Green Dragon Totem

Xie Yun didn't answer and didn't let go, his whole face seemed to be hidden in the darkness, only a slight cold light flickered at the corners of his eyes, like the sharp edges and corners of ice balls.

Shan Chao moved his shoulder, but he didn't break free. Xie Yun's hand seemed to be stiff.He took another half step forward, and abruptly broke away from the shackles of that hand. He took two steps forward and then turned around. He wanted to say something, but his chest heaved several times, only the hot and sour mouth The breath was suffocated in the chest cavity, and I couldn't swallow it, and I couldn't spit it out.

"That's just a little girl..."

He tried his best not to sound too disappointed, but the hoarseness of his tone had already betrayed his true emotions.

Even if Xie Yun can explain a sentence, even if he only gives a pale and false excuse.

But Xie Yun didn't say anything, didn't even move, just stood there silently.

Shan Chao finally closed his eyes heavily.At this time, there was another muffled sound from far away, although it was slight, it was like a sharp little hook, piercing deeply into Shan Chao's heart and hooking a trace of flesh and blood—he shook his head and took a deep breath, not daring to hesitate anymore, turning around to The servant's room in the distance swoops away!

Behind him, Xie Yun slowly stretched his hand to the back of his waist, and pulled out Tai'a sword with a clang.

·

Shan Chao's move can be called a rabbit's ups and downs, and he came to the door of the servant's room in an instant, and kicked the door open with a slamming kick.All the movements inside stopped abruptly, and then He Lanmin's panicked voice sounded: "Who is it?!"

Pei Ziliu couldn't help crying anymore: "Help, help!"

Shan Chao strode into the room, stretched out his hand and lifted He Lanminzhi, and punched him in the face involuntarily!

Shan Chao's furious punch actually left room for it, otherwise He Lanminzhi's brains would be blown out of his ears on the spot.But He Lanminzhi was a rich man, he couldn't stand it at all, he fell to the ground with a bang on the spot, his eyes turned black and his ears roared, when he came back to his senses, his mouth was full of fishy sweetness, and he spit out half of his teeth.

"Who dares...it's you?!"

Shan Chao turned around and pulled Pei Ziliu up, only to see that the little girl was crying so much that she couldn't tell who she was, she just stretched out her hands and screamed.Shan Chao caught a glimpse of her with little clothes left on her body, and his heart that was suspended due to shock and anger finally let go of half, and he tore off his coat to wrap her around, and shouted: "Don't be afraid! Don't cry, it's me! "

Pei Ziliu was trembling all over, he could barely see who was coming through his tearful eyes, and immediately rushed over with a "Wow!", "Help...help me, Brother Shan, help me!..."

"It's okay, don't be afraid," Shan Chao comforted a few words indiscriminately, then reached out and pulled Pei Ziliu up to take her away.But the terrified little girl couldn't stand anymore, hastily Zhong Shanchao had to hug her with one hand, then turned around and saw He Lanminzhi get up from the ground with red eyes, a burst of anger hit her throat, and she caught a glimpse of the round table beside the bed out of the corner of her eye There seemed to be a teapot on the table, so I reached out to grab it, and squeezed it hard.

With Shan Chao's palm strength, there was only a sound of "cha", and the body of the pot broke into two neatly in his palm.Shan Chao casually threw half of it away, pinched the other half to reveal a sharp cut, and went straight to He Lan Minzhi.

"What do you want to do?" He Lanminzhi managed to hold on to the wall to stabilize his body, and said angrily, "Xie didn't tell you who I am?"

Shan Chao punched him in the face, and the flesh-and-blood relationship triggered a chilling crisp sound, and He Lanminzhi was punched out again!

Pei Ziliu screamed in fright and struggled desperately.Shan Chao held the little girl firmly, and while comforting her, he lifted his foot and stepped heavily on He Lanminzhi's stomach. Although his face was calm, there was an evil fire in his heart that could not find an outlet, forcing him to Want to go crazy.

——He didn't know where the evil fire came from, because of the tragic situation of the little girl?He Lanminzhi's bestiality?

Or is it because of another kind of deeper disappointment and - anger?

"Bastard," Shan Chao stared condescendingly at He Lanminzhi's flushed face, and answered coldly, holding the sharp porcelain piece and stabbing down.

In fact, his stabbing was not for death, but to damage He Lanminzhi's waist and kidney meridians - martial arts practitioners are familiar with the meridians and acupoints, as long as he stabs at a certain point, he can turn He Lanminzhi into an incapable person. A useless person in personnel affairs will no longer be able to harm other people's little girls. It can be said that the retribution is not good.

However, He Lanminzhi was not as tough as he imagined. Men who indulge in sensuality are always more timid. When they saw the sharp broken horns of the porcelain piece pierced off, their first reaction was that they were killing him, and immediately yelled: "Stop it!" ! You can’t kill me! You want everyone to know about this?!”

Shan Chao's hand froze.

"You killed me, and you still think that this matter can be covered? Don't look at the empress who appreciates you now, when the time comes, you will be executed and all your families will be confiscated..."

Shan Chao raised his voice and smiled, his eyes were full of undisguised disdain: "Shan has no father and no mother, and he doesn't have a full family. Anyone who wants to copy it can copy it. The big deal—"

At worst, go back to the desert to hunt and graze horses. The sky and the earth are big, where is there no place to hide?

As for those delusional thoughts that cannot be opened up, after tonight, they should be thoroughly recognized.

A hot soreness was forcibly suppressed by the ruthless anger, and Shan Chao stepped on He Lanmin's body hard, but he heard him hissing intermittently: "Okay...okay, you have the guts! But you Not afraid of people knowing, this little girl, isn't this little girl surnamed Pei afraid of people knowing?!"

Shan Chao was taken aback for a moment, even Pei Ziliu was so frightened that he cried in fear.

"If this matter can't be covered up, it's because you ruined her reputation! At that time, you don't have to pursue it, the Pei family will hang her with a white silk! It's best to send it to the temple, hehe, Qingdenggu Buddha has been a vegetarian all his life, let's see if the Pei family in Hedong is grateful to you, or they want to kill you?!"

Pei Ziliu's tearful eyes widened suddenly, his eyes seemed to be frozen, and his face was pale.

At that moment, Shan Chao suddenly remembered the feeling when he faced the charred black female corpse in front of the main hall of Forging Sword Manor.

From the south of the Yangtze River to the capital, from the rivers and lakes to the court, this world is the same for the weak - the same paleness, the same helplessness.

Shan Chao looked at Pei Ziliu, the little girl's lips were trembling, her whole body was as cold as ice, and then she looked over quickly.If her gaze could be turned into substance, it must be a wet and dying hand that was desperately reaching for the driftwood.

"..." Shan Chao let go of He Lanminzhi's foot and stepped back half a step.

He Lanminzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body was covered with cold sweat, and before he regained the strength to get up from the collapse, he just listened to Shan Chao coldly said: "If people know a word about this..."

Before He Lanmin could sneer, Shan Chao raised his hand flatly, his palm clenched into a fist, and there was a slight crackling sound.

He spread out his palm, and the porcelain tile was already covered with white ash.

He Lanmin's pupils suddenly constricted, and Shan Chao said in a deep voice, "This is what will happen to you."

·

Deep in the inner court.

The tree shadows swayed in the darkness, sending out countless rustling sounds, like a group of snakes passing through the treetops.

There was a long and slow sound of metal rubbing when Tai Ah was unsheathed, Xie Yun narrowed his eyes, and the eyelashes pressed into thick shadows at the ends.In the shadows, a little coldness shone brightly from the bottom of his pupils, and as the dark clouds in the night sky gradually covered the moon, the coldness became thinner and sharper.

"Yin, Kai, Yang," he said softly and word by word.

The sound of footsteps mixed with the sound of branches and leaves finally approached from far away, and a condescending figure appeared on the top of a tree not far away.

——He seems to be walking step by step from high in the sky. If someone who doesn't know it sees it, he might think it's Da Luo Jinxian descending from the earth.But Xie Yun knows that it is actually the reason why the lightness kungfu has reached the highest level. Although it is known as the best lightness kungfu in the world in a century, its actual effect is mostly——

"A good apprentice should be able to replace you, but you actually asked the apprentice to save you." The visitor stopped in his tracks, condescendingly, and said with a smile: "Yin Tianqing, you are so wrong."

"Pretending to be a ghost." Xie Yun said softly.

On Yin Kaiyang's face was a silver mask that was exactly the same as Xie Yun's, and his face could not be seen clearly, but the outline of the lower half of his face was much stiffer and deeper.He stood on the tallest branch. The branch was as thin as a fingertip, and the branch was only slightly bent. The whole person seemed to be standing in the air. He could only see the black robe rising in the night wind, like a high-altitude eagle.

And Xie Yun's robe sleeves in the lower place are facing the wind, standing with a sword, raising his hand to pick the hair on the sideburns that was blown to the front of the body behind the ears, the profile of his face in the shadows is like a whole piece of cold white ice sculpture, only the corners of the eyes A little cold glowing green.

The two faced each other from a distance, Xie Yun tightened his hand holding the hilt of the sword by his side, only to hear Yin Kaiyang suddenly said leisurely: "That's not right, Xie Yun. You don't know how to play tricks, what about the Four Saints family?" Will it survive to this day? Why are you and I standing here?"

His voice was not very high, maybe a little low, but every word was clearly heard in his ears, as if the speaker was close at hand.

Xie Yun didn't pick up the conversation, and stared straight at him and asked, "The secret door has been away from the capital for several years, and the forces in Jianghu are developing like the sky, why do you want to come back all of a sudden?"

Yin Kaiyang snorted, "What did you just say?"

"Why do you suddenly have to..."

"last sentence."

"...the forces in the Jianghu are at the height of their power."

"That's right. Now that you have dominated the Jianghu, the next step is to return to the court, otherwise you will always be in the middle of the Jianghu?"

Xie Yun's expression changed slightly, but Yin Kaiyang's attitude was leisurely, as if he just recounted a few old words in a casual way, and even the smile on his face didn't change a bit.

"...Shenguimen hasn't dominated the rivers and lakes yet." After a long while, Xie Yun finally said, "Wudang, Shaolin, Huashan, Kongtong, and famous sects are all over the mountains and rivers. A new martial arts leader will still be elected..."

Yin Kaiyang interrupted him, seeming to find it very amused: "Why do you think I have to make this trip myself?"

Xie Yun took half a step back, only to see Yin Kaiyang suddenly lift his foot from the end of the treetop—his whole body seemed to pause in the void, and then disappeared.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Xie Yun out of thin air, and stretched out his hand to press Xie Yun's chest!

A cold and turbulent flood-like energy forcefully penetrated into the big hole on his chest, and the fishy sweetness surged up Xie Yun's throat in an instant, and he swallowed it back forcefully, and flew back with his body!

The whole process happened in a blink of an eye. At the same moment when Xie Yun's figure moved, Tai'a's sword had already slashed from bottom to top from a very tricky and concealed angle-this slash can be called the essence of swordsmanship. Absolutely, but Yin Kaiyang seemed to have eyes all over his body, and he turned away with only a slight mistake.

Immediately afterwards, he drew the saber with his backhand, and the moment the saber was unsheathed, it seemed as if an invisible black air gushed out, "Dang!" With a loud sound, it hit Tai'a Jianfeng who was slashing obliquely!

Lightning flashed along the clashing swords and reflected in the eyes of both of them at the same time.

Xie Yun drew back his sword, but Tai Ah was locked tightly by the black gold long knife, and the two of them could not keep apart for more than half a foot, and they almost crossed the inner court of the palace close to each other.In the darkness, countless rockery trees, pavilions, pavilions and pavilions roared forward from Xie Yun's side, his qinggong became faster and faster, almost pushed to the extreme, and the cold green light in his eyes became more and more intense——

"You have already opened the seal once to deal with Jing Ling in Forging Sword Manor." Yin Kaiyang smiled and said: "Do you open it again to want to die here suddenly?"

The corner of Xie Yun's eyes twitched, and he felt the direction of the wind change behind him. A towering ancient tree blocked his way of retreating, and it was too late to dodge it.

At this moment, the exposed skin of Yin Kaiyang's body changed, and the tattoo with subtle white light spread from the back to the front of the body, and soon stretched along the neck to the face, and even extended along the arm to the knuckle holding the knife, and then Climb up the black gold blade!

Every word of Xie Yun seemed to come out from between his teeth: "Xuan-wu-yin..."

Yin Kaiyang smiled, swung the saber, and the long saber wrapped in the huge power of Xuanwu Kaiyin was invincible, pressing down the Tai'a sword inch by inch.

Immediately afterwards, when Xie Yun's back was about to have no choice but to touch the tree, he raised his other hand that was already covered with totems, and gently and carelessly pressed the palm of Xie Yun's left heart.

--boom!

In fact, there was no sound, but in Xie Yun's ears, it was as if the internal organs burst at the same time, the muscles, bones and blood vessels were cut off inch by inch, and the whole world turned into dead silence after the roar.

Half of his body was embedded in the tree trunk alive, and countless cracks spread rapidly in all directions centered on him, and then the whole big tree made a muffled sound of shaking from the root.

The blood from Xie Yun's throat finally spurted out.

Whoa!

As soon as the blood splashed down, Yin Kaiyang lowered his head in astonishment, only to see Xie Yun's left hand was hanging down weakly, holding half of the blood-stained scabbard in his palm - and the sharp severed end of the scabbard was inserted from under his right rib. of.

At the critical moment, Xie Yun used his last internal force to break the Tai'a white gold scabbard, and used this as a blade to stab Yin Kaiyang backhand!

"Cough, cough, cough..." Yin Kaiyang covered the wound, wiped the blood gushing from the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "As expected, I taught it, very good...the skills of the year have not been completely lost."

The tattoo quickly receded from his body to his back, the shimmer faded and disappeared, as if it had never happened before.At the same time, the stab wound under his right rib gradually stopped bleeding, and soon even the pain disappeared.

When the seal is opened, the body functions to the extreme, and the bone-piercing wounds can be healed quickly; however, after the seal is opened, it will immediately enter a period of gradually accelerating weakness, and even shorten the life expectancy drastically. This is the law that countless people have been unable to avoid for a long time , except for one person, Yin Kaiyang.

Yin Kaiyang shook the wet blood on the hem of his clothes, walked up to Xie Yun's ear to feel for his pulse, and he could feel a faint pulse with his fingertips.

"He's not dead," he said softly, though he couldn't hear regret.

Xie Yun's eyes were half-closed, and his eyes were loose under the eyelashes. If you don't look carefully, you can't find that the chest is still rising and falling slightly.His face was almost a piece of thin and transparent rice paper, the only part with color was his lips, because they were soaked in blood, under the moonlight they showed a kind of desolation that was particularly shocking and charming.

Yin Kaiyang approached slightly, and said leisurely in his ear: "Listen up."

"——The first emperor collected all the soldiers from all over the world, gathered them in Xianyang, and sold them as the twelve men of gold and gold, and from then on, he ruled the country for all generations. Heroes use martial arts to break the ban, so the imperial power is stable, and the soldiers must be sold first. in this way."

"Forging Sword Village's interrupted martial arts conference is held on Mount Tai, which is a rare opportunity."

Xie Yun's slack focus finally gradually gathered, and he lifted his fingers spasmodically.

"Don't move." Yin Kaiyang held down his bloody fingers and said with a smile, "You can't use force for three months, you should rest."

Then he took a few steps back, and greeted politely, with a friendly tone as if reunited with old people: "——you just need to open your eyes to see what is pretending to be a ghost, and what is real...manipulating ghosts..."

·

Qiantai Hall.

The muffled sound of trees shaking came along the ground, and the emperor on the dragon bed opened his eyes, sat up in panic and exclaimed: "Queen, queen!"

"What's the matter? What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Empress Wu woke up suddenly, and she didn't even have time to put on her clothes. She put on her pajamas and stretched out her hand to caress the emperor's back, while turning her head and shouting: "Come here! Your Majesty is frightened, serve the soothing tea!"

The emperor grabbed Empress Wu's greasy wrist, waved his hand to signal that he didn't need tea, and took several breaths before he managed to stabilize his heart that was beating in his throat: "I... I had a dream..."

Empress Wu frowned and said, "Dream?"

The emperor nodded in cold sweat, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.After a while he hesitated and said hoarsely: "I dreamed... Mount Tai opened, and there are twelve... twelve golden men reaching the sky..."

A confidant maid walked quickly into the Qiantai Hall with Anshen Tea, lifted the bed curtain, and quietly attached it to Empress Wu's ear and whispered something.

Empress Wu nodded to signal her to back down, and then turned to the emperor after deliberating for a moment.

"Your Majesty," she said in a soft but suspicious tone, "Yin Kaiyang of the secret door... is asking to see him outside the hall."
