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 and said: "Is this 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. She closed her eyes to meditate. She walked to the side 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, responded, then saluted Master Shuiyue, and then walked out. Before leaving, he gently closed the door of the bamboo house.
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's thoughts better than her.
When she heard that Wen Min was not seeing Lu Xueqi in the morning, she thought 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 her heart, and walked towards the King's Platform. Sure enough, she just stepped onto the Moon-viewing Platform, and saw the familiar figure in white standing quietly on the boulder on the edge of the lonely cliff, endless
The mountain wind whistled in the abyss, and Lu Xueqi's white clothes also flew with the wind.
Tianya is still in her hand, quietly exuding a light blue glow.
Master Shuiyue looked at her back and kept silent for a long time. There seemed to be some complicated emotions in his eyes, and his eyes were flashing. 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. I have already thought clearly in my heart that 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 Tian
Uncle 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 that Mr. Tian from Da Zhufeng is 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 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 still can’t bear it
It's just that if you don't bear it anymore, 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 asked: "What's the matter?"
Master Shuiyue glanced at her and said: "Actually, it's the secret. That day 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 expression changed slightly, but then she nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, that day... that man was seriously injured. Although his life was not in danger, he had to take Uncle Tian alone.
It was too strenuous to bring the body back to the mountain, and the matter should not be delayed for a long time, so the disciples sent them off, but I also sent them to Dazhu Peak. Once they landed, I left."
Master Shuiyue nodded and said: "Yes, the weirdness 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 is no news of condolences from Dazhu Peak."
Lu Xueqi was startled and couldn't help but frowned.
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
I don’t know anything about the news of 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. I don't need to say anything more. In fact, I am not doubting anything. Suru is my junior sister. The two of us are just like sisters. I am not for others. I am actually
I was worried that she would be deeply in love with her husband and she would do something stupid out of mind. However, there is no mourning on Dazhu Peak. As the leader of Dazhu Peak, it is not convenient for me to go there and visit. In addition, there are many hidden twists and turns in this matter, so it is really not convenient for others.
, I have no choice but 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 get over it now."
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.
Gone 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 lowly, shook her head, turned around, and walked straight down to the moon-watching 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 probably have laughed them off. You Ji clearly felt that people in the Ghost King Sect were already panicked and feared. No one knew that one day she would suddenly be unlucky for whatever reason.
A trivial matter can lead to an inexplicable death.
What made You Ji sad was that she accidentally bumped into 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 the fourth member of the Ghost King Sect.
Suzaku, one of the Great 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’s few shots were
, may not have murderous intentions
Her eyes dimmed and she looked at Baguio. Baguio was still sleeping quietly. It was because of this respectable and beautiful woman that the two men came together, but for what reason? After these ten years,
The relationship between them has 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, the child she had always regarded as her daughter. Every time she looked at Baguio, she
I can't help but feel sad for 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.
You Ji turned around and looked around. After a while, she saw the figure of the Ghost King appearing at the door and slowly walked in. She couldn't help but be startled.
The Ghost King also saw You Ji and nodded to her, saying calmly: "You are here too."
You Ji suddenly sneered and stared at the Ghost King without saying anything.
The Ghost King frowned, with a trace of anger flashing in his eyes. He seems to be particularly prone to anger now, which is very different from his past temperament. However, You Ji is not an ordinary person after all, and his relationship with his father and daughter is unparalleled by others. The Ghost King has always treated You Ji the same way.
Looking at it with different eyes, I 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. There seemed to be a trace of guilt flashing through his eyes, and he breathed softly and said: "It's my fault. The academic affairs have been difficult recently, and I'm not in a good mood, so I come less often."
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
The ground dropped
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."
After saying that, she turned around 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 unstoppable 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 all moved by this strange force.
discoloration
However, You Ji was shocked, and 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.
But I don’t know what he was thinking of writing, but there was not much fear on his face.
At this moment, suddenly, this ice stone chamber, which seemed to be surrounded by countless thick rock walls and seemed 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 mysterious force deep in the earth beneath their feet weakened rapidly.
Go down, and soon the trivial matter will disappear.
You Ji stood silently 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 illusion. The cracks were like knives, but they were really carved into the hard stone wall.
On the extreme 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 passed through 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 was silent for a moment, then said: "I will investigate this matter in detail, so just leave it alone."
You Ji stared at his back for a long time, the gauze on her face was not moving slightly in the wind. After a while, she didn't speak anymore, turned around, opened the heavy stone door, and walked out.
The stone door slowly closed with 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 became softer.
down
He silently sat down on the side of the ice stone bed, looking at Baguio with indescribable longing and pain.
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 corridors formed by 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 everywhere.
Obviously, that mysterious power had a more serious impact on Huqi Mountain than expected.
And during this busy time, You Ji also discovered another unusual thing, that is, in these well-ventilated corridors, from unknown time, there was a faint smell of blood filling the air.
This bloody aura came from nowhere, but it seemed to be everywhere. No matter where she went, she could feel this aura. Although the strange aura was not strong, You Ji still felt very uncomfortable.
It's just that the worries now are too much for her, and she has no intention of bothering her anymore.
For her, it felt like she was holding a breath in her chest. No matter what, she just wanted to rush 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 heart of the mountain, but the faint smell of blood seemed to still be quietly spreading here...
