The eternal moonlight.

Eternal love, eternal hatred.

The wind is coming and going, and the snow is vast.

Neither the moon nor the sky can be seen here.

In other places, Yexue seemed to be cut open by a sword between the sky and the earth, black and white were clearly distinguished.

But here the world blends together, black and white mixed like a storyteller's draft.

The group of people has reached the foot of Chongyun Mountain, and they are walking towards the depths that are neither black nor white.

To the boundless sky.

It was only half a day's journey, and Qiu Lingfu had already added several layers of clothes.

Xiao Shiliu took a deep breath and felt refreshed: "The wind in Huai'an is too soft, but you can't see such a beautiful scenery. Young Master Qiu has to take a good look."

The scenery is indeed a good scenery, vast, boundless and magnificent.

But Qiu Lingfu's eyes were only looking forward.

Ah Po's back is clearly in front, not far away, his steps are steady and fast, he can't catch up no matter what.

The back was completely covered by heavy snow, and if it could never catch up, it would disappear and float away.

Qiu Lingfu ran forward a few steps, and the fish in the south couldn't move an inch in the heavy snow: "Ah Po!"

His shouts were hoarse, but the whistling wind and snow were even hoarse, drowning out his voice at all.

He ran forward with one deep foot and one shallow foot: "Ah Po! Ah Po!"

People who are pampered in the sunny weather will run before they learn to walk in the wind and snow, and tripping is only a matter of a few steps.

Pricking his hands into the cold snow that hadn't melted all year round, the pain was so painful that Qiu Lingfu shivered all over and shrank his hands.

A pair of worn-out shoes appeared in front of him, and he could imagine how cold it would be to wear them.But then, a pair of warm hands lifted him up.

Qiu Lingfu firmly grasped those hands, and then firmly approached the man's chest.

He raised his head and said: "I didn't have time to save him, and I don't want to save him. If you want to reveal to them now, I have countless ways to ensure that you will not have a good journey. The matter between Bai's family and my mother will be dealt with Make it clear, you can kill or cut whatever you want."

He spoke harshly, wishing that every sentence had a sword edge, as sharp as the wind and snow here.

But his eyes are low and smooth, low and smooth like flowers and plants that have been destroyed by sharp wind and snow.

Ah Po pulled him up, took a breath of hot air in his hand, rubbed his hand vigorously, and said with a smile: "Why do you pretend to threaten me? You know that I won't reveal it, and you know that I trust you, so you dare to say it .”

Qiu Lingfu was stunned, and said again: "I just discovered that if this is Duan Jingzhe's trick to provoke us to cooperate, whether I'm honest or not, he can succeed."

Ah Po asked: "Then did he succeed?"

I don't know if I was afraid that some people behind me would hear it, or if I wanted to speak softly, the words that came out of my mouth seemed to be panting in my ears, but the emotional panting made Qiu Lingfu's body tremble, and the soft voice Whispering, but it made his heart tremble.

This trick is not clever, it is a trick that has been used since ancient times - to let people who shouldn't die die in front of people who shouldn't kill.

But since ancient times, it has had miraculous effects on those who love love.

But Po is smart enough.

Smart people are used to putting themselves on the outside and looking at things from a higher perspective.It's like hiding in a tree, a beam, or a roof, watching what's going on below.

"He succeeded because he poisoned you. From now on, your mother has a handle in his hands, and we should quickly pull out this handle. Don't you just think about me, but don't think about it?"

Apo remembered that night.A moonlit night.

Hua Yuye's black leaves and white flowers were layered on top of each other, and Qiu Lingfu's hands were dripping with blood, intending to keep Qiu Xinsu.

Qiu Lingfu's face was covered by the huge rose shadow, but as long as he looked into those eyes, anyone could see the pitifulness in them.

Qiu Lingfu's expression now is very similar to that at that time.

This injury is not healed, which runs counter to this person's selfish temperament, but there is one reason among many, which A'Po can see clearly.

——In order to please people, so that they can be deceived so that they will never leave.

But the man himself didn't know it.

At this time, A'po's eyes are full of bright and bright, but he doesn't know it.

But at the end, Mingmei smiled, but didn't say anything.

Qiu Lingfu looked at Ah Po in a daze, he smiled, and he laughed too.

But the corner of his mouth was only raised for a moment, and he held back again, and proudly retorted: "I am poisonous, and I can find a way to cure it, it's better than being provocative and arrested, and falling directly into the hands of Jing Zhe. Where is it?" thinking of you!"

What he confessed to himself last night seemed to be completely forgotten.But this is the ability that Qiu Ling gave to this person, even if it is sophistry, it still makes sense.

Ah Po said: "Then why are you chasing me so hard?"

Qiu Lingfu said: "Why are you hiding so well?"

Ah Po looked back, the eyes of the people behind him were not shy, they all looked here blatantly, but because of Ah Po, they didn't really get close.

Ah Po smiled and said: "This journey is not the time to discuss this matter in detail. I really didn't expect you to confess to me at this time... Let you stop talking, you have to catch up and talk about it."

Qiu Lingfu said: "Whenever I want to confess, I will confess."

Ah Po smiled and said: "You are afraid, you can't wait."

Qiu Lingfu raised his eyebrows: "What am I afraid of? Why can't I wait?"

Ah Po shook his head: "You don't understand even if you tell me."

Qiu Lingfu found it funny: "I don't know anything about me."

Ah Po said: "It's about yourself, you don't understand."

You pushed me like teasing a cat, Qiu Lingfu didn't intend to continue to follow his tricks, so he shut his mouth wisely.

The two were silent for a while.

The wind and snow were howling, and the people behind were far behind, as if there were only two people in the world.

Looking up at this place, the sky and the earth are boundless. If there is no human voice, people will inevitably think of the vastness of the sky and the earth, of the boundless time, of life, and of death.

Both of them felt that it was too clean.

Ah Po finally asked: "Where is the corpse?"

Qiu Lingfu said: "Fall off the cliff."

Apo didn't speak any more.

But Qiu Lingfu said to himself: "You wanted to say that you would give him a good burial, but you also thought that the poison in my body was caused by him, so you didn't say anything."

Apo smiled lightly, but still didn't answer.

Qiu Lingfu said: "I don't sympathize with him, because I am responsible for my own choice."

After thinking for a while, he glanced at Ah Po again and said, "But I don't hate him, because he has already taken responsibility for his choice, and I'm not dead yet."

It's so cold here that even my heart can calm down.Even Qiu Lingfu, who is so unpredictable and fond of holding grudges, can calm down.

Ah Po said: "But I didn't take responsibility for my choice, don't you hate me?"

Qiu Lingfu asked, "What choice?"

Ah Po said: "You didn't have the foresight to kill Guiren before going up the mountain."

Qiu Lingfu said: "If you kill him, you will regret what he didn't do at that time. If you don't kill him, you will regret what he did in the end. No matter what choice you make, you will regret it. You have to be responsible if you don't want to .”

Ah Po was silent for a while, then smiled again: "You are right, what I want to do now is to cure your poison."

Qiu Lingfu asked: "Why don't you care about your revenge?"

Ah Po smiled and said, "Then why don't you care about your poison?"

Qiu Lingfu said, "What is your revenge plan?"

Ah Po didn't answer but instead asked, "What is the reason why you don't care about your own life and death?"

After asking endlessly like this, Qiu Lingfu stubbornly said, "I don't know how to heal, so how should I care?"

Ah Po also imitated him: "I don't have a weapon, how can I take revenge?"

Qiu Lingfu stared at him: "Because you don't want revenge yet."

Ah Po smiled and said: "Because you don't want to cure the poison yet."

The two looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

But the joyful atmosphere didn't last long. Qiu Lingfu stepped forward, and suddenly jumped forward, like a fox on alert to run for his life.

But under the heavy snow, how could the foxes in the south escape the hunt of hunters in the snow.

The hunter caught the prey by the nape of the neck, but he hooked Qiu Lingfu's belt.

Qiu Lingfu felt something was wrong, so he had to stop, and looked back: "Shameless!"

Ah Po smiled and tugged on the belt again: "It's your turn to say I'm shameless."

Qiu Lingfu caressed Ah Po's hand, Ah Po's sharp eyes saw the hidden weapon in his hand, and quickly let go.

With poison in Qiu Lingfu's eyes, he wrapped himself tightly.

Ah Po said: "You really don't want to cure the poison?"

Qiu Lingfu said perfunctorily, "How to treat it?"

Ah Po smiled and said: "I know, you are thinking that since you have been poisoned, then wait for Qiu Xinsu to come to you. Seeing Qiu Xinsu and knowing the ins and outs is better than doing things passively now. Because you don't care about this at all. What is behind the matter, I just want Qiu Xinsu to be safe and sound."

Qiu Lingfu glared at him: "What about you? You don't know who to seek revenge at all, do you?"

This snow mountain is like a huge cage, the closer you get to this snow mountain, the more silent Ah Po becomes, and the colder his eyes become.

This was originally home, the place where he was born, and a place where he could settle down and rest even if he was wandering around the world as a prodigal son.

But now, this family makes him confused and exhausted, and letting him be a prodigal son can make him feel at ease.

There is too much snow here and the night is too cold.

Xiao Shiliu followed behind him not too far away, the big knife clanging on the ground, and a good sharp knife was used as a crutch.

Apo fell silent again.He also knew that there was too much silence around Qiu Lingfu today.

But now that there are several people in the group, he can only be silent if he is by Qiu Lingfu's side.

Qiu Lingfu opened his mouth, but still didn't speak, just looked down at the soft sword on his waist.

Clang!

He drew out the soft sword, Shuo Shuo's cold light reflected on his face.

In just an instant, he felt the guarded eyes behind him.Facing those gazes, Qiu Lingfu just twitched the corners of his mouth contemptuously, and raised his eyes to look at Ah Po, and Ah Po's expression was more relaxed than before.

Only outsiders are worried about the sword test between the two.

Qiu Lingfu lifted the soft sword upside down, and the plain hilt stood in front of the two of them.

Generally, the sharper a good sword is, the more unpretentious it is.

That's why Ah Po's rusty dagger tied with tassels made people sneer at it.

Qiu Lingfu said: "This sword is called Sharp Blade, you know it."

He introduced it with a proud face, as if showing off his ingenuity on weekdays.As the saying goes, the more you lack something, the more you have to show it off, but Qiu Lingfu is not, he has to show off everything he lacks.

But Qiu Lingfu didn't come to show off his sharp blade at this time, he wanted to show off something that he had never shown off in front of another person.

Qiu Lingfu moved his hand at the end of the hilt, and only heard a "click", and pulled out a short dagger that was only one palm long from the end of the hilt.

The dagger stood between the two of them, Ah Po looked over from this side, and saw that the knife's face was thick and smooth, reflecting half of his own face.He saw his own eyes, brightened by the dagger.

The slightly stunned half of his face on the face of the knife merged with the half of Qiu Lingfu's smiling face beside the knife.

Qiu Lingfu said: "This dagger is called Chaos Light. It is made by the same swordsmith as the sharp blade. One is short, the other is long, and the other is tough. Anyone who has seen the sharp blade knows that this sharp blade is in my hand, but they don't know that the chaotic light It's in my hands too."

The chaotic light of the knife is chaotic, as if it has never been excavated, but it seems that the clank sound can be heard on the surface of the Xueqiluo knife, which is thick and ancient.

This dagger is not suitable for sharp-edged people, but more suitable for those who roam the world and are open to all rivers.

Qiu Lingfu took the chaotic light and turned it in his hand: "Chuan Chuan hid it in the sharp blade in case I needed it. But I don't like people getting close to me. Before they get close to me, I will kill him. So it was never used."

He waved the dagger in front of Ah Po: "Want?"

Seeing him smile, Ah Po said foolishly: "Think."

He said this word, but didn't look at the dagger, only looked at Qiu Lingfu's amber eyes.

Qiu Lingfu put the knife in his sleeve: "I was going to give it to you, but now I regret it."

Ah Po was stunned, then smiled again: "Why do you regret it?"

Qiu Lingfu scolded: "Because you're a coward! Your brain has become stupid. Your master has let you go around for so many years. In the face of family hatred, you don't even know who to kill or not to kill."

Qiu Lingfu ran away after scolding.

This time he was fully prepared, his feet flew on the snow, lightly like clouds, like flowers and leaves floating on the water.

Ah Po went forward to catch him: "Give it to me!"

Qiu Lingfu runs fast, Qiu Xinsu's martial arts is about elegant footwork, and Qiu Lingfu was passed down from her, so he can point two or three feet away on the snow.And with the help of the soft sword to swipe on the ground, the whole person is like walking against the wind.

The bird walks slowly, but flies lightly.

Ah Po really wanted to snatch the dagger in his heart, how could he let him go, this time he finally raised his spirits and tried his best to catch up.

The snow is cold, and it stings when it hits the face, but Ah Po doesn't feel it, he only has that knife in his eyes, only that person.

But Qiu Lingfu could feel pain. What other people felt was painful, but it was ten times more painful for him.He raised his sleeves to cover the snow blowing in front of him, and Ah Po chased him up.

One person has no intention of running away, while the other intends to chase, and it only takes a moment to catch up.

The two ran far enough that the heavy snow behind them had already submerged their backs.

Ah Po hugged him tightly from behind, and leaned into his ear: "Who should I kill? Who should I not kill?"

Qiu Lingfu struggled: "You said it yourself..."

Ah Po said: "I have said so many things, how can I remember them? But I do remember what you said."

Qiu Lingfu turned his head abruptly, and the people behind him could not see clearly anymore, so he reassuredly said, "What did I say?"

Ah Po felt that Qiu Lingfu struggled too much, and said with a smile: "You said you liked Ah Po, so you want to give Ah Po your dagger."

Qiu Lingfu said, "I didn't say anything."

Ah Po kissed him twice on the side of his neck: "Oh? Could it be that I misremembered. Then what do you say you like Ah Po? I remember what you said in that cave, you said it many times, let I was so happy that I couldn't sleep for several days... Oh! I remember, you said you like to have sex with Apo..."

Qiu Lingfu violently pushed Ah Po down in the snow, and ran forward as if fleeing, Ah Po stretched out his hand to catch him, so he raised his hand vigorously, and swiped backward with the dagger.

Ah Po didn't care where the blade would go, he grabbed his hand and put it on his lips to kiss until he reached the fingertip holding the dagger tightly, then he used his tongue to pry the finger away.

Qiu Lingfu's cold hand seemed to have been scorched by a scorching fire. As soon as his hand softened, the handle of the knife was bitten by Ah Po.

Ah Po finally got what he wanted.

Ah Po grasped the dagger tightly and hugged Qiu Lingfu tightly: "It's mine now."

Qiu Lingfu said: "It's not yours, I lent it to you."

Ah Po smiled and said, "It's mine. If you want something, you can steal it or cheat, but I'll take it away. If I take it, it's mine."

Ah Po looked happy, and quickly took out a tassel from his bosom to tie it on—it was the original tassel, but it was bought with a few copper coins on the side of the road, but it was once tied with a rusty dagger given by Qiu Lingfu. Put it well in your arms.

Qiu Lingfu finally saw with his own eyes how he tied tassels on the dagger. He had a smile on his lips, and his eyes were so gentle.

There is a new wound on his bruised hand, which was left by the stone that blocked Granny Liu for him at noon today.He tied the tassel with his rough hands, with great care and seriousness.

Qiu Lingfu said: "Is this the dagger you want so much?"

Ah Po said: "Of course I want to."

Qiu Lingfu said, "Because you like me."

Apo smiled and said: "Because I want us to look more like a couple destined to be born in heaven. People who are born to be a couple want weapons that are a couple."

Qiu Lingfu asked, "Didn't it look different before?"

A Po shook his head: "It's not like, because you are obviously the most angry person, but you want to die. I should be the most angry person, but I want to be happy."

Qiu Lingfu said: "I didn't want to die, I just..."

A shout came from the thick snow curtain in the distance: "Ah Po! Where are you going?"

It was Granny Liu's voice.

The voice of such an elderly man is as thick and clear as that of a grown man, which shows that his martial arts have only increased over the years.

Maybe it's for the return to Baixue Ridge today.

Qiu Lingfu said: "Let's go, find a place to hide first."

But Ah Po held him back: "Just what?"

Qiu Lingfu asked knowingly, "What is just what?"

Ah Po said: "You haven't finished what you said just now. What is your specific plan?"

Qiu Lingfu went too far: "After I was acupunctured, you must have discussed the revenge plan, so what? You didn't tell me about your experiences over the years."

Ah Po said: "I will tell you."

Qiu Lingfu said: "But with them, we basically don't have a chance to talk properly. Why don't we leave them? I don't mind being accused of killing Guiren."

As long as Ah Po believes in himself, what does he mind?

Ah Po smiled and said: "You will soon know why you can't leave them."
