Bright Moon and Cold Thousand Mountains

Liu Shiqi fell into a coma for three whole days.

That day, he first understood the foundation of Liuyang Palm in a flash, and hit Zuo Nian with all his strength, his body was extremely weak, and before he could adjust his breath, he heard a shocking truth told by the flute.One hurt his body, and the other hurt his heart. Under various stimuli, Liu Shiqi only had time to grab Feng Tingyun, and then his legs gave way and he fell down.

Wen Di carried him back to his residence, Yu Zheng kept his mouth shut, but in private he asked Mr. Yuan to diagnose Liu Shiqi.As expected, in the battle with Zuo Nian, Liu Shiqi was first injured internally by the Folding Hand, and then broke through the Liuyang Palm with his luck. It was extremely dangerous and almost died.

After the injection, Mr. Yuan sighed, prescribed a tranquilizing medicine, and left a sentence, "If he doesn't wake up, the heavens will take him away", and he didn't come back for the first few days.

At first Liu Shiqi did not wake up, Wendi kept watch day and night, but it was contrary to his internal strength, so he did not dare to adjust his breath rashly, and was anxious all day long.Feng Tingyun came from the same sect as Master Liu Shiqi, but he just wanted to watch from the sidelines, waved his hands and said that the younger brother would not die, so he didn't know where to go every day.

Then Liu Shiqi had a fever while he was half asleep and half awake, and his face gradually turned red after it subsided slowly.

Liu Shiqi walked outside the gate of hell, and when he woke up it was late at night, exhausted physically and mentally.

After opening his eyes, he felt thirsty at first, and then his head and limbs began to ache. It was not a trauma, but a soreness that made people grit their teeth and endure it, making it difficult to scream.He lay quietly for a while, and only got up after the time passed.

It was still the low couch in Xixiu Mountain, and the rabbit brought out from Xiao Penglai nestled at the end of the bed, closing its eyes and resting silently, turning itself into a ball of hair.There was a person sitting at the side table. Liu Shiqi narrowed his eyes and was about to ask a question. When he saw the person clearly by the candlelight, he was stunned: "Yu...Senior Brother Yu?"

Not to hear the flute.While Liu Shiqi had a headache, he suddenly felt a sense of loss.

Yu Zheng didn't rest, he kept watching Liu Shiqi's movements, and when he saw that he could still talk, he knew he was fine, so he got up and walked over to sit by the couch, and said, "I heard you talking in your dreams in the afternoon, I think you're about to wake up. Di said he was ashamed to see you, and insisted that I watch for him for a while—come, drink the medicine first."

He handed over a bowl of pitch-black medicine, and it was hard to swallow the smell, but Liu Shiqi took it without saying a word, drank it in a few sips, and didn't even frown.

After wiping off the medicine stain on his lips, Liu Shiqi looked up at Yu Zheng, hesitated for a while and said, "Is he... angry with me?"

"Impossible." Yu Zheng glanced at the sky and sighed, "It's almost dawn, I should go back and prepare for other things. A lot of things happened on the twelfth floor in the past few days when you were sleeping, you are no longer a disciple of our sect, Unrestrained. Rest for a while, and go find your senior brother after sunrise."

Yu Zheng's words were quite mysterious, Liu Shiqi vaguely guessed something, didn't ask any more questions, and watched him go out.

He was sitting on the couch, the winter in Xixiu Mountain was so cold that his bones and bones were frozen.The first month will come out in a few days, but there is still no sign of recovery.He doesn't hear the flute, he can't stand the cold.

Memories flashed through his mind like a piece of auspicious light, he covered his head, the scene of that day is still vivid in his mind——

Zuo Nian injured Wendi and defeated Feng Tingyun. He was as crazy as he was, and he no longer had the elegant appearance of the head of the twelfth floor.

Then he patted the "Great Light" in Liuyang's palm, making his whole body feel as if it was empty when he went out.

In a vague consciousness, when he heard Wendi's words, he felt aggrieved belatedly, and before he was allowed to see Zuo Nian's final ending, his eyes suddenly went dark.

"Hmm..." Liu Shiqi sighed sadly, buried his face in the quilt, feeling a little empty in his heart.His eyes were also covered with a layer of darkness, thinking: "Is Zuo Nian really dead?"

Wen Di... What did Wen Di say the other day?Is he the shadowy foster brother?

This thought made him drowsy again, Liu Shiqi lay down again and turned over.The previous tiredness was gradually replaced by the warmth of the mattress, he briefly forgot about these chaos, and finally fell asleep after a long period of loss and pain.

There was only steady breathing left at the head of the house, Yu Zheng did not leave outside the door, he looked at a tree, and suddenly said: "Come out."

The white clothes flashed behind the tree, and immediately a figure stood gracefully opposite him.After seeing who came, Yu Zheng was puzzled first, he frowned slightly: "Junior Sister Song?"

Song Min'er didn't wear any makeup, she was only wearing the simplest twelfth-floor student uniform. She was carrying a bundle, a knife at her waist, and a bamboo hat. Her complexion was pale: "Senior brother, I'm here to bid you farewell."

She has almost never had a good tone towards Yu Zheng, and she has never given in to him when she has been more obedient than ever in the past few days.At this time, she called her senior brother in a low voice. Yu Zheng was not used to laughing, but he couldn't laugh because of Song Miner's implication: "Farewell? Where are you going?"

"Father entrusted me to Master before he died. Now that he is gone, I can see it clearly after this experience. I don't want to fight for any more senior brothers and sisters, I don't want to learn how to fold flowers anymore, and be the most talkative girl on the twelfth floor." People with authority. But I... still don’t know what to do, and I am a little confused and no one can answer.”

Yu Zheng: "Do I have to go?"

Song Min'er shook her head: "This is my own business, and it has nothing to do with you. If I can't even understand my own existence, it's meaningless for me to live in the world. Naturally, you can let me continue to dominate on the twelfth floor , be my daughter, but if I don’t go out and have a look, I will never let it go in my life.”

Yu Zheng understood what she meant, and after thinking about it, he said: "You have already made up your mind on this matter, I can't say anything more. The world is dangerous, and no one will protect you from now on. You have to swallow all the pain yourself. Have you thought it through?"

Song Min'er said "hmm", and tightened her grip on the bamboo hat: "Senior brother, I will leave after sunrise. I will leave many matters on the [-]th floor to you, and you... take care too."

The night wind blew, and the east was turning white. Yu Zheng lowered his eyelids, untied something from his waist and handed it to Song Min'er, and said softly: "This tassel is an ornament on my knife. There is no need to be afraid, send someone back to Xixiu Mountain, and the master will protect you."

Song Min'er was not polite to him, she saluted slightly after taking it, then turned and left.

They used to be aggressive with each other and fought openly and covertly with each other every step of the way for several years, but miraculously they were able to get along peacefully after Zuo Nian's death.Now that both sides are hurting, it is impossible to talk about it. Before the end of the world, the two can still seriously say "there will be a period of time" to each other.

Good fortune tricks people, and they always like to put the ending of things in a different place from the beginning.

When the rooster sings, the world is white, and after the sun rises in the east, the first person Liu Shiqi sees is Feng Tingyun.

He held Liu Shiqi's luggage in his hand, put it on the table in his room, and said, "Everything is there, Du Xindan and the others haven't touched it, and I didn't let Zuo Nian know that it was on me at that time...you still Shall I look back at Tsukishima?"

As soon as those three words came out, Liu Shiqi remembered his purpose of coming to the Central Plains this time, pursed his lips and said, "Senior Brother Xie, he didn't come to Xixiu Mountain with you. We have been separated for more than three months. What happened, Senior Brother?" Tell me about it."

Feng Tingyun signaled him to dress neatly, there was still a long way from his residence to Xiyanzhai.When the two walked side by side, he succinctly told how they subdued Gong Qianying and Xuanhuang after they separated, how they traced all the way to Luzhou, received Yi Chunqiu's letter and released them, and finally told them how they split into two groups. Liu Shiqi.

After finishing his speech, Feng Tingyun straightened his sideways braids for him: "I sent a letter to Xing Zhou when I arrived at Xixiu Mountain, and I received a reply yesterday, saying that it is already possible that we will meet in Yuhang in two months' time. .”

The unexpected journey did not delay Yi Chunqiu's business, Liu Shiqi felt relieved.He also felt as if he should really leave at this moment, and there was no other reason to stay.

In the final analysis, to today's Xixiushan, he is just a passerby.

Walking outside Xiyanzhai, Yu Zhengxu guessed that they were leaving too, so he stood on the porch to greet them.He exchanged pleasantries with Feng Tingyun for a while, then pulled Liu Shiqi closer and said, "Thanks to everyone on the twelfth floor for taking care of me, my junior brother still has something to return."

Although Liu Shishi's thoughts were not here, he understood Feng Tingyun's meaning after hearing it for a while, took out an exquisite jade bottle from his own bag, handed it to Yu Zheng and said, "Du Xin Dan."

Yu Zheng didn't answer: "It's a disaster to keep this thing on the twelfth floor. I've read the "Heaven and Earth Cultivation Technique" brought back by Wendi, and the Duxin Pill is meaningless. It's better to obey what the sect master says first."

Of course Liu Shiqi knew what he was talking about, so he forced it to Yu Zheng: "It's even more useless for me to keep it."

Yu Zheng couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it and ask others to put it away. He looked behind Liu Shiqi and turned around to give them some space: "There is someone else who has something to say to you, let's talk about it."

He turned his head in surprise, and saw that the sun was getting brighter, and Wendi was standing in the courtyard, holding his long river knife.

Feng Tingyun knew from Di's expression that he and Liu Shiqi needed a good farewell. What's more, after hearing the shocking truth that day, Liu Shiqi chose not to touch him, but he had to take that relationship seriously.So Feng Tingyun pressed on Liu Shiqi's shoulder, and after saying "I'll wait for you with the horse", he took a step ahead.

In an instant, it seemed as if all the disciples on the twelfth floor had left. There was a large open space in front of Xiyanzhai, and fresh snow covered the soil and eaves. There was a faint figure between the sky and the earth, and Liu Shiqi couldn't take his eyes off it.

Wen Di did not have the hostility of that day, his brows and eyes were very clean, just like when they first met—maybe a little later, it was exactly the appearance in Liu Shiqi's memory.

He suddenly remembered that specious kiss, and his face flushed instantly.

"Are you leaving?" Wen Di asked.

Liu Shiqi was inexplicably flustered, so he had to nod his head slightly, blinking his eyes quickly, not knowing what to say.Many things came up at once, and he wanted to ask more than a few words, but he had no idea where to start.

Wen Di lifted his clothes and sat down on the steps in front of Xiyanzhai. Liu Shiqi thought about it and sat beside him.The man's profile was very sharp, washing away the warmth of his youth.Wendi's face is indifferent, only a pair of red phoenix eyes are very deep, people dare not look directly, for fear that he will grab all their minds.

He turned his head to Liu Shiqi and said, "Ask anything, you're gone today and don't know when we'll see each other again."

Now that it was mentioned, Liu Shiqi couldn't be coy and said, "What you said that day...is true? Brother Di, you know my parents, why didn't you tell me earlier."

In the past, he would always embarrass Wendi when he mentioned these lingoes, but today he said naturally: "I asked in Little Penglai, you can't accept that your mentor and enemy are the same person, why should I say it to make you sad? It's over, no one else will know what happened that day, Yu Zheng will take care of it, you don't have to worry about me."

Liu Shiqi: "I didn't mean that..."

Wen Di touched his ears, and his eyes became more and more beautiful: "Actually, it's nothing else, I just want you not to blame me."

Blame it, of course there are.Liu Shiqi probably didn't have the strength to argue with him at this juncture after a serious illness, and he himself felt that even if he knew earlier, the outcome would still not change.

He lowered his head, and said in a deep voice after a while, "Father and mother... what kind of people are they?"

Wen Di seemed to have guessed it, and after listening to it, he thought for a while and said: "The adoptive father's name is Ying, and the character is Laigui. What a blessed couple. Do you still remember that poem? After seventeen nights of rain, the lanterns are still not cold...Sorry, I lied to you."

Liu Shiqi: "Is this also related to parents?"

Wendi: "The song is a little tune that my mother hummed casually. Dad thought it was nice, so he filled in the lyrics and copied the score. When you were a child, you listened to it every day before going to bed. You learned this tune before you learned how to read."

He was four years older than Liu Shiqi, and he was adopted by the Liu family before he was born, so he remembered many things better than him.Thinking of this level, Liu Shiqi sighed secretly, no wonder Wendi's pain was deeper than his.

"... I heard from my father that they were too late to worship the Buddha one day. When they came out, they were already on the willow shoots. They picked me up at the gate of the Buddhist temple. I was only a baby. I was abandoned by my biological parents, so I was adopted in a moment of distress. Wendi sighed, and continued, "They treated me as their own, and gave me my current name, Liu Wendi. It's a pity that until now, everyone thinks my surname is Wen, and I can't tell them this."

Liu Shiqi: "Then... Brother Di, do you still remember my name?"

Mentioning this level, Wendi seemed to have thought of a very interesting past, touched Liu Shiqi's head, and said, "It's strange, it was raining in Chang'an before you were born, and after April [-]th, it cleared up. Dad thought the celestial phenomenon was weird, so he invited the Taoist priest of Ziyang Temple to do divination for you. Master Mu came to Chang'an in person, and after doing the fortune-telling, he said that you will have two catastrophes in this life. You should not be famous before you become an adult, otherwise you will cause disaster .”

Liu Shiqi: "..."

Wendi smiled deeply: "So, mother said that since she was born on April [-]th, her nickname should be Seventeen. I didn't come up with the name when I called you to leave that year. I just returned the nickname to you. I gave it to you."

After talking about it, he sank down again, with a lost face and said: "It would be great if they were still here."

The past is always cruel to the person who remembers it more deeply.

The more Liu Shiqi listened, the more disturbed he felt. For example, the endless "brother" when he heard the flute by the stream, and the hatred - he really didn't know if he had been told that Zuo Nian was murder. Father's enemy, will he remain rational? Now that he has not recovered, he has already had his revenge.

In the arena, the first and the first are irreconcilable, so Wendi solved it for him, without embarrassing him at all.

But what did Wendi think when he sent himself away?

"He cares about me." Thinking of this, Liu Shiqi couldn't help holding Wendi's hand, as if he could gain some support in this way, and said for a long time: "I don't blame you."

With his acknowledgment, Wen Di wasn't half happy. He heard a horse neighing outside the door, pulled Liu Shiqi up from the steps, and patted him on the back briskly: "Your senior brother is urging you, let's go, don't you?" We won’t be able to reach Xuanwu Town before sunset today, and the wilderness will be very dangerous.”

Liu Shiqi was pushed by him and stuffed the Changhe Knife in his hand again. Only then did he feel sour, and a soreness welled up in his eyes involuntarily.He moved his lips, but still said nothing.

"At first, I thought, now that you know everything, how do you think of yourself. I have always made decisions with a clear conscience, Seventeen, even if you hate me, it is a done deal." Wen Di paused, and Fu smiled at him again, "Now You don't blame me, you are really happy to be a brother. You... cherish it."

He couldn't go on talking, and without letting Liu Shiqi see his fragility, he turned his back and walked towards the inkstone washing room.

It was a short distance from Xiyanzhai to the martial arts arena on the twelfth floor. Feng Tingyun was waiting for him with his horse.Liu Shiqi glanced back, and suddenly said loudly: "Brother Di, if you want to see me, this year's Bailu Ye, Ersiqiao!"

He didn't wait for a response, but he knew that Wen Di must have kept it in his heart.

The back of the young man seemed to grow taller, he hurriedly led a horse, and Feng Tingyun walked back and forth through the dead branches and dense forests in the mountains, and soon disappeared.

Wen Di stood by the window, and someone behind him said: "You clearly don't want to part with him, why don't you keep him, or go with him?"

Without turning his head, he said: "He hasn't recovered yet, I'll give him time to be quiet. It's a big deal, and Shi Qi still understands the twists and turns, and when he thinks it through, he might hate me for not doing it." Let him make up his own mind."

What he didn't say was that he also needed time to find the support after his revenge.

Yu Zheng nodded, Wendi asked him again: "Have you thought about how to explain to everyone? Hand me over to take the blame?"

"No need." Yu Zheng said, "Although you and I are married, you are my junior brother, and I should protect you. The news of Master's death will spread to the Jianghu from tomorrow, and the two uncles have no objection. That day you There was a big fuss in Tingfangyuan, no one else knew about it, Miner left, and Shiqi also left, so that's how it is."

His tone was calm and his expression was calm, but Wen Di heard a hidden threat: "I naturally understand the seriousness."

Yu Zheng waved his hand and said: "You don't have to think that I'm profitable, the twelfth floor is a waste of money, you need to help me more. There is also that volume of "Heaven and Earth Kungfu", I have compared it with the old books in the library , many places do not understand its meaning.”

Hearing the flute, he remained silent and did not express his opinion on the matter.

"There is no need to rush for other things." Yu Zheng thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "Ah Di, I have seen your reactions in the past few days, including some before... Although it is redundant, I can't help but want to remind you. "

Wendi responded casually: "What's the matter?"

Yu Zheng: "I'm afraid you have more than brotherly affection for Shi Qi."

After finishing speaking, he showed a meaningful expression, and calmly brushed the saber at Wendi's waist, the lettering on it was clear.Yu Zheng glanced at him pointedly, then drifted away.

Wendi, who was left in Xiyanzhai, was hit by five thunders——

When he knew about Yu Zheng and Mo Ci, he did think of Liu Shiqi inexplicably several times.At that time, he didn't know what the other person would look like when he grew up, so he drew his facial features by himself, expressing his feelings without authorization.Then on the night of their reunion at the Linzi Night Market, all his longings turned into reality, making him almost cry.

Even if some thoughts occasionally flashed through my mind like flying feathers, I never had any more thoughts.Whether he loves Liu Shiqi or takes care of him, it is all based on "this is the only son of my adoptive parents".

Other than that, he didn't dare to think about it.

But if he was really open-minded, he wouldn't have taken advantage of Yu Zheng's affair with Mo Ci that day to secretly take away a kiss; And panic; if he only regarded the other party as a brother, without any extravagant thoughts, let alone...

When Liu Shiqi was seriously injured and was about to wake up, he watched from a distance, because he was afraid that he would be unable to restrain himself and make unethical behavior when he was close by.

He urgently needed a backbone, and after years of thinking and repeated torment, he discovered that from seven years ago, or even farther, everything he did was for Liu Shiqi.

The blood feud must be avenged, but he still has Liu Shiqi.

This day Yu Zheng mentioned it abruptly, and Wen Di gasped, because the cause and effect caused him to lose his five senses for a short time, and then froze on the spot, not daring to move.

It took a long time before he calmed down by pinching his own pulse.The inside and outside of the Xiyan Studio was empty, and the noise of disciples starting to practice martial arts could be faintly heard from the outside. Wen Di touched another roll of silk that was placed close to his body in his arms, and after a few breaths, he regained his sanity.

He stood up and walked outside, Qisi felt as if a big hole had been opened in his heart, and was blown bloody by the wind—it was a scar that had not been discovered for a long time, and Wendi thought it would heal.

The door of Liu Shiqi's residence was still open. As soon as Wen Difu stepped in, a ball of hair rolled from the low couch to the ground.He couldn't help but laugh, and bent over to pick up the rabbit: "He didn't take you away?"

The rabbit couldn't understand people's words, only knew that this person had wanted to eat him countless times, and his hind legs were thumping in fright.

Wen Di reluctantly put it in his arms, thought of a bad idea, and then walked outside.He caught a glimpse of someone's figure, and immediately called out affectionately: "A Ci, I'll give you something..."

The sky is bright, and the last remaining snow on Xixiu Mountain this year is almost melting in the early spring wind.

The author has something to say:

Cute pets are originally very loving, but.

Wen Di: I hate hair balls, take them away.
