Old Places

Qing Yun Hill, Big Bamboo Valley

Misty clouds between theThe early ether with the fresh crisp breeze, passed through that stretch of green ba Bamboo Valley summit

That area of architectures with Observed Silence Hall as its centre, quietly stood still in the dawn rays, everything appeared to be that tranquil……

Just that a sound of dog barking was heard suddenly, , with its shi+ny fur, running over at a fast speed, Xiao Hui riding on its back, clutching tightly onto the fur on Da Huang’s neck to support itself, at the sa very excited

Ten years ago, after Zhang Xiao Fan went to TongTian Peak from here, he had never came back Initially, these two animals became depressed, especially Xiao Hui, as usually active wastoo did not have it easy, itif it was because he loved the food that Zhang Xiao Fan cooked, during that period of ti Xiao Fan to cook, placed out food for the and Xiao Hui’s howls and roars and after they had their meals, wouldvery unsatisfied Poor Du BiShu also became depressed for some time because of this

Just that time like water, leisurely passed, the radually fade Without knowing fro Bah it was so, in the deep nights whenever they were about to sleep, they always returned back to Zhang Xiao Fan’s roo

Although for so many years, this room had always been empty

”Si!”

Da Huang suddenly stopped in its track, the great inertia almost caused Xiao Hui to roll down frohtly and itbarked loudly, suddenly turned its head back but instead it opened its ue, to chase its own tail, its body turning round and round at the same spot

Xiao Hui sat securely at its back, grinned and loudly, [Zi zi] laughed, looking very excited and happy This boring ga but to theame

The faint dawn lights shone on their bodies, the Big Bamboo Valley reverberated with the two animals’ sounds, the hu seemed to be only for them

Far away, at the back of the hill that verdant ba brushed by the mountain breeze [Hua hua] leisurely reverberated, even wind that was blowing from that direction, also carried faint scent of the bamboo leaves and the smell of that bamboo forest

Suddenly!

Da Huang stopped chasing its own tail, Xiao Hui on its back also seemed to lift up its head at the same time, opened its mouth wide and looked towards that stretch of bamboo forest

Green Hill, green ba, like sea……

Rustle, rustle, rustle……

”Zi zi zi zi!” Xiao Hui suddenly shrieked, Da Huang’s reaction also seee, just that its voice was much softer and barked a few times but after a while, the two aniht of Da Huang and Da Huang is and swiftly ran towards that black bamboo forest at the back of the mountain

The familiar small path at the back of the mountain, maybe it was because nobody ca tiinal s as if it had natural intuitive, traversed through the forest, running faster and faster and very soon it had reached the front of that stretch of bamboo forest

Inside the verdant ba stopped outside the bamboo forest and softly called out [Wu wu] a few times, Xiao Hui jumped down from its back and squatted aside, looked at hi its hands to scratch its head, as if it had some hesitation

But after a while eventually Xiao Huiand took the lead to walk into the forest To say it actually walked also did not seeely did not climb up the baround, leap by leap sloent in, looking at Xiao Hui, it seemed to be careful but yet full of anticipation

Da Huang [Wu wu] called out twice and also started to stride out, following behind it and walked into this bamboo forest

Onein this peaceful baures soon disappeared

The rown bamboo leaves but froht, channeling into light beaers and shone down froround below

Xiao Hui and Da Huang sloalked along in the forest, walking alongunknowingly, they had reached a certain place in the deep of the ba which seeuely in theXiao Fan first ca hard to chop down the bamboos

Xiao Hui stopped its steps, squatted at the clearing and using its hands to scratch its head, looked around

In the deep and serene bamboo forest, everywhere was quiet

As if there was an unknown scent, lingering here

Causing heartbeat to slowly increase……

”Pu!” a light footstep sound, stepped into this deep forest silence

Xiao Hui and Da Huang both turned at the saure, behind a thick bamboo, slowly appeared

The baain but after a moment, suddenly there were sounds of cheers, Xiao Hui juht and dashed over, jumped into the mid-air and leaped into that person’s embrace!

It grabbed that person’s clothes tightly, laughing heartily loudly, without any care releasing all of its delight, [Zi zi zi zi] laughing ceaselessly

That person encircled his hands, the once cruel aura right now had disappeared, on his forehead a long ti Xiao Hui in his boso his head to take a look, a sed at the corner of hisagainst his body Da Huang’s head, s, have you been well?”

DaHuang naturally could not speak and only [Wu wu] softly called out, its tail ceaselessly wagging, using its head to rub against his palm

At the corner of his eyes, as if a place where nobody could see, indistinctly reflecting the lights, ”Only all of you, still treat me as before!”

He softly sighed and breathed in deeply, in this bamboo forest, the once missed familiar smell

”Hua hua!”

Suddenly, again a flurry of footsteps sounds, it was instead Wild Dog Taoist who scuttled out fro torn in a few places by brauessed he had lost his way

Wild Dog Taoist’s entire face looked jinxed, he looked at the past Zhang Xiao Fan, the current Ghost Li and grumbled, ”Hey, brat, are you mad, if you want to die also do not have to do this! Here is Qing Yun Sect, what if someone finds out, even if we have ten lives ill also surely be dead!”

Suddenly, Da Huang, as extremely docile towards Ghost Li just only, turned its head, the furs on its neck were all bristling and it bared its teeth, showing its obvious extre howled and actually pounced over

Wild Dog Taoist was shocked but looking at this al over, his heart first thurab hold of his own fang ical weapon

Unexpectedly at this moment Ghost Li as in front, indifferently said, ”If you dare use , I will chop off all of your hands and legs And then throw it in front of that Observed Silence Hall at the foot of the mountain”

Wild Dog was stunned, he angrily said, ”What did you say…”

But he had not finished his words when Da Huang had already pounced over, thewas distracted he was i I shouts were heard incessantly, hu and in co both rolled to the back of a braures could not be seen but angry cries could be heard at times

”Aiya! da, you still bite…hey, brat, you this bastard, still not calling this dog to let go, no, let go, ah…dah! quickly let go, don’t bite anymore…ah ah ah……”

Ghost Li turned a deaf ear to Wild Dog’s miserable cries, turned his head to look at Xiao Hui in his boso carefully, after not seen for ten years, Xiao Hui see it in his embrace also seemed to be heavier by quite a lot, even that scar in-between its eyes also seemed to have expanded much

And Xiao Hui, after the initial excite and like in the past, climbed on to his shoulder and habitually stretched out its hand to play with his hair

Ghost Li quietly stood there and sloalked outside, till the fringe of the baazed out far The place that was in front of the mountain was covered by the clouds, it was once his warmest home

Lost in his thoughts, gazing deeply

Ghost Li smiled, stretched out his hand and patted its head

After a short while, Wild Dog Taoist staggered out froain ripped in several more places and even a fewface, as for the wounds on his legs, indistinctly it could be seen

Right now he saw Da Huang lying beside Ghost Li, he felt a bit afraid and actually did not dare to go over, standing far away he angrily scolded, ”da you, sooner or later one day I will butcher you!”

Da Huang suddenly turned its head over, dashed towards Wild Dog Taoist and howled, Wild Dog was scared out of his wits and i looked to be scaring him only and did not chase over, it instead turned its head Wild Dog was then relieved but no ain

Looking down at the foot of the ht had already quietly landed, covering this stretch of green olden cloth

Ghost Li closed his eyes and breathed deeply

Da Huang see, stood up and looked at Ghost Li, Ghost Li patted Da Huang’s head, s strange green light appeared, it was indeed that ”Firestick”, supporting his body, straight up to the sky

Wild Dog was dumbfounded and complained, ”Brat, where do you think this is! Has to be that arrogant even when leaving……”
