Jianghu is so big

The fire box lights the oil lamp, which illuminates the house brightly and darkly.

The wooden windows, tables and chairs are all crumbling, and the ones near the air vents will fall off with a light touch.The only well-preserved furniture in the house is a wooden cabinet in the corner. Because it is placed in a shelter from the wind, it can barely be seen.

Zhao Mingchuan put on the Tencel gloves, and carefully opened the door of the cabinet. With a harsh "squeak", fine dust rose in the air.There were no dirty things in the cabinet, only a few thin clothes neatly folded, and a black bag and a dark red purple sand teapot were placed under it.

Li Sui picked up the teapot, it was light and fluffy, not a valuable item.However, it can be seen that the owner of the teapot once cherished it very much, there is no slight bump, and the handle and spout are shiny with oil, which is quite old.

Zhao Mingchuan took out the rest of the things one by one, laid them flat under the lamp, and said, "It seems that they are all young people's clothes. They look slender, and they are at most sixteen or seventeen years old."

As for the baggage, it is wrapped in a wooden box, which contains sewing kits, handkerchiefs, wine bags, fishhooks, and a piece of broken fishing net. There are twenty or thirty items in total, and the things that are easy to be bumped are wrapped in cloth towels. with.

Adding all these things together, it is very consistent with Yuan Yexing's characteristics.A young man, thin and small, from a fishing village in the East China Sea. His family was originally harmonious, but his parents died in a shipwreck. So he packed all the memories of his family into this wooden box, and brought him from his hometown to the snowfield.

Zhao Mingchuan was puzzled: "If this is the case, then he should cherish these possessions very much. Why did he stay in the stone house and not come back for many years?"

Li Sui didn't answer, just picked up the oil lamp on the table, walked around the wall, and finally stopped at the north and south corners.

Zhao Mingchuan also followed. Seeing this, he immediately gasped.

The stone used to build this stone house is hard basalt, and it takes a lot of work to polish it. It often takes three or five strong men to start working at the same time, and it can be shaped bit by bit with patience. It is reasonable to say that it should be impossible to split with a knife, and it cannot be cracked by fire. That's right.But at this time, on the wall illuminated by the lights, there were finger marks one after another, with different shades, mottled and uneven, and some places were even darker, looking like dried human blood.

Zhao Mingchuan was horrified, and hurriedly lit the tinder box, and checked the rest of the stone walls again, and sure enough, he found more scratches and many strange shallow pits, and the pits were often accompanied by blood, as if someone had punched them hard It was smashed out.Because the color of the basalt is very dark, it is not easy to detect. If it is replaced with a light white wall, I am afraid that the blood stains all over the place will already scare everyone to death.

Li Sui used his sword to sweep away the old cotton wadding on the bed, and found a rusty steel cable from a corner, one end was broken, and the other end was tied to an iron stake buried deep in the ground.

Zhao Mingchuan saw the clue: "This is a prison."

Moreover, the people imprisoned here must have suffered great pain all day long, so they left so many shocking traces.Since Yuan Yeyue insisted that this is his brother's residence, and the clothes in the closet really looked like Yuan Yexing's, then...

Li Sui said: "He is dead."

Zhao Mingchuan was taken aback: "Yu Yexing?"

Li Sui glanced at him.

Zhao Mingchuan may also realize that this question is a bit redundant, so in order to make himself not look so stupid, he hastily added another sentence: "But if he dies, who is An?"

"Chitian."

There are rumors in the world that Chi Tian pays more attention to An than other protectors, and even taught him Kung Fu himself, and the killing methods of the two are indeed very similar, and sometimes they can even be called exactly the same.

Zhao Mingchuan was even more surprised. He briefly looked at the relationship between them. Yuan Yexing had been dead for a long time, and the master "Dark" who was active in the Jianghu was actually Chi Tian pretending to be?

Therefore, there are actually only fifteen Dharma protectors in the Burning Fire Palace, and there has never been a so-called "darkness".

Or there was, but obviously, not for long.

The two took the contents of the cabinet down the mountain.

Zhu Yanyin was still awake. When he heard the doorbell, he immediately threw off the quilt and ran out of bed, not even wrapping his cloak in time.

Li followed the order: "Stop and don't move."

I wish the second son's warmly extended hand stopped in mid-air, why!

Li Sui said: "I just touched something of a dead person."

Zhu Yanyin took three quick steps back, okay, don't go to bed until after taking a shower.

Changing face is so fast.

The clean-loving Mr. Jiangnan lay in bed for a long time. Li Suicai came out from behind the screen. He wiped his hair with one hand, and his lips were so steamed by the heat that he was... ah, it's hard to describe, and his clothes were still open. The trousers are also loose and baggy. Such a scheming and attractive shape can be seen at a glance and is intentional.So Zhu Yanyin cleared her throat and suggested, why don't you fasten your belt first.

Li Sui leaned against him: "Too lazy to fasten."

Zhu Yanyin: "Okay, let's not talk about it, let's get down to business, what's in the stone house on the mountain, and who is the dead person?"

Li Sui: "Too lazy to say."

Zhu Yanyin: "?"

Li Sui stretched out two slender fingers, slowly pinched his neck like a small animal, and said lazily, "Guess for yourself, if you guess right, I'll show you something good in two days."

Zhu Yanyin: Likes and hates fun, big devil.

Li Sui looked at him with interest.

Zhu Yanyin: "Just guess!"

He sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt: "You went to find Ye Yexing, but you haven't brought anyone back now. You also said that there are dead people on the mountain, so Ye Yexing is dead."

Li Sui nodded: "Yes."

"Yuan Yeyue insists that her younger brother is still alive, and he is the protector of the Burning Fire Temple, so she must either be out of her mind or be deceived. I guess it's the latter."

"continue."

"The only person who can lie to her is Chi Tian. The reason Chi Tian wants to lie to Yuan Yeyue is because Yuan Yeyue is still valuable. Whether it helps him kill people or help him practice kung fu, he wants her to be used by him willingly. "

"Almost." Li Sui said, "I found Yuan Yexing's belongings on the mountain, all belonging to Donghai Fishing Village. There are still many bloodstains and traces of impact on the wall. He seems to have died in an unsafe manner. Judging from the damage of the stone house , it has been vacant for at least two or three years.”

"What about the corpse?"

"did not find."

Behind the stone house is a cliff of ten thousand zhang, and the peak is full of snow and snow all year round. If Chi Tian had thrown him off the mountain, it would have been covered in thick snow and ice, and it is unlikely to be found.

"So Yuan Ye Xing is dead, it's just your speculation." Zhu Yanyin returned to Li Sui and lay down, "But judging from the situation in the stone house, I also think he is probably dead, otherwise he wouldn't have thrown his parents' belongings on the mountain , I haven’t looked back for so long.”

Li Sui continued to play with pinching his neck lightly and hard: "Yes."

"But it's not right." Zhu Yanyin got up again, "Although Lin Xuefeng is steep and precipitous, Yuan Yeyue is also a master. She loves her brother so much, why hasn't she been up there for so many years?"

Li Sui said, "Maybe she wanted to, but she didn't dare."

Zhu Yanyin thought for a while: "You mean Chi Tian doesn't allow her to go up?"

"In fact, there is no need to explicitly prohibit it. Just say that Yuan Yexing doesn't want to see her, otherwise he will leave Lin Xuefeng and never come back. That is enough for Yuan Yeyue to stay at the foot of the mountain obediently."

"Then she really likes this younger brother." Zhu Yanyin rested her chin on his chest, "If Ye Yexing is really dead, she must avenge him, and then she won't help Chi Tian anymore. We will start tomorrow Take those old things and see how she reacts."

"it is good."

Zhu Yanyin still wanted to analyze the situation again, but Li Sui had already pressed his whole body over, pressed his head against his chest, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm tired."

There is even a little coquettish tone in it.

Faced with this monster's attitude, the average scholar probably wouldn't be able to stand it, and his knees would be weak, but fortunately, Second Master Zhu is not an ordinary scholar, so he grabbed the other person's hair and emphasized: "If you are tired, just sleep quietly. Don't take the opportunity to bite me."

Li Sui bit the one-inch belt with his teeth lightly, looked up lazily at him and smiled, what kind of enchantress in the story book, with red lips and white teeth, captivating, eyes melted with a spring drizzle, blinking There will be a surge in the apex of the heart.

No, something will happen.

Zhu Yanyin pulled off the quilt neatly and covered his head.

Li Sui started laughing again, laughing against the quilt, trembling wildly, not caring about his image as a super cold big devil at all.Zhu Yanyin blushed a little from the laughter, she simply turned her back to him and wanted to sleep, no longer caring about this weird joke, but in the end she was snatched away by a man with a quilt, this time it was not biting her clothes, but biting the tip of her nose , biting his ear, biting his chin and Adam's apple, and when he went down, the Second Young Master Zhu started to run around covering his clothes, but Palace Master Li's fighting power was enough to hold down ten scholars with one finger.

So Jiangnan Kuo Shao was suppressed.

The thin moisture at the tip of the heart surged into waves, washing all limbs and bones limp.He bit the back of his hand, and tried to push him with the other hand, but was held firmly instead, sore and numb.

After a while, he finally couldn't take it anymore and kicked him.

Li Sui let go of his hand, covered his whole body, pinched his chin and kissed him tenderly.Zhu Yanyin hurriedly turned her head: "You go wash first—"

More voices were drawn into the tip of the tongue.

Li Sui hugged him, kissing him madly and pamperingly, with such a little bit of strong oppression that the other party had no room to struggle and could only cater to him, until finally Zhu Yanyin started to cough with difficulty breathing, then let go, and again He bit his reddened nose.

On a winter night in Syracuse, it was as humid as a plum rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

The next morning, Zhu Yanyin rinsed her mouth three times, but Zhu Xiaosui really didn't understand: "What did you eat?"

Zhu Yanyin trembled, picked up the cup she had just put down, and swiped it a fourth time.

Zhu Xiaosui: "..."

Yuan Yeyue had been looking forward to the whole night, and kept pricking up her ears to listen to the movement outside. When the voice finally came, she wanted to rush to the door, but suddenly stopped, and hurriedly wiped her hands with her dirty sleeves. With a dirtier face and messy hair tied up again, in the eyeballs that have been cloudy and dim for several days, a little bit of anticipation is rarely born.

As a result, when the door was opened, there were still only Li Sui and Zhu Yanyin.

The brilliance on Yuan Yeyue's face suddenly faded, and she asked anxiously and sharply, "Where is Ah Xing!"

"He's not at the top of Lin Xuefeng."

"impossible!"

"The stone house is empty." Zhu Yanyin said, "But we found some things, it should be left there by your brother."

The shadow guard brought in the baggage, took out the things and spread them out one by one, teapot, wine bag, fishing gear, handkerchief... Yuan Yeyue stared blankly at first, then suddenly became anxious again, rushed forward and desperately put those familiar old things on the bag Zhongshou kept repeating in his mouth: "Put these things back quickly, otherwise Ah Xing won't be able to see them when he goes back, he will be angry, he will be angry, hurry up!"

"He's not going back."

Yuan Yeyue stopped and turned around suddenly: "What do you mean?"

"The stone house has been vacant for a long time, and everything is weathered and decayed." Zhu Yanyin said, "There is no one living there at all, we only found this baggage."

"Where are the Axing people?"

"Who told you that Ye Yexing lives in Lin Xuefeng, Chi Tian?"

"... Ah Xing lives there. You guys are lying to me. Yes, he was injured, so he must have gone to another place."

"Where did you go?"

"How do I know?" Yuan Yeyue looked at Li Sui fiercely, "You didn't bring him back."

"The stone house is full of bloodstains from struggles. If your brother really lives there, his life will not be very good." Li Sui reminded coldly.

Yuan Yeyue's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard the word "bloodstain".

Zhu Yanyin probed: "For so many years, you have never gone up to see it once? Those bloodstains are very old, and they seem to be at least two or three years old, not like they were left recently."

Yuan Yeyue murmured: "No, it's impossible, Ah Xing lives there."

"Your younger brother did live there, otherwise we wouldn't be able to find these burdens." Zhu Yanyin said, "But what happened after he lived in the stone house may be different from what Chi Tian told you, you'd better be more careful. Think about it."

Yuan Yeyue looked at the old things in her arms, these were the things that her younger brother cherished, and she was never allowed to touch them too much.

Although the siblings agreed to follow Chi Tian to the north, the tense relationship between them did not ease.From Donghai fishing village to Xuecheng, Yuan Yexing stayed by Chi Tian's side all the time, and he didn't want to look at his sister more, and Chi Tian obviously admired Yuan Yexing more. He not only taught him the Moon Devouring Dafa, but also practiced kung fu with him.

Yuanye Xing was the "tool" chosen by Chi Tian at first, to dissolve the internal energy of others, but later, he may have been unable to practice martial arts, and he went into a state of madness once on the way, and since then he has been suffering from cold and fever, which has been delayed for two months Didn't see any good either.

On the night when everyone shared Li Sui's internal energy, Yuan Yexing was also the first to be pushed forward by Chi Tian, ​​but he didn't share much internal energy, and soon staggered away from the snow, saying that he wanted to go back to rest.

After that, Yuan Yeyue never saw him at close range again. All the news about his younger brother came from Chi Tian's mouth—that he lived in Lin Xuefeng, that he didn't want to see her, and that he didn't even want to go on missions together. It is said that his skill is improving by leaps and bounds, and he will soon become a famous martial arts master.

And the facts also proved that Chi Tian did not lie.The boy wearing the black mask quickly became a feared existence in the Jianghu. He personally created one family after another with his own hands, easily and effortlessly.

Yuan Yeyue is very grateful to Chi Tian.

I am so grateful that four years ago, when Chi Tian suddenly asked her if she would like to practice Yue Yue together, the first thing Yuan Ye Yue thought of was not the pain as a tool, but asked anxiously: "What about A Xing?"

"His kung fu is already very good, there is no need for me to divide his internal energy." Chi Tian looked down at her, "And your aptitude is limited, if you only practice hard with your head covered, you may get farther and farther away from him. "

four years ago.

Four years.

Yuan Yeyue anxiously recalled that she had seen the evidence of her younger brother in the past four years, but soon she found almost desperately, no, not once.Every time what she saw was only a black figure wearing a mask in the distance, it was as fast as a gust of wind, she didn't dare to get close, she just vaguely felt that her younger brother had grown up to the point where even she began to feel strange, Almost unrecognizable.

"A Xing..."

"If you don't believe the bloodstains in the room, we can take you there to see it." Zhu Yanyin said, "But if I were you, I would think about where else he might go, especially where Chi Tian would take him. "

Yuan Yeyue clutched the teapot so tightly that her fingers were numb. She was extremely flustered, but there was still a glimmer of hope left.Practicing Chewing Moon requires an extremely cold ice room. The reason why Chi Tian took Yuanye Xing to Lin Xuefeng was because it was extremely high and cold.She swallowed hard, and said in a trembling voice: "I have heard from the leader that there are many natural ice caves on the top of Lin Xuefeng, which can make the practice more effective. Ah Xing may have gone there because of injury."

……

This time, when they went to the top of the snow mountain, there were many more disciples from Wanren Palace and Mingjianmen, and the guards of Zhu Mansion followed suit.Zhao Mingchuan still followed Li Sui every step of the way, because he really admired him in his heart—who wouldn't admire the number one in the world?And the other party didn't drive him away ruthlessly and indifferently, isn't this a default?Then there is no reason not to follow?

It was the first time that the very cruel big devil felt the pressure of worldly ways.

Young Master Zhao didn't know that if it wasn't for the advice of the Second Young Master Zhu Ai, he might have been precariously hanging on the mountainside.

Li Sui waved away a pile of rocks.

Zhao Mingchuan also cut down the ice and snow with a sword.

Li Sui: "..."

Lin Xuefeng is towering, but the place is not big. It looks like a stalagmite stuck in the snow alone. Because of the wind, most of the ice caves are formed on the south side, so it is easy to find.

The shadow guards turned over one by one, and finally found a corpse in the ice cave at the bottom. Because it was covered by layers of ice, it looked complete. It was dressed in black and curled up. Hey, only the exposed hands have turned into bones, brittle like glass, and will fall off when touched.

Zhao Mingchuan was surprised: "Is this Yuan Ye Xing?"

"I don't know." Li Sui looked at the ice cube, "I'm afraid his sister will have to personally identify it."
