The flower is a tulip [Chu Liuxiang]

Chu Liuxiang was a little surprised.Although he guessed that there was someone living in the house, he did not expect that it was a girl, and she was also a relative of the Murong family.

Why does this "miss" live in this prison-like house?

He looked back at the door, and was about to speak, but he heard a voice from inside the door: "Bishui, who are you talking to?"

The voice was low and gentle, although it was a little hoarse, it carried an inexplicable charm.

The little girl stopped immediately, and said respectfully: "It's the owner's guest, he lost his way, and Bi Shui is about to take him back."

"Oh? Where is the guest from?"

Chu Liuxiang heard that although the voice had the charm of a mature woman, but the tone was full of curiosity, almost like a child.He suddenly couldn't help but said: "I'm a disciple of the Beggar Clan, and I came to visit Patriarch Murong with the leader of the clan, and unintentionally disturbed Miss. I wonder if Miss will let me make amends in person?"

These words came out of a strange man's mouth, originally they were very reckless, but in Chu Liuxiang's indifferent and unrestrained tone, they seemed so natural.The little girl "Bi Shui" was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer for the young lady.But the voice inside the door laughed lightly.

"Since your Excellency is so straightforward, I really want to meet the heroes of the Beggar Gang in person."

"Miss!" Bi Shui said anxiously, "The Patriarch has ordered that the young lady should rest in peace and not see the wind."

"It's okay."

After the voice inside the door finished saying this, there was no movement.Chu Liuxiang couldn't help becoming nervous, staring straight at the curtain hanging outside the door.

The curtain was finally raised.A figure appeared behind the curtain, walked out slowly, and stopped on the corridor in front of the door.

Chu Liuxiang was completely stunned there, not knowing what to say.

When he heard the voice from inside the door, he had already imagined this cousin lady in a variety of ways, charming and charming, with a trace of innocence.Her figure must be extremely graceful, and her clothes are like white clouds in the sky, floating in the air.

However, standing in front of him was a completely black figure.

She was wearing a black robe that stretched all the way to the ground, her body was covered by the wide robe, and it was almost impossible to tell whether she was a man or a woman. The sleeves of the two pairs of clothes were like crow's wings, covering all the way to her fingertips.She wears a bamboo hat over her head and a long, waist-length black veil that falls to her knees as she crouches in salute.

Chu Liuxiang couldn't help being extremely disappointed.

But this black figure walked down the steps slowly and walked up to Chu Liuxiang.Her gait is very light, as if stepping on water waves.Seeing this, Chu Liuxiang had no choice but to bow and said, "I have no intention of offending you, please forgive me, miss."

The black figure laughed again, her laughter was not like an ordinary girl, it was as clear as a silver bell, as light as a spring water, but it was low and mellow like a flute, with a little hoarseness mixed in, as if Use a feather to sweep over the most sensitive part of the human heart.

Chu Liuxiang looked towards the veil amidst such laughter, only to see a pair of deep pool-like pupils staring at herself.

Then the black figure said softly: "Your Excellency didn't offend me. On the contrary, I was bored in the room and was very boring, and my cousin refused to let me go out. If it wasn't for Your Excellency's accidental arrival, I wouldn't be able to say three words a day." talk."

Chu Liuxiang touched her nose subconsciously, and said, "Miss is a little sick? It's better to pay attention to recuperation, and it's not too late to go out after the recovery."

The black figure seemed to sigh under the veil, but walked straight out of the courtyard, as if leading the way for Chu Liuxiang.Chu Liuxiang had no choice but to follow her, and heard her say: "I have been sick for many years, and I can't blow the wind or even see the light. Although my heart yearns for the world outside the door, my people But you can only stay in a dark room with no lights."

Chu Liuxiang suddenly understood why all the doors and windows in the yard were hung with curtains, why the corridor was much lower than other places, and why this young girl was dressed like a widow, and she couldn't even see her face clearly. .

Hearing the young lady's words, his heart was filled with sympathy and pity.He was originally a romantic who loves and protects flowers, not to mention this girl's voice is like a magnet attracting his heartstrings.

So Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "Actually, miss...you don't have to stay in your room all the time, even if you can't go out, why don't you chat with others?"

The lady said indifferently: "After my cousin became the head of the house, everything is busy, and I don't want to disturb him. Cousin Qingqing is lively and active, and she is rarely at home. I really can't find anyone to chat with."

Chu Liuxiang's eyes suddenly jumped in an unknown way, but he said in his mouth: "The Murong family is so big, does the Murong family head have only one younger sister?"

The young lady nodded and said: "It's not just Murong, the three major families in the south of the Yangtze River, this generation is not prosperous. My cousin has only one younger sister, the Li family in Gusu is the only son, and the Lin family is mine except for me." Twin brother."

Chu Liuxiang was shocked again, and hurriedly said: "It turns out that Miss is the daughter of the Lin family in Changzhou. I heard before that the Lin family and the Murong family are relatives by marriage for generations..."

Miss Lin said: "That's right. My cousin's mother is my real aunt."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Then Miss and Patriarch Murong..."

Miss Lin said: "Although I haven't made it clear yet, what the elders want is to kiss me and marry my cousin."

Her tone was flat, as if this was the most common thing, but Chu Liuxiang felt that behind her words, there was aversion and disgust towards this matter.Just like when she mentioned her illness and had to stay under the dark roof, she felt helpless resentment.

This girl, who was wrapped in a heavy and airtight black dress, obviously had a heart yearning for light and freedom, but was bound by the double chains of family and disease, and could not get a little bit of relaxation.

Chu Liuxiang thought deeply, and hardly noticed that Miss Lin had stopped.

"From here is the front yard," Miss Lin said calmly, "I don't want to be seen by my cousin, please go back by yourself."

Chu Liuxiang bowed, but a strange feeling arose in her heart, as if she didn't want to leave like this, and let the girl go back into the darkness again.However, he hadn't found a suitable topic, and he could talk for a moment longer, when he heard a sudden commotion in the front yard.

"Murong Qingcheng, pay back my father's life!"

A long black whip, like a dragon, like lightning, with this shout, quickly attacked Patriarch Murong who had just walked out of the main hall.After the long whip, there was a graceful figure rising into the air.

black figure.

It's black again.

This is a boy dressed in black, with a black cloak on his body, and even leather gloves and boots are black.

In just the blink of an eye, the black assailant had already fought with the Murong family leader.The figures of the two people staggered and flashed, so fast that it was difficult to tell them apart. Although the surrounding Murong family quickly formed a circle, no one dared to rush in.

A long whip of the black boy danced into a tighter whip ring, and made sharp piercing sounds from time to time, as if he wanted to take advantage of the other party's dazzled and suddenly attack.Patriarch Murong didn't have a weapon in his hand, although he hastily met the enemy, but judging from his movement, it seemed that he was several times faster than the black boy, the shadow of the whip was so dense that even water couldn't get in, even a little of his The corner of the clothes can't touch it either.

Chu Liuxiang took two steps forward, just in time to see Nangong Ling who was coming out of the hall.Nangong Ling's expression was also a little nervous, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded at Chu Liuxiang from a distance, and stood with his hands behind his back on the stage.

Chu Liuxiang walked over and said in a low voice: "This is a great opportunity to make friends with the Murong family, won't you help?"

Nangong Ling smiled and said: "This person is not an opponent. Murong Qingcheng looks humble, but he is very proud in his heart. I don't want to be flattered!"

Chu Liuxiang said: "It seems that you two had a very good chat?"

Nangong Ling's eyes flicked to the end of the yard, and said, "Isn't your side not bad? It looks like they sent them out in person."

Chu Liuxiang followed his gaze, and sure enough, she saw that Miss Lin had already passed the gate of the courtyard, standing under a sycamore tree, quietly watching the battle situation.

For some reason, Chu Liuxiang felt that the eyes under the veil became warmer, like two burning flames.He was engrossed in watching it, and was taken aback by Nangong Ling's slap on the shoulder, and turned his head quickly.

Nangong Ling couldn't help laughing and said: "You bastard, you're committing a love problem again! I asked you just now, did you see the martial arts skills of this boy in black, why didn't you answer?"

Chu Liuxiang collected himself, stared into the courtyard for a while, and blurted out: "The 'Desert Dragon' whip technique! He is the descendant of Zamuhe!"

Nangong Ling nodded and said: "Jamuhe, the king of the desert, has two unique skills in his life, one is the 'shadowless magic knife', and the other is the dragon whip technique. But he is famous for his big wind knife, and this whip technique is quite impressive. It's rarely mentioned."

Chu Liuxiang said: "It seems that this uninvited guest should be the son of Jamuka. It's just... that Jamuka died in the Central Plains, and the news hasn't come out. Why did he come to settle accounts with the Murong family?"

Nangong Ling said: "Your case is getting more and more confusing, isn't it?"

Chu Liuxiang pondered and said: "If it is true as you said, all of this is a conspiracy of Shenshui Palace. Presumably they saw that the body of the deceased failed to flow out, and it didn't work for a while to blame me. They simply provoked the Western Regions and the Murong family to fight each other. Keep messing up the world."

Nangong Ling nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way to explain it."

While speaking, sure enough, the black boy backed up again and again, and the whip circle shrunk by more than a foot, while Patriarch Murong's palm style became more and more fierce.When the surrounding Murong family members saw it, they couldn't help applauding.

All of a sudden, the black boy screamed, his long whip shook straight, and he stabbed Patriarch Murong head-on like lightning!

This move is not surprising in the eyes of martial arts masters, and Patriarch Murong just turned his side slightly to avoid it.But the black boy had already jumped up, straightened up a few feet, and left the yard in an instant, landed on the roof of the wing room, retracted his whip quickly, and said coldly: "Come up if you have the guts!"

His voice was bright and crisp, much higher than Miss Lin's, as if expressing the excitement in his heart.Patriarch Murong remained calm and jumped onto the roof.

Chu Liuxiang adjusted his belt casually, and was about to follow, when Nangong Ling suddenly pulled his arm and said, "What are you doing?"

"What Shenshui Palace wants is for these two people to kill each other and cause unmanageable consequences, right?" Chu Liuxiang smiled, "If I don't intervene, the Murong Patriarch may not be in trouble, Zamuhe's son will be in trouble! "

Before he finished speaking, his men were already in mid-air, following the two men to the nearby courtyard.Nangong Ling had no choice but to withdraw her hand, rubbed her nose like him, and murmured: "You don't want to meddle, but you will lose yourself."

Chu Liuxiang naturally did not hear this sentence.

When he saw the black boy appearing and attacking Patriarch Murong, he had concluded that this was exactly what was being manipulated by the murderer behind the scenes.And the fifth corpse he found in the sea, the girl wearing the Shenshui Palace costume, was probably the sister of Patriarch Murong, Murong Qingqing.

The Cinnabar Sect, the Tianxing Gang, the Hainan Sword Sect, the Wind Country of the Western Regions, plus the Murong Family, this is the chess game that the murderer intends to stir up chaos.

He now has only one chance to unravel this intricate situation.

Chu Liuxiang plummeted, and had already caught up with the two people who were still fighting on the roof.

At this time, he had discovered that Patriarch Murong's lightness kung fu was truly extraordinary, almost on par with his own, and the black boy was obviously inferior.

But the boy still insisted on jumping on the roof to continue fighting, because he also realized that if it was a competition of internal strength and moves, he was no match for Patriarch Murong.But on the roof of the courtyard with a limited range, the difference in lightness skills will not cause a big disadvantage, and he can use the characteristics of the long whip to reach far to distance himself from the head of the Murong family, so as to ensure that he will not be attacked from the front.

Chu Liuxiang couldn't help secretly admiring this black boy who didn't look very old, but was able to choose the most favorable battle strategy in a short period of time.

Then he jumped forward and shouted loudly: "Stop, both of you, I have something to say!"

Nangong Ling, who hurriedly chased from the ground to the yard here, couldn't help but staggered, and then held her forehead with her hand.

He never thought that Chu Liuxiang would use this method to stop the fight.

Not only corny, but almost certainly ineffective.

Nangong Ling thought to herself, if there is a chance to talk to Patriarch Murong later, she must clarify to him that this "beggar gang disciple" has no personal relationship with her, and she had no choice but to bring him here.

However, after Chu Liuxiang shouted these words, she flew forward and broke into the fighting circle abruptly.His person and his voice reached the center of the two almost at the same time.

The head of the Murong family behind him has already raised his palm, and the long whip of the black boy also hit him directly in the face.

Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but let out an exclamation.Everyone thought that this person was out of his mind, so he ran to die.

But Chu Liuxiang just looked at the black boy and smiled, "Please stop."

With the sound of the wind, the whip almost reached in front of him, and miraculously stopped within two inches of his eyebrows.Then the black boy flicked his wrist, and the long whip returned to his hand in circles.

"who are you?"

Chu Liuxiang didn't answer right away, but turned sideways and looked at Patriarch Murong behind him.In the eyes of the other party, it is obvious that they are also asking the same question.

"I……"

Chu Liuxiang only said one word, but her pupils shrank suddenly!

A gust of wind passed by the back of his neck, and he rushed even more fiercely towards Patriarch Murong who had already withdrawn his palm.The black long whip has turned into a poisonous dragon in everyone's eyes.

The deadly dragon.

The black boy actually used Chu Liuxiang's figure to cover him when others let go of their defenses, and completed the blow.

Chu Liuxiang instinctively spun her body, out of the range of the whip wind, but watched the long whip go straight in front of Patriarch Murong.However, at the same time, there seemed to be a silver light flashing in front of his eyes.

He was startled suddenly, and retreated again, already out of the circle.However, he felt a heavy pressure in his heart.

No one can solve this game.

The black young boy's long whip was like a sharp arrow, piercing through the space in front of Patriarch Murong in the blink of an eye, turning it around like lightning, as if it had tightly entangled a figure.He violently exerted force on his wrist, and the white shadow followed the long whip across the air, showing no resistance at all.

Under the sunlight that was approaching the middle of the sky, the white shadow almost hurt everyone's eyes.

But the black boy suddenly paused, quickly turned his head to look at the courtyard below the house, and shouted: "You're looking for death!" The long whip was loosened, shook it in the air again, and hit it straight down.

It seems that people only realized at this time that what was rolled on the whip just now was just a piece of white cloth.Someone looked around and found that there was one missing bed sheet to dry in the yard.

And the bed sheet that had just been washed happened to fall now, half of it hanging over the eaves, like a white cloud that fell inadvertently.

All this changed so quickly that no one in the courtyard could see clearly, who on earth blocked the black boy's sharp blow with such a sheet?

Chu Liuxiang jumped out of the room without thinking, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop!"

The black boy ignored it, and the long whip stabbed straight like a sharp blade, pointing in the direction of a figure in Tsing Yi in the courtyard.

With a "boom", the people in the courtyard scattered to avoid it, as if they were afraid that this long whip, which looked like a living thing, would find their own bad luck by the way.The figure in Tsing Yi didn't move, but when the whip was about to reach the door, he suddenly raised his hand.

The long whip trembled violently, and stopped in the air again.Only this time, the black boy maintained the posture of pulling back, stretching the whip until it creaked, but the long whip stood there straight, motionless.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the tip of the long whip was caught between the fingers of the man in green on the ground.

Index and middle fingers.

The man only used two fingers to clamp the whip that was attacking like lightning and lightning.And the young man tried his best to regain it, but he couldn't shake these two fingers.

The black boy seemed to be completely stunned, but subconsciously refused to relax.Chu Liuxiang hurried to catch up, and stretched out his hand to hit the long whip's waist. The young man shook immediately, and the whip almost fell out of his hand, so he quickly gritted his teeth and held it.But he exerted more strength, and the long whip turned around.

Chu Liuxiang only stared at the man in Tsing Yi, and asked anxiously, "How are you? Are you not injured?"

Before the man could answer, another low and melodious voice came from behind Chu Liuxiang, as if every word had the power to strike the heartstrings.

"Your Excellency is superb in martial arts. With such finger strength, I am afraid that there are few opponents in the Jianghu. Moreover, it is a class of its own. It is really eye-opening. As for the previous move... Could it be the unique skill of the Wudang sect 'Liuyun Feixiu'?"
