On the broken rock, there are fierce beasts in the forest that come and go every day.

Under the broken rock, there is a low stone house shrunk into a stone wall.

Yun Xiao had done the same as he had done for the sixth day, and put some crude drinking water in the village at the gap in the small door in front of the stone house, and then turned his head over, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the thin little hand that was as thin as wood and quickly stretched out and grabbed the bowl through the crack in the door.

The young man's eyes twinkled, but this time he didn't turn around and walk away like he had done in the past six days.

"Flow. After a pause, the young man said, "Tonight is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the little sister and I must go back to the master...... Do you know why?"

The only sound in the room was the rough and subtle sound of a small beast chewing its food.

"I still remember when I opened my eyes for the first time in the valley, and the person I saw was my master. The young man's eyes as clear as the morning stream gradually covered with a light white mist: "It was late at night, the shadows in front of the window, the wind outside the house, I saw the man sitting on my bedside, under the dim light, a thin white dress dragged on the ground, very quiet, only her hands lightly placed on the edge of my bed, she neither snorted nor moved, just looked ahead silently, guarding my couch...... But that look made me look at it at a glance, like seeing a mountain that had not moved for many years, and the moment I first woke up, I instantly hit the confusion and blankness in my heart...... It was quietly precipitated in just that eye, and his heart was inexplicably calmed down, and he was as safe as a pleasant ...... At that time, only one thought flashed in my heart: this person must be my dearest person. ”

The years are misty, and the boy seems to have returned to that late summer and early autumn night. Surrounded by green bamboo, the forest wind swayed, the man's empty and unconscious eyes silently met his eyes, and said softly and calmly: "I am your master, Duanmu Immortal." ”

The young man lowered his eyes and gently caught a piece of falling snow: "Both an elder and a relative...... For as long as I can remember, Master and Senior Sisters have been Yun Xiao's only relatives, no matter where Yun Xiao is, this night, I always want to be with them. Just like a traveler who has been wandering for many years and finally wants to return to his homeland, there is a place that he will want to go back to see no matter what, and that is the place he calls home. And the place where the master and sisters are is Yun Xiao's home...... Speaking ......of this, the young man suddenly raised his head, "On the day of the duel, I heard the voice of Shentu's seniors calling you, and the love and love contained in his words were like all parents in the world...... You are his only daughter...... It can be seen that when he promised to marry you into the Lezheng family, his face was blue and white, and he struggled a lot...... After you were away from home for half a month, he led the people of the Shentu family to search all over Liangzhou City, and he was so worried that his injuries have not healed yet...... He said that you often go out on your own to hunt for animals, but after a few days you will be back...... But this time, do you want to never go back?"

There was still a slight chewing sound in the house, mixed with the wind and snow, almost inaudible.

"There are rumors in the market that you can't understand human speech, and you have been like a beast since you were a child, and your ability to control beasts is also shallow. If you think about it, this can only come from your own house, and the thoughts of the people who say this...... I'm afraid I have to worry about your Shentu family......" Yun Xiao looked at the falling snowflakes in front of him, and said softly: "But I know that you are not unable to understand people's words, that day you recognized me as a companion in front of the small window, and went to the Hundred Beast Forest to save me, I know that you may not be able to speak, but you have a rare sense of acuity in the world, you can distinguish between good and evil, you can sense the likes and dislikes of the people in front of you, and you can recognize the crisis...... That's why you like to walk in the mountains, and you'd rather be in the company of the simple bandits in this village than stay in your Shentu house......"

The chewing sound in the room slowly stopped.

"But you can't forget...... In addition to the person surnamed Shentu who may not like you very much, the only daughter of the Shentu family, there is also your father, Shentu Xiao. Yun Xiao casually picked up a few stones from the door of the stone house and slowly piled them up. "Your Shentu family is now like this unstable bluestone, and the bottom is all supported by the hard stone of Shentu's predecessors. But if he loses the battle and can't fulfill the promise he made, give the Le Zheng family and the people in the rivers and lakes an explanation......" Yun Xiao sighed, and suddenly reached out from under the large and unstable bluestone in his hand, and took out the old stone that was used as a support. "Your Shentu family's hundreds of years of prestige, together with the life's work of Shentu's predecessors, will be like this bluestone, and it is bound to fall. ”

A huge piece of bluestone was tilted to one side, and it looked like it was about to fall into the rubble.

Suddenly, a grain of gravel shot out from the crack in the door, and was accurately nailed under the bluestone that was taken out by Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile: "I know that you will not be in vain, and your surname will be Shentu." ”

In front of the stone house, the thin and quiet young man slowly stood up, "Yun Xiao and the little senior sister went down the mountain......" turned around and walked away, walked a few steps, and suddenly stopped his steps, and whispered to the man in the stone house: "I hope you don't live up to your father, and don't live up to Lezheng." ”

The figure of Qingji and Ning Ran slowly walked away, leaving a series of extremely shallow footprints in the snow.

Inside the room, a thin figure with big eyes as clear as a beast watched him walk away through the crack in the door, and two animal bones were running on the rough hemp rope around his neck.

The wind and snow lingered.

In the backyard of the inn, the snow covered the hedge, and the long sword of the green leaf was not drawn, but the horizontal sheath was against the neck of the woman in red, and her face was extremely cold.

"As Master Le Zheng said, if you want to borrow the Yuanhuo lava lamp, unless the Duanmu Sect Master goes to see my son-in-law in person, and where my son-in-law is, I can only ask the Duanmu Sect Master to go in alone. Yingli said it again in a flat voice, with no fear on her face.

"Mei Shuying, this person is too repetitive, how can I believe it again, if my master has an accident in front of him, what should I do!"

The woman on the chair coughed lightly in the snowstorm, and Le Zhengqingyin was busy standing in the direction of the wind to block the cold wind.

Duanmu Xiaoxian nodded slightly in that direction and thanked him, and then said softly: "Lu'er, according to what she said, she will go in alone for the teacher." ”

"Master!" Ye Luye disagreed, and when she saw the snow on the face of the woman in white, she knew that she could no longer stalemate with her in this wind and snow.

"Where Brother Mei is, can't even I go!" Lan Suwan wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at the woman in front of her, with a slight sadness in her eyes.

The woman in red was slightly stunned, then lowered her head and said, "If it's a young lady, it's okay." ”

Lan Suwan's face softened slightly, and she turned her head to Ye Luye and said, "Senior sister, if I accompany Master in, you and Master Lezheng are here waiting for us to come out." ”

Ye Luye's eyebrows were still a little twisted, and then he glanced at the person in the chair whose face was obviously more and more pale outside, so he had to nod his head and say sharply to the woman in red: "You said that this pavilion is a secret place in your Shocking Cloud Pavilion, and outsiders are not allowed to enter, and Ye Luye can not enter." But if my master has a point in the pool, I will ask Mei Shuying to fight with her life!"

Yingli hugged the sword and bowed her head, "Shaoyang Leng Sword's words, how dare Yingli not take it to heart, and take care of Mr. Duanmu." ”

Ye Luye shook his hand coldly and put down the scabbard in his hand.

"Then let's go. Duanmu said a word, and slowly walked forward with Yingli and Lan Suwan.

Yingli took the two of them around to a wing room in the backyard, Lan Suwan was confused, and then saw Yingli close the door and walked straight to the cross-couch in front of the bed, walking through more than a dozen footsteps like the wind, and finally clasped his palms in the middle and slapped hard, and the cross-couch responded to the low sound, and the whole slowly moved away.

When Lan Suwan looked again, a long bottomless stone staircase was slowly appearing in front of her.

After the couch was completely removed, Yingli glanced at the person in the wooden wheelchair, frowned slightly for a moment and said, "Duanmu Sect Master, can Yingli offend ......" She wanted to come over and pick up the woman in the chair, but the person in blue blocked her in front of her.

"No need, my master can go down. Lan Su took the lead in jumping in, his body fluttering like a blue butterfly, and he reached the bottom of the stone steps with a few taps of his toes.

Yingli was slightly startled, and hurriedly shouted to her, "Miss will stand within ten steps of the bottom step, don't walk around!"

A woman's nice response came from the depths of the stone steps, and in the next moment, Yingli only felt a Ling Ran's qi coming towards her, and the qi in the air was slightly agitated, and then she saw that the entrance cross couch seemed to be entangled by something, and made a very slight sound.

Duanmu Xiaoxian said softly: "I'm tired of protecting the Dharma and pushing Duanmu down." ”

Yingli was slightly stunned, and tried to push the person in the chair to the stone steps, but when she went down, she felt that she couldn't feel the height of the stone steps as if she was walking on the slope.

"This is ......" The wooden wheelchair slowly slid down smoothly, but she felt that her feet were slippery, and she needed to concentrate internal force to be stable.

"This is the heavenly silk between the little blue fingers, she is concurrently sending ten thousand ways, and the force is straightened, so that it can be formed. The man in white replied softly.

Yingli was slightly frightened, Miss has been good at embroidering happy threads since she was a child, and she has been able to learn such an ability in Guiyun Valley for seven years, which is really what she likes, and what she has achieved is amazing.

Unconsciously glanced at the woman in white in front of him.

Not only is Shaoyang Lengjian named after the rivers and lakes, but Miss is also very important by her side, this person is really capable......

Suddenly, the shoulders of the person in the chair trembled slightly, and he coughed softly: "It's the end." ”

Lan Suwan took the wheelchair in her hand and said in a slight condensed voice: "Yingli will lead the way." ”

The woman in red looked back and pressed a button, and the horizontal couch that came through the light above immediately closed slowly.

Lan Suwan turned her face to look at the pavilion here, only to find that the night pearls embedded in the lower walls of the four walls slowly lit up.

At a glance, there are both walls, the amount of segments is embedded, the number is innumerable, and I can't help but be a little surprised, although I am from the Shocking Cloud Pavilion, but I don't know that the Shocking Cloud Pavilion actually has such a solid, can be described as a pile of gold and jade.

"Mr. and Miss Duanmu, please come with me. Yingli said softly, and led the two to the depths of the pavilion.

In a stone room with four walls like jade, Mei Shuying sat cross-legged on the green jade couch, concentrating and pranayama.

The room is brightly lit, there are paper, ink, pens and inkstones on the table on the side of the couch, and the spread of rice paper is soaked in a drop of ink, which melts like a lotus, and seems to have been soaked through the rice paper to the green jade case below.

"Childe. Jiuli stood beside him and said in a condensed voice, "Childe, do you still feel uncomfortable?"

The person sitting quietly on the jade couch opened his eyes, and as usual, he picked up the jade bone fan on the side of his leg and swirled it in his palm. "Not really. ”

He got down from the couch, only to feel that the sharp pain in the afternoon came too suddenly, but he couldn't feel that something was wrong, so he casually asked: "Yingli, why don't you see her come down one day." ”

Jiuli was silent for a moment, and was about to open his mouth to explain, when he met the person in front of him, his eyebrows were slight, and he suddenly said, "An outsider has broken in." ”

Jiuli was stunned for a moment, and asked in a daze: "Yes...... How many?"

"Just one person. A very slight sound passed on the top of the pavilion rock, Mei Shuying's expression was grim, and she flashed to the door of the stone chamber in one step, and quickly pressed the switch to open the stone door.

The white clothes were about to rush out, but they saw that there were three people in front of the stone room, where they were used to resting and no one had disturbed them.

The white clothes are dazzling, and the eyes are in the heart.

"Duanmu Immortal?!" he quickly cooled between his eyebrows, shook his hand and shouted coldly: "What are you doing here?, how did you get in?!"

"Childe. Yingli immediately bowed her head and knelt down: "It was Yingli who led the Duanmu Sect Master and the young lady in without permission." ”

Mei Shuying noticed the blue-clothed girl floating on the side of the person on the chair, and smiled unconsciously: "It turned out that Xiao Suwan was here, but it didn't matter." ”

Lan Suwan looked at the person in front of her who she hadn't seen for many years, and her face was filled with joy: "Brother Mei." ”

Mei Shuying smiled leisurely: "Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve, I originally wanted to take you back in the middle of the night to get together with the old people in the pavilion, and I didn't want you to go back by yourself." He reached out and stroked the top of the girl's hair in front of him as if he was a child, "I haven't seen it for a few years, and my little Su Wan is already so graceful." ”

Lan Suwan's face was slightly red, and she looked at him and smiled softly.

At this time, Jiuli suddenly knelt down behind Mei Shuying and said, "After thinking about it, my subordinates still want to ask Mr. Duanmu to help take a look at the corpse, so I asked Yingli to invite him into the pavilion." ”

Yingli raised her head and looked at Jiuli with some concern.

The smile on Mei Shuying's face spontaneously disappeared when he looked down at the woman sitting quietly in the chair, he withdrew his hand that caressed the top of Lan Suwan's hair, and sneered softly: "You two really trust this 'Mr. Duanmu' more than me, the pavilion master. ”

Jiuli immediately knelt on his side and straightened down: "The subordinates are reckless, but I beg the son to punish him." ”

Mei Shuying snorted coldly, and turned to glance at the man who had never said a word in the chair: "Do you come today to thank my son for saving your life with great mercy, or do you want to kneel down and beg me for the life of the son of the Lezheng family?"
