Bright Moon and Cold Thousand Mountains

"Without Duxin Pill, I would only get angry more and more easily, and it is inevitable for me to get angry..." Zuo Nian's voice continued, but was interrupted by Yu Zheng persistently.

Yu Zheng said: "Master, it's better not to think about it so much, so you can rest, and the disciple will go out to deal with other things first."

After speaking, I heard the sound of clothes rubbing against each other, and then my footsteps stopped in place.Just when Mo Ci thought the matter was over, a person suddenly broke into the gate of Tingfangyuan.

The woman was wearing a dirty white dress casually, and she was exhausted from not closing her eyes for several days and nights. At this moment, she walked quickly to the door, and when she saw Mo Ci blocking her, she didn't even slap her on the spot: "Hey, Ah Ci, why don't you?" Only you are here, where is Senior Brother Yu?"

Mo Ci: "Brother is talking to Master inside... Senior Sister Song, are you okay?"

Song Min'er waved his hand, frowned and said, "Look at me, what a fart! Tell Yu Zheng to come out quickly."

Before Mo Ci could respond, the door opened with a "squeak".With the lingering distress in Yu Zheng's brows, he put the lock on his back and said to Song Min'er, "What's wrong?"

Song Min'er's brows were tightly locked, and her beautiful face stretched into a bitter gourd shape: "There are too many injuries, and there are not enough medicinal materials in the door. At this time, it is mid-winter, and the mountains are hard to enter. Mr. Yuan asked me to go to Xuanwu Town to buy them. I On the way back, I saw a man coming from the town, asking around how to get to Xixiu Mountain. I thought something was wrong, so I chatted with him."

Yu Zheng and Mo Ci exchanged glances calmly, and they both felt that Song Min'er was very witty this time!

And the woman didn't pay attention to the strange expression of the senior brother for the time being, and continued: "He probably recognized the cinnabar I ordered, and asked me if I was a disciple in the sect. I saw that I couldn't hide it, so I admitted it. He let me Bring him here...he asked to see Wendi by name, I asked him why, but he said...he has Duxin Pill."

Yu Zheng opened his eyes slightly, and suddenly closed his fingers holding the handle of the knife on his waist: "Which sect?"

"Yes, I thought about it too, so I tried a few tricks from him. His martial arts are very strange. They are based on the methods of Chunyang, but they are not as fierce and incomparable as Wenfa Temple and Bodhi Hall. He is extremely light and elegant, and his footwork It has the same meaning as Ting Fengbu, but the sword technique is unprecedented, and I can't tell who I studied under..."

Yu Zheng said "Hey": "What does that person look like?"

After thinking about it carefully, Song Min'er struggled and said, "Well, younger than you, he is an extremely elegant man...wearing white clothes, with a long and narrow sword, and something on his back, I guess it's a zither from the shape."

Mo Ci said distressedly: "I've never heard of such a person in Jianghu."

And Yu Zheng sighed: "Forget it, those who come here are not kind, and those who come here don't come. I'm afraid I have some bargaining chips in hand to name someone at this time. Junior sister, please invite him up the mountain."

Song Min'er nodded at him, turned around and ran away at full speed.It is still a little difficult for her to go up and down the mountain twice in one day, but right now no one can take care of that much, and Song Min'er herself has no complaints.

After sending Song Min'er away, Yu Zheng felt his back hurt after a while, so he went to sit down in the Inkstone Washing Room next to Tingfang Garden, and asked for a hot towel to put on his forehead.Mo Ci looked at everything from the side, walked around behind him and pressed Yu Zheng's shoulders, and said in a low voice, "Brother Zheng, are you okay? You didn't feel well before, and now you're too busy to touch the ground."

Before attacking Zuo Nian, Yu Zheng injured his left hand in order to block him, so far he can't lift it up, and Zuo Nian's broken hand hurt his back, and now he is all supported by one breath.

He waved his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and said, "If I fall over, are you going to count on Song Min'er's vase?"

These things haven't spread to Jianghu yet, but I don't know if they can escape the eyes of Green Mountain Pavilion. If they are known, those people who have gone to the twelfth floor secretly and secretly may really want to step on them one after another.

Zuo Nian went mad, this news is comparable to the loss of Du Xindan back then.

Among the elders, there are a few uncles and uncles who have been wandering around for many years and have long since disappeared. The remaining two uncles and uncles who are still on the twelfth floor know about it and have done nothing for many years. Thank God if they can not cause trouble.On the disciple's side, the whereabouts of Wen Di, who helped him with heavy responsibilities, is unknown, and Song Min'er can run errands, but when it comes time to make up her mind, she is a useless idiot.

Yu Zheng sighed quietly, and thought several times in his heart: "Why don't we just let it go, I'll just run away too, whoever likes to clean up this mess, I won't serve you anymore!"

But he couldn't simply quit. His sense of responsibility had been planted by Zuo Nian since he was the general manager, and over the years, it had grown into a part of him that he couldn't give up.The twelfth floor is his home, Zuo Nian is his mentor, a group of younger brothers and sisters rely on him, anyone can leave at this time, only he, Yu Zheng, can't.

Fortunately, he still has Mo Ci, so he won't be lonely when he is tired.

Yu Zheng embraced Mo Ci with one arm, and in a posture of standing and sitting, his whole body was buried in his waist, showing a rare fragility.He spoke softly: "A Ci, will you leave one day?"

Mo Ci smiled and said, "Aren't you here, I won't go."

He suddenly felt that with these words, the twelfth floor could still hold up and prevent it from collapsing.

After resting for a while, Song Min'er led that person up the mountain as well—a young man with a sword on his waist and a qin on his back, who else could it be if it wasn't Feng Tingyun?He cheerfully followed Song Min'er all the way, and would ask a few questions when he encountered strange plants and trees, but he never got an answer. He only felt that the female disciple on the twelfth floor was a little cold.

Song Min'er had preconceived prejudices against him, and even more thought that this person had no good intentions to threaten them with Du Xindan at this time, and he would definitely not have good feelings for him.

Feng Tingyun didn't know anything about these things. After wandering to Xixiu Mountain with great difficulty, he only had time to send a letter to Xie Xingzhou in Xuanwu Town, and was attracted by Song Min'er who was dressed as a disciple on the [-]th floor, so he went to talk to him.

It's just that he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, so the other party agreed to lead him up the mountain.

Crossing the waterfall and a bridge formed by the fall of a natural ancient wood, the twelfth floor is within easy reach.

Different from the upright and quiet place of practice in the imagination, there was a lot of noise everywhere, and several disciples looked in a hurry and didn't even look at him.Not only are there no neat arrays in other places, but even the buildings are a little dilapidated.

Feng Tingyun was first surprised by this inexplicable "a hundred wastes waiting to be reborn", then walked to Xiyanzhai, and immediately felt something strange.

He expected that Liu Shiqi's reappearance would make the twelfth floor really uncomfortable, at least Zuo Nian would definitely not let him go, but what's going on with this exhausted look?

The person who greeted him was Yu Zheng, and the two exchanged names, Yu Zheng was not attached to his teacher, and casually said to the side: "Your Excellency, please sit down, my teacher is injured, so I can't personally receive distant guests Yes. Yu is the eldest disciple of the head master, and is currently in charge of the internal affairs of the sect."

Feng Tingyun nodded, and swallowed all the words he had written - he intended to go straight to the point and exchange Du Xindan for Liu Shiqi, and then wait for the opportunity to turn back, snatch Du Xindan back, and give nothing. Zuo Nian stayed behind.But in the end, Zuo Nianren didn't know where he was, and he didn't see the "Wendi" that Xie Xingzhou said, so Feng Tingyun could only wait and see what happened.

Seeing his eyes flickering, Yu Zheng said: "Junior Sister said, Your Excellency seems to be looking for a disciple named Wendi?"

Feng Tingyun hurriedly said: "Exactly, I wonder if Shaoxia Wen is still in Xixiu Mountain?"

Yu Zheng's fingers tapped on the edge of the table a few times: "To tell you the truth, some minor accidents happened on the twelfth floor a few days ago. It was in this accident that Master was seriously injured, and I heard that Junior Brother has disappeared for the time being."

"Ah... is that so..." Feng Tingyun still smiled politely, "Since Brother Yu is so honest, I don't practice Tai Chi anymore. As far as I know, the disciple on the [-]th floor who fled eight years ago Liu Miansheng was arrested in Linzi, but actually I have a very close relationship with him and came to look for him."

Yu Zheng's eyes sank: "Oh? How do you say that?"

Feng Tingyun: "If Xiao Shiqi—it is Liu Miansheng—sees you here, you have to call Senior Brother."

The authentic senior brother Yu Zheng suddenly felt a little complicated, thinking that after Liu Shiqi escaped, he should switch to someone else's family, and it was only natural to have a new teacher.He invited Feng Tingyun for a cup of tea, and said: "Junior Brother Liu and Junior Brother Wen disappeared together."

Feng Tingyun: "How long have you been missing?"

Yu Zheng pinched his fingers and calculated, and said: "According to today's two months, the twelfth floor has searched Yanxue Peak and five nearby peaks, except for cliffs and deep valleys, all other places have been searched, and there is no trace. .”

Feng Tingyun frowned and stopped answering. He tightened his grip on the teacup, but he never expected this result.

He didn't speak for a long time, Yu Zheng stared at his sleeve, and said calmly: "In my opinion, if you are not very busy, you can stay on the twelfth floor, and you will be notified immediately when you hear about Junior Brother Don't worry about your Excellency. Otherwise, if there is no one outside Yanxue Peak, it will be easy to lose your way. In the middle of winter, if something goes wrong...it will be bad."

There is an undisguised threat between the lines: first detain and control the person, if you insist on leaving, if the strong dragon does not suppress the leader, we also have ways to make you disappear quietly.

Feng Tingyun has never been the only one who threatens others with a hidden knife, and he has never received such a threat, so he immediately turned his head and looked at Yu Zheng.The other party's expression was calm and cold, and no one would back away like that, and sparks could fly out of nowhere.

The two were speechless for a moment, Feng Tingyun keenly noticed from Yu Zheng's non-evasive expression that the two were of similar rank, even Yu Zheng was a little higher than himself.

He was able to bend and stretch, with a flattered expression on his face: "Would it be too inconvenient for an outsider to live on the twelfth floor? Seeing that your faction is now repairing everywhere, I'm afraid it will only increase the burden?"

Yu Zheng snorted without a smile on his face: "There are still some savings on the twelfth floor, so it won't be a problem for you to live there for ten or eight years."

Feng Tingyun: "Then it's better to be respectful than obedient. I've been bothering you for a while."

Yu Zheng twitched the corners of his lips miserly: "You're welcome."

Immediately afterward, someone came to invite Feng Tingyun to live in the guest room, hot water and food were all available, and the bed was warm and comfortable just right, the twelfth floor really accommodated him like a distinguished guest.

It's just that from this day on, no matter where he goes, he is always followed by Song Min'er not far away. Feng Tingyun has tried several times, but he still can't get rid of him!He claimed to have been on Moon-Watching Island since he was 15 years old, and he was a well-deserved master in both lightness kung fu and swordsmanship. How could it be that a random disciple on the twelfth floor could restrain him?

At that time, he didn't know that Song Min'er was not "just a disciple" at all, Feng Tingyun thought aggrievedly: "Could it be that Luo Wuhen is not the best lightness kung fu in the world? Master deceived me!"

He was worried about how to get rid of the female disciple who was following him, so that he could explore inside and outside Xixiu Mountain, but Yu Zheng on the other end was not in a hurry to tell him that he wanted Duxin Dan, purely as an extra mouth to eat, what should he do at other times up.

It was Feng Tingyun who gave him an inspiration. Behind Liu Shiqi there was an unfamiliar teacher, perhaps it had been hidden for many years, no wonder they didn't know about it.Therefore, it was impossible for Liu Shiqi to commit suicide so simply, he must still be in Xixiu Mountain.Yu Zheng immediately intensified his search efforts, expanding the scope all the way to Quefeng.

"Go a little further to the side, Magpie Peak is the closest to Yanxue Peak, maybe they will come around here." Mo Ci held a lantern, the sun had already set, but their search was not over yet.

A disciple raised his head and said, "Junior Brother Mo, are you sure we can still find someone? Maybe Wendi has already..."

Mo Ci interrupted him, frowned and said: "Brother Zheng said that if you live, you must see people and if you die, you must see corpses. No matter how many people there are, even if you want to be the leader, you should have an explanation. Don't worry, we will go back in a quarter of an hour."

The few people sighed and continued without complaint. Mo Ci showed the way for them, and after taking two steps, his eyelids twitched ominously.He rubbed the corners of his eyes, and thought, "Could it be that something happened to Brother Zheng?"

It was just a distraction, but Mo Ci didn't stop walking forward. When he closed one eye, his vision inevitably deviated. He felt that his surroundings were a bit dark, but before he could react, his foot suddenly slipped, and the soft thin earth.

A round pit appeared out of thin air!

The disciple at the end of the line heard a scream, and when he turned his head, Mo Ci was no longer there, and the lantern in his hand fell to the side alone.

The disciple immediately shouted with all his strength: "Come here! Mo Ci has fallen somewhere!"

Everyone gathered around the round pit. The pit was so big that it seemed very lonely in the sparsely populated Quefeng, and it was bottomless. Some people tried to call Mo Ci's name a few times, but they could only hear the echo.

"It's over," someone said, "I didn't find Wendi, and I lost Mo Ci... Senior Brother, Senior Brother..."

Except for those on the twelfth floor who were extremely unresponsive—for example, Song Miner—who didn't know that Yu Zheng regarded Mo Ci as his favorite, and if they disappeared, Yu Zheng might have the intention of killing them all!

Immediately, several people looked at each other in dismay, and began to mourn in silence with mournful expressions.

Before the end of the exclamation could disappear, the rapid weightlessness of falling followed. Mo Ci instinctively protected his head and face, and his back was wiped bloody in the pit. The pain made him want to cry.I don't know how long this fall lasted. When Mo Ci fell to the ground with a thud, he was in a mess and didn't recover for a while.

He wiped his face, held back the tears that came out of fright, and barely stood up while supporting the surrounding rocks and soil.

The round crater is about two feet in radius, and it should not be a masterpiece of small animals in terms of size alone.Lifting his head and looking down, the little light from the sky was almost invisible because dusk had passed. Mo Ci couldn't estimate how far he had fallen, but he was just glad that the pit was not straight, and there was a slope, otherwise he would not die if he fell directly Also have to be silly.

Mo Ci is usually well protected by Yu Zheng, but it doesn't mean he is a waste, and immediately wants to climb out of this hole.

He climbed up two steps, the walls of the pit were so clean that there was not even a place to stand. Mo Ci felt that something was wrong, so he jumped back to the bottom of the pit, and stretched out his hand to carefully touch the material of the four walls.

With this touch, he was almost shocked—it wasn't rock and soil at all, like carefully built stone bricks!

Mo Ci didn't have a fire bag on him, so he couldn't see clearly, so he simply sat down.Just as he was about to adjust his breath, Mo Ci unexpectedly discovered that there seemed to be a mechanism on the wall, which was a very simple pull valve.

He looked around again anxiously, and after not finding any ambush, he tried his best to stick himself against the wall and next to the mechanism, and then gritted his teeth and pulled down the mechanism——

After a few "rumbling" sounds, Mo Ci felt that there was nothing behind him. He was afraid of ghosts, so he instinctively dodged lightly, and was surprised to find that he was slowly driving away from the bottom to the top of the stone wall he had just stood on!

And from the crack in the ground leaked a mass of melting light——

There was a small door on the stone wall that could allow one person to enter and exit. Mo Ci looked around, then poked his head out first, and found the same pull valve on the other side, after deliberation, he got out of the pit.

He was sneezed by the strong smell of grass and trees, and there was a warm breath in the air.

Mo Ci was in a daze for a moment, and then finally felt a kind of gratitude for escaping from the sky and the astonishment of "did I find something", and the small door slowly closed.He looked around, as if he had fallen into a valley he had never seen before, and there was a fat and big gray rabbit at his feet, after sniffing it, he ran away without fear of people.

The presence of animals meant that there was an exit, but Mo Ci didn't dare to go out. It was already night, and if he acted rashly, he might encounter fierce beasts dormant and hibernating in the mountains.He simply sat down on the spot and began to study the mechanism.

The pull valve on the outside looks old at first glance, because of the open air, compared with the one inside, it is almost covered with rust.Mo Ci suddenly regretted for a moment that he came out without researching it clearly. If this could not be opened, he could only walk the unfamiliar mountain road.

He tried to see some traces from the pull valve, thinking so intently that he didn't even notice when someone was approaching behind him.After exhaling a breath, Mo Ci suddenly frowned and grabbed the handle of the knife.

The grass and trees swayed slightly, dripping a little dew, Mo Ci suddenly raised her head and turned around, stretched out her hand and drew her knife to hold the chopped weapon——

"Zheng."

The man holding the knife had great strength, but suddenly retracted it at the next moment. Before Mo Ci could react, the person in front of him was still with the knife in its sheath, and his face against the light could not be seen clearly. name:

"Aci? Why are you here?"

Mo Ci squinted her eyes to see the appearance of the person who came, and almost wept with joy, like a swallow returning to its nest, she pounced on him: "Brother Wen!"

There was an acquaintance sitting beside the hot spring, and Mo Ci looked curiously at Liu Shiqi and Wendi in front of him.I haven't seen each other in just a few dozen days. Although the two people are disheveled, their faces are still rosy, their limbs are intact, and there is no sign of injury.

Although Wen Di was surprised by his arrival, he also succinctly told the experience of the two of them, and after hearing Mo Ci's shocking fall and pulling the valve mechanism, he barely guessed the cause and effect.

"That is to say, this place is really a secret construction place." Wendi got up abruptly, and swayed around on the flat grass that they had sorted out, "We have stayed here for more than two months, and the surrounding stone walls have not yet Find out inch by inch, Ah Ci, since there is a mechanism, can we go up through there?"

Mo Ci nodded first, and then added anxiously: "But that place is rusty, and it will take a few days to clean it up."

Wendi heaved a sigh of relief: "That's better than climbing up the cliff. Since the rock wall can come down, it must be able to go up. It doesn't matter if the other juniors know that you fell from there. When they tell Yu Zheng, they will go up." Even if the Magpie Peak is leveled, I will come to save you."

After hearing this, Mo Ci smiled embarrassedly, said "I'll look around again", and ran away.

It's not a big place, but even if we get together to whisper something, it can be guaranteed that the third person can't hear it.After Mo Ci left, Liu Shiqi chatted with Wendi about some homely things, and after testing that the other party really couldn't hear him, he immediately sat next to Wendi and whispered in his ear: "I want to use the "Heaven and Earth Technique" Tell him?"

"No." Wen Di lowered his eyes and said, "The fewer people who know about it, the better, otherwise it may reach Zuo Nian's ears one day. He is still alive, this is a knot in our hearts, we can't help it." Looking for a way to die."

They muttered in low voices, and Mo Ci's surprised voice came from the other side: "Senior Brother Wen, Senior Brother Liu, come here—there seems to be a dark room here?!"
