Sealing Sword

A din finally settled down, the day and night cycle turned around, and the black ink on the head was washed again.

The entire underground palace has been re-sealed, and the guards are lurking below. Xiao Yangu leaned against a big tree outside the secret passage, looked at the dark sky, the blood in her chest was still rolling, she couldn't help vomiting blood, her internal organs seemed to be Being thrown into the boiling water pot, it was not only unbearably hot, but also kept deteriorating.

A subordinate bowed his head and said: "Master, the hackers have come out in full force, and all the checkpoints within a radius of fifty miles have also been activated!"

"I don't want any of them to run away." A stern look flashed across his eyes, Xiao Yangu wiped away the blood from his lips, "Did you find any trace of the Palace Master?"

The subordinate said: "Palace Master chased the person who injured you away, and he hasn't turned around yet."

Xiao Yangu signaled him to back down, pressed his palms on his abdomen, his face sank like water.

Last night, she could have taken down Lu Mingyuan and Qin Lanshang, but she didn't expect to kill Cheng Yaojin on the way. Just a face-to-face, she swung away three consecutive sleeve arrows with her palm force, and even fought hard to be hit by her. He also punched "Lingling" on her body. If the palace lord hadn't released part of the strength, otherwise her dantian would have been destroyed.

Xiao Yangu stood in the wind and dew without moving an inch. As the master of the palace, she couldn't show weakness in front of her subordinates. However, the domineering internal force was still raging in her body, and she was sweating profusely, almost unable to stand up.

Fortunately, the person she had been waiting for for a long time finally came back.

The silver-faced man in white was walking in the forest under the pale moonlight. He carefully wiped the blood on his hands with a handkerchief. He seemed to be walking slowly, but in the blink of an eye, he came from far to near. Xiao Yangu just blinked. He was already standing in front of him.

"Palace Master!" Xiao Yangu knelt on one knee, her usually proud head bowed respectfully at this moment, her eyes could only look at the pair of moiré satin boots under her white clothes.

The tiptoe lifted her chin, and the man lifted her face, and said softly, "Your eyes are quite pretty."

A drop of blood that Xiao Yan hadn't wiped cleanly rubbed against the shoe surface, like a red flower blooming in the white snow, she was startled, but she didn't dare to move.

"It's a pity you have no eyes." The man withdrew his feet and looked down at her like a dog looking down on his house, "Is it because you have been in a high position for too long that your eyes are higher than the top, so you can't see the hidden dangers hidden below?" ?”

Xiao Yan's bones didn't move, her clothes were soaked in cold sweat on her back, she said: "It's my subordinate's fault, I despised the younger generation, now I have sent someone to chase after him, please give my subordinate a chance to make up for my mistakes."

The man put his clothes on, squatted down, and stretched out his hand towards Xiao Yangu's face, only then did he see clearly that he was wearing a mithril finger cot on the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, and the hook-like tip hovered at the corner of Xiao Yangu's eye , as if her eyes would be poached at any moment.

Xiao Yangu's pupils constricted, she gritted her teeth and dared not say a word, but fortunately the cold hand slowly moved away, and the fingertip seemed to scratch at the corner of her eye inadvertently, leaving a shallow bloodstain.

She heard the man's sighing voice: "My patience is running out."

The heart in her throat trembled, but she didn't dare to fall back into her chest. Xiao Yan got up, but still didn't raise her head. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Palace Master, that trespasser..."

"He's not dead." The man was still wiping his hands, the handkerchief was stained with blood, but his voice was very cheerful, "I haven't met such a capable young man for a long time."

Xiao Yan was startled, she thought that the palace lord would be able to kill that person, but she didn't expect that there was still a way out?

She hesitated for a while, and said: "This subordinate dares to ask who is that person? I should pay more attention in the future, so as not to cause him to cause serious trouble."

"The current master of Hundred Ghosts Sect is an unknown junior with a tough temper and hard martial arts." After wiping the last finger, the man let go of the handkerchief and let it fall to the ground, "But in this world, there has never been a Huiji It will hurt, just after... easy to break."

"Hundred ghosts have been against us for a day or two. Why doesn't the Palace Master..." Before she finished speaking, Xiao Yangu saw the man in white turn his head sideways, cast his deep eyes through the hole in the mask, and she There was a cold war, and I didn't dare to talk anymore.

"It is said that well water does not violate river water, and those who walk the road of the world, why bother to fight with dead ghosts?" The man in white smiled lightly, "What's more, do you know how to use the death of one person to break two people?"

Xiao Yangu shook her head.

The man in white's tone became more cheerful: "Feelings."

I don't know where it started, and it goes deep. The living can die, and the dead can live. (Note: From Tang Xianzu's "The Peony Pavilion")

"I killed him today to let him sacrifice his life for the person he likes, and die without regret, but why should I fulfill him?" The man in white looked up at the sky, "The most difficult thing in the world is to have nothing, the most difficult It's reluctance to let go, they... haven't reached the most suitable time to die yet."

Fear is like a poisonous snake rushing into the back and twisting and twisting, Xiao Yan's body was chilled all over, and he barely kept his voice as usual: "Then, what does the Palace Master mean..."

"Find their whereabouts, and then disclose the news, but you are not allowed to do it without authorization."

Xiao Yan wasn't sure what he meant, but she didn't dare to question him, and said respectfully, "Yes."

"Dark clouds cover the moon, wind blows on the ground, it's going to rain..." The man in white looked away, walked towards the underground palace, stepped on the bloody handkerchief on the ground, as if he had trampled on a fresh life.

Xiao Yangu didn't squat down to pick up the handkerchief until his figure completely disappeared, only to see a few spots of blood on the plain white handkerchief, which was shocking.

She recalled the pale hand of the Palace Master, from which the blood was wiped little by little, which meant that the five fingers had penetrated the skin and penetrated deeply into the flesh and blood.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's bones suddenly felt chilly, and the handkerchief in her hand fell back to the ground, soon stained with a drop of transparent water color.

It's raining.

The rain came fast, and the momentum was getting bigger and bigger, and it hurt people when it hit people.

Ye Fusheng and the others hired a carriage, but they were stopped by the heavy rain not far from the city, which is not bad luck.

Ye Fusheng thought about finding a place to take refuge in heavy rain, but when he saw the rain, he could only see the gods crying. Fortunately, Ruan Feiyu in the car said at the right time: "This place is not far to the west. The broken house can be temporarily sheltered."

This old guy has lived in the general town for more than half a year. Although he doesn't go out very much, he knows the surrounding area like a land lord, and he has a clear understanding of the surrounding mountains and road conditions.Hearing this, Ye Fusheng immediately turned his horse's head and drove over. About a quarter of an hour later, he saw the dilapidated house standing in the wind and rain.

The house probably used to be a temporary residence of hunters, it doesn't take up much space, but it can still keep out some wind and rain.Ruan Feiyu and Qin Lanshang led Lu Mingyuan inside first, and Ye Fusheng tied the carriage under the eaves. To be cautious, he held an umbrella and braved the wind and rain to go around the outside of the hut before entering the house.

Qin Lanshang had already gathered a pile of firewood from the house, lit it with a flint, sat by the fire to warm up, saw him come in, and pulled him to sit down.Lu Mingyuan was placed on the door panel covered with hay, sleeping unconsciously. Ruan Feiyu sat beside him and watched over him, like a stone statue that had been standing for ages when he remained silent.

It seemed that the rain was going to last all night, no one in the dilapidated house spoke, Ruan Feiyu was old after all, he had already leaned against the wall and fell asleep at some point.Ye Fusheng yawned, took out a small silver jug ​​from his bag, took a sip of the strange-tasting Canglu, his sleepy mind became clearer.

Rubbing the cold silver pot and feeling the aftertaste in his mouth, Ye Fusheng couldn't help but think of Duan Qing and Chu Xiwei, both of whom are missing now. Come.

Thirty years of his life, he fell from the mother's womb, and he has never been so worried.

He sighed unconsciously, and at this moment, a low voice sounded in his ears without warning: "I'm sorry."

Ye Fusheng turned his head, and saw the little girl glanced at the two ignorant masters and apprentices over there, and then she moved to her side, with fire in her eyes, and said softly: "This time I was reckless, impulsive and ignorant, and I was dragged down. Uncle and you."

Raising his eyebrows, Ye Fusheng said: "Since you know it's reckless, why do you want to do it?"

Qin Lanshang bit her lip, her expression of being fearless all the time relaxed, she congealed the helplessness and confusion suitable for her age, and mumbled: "It's just... I don't know anything if I don't want to."

Ye Fusheng recalled that ingenious letter from home, because Ruan Feiyu was here, he didn't make the words too clear, and then said: "Actually, I was reckless, and I was more ignorant than you."

Qin Lanshang thought that he would be reprimanded, but when he came, he was also an impulsive person in Tianya, so he turned his head and saw Ye Fusheng picked up a piece of firewood and planed the fire, and said lightly: "People will encounter many things in this life. I have made many choices, and no one dares to say that they have made no mistakes in their life. I am like this, and you are like this, so instead of apologizing to me, it is better to think about how to change. "

This person has never been so serious since the first time we met, Qin Lanshang was stunned for a moment, chewed the words back and forth twice in his stomach, his eyes fell on Ye Fusheng's face, he couldn't move, and couldn't help saying: "You "I'm not used to talking like this."

Ye Fusheng sighed deeply, and said: "I can't help it, I heard that silly girls who want to save face and suffer the punishment will follow the tricks of the understanding uncle."

Qin Lanshang: "..." Bah!

The seriousness at that moment was really pretended, Qin Lanshang strangled the incongruous imagination to death, and secretly thought that he was really messing around before, unless my uncle was fed up with lard, otherwise he would never have liked it Such a shameless bastard.

However, this conversation brought the distance between the two strangers closer.Qin Lanshang rubbed her hands, and heard Ye Fusheng ask in a low voice: "What are your plans after this is done?"

When he was talking, he glanced at Ruan Feiyu behind him, and his left hand seemed to be inadvertently brushing across his neck. Qin Lanshang was taken aback, shook his head again and again, and said, "Of course I'm going home."

Ye Fu had something to say: "Go back empty-handed?"

He spoke vaguely, but Qin Lanshang understood very well. She recalled the letter she left when she left home, and said in a low voice: "I have already caused a lot of trouble, let alone bring the trouble back."

When she came here she was full of spirits, wishing she could swear to heaven that she would let Nan Confucian Emperor I's famous name be turned into a cake in her own hands, but these days, no matter how prickly her temper is, she has to learn to be good.

Ye Fusheng: "Then you don't regret it after tossing around for so long?"

"I always want to see with my own eyes what kind of person he is, and I won't regret it after seeing it." Qin Lanshang nodded, his eyes quickly swept over Ruan Feiyu, and said in a muffled voice: "Even if he is really... , People who are cheap have their own rewards."

Ye Fusheng: "..."

This girl is not very old, but she is very sympathetic to herself.Ye Fusheng thought of Chu Xiwei whose temper was getting more and more awkward, and couldn't help feeling a little envious. At this moment, Qin Lanshang asked him again: "Hey, what is the relationship between you and my uncle?"

The word "Master and Apprentice" swirled around in his mouth, but he still didn't say it. Ye Fusheng was silent for a while, and said with a smile, "Friend."

Qin Lanshang asked the bottom line: "What kind of friend?"

"The friend who died." Ye Fusheng pointed to himself, "This life belongs to him, and it is only temporarily placed with me. He can take it anytime he wants."

Qin Lanshang squinted: "It's really just friends?"

"……Um."

Qin Lanshang lowered her head in disappointment: "Then you should stay away from my uncle in the future."

Ye Fusheng was a little amused: "Why?"

"Because my uncle has no friends, but has a life-long friendship with you, I must really don't want to lose you as a friend, but..." Qin Lanshang hesitated for a moment, and said seriously, "He is a broken sleeve, and you are just his friends."

Ye Fusheng: "...Huh?"

When he first heard the news, he felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his head, his whole body went numb, he couldn't catch his breath, and the silver pot in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
