Bright Moon and Cold Thousand Mountains

Liu Shiqi glanced at Wen Di, and when he found that the other party was looking at him, he turned his head away again.

Ever since Wen Di lost control of his emotions in front of him that day, they still get along tacitly every day, eating—Wen Di later caught a few mountain rats to roast—practicing kung fu and martial arts, but they never spoke again.

Out of an unknown and weird psychology, he was frightened at first, but then he became rebellious bluntly, and wanted to sing against Wendi.Liu Shiqi had never experienced any dangers. He knew that his parents were also killed by his enemies, but he had never had a very intuitive hatred, let alone Wendi who hated to the marrow like Wendi, who planned painstakingly and solitary, just to kill each other.

How could it be possible that the person who gritted his teeth with hatred when talking about Zuo Nian was his Wen Di?

Unable to speak at first, then unwilling to speak.

Seeing that Liu Shiqi needed time to accept, Wen Di didn't urge him, nor did he reason with him like before.During the years when they were separated, Wen Di could only guess what life Liu Shiqi lived—and he knew it was very different from him.

He should be carefree by nature, he practiced martial arts out of a hobby, and what he did should also be well-founded, never acted on his emotions, Liu Shiqi could judge whether his actions were right or wrong only after distinguishing right from wrong.When I reunited with him these days, most of the decisions he made were in the dark, and in retrospect, it was very unlike my own principles of doing things.

"Let him be quiet for a while, and we will take one step at a time for other things." Wendi thought, and silently handed over a freshly roasted mountain mouse leg.

He discovered this kind of small animal by accident. It lives in a few rare bamboo bushes. Because it eats grass seeds and drinks dew, it has no strange smell, and it hides in nests during the long winter.Wendi ate two of them, and he could swallow them without seasoning, which was better than eating fruit all the time.

Liu Shiqi was stunned for a moment, then took it, his eyes hesitated for a moment as if he wanted to speak, but he stubbornly endured it.

"Oh, you're losing your temper with me." Wendi held back a smile and thought, and decided magnanimously not to argue with him, "Maybe I've been angry a long time ago, but I just can't bear to reconcile."

But after he thought about it, he couldn't laugh again: "Knowing this, I will be angry for several days. If he finds out the truth, I'm afraid I will really collapse. If I didn't send him away back then, I had no other choice ..."

He sighed leisurely, tore up and ate the rest of the mountain rat meat, then stood up and went to practice in the small bush that had not been poisoned by them.

The original copy of "Heaven and Earth Cultivation Technique" that Zhong Buyi might have left behind, together with the rest of the content, was stretched verbatim on the white silk by Wendi, and the bamboo slips were put back into the box and buried in the ground, and they were returned to their original place.And he didn't need Liu Shiqi's persuasion, he chose to follow this set of Heaven and Earth Kungfu from beginning to end, and then continue to practice.

When doing business with Xuanhuang, Wendi was fortunate enough to read a rumored martial arts secret book from him, but he didn't know the name yet, but a few lines happened to comment on the twelfth floor, pointing out the flaws of the heaven and earth exercises one by one.He secretly remembered that he tried his best to avoid it during the practice, and felt that the Qi pulse was mild, and there was no sign of yin and yang imbalance.

According to Yu Zheng's experience, when practicing Heaven and Earth Kungfu from the ninth floor, one's meridians will flow backwards for a short time, but this time is extremely short, and it will be fine after the discomfort is over.But Wendi didn't feel that way.

He belatedly realized that this might be a trap set up by Zhong Buyi to make people retreat.

No matter how much Zhong Buyan hated the practice back then, he would not use his disciples as an experiment, but only prevented them from pursuing "Heaven and Earth Live Together". Naturally, there is no such barrier in the original version of "Heaven and Earth Practice".

Wendi would sometimes feel emotional when he came back from a dream, he got what Zuo Nian was looking for so easily, it was almost as if he had forced it.However, he inexplicably avoided the accusation that Zuo Nian was tortured.

Together with martial arts, he had achieved today's achievement by accident because he couldn't let go of his hatred...

With impure intentions, such an opportunity can be encountered. Is it because people's fortunes are different, or is God deliberately playing a joke on him?Isn't it just for revenge? God wants you to meet Treasure, let's see how to choose?

Wendi clenched his hands tightly, and after luck, his hand changed seven dazzling movements in a row, and pointed towards the tree trunk.The branches trembled slightly, but the leaves remained motionless. After he pulled his hand, a black hole was left on the trunk.

Holding this breath, he continued to move, his footwork remained still, his eyes were slightly closed, and the 36-style flower-folding hand quickly flashed in his mind.

Look at the flowers in a mess.Back on flowers.Fallen flowers are colorful.

Sparse shadows.Wearing flowers and blowing willows.Self-admiration.

……

The last move is extremely fierce, and it is called "Flowers Blooming".

When Wen Di withdrew his hand, there was no good piece of bark on the trunk of the tree. He wiped his hands indifferently and looked at it carefully for a moment.His hands are not delicate, and there are calluses formed by holding knives all year round in the palms. The joints are clearly protruding slightly, and they are neither fragrant nor soft when pinched. He is no longer a boy.

He sniffed, remembering that when he was a child, Liu Shiqi couldn't fall asleep and hugged the pillow to find him. He pinched the palm of his hand and slept all night, and the next day he could still see two or three finger prints on the palm—smell Di's heart softened.

Thinking of this, he put away the hostility brought by the folding hands, pushed aside the vegetation and walked out.

Just thinking about how to speak to end the cold war that suddenly started, Wen Di suddenly heard Liu Shiqi's voice.

The boy was still sitting where he was, only giving him a straight back.There were times when he didn't speak, and he stammered when he opened his mouth: "Di, Brother Di, I have something to tell you."

Wen Di immediately felt strange. He cheered up and sat down next to Liu Shiqi, took a handful of hot spring water to wash off the blood on his fingertips because of the broken skin, took his step, and said flatly, "Let's talk."

Liu Shiqi seemed to have been typing a draft for a long time. He staggered twice at the beginning, and then he became fluent: "I was angry with you that day because I thought...he was your master. Even if he has a deep hatred for you, it's still considered a crime for you for so many years." With the kindness of upbringing and teaching, I have never really treated you too badly. The things he killed others are one thing at a time. Just the revenge of the two of you who killed your father... My parents were also killed by the enemy. If I knew Whoever it is may be as angry as you. But I can't do it."

He got stuck again, Wendi said persuasively, "What can't be done?"

Liu Shiqi: "I have been dormant for 14 years, just for revenge."

Wen Di silently turned her head to look at him, her phoenix eyes were as gentle as usual, but the mask was gone.After receiving such a glance from him, Liu Shiqi seemed to realize that the other party did not blame him, and gradually became more courageous.

"Senior brother Xie... the man who was with me in Linzi taught me that time smooths out many things, but only hatred and love, whenever it is mentioned, I can immediately empathize with it, and return to the emotions at that time overnight "Liu Shiqi paused, and said, "But both will make people crazy. We martial arts practitioners are most taboo to be restless, even though Wangyue Island's kung fu does not 'cultivate the mind', but in the way of life, The heart is also very important."

Wen Di nodded and said softly: "It makes sense."

Liu Shiqi finished the topic quickly: "I want to persuade you to let go of your hatred. As for whether Zuo Nian should die or not, other people on the [-]th floor are more qualified to judge. People should not live with hatred."

At first, I thought he was a bit interesting, but when Wendi heard this sentence, she laughed angrily: "Liu Shiqi, what's your position?"

Liu Shiqi: "I..."

He stubbornly grabbed Liu Shiqi's hand and pressed it to his heart, his expression remained unchanged, and his voice was trembling again: "I have survived the pain of my family's ruin and death for so many years, they grow here, I can't help it give up……"

"Then what if he dies in front of you?" Liu Shiqi said, "You will be happy, and you will have revenge for killing your father?"

"Don't be a saint here! Everything I do is not just for my own selfishness, you don't understand at all! If you are in a different position with me, will you still be able to face it so calmly?"

Liu Shiqi was stunned by his words, and went through all the past in his mind.His only memory of his parents is the moonlight in Chang'an, and his impression of that "brother" is even more vague.

What if one day he knew that the person who killed his parents was Yi Chunqiu?Or Feng Tingyun?

Liu Shiqi put himself in the situation, as if he was not much more sensible than Wendi.

But is there really anyone in the world who can live because of hatred?

Seeing his expression struggling, Wen Di realized that he was a little out of control just now, he lowered his voice and said: "You can't convince me, Shiqi, you can't actually convince anyone."

Liu Shiqi was not in a hurry to refute him this time, but just nodded with a lonely expression.

It seems too difficult for him to grow up on paper. There is only one bone-shattering pain in his life, which started from the thrill of escaping from Xixiu Mountain, and finally caught a trace of phaseless energy in the sea breeze of Wangyue Island.

But there is no more, he finally willingly admits that he is too immature compared to Wen Di.

At this time, the golden sun is sinking in the west, and the sun rises and the moon sets cannot be seen in the valley, and the time of day can only be perceived through the change of light.Wen Di looked up, and leaned over his shoulder.

He pressed his lips against Liu Shiqi's ear, patted his earlobe with restraint, and quickly retracted into a whisper: "There are many things you still can't understand, I will tell you slowly when I have a chance. Although hatred makes you People are suffering, but they are still a support, no one can be pure for a lifetime."

Liu Shiqi's voice was so low that it disappeared into the dew: "I know."

Wen Di shook his shoulders, trying to make the other party smile, but he even told two jokes, Liu Shiqi still rolled his eyes.Wen Di had an idea, touched the piccolo in his sleeve, and pulled it out: "Look, what is this?"

Liu Shiqi glanced at him and said weakly, "This is you."

The next second the piccolo twitched his cheek, and the cold bamboo made him tremble.Liu Shiqi looked at Wendi suspiciously, and saw him bring the piccolo to his lips.

The corners of his mouth raised upwards, just a very slight arc, but his eyes were still sad.

Wendi tried the soundtrack first, and was pleasantly surprised to find that he hadn't changed his character due to the messy encounters he had encountered along the way. He winked at Liu Shiqi, and then began to play a little tune that he knew by heart.

It wasn't willows or plum blossoms. Among the few memories he had of his childhood "home", except for the tragedy of the flames at the end, there were only some fragments left, such as the melody that was always hummed by his adoptive mother.

The lyrics composed by the adoptive father were played until the end, and Wen Di was stumbled by missing.

He didn't come back to his senses for a long time, he put down his flute and looked at Liu Shiqi for a long time, unexpectedly found nostalgia in his eyes.He leaned over, and before he could ask any questions, Liu Shiqi suddenly sang along to the melody just now:

"...The phoenix trees are under the moon at night, and the dew wets the clothes."

Wendi was stunned.

Then Liu Shiqi seemed to wake up with a start. He straightened his back suddenly, put away the relaxation just now, and said in surprise, "Why do I feel this melody is so familiar, Brother Di, have you played it to me before?"

Wendi shook his head, and couldn't help but start beating the drums in his heart.

After humming these two sentences over and over several times, Liu Shiqi murmured again: "It's strange, there should be more in front. I don't know why, but I always think there are a few sentences in front... I can't remember, but they must be there. -"

"The geese in Xiguan return home, and the willows are folded to wash away the dust. After seventeen nights of rain, the lanterns are still not cold. The spring mountains light up the spring scenery, and the good night is for the lover." Wendi looked straight into his eyes and repeated in a low voice, "It's night under the phoenix tree, The sound of dew dampening clothes."

Liu Shiqi was shocked when he saw him. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word, his mind was in a mess!While Wen Di was still staring at him calmly and tenderly, Liu Shiqi said with difficulty: "How do you know... this poem?"

A certain thought lightly surfaced, and was pushed down after a circle of ripples.

Wen Di pinched his palm without any trace, and said safely: "It's a Chang'an ballad, I heard it when I was young. Isn't your hometown also near Chang'an, so it's not surprising to know."

This time Liu Shiqi didn't believe him: "I was only so old at that time, I couldn't remember it for so long when I heard it by chance..."

He squatted aside thinking, his fingers unconsciously drew several lines on the ground.

Wendi stopped talking, and several voices in his head clamored "tell him", he was almost moved by his own words, a chill in his chest turned up, he stood up abruptly, and threw down the sentence "I'm going to practice kung fu" aside Liu Shiqi went into the deep vegetation and meditated.

He was repeatedly disturbed during breath adjustment, Wen Di was covered in cold sweat, and for the first time in his life, he almost lost control of the trend of his true energy.

"It turns out that I claim to be unmoved by any emotion other than hatred, but I am still confused because he accidentally uttered a line of poetry." He suppressed the risk of retrograde meridians, and thought almost collapsed, "I hope He remembered it, so that he can tell him openly that I am not someone else, but..."

After hearing what Liu Shiqi said, she didn't want him to know such a cruel thing.

Even if it is brought up again after many years, Liu Shiqi may be surprised or not understand.At that time, the Sri Lankan had passed away, and I had let go of my resentment, so I could calmly say the name "Zuo Nian".

The retrograde cold air was finally successfully guided back to its place by Wen Di, he let out a long breath, and followed the breath adjustment to run a small cycle.

After Wendi got up and went outside, Liu Shiqi had already fallen asleep leaning against a tree.Deeper and more serious, he took off his outer shirt and covered the other party's body, and sat beside him, staring at Shi Qi's expression for a long time.

He has always slept soundly, but this night he frowned, as if he was very unwilling, and he didn't know what he dreamed about.Wendi raised her hand to cover his eyebrows, the cool temperature gave a little comfort just right.

Liu Shiqi's eyebrows gradually relaxed, and the young man twisted his body in deep sleep, leaned on his shoulder, and instinctively hugged Wendi's arm completely, making him tremble all over.Wen Di was silent for a while, and couldn't help leaning forward and was about to give a soft kiss, but when his lips were about to touch the other party, he retreated to his original position as if awakened with a start.

"What's wrong with me..." He rubbed his forehead helplessly, feeling flustered for a while.

It was getting late, and I could vaguely hear the rustling of willows in Chang'an at night.

Cold comes and summer goes, the long winter of Xixiu Mountain can cover all the sins and hustle and bustle under the thick white snow, the passage of time also slows down with the silence of the snow mountain, completely curb the hostility, and silently watch what happened everything.

Mo Ci hurriedly walked past the martial arts arena on the twelfth floor, and a young disciple ran over in the distance: "Senior Brother Mo!"

He stopped, and helped the young man who almost lost his footing: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Eldest brother called you to Tingfangyuan, the head master is awake!" The little disciple gasped and spoke like popping beans, "Also said, don't forget to take your own knife. I have to go to Mr. Yuan to take care of it!" If you are injured, you will be excused first."

Mo Ci nodded, watched him run to the place where the patients were treated, clenched the knife at his waist, and walked quickly to Tingfangyuan.

There are many pavilions on the twelfth floor, and the names of each are elegant and unparalleled.Tingfangyuan was originally the residence of senior brother Yu Zheng, but after that accident, it became a place where the head was imprisoned.They paid a heavy price, and finally knocked out Zuo Nian in the forest of Yanxue Peak when Zuo Nian was weak.

Looking back, Mo Ci felt chills running down her back. They didn't know where Wendi and Liu Shiqi had gone. There were only three people in the forest at that time, and Zuo Nian was left on the edge of the cliff when they chased after them.He became so mad that he lost his sanity and didn't recognize anyone, and his usual chic and casual flower folding hands were in chaos, which gave Yu Zheng an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Yu Zheng immediately locked him up, and together with Song Min'er put under house arrest the two uncles who did not do anything, and committed a thorough crime. Fortunately, Xixiu Mountain is far away from the Central Plains, so once the news is blocked, it will be difficult to spread.He also imitated Zuo Nian's handwriting to repair a book and sent it to Beichuan Academy, and he settled the matter just by guessing.

Not long after, Shang Zihuai, the head of Beichuan, wrote back in person, expressing his concern, and said that the Ming and Qing talks would not blame the twelfth floor for this.

What kind of flowers can the Huashan faction find out? The twelfth floor didn't care at all, but after this incident, Zuo Nian lost heart, and most people—including Song Min'er—convinced Yu Zheng.

But Mo Ci always felt very flustered. He mentioned it to Yu Zheng once, and the other party only said that he would toss and turn because Wen Di disappeared.

More than a month has passed since then, and seeing that the twelfth lunar month is almost over, Zuo Nian wakes up leisurely.

When Mo Ci arrived outside Tingfang Garden, his back was still a little feverish. The guards here are heavily guarded, and there are only senior brothers and sisters in the forefront.When they saw Mo Ci, they knew it was Yu Zheng who called, so they let him in without further ado.

"Brother Zheng." Seeing Yu Zheng standing at the door, Mo Ci ran over a few steps, "Are you okay?"

Hearing Yu Zheng's unique tenderness towards him, he rolled his eyes: "Don't panic, Master has recovered his sanity."

Mo Ci glanced at the closed window suspiciously, and Yu Zheng rubbed his reddened ears: "It's just that there must be sequelae if you go crazy. Master's true energy goes astray, and his cultivation is almost half destroyed. I haven't had time to tell him yet."

After saying that, he gently pulled Yu Zheng's back, and kissed him on the forehead.Although Yu Zheng's eyes were gentle when he was doing these things, he still had no expression on his face, only his movements were carefully lingering, his eyes were black and blue, and he hadn't rested for a long time.

Mo Ci's heart ached for a while, and just as she was about to say something to comfort her, she heard a violent cough in the room.He quickly grabbed Yu Zheng's hand and was patted comfortingly.

Yu Zheng said: "I'll go in and have a look, you stay here by yourself, okay?"

Mo Ci didn't know what to think, she bowed her head hesitantly and said nothing.After he was rescued by Wendi, he was afraid of the closeness of other people, and he didn't like to be alone in one place. Yu Zheng understood his expression and kissed his face again. Porcelain palm squeezed:

"Don't be afraid, I'm inside, just call me if you need anything. No one will hurt you."

After Yu Zheng finished speaking, he pushed the door open and walked in. Mo Ci stood by the window and could faintly hear voices from inside.

Zuo Nian's voice became very hoarse: "Did you do anything wrong other than... when you became obsessed? I don't remember anything, Ah Zheng. It's been many years, and you still fulfill your duties."

Yu Zheng could imagine a business-like cold face just by listening to the words: "This time more than 30 people were killed or injured. Master, you have committed a lot of crimes. When you are well, I hope you can give everyone an explanation."

Zuo Nian said: "Of course, this matter happened because of me... Also, where did Wendi go? Where is Liu Miansheng?"

Yu Zheng didn't change his mood at all: "The situation was too chaotic at that time. I don't know who broke the lock of the cage. After they came out of the chaos, you chased them all the way to the edge of the cliff. Later... probably died."

Zuo Nian immediately gasped, and the uncontrollable anger almost gushed out, and Mo Ci subconsciously took a step back: "Dead?!"

"Master, the 'Heaven and Earth Same Life' is difficult to break through without the Duxin Pill, even if it is there, it may not be much better. My disciple dares to advise you, just stop here, lest Xixiu Mountain will eventually flow into rivers of blood." Yu Zheng Analyzed in detail, the extremely fierce words are much more believable when spoken in his calm tone.

Zuo Nian was silent for a long time, before saying after a long while: "You are not me, so you don't know the importance of Du Xin Dan..."

Mo Ci, who was eavesdropping outside the window, was thoughtful, and his mind was in a mess. For a while, it was Wendi and Liu Shiqi who were missing, for a while, it was Yu Zheng, and for a while, he returned to the thick smoke that day.

On Xixiu Mountain, Mo Ci raised his head and looked into the distance. There were black clouds on Yanxue Peak, which seemed to be an ominous sign.
