Sword Three: Rain Painting Scroll

In the cold winter, the wind is like a knife, blowing on the face, like a sharp knife inch by inch, cutting a person's skin bluntly, which is extremely painful.

A carriage came from the south and went north. The rolling wheels crushed the ice and snow mixed with mud on the ground.Mo Xi was sitting in the carriage, with a heater stuffed in her arms, which made no difference whether she used it or not.Yan Xiaoliu yawned, and straightened her two slender legs as much as possible. There were warming symbols engraved in the compartment, and these runes made the compartment warm and comfortable.

This section of the road is a bit long, the road from Cangshan Erhai to Fenghua Valley is really too long.Yan Xiaoliu did the math, and if they didn't have ten days and a half months, they wouldn't be able to reach Fenghua Valley at all.Originally, Mo Xi could return to Fenghua Valley in an instant, but Yan Xiaoliu didn't want that. He wanted to stay with Mo Yu and Mo Xi for a while.

Yan Xiaoliu sighed secretly, found a bundle from a corner, opened it, and there were a few dry cakes inside.Picking up a piece of cake, Yan Xiaoliu took a big bite, chewed a few times but it was like chewing wax.But he didn't feel anything, he still chewed it down, and ate the cake.

Mo Xi closed her eyes and leaned her back against a corner of the carriage. She seldom spoke along the way, and the president only said ten words.And Mo Yu himself was a man of few words, so it was extremely difficult for him to say a few more words.Yan Xiaoliu was a chatterbox, he kept talking non-stop, all he could hear was twittering along the way, like a little sparrow.

Mo Yu was driving outside, wearing a bamboo hat on his head.The snow fluttered down, and there were no people on both sides of the road.In this snowy day, there are few pedestrians.The three of Mo Yu and the others took the official road. After buying a carriage in Eryue Village, they headed north all the way, on their way every day.

Yan Xiaoliu sent a letter to Chunyang from the courier in Cangshan and Erhai.

He has been away from Chunyang for such a long time, the master and senior brothers must be worried.

Passing through Baling County, they passed through Luodao, all the way to the north, even though they saw some shivering refugees huddled under the broken huts on the side of the road, Mo Yu never stopped.The wheels rolled, kicked up mud and snow, and soon came to the Yushan Ancient Road to Luoyang.There is a Red Clothes Temple near the Yushan Ancient Road, which is full of followers of the Red Clothes Sect.

The Cardinal Sect, formerly known as the Assassin Sect, originated from a religion in Persia. It has a history of more than [-] years, and was originally differentiated from Zoroastrianism.The founder of the Red Clothes Sect is Assassin, who was once a close friend with Lu Weilou, the leader of the Ming Sect.It's just that these two people left Persia and came to the Central Plains to preach, but they took two different paths.

Most of the missionary methods of the Red Clothes Sect are not very bright.

Establish an orphanage, start from the child, brainwash every day, and cultivate a group of believers who are loyal to themselves.

Spread grace and preach, first create all kinds of troubles, and then save them from the dire straits, so that the common people think they are gods.

Or create something weird.

Assassin used these methods to get people to join the Red Clothes Sect. Those brainwashed Red Clothes Sect disciples had firm beliefs, worshiped the god Ahriman, and admired the leader Assassin.Assassin used those loyal believers to continue to expand his power, cleared the blockers, and gradually established the current terrorist kingdom.

There is also the territory of the Red Clothes Sect in Fenghua Valley, and there is a red palace hidden on the other side of Hongye Lake.The palace is not big, but it has a certain scale.It is difficult for anyone to find it on weekdays, and it was built on a certain day decades ago.The people who built it, the people in Fenghua Valley are not very clear, because Mo Xi and the others never pay much attention to mortals.

Under the wind and snow, there are not many red-clothed believers on the side of the road, but occasionally some ordinary people in ragged clothes will kneel on the ground and mutter something, as if they are worshiping some god.

Mo Yu continued on his way without looking sideways, passed Luodao, entered Luoyang, and headed for Fenghua Valley in the northwest direction.Day after day, connecting four or five days, they finally arrived at Fenghua Valley.When I came to Wuyang Gang, there were still many people coming and going there.After getting out of the carriage, Mo Yu handed the reins of the carriage to Yan Xiaoliu and said, "We will meet later, Yan Xiaoliu."

Holding the reins, Yan Xiaoliu sat on the carriage, with an extremely reluctant expression on his face, and said, "...then, there will be a time later, Miss Mo, you little lunatic."

Staring at Yan Xiaoliu's face, Mo Yu heaved a long sigh, and said, "Yan Xiaoliu, can you not look like a dead parent? We are parting, not dying!"

Yan Xiaoliu: "..."

"The road to practice is long, and there are very few people who have achieved the Dao. You should be diligent when you go back, and don't waste your cultivation. 』This is what Mo Xi said to Yan Xiaoliu before leaving.

This tone, these words are similar to those of Yan Xiaoliu's masters, uncles and uncles, but Yan Xiaoliu loves to listen, because what Mo Xi said is for his own good.

Nodding, Yan Xiaoliu choked up and said, "I, I'm leaving."

Mo Yu said: "I won't send you off." That expression was similar to the disgusted expression of 'as far as you can go'.

Yan Xiaoliu: "..." This is the rhythm that makes him go right away!The boat of friendship really capsizes when it is said, it is not ambiguous at all! !

No longer twitching, Yan Xiaoliu waved his big hand and said: "The green mountain will not be changed, we will meet later!!" Saying this, he drove the carriage away from Wuyang Gang in front of Mo Yu and Mo Xi.

After Yan Xiaoliu left for a while, Mo Xi turned his head and looked in the direction of Ziyuan Mountain.

Seeing her worried look, Mo Yu said, "Let's go to Ziyuan Mountain to have a look. I haven't been back for a long time."

Mo Xi nodded.

The two left Wuyang Hill, headed north, and headed towards Ziyuan Mountain.But Mo Xi didn't go to Ziyuan mountain, but went down to Ziyuanze.She was going to meet Yan Yan.When she was approaching Ziyuanze, she raised her hand and waved forward, the scene in front of her eyes suddenly changed, Ziyuanze, which was supposed to be only a river, suddenly changed.There is a house floating on the water above Ziyuanze in front of you.

In front of the house there is a bamboo road directly connected to the bank.

As soon as I came to that house, the door opened from the inside, and I saw a young man with a particularly strange appearance leaning on the door frame and smiling slightly at Mo Xi.But when his eyes fell on Mo Yu who was behind Mo Xi, he was obviously stunned.Squinting her eyes slightly, Yanyan smiled calmly and said, "Your Majesty, you are back."

Mo Xi said: "Go and call the other ten guards, Lord Hinoki and Tongban, I have something to tell you." 』

Yanyan asked: "What about Miss Eqiang and Miss Wanlu?"

Mo Xi said, "Aren't they not in the valley?" 』

This sentence made Yanyan choke. He stared at Mo Xi for a long while before he sighed and said, "My lord, it won't do any good if you summon us. You wait in the room, and I will invite them over now." With that said, his figure turned into a cloud of black smoke and quickly disappeared from Mo Xi and Mo Yu's eyes.

"go in. ’ Mo Xi said to Mo Yu behind him.

Mo Yu nodded and followed.Yanyan's room is more grand, the hall is spacious and bright when entering the door, a main chair is placed directly opposite the door, nine chairs are placed at the bottom of each side, and a white tiger skin blanket is spread in the center of the floor.On both sides of the main chair are two small tables with long legs, on which are placed two bronze mirrors, with strange words engraved on the mirrors.There is a horizontal plaque directly above the hall, and there are four words written on the plaque, the heart is like still water.

A chair appeared on the edge of the main table, and Mo Xi said to Mo Yu, "Sit here." 』

Mo Yu didn't refuse, and sat on the chair according to Mo Xi.

In Fenghua Valley, Mo Xi didn't have to sit in a well-behaved manner like outside.She sat on the main chair casually, stepped on the armrest with one leg arched, and the other leg hung down naturally.Leaning most of her body on the back of the chair, Mo Xi put one hand on her lap casually, and tapped her knee lightly with two fingers.

When Yanyan invited the other ten guards, Master Hui and Tongban who were guarding Suoyao Cave, she saw the young man named Mo Yu sitting at the lower end very close to Mo Xi, and the two were talking about something.

Except for Huang Hu, among the ten guards guarding Suoyao Cave, the rest are all veterans.After they greeted Mo Xi one by one, they found the seats on both sides to sit down, while Lord Hinoki and Tong Ban bowed to Mo Xi and sat down in the seats closest to the door.

For several years, Huang Hu had never seen Mo Xi again, and his impression of Mo Xi was still the same as when she stomped his foot on the ground back then.

A woman with a gorgeous face and a luxurious posture waved to Huang Hu and said, "What are you waiting for, little tiger, come and sit with my sister."

The corners of Huang Hu's mouth twitched slightly, and he walked over grudgingly, looking very reluctant.

To be honest, if Huang Hu wanted to list a person he hated very much, if Yan Yan was not counted at the top of the list, then this woman must be ranked first, even more annoying than E Qiang! !

The group of people all sat down, and no one asked about Mo Yu.

As the owner of this room, Yan Yan did not sit down, but stood on the other side of the main chair.The face that is always smiling on weekdays is inexplicably more obscure.

Mo Xi didn't speak immediately, but continued to tap his knees with his fingers, making everyone present except Mo Yu tremble.

After a long while, a beautiful woman with long water-colored hair and a faint silver streak between her eyebrows slowly said, "Why did the King call us here?" Her voice was gentle and gentle, just like her.

This woman could be regarded as the only person in the field whose aptitude was older than Mo Xi's.

"Loy. 』Mo Xi stopped tapping her two fingers on her knees, and spoke softly. "How about over there? 』

Luo Yi understood and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with it, and it has not been affected in the slightest. If you think about it, that person would not dare to do anything there."

"The moon. 』

"Your subordinate is here." The woman called Yanyue is a demon woman, she is older than Yanyan, but she can't tell from her appearance at all.Yanyue has a very cute face, with glass-colored eyes, very beautiful.

"Bring that thing to Yan Yan. 』

Yan Yue was taken aback for a moment, and those present who didn't understand what was going on were also taken aback.

"Take it out, Kazuki. ’ Mo Xi said it again.

Yan Yue was still a little hesitant, but since Mo Xi said that, she didn't hesitate anymore.

Spreading out her palm, a fan-shaped bronze medal appeared in Yanyue's palm. When she saw this bronze medal, Yan Yan's complexion changed decisively.

"Anything to explain to me?Yan Yan. 』
