Brilliant thorn

Fu Shaoyu and Xiao Jue led the way. The cave became more and more rugged and narrow, and the slope was upward. Some sections had to bend over and climb up one by one to pass through.

The air was getting hotter and hotter, and with the scorching torches, several people soon drenched their clothes with sweat.

"Brother Fu, how long do we have to go?"

Yan Feishuang stepped on Shi Yi's shoulder and climbed up a narrow bend with hands and feet. Her delicate face was stained, but it did not hinder the agility and beauty in her eyes.

"What if there is still a dead end at the end of the line?"

"Naturally, I can only turn back, uh... I'm stuck."

Shi Yi was last in the row, and his broad shoulders were stuck in the narrow bend. He wanted to retreat and climb up again at a different angle, but he couldn't use his strength, so he could only get stuck here and couldn't go up and down.

"How about I kick you?"

Yan Feishuang bowed her waist, and stretched out her foot tentatively to step on Shi Yi's shoulder, but she couldn't stand still, and stepped on the top of his head, almost breaking her cousin's neck.

After Xiao Jue watched their brother and sister struggle several times with cold eyes, the place was too oppressive and he didn't want to stay any longer, so he felt "sympathy".

"Leave sideways." Xiao Jue patted Yan Feishuang's shoulder, and he himself stood sideways. Because the cave was too narrow, his chest could not help but brush against the girl's eyes.

Two blushes rose on Yan Feishuang's cheeks, she quickly closed her eyes, and retreated, wishing she could embed herself into the mountain wall.

Xiao Jue supported the wall with one hand, and grabbed the back of Shi Yi's neck with the other, only heard a few "stabs" of the cloth being frayed, and Shi Yi was forcibly pulled up.

There was a burning pain on both sides of the shoulders, and his cheeks were burning like a fire.

Shi Yi described himself as embarrassed, he was a bit afraid to look directly into Xiao Jue's eyes.

"Many, thank you, Young Master Xiao."

Xiao Jue didn't respond, turned around and bent over to continue walking.

Seeing that his long hair was sticking to his face and chest due to sweat, Fu Shaoyu stopped and untied his wristband and handed it over when he walked to a spacious place: "Tie up your hair."

Xiao Jue looked at him indifferently, reached out and took the wristband, put it in his mouth and bit a corner, then tied up all his hair behind his head, the cloth strip on his left eye was a bit skewed because of this, Fu Shaoyu stepped forward in time to help him Hold it down.

The two stood opposite each other, standing very close, Xiao Jue raised his eyes to look at him, Fu Shaoyu did not avoid his gaze, the fire light danced in each other's pupils, like the product of the brushing of sight.

While looking at each other, Xiao Jue slowly tied Mo's hair with a wristband, and then he rolled his eyes and said, "It's done."

Fu Shaoyu took a deep look at him, adjusted the cloth strips covering his eyes, said "be careful in the future", then let go of his hands and continued to lead the way.Xiao Jue put one hand on the soft sword in his waist, staring at the figure closely.

He didn't understand Fu Shaoyu's repeated overtures, and he didn't want to understand.

He is a murderous evil spirit, ruthless to the bone, cold and thin, with blood staining his makeup.

"Jue'er, you have to learn to laugh and disguise yourself as a beautiful and harmless murder sword." Cui Yushu once told him with a smile, "The more emotional you smile, the more shocked the target's eyes will be when the head falls, so that the murderer will be able to kill people." Happier. When someone dies for your smile one day, you're at the top of your game."

Cui Yushu's creepy and old smiling face couldn't get out of his mind, Xiao Jue tightened his sword hand.

After turning a narrow bend ahead, Fu Shaoyu turned his head suddenly: "Look."

The moment his eyes met, Xiao Jue felt a little guilty, his eyes turned over Fu Shaoyu's shoulder and looked forward, his eyebrows frowned, and Yan Feishuang behind him tiptoed and exclaimed: "There really is! Cousin Look!"

Shi Yi wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and by the light of the fire, he found that the vision in front of him suddenly became wider. When he got close, he finally didn't have to bend his back. He found that this place was similar to the entrance of a dark palace, and there was a carved dragon stone gate embedded in the mountain wall.

"There must be a mechanism, I'll look for it!"

Yan Feishuang was only sixteen or seventeen years old, she didn't come here to find the sword manual, she was just playful, and when she heard that her cousin was coming to Shuzhong, she left a letter and sneaked out of the house.

Shi Yi was afraid that she wouldn't know the depth and touch the hidden mechanism by mistake, so he hurriedly followed her to take care of her.

Xiao Jue walked up to the stone gate with his sword in hand, and carefully traced the carving on the gate with his slender fingertips, almost certain that it was Cui Yushu's handwriting.That man loves stone carvings, and he especially likes carving dragons and phoenixes.

"Did you find anything?" Fu Shaoyu stood beside him holding the torch, the firelight cast on the stone gate, and the dragon's eyes glowed red, as if alive.

He brought the torch closer, and found that the dragon's eyes were engraved with fine rubies, and when he tried to feel for the mechanism, his wrist was caught.

He tilted his head to look at Xiao Jue, his eyes full of puzzlement.

Xiao Jue seemed to be stunned for a moment, then immediately shook off his hand, and said coldly: "If you want to keep your claws, don't touch them randomly."

Fu Shaoyu watched his eyes suddenly become dark, but Xiao Jue ignored it and touched the scales on the back of the dragon's neck.

"Jueer, let me ask you, what is the most difficult thing about carving a dragon?" Cui Yushu once asked him with a carving knife in his hand.

At that time, he answered the eyes, but Cui Yushu directly picked up the whip and threw it on his back, and said to him with a smile, "It's Nilin."

"Dragon has reverse scales, and the pain is unbearable to touch. Anyone who offends the dragon will kill him. People also have reverse scales, which can be used as killers. You should pull them out with your own hands. Don't let anyone or anything become your painful feet. Only by refining yourself into a walking corpse with no heart or desire will you be able to accomplish anything."

Xiao Jue felt a barb, and he pulled out Fu Shaoyu's sword.

The moonlight came out of the sheath, and a bright white sword light suddenly appeared in the dim cave. Xiao Jue turned his wrist, and the sword shadow was chaotic. He only heard a "boom", and a gap suddenly opened in the stone door, and slowly opened to both sides.

"Huh? How did it open?"

Yan Feishuang trotted over when he heard the sound, and looked behind the gap in the stone gate that was getting wider and wider.

"Coincidentally."

Xiao Jue didn't want to say much, when he backhanded Yuehua into the sheath, he met Fu Shaoyu's eyes for a moment, Cui Yushu's words began to haunt his mind again.

He smiled and rolled his eyes: "Please, brother Shaoyu."

The stone door was completely opened, and the dull air inside rushed out, and the torch in Fu Shaoyu's hand was extinguished.

The cave was completely dark for a moment, just as Fu Shaoyu was about to take out the fire pocket, suddenly there was a gust of palm wind from behind, he wanted to hide before it was too late, he staggered and fell into the stone gate.

"Whizzing--"

The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air came from all directions, Fu Shaoyu rolled twice on the spot, holding the sword and the sheath in his left and right hands, distinguishing the direction by ear, and knocked down the arrows one by one in the darkness.

"Brother Fu!"

Yan Feishuang called out urgently, and flew to help, but Shi Yi hugged him by the waist and pressed him against the door, "Just wait here."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Yi drew his sword out of its sheath and jumped into the stone gate to help Fu Shaoyu.

Hearing the sound of swords and hidden weapons clashing inside, Xiao Jue quietly drew out the frost.

He is now only two steps away from Yan Feishuang, and this girl is unsuspecting, taking her head is just a matter of flicking the wrist.

After she died, Shi Yi would definitely be in chaos. He would kill Shi Yi first and then face Fu Shaoyu. The odds of winning... are still very small.

While thinking about it, the stone gate suddenly became quiet, and Yan Feishuang called out urgently: "Cousin? Brother Fu? Are you all okay?"

"It's okay," Shi Yi replied, "Fei Shuang, bring the fire stick in."

"Oh...fire stick..." When Yan Feishuang was about to grope on the ground, her shoulders were held, and a faint fragrance lingered on the tip of her nose again as the man approached. Her cheeks were flushed, and she said doubtfully: " Mr. Xiao?"

"Here I am, let's go."

Xiao Jue moved his palm down, took Yan Feishuang's cuff, and led her into the stone gate.

A spark of fire danced in Fu Shaoyu's palm, Xiao Jue stepped forward calmly, tilted the fire stick close to the man's palm, the tongue of flame jumped up instantly, and almost burned a strand of hair on Fu Shaoyu's cheek.

Xiao Jue stuffed the torch back into his hand, and said quietly: "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

Fu Shaoyu grabbed that part of the wrist with his backhand, trying to crush it with so much strength, his eyes were so dark that it was frightening, but in the end he didn't say anything, just handed the fire stick back to Shi Yi: "Be careful! .”

Shi Yi took it, looked around the empty hall with Yan Feishuang, and said, "Brother Fu, there is a secret passage here."

"Well, let's go, Sister Shuang is in the middle, don't rush." ​​Fu Shaoyu instructed, turned his head to look at Xiao Jue, and added, "Be careful of hidden weapons."

"Brother Fu, don't worry. Although I seldom travel in the rivers and lakes, I am not stupid. Cousin will naturally walk in front to protect me." Yan Feishuang is innocent and lively, and he still doesn't forget to joke at this time.

Shi Yi smiled at her helplessly, "Don't be distracted, just follow closely."

The two of them walked in front, Xiao Jue was about to follow, but was grabbed by Fu Shaoyu, and his back hit the stone wall hard, causing his whip wounds to ooze blood again.

The jaw was tightly clamped by a big hand, and he was forced to raise his head to look into a pair of dangerous wolf-like eyes.

"You have repeatedly violated the ban, and you are really not good." Fu Shaoyu leaned over and pressed against his ear, and lowered his voice extremely low, "If there is another time, I will definitely not indulge you again."

Xiao Jue laughed, he held Fu Shaoyu's wrist, his nails were almost embedded in the other's skin.

Fu Shaoyu frowned slightly, still maintaining such a close posture, looking sideways at him.

Xiao Jue turned his head, there was even only a slight difference between the tips of their noses, their breaths were mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish each other.

"Why do you indulge me?" Xiao Jue tightened his five fingers, leaving five crescent-shaped bloodstains on Fu Shaoyu's wrist, "What relationship do I have with you, you want to indulge me? What benevolent man wants to let me go again and again?"

Fu Shaoyu didn't answer, but let go of the force in his hands, no longer restraining Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue refused to let go, his five fingers turned into claws, wishing he could crush the blood vessels in his wrist.

In the dark, he smiled like a charming ghost: "Since you like playing the role of a saint, how about letting me wipe your neck obediently? Brother Shaoyu."

Fu Shaoyu looked at him for a moment, then sighed suddenly.

In the darkness, he let him pierce the skin, and raised his hand to press Xiao Jue's eyes: "Fu is not a sage. As for why he indulged you, and what relationship he has with you, one day, you will understand."

Xiao Jue was startled, the hand covering his eyes was withdrawn, and the man's breath was also moved away.

Suddenly there was a booming sound not far away, and the ground seemed to shake twice, Shi Yi and Yan Feishuang exclaimed one after another, and a huge boulder fell down on the originally open door, completely blocking the exit .

Fu Shaoyu hurried over to check the situation, while Xiao Jue just leaned against the mountain wall in a daze, staring at the tall and straight figure, somewhat absent-minded.

Did they... have an intersection before?
