I don't know when the rain stopped.

Sunlight penetrated through the dense canopy of trees that blocked the sky, casting mottled light and shadow in the small fenced courtyard. In the main house, which had been silent for a long time, there was movement again:

Rustling, rustling~

The room looked a little messy, with shoes and robes on the floor.

Ye Jingtang, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion, was lying on the bed. The wounds on his body had disappeared without a trace, and his face had returned to its usual color. However, because his soul was severely injured, he had not yet woken up.

Xue Baijin sat up from the bed silently, with long black hair hanging on his back. There were still some tears in the corners of his eyes, but his expression was a bit dazed. Through the light outside the window, he looked at Ye Jingtang's face, his eyes

Mixed feelings.

Ye Jingtang was indeed a little restless last night, but Xue Baijin was awake from beginning to end.

She didn't want to make the Night Terror Hall too difficult, so she had already made the greatest tolerance. She never thought that she would be bullied by others. After being devastated and having the most important thing taken away from her, the Night Terror Hall not only became unbearable, but also got worse.

Although he was already tortured by pain and couldn't think anymore, he still used those unheard-of moves to torment her. It seemed that he even used Listening to the Wind Palm to follow her feelings...

Xue Baijin had an indifferent and aloof personality. He could not withstand such an impact. He was completely taken away. It didn't take long for him to become confused. He couldn't remember what he said or did, and he didn't know when he ended up sleeping.

At this time, the sky was bright, Xue Baijin woke up faintly, and his spiritual thoughts were withdrawn from the nine heavens.

Looking at the extremely familiar handsome face, Xue Baijin's heart was full of emotions, ranging from sadness and anger to hesitation, but most of all, it was helplessness that was irreversible.

She wanted to give him a night terror to vent her anger, but she knew in her heart that he was suffering too much and could not be beaten to death, so what was the point of hitting him harder?

With the character of this little thief, I am afraid that when he wakes up, he will pester her again and try to apologize to her. What can she do then?

If Qing had no choice but to do such a thing, how would Ning'er view her in the future, and how would Yunli view her...

…

Xue Baijin's heart was so confused that it finally turned into a silent sigh. Without waking up the culprit in front of him, he quietly stood up and wrapped his robe around his body. When he raised his eyes, he saw a shocking red plum dyed on the white robe.

"..."

Xue Baijin's eyes trembled obviously, and hundreds of emotions flooded into his heart. He gritted his teeth and got up and went to the well in the corner of the fence garden. After fetching a bucket of water, he ran to the small kitchen and began to clean the unbearable traces on his body.

Wow~

With the cold well water pouring down on your body and your hands brushing over your chest and waist, you can't help but recall the scenes last night.

Xue Baijin couldn't suppress her emotions at all, and in the end she could only pour ice water on her head. After waiting for a long time, she dried herself, put on white thin pants, and wrapped a bra wrap.

Tear~

Xue Baijin tore off the mark on his robe, went to the courtyard and picked a leaf, and then entered the small house on the right.

The house opposite the kitchen seems to be the place where Beiyun Bian lived when he was a child. He will probably live here for more than a month after autumn every year.

Xue Baijin looked around the room. It could be seen that there were pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the table. The cabinet next to it was also full. There were clean clothes, bandages and wound medicine, and even some seeds of crops. Beiyunbian should have regarded this place as

A safe house in case of emergencies.

After Xue Baijin checked for a while, he took out a new robe from the cabinet. Because he was tall, it fit him well. After changing his clothes, he put the rag into his arms, picked up a black robe and put it on the

On the desk.

Through the window, you can see the sleeping night terror hall in the main room.

Xue Baijin's eyes were complicated, but he finally suppressed it and regained his serious expression. He sat upright in front of the desk, studied ink, spread out the paper, and started writing with a pen.

Swish, swish, swish~

The breeze blows the branches and leaves of the tree crown, making a thin and dense sound, making the small courtyard with a fence feel as quiet as a world away from home.

Xue Baijin sat in an extremely upright posture, but her eyelashes were trembling slightly. After writing the last stroke, she picked up the paper and black robe, returned to the main room and put them on the small table.

Seeing the small card 'Swallow Soul is Immortal' on the table, Xue Baijin picked it up and put it in his sleeve, then looked back at Ye Jingtang who was lying on the bed.

"..."

After stagnating for a long time, Xue Baijin took a deep breath, and with a bit of determination in his eyes, he picked up his mace and walked out of the room, heading towards the beach and Wang Yangxing in the distance...

——

Wow~Wow~

The waves washed over the beach, and as the tree crowns swayed, mottled light and shadow gradually entered the window from the ground and fell on the bed board.

Ye Jingtang, who had forgotten when he fell asleep, frowned slightly under the light and shadow, and then the spiritual thoughts that flew to the sky returned to the body. The physical pain and even the trauma had disappeared, but the pain and powerlessness deep in the mind were still there.

Existence makes people unable to remember when and where they are for a while.

"Uh...huh..."

Ye Jingtang raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. He was confused for a long time before he realized where he was lying and what happened last night.

Recalling the initial struggle, the confusion in the middle, and the final try again, Ye Jingtang suddenly woke up and looked to his side, only to see that there was nothing around him and there was no movement in the yard.

"Tuo Tuo?"

Ye Jingtang's eyes were blank, he looked around, saw the robes and papers on the table, and thought something was wrong in his heart, and turned over them.

"Uh~"

When I suddenly stood up, I felt dizzy in my head, and my ears immediately went deaf.

Ye Jingtang closed his eyes and endured it for a moment before recovering. He quickly got up and got off the ground and ran out the door. As a result, all he could see was the tree crowns that blocked the sky and the sun, the empty fenced courtyard, and the beach in the distance.

Ye Jingtang held the Chilong knife with a cracked handle, staggered outside the fence garden, looked around, and shouted:

"Tuotuo? Baijin?... Madam?"

"I was wrong. I was not clear-headed yesterday and acted impulsively..."

"I know you're here, I'm a little dizzy, uh...I can't do it anymore..."

…

Ye Jingtang said a few words, then sat on the ground, rubbing his forehead and taking a breath.

But after waiting for a long time, the beautiful and kind-hearted Da Tuo Tuo did not appear in front of him.

Ye Jingtang looked up at Siye again, feeling a little panicked. He stood up with a knife in his hand, returned to the main room, picked up the paper from the table and looked at it.

The paper is written with dense and neat handwriting, and what comes to mind is:

When you read this letter, I have already arrived at Shuofeng City. After saying goodbye to Yunli, I will continue to look for the last three pictures. I will not break my promise to you before.

You and Ning'er fell in love with each other and joined the Pingtian Sect. I regard you as a junior and have been helping you sincerely.

But even though you helped me many times, you still refused to change your ways. You harbored evil thoughts toward me and crossed the line between close friends, until you did what you did last night.

I should have hated you, but you were seriously injured and suffered so much. I was too soft-hearted and did not stop thinking about you. This matter is your fault and I will not hold you accountable, but the relationship between you and me

Love ends here.

Now that your strength is superior to mine, you no longer need my help. After leaving this island, I will completely forget what happened last night. I hope you will do the same.

After this separation, I don't want to see each other again for the rest of my life. I just hope you can treat Ning'er and Yunli kindly.

The yard has been checked, and there are clothes and medicines in the room next to it. The leaves of the longevity tree have a very bitter taste, but they are refreshing and should help you recover from your injuries as soon as possible.

If you are hungry, there are fishing gear in the kitchen and fruits in the forest, which can last you a long time...

…

The handwriting is thin and dense, and it is obviously a farewell, but there are a lot of additions at the end, just like an adult who is about to leave home. He is afraid that the people left behind will not have enough food, clothing and warmth, and he can't wait to arrange all the daily food, rice, oil and salt.

Ye Jingtang read the handwriting carefully, sighed softly, folded the paper and put it away, then put on his robe, hung the sword on his waist, and came to the yard.

Although he wanted to turn back and catch up now, Ye Jingtang was in low spirits and it was difficult to walk long distances at the moment. After going out and looking around, he jumped first and slowly climbed up the big tree along the thick tree trunk like a round building, and then

Jump back and forth along the branches.

Swish, swish, swish~

The warm sea breeze blew through the treetops that blocked out the sun, causing a soft sound like the waves. The sword hanging from the waist of Ye Jingtang emerged from the top of the treetops. Because the size contrast was too small, it looked like a small black spot on the treetops from a distance.

In front of the Night Terror Hall are the top branches, with more than a dozen bunches of fruits hanging on them, each bunch containing three to five.

Although there are quite a lot of fruits, the fruits are only the size of plums, round and dark green in color, and they appear to be underripe.

Ye Jingtang didn't know how long it would take for the fruit to mature, so he didn't pick it directly at the moment. He just picked two leaves, put them in his mouth, and sat cross-legged on the crown of the tree.

Just like what was written in Bing Tuo Tuo's letter, the leaves are slightly bitter in the mouth, and then the coolness rushes into the mind, making the ears clear, the eyes clear, the spirit relaxed, and the weakness and fatigue deep in the mind are relieved a lot.

When Ye Jingtang came over last night, he discovered that this place hides wind and gathers water. It is a rare geomantic treasure land in the world.

At this time, I closed my eyes and concentrated on the tree crown, and used the magical power in the eighth picture to carefully perceive. It turned out that when I closed my eyes, I seemed to have entered another world.

The whole world, with the big tree below as the center, felt like countless flying catkins were coming from the surrounding area, and merged into the canopy of the tree that blocked the sky and the sun.

With his eyes closed, he could make up the outline of the entire tree through the veins of 'qi' traveling around, and he himself was like a bright pearl on the crown of the tree.

After Ye Jingtang observed it for a while, his head felt a dull pain again. He then picked off a leaf, put it into his mouth and chewed it, and then started to use the method of Ming Long Tu, breathing in and out, trying to guide the energy to flow into himself.

As a result, the process was smoother than he expected. As he pinched the Ziwu Jue with his hands and fell into concentration, the energy throughout his body seemed to be connected with the heaven and earth. There was something invisible and intangible. As he exhaled and inhaled, it was absorbed into his lungs, warming and nourishing all the meridians of the Ming Long Diagram.

It also relieves the powerlessness deep in the soul.

At first Ye Jingtang meditated and practiced, he felt that he got twice the result with half the effort, but he soon discovered that practicing breathing and breathing in this way was at most faster than Minglongtan. If he wanted to practice to the point where he could master the eighth picture, according to his estimation, it would be much easier.
