The day of the duel is set on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

When the news first came out, many martial arts people didn't believe it at all, they just regarded it as some kind of nonsense made up by martial idiots, until Lianyi hung up a notice announcing that the leader He Cheng decided to openly fight Xiao Fangdao to settle the old grievances.

They said it was a "discussion", but the two of them knew that they would not stop at the point, they would just ignore life and death.

Most of those who heard the news were very confused. The enmity between the Wulin League and the Unfeeling Sect was at its peak five years ago, but the death of the five sect leaders severely damaged the vitality of each faction. Huiren Xiao Fangdao has lived arrogantly and peacefully until now.Although the story of keeping a low profile for several years and only seeking revenge for the present is very satisfying, it is also too sudden.

Could it be that there has been a new enmity between the leader and Xiao Fangdao recently?

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, it was rumored that Xiao Fangdao wounded He Chengze's favorite son-in-law, claiming that one wounded and one disabled would be a good match. This action angered the leader, so he vowed to compete with her.

On the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month, it was rumored that one of Xiao Fangdao's subordinates tried to seduce the second lady to spy on the information of the villa, but He Cheng caught him straight and beat him to hemiplegia. People declared war immediately.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, the direction of the wind changed again. Dao He Cheng got a secret book by chance, and his skills improved by leaps and bounds, but the price was accelerated aging. Some people saw that he had white temples overnight, so he hurriedly dealt with Xiao Fangdao and getting a son-in-law for the second lady...

"Enough...enough." Shui Lian almost coughed up the medicine he had just swallowed, "What are these people talking about? Where did you hear that?"

"There's no need to listen at all. If you stay outside for a while, all the gossip will fall into your ears. The ones I picked are considered reliable." Cangwu didn't care, "How do you feel now?"

Shui Lian gritted her teeth and said, "I'm going to look forward to Tianyuan on the [-]th day, these two days..."

"I'm telling you this to make you not too nervous. It's not conducive to the recovery of the injury." Cang Wu said, "It's faster to lie down and dream in this situation."

"I really can't help worrying, the suzerain didn't tell me anything, and I don't know where Xuanjian is—"

"Does it still hurt here?" Cang Wu pressed his palm on his shoulder blade, interrupting his self-pity.

Shui Lian frowned in pain: "It still... a little painful."

"Then bear with it." Cangwu said in a deep voice, "It will hurt even more when I apply the needles. This method has quick results, but ordinary people will pass out if they can't bear it. Once the consciousness is lost, all previous efforts will be wasted."

"It's okay, I can bear it."

"Well, don't worry about the changes in your body, just stay awake, I will continue to talk to you, so that you don't get too anxious, what do you want to hear?"

Shui Lian said in her heart that there is no need, and she is not a child, so why use this method to relieve pain?

However, Cang Wu's expression was serious, he didn't dare to disobey the doctor's order, so he could only say: "Anything is fine, about the Unfeeling Sect...or those rambling gossips are also fine."

Cang Wu thought of something, raised his eyebrows: "Okay."

She unfolded the needle pack, picked up three needles in one hand, and pierced several acupuncture points on the opponent's chest after being burnt on the fire. The room was still smelling of benzoin that bloomed and stagnated, and the slightly pungent smell made the wound even more scorching. The pain stretches.Shui Lian has also experienced life and death, but Cangwu's acupuncture technique is not a sharp pain caused by foreign objects, but a dull and long pain that consumes energy, making the heart sink and numb, and it is almost impossible to concentrate.

"Don't think about the injury." Cang Wu reminded, "It rained a few days ago, do you remember?"

"Uh... yes."

"When I went out that day, the rain was still light, and I saw a wonderful thing on the road." She twisted another needle between her fingertips, "There were two people arguing about something in front of their house for a while. , Emotional, and finally one person refused to entangle, threw the umbrella and hugged each other, that person also forgot how indifferent and firm they were when they confronted each other before, and embraced her without any principle, with a guilty expression on his face. "

Shui Lian smiled wryly: "Unexpectedly, Dr. Cang not only has the pleasure of listening to rumors in the market, but also has the pleasure of watching husband and wife quarrel."

"Oh? Do you think these two are husband and wife?"

"It's not a pair of resentful couples, what else can it be?"

Cang Wu said coldly: "I don't think so."

Shui Lian felt that there seemed to be something in her words, and asked suspiciously: "I see that you seem to be filled with righteous indignation, do you think their actions are unsightly?"

"Who do you think is the most innocent in this matter?"

"You didn't say what they talked about, how can I judge?"

Cang Wu gave another shot: "I didn't listen either, but it doesn't affect my judgment."

Shui Lian could barely speak because of this thorn, "Why... why?"

"The most innocent thing is of course that paper umbrella. She sacrificed herself to protect others from the rain, but ended up dying like a smoldering jade."

Shui Lian realized that she was teasing on purpose, and laughed hoarsely: "Doctor Cang is really a benevolent doctor."

"I just want to say, it's enough for you to take care of yourself, don't always think about worrying about others, maybe others will enjoy it." Cangwu pulled out the needle with a deep heart, and put a few pairs of green and black plasters on the wound, " I'm blinded by a leaf, I don't know that I'm doing so much."

Shui Lian was dizzy from hearing this: "What the hell... do you know those two people?"

"Of course." Cangwu glanced at him, "You know him too."

"?"

Cang Wu wiped his hands with a hot towel: "It's your suzerain and Xu Chuilu."

"Wh...cough...cough cough cough..." His mind buzzed, and he suddenly woke up, "You said they..."

Watching his reaction, Cangwu knew that he was probably the first person to see through the secret, so he couldn't help but feel a little proud: "Things that I couldn't understand before, now I finally understand, although——but for Xiao Fangdao, there is something Caring is always a good thing. At least now that she and He Chengze are taking care of their families, it is inevitable to be more cautious."

Although Shui Lian made up nonsense about the relationship between the two from He Chengze, Wen Cangwu was still terrified and unbelievable when he described it like this: "You didn't make it up to scare me, did you? How did they hug? "

Cang Wu looked around, fixed his eyes on the bedpost, and physically restored the posture of the two people embracing each other affectionately.

Shui Lian's face became even paler, and he said calmly: "How is it possible? The suzerain would, would..."

Cang Wu wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but considering the other party's injury, he finally withdrew his hand, and only verbally comforted: "It's not too late to know, Miss Xu is a kind person, and your relationship is not bad. No, no harm to you."

"..." Shuilian was silent for a long time, and finally begged, "Cangwu, please don't reveal this matter."

"I'm not going to talk nonsense to the outside world, not to mention who would dare to believe it without empirical evidence? You and I know it well."

"Thank you."

Not knowing whether it was the effect of the medicine or the shock in his heart, Shui Lian's whole body went numb and his mind was in a trance.He did let go of his worries about Xiao Fangdao for the time being, because he was more worried about his future - once the affair between the two was leaked, would the suzerain's former admirers go crazy?These men are easy to deal with. If they want to make trouble, they can just beat them and throw them down the mountain. The trouble is those women who change their minds and move after hearing the wind.

The suzerain is not willing to let Xu Chuilu deal with these troubles, and will eventually let him face all this alone.

He suddenly felt that it was a heroic feat to die heroically that night in Laba.

……

On the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhixulou.

Zhuang Nei's turbulence and treachery did not affect He Zhiyou's habit of soaking in the bookstore. She was not stingy with the time spent in the chair of a handicapped person when it came to scrolls.

There is nothing that cannot be done on this fontanel table.Reading, calligraphy, planning, games... and others.

There is probably no one in the world who is better at waiting than her.

"Master."

She greeted the visitors who stepped into Zhixu Building like this.

Ever since Ye Yao married He Chengze, she never called him "Second Uncle", but she couldn't call him "Father" either, so she only respectfully and distantly called "Villa Master".

He Chengze had a thread of silver on his temples that spread to the back of his head, which added a bit of elegance to his handsomeness, and the word "old" finally appeared on him.He looked at this niece with whom he had little contact, and said calmly, "You'er, where is your black gold stored?"

"Is the owner suspicious of me?" She Zhiyi thought for a while, "Well, is it because of the water ripples?"

"When did you find out about his life experience?"

He Zhiyou raised his head and looked at him: "The landlord looks at this man differently, I should know what kind of person my future husband-in-law is."

He Cheng closed his eyes and said, "I didn't intend to let him marry you. I know that you have complained to me all these years, and the act of recruiting relatives is indeed against you, so I pretended not to see many of your actions, but you will Giving black gold to outsiders privately is against the rules."

He Zhiyou slightly raised his eyebrows, as if he had moved.

He Cheng continued: "Sooner or later, the villa will be handed over to you. I will not share the things of your brother and sister with others."

"If Shui Lian obeyed your arrangement, I'm afraid it won't be the case."

"You really are blaming me." He Cheng sighed, "I am also very sorry for Xiwei's death, but he did die of illness. I have the responsibility of neglecting to observe, but I have absolutely no intention of harming anyone."

"The deceased is dead, the owner does not need to explain to me."

"So, can you admit it?"

He Zhiyou smiled wryly, paused his head and said, "Yes, I handed over the needle to Shui Lian. I just didn't want him to die in the hands of Mei Wu. I didn't expect him to use it against you. But, neither do you." You will be afraid of this kind of hidden weapon, won't you?"

"..."

He Cheng stared at the glittering mask made of gold, and suddenly had the idea of ​​taking it off.She has grown up, and her knowledge has increased a lot. She should have walked out of the haze of the fire, at least in front of her family, she no longer has to wear this thing.

Maybe the gap between him and her is only on this solid false surface.

However, he failed to put this abrupt and offensive idea into practice.

"Since this is the case, you have been thinking about it for half a month, and if you have nothing important to do, you are not allowed to go out."

He Zhiyou smiled: "Whether I think about it or not, I don't go out often. The owner's punishment is too kind."

He Cheng knew that this was not even a punishment, but recently he felt uneasy a lot, and he needed to resolve this uneasiness by controlling others.After he cuts off Xiao Fangdao, he will use martial arts to recruit relatives to test how much the young master Zhufeng raised by Zuo Bakong has. But that depends on who her husband-in-law is—that youthful young man who ran away at the Laba Banquet, He Chengyi chose a good match for her, but because of He Zhiyou's injury, the verbal engagement became a joke, and now The situation has changed several times, and the two may not be able to continue their relationship. This might not be a good talk.

He prepared many retreats for the villa.

But he understands that what he chased has become a phantom, and the rest are just responsibilities imposed by the world.Putting all arrangements on the "next generation" is the first step in sending yourself into the coffin.

The rising sun has everything in the daytime, but the setting sun has only afterglow and eternal night.

"You'er is an obedient and good boy, why should he be punished severely." He sneered and planned to leave.

"Master." She stopped him.

He Cheng stopped and looked back.

"Tomorrow is the fifteenth day. I've done a fortune telling and it's auspicious."

He Cheng didn't expect her to wish him this way, so he couldn't help being a little surprised: "Really?"

"Yes."

She quietly stared at the dominoes, dice and counting chips on the table. They were all made of ebony, black and shiny, and shone with a strange luster that should not be made of wood.

He Cheng nodded and said, "I hope so."

"Actually, I never regarded you as the murderer of my brother, never."

He Cheng slightly shrugged his shoulders, then calmed down slowly with a sigh: "...OK."

He Zhiyou watched the figure go away, and then continued her life on this table and chair.

She never wastes her time. In addition to reading, practicing calligraphy, planning, playing games, and waiting, she is also good at creating secrets.

The more hidden the secret, the more beautiful it is.

Death is definitely the breeding ground for the birth of great masterpieces.

This is not her imagination, but the insight brought by practice.
