Chapter Seventy-Two: Residual Obsession
The green mountains are in the clouds, and the mist is misty.
The mountain gate built by the mountain exudes an indescribable magnificence everywhere.
It's just that in the cool mist of the mountains, everything in front of me is a little blurry.
I can't see clearly on the mountain road paved with bluestone slabs, and I can't see the face of the people going back and forth.
It's the shape of the body and the clothing, it's not difficult to distinguish.
Coming down from the direction of the top of the mountain, some people in white shirts and narrow sleeves walked by one after another, making a bunch of threes and twos, occasionally chatting about something, but the voice didn't seem to be loud and couldn't be heard clearly.
One of them is a bit conspicuous.
While everyone else was chatting with each other, the young man in white clothes slowly descended from the top of the mountain alone, and when he saw him, the most he could say hello was not salty, but he did not come forward, and even a few of them looked at him and stayed a little further away.
It seems that this lone Rao is alone.
At this time, from outside the mountain gate, there was a group of dozens of men and women dressed in light blue clothes who were different from these people who came and went, and were led by another person into the mountain gate and went to the mountain
The group of people who were ushered up from the mountain gate, at the signal of the leader Narao, bowed their heads one after another, and saluted the white-clothed pedestrians who passed by them.
Respectfully, most of them, with a clear envy and longing.
Is that......
Ordinary outer disciples who are new to the door, and elite disciples who are inner doors.
Among the people in light blue clothes, a woman raised her head slightly and met a rao look.
The man who happened to walk past them at this moment, alone in white.
The man's breath was gentle and flat, revealing a gentle manner, not arrogant, nor indifferent.
Gentle and introverted.
The woman was also different from the rest of the team, and she didn't feel the envy and excitement of Panrao, but there was something that seemed to be fierce under the calm exterior.
Hard and composed.
This is......
The two met for the first time.
It's just that this side at this time is not the first acquaintance.
A real first acquaintance......
After a long time, within the range of leaving the sect's mountain gate, the embarrassed woman with scars and blood stains all over her body, a little hazy, fell from the Wurao mountain stream into an imperceptible cave, and bumped into the white-clothed man.
Before this accident, this cave was a secret of this man.
He didn't expel her, and she didn't have the strength to leave.
The two of them exchanged a few words, she didn't ask why he was here, and he didn't ask her the cause of her injuries.
The two of them occupied a corner of the cave in silence, no longer talking, no longer looking at each other.
After silently tending to her wounds and resting for a while, the woman got up and took her leave, leaving the secret cave with nothing but a little bit of blood that could not be easily dissipated.
Again, the woman stumbled in, stumbling and stumbling in, although there was not much blood on her body, but she was already stumbling and unsteady. With no choice but to come here again, she once again disturbed the purity of the man who stayed alone inside.
After escaping into the cave, the woman finally couldn't hold it anymore and fainted, and the cave was silent for a long time, but the man finally got up and stepped forward to help her heal.
Since then......
This cave became her refuge.
She still hadn't asked why he was always in the cluster, even though she could occasionally smell a faint smell of blood from him.
He never asked her why she always got hurt or where it came from.
Compared with the embarrassment of the woman, the man was always neatly dressed and sat upright when he was in the cave, and he did not see the decadence or slackness. His collar was always tied high, and the bottom of his neck was not exposed, and no matter how long he sat in the cave, his back was as straight as a bamboo.
Until......
Until one day, the woman saw for the first time in the cave, a man who was unconscious and was about to fall into a coma.
He curled up in a corner of the hole, trembling uncontrollably, but gritting his teeth and refusing to make a sound.
The moment the woman stepped into the cave, he suddenly tensed, but slowly relaxed a little after feeling the familiar breath.
Finally, when she approached, whispering in a worried voice, she lost consciousness.
The woman saw him so embarrassed and defensive for the first time, and she was not at ease with his situation, and there were only two people in the cave at this time, so she had to take matters into her own hands to help him heal.
Just as he had helped himself.
It's just that......
It was the first time she had seen horrible scars under the fabric of his collar that he had always tightened.
When he wakes up and realizes that the secret he has been hiding has been exposed......
The woman half sat in front of him, looking at the man with his head bowed, his temples scattered and his clothes wrinkled, and he looked at him tense as if he was about to break a string to the extreme.
She sat in silence in front of him, for a long time, nothing.
Until, after a long time, the man sighed and fell backwards, leaning against the hard, cold stone wall of the cave.
At this time, the woman's voice sounded.
This is the first and only sentence that can be heard.
'You too...... Do you want revenge?'
......
"Xiao Luo!
The familiar call sounded in his ears, becoming clearer and clearer, revealing unconcealable worry and anxiety.
Xiao Luo opened his eyes, and the previous scene that seemed to be shrouded in mist gradually faded, and even the last sentence, the only thing he could hear and chat, seemed to dissipate in the clouds
At this moment, what he heard in his ears was the voice he was most familiar with.
Everything in front of him became clear, and the first thing he saw was Xue Yuan's frowning eyes full of anxiety, which suddenly melted away after seeing him wake up, turning into a bright surprise.
"Xiao Luo, you're awake!"
Xiao Luo blinked and moved his head, only then did he realize that he was lying on the ground of the cave before.
He sat up with his hands on the ground, and Xue Yuan, who had been watching him beside him, reached out to help.
Xiao Luo sat up and looked around the cave in front of him left and right, his gaze lingering on some parts of the cave for a few more moments.
Really......
The general appearance is still there, but it is about the years, and as the years go by, something is not quite the same.
"Xiao Luo. Xue Yun helped Xiao Luo to sit up, and looked at the pendant made of the Kunwu knife that was still faintly glowing until he opened his eyes and woke up: "How are you?"
Xue Yuan couldn't help but worry.
Although the Kunwu Knife recognized Xiao Luo as the master, Xue Yuan had also seen a similar scene with his own eyes, where the fragments of the Kunwu Knife returned to the main body, but at that time, in the deep valley bamboo forest in the Streamer Grass Mountain Range, Xiao Luo did not faint violently after all the golden-red streamers merged into the pendant like this time.
Xiao Luo turned his head to face Xue Yuan, smiled at her comfortingly, and raised his hands again and stretched: "Hey-it's okay, it's very good, the Kunwu knife has melted back into a fragment, my master feels good, and he has a lot of strength." And...... I think I'll be able to use this Kunwu knife a little more comfortably, but if I want to do whatever I want, I probably have to wait for all the fragments to return and the Kunwu knife is complete. ”
Xue Yun was still not very relieved: "But you just ......"
Xiao Luo narrowed his eyes: "...... I had a dream. ”
"Dream?" Xue Yun was still not very relieved: "Why did you suddenly ...... You didn't fall asleep naturally, you fell asleep all at once. Is it really all right? Isn't it...... Didn't you suffer any impact? Kungo Knife Fragment ......"
Xiao Luo chuckled, raised his hand and rubbed Xue Yuan's hair: "It's really okay, my housekeeper!"
Xue Yun slapped the palm rubbed on his head and gave Xiao Luo a fierce look.
It's just that the action looks ruthless, but he is very careful to restrain his strength, so that the smile in Xiao Luo's eyes when his hand is slapped away does not decrease but increases.
Xue Yun took a deep breath, there was nothing she could do about the guy who didn't remember to make fun of her at this time.
"On the shards of the Kungo Knife...... Or on the Kunwu knife, there is a residual obsession. Perhaps it is this obsession that makes us see it again and again...... The two figures. ”
"Obsession?" Xue Yun was really diverted and stopped glaring at Xiao Luo: "Kunwu Dao's ...... The last master? was one of those two?"
“...... Probably. ”
"Obsessed ......" Xue Yuan paused: "You just had a dream......?
"Hmm......" Xiao Luo groaned for a moment and looked at Xue Yuan: "It's the two phantoms just now, those two people." I made a ...... Dreams related to them. ”
Although even though it was in that dream, the faces of the two rao were still blurred, Xiao Luo was very sure that those two people were the phantoms that Xue Yu had also seen in the cave before, and they were also the two phantoms that accompanied each other in the bamboo forest of the mysterious valley.
"Do you know who they are? But really, it has something to do with your background?"
Xiao Luo shook his head, holding his hands on the ground and raising his head: "The dream is not clearer than what I saw before, I still can't see my face clearly, I can't hear the words clearly, but it's ......"
"But?"
"With a little bit of ...... Clues?"
"What is it?"
"The two of them...... They should all be children of the sect. Xiao Luo remembered the mountain gate he vaguely saw in his dream, and the clothes of those people of different shapes.
"Sect disciple?" Xue Yun frowned slightly: "Do you know which sect it is?"
“...... The official disciple is a white uniform ......"
"White?Xuanqing Gate?"
Nowadays, there are not many sects in the Kyushu Continent, excluding those less famous sects, there are only three sects that can be called top forces. Qiaozhou Demon Palace, Qingzhou Xuanqing Gate, and Naughty Zhou Yin Sect.
In the Demon Hall where Su Run was born, the disciples were in strong clothes with blue patterns embroidered on the ink background, and the dark red and black satin clothes of the Yin Sect on Ling Xia's side, the uniforms of the disciples of these two sects were darker. The only person who wears a white robe with a white background and blue satin with wide sleeves is the Xuancheongmen Gate in Cheongju.
Therefore, when Xiao Luo was dressed in white, the first thing that Xue Yuan thought of was Xuanqingmen.
In the follow-up treatment of the Streamer Grass Mountain Range and Su Zhen, he was mixed with the Feng family and the Tang family to talk about Xuanqingmen.
It was only Xue Yuan who thought of this, and Xiao Luo shook his head: "It's not Xuanqingmen." ”
“...... Huh?"
"It's the same color, but it'...... Not the same. ”
Xiao Luo has traveled abroad since he was a teenager, and he has seen a lot of monks from various families, and he has naturally met the disciples of Xuanqing Sect, and he has some understanding of what people look like. That's why he knew very well that the white clothes he saw in his dream should be the disciples of the inner gate, which were different from the uniforms of the Xuanqing Sect.
Xue Yun heard that it was not Xuanqingmen, and although he lost his direction for a while, he was also relieved.
Judging from the fact that Xuanqingmen has a lot to do with the Feng family now, it is really not a good thing that the things they want to investigate have something to do with Xuanqingmen.
"It's not Xuanqingmen, that's ...... Not a sect of the top powers?"
Xiao Luo paused slightly, but still shook his head:
"No, it won't. In my dream, I vaguely saw the mountain gate where the sect was stationed...... It will not be an obscure sect. ”
Xiao Luo's words are actually not over.
In fact, although everything he saw in his dream was a little blurry, Xiao Luo was still very sure.
That peak, that gate.
Don't be a sect today, even if it is a top force like the Xuanqing Sect, the Demon Palace, and the Yin Sect, it is incomparable.
“...... Xiao Luo. ”
"Huh?"
"That story ......"
Xiao Luo was slightly stunned and looked at Xue Yuan.
It is not the three major sects, and it will never be those sects that they are not familiar with, but on the Kyushu Continent today, where are there any sects that can match what Xiao Luo saw in his dream?
Unless......
It's gone.
So, Xue Yu thought of the biography story about Yuanzhou.
A pair of young men and women, who have gone through all kinds of hardships, have been pushed to a once great hypocritical force on the territory of Yuanzhou.
Xiao Luo's eyes flashed, and he couldn't figure out what kind of feeling he felt when he suddenly slipped through the bottom of his heart: "...... Yes...... Is that a coincidence?"
They listened to a story about the great power of Wonju and a couple of men and women.
In this cave in Wonju, they saw a pair of phantoms of a man and a woman because of the fragments of the Kungo knife.
The current owner of the Kunwu Dao fell into a dream because of the obsession on the fragment, and saw that the man and woman were once disciples of a magnificent and huge sect.
"Why not?" Xue Yun said calmly: "Nothing, it's impossible." Maybe...... In the dark, there is self-intention. ”
“...... All right. Xiao Luo sighed and turned his neck: "It's good to string it up, so as not to have a lot of trouble and it will be difficult to check." If so...... It has become a thing, and it can really save a lot of effort. ”
Xue Yun also sighed.
Xiao Luo is right, there are a lot of clues.
At first, she faked her death and left the Xue family and walked out of Mianzhou, all she wanted to find out was the cause of death of her father Xue Yu. Behold......
Step by step, little by little, the more you know, the more you don't know.
Qingyun Jue, Shangguan Family, Kunwu Knife, Mysterious Figure, Xiao Luo's Life Experience, Kyushu Jiujing, Yuanzhou Biography......
“...... Xiao Luo. ”
"Huh?"
"You...... We can see the figure before the fragments merge into the main body of the Kunwu Sword, because on the Kunwu Knife, it is likely that the obsession left by the previous master. That...... The last owner of the Kunwu Knife, in the end, what happened?"
