he doesn't use a knife

The sky is rarely so bright.

In summer, there are always thunderstorms, hot days and cool evenings, as always.

When they only arrived at Jiumu City, Xue Lanling and the two hadn't seen rain for half a month.

No light rain, no heavy rain.

Only the rain of people's hearts has been pattering for a long time.

——The news of the tragic death of the Lin brothers and sisters came from the Tianyi Escort.

He died with several knives in his body!

No one dared to get involved with this matter, and no one dared to approach the Tianyi Escort at this critical juncture.

There are very few legends about the Tianyi Escort in the world.

But almost everyone understood that as long as they were in Tongzhou and here, they would not be able to escape the eyes and ears of the Tianyi Escort.

There is a restaurant in Jiumu City.

The restaurant has three floors, and there are two unwritten rules.

The first rule: Anonymous people are not allowed to enter the building.

The second rule: Those without status are not allowed to go upstairs.

And now, Xue Lanling was sitting on the third floor of the restaurant.

Together with Duan Yishuang.

It's easy to figure out that he can't get the honor of the Demon Sect's Flying Flower Sect, let alone reveal his identity—the only thing he can get is Duan Yishuang's honor.

The famous flawless sword.

——Wuxiajian is a respectable figure in the rivers and lakes.

No matter where Wuxiajian went, whenever he wanted to reveal his identity, there would be someone who would show his hospitality.

They have lived and lived in the open for a long time.

——For the Lin brothers and sisters.

Now that the matter is over, they have the confidence to be free again.

Duan Yishuang has never been satisfied with her disguised face.

Admittedly, he wasn't one to judge by appearances.

But there is absolutely no reason in the world to appreciate an unattractive face.

They are sitting on the top of the restaurant.

The windows are wide open, and the sunlight from the eaves is also bright. If you look down, you can see the long street with people coming and going, and the post station where cars and horses alternate.

The terrain here is very good, and this is also the restaurant with the best business in Jiumu City.

Xue Lanling is a person who doesn't like drinking.

When there is no need to drink, he prefers tea.

Xue Lanling only drinks this bowl of tea.

Tea is not bitter tea, and tea is not weak tea, the steamed tea is refreshing and fragrant, making people want to drink again after drinking it, like a wine worm, quite addictive.

Duan Yishuang was also drinking tea.

He never cared whether the tea was bitter or sweet, light or strong, and his expression was always indifferent when drinking tea.

Duan Yishuang still had something hidden in her heart.

In fact, he always hides many things, and people can't find them, and they can't find the source.

But Duan Yishuang's current concern is something that Xue Lanling can easily guess.

——Duan Yishuang is still melancholy about the matter of Tianwenzhai and Lianhuanxie.

This melancholy is not difficult to understand.

Because the famous Wuxiajian has been walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, from the age of 15 to the present age, what he has heard and seen is always how the eight sects save people from suffering, how to fight for righteousness - and how kind and magnanimous they are , frank and straightforward.

Duan Yishuang is not a fool who likes blind spots.

He would not blindly believe in the Eight Great Sects because of such rumors, but it was also hard not to believe in the Eight Great Sects because of such rumors.

Duan Yishuang didn't want to think that everyone in the Eight Great Schools was a masked hypocrite.

But he still wondered why Tianwenzhai and Lianhuanxie, where everyone was doing good deeds and had such a prominent reputation in the Jianghu, would have such a sinister, decisive, and repaying hall master, and a The incense master who goes with him?

This is what Duan Yishuang can't figure out.

This is Duan Yishuang's concern.

——He is different from Xue Lanling.

In Xue Lanling's eyes, he could only see a gloomy abyss, a ruthless and heartless indifference.

When Duan Yishuang saw those eyes, he would think of these.

——Maybe it's because Xue Lanling lived far away from the Central Plains, in the desert, in the Demon Cult, for too long.

Duan Yishuang took the last sip.

Xue Lanling suddenly said: "I heard that there are three famous delicacies in Tongzhou."

Duan Yishuang turned her head, raised her eyes, and saw Xue Lanling's smiling face first, which was reflected golden by the afternoon sun.

He said: "Tofu, celery, carp."

Xue Lanling said: "My brother has been to so many places, and he is no stranger to Tongzhou's delicacies."

Duan Yishuang said: "Tofu is not bad, but carp is not bad."

Xue Lanling asked, "Is celery bad?"

Duan Yishuang smiled very lightly, and he replied: "No, it's because Mu Chang doesn't like celery, so I've never ordered this kind of dish."

Xue Lanling asked casually, "Mu Chang and you are close friends who have been close to each other through life and death?"

Duan Yishuang said: "Walking in the world requires friends. Mu Chang and I are partners in times of trouble and close friends."

Xue Lanling asked again: "Then what am I?"

Duan Yishuang said: "What are you?"

Xue Lanling put Bai Yuxiao on the table, a cold smile appeared in his eyes.

——"Yeah, I have also shared weal and woe with you, and reluctantly confessed my heart a few times... What am I? A partner, friend, friend, best friend—or a bosom friend?"

Duan Yishuang was startled, shook her head and said, "I can't be friends with you."

Xue Lanling asked, "Because I was once the leader of the Demon Cult?"

Duan Yishuang said: "No, it's someone like me who doesn't deserve to be your friend."

There was a moment of silence.

Xue Lanling's voice was soft, with a slightly raised end: "A person like you?"

Duan Yishuang said: "A kind person."

Xue Lanling asked, "Oh?"

Duan Yishuang said: "An honest person."

Xue Lanling smiled and said, "Is this what I said?"

Duan Yishuang said: "This is what everyone has said."

Xue Lanling turned his head away, no longer looking at him, only showing half of his face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Xue Lanling said clearly: "Duan Daxia means that I am the same as others, no difference?"

Duan Yishuang didn't speak.

Xue Lanling didn't get angry because of his acquiescence.

Xue Lanling only said: "That's not bad - I am already the same as ordinary people in the world, and I have never had any differences."

The third floor of the restaurant is very quiet.

Outside the window it is clear that people are coming and going, brushing shoulders one after another, but no matter how loud the shouts are, it cannot be higher than the tall buildings, nor can it leap over the corner of the window sill.

It's so quiet here that you can even hear your breathing.

That low and hoarse voice fell into Duan Yishuang's ears.

Like thunder, more like a gust of wind.

Xue Lanling said to him: "So you must remember what kind of person I am."

——If it is said that they broke up unhappily, it can only be said that they can't break up without saying goodbye.

But when they left the restaurant, Xue Lanling did not say a word to Duan Yishuang.

Duan Yishuang was a very silent person.

He has always been like this, and he used to be able to not speak for a whole day and a whole month.

If it is not necessary, he will never open his mouth - so much so that Mu Chang once made fun of him, if he does not open his mouth again, Wuxia Sword will have to be changed to Silent Sword.

And now, Duan Yishuang can remain silent as before.

He was very silent, and Xue Lanling was also silent.

When two people are unwilling to talk, they will become very alienated and strange.

Even if they walk side by side, no one will feel that they are on the same road.

——They will be like two strangers who have never met before.

Maybe they just didn't know each other.

They just met by chance, each has its own secrets, and each has unspeakable thoughts hidden in each other.

——People have secrets, and people also have their own goals that they want to achieve.

Duan Yishuang clearly knew that he and Xue Lanling were not on the same path.

Sooner or later they will part ways.

The two walked for a while in silence, when Xue Lanling suddenly stopped.

Duan Yishuang also stopped after him.

They stopped in front of the Tianji Building.

——And the reason why it stopped was because there was a person sitting in front of the Tianji Building.

Just at noon, the scorching sun hangs in the sky, it is hot and scorching, and the shadow is almost shrinking into a small spot.

The man was dressed in green clothes, wearing a scholar's scarf on his head, sitting on the floor, surrounded by wine jars, he looked like a depressed scholar.

However, he carried a long sword on his back.

He is also sitting in front of the secret building.

——In Tongzhou Jiumu City, Zhanyue Palace, one of the eight sects, is the main one.

At this time of turmoil in the court, state government officials are useless, and the power of the rivers and lakes is greater than everything else.

Zhanyue Palace governs several large-scale industries in Puxi City, Tongzhou, and the Tianji Building is built in Jiumu City to provide information for people who come and go.

The external slogan of Tianji Building has always been that you know everything, you can see the secrets.

The Jiumu City, which is full of flowers and brocades, and the majestic Tianji Building.

The scribe in Tsing Yi should have been drinking for a long time.

He reeked of alcohol, and the people around him surrounded him tightly, still discussing in low voices.

——This is not the first time he sat in front of the Tianji Building!

——He has been here for half a month, and he can't be shaken by thunder or blown away by the wind. He always sits here and drinks!

The person who bought the drunk actually bought the drunk in front of the Tianji Building.

After a while, someone also came out from the Tianji building.

The sideburns are gray, and the beard is also white.

The steward of Tianji Building is an old man over sixty years old.

Leaning on a stick, he bent his body, and his voice was loud and clear: "Xiashi Yu, go away! I, Tianjilou, can't do anything about what you want to investigate! You'd better leave as soon as possible!"

These words rushed into the crowd, causing exclamations from all around.

The crowd was noisy.

——Tianjilou actually said frankly that there are things in this world that they can't even find out!

——It turns out that there are secrets in the rivers and lakes that Tianjilou can't do anything about? !

——What kind of terrible thing can make Tianjilou powerless?

The scribe in Tsing Yi listened, lowered his head and laughed, the laughter continued, and became louder and louder as he stood up, until he raised his head, laughed up to the sky, and his face turned red from laughing.

He couldn't stand steadily, because he was very drunk, and his whole body was staggering.

But he stood up, and in an instant, the sword was out!

With the sword on his back, he drew the sword from his side shoulder, as fast as a thunderstorm, as startled as lightning, the sword light swept away, and he was about to break into the secret building!

The steward of Tianjilou didn't change his expression, he only took a step back.

The Tianjilou guards on both sides immediately went up to meet the sword, and wrestled with the scribes in Tsing Yi.

They went through a total of sixteen rounds.

The long sword was held in the hands of the Tsing Yi scribe, but the sword body was broken and disintegrated by every inch of internal force.

The sword became a pile of scrap metal and fell to the ground.

The scribe in Tsing Yi smiled lowly, bent over, scooped up the last jug of wine on the ground, drank a couple of sips on his back, and drifted away with his body swaying.

He said loudly: "Everyone in this Jianghu knows the Eight Great Sects, but no one knows the Eight Great Sects!"

The figure walked further and further away, and the crowd also dispersed.

Xue Lanling didn't say a word, but followed the figure.

The author has something to say: the second volume is here!

This volume contains: Childish couples (fake) quarreling scene (real), Xiaoyi eating vinegar collection, perfect performance of God assists, cece

Please look forward to the specific plot!
