Sword God is hard to catch

The waning moon, the lone star.

There was an intense barking of dogs in the village.The hen's "cuckoo" sound seems to have met an evil weasel.

The bleak silver mixed with the cold wind indifferently enveloped the crumbling dilapidated thatched hut.

There was a dead silence in the hut.The faint smell of blood diffused with the night wind.

Qin Ni knew that he was late.

People who don't deserve to die are already dead.People who shouldn't have left have already left.

Who would have thought that such a remote village, such a dilapidated thatched hut, would have such a great swordsman living here?Who would have thought that the once famous Hanjiang Broken Jade Sword would die in such a remnant night, in such a corner?

Tan Ni stood by the door, and by the moonlight, he could already see the situation in the room clearly.

Lying on the ground in the house is the owner of the hut, Xiao Hanjiang.His temples have turned gray, but his figure is still solid, with his temples bulging high, and he looks about 40 years old.This age is not too young for ordinary people, but for a famous swordsman with profound internal skills, it is the time when he will become famous and strong.

But not only did he fail to achieve success, he was killed in a dilapidated hut instead.

Qin Ni stared at the corpse on the ground.He didn't have many wounds on his whole body, to be precise, there was only one, a little blood in his throat, and a sword to seal his throat.

This kind of scar and this kind of swordsmanship are really familiar.

Qin Ni said, "Very similar."

Ximen Chuuxue stood outside the house, glanced coldly, and said, "It's not like that."

Two people, one said they were similar, the other said they were not, they were completely different, but the strange thing was that Tan Ni didn't refute Ximen Chuuxue.Instead, he continued to stare at the corpse inquiringly.

There was rustling leaves in the wind, and the dense forest not far away became darker and darker in the night, like the mouth of a giant beast, swallowing the light in people's hearts and releasing fear.

Ximen Chuuxue suddenly shouted in a cold voice: "Who?" With a flash of sword light, his person and sword seemed to have merged into one, and suddenly jumped out over the wall.

The night is dark, where can we still see people?

Even the figure of Ximen Chuuxue seemed to disappear with the flash of the sword in the dense forest.

Tan Ni was also about to chase after him, but she stopped suddenly.

She stood quietly in the room.Moonlight shone through the open door onto the floor of the house and onto her white robe.Golden bells hung from her hands and feet, and they hung as silently as their masters.The red golden light exudes a little bit of dazzling warmth in the cold moon.The delicate toes wrapped in clogs shine like jade in the dark night, white and clean.

Night, slowly quiet down.

Apart from Tan Ni, there were only corpses on the ground in the hut.

But strangely, Tan Ni spoke.Who was she talking to?

"Since you're here, why don't you come out?" Her voice was unhurried, just like her attitude, unhurried.

Time passed very slowly, it seemed that it had only passed for a while, and it seemed that it had passed for a long time.

Qin Ni felt nothing.She just looked quietly and indifferently at the direction outside the courtyard gate.

After a long time, a person appeared there.

She was dressed in white clothes like snow, and hung a strange-looking long sword with a black scabbard around her waist.

This kind of dress is very familiar, but even if it is a stranger, it will never be mistaken.

Of course this person was not Ximen Chuuxue.

Not even a man, she's a woman.

Sun Xiuqing.

Of course, Sun Xiuqing did not appear out of thin air.In fact, she never left.The strange thing is that Ximen Chuuxue and Tan Ni walked in through the courtyard gate, but they didn't even notice her.

But what's even more strange is that Tan Ni didn't feel surprised at all.She just stared at Sun Xiuqing, looking at her seriously.

Some people may never change for a lifetime, even if they change, they will be very slow.And some people, it seems that in just a few hours, days or months, great changes will take place, and people can't even recognize them anymore.

Tan Ni remembered that the last time he saw Sun Xiuqing was in the battle at the top of the Forbidden City.She was wearing a light yellow dress, a white blouse, a smooth white satin belt around her waist, and a pair of plain and delicate embroidered shoes on her feet.Her attire hasn't changed much from the first time they met, except for the addition of a black scabbard sword.But her expression and breath were completely different, crazy and venomous, like a twisted wraith.

But this time, it was just the opposite. There seemed to be no madness or resentment on her face. At first glance, she seemed to have completely reborn.But what changed was her attire.

Tan Ni just calmly looked at her attire that looked like Ximen Chuuxue's couple outfit, then calmly stared at Sun Xiuqing, and suddenly said, "You finally dare to stand in front of me."

Sun Xiuqing said coldly, "I've never been afraid of you."

Tan Ni said, "You're not afraid. You just can't stand up in front of me."

Sun Xiuqing was furious and said, "What did you say?"

Tan Ni said, "Now you have made great progress in martial arts and swordsmanship, so you think you can stand up in front of me?"

Sun Xiuqing raised her brows upside down, clenched her long sword tightly, and was about to say something.

Tan Ni's voice suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly: "You are wrong. You will never stand up in front of me. Because you not only killed Shi Xiuxue, but also killed at least five people. Including Xiao Hanjiang tonight, it is six No. A murderer can never stand up in front of the police."

Sun Xiuqing's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but want to take a step back, but she gritted her teeth and stayed where she was.Her expression began to change, the unwillingness and resentment in her eyes seemed to break through the skin and spread to her face, but it stopped suddenly.Slowly, she stood up straight again, as if she had calmed down.

She smiled coldly and said, "You want to provoke me, right? Do you think I still care about that kind of thing? Kill people? Who in the rivers and lakes doesn't kill people? Who doesn't have blood on their hands? Even... even Ximen Chuuxue , wasn’t he also a murderer?”

The night was bleak, with a cool breeze blowing.The thatched hut shook, and the straw rustled where the wind leaked.A corner of Sun Xiuqing's snow-like white clothes floated up and floated gently.

Tan Ni looked at her quietly, and after a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "I really took you seriously, but now that I hear you say that, I know that you really are not the dish of Ximen Chuuxue. How about Let's talk business."

Sun Xiuqing's eyes widened and she stared at Tan Ni. Her cheeks were flushed with anger, her chest heaved violently, as if she was about to say something, but she took a deep breath and held back.She said coldly: "Business? What business? If you want to ask me why I killed this person, I advise you not to waste your time, I won't tell you."

Tan Ni nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't ask, and you don't necessarily know, do you?"

Sun Xiuqing smiled coldly, and said mockingly: "You don't have to provoke me with words. I'm not the original me anymore, and I won't be fooled by you."

Tan Ni said lightly: "Then why don't you talk about other things, such as your own experience. How did you get to Dream of the Underworld, and who took you there."

Sun Xiuqing said coldly: "No one took me..." Suddenly she stopped, her face changed, and she glared at Tan Ni bitterly, "Are you talking to me?"

Tan Ni nodded, and said: "You have indeed been to the Dream of the Underworld. And you know that I have been there too. If you haven't been there, you will say 'I haven't been', or ask me where the Dream of the Underworld is. After all, it is not a place that many people know. But you are not surprised. You are not surprised when I mentioned it. Boss said you have not been there, he is really lying. "

Sun Xiuqing said coldly, "Who is Boss Ba?"

Tan Ni did not answer her words, but continued as if talking to himself: "You have been to the dream of the underworld. But you have never used opium. Opium will degenerate people's nature and do many crazy things. But you It didn't work, you killed Shi Xiuxue without being tempted by opium. With your personality, even if you have conflicts of interest, it is not easy to kill the junior sister who grew up with you, unless...someone encouraged you. That Man gave you courage, courage, and confidence... He also gave you a sword and a secret book... And you, you are doing things for him, including killing people."

Tan Ni raised her head suddenly, her dark pupils glowed in the dark night, she fixedly looked at Sun Xiuqing, whose face was as pale as a ghost, and said word by word: "I'm right, right? And that person taught you how to hide, so Ximen Chuuxue and I didn't find you at first. So... who is that person? Where is Shangguan Feiyan? You are related to her, right?"

Sun Xiuqing stared fixedly at Tan Ni, this was the first time, there was something else in her eyes besides resentment and hatred.She felt her own weakness in a trance. She thought she was already strong, and the sword in her hand could easily kill many people.But now, facing Tan Ni, just as she said, she couldn't stand up.Even the sword in his hand couldn't give her strength as usual...

Sun Xiuqing suddenly thought of her junior sister, Shi Xiuxue.

Shi Xiuxue once said, "They are so smart, but why didn't they save their master and sister".She didn't take it to heart at that time, she only remembered the appearance of her and Ximen Chuuxue meeting swords under the old locust tree, with fluttering white clothes, they were so compatible, as if nothing could come between them ...

But now... Sun Xiuqing held the long sword tightly, her fingers turned white, her nails dug deeply into her palms, and a faint smell of blood floated into her own nose.She looked at Tan Ni.Tan Ni's eyes were still so calm, terrifyingly calm, unmoved, and Sun Xiuqing suddenly felt that what she said was probably only a small part, and she must know something else.

She suddenly remembered a sentence that person once said: "Some people don't look very special, and even have blind spots in many things. But in other things, they have terrifying and sharp thinking and judgment abilities. This Such people are actually quite scary.”

Sun Xiuqing vaguely remembered that that person seemed to have said these words after the battle at the Forbidden Summit.At that time, she didn't know who he was talking about, but now...

Sun Xiuqing knew that tonight, at least until now, she had lost.She was at a disadvantage from the start.The other party didn't give her the slightest chance to stand up.But... She took a long, deep breath and said slowly, "I won't tell you anything."

Tan Ni nodded and said, "That's a pity. You were going to tell me something, right?" She said "It's a pity", but in fact there was no regret in her tone, only calm.

Sun Xiuqing pursed her lips, her eyes flickered, and she said, "I won't tell you anything."

Tan Ni looked at her for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I already know what I want to know."

Sun Xiuqing's eyes widened.

But Tan Ni asked again: "What about you? Do you want to know what Ximen Chuuxue means by 'unlike'?"

Sun Xiuqing pursed her lips and stared at her.

Tan Ni suddenly laughed, and she smiled very proudly, "There is no colorful phoenix and wings, but you have a good heart. You really are not Ximen Chuuxue's kind. You actually don't understand him at all. There is no fate, no part, it's just yours." delusional."

Sun Xiuqing couldn't bear it anymore, she roared angrily: "Why do you say that? Why do you say that you have no destiny? Why do you say that this is my own delusion? It's you! It's you! I'm Ximen Ma'am, I am Ximen Chuuxue's wife! It was you who came out of nowhere to interfere! Ximen Chuuxue originally liked me, I was his wife, and we will have a son!..."

"You're not! You can't be!"

A voice as cold as winter's snow came from behind.

Sun Xiuqing was stunned.Leng Leng turned back.

But under the moonlight, the white clothes are like snow.Ximen Chuixue stood there coldly, his expression was as cold as ice and snow just like his voice.It froze her whole heart and body like a cold pool dripping with blood.

Sun Xiuqing suddenly cried.Tears flow down the cheeks.

Ximen Chuuxue still looked at her coldly.

The cold wind blows and penetrates deep into the bone marrow.The waning moon is far from being able to warm the cold heart.

With tears in her eyes, Sun Xiuqing suddenly turned and ran towards the woods.

She doesn't want to stay in this place anymore, and she can't stay in this place anymore.No matter what Tan Ni said, she could accept it and refute it.However, that was far less painful and desperate than Ximen Chuuxue's two words.

Qin Ni immediately flew after him.Ximen Chuuxue was beside her.

She turned her head to look at his stern profile, and suddenly asked, "What if I was the one who cried?"

Ximen Chuuxue glanced at her, and there seemed to be a bit of warmth from melting ice in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Let's talk about it the day you cry."

The woods were dark and the moonlight was cold.But even colder is the human heart.

Sun Xiuqing lay there.The snow-white clothes were already stained with dust, and the long sword with the black scabbard was still tightly held in her hand.Her lips quivered as if she could not breathe, but her eyes were still bright.

His bright eyes were fixed on Ximen Chuuxue who was behind Tan Ni.

Ximen Chuuxue did not approach, but stood far away.

He was just waiting, waiting for Tan Ni.

Tan Ni knew it, and so did Sun Xiuqing.

Therefore, her eyes dimmed a bit.Finally, he looked at Qin Ni.

She looked at Tan Ni, with resentment floating in her eyes again.

Tan Ni looked down at her, and said slowly, "Who is it?"

But Sun Xiuqing suddenly laughed. She panted in a hoarse voice, "There are only two black-scabbard swords in my hand in the world. One is with me, and the other is with Ximen Chuuxue. We are a couple. He died in the same white clothes. He doesn't remember me, but you will, and you will never forget me."

At the end, she seemed to be smiling smugly.

Tan Ni said slowly: "He won't remember you, and I won't either. Have you ever heard of Dong Shi's imitation? Your behavior and your person are like your sword. In our eyes, there are only 'like' and 'not like'. Comments like '. You don't understand until now. I said 'like' just to say that you are imitating him. And when he said it was not like, it meant that painting a tiger is not an anti-dog. It has its shape but its spirit. How can we remember someone like you?"

Sun Xiuqing's smile froze, and she looked at Tan Ni viciously.

Tan Ni continued: "The first time I saw you, you were a carefree little girl. The second time I saw you, you were a bewitched lunatic. The third time I saw you, you were a The clown who lost himself. So, you see, who cares if you don't even remember who you are?"

You don't even remember who you are...

Sun Xiuqing was stunned, she stared blankly at Tan Ni, her pupils slowly dilated.In a trance, her thoughts seemed to go back to many years ago...on Mount Emei...the master was stroking his beard with a smile...the senior sister reprimanded them with a face pretending to be old-fashioned...the third junior sister sat on the swing and laughed cheerfully...the younger junior sister She shyly hid aside and smiled...and Senior Brother Su, that arrogant face that used to be annoying, now seems like a lifetime away...

Sun Xiuqing suddenly thought that she hadn't thought of Master for a long time...Master...if Master was still here...would everything be different...a tear slowly fell from the corner of her eye...

Tan Ni watched Sun Xiuqing slowly close his eyes.Bending down, she found a black needle as thin as a cow's hair from her back waist...

The moon has slanted to the west.The shadow of the moon faded even more, bending in vain, as if painted on the sky.

Two white shadows hurried on the starry night.

It was Tan Ni and Ximen Chuuxue.

While running, Tan Ni suddenly said: "Ximen Chuuxue, many heroines in Jianghu use swords."

Ximen Fuxue: "Yes."

Tan Ni turned his head to look at him, and slowly said: "Then don't you think that using a sword is feminine and unmanly. Do you want to consider... changing your weapon? The sword is very good, so domineering."

Ximen Chuixue: "..."

Tan Ni's eyes flashed, and he took a look at Ximen Chuuxue's clothes, "Actually, white clothes don't look good. I think black clothes are better, they are cool, stylish, and dirt-resistant. Go back and let Xiaolu make you a pair of clothes. "
