late at night.

Qingyun Mountain, Xiaozhu Peak.

The sky was dark, there was no moon or starlight, and boundless darkness shrouded Xiaozhu Peak. Lu Xueqi, dressed in white, stood alone on the moon platform at the back of Xiaozhu Peak.

The Moon Watching Platform here is actually the most famous place on Xiaozhu Peak. Together with the "Sea of ​​Clouds" and "Hong Kong Bridge" on Qingyun Mountain's Tongtian Peak, "Moon Watching" is one of the six scenic spots in Qingyun Mountain.

The mountain behind Xiaozhu Peak is also covered with dense bamboo forests, but unlike the "black knot bamboo" on the mountain behind Dazhu Peak, Xiaozhu Peak is rich in another strange bamboo - tear bamboo. This bamboo is emerald green in color and has a thin body.

It is as long as ordinary bamboo and has nearly twice as many joints as ordinary bamboo. However, the bamboo is extremely tough and is known as the best in the world. Even ordinary woodcutter cannot cut it. But the most famous thing about the tear bamboo is the emerald green body of the bamboo.

There are little pink spots all over it, like the sad tears of a gentle woman, it is extremely beautiful.

The origin of the name Xiaozhufeng also comes from this.

As for the moon-watching platform, it is actually a cliff hanging alone in mid-air. Except for the back half, which is connected to the mountain, most of it is suspended high in the sky. It is said that on a bright moon night, the moonlight will slowly rise from the bottom of the mountain and slowly climb up to watch the moon.

The moon-watching platform is completely illuminated by moonlight, and it is also when the moon is in the sky.

The most beautiful time of the moon-watching platform is that at that time, the clear moonlight will suddenly shine down brilliantly, shooting backwards from the smooth rock of the moon-watching platform, illuminating the entire Xiaozhu Peak in an instant.

People standing on the moon-watching platform at that moment almost felt as if they were standing in a fairyland; what's more, it is said that on the night of the full moon, which only appeared once every sixty years, people would actually feel like they were standing on the bright moon.

The excitement of that feeling is truly endlessly exciting.

However, the moon is dark and the wind is high tonight, so it is obviously not the time to appreciate the beautiful view of the moon. Not to mention the moon viewing platform on the back mountain of Xiaozhu Peak, even the place where the disciples from the front mountain live is in darkness. It is obvious that everyone has already fallen asleep.

Only Lu Xueqi somehow managed to come to this lonely and deserted place alone.

Tianya, who never leaves her body, is still behind her, gently emitting a soft blue light in the darkness, illuminating some places around her. The night wind blows coldly, blowing her clothes as white as snow, gently blowing them away.

move.

On her temples, there were a few strands of soft hair, which were messed up by the wind and brushed against her fair face. However, she didn't seem to pay attention at all. She stood silently at the front of the cliff of the viewing platform, staring blankly into the distance.

.

The mountain wind gradually became stronger, and her clothes began to flutter in the wind.

If you go one step further, you will see darkness and an abyss.

On the edge of the cliff, in the dim light, the woman in white stood alone.

Little by little, something emerged in my heart. It was originally a gentle feeling, but how could it slowly turn into sadness.

One after another, like an invisible blade, it stabbed deeply into my heart.

The traces engraved deep in my heart turned out to be a person's face.

Lovesickness, deep-rooted...

She slowly opened her arms in a quiet and deserted place in the dark of night. In front of her was boundless darkness, as if the world was vast.

The wind was so strong that it rushed into her arms as if to tear her apart, and the darkness under her feet was suddenly ready to move. Dark hands stretched out from unknown places, wrapped around her body, and wanted to pull her into the abyss.

But she seemed to be crazy, just staring silently, the wind blowing her thin and fragile body at the moment, like a lily blooming in the dark.

The night is deep.

The inexplicable cold penetrated every skin of the body, except for the mind. Only the mind was suddenly hot. The tenderness hidden deep in the heart suddenly burst out like a burning flame, and then condensed into -

—

A face.

"Changlang..."

A sharp sound suddenly sounded in the dark night and echoed far away.

The Divine Sword of Tianya was unsheathed, blooming brilliantly in the darkness. The white figure then rose up and caught Tianya in mid-air. The sharp mountain wind suddenly swept up, and accompanied by the white figure, on the moon-watching platform

, began an incredibly beautiful sword dance.

The autumn water falls like a long sky, turning into the boundless Milky Way, moving gracefully in the slender hands, flowing happily in the dark night. Sometimes it rises to the sky, sometimes falls to the ground, sometimes it turns into a silver-clad streamer, nostalgic for that peerless face; sometimes it scatters into stars all over the sky, shining.

Shine.

Lu Xueqi was on the moon-gazing platform, biting her lip deeply and closing her eyes. Her body seemed to be floating in the wind, like fluffy catkins or cold flowers, dancing out the sad and beautiful figure in this world.

She turned into white floating light, exhausted all her strength, her face was so pale, as if she could still see faint beads of sweat, but she didn't stop, maybe she could forget everything only when her body was tired!

So she danced, danced, and that figure in the night was faint and beautiful...

"Ding!"

With a soft crisp sound, the Tianya Divine Sword slowly fell from the hand. The sharp blade ignored the hard rock and pierced into the stone silently like stabbing snow.

The brilliant and beautiful white figure gradually lowered itself, and darkness quietly surged up.

Who is breathing low in the dark?

There are water drops, dripping gently and falling on the stones. Maybe they are sweat after fatigue?

She panted lightly, panting, and then slowly calmed down, her eyes raised, but there was a hint of confusion.

At some point, she danced to the back of the moon-watching platform. There was a bamboo forest in front of her, and in front of her was the slender and gentle tear bamboo.

Under the dim light, little by little tears appeared, like a heartbroken woman.

She stared blankly, and then suddenly laughed, silently, as if with a bit of bitterness, and then she ignored the dust on the ground and her white clothes, and sat on the ground with her back against the Tears Bamboo.

Look up and look at the sky!

The sky is endless...

The night wind blows, and there seems to be a faint familiar smell.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

It turns out that after being tired, the look in my heart is even more profound.

The past events, bit by bit, seem to be engraved in my heart and can never be erased.

Just like that day outside the Emperor's Treasury, he impulsively took her hand to save her, completely forgetting his own danger.

She still had her eyes closed, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Then, thinking, thinking...

It wasn't until I thought of the mysterious words that appeared flying around them at that last moment that I realized that those words were actually deeply engraved in my mind. Maybe, this can help them forget about him?

She said this to her deep heart. Although she didn't believe it herself, she still whispered in her mouth:

"Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs..."

In the middle of the night, the ancient words were like a curse, echoing lowly in the darkness.

※※※

Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Mountain, the ancestral hall of the ancestors.

The light in the main hall was still a little dim as usual. Master Daoxuan, the master, held three pillars of fragrance in his hands. He respectfully paid homage to the souls of countless ancestors, then took a step forward and placed the sandalwood in his hand on the altar table.

in the incense burner.

Next to him, there was only the down-and-out old man who took care of the ancestral temple. The dim light shone on his face, and the deep wrinkles seemed to be carved on his face.

Daoxuan turned his head, his eyes fell on his face, and suddenly said: "You seem to be looking a bit older."

The old man had no expression on his face and said calmly: "Time makes people grow older. Is there anything strange about it?"

Dao Xuan smiled and seemed to want to say something. Suddenly, a voice came from outside the ancestral hall: "Senior, disciple Lin Jingyu is back and comes to say hello to senior."

Daoxuan frowned slightly and remained silent. The old man slowly took a step forward, but did not leave the ancestral hall. He only raised his voice and said, "It's you. When did you come back?"

Lin Jingyu said respectfully outside: "The disciple came back the day before. After reporting to the leader, he went back to Longshou Peak to meet the first senior brother. As soon as he had time, he came over to pay homage to the senior."

There seemed to be a faint smile on the old man's lips, and he said: "Oh, that's it. Then wait outside for a moment, I have a guest here."

Lin Jingyu seemed to be stunned for a moment outside. In the past, no one came to this ancestral hall. Unexpectedly, there were still guests today. However, he had practiced under this mysterious old man for ten years and already respected him as his mentor. He immediately responded,

He just waited quietly aside.

Master Daoxuan slowly walked a few steps and stood in the shadow of the main hall. Looking out from the door, he saw Lin Jingyu carrying the dragon-slaying sword on his back under the warm sunshine. He was wearing long clothes and a jade belt around his waist. He had a handsome face.

, stood respectfully on the side of the ancestral hall, waiting patiently.

He looked at it silently for a while and said: "This kid is a good material. Regardless of his qualifications and his character, he is the best choice."

The old man's steps seemed a little slow. He walked to him, looked out, and said, "Then why didn't you take him under your wing back then?"

Master Daoxuan looked at Lin Jingyu who was standing outside the ancestral hall. That young man was in his prime. No matter where he looked, he showed such vigorous vitality and compelling edge that it made people feel that he was different from everyone else.

different.

Master Daoxuan suddenly smiled, a very ordinary smile, then turned around and said to the old man: "Because he is so much like the same person. His temperament, expression, and even his qualifications are all the same as that person."

He's so similar. If he were around me, I wouldn't be able to sleep."

The muscles on the face of the old man next to him suddenly seemed to twitch.

Master Daoxuan turned around, looked at him, and looked at him indifferently. After a long time, he suddenly shook his head, and then said with a smile: "I was kidding you!" Before he finished speaking, he frowned and then touched his chest with his hand.

, coughed a few times.
