Bright Moon and Cold Thousand Mountains

Zuo Nian, the head of the twelfth floor, was seriously injured when he was discovered due to the retrograde flow of his meridian. Three days later, Yaoshi died without medical treatment.The eldest disciple, Yu Zheng, succeeds the head of the sect, implements the orders of the head, abides by filial piety, and guards the mountain for Zuo Nian for one year.

The news quickly spread to all sects and sects in the Central Plains as if they had grown wings, causing an uproar.

Everyone knows that Zuo Nian was still in good health a few months ago, how could there be any signs of going crazy?But when one thinks that the previous heads of the twelfth floor all died inexplicably in their prime, there are traces of his death.

The teahouse was bustling with people, Liu Shiqi was sitting in a corner, with a bamboo hat covering half of his face, holding a teacup in his hand, eavesdropping on the chatting of a few people at the next table.

"The four masters are now only three. Hey, tell me, who else can take Zuo Nian's place?"

"Come on, it was all reviewed many years ago. This so-called master list has never been updated after Green Mountain Pavilion changed its head. Taoist Shi Shan avoided the world, and Duan Wuchi was not in the world after he became famous in the first battle. The Central Plains has appeared—in my opinion, there is only one Mr. Xi left who can be called a peerless master in this world!"

"Speaking of Mr. Xi, do you all know about the symposium? There was a young disciple on the twelfth floor who performed dozens of tricks on his hand! If Mr. Xi didn't let the water go... the young people are terrifying."

"There is also that kid who doesn't know who he is or what sect, he is really a young hero after receiving Mr. Xi's sword!"

The teacup was gently placed on the table, and when Liu Shiqi heard them say this, it seemed as if he had passed away.In just a few months, he has undergone two major changes.

Spring in the south of the Yangtze River came early. When they first entered Yuhang City, there was a light snowfall. Now that the snow had melted, the sky cleared up in a hurry.There are many chivalrous men here, most of them are armed with swords when walking on the road, the aftermath of the talk has not yet dissipated, there are not a few people chatting about these things in the teahouse, but Liu Shiqi has no time to listen.

A person walked in with wet snow, sat next to Liu Shiqi, took another teacup and sipped, and said in a low voice, "Xing Zhou didn't come, did he appear here before?"

Liu Shiqi shook his head.

Feng Tingyun deliberately chose to meet in this lively place, firstly because he was afraid that something would happen to Xie Xingzhou, they could escape in the chaos, and secondly, it was very close to the ferry, so they could catch the last boat to Suzhou after rendezvous.

After settling down, Feng Tingyun went to find Xie Xingzhou according to their previous habits, leaving Liu Shiqi to watch at the teahouse.He disappeared for about half an hour, but came back with such news.

Feng Tingyun clenched his fingers on the table: "It's strange, he never let me go, it's a big deal, and I definitely can't lose my temper at this moment... Could something really happen?"

Liu Shiqi heard about Xie Xingzhou's pursuit of Sheng Tianya, and just as he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of a person sitting at the door with a strange expression from the corner of his eye, and swallowed his words.He pretended to be silent, just let Feng Tingyun mutter a few words to himself, moved his seat calmly, and sat on the other side.

"No, he was fine when we came out of Xixiu Mountain. If I really find out that this man is a joke, he will be caught and beaten before kicking him into the East China Sea!"

He clasped the broken knife at his waist with one hand, and after drawing the knife, he could probably catch the man.Liu Shiqi watched the man's movements vigilantly from the corner of his eye, and perfunctorily said "hmm" to Feng Tingyun.

Just when Feng Tingyun said sadly "I'll go again" and was about to get up, the person at the door stood up first.He boasted that he had listened to the conversation without anyone noticing it, and he could retire, but before he could recover, a gust of wind suddenly blew in front of him——

It was too late to dodge, he felt that if his throat got cold, the iron attached to the vital part could be killed an inch forward, but he didn't even notice it before!

With a broken knife across his neck, the young man lifted his bamboo hat and said coldly, "How long have you been following my senior brother?"

He spoke in a low voice, but the light of the sword unsheathed shocked a group of people.The waiter wanted to come over to smooth things over but didn't dare, so he shrank behind the counter.

It is common to see people fighting here, and the tea guests all turned their eyes.Feng Tingyun, who realized the existence of this person a little later, was shocked, and he got up in disbelief: "Gong Qianying?!"

Liu Shiqi had never heard of this name, but Feng Tingyun's tone of voice could clearly tell that they knew each other.He felt that this person had malicious intentions, instead of withdrawing the knife, it pressed even tighter, cutting the skin around his neck, and immediately rolled out a string of blood beads.

"Hey, is this your little junior brother?" Gong Qianying said with a smile, "So fierce?"

"Shut up!" Feng Tingyun walked over a few steps and grabbed his front, the anger in his eyes almost became real.

The broken blade between them could easily hurt people, so Liu Shiqi hastily withdrew the knife.The next moment Feng Tingyun dragged him out with one hand, and he stood in the middle of the teahouse in a state of inhumanity, he could only sigh, and threw a few copper coins to the waiter for tea money, turned around and picked up the package, and chased after him.

There was a two-story old willow tree growing near the ferry. Feng Tingyun grabbed the man and pressed him against the wall of the restaurant. He said viciously, "Where is the boat?! What did you do to him?"

Gong Qianying caught a glimpse of Liu Shiqi who was rushing over, without any panic about being threatened, and said with a playful smile: "I thought you liked the new and hated the old, and you forgot the one you picked up when you had a junior brother. Why, care about him?"

Feng Tingyun put away all the racks he usually held, and slammed Gong Qianying's lower abdomen with the hilt of his sword. After hearing him let out an unbearable muffled grunt, he said, "What do you mean, I don't know if I want your life!"

"Don't worry." Gong Qianying was sweating profusely from the pain, and still managed to calm down, "At least Xie Xingzhou's life would not be in danger if it fell into our hands. Master has always treated him favorably, don't you know that?"

Feng Tingyun raised his eyebrows coldly and said, "Sheng Tianya has already obtained the "Book of Biluotian", what's the use of keeping him? I spent a lot of money to buy the news of your master and apprentice from the Green Mountain Pavilion, and I didn't give it away for nothing. .”

Gong Qianying rolled her eyes: "You can decide whether to stay or not."

Liu Shiqi listened to all the conversations.As far as he knows, Wang Qian'an's "Book of Bi Luo Tian" is rumored to be divided into two parts, half of which is in "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi", and the other half... said to be taken away by Wang Qian'an's young disciple, but actually lost contact with that person. Unknown.

The implication is that Sheng Tianya has already found it?

He was distracted for a moment, and Feng Tingyun's hand holding Gong Qianying's front was suddenly twisted away by the other side, and then Gong Qianying turned sideways, and only borrowed strength from the wall of the restaurant, and jumped onto the roof lightly, leaving only The voice echoed lightly:

"If you want Xie Xingzhou to survive, Zishi Dukou and others tonight—"

Feng Tingyun didn't really intend to do anything to him, twisted his sprained wrist, turned around and saw Liu Shiqi still standing there, and gave him a wink: "Find an inn to stay, we can't leave today gone."

Liu Shiqi didn't ask any more questions, and followed Feng Tingyun with his knife in hand.

He took two steps, and a gust of wind blew behind him.Liu Shiqi turned his head to look strangely, but he didn't see anyone.

Others might not take this little episode seriously. When Liu Shiqi passed by Xixiu Mountain, he became extremely sensitive to the rumors, so he looked at it a few more times in a daze.Unexpectedly, at this glance, he really discovered the clue.

A black shadow landed in the grass a few feet away, and then ran to the distance.Liu Shiqi's heart tightened, before he was allowed to think about it, he had already chased him out: "Who is it?! Please wait-"

The man in black had a very high lightness kung fu, Liu Shiqi felt that his figure was familiar, and he was so slender that he didn't look like a man, so he hurriedly chased him out.He was afraid that he was a knight he knew, so he didn't dare to use the concealed weapon directly, so he stuck to the man's back and ran for two miles. The two of them stopped at the edge of a barren field outside Yuhang city.

The man in black turned his head, took off his mask straight away, and said a woman's voice: "Stop chasing, Senior Brother Liu!"

Liu Shiqi was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise, "You...you are the junior sister next to Brother Di, called..."

"Lingxi." She replied quietly, and then did not allow Liu Shiqi to ask any more questions, and immediately explained the purpose of coming, "He sent me a letter saying that you are going to Yuhang, and asked me to take care of it."

Liu Shiqi suddenly heard Wendi's name, blinked his eyelashes quickly: "Is that so?"

Lingxi said: "Farewell to Linzi, I'm now working for the Green Mountain Pavilion. Just now in the teahouse, I saw your senior brother and that... that young master had an argument, so I hurried out to have a look."

Liu Shiqi: "Is that all? Then...you can tell Brother Di that I'm fine."

Lingxi pursed her lips and smiled: "Of course I can understand—by the way, if you show this to Brother Feng, just say it's a cheap favor that Mrs. Li saw him as being handsome!"

Before she finished speaking, she threw a kit over, Liu Shiqi hurriedly went to pick it up, grasped the soft bag tightly, and when she raised her head again, there was no shadow of consonance in front of her.

Liu Shiqi ran into Feng Tingyun not long after walking back. He didn't say anything, and just handed him the kit.Feng Tingyun was full of anxiety and disappeared when he saw an orchid on the kit. He glanced at the direction where the woman in black had left, and understood her identity. He frowned and did not avoid suspicion. Liu Shiqi opened it.

And Liu Shiqisheng was afraid of missing something, so he added: "Miss Lingxi said, this is a gift from Mrs. Li because she saw that you are handsome."

Feng Tingyun: "..."

"Of course I know." After he finished speaking boldly, two fingers brought out a three-inch roll of letter paper.Feng Tingyun removed the delicate red string on it, and when it was unfolded, both sides of the letter paper were slightly curled, and in the middle was written in small script with hairpin flowers.

Liu Shiqi picked up the woman's handwriting, thinking it was some girl who passed on the letter to his senior brother Hongyan.After seeing the content clearly, he hesitated and said "Hey": "What do you mean?"

Feng Tingyun, who is usually a bit of a teacher, didn't answer this time. He read it a few times silently, then put the letter into his sleeve, and slapped the bag on Liu Shiqi's palm casually: "Nonsense!"

The square inch of the letter paper is only enough to write a line of words - disaster will rise to the wall, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Liu Shiqi had a kit in his pocket, and had already thought a lot about it in a short period of time: Is the first half of the sentence talking about the entanglement between Sheng Tianya and Wangyue Island?But they all know.Could it be that it wasn't Sheng Tianya, but someone else?Now Wangyue Island is left alone in Yi Chunqiu, he and Feng Tingyun are always together, other than that... only...

"Brother." Liu Shiqi frowned, "Does this note mean—"

"Impossible." When the name was about to come out, Feng Tingyun abruptly interrupted Liu Shiqi's continuation, "I know who Xie Xingzhou is better than you. What can he do with his brain that lacks a string? Is it a matter of deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors?"

Liu Shiqi: "..."

Feng Tingyun realized that his tone was offensive, and added: "The news of the Green Mountain Pavilion has always been half-hidden and half-revealed, and what they say cannot be trusted. Whether there is a ghost in the boat, we will know when we go tonight, you say Is it?"

Liu Shiqi thought for a moment, and said, "I also hope that senior brother will not act emotionally."

When others heard this, they couldn't help but feel that it was too cold-blooded. He even threw a basin of ice water over Feng Tingyun, so he calmed down instead.

He held down his pulse, feeling that it was beating too fast just now: "Thank you." After finishing speaking, Feng Tingyun stopped repeating, sighed and turned towards the direction of Yuhang City, beckoning Liu Shiqi to follow.

The grass marks behind him overlapped, and it looked chaotic for a while.

At three o'clock, the moon is white and the wind is clear.

Liu Shiqi did not go with Feng Tingyun, there were already two or three figures under the old willow tree at the agreed ferry crossing, he saw them from a distance, and he jumped onto the wooden box in the nearest ferry warehouse , covered the figure with layers of shadows.

After the two returned to the inn from outside the city and settled down, they had a discussion. Liu Shiqi suggested that they should not go with them when they went to the appointment at night, and leave someone to take care of them secretly not far away, so as not to be unable to deal with any incidents. When Xie Xingzhou appeared, as long as Sheng Tianya was not present, They were sure that eight people would be robbed.At that time, everyone will be in hand, and Gong Qianying will not be able to catch up with the boat if he grabs the ferry.

He spoke clearly and logically, Feng Tingyun thought about it, and agreed.

Liu Shiqiao lowered his body and walked around to make sure that no one else could hide him anymore. Did Sheng Tianya come?

There was a confrontation between the two sides in that room, Feng Tingyun raised his sword and walked under the tree, glanced roughly, and found that Xie Xingzhou was not among them.He couldn't help frowning deeply: "Where is the boat?"

Diao Erlang, who was sitting on the top of a black-covered boat, Gong Qianying grinned, and said with great joy, "Hey, I didn't say I'd give him to you when you came. He's fine now, with no missing arms or legs. Why? , miss him?"

Feng Tingyun remained unmoved, and said calmly: "Tell me, what is the matter."

After hearing this, Gong Qianying jumped down lightly, stopped in front of him, and frivolously raised her hand to rub Feng Tingyun's face: "Tingyun, there are not many people with brains and courage, that's why I like you so much. "

Feng Tingyun's disgust flashed by, and just as he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly fell on a person who had been silent for a long time: this person was dressed in dark clothes and kept his head buried in silence. It is a solid body, the habit of practicing martial arts for a long time made his shoulders shrink slightly, and further down, the little finger of one hand is missing a knuckle.

Sheng Tianya used to be playful when he was young, and one day he accidentally knocked over the strong corrosive medicine while playing with Wang Qian'an's medicine pot. Since then, his right little finger has become dull and crippled - not many people know about this.

"Don't act emotionally." Liu Shiqi's words were still echoing in his ears, Feng Tingyun closed his eyes, thinking: "...Is it just saying you can't? I can't do it."

I can't leave him alone, even if I try hard, I still have to get his whereabouts.

Seeing that he was silent, Gong Qianying thought he was cowardly, and just about to speak, a cold light flashed in front of her eyes!

The Xichen Sword suddenly came out of its sheath, and drew a semicircle within a short distance, until the point of the sword reached the hunchbacked man beside him.At the same time, Feng Tingyun raised his left hand, and several hidden weapons scattered away. Gong Qianying hurriedly dodged, he turned to the side, and was pulled away from the man. He didn't expect Feng Tingyun to dare to be alone ...

Wait, alone? !

Feng Tingyun was already wrestling with the black-clothed man in that room, only then did Gong Qianying realize that he had made the same mistake as Xuanhuang before, and hurriedly looked around, flicking the whip at his side.When he turned his head, a knife suddenly crossed the stabbing.

"excuse me!"

The clear voice poured down like the moonlight above the head. The owner of the knife had a pair of eyes that were extremely bright even in the dark and lips as sharp as a blade. He swiped half a circle with one hand, and then hit Gong Qianying in the back of the heart.

Gong Qianying dodged subconsciously, and the short dagger was drawn out, holding the broken knife——

Liu Shiqi was nimble, and if he missed a hit, he immediately retreated, avoiding his whip.Lifting the long knife back and inserting it into the scabbard behind him, he paused for a moment, with an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth: "Please enlighten me."

Then he directly killed him with a pair of fleshy palms.

Gong Qianying originally thought that he was Yi Chunqiu's young disciple, but he had only been a disciple of Yi Chunqiu for a few years, and even his stature was like that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, so he didn't pay much attention to Liu Shiqiu.But his long whip was grabbed by Liu Shiqi with one hand, and he pulled hard again, and then his right shoulder hurt, and he was hit by him without seeing the opponent's move clearly...

"How is that possible!" Gong Qianying gritted her teeth and discarded the long whip, taking advantage of Liu Shiqi's unsteady center of gravity and immediately slapped him!

That palm was also formed from Liuyang Palm, which was improved by Sheng Tianya. He claimed that there would not be more than five people in this world who could catch it for the first time.Unexpectedly, he didn't allow him to be complacent, Liu Shiqi blocked it straight away, his palms pressed against each other, and his internal force collided violently.

He underestimated Liu Shiqi too much, the opponent's internal strength was far above his!

Liu Shiqi still had time to glance at Feng Tingyun's side distractedly. He didn't agree with Feng Tingyun's impulsiveness, and he didn't understand why the other party made a move suddenly, but he couldn't ignore it.

Seeing Feng Tingyun being pressed by Sheng Tianya at this moment, Liu Shiqi drew out his long knife with his backhand, avoiding Gong Qianying and facing that side.

Gong Qianying immediately shouted without thinking: "Master, be careful! This kid is not simple!"

Before he finished speaking, the blade had already reached him. Sheng Tianya snorted softly, flipped his palm, narrowly brushed past the blade, grabbed Liu Shiqi's right wrist, and twisted it viciously—infuse three points of true energy, Liu Shiqi Suddenly he felt a scalding force going retrograde along his meridians, and he withdrew the knife first in shock.

And Feng Tingyun was about to be overwhelmed, Beiming's sword skills were in a mess, Sheng Tianya slapped out again, and said coldly: "Triangle Cat Kung Fu, you really lose your master!"

"Didn't you... get the "Bi Luo Tian Shu"? Why..."

Sheng Tianya snorted, "You think it's as simple as wanting the cheats? As long as you want the cheats, why should I take the risk to meet you this time? You and Yi Chunqiu are too naive!"

Liu Shiqi picked up the knife and went up again, suddenly caught a glimpse of the black-covered boat beside him, and said to himself, "Since Brother Xie is not there, the man said that he is not in danger, so we have to go first. Otherwise, if this continues, I will On the contrary, Brother Feng..."

He dodged to the side, waved away the other two followers, and said to Feng Tingyun: "Brother, let's go first!"

Feng Tingyun instantly understood his intentions, but he stabbed out with the sword unwillingly, and when he missed again, his expression twisted for a moment, and he finally ran towards Liu Shiqi.

Liu Shiqi cooperated with him tacitly, and all the short knives in his sleeves were struck together, blocking Sheng Tianya's footwork and delaying Feng Tingyun for a moment.His long knife cut off the cable, and he stood on the board of the ferry, holding the boat that was about to go down the river with one hand, and kept his eyes on Sheng Tianya——

Feng Tingyun threw himself on the deck in embarrassment, and Liu Shiqi immediately let go.

The water flow at the ferry was originally gentle, but it didn't flow after the high tide at night, but it was a little more turbulent.The black-covered boat was swaying, and it was about to follow the trend to the east.Feng Tingyun got up and held the side of the boat, panicking: "Seventeen, the current is too fast, you come up!"

"Come here!" Liu Shiqi swung his sword, forcing Sheng Tianya back.

The opponent didn't give up immediately, and probably knew that if he missed this opportunity, he would stand still. He paused for a while, and immediately hit Liu Shiqi's life and death orifice three inches below the dantian again with luck.

The orifice of life and death is the secret of "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi" which is different from other schools of practice, and others will never know it.Only by killing each other from the same family can we be pushed to the desperation again and again.

The opposite was Liu Shiqi. He didn't know the depth of Sheng Tianya, and he didn't dare to take it as abruptly as he did in Xixiu Mountain that day, so he had to avoid it.He flashed sideways, a strand of long hair hanging down from the crown was cut off by the palm wind, and his eyes widened immediately.

After half of the slap failed, Sheng Tianya slapped Liu Shiqi sideways without any hesitation.

Liuyang Palm takes the initiative with tranquility, once a move is made, it will not turn back halfway.But Sheng Tianya was able to do the opposite——

Liu Shiqi had no choice but to accept the move. He stepped back half a step, and when the long knife caught his sharp palm, his whole body was shaken by his scorching pressure so that the soles of his feet sank into the wood.

This implying internal force, the small town in the south of the Yangtze River cannot withstand the stimulation of the precarious wooden boards, and a big hole will be broken in an instant!

"Seventeen, we can't delay any longer!" Feng Tingyun yelled sharply while blocking Gong Qianying's hidden weapon with his long sword.

Liu Shiqi thought to himself that I knew it, but the oppressive force was too strong for him to get rid of immediately.Turning his eyes, Liu Shiqi suddenly looked down at the cargo box at his feet, lowered his body for a moment, and then lifted the cargo box to Sheng Tianya with one foot.

Anyone with a physical body is unwilling to be hit by a heavy wooden box, Sheng Tianya really withdrew his palm as he thought.Liu Shiqi was overjoyed, and quickly kicked sideways on the ship's side, pulling away a distance of more than ten feet, and then lightly wanted to jump up——

He was suddenly caught behind him!

Immediately afterwards, that force led him to push aside.

Liu Shiqi couldn't dodge in time, his center of gravity lost his balance, and he was pushed headfirst into the water.He didn't know water skills, and he was naturally afraid of rivers and seas. He jumped back and forth a few times, and his body seemed unable to exert his strength. The oppressive feeling was accompanied by the long river knife on his back, which kept pressing down forcibly, forcing him to stop struggling and drift with the current. , falling deeper and deeper.

In his field of vision, the moonlight was indifferent, and Feng Tingyun's expression went from surprise to astonishment, and finally became blurred.

The sky was split into several pieces and kept swaying, and the water surged up. He coughed heavily, but the pain in his throat became more and more uncomfortable.After a moment of clear memory, Liu Shiqi thought wildly, "Am I drowning?..."

In the end, all he remembered was a white dress, a boat with a black awning, endless river water and swords and swords.

"I thought you couldn't do it, I've been watching for so long." Gong Qianying climbed up the shoulders of the people around her with a playful smile, her tone could not be said to be teasing or taunting, "How does it feel to push a junior who is afraid of water into the river with your own hands? Get rid of the boat."

He took Gong Qianying's hand away, his handsome face was expressionless, but the expression in his eyes was very complicated.

Gong Qianying was not annoyed, she ran to Sheng Tianya and said, "Master, now Feng Tingyun has run away, what should I do?"

Sheng Tianya rubbed his wrist. It's not that he was injured, but that he was not used to fighting with real swords and guns after a long time.He looked at Xie Xingzhou, then at the boat going along the water, and showed a miserly smile:

"Zuo Yi Chunqiu can do nothing by herself. Of her three apprentices, one drowned and died, and the other surrendered to me for the time being. Feng Tingyun's sick son is not even qualified to practice Liuyang palm. I have no scruples. Now that the time and place are right, The revival of the sect is here. Qianying, take a trip to Linzi for me and tell Xi Lanyu that it is his turn to fulfill his promise."

Gong Qianying's eyes became more and more beautiful: "Yes, Mr. Xi will return that thing, and I will congratulate Master in advance for your success."

When they said these words, they didn't deliberately avoid them, and Xie Xingzhou vaguely caught something after listening to them all.He stood by the edge of the ferry, his eyes were on the wooden plank that was almost shattered just now, and the ripples swayed round and round.

His eyes were deep, and he kept staring at the place where Liu Shiqi sank into the water just now.

Calm will be restored soon.

The author has something to say:

Why did brother Xie suddenly betray the water, let’s listen to the following text to break it down→_→
