The mountain peak blew through the green bamboo forest, bringing up waves of bamboo waves that echoed in the empty valley and secluded forest.
Wenmin looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was cloudless and blue. It seemed to have a transparent feeling. She took a deep breath and felt better, but her pace did not slow down.
After passing the bamboo forest path, she soon saw the small bamboo house where her master, Master Shuiyue, meditated.
She walked to the door, knocked lightly on the door, and said, "Master, I'm back."
Master Shuiyue's voice came out, saying: "Is it Min'er? Come in!"
Wenmin opened the door and walked in. The bamboo house was not big. After entering the door, she saw Master Shuiyue sitting cross-legged on the couch, closing his eyes to meditate. She walked aside and said: "Master."
Master Shuiyue slowly opened his eyes, glanced at her, and saw that she was alone, and said, "Why, no one was found?"
Wen Min nodded and said: "Yes, I have been to Junior Sister Lu's residence twice today, but she is not here. I have smelled it to other sisters, but no one has seen her. Could it be that she went down the mountain for something?"
Master Shuiyue said expressionlessly: "Xue Qi has always known the importance. If she goes down the mountain, she will definitely let me know. If you can't find her, it's probably..." Her voice paused, as if she thought of something, and then turned around.
Team Wenmin said: "Since we can't find her, forget it. There's nothing important anyway. You can go down and do your homework!"
Wenmin nodded and responded, then saluted Master Shuiyue, and then walked out, gently closing the door of the bamboo house before leaving.
After Wen Min's footsteps outside the house gradually faded away, a thoughtful expression slowly appeared on Master Shuiyue's usually calm face. After a long time, she sighed softly.
The light shone in from the window of the bamboo house, illuminating this exquisite and simple bamboo house. Master Shuiyue silently got off the bamboo couch, walked to the door, opened the door and walked out, leaving a silence behind.
in this small space.
Watching the Moon Platform is a very secluded place on Xiaozhu Peak. Whenever the night is clear and the moon is high in the sky, the scenery here is very moving. It is said that on a full moon night, the moonlight is as bright as anyone. After being refracted by the white stone of the Watching Moon Platform, it can reflect the light of Xiaozhu.
The entire mountain range is truly a wonder on earth and one of the famous scenery on Qingyun Mountain.
In the past ten years, Lu Xueqi has often danced her sword against the moon in the dead of night. Master Shuiyue is the mentor who raised Lu Xueqi since she was a child. She is like a teacher and a mother. No one understands Lu Xueqi better than her.
She was thinking about it. When she heard that Wen Min would not see Lu Xueqi in the morning, she thought about it for a moment and guessed that Lu Xueqi had probably come to this secluded place.
Along the way, the bamboo forest is lush, and at the same time it is getting farther and farther away from the lively palaces and pavilions in the front mountain. Although Master Shuiyue's own residence is also in a secluded place, walking on this path, you can hear the endless waves of bamboo on both sides of the road.
, I still can’t help but feel empty in my heart.
I wonder if Xue Qi also likes this place because of this feeling?
Master Shuiyue thought this quietly in his mind and walked towards the Wang Yuetai. Sure enough, as soon as she stepped onto the Moon Watching Platform, she saw the familiar figure in white standing quietly on the boulder rising out of the lonely cliff.
The mountain wind whistled continuously in the endless abyss, and Lu Xueqi's white clothes also flew with the wind.
Tianya was still in her hand, quietly exuding a light blue glow.
Master Shuiyue looked at her back and remained silent for a long time. There seemed to be some complicated emotions in his eyes, and his eyes flashed continuously. After a while, she coughed lightly.
Lu Xueqi immediately noticed something strange behind her, and was slightly surprised. It was daytime at this time, and no sisters from Xiaozhufeng had ever come to this remote place. Why did someone come here today, and the visitor came close to behind her, but she didn't know anything about it.
Didn't find it either.
She turned around quickly, and what came into view was the figure of her mentor, Master Shuiyue. Lu Xueqi was startled, and quickly floated down from the boulder, came to Master Shuiyue, lowered her head and saluted, "Master, what are you doing?"
coming?"
There was some pity in Master Shuiyue's eyes, and he pulled Lu Xueqi's clothes with his hand, and said softly: "The strong wind blowing here is quite cold and severe. Although you have advanced in Taoism, it is not advisable to blow too much. After all, it is
It’s no good.”
Lu Xueqi lowered her head and said: "Disciple understands, thank you Master for your concern."
Master Shuiyue glanced at her, sighed softly, and said, "Do you feel resentful of being a master?"
Lu Xueqi was taken aback and said, "Master, why do you say that?"
Master Shuiyue said calmly: "I told you this secret and asked you to go down the mountain. Who knew that God's will played tricks on people, and after many twists and turns, you had to take action to kill Uncle Dazhu Fengtian who was restrained by the Zhuxian Ancient Sword.
.And he did it in front of that person."
Lu Xueqi's expression darkened, but she slowly shook her head and said: "Master, don't say anything. This disciple has already thought clearly in his heart. This matter is God's will. Master, you yourself couldn't have imagined it. What's more, at the last moment of the day, although
Master Tian cannot speak, but I clearly feel his thoughts in my heart. Master Tian also wanted me to take action with that sword."
Her voice paused, and her expression suddenly showed a look of desolation, as if she was mocking herself or smiling bitterly, and she said quietly: "As for the relationship with that person... I have no hope at all. The rules of the sect and the moral principles are as high as mountains. I
I understand very well. Mr. Tian from Dazhu Peak was the mentor who raised him from childhood. He has always regarded him as a father, but now he is dead in my heart. If I were him, it would be unbearable.
Having said this, she silently raised her head, looked at Master Shuiyue, smiled sadly, and said: "Master, you don't have to worry about me, disciple. I, I have really looked away!"
Master Shuiyue felt a pain in her heart. With her experience and perspective, what Lu Xueqi was thinking at this moment, how could she not see that what happened was so unexpected and there was no room for change. In the past, although she was firmly opposed to this disciple's feelings
, but at this moment, I finally couldn’t bear it.
It's just that no matter how hard you bear it, it won't help in the end. Master Shuiyue sighed softly, shook his head, and said softly: "Xue Qi, don't be too sad, don't hurt your body."
Lu Xueqi forced a smile and whispered: "Master, come to this remote place to find me, but is there anything important?"
Master Shuiyue nodded and said: "Yes, there is indeed something here. Although it is not big, it seems very strange. And after thinking about it, you are the only one who is more suitable."
Lu Xueqi said: "What's the matter?"
Master Shuiyue glanced at her and said: "Actually, it is still the secret. By the way, you said that after the accident happened, did you personally send the bodies of Gui Li and Tian Buyi to Dazhu Peak?"
When Lu Xueqi heard the word "Gui Li", her face changed slightly, but then she nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, that day... that man was seriously injured. Although there was no fear of his life, he had to take Master Tian alone.
It was too strenuous to bring uncle's body back to the mountain, and the matter should not be delayed for too long, so the disciple sent them off. However, I also sent them to Dazhu Peak, and left as soon as they landed."
Master Shuiyue nodded and said: "Yes, the weird thing is here."
Lu Xueqi was slightly surprised and said: "What's wrong, Master?"
Master Shuiyue said calmly: "As you said, Tian Buyi's body had returned to Dazhu Peak two days ago, but until today, there has been no news of condolences from Dazhu Peak."
Lu Xueqi was startled and couldn't help but frown.
Master Shuiyue walked aside with his hands behind his hands and looked out from a distance. He could only see the clouds and mist in the distance, and Dazhu Peak was looming in that direction.
She looked at it for a long time and then said: "Tian Buyi is the leader of the Dazhu Peak sect, and his status is very important. As soon as the news comes out, even the master will have to go and pay homage. But the Dazhu Peak is kept secret. Isn't it a strange thing?
"
She paused, turned to look at Lu Xueqi, and said: "In addition, I also quietly sent someone to find an excuse to go to Longshou Peak in the morning, and found that Tian Linger was still on Longshou Peak, asking her father
There is actually no news about his death."
Lu Xueqi was silent for a long time, then said: "Disciple understands."
Master Shuiyue nodded and said: "You are smart as ice and snow, so I don't need to say anything more. In fact, I don't doubt anything. Suru is my junior sister. We are just like sisters. We don't care about others. In fact, I
I was even more worried that she was so deeply in love with her husband that she did something stupid out of her mind. However, there is no mourning on Dazhu Peak. As the leader of Dazhu Peak, it is not convenient for me to go there to visit. In addition, there are many hidden twists and turns in this matter, and others really can't.
It's inconvenient, so I have to let you go there again."
Lu Xueqi nodded and said: "Disciple knows that in this case, if there is nothing else to lose, I will let it go."
Master Shuiyue nodded slightly and said: "That's fine, just be careful along the way. If anything happens, come back early and let me know."
Lu Xueqi responded, bowed to Master Shuiyue, turned around, and the divine light of the Tianya Divine Sword lit up at her hand. She walked with the sword, only to hear a sharp roar that broke through the air, and the person turned into a blue light.
Soared into the sky.
Master Shuiyue looked at Lu Xueqi's slightly hurried figure, which was not as calm as before, and knew that the stubborn and infatuated disciple was strong on the surface and let go, but in his heart there were thousands of things that he couldn't let go of.
.
She was silent for a long time, and at the most she just sighed softly, shook her head, turned around, and walked straight down the viewing platform.
Thousands of miles away, Huqi Mountain.
In the ice stone chamber, the frost and cold air still curled up, and the serene woman in green was lying quietly on the ice stone platform as usual.
Lan Ji, whose face was covered with gauze, stood alone in the ice stone chamber, staring at Baguio for a long time, and sighed softly, with a lot of helplessness.
In You Ji's heart, there has indeed been too much helplessness recently, which puzzles her, makes her sad, and gradually makes her confused.
First, the Ghost King seemed to have completely changed. The resolute Ghost King in the past was still brave and wise, but his murderous intentions became more and more serious in his daily actions. In just a few days, he disobeyed him because of a few small things.
Meaning, the Ghost King has killed several people in a row, including even a high-status senior of the Ghost King Sect.
As for these trivial matters, two years ago, the Ghost King would have just laughed it off. You Ji clearly felt that people in the Ghost King Sect were already panicked and feared, and no one knew that one day she would suddenly get into trouble because of something.
An inconspicuous little thing can lead to an inexplicable death.
What made You Ji even more distressed was that she accidentally saw the Ghost King and Ghost Li making a move that day. Although it only happened a few times, You Ji was not an ordinary member of the cult, she was a member of the Ghost King Sect.
Suzaku, one of the Four Holy Envoys, opened clearly. I don't know when there was a deep rift between the two men. She could tell that the Ghost King had made several moves.
, it may not mean that there is no murderous intention.
Her eyes dimmed and she looked at Baguio, who was still sleeping quietly. It was for this respectable and beautiful woman that the two men came together, but for what reason? After these ten years
, the relationship between them actually reached this point?
Youji really couldn't imagine what would happen if one day those two men killed each other? But now it seems that this kind of thing may not happen.
"Man, hum, man!"
You Ji said something hatefully in her heart, feeling upset. When she turned her eyes to Baguio, she turned into Teng Xin. This child she always regarded as her daughter, every time she looked at Baguio,
She couldn't help but feel sad about it.
While she was thinking silently here alone, the thick stone door of the Ice Stone Chamber suddenly made a low mahogany sound, and someone opened it from the outside.
Youji turned around and looked around. After a while, she saw the ghost king's figure appearing at the door and slowly walking in. She couldn't help but be startled.
The Ghost King then saw You Ji, nodded to her, and said calmly: "You are here too."
You Ji suddenly sneered and stared at the Ghost King but said nothing.
The Ghost King frowned, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes. He seemed to be particularly prone to anger now, which was very different from his past temperament. However, You Ji was not an ordinary person after all, and the relationship with his father and daughter was unparalleled by others. The Ghost King had always treated You Ji
, also looked at him differently. At the moment, he could only say: "What's wrong?"
You Ji snorted and sneered: "Do you still remember that there is a daughter lying here?"
The Ghost King frowned and said, "What are you talking about? How come I don't remember it? I only have one child like this."
You Ji Su Rong said: "Well, tell me, how long has it been since you came here to see Baguio?"
The Ghost King was startled, but could not speak for a moment. A trace of guilt seemed to flash in his eyes, and he breathed softly and said, "It's my fault. The academic affairs have been difficult recently, and I'm in a bad mood, so I don't come here much."
You Ji said coldly: "I really don't understand, not only you, but also that Gui Li, what's going on? You two seem to have changed a lot!" She said the last sentence, her tone was still slow.
Slowly it became lower.
The Ghost King didn't seem to care about You Ji's tone, but when he heard the word "Gui Li", his face suddenly darkened, he snorted and said, "You don't know the general situation, don't mention him in front of me!"
Youji looked at the Ghost King's face and saw a scowl on his face. She was about to say something, but suddenly a feeling of exhaustion rolled into her heart. For a moment, she felt discouraged. She shook her head and said
: "That's all, that's all, it's up to you. Anyway, you just want to take care of yourself. I really can't care about it, and I'm too lazy to care about it."
With that said, she turned and walked towards the door. The Ghost King looked at her back and frowned, as if he wanted to say something to her, but in the end he didn't.
Just when You Ji was about to reach out to the heavy stone door, her hand suddenly stopped in mid-air. Almost at the same time, the Ghost King standing behind her also felt something, and his eyes were sharp.
A sudden flash.
An invisible but overwhelming force, like a surging tide, suddenly passed through the depths of the earth beneath their feet. The Ghost King and You Ji were both profound people, and they were both moved by this strange force.
Colored by power.
However, You Ji was shocked, but the Ghost King was indeed surprised and a little happy, and the light in his eyes kept flickering.
This strange huge tide came one after another, like the turbulent sea that never stops. Slowly, You Ji clearly felt that the ground under her feet was shaking slightly, and the shaking was slowly getting worse.
Her face turned slightly pale. This sudden strange force was unimaginably powerful and frightening. It was beyond human power to resist. She looked back in horror and saw the Ghost King with a strange look on his face and piercing eyes.
He didn't know what he was thinking of writing, but there wasn't much fear on his face.
At this moment, suddenly, the ice stone chamber, which seemed to be surrounded by countless thick rock walls and seemed to be indestructible, erupted with several consecutive crisp sounds, as if something exploded.
This time, the Ghost King's expression changed drastically like You Ji's.
Shocked, he quickly looked around and saw that the originally extremely solid stone wall had several short cracks. From the cracks, several small stones continued to fall.
At the same time, the ground beneath their feet seemed to be shaking more and more violently.
Fortunately, this strange force seemed to find an outlet when it tore apart the solid rock of the mountain wall. Soon after the mountain wall cracked, the two of them felt that this strange and mysterious force deep in the earth beneath their feet was rapidly weakening.
Go down, and soon the little thing disappears.
You Ji stood in silence for a long time, her brows furrowed. If those shocking cracks were not still on the stone wall, she would have almost thought that it was just her imagination. But the cracks were like knives, but they were really carved on the stone wall.
On top of the extremely hard stone wall.
You Ji turned to look at the Ghost King. For some reason, the Ghost King just glanced at her and then turned back to look at Baguio.
"Do you know what this is about?"
A shadow suddenly flashed across Youji's heart, and she had a bad premonition.
The Ghost King slowly shook his head and said calmly: "I don't know either. I will send someone to survey the terrain later to see if it is an earthquake."
Youji pondered for a moment and said: "This shouldn't be an earthquake. The turbulent force just now was like a huge wave, and there was clearly a murderous aura in it. It was definitely not a natural disaster."
The Ghost King remained silent for a moment, then said: "I will investigate this matter in detail, so just leave it alone."
Youji stared at his back for a long time, the veil on her face not moving slightly in the wind. After a while, she didn't say anything anymore, turned around, opened the heavy stone door, and walked out.
The stone door slowly closed again amidst a heavy roar, and the ice stone chamber fell into silence again. Looking at the peaceful and beautiful face with a slight smile, the ghost king's eyes, which had always been deep and sharp, finally slowly changed.
Got to soften down.
He silently sat down on the side of the ice stone bed, looking at Baguio with indescribable longing and pain in his eyes.
It seems that it was only at this time, when he faced his daughter alone, that he showed some weakness.
But, who knows?
Or maybe it’s the Ghost King himself, will he understand?
Nobody knows.
Outside the ice stone chamber, You Ji walked away from here for a few steps, then stopped again, frowned, and looked around.
I don't know if it was because she was in a very thick ice stone chamber just now. Although she felt the strange mysterious power, the damage caused around her was not severe. Of course, it could tear through the extremely hard stone wall.
The power of a few gaps is already extraordinary.
However, outside the Ice Stone Chamber, what she saw was indeed a much more serious phenomenon. Within the tunnels dug in the Ghost King Sect and extending in all directions, there was a mess everywhere, and falling rock fragments could be seen everywhere.
There were sounds of people shouting anxiously and moaning in pain.
Obviously, that mysterious power had a more serious impact on Huqi Mountain than expected.
And in this busy time, Youji also discovered another unusual thing, that is, in these well-ventilated corridors, from unknown time, there was a faint scent of blood filling the air.
This bloody smell came from nowhere, but it seemed to be everywhere. No matter where she went, she could feel this smell. Although the strange smell was not strong, You Ji still felt very uncomfortable.
, but the worries now are too much for her, and she has no intention to worry about it anymore.
For her, it felt like she was holding a breath in her chest. No matter what, she just wanted to break out of the mountain and take a breath outside. She thought so, so she did so.
Youji's figure quickly disappeared into the tunnel at the foot of the mountain, but the faint smell of blood seemed to still be quietly spreading here...
