The boundless desert.

The wind passed by leisurely, raising a bunch of silver sand, erasing the footprints of the two.

Tang He followed Lu Jie silently, but felt that Lu Jie's words along the way were less than usual when the two of them were alone, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.

Xiao Chu's plan was to assassinate him on the way back from this trip to the Western Regions.In exchange for Su Liyue's token of contact with Tian Xuanying, Xiao Chu asked him to cooperate with him to take the head of Lu Jiexiang.

He raised his head and stared silently at Lu Jie in front of him—although he didn't intend to make this deal with Xiao Chu just so honestly, but it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to test Lu Jie's true strength.

stopped.

The two were in front of the stone tablet at the foot of the Holy Sepulchre Mountain. Lu Jie looked up at the holy flame shining in the desert on the top of the light, and stopped in place for a moment.

"Don't you want to go back to Mingjiao?" Tang He asked.

Lu Jie gave a low laugh, and the indistinct emotion in his eyes just now disappeared immediately. "If I can, I really don't want to come back."

Tang He followed Lu Jie's footsteps, and occasionally paid more attention to the villagers who came to pilgrimage on the road. "If I remember correctly, Mingjiao is not like some Central Plains sects, and they don't have such a big resistance to camp affiliation."

"It's just that I'm too lazy to come back after being away for a long time."

They didn't go back to the Holy Sepulcher in their original plan. They only found out when they came to the desert. They happened to catch up with the day when Mingjiao disciples bought Suoyang. All were taken.

Lu Jie left the camel in the middle of the mountain. Tang He thought he was going to the Bright Summit, but just as he was about to take the step, Lu Jie grabbed his hand.

"Take you up." Lu Jie smiled.

Tang He didn't guess what Lu Jie meant, but was dragged away for a few steps, before he could even stand still, the figure of the man in the white robe suddenly flashed in front of him, and then Tang He's own center of gravity tilted. down-

"...?!"

Just like that, Tang He led Lu Jie down the cliff. Looking at the bottomless abyss below, it was almost as if he was about to unfold the wings of a mechanism, but Lu Jie stretched out his arms and grabbed Tang He.Tang He couldn't react. He turned around and saw Lu Jie. With his right hand free, he threw a machete out. The chain on the handle of the knife was stretched accordingly. The chain on the forearm, exerting strength, along the chain, took Tang He up into the air.

He heard Lu Jie murmuring. "you say……"

The forward force just disappeared, and the figures of the two stopped for a second under the full moon.

The deep and magnetic voice is like a legend that has been passed down in the desert for thousands of years, with an extremely attractive mysterious charm.

"If we just fall like this, will you push me away?"

The copper bell rang, and the ethereal voice gradually spread.The white robe fluttered with the wind, and the bright moonlight in the distance gilded the outline of Lu Jie's side face. For a moment, Tang He felt that Lu Jie was a beautiful leopard.

"Maybe." Tang He replied.

The retracted long knife returned to his hand, just as the eagle roared and flapped its wings, passing smoothly, just in time to catch the two people who were about to fall.

"Hurry up."

Lu Jie reminded that Tang He had just grasped it firmly, only to feel his whole body leaning back.The brown wings swept across a long arc, swaying unhurriedly around the stone barrier in front, and suddenly the sight was lifted up—the eagle straightened up and charged, and the piercing wind rushed towards the face , forcing people to close their eyes.

Approaching the darkness, there was an extra hand behind him to support him.

There was a moment of ups and downs.The speed slowed down again, Tang He opened his eyes, and saw that he had already reached the top of the Holy Sepulcher Mountain.

Lu Jie took him to the ground and stood still.

It is on a spacious platform under the Guangming Peak, the place is very large, and there are more Mingjiao disciples walking around than at the foot of the mountain, and they are dressed similarly to Lu Jie.Not only that, according to the breath, there are many Mingjiao disciples who erased their own figures nearby, which makes people feel as if they are being stared at by eyes in the dark, even if they are behind Lu Jie. Dare to relax a little vigilance.

As soon as he took a step, he felt a sudden chill.Tang He stretched out his hand and just pressed the receiver on the back of his waist, only two horizontal and vertical white lights flashed in front of his eyes, and the sound of weapons colliding shook his ears.In the blink of an eye, an unfamiliar scimitar came close to his neck, but was blocked by Lu Jie's blade.

I don't know when there was a woman beside him, with the same silver curly hair as Lu Jie, blue and gold pupils, and red lips slightly parted.

"Ah……"

The voice sounded very young.Seeing her raise the corner of her mouth, Tang He slowly withdrew her two swords, and Lu Jie also retracted his King Ming Prison behind his back.

"Brother Motha hasn't come back to visit me for hundreds of years. Why did he bring an outsider today? What's the name of this little brother?" The woman didn't look at Lu Jie, but stared at Tang He with a smile. With a cold look on his face, He went a step further and put his elbow on Tang He's shoulder. "Are people in the Central Plains so repulsed by thousands of miles away?"

Lu Jie smiled as if watching a show with his chest folded, "I'm afraid he won't accept your tricks, Suyer."

Tang He frowned intentionally or unintentionally and stared at Lu Jie, then turned his head, so he had no choice but to move Suyer's hand away, and took a step back.

"I'm next to Tang He."

"Oh, what's the relationship between little brother Tang and my brother?" With his fingers resting on his red lips, Suyer looked at the cold man in front of him with great interest, and there was a hint of evil in his eyes. "My brother has always been a loner in the church, it's really rare to see someone else in a hundred years—"

Lu Jie saw that Tang He seemed a little embarrassed to be asked such a question, pursed his lips as if he didn't want to answer, so he stepped forward to block Su Yier for Tang He, and brought the topic back. "Little sister is so curious, why don't you take me to find the medicinal materials first, let's talk slowly on the way?"

After hearing Lu Jie's words, Suyer turned around and asked Lu Jie, "Huh? Brother Mosa came to get the medicine? Are you injured?"

"Colleagues are injured, Cynomorium is urgently needed in the Valley of the Wicked."

"Oh, unfortunately, the manager went down the mountain to see a doctor for the villagers, and he won't be back in two hours, um..." Suyer blinked, "Why don't Brother Mosa and Brother Tang go shopping nearby first? visit?"

Lu Jie thought for a while in silence. The amount of medicinal materials they took was quite large, and it really wouldn't work without the manager's personal approval.Right now, I can only listen to Suyer and walk around with Tang He first.

Coincidentally, I also wanted to take Tang He to Sanshengshu.

"That's fine, when the manager comes back, remember to send a letter."

Lu Jie and Suyer were about to say goodbye, but Suyer over there stretched out his hand and pulled Lu Jie a step closer. Tang He didn't follow, but kept the distance.Before Lu Jie could speak, Suyer came over and asked Lu Jie to lower his head, his red lips almost pressed against Lu Jie's ears, and his voice was extremely low.

"Be careful, the smell on that little brother is not right."

Lu Jie didn't answer, just smiled as usual, turned around and left with Tang He.

"Miss Suyle is your sister?"

"No."

The camel stepped on the soft white sand and walked forward without haste.Lu Jie turned around and continued to explain, "She was separated from her brother when she was very young. When she met her back then, she saw that we both had silver hair and the same blue-gold eyes, so she forced me to say that I was him. Brother."

Tang He lowered his eyes, "I remember that you were also abandoned in the desert when you were young and adopted as a killer. How did you decide that she is not your family?"

Lu Jie pointed to his eyes. "If the color of my pupils is exactly the opposite of Suyle's, then it might be a family member. There are so many coincidences in the world, and people don't want to believe that they are coincidences—"

The camel stopped.

"arrive."

Tang He raised his head at the sound, and in front of him the giant tree with intertwined roots stretched out in all directions, and the water-white flowers above his head covered the branches like covering the sky and covering the sun, and the fragrance permeated the air.

"Three Living Tree." Lu Jie added.

The breeze sent a leaf of petals to Tang He's palm, and the moonlight shed a few ethereal bouquets among the flower branches, which fascinated people.

"Why did you bring me here?" he asked.

"Good scenery."

Lu Jie said it casually, as if he made an excuse randomly.When Tang He came back to his senses, Lu Jie had already climbed up the branch extending from the trunk in a few steps behind him, and stretched out his hand from the branch to Tang He, "Come up."

As he stood on the branch of the tree, Tang He felt more and more that the flowers blooming on the three-lived tree, like clouds and seas, covered every corner of the line of sight, enveloping people in tranquility.

Lu Jie sat down beside him, stretched his waist, clasped his hands behind his head, and leaned back against the tree trunk, seemingly contented.

"You seem to like this place very much." Tang He stood aside and commented.

"When I was young," Lu Jie said, "I liked to sneak out and lie down here to sleep after practicing every day. Sometimes I could see interesting things."

"for example?"

"Every year, people from outside the desert come here especially for the name. Most of them are lovers. There is a legend about the three-life tree. If you make a wish under the tree and hang the bell engraved with the names of the two people on the tree, the two people will live together forever and ever. Shou."

Lu Jie's eyes pointed to the branches covered by flowers in front of him. Tang Hexuan took a step forward and pushed the branches away, only to see many red ribbons hanging on the smaller branches, old and new.

Tang He stretched out his hand, and a piece of yellowed and broken silk ribbon slowly slipped over Tang He's fingertips.When he turned around, he saw Lu Jie closing his eyes and resting his mind, looking a little lazy as if he was defenseless against himself.

He knew that he couldn't see through Lu Jie.Like the cat he raised, he was always near and far away from him, but he always hovered beside him, watching his every move with those beautiful but dangerous eyes.

This time it was Tang He who spoke first.

"I know that a few years ago in Tangjiabao, there was a senior brother who came here with Mingjiao disciples who were also killers. They tied a red thread, engraved their names, and hung a bell."

Lu Jie slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Tang He, raised the corners of his mouth to Tang He, and a deep and sharp smile flashed across his half-closed eyes, "Then, what happened?"

Tang He stood in place facing Lu Jie.

"Later he killed the disciple of the Ming Cult."

It was as quiet as a sound of stagnant water.

The end of Tang He's words slowly disappeared in Lu Jie's ears. The breeze blew by, and amidst the shade of flowers, the clear ringing of silver bells gradually filled the silence.Tang He lowered his head, Lu Jie raised his head, and the two looked at each other silently.Lu Jie routinely wore his signature smile, while Tang He was still cold and expressionless.

He couldn't see through Lu Jie, but he was easily seen through by Lu Jie.
