Bright Moon and Cold Thousand Mountains

Three days later, Shang Zihuai, head teacher of Beichuan Academy, issued a warrant to call on all the knights in Huainan to go to Shuiyue Palace again.

The events of that day were like a farce, and they gathered again under the ruins of the Shuiyue Palace, but they lost the momentum they had before.Liu Shiqi and Feng Tingyun mixed among a group of knight-errants, observing their surroundings.

"Master didn't come?" Liu Shiqi asked him.

One day after he followed Yu Zheng to explore the southwest forest at night, Liu Shiqiu returned to the inn where Feng Tingyun and Yi Chunqiu temporarily stayed. Back and forth, nothing.As Yi Chunqiu said, the secret path has already collapsed, and it is impossible to enter the interior of Shuiyue Palace from there, and Sheng Tianya's whereabouts are unknown.

Feng Tingyun pressed Liu Shiqi's shoulder with one hand to prevent him from getting separated from him in the crowd: "She is reading the book you brought back. You said that the original work is in Chang'an, so the book in his hand is... ..."

Liu Shiqi: "Brother Di and I are wondering that mother hid the copper plate in Chang'an's old residence. I'm afraid he still doesn't know that the second volume of that book is not a 'book' at all. Think about it."

In order not to reveal the "Bi Luo Tian Shu" when the two of them talked, they were always vague. Those who only knew the inside story knew a thing or two, and coupled with the unremarkable clothes, the people on the side glanced twice, and they thought they were scattered people from a small sect. .

"Speaking of which, where's your brother?" Feng Tingyun asked, he always called Wendi that, which made Liu Shiqi's ears feel hot again.

"He has something to say to his elder brother," Liu Shiqi said.

The appointed time was approaching, and everyone was pushing forward, even with Liu Shiqi and Feng Tingyun unable to stand, they simply moved to the side.Seeing other people discussing Xi Lanyu's misfortune in full swing, rumors have been spread for almost three days. From the beginning, "Xi Lanyu wanted to take advantage of integrity to monopolize the "Book of the Blue Sky"" has now been deduced into "Xi Lanyu colluded with the remnants of the Moon Worship Sect, borrowing This opportunity annihilates all decent main forces, and then carves up the martial arts world."

Feng Tingyun listened to it, and said with a smile: "These Central Plains people are quite good at making up stories, but there is a tendency to intensify, and now they don't mention "Bi Luo Tian Shu", thinking about it, they don't understand its meaning. Tao is a secret book of martial arts."

Liu Shiqi said calmly: "But it is indeed a secret book of martial arts."

Feng Tingyun was taken aback for a moment, there was some light in his eyes flickering for a moment, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: "You are right, brother is thinking too much."

"Since it's a martial arts secret book, and it's been spread so miraculously, I don't believe they won't flock to it." Liu Shiqi raised his eyebrows, and the young man's youthful face was full of vigor, "Let's just watch, there will be a good show today."

Although Feng Tingyun didn't know about it, he also knew that Wendi and Yuzheng would not just sit and watch everything go smoothly, not to mention that he had already learned from his sources that Xi Lanyu had returned here secretly.

Yoyo, Gao Min, and the famous and decent families still failed to reach a consensus when they met again in the old place.

Without Xi Lanyu, the Beichuan Academy is not as leaderless as everyone imagined. Shang Zihuai used to be a puppet teacher, but now he finally has real power, standing in the center with Duan Wuchi.

Seeing that he was still there, the crowd whispered about why the Beichuan school was still superior.

As if he had seen through the situation, Shang Zihuai raised his clothes and said, "Today's gathering according to the agreement is a major event decided by all the heads. Xi Lanyu's lesson before made you not fully believe what the school said. Then we will take a step back with everyone and recommend Shen Baifeng, the 'pipa master' of Miaoyin Pavilion, to preside over the overall situation!"

Shen Baifeng said without losing the opportunity: "The old man and Miaoyin Pavilion are in a state of panic, all sects discuss everything together, advance and retreat together!"

Liu Shiqi's eyes fell on Yu Zheng in the front row, and he saw the young head of the twelfth floor narrowing his eyes inscrutablely, but he didn't speak.A group of disciples beside him were all dressed in beautiful white clothes, like the ice of Yanxue Peak that had not melted for years.

This decision seems to be convincing to the public, even the most picky people can't say anything wrong, after a buzzing discussion, they acquiesced.

Shang Zihuai looked around for a week, but he didn't hear any obvious rebuttal, and said: "Everyone rushed to the ruins of Shuiyue Palace together, just to avenge Yangzhou that day, and make the remnants of the Moon Worship Sect pay for their lives. There is no one to confirm whether there is such a thing..."

"If there is, what should Shang teach?" Duan Wuchi sneered, interjecting in a neutral tone.

Others might have been annoyed by this person's powerlessness, but Shang Zihuai didn't respond, and said to Duan Wuchi in a gentle and gentle way: "If there is, it should be dealt with fairly."

Duan Wuchi said: "What an impartial treatment! But I want to ask what is called 'impartiality'? So what if someone refuses to accept it?"

Shang Zihuai said: "It seems that if you don't give an explanation to Mr. Duan, you will not give up today. Well, Shang can't say anything, but he still guarantees with his own reputation that he found "Bi Luo Tian Shu" during the siege. No matter what The disciples of any sect must be handed over to Mr. Baifeng, and when the time comes, they will gather again and destroy this book!"

Duan Wuchi frowned: "You are not qualified to destroy it."

Shang Zihuai asked: "Then Mr. Duan is entitled to keep it for himself? Since Mr. Duan thinks he doesn't have it, who can take it away?"

"This..." Duan Wuchi was younger after all, he was frowned by this sentence for a long time, his eyes rolled around uncomfortably, and without any response, he simply snorted softly and stopped answering.

Shang Zihuai looked at the crowd again: "According to the news, "Bi Luo Tian Shu" is a martial arts secret book created by the remnants of the Moon Worship Sect. It is unknown, you are all righteous people, how can you confuse an unknown so-called 'cheat book'? Therefore, Shang believes that the best way to get this book is to destroy it in full view, and never let the martial arts rise again. Something happened!"

After he finished speaking, he revealed that he had his own ghosts these days.

Martial arts secret books that can be accomplished overnight in ten years have always been the pursuits of those who are ignorant. As soon as "Bi Luo Tian Shu" comes out, it will inevitably lead to disputes.Since Shang Zihuai said this, regardless of whether it is true or not, several sects on the surface will definitely guard this secret book tightly, and prevent others from getting it.

Some people with small calculations heard the words, and they were angry and frustrated, while others felt that they were worthy of being the orthodox head teacher of Beichuan School, and they were really glorious.

"If Mr. Shang had been in control of the overall situation from the very beginning, how could there be any previous changes—"

"Yes, yes, the head teacher is a role model for my generation, and he is dedicated to martial arts!"

These remarks poured into his ears, and Liu Shiqi couldn't help turning his head to look at Feng Tingyun.He was not in a hurry or annoyed, and there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, which was no different from his previous expression.

Liu Shiqi called softly: "Senior brother."

Feng Tingyun patted him on the shoulder: "Don't panic, didn't you let me watch a good show?"

Sure enough, at the time when everything was booming, Yu Zheng said in a dark voice in the direction of the [-]th floor: "Shang Zhang is very brave, but Yu can't help but ask you to teach me one thing."

"Master Yu, please tell me." Shang Zi said with a good temper.

Yu Zheng laughed lightly and refused to speak.He has such a temperament, ordinary people know that Xixiu Mountain's elder brother and current head is a piece of ice that can't be covered, he talks less and is very lonely.Many knights disliked him, but behind Yu Zheng was the entire Xixiu Mountain, and no one could criticize him for a while.

He stood still, and Song Min'er, who had changed back to the Xixiu Mountain disciple's uniform, stepped forward and said for Yu Zheng: "Three days ago, Xi Lanyu, the elder of your sect—I don't know if your sect has removed him, so let's call him that—" ——During the confrontation with the head of Zhao Yang, it was mentioned that the death of Zuo Nian, the head of my school, had other secrets. Now three days have passed, and the Beichuan school has not given any explanation. Is it okay to let it go?"

Shang Zihuai was silent for a while, and said: "The letter is written by senior brother... Xi Lanyu, so it is possible that Master Yu wants to anger the entire Beichuan Academy?"

Yu Zheng whispered: "Really?"

The young man's eyes are always bright, and Shang Zihuai's heart tightened for no reason when he stared at him like a falcon.But he did a good job on the surface, and a sorry smile seemed to grow on his face: "Master Yu will not let Shang and his disciples go."

"I don't have time to find out who it is," Yu Zheng said. He spoke in a serious manner, "Three days have passed, and Beichuan Xuemen didn't say anything, so I went to find you guys myself." The so-called murderer—caused Master’s wife and children to die tragically in Ningzhou, his heart is deeply rooted in demons, if he does not avenge this revenge, what face do I, Yu Zheng, have to go back to Yueming Tower!”

Shang Zihuai clenched his hands suddenly, the sword was close at hand, but he didn't dare to hold it.

The gatekeepers on the twelfth floor automatically spread out to reveal the people at the end.

It was still the same clothes as three days ago, and the crown was clean, but it was Xi Lanyu who threatened to avenge her vengeance!

"Senior brother...?" Shang Zihuai murmured, he took half a step back, and was suddenly pressed against his back by a person.

Turning his head, Duan Wuchi's inscrutable expression fell into his eyes. He glanced at Shang Zihuai with a half-smile, and said in a low voice in the boiling sky: "Master, what are you afraid of?"

Once one was in the light and the other was in the dark, now one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.

It's just a difference between cloud and mud, and it's only when it's put on the table that I realize how shameful the entanglement between the two of them is.

Xi Lanyu looked up at Shang Zihuai, the sound of "senior brother" hit him with a sharp pain in his heart, day and night have been facing each other for decades, but it turned out to be this kind of result in the end.He was secretly amused, but he couldn't help being angry. He and Shang Zihuai were indeed wary of each other, but they also tacitly agreed not to attack each other.

Back then, he was still studying martial arts with his classmates in the academy. Shang Zihuai was a genius in the words of his teacher and father, and he was appointed by default at a young age to take over the mantle in the future.However, Xi Lanyu became the mentor's favorite student by mistake, and taught him all the martial arts.

But he was a late bloomer, and he had no chance to show it for many years, and his reputation in the academy was still not as good as that of Shang Zihuai.

The year when the sect master passed away and the younger brother took over the position of master teacher, it coincided with the ten-year sword discussion meeting held in Ziyang Palace.Xi Lanyu went on behalf of Beichuan Xuemen, and defeated Kongtong, who was in full swing at that time.From then on, he became obsessed with martial arts, and became sympathetic opponents with Zuo Nian, Daoist Shi Shan, and Shen Baifeng, and also became one of the four masters.

From this year on, he became famous.When mentioning "Jingming swordsmanship", people in the Jianghu have to say that Xi Lanyu's Junzi sword is just like its name, and he is the master of Beichuan martial arts.

Xi Lanyu doesn't need to take care of Beichuan School's affairs, he just relies on Wu Aowu and has to intervene in everything.At first Shang Zihuai euphemistically explained that his senior brother did not need to work on him, but as time passed, Shang Zihuai let him go, silently living himself into what others called "Xi Lanyu's puppet".

He once wondered if Shang Zihuai was indulging, but he forgot that his junior was not a fuel-efficient lamp since he was a child.

How could a person with outstanding talent and pride since he was a child be willing to hide in the darkness?

Twenty years had passed, and he realized that he hadn't looked at Shang Zihuai in such a silent way for a long time.Xi Lanyu recalled for no reason that he played chess with Shang Zihuai when he was young. With their own thoughts, they spread all the twists and turns after many years on the chessboard.

Whoever moves first wins.

But he, Xi Lanyu, thought for a moment that winning or losing might not be important at all.

"Senior brother, there are all the witnesses and material evidence, what else can you say?" Hearing Shang Zihuai's voice, he suppressed it heavily in his throat, as if he was hiding thousands of thoughts.

Xi Lanyu tossed out a roll of ink, on which was the content of his alleged correspondence with Yanglou that day!

"This is my handwriting." Xi Lanyu said in a deep voice, "Junior brother, you and I were only two years old when we entered the palace together. We studied and practiced handwriting together. You are a genius. It is not difficult to imitate handwriting."

Shang Zihuai gritted his teeth and said, "You said it was me?!"

Xi Lanyu moved his inner strength from his fingertips, and the roll of paper was stretched, and then he moved his wrist slightly, and a dagger was shot out, nailing the black and white words on the stone pillar on one side.The strokes of each character have a clear trend. Although many years have passed, the connotation of the handwriting should have changed, but the dots, horizontal strokes, and strokes are all traces of childhood.

"You said that the word 'Ningzhou' is not mistaken, but junior brother," Xi Lanyu's voice spread far away, but only those who were near could hear the sigh, "I haven't written like that for many years. "

Shang Zihuai closed his pupils slightly.

Xi Lanyu: "Competing with Zuo Nian, I really want to try his flower-folding skills. If he doesn't show me that's all, I will find another opportunity in the future. Unexpectedly, I have become a martial idiot in everyone's hearts. Can you be ruthless? But junior brother, you, Zuo Nian and Shen Baifeng are good friends of Jinlan, I really can't think of any reason for you to treat him..."

"What..." Shen Baifeng said incredulously, he turned to Shang Zihuai, "Zihuai, is that really the case!"

With the appearance of Xi Lanyu, the crowd suddenly became chaotic, and no one cared about the purpose of coming to Shuiyue Palace today after saying this.Liu Shiqi looked around, among the crowd on the twelfth floor, Wendi had a dark face, as if he was not very happy, and when he looked at the familiar faces, they were either shocked or furious.

He just felt that he had seen enough of the drama, and pulled the sleeve of the person beside him: "Feng..."

But at this time.

The sky is bright and bright, the sun is scorching hot, and the ruins of Shuiyue Palace are full of shouts.From the stone that had been silent for decades, countless men in black suddenly appeared on both sides of the only road leading to the Shuiyue Palace in the town!

"Who is it!" Liu Shiqi let out a light groan, and Chang He took out his sheath and held it in his hand.

Feng Tingyun pulled him and jumped out of the tight encirclement without hesitation, and the corner of his clothes was almost scratched by the blade before he landed with him.Before Liu Shiqi could recover, a person came out from behind the stone statue in the corner.

He saw clearly the goose yellow dress of the visitor, and said joyfully, "Master!"

Yi Chunqiu nodded slightly, looked at the leaderless situation in the field and said indifferently: "This is Sheng Tianya's situation, catch a turtle in an urn. He has been hiding in the Central Plains for many years, not just doing nothing to recuperate, Gong Qianying and Xuanhuang are enough to arrange for him. These 'congregants', once word of the name 'Dou Zhuan Xing Yi' gets out, there will always be someone who will come."

Feng Tingyun interjected: "Master and I explored the Shuiyue Palace twice at night, and we didn't find nothing. These people were carefully cultivated by him... disciples, thugs, dead men, whatever you want to say. If they practiced "Dou Zhuan Xing Xing" ", and was taught by Sheng Tianya's Kung Fu, compared with these well-known and decent people, one is worth ten."

Liu Shiqi was startled at first, then looked at the crowd, and suddenly became frightened: "But Brother Di is still there, are these people going to drive them all out...I'm going to find him!"

After saying that, he held the Changhe Dao with one hand, and jumped into the crowd over there with just one breath.

"Seventeen—" Feng Tingyun couldn't stop shouting, he was upset at the spot, turned his head and blamed Yi Chunqiu, "Master! You don't care about him, isn't there still business!"

Yi Chunqiu said with a smile: "Let him go. Now Shi Qi's heart is not on Wangyue Island, plus... he and Xiaomei are mother and son, and they have read the full text of "Bi Luo Tian Shu". It's a big move. It's embarrassing to be left or right, why don't you let him go and help Wendi."

Feng Tingyun thought about it, and looked at the entrance of the secret passage: "What should we do now?"

"Sheng Tianya will come out sooner or later." Yi Chunqiu said, "He brought Xingzhou with him. If you want to save Xingzhou, do it at that time. I will be responsible for restraining him—don't let him know that "Book of Biluotian" is on Shiqi .”

Feng Tingyun: "Yes, I understand."

He rubbed the Xichen Sword at his waist, and the weapon seemed to have a spirit with him all the year round, making a slight metallic buzzing sound.

Not far away, the man in black who suddenly appeared stood in a group with the disciples of various sects, and the scene was extremely chaotic.Liu Shiqi was good with his lightness kung fu, he tapped several people's shoulders, and landed on the center without any mistakes.

But no one cared about him, all eyes were on Xi Lanyu and Shang Zihuai.This pair of senior brothers who were well-known brothers and sisters in the martial arts in the past now turned their eyes against each other, and there was a sudden sound of killing. , and another cold light, two famous soldiers hit one place.

"What's going on!" Liu Shiqi found Wendi, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here too!"

Liu Shiqidao, took out a knife to block a flying stone for Wendi: "I'm worried about your safety!"

Wendi's heart softened, but he also knew that it was not the time for the two of them to be affectionate, so he turned to Yu Zheng: "Eldest brother!"

"Everyone protect your own safety, first retreat as much as possible." Yu Zheng said, he put one hand on Mo Ci's back, exchanged glances with another disciple, and the saber was out of its sheath.

"Those people in black with red scarves on their arms are Sheng Tianya's disciples." Liu Shiqi explained hastily.

The person who sent the message glanced at him in amazement, knowing that he also had an inexplicable relationship with Sheng Tianya and the Moon Worship Sect, but no one cared so much, and the word was passed on as soon as it was spoken.

A fight messed up all the original plans. Liu Shiqi slashed his sword, followed by a palm, which hit a man in black in the heart.The experience of these days has not been in vain, Liuyang Palm is simple, the person who got the trick was shot several feet away, blood was sprayed from the mouth, and he passed out without even saying a word.

Liu Shiqi was surprised for a moment, then turned to look at Wendi.

The flower-folding hand is paired with listening to the wind steps, which is a very beautiful killing skill, and it is more than enough for self-protection when you walk around in it after hearing the flute.The two of them seem to have a tacit understanding, the moment their eyes met, Wen Di's phoenix eyes slightly raised, and he casually tapped one of the acupoints to push away.

Not even a word is needed.

The decent people were held back by these men in black who suddenly appeared, and they were too busy to take care of themselves. No one noticed that in the center of the battle circle, the two swords of Shang Zihuai and Xi Lanyu struck together.

The two are so close that only Xi Lanyu can hear Shang Zihuai's words: "Senior brother, it's too late to stop now!"

"Stop?" Xi Lanyu snorted softly, her eyes sharp, "Then let you take advantage of the situation and say that I colluded with Sheng Tianya and wiped you all out in order to avenge the frame? Or did I have a different heart? I am already the murderer who framed Zuo Nian and united Yanglou, they will listen to whatever you say!"

"you……"

Shang Zihuai was taken aback for a moment, Junzi's sword suddenly retreated, and after exchanging breaths, it immediately stabbed at him very sharply.After tearing away all the superficial friendship between teachers and disciples, Jingming's swordsmanship is actually not gentle.

"Zi Huai, even if I'm sorry for you, it's between you and me, why bother—" Xi Lanyu is much better than Shang Zihuai in martial arts. Can force him to ask him the whole story, "Why do you drag so many people into the water! Is it true that you don't want to be famous?"

Shang Zihuai received his sword abruptly, his mouth was numb from the shock, and his heart also felt a dull pain.

"That's right, as long as this matter is over, you get what you want, and your reputation won't be damaged at all—my junior brother, Xi Lanyu, who knows that he can speak like a lotus flower." Xi Lanyu suddenly realized, and he took a few steps back , casually waved away a man in black who was trying to sneak attack, the long sword pierced his chest, blood spattered three feet.

"Senior brother, you always think so much..." Shang Zihuai said with difficulty, he was gradually unable to do what he wanted, the fabric of his clothes was broken by the sword energy, but his flesh was not injured anywhere.

Why didn't he show mercy to Sapphire who didn't attend.

Xi Lanyu sneered, with eyes full of sarcasm: "You want me to take the blame, and it's not impossible to get the "Bi Luo Tian Shu", but junior brother, I still don't understand one thing...can you tell me?"

Shang Zihuai remained silent.

The sword energy around the senior brother on the opposite side was almost condensed into form, it was his thorn, protecting his last remaining pride.

"Zuo Nian and you are Jinlan brothers, why are you so cruel to him?" Xi Lanyu looked at him quietly, but at this moment of suppressed anger, everything was silent, "What are you planning?"

For many years of grievances, Shang Zihuai did not dodge or evade, and faced his sword: "I don't want anything, I just think it's unfair."

Xi Lanyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she didn't speak.

Shang Zihuai said: "Zuo Nian has everything, but I want to destroy everything about him."

Although the lingering sound fell to my ears lightly, it was like thunder on the ground.Xi Lanyu's three-foot-one-inch gentleman's sword cut across the air fiercely, almost splitting the wind, leaving deep scratches on the gravel.

"You're just... crazy!"
