Bright Moon and Cold Thousand Mountains

Wen Di didn't pay attention to Song Min'er, he looked at Liu Shiqi: "When did you talk to her?"

Getting up from the ground, Liu Shiqi said in a low voice: "Zuo Nian once went to find me alone, and told me about Senior Sister Ding You being killed for no reason... Senior Sister Song heard it outside."

The usual Song Min'er would never let Wendi feel complacent, but now she endured the other's ignorance, took two steps forward, and said to herself:

"Last night I secretly took a look at the roster of disciples on the twelfth floor. Facing my memory, I picked out those names one by one from the master's successor to the head—there are not too many students on the twelfth floor. Among them are senior sister Ding You. Three people were killed because of their fault, and the rest, including Liu Miansheng, are missing two every three years."

Wen Di hadn't heard Song Min'er say a few human words since he knew her, and before he had time to be surprised, he was a step ahead because of the content of her words.

Song Min'er said: "I looked through the secret history of the previous heads on the twelfth floor. There were very few people who went crazy in the early days, but later there were more people like this... Coincidentally, it happened after the first head developed the Duxin Pill."

She cut off the conversation on her own, showing a wry smile, and said suddenly under Wendi's gaze: "I don't know what to say...Father passed away early, and only the master and two uncles are left to make decisions in the door. I know, why...you chose to hide it? Those, those are—”

One by one, bloody human lives.

Even though Song Min'er is arrogant and indulgent on weekdays, she still prides herself on being an upright disciple.No matter how furious she is with people she has nothing to do with, she still can't easily kill, let alone the disciples with whom she gets along day and night.

She vaguely knew that these disappearances were not accidental, and immediately collapsed.

Seeing two groups of black and blue from the bottom of Song Min'er's eyes, Wen Di remained silent, as if waiting for her next words.And Song Min'er let out a long sigh, and the domineering engraved in her bones disappeared with this breath. She reached out and twisted the three locks of the cage, looked up at Liu Shiqi, and said firmly, "I'll let you go."

Wen Di: "..."

How come one or two guessed about it and just wanted to let them go, as if he was innocent after hearing the flute?

"You take this." Song Min'er frantically pulled a jade pendant from her waist and stuffed it into Wendi's hand, "Go to the Green Mountain Pavilion when you return to the Central Plains, and find me...my half-sister, her name is Li Ruyi. Master made it We have no evidence for these things. The two uncles are used to pretending to be deaf and dumb. They will definitely not stand up. They can only rely on themselves. I... don’t know what to do, but I must not join forces with them. Yes, killing innocent people indiscriminately, I..."

As she spoke, she choked up for a moment, her hand was cut by the barb that grew out of the lock, and blood flowed instantly.Stimulated by the bright red blood, Song Min'er blinked, and suddenly a few big tears rolled down her eyes.

She raised her head blankly: "Wendi, what do you think I should do!"

There is nothing more lethal than a girl's tears. When Song Min'er cried, Wen Di became flustered first. Holding the jade pendant, he asked an unrelated matter: "How is Master now?"

Song Min'er was stunned, her eyes were red and she frowned, she regained her sense of reason because of his words, and recalled seriously: "After I came back yesterday, I locked myself in the room of Yueming Tower and never came out again. However, he said that he was going to retreat and asked no one to disturb him, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten the roster so smoothly."

"Retreat?" Wen Di suddenly showed a wicked smile, "He didn't give up."

Liu Shiqi, who was dumb for a while, asked, "What?"

Wen Di: "Yu Zheng told me that he didn't have enough time before, but the Du Xin Pill made according to the recipe is similar in effect to the bottle you took away, but it's not very pleasant to eat after double use. He locked himself in the room, I'm afraid he wanted to take a risk."

Song Min'er stammered for a moment: "Try, try what? Is it a defective product?"

Wen Di: "Brother Yu is a master who uses poison. We are all inferior to him in this way. He said that it is about the same, so it must be true--Senior Sister, please take a sneak peek."

After hearing the action of unlocking, only the last lock was hanging precariously on it. Song Min'er simply pulled out a small knife from her waist, and cut the rope that bound Wendi through the iron bar.Feeling that what Wen Di said was reasonable, and now it was a foregone conclusion, Song Min'er didn't mind taking another risk, so she nodded slightly, turned around and ran away.

Watching her leave, he heard the flute and said, "I can't see that the senior sister is still full of passion and has never shielded the wicked."

Liu Shiqi suddenly looked at Wen Di with complicated eyes: "Brother Di, did you know this early on?"

"Of course not." Wen Di lowered his voice, "I found out by accident that he improved his cultivation at the cost of his life, but his martial arts are not as good as his, so I can only pretend that he doesn't understand. He took a liking to it, and sent his life in vain, so he urged you to escape... So didn't I tell you then?"

The unspoken meaning was nothing more than a sentence, "I am doing it for your own good."

His ending sound fell into Liu Shiqi's ears erratically, it sounded nothing unusual, even gentle and soft, but Liu Shiqi felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help turning his head away.

The surroundings became quiet again, but Liu Shiqi recalled Xie Xingzhou's rare seriousness at that time in the tranquility, and said to him, "Stay step by step, and never give up until you reach your goal. Shiqi, you have to be vigilant against him."

At that time he said, "Brother Dee won't harm me."

But right now, after hearing Wendi's tone, he doubted his intuition. It seemed that there was something Wendi didn't tell him, and he lacked confidence to say this.

The cage was dark, except for a moment of sunshine from a skylight, which disappeared with the sun in the middle of the day, and returned to the misty gloom, but the sounds outside gradually became louder.

Wen Di stood up quickly, and took off Liu Shiqi's rope in three steps: "What's the matter?"

"Do you want to go out?" Liu Shiqi said, pointing to the door that was still locked.

Song Min'er half-opened the lock for them before leaving, and now it only takes a cup of tea to open it, not to mention that with the cultivation of Wendi, maybe even a brute force can break through this cage without using cleverness .

And Wendi thought so, he looked around and said decisively: "Go!"

The doorman received Wen Di's powerful kick, groaned "Zhi Ya", then tilted his neck and fell to the side.Wen Di grabbed Liu Shiqi, told him to be careful, rubbed his wrist that was red by the rope in his busy schedule, and then rushed out from the narrow corridor——

The guard was brought down by Yu Zheng, and he had no intention of waking up yet, so Wen Di took off the lancet and a dagger from his waist, weighed it and gave the knife to Liu Shiqi, but pinned the dagger on his waist .

When he got the lancet again, his mood was complicated for a moment. He suddenly missed his broken knife, Changhe, and he didn't know where he went, and whether he was brought back by Zuo Nian.

But right now, he is not allowed to think too much, Wendi led him around a few small roads with ease.There have been too many changes in recent years. The exquisite twelve-storey pavilion is still there, but the surroundings have been turned upside down. Liu Shiqi felt that everything was too strange when he was in it, so he had to follow Wen Di's footsteps.

They quickly stopped at the end of the corridor of a pavilion, where the view was very good, and they could clearly see the Martial Arts Field in the distance and the Yueming Building at the opposite corner.

Wendi put his index finger on his lips, gestured to him to silence him, and stretched out his head to look around.

The Yueming Building was on fire, and disciples in white clothes were running around everywhere in the martial arts arena, and a person screamed and passed by Wendi without finding him.Liu Shiqi followed him suspiciously, and suddenly grabbed Wendi's forearm, and said in surprise, "Brother Di, there is blood on his body!"

The clothes of the disciples on the twelfth floor are snow-white, and they are usually spotless, but the sudden appearance of blood is very eye-catching.

Wen Di frowned, and whispered, "Let's go a little further there."

Behind the Yueming Building is the Book Collection Pavilion, Wendi thought to himself that Song Min'er saw something wrong, but even if Zuo Nian took the fake heart pill, it wouldn't happen so quickly, unless Yu Zheng was playing tricks on it again...

He was immersed in his own thoughts, until the sound of "ding" in his ear quickly woke him up.Wen Di looked at Liu Shiqi. The man had just blocked a knife flying from nowhere for him, and he let out a sigh of relief after waving it away, and said, "This place is full of mess and smog... Is the twelfth floor the exit?" What's the matter?"

"I'm afraid the senior sister released the little ghost." Wendi said without a clue, and after speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, and lightly jumped onto the beam of the flat-roofed house next to him, and said to Liu Shiqi, "Have you ever fallen behind in your lightness kung fu? Follow up! "

"it is good!"

Liu Shiqi squeaked lightly, and immediately jumped up, borrowing strength from the eaves, and followed Wendi firmly.His qinggong is not the same as before, Wangyue Island's "Luo Wuhen" is not inferior to Ting Fengbu, he sticks to Wendi, and the two of them walked through the noisy buildings in perfect harmony one after the other, and stopped at Liyue The top of the nearest pavilion in Minglou.

The fire was spreading massively, and there were disciples fetching water to put out the fire everywhere, and there were some people who were flustered, holding knives and dared not approach, as if there were some monsters in the burning Yueming Building.

Wendi's eyesight is excellent, and at this moment, relying on the familiar terrain, he could identify the location of the fire within a moment: "It's the fire on the roof of the head retreat's building, I think there must be something wrong with Zuo Nian!"

"Are we going there?" Liu Shiqi asked worriedly, "Why are they so afraid—"

Before he finished speaking, a familiar figure appeared under the pavilion.Yu Zheng held the lancet in one hand, and when he saw the two people, he remained silent, and made a "go" gesture to Wendi.

Wendi didn't accept the favor, he jumped down lightly.

"What are you doing back here? Run away from the front mountain when you come out!" Yu Zheng's eyes were red with anxiety, and he didn't even want to investigate how they came out.

Wendi said: "What happened, the whole thing is in such a mess?"

Yu Zheng: "I don't know, Song Min'er just went to Yueming Building in the name of delivering something to Master, but she came out covered in blood. There was another disciple who was going to close the door... and suddenly he was choked. Master may have lost his temper." !"

Wen Di raised his eyebrows: "Is this true?"

Yu Zheng didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he hurriedly said: "It's still fake! I said earlier that that thing can't replace Duxindan, but the master didn't listen... You see, something went wrong after trying it? I don't know when it will be available. Stop, everyone dare not approach now, but he knocked down the lamp again!"

He glanced at the black smoke over there, and quickly made a decision: "Then Shiqi and I took advantage of the chaos and escaped, are you okay?"

"Let's go, it's just right now, and I won't blame anyone when Master comes back to his senses. This is what he caused, and at most he will punish me—" Yu Zheng stabbed Wendi's back lightly with the handle of his knife, "You Take him away, quick!"

Wen Di has always been wearing a mask, pretending to be a perfect good old man, wandering around the twelfth floor endlessly.At this time, he showed a little truth rarely, and saluted Yu Zheng: "Thank you."

Yu Zheng still had the same cold face for thousands of years, but this time it seemed that the ice in his eyes had melted.

There was another knife on his waist, and he took it out and threw it at Wendi: "A Ci said it belonged to Liu Miansheng."

Without saying anything, he turned around and silently blocked the sight of others looking at him.Wen Di clenched the knife tightly, and said to Liu Shiqi on the pavilion, "Shiqi, hurry up, we're leaving now!"

The people on the pavilion didn't move, Wen Di was stunned to urge a few more times, Liu Shiqi suddenly rushed down with a solemn expression: "Brother Di, I'm afraid we can't leave."

Wen Di: "What..."

He instinctively turned around and saw a man lying on the railing on the moonlight building billowing in black smoke, his eyes fixed on them.

The next moment, the figure flipped over the railing, borrowed strength from the eaves, and immediately landed silently—it was Zuo Nian covered in blood!He is like a dead soul who is dying for his life. His white clothes, which are usually not stained with dust, are now dirty with colorful colors. The red is blood, and the black is soot, and he is coming straight towards Wen Di!

He seemed to be blinded by hatred, and no one present had ever experienced the legendary "besottedness".But Wen Di, who knew the inside story, only knew that it was difficult to practice the flower-folding hand. Once he saw the head's appearance of losing his composure, he was no different from other people, and they all messed up first.

Yu Zheng bit the tip of his tongue, tasted a bit of rusty smell, and resolutely turned his head to Wendi and said: "What are you doing in a daze! I'll block you for a while, hurry up!"

Wen Di, who had been absent-minded for a while, returned to his senses at the sound. He grabbed the knife from a disciple next to him and pushed Liu Shiqi.Seeing that Zuo Nian blocked the way to the front mountain, he took a deep breath: "Seventeen, run to Yanxue Peak!"

The blood was close at hand, and several disciples were blocked in front of Zuo Nian by the ducks on the shelf. Before they even moved the knife, they fought twice, and before they even had time to say a word, they were slapped several times and fell to the side one after another.And the rest didn't dare to go up again, they just formed a circle and looked at Yu Zheng helplessly.

Now the elder brother on the twelfth floor frowned deeply, as if he had made a great determination, he suddenly said loudly:

"Article 15 of this school's decree prohibits killing each other. No. [-]. If anyone deceives the superior and conceals it and causes a catastrophe, he will not be lightly forgiven. Now Zuo Nian has practiced without telling everyone until he has lost his mind and lost his mind. No, harming the disciples of the same sect, before he wakes up, Yu Zheng oversteps and takes care of all internal affairs of the sect temporarily! Song Min'er, you go and inform the two uncles, if they react differently, you don't need to say hello to me, just keep them in your residence !"

Song Min'er was originally standing at the back in disbelief, but when she was called on suddenly, she was shocked, and then she thought of something, and the conceit that no one took seriously in the past swept away from her brows, and she said sternly: "Observe, let's go!"

Yu Zheng said: "What are you doing in a daze, is the saber technique taught to you all for nothing? Hurry up and stop me!"

On the twelfth floor, Zuo Nian actually seldom lectured in public, most of the time the person who made a bad face was Yu Zheng.That's why he sternly reprimanded, and the disciples who were in front of him tremblingly, after guessing the reason, slowly but firmly raised their sabers at the head sect.

The beacon smoke changed color, and the white snow on the top of the mountain seemed to be scorched by the high temperature.

The hustle and bustle behind him hadn't dissipated yet, Liu Shiqi ran forward while panting, "They won't be able to stop them for long, even if it's Yu Zheng, he can't stop Zuo Nian..."

"I know." Wendi supported his back without a trace, "It can last for a while. The flower-folding hand rebels against yin and yang, and when the demon devours the soul, he will lose all reason, and only instinctively chase after things that make him crazy Now Zuo Nian is all about Duxin Dan, maybe in his eyes, you are the thing that can save his life."

Liu Shiqi's feet were weak and he almost fell. He hurriedly propped himself up on the dry tree trunk, stabilized his mind and continued to run along the unfamiliar mountain road.

Wendi was calmer than him, Liu Shiqi just opened the three Shaoyang meridians on his own, and it is normal for his hands and feet to be a little sore right now.Hearing the voice in the back fading away, Wen Di suddenly asked: "Have you ever gone mad?"

"Ah? So I don't know anyone... I don't have one." After Liu Shiqi finished answering, he felt a "thump" in his heart, and raised his voice as if remembering something, "Brother Di, he taught you how to fold flowers. You practiced it for seven years... …Do you know how--"

The crows resting in winter in the forest were awakened by his sudden increase in volume, fluttered their wings, and crashed into the green tree crown in a hurry, screaming loudly in a dazed manner.

Liu Shiqi stopped in disbelief and looked straight at him.Wendi's face was calm, and she gave him a soothing and gentle smile: "I'm not that stupid."

He didn't believe it, and the matter of life and death was put aside for the time being. Liu Shiqi pulled Wendi's arm, and his tone was a little aggressive: "You tell me the truth, if you... will be like him in the future, everyone will Don't you know?"

"There has been no Crossing Heart Pill for seven years. Zuo Nian encountered instability in his internal energy and only relied on internal force to suppress it. It was like raising Gu with his own flesh and blood. He was already hanging on the line of life and death. Last night he insisted on forcibly breaking through the tenth Heaven and Earth Kungfu. Layers, so that the meridians are retrograde, and the sea of ​​​​qi is in disorder." Wen Di lowered his eyes and said, "I am different from him, I have a sense of proportion."

What Liu Shiqi wanted to say, Wendi immediately interrupted him: "Even if my six relatives don't recognize me in the future, I will find a place to die far away, and I will never confront you with swords and swords. Are you satisfied?"

Liu Shiqi: "I... I didn't mean that, I was worried about you..."

Wen Di's eyes sharpened suddenly, Liu Shiqi interrupted himself, and asked in confusion, "Brother Di, what's wrong?"

The other party didn't answer for a long time, Liu Shiqi noticed that things had changed, turned his head stiffly, and saw Zuo Nian who had approached them at some time away a few feet away.His ten fingers were stained red with blood, his facial features were so distorted that he was almost unrecognizable, Yintang was slightly darkened, and his eyes were like vultures staring at a piece of meat.

At the moment Liu Shiqi was in a daze, Wendi pulled him past and ran forward recklessly: "Go! We are not his opponent!"

And the next moment, Zuo Nian behind him let out a clear whistle, and heard the wind steps extremely agile, coming like stepping on clouds.

The twelfth floor leans against the main peak of Xixiu Mountain, which is called Yanxue Peak. Because most of the mountains and forests are covered with pure white after the first snow every year in Lidong, it is also named Yanxue Peak.Since the implementation of Zuo Nian's head order back then, no one has gone up to the mountain after August. Weeds are overgrown, pine forests are standing, the stream in the mountain is cold, and the cliffs are really not a place to hide.

"Let's see where you guys can go this time!" Not far behind, Zuo Nian's voice was hoarse.

It was clearly noon, and the trees in Yanxue Peak covered the sky and the sun, and it was always as hazy as dusk. Liu Shiqi felt that the hand holding him had a fast pulse. When he looked back, he finally felt frightened.

Although Zuo Nian's sanity had almost collapsed, his hidden weapon skills did not relax at all.Seeing that he couldn't catch up for the time being, and the opponent was young and vigorous, with a thought, the stars in his hand flew out like rain!

The moment Wendi heard the sound of the wind, he instinctively covered Liu Shiqi's back, blocking all the hidden weapons for him with his body, he let out a muffled groan, and then gasped violently.

Xingruyu is poisonous!

Liu Shiqi wanted to call Wendi's name and asked him if he was okay, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and the sockets of his eyes were warm first.He came out of Wangyue Island and hadn't experienced the dangers of the world. Wendi was injured repeatedly in front of him, and first of all he began to blame himself inexplicably, blaming himself for asking questions just now to make Wendi feel sad.

"Brother Di... Brother Di!" Just as Liu Shiqi was about to turn his head, he gently pushed his shoulder with one hand.

Wendi said firmly: "Run forward, I'm fine."

The field of vision became more and more dim, and the ground in Yanxue Peak was covered with frozen soil, rotten dead branches and leaves, and the branches of trees were trembling in the air.Liu Shiqi fled left and right, trying to find a way out.

"North." Wen Di reminded softly.

Liu Shiqi said uncertainly: "I remember that there is a cliff, it was hidden there last time..."

Wendi said again: "Listen to me, north."

Pushing away all the obstacles, Liu Shiqi was sweating coldly on the palm of Wendi's hand. He felt that he was about to lose his strength, and his steps were sunk in the mud.Zuo Nian's footsteps kept coming behind him, his heart almost rose to his throat, and after running for an unknown amount of time, the long river at his waist made an uneasy metallic sound.

In winter, the stream is about to dry up, and the cliff is close at hand.

Liu Shiqi stopped suddenly: "Brother Di, there is no way out!"

Wen Di grabbed his back, and the two of them were very close, their noses facing each other.Liu Shiqi found out that this thin boy in the past actually had such strong hands, Wendi said in a deep voice, "Do you believe me or not?"

"I..." There were still many words that he didn't know how to say. He even thought of the word "death" at this moment, and Liu Shiqi thought for a moment, met those familiar eyes, and nodded.

"Of course I believe you."

Wendi: "Okay, hold on to me."

The bottomless cliff is so deep that even the situation below cannot be seen clearly amidst the clouds and mist.Wen Di hugged Liu Shiqi's waist, took a deep breath, and looked back at Zuo Nian.

As if aware of what he wanted to do, Zuo Nian's voice changed: "Wendi, you, don't—"

"Don't you want Duxin Pill?" Wendi said with deep eyes, and paused every word, "Just dream about it."

After saying that, he hugged Liu Shiqiyi and jumped off the cliff without hesitation!

After a moment of noise in the mountains, it returned to tranquility.

The author has something to say:

Martial arts routines: jumping off a cliff must have a tree with a crooked neck
