The rivers and lakes are full of vests

The sky is collapsing all around, but Shi Qi is in the middle of it with a calm expression. She scans the surroundings, as if she is looking for someone.

A faint voice sounded from behind her, "Why don't you go?"

Shi Qi turned around slowly and stared at the woman with a haggard face who stood in front of her.

The hatred and killing intent flashed in her eyes for a moment, but it all faded away when she recalled some remaining memories of the past.

In the flames, the woman who resolutely picked her up and carried her away from the fire had silver hair and a stern face. The first thing she said to her was "Don't be afraid" in a gentle voice.

On the day of leaving the dark cellar, the woman did not arrange her to sleep with other disciples in the sect, but took her to the next door to her room, had dinner with her, and personally taught her martial arts and sword practice.

Sometimes the woman treats her harshly, whipping her with a slender cane if she makes a wrong sword move, and sometimes treats her gently and lovingly, tucking her quilt up after she is asleep.

When she was young, she didn't understand why women were so contradictory. It wasn't until she was fifteen years old, when she saw a woman crying in the room, holding a girl's clothes and muttering to herself, that she suddenly realized that women want an outstanding disciple. , I also want an obedient and well-behaved daughter.

The woman sees the shadow of her dead daughter in her, and her devotion, which looks foolish to others, is not a way of expressing grief for her loved ones in the woman.

In a way, they are equally sad.

Shi Qi looked at her coldly and asked, "Now that you have avenged your revenge, are you happy?"

Shi Qinghan was taken aback, but did not answer.

Shi Qi's body couldn't help shaking, she shouted sharply: "Answer me! Are you happy now!"

Shi Qinghan pulled the corners of his lips and said calmly: "Seventeen, I know what you want to say. You want to accuse me of destroying humanity for revenge and killing innocent people indiscriminately, right? Yes, I killed many innocent people for revenge." She paused, and then said: "But I don't regret it, I don't regret everything I have done."

Shi Qi's trembling increased, she wanted to ask what you did to me, have you ever regretted it?

But in the end, she still couldn't ask, what's the point of regretting it now?

The underground palace was shaking more and more violently, Shi Qinghan quickly glanced around and pulled her over and pushed her forward, "Go!"

Not far from Shiqi, there was a long and narrow gap, inside which was a gurgling underground river.

Seeing that Shi Qi didn't move, Shi Qinghan pushed her again, "Let's go! What are you still doing!"

There was a crack in the ground under Seventeen's feet, she was in a trance, and she was about to fall into it before she had time to stop her feet, Shi Qinghan grabbed her, pulled her up with force, then hit the long and narrow crack with a palm, The gap then widened.

"Go!"

Shi Qi stumbled and stood still, turned around and saw Shi Qinghan jumped into the crack in the ground, in the dark underground palace, she didn't have time to see clearly what the three words Shi Qinghan said with his lips moving when he fell?

The underground palace made a loud noise, and everything was falling rapidly. She didn't have time to think, she stepped on a piece of gravel flying in mid-air, jumped forward with her strength, and jumped into the underground river in the gap.

With a "bang", the entire underground palace suddenly fell into the abyss.

Those plots, tricks, desires, and sins were buried underground forever with the collapse of the underground palace.

......

Fu Peibai's eyes were tightly closed, and the glare of the sun made her unable to open them. A white figure flashed through her mind in the chaos of her consciousness. After taking a deep breath, she suddenly opened her eyes and shouted: "Seventeen!"

The falcon flew across the sky, neighing, and the surrounding area was withered and broken.

She knelt on the ground, planing the debris on the ground with her bare hands, and shouted uncontrollably: "Seventeen, seventeen, seventeen..."

Under the remnants at the side, Sang Yunshi led Lu Qingwan out. After she settled Lu Qingwan, she walked to Fu Peibai's side and said in a deep voice, "She...can't escape at Seventeen?"

Fu Peibai's body froze, and then he scraped the stone chips more violently, "No... no."

"Fu Peibai, you, calm down." Sang Yunshi pressed her shoulder, but she swung it away. Fu Peibai said hoarsely: "No, Seventeen will be fine!"

A pair of crimson eyes, water swaying.

Sang Yunshi opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end she couldn't bear to persuade her anymore, "I'll go and settle Wan'er down first, and then I'll come back and look for you."

Fu Peibai didn't pay attention, her subordinates kept moving, hot tears fell on the back of her hand, choked up and murmured: "Don't leave me...don't."

As time passed, her fingertips were stained with blood, but she was still digging tirelessly.The sun was so dizzy that she couldn't open her eyes, she was in a daze, and she didn't notice anyone approaching her.

Shi Qi is gone, and she shouldn't exist in this world anymore.

When the consciousness was hazy, a faint human voice sounded in the ears.

"Fu Peibai, wake up, we have to go, the guards of the capital have already rushed over here."

"Mr. Fu, cheer up and get out of here first."

"Brother Fu, Brother Fu!"

"..."

Fu Peibai collapsed on the ground, she squinted her eyes halfway, looking at the faces blurred by the sunlight above, but there was still no one she wanted to see the most.

She closed her eyes in despair, letting her consciousness sink into the darkness.

......

This is a secluded small courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing. In the courtyard sits a young man with a dazed expression and a desolate figure.

Beside her was a magnolia tree that was blooming luxuriantly. A gust of breeze blew by, and the green leaves and white petals fell down, and a few fell on her lap, but she didn't notice it.

This was the third day Fu Peibai came here, and also the fifth day after the underground palace collapsed.

At the end of that day, Sang Yunshi, Sima Tuo, and Wen Moyao brought her back. After waking up, she was silent and very quiet. She just sat in the courtyard every day, from sunrise to sunset, His eyes were fixed on the courtyard door, as if he was waiting for someone to come back.

With a "squeak", the door opened, and the brilliance in her eyes lit up for a moment, but it disappeared in an instant after seeing the person coming.

Sang Yunshi approached her, sighed inaudibly and said: "We asked someone to ask, the remains of the underground palace have been cleaned up by the imperial court, and there is no Seventeen in the cleaned up corpses."

Fu Peibai's throat moved, but no sound came out.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Facing the question, Fu Peibai looked up at Sang Yunshi with confused eyes.

What is her plan?All future plans are related to Seventeen, but now that person is gone and left her, what other plans can she have?

"People who are alive should live a good life, and Shi Qi will definitely not want to see you like this." Sang Yunshi comforted.

Fu Peibai lowered his head, looked at the white and delicate petals on his knees, and remained silent.

Sang Yunshi didn't say anything, and left the small courtyard. In the next few days, Sima Tuo came to visit her, Wen Moyao came, and Li Jingming also came after hearing the news. After learning everything, she was shocked and stammered comforted her.

But Fu Peibai remained indifferent to their enlightenment and comfort.

It was another clear morning, and Fu Peibai was sitting in the courtyard wearing a long robe. Her long hair was hanging loose, her face was sickly white, her eyes were black and blue, and the twilight light fell on her body, half-closed. The face with closed eyes looked tired, as if about to fall asleep.

The speed of the world in front of her seemed to slow down, and the petals on the top of her head spun in mid-air for a while, slowly falling as her eyelids opened and closed.

She stretched out her hand, but caught nothing, and the petal fell on her cheek. She was stunned for a moment, and when she was about to raise her hand to take it, a white and slender finger appeared in her sight, and the finger landed on her face. , the temperature of the fingertips is slightly cool.

She suddenly opened her eyes wide, sat up suddenly, and the leaves and petals on her body fell off instantly.

Standing in front of him was a woman with bright eyes and white teeth smiling like a flower.

Fu Peibai's lips trembled, he couldn't speak a word, and even began to wonder if this was Zhuang Zhouzhou's dream.

But the woman standing in front of her, with her slender and graceful eyebrows, and crystal clear light-colored eyes, is clearly the person she dreams of day and night.

"Ape."

A whisper in a soft voice, the voice engraved in my mind.

Fu Peibai's heart was beating violently. She stood up and hugged the woman. The warm body temperature was transmitted between the skin and skin. At this moment, she really realized that it is really Seventeen, and Seventeen is not dead. .

Tears burst out of his eyes in an instant, and the emotions that had been suppressed for many days suddenly broke out. Fu Peibai burst into tears, and the salty tears fell into his teeth.

Shi Qi stroked her back and whispered, "I'm sorry, A Pei."

Fu Peibai shook his head and muttered: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back... I thought you left me."

In the past few days, she was like a walking corpse, living in a daze, until now she seemed to be alive.

It took a while before she recovered, wiped away the tears from her face, and looked around Shiqi, "Is there any injury?"

Seventeen shook his head, "No."

"How did you escape?"

Shi Qi's eyes darkened and he didn't answer.

Fu Peibai didn't ask any more questions, he gently embraced her, and softly comforted her, "Everything is over, it's over."

The morning light in the distance pierced through the clouds and shone on the land of the world, finally dispelling the chill and the shadows that were dark and dark.

......

In the bustling and noisy tea shop, people were chatting enthusiastically about the major events that happened in the world recently.

First, the tomb of the former dynasty suddenly collapsed, and it was completely destroyed overnight, turning into ruins, and was closely guarded by the imperial court.

It is rumored that this incident was caused by martial arts sects from all sides fighting each other for the secret treasure of Dengling Mausoleum.

This is a major event that caused a sensation in the Jianghu. After all, many old sects fell instantly, and the layout of hundreds of schools in the Jianghu was reshuffled. There is no longer a sect in the martial arts world that can command the martial arts sects.

And the second is another major event related to the world. On the ninth day of June in the 18th year of Pingyuan, Emperor Mingde of Dashuo died after two years of lingering illness. In the spirit, the new emperor was assassinated by eunuchs in the East Palace before he ascended the throne, and the court was shaken up and down. Zhou Wang and Wu Wang sent troops from the fiefs, intending to enter Beijing and eliminate the gang of traitors. Several other forces responded to the situation. One after another, they sent troops to Kyoto under the slogan of beheading traitors and provoking the country.

Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see the current situation. It is almost the same as when the previous dynasty fell. There is no master in the country, the imperial city is empty, and the world is in turmoil. Whoever can enter Beijing first among these forces will get the upper hand.

"Guest officer, the almond cake you want is ready." The servant said, and handed the wrapped snack to Fu Peibai.

Fu Peibai took it, handed over the copper plate, then left the tea shop, got on his horse and ran towards the small courtyard where he stayed on the outskirts of the city.

"Seventeen, I'm back." She shouted and pushed open the courtyard door, but the woman who was usually enjoying the shade in the courtyard at this moment was nowhere to be seen.

Fu Peibai's heart tightened, she put the snacks on the stone table, strode to the front of the house, pushed open the door, she didn't feel relieved until she saw a slender figure sitting quietly by the window in the house, and then slowed down Walking over, he asked, "Why don't you go out to enjoy the shade today?"

Seventeen looked back at her, smiled slightly and said, "I'm a little tired."

Fu Peibai looked at the blackness in front of her eyes, and felt distressed, "Then wash up and go to bed early."

Since Shiqi returned safely, they have stayed in this small courtyard for nearly half a month. During the past half month, Shiqi behaved as usual, without any depression or sadness on his face, but the more so, the more Fu Peibai became more serious. worry.

She tried to explain to Shi Qi, but every time she saw Shi Qi's tired face, she felt unable to speak, so she could only treat him more and more cautiously.
