The white cold air rising up like light smoke floated silently in the Ice Stone Chamber. On this day, the cold air in the Ice Stone Chamber seemed to be much thicker than usual. Even looking over it, it felt a bit hazy. , there is no longer the clarity of the past where one can see the bottom at a glance
The stone door made a low roar and slowly opened, but the slender figure that came into view seemed blurry for some reason.
Is it Youji?
Gui Li thought like this in his heart, and walked slowly into the ice stone chamber. The faint cold air drifted away, and strands, like a dream, enveloped his figure. The woman's figure quietly turned her back to him, Standing in front of the ice stone platform, the cold air around her seemed to be particularly heavy. Even the white air condensed by the cold air was like frost and snow, making it difficult to see what was going on.
In the air, the clear and crisp sound of bells is faintly visible and echoing, as if it is close to your ears.
For some reason, Gui Li stopped subconsciously. Maybe it was because of what happened today. It was somewhat difficult for him to face You Ji, especially after You Ji loudly reprimanded and mentioned Baguio. Looking back, Gui Li felt in his heart Although he was a little surprised by the Ghost King's uncharacteristic behavior today, he could only remain silent at his own behavior of counterattacking with all his strength without thinking.
¡°Perhaps, in the hearts of the two men, there is already deep hatred buried in them?
But, after all, there is Baguio in this world, she is lying in this ice stone chamber
Gui Li glanced at the vague figure hidden in the cold air, lowered his head silently, and said after a while: "The Ghost King Sect and I took action just now. It's my fault. I don't know how things suddenly turned out like this. Don't do it." I won't be angry anymore. The figure's shoulders seemed to tremble, but he did not speak. He remained quiet, but the cold air around him seemed to be flowing faster. Even in the stone chamber, it seemed that It was a bit cold too, but this ice stone room was always cold, so Gui Li didn't care.
He sighed and hesitated. He naturally knew about the relationship between Youji and Baguio. After Baguio's mother passed away, the Ghost King focused on the affairs of the Ghost King Sect, and Youji became more or less the mother of Baguio. This can be seen from the fact that Baguio has always called Youji "Aunt You". Facing her now, especially in this ice stone chamber, Gui Li actually feels a bit like facing Baguio in real life. And he felt so deeply guilty towards Baguio that he had to fight with the Ghost King today, and it was almost a matter of life and death. It was hard to express in words.
After a long time, he sighed and said in a low voice: "I know that you feel sorry for Baguio and don't want to see me having another dispute with her father. In fact, I had no intention of doing so, but at that time" He frowned, thinking in his mind The ghost king's abnormal expression just now flashed across his mind, and he shook his head and said: "Anyway, I promise you, in the future, for Baguio's sake, I will always give him a few points." The slender figure seemed to move again. After a moment, she still didn't turn around, but looking at her back, she seemed to be nodding silently, indicating approval.
Just when he was about to take a step forward, suddenly, his whole body froze for a moment, like lightning. A thought passed through his mind, like thunder, roaring in his mind.
Youji is always covered with a black veil, so why can¡¯t she see her back when looking from behind? Almost at the same time, Gui Li's chaotic mind immediately thought that the hair style on the back was exactly that of a young girl, which was completely different from the woman with the bun in Youji's bun.
He turned around like lightning and shouted loudly: 'Who are you? 'The cold air in the Ice Stone Chamber instantly felt like bone-chilling ice. The light smoke surrounding the figure began to spin rapidly in an instant. Gui Li's eyes widened. There was actually an outsider intruding into the Ice Stone Chamber. To him, this was It's absolutely unacceptable
Just when Gui Li was about to make a move, a low roaring sound suddenly came from behind. Gui Li was shocked and uncertain, and turned around to look, only to see that the stone door that had been closed behind him slowly opened again. , a figure appeared at the door
"Slender and tall, with a black veil covering her face, and a delicate temperament, but who is she if she's not You Ji?"
You Ji opened the stone door, but suddenly she saw Gui Li with a strange expression on his face, his eyes were wide open, and the muscles on his face were twisted. On the contrary, she was startled and couldn't help but take a step back.
But she was not an ordinary person after all, so she calmed down and said in a cold voice: ¡®Humph, do you still have the nerve to come here to see Baguio? Gui Li stared at her deeply, and suddenly his face was startled, as if he remembered something very important. He quickly turned around to look, but at this glance, his whole body was shocked, as if he was stunned, and he was stunned. Standing there, silent
He was in the huge ice stone chamber. Suddenly, he completely restored his former self.It looked as it should, the strange floating white smoke disappeared, the faint sound of the bell disappeared, and as for the mysterious back, it actually disappeared out of thin air at this moment.
Everything seems to be the same as before, like a dream, an illusion, drifting away, drifting away
Baguio lay quietly on the ice stone platform, with the familiar smile still on the corner of her mouth. Between her hands, the light on the Albizia Bell was flickering, gently flowing, as if she was watching a ghost. Li
Gui Li stood there, his whole body tense, as if he had lost all consciousness, motionless
You Ji, who slowly walked into the Ice Stone Chamber, quickly discovered that something was wrong with Gui Li. She glanced at him and frowned: 'What are you doing? The corners of Gui Li's mouth moved, but he didn't speak. He just raised his head silently and looked at the ice stone chamber. Except for the thick stone door, the ice stone chamber was surrounded by hard stone walls without any gaps. Looking at it at this moment, those cold stone walls seemed to have a bit of cruel ridicule, staring coldly at the ridiculous-looking people.
The wandering eyes slowly retracted, and slowly returned to the ice stone chamber. The ghostly eyes of the person lying on the stone platform were somehow blurry, and thousands of thoughts were rushing like a tide. Come on, that gaze finally fell quietly on Baguio¡¯s hair.
'What¡¯s wrong with you? ¡¯ There was already a bit of impatience in You Ji¡¯s voice.
Gui Li closed his eyes, slowly opened them after a long time, and whispered: 'When you came in, did you see anything strange in this stone room? ¡¯ Youji snorted and said in a cold voice, ¡®What¡¯s weird? Aren¡¯t they all exactly the same as before? One table and one person. The muscles at the corners of Gui Li¡¯s eyes seemed to twitch.
Youji slowly sat down next to Baguio, with a look of love and pity in her eyes. After looking at it for a long time, she said slowly: "I know you are not having a good time, but I just hope you will think more about it. If Baguio knows If you actually fight with her father, how will she feel? Gui Li was stunned and didn't speak. After a moment, he suddenly shook his head, took a long breath, and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do." After that, he took another deep look at Baguio, then turned around and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do." walked out
Looking at his back, Youji frowned slightly, intuitively feeling that Gui Li seemed to be different from usual, but then she sighed again, the strange person was not just him, but now he was Isn't it the Ghost King Sect Master she has followed for many years that is becoming more and more difficult for her to understand?
She lowered her head silently and fell into deep thought. The ice stone chamber was silent, except for the acacia bell in Baguio's hand, which was shining with brilliant light, like clear eyes, flickering non-stop, watching the world.
Qingyun Mountain, Xiaozhu Peak
In the early morning, a breeze blew slowly, and the green bamboo forest all over the mountain swayed together. The sound of rustling bamboo waves was like the sound of nature, which made people feel peaceful. Last night, there was a heavy rain, as if the whole world had been washed away, and the clean air blew on the face. As we pass by, the mountains in the distance are covered with dark blue, and the landscape is picturesque.
The stone path under my feet was still wet. Occasionally, there was still some rainwater accumulated last night in the gaps between the stones. Many bamboo leaves fell on and on both sides of the stone path. It must have been blown down by the wind and rain last night. It was too early. No one has come to clean it yet
Dressed in white like snow, Lu Xueqi is as delicate as dust. She is walking alone in the bamboo forest path in the morning breeze. Her hair is soft and draped on her shoulders. Looking at her skin that can be broken by a blow, there is still a hint of snow-white. A hint of pink, like the beautiful flowers blooming quietly in the deep mountains and valleys
On both sides of the stone path, the tall bamboos swayed slightly, and there were condensed dewdrops on the green bamboo leaves, sliding quietly and flying quietly to the earth.
She stepped forward without looking back, her white clothes fluttering, and she walked into the depths of the green bamboo forest.
The stone path is deep and winding, and the early morning light shines through the dense gaps in the bamboo forest. The bamboo shadows sway gently, illuminating her slim figure.
A simple bamboo house in front gradually appeared. It was the place where Master Shuiyue, the first of the Xiaozhufeng lineage, usually meditated and practiced.
Lu Xueqi walked to the hut, stopped at the door, hesitated for a moment, stretched out her hand and gently tapped the door made of bamboo.
¡®Master, my disciple Xue Qi pays my respects¡¯ ¡®Come in¡¯ Master Shuiyue¡¯s voice came out from the hut. It was neither happy nor sad. It seemed to have the slightest emotion, as light as water.
The door creaked and Lu Xueqi gently pushed it open. Lu Xueqi walked in and saw her master sitting cross-legged on the bamboo bed with her eyes closed and her expression calm. She couldn't see anything because of her arrival. And the changing expression
Lu Xueqi silently walked to Master Shuiyue, knelt down, and whispered: "Master, the disciple is here." She paused, and then continued: "Xueqi knows that she is unworthy and has failed to live up to your old man's expectations. It makes you sad, Master,Please punish me." Master Shuiyue slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on Lu Xueqi in front of him. He stared at it for a long time, then sighed and said, "If I punish you, will you change your mind?" ¡¯ Lu Xueqi lowered her head silently, not daring to look at her master¡¯s face, and she didn¡¯t say a word. She just looked at her expression, but there was no sign of regret at all?
Master Shuiyue shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Since you are already determined and refuse to look back, what's the point of me punishing you? That's all, just get up." Lu Xueqi bit her lower lip slightly, looking a little a little bit. I was excited, but I controlled myself and stood up.
Master Shuiyue gently patted the bamboo couch beside him and said, "You sit down too." Lu Xueqi shook her head and said, "I don't dare." Master Shuiyue glanced at her and said, "There are just the two of us here." What's so fussy about it? Could it be that in your heart you still resent me, the master, for being separated from me? ¡¯ Lu Xueqi suddenly raised her head, shook her head hurriedly and said: ¡®Master, I¡¯ Master Shuiyue waved his hand and smiled and said: ¡®Okay, okay, you were raised and taught by me, what kind of temperament do you have, don¡¯t I know? ' She reached out and took Lu Xueqi's hand, gently pulled her over to sit beside her, looked at Lu Xueqi's beautiful and elegant face carefully, sighed and said: 'No matter what, I am the master. In the end, it's all for your own good, you have to remember." Lu Xueqi moved the corner of her mouth and whispered: "What I understand is that it is actually my fault" Master Shuiyue shook his head and said: "Forget it. , now that things have happened, we should no longer argue about who is right and who is wrong. Ask, what is love in this world? Duixue Qianshan Among these thousands of mountains and rivers, who can really be with me for the rest of my life? ¡¯ Speaking of this, it seemed as if Master Shuiyue himself had touched his mind, and for a moment he fell into a daze.
Lu Xueqi did not dare to disturb her master, but she felt the master holding her palm. The warmth coming from her palm felt familiar after a long absence.
I don't know how long it took, but Master Shuiyue was suddenly shocked and woke up from his trance. He smiled bitterly, as if he was a little self-deprecating, and then said to Lu Xueqi: "Hey, we will talk about these things later. I asked Wenmin to call you over last night." , did she tell you everything she did? Lu Xueqi shook her head and said, "Senior Sister didn't say anything. She just told me to come to Master early in the morning. If anything happens, Master will tell me." Master Shuiyue nodded silently and said, "That's right, Wen Min." Although that girl knows a little, she doesn't know much after all. Let me tell you." Lu Xueqi was slightly shocked. She saw Master Shuiyue's face was a little heavy, as if there was something difficult in her heart. She couldn't help but said: "Master, there is something wrong. Is there anything difficult? If there is a need for a disciple, just give me your order, and the disciple will try his best to do it." Master Shuiyue nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I believe you, but there is indeed a big thing at the moment, but it concerns me, Qingyun. The number of sects is an important matter, but we cannot let too many outsiders, including our disciples, know about it. After much thought, I still think that you are the only one among the disciples who has the best ethics and ability to deal with things, so I called you here." Lu Xueqi frowned. After picking it up, he was slightly surprised and said: "Master, has something big happened to our sect?" ¡¯ Master Shuiyue smiled bitterly and said, ¡®Who says it¡¯s not the case? ¡¯ Lu Xueqi said: ¡®What happened, Master? Master Shuiyue pondered for a moment, seeming to be thinking about it, and then said slowly: "Your master uncle, and Uncle Tian Buyi from Dazhu Peak, disappeared together a few days ago." Lu Xueqi was shocked and said :'They disappeared together? Master Shuiyue said calmly: "That day, some of the Nagato disciples saw Tian Buyi coming to Tongtian Peak and went straight to the Ancestral Hall of the Ancestral Master on the Back Mountain. During these days, everyone knows that the head senior brother is almost always in the Ancestral Hall of the Ancestral Master." , and since then, no one has seen them again." Lu Xueqi frowned, obviously very surprised.
Master Shuiyue paused for a moment and then said: "After this incident happened, Xiao Yicai, who is now in charge of Tongtian Peak, did not dare to cover it up because he was too involved. However, he did not dare to announce the incident anyway. He just secretly informed us several times." I also went to the ancestor's ancestral hall to check after the incident, but I didn't expect that there was already" Lu Xueqi was startled and said, "What happened to the ancestor's ancestral hall?" ¡¯ Master Shuiyue shook his head and said: ¡®The main hall of the ancestral hall was almost destroyed. It can be seen at a glance that it was destroyed by the magic power of fierce fighting.¡¯ ¡®What? ¡¯ Lu Xueqi cried out softly
Master Shuiyue sneered and said: "The Patriarch's Ancestral Hall is where our Qingyun Sect enshrines the ancestors of past generations. The two of them dare to do something in such a solemn place. It is really lawless and there are serious things going on." Lu Xueqi was surprised. I was shocked again. I really couldn't think of anything else that could be more serious than the destruction of the ancestor's ancestral hall. I couldn't help but ask, "What else?" "Yesterday, Xiao Yicai hurriedly came to me." Master Shuiyue's face became solemn, and his eyes were a little more worried. He said slowly: "According to what he said, since Brother Daoxuan disappeared, he tried his best to trace it." To no avail, he wanted to check the things left behind by his master to see what he found. Unexpectedly, he found something big while searching. Lu Xueqi stared at Master Shuiyue.
?Master Shuiyue closed his eyes, as if he was a little tired, and said: "Xiao Yicai discovered that our sect's Zhuxian Ancient Sword has also disappeared." Lu Xueqi was stunned and speechless.
Master Shuiyue opened his eyes and said: "I know you are a smart person, and you naturally know the relationship and mystery. Although the Zhuxian ancient sword has been damaged, the matter is too relevant, and most outsiders don't know about the damage of the sword. If If it is spread out, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome; besides, there is actually a huge secret in the Zhuxian Ancient Sword, which is of great importance. Only a few people including me, the headmaster of Qingyun Sect, know about it. If it is leaked, the consequences will be serious. It's unimaginable," Lu Xueqi said in shock, "Aside from being the divine weapon of our sect, does the Zhuxian Sword have any secrets? Master Shuiyue was silent for a long time. Lu Xueqi did not dare to speak. She stood aside with her hands lowered and whispered for a long time: "Disciple is rude and lost his temper just now." Master Shuiyue shook his head silently and said after a while: "Being a teacher is not the right thing to do." I mean to blame you, but the relationship here is very big and the ins and outs are extremely complicated" When she said this, she paused for a while, as if she was thinking deeply. After a while, she said: "In fact, this matter is reasonable, even for me. The leader of the Xiaozhu Peak lineage cannot be known. It was because of the great chaos a hundred years ago that a few of us accidentally knew something about the inside story." Lu Xueqi said in astonishment: "Are these people, besides you, Master, such a huge secret? Does anyone else know? Master Shuiyue said calmly: "In the chaos that year, there must have been five people involved in it. In addition to me, there were also senior brother Daoxuan, Tian Buyi, and junior sister Suru" Lu Xueqi is here Listening, Master Shuiyue suddenly stopped, calculating silently in his mind, and couldn't help but said: "Master, there are only four people here, is there another one?" ¡¯ Master Shuiyue sighed, a hint of melancholy flashed across his face, and said: ¡®It¡¯s your uncle named Wan Jianyi¡¯
