Zhixuan just felt that this person was too unreasonable, with a full-faced appearance, he was obviously a mortal, but he always spoke for evil spirits.Zhishun couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "I think you are probably bewitched by the old hag, so hurry up and get out of the way! If you don't get out of the way, no wonder we will kill you as well!"

As soon as he took a step, he felt his feet go numb by the way.Shen Jianli lowered the gun and fired a shot in front of his feet, hindering his progress, and lazily said: "Okay, you come and kill. I want to see who you can kill."

At this time, Yue Qiluo was guarded by Shen Jianli behind her, she withdrew her magical powers, her face was drenched in cold sweat, her face was frighteningly pale.At this time, her soul power was exhausted, her whole body was limp and trembling, she could barely stand still by holding onto Shen Jianli's back, and a trace of blood was dripping from the corner of her lips.She whispered something in his ear, and then pulled his skirt to ask him to back down.But Shen Jianli shook his head, said in a low voice: "It's okay." He then shielded her a few inches behind him.

Seeing that these two people didn't take him seriously, Zhixuan naturally felt angry, threw away the broken mahogany sword in his hand, and pulled out the iron sword at his waist for self-defense.Gritting his teeth, he wiped his palm on the blade of the sword, leaving a trail of blood on the sword wound, and poured the talisman water he brought on the sword.The whole set of movements was completed in one go, Shen Jianli was talking to Yue Qiluo, before he could raise his gun, he heard Xuanduan shout, raised his sword and stabbed Yue Qiluo at the gate of life.I saw a ray of cold light piercing the air, coming head on, and there was nowhere to hide, it was about to pierce Yue Qiluo's heart.

The sword pierced into the flesh, making a toothache sound.Zhixuan's arms were numb, and when he took a closer look, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock.The sword was held by Shen Jianli in one hand, the tip of the sword sank into his shoulder, and blood dripped from his hand holding the blade.It turned out that Shen Jianli saw that it was too late to back down, so he pushed Yue Qiluo behind him, and he went up to the sword point to meet Yue Qiluo, taking the sword for Yue Qiluo!He only regrets that the talisman water on the sword, and even all the talisman circles on Zhixuan's body, have no effect on ordinary people.He panicked for a moment and wanted to draw out the sword, but Shen Jianli held it tightly and couldn't draw it out.The person on the opposite side groaned in pain, raised his gun with a sneer, and said, "It seems that I really don't want to live anymore, so Grandpa will give you a ride and tell you to have a companion on the road to Huangquan!"

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a lazy voice came from outside the courtyard door, drawing out the tone, "Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Several people in the courtyard followed the prestige, and saw a handsome young man in a long gown walking slowly outside the door. His hair was cut close to his scalp. At this time, he was holding his hands together in front of his chest, and said in his mouth: "Amitabha, there are outstanding people here. It's not a good place to kill people. Wouldn't it be nice for all benefactors to put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas right away?"

There was silence in the courtyard for a while, and everyone froze in place, staring at him blankly.

Seeing that no one bought his account, Wuxin had no choice but to put down her hands, coughed a few times and said: "Zhang Xianzong, put down the gun first."

He cast his eyes on Zhixuan who was holding the sword, "Little Taoist priest, put it down too. It's not good to fight and kill."

"Who are you?" Zhixuan had no time to be distracted, and only pulled out his sword with all his strength.Suddenly the sword was loosened, and he couldn't hold back his strength, he staggered a few steps back before he could stand still.Shen Jianli let go of his hand, the palm was dripping with blood, Yue Qiluo took out a handkerchief to bandage him, the duck egg green silk cloth was immediately dyed blood red.

"You...you two, why are you here to ruin my Qingyun Temple's great event." Zhishun's eyes were red with anger, "elimination of evildoers... that is to uphold justice! You are helping evildoers, you are also evildoers! "

Wuxin clasped her hands and said with a smile: "Speaking of great truths is a set routine. I'm afraid that you two little mouths won't grow up if you come out of the world." As he spoke, his eyes froze, as if he was missing something, "Speaking of it, I haven't met your master yet, and I don't know what kind of apprentice Chuchenzi raised, but he is more courageous than him."

"Have you met Master?" Zhishun's eyes widened.

"I've seen it, I've seen it. When he was frightened by Yue Qiluo back then, I was behind him." Wuxin smiled and squinted at Yue Qiluo, and said, "Let's go, Yue Qiluo's old age is not something you can handle. Yes. Why don’t you go back and learn from your ancestors, idle clouds and wild cranes, hide when you can. The world has changed, and it’s not like being a hero.”

"Senior brother...this..." Zhishun lost his mind, and looked at Zhixuan for help.

Zhixuan on the side heard this and was already furious in his heart.Today, after being humiliated by the old hag Yue, another mortal appeared to block the way, and now this ordinary-dressed young man pretended to be an elder, and came to teach them an inexplicable lesson.He is weak in mana, so he can't help Yue Qiluo, I'm afraid it won't be easy to do business when he goes back.Zhishun is just a little trash!He can only bluff, his guts are thinner than the tip of a needle, and he will only hold him back when it comes to critical moments.Today it is impossible to leave or enter.Walk?Not to mention being taught by the master, I'm afraid it will ruin the century-old reputation of Qingyun Temple.Jin, Zuo is only dead, he has found out the details of Yue Qiluo, although these two people stop him, they are both mortal, if they really fight, they may not be able to stop him.

Thinking of this, Zhixuan threw the iron sword on the ground, clanging.Seeing him abandoning the sword, Wu Xin thought that the kid had finally enlightened, so she went forward to pull him back.As soon as he took a step, Zhixuan took out a talisman from his bosom, threw it at his feet, and immediately a barrier was set up, Wuxin was caught off guard, and was bounced back by the barrier, causing burning pain on his toes.

"Hey," Wuxin wondered, stretched out his hand and bit his fingertips, "You're really stubborn."

Shen Jianli had already relaxed his vigilance, and was tightening his handkerchief to stop the bleeding, when he suddenly stopped drinking with a sound of "呔".Looking up, the little Taoist didn't know when he dropped his sword, and raised his palm to pat his heart.This palm contained the cultivation of Zhixuan's whole body, and a rune was drawn on the palm with blood.But Shen Jianli was not only mysterious, he didn't hide, he took the palm abruptly.

Zhixuan thought he had finally succeeded, but before he could touch Shen Jianli's body, he saw that his heart was flushed, and a powerful force pressed against his palm, and he staggered abruptly.The strength of Zhixuan's whole body was thrown into the air, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell hard to the ground, still stunned and unable to react.

"Good dogs don't block the way!" Zhixuan lay on the ground and howled desperately.He tried his best to not even get close to Yue Qiluo.Bai has learned Taoism for more than ten years, how could he not be able to beat even a mortal who practiced sorcery, he really failed the teaching, felt ashamed for a moment, and got up shamelessly to meet people again.

Zhishun at the side saw that his brother was being bullied, so he rushed over to help him up, picked up the iron sword on the ground, and swung it around.Before he got close to Shen Jianli, there was a jade tablet dangling in front of his eyes.Looking up again, Wuxin did not know when she had crossed the barrier, she took out a white jade plaque with hollowed-out lettering from her bosom, and showed Zhishun the words on it.

"When I left Wen County back then, your ancestor still owed me a big favor." Wuxin said lazily, "He gave me this jade tablet, saying that if there are any difficulties in the future, I can come to Qingyun Temple to fulfill a promise .Look, is the name of your ancestor engraved on this jade?"

Zhixuan got up from the ground, pulled the jade tablet and looked at it again and again, and had to admit: "It's the name of the master."

"Okay, then I won't be polite to you. I only have one request, that is, the two of you leave Chongqing quickly, and you are not allowed to take care of Yue Qiluo's affairs." Wu Xin raised his eyebrows, "How?"

Zhixuan had heard his master mention the jade plaque, so he was also dumb at this time.On the other hand, Zhishun was still on the sidelines: "Yes, but how can we go back and meet business?"

"Go back with the jade card, your master won't make things difficult." Wuxin didn't discuss with them, bent down one on each side, put the two little Taoist priests on his shoulders, and walked out the door.Zhishun was still struggling with his hands and feet, but Zhixuan didn't say a word.He couldn't figure it out, the man in military uniform was obviously a mortal, but what was the origin of that red light in his heart just now?

"Wait!" Zhixuan suddenly raised his voice, "You put me down first."

"What's the matter?" Wuxin felt that the child was really troublesome.

"Senior Wuxin, please forgive me for your offense just now." Zhixuan put his hands together to salute, and then turned his gaze back to Shen Jianli, "It's just that I have to find out something, if not, I'm afraid I won't die in the future I am willing."

Saying that, Zhixuan stepped forward to probe Shen Jianli's heart.He clasped his wrist backwards and twisted it. Zhixuan gritted his teeth and refused to let go after suffering from the pain. The other hand reached out and clasped Shen Jianli's wrist, with three fingers resting on his pulse, taking his pulse into his heart .

Zhixuan listened for a while, at first his brows were tightly furrowed, but he was caught off guard, and he smiled "ha", a look of joy flashed between his brows, and he said loudly: "I see! That's how it is, I, Dao Xiesong, has absorbed the energy of the whole city." Why are you still so weak, it turns out...it turns out that all the energy she sucked has been poured into your heart veins. Changing your fate against the sky is self-defeating!"

After speaking, there was a burst of wild laughter, and the laughing Shen Jianli was also stunned, and let go of his wrist.Unintentionally seeing that something was wrong, she pounced on him and dragged him out of the door.Na Zhixuan staggered as he walked, and kept shouting: "Your self-destruction is too much for heaven! Yue Qiluo, you don't live long! You have insulted my teacher for hundreds of years, and now you have finally come to an end. Wait for it to be wiped out!"

"Get out!" Wuxin kicked the nonsense Zhixuan out of the door, and shut the door together with Zhishun who was holding a mahogany sword with a dazed face.Two more iron chains were put on, and the door was firmly locked.The laughter and cursing outside were still lingering, but Wuxin bent down to pick up a handful of stones and threw them outside, and it finally subsided a lot.

As soon as he turned around, Shen Jianli rushed up to go out, Wu Xin pushed him back, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing!"

"What did he just say?" Shen Jianli's face was pale, "You let me go out, I want to ask to understand."

"The two lunatics are full of crazy words, you'd better not listen." Wu Xin intentionally avoided the topic, "Hurry up and help Yue Qiluo into the house, I don't think she can hold on anymore, I'll ask you to wait a little longer Yes, I'm afraid I won't save my life."

Only then did Shen Jianli realize that Yue Qiluo behind him was tottering like a leaf in the wind.She didn't say a word for a long time, but she was exhausted, and she barely supported herself to stand, her clothes were soaked in cold sweat, and her face was as white as snow.He had been concentrating on guarding against the little Taoist just now, but he didn't realize that she was in such a bad condition, so he hurried over to help her into the room, put her on the bed, and gave her the tonic left by Bai Liuli , and then went out of the wing room together with Wu Xin.

When I arrived in the yard, I saw that the ground was in a mess, calligraphy and paintings were scattered everywhere, and fragments of window frames were scattered on the ground.Wuxin and Shen Jianli silently picked up the calligraphy and paintings, rolled them up and threw them into the empty window hole.For a while, the winter wind was bleak and relatively silent.

"Zhang Xianzong," Wuxin hesitated for a long time, and finally asked, "Be honest, how much did you hear about the conversation between me and Yue Qiluo that day?"

"I don't understand what you are saying." Shen Jianli closed his eyes tiredly, "I only know that Qi Luo's health is getting worse and worse. Every day, she is weaker than before. I'm afraid I If she stays any longer, she really won't be able to survive."

"So you still want to go?"

"I can't drag Qiluo down," Shen Jianli smiled shyly, "Besides, whether to stay or not is not something I can decide on my own."

"As long as you want to stay, there are a hundred ways to stay." Wu Xin squinted at Shen Jianli, "But I support you, Yue Qiluo is now on the tip of his horns, you really can't stay anymore. Maybe when she figured it out In this way, it’s not too late for you to come back.”

Shen Jianli nodded with a wry smile: "Qi Luo has saved me more than once or twice, she is my benefactor, but I keep causing her to suffer, it's my fault. All I can do now is not to be her burden. "

"Hey," Wuxin looked at Shen Jianli's back, suddenly couldn't bear it, "Zhang Xianzong, you must come back alive."

But Shen Jianli didn't seem to hear what he said, and walked to the window of the east wing by himself.Under the blasted window hole, there is a sparse plum tree, but it has not bloomed yet, and it is a bare branch.He stood in front of the plum tree, imagining how it would bloom. The red plums are so beautiful.

"I heard from Qiluo that this plum tree is called Guhong Zhaoshui. The petals are deep purple, but the core is sprinkled with gold." Shen Jianli's voice drifted in the wind, "When it's time to bloom, please help me cut a branch. , as a hairpin for Qi Luo, I think it suits her very well."

Wuxin's heart sank, and she said with a dry smile, "I don't want to talk about these things. When you come back, you can cut it yourself. I won't help you."

Shen Jianli laughed lowly, his voice was inaudible: "Maybe."

Shen Jianli really had a dream that night, dreaming of a blood-red plum blossom blooming on the top of the mountain.The surrounding area is covered with snow, but it is full of plum trees. There is a small path among the flowers, which leads to a long trestle bridge.

He came here to find someone, and he was holding a long sword in his hand, dragging it heavily on the ground, making a rattling sound.There was still old blood on the front of his shirt, but it didn't belong to him.Shen Jianli vaguely remembered that the blood belonged to a girl, but couldn't remember it.

After turning a few corners, a girl stood under the plum tree in front of her. She was only wearing a tulle skirt in the icy and snowy mountains, and she didn't know if she was cold or not.The girl wore a flying bun and stood with her back to him, as if wiping away tears from her cheeks.

The hatred in his heart drove him to move involuntarily, his chest heaving violently.He hated this girl, he only wanted to kill her quickly, and it would not be too much to cramp her bones.

But why does he hate this girl?

Shen Jianli asked himself in the chaos, he didn't remember who he was, why he came here, and who this girl was.It's just that she faintly feels that she shouldn't be killed.But this slight struggle was quickly suppressed, he raised the sword in his hand, and walked towards her at a faster pace.

A few steps closer, the girl heard his footsteps, and suddenly turned around.Strange to say, but he couldn't see the girl's face clearly, he could only vaguely hear her say: "Zi Gu, are you here to kill me?"

"You forced me to kill you!"

The sound was like a thunderbolt, and the girl took two steps back, her voice was tinged with sadness: "Okay, if you don't believe me, I know. It's just that I have something else I want to ask you, otherwise, I won't die." Rest in peace."

Shen Jianli didn't say a word, he seemed to be trapped in this skin, his hands and mouth were not his own.He wanted to open his mouth to speak, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move.He was about to raise his right arm holding the sword, and stab the sword into the girl's heart. Shen Jianli suppressed it desperately, his whole arm trembling violently, but he couldn't suppress it more and more, exhausted.

"Zi Gu," the girl swayed, "tell me, is it me who you love the most?"

"There is always someone in my heart." He paused, "It's not you."

Shen Jianli was finally exhausted and could no longer suppress the strength of his right arm. He watched helplessly as it lifted the sword up to the girl's heart.

run.

Shen Jianli was thinking desperately, only wishing that his movements could be a little slower to give the girl a chance to escape.

Run!

The tip of the sword plunged into the flesh, and then it pierced out from the back of her heart all the way forward.A mouthful of blood spat out from the girl's mouth, all poured on the back of his hand, making him shiver.Another mouthful of blood, mixed with pieces of internal organs, dyed Shen Jianli's gray shirt red.This sword was unusual, as if it had quenched its magic power, it crushed the girl's internal organs into pieces.The girl in front of her was not like an ordinary person, her eyes were blood red, she had two pointed teeth, and the furry thing behind her was like a fox's tail.

"Liu Zigu," the girl recited his name bitterly while vomiting blood, "Liu Zigu."

Shen Jianli twisted his wrist, turning the blade in her heart, and she screamed out of pain.This scream pierced into his brain like a silver needle, which made him wake up from the chaos and see this face clearly.

He recognized this face, with almond eyes and cherry lips, pale complexion, two lines of tears hanging on his cheeks, mixed with blood and flowing down together.Shen Jianli's whole body was trembling, his scalp was numb, he could see clearly, this face was none other than Yue Qiluo!

"Qiluo!"

Shen Jianli suddenly sat up from the bed, sweating profusely, turned over and got out of bed, ran into the courtyard without clothes on, shouted "Qi Luo" incessantly, and knocked on the door of the east wing as if in a daze. Door.

After knocking for a long time, Yue Qiluo rubbed her eyes and opened the door, unexpectedly, she was almost staggered by Shen Jianli when she opened the door.He hurriedly pressed her shoulders, then went to check her pulse and test the temperature of her forehead.After confirming that there was nothing wrong with Yue Qiluo, she breathed a sigh of relief and let go of her hand.

Seeing that Shen Jianli's expression was not right, Yue Qiluo asked him suspiciously: "What's wrong with you?"

"I...I..." Shen Jianli took a few deep breaths, and suddenly felt that he was ridiculous, and then he walked out of the nightmare just now and sat on the threshold, "I just had a nightmare, and I was confused for a while. gone."

"Nightmare?" Yue Qiluo was stunned, "What did you dream about?"

"I dreamed that I killed... a person." Shen Jianli paused, skipping the truth, "I blame myself for not resting well, Qi Luo, I'm bothering you, go back to sleep."

"wait."

But Shen Jianli left as if fleeing, turning a deaf ear to her words, as if he was hiding from something.Yue Qiluo stood in the cold wind for a while, but still couldn't figure it out, so she went back to sleep.

The next morning, Yue Qiluo asked him about his nightmare last night, but he only said that he didn't remember it, and he couldn't find out after asking for a long time.She felt suspicious, and always asked him carefully, but Shen Jianli just pretended that nothing happened, and refused to reveal a word, so she had no choice but to give up pressing and not think about it anymore.

But Shen Jianli became more and more reticent, and even began to lose weight. He always left early and returned late, and sometimes slept in the barracks for several days in a row.When he arrived at Laba, he brought back a bag of various grains and wanted to cook eight-treasure porridge for Yue Qiluo to drink.

There was a hot pot of eight-treasure porridge, but there was too much rock sugar, so bad that even Yue Qiluo couldn't finish a bowl.Neither Shen Jianli nor she is good at cooking, and when they go to the kitchen occasionally, they just deal with it.She drank the unsuccessful pot of eight-treasure porridge, and remembered the eight-treasure porridge Tang Shanhai made for her.He is good at cooking, everything tastes better than others, and he can fry steak. When making sweet bean curd, he even sprinkled sweet-scented osmanthus carefully.The eight-treasure porridge he cooked was also different from others. After drinking porridge for so many years, she never drank the same bowl of porridge back then.

After staying in a daze for a long time, Shen Jianli was no longer at the dining table, and there was a burnt smell in the air.She followed the smell to find Shen Jianli, who was squatting in the courtyard burning something, and the smoke was smoky.Seeing Yue Qiluo coming, she just raised her head and said indifferently: "Are you full?"

Yue Qiluo frowned and said, "Shen Jianli, what are you burning?"

Shen Jianli didn't speak, stood up and stamped out the paper ashes on the ground, walked over and said, "Qi Luo, you are tired, go back to the room and rest."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not tired." Yue Qiluo raised her head and glared at him, "Zhang Xianzong, do you have something to hide from me?"

"Speak," Yue Qiluo panicked, faintly feeling ominous, "You, if you dare to sneak back to the front line, I'll suck your soul out and let you be my puppet!"

These words were angry words, but Shen Jianli didn't answer, just looked at her quietly.Those eyes seemed calm, but they contained too many things, Yue Qiluo couldn't understand them.For a moment, a wave of wavering flashed across his eyes, and he couldn't grasp it in a blink of an eye.

Yue Qiluo looked at it, seeing more and more flowers in front of her eyes, and felt that the world was spinning.She took a few steps back, trying to hold onto something, but couldn't.She barely stood there, pointed at Shen Jianli and said, "Tang Shanhai...you plot against me?"

She was in a daze, and she called Tang Shanhai's name to Shen Jianli.She thought about it in the chaos, and then she remembered that the eyes just now were too similar to Tang Shanhai's. They were the eyes when he tricked her to go to Suzhou seven years ago and locked her in the car.She always fell into Zhang Xianzong's trap, this time, she fell into it again.Her mind became more and more blurred, the scene in front of her turned off the lights, and gradually sank into darkness, sinking slowly.

It was already late at night when Yue Qiluo woke up, it was snowing in Chongqing, and the plum branches were rustling.She called Shen Jianli's name, but there was no answer after calling for an unknown period of time, so she got out of the car with a dizzy body, and stumbled to open the door.Her legs ached so badly in this weather that it was difficult for her to walk on crutches.

"Shen Jianli?" General Tie hung on the door of the west wing, she took a few steps forward, her heart sank, "Shen Jianli!"

The courtyard was silent, and no one answered her.

The author has something to say: I feel like a sinner... big bad guy, alas, guilt.

The writing is very sloppy, it should have been fuller, but it's too sleepy... Wait for me to overhaul it later
