Tao is ruthless

Shen Wuchun allowed Chen Lian to enter the Sutra Library, and Shen Changce learned the news that day.Anger and helplessness intertwined in his heart, thinking that Shen Wuchun was furious because he brought Su Nongqing into the scripture building, but now he let an outsider who only met once into the scripture building.

Shen Changce almost sneered, while Su Nongqing persuaded, "You just contradicted Master, and Master will inevitably be angry. Then Chen Lian may have gotten Master's favor by coincidence."

She looked at Shen Changce and said comfortingly: "The most important thing is that you apologize to Master first, and let Master calm down, otherwise, wouldn't the classics in the scripture building be cheap for outsiders."

Shen Changce looked down at Su Nongqing, "Master is so merciless to you, you want me to apologize to him?"

Su Nongqing lowered her eyebrows, "I did something wrong, and I admit that Master beats and punishes me. I just can't bear to see you and Master quarrel because of me."

Shen Changce sighed softly, "Master should really listen to my sister's sincere words. However, master is not like my sister, even if he hears it, his hard-hearted heart will not be moved."

Su Nongqing smiled, sat down beside her, and said, "How can I compare with Master, who is a world-renowned hero. What about me? Without Senior Brother, there is no place for me in this world."

Shen Changce comforted Su Nongqing, "Junior Sister, don't be discouraged. One day, sooner or later, Junior Sister will become a first-class kendo master and a famous heroine."

Su Nongqing smiled, "I don't have such a big ambition, I just want to meet someone I like and travel the rivers and lakes with him."

Su Nongqing propped her head up, her eyes full of yearning, "If I fall in love with someone in the future, I will definitely treat him very well. Joke with him, entertain him, and I can also cook, so I can make something for him... "..." Su Nongqing laughed as she thought about it.She looked a little shy, and said: "Am I a bit hopeless, I don't look like a chivalrous girl...don't laugh at me."

Shen Changce shook his head, "I think it's pretty good. Junior sister is so gentle and understanding. If Master can be like you, I'd be so happy."

Su Nongqing looked at Shen Changce, the smile on her face gradually faded, she lowered her head, "I really envy Master... I envy Master for having you by his side."

Shen Changce was taken aback, then looked at Su Nongqing.Su Nongqing took a deep look at him, and there was something very complicated in that look, nostalgia, extravagant hope, as if he would burn if he touched it.

The bright moon was in the sky, and the watery moonlight fell on the snow, and the shadow of the plum forest under the moon rustled and swayed softly on the snow.Shen Changce looked at Su Nongqing's eyes, which clearly reflected his own shadow, as if in her eyes, he was the only one left in the world.

Shen Changce was hoarse and couldn't say a word.

Su Nongqing leaned forward and planted a soft and tender kiss on his lips.

"I know I shouldn't have such delusions, but if liking can be controlled, then it's not liking." Su Nongqing looked at Shen Changce devoutly, and tears fell when she laughed, "Just take it as a gift for me. It's a dream."

Shen Changce stepped into the small building again, Shen Wuchun stood on the second floor looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and saw Shen Changce coming from afar.

The windows on the second floor are fan-shaped, hollowed out and carved lattice windows, and hung with some light curtains.

Standing downstairs, Shen Changce looked up at Shen Wuchun. Shen Wuchun was dressed in plain white and wore a crane cloak, looking as pure as a fairy in the sky.He looked down at Shen Changce, his eyes calm.

Shen Changce's eyes are complicated. He used to love Shen Wuchun and his aloofness, but now when he looks at Shen Wuchun, he feels that he is superior and annoying.

Why can't you be kind and gentle.

Shen Wuchun asked: "What are you doing here?"

Shen Changce looked up at Shen Wuchun, and said, "Chang Ce is here to make amends to Master. Chang Ce shouldn't have contradicted Master before, and asked Master to forgive me."

Shen Wuchun put his hands on the railing, and a piece of jade bracelet was exposed under the hem of his clothes. He looked at Shen Changce lightly, and said, "You are not convinced in your heart, so you don't need to apologize to me."

Standing below, Shen Changce was under the scrutiny of Shen Wuchun, and he felt an indescribable embarrassment in his heart, even Shen Wuchun was a little hateful.

"Junior sister just made a mistake for a while, why can't you give her a chance?"

Shen Wuchun's voice was still calm, "Why should I give her a chance?"

"She is your disciple!"

"It's not what I'm willing to accept."

Shen Changce looked straight at Shen Wuchun, "Admit it, ever since you accepted her as your apprentice, you have been very reluctant. If you made a mistake, you must expel her from the sect."

"I'm not so free, I just stare at her mistakes every day." Shen Wuchun didn't feel the slightest mood swing because of Shen Changce's words, "You came looking for me, what's the matter?"

Shen Changce opened his mouth, he was here to apologize, but seeing Shen Wuchun's ruthless appearance, he couldn't hold back his temper.He lowered his head, and after a while, he said sullenly, "That Chen Lian, why did you allow him to enter the Sutra Pavilion?"

Shen Wuchun glanced at Shen Changce, "Because the Sutra Pavilion is mine, whoever I want to enter can enter. Instead of worrying about these messy things here, you might as well practice swords and sharpen your impetuousness .”

Shen Changce and Shen Wuchun broke up again. To be precise, Shen Changce left the small building in anger.After he left, the dumb girl went up to the second floor with tea, and said: "I just said that I want you to coax him, but you made him go away again." '

Shen Wuchun closed his eyes, went back to the couch and lay down, and said, "I'm also very angry."

Dumb girl was very surprised, she thought that Shen Wuchun would not have such emotions because of Shen Changce.

"I don't want to see him anymore, Shen Changce, Su Nongqing, I don't want to see him anymore." When he said this, he looked like a wayward child.But he was lying there with lowered brows and eyes, which made people feel distressed.

Who can bear to make Shen Wuchun wronged?

Dumb girl sighed softly, walked to him, bent down and combed Shen Wuchun's long hair, "If you can't take care of these things, don't ask about them for now."When Chen Lian leaves, you can retreat.When you leave customs, it will be next spring. '

'I will arrange everything, appease Chang Ce for you, and look after Su Ningqing. Dumb Aunt patiently accompanied Shen Wuchun, "You just need to wait for the arrival of next spring." '

Shen Wuchun lay down in the soft brocade quilt, he looked into the dumb aunt's eyes, thinking about next spring, thinking about Fu Jiu.Winter will pass, and spring will come soon.

The days passed by in a flash, and the New Year in Fuyu Mountain was deserted and tense.Shen Wuchun retreated, so the dumb aunt didn't do much. She only heard that Shen Changce and Su Nongqing ran down the mountain on New Year's Eve, and they didn't return until the next morning.The relationship between the two of them is getting better and better. They study swordsmanship together and get along day and night, which is a bit like a couple of gods and gods.

Shen Changce was still thinking about Shen Wuchun, probably because of what the dumb aunt said to him, his dissatisfaction with Shen Wuchun gradually dissipated.That day he came to the small building to see Shen Wuchun, but of course Shen Wuchun didn't see him.He went back sadly alone, and met Su Nongqing on the way back.Su Nongqing was waiting for him.She knew that Shen Wuchun didn't like her, so she stayed away, holding a lamp, and waited for Shen Changce to come back.

A lamp on a cold winter night looks so warm.

Lichun passed in a blink of an eye, that day when Shen Wuchun left the customs, he found Shen Changce and Su Nongqing, and told them that he was going down the mountain to Luoyang to attend the martial arts conference.

Unlike Fuyu Mountain, which is severely cold all year round, Luoyang and other places are already snowing and early spring.As soon as Shen Wuchun, Shen Changce, and Su Nongqing stepped into Luoyang, they could feel the completely different atmosphere from Fuyu Mountain.

Because the martial arts conference is coming soon, there are many Jianghu people who come to Luoyang, and there are Jianghu people with weapons in their hands and dust in the streets and alleys.The vendors and stores here took advantage of the wind of the martial arts conference, and all the things they sold were related to the martial arts conference, and the various weapon shops were overcrowded.From time to time, a group of dozens of people can be seen, all dressed in the same costumes, neat and orderly—most of them are from sects.

Shen Wuchun sat in the carriage with his eyes closed to calm his nerves, while Shen Changce and Su Nongqing were driving outside.The chariots and horses rattled and stopped in front of an inn.

Shen Changce's voice came through the curtain, "Master, the Ruyi Inn is here."

Shen Wuchun lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. Shen Changce and Su Nongqing followed behind him, and the three of them walked into the inn together.

The inn is very large, but the interior decoration is simple. The lobby on the first floor is full of tables and chairs. Looking around, all the people sitting are quacks.At the junction of the stairs on all sides, there is a table with a storyteller on it, who is telling the anecdotes of Jianghu who don't know which year and month.

If a person is in the Jianghu but does not know Ruyi Inn, then he is definitely not a Jianghu person.

Shen Wuchun stepped into the Ruyi Inn, and in an instant, countless eyes focused on him.Some people saw his good looks and extraordinary demeanor, some saw his incomprehensible martial arts, and some recognized Shen Changce and Su Nongqing behind him.

When everyone's eyes met, they were all wondering, when did this person appear in the Jianghu?

Shen Wuchun and the others went straight to the counter, but the shopkeeper didn't change his face.At the time of the Martial Arts Conference, many reclusive seniors and masters will show up. If they don't even have this concentration, they don't deserve to be called Ruyi Inn.

"I need three upper rooms." Shen Changce said.

"Okay." The shopkeeper took out the door number and asked the staff to lead them up.

"I want a room in Tongque Terrace." Shen Wuchun said suddenly.

The shopkeeper paused, looked at Shen Wuchun, and asked tentatively: "The guest officer wants the room in Tongque Terrace?"

Shen Wuchun took out a jade pendant from his sleeve. The word Ruyi was written on the front of the jade pendant, and a plum blossom was carved on the back.

When the shopkeeper saw it, his complexion changed drastically, he came out from behind the counter, and personally led Shen Wuchun and others upstairs.

On the third floor of the inn, there is an open-air covered bridge, and under the bridge is a clear water.Across a clear water, there are two other tall buildings.The two tall buildings are divided into two semicircles, sandwiching a high platform in the middle of the lake.That high platform is Tongque Terrace.

Shen Wuchun and the others walked towards the building on the right, and after entering, there was a world of wonder.

Shen Changce looked at the scene inside the Tongque Terrace, and saw a whole area of ​​neatly arranged rooms connected by a large spiral staircase.The doors of each room are closed, except for the maids who come and go to serve, there is no one else walking around.

A red rope protruded from each door, and a ball was hung on it. The owner wrote down the things he needed and put them in the ball, and slid along the red rope to the first floor. door-to-door.

"What a delicate idea." It was also the first time for Su Nongqing to enter the Tongque Terrace, so she couldn't help sighing when she saw this situation.

Shen Wuchun entered the house directly, the room was clean and elegant, with tables, chairs and beds, orchids and herbs were placed on the high table, and there were three or two paintings by everyone hanging on the wall.

Shen Wuchun pushed open the window, and the blue waves outside the window were facing the Tongque Terrace.Someone was competing on the Tongque Stage, Shen Changce took a look.

"The Martial Arts Conference is coming soon, and those who come to participate will inevitably compete in martial arts before the official start." Shen Wuchun held his hands behind his back, "Tongque Terrace is a place for people to compete, and it has its own set of rules. Win a match here , and then there are many people who become famous all over the world overnight."

"Whoever comes to the Tongque Terrace to compete, the winner can hang the bronze medal with his name on the Tongque Terrace. When the person above is defeated, the name will be taken down. Therefore, not everyone dares to come to the Tongque Terrace. A martial arts competition on the sparrow platform." Shen Wuchun glanced at Shen Changce, "You can go up and try, find some people, and try your skills."

Shen Changce said yes, and Shen Wuchun finally looked at him with a gentler gaze, and explained: "Most of the martial arts decent people's sparring ends at the end, and they won't be injured before the meeting. But there are also many heretics, you have to be careful These people cannot compromise their strength before the conference begins."

Shen Changce nodded.Su Nongqing stood by the door with her head lowered, listening to Shen Wuchun's explanation to Shen Changce with a submissive attitude.

Over there, Shen Wuchun finished talking with Shen Changce, and said: "It's exhausting, go and rest."

Shen Changce got up, saluted Shen Wuchun together with Su Nongqing, then withdrew and returned to their respective rooms.

Night slowly enveloped Luoyang City. This city is a city that never sleeps. Once night falls, the streets are full of lights, making it more lively than daytime.

The location of Tongque Terrace is good, on top of tall buildings, overlooking the street view.Shen Wuchun stood by the window, looking into the thick night.

Luoyang is a good place, the ancient capital of thousands of years, filled with the aftertaste of the dynasty and the romance of the rivers and lakes.When the peonies bloom, the whole Luoyang is full of flowers, and the knights with swords pass by, setting off a rain of peonies.

Fu Jiu loved the peonies in Luoyang very much. He was a foreigner, and the place where he was born was full of yellow sand. The first time he passed Luoyang with Shen Wuchun, he fell in love with this charming flower in the Central Plains.

He once said that Yulou and Jinque returned lazily and drunk Luoyang with plum blossoms.Later, he was really imprisoned here in Luoyang for ten years.

Shen Wuchun clenched his fists unconsciously, his eyes were cold.

Suddenly, the candles in the room flickered, and Shen Wuchun turned around immediately, but he only smelled a faint fragrance.Then his body froze and he couldn't move immediately.

A light person fell from the beam, walked up to Shen Wuchun carefully, and looked at him, "It's so easy to get tricked? It seems that you haven't made much progress in these years."

Shen Wuchun looked at the person in front of him, he had a very strange face, looking at himself with a teasing expression.His foot was extremely stable, his toes were on the ground, and his heels were floating. The few steps he walked in front of Shen Wuchun made no sound at all.

He is a master of lightness kung fu, and he can change his appearance.Shen Wuchun looked at him indifferently, "Jin Duoyan."

The man smiled, "It's me, it's me. I recently took on a job to steal someone for a friend."

Jin Duoyan is the number one thief in the world.He is good at light work, good at disguise, and good at concealed weapons. He once entered and left the palace, and stole a golden jade dress brought as a tribute by the Koreans, and he has become famous since then.Over the years, the court has promised a lot of money to hunt him down, but so far no one has seen his true face.

Shen Wuchun was drugged and unable to move.Jin Duoyan wrapped him in the quilt on the bed, carried him on his shoulders, stepped on the window, and melted into the night in a few strokes.

This is not the first time Jin Duoyan has come to this place, it is deserted, only a dead old locust tree and a well.Jin Duoyan carried Shen Wuchun on his shoulders and turned down the well.

Shen Wuchun couldn't see, he only felt that he had walked for a long time, and occasionally he could hear the sound of the trigger mechanism and the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air.So he guessed that the road that Jin Duoyan took was a road full of traps.

Finally, Jin Duoyan stopped, he put Shen Wuchun on the ground, and shouted inside, "I brought you here, I'm leaving first."

Jin Duoyan's voice gradually faded away, followed by another footstep.Shen Wuchun felt that she was picked up and put on the bed.The quilt covering his face was lifted, and Shen Wuchun heard a familiar voice that could no longer be familiar, which repeatedly appeared in his dreams.

"Shen Wuchun, long time no see."

Shen Wuchun's eyes trembled slightly, he opened them, and met a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, hiding madness deep inside.

The corners of Shen Wuchun's mouth trembled twice, and he slowly spit out a name, "Fu Jiu."

Fu Jiu sat by the bed, looking at Shen Wuchun with great interest.He looked at Shen Wuchun, and Shen Wuchun was also looking at him.

Fu Jiu's complexion was very pale, probably because he was locked up in this dark place, his face had an abnormal cold whiteness.In contrast, it seemed that his brows were thicker, like a ball of insoluble ink.

He was wearing a loose long-sleeved robe, which was embroidered with black peonies, as if the peonies in full bloom were burned to ashes in an instant, freezing the bloom and death at that moment.

This black peony, just like Fu Jiu, is both coquettish and decadent, both leisurely and crazy.

Fu Jiu stretched out his hand to caress Shen Wuchun's side face, his hand was cold, like a piece of ice.

"Shen Wuchun, I miss you so much." Fu Jiu spoke close to Shen Wuchun, and the breath he exhaled was also icy cold, which made Shen Wuchun feel chills in an instant.

Shen Wuchun's throat tightened, he knew that Fu Jiu hated him, and he also knew that the hatred had been fermenting in the past ten years, enough to drive people crazy.

He wanted to say something, but Fu Jiu didn't give him this chance.Fu Jiu took out a piece of black satin, pulled it into Shen Wuchun's mouth, and tied it in a knot at the back of his head.

He didn't like to listen to Shen Wuchun's words, and what Shen Wuchun said was not pleasant.But he likes to hear Shen Wuchun barking, Shen Wuchun barking is so nice.
