Huafa Luoyang

Xun Luo stayed with Ming Qiuyue at the inn by the city.

I heard from Ming Qiuyue that the fire cattail blooms only once in three years, after the plum blossoms are in full bloom, it must be a coincidence, otherwise no one will see it.

It turned out that Tianqing meant this, and he presumably got the news from Fang Qin.

Ming Qiufeng has been in charge of intelligence gathering and assassination in Jianghu for many years, and many secrets are not secrets to him.If Ming Qiuyue is really Ming Qiufeng's younger brother, then it's not unusual for him to know this.

The question is, what is Fang Qin's attitude towards the fire cattail.

Xun Luo thought to himself, this fire cattail grass is actually of little significance to him, but he can't let it fall into Song Qiao's hands, otherwise it will be a catastrophe in the martial arts.

He doesn't really care what will happen to the martial arts, but that person is also in the martial arts.

Although Zhuang Jiuyao always looks like he is ready to wander the world at any time, Xun Luo always feels that he has his own purpose.If what he wants to do has nothing to do with martial arts.

Then I can't ignore it.

In fact, even if he was going to die from poison, he hoped to be in a place far away from Zhuang Jiuyao, but he still had something on him that he hadn't entrusted to him.

Since he agreed to Wu Sanniang's booklet, he had to do it, and if he couldn't see the King of Shu alive, he still had to entrust it to Zhuang Jiuyao.There was also the brass key that he carried with him when he came out of the Yaowang Valley. Mei Ji, who had a close relationship with Zhuang Jiuyao, said that it was very useful.

And Uncle Wen said back then that Uncle was a member of the Shangzhen School, so that Shouyan might also be his junior sister.Therefore, although the demise of the Shangzhen sect was not important to him, he felt somewhat unbearable.

And, it's related to Tianmen, and it's also related to Tianluo's long-cherished wish.

In the past, I always felt that I was alone, and I would die when I died. Now that I am really close to death, I realize that there are still many things that I can't rush.Thinking about it this way, waiting has become the most important thing to do now.

When I was in Tianmen when I was young, I always felt that the days were endless. Later, when I was with Zhuang Jiuyao, I was always amazed by the speed of time. Now I feel that the winter is long, but looking back, it is actually only a moment.

In the 27th year of Tianying, this year of panic has finally come to an end.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the middle ten days of the twelfth lunar month, and several people died quietly in Yueyang City.The forces in the martial arts world and the imperial court stood on the same front this time, and they all suppressed the matter quietly, but the nets they set up never had any effect.

The plum blossoms were in bud, and they were already in bloom. Xun Luo suddenly thought of Jinling.

The air in the south of the Yangtze River is warm, and it is already a scene of plum blossoms in full bloom.He still remembered that pair of chess pieces, and after using two of them to save Wu Sanniang, they fell into the inn.

Although he lived with Ming Qiuyue, Xun Luo rarely appeared in front of people.Ming Qiuyue still didn't know what he wanted to do, and when the two of them talked, he always asked Xun Luo and answered. He couldn't help but suspect that if it wasn't because he saved him once, they would probably be treated as air.

After a long time, he felt that Xun Luo was such a kind of person, polite and polite, but in fact he was so indifferent that he would not have any connection with the people and things around him.

Like someone who shouldn't exist in this world.

On the morning of the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Ming Qiuyue knocked on Xun Luo's door: "Brother Xun, let's go to Dongting!"

After walking halfway to find Luo, he asked, "How did brother Ming know that the fire cattail grass is blooming?"

Ming Qiuyue said: "According to the calculation of heaven and earth, it is about three days before and after." Xun Luo didn't understand this, so he didn't continue to ask, Ming Qiuyue said again: "But I didn't calculate it."

Xun Luo looked up at him suddenly, but didn't speak.Seeing his gaze, Ming Qiuyue smiled sadly: "I'm innocent with her, she probably heard something from my brother, so she sent me the news. Maybe it's just because she's just afraid that I'm going to die."

"I don't really understand the relationship between a man and a woman." Xun Luo said, "But I hope you have a good heart, there should be no doubt. It has nothing to do with who she is now, what she is doing, or who she is by her side."

Ming Qiuyue was quite surprised, and said with a smile: "It seems that brother Xun also hides an unattainable beauty in his heart? Does brother Xun fall in love with her? But why are they not together?"

Xun Luo was silent for a while, Ming Qiuyue thought that he would not answer, but he nodded and said: "I love each other. It's just that I don't live long, so it's inconvenient to involve him, so we are not together."

"Not long to live?" Ming Qiuyue was startled, "Brother Xun?"

Xun Luo glanced at him and smiled.Ming Qiuyue was startled, and asked clearly: "Then did she really leave like this?"

"I forced him to leave." Xun Luo lowered his eyes, "He has a strong temper, and I guess he is still looking for a way to save me. I just thought, if I am not here, I will go when he is tired. , I will give up after a long time."

He was talking about what he thought of, and suddenly looked at Ming Qiuyue: "If I die in Sanxiang, I hope brother Ming can take my belongings..."

Ming Qiuyue interrupted him suddenly, with a serious look on her face: "Brother Xun lives well, if you have something, you must give it to her yourself."

Xun Luo froze for a moment, pursed his lips slightly, and finally nodded.

When the two arrived at a certain shore, it was sunset time, and there was a vast expanse that could accommodate the sky in front of them.Yunmeng in the old days, today's Dongting, the vast expanse of eight hundred miles of water, shimmering without place.

Xun Luo suddenly remembered the vastness of water and sky in the Liuhe formation that day.

Ming Qiuyue let out a breath of white air and sighed: "This trip is really worthwhile."

Xun Luo nodded, and the two continued walking around the shore of the lake. After sunset, they got a little further away from the lake and arrived at a small mountain.Sitting down on the leeward side, the two went to the hillside behind to find some dry firewood, and lit a fire at the edge of the forest.

The soil around the lake is wet and the flat land is vast, but it is rare to see tall trees and hills. This part of the lake narrows, and it seems that a first-class river has been separated, which just builds such a riverside hill.

Xun Luo took a closer look, and found that those trees were all Phoebe trees, with straight and thick trunks, but they had their own imposing manner.

He remembered that it seemed to be mentioned in the brochure that fire cattails mostly grow on the roots of nanmu, and they like moisture very much, so it should be nearby.

Ming Qiuyue also looked around with him, and took out the dry food on her body by the way: "So there really is such a place."

Sure enough, Xun Luo thought to himself, he didn't bump into this place by running around like a headless chicken.

"Let's go to find the firetail grass tomorrow, maybe we will meet that demon, you and I are just appetizers for him. If you are lucky, you can destroy the grass before he shows up. If you are not lucky..." Ming Qiuyue Said, "Is it scary to find brother?"

Xun Luo didn't answer, but asked instead: "Brother Ming, do you know who the monster you are talking about is?"

Ming Qiuyue nodded indifferently, and said in a cold tone, "Song Qiao, the head of the Shangzhen sect, but can he be called a human now? He was willing to be controlled by a knife and committed countless murders. How many years of precipitation did the real sect have, and how many people died on the road to become one of the four major sects? The body of Taoist Shouyin was not cold, and a big sect was destroyed in his hands. No wonder he raised such a An incompetent son turned out to be an incompetent himself."

He said with a taunting laugh: "If I am an old man of the real sect, I will really die with regret. I am still a Daoist, I think he is practicing the magic way."

Along the way, Xun Luo always thought that Ming Qiuyue was a kind-hearted person, and even felt that he was somewhat similar to Qi Yun, but he didn't expect him to be so sharp, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Thinking about his reason for following Song Qiao, it was not as simple as he said.

After Ming Qiuyue finished speaking, she felt that she was being too aggressive, so she changed her tone and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Xun, I couldn't control it."

Xun Luodao said "It doesn't matter", and thought about the past, he said: "Shangzhen Sect has indeed produced many people with integrity."

Ming Qiuyue nodded in the night, and said after a long while: "My brother and I are actually orphans. I heard that my mother gave birth to me with dystocia. A Taoist priest from Shangzhen sent us to adopt us. He dragged us and taught us Practicing kung fu taught us to read. Later, the old head of the Shangzhen sect went, and the sect was divided into two factions. He fought with Song Qiao, and Song Qiao became the head. My adoptive father entrusted my elder brother to the Qishan sect, and entrusted me to the I joined the Ping Ning faction, went to a hellish place alone, worked as a secret agent... and never came back."

Shangzhen school, hellish place, meticulous work?Xun Luo's heart was shocked when he heard the words, could it be that it was a coincidence that the book could not be written?

How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

"His ability is not comparable to that of my late father." Ming Qiuyue was still sighing, "There is no doubt about it."

Even in the darkness, he felt that there was something wrong with Xun Luo, thinking that he was not in touch with martial arts affairs, so he felt that he was abrupt, so he called out: "Brother Xun?"

Xun Luo responded, and he smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can't help but think of my late father. I forgot that Brother Xun is not from the martial arts world. I've said too much."

After a while, Xun Luo replied: "No, I'm willing to listen. I don't know what kind of person Ling Xianzun is? Where does your family live? What is Ling Xianzun's name taboo?"

Ming Qiuyue was really surprised when she heard this, and asked: "Brother Xun knew your late father?"

"No, I don't know him." Xun Luo said softly, "I think Ling Xian's chivalry is really admirable, and it reminds me of the elders in my family."

"So that's how it is." Ming Qiuyue smiled, "my late father grew up, so it goes without saying that Yushu is facing the wind. He is fair-looking, but his martial arts are extremely high. He is upright, upright, and very calm. We lived in Luoyang since we were young. , I heard that my grandmother was the daughter of the Zhuang family in Luoyang, and she married the Ming family, a small family in the same city, so she had my late father."

Xun Luo was stunned, he really didn't expect that little coincidence, he just had some doubts, it turned out to be the case.He was almost about to ask if the place where his adoptive father went was the Gate of Heaven.

Ming Changzhi, he still didn't ask anything in the end, just pondered and chewed silently, Xindao was really a good name.

Sure enough, it is a good name worthy of that person and those eyes.

He hid his thoughts and asked, "Brother Ming, do you have any other brothers and sisters?"

Ming Qiuyue shook her head sadly: "My late father is alone, my brother and I are probably his only concerns."

Xun Luo said, the wind blew from the lake, bringing moisture with it.There was a sudden heat under his nose, and a burst of dizziness hit him. He endured it for a while, raised his hand to touch the warm blood, and quietly covered it with his sleeve to wipe it off.

Fortunately, Ming Qiuyue was at his upper air outlet, so he didn't smell anything.

Then the hatchback was silent, and the two of them waited for the unknown sunrise with the cold wind and the faint light of the fire beside the Dongting.

According to Ming Qiuyue, the fire cattail grows under the trees by the water in the mountains, and it will only appear at sunset.So the two centered on the small hill and started looking for it.

Finally found a cave in the afternoon.

The cave was created extremely ingeniously. It was shaped like a half-upside down large bowl, with the bottom extending to the edge of the lake and submerged in the water.There is a big opening on the top of the cave, and several tall nanmu trees are rooted in the dark cave, but the crowns of the trees rush straight out of the top of the cave, welcoming the sun and rain with a high-spirited attitude.

Fumbling into the cave from the edge of the lake, seeing the sunlight shining in from the top of the cave, Xun Luo knew that it must be here without a doubt.

The hole is very spacious in the middle, about the size of a Cuju field, and the end facing the lake extends into the darkness, and I don't know how far it goes.

Ming Qiuyue went to a place where she couldn't see anything, picked up a stone on the ground and threw it in, but there was no echo for a long time.

Then he withdrew again, looked around the cave together with Xun Luo back and forth, even the cliff wall, they were all ordinary plants, and he didn't see any signs of blooming .Can't help but wonder: "Did we find the wrong one?"

Xun Luo shook his head, actually he didn't know why he was so sure, he said firmly: "It must be here."

Ming Qiuyue heard that his tone was unquestionable, so she nodded, and the two of them leaned against the cliff at the entrance of the cave, ate some dry food, and began to wait for the sunset.

The sunlight still shines in from the top of the cave, and the light slowly climbs over the cliff, the boundary between brightness and ignorance is constantly moving, and from time to time, something that was not seen clearly appears in the light, and then quickly disappears into the darkness.

Xun Luo stared straight at the line separating yin and yang, Ming Qiu Yueben had been looking around, seeing his serious expression, he also raised his head to look at the other side, seeing the scenes between the light and shadow, he found it very interesting.

After watching for a while, the light seemed to be about to abandon the cave.Xun Luo frowned, thinking that maybe he was wrong, but at the next moment, he clearly saw that the sunlight illuminated the root of a nanmu tree at the very edge before leaving the hole.

His eyes lit up suddenly, and Ming Qiuyue obviously noticed it too, and shouted excitedly: "Brother Xun!"

The author has something to say:

Ah, Xun Luozhen, it's very straightforward to admit it with your back to others.

There are too many things during this time, and I hope that the day will not be interrupted.
