The Villain's White Lotus Halo

Many people thought that the battle at Xiling Mountain was the first time Liu Jishuang and Yu Zhanmei met.

In fact, they have known each other for a long time, even earlier than when they started practicing.To this day, almost no one knows about it.

The Juggernaut abducted Jun Yu outside the gate of the school, and took Yan Xing away in a fight in the tavern. In contrast, Liu Jueshuang's entry into the school was considered serious and formal.At least one serious, formal conversation.

At that time, Jun Yu's sword intent was small, and the sword master went down the mountain to explore the Meteorite Abyss for the first time.When passing through the snowy field, I met two little girls, who looked about seven or eight years old, who had just joined forces to kill a gray wolf that was left alone.Seeing him coming, he looked very alert, but he had no strength left.This scene reminded him of the time when he and Li Tugen traveled to the Eastland when he was young.

Liu Jishuang always remembered that day, when the master came out of the wind and snow, it seemed to appear out of thin air.The pictures in my memory are as magical as a fairy.

"Would you like to be my apprentice and learn my way?"

Liu Jishuang, who nodded after thinking about it, heard the people around her ask,

"Learn your way, how long will it take to be as strong as you?"

Even if no one taught him, Yu Zhanmei was terribly precocious.

"Your understanding is excellent, and you can enter Mahayana in 500 years."

"500 years, too slow." She said to Liu Jiashuang, "You go, I still want to worship the Zodiac."

The Juggernaut frowned slightly, "It's not good at cultivating demons, it's easy to die, and it hurts a lot."

Yu Zhanmei was very firm, "Once I start to practice, I have entered the realm of practice. Either I will kill or be killed. Either I don't learn it, and if I want to learn it, I should learn the fastest and most powerful exercises."

"Cultivation is not for killing people, but for enlightenment."

Yu Zhan raised his eyebrows and asked back, "Isn't killing a person a kind of enlightenment? There is a great understanding between life and death."

The Juggernaut was noncommittal, but just smiled, "Sure enough, different ways do not conspire against each other."

Yu Zhanmei pushed Liu Jishuang over, and said impatiently, "Don't act like this, you and I just met by chance and walked together... You practice hard, I'll see you when I'm free."

"You lied to me." Liu Jiashuang shook his head, "You don't know the north and the south, you can't find your way at all."

Before they understood the principle of the incompatibility between Dao and Demon, they already vaguely understood that this was probably a permanent separation.Even if we meet again, we can't walk together again.

Sure enough, many years later, they met each other on Xiling Mountain.As expected, there was no hesitation in making a move.

In the remote outskirts of Tai'an City, snow clouds obscured the starlight this night, and half of the long-abandoned stone bridge collapsed.The lake water froze into solid ice, and shivering willows danced in the wind and snow.

The woman in the jade-colored gauze stood barefoot on the bridge, her face expressionless, and she was so beautiful that it was not like the world.

Liu Jishuang stood under the bridge.Just three feet apart.

Maybe it's because it's not a good time to officially start a war, and the Palace Master of the Golden Palace still has concerns; maybe it's because he is not sure that he can kill the opponent, so it is unwise to do it rashly.

Maybe it's just because of the deja vu on this snowy night.

On and off the bridge, no one went any further, and naturally there was no fight.

"You appear in front of me now, do you think I won't kill you?"

Yu Zhanmei's voice was not as cold and stubborn as it was on the snow field in the past, but because of the exercises he practiced, no matter what he said, his tone was soft and soft like the spring breeze blowing willows.Even when talking about life and death.

She was used to such a voice, but Liu Jishuang was not.

"No." Liu Jishuang unconsciously wanted to frown, her gaze crossed the stone bridge and fell not far away.

Due to the realm, if she wanted to, she could see it clearly.

Yu Zhanmei followed her gaze and looked over.

Not far away are several farmers on the outskirts of the city.With the protection of Cang Ya, the flames of the troubled times have not yet burned here.Warm yellow light shines through the windows, illuminating the snow on the ground and dyeing the white snow into warm yellow.

One can vaguely hear the woman's warm voice coaxing the crying child.I don't know which house exudes the aroma of rice wine, floating in the cold air.

The wind and snow are boundless, the warm wine is dimmed.There is nothing more tender than this in the world.

Liu Jishuang didn't speak anymore, Yu Zhanmei already knew what she was thinking.

She couldn't help but look slightly sarcastic, she seemed to be asking the other party back, and she seemed to be asking herself,

"It's ridiculous, since I chose this path, why would I be greedy for worldly happiness?!"

As if to prove this sentence, her drooping wide sleeves trembled slightly, and the thin snow that fell just moments ago could no longer get close to her.The invisible barrier split the space around her, and the flying snowflakes were cut into finer pieces.

Accompanied by the subtle and ear-piercing sound of "creaking", countless cracks and lines extended from the stone bridge to the ice surface, all the way to an inch below Liu Jishuang's feet.

Liu Jishuang felt the sudden murderous intent between the heaven and the earth, like a sharp edge on his back, or like a sword's edge imminently between his eyebrows.Almost instinctively, she was stimulated to the extreme with her true energy. The snow fell on her body, evaporated in an instant, and a thin mist rose.

They were all in a state where they could attack violently at any time, but they chose not to attack again.

Liu Jishuang didn't know what to say.It seems that everything is superfluous and nonsense.

Xue Ye's conversation came to an end.

"You go. See you next time, life and death will be divided."

Yu Zhanmei's figure swayed slightly, flew over the ice lake in an instant, and returned to the big chariot as high as a pavilion in the distance.The chariot was lifted up and drove towards the east at high speed.

Liu Jishuang thought it was like this again, when you told me to go, you left first.

She woke up from her memories, and in front of her was the quiet room that hadn't changed for a hundred years.Thoughts were sorted out smoothly, and he began to breathe into concentration.

In fact, the master made it clear in one sentence hundreds of years ago, that different paths should not be conspired against each other.

*****

Yin Biyue and Luo Mingchuan hurried on their way with all their strength, and within three days they arrived at Zhonglu Yunyang City.The demon cultivator is still crossing the sea, and the surroundings are already in chaos.

The aristocratic families in the city got the news very early that their families moved to Lianjian, and those who were able to cross the sea took a boat to Hokuriku, and the price of the boat rose sky high.They knew that the land in the middle of the country was flat, and if the demon cultivator drove straight in, he would be able to take Yunyang City directly in a short time.

In the shocking battle on Hengduan Mountain, the gentleman in the school was seriously injured.The news has already spread quietly in the practice world.

Ordinary people didn't think of this, they just acted on hearing the news, sold their properties, and left the city in a hurry.

Yin Biyue and Luo Mingchuan went against the general trend of the crowd, and they had an extraordinary bearing, so they were very conspicuous.

The streets were strewn with sundries that were too late to take away. The doors of shops and teahouses on both sides were wide open, and there was nothing left.

Yin Biyue heard the child in the woman's arms ask, "Why don't we keep Da Moxiu?"

Carrying a big burden, the child's father stopped and said, "Don't talk nonsense, demon cultivators eat people."

The woman also showed worry, "Is it safe to go to Lianjian?"

"...It will always be better. Most of the schools are scholars, so how can they fight wars?"

Many people think so.If it is not impossible, who would want to leave their hometown.

Yin Biyue originally thought that the school had closed down, and most of the students from all sides started to find their own way out.The mansion should be in chaos, so he took Luo Mingchuan to the back door of a remote alley, "Master brought me here, and it leads directly to Mr. Zhang's yard."

Sure enough, the gentleman knew they were coming, and before he could knock on the door, the door opened.The two stood outside the door and saluted before walking in.

The once lush pagoda tree leaves have all fallen, and the courtyard is cold withered branches and ruined flower vines.

The Mr. Head of the courtyard with gray temples was leaning on the wicker chair, as if he was listening to the sound of reading from outside the courtyard wall.

Yin Biyue soon discovered that life in the academy was no different from usual.

The students' books are still being read, and the teacher's class is still being taught.The only difference is that some of the servants left the house, and the scholars started to do it themselves, sweeping the courtyard, lighting a fire and cooking.

A city in turmoil and a school that is as immovable as a mountain.

"Come on, sit down. We don't seem to have talked yet."

The gentleman's voice could not be heard to be tired, and his expression was very calm, making it impossible to tell how serious the injury was.

The second half of the sentence was addressed to Luo Mingchuan.

Luo Mingchuan and Yin Biyue saluted and sat down, and said, "Thanks to Mr. Meng for helping me on Hengduan Mountain."

The gentleman didn't answer, just looked him up.

Regarding Luo Mingchuan, Li Tugen had complicated feelings.Once wanted him to die, but also wanted him to live.I can't tell the fate of the entanglement, and I don't know whether the current situation is a blessing or a curse.

Yin Biyue said, "According to my senior brother and I's estimate, Rong Zhuo's magic army will arrive in Donglu at the earliest in two days."

The gentleman nodded, but he didn't mention the imminent event. Instead, he laughed, "You two look very good."

Being teased by elders is completely different from being teased by fellow apprentices, Yin Biyue felt a little embarrassed.

Luo Mingchuan replied,

"Junior brother wants to spend this life with me."

Yin Biyue nodded silently.

"Did you know, 'Double stars are present, life and death are the same family', originally referring to the two of you."

"I got it."

"Are you going to fight against the sky?"

Mr. asked Luo Mingchuan.Yin Biyue also wanted to hear his brother's answer.

What would the brother say?

Luo Mingchuan also laughed, feeling a little helpless in his warmth,

"I live a stable life with my younger brother. If it is possible, who would like to live with God. But it can't tolerate us, and I will inevitably have to fight. 'Live one' is not enough. I have to fight for the two to return together. Life and death go hand in hand. .”

There is no pride in cursing the world, and there is no ambition to swear.

It was clearly the most common language, but Yin Biyue's eyes were almost sore from hearing it.

This is his senior brother.Only his senior brother would say that.

Mr. was silent.There was no words in the courtyard for a long time.

It was cold and windy, and the sky darkened unknowingly, and lights were lit in the library of the school.

"I didn't expect this to happen."

It was supposed to be due to the mutual restraint of luck, the two people who have you and no self, unexpectedly quietly changed their fate at some point.To a completely different ending.

Li Tugen suddenly felt very frustrated.

I have read thousands of classics in my life, but I don't believe in the truth.I have counted thousands of tricks, but I have not counted people's hearts.

Then he laughed, "When Wei Jingfeng comes back, I will tell him that he is right."

Yin Biyue felt that Mr. Zhang Yuan's spirit was revived, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes stretched out, just like the Confucian scholar with the crown and bow when he first met.

Talking and laughing, don't have a certain style,

"Win or lose, blood will flow for thousands of miles, and people will be burned. The balance of life and death between heaven and earth is broken, and the hostility of Meteor Abyss will only grow stronger. It is unknown whether the second catastrophe will come down."

"You shouldn't come to the Eastern Continent to resist the demon cultivators, you should go to the Meteor Abyss. Only there can we end the curse and end all of this ahead of schedule."

"There are no more than a hundred practitioners in the school, but the school and I can last for seven days."

"Lianjian and Qinglu Sword Sect can last for nine days. If Wuwang Jiekong Temple enters the world, you have ten days at most."

"These ten days are for you to decide the future of the world."

"If you can't do it, no one else can."
