falling dust

Yun Shi walked in the front, cut off the thorns blocking the way with a sword, turned around and stretched out his hand to help Jiang Lian over.

Yujue walked at the end and saw her holding Jiang Lian very naturally, with obscure eyes.

Shang Yuji turned around and found that she was a few steps behind, and couldn't help urging: "Hurry up, the patriarch said that this place is no safer than the passage of Qiansang Lake, since that road can't be used, we can only go out here, you don't want to be left behind. "

Yujue nodded, took a few steps forward and held her hand, Shang Yuji froze for a moment, and let her hold it.

Because the curse seal on Yunshi's back could not keep the Jiang family forever, the patriarch asked them to leave the clan as soon as possible, but the road from Qiansang Lake to Youtan was destroyed by Shaodian Jiyuan, and so far this is the only way to leave the clan.

In fact, Yun Shi knew in his heart that the old patriarch was just protecting them, and the Jiang family was more disturbed than the outside world. The old patriarch's attitude was firm, and she could not object at all.

It's just this ancient road... It's an exaggeration to say that the ancient road is an exaggeration, there is no trace of the road at all, it looks like an uncultivated mountain forest, the four of them almost slashed and stabbed a path all the way here!

Yun Shi looked at Xuezang in her hand, the silver sword was already dotted with spots, she showed a look of helplessness on her face, jumped up and swung the sword down, clearing out a flat open space in a few moments.

Putting the sword back into its sheath, Yun Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Let's rest here for a while."

Under the shade of the towering trees, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves. They haven't had a good rest in the past few days, and everyone can feel a little tired.

It's midsummer, and even though he was in the shade, he could still feel the heat. Yun Shi pushed his sleeves upwards, and Jiang Lian looked sideways at Yun Shi's wrist. His wrist was bright and white, and his brows frowned almost invisible. , the cloud time seems to have cleared up again.

Jiang Lian took out from the bag the old patriarch's food for them to eat on the way, tore half of it and handed it to Yun, seeing green stains on her outstretched hand, and took out a snow-white handkerchief from her waist, and put it on She pulled her hand over and wiped it carefully before giving her the food.

Yun reported that she smiled brightly, just as a ray of sunlight shone on her face, making her smile even more radiant, Jiang Lian's mouth lightly curled up and urged her to eat quickly.

When a few people were resting, the mountain shook suddenly, and the four of them looked around warily, but after a while, the forest returned to normal.

Thinking of what the old patriarch said about this ancient road that no one has set foot on for a hundred years, because it is within the Nine Nethers, there are many unknown things, and I don't know what the situation is for such a big commotion, Yun Shixiu frowned slightly, and said vigilantly: " It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go out quickly."

There was the sound of gurgling water coming from the front, and when Yunshi split a clump of grass blocking the way, the front suddenly became clear, and there was a clear mountain spring flowing down slowly. It turned out that they had reached the end of the ancient road, and there was a cliff ahead.

On the opposite side of the cliff is a very wide and flat open space, somewhat similar to the one in front of Jiang Yunyi's forest residence, as if artificially resting, and the open space is surrounded by lush trees.

Since there was no way, the gap between the cliff and the opposite side was not too large, and the few people leaped over it very easily.

Just a few breaths after landing, he was suddenly surrounded by several green-clothed women holding swords who appeared at an unknown time, Shang Yuji knew that he had been misunderstood and hurriedly said: "We are just making excuses, we didn't If you have evil thoughts, you will not be blamed if you enter by mistake."

After Shang Yuji's voice, a woman's crisp voice came from the forest: "Huh! This is the place where I practice martial arts in the palace. If you want to use the way, you should go through the palace gate. Is it okay to barge into the backyard of my Fuyu Palace like this?" Wuxin, you have to wait for me to take you back and let the Palace Master decide."

After saying that, she came out and pointed her sword horizontally at Yun Shi and the others ordered: "Go up!"

Seeing this, Yujue's eyes were as cold as ice, and before Shang Yuji could explain, she shook the long whip in her hand, and amidst the murderous aura, the long whip attacked the woman in green at the head like a snake swimming nimbly.

The woman pushed her long whip away with a sword, and her face showed anger: "Sure enough, the comer is not good, so form a sword formation."

The figures of the green-clothed women in the arena changed suddenly, and they were surrounded in the middle. They clearly felt the murderous aura coming from the pavement, and the misunderstanding deepened. Shang Yuji tightened Yu Jue to prevent her from impulsive bad things.

Yun Shi hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Miss, don't misunderstand, we really got lost in the mountains and entered your palace by mistake. We didn't want to provoke you, please calm down."

Shang Yuji continued: "We would like to follow you to explain clearly to your Palace Master, and also ask the girl to withdraw."

The woman in green looked at them and hesitated for a while, and suddenly her eyes turned cold: "Don't you try to trick me into withdrawing!"

Yun Shi said helplessly: "Then what will you have to do to trust us, we are all willing to follow you to meet your Palace Master."

The woman suddenly took out a very thin rope from her waist and threw it over

"I tied your hands."

Yu Jue glared angrily, but the woman turned a blind eye, Shang Yuji hurriedly pulled back her leaning body, and said in a deep voice, "Don't make trouble."

Yun Shi was about to bend down to pick up the rope, when a dark green sword hilt pressed against her body that was about to bend, Yun Shi raised his eyes in puzzlement.

Jiang Lian glanced at her, looked up sharply at the green-clothed woman opposite, and said in a low tone: "If your hands are bound, don't you let you wait for the sword."

The woman raised her eyebrows and said: "If it is found out that it was indeed a misunderstanding, I, Fuyu Palace, will guarantee that you all leave safely."

Jiang Lian smiled sarcastically, "How can I trust you?"

Yu Jue also sarcastically said: "Could it be that you are going to tie the hands of your entire palace and send us away?"

"You..." The woman in green was very angry, she pointed at Yu Jue and said angrily, "Take them down and send them to the Fire Prison."

Although there are many people on the other side, their skills are not as good as those of them. Except for Shang Yuji, the three of them are able to do a job with ease.

Seeing another sister fall down, the woman in green was full of resentment, and she stabbed towards Shang Yuji, who was the worst in martial arts.

Killing intent flashed across Yu Jue's eyes, and the long whip with the momentum of wind and thunder wanted to chop the woman's figure in mid-air.

Just when the long whip was about to hit the woman, a white silk came out from a distance, just in time to save the woman in green.

Then an extremely pleasant female voice sounded: "Since it's a misunderstanding, it's fine to explain it clearly, how can you treat guests with a sword?"

The woman in green stood still and bowed her head towards the white-clothed woman who was walking slowly behind her, and said, "This subordinate knows his mistake."

The woman in white didn't even look at her, she walked straight in front of the four of them, she covered her face with light veil, her eyebrows were beautiful, her eyes were gentle, she opened her lips and said: "I offended you so much just now." After speaking, she glanced at the surrounding women who fell to the ground Said: "Thank you for your mercy."

Shang Yuji chuckled back, "I'm being rude, and I don't know your identity?"

The woman's eyes swept across the Xuezang Sword and landed on Jiang Lian's face, then looked away for a moment and looked at Shang Yuji and said: "I am the owner of Fuyu Palace, my surname is Fu"

"Master Fu, these are my younger sisters. I lost my way with them in the mountains, so I broke into your palace. I hope the master can point out the way out of the palace." Shang Yuji knew that there was no direction in the mountains. It is a common occurrence, and such an explanation is not far-fetched.

After hearing this, the Palace Master didn't immediately explain the way out of the palace, but just glanced at the cliff they just jumped over with deep eyes, and said after a while: "It's either unintentional or fate, I think you are tired of finding the way in the mountains, Let's stay overnight in the palace."

Shang Yuji and Yun Shi looked at each other, since the palace lord promised tomorrow, then let's leave tomorrow.

Seeing that they agreed, Shi Shiran left first, and Jiang Lian looked at her back with hesitation in his eyes.

After dinner, someone arranged the room, and nothing changed until midnight, and most of Shang Yuji's doubts were gone.

Just after turning off the lights and getting ready to go to bed, Shang Yuji was startled by the sound of slight footsteps outside the door. Before she could hide, the door creaked open and closed again, and a black shadow touched the bedside.

Shang Yuji has now adapted to the darkness, and he can probably see his figure clearly. He said in a low voice, "Don't sleep in your own room, what are you doing here?"

It was only then that Yujue found her standing on the other side of the bed, grabbed her and threw her on the bed, climbed up to lie down and said, "Who knows what kind of heart this ghost palace is in." Turning to look at Shang Yu The place where Ji lay down taunted: "Your kung fu is the worst, I'm still here to protect you."

Shang Yuji's expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness, she could only hear her whisper: "It's late at night, go to sleep."

In the quiet corridor, the palace master in white was covered with a light veil, and held a delicate white gauze lantern. From time to time, a breeze would lift a corner of her veil, revealing her delicate jaw. After living in the courtyard, he went straight to Jiang Lian's room.

After knocking on the door a few times, Jiang Lian opened the door, stood at the door and looked at her with suspicion.

Palace Master Fu loosened the veil on his face with his free hand, revealing a delicate face, smiled slightly, and said very naturally: "Jiang Lian."

Jiang Lian's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes became sharp instantly, and there was a faint anger and murderous look all over his body.

Palace Master Fu probably felt it, her smile became bitter, she said: "Don't disturb others, please let me in."

Jiang Lian turned around and left, the Palace Master helped close the door, and then came to her side, "I haven't seen you for many years, you haven't changed at all."

Jiang Lian had a serious face, and his tone was very cold: "Fu Ying, do you still have the face to appear in front of me?"

The blood on Fuying's face faded, she stretched out her hand to pull her, her tone suddenly became sad

"I didn't mean it, I was also cheated by him."

Jiang Lian threw her away in disgust, "Hmph, I'm in vain as your friend, but you and your brother are ganging up to use me."

"Believe me, back then I had a big fight with him because of this matter, and I didn't hesitate to fight, but he knocked me off the cliff with his palm." Fu Ying wept, and tried her best to explain.

Jiang Lian was indifferent, looking at her with contempt and disgust in his eyes.

Seeing that she didn't listen in the slightest, there was sparkle in Fuying's eyes, she raised her hand to wipe it away, and suddenly laughed at herself: "I don't have the face to beg your forgiveness, after all, it's my brothers and sisters who are sorry for you."

Fu Ying glanced at her, saw that although she looked bad, she did not interrupt, and continued: "I don't ask for your forgiveness, it's just that I've been looking for you all these years, where have you been?"

Jiang Lian's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said in a resentful tone: "I was trapped in the Soul Bound Array by your good brother for 27 years."

Fu Ying's face changed drastically, she said with a trembling voice: "What? He... how dare he treat you like this."

Jiang Lian flicked his sleeves, and brushed away the hand she was about to reach out to pull him, and walked a few steps away from her, not wanting to answer her.

After being shocked for a while, Fu Ying said in a daze, "No wonder I couldn't find you after searching all over." Then she stood up and supported Jiang Lian to look around, "What loss do you have?"

Jiang Lian pushed her away and said coldly: "I'm very good. I couldn't kill him back then. Now I won't let him go. When the time comes, you and I will be enemies, and the past grievances will be understood." .”

Regardless of being almost pushed to the ground by her, Fu Ying looked at her in disbelief

"How do you know that I will be your enemy, how do you know that I will not help you."

Jiang Lian frowned slightly, and looked at her hesitantly, "You want to be your brother's enemy?"

Suddenly he said sarcastically: "I'm afraid this is another trick you have made."

Fu Ying shook her head desperately: "Jiang Lian, believe me, I don't want to see you in such a sad and painful way back then."

Jiang Lian looked at her for a while, then suddenly walked over and opened the door, looked at her, and said with a blank expression: "You go, I'm tired, I don't want to talk about the past, it doesn't matter whether it's an enemy or a friend in the future. "

Fu Ying looked at her, with a begging look on her face, her eyes were weeping, and she was still unwilling to take a step forward.

Jiang Lian turned his head away, refusing to look at her again.

Fuying closed her eyes in despair, and then opened her eyes in a weak state, when she brushed against Jiang Lian, she threw herself into Jiang Lian's arms, holding her very tightly.

Jiang Lian did not push her away this time, with a look of impatience looming on his face.

After a long while, Fu Ying let her go, and whispered something very softly in her ear.
