arc.

Xu Lin, who laughed at himself, spurned and despised himself in his heart, but at the same time, he thought that he was not a ghost in human skin?

The old woman was very talkative, and her feet were good, she talked and laughed with Xu Lin along the way, and by the way, she also asked some questions about Xu Lin's life experience, which was casually perfunctory by Xu Lin.

However, for the old woman herself, Xu Lin has a lot of problems.

This woman looks at her age, she is close to the age of the sixtieth year, and in such weather, she is still walking alone on this ancient road where there is no village and no shop, there must be something hidden.

The old woman didn't hide anything about herself, she told Xu Lin very happily, and as soon as she said it, it was endless, and Xu Lin just listened silently, I don't know why, Xu Lin's heart gradually warmed up.

The feeling that the old woman brought to Xu Lin was very familiar, but it seemed to have been forgotten for a long time, and now that he felt it again, Xu Lin could only sigh in his heart.

From the old woman's words, Xu Lin knew that she originally lived near Lingzhou City, where there was a temple called Guangyuan Temple, and her home was at the foot of the temple.

The reason why this is the case today is to visit a distant relative, and the old woman now has only this one relative, so she cherishes it very much.

On the ancient road, an old man and a young man held a very eye-catching red umbrella and walked forward against the wind and rain.

Xu Lin silently used the sword breath to block the rain that went with the wind as much as possible, but did not let the old woman suffer anything, until the sky gradually lost its bright color, Xu Lin vaguely saw a high mountain, and the old woman pointed to the mountain peak and said to Xu Lin with some excitement: "Look, it's there, God bless, it's finally almost there." ”

This is not a very high mountain, at least in Xu Lin's eyes, it is because he is used to seeing majestic scenery like Mochizuki Peak, and when he looks at the scene in front of him at this time, he can't help but feel extremely dull.

The old woman pulled Xu Lin, and arrived at the door of an old house made of loess, looked around, but there was no other family, Xu Lin couldn't help frowning slightly: "Aunt Xu, you are the only family here?"

The old woman opened the door lock and nodded in response: "Well, I'm the only one with this bad old woman, and I'm so quiet, so I'm used to living." ”

Hearing this, Xu Lin was even more puzzled in his heart, he was used to living in it, thinking that along the way, this Xu woman kept saying endless words in her mouth, which is like what a quiet person should do. I raised my eyes and looked at the surrounding scene, and saw that the small courtyard in front of the house, although the surrounding walls were a little broken, but the firewood piles and chicken coops in the yard were still placed in a regular manner, and there was no abnormal change in the Xu woman along the way, but Xu Lin felt that the old woman seemed to be hiding something.

With a squeak, the door had opened, and Xu Lin entered the house with the old woman, Xu Lin looked around carefully.

This room is not big, as soon as you enter the door, there is a kitchen, a stove, a water tank and some utensils used for cooking, neatly placed aside.

When Xu Lin passed by the stove, his fingers lightly scratched the surface of the pot, but there was no dust. When he walked into the inner room, he saw a long earthen kang with a quilt stacked on it, and there were only a few simple wooden pieces of furniture in the room.

The Xu woman first asked Xu Lin to sit down on a wooden chair, and she opened a large box in the corner of the room, and found a few coarse cloth clothes from it for Xu Lin to go to the kitchen to change into first.

Xu Lin pretended to be embarrassed, and after a few simple polite words, he took the clothes and went to the kitchen, when changing clothes, Xu Lin's heart was still thinking about the doubts in his heart before, and then he suddenly thought of a little, and couldn't help but scold himself for being too stupid.

This Xu woman, after meeting Xu Lin, in the conversation between the two along the way, seemed to have never talked about her old man, that is, her father-in-law. And a normal person, whether her spouse is alive or has long since died, every bit of her life will have the shadow of her partner, so in the words, how can she bring a little bit out, but what about Xu?

Looking at the slightly empty room in front of him, an idea suddenly popped up in Xu Lin's mind, could it be that the Xu family had never been married?

As soon as this idea came out, it was rejected by Xu Lin, who looked at the simple furniture in the house before, although the paint was a little mottled, although its edges and corners were also a little damaged, but in Xu Lin's cognition, these things should have been constructed in the past few years, and she was a woman who was close to the sixtieth birthday, can she make it?

Along the way, the old woman was full of praise for the monks in the temple on the mountain, especially a young monk who was about her own age.

Whenever she mentioned this little monk with the Buddha name "Wu Wei", the expression on her face was always filled with an indescribable sense of happiness, which made Xu Lin a little incomprehensible.

This idea is a bit funny in Xu Lin's own opinion, and the difference in age is too big! But in Xu Lin's heart, I don't know why, since the moment he met this woman, he always had an indescribable feeling, and this feeling has always been entangled in his heart and lingered.

When Xu Lin finished changing his clothes and washed up briefly, the old woman had already changed her clothes, and said some inconsequential words to Xu Lin as before.

After a simple use of some coarse tea and light rice, Xu Lin temporarily set up a bed in the kitchen, and the Xu woman closed the door of the inner room and fell asleep one after another.

Listening to the sound of rain falling outside the door, Xu Lin's heart was like this rain, unable to calm down and unable to calm down. The cold jade sword tower in his arms was tighter, feeling the slightest hint of coldness, Xu Lin's heart was also a lot more relieved, so he slowly closed his eyes, silently thinking about the things in his heart.

And this night, it was pouring rain.
