[Thunderbolt Tobacco City] Ren Pingsheng, Nine Layers of Smoke and Snow

The author has something to say: [Note 1] The saying "Longzhang Fenghan" uses the allusion of "Confucius asked about rites to Laozi". Confucius has always been regarded as a phoenix. Laozi is the dragon appointed by Confucius.Compared with the great master and the fifth aunt, he pretended to say this.

[Note 2] From "The Analects of Confucius · Bayi Dance in Court"

[Note 3] From "The Analects of Confucius": "The Master said: The way is not good, take a boat to float in the sea, and those who follow me will have their own reasons!"

Yes, I'm sorry,,, Russia,,, Russia exploded again,,,,,,

That's right, I replaced the original dried persimmons with apples! ! ! !I am proud! ! !

Du Wuyu suddenly remembered what he said when Guling Shiyan sent him back to Fengdao after he recovered from his injury.

That day when they landed on the isolated island, the sound of the sky was howling, and there was a huge wave of smoke and water blowing from the western sea, like a strange peak five feet away from the sky. The waters were dyed red and purple.

The passing smoke of the ancient mausoleum seems to have a feeling, and sighed in the light: "The cloud world is misty, the wind island is dead, and the ice building is wild. Although the smoke capital has four seasons, it is always full of smoke and clouds, and the sun is not visible. It is called the 'Four Wonders'. In fact, it is nothing more than the most extreme and harsh environment around. Although far away from the world, there is no increase in happiness, sorrow and troubles, and it also bears the responsibility of maintaining the balance of the four seasons for those ungrateful beings. What do you think? Do you think it's fair?"

At that time, he had just escaped from the greatest catastrophe in his life, and his mood was unstable and his thoughts were chaotic. However, this question was too heavy and sensitive. Of course, the most important thing is to respect God and know one's fate."

The great master showed a faint smile: "Wu Yu is always so serious, now is not Xiaoxiao's meeting in the evening rain, you and I are chatting, there is no need to talk about these empty words.

"With human nature, would you really like this kind of place? ——Of course not. So the Four Wonders can only stay outside the misery forever."

The great master always speaks so directly, but this time he vaguely said what was on his mind.Isn't it because he has been stationed in the dead all year round and feels that he has nowhere to go in the world, that he fell into that kind of desperate frenzy?But the kind of luck that made him feel redeemed was also like the wind howling on the island of wind, sweeping in and then retreating quickly. Apart from taking away all his enthusiasm, there was nothing left, and it gave him what he wanted. The saved world has planted a great disaster.The words of Guling Shiyan just comforted him to some extent, letting him know that even if he is the peak of the Four Wonders, he cannot escape the confusion that he would have as a human being.

"Then what does Gu Ling think is the significance of us being born here?"

"Just now Wuyou said 'Respect the sky and know your destiny', did it come from your heart, or did you copy the teachings of your sages?"

"The way of heaven is constant, of course we must respect and obey it from the bottom of our hearts."

Gu Ling’s dying smile is hidden in the endless evening photos: “Is it because the law of heaven is eternal and can be used as a lesson for the world, or because people are weak and unable to intervene, so they must compromise?”

He didn't remember his own answer at that time, that part of the conversation that was treated as an ordinary friend, and now he finally tasted the taste.

It turns out that you have always chosen the opposite of the Four Wonders.

In the long past, Guling Shiyan always said that he was the only one in the Four Territories who could "learn from friends".Perhaps the great master has long forgotten, but during those self-enclosed days, this sentence became the only fulcrum he could rely on-there must always be a bosom friend who understands himself in this world.But now it seems that the two of them have never really stood side by side.

Within the four realms, the Xuanming family possessed the courage endowed by the vast snowy region, and Chao Tianjiao was exhausted because of the high terrain. This mediocre person is the last obstacle on this road.

In fact, he has already noticed in his heart that the gap between the great master and Yijian Fenghui is vast, even if they had a little intersection, they diverged very quickly, like a businessman.But even so, before everything is shattered and broken, he is still lucky, and he is willing to believe that all mistakes and tragedies will end with his exile, and all he has to do is to calm down. Quietly waiting for the successor to come, in the endless storm.

With that vague expectation.

However, the existence of the dead smoke in the ancient mausoleum doomed him to not be able to come to an end peacefully in this life.He had to face his original madness once again.

He finally came to his senses: the passing smoke of ancient mausoleum was never his antidote, the illusion of dragon and phoenix[Note 1] was just drinking poison to quench thirst.

The sky is wide, the dead are like this, the scenery of the island of controlling the wind, the vastness of the rivers, and the turbulent winds of the eight winds may make the immigrant poet in a difficult situation feel at a loss and boldness, but it cannot dispel his crampedness and distress. The unchanging evening view of the sea and the sky, I only feel that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way to help.

A flat boat suddenly pierced into the field of vision.It is not fast or slow, drifting with the current, as if being steered by a skilled helmsman, or shallowly swirling along the vortex, or bypassing those sinister wind pillars, avoiding all the danger of overturning, although it is slow, it can be seen clearly Until it is approaching itself.

Ximing is the same existence as Huangquan Hushu. Except for people with the Four Wonders Skill, the only people who can walk around the courtyard like this are...the dead.

Du Wuyu was shaken all over, hesitated again, and finally jumped to the bow...

After all.

He can't do anything, can't do anything but deceive himself.One wrong step, one wrong step.

The sea was raging, and all the dazzling light spots on the crest of the waves rushed to the bottom of the eyes at once, blurred into one piece, and then fell into the pair of eyeballs, staring at him so hostilely.He trembled uncontrollably, breathed vigorously for a long time, and finally leaned down and stretched out his hands, closing her eyes.But still can't escape that line of sight.Every breath he took was mixed with blood, and was crushed by the storm, spreading the fishy smell to the whole area.

What is tolerable and what is unbearable. [Note 2]

The way is not feasible, so I float on the sea[Note 3]; even so, you still insist on taking away my last floating board?

In the world, there is no place for Du Wuyu to stay, so, as you wish - crossing the sea and returning to the mountain, you will be dragged along with you forever.

The ancient style is finally out of its sheath.

A lonely light, accompanied by the master of Leng Chuang's fame.The passing smoke of the ancient mausoleum is still playing with the mist that rises straight up in the furnace as usual, and a wisp of a dragon swims, which is exactly like the twists and turns of the road ahead.

Inadvertently, the orchid heart of the oil lamp was split open, and all the cold incense in the room was turned into dust and dirt.He didn't seem to believe it, but this familiar killing wind was exactly the person who lived through the clouds and the moon, the mountains and the rivers, and the sword came with fury and fury.Immediately slapping the table and shaking, Kunwu came out of the scabbard, the snow light circled around, leaned on the ground calmly, the black sword tassel fluttered and vibrated, and the mist swirled away to look at it, instantly calming the aura of returning to the acupoint and rushing to the mausoleum.With two strokes, the ground cracked and the courtyard was empty.

Although the merchant department of the dark pavilion lost its palm, it was also moved by the wind and lined up outside the cold window fame, but was waved back by the passing smoke of the ancient tomb slowly walking out of the hall: "Go down! Don't disturb my friendship with my friends!" Yes."——Since he is not an opponent, there is no need to rush here to die.

As soon as the Ministry of Commerce retreated, the wind was blowing from Du Wuyu's ribs, his clothes fluttered, his plain sleeves and wings spread, and the ancient wind sword pointed directly at the passing smoke of the ancient tomb.It is the only sword in the four realms that can directly attract the energy of heaven and earth, so the sword style is pure and fierce: the energy of Qingping is born in the folder, Zhou Luzhi sings from the tan, Yishui soaks the ridge, and the stone of Taiyue is sharpened. Wash it up.Angry at the crown, without saying a word, he straightened his sword and slashed like thunder, and the sound moved hundreds of miles: "A sword Ling Chen!"

The great master's eyes were deep, and he only flicked the hilt of the sword lightly, as if tuning a string, Bai Dai Kunwu burst into the ground, and pulled up the snowy peak thousands of feet in front of Du Wuyu.

Although only defending but not attacking, the brilliant and familiar Flying Snow is so brilliant and familiar. Time and space inexplicably appeared overlapping images in front of his eyes, but they were driven by another person and turned their blades to attack him. When it came, most of the wind's essence disappeared in an instant, and it was powerless to continue. ——I can’t lie to myself anymore, he has really annexed the two realms of Frozen Cloud, and even the last bit of room for him to try to compromise has not been left, so ruthlessly.

One move disintegrated, and the second move started again. The ancient style bluntly mourned and touched Kunwu's famous front.

Along the way of swordsmanship, the two have also exchanged ideas and inspired each other. They have long been familiar with each other's moves. After years of precipitation, the great sword is invisible, and there are not so many swords at hand.Detecting, dismantling, containing, and stabbing, the two of them were mostly probing, feigning a shot, and dancing seamlessly.The moves have been refined to the simplest, as ingenious as clumsy, but in the neatest blank space, there are invisible sword lights interlacing, dangerous and unpredictable.

It was rare for Guling Shiyan to see Du Wuyu look so outrageous, his water-colored hair fluttered around his face, splitting and blurring his troubled and troubled face.He blurted out: "Shuang Yi Yueke is dead?!"

Sure enough, the ancient wind exploded into a gust of wind, and the sword body, which seemed to be dusty and hidden, cracked the emptiness shell attached to the surface, revealing the real bright posture, and six stars came out impressively, which was thrilling.

"Do you think I did it?!" Guling Siyan was dazzled by the little fluorescent lights, and couldn't help frowning, but only had time to ask this sentence, and was shaken away by an ominous energy for a few steps.

Du Wuyu seemed to be out of his wits, and he just waved his front silently, the dead air gradually flowed out, and his whole body was shrouded in a layer of black air.

Guling Shiyan quickly considered cause and effect.Since he has strictly ordered Tantai to have no bamboo to keep alive, with his ability, taking Yuansheng Fortune Ball is just like picking something out of a bag.But Shuang Yueke died? !And Tantai Wuzhu was thoughtful, but he didn't warn of the smoke in time?All these things can only make people speculate that someone else has intervened to set the blame.

"Since I promised you to let Shuang Yan Yueke go, how could I kill her in a blink of an eye? Gu Ling Shiyan has always kept her promise and doesn't bother to go back on her word! What's more, you think that if the Grand Master really kills her, she will still let her go!" You know?" Gu Ling Shi Yan turned around and stood up, awe-inspiring.

Du Wuyu paused with his sword, but still didn't say anything, changing his moves and attacking again.

Guling Shiyan sneered: "Wu Yu didn't open his mouth because he was afraid of confronting us, and he would have the idea of ​​letting the Grand Master go." He viciously saw through his opponent's mind, took the opportunity, and drew his sword Even more tolerant and unrestrained, "In fact, within the four realms, you are the first to know that the dead smoke in the ancient tomb is not a good person, but you have always let it go, and you will not hesitate to use the sins you committed to clear up the karma for the great master. Thinking about it, it really is true." It's touching!"

Gu Feng has transformed into a mirror that is as clean as a mirror, and at the moment when the two are infinitely close, a pair of deep and sharp eyes are reflected, with hidden sharpness, under a glance, half of his strength is lost.

"Just said a few words, my friend, you are shaken." Guling Shiyan took advantage of the situation and sneered, "Since you didn't guess wrong, why did you still use your sword? Since you made the choice at the beginning, why do you have to go back on your word now? Ruo Ruo You firmly believe that relying on the benevolence, righteousness and morality you practice, you can ruin the Nihai Chongfan you built, so why do you still want to give me the thousand-year-old blood Qin passed down from Emperor Wang?——Is it because you are worried that I will clean it up for you? Did you commit many injustices and die at the hands of righteousness before falling against Nihai Chongfan?"

"Stop talking!!" Du Wuyu was finally provoked and roared angrily.

He didn't speak because he couldn't answer these questions.Deny it?If the other party took out the blood jade that was enough to reverse the yin and yang, it would make him feel ashamed.Do you admit it?The death of so many people, Shuang Yan Yueke's dying glance, how can he bear it?

But it turned out that he knew it all!He knew it all a long time ago!Grandmaster Yandu deserves to be the pinnacle of the four realms, he observes the situation of the world, calms the turmoil, deceives people's hearts, destroys the two realms, and even plays with himself on the palm of his hand.Such an unbelievable desire that even he himself couldn't believe it, and the hidden desire he couldn't be sure of, couldn't hide it from those eyes!

Du Wuyu had no choice but to use both hands to hold the sword, but the slashing move was still more than an inch short, and the opening was exposed.

It's still the same old saying, in a duel between masters, the victory or defeat is only a hair's breadth away.The dead smoke of the ancient mausoleum congeals the meaning of gods, and the gods become swords. A deep and turbid air is born from the ground, including the five mountains and vibrating rivers and seas. light vertical and horizontal.

Du Wuyu's psychological shock was astonishing and subtle, just like the lotus dew, a slight shaking, and he rolled directly from one end to the other. Finally, the warrior's instinct of resistance preceded all physical and mental reactions. At that moment, the death mark open.

Xuanfeng rises toweringly, dispelling the smoke and mist, like black wings spread out, engulfing the passing smoke of the ancient tomb in an instant, thirsty tigers rushing to show their momentum, ghosts screaming and ghosts standing up and making their voices, sympathetic with the night sky far away resonance.And the three swords intertwined under one step, the faint light prevailed, and a formation was woven, all the energy in the whole body was sucked out in an instant, only feeling that the body was falling infinitely, unable to recover.He sighed resignedly, Kun Wu threw it and sank obliquely into the ground: "You do it."

But Du Wuyu was panting in the dark night.

Guling Shiyan smiled again, his robe fluttered, and his posture was so upright, but he looked very calm, with infinite compassion on his face: "Du Wuyu, Du Wuyu, you always want to keep everyone, but when you In the end, it is doomed that you will not be able to protect anyone."

"Shuang Yan Yueke... died of 'single attention', I will never admit my mistake." He finally spoke.

Guling Shiyan stared firmly into his chaotic eyes: "I believe in you. But it was not Guling's doing." His words were sonorous and forceful, and he just spread out all the fragments, hesitation and confusion in front of Du Wuyuyu. into one place.

Du Wuyu tightened his hands holding the sword again, implying that he could not hear, could not hear.Slowly raise the sword, as if about to swing it down.

However, a few black feathers were blown down to Xuanyuan from the distant sky, and the glossy and watery feathers were dense and light, as black as ink, and a glimpse of the feathers still shone with Lu Li's iridescence in this dull night.A man with a tall and tall figure was staggered and descended slowly.Du Wuyu only felt that the person who fell silently behind him was as thick as a shadow, and he could only hear a lot of beads, shaking every step, trembling slightly, and making noises.

His mind was disturbed, he could no longer control the formation, and the death mark suddenly disappeared.

A soft sigh, like a sharp hand, strangled his throat: "Misfortune prevails..."

The so-called extreme joy begets sorrow is talking about Nishinomiya Diaoying.Seeing that his illness was about to recover, he slept in the shade of a tree all afternoon, shivering until dusk, and was woken up by the cold wind. He started to have a fever that night, and it was worse than before, and he was lethargic most of the time.He lost all his skills and physique, and his physique was no longer what it used to be. Naturally, Empress Gong Wu didn't dare to try Zhu Han, a Mongolian doctor, with Xigong expensive body, so she ordered to return to Yandu.

The river is broad without sorrow, and the waves are gentle, and the boat sails on the water, walking very steadily.Sometimes it is cloudy and rainy, and sometimes it is sunny. Looking at each other through carved wooden windows can be a reward for famous paintings.There are apes singing in the evening, and cranes singing in the morning.In short, when you raise your head and ears, you are all intoxicated.

Nishinomiya Diaoying leisurely wrapped herself in white fox fur to keep warm, holding the unfinished "The Legend of Gongyang" in her still-moving left hand, and then put it down to rest for a long time.

Gong Wuhou continued to fight for the Three Willows Sword Manual through the large desk, so diligently pursuing, meticulously crafting, forgetting to eat and sleep, it is in the same line as the great master.

At this time Zhu Han pushed the door open and came in with a plate of freshly cut apples.

Nishinomiya Diaoying asked: "Where did you get the apples?"

This question arises because of the drastic change in weather this year.After walking for many days, I saw that all the grass withered in the Central Plains overnight, the grains were exhausted, and all the fruits were shaken off, such as apples. It was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, but due to insufficient sunlight and temperature, most of the barely picked were sour and hard to eat.And the plate that Zhu Han brought was as red as cheeks, the flesh was moist, sweet and fragrant, it was very pitiful.

Hearing this question, Zhu Han immediately regained his spirits, dancing and introducing how he ran into a monk traveling eastward selling a basket of exotic apples on the way to buy food. "I know that the young master loves apples the most! I saw that the ones he sells are different from those in our plight! They are so big! They are so popular!..." He kept talking and gestured, boasting about how he used his whole life of martial arts, After repelling dozens of people looting my aunt, I finally snatched two.

The two audience members couldn't help laughing.

Gong Wuhou was feeling tired, so she reached out to grab it.Seeing this, Nishinomiya Diaoying turned pale with fright. With quick eyes and quick hands, he forcibly stuffed the yellow scarf hidden with him.Gong Wuhou rolled her eyes, and rubbed her hands helplessly.

A piece of apple was picked up by his fingers, the finger was long and white, reflecting the two sides, almost indistinguishable, and the fingertips had a little bit of red jewel-like nail color, watery and bright, and a jade petal was brought to the lips, the color of the lips was like Cherry blossoms, so the eyes are full of red-white color, shining and shining, unparalleled in beauty.Then bite the white teeth, the crisp sound of cutting and chewing, so dear.

Nishinomiya Diaoying suddenly smiled, and then covered his face with a book.

Seeing his strange expression, Gong Wuhou opened her bright eyes and looked at him suspiciously.After a while, I didn't know what to think of, but I blushed a little, and I was depressed, and started to write again.

Outside the window, there is a scene of green willows brushing the embankment slowly, and the green smoke is like a dream. Time travels through it, and it seems that it will always be so good.

Sleepy and lazy in the afternoon, the two of them were half asleep and half awake, chatting without saying a word.

I don't know who started it, but they talked about Tantai Wuzhu.

"...Tantai Wuzhu's debauchery is nonsense, he speaks upside down, and is extremely rude. One day, I will let him experience the power of Dan Gong. Once Zhu Hong comes out, he will be crushed." Gong Wuhou said of him. It will be murderous.

But Xigong Diaoying calmly said: "Junior brother can't understand him, we have plenty of ways to deal with him, why bother to go to war."

"What is Nishinomiya's opinion?"

Xigong Diaoying had just finished reading the book, and was afraid of dirty hands with bituminous coal, so he carefully wiped the handkerchief on the lacquer plate: "Although I was in a hurry before going out, I still had some arrangements. For example, those who are in charge of money and food will all come back on vacation with the excuse of taking a bath." Home until I return to the palace; another example is the strict order to the subordinates. During the extraordinary period, the big and small affairs of the Yanlou, no matter how big or small, must be headed by Zhugong, and everything must be decided by him. Presumably at this moment, his life is worse than death. I just want to escape."

Gong Wuhou had no words to answer, only shook his head and sighed silently.

Nishinomiya Diaoying wiped his hands with great effort, and suddenly asked: "The rift between me and Zhugong is due to the position of the head of Yandu and other things a long time ago. But you, junior brother, I remember that you fell into a ruthless state after the ceremony. Lou Xiuxing, there should be no chance to have a feud with Zhugong?"

Gong Wuhou slightly raised his eyebrows.Of course he can't tell the truth, his eyes moved, and he said casually: "I always feel that his appearance and breath are too similar to the ancient mausoleum, and I hate him very much when I see him!"

The cabin was instantly quiet, like falling into an ice cellar.

Gong Wuhou lowered her eyes heavily.Nishigong Diaoying was still wiping his hands, the handkerchief was so light, but his right hand was disabled, even though the grand master tried his best to connect his meridians, he could no longer lift his strength, his fingers maintained a twisted posture, and he barely grasped it But he can’t move his hand to where he wants to go, either too far to the left or too far to the right. He is very patient and doesn’t call for others to wait on him. He just adjusts slowly, lightly and heavily. Wipe finely, tirelessly.

Gong Wuhou heard his shallow breathing without any disturbance.However, there are mixed feelings in his heart, and he wants to distinguish and forget his words.This silence, so heavy that it seemed to have a shape, was pressing down on his head, and as the ship shook slightly, it crushed his body and mind, until he was crushed to pieces.

What broke the deadly silence was people from the dark pavilion who suddenly asked for an interview and reported that a river in front of them could not move forward because of the sudden collapse of the mountains on both banks, mud and gravel. As for the dredging and release, I don’t know time to complete.

Xigong Diaoying took off the silk handkerchief and got up, said briefly to abandon the ship and go overland, and then went out to make arrangements.The white fresh fox fur slid down onto the chair, and finally couldn't hold on anymore, and fell to the ground slumped, kicking up fine dust.

Gong Wuhou kept hanging the brush, but couldn't write a word. Up to this moment, her hands were numb with soreness. When she lost her mind, the brush fell off and rolled off the table, leaving a huge smudge on the paper.
