After Wangxianglou separated, Lin Yuan and Yue Qingfeng returned to the other courtyard.

I don't know when a light snow drifted outside the window, the two sat opposite each other, the white jade chessboard was horizontal in the middle, Qiuyuan cooked wine, and the next person quietly retreated after putting on some pastries, and there were children in the distance exclaiming, 'It's snowing', and the atmosphere was peaceful and peaceful. Yue Qingfeng's body was weak, he coughed for a while, he was holding Tang Pozi in his hand, and the brazier was also placed close to him, but Lin Yuan, Lili Suosuo was dressed in a strong suit, and he didn't feel cold, so he just looked at his friend helplessly.

"Why is it always not good?" He couldn't help but speak.

"It's not that it's good to say it's good...... Yue Qingfeng coughed again, and his face was slightly sickly red, "It's good to get used to it." ”

Lin Yuan shook his head, "Isn't there a way for Divine Doctor Shen?" That's the longest he's been with you, right? ”

Yue Qingfeng glanced up at him, but smiled silently, and the sunspot in his hand fell lightly on the chessboard. Lin Yuan saw that he acquiesced, and there was even more unhappiness in his heart, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to follow.

The two played chess in silence. Compared with Yue Qingfeng's carelessness, Shen Yuan Gongzi was obviously more cautious about the trend of the chess game, and at first he was able to keep up with his friend's speed, but later, he had to think for a long time about every step, and the progress of the game slowed down.

Qiu Yuan poured the warm wine into the cup, Lin Yuan picked it up and took a sip, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Good wine!" You kid really don't wronged himself anywhere, you can still get such a good pear blossom in this capital city. ”

"I found it just for you." Yue Qingfeng smiled and picked up the wine glass, and a glass of warm wine was put down, and suddenly the whole person warmed up a lot.

"On this kind of first snow day, it is still the best time to drink pear blossoms." Knowing that Yue Qingfeng hadn't forgotten his preferences, and that he still had this friend in his heart, Lin Yuan's mood suddenly improved, "I also buried wine on Wushan, but it's a pity that the vintage is slightly shallow, and there is no such mellow fragrance." ”

Yue Qingfeng smiled lightly and turned his head to look at the courtyard. The snow grew from small to heavy, and soon a layer of hoarfrost was laid on the courtyard floor, and the world seemed to be silent. It's a great day to drink when you want snow late.

After drinking two cups in a row, Lin Yuan picked up the chess pieces again, glanced at the chess game, and was surprised, "When did your chess style become so fierce?" ”

Yue Qingfeng's eyes turned to the chessboard, and when he saw the black dragon killing all directions, he didn't expect it, and his fingers pinching the chess pieces tightened, and then chuckled, "It turns out that it is difficult to hide the anger after a thousand cover-ups." Well, since it was seen, he didn't bother to make a detour, so Brother Lin would take care of it. ”

Lin Yuan dropped down and looked up at him deeply.

is still the person who is light and breezy, so handsome that it does not seem to be in the world, the smile at the corner of his mouth is light and shallow, his eyes are deep and warm, no matter how he looks at it, it is not like a fierce beast in his belly, entrenched and flamboyant.

"What kind of problem did you encounter that you couldn't solve?" He asked softly.

"Hmm." Yue Qingfeng replied lightly, "It's tricky." ”

“……”

can make the young master of the dignified Yue family say the word 'very tricky', it seems that the problem really can't be solved, at least there is no solution that can make him feel satisfied.

He had known Yue Qingfeng for many years, and Lin Yuan knew very well how strong this person's desire to control was. What he says cannot be refuted, what he does cannot be questioned, everything must be under control, and he will always have a good heart. It is said that he has lived in a simple house for many years in order to cultivate his self-cultivation, but in fact, he hides his nature, how proud the young man who single-handedly flattened the eighteen water villages, and how introverted the young master of the Yue family is now, in essence, he is still the same person, but he has changed his way to be himself.

What is beyond his control?

"Because of Xi Yutang?" For some reason, Lin Yuan suddenly thought of this name.

Yue Qingfeng was about to pick up the wine glass, and when he heard the familiar name, he paused slightly, and then drank the wine in the glass casually, and responded, "Hmm." ”

Sure enough, it was him......

Lin Yuan felt a complicated feeling in his heart, was silent for a moment, and raised his head, "I can't understand your mind anymore, Qingfeng." Your attitude towards him at the martial arts conference was amazing, and now it's like this, I'm afraid the problem you said is not to deal with him, but to help him, the old enemy is just a trick to put out, am I right? ”

"Hmm." Yue Qingfeng said lightly, "I like her." ”

“……”

Almost thinking that there was a hallucination in his ears, Lin Yuan was dumbfounded, and even the chess pieces he had just picked up accidentally fell back into the chess box, staring at the person in front of him for a long time without speaking.

"Your heart ......," he couldn't even say those two words, "...... It's true?! ”

"What are you lying about?" Yue Qingfeng laughed, "You have been my friend for many years, you still don't believe my words?" ”

"However, Xi Yutang is ......"

"What is it?"

“……”

What it is, he can't tell!

Glancing at his friend who was shocked, Yue Qingfeng's smile gradually rose, his eyes fell back on the chessboard, and he looked at the violent sunspots one by one, and then said lightly, "Brother Lin, have you ever thought that one day, you and I will stand on the opposite side?" It's like this chess game. ”

"......" Lin Yuan's reason slowly returned, his expression was complicated and difficult to understand, and his tone became difficult, "I don't understand what you mean." ”

"You know." Yue Qingfeng smiled, "The people standing behind Ouyang Xuan want to dominate the martial arts, and they have great intentions for my Yue family and the Xuantian Sect. I don't know how much you know about Ouyang Alliance's actions, but at least you can feel it. Don't talk about it from afar, just talk about today's events, why does he want to promote me and Jiang Qiantong? You don't want to think about it, but I want to force you to think about it. ”

Lin Yuan closed his eyes in pain, "Why do you have to tell me this?" ”

The chess game could not continue, and Yue Qingfeng stretched out his slender fingers and slowly put the black and white chess pieces together one by one. He collected it very slowly, as if he wanted to put the anger in his heart into the chess box at the same time, and when he touched those sunspots, even his fingertips were extremely cold.

"You fight swords, make friends, and are obsessed with martial arts, but you have no interest in these intrigues, conspiracies, and power techniques. But you were born in the Broken Yue Sect, Ouyang Xuan has the grace of reinvention for you, as the eldest disciple of the martial arts alliance master, you can't escape these things. ”

He spoke lightly, in a calm and calm tone, as if he were having a normal small talk with a friend.

can be heard in Lin Yuan's ears, but every word is heartfelt.

"In the past, your master had Han Wenyan under him, so he was willing to let you do what you wanted to do and take a completely different path of life from him. But now that Han Wenyan is dead, the Broken Yuemen has been hit hard because of the Jiangnan Gang, and Song Jitong was killed, it is already in decline, but the Xuantian Sect and the Yue family are still in full swing...... cough cough cough, after today's incident, Xi Yutang will definitely officially break with the Wulin League, and even if my Yue family wants to stand by and watch, sooner or later they will be dragged into the water. Brother Lin...... How long do you think you'll be able to escape? ”

“……”

"The martial arts are going to be messed up, Brother Lin." Yue Qingfeng rubbed a chess piece and was silent for a long time, "Where to go, have you thought about it?" ”

＃＃＃

"It's snowing......"

In an inconspicuous mansion in the south of the city, there are also two people sitting quietly in front of the living room, one with dark clothes and silver white masks, and the other with a tender yellow Luo shirt that captivates the country and the city.

The girl in yellow was lying on the chessboard, looking sideways at the falling snow in the courtyard, the cold air blowing in front of her face, and the warmth of the brazier crackling in the back, she only felt as if she was in an empty wasteland, and she didn't want to think about anything, she didn't want to face anything.

The two hadn't spoken since the masked man across from them said that.

Jiang Qiantong had many questions in her heart, so many that she almost burst her mind, but for some reason, she just had an intuition that as long as she asked, Xi Yutang would definitely say it, but what she said might make her unbearable.

So she retracted into her shell, and lay on her stomach in silence, not wanting not to listen or watch, pretending that she was just here to chat and play chess with him watching the snow.

But she knew that Xi Yutang said that he would not live long, which must be the truth.

She also knew that the insipidity that had been maintained between the Xuantian Sect and them for more than ten years from the Snow Palace was coming to an end.

Don't want to wake up.

Xi Yutang is not a master of making tea, and he has been mixing with Yue Qingfeng Xi Yulan for a long time, but he only understands it, and he is making tea by himself at this time. The small but delicate stove put boiling water on it, then washed the cup, dropped the tea, brewed, ordered tea, and waited for the fragrant cup of tea to be placed in front of Jiang Qiantong, the latter sat up slowly, tried to take a sip, and looked up at the other side, although the latter was calm and calm, his eyes directly hooked her nervousness.

“…… I can still enter. Jiang Qiantong pouted.

The person on the other side breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning his head to look at the snow outside, Xi Yutang put down the tea set in his hand, suddenly got up, picked his toes, hooked the long sword placed next to Jiang Qiantong into his hand, and the whole person fell lightly and landed in the center of the courtyard.

"How about teaching you a set of swordsmanship?" She lifted her chin and smiled at the surprised girl, "Look at it." ”

As she spoke, she stood without saying a word, raised her wrist and turned her wrist, and a set of flowing swordsmanship flowed out from the tip of her sword.

Her movements are light, but not refreshed, her true qi travels all over her body and converges in the palm of her hand, and then conveys to the sword in her hand, her posture is elegant and stretched, her footwork is subtle, and one move is deadly. This is a set of swordsmanship suitable for women, which can maximize the advantages of women's dexterity and changeability, and can also try to avoid natural defects in strength and endurance.

This is the sword of killing.

As the sword momentum began to become rapid, the snow and frost all over the ground seemed to be blown up by a strong wind, and the whole courtyard was dazzling, and the pears were fluttering. Jiang Qiantong looked straight, and unconsciously got up and came to the courtyard, compared his sword with his hand, and moved with Xi Yutang's movements.

At first, the movements were jerky, then slowly touched the entrance, and then gradually got better and better. The movements of the two gradually began to coincide, every movement and stroke were the same, and slowly, only the neat movements of the two people and the flying snow dancing in the sky were left between heaven and earth, and even the trajectories drawn under their feet were extremely similar, as if two identical paintings were superimposed.

Finally, after another sword dance, the two stopped at the same time. Jiang Qiantong stood in place panting, his cheeks were crimson, and his eyes were as bright as stars, while Xi Yutang had a steady breath and threw the long sword in his hand to her with a faint smile.

"Remember?"

"Hmm!" The girl nodded vigorously and looked at her excitedly, "Such a powerful swordsmanship, where did you learn it?" What is your name? ”

Xi Yutang smiled and walked back to the hall, and under the agitation of true qi, all the snow that fell on his body was steamed. On the other side, Jiang Qiantong happily followed her back to the same place, and her beautiful little face was full of answers, which made people laugh for a while.

"This sword technique is called the Flying Frost Mingxin Sword, which has been lost for a long time, and it was left by a female hero who has become an ancient man many years ago." Xi Yutang started making tea again, "I destroyed the cheats after I learned it, but it's a waste to put it here for me, you are very suitable, and teaching you will not bury the hard work of that senior." ”

"Flying Frost Mingxin Sword ......" Jiang Qiantong chewed the name slowly, and the one move and style of the sword technique echoed in his mind, the more he thought about it, the more wonderful he felt, and he was immediately overjoyed, "Good swordsmanship!" Good name! ”

Xi Yutang smiled lightly, and after making tea once, it became smooth, and soon placed two cups of tea for the two of them.

"How can you learn such exercises?" Jiang Meizi swept away the previous gloomy mood, her little face flushed, and she looked very happy.

"I won't refuse to come." Xi Yutang put down the teacup and answered patiently, "The exercises I practice are special, and I need all kinds of other exercises to support, whether it is internal strength, heart method, external strength, sword method, swordsmanship, eighteen kinds of weapons are not picked, feminine and masculine don't matter...... So I can also say, I know a little bit of everything. ”

"Wow!" Jiang Qiantong's eyes widened in surprise, "There is actually such an exercise?!" ”

Xi Yutang smiled, "If you are willing to teach me the inner strength of the Snow Palace, I can also learn it." ”

“…… Don't you need to learn my swordsmanship? ”

"I will."

“！！！”

Looking at the person opposite in shock, thinking that since he knew this person, he had never won half a move against him in swordsmanship, and immediately pouted. But soon, she realized the problem and hurriedly asked, "No, you have no taboos like this, aren't you afraid that you will practice unsuitable exercises and go mad?" It's just like you took the road of opening and closing before, but if you learn my heart method of leaving the Snow Palace, wouldn't it be a collision of yin and yang? ”

…… The response is really fast.

Xi Yutang sighed secretly in his heart and shook his head, "I said, this is because of my exercises...... Stretch out your hand. ”

The girl stretched out her hand in a daze.

Xi Yutang pulled her finger and put it on his pulse, and said lightly, "Give you a chance to explore the Xuantian Sect Master's internal strength meridians." ”

Jiang Qiantong's eyes widened, and then he was excited and nervous, and cautiously crossed a wisp of true qi into it. However, after a moment, he let go with a scream, and the whole person fell to the ground.

"How...... What's going on? She turned pale with shock, "What's wrong with your true anger?" ”

Why is there such a tyrannical and disorderly internal force?

Messy, irritable, disorderly, and invasive. Slight ...... Isn't it, isn't it a sign of madness?!

"That's it." Xi Yutang sighed and met her trembling eyes, "That's what I said, I won't live long." ”

…… I went around in a circle, and finally I came back here.

Qiantong, I'm sorry.

Jiang Qiantong's little face was bloodless in an instant, as if he had lost his soul, and his hand supporting his body continued to weaken, and he almost fell to the ground. After a long time, she struggled to sit up, her voice trembling like a sieve, "Don't lie to me...... You weren't like this when you helped me sort out my true qi in Wangxiang Tower today, how could anyone go crazy and still sit still like this? I don't believe ......"

"Ugh."

Xi Yutang sighed, took her hand, and without saying a word, handed over a wisp of true qi into it, steady, powerful, gentle, and without any flaws, shocking Jiang Qiantong's whole person to freeze in place.

“…… The exercises that support me are very domineering, and without enough exercises to supplement, I can't advance, and if I do, there are huge hidden dangers. Her voice was soft and slow, constantly organizing the language, trying to make the other party understand her words, "The advantages of this exercise in the early stage outweigh the disadvantages, I can have this strength at a young age, it is thanks to it, the further back, the greater the hidden danger, what you see is just my normal state, really go crazy, you can't suppress the two." ”

Jiang Qiantong looked at her fixedly, and said after a while, "Then what if...... Really crazy? ”

"Die."

“……”

Almost as soon as her words fell, the girl's eyes turned red, "Then, will you?" ”

"I can't say." Xi Yutang smiled, "Maybe tomorrow I will explode and die?" ”

“………… Then you're still laughing!! Jiang Qiantong suddenly raised his voice.

Xi Yutang immediately closed his mouth and pursed his lips.

After a long moment of shock before digesting the shocking truth, the girl looked at her with a gaze full of rebuke, "Why do you want to practice such a magic skill?!" ”

"I'm the Demon Sect Master." Xi Yutang replied lightly.

"You're not!"

“……”

Sighing again, Xi Yutang felt that the breath he sighed today was about to catch up with this life, "Qiantong, I need strength." ”

Jiang Qiantong stared at her motionlessly.

"I want revenge." She curled the corners of her mouth again, "And my enemies are very strong, if I want to kill them, and if I want to survive in the shortest time, I need to be strong as quickly as possible." If it weren't for this magic skill, I'm afraid you wouldn't know me now, would you? ”

“……”

trembling and moving his lips, Jiang Qiantong couldn't say the words to his mouth, and after a long time, he swallowed his throat and asked with difficulty, "You tell me the truth...... Among your enemies, do I have a master? Are you going to kill her? You...... You're going to be against the Snow Palace, aren't you? ”

Xi Yutang looked back at her calmly, "Yes." ”

Tears burst out of her eyes in an instant.

Looking at the tearful girl in front of him silently, Xi Yutang couldn't bear it, closed his eyes, and still said the words, "Your master has been listening to the rain pavilion since more than ten years ago, and I didn't find out about this until I went to Jiangnan, and she was still related to the death of my father...... Between me and Liu Manyun, there is bound to be a life-and-death fight. ”

When the words fell, Jiang Qiantong covered his mouth in horror.

"Some people - like me, such as Yue Qingfeng - will bloom like an epiphany in your life, you will feel amazing at first acquaintance, but soon it will wither, and you will be sad and sad, but you will not know the flower again for it."

She stared fixedly at the person in front of her.

"Qiantong, this world of martial arts is going to be chaotic. I hope that whether you are involved or not, you will not let these things wear out your true nature. If one day you and I are unfortunate and we meet each other, I hope that everything you do can be worthy of your heart. ”

"I'm going to tell you this today, do you understand what it means?"
