Bright Moon and Cold Thousand Mountains

Wen Di bid farewell to Liu Shiqi, and asked Mo Ci who came to pass the message: "What happened?"

Mo Ci's face was serious: "The head let you go, I think it has something to do with the matter of the elder sister, just now I saw the elder sister go to his wing, and the two talked about the present. The head said, if you come back, I will find you as well." Go see him."

Wendi: "Song Min'er, how long ago will I come back?"

Mo Ci thought for a while, and said, "About a stick of incense, the senior sister came back in a panic, and asked her why she didn't say anything, and went directly to the head... Brother Wen, have you offended her again?"

After hearing these words, Wen Di was not so uneasy, he smiled coldly: "It's nothing, it's just a little friction."

The second monk Mo Cizhang couldn't figure it out, so he had to say "Oh" and lead Wendi to go outside Zuo Nian's room.

The wing room has a large space, and Song Min'er is sitting next to a square table with exquisite wood carvings, her hair is still a little disheveled, and the corners of her eyes are red with faint traces of tears.Hearing the sound of the door opening, she raised her head. The appearance of Lihua with rain was so painful, but when she saw clearly that it was Wendi, her expression immediately became unhappy again.

Zuo Nian turned his back to him, Wen Di stood behind him with his hands down, and called out in a low voice, "Master."

"What did you do?" Zuo Nian asked, and poured him a cup of tea himself, calmly as if saying hello, "Sit down, don't be so polite all the time—it hasn't changed for many years."

Wen Di said: "Hey." Then he sat down at one of the tables, but did not drink tea, and answered the previous question: "This afternoon, Huashan sent people to make trouble, and I want to inquire about the city with Mo Ci. I didn’t ask a few words when I went out, and I was attracted by the night market, and I walked around a lot, and I just remembered to come back..."

Zuo Nian sighed: "That's right, it's the first time I went down the mountain, and seeing the bustling Linzi city, I felt novelty everywhere - you!"

Wen Di smiled shyly, but didn't answer.Zuo Nian seemed to regard himself as Wendi's half-father, and couldn't stop the topic once it started, scolding him half-truthfully for being playful, and only then did he get to the point.

"Your senior sister came here because of the knife." Zuo Nian took a sip of his tea, suddenly feeling dull, and couldn't help frowning, "According to your words, did you throw it in Tongguan?"

Wendi: "When I first entered Luocheng that night, my senior sister said that I couldn't find it. Presumably it was lost on the road from Tongguan to Luocheng."

Zuo Nian turned to Song Min'er, and said earnestly: "You heard it too, the fact is that you can't hear the flute. He has done his duty this time, and you lost the knife yourself. At first, you didn't think that you would cause such a big trouble. You are not a teacher. Blame you two, as long as we have a clear conscience, even the Huashan faction can't do anything!"

Song Min'er sobbed, and tears welled up again: "But Master, Wendi... he actually made a move on me..."

There was a moment of silence, even though Wendi knew that Song Min'er never dared to make mistakes in front of his master, he never thought that this person could sue first, so he stared dumbfounded.

Zuo Nian asked puzzledly, "Do it? Wendi, what did you do to make Senior Sister cry like this?"

Wendi's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and she was not sure whether Song Min'er was making use of the topic.Although he was reasonable about this matter, Zuo Nian knew that he had resorted to folding flowers - he couldn't sit still and wait for death.

He stood up suddenly: "Senior sister, how can you confuse right and wrong! Isn't it just throwing a knife, I have already paid you my own. If you don't like it, return it to me. As for throwing it... I admit it is I was too nervous, so I gently pushed you to avoid being hurt by the knife——Senior Sister said it as if she was being treated lightly, and I have known you for many years...Why did I come here?"

His voice was ten times more aggrieved than Song Min'er's. After speaking, he was already full of sadness. Wendi sniffed hard, then looked to Zuo and read: "It's been so many years...Master, you know me best."

Zuo Nian is humble on the outside, but arrogant on the inside, thinking that he can control everything.He is still in a mood that he is kind and affectionate to everyone, and when he has not touched the bottom line, everything has nothing to do with him, but if he provokes Ni Lin, no matter how important he is, he can turn his face and deny anyone.

Over the years, Wendi has already got a good idea of ​​his temper.

After the last sentence fell gently, he had already seen Zuo Nian's eyebrows raised indistinctly, and the slight turbulence just now subsided, so the angry expression was still maintained on the face, but the eyes had turned cold.

Sure enough, Zuo Nian lightly wrote: "That's right, Adi is a safe person. Min'er, you may have been wronged today, but you shouldn't guess what happened to your younger brother...Okay, Master knows that you are frightened, so go back and rest earlier Bar."

Song Min'er suffered a lot from being dumb, and choked back all the words she had prepared. She didn't dare to ask Zuo Nian directly if she taught him how to fold flowers. Leading back from the trick of stepping on flowers, Wen Di unexpectedly put the word "frivolous"...

She almost gritted her silver teeth and rushed out the door to bring a gust of wind.

Zuo Nian said coldly: "I still have this temper, I can't stand it after just a few words!"

"Senior Sister is thinking about that knife." Wen Di laughed, and got up to leave, "Since nothing happened, I'll go to bed too. Master is tired from the journey today, so he should rest early."

Zuo Nian stopped him and said, "Adi, I still have a few words to say to you."

Wen Di waited at the side, and heard him say carefully: "Five days later, there will be a clear talk meeting. About the Huashan faction, you and Lingxi avoid other people to investigate secretly, and you must give me an explanation before Shang Zihuai and others intervene. But Adi, remember, what we want is not necessarily the truth."

Speaking of the murderous intent in his voice later, Wen Di lowered his eyes and said: "Understood, it's just an explanation."

Zuo Nian looked at him in relief, twirled his beard but smiled silently.

Wen Di hesitated and said: "Master, I just remembered something... This morning I received a letter from the elder brother, and Du Xin Dan failed again. During these days, please don't use your mind."

"Trash!" Zuo Nian snorted coldly, "Yu Zheng has become more and more useless these years. You write a letter back to him for me, saying that before this winter, you can't make Duxin Pill again, and I don't need this big brother." wanted."

Wendi nodded, waited for a while without any other orders, turned around and went out silently, closing the door for Zuo Nian.

He didn't take the stairs, and jumped directly from the second floor, landing silently.Wendi walked quickly to the courtyard, broke out in a cold sweat for no reason, and sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.

There was only a slight smile on his lips at first, but it became more and more obvious in the end. Wendi bowed his body, put his elbows on his knees to cover his face to cover his expression, and his shoulders trembled.

Yu Zheng's letter was too timely - Du Xindan can only get [-]% every five years, he was very careful, but he still failed.No matter how hard it is to make it before this winter, don't try to break through the tenth level of the Heaven and Earth Cultivation Technique unless Zuo Nian once during this period, otherwise it is a gamble with your life!

But with Zuo Nian's arrogance, how can he endure that he has been stagnant in the same place as his predecessors?

"After reaching the tenth level of the kung fu, one can co-exist with the heaven and the earth. This realm is 'the heaven and the earth live together'." Since the establishment of the twelfth floor for more than a hundred years, no one has broken through the tenth floor except for a peerless master. Pursue the legendary unity of man and nature.

Zuo Nian has been stagnant here for seven years. Without Du Xin Dan, can he still go against the sky?

Heaven and earth live together... Wen Di suppressed his smile and shook his head.

"This is ridiculous." He thought, "The top masters in the world today can't even see through this level!"

He stood up and walked slowly back to his room.After Wen Di closed the door, he reached for the candle, but suddenly a bean-sized candle light lit up inside the room, reflecting half of the dim yellow.

Wen Di narrowed his eyes to see the person sitting in the middle, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Why are you here?"

The sitting person was dressed in night clothes, and in the middle of the night, he covered his original appearance with a veil, and his voice was still smiling: "Wen Shaoxia, don't feel like you are facing a big enemy, isn't everything going well? Everything is as you wished." .”

Wen Di stood still and said, "We have an agreement, if you want to see me before it happens, you must first send a letter."

The man laughed lightly: "I thought Young Xia Daowen had already forgotten."

Seeming to have regained consciousness, Wendi picked up a cup next to him, with his little finger on the bottom of the cup, he had already quietly touched out a nail of impermanence, and said calmly: "My respected master promised me good things, so naturally I won't Forgot. But "Heaven and Earth Same Life" is not so easy to get, otherwise, with the ability of respecting the teacher, why don't you get it yourself?"

"Wen Shaoxia has a brilliant tongue." The man said without arrogance or discouragement, "Just now I was a gentleman on Liangshang, and I heard Zuo Nian calling you to check Song Min'er's knife. Dare I ask Wen Shaoxia, how do you check it?"

Wendi said: "I didn't kill anyone, and I didn't steal the knife. Why don't I dare to investigate? Xuanhuang, I don't need to worry about this matter, and I don't need you to say more. Five days are enough to do a lot of things." , such as... find a substitute for the dead ghost."

The person named Xuanhuang tapped lightly on the table a few times with his fingers: "You are naturally impeccable in doing things."

Wendi: "However, I have a question. The Twelfth Floor and the Huashan School have no grievances in the past and the present. Why was their elder killed by such a coincidence when we first arrived in Linzi?"

"Suspect me for disturbing the muddy water?" Xuanhuang was startled for a moment, then calmed down again, "Young Xia Wen, this matter is really unjust, the Huashan faction's mud can't support the wall, so there's no need for us to bother about it."

Hearing the flute without saying a word, he did not relax his vigilance.

Xuanhuang: "Forget it, believe it or not, Huashan faction has nothing to do with us. Not only that, but I'm here today to give you a suggestion."

Wendi almost laughed: "You want to help me? Has the sun come out from the west?"

Xuan Huang said: "The Huashan faction's matter was aimed at the twelfth floor, and Xi Lanyu might be behind the scenes. The elder they died had always been at odds with Zhao Yang, and Zhao Yang relied on Xi Lanyu to back him up. If you are a student of Beichuan, you won’t say anything—Ding is a big deal, you just have to play a little bit.”

Wen Di: "Oh? I would like to hear the details."

Xuanhuang said in a deep voice: "Before the meeting, you threw out the scapegoat and urged Zuo Nian to come to the Huashan faction to apologize. I have my own means to make Zhao Yang jump out at that time. If Xi Lanyu is really ignorant, I will stir up trouble again. At that time, you will try to be stabbed by him with a sword, which will intensify the conflict between Twelfth Floor and Beichuan School. Zuo Nian loves you and will naturally come out. After that, you go to Zuo Nian in the name of healing your wounds and ask for "Heaven and Earth Same Life"—— If you get the cheats, it's a win-win situation for both of you, so don't play tricks."

Hearing this ineffective threat, Wen Di thought for a while, but he did not refuse his suggestion: "You let me suffer a sword, this sacrifice is too much, I hope the respected master will be more sympathetic to me after the matter is completed, it is best to give me another Borrow that book."

Xuanhuang said angrily: "Wearing the flute, people's hearts are not enough to swallow an elephant!"

Wendi had a good time: "At present, at least you are asking for me. And even if I don't cooperate with you, I still have ways to achieve my goals. It's just that I can afford to wait, can Master wait? He must be going crazy Bar?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed a silver needle sideways, and the impermanence nail fastened to the bottom of the cup immediately went towards Xuanhuang, and after the sound of breaking through the air, Wendi heard a muffled groan.

He should have succeeded, but he didn't dare to be careless, and put one hand on the knife: "Thank you for reminding me about Zhao Yang, it's late at night, it's absurd for you and me to be in the same room, so I won't send it away."

Without saying a word, Xuanhuang got up and went through the window.

Wendi breathed a sigh of relief and lit a lamp again.He held up the lamp and walked to the place where Xuanhuang had been sitting just now, the cup of tea was untouched, he picked it up and sniffed it, raised his eyebrows, picked up the teapot, walked to the window, and threw it all out.

Hearing the sound of broken porcelain, Wendi was inexplicably sad.He stared at his veins for a long time, until he felt that the night wind was cold, and then sat back on the couch again.

An illusory promise in exchange for half a volume of exquisite cheats in Sheng Tianya's hands... Now that his cultivation is getting better and better, how can he last long if he seeks skin from a tiger?

Wen Di slowly closed his eyes and let out a breath, forcing himself to get away from these tired things, and turned to thinking about Liu Shiqi.

He seems to have only one secret that he knows, whenever he thinks about it, Wen Di will calm down the gloom in his heart a little bit, and it can make him calm down.

Incognito, even the original surname was abandoned.Little by little, he grabbed the power and the trust of others, and pretended to be the most perfect and decent appearance, and it was indeed for the blood feud with Liu Shiqi—even though Liu Shiqi was kept in the dark from the beginning to the end, he still thought that What happened was an accident.

"Just don't let him know." Wendi thought to himself, "I have done all these things, so as not to dirty his hands."

Outside the west window, a star pierced the night sky, Wendi looked up, and remembered that it was such a night when he was very young.

There was a full moon, and there was a shooting star. The tall man came out of the Buddhist temple late at night, saw the abandoned baby at the mountain gate, and took him home in a moment of resignation.

"God saw that we have no children, so did you send one here?" He was hugged by a woman, heard her voice, and said softly, "The willows twist and turn on a spring night, why don't you call me Wendi?" .”

Five days later, the clear talk will come as scheduled.

During the period of listening to the flute, he did not see Liu Shiqi again. He left early and returned late every day, pretending to be very busy to investigate the whole story of the extermination case.With Xuanhuang's guidance, he really had some clues.

The internal struggle of Huashan School has never stopped. Before Zhao Yang came to power, the most powerful competitor was the deceased Xu Changtian. Because Xu Changtian had many supporters behind him, Zhao Yang had to give him an elder position in the school.But this elder is like a thorn in Zhao Yang's heart, he always needs sex to feel at ease.

Behind Zhao Yang is the Beichuan school, and it is impossible to do such a big thing as destroying the school without their approval.So blaming the twelfth floor... I'm afraid it was ordered by Shang Zihuai and others.

Wendi spent money to find a death row prisoner who was about the same size as the tall Song Min'er from the government prison, put on the clothes of a student from the twelfth floor, killed him with one knife, and dragged him to Zuo Nian.

The next day, Zuo Nian took the corpse to the Huashan sect's residence, falsely claiming that this person was a sloppy little disciple under his nose, who usually disliked the arrogance of the senior sister, and stole her knife to make a big deal .Just heard that Zhao Yang and Zuo Nian were old acquaintances, so they planned this matter, trying to provoke the relationship between the two factions, but now it has been dealt with by the sect rules.

At this point, the Huashan faction completely shut up.

The insiders among them dared not tell the truth. Zhao Yang, who came late, knew the cause and effect at the first sight. He couldn't guess whether Zuo Nian had found out the real culprit, so he had to call him in an official tone with a smile on his face.

"You did a great job on this matter." On the way to the symposium, Zuo Nian suddenly boasted.

Wen Di was flattered and said: "Don't dare, it's because the master has taught you well. They have the intention to clean up the house, but if they want to use the knife on the twelfth floor to kill people, their idea is too beautiful."

Zuo Nian said: "Don't underestimate the enemy, haven't you found out who is behind the Huashan faction?"

Song Min'er, who had heard about the cause and effect, said indifferently: "The Beichuan school really wants to make things difficult for us. Master, what kind of medicine does Shang Zihuai sell in the gourd?"

Zuo Nian smiled: "I'm afraid it's not Shang Zihuai, but Xi Lanyu."

Along with him, Xi Lanyu, one of the few masters in the world, is a master of all kinds of Kungfu in Beichuan school. It is said that he once declined the position of master and persuaded his master to pass it on to his junior brother Shang Zihuai.But there are also rumors that Shang Zihuai is just a puppet, and the actual ruler of Beichuan School is still him.

Wendi said: "If Xi Lanyu wants to take this opportunity to make the twelfth floor collapse...Master, I think this time is probably a Hongmen banquet, you should be more careful."

Zuo Nian strolled around the courtyard, just smiling without saying a word, making it hard to figure out what he was thinking.

A group of people on the [-]th floor walked to the school where the Beichuan Academy was located, and were first overwhelmed by the resplendent grandeur.They practiced far away in Ningzhou, the north is cold and far away from the Central Plains, and they boasted that Xixiu Mountain is already a rare green hill. Unexpectedly, in Linzi, a school was built directly according to the specifications of Taixue. One can imagine how much the imperial court relied on it. .

The low-level disciples in black long gowns stood outside the gate of the academy, welcoming and sending them off with wide smiles.

"The respected guest must be the head of the twelfth floor, Senior Zuo Nian, who has long admired his name! This way please!"

"It turns out to be the head of the Huashan School, Zhao, take your seat!"

"Miss Chu from Miaoyin Pavilion has also arrived, she is really radiant, please drink tea inside!"

……

Wen Di sat in his sect's seat, looked around silently, and saw Xuan Huang from behind a table in a certain corner.He frowned, and subconsciously followed Xuanhuang to find the man behind him—but he wasn't there.

Turning his gaze again, Wen Di hurriedly walked past, and suddenly saw Liu Shiqi standing on the corridor next to the twelfth floor.Beside him was a tall man in black and wearing a bamboo hat. Wendi frowned, as if he had seen this outfit before, and was thinking hard when the man suddenly took off his bamboo hat.

Peach blossom eyes, a small drop-shaped mole under the corner of the mouth, surprisingly handsome.This appearance attracted several female disciples on the twelfth floor to look sideways, even Song Min'er couldn't help but glance at it a few times.

Wen Di thought that this was the brother Liu Shiqi said he was practicing with, but he didn't take it to heart.But when he went to look at Xuanhuang's position again, the man was staring at this area, his face was pale, as if he was facing an enemy.

Wen Di: "..."

Could it be that he saw his old enemy?Wendi turned his head again, and the man in black was putting one hand on Liu Shiqi's shoulder, buried his head in talking to him, and the two of them laughed together after a while.

It was a very pleasing picture, but Wen Di felt his heart choked up for no reason.He withdrew his gaze, counted the tassels on the tassels on the handle of his knife bitterly, and explained to himself: "Seventeen has only been close to me since I was a child, but now that I am older, of course I have friends, nothing unusual..."

But he just wasn't happy.

When Liusu counted to 26, Wendi couldn't help but secretly looked there, but this time he was caught straight - Liu Shiqi saw him, and couldn't say hello, so he had to smile and bend his eyes at him.And the man next to him lifted up half of his bamboo hat, exposing his strong jaw, with the corners of his lips turned up, and said something that made Liu Shiqi lean back and forth.

Because of Liu Shiqi's smile, he heard the flute a lot more happily, but for no reason he became depressed again, and simply turned his head away to see nothing.

"Why is your senior brother so funny?" Xie Xingzhou smiled, "I just wanted to talk to you a few more words, he turned around and looked at it three times in a long time."

Liu Shiqi didn't know anything about Wen Di's complicated mood: "He used to be like this, always caring about me. I haven't seen anyone these days, so I must be in a hurry. I'll look for him when it's over, don't stop me I."

Xie Xingzhou: "Don't stop, don't stop, I also have old acquaintances to meet."

He spoke meaningfully, Liu Shiqi raised his head in doubt, Xie Xingzhou winked at a certain place, and then approached Liu Shiqi's ear very innocently: "The person we are looking for is here, I saw Master's Disciple...he must be going to do something, his face changed when he found me just now, this person is scheming and good at disguise, I will keep an eye on him later."

Hearing the seriousness of the situation, Liu Shiqi lowered his eyelids and restrained himself. There was still a smile in the corner of his eyes, but his rationality was already clear: "Understood. You look for him, and I will respond."

Xie Xingzhou touched his braid casually, and was about to say a few more words, when he suddenly felt a gaze piercing his back.He thought in surprise: "Even if I have a beautiful face, no one will look at me so affectionately, right?" Turning his back, he happened to meet Wendi with a group of white-clothed disciples.

In a blink of an eye, Xie Xingzhou understood the possessiveness in his eyes.Secretly thinking that it was interesting, he smiled politely at Wen Dike, and pinched Liu Shiqi's face even more severely.

Wen Di was so angry that his teeth itched, thinking: "Is this person going to end!?"

At this moment, Zuo Nian suddenly came back.Wen Di didn't dare to act rashly, and when he answered a few innocuous questions and turned around, the two of them were no longer in the same place.

At this time, a bell rang, Zuo Nian looked at Wendi and said, "Take care of your juniors and sisters, I'm going."

Wen Di nodded and said nothing, watching him go up the stairs.
