Bright Moon and Cold Thousand Mountains

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, the decent families gathered in Huaiyin, even if they didn't kill the Shuiyue Palace ruins to ask Sheng Tianya for an explanation, they messed up first.

Zhao Yang's words seemed to "just in time" remind everyone that Zuo Nian died suddenly and inexplicably that day, and the last time he appeared before his death happened to be in the Beichuan Academy in Linzi.At that time, the scene was chaotic, the left head was suspected to be insane, entangled with a young disciple who had already run away in the door, and traced back to the source——

There have long been rumors in the rivers and lakes that the flower-folding hand is a unique kung fu handed down from generation to generation by the head of the twelfth floor, so naturally it has its power and its shortcomings.What is the opportunity for Zuo Nian to practice, and where did the inner demons come from?

Someone claimed to be a disciple on the twelfth floor who revealed that Zuo Nian's wife and children were tortured and killed by unknown people when he was young.Hearing this news, some knights scoffed, thinking that Zuo Nian himself was not firm enough, but the hatred of killing relatives cannot be easily forgiven.

But who did it?

Then there is no news.

"So, the death of the left head's wife and children is related to Xi Lanyu?!"

"Don't talk nonsense... groundless things—"

"But Master Zhao dared to bring up the past in public, so there must be a clue..."

"Ahem, I said earlier that Zuo Nian died strangely!"

Zhao Yang was in the center of the public opinion, and when everyone calmed down all the speculations, he suddenly took out a piece of old paper from his arms, looked at Xi Lanyu, and said aggressively: "Back then, I found it in a small courtyard in Xuanwu Town, and bought it with money. By order, the hired Baihutang assassin will force Zuo Nian to practice with all his strength, which will eventually lead him to go mad——Mr. Xi, is this handwriting yours!"

Xi Lanyu's eyes widened, he opened his mouth, his voice trembling: "You...this...give it to me!"

Zhao Yang snorted coldly, but instead held the letter to his heart: "I don't dare! If Fang approached, Mr. Xi would stab me with a sword, so what?"

"Zhao Yang!" Xi Lanyu roared, "You're bloody and you refuse to give evidence! Don't tell me you just let it go?!"

Just as the stalemate was on the spot, another leader of the Beichuan Academy suddenly said: "Senior brother and Master Zhao are trustworthy, why don't you let me inspect it for you. Senior brother and I grew up together, how is his character? I am no stranger to you, too rigid and easy to break, you will inevitably offend a villain—I know the name of senior brother."

But it was Shang Zihuai.

As soon as he spoke, he immediately softened the situation, and everyone whispered to each other, thinking that this was a solution.Xi Lanyu's face softened a little, she was very grateful to Shang Zihuai for coming forward at this moment: "If that's the case, I will trouble my junior brother."

Although he was speaking, his hand was still on the gentleman's scabbard and never let go.

Shang Zihuai nodded slightly, walked towards Zhao Yang, spread his hand to signal the other party to hand over the letterhead.Perhaps Zhao Yang could trust him, but everyone knew that Shang Zi could not grasp Xi Lanyu's eyes and ears, so he just stretched out his hand, but then hastily withdrew it: "This is impossible, you two are from the same school, everyone will believe what you say! "

Shang Zihuai smiled instead of anger, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, there is no way to solve it for a while, and everyone is waiting here. Otherwise, we will do whatever Master Zhao wants to do, okay? "

He spoke differently from Xi Lanyu, always with a bit of slow elegance, enough to soothe anger.Zhao Yang thought about it, until the letter was crumpled, and then he said slowly: "Forget it, you are the head teacher of the Beichuan School, I believe you will not be selfish."

"Thank you." Shang Zihuai said calmly.

A letter weighed over a thousand catties at this time, and everyone stretched their necks to look at it, as if the scale of the situation was tilting towards Xi Lanyu from then on.

Just a few lines, or a fragment of a scroll, how much time can it take?But Shang Zihuai looked and looked, but his brows were deeply furrowed.

It wasn't until all the chivalrous men couldn't help themselves, and asked whether Master Shang was optimistic or not, then Shang Zihuai raised his head, but didn't look at the crowd, and looked at Xi Lanyu, his face condensed like frost: "Senior brother .”

Xi Lanyu's heart skipped a beat, "What's the matter?"

Shang Zihuai: "Did you really do that?!"

He actually brought anger!

When this statement came out, everyone was lost.

Before Xi Lanyu could express his opinion, Shang Zihuai handed the note in front of him with unprecedented indignation: "Senior brother! I have always respected you, but why...why did you write these things? You can't fool anyone with yourself ...Knowing that Brother Zuo and I are Jinlan's friends, I...Senior brother, is it you!"

The already weak and arrogant person was wronged for a long time, and finally thought that he had been proved innocent, but the trusted junior said such words!

Xi Lanyu was criticized for no reason, and she was so angry that she slapped Shang Zihuai with a palm: "No!"

Shang Zihuai took the palm firmly: "Then tell me who wrote this?!"

A sternness flashed in Xi Lanyu's eyes, he stared at Zhao Yang, said without speaking for a long time, gritted his teeth, "Zhao Yang, I treated you well. Who helped you get rid of Xu Changtian back then, you—"

"Xu Changtian?!" Yu Zheng shouted involuntarily.

That was a big case before the symposium, a dozen lives were lost overnight, and the twelfth floor was splashed with dirty water!

The clean voice of the young man attracted everyone's attention, and turned against Yingtian, as if all the truths were connected in series at that time - secretly communicated with the Huashan faction, swallowed "Bi Luo Tian Shu", bought murderous Zuo Nian's wife and children , forcing the former head of the twelfth floor to devote himself to revenge and eventually died...

Yu Zheng drew his blade out of its sheath, and let out a clang: "The case of Xu Changtian, the revenge of the family teacher! What else can Beichuan Academy have to say!"

Duan Wuchi did not hesitate to chime in: "I thought the leader of the Central Plains was some kind of high-spirited fairy, but I didn't want the methods behind his back to be even worse than ours in the southern barbarian land!"

Words seemed to turn into invisible sharp blades, and Xi Lanyu felt a dull pain in his chest. The veins in his hand holding the scabbard tensed up. Seeing the situation, Shang Zihuai hurriedly stopped him: "Senior brother! If you have something to say, explain it!"

...It was too late.

"Zhao Yang, you framed me! Today, Xi will definitely ask you for an explanation!" Xi Lanyu shouted angrily, and the Junzi sword came out of its sheath like snow covering the sun, and immediately stabbed at Zhao Yang!

Time seemed to freeze for a moment, and the sky suddenly began to rain.

Zhao Yang stared at the stabbing sword's edge in disbelief, he hesitated to speak, a thread of blood dripped slowly from his mouth.

The next moment, he fell straight on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

And Xi Lanyu stood where she was, with an extremely surprised expression.

His sword edge was clearly still a foot away from Zhao Yang, how could he die suddenly? !

"Okay!" Someone among the knights said maliciously, "Mr. Xi is really handsome, he has reached the stage of perfection, and even the sword energy can kill people—"

A crisp sound broke the silence, and Shang Zihuai reached out to pull Xi Lanyu's sleeve: "Senior brother, no!"

The person in charge of the Beichuan School seemed to be awakened by the roar of internal energy for a moment. His Junzi sword rested on the neck of the person who had just uttered nonsense just now. There was a bloodstain cut on the side of his neck, Xi Lanyu could instantly make his blood splatter on the spot with any effort!

There was a dead silence in the arena, and someone whispered something in a low voice, and was quickly suppressed by the surrounding companions.Shang Zihuai was holding a piece of rag in his hand, looking directly at Xi Lanyu with a burning gaze.

"Brother." He repeated again, "Don't do anything irreversible."

Xi Lanyu suddenly smiled: "Irreversible? You tell me, now that it has become like this, for the sake of the overall situation, Beichuan Academy still needs to keep a public enemy of the martial arts?"

As soon as the words fell, the sword edge returned to the scabbard as quickly as a bolt of lightning. Xi Lanyu stood in the middle, his clothes were splashed with Zhao Yang's blood, he looked around the scene, and his last eyes fixed on Shang Zihuai indifferently.

He sighed, as if recalling the long past: "Okay, Junior Brother, you are fine."

Shang Zihuai took a step back: "I don't know what brother is talking about..."

"I figured it out... At that time...you don't believe it, well, it's very good, I did everything, so you can rest easy? Then I became this heinous person-haha, hahaha!" He Looking up to the sky and laughing, he suddenly retracted under the eyes of everyone who didn't understand, and slapped the air with his palm, smashing the trunk of the century-old tree with his inner strength, bringing up a piece of debris, "Today's revenge, Xi Lanyu will definitely ask everyone in this life Back!"

After leaving this sentence, he suddenly jumped up, stepped on a boulder to borrow his strength, and disappeared behind the rainy and foggy Shuiyue Palace after a few ups and downs.

A good show is coming to an end, Xi Lanyu is nowhere to be seen, Shang Zihuai seems to be still in shock, and the crowd on the [-]th floor is excited, wanting to ask Beichuan Academy for an explanation, the rest of the people are sighing and sighing, and there are also yin and yang weirdness.In the end, it was Shen Baifeng from Miaoyin Pavilion who calmed down everyone's mood and signaled to return to the inn for a long stay.

"What a long day to come." Behind the tree not far away, Liu Shiqi saw the whole situation and snorted coldly, "But Brother Di, just now they said that the "Book of Biluotian" is in Sheng Tianya's hands...how did you know?"

Wen Di was grabbing a strand of her hair and braiding it without distraction, and said indifferently after listening to it: "Who else can do it, but direct and act on their own, or just sing and sing together, it's not a big deal. Can they know the meaning of "Bi Luo Tian Shu"?" Truth, I'll screw my head off and kick it for you."

Liu Shiqi showed a disgusted expression: "I don't play that."

Wen Di smiled, the tails of his phoenix eyes slightly raised, he let go of the strand of hair, and patted Liu Shiqi's face casually: "They thought it was with Sheng Tianya, so let's be with Sheng Tianya."

Liu Shiqi was puzzled and said, "But it clearly—"

Wen Di: "Let's do what we can. Xi Lanyu is going to a forest in the southwest. He won't let it go so easily, and he will definitely have a plan. Those who stay are also strange. Why don't we split up into two groups and look at each other."

Liu Shiqi rubbed the place where he had a little dust mark: "How to divide?"

Wendi said: "You go to Yu Zheng, he will explain the specific things to you, and the road ahead is actually very clear. Although we are in the dark, we can see every step clearly."

Liu Shiqi frowned: "Brother Di, you always say half swallow half, I'm too lazy to guess, so can't you explain clearly at once?"

"Why don't you say that you are lazy sometimes, you don't even want to use your brain, and you insist on chewing it up and feeding it into your mouth—" Seeing that Liu Shiqi started to disgust him again, Wendi spread his hands and cut off the inappropriate The metaphor, "Nowadays those decent people are in a mess, who can benefit the most? You don't fight for their interests, so beware of backstabbing."

Liu Shiqi didn't speak, and lowered his eyes to think. A moment later, he was about to have an epiphany when he was slapped on the back of the head by Wendi again: "Haven't you figured out the most strange thing about Zhao Yang just now? It's impossible that he really Killed by sword energy?"

He hated iron for being weak and made a point, and Liu Shiqi finally said "Ah!": "A note!"

Before that, they made a special trip to visit Beichuan Academy, had a long conversation with Shang Zihuai, and managed to get a few words out of his mouth in the name of avenging their teacher's shame.That note had been passed under Wendi's nose once before, and every point was as clear as if it was written yesterday. The word "Ningzhou" that he said in his own mouth was definitely from Xi Lanyu's hand.

Such an important thing, if it can see the light of day again, is enough to overthrow everything that Xi Lanyu has painstakingly managed, how can he easily fall into Zhao Yang's hands?

What's more, no one knows the inside story about Zuo Nian's wife and children. At this juncture, it was suddenly spread in superfluous ways. Can ordinary people spread rumors so easily?

"...It's him?" Liu Shiqi muttered, "But isn't he afraid of Xi Lanyu?"

Wen Di didn't comment and just kept silent. He and Liu Shiqi looked at each other for a long time, and finally patted him on the shoulder: "Go."

Liu Shiqi asked, "Then where are you going?"

Wendi glanced at him helplessly: "I have my place, don't worry."

After saying that, he turned around and left. Liu Shiqi looked at the place where Wendi left, only to feel that he had finally found a clue, but he became confused again.He was probably not born smart in terms of worldly affairs, like Wendi and Feng Tingyun, so he simply stopped looking for troubles and went to the inn according to what Wendi said.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the night in Huaiyin is cold, perhaps because the blood from many years ago has not been scattered, and the ghosts linger, and the yin is heavy.The inn where all the knights of the rivers and lakes lived temporarily settled here. There were many people, and it was very lively at night.

Liu Shiqi walked into one of the inns with dew on his shoulders. He stood in the middle of the lobby and looked around.At this time, most of the people who have not yet returned to their rooms are disciples of small sects, talking about the accident during the day in small groups. There are no more than two types of people, one still believes in Xi Lanyu, while the other is putting on a bad attitude The ugly face of "I knew he had a problem", as if he was there that day, knowing those little-known details.

He sneered, ignored these people, and went to find the disciples on the twelfth floor.Liu Shiqi turned upstairs, and suddenly saw a person in white shirt at the end of the corridor, leaning on the railing, looking at the lobby ecstatically.

Yu Zheng noticed the movement of him going upstairs but didn't look at him, he only asked after Liu Shiqi approached, "Did Wendi go after Xi Lanyu?"

"He didn't say it, but it shouldn't be." Liu Shiqi said, "He told me he came to see you, so there must be other arrangements. Zhao Yang died strangely today, is there anyone doing an autopsy?"

Unexpectedly, he would take the initiative to ask these things, Yu Zheng gave him a slightly surprised look, and then said: "Mr. Shen invited the doctor in Miaoyin Pavilion to have an examination. Zhao Yang has no sword wounds on his body, and died of poison. Asked I joined the Huashan School, but Huang Yuanyi said that the head of his family could not have used strange food or drinks, so I have no clue now."

Liu Shiqi: "Has he met anyone? What kind of poison is it?"

Yu Zheng shook his head: "Huang Yuanyi didn't say anything, and left with Zhao Yang's body. I didn't have a chance to take a look, otherwise I would be able to identify the species. If you look at it from a distance during the day, his eyes are blue, and the gaps between his fingers are blue. There seems to be black blood around the mouth, if the guess is correct, it looks a bit like the scorpion poison of the Moon Worship Sect."

Surprised, Liu Shiqi desperately lowered his voice: "Worshiping the Moon?!"

"More than [-] years ago, the head of the twelfth floor let go of the remnants of the Moon Worship Sect. This matter was criticized by the whole world. Later, the head of the twelfth floor found in the library that the twelfth floor used poison and Gu for the Moon Worship Sect. It’s actually a lot of research, I have come into contact with those books when I was refining medicine for the master. I think I am proficient in this way, and I can’t be wrong.” Yu Zheng sighed, “It’s a pity that they walked too fast, if I let them go If you look carefully, you will be able to identify the clue."

Liu Shiqidao: "Right now someone accuses Xi Lanyu of wanting to swallow the "Book of Bi Luo Tian" alone, if you see the poison of the Moon Worship Sect, wouldn't they have more to say—"

It just hinted that Xi Lanyu and Sheng Tianya were in cahoots, and the killing of Shuiyue Palace this time was just a hit-and-miss drama.

Yu Zheng's eyes flickered: "I know, so I didn't have to look."

In the past, Liu Shiqi would inevitably ask why, but he just thought about it today, and he came to his senses: "It turns out that this is the case, Senior Brother Yu, you definitely don't want them to take advantage of this and force Xi Lanyu Too tight."

"Everything should be balanced." Yu Zheng seldom explained to others, but he seemed to be more patient with Liu Shiqi, "Besides, I don't have any definite news or evidence that Xi Lanyu really had a relationship with that person. Entanglements. There are too many mysteries about him, and there is no real answer to Master's feud with his wife and children. I don't want them to chase after them in a moment of anger and cause even greater bitterness."

Liu Shiqi nodded, and said again: "Such rhetoric is almost what Brother Di thinks."

Yu Zheng smiled very lightly when he heard the words: "He naturally has a way. I asked you to come to me, and I discussed it early in the morning. Tonight, I will go to the forest in the southwest, and you can follow."

Liu Shiqi was puzzled, "What are you doing there?"

This time Yu Zheng didn't answer, he just took the knife, turned around and went back to the room.The debate downstairs became more and more heated, and a fight was about to start, but the waiter didn't dare to persuade him, so he shrank in the corner of the lobby in fear. Liu Shiqi watched it boringly for a while, and secretly disliked it, thinking that these people were really funny .

Seeing that it was raining again at night outside, he found a table in the lobby and sat down, ordered a jug of wine and half a catty of beef, and waited quietly for midnight to come.

After a while, the people in the rivers and lakes gradually subsided, and the inn closed its doors.

Liu Shiqi drank the jug of wine almost to the bottom before Yu Zheng came out of the guest room.When Liu Shiqi saw him, he was startled instantly——Xixiushan's former senior brother and current sect leader never wore anything other than white clothes in his impression, and now he only changed into dark clothes, which almost made people feel uncomfortable. Can't recognize it.

"This is..." Liu Shiqi put down his glass and hurriedly followed Yu Zheng, "Brother Yu, where are you going?"

Yu Zheng didn't cover his face, he just raised a knife, and motioned for Liu Shiqi to walk through the side door of the inn with him: "Look for Xi Lanyu."

Liu Shiqi: "What?!"

The author has something to say:

Beichuan Xuemen is the name of the sect, and Xuegong is the name of their headquarters, so it is not a typo [.
