Crown Sword

Xuan Zhidao, who adjusted his breath to keep out the cold, opened his eyes, waved his sleeves and threw the dry firewood on the stone into the fire, swept the dust away, and was about to use the true energy for another small circle, when suddenly his ears were raised. There were some abnormal noises, it seemed that the people inside the pass had tampered with.It is very possible that Gongyangyue bossed Chao Chen over at dinner and beat and scolded him in a moody manner.

Because of the witty remarks earlier, he still admired that little gentleman, but seeing him in the company of tigers, leopards, snakes and insects, he felt that the hardship was self-inflicted, so he simply shook his head and went straight to meditation.

But for some reason, Xuanzhi wanted to get his mind back several times, but his thoughts were always scattered. Whenever he mentioned self-sacrifice, the face of Gong Yangchi when he was young floated in front of his eyes, haunting him.

The past happened one after another. In the past, the five of them were comrades in one mind and performed their respective duties. They did not ask for black clothes and sandals shoes to exchange for the white horse and light fur, nor did they ask for the breeze to be the hero of the five tombs. The loyal souls of the barren mountains are all named, and the traitors and thieves are engraved on the pillars of history forever.

But what about the end?

In fact, among the five people, he and Gongyangchi had the earliest acquaintance and the deepest relationship. Back then, Yuzhang fought against evil and shared the same hatred with the enemy, and they didn't know each other unless they fought at Ganjiang Ferry.

It was precisely because of this that after the Gongyang family's mutiny, he was the most furious and also the most unacceptable.The inferences he and Gongyangyue said were not all angry words and nonsense, but after years of pondering, he came to a conclusion that he preferred to believe. intrigue.

If that's the case—

Xuan Zhi let out a long sigh: "Second Brother Gongyang, if General Xie Xuan's victory in Feishui had been more than ten years earlier, would the result have been different?"

----

Obviously only one snap of the fingers, but it seems like two lives have passed.

Chao Chen couldn't open his eyes, so he could only remain motionless, his lips still fell on the trembling eyelashes, moistening the eyelids and eyelids, like a butterfly flying past.

What are you doing?What is the Ram Moon doing?

In an instant, a tingling sensation crept up his back, blood surged up to the Lingtai, his brain seemed to be whipped by silver lightning, after Chao Chen tried to resist but couldn't move, he curled his knuckles and wanted to punch him too .

But there is a huge difference in strength, even if he attacked in anger, he was still easily caught by Gongyangyue in the end.

The wind blew the bamboo umbrella around half a circle, and snow poured in from the gap, hitting the faces of the two of them.Gong Yangyue's pupils brightened slightly, and while raising her head, she slowly let go of the restraint on the person below her.

Chao Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but he hadn't even breathed yet, his arms tightened, Gong Yangyue unexpectedly surrounded him tightly, and in order to prevent the rebound, he stretched out his hand to touch his numb acupoints.Immediately afterwards, there was a dull pain in the shoulder socket, the hot forehead hit him, his face was face down, the black hair scattered, and the warm breath was sprayed on his chest.

After a long time, Gong Yangyue said sullenly: "I don't want to kill them, I don't want to kill any more."

Along the way, the rebellious red-clothed swordsman has sometimes been arrogant and unreasonable, sometimes frivolous, sometimes brilliant, sometimes vicious and shameless, and sometimes unrestrained, but he has never been weak and cowardly, but now , It sounds like helplessness and pain are full of ears, and some emotions are just buried too deep to find a gap to break the embankment.

He never expected that he could still hear Gong Yangyue's sincere words.

Chao Chen had mixed feelings for a while, and his intuition told him that after the poisonous hallucinations, these words may not have been said to himself, if they were not, then who would it be?

Thinking of this, he was a little irritable.

"Gongyangyue, look at me, look at who I am!" Chao Chen shouted.

"Shut up, Chao Chen." Gongyangyue snorted, pressing on him like a dead body, not only did not move away, but hugged him even tighter, "It's so warm."

With his back against the snow, Chao Chen felt the cold air rushing upwards. He was clearly so cold that his upper and lower teeth were on the verge of clinking. Hearing his words, he almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood.

But after thinking about it, maybe the heat source was not from himself, so he stretched out his hand and found that Gong Yangyue's forehead was astonishingly hot, and he didn't know whether it was poison or wind-cold.Remembering that he had just untied his clothes and hung them on the tree, Chao Chen didn't dare to toss around. After several battles between heaven and man in his heart, he could only let his rude behavior go, and quietly hooked the handle of the umbrella with his little finger to block the wind and snow.

Anyway, they are all men, and no one can take advantage of them.

That's what he said, but Chao Chen felt awkward whatever he thought in his heart, thinking about how to ask him for an explanation tomorrow, but then felt that according to Gong Yangyue's thick skin, he might not only deny it, but also make another joke, "" If I ask you to come back for a kiss, neither of us will lose." After a while, I persuaded myself that a gentleman should not care about a villain, and that he should not be afraid of the shadow if he is upright.

After thinking about it, Chao Chen was anxious, and tilted his head close to his ear and shouted, "Gongyangyue, believe it or not, I'll draw it for you."

With a slap, Gongyang Yue grinds his teeth: "Your son said: don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep."

"ram……"

Gong Yangyue freed a hand and grabbed his neck: "Can you say another word?"

"……it is good."

Gongyangyue laughed angrily, turned over, and lay beside him.Chao Chen breathed carefully, not even daring to say a word, for fear that he would go back on his word.

For a while, both of them were silent, until Chao Chen moved his numb arm and accidentally bumped into the arm of the person next to him, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Gongyangyue, have you ever killed someone?" The words came out, I almost bit my tongue, there is no need to ask, it is obvious, although there are many speculations in the world, but there is no wind without waves.

"Well," Gong Yangyue responded, and added, "A lot. Chao Chen, don't have hope for people like me."

So the blood he just mentioned refers to the blood on his hands?

Chao Chen was noncommittal, looked up at the umbrella, hesitated for a long time, and then mustered up the courage to continue, but just started another topic: "You say that you have traveled all over Kyushu, then... have you been to Lujiang East Lake?"

"Lujiang East Lake...been there."

"When?"

"Five years ago. After that, I never went there again. What are you doing? Are you from Lujiang?"

Bashu is in the west, Lujiang River is in the east, the mountains are high and the roads are far away. Even a leisurely traveler, with ox carts and horses, can't go to many places in a year. Faced with adversity.Hearing the answer, Chao Chen's hands couldn't help shaking, but he felt chills down his spine, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment, his heart was pounding like a drum.

Chao Chen concealed: "Ask me casually, I want to see where you are not able to get through other than Bashu, I think that Lujiang River is next to the left side of the river, and it is very close to Nayuntai..."

"Take the cloud platform? Oh, you mean that Dongwu Lord? What is he? I dare to come and go even the three mountains and four lakes of the Emperor Shige. As for Jiankang, it is not a problem not to enter the palace. The old monster served the Sima family, why, planning to hide in Taicheng?" Gong Yangyue sneered unabashedly, "How are you going, are you an eunuch?"

"..."

Gongyangyue clicked twice: "That's a pity, you are so skinny, I really can't imagine you turning into a sissy..."

Chao Chen's face darkened, imitating his tone just now: "Don't talk anymore. Master said: Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep."

"I want to." Gong Yangyue was excited instead.

Chao Chen glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and continued the previous conversation calmly: "Only that one time?"

"Well," Gongyangyue yawned, "I haven't been to many places before leaving Sword Valley, most of them have been traveling in the past five years."

"Are you going to visit the mountains and rivers?" Asked more carefully, Chao Chen coughed and chased after him, "I heard that the East Lake whitebait is fresh and tender, and the haze of egrets is beautiful."

"No."

Gong Yangyue's lazy voice suddenly became cold and hard, and the atmosphere quickly became low.

Chao Chen understood, and asked in a trembling voice, "Where did you make a move?"

"Ah."

"What kind of person is he? Judging from your tone, it seems that the visitor is not kind."

Gong Yangyue suddenly had a fit of poison, felt drowsy, turned over, and answered him vaguely: "One, the one who wields a knife."

Chao Chen sat up startled, and asked impatiently, "What kind of knife? Long? Short? Wide? Narrow?" After speaking, he became aware of it and was afraid of being seen out, but Gong Yangyue didn't say anything. Soon, he breathed evenly and fell into a deep sleep.

In the winter moon counting to nine, Chao Chen sat on the snowy ground, staring blankly at the starless night sky between the two mountains.When the tongue of fire was slowly buried by falling snow, he felt like a frozen cave from head to toe, but even the strength to rub his hands and breathe was taken away. The same five years, for this flamboyant swordsman, was unruly. Traveling, but for myself, it is a wandering.

At this moment, he hoped that Gong Yangyue would give the answer, but he also felt strange fear that he would really speak.

Chao Chen pushed the umbrella to the side facing the wind, and stood up by himself holding onto the rock wall. Xu's knees were paralyzed after kneeling for a long time. Pain, looking down, it turned out that Gongyang Yue's hands and feet were thrown over when he rolled over.

The people on the ground frowned, their eyes rolled wildly, thinking that what they saw in a dream was uneasy, as if they were about to wake up.

Chao Chen's mind was extremely confused, subconsciously picked up the things at hand, saw that the person hadn't woken up, finally put it down lightly, sighed, and put his hands on his forehead, subconsciously trying to dispel the little cloud between his brows.But he soon realized that his actions were wrong, frustrated his superiors, and stepped out again.

After walking back and forth twice on the snow, Chao Chen couldn't bear to turn around, grabbed the snow and smeared it on the moon of the ram.

The chill was piercing, and Gong Yangyue's frown seemed to deepen, Chao Chen hurriedly swept it away with his sleeve, grabbed the snow in his hand and smashed it hard on the ground, and lit the bonfire with flint instead.But the snow kept falling, and the dry firewood was also wet, so he couldn't light it, so he had to tear off a strand of cloth and wrapped it in his palm, holding the fine snow to warm it into water, wring it dry, and apply it on the forehead of Ram Moon, and then, He took off his clothes and wrapped them around him, took off his red clothes and put them on, and sat at the pass to watch the night.

The snow stopped in the early morning, and the sun was shining brightly, shining warmly on people.

Chao Chen was awakened by the sound of birdsong, the first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to get up and look outside, and after seeing Xuan sitting cross-legged in meditation through the gap between the trees, he felt relieved.It's just that the breath wasn't evenly distributed, and a pair of straight eyes caught sight of him from the corner of the eye, making him tremble with fright.

"So thirsty, so hungry..."

Chao Chen turned his head and took a closer look. Gong Yangyue sat up at some point, his eyes were sleepy, and his eyes were dull. He heard that again, and he couldn't help but pouted: "Gongyangyue, I'm not your old lady."

But while talking, he walked over again, pulled the firewood out of the snow, picked up the pot on the ground, smashed the residual ice and poured it out, took two handfuls of snow into it, and tried to start a fire.After everything was done, Gongyangyue was still pretending to be a log, just like when he had hallucinations last night, as if he hadn't calmed down yet, Chao Chen picked up the handkerchief on the ground again, washed it with snow water, and handed it to him. He wipes his face.

He stretched out his hand, and after thinking about it, he felt very uncomfortable. If he hadn't been talking nonsense last night, he had really been to Lujiang, and he had really touched him. If that person was really him...

Chao Chen walks away.

The other hand took the lead, not only took the handkerchief, but also held his hand that was so cold and purple: "It's so cold." Gong Yangyue smiled, and a steady stream of heat poured in from Chao Chen's fingertips.

Is this internal force?

Chao Chen was dumbfounded, and shook his five fingers in front of his eyes. Gong Yangyue was still sluggish and did not respond.

——Perhaps, while he was confused, he could hurry up and ask questions that he didn't answer last night.

But Chao Chen is not sure whether Gong Yangyue's lingering poison is still unresolved, or if he is just sleepy and exhausted and doesn't want to talk to him, so he has to figure out how to say it well.

But the sky is not what people want, after such a delay, Xuanzhi shook the snow and jumped down the stone platform, as if he had absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon all night, full of energy, he stood by the pass with his fly whisk and shouted : "Little wolf boy? How about practicing two hands? Yesterday I watched your three swords to break the cloud pose is very difficult, but I want to see it again, how about the Ji Ji style!"

Gong Yangyue, who had just fought against Sap just now, stretched out his hand and called for the sword in the blink of an eye, flew out with a touch of his toes, floated on the treetop with a crooked neck protruding from half the wall, and looked down coldly: "Old man of miscellaneous hair, you are not worthy of my use!" !"

"The tone is quite crazy, you will only know if you are worthy of trying."

After finishing speaking, Daoist Xuan Zhi also jumped left and right and climbed the wall until he was at the same level as him, and then he volleyed his hands.At this time, people are not thirsty or hungry, but their hands and feet are frozen and they need to loosen their muscles and bones.Holding the pot in his arms, Chao Chen felt a little thankful that he didn't ask, Gong Yangyue's face-changing tricks might be a deliberate probing after recollection.

The two above fought fiercely, it was flying snow and rocks, broken wood and branches, not to mention the birds did not dare to cross, and the apes also scared away several apes, it stands to reason that this dark and dark fighting style should always determine the winner , but it happened to be a tie. After dismantling fifty moves, he said that he had won Gongyangchi while fighting. However, it was not the confrontation last night, it was only about martial arts.

Sword Valley is divided into nine sects and three veins. The so-called nine sects refer to the inheritance of the nine people who initially loved swords and became obsessed with the same way and escaped from the world in Jiange. Pulse, now only the seven elders are left.The seven elders have equal power, conspire and make decisions together, regardless of superiority, and they are as close as brothers.

But with the trend of seeking immortals and asking questions, the seven elders gradually stopped asking about the world of mortals, so a valley master was born, who took turns in each sect. To put it bluntly, he just did some daily tedious chores.

And the nine sects and nine skills are divided into three and three into the so-called "three veins", which means three different ways of using the sword: the "Qinglu" vein is good at using light daggers and short swords; the "Jinglu" vein is born with two-handed swords ; "Changjia" lineage is the most common one-handed long sword genre.

Gongyangyue's grandfather, Gongyangchi, belonged to "Jinglu" and used a pair of green swords. Although Gongyangyue himself was crowned with two swords, he joined the "Changjia" sect at the beginning and used a one-handed sword. .

A swordsman is as sharp as a sword, and if you don't practice it, it will be blunt.

Chao Chen flicked the handkerchief in his hand, crossed his arms and looked at each other coldly, until the two of them met their palms and returned to their respective positions.

"I'm fine!" Sweating profusely, the wind and cold were gone, the poison was cured, Gong Yangyue landed on the ground, and slapped Chao Chen on the shoulder, but the other party just squinted and had nothing to say , although it didn't say "smelly face", but it was also clear and cold and alienated.Gongyang Yuenahan: "Why do you look unhappy?"

Chao Chen didn't speak.

Gong Yangyue pondered for a while around the people, and said clearly: "Yes, I missed a good opportunity."

Chao Chen asked, "Do you remember what happened last night?"

Hearing that his tone was a little yin and yang, Gong Yangyue paid more attention and said: "What are you referring to?"

"Everything!" Chao Chen was annoyed, half angry, half suspicious, "If you ask me this way, don't you have any impression?"

Gong Yangyue waved his hand: "Anyway, it's all an illusion."

"It's all hallucinations? Then..." Chao Chen couldn't help himself, turned away, and his eyes met the bamboo umbrella head-on, feeling embarrassed and pissed off.

"Oh--"

Gong Yangyue smiled, playing a long and joking tone, first followed his gaze, and after thinking about it for a while, turned around and looked at him secretly.After Chao Chen discovered this series of tricks, and before he questioned him, Gongyang Yueban put on a preemptive strike: "I said, why are you wearing my clothes, why don't you secretly take advantage of me while I'm poisoned! Tsk tsk, Chao Chen, I can't see it, you're such a weak person!"

"..."

A new day of confrontation started with a fight and ended with the three chattering each other.
