if you see snow

The officials retreated from the court, and the bureaucrats left the palace like swimming fish.The figures were scattered, and the sound of footsteps disappeared into silence. Only the man sitting on the cold stone seat and the tall and beautiful woman were left in the huge palace.

"Why don't you go?" Tantaijing lowered her dark gray eyes, and her icy eyes shrouded Jiang Xueya's whole body like the cold moonlight.

Jiang Xueya stood with her arms folded, tilted her head with a smile, "Isn't the Grand Master wanting the minister to stay?"

Tan Taijing's voice became colder and colder, "You are too presumptuous. Since you have been forgiven alone, you should shut yourself up and think about your mistakes instead of provoking again."

"provocative?"

Jiang Xueya raised her eyebrows in surprise, she suddenly stepped up, walked up the steps, and walked towards Tantaijing.In decades, no one has been as reckless as her.The Grand Master sits high in the Beichen Hall, and the nine steps show his noble status and separate him from others.He is like a saint sitting alone on a cloud, and his feet are all dust that wants to bow his head and pay homage to him.

At this moment, Jiang Xueya, a daring woman, stepped on his ninth step and walked towards him step by step.The soles of her boots polluted his pure land, and Tan Taijing's face became more and more condensed.

"This is provocation." Jiang Xueya smiled, blood slowly oozing from the corner of her mouth.

The king-like majestic Reiatsu silently exerted on her shoulders, forcing her to bow her head and stop her steps.After all, he is a mystic in the pilgrimage realm, the most domineering and powerful man in the world.His spirit is as heavy as mountains and seas, and you can only bow down piously in front of him, otherwise you will surely break your proud head.

However, Jiang Xueya seemed not afraid of death, she stubbornly raised her head, and approached him step by step.She braced herself against the pressure of Mount Tai collapsing, and the stone steps under her feet were cracked under the unbearable weight.She was still smiling, her eyes full of sarcasm and banter.

Tan Taijing silently watched her coming, she had grown up and was different from before.She is the disciple of his best friend, the Master in White Clothes, and has the same brotherhood with his only nephew, Su Ruhui.He saw her and Su Ruhui hooking shoulders and backs several times, laughing and laughing, and he also saw her and Sang Chiyu compete with blades and fight in the school field.She is different from the cynical Su Ruhui, and even more different from the desireless Sang Chiyu.He knew that this child worked hard and worked hard in the Secret Sect for more than ten years, all the way into Beichen Hall.

He took care of her, treating her as a younger child like Hui'er.He appreciated her courage and maturity, so he bestowed a marriage on Yunzhou, and let his only disciple enter into a marriage contract with her.It's just that he didn't expect that when a girl grows into a woman, what she desires is far beyond his imagination.

One and a half months ago, the secret sect discovered the evil spirit invasion for the first time. She dissected the monster and asked him to watch, but she didn't expect that the bones of the monster smelled fragrant, which made people feel confused and fascinated.It was an uncorrectable mistake, staining his life like an unclean blot.

Jiang Xueya finally walked in front of him, her body trembling slightly.She was already at the end of her strength, and she hadn't even reached the Fire Watching Realm, so she couldn't bear his majesty at all.But she didn't flinch, her eyes looking at Tantaijing were like hot coals.She knelt down on one knee in front of the Grand Master, held his white right hand with well-defined bones, and gently kissed his fingertips.

"But I don't want to provoke you," Jiang Xueya whispered, "I admire you, Grand Master."

"Looking at you like a nephew." Tan Taijing's face was as cold as a sculpture of ice.

"It's such an unfortunate coincidence that the Great Master Sect regards the minister as a nephew, but the minister regards the Great Master Sect as a lover. If my lover kills me, I will be happy with it."

"Hui'er died of illness in Kunlun, and Yu'er was reprimanded by Gu." Tantaijing stared at her with eyes as pale as glass, "Arrogant child, aren't you afraid of ending up like them?"

Jiang Xueya smiled slowly, "They blamed you for being hard-hearted, but is that really the case? A Hui is your sister's only flesh and blood. For five years, you have tried every means to prolong his life. Why don't you just want to wait for a miracle? Sang Chi Yu was brought into the secret sect by you. You gave him the status of the orphan of the Sang family, and you taught him his unparalleled sword skills. I dare to guess, you knew that he was a lowly half-demon, if you want his life, How could you wait until today, when the paper can't hold the fire? Back then, when you let him get married with the minister, it was to make the minister defend his thoughtful idea. Later, when the marriage failed, you abolished his secret technique and broke his right leg, in order to let him marry him. Harmless, in the future, when things happen in the east window, hundreds of schools will crusade, and they will not regard a useless person as a threat. Unfortunately, they only see your cold face, but cannot see your painstaking planning. Sang Chiyu insists on rebelling against the secret sect, why does your heart not hurt? ?”

Tan Taijing commented indifferently: "If you make wild guesses, you're pretending to be smart."

"The Grand Master was clearly seen through by his ministers, and he became angry from embarrassment." Jiang Xueya chuckled, "The Grand Master has the world in mind and cares for the people of the world. The world is narrow and the fields are limited, so there is no way to raise children who are constantly being born. Ten people share a bowl Ten people will die. Five people share a bowl of rice, and they can barely survive. Severe punishments and harsh laws are used to drive out the bad people, so that at least everyone in the world has food. But no one will thank you, even those who have enough food. Even the head of Guizhou with the belly will only complain that you live in the temple and don't know the sufferings of the world, so that they make their clothes ragged. Now that you have given up on the refugees outside the pass, I am afraid that the black street will hate you even more." She smiled slyly, "So I Bet Dazhangzong is soft-hearted, he will definitely not kill me."

Tantaijing slowly looked away, "Back off, I won't kill you."

Jiang Xueya's body trembled slightly, "I can't retreat even if I want to..."

She said, coughing up a mouthful of blood.The spiritual pressure hurt her muscles and bones, and the pressure she endured at this moment was no different from carrying a heavy bag.Even if the mystics have excellent physical fitness, they can't stand such torture.After Jiang Xueya finished speaking the last word, she passed out.She lost consciousness and tilted to one side, not in the direction of Tantaijing.There were nine basalt stone steps below, and Jiang Xueya was already kneeling on the edge of the steps. If she fainted like this, she might roll down the steps.Tantai Jing sat upright, seemingly indifferent, and let her fall down.

At the last moment, when Jiang Xueya was about to fall, a pair of plain white hands caught her, and she fell into Tantaijing's arms.

Tantaijing looked down at her sleeping face, and after a while, said:

"audacious in the extreme."

When Jiang Xueya woke up, she found herself lying on a couch.The quilt was incensed, it was a very familiar smell, Jiang Xueya had smelled it on him when he was in Tantaijing.She rubbed her shoulders and sat up, and found that it was a study room, and the charcoal fire was placed under the couch, warming her face.The skylight shines through the bamboo mats suspended under the floor covering, casting a lingering light and shadow on the floor tiles.

The pain in the muscles and bones is gone, it must be that Tantaijing found a healing occultist to heal her injuries.

The waiter knelt by the couch and presented a talisman, "Master Jiang."

Jiang Xueya grabbed the talisman, it was "Sky Eye", but it was used.When this charm is immersed in water, you can see what the "eye of heaven" spell saw at that time.What does Tan Taijing want to show her?There is a basin of water in the middle of the study, it seems that Tan Taijing prepared it for her.Jiang Xueya threw the talisman into the water, the talisman dissolved, and an image appeared in the water curtain.

Jiang Xueya looked at the shadow in the water and could tell at a glance that it was in the interrogation room of Infernal Prison.There is no other reason for recognizing so quickly, but because she also stayed in it for a long time.

Behind the bars was a man chained to a chair with his feet shackled.This person's face is very strange, and he is constantly changing his appearance, sometimes sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, sometimes handsome.Jiang Xueya knew that this must be a monster captured alive by the occult sect. This monster lacked spiritual power and could not imitate people well enough to fix it into a face.

The three star officials, Madayana, Lang Yaguang, and Kunwu, stood outside the fence and conducted a joint trial.

"How many demons are hidden in the world? What do you want to do?" Kunwu asked sharply, "Truthfully recruit them to let you live. If you don't recruit them, you will scrape your bones and cramps, making your life worse than death."

The monster laughed lowly, "How much have you hidden? Get out of this cage and go to the street to have a look. Peddlers, peasants, kabuki and music girls, even bureaucrats, princes and grandchildren, all belong to me." Brother. Who knows if the head master in your Beichen Palace has been dropped long ago?"

"You look down on us too much," Lang Yaguang shook his head. "People have parents, wives and children. They get along day and night, and face each other day in and day out. How difficult is it to replace someone without anyone noticing? Even if you look like the person you ate , but you can't imitate his usual words and deeds. You know how much you say is wrong, so you just keep silent behind closed doors, but you need to eat and drink water. You don't know how to use bowls, chopsticks and utensils. You drink water from a bucket and put food in a spittoon, your servants are very surprised, report it to the Yamen, and your identity will naturally be exposed."

Madayana said: "You don't understand the human world at all, how could so many monsters infiltrate in? The secret sect has already conducted a screening, found dozens of monsters, and locked them in the cage next to you. Would you like me to let you listen? Listen to their wailing? Compared with you, your clan is more aware of current affairs, and has already recruited many things."

"Don't lie to me." The monster said calmly, "Let's not talk about how many people you have captured, even if you did, you would never know anything from them. We are different from you, mortals. You have long forgotten the cruelty of the wind and snow. So you kill each other, the party fights the dissidents, you expel your compatriots, and let them freeze to death in the wind and snow uselessly. But we are different. Our whole family aims at the same goal Struggle, sacrifice your own life. You are such a selfish and despicable race, you don’t deserve to enjoy the kindness of Snow Flower.”

"Did you come from the snowstorm?" Kunwu pressed, "Where did you come from in the snow?"

The monster showed a look of longing, "My hometown is far away. There was a mortal who knocked on our gate of heaven, but unfortunately he has died. Do you want to grasp the location of our hometown and attack the rear? It is useless, your army Unable to travel long distances in snow."

"A mortal?" Kun Wu frowned, "Is it a refugee? Only a refugee will go deep into the snow for survival."

"No need to say any more," Lang Yaguang clapped his hands, "Let me use 'Huaxu'."

Kun Wu nodded, "Alright."

The monster seemed to have seen something, and his expression suddenly became sad, "The world is beautiful, but I still miss the dome of my hometown. The snowflakes fell on it, and there are so many poses, how beautiful. If after I die, my soul can pass through Boundless and heavy snow, return to my hometown?"

Kun Wu frowned, "What is he talking about?"

Lang Yaguang's reaction was far faster than his, and his face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Stand back! Stay away from him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the monster closed his eyes, and his ever-changing face finally stopped, freezing in a sad and lonely smile.His body suddenly glowed, and cobweb-like fluorescent meridians grew on his body.Afterwards, his body was torn apart, and with him as the center, a violent explosion occurred in the cage.

The water curtain was filled with white light, and the picture faded.No wonder the three star officials did not go to court today, they must have been seriously injured in the explosion.The waiter brought another tray with several broken pieces of iron inside.Jiang Xueya looked at the iron sheet, and a faint voice suddenly sounded from the other end of the curtain.

"Does it look familiar?"

Jiang Xueya raised her head, and Tantaijing was sitting behind the curtain of the bamboo mat. The light and shadow were hazy, and he could vaguely see his long-haired silhouette in profile.A chessboard was placed in front of him, as if he was playing against himself.

"It's my junior brother's Fuhuo Iron Armor," Jiang Xueya said. "When a monster is injured, its spiritual power bursts out, and its meridians glow. Before the explosion, the meridians emerged from the monster's body, indicating that he was bleeding profusely. He buried the Fuhuo Iron Armor in his body Here, the armor was activated, he was also injured, and shortly thereafter, the armor exploded."

"That's right." Tantaijing nodded and said, "Continue."

"There are only two places for Fuhuo Iron Armor. One is Heijie Bliss Square. The younger brother used to be the owner of Bliss Square. They must have left behind the skills of making Fuhuo Iron Armor. The other place is Secret Sect. You can get it from the Grand Master. The secret sect already has the blueprint for making the fire armor. Where did this monster's fire armor come from?" Jiang Xueya pondered, "Also, I am very concerned about this monster's demeanor before death, Officer Lang Xing When he said he was going to use the 'Hua Xu' secret technique to explore his dreams, he seemed to see something."

It was fine at first, but suddenly its expression became very sad, and it said a bunch of words like last words.

Tan Taijing said: "He committed suicide because someone wanted him."

Jiang Xueya instantly understood, "Someone in the interrogation room secretly sent a message to him, telling him to blow himself up."

This guess is very scary, but it also explains where the monster's fire armor came from.The secret sect has an inner ghost, a very smart inner ghost.The monster blew himself up, and everyone in the interrogation room was seriously injured.The inner ghost used bitter tricks to clear himself of the suspicion. After seriously injuring the secret sect star official, he also misled that there were monsters in the secret sect bliss workshop.Kill two birds with one stone, kill two birds with one stone.

"We used to think that monsters were poor imitators and easy to identify. That's not the case, there are monsters that hide deeper, in the secret sect, beside us."

Jiang Xueya stepped into the curtain, knelt and sat opposite the chessboard, with a dignified expression.

"Take care of Hui'er, if it is not necessary, don't let him leave the border." Tantai Jing said, "Monsters have been spying on his life for a long time, now is different from the past, so let him not do anything wrong."

Jiang Xueya was taken aback for a moment, "Sect Master, you..."

Tantaijing's indifferent gaze fell on Jiang Xueya, "Do you think that if it wasn't for Gu's acquiescence, you would be able to take the puppet blueprint out of the Immortal Cave safely?"

Jiang Xueya finally realized that it turned out that Tantaijing had been acting all the time, and there was an inner ghost in the secret sect, he didn't know who it was, so he had to be wary of everyone around him.The monster stared at Su Ruhui for some reason, Tantaijing wanted to save Su Ruhui's life, but he couldn't do it himself, otherwise the monster would not be allowed to do anything, and saving people would become harm.

He knew Jiang Xueya's actions, but he turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.He remained calm and waited for the opportunity. Now that the inner ghost finally acted and showed his feet, their chance has come.

Su Ruhui used to tell Jiang Xueya that his uncle was very scheming, and they were playing tricks in front of him.The depth of the pilgrimage realm is not only reflected in his secret technique, but also in his city.

Tan Taijing pointed out her deficiencies, "You are too young, even if you try your best, there will inevitably be omissions."

"Where is the omission?"

"Yu'er and Hui'er have a deep friendship. Although Hui'er turned against each other because Hui'er escaped into the black street, when Hui'er came back, Yu'er's only concern was her well-being. Others said that the two of them were old enemies, but Gu knew that they were close friends. "

"..." Jiang Xueya scratched her head, "Is it just a close friend?"

Tan Taijing frowned slightly, "Otherwise?"

"It's nothing, please continue to explain the doubts for the minister."

"So number one, when Yu'er broke into the Immortal Cave that day, you shouldn't have taken him away."

Jiang Xueya sighed: "Indeed, with Sang Chiyu's death-seeking temperament, how could he obediently leave with me? Unless he knows that Ah Hui will be safe and sound."

"Secondly, if Hui'er is killed by my hand, you should hate me like Yu'er."

Jiang Xueya smiled, "Can't I be dazzled by love and abandon my blood and deep hatred?"

Tantaijing glanced at her indifferently, "If you talk too much, Gu will punish you."

Jiang Xueya clasped her hands and asked, "Is the chief minister going to investigate the inner ghost?"

"Find him before the court meeting." Tan Taijing took a sip of tea, "Otherwise you will be punished for multiple crimes of arrogance and dereliction of duty, and you will be expelled from the secret sect."

"I take orders." Jiang Xueya said, "I started to investigate from Yunzhou. A Hui said that the Jiang family was occupied by monsters. The monsters of the secret sect are probably related to those monsters. By the way, save the useless ones." father and brother."

She couldn't help laughing, there were so many useful people around him, so he just found her.There is no other reason, just because everyone can be the ghost, only she can't be.When monsters enter the secret sect, they must be cautious and careful at every step, and they must not be as presumptuous as she is.What's more, like Sang Chiyu Su Ruhui, she is a child who grew up in front of him, and he can feel the colorful intestines in her stomach even with his eyes closed.

She is his most believable person.

Jiang Xueya is the one who pushes forward with every inch and is arrogant because of pampering.This guy entered the curtain, but he didn't see outside, sat opposite the chessboard, took the tea in Tan Taijing's hand and drank it down in one gulp.The tea moistened her fluttering lips, and she smiled playfully.

The familiar spiritual pressure pressed down, but it was not as unbearable as before.

Jiang Xueya looked into Tantaijing's cold and deep eyes, and said: "Where there is a punishment, there must be a reward. If I catch the inner ghost, how can I reward the minister?"

Tan Taijing closed her eyes and stopped looking at her moist red lips.He asked, "What do you want?"

Jiang Xueya leaned forward to reach out, and took off a unicorn sapphire from Tantai Jing's waist.

"With this as a letter, allow me to enter and exit Miyagi at any time." Jiang Xueya said with a smile, "Including the curfew at night."

When Kui Ye entered the palace, he didn't need to think about it to know that this guy's lust was not dead.

The majestic spiritual pressure suddenly increased, and Jiang Xueya collapsed on the table, as if a heavy burden was on her back, and she couldn't get up.She swept the ivory chess pieces all over the floor, and the pawns fell on the wooden floor like pearls, rolling around, black and white lingeringly intertwined.

"It hurts." Jiang Xueya yelled.

The pressure disappeared in an instant, Jiang Xueya was taken aback, raised his head, and saw Tantai's pure and jade-like face, he frowned, as if he was annoyed because he had unknowingly lifted the suppression.

"Jiang Xueya, what do you like to be alone?" Tantaijing asked.

Jiang Xueya straightened up, and slowly said: "What answer does the head master want? You are alone in a high place, too lonely and deserted, I want to come to accompany you? —— No, this is not what I want." Jiang Xueya's bright red lips With a slight hook, a bright smile floated on his lips, "I want the Grand Master to go down to the clouds, enter the mortal world, and come to accompany me."

Tantaijing stared at her for a moment, his expression was as cold and solemn as usual, without any emotion.

"The monster clan has been lurking in the world for a long time, and its operations are meticulously organized. There must be a monster living behind the scenes and controlling the overall situation." Tan Taijing said, "Gu often feels that someone is playing against Gu on the other side of the chessboard, but Gu has never caught his trace."

"Oh?"

"find him."

Tan Taijing stood up and went to the door.

Jiang Xueya shouted: "Sang Chiyu's life, will the Grand Master still stay?"

Tan Taijing's figure froze for a moment, "Hui'er is Yu'er's only friend, and only Hui'er in this world can restrain his demon nature. Since Hui'er is still alive, I can spare his life."

His figure disappeared outside the door, probably because he forgot, and finally the unicorn sapphire remained in Jiang Xueya's hands.

***

Su Ruhui was woken up by Sang Baobao.

This guy stepped on his face and jumped off the kang, Su Ruhui sat up with his head covered in white cat hair.Opening the window and looking, the blue sky was high and far-reaching, and the white sun was hanging high in the center of the sky. It was already mid-sun, and he was already half a day late.Forget it, it's not worth it this morning.Anyway, Uncle pointed to the blueprint he had given for the Chaoyi Meat Puppet. Even if he was running around naked in the secret sect, Ying Yangwei would have to make offerings to him like a Buddha.

Sang Baobao didn't know where he went, Su Ruhui yelled twice, but the smelly cat ignored him.Su Ruhui pulled on his shoes and walked to the kitchen, cooked a pot of hot boiled fish, picked the thorns, mixed it into a paste, put it in a bowl, poured another bowl of fish soup, and spread it on the table to cool .The food is ready, but Baby Sang is still gone.Su Ruhui took out a chopstick and knocked on the bowl vigorously, "Eat, eat!"

Looking up at the door again, I saw a snow-white shadow rushing towards the table in two or three steps, buried its head in the cat bowl, and licked the fish soup.

Su Ruhui: "..."

This idiot.
