Jiangshan wind and rain
Chapter 35)
The night is getting deeper, the moonlight is more bleak, and the bamboo forest seems to be covered with a layer of mist. The deeper you go, the more unreal it feels.
Competing with light skills?Ha, that mouse is addicted.Still remembering what happened last time, Zhan Zhao's mouth slowly curled into a smile, even if you win, you narrow-minded stinky rat!
"Smelly cat, what are you laughing at, are you talking ill of Master Wu in your heart?" A familiar voice came from the front.In a blink of an eye, Bai Yutang walked out with a smile.
Zhan Zhao's cat's eyes widened in an instant, and he was very surprised and said, "Fifth Bai Lord has great powers, you can see it, Zhan admires it."
"Hmph, you look serious on the outside, but you're full of bad things on the inside. My evaluation of you in the past is absolutely correct." Bai Yutang looked up at the sky and blew out a breath through his nostrils.
"Is it even better, Fifth Master Bai?" Zhan Zhao raised his brows, his eyes were provocative.
"Of course there is a comparison!" Bai Yutang said confidently, "For the sake of fairness, I would like to remind you, this cat. Fifth Master, besides my strong swordsmanship and invincible lightness kung fu, I am also proficient in the strange art of dunjia. "The Realm of Sumeru", you are already in the formation at this moment."
Zhan Zhao nodded, his eyes were calm, not surprised.
Bai Yutang continued: "Master Mao is very good at chasing fugitives. You treat me as a fugitive. As long as you catch me, this formation will be broken naturally."
"What if you can't catch it?"
"Ha!" Bai Yutang smiled triumphantly, "Then you can only keep running around in this bamboo forest, playing cat and mouse games, and you will never see your bride again."
"Damn rat, you're ruthless!" Zhan Zhao gritted his teeth.
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows: "Thanks for the compliment, the game begins!"
The white shadow disappeared instantly like the wind.
The fog is thick and thicker, and the clumps of cotton wool float past the eyes, blocking the line of sight and confusing the surrounding scenery. The bamboo forest gradually disappears, replaced by a fog that is too thick to dissolve.Where did that mouse go?
"Brother Bai!" Zhan Zhao shouted loudly.
"I'm here!"
The white shadow flickered, and a piece of clothing flew by, so fast it was unbelievable.Zhan Zhao's body swayed, he raised his breath and chased after him.Chin Maoshu's outstanding lightness kung fu is known to everyone in the world, if there is anyone who can rival him in lightness kung fu, that person must be Nan Xia Zhan Zhao.
It is also Yumao Zhanzhao.When he got this title back then, there was a lot of criticism. In fact, the emperor didn't mean to despise the Jianghu people, but it was misinterpreted by accident, or it was a misunderstanding.His lightness kung fu is outstanding, like a civet cat jumping through a house, serving the royal family, so it was named Yumao.
In an instant, two figures shuttled back and forth in the mist.No matter how advanced the formation is, it is still done by humans, and clues can be found.Zhan Zhao followed Bai Yutang's voice closely, never following the wrong direction.At this moment, he was fully focused, his mind was completely clear, his feeling tentacles stretched to every corner, and with his unusually quick movement, he almost grabbed the corner of the snow-white clothes a few times.But Bai Yutang's side can be said to be full of dangers, but he can always escape at the nick of time.The two were evenly matched, and it was hard to tell the winner. While gnashing their teeth, they both cried out in their hearts.
"Not bad, Mao'er, your qinggong is better than I imagined, and you have never tried your best before." Bai Yutang's voice pierced through the thick fog, like a beam of light, full of vitality, with a slight rise at the end.
"No matter how good it is, I'm still trapped in the formation." The quiet voice came out slowly, "Zhan Zhao can't break through this formation, so I'm willing to bow down. Brother Bai, please withdraw the formation."
"Are you admitting defeat?" Bai Yutang said incredulously, "Nan Xia will also admit defeat?"
"Brother Bai is not an enemy. It's just a competition between friends. If you are inferior to others, of course you have to admit defeat. Besides, it's okay if you don't admit defeat. I really can't break this formation. It's meaningless to spend it."
"It's pointless to spend it all the time. I'm anxious to see the bride." Bai Yutang laughed, "Petty cat, I didn't intend to keep you here forever. Me. Well, I won’t embarrass you, let’s stop here.”
As soon as the words fell, the mist cleared, and Bai Yutang was standing three feet away, still smiling.
"In lightness kung fu alone, you and I are no match. I took advantage of the formation. This was not an absolutely fair competition, so you didn't lose." Bai Yutang gradually put away his laughing attitude, and his expression became serious , "You didn't lose, and I didn't win."
Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "There is no absolute fairness in this world. Just like that time at the bottom of Ningyun Valley, I took advantage of the opportunity."
Bai Yutang nodded, seeming to realize something: "Without absolute fairness, there is no absolute winner or loser."
"So why should Brother Bai care about it?" A cunning flashed in Zhan Zhao's eyes.
Bai Yutang was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Okay, smelly cat, wait for me here! For Sister Yuehua's sake, I'll let you off this time, but remember the cat, Fifth Master I will never end with you for the rest of my life, and I will never give up until I decide whether to win or lose!"
Bai Yutang turned his head and shouted behind him: "Sister Yuehua, come out! Hurry up and bring this cat home!"
The sound echoed and the bamboo leaves rustled, but no one came out.
"Sister Yuehua!" Bai Yutang called out again.
There was still no response, and the moonlight dimmed, making the surroundings even more emptiness.
Bai Yutang frowned, glanced at Zhan Zhao, and immediately walked deep into the bamboo forest.Zhan Zhao panicked for no reason, didn't have time to think, and hurriedly followed.
The quiet bamboo forest permeated this mysterious and chilling atmosphere, and Bai Yutang said as he walked, "This matter is quite weird. It was originally agreed, and Miss Yuehua is waiting in the bamboo forest."
"Look around, don't worry, maybe Yuehua is joking with us." Zhan Zhao said so, but he really didn't know.If it was Ding Yueying who frightened Bai Yutang for this kind of joke, it would not be surprising at all, but Ding Yuehua would not, Zhan Zhao knew his wife well, Ding Yuehua would never have the heart to let others be frightened for him, even if it was just a harmless joke.
"Yuehua——Yuehua—!"
"Sister Yuehua—!"
......
The deeper the line, the more dignified the atmosphere.The two of Zhanbai couldn't help but lighten their steps, and even breathed lightly on purpose. Gradually, a trace of bloody air seemed to penetrate into their noses.
A row of pruning bamboos in front of them was chopped off by Qi Gen, and the traces of the fight were clearly visible.Zhan Zhao's pupils shrank, and he rushed to check carefully, and found that the sword marks were made by Zhan Lu.He caressed the sword marks lightly, as if countless needles as thin as a cow's hair penetrated from his fingertips, reaching directly to the heart veins in an instant.
Raising his head abruptly, anxiety flashed in his usually calm black eyes, Zhan Zhao followed the traces of the fight with his eyes, his legs walked forward instinctively without conscious control, a trace of ominous premonition crawled into his heart.It felt so real, like a weight of lead on my heart, as heavy as suffocation.
Suddenly, a mess broke into the field of vision.A large piece of emerald bamboo fell over, and the fresh emerald green branches were dotted with scarlet red, which hurt the eyes.
Zhan Zhao closed his eyes forcefully, and when he opened them again, his eyes were dark, and the scene he saw was a bit blurry, with a corner of the red wedding dress showing clues among the emerald green.
Zhan Zhao ran two steps and suddenly stopped, Bai Yutang rushed past him, couldn't help but look back at him, then squatted down and gently pushed aside the bamboo branches...
With a pale face, Ding Yuehua's eyes were closed tightly, blood was overflowing from his lips, and he looked lifeless.
"Sister Yuehua..."
Bai Yutang's heart sank, his exclamation stuck in his throat.He hesitated for a moment, but still put his fingers towards Ding Yuehua's nose.Although the result was almost clear when he saw it for the first time, Bai Yutang still hoped that there was still a glimmer of life.
Even if there is only a trace of life...
A glimmer of life is a glimmer of hope, but unfortunately not.The result was just as he had expected, unacceptably cruel.Bai Yutang could clearly feel the aura emanating from the person behind him—deep despair, a sadness that no one else could experience personally, as if the soul had been sucked away, and the flesh and blood were tangled into mud.
Bai Yutang looked up at Zhan Zhao, his eyes were sore, and he couldn't say a word.But needless to say, Zhan Zhao already understood.
Ding Yuehua is dead.His bride, who has left him, will never return.
The tall and straight figure flickered slightly and still stood still, still looking resolute, no different from every time he endured hardships and setbacks in the past, but his heart has turned to ashes.
Zhan Zhao stepped forward step by step, squatted down slowly, and gently embraced his bride into his arms.The blood is still not completely cold, and the warm touch feels as if the person in her arms is not dead, but she is just asleep.Zhan Zhao's eyes suddenly became extremely gentle, just like a lover's eyes, sparkling under the moonlight, folded and broken into pieces... Gently wiped away the blood on the corner of his mouth, Zhan Zhao smiled with satisfaction .
Yuehua, you are clearly asleep...
Seeing the expression on Zhan Zhao's face, Bai Yutang felt chills in his heart.
"Cat, cat..." The eloquent Fifth Master Bai also stuttered.
Zhan Zhao bit his lips until they were pale, his cheeks were tense, and the tears came back to his heart without a single drop.
"Yuehua suffered such a catastrophe, I have to avenge her." Zhan Zhao's voice was very soft, but his tone was extremely firm.
"Of course, that's right, you, you're right." Bai Yutang was taken aback by Zhan Zhao's extremely abnormal state, and he couldn't speak coherently. It took him a while to sort out his thoughts and figure out what he wanted to say.
"Look around for clues and find out who did it first," he said.
"Okay." Zhan Zhao nodded.
So Zhan Zhao put down Ding Yuehua, and together with Bai Yutang searched carefully among the large swaying bamboo branches, not missing a single detail, they wished to dig up every inch of the land, but the result was not satisfactory.Except for bloodstains scattered everywhere, nothing was found, and all the sword marks of varying lengths were left by Zhan Lu, and the opponent seemed to have no weapons in his hands.After searching for a long time, they couldn't even estimate the slightest characteristics of the enemy.
"Ah!" Bai Yutang sat on the ground dejectedly, his chest heaving violently, anger and sadness surged up like a raging tide, tears filled Taohua's eyes, he swore almost collapsed, "Cat, don't worry, Sister Yuehua treats me Just like my own sister, I will never let her die in an unexplained way, if I don't take revenge, Bai Yutang swears not to be human!"
Zhan Zhao was much calmer than Bai Yutang, he stood up straight, his face was stiff, his eyes were deep and black, like frozen jade, without focus.After a long while, he rolled his eyes, locked his gaze on Bai Yutang's face, and said sincerely, "Thank you."
Bai Yutang felt chills all over his body from this stare, like a sharp sword piercing through his heart. He had never seen Zhan Zhao like this before, so he couldn't help being very worried.Bai Yutang suddenly sprang up from the ground, grabbed Zhan Zhao's shoulder, looked deeply into those black eyes, and said with concern: "Cat, cry when you feel uncomfortable, don't bear it like this."
Zhan Zhao trembled, broke free from the hand that was holding his shoulders, and walked slowly to Ding Yuehua's body, his gaze lingered tenderly over and over again, only to hear him say softly, "Yuehua, your soul is not far away, can you tell me what it is? Who hurt you?"
Bai Yutang was stunned when he heard it, and suddenly felt terrified. A gust of wind blew past, just like a ghost crying, and he couldn't help shivering.
The wind brought the broken branches and fallen leaves rustling, Bai Yutang pointed at a piece of soil where the branches and leaves spread out and shouted: "Cat, look here!"
Zhan Zhao looked in the direction he was pointing, and a sharp light suddenly flashed across his eyes.Taking a closer look, the traces carved by Zhanlu's sword tip are clear and profound.
—— Jiuyou Palace.
The moment Zhan Zhao saw these three words, his whole body froze. It was as if these three words were engraved on his heart, successively and carefully drawn, and the blood overflowed his chest.
"Jiuyou Palace? Isn't Jiuyou Palace already disbanded?" Bai Yutang frowned, puzzled.
Zhan Zhao was silent, then suddenly picked up Ding Yuehua's body and left.
"Cat!" Bai Yutang was startled and wanted to stop him.
Zhan Zhao turned a deaf ear to it, showing no intention of stopping.
"Cat, where are you going?!" Bai Yutang shouted anxiously.
"Don't go anywhere, go home." The flat voice was calm, but extremely hoarse.
Bai Yutang vaguely felt that the situation was not right, and was about to follow, when Zhan Zhao's tall and straight figure seemed to lose its support suddenly, without any warning, he fell backwards and fell to the ground with a thud.
People have sorrows and sorrows and joys, and moons have yin and qing, which is difficult to complete.
Nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life, we can only try our best to not grieve for things that are destined to be unchangeable, Zhan Zhao believes that he can do it and has always done it well.But this time is different, the ending is too heavy, how can people bear it!
When Zhan Zhao woke up, he was already lying on the bed in his room. He stared blankly out of the window. It took him a while to realize that Ding Yuehua was gone. Sour and bitter.
The red candles and wedding curtains are removed, and the bright red is replaced by snow white, and the splendid hall becomes a mourning hall overnight.
Silence, terrible silence, almost suffocating.Everything is going on in silence.
After a group of people finished offering incense in front of Ding Yuehua's tablet, Lu Fangfang clasped his fists to Mr. Bao: "Our five brothers will go back to the island first, so we won't bother you here." After saying that, he sighed and shook his head, without further words.
Master Bao also sighed, and didn't hold back, he just said: "Master Lu, take care all the way."
Originally, Bai Yutang would never leave at this time, but Ding Yueying suddenly heard the sad news that her sister was murdered, she was overly sad, this morning she suddenly had abdominal pain, and her two-month-old fetus died.And Ding Yueying's situation is also very critical. After drinking the medicine prescribed by Mr. Gongsun, the bleeding has stopped now, but she wakes up from time to time, and is extremely weak. Therefore, she must immediately return to the empty island to find Mrs. Lu Min Xiuxiu to continue to recuperate.The Ding Heroes are worried about their sister, and decide to go back to Xingkong Island with the Five Rats to live for a few days. After all, one can't come back, and the other will follow.Before leaving, Ding Lao Er cried endlessly at Zhan Zhao with his rotten peach eyes. "How did it become like this?" This sentence was repeated over and over again.
With a pale face, Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to press Ding Zhaohui's shoulder, and a cold sigh came out of his lips: "Yeah, why did it happen like this?..."
The helpless, bloody sigh was a pain in the heart.
Ding Zhaohui saw that Zhan Zhao's eyes flashed the cold light of a weapon, and then quickly sank into the boundless darkness.
The midnight star, the lone star afterglow.
A lonely silhouette under the pale moonlight.
Mr. Gongsun approached slowly, and put the cloak in his hand on the thin shoulders.Zhan Zhao turned his head, pulled the corner of his mouth and called, "Sir..."
Mr. Gongsun said with pity: "Let's take a break, you haven't closed your eyes for two days and one night, if you collapse, who will avenge Yuehua?"
Zhan Zhao's dark eyes were as deep as the endless night sky, looking at Mr. Gongsun's concerned eyes, finally there was a glimmer of life, and he smiled helplessly: "I want to too, but I really can't sleep."
This smile was too glaring and inappropriate, Mr. Gongsun felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and his heart ached all of a sudden.
"Don't worry, sir, Zhan Zhao can hold on. At least... wait until you find your enemy and avenge your blood." He spoke very seriously, which made this sentence sound more solemn, more like a promise .Mr. Gongsun has no reason not to believe it, yes, he will definitely be able to do it, because he is Zhan Zhao.
"Before encoffining, I checked carefully. The wound on Yuehua's shoulder was indeed the Ice Palm from Jiuyou Palace. Bailing is dead, and the martial arts in Jiuyou Palace are above Yuehua's. Except for Mu Ningxue, they are their masters. It's wild and powerful." Mr. Gongsun said.
"Yori Youruo has left Jiuyou Palace long ago and has no whereabouts. Besides, she is a senior, even if she kills, she will do it openly. It is very unlikely that she will use such despicable means to deal with a junior." The former palace lord of Jiuyou Palace always has a respect.
"What about Mu Ningxue?" In fact, Mr. Gongsun didn't think it was Ye Liyou, but he was the confidante of his master, Daoist Qingxu.
"Mu Ningxue?" Zhan Zhao pondered, "I don't think it's her either."
"why?"
"Yuehua and I met her in Xixia before. At that time, she had many phantom killers under her command. It doesn't make sense to go all the way to Da Song to kill people if she doesn't do anything in her own territory."
Mr. Gongsun frowned: "That's true, but if this is the case, who is the murderer? Could it be that Bailing's ghost killed Yuehua?"
Zhan Zhao's eyes flickered, and his face changed suddenly.
"gentlemen!"
"what?"
"What did you say?"
Mr. Gongsun suddenly remembered the relationship between Zhan Zhao and Bai Ling, and thought that what he said just now brought up the sadness of the other party, and he was apologetic in his heart, but Zhan Zhao repeated what he said just now with a solemn expression.
"Sir, you said that it was Ling'er's ghost that killed Yuehua."
"Ah!" Mr. Gongsun reacted, re-examined Zhan Zhao's expression half in shock and half in doubt, trying to see something from it.
Zhan Zhao nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice, "There are no ghosts in this world."
☆, 37. Ice Demon Palm
?There are no ghosts in the world, and there are mediocrities.
Zhan Zhao stood in front of the cold tombstone, letting his thoughts wander.He left here and came back here, and within a few months, everything was different.
The rough lines on the tombstone flowed under the moonlight, like water waves.The northwest in April is no longer so cold, but the wind is strong, and it is even stronger at night, sobbing like someone crying.Zhan Zhao approached slowly, put his hand on the tombstone, and sighed softly: "I should have thought of it earlier, since you didn't die, why did you hide?..."
There was another gust of wind whimpering, Zhan Zhao seemed to sense something, turned around suddenly and saw a pale shadow passing by in front of him.If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would think it was a ghost, but Zhan Zhao had no doubts anymore, and the moment he saw Bai Ying, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Ling'er!"
Bai Ying fixed his body, with snow-white body, long black hair hanging down his waist, Zhan Zhao looked at this familiar figure and said, "You are still alive."
Bai Ling turned around slowly, looked at Zhan Zhao quietly, both of them were emotionally overwhelmed for a moment, unable to say a word.After a while, Bai Ling spoke first.
"Brother Zhan, are you okay?" The voice remained cold as always.
"Not good, very bad." Zhan Zhao stared into Bai Ling's eyes and said word by word, "...Yuehua is dead."
Bai Ling's expression didn't fluctuate at all: "He died under the cold ice palm of Jiuyou Palace."
"It seems that you already know."
"What do you want to say?" Bai Ling said coldly, "Brother Zhan, do you think I killed Sister Yuehua, right?"
"Why do you say that?"
"You can come here and stand in front of me, it already says everything."
"You are not the only one who knows how to icy palm."
"But I'm the most suspicious. Killing people is out of love and hatred, and pretending to be dead is just to avoid being suspected." The cold voice revealed absolute meaning.
"You didn't do the murder. Presumably you pretended to be dead to avoid me. Let me treat you as dead and feel that you can't make up for what you owe. You can only live the rest of your life with regrets." Zhan Zhao suddenly smiled. With a bitter smile, "Ling'er, I never doubted you. You didn't kill Yuehua, I came here to ask you to help me."
A gleam of light flashed across Bai Ling's eyes, with joy in surprise, and it took only a moment for her to return to her usual icy expression.
"Ling'er is already a dead person. If it hadn't been for sister Yuehua's accident, I would have been a dead person forever. It's a pity that the world is impermanent, and it's impossible to pretend to be dead."
Zhan Zhao sighed: "I was the one who got Yuehua into trouble and caused her to die tragically. I can't help her."
Bai Ling was silent for a while and said: "The deceased is dead, no matter how much you blame yourself and be sad, you will never come back. Brother Zhan, we must avenge this blood feud, so as to comfort Sister Yuehua's spirit in heaven."
Zhan Zhao stared at Bai Ling with dark eyes, nodded slowly, "Okay."
Frost Palm is the unique skill of Jiuyou Palace, it has been passed on by the masters of the past generations to the disciples of the sect, because there is no secret book handed down to the world, it is difficult for outsiders to see its situation.When practicing this kind of palm technique, you must cooperate with the exquisite mental technique, step by step, and those who are dull in aptitude or want to practice forcefully in a short time will not escape the bad luck of being possessed by fire, so not everyone in our sect is qualified to practice it. habit.Bai Ling told Zhan Zhao that in the entire Jiuyou Palace, there are only two people who know how to do this kind of palm except herself.Zhan Zhao nodded, needless to say he also knew that those two people were Mu Ningxue and Ye Li Youruo.
But Bai Ling said with certainty that the murderer was someone else.
Zhan Zhao looked over with an inquiring gaze, and Bai Ling said slowly, "This person is not from my family, but he has a close relationship with my family teacher, so he is my uncle." After speaking, he glanced at Zhan Zhao again, "It must be You can guess who he is."
"Yeli Yanxi!" When Zhan Zhao uttered this name, a cold light flashed across his eyes.
Bai Ling nodded, and continued: "After Sister Yuehua's accident, I suspected that he was the murderer. After a secret investigation, it was confirmed that it was him. Brother Zhan, do you know why Ye Liyanxi wanted to kill Sister Yuehua?"
"Because of me." Zhan Zhao's tone was affirmative, "Ye Liyanxi was foolishly loyal to Li Yuanhao, and when Li Yuanhao died, he took revenge with resentment." He looked at Bailing with a hint of sadness in his eyes and said, "In Ye Liyanxi's opinion I am a traitor, and I can only be relieved by killing. Yuehua is innocent, I was the one who brought her down."
Bai Ling's icy voice dispersed in the wind: "I am also a traitor, just watching Li Yuanhao get his nose cut off in front of him, but I am a dead person, Ye Liyanxi can't kill me again, so I just take this money The account will be recorded on the head of Jiuyou Palace."
Zhan Zhao said in a soft voice, "He also took revenge. Killing Yuehua is worse than killing me."
Bai Ling turned her eyes away, she didn't want to see Zhan Zhao's expression, it was beyond the description of the simple word "sad".
In a corner of the bustling city, in an inn with sluggish business, the shopkeeper sleeps behind the counter in a daze, and the voice of the conversation in the guest room is very soft.
After Yin Wushuang and Mu Ningxue left, Bai Ling, who had nowhere to go, stayed in this inn.At this time, she and her senior sister had already settled down, and the remote location of this place was just suitable for hiding. By the way, it could also guard the house for the senior sister and the couple, so that there would be a place to go when they came back someday.
Bai Ling said: "Ye Li Yanxi's martial arts are not what they used to be, and you and I may not be his opponent. After Li Yuanhao's death, he suddenly started to practice evil internal skills, and his progress was rapid. Now he is crazy."
Zhan Zhao was startled when he heard this, and pondered for a moment before saying, "According to what you said, his skill should rank among the top three in today's martial arts world."
Bai Ling's expression became more serious: "I also believe that he is number one in the world."
Zhan Zhao felt unbelievable: "Can it really be so powerful?"
Bai Ling said, "You said the first three, who are the other two seats reserved for?"
"Your master and my master." Zhan Zhao said it as a matter of course.
Bai Ling knew that Zhan Zhao would think so, so she said sternly, "Your master is an outsider, so it doesn't count, and my master, I can say with certainty, is no longer her brother's opponent."
Zhan Zhao was startled, and then sneered: "Look around the world, how many people want to fight for the title of number one in the world, but in the end, the person with the best martial arts in the world is actually a lunatic!"
"Madman, a devil who kills wantonly!" Bai Ling said coldly, "So we must get rid of him, not only to avenge Sister Yuehua, but also to eliminate harm for the whole world."
While talking, the servant girl Xiaodie hurried over with an anxious expression on her face.
"Princess, it's not good!" Xiaodie was Bai Ling's maid when she was the princess of Xixia, and she was always by her side, so she was used to being called princess.
"What's wrong?" Bai Ling asked.
"Princess, you, your tomb was, someone lifted it." The normally articulate little girl stammered.
Bai Ling's complexion changed, and she exchanged a glance with Zhan Zhao: "Go, have a look!"
The three of them left the inn and rushed towards the suburban cemetery.Although Xiaodie is not a disciple of Jiuyou Palace, she does have some martial arts foundation. She has followed Bailing for many years, and her skills are better than ordinary people in the world.At this time, Zhan Zhao and Bai Ling did not push their lightness kung fu to the limit, Xiao Die looked more relaxed by following, and described to Bai Ling how the cemetery was lifted while walking.
"It's the devil, I saw him. I put my hand on the tombstone, and just pushed it like that, and the whole tomb was lifted up. Princess, I'm afraid you can't hide your suspended animation. I slipped away while he wasn't paying attention. Come back, that devil is still laughing wildly there!" Xiaodie saw that Bai Ling and Zhan Zhao were calm, her heart was no longer flustered, and she spoke more coherently.
After Xiaodie finished speaking, Zhan Zhao and Bai Ling didn't speak, and she intuitively felt something was wrong. "Princess..." called out tentatively.
Bai Ling said: "Stupid girl, do you think the devil really didn't notice you? How could it be!"
"Ah?!" Xiaodie couldn't help but stare her eyes round, and her heart that had just calmed down began to tug again.
"He let you go in order to save your life and report back." Zhan Zhao added.
"Princess, let's not go, there must be some conspiracy." Xiaodie quickly suggested.
"Go, why don't you go, since the devil wants to find me, he can't hide for a while, don't tell him to underestimate the people in Jiuyou Palace."
Zhan Zhao said: "What kind of schemes can a lunatic come up with? At this time, Ye Liyanxi is relying on evil skills, which is no better than resourcefulness."
While speaking, they had reached the periphery of the cemetery, and vaguely saw a tall figure in the distance, Bai Ling said in a low voice, "According to circumstances", and the three of them walked over.
Murderous aura, strong murderous aura, the more murderous aura he walked forward.
In the quiet night, in a messy cemetery, there is a compelling air current!
This murderous aura was formed indistinctly, which even dimmed the full moonlight.In an instant, a scream pierced the eardrums, the tall figure turned around, shook his arms violently, bang bang bang bang, several deep pits were added on the ground, and the mud was splashed everywhere.Xiaodie's face changed, what a powerful internal force this must be!
She raised her head and stared at the tall figure.At this time, the screaming sound broke through the sky and clouds again, and Ye Liyanxi pointed at Bai Ling viciously: "Smelly girl, I knew you were pretending to be dead, and you will not come out until I dig your grave!" The voice was extremely hoarse, as if Rusty iron scraped across the rock.Zhan Zhao sighed in his heart, the all-powerful master of Xixia Yipin Hall has indeed become a demon!
"Master Yeli is safe and sound, do you really want me to die?" Bai Ling's tone was cool but calm, "You are my master's elder brother, how can you expect her disciple to die?"
"You are not worthy to be You Ruo's apprentice, Jiuyou Palace is loyal to Da Xia, you are a traitor!"
"Jiuyou Palace is just a sect in Jianghu. It used to be up to the head to decide who to be loyal to. Now that it has been disbanded, why talk about allegiance! My master doesn't care about these things, let alone you."
"Smelly girl, see if I don't tear your mouth apart!" With a loud bang, Bai Ling quickly floated back, and another hole appeared under her feet.
"Don't you just want to avenge Li Yuanhao, a bastard who deserves to die!" Bai Ling sneered.
"How dare you call His Majesty by his first name!" Yeli Yanxi began to growl.
"Why don't you dare, a dead person, I'm afraid of him." The tone was still light and cool.Zhan Zhao was silent while listening, he knew that Bai Ling wanted to provoke Ye Li Yanxi.To irritate him, drive him crazy, only when martial arts are out of order is it easy to have flaws.
Sure enough, Ye Liyanxi's face changed, he let out a hehe breath from his throat, and his clenched hands rattled.
"Master Yeli is very sincere, but you are crazy if you express your heartfeltness to a dead person!" Bai Ling seemed to suddenly think of something, "Ah" and said again, "I almost forgot that you are no longer a wild man!" Sir Li, the emperor is dead, where is my lord, from now on I should call you uncle..."
"Shut up! Shut up!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmh, hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh into bai ling."
Zhan Zhao broke out in a cold sweat instantly, and when the cool wind blew, Ji Lingling shuddered.
Yes, anger and madness can indeed make martial arts out of order.If martial arts are out of order, it is very likely to reveal flaws, but don't forget that if a lunatic uses martial arts out of order, it is like a wild horse that has run amok, regardless of the consequences, and will not hesitate to destroy the world.
Maybe you were torn apart before you found the opening.Zhan Zhao didn't have time to think about it, and rushed to Bai Ling's side to join the battle.Bai Ling had been prepared to dodge the slap to the head just now, but the left cheek was accidentally swept by the palm wind, and a very thin streak of blood slowly seeped out.
Ye Liyanxi missed a move, and in an instant another fierce palm wind swept out, sweeping within three feet.His speed was unbelievably fast, Zhan Zhao was worried that Bai Ling would suffer, so he quickly stretched out his arm to block it, and this palm pressed firmly on his elbow.
Numbness, soreness, and then pain, more and more pain, the feeling of flesh and blood being torn apart.Zhan Zhao's face turned pale in an instant, and one arm hung down weakly.
Ye Liyanxi roared angrily, and under the faint moonlight, a faint blue light flickered on his pale face.Zhan Zhao's eyes were full of surprise, the blocking of himself just now was by no means impulsive and unprepared, he had used [-]% of his internal strength, but now it seemed that one arm was not his own.From numbness to pain and finally back to numbness, pain to extreme numbness.Yeli Yanxi's palm that seemed to be swung at random has such power, Zhan Zhao has never encountered it in many years of wandering in the rivers and lakes, it is hardly a human martial art.It's the devil, the mad devil!
Yeli Yanxi slowly raised his hands in front of his face, with ten fingers straightened, and examined with almost pious eyes.Thin fingers, sharp nails, glowing in the moonlight, like white bones.Suddenly, he made a mysterious gesture, and five pale scratches pierced the dark night with his left and right hands, rushing towards his face like a net woven by lightning.
Bai Ling secretly thought that it was not good, so she also used the same palm technique to strike back, her long and slender fingers were like lustrous white jade, a halo of white light shrouded the lightning.
Frost Palm vs. Frost Palm, Master vs. Madman.Bai Ling can be regarded as a master among masters, but her opponent is a lunatic among masters.
The palm movement is approaching, and a strong wind is blowing.With one finger, Bai Ling mobilized her internal energy to counteract it, and suddenly felt her breath sink slightly.Yeli Yanxi's internal energy is strong and sophisticated, Bai Ling's heart is high and arrogant, he refuses to retreat, his internal breath is activated, he resists fiercely, he feels that his internal organs are about to turn upside down.Seeing that Bai Ling refused to retreat, Ye Liyanxi let out a strange howl, and the cold and gloomy light instantly gathered into a ball, and rushed towards Bai Ling.
"Cough" With a low cough, Bai Ling's face turned pale, the brilliance originally gathered at the edge of the palm fluctuated, became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Zhan Zhao saw that the situation was not good, both himself and Bai Ling were injured, and he would definitely not be able to kill the devil today.While thinking hard about a countermeasure, Bai Ling said in a low voice: "Go quickly, get out of here first." Zhan Zhao understood, and threw out a sleeve arrow with a powerful force.Nan Xia's sleeve arrow is a well-known stunt in the world, even Yeli Yanxi can't catch it easily.If it was in the past, he would not reach out to catch it, but avoid it sideways, but now Ye Liyanxi is a lunatic, at this moment this lunatic is trying to catch the sleeve arrow with two fingers!
With a screeching sound, the sleeve arrow passed through between his fingers, taking away a layer of flesh, Ye Liyanxi groaned in pain, his figure was pulled back quickly, and he staggered a few times before regaining his footing.
"Damn it!" Ye Liyanxi scolded.But the "damn" person has disappeared.
There was a roar of anger, and the gestures of the palms rose and fell, turning the ground into scorched earth.
Zhan Zhao wandered anxiously at the door, trying to go in several times but then stopped.
At this moment, the door opened slightly, Xiaodie slowly poked her head out, seeing that Zhan Zhao hadn't left, she turned around and closed the door behind her.
"How is Ling'er?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"Princess has adjusted her breath by herself, she is fine now, she fell asleep." Xiaodie said.
"She obviously has something to do, so tell me what's wrong?"
"The princess is really fine."
"It's okay? Don't lie to me. It's okay, she will come out and tell me in person. She knows I'm worried, so it's impossible for me to hide behind closed doors." Zhan Zhao was really in a hurry, he felt baffled, and thought for a while to avoid Xiaodie Then went to push the door, "Ling'er!"
He retracted his hand halfway, and felt that it was not very good after all. If Bai Ling really fell asleep, it would be a bit rude to do so.Zhan Zhao turned around, fixed his eyes on Xiaodie, and remained silent for a while.
This look is not cold
Competing with light skills?Ha, that mouse is addicted.Still remembering what happened last time, Zhan Zhao's mouth slowly curled into a smile, even if you win, you narrow-minded stinky rat!
"Smelly cat, what are you laughing at, are you talking ill of Master Wu in your heart?" A familiar voice came from the front.In a blink of an eye, Bai Yutang walked out with a smile.
Zhan Zhao's cat's eyes widened in an instant, and he was very surprised and said, "Fifth Bai Lord has great powers, you can see it, Zhan admires it."
"Hmph, you look serious on the outside, but you're full of bad things on the inside. My evaluation of you in the past is absolutely correct." Bai Yutang looked up at the sky and blew out a breath through his nostrils.
"Is it even better, Fifth Master Bai?" Zhan Zhao raised his brows, his eyes were provocative.
"Of course there is a comparison!" Bai Yutang said confidently, "For the sake of fairness, I would like to remind you, this cat. Fifth Master, besides my strong swordsmanship and invincible lightness kung fu, I am also proficient in the strange art of dunjia. "The Realm of Sumeru", you are already in the formation at this moment."
Zhan Zhao nodded, his eyes were calm, not surprised.
Bai Yutang continued: "Master Mao is very good at chasing fugitives. You treat me as a fugitive. As long as you catch me, this formation will be broken naturally."
"What if you can't catch it?"
"Ha!" Bai Yutang smiled triumphantly, "Then you can only keep running around in this bamboo forest, playing cat and mouse games, and you will never see your bride again."
"Damn rat, you're ruthless!" Zhan Zhao gritted his teeth.
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows: "Thanks for the compliment, the game begins!"
The white shadow disappeared instantly like the wind.
The fog is thick and thicker, and the clumps of cotton wool float past the eyes, blocking the line of sight and confusing the surrounding scenery. The bamboo forest gradually disappears, replaced by a fog that is too thick to dissolve.Where did that mouse go?
"Brother Bai!" Zhan Zhao shouted loudly.
"I'm here!"
The white shadow flickered, and a piece of clothing flew by, so fast it was unbelievable.Zhan Zhao's body swayed, he raised his breath and chased after him.Chin Maoshu's outstanding lightness kung fu is known to everyone in the world, if there is anyone who can rival him in lightness kung fu, that person must be Nan Xia Zhan Zhao.
It is also Yumao Zhanzhao.When he got this title back then, there was a lot of criticism. In fact, the emperor didn't mean to despise the Jianghu people, but it was misinterpreted by accident, or it was a misunderstanding.His lightness kung fu is outstanding, like a civet cat jumping through a house, serving the royal family, so it was named Yumao.
In an instant, two figures shuttled back and forth in the mist.No matter how advanced the formation is, it is still done by humans, and clues can be found.Zhan Zhao followed Bai Yutang's voice closely, never following the wrong direction.At this moment, he was fully focused, his mind was completely clear, his feeling tentacles stretched to every corner, and with his unusually quick movement, he almost grabbed the corner of the snow-white clothes a few times.But Bai Yutang's side can be said to be full of dangers, but he can always escape at the nick of time.The two were evenly matched, and it was hard to tell the winner. While gnashing their teeth, they both cried out in their hearts.
"Not bad, Mao'er, your qinggong is better than I imagined, and you have never tried your best before." Bai Yutang's voice pierced through the thick fog, like a beam of light, full of vitality, with a slight rise at the end.
"No matter how good it is, I'm still trapped in the formation." The quiet voice came out slowly, "Zhan Zhao can't break through this formation, so I'm willing to bow down. Brother Bai, please withdraw the formation."
"Are you admitting defeat?" Bai Yutang said incredulously, "Nan Xia will also admit defeat?"
"Brother Bai is not an enemy. It's just a competition between friends. If you are inferior to others, of course you have to admit defeat. Besides, it's okay if you don't admit defeat. I really can't break this formation. It's meaningless to spend it."
"It's pointless to spend it all the time. I'm anxious to see the bride." Bai Yutang laughed, "Petty cat, I didn't intend to keep you here forever. Me. Well, I won’t embarrass you, let’s stop here.”
As soon as the words fell, the mist cleared, and Bai Yutang was standing three feet away, still smiling.
"In lightness kung fu alone, you and I are no match. I took advantage of the formation. This was not an absolutely fair competition, so you didn't lose." Bai Yutang gradually put away his laughing attitude, and his expression became serious , "You didn't lose, and I didn't win."
Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "There is no absolute fairness in this world. Just like that time at the bottom of Ningyun Valley, I took advantage of the opportunity."
Bai Yutang nodded, seeming to realize something: "Without absolute fairness, there is no absolute winner or loser."
"So why should Brother Bai care about it?" A cunning flashed in Zhan Zhao's eyes.
Bai Yutang was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Okay, smelly cat, wait for me here! For Sister Yuehua's sake, I'll let you off this time, but remember the cat, Fifth Master I will never end with you for the rest of my life, and I will never give up until I decide whether to win or lose!"
Bai Yutang turned his head and shouted behind him: "Sister Yuehua, come out! Hurry up and bring this cat home!"
The sound echoed and the bamboo leaves rustled, but no one came out.
"Sister Yuehua!" Bai Yutang called out again.
There was still no response, and the moonlight dimmed, making the surroundings even more emptiness.
Bai Yutang frowned, glanced at Zhan Zhao, and immediately walked deep into the bamboo forest.Zhan Zhao panicked for no reason, didn't have time to think, and hurriedly followed.
The quiet bamboo forest permeated this mysterious and chilling atmosphere, and Bai Yutang said as he walked, "This matter is quite weird. It was originally agreed, and Miss Yuehua is waiting in the bamboo forest."
"Look around, don't worry, maybe Yuehua is joking with us." Zhan Zhao said so, but he really didn't know.If it was Ding Yueying who frightened Bai Yutang for this kind of joke, it would not be surprising at all, but Ding Yuehua would not, Zhan Zhao knew his wife well, Ding Yuehua would never have the heart to let others be frightened for him, even if it was just a harmless joke.
"Yuehua——Yuehua—!"
"Sister Yuehua—!"
......
The deeper the line, the more dignified the atmosphere.The two of Zhanbai couldn't help but lighten their steps, and even breathed lightly on purpose. Gradually, a trace of bloody air seemed to penetrate into their noses.
A row of pruning bamboos in front of them was chopped off by Qi Gen, and the traces of the fight were clearly visible.Zhan Zhao's pupils shrank, and he rushed to check carefully, and found that the sword marks were made by Zhan Lu.He caressed the sword marks lightly, as if countless needles as thin as a cow's hair penetrated from his fingertips, reaching directly to the heart veins in an instant.
Raising his head abruptly, anxiety flashed in his usually calm black eyes, Zhan Zhao followed the traces of the fight with his eyes, his legs walked forward instinctively without conscious control, a trace of ominous premonition crawled into his heart.It felt so real, like a weight of lead on my heart, as heavy as suffocation.
Suddenly, a mess broke into the field of vision.A large piece of emerald bamboo fell over, and the fresh emerald green branches were dotted with scarlet red, which hurt the eyes.
Zhan Zhao closed his eyes forcefully, and when he opened them again, his eyes were dark, and the scene he saw was a bit blurry, with a corner of the red wedding dress showing clues among the emerald green.
Zhan Zhao ran two steps and suddenly stopped, Bai Yutang rushed past him, couldn't help but look back at him, then squatted down and gently pushed aside the bamboo branches...
With a pale face, Ding Yuehua's eyes were closed tightly, blood was overflowing from his lips, and he looked lifeless.
"Sister Yuehua..."
Bai Yutang's heart sank, his exclamation stuck in his throat.He hesitated for a moment, but still put his fingers towards Ding Yuehua's nose.Although the result was almost clear when he saw it for the first time, Bai Yutang still hoped that there was still a glimmer of life.
Even if there is only a trace of life...
A glimmer of life is a glimmer of hope, but unfortunately not.The result was just as he had expected, unacceptably cruel.Bai Yutang could clearly feel the aura emanating from the person behind him—deep despair, a sadness that no one else could experience personally, as if the soul had been sucked away, and the flesh and blood were tangled into mud.
Bai Yutang looked up at Zhan Zhao, his eyes were sore, and he couldn't say a word.But needless to say, Zhan Zhao already understood.
Ding Yuehua is dead.His bride, who has left him, will never return.
The tall and straight figure flickered slightly and still stood still, still looking resolute, no different from every time he endured hardships and setbacks in the past, but his heart has turned to ashes.
Zhan Zhao stepped forward step by step, squatted down slowly, and gently embraced his bride into his arms.The blood is still not completely cold, and the warm touch feels as if the person in her arms is not dead, but she is just asleep.Zhan Zhao's eyes suddenly became extremely gentle, just like a lover's eyes, sparkling under the moonlight, folded and broken into pieces... Gently wiped away the blood on the corner of his mouth, Zhan Zhao smiled with satisfaction .
Yuehua, you are clearly asleep...
Seeing the expression on Zhan Zhao's face, Bai Yutang felt chills in his heart.
"Cat, cat..." The eloquent Fifth Master Bai also stuttered.
Zhan Zhao bit his lips until they were pale, his cheeks were tense, and the tears came back to his heart without a single drop.
"Yuehua suffered such a catastrophe, I have to avenge her." Zhan Zhao's voice was very soft, but his tone was extremely firm.
"Of course, that's right, you, you're right." Bai Yutang was taken aback by Zhan Zhao's extremely abnormal state, and he couldn't speak coherently. It took him a while to sort out his thoughts and figure out what he wanted to say.
"Look around for clues and find out who did it first," he said.
"Okay." Zhan Zhao nodded.
So Zhan Zhao put down Ding Yuehua, and together with Bai Yutang searched carefully among the large swaying bamboo branches, not missing a single detail, they wished to dig up every inch of the land, but the result was not satisfactory.Except for bloodstains scattered everywhere, nothing was found, and all the sword marks of varying lengths were left by Zhan Lu, and the opponent seemed to have no weapons in his hands.After searching for a long time, they couldn't even estimate the slightest characteristics of the enemy.
"Ah!" Bai Yutang sat on the ground dejectedly, his chest heaving violently, anger and sadness surged up like a raging tide, tears filled Taohua's eyes, he swore almost collapsed, "Cat, don't worry, Sister Yuehua treats me Just like my own sister, I will never let her die in an unexplained way, if I don't take revenge, Bai Yutang swears not to be human!"
Zhan Zhao was much calmer than Bai Yutang, he stood up straight, his face was stiff, his eyes were deep and black, like frozen jade, without focus.After a long while, he rolled his eyes, locked his gaze on Bai Yutang's face, and said sincerely, "Thank you."
Bai Yutang felt chills all over his body from this stare, like a sharp sword piercing through his heart. He had never seen Zhan Zhao like this before, so he couldn't help being very worried.Bai Yutang suddenly sprang up from the ground, grabbed Zhan Zhao's shoulder, looked deeply into those black eyes, and said with concern: "Cat, cry when you feel uncomfortable, don't bear it like this."
Zhan Zhao trembled, broke free from the hand that was holding his shoulders, and walked slowly to Ding Yuehua's body, his gaze lingered tenderly over and over again, only to hear him say softly, "Yuehua, your soul is not far away, can you tell me what it is? Who hurt you?"
Bai Yutang was stunned when he heard it, and suddenly felt terrified. A gust of wind blew past, just like a ghost crying, and he couldn't help shivering.
The wind brought the broken branches and fallen leaves rustling, Bai Yutang pointed at a piece of soil where the branches and leaves spread out and shouted: "Cat, look here!"
Zhan Zhao looked in the direction he was pointing, and a sharp light suddenly flashed across his eyes.Taking a closer look, the traces carved by Zhanlu's sword tip are clear and profound.
—— Jiuyou Palace.
The moment Zhan Zhao saw these three words, his whole body froze. It was as if these three words were engraved on his heart, successively and carefully drawn, and the blood overflowed his chest.
"Jiuyou Palace? Isn't Jiuyou Palace already disbanded?" Bai Yutang frowned, puzzled.
Zhan Zhao was silent, then suddenly picked up Ding Yuehua's body and left.
"Cat!" Bai Yutang was startled and wanted to stop him.
Zhan Zhao turned a deaf ear to it, showing no intention of stopping.
"Cat, where are you going?!" Bai Yutang shouted anxiously.
"Don't go anywhere, go home." The flat voice was calm, but extremely hoarse.
Bai Yutang vaguely felt that the situation was not right, and was about to follow, when Zhan Zhao's tall and straight figure seemed to lose its support suddenly, without any warning, he fell backwards and fell to the ground with a thud.
People have sorrows and sorrows and joys, and moons have yin and qing, which is difficult to complete.
Nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life, we can only try our best to not grieve for things that are destined to be unchangeable, Zhan Zhao believes that he can do it and has always done it well.But this time is different, the ending is too heavy, how can people bear it!
When Zhan Zhao woke up, he was already lying on the bed in his room. He stared blankly out of the window. It took him a while to realize that Ding Yuehua was gone. Sour and bitter.
The red candles and wedding curtains are removed, and the bright red is replaced by snow white, and the splendid hall becomes a mourning hall overnight.
Silence, terrible silence, almost suffocating.Everything is going on in silence.
After a group of people finished offering incense in front of Ding Yuehua's tablet, Lu Fangfang clasped his fists to Mr. Bao: "Our five brothers will go back to the island first, so we won't bother you here." After saying that, he sighed and shook his head, without further words.
Master Bao also sighed, and didn't hold back, he just said: "Master Lu, take care all the way."
Originally, Bai Yutang would never leave at this time, but Ding Yueying suddenly heard the sad news that her sister was murdered, she was overly sad, this morning she suddenly had abdominal pain, and her two-month-old fetus died.And Ding Yueying's situation is also very critical. After drinking the medicine prescribed by Mr. Gongsun, the bleeding has stopped now, but she wakes up from time to time, and is extremely weak. Therefore, she must immediately return to the empty island to find Mrs. Lu Min Xiuxiu to continue to recuperate.The Ding Heroes are worried about their sister, and decide to go back to Xingkong Island with the Five Rats to live for a few days. After all, one can't come back, and the other will follow.Before leaving, Ding Lao Er cried endlessly at Zhan Zhao with his rotten peach eyes. "How did it become like this?" This sentence was repeated over and over again.
With a pale face, Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to press Ding Zhaohui's shoulder, and a cold sigh came out of his lips: "Yeah, why did it happen like this?..."
The helpless, bloody sigh was a pain in the heart.
Ding Zhaohui saw that Zhan Zhao's eyes flashed the cold light of a weapon, and then quickly sank into the boundless darkness.
The midnight star, the lone star afterglow.
A lonely silhouette under the pale moonlight.
Mr. Gongsun approached slowly, and put the cloak in his hand on the thin shoulders.Zhan Zhao turned his head, pulled the corner of his mouth and called, "Sir..."
Mr. Gongsun said with pity: "Let's take a break, you haven't closed your eyes for two days and one night, if you collapse, who will avenge Yuehua?"
Zhan Zhao's dark eyes were as deep as the endless night sky, looking at Mr. Gongsun's concerned eyes, finally there was a glimmer of life, and he smiled helplessly: "I want to too, but I really can't sleep."
This smile was too glaring and inappropriate, Mr. Gongsun felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and his heart ached all of a sudden.
"Don't worry, sir, Zhan Zhao can hold on. At least... wait until you find your enemy and avenge your blood." He spoke very seriously, which made this sentence sound more solemn, more like a promise .Mr. Gongsun has no reason not to believe it, yes, he will definitely be able to do it, because he is Zhan Zhao.
"Before encoffining, I checked carefully. The wound on Yuehua's shoulder was indeed the Ice Palm from Jiuyou Palace. Bailing is dead, and the martial arts in Jiuyou Palace are above Yuehua's. Except for Mu Ningxue, they are their masters. It's wild and powerful." Mr. Gongsun said.
"Yori Youruo has left Jiuyou Palace long ago and has no whereabouts. Besides, she is a senior, even if she kills, she will do it openly. It is very unlikely that she will use such despicable means to deal with a junior." The former palace lord of Jiuyou Palace always has a respect.
"What about Mu Ningxue?" In fact, Mr. Gongsun didn't think it was Ye Liyou, but he was the confidante of his master, Daoist Qingxu.
"Mu Ningxue?" Zhan Zhao pondered, "I don't think it's her either."
"why?"
"Yuehua and I met her in Xixia before. At that time, she had many phantom killers under her command. It doesn't make sense to go all the way to Da Song to kill people if she doesn't do anything in her own territory."
Mr. Gongsun frowned: "That's true, but if this is the case, who is the murderer? Could it be that Bailing's ghost killed Yuehua?"
Zhan Zhao's eyes flickered, and his face changed suddenly.
"gentlemen!"
"what?"
"What did you say?"
Mr. Gongsun suddenly remembered the relationship between Zhan Zhao and Bai Ling, and thought that what he said just now brought up the sadness of the other party, and he was apologetic in his heart, but Zhan Zhao repeated what he said just now with a solemn expression.
"Sir, you said that it was Ling'er's ghost that killed Yuehua."
"Ah!" Mr. Gongsun reacted, re-examined Zhan Zhao's expression half in shock and half in doubt, trying to see something from it.
Zhan Zhao nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice, "There are no ghosts in this world."
☆, 37. Ice Demon Palm
?There are no ghosts in the world, and there are mediocrities.
Zhan Zhao stood in front of the cold tombstone, letting his thoughts wander.He left here and came back here, and within a few months, everything was different.
The rough lines on the tombstone flowed under the moonlight, like water waves.The northwest in April is no longer so cold, but the wind is strong, and it is even stronger at night, sobbing like someone crying.Zhan Zhao approached slowly, put his hand on the tombstone, and sighed softly: "I should have thought of it earlier, since you didn't die, why did you hide?..."
There was another gust of wind whimpering, Zhan Zhao seemed to sense something, turned around suddenly and saw a pale shadow passing by in front of him.If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would think it was a ghost, but Zhan Zhao had no doubts anymore, and the moment he saw Bai Ying, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Ling'er!"
Bai Ying fixed his body, with snow-white body, long black hair hanging down his waist, Zhan Zhao looked at this familiar figure and said, "You are still alive."
Bai Ling turned around slowly, looked at Zhan Zhao quietly, both of them were emotionally overwhelmed for a moment, unable to say a word.After a while, Bai Ling spoke first.
"Brother Zhan, are you okay?" The voice remained cold as always.
"Not good, very bad." Zhan Zhao stared into Bai Ling's eyes and said word by word, "...Yuehua is dead."
Bai Ling's expression didn't fluctuate at all: "He died under the cold ice palm of Jiuyou Palace."
"It seems that you already know."
"What do you want to say?" Bai Ling said coldly, "Brother Zhan, do you think I killed Sister Yuehua, right?"
"Why do you say that?"
"You can come here and stand in front of me, it already says everything."
"You are not the only one who knows how to icy palm."
"But I'm the most suspicious. Killing people is out of love and hatred, and pretending to be dead is just to avoid being suspected." The cold voice revealed absolute meaning.
"You didn't do the murder. Presumably you pretended to be dead to avoid me. Let me treat you as dead and feel that you can't make up for what you owe. You can only live the rest of your life with regrets." Zhan Zhao suddenly smiled. With a bitter smile, "Ling'er, I never doubted you. You didn't kill Yuehua, I came here to ask you to help me."
A gleam of light flashed across Bai Ling's eyes, with joy in surprise, and it took only a moment for her to return to her usual icy expression.
"Ling'er is already a dead person. If it hadn't been for sister Yuehua's accident, I would have been a dead person forever. It's a pity that the world is impermanent, and it's impossible to pretend to be dead."
Zhan Zhao sighed: "I was the one who got Yuehua into trouble and caused her to die tragically. I can't help her."
Bai Ling was silent for a while and said: "The deceased is dead, no matter how much you blame yourself and be sad, you will never come back. Brother Zhan, we must avenge this blood feud, so as to comfort Sister Yuehua's spirit in heaven."
Zhan Zhao stared at Bai Ling with dark eyes, nodded slowly, "Okay."
Frost Palm is the unique skill of Jiuyou Palace, it has been passed on by the masters of the past generations to the disciples of the sect, because there is no secret book handed down to the world, it is difficult for outsiders to see its situation.When practicing this kind of palm technique, you must cooperate with the exquisite mental technique, step by step, and those who are dull in aptitude or want to practice forcefully in a short time will not escape the bad luck of being possessed by fire, so not everyone in our sect is qualified to practice it. habit.Bai Ling told Zhan Zhao that in the entire Jiuyou Palace, there are only two people who know how to do this kind of palm except herself.Zhan Zhao nodded, needless to say he also knew that those two people were Mu Ningxue and Ye Li Youruo.
But Bai Ling said with certainty that the murderer was someone else.
Zhan Zhao looked over with an inquiring gaze, and Bai Ling said slowly, "This person is not from my family, but he has a close relationship with my family teacher, so he is my uncle." After speaking, he glanced at Zhan Zhao again, "It must be You can guess who he is."
"Yeli Yanxi!" When Zhan Zhao uttered this name, a cold light flashed across his eyes.
Bai Ling nodded, and continued: "After Sister Yuehua's accident, I suspected that he was the murderer. After a secret investigation, it was confirmed that it was him. Brother Zhan, do you know why Ye Liyanxi wanted to kill Sister Yuehua?"
"Because of me." Zhan Zhao's tone was affirmative, "Ye Liyanxi was foolishly loyal to Li Yuanhao, and when Li Yuanhao died, he took revenge with resentment." He looked at Bailing with a hint of sadness in his eyes and said, "In Ye Liyanxi's opinion I am a traitor, and I can only be relieved by killing. Yuehua is innocent, I was the one who brought her down."
Bai Ling's icy voice dispersed in the wind: "I am also a traitor, just watching Li Yuanhao get his nose cut off in front of him, but I am a dead person, Ye Liyanxi can't kill me again, so I just take this money The account will be recorded on the head of Jiuyou Palace."
Zhan Zhao said in a soft voice, "He also took revenge. Killing Yuehua is worse than killing me."
Bai Ling turned her eyes away, she didn't want to see Zhan Zhao's expression, it was beyond the description of the simple word "sad".
In a corner of the bustling city, in an inn with sluggish business, the shopkeeper sleeps behind the counter in a daze, and the voice of the conversation in the guest room is very soft.
After Yin Wushuang and Mu Ningxue left, Bai Ling, who had nowhere to go, stayed in this inn.At this time, she and her senior sister had already settled down, and the remote location of this place was just suitable for hiding. By the way, it could also guard the house for the senior sister and the couple, so that there would be a place to go when they came back someday.
Bai Ling said: "Ye Li Yanxi's martial arts are not what they used to be, and you and I may not be his opponent. After Li Yuanhao's death, he suddenly started to practice evil internal skills, and his progress was rapid. Now he is crazy."
Zhan Zhao was startled when he heard this, and pondered for a moment before saying, "According to what you said, his skill should rank among the top three in today's martial arts world."
Bai Ling's expression became more serious: "I also believe that he is number one in the world."
Zhan Zhao felt unbelievable: "Can it really be so powerful?"
Bai Ling said, "You said the first three, who are the other two seats reserved for?"
"Your master and my master." Zhan Zhao said it as a matter of course.
Bai Ling knew that Zhan Zhao would think so, so she said sternly, "Your master is an outsider, so it doesn't count, and my master, I can say with certainty, is no longer her brother's opponent."
Zhan Zhao was startled, and then sneered: "Look around the world, how many people want to fight for the title of number one in the world, but in the end, the person with the best martial arts in the world is actually a lunatic!"
"Madman, a devil who kills wantonly!" Bai Ling said coldly, "So we must get rid of him, not only to avenge Sister Yuehua, but also to eliminate harm for the whole world."
While talking, the servant girl Xiaodie hurried over with an anxious expression on her face.
"Princess, it's not good!" Xiaodie was Bai Ling's maid when she was the princess of Xixia, and she was always by her side, so she was used to being called princess.
"What's wrong?" Bai Ling asked.
"Princess, you, your tomb was, someone lifted it." The normally articulate little girl stammered.
Bai Ling's complexion changed, and she exchanged a glance with Zhan Zhao: "Go, have a look!"
The three of them left the inn and rushed towards the suburban cemetery.Although Xiaodie is not a disciple of Jiuyou Palace, she does have some martial arts foundation. She has followed Bailing for many years, and her skills are better than ordinary people in the world.At this time, Zhan Zhao and Bai Ling did not push their lightness kung fu to the limit, Xiao Die looked more relaxed by following, and described to Bai Ling how the cemetery was lifted while walking.
"It's the devil, I saw him. I put my hand on the tombstone, and just pushed it like that, and the whole tomb was lifted up. Princess, I'm afraid you can't hide your suspended animation. I slipped away while he wasn't paying attention. Come back, that devil is still laughing wildly there!" Xiaodie saw that Bai Ling and Zhan Zhao were calm, her heart was no longer flustered, and she spoke more coherently.
After Xiaodie finished speaking, Zhan Zhao and Bai Ling didn't speak, and she intuitively felt something was wrong. "Princess..." called out tentatively.
Bai Ling said: "Stupid girl, do you think the devil really didn't notice you? How could it be!"
"Ah?!" Xiaodie couldn't help but stare her eyes round, and her heart that had just calmed down began to tug again.
"He let you go in order to save your life and report back." Zhan Zhao added.
"Princess, let's not go, there must be some conspiracy." Xiaodie quickly suggested.
"Go, why don't you go, since the devil wants to find me, he can't hide for a while, don't tell him to underestimate the people in Jiuyou Palace."
Zhan Zhao said: "What kind of schemes can a lunatic come up with? At this time, Ye Liyanxi is relying on evil skills, which is no better than resourcefulness."
While speaking, they had reached the periphery of the cemetery, and vaguely saw a tall figure in the distance, Bai Ling said in a low voice, "According to circumstances", and the three of them walked over.
Murderous aura, strong murderous aura, the more murderous aura he walked forward.
In the quiet night, in a messy cemetery, there is a compelling air current!
This murderous aura was formed indistinctly, which even dimmed the full moonlight.In an instant, a scream pierced the eardrums, the tall figure turned around, shook his arms violently, bang bang bang bang, several deep pits were added on the ground, and the mud was splashed everywhere.Xiaodie's face changed, what a powerful internal force this must be!
She raised her head and stared at the tall figure.At this time, the screaming sound broke through the sky and clouds again, and Ye Liyanxi pointed at Bai Ling viciously: "Smelly girl, I knew you were pretending to be dead, and you will not come out until I dig your grave!" The voice was extremely hoarse, as if Rusty iron scraped across the rock.Zhan Zhao sighed in his heart, the all-powerful master of Xixia Yipin Hall has indeed become a demon!
"Master Yeli is safe and sound, do you really want me to die?" Bai Ling's tone was cool but calm, "You are my master's elder brother, how can you expect her disciple to die?"
"You are not worthy to be You Ruo's apprentice, Jiuyou Palace is loyal to Da Xia, you are a traitor!"
"Jiuyou Palace is just a sect in Jianghu. It used to be up to the head to decide who to be loyal to. Now that it has been disbanded, why talk about allegiance! My master doesn't care about these things, let alone you."
"Smelly girl, see if I don't tear your mouth apart!" With a loud bang, Bai Ling quickly floated back, and another hole appeared under her feet.
"Don't you just want to avenge Li Yuanhao, a bastard who deserves to die!" Bai Ling sneered.
"How dare you call His Majesty by his first name!" Yeli Yanxi began to growl.
"Why don't you dare, a dead person, I'm afraid of him." The tone was still light and cool.Zhan Zhao was silent while listening, he knew that Bai Ling wanted to provoke Ye Li Yanxi.To irritate him, drive him crazy, only when martial arts are out of order is it easy to have flaws.
Sure enough, Ye Liyanxi's face changed, he let out a hehe breath from his throat, and his clenched hands rattled.
"Master Yeli is very sincere, but you are crazy if you express your heartfeltness to a dead person!" Bai Ling seemed to suddenly think of something, "Ah" and said again, "I almost forgot that you are no longer a wild man!" Sir Li, the emperor is dead, where is my lord, from now on I should call you uncle..."
"Shut up! Shut up!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmh, hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh into bai ling."
Zhan Zhao broke out in a cold sweat instantly, and when the cool wind blew, Ji Lingling shuddered.
Yes, anger and madness can indeed make martial arts out of order.If martial arts are out of order, it is very likely to reveal flaws, but don't forget that if a lunatic uses martial arts out of order, it is like a wild horse that has run amok, regardless of the consequences, and will not hesitate to destroy the world.
Maybe you were torn apart before you found the opening.Zhan Zhao didn't have time to think about it, and rushed to Bai Ling's side to join the battle.Bai Ling had been prepared to dodge the slap to the head just now, but the left cheek was accidentally swept by the palm wind, and a very thin streak of blood slowly seeped out.
Ye Liyanxi missed a move, and in an instant another fierce palm wind swept out, sweeping within three feet.His speed was unbelievably fast, Zhan Zhao was worried that Bai Ling would suffer, so he quickly stretched out his arm to block it, and this palm pressed firmly on his elbow.
Numbness, soreness, and then pain, more and more pain, the feeling of flesh and blood being torn apart.Zhan Zhao's face turned pale in an instant, and one arm hung down weakly.
Ye Liyanxi roared angrily, and under the faint moonlight, a faint blue light flickered on his pale face.Zhan Zhao's eyes were full of surprise, the blocking of himself just now was by no means impulsive and unprepared, he had used [-]% of his internal strength, but now it seemed that one arm was not his own.From numbness to pain and finally back to numbness, pain to extreme numbness.Yeli Yanxi's palm that seemed to be swung at random has such power, Zhan Zhao has never encountered it in many years of wandering in the rivers and lakes, it is hardly a human martial art.It's the devil, the mad devil!
Yeli Yanxi slowly raised his hands in front of his face, with ten fingers straightened, and examined with almost pious eyes.Thin fingers, sharp nails, glowing in the moonlight, like white bones.Suddenly, he made a mysterious gesture, and five pale scratches pierced the dark night with his left and right hands, rushing towards his face like a net woven by lightning.
Bai Ling secretly thought that it was not good, so she also used the same palm technique to strike back, her long and slender fingers were like lustrous white jade, a halo of white light shrouded the lightning.
Frost Palm vs. Frost Palm, Master vs. Madman.Bai Ling can be regarded as a master among masters, but her opponent is a lunatic among masters.
The palm movement is approaching, and a strong wind is blowing.With one finger, Bai Ling mobilized her internal energy to counteract it, and suddenly felt her breath sink slightly.Yeli Yanxi's internal energy is strong and sophisticated, Bai Ling's heart is high and arrogant, he refuses to retreat, his internal breath is activated, he resists fiercely, he feels that his internal organs are about to turn upside down.Seeing that Bai Ling refused to retreat, Ye Liyanxi let out a strange howl, and the cold and gloomy light instantly gathered into a ball, and rushed towards Bai Ling.
"Cough" With a low cough, Bai Ling's face turned pale, the brilliance originally gathered at the edge of the palm fluctuated, became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Zhan Zhao saw that the situation was not good, both himself and Bai Ling were injured, and he would definitely not be able to kill the devil today.While thinking hard about a countermeasure, Bai Ling said in a low voice: "Go quickly, get out of here first." Zhan Zhao understood, and threw out a sleeve arrow with a powerful force.Nan Xia's sleeve arrow is a well-known stunt in the world, even Yeli Yanxi can't catch it easily.If it was in the past, he would not reach out to catch it, but avoid it sideways, but now Ye Liyanxi is a lunatic, at this moment this lunatic is trying to catch the sleeve arrow with two fingers!
With a screeching sound, the sleeve arrow passed through between his fingers, taking away a layer of flesh, Ye Liyanxi groaned in pain, his figure was pulled back quickly, and he staggered a few times before regaining his footing.
"Damn it!" Ye Liyanxi scolded.But the "damn" person has disappeared.
There was a roar of anger, and the gestures of the palms rose and fell, turning the ground into scorched earth.
Zhan Zhao wandered anxiously at the door, trying to go in several times but then stopped.
At this moment, the door opened slightly, Xiaodie slowly poked her head out, seeing that Zhan Zhao hadn't left, she turned around and closed the door behind her.
"How is Ling'er?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"Princess has adjusted her breath by herself, she is fine now, she fell asleep." Xiaodie said.
"She obviously has something to do, so tell me what's wrong?"
"The princess is really fine."
"It's okay? Don't lie to me. It's okay, she will come out and tell me in person. She knows I'm worried, so it's impossible for me to hide behind closed doors." Zhan Zhao was really in a hurry, he felt baffled, and thought for a while to avoid Xiaodie Then went to push the door, "Ling'er!"
He retracted his hand halfway, and felt that it was not very good after all. If Bai Ling really fell asleep, it would be a bit rude to do so.Zhan Zhao turned around, fixed his eyes on Xiaodie, and remained silent for a while.
