At night, the moonlight shone in the courtyard, sprinkling a desert.

The mountain ghost dances the sword under the moon, although he wears a mask, holds a black iron sheet in his hand, and is not very chic Chengying, wearing a shabby black robe, he is not very powerful.

But the swordsmanship is superb.

Chengying seemed to have no sword blade under the moon, and as the mountain ghost's body moved, only an invisible sword light always accompanied him.

His figure scattered and gathered in the moonlight, sometimes dividing into many dancing phantoms, and sometimes returning to one place, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it was really hard to imagine that there was such a strange swordsmanship in this world.

The mountain ghost loves the sword and ignores the things around him, but in the courtyard, there is actually one more person.

Jeruwan.

The eldest princess of the Northern Dynasty, she sat on the steps outside the wing, wearing a plain skirt, braids, and her hands on her chin, watching the mountain ghost dance the long sword under the moon, bringing a chill, and her movements were light and ethereal.

It seems that the next moment, this peerless swordsman is about to step on the moon.

Yeluwan's heart was relaxed.

It seems that the pressure that has been shrouded in her for a long time has suddenly disappeared, and the whole person has become a little sunny, and there is finally a smile on her pretty face.

Happy to die.

The national teacher was seriously injured by the leader of the alliance and died at the hands of Shen Qiu.

Without happy oppression, his younger brother can live a much easier life in the Northern Dynasty, maybe while the Tongwu Sect has no leader, his younger brother can still capture some of the government in his hands little by little.

But anyway, after Happy died, his brother's safety was finally safe.

"This trip was not in vain."

Yeluwan's heart was relieved, and her thoughts wandered, and she remembered the experience of the mountain ghost in front of her protecting her out of the encirclement in the night battle a few days ago.

If there is no person in front of him, he will definitely die in the chaos.

But why should he save himself?

Ye Luwan thought about it, the mountain ghost obviously hated all the people of the Northern Dynasties, but he protected himself to escape from the military formation and slash all the way, was it really just because Shen Qiu told him?

In her thoughts, after the mountain ghost's set of swordsmanship was finished, she put the sword back into its sheath.

Chengying had such a sword, but the mountain ghost had casually equipped it with a wooden-cut scabbard, which looked very strange and cheap, but he didn't care about it.

After receiving the sword, he went back to the wing room and read it at night.

Seeing the mountain ghost coming, Yeluwan hurriedly stood up and took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, but the mountain ghost walked straight over and returned to the room as if he didn't see it.

With a bang, the door slammed shut.

Blocking Yeluwan from the door made the eldest princess angry.

This man...

It's really weird, the temperament is straight, and it's hopeless!

She stomped her foot, then turned back to her yard.

As she walked out of the courtyard gate, she looked back at the house with the candle flame lit, and from the window paper, she could vaguely see the projection of the mountain ghost holding a book.

She also heard Qingqing talk about the past of mountain ghosts, and knew some of this person's past, so it was no wonder that he developed such a withdrawn temperament.

He has a strange temper and kills people without blinking.

But he and his sword, when protected in front of him, are indeed very reassuring.

Yeluwan smiled and turned to leave.

In the room, the mountain ghost holding the book listened to the footsteps outside the window, and he was also relieved, and he also had doubts in his heart.

This eldest princess of the Northern Dynasty, isn't there something wrong with her brain?

Others were scared enough to see him killing, and she actually took the initiative to go up.

What is she going to do?

Alas.

The mountain ghost sighed.

He didn't care about what Ye Luwan was thinking, and he didn't plan to ask, he wasn't his brother Shen Qiu, he understood the thoughts of his youngest daughter's family, and he still had a lot to do.

Let's read the book first.

The mountain ghost's gaze fell on the scroll in his hand, and then, his gaze tightened.

He was silent and flipped the book in his hand over.

I followed the place I didn't finish yesterday, and then looked down.

At the same time, in the main hall of the villa.

Shen Qiu, as a filial son, must be a guardian.

But it's only tonight, and tomorrow Uncle Ren's brother will arrive in Jinling, so he won't have to stay by this coffin every night.

The candles in the hall were flickering, and the wind was ringing outside the window, and ordinary people were guarding the coffin alone, which would be afraid that their hearts would be full of fear, but Shen Qiu didn't care.

He knew that Uncle Ren would not turn into a ghost to scare him.

Because of Ren Hao's soul, at this time, he was in the dream of Jianyu, practicing martial arts with him.

With this good coach who is proficient in Liangyi Divine Fist, he has been taught by this good coach who is proficient in Liangyi Divine Fist, and after a few days of hard work, Shen Qiu has become proficient in the advanced boxing skills of Liangyi Divine Fist, and there are signs of entering the house.

Other martial arts have not relaxed, and the Soul Destroying Divine Claw must be intensified to practice.

A few days ago, this palm technique injured ten thousand poisons, which shows that the divine claws are exquisite and extraordinary.

The dispersed Xue Ji True Qi has also been through the exercises of the Xuan Dao Canon, and it is being quickly rebuilt, and these two mental methods are originally from the same source, but the Xuan Dao Canon is more complicated than the Xue Ji Mental Method.

But the general luck route remains the same, with the experience and foundation of Xue Ji's mental method, it is not difficult for Shen Qiu to quickly master this miracle skill.

"Huh"

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and someone flew over, landing outside the main hall, without alarming the people in the rivers and lakes who were guarding the spirits around, but this subtle movement was noticed by Shen Qiu.

He opened his eyes and looked out the door.

"Squeak"

The door was pushed open, and the night breeze poured into the hall, blowing Shen Qiu's head to move.

"Brother Lu, if you want to mourn, just come openly in broad daylight, why do you bother to do this gentleman's thing?"

Shen Qiu stood up and looked at Lu Guizang, who was carrying a sword and walked into the room.

He said:

"Or did you come here with a sword to vent your anger about your father and Uncle Ren?"

"In Brother Shen's heart, Lu is such a person?"

Lu Guizang replied with a lack of interest, showing indifference.

He is this kind of character, except for being by Dongfang Ce's side, he almost never says a word, he is very indifferent, but he is familiar with him, but he also knows that he is not arrogant.

It's just that by nature.

He put the long sword in his hand on the table, and under Shen Qiu's gaze, he took a few steps forward, took out the incense candle he brought from his sleeve, lit it on the candlestick, and inserted it into the incense burner in front of the coffin.

And like the other mourners, he prostrated to the coffin.

"As everyone knows, my father died at the hands of Ren Hao, and the defeat of the Lu family began when my father lost the position of leader of the alliance. But in my heart, I don't have much hatred for Ren Hao. ”

Lu Guizang stood up straight, sighed, and there was no one around, so he said to Shen Qiu, who was standing aside, as if he was talking:

"Not only did he not hate, but he admired it.

I asked myself if I could be as focused on the battle between good and evil as Ren Hao, and I was willing to risk my life for this matter.

This is the journey of a righteous man, and I admire it in my heart, so I come to mourn.

It's just that his father's hatred is in his body, and it is inconvenient to come over during the day, which makes Brother Shen smile. ”

"No smile."

Shen Qiu waved his hand, and he said:

"In broad daylight, everyone came crying and crying, eager to pretend to be silent and dead, so that others could know that they were all saddened by the death of a decent leader.

But what he says in his mouth is good, but in his heart it is like business.

With the death of Uncle Ren, this Wulong Villa has become a miasma, if there is no white cloth of this spirit flag, others still think that we will hold a martial arts conference in the villa.

It's really lively. ”

He shook his head, arched his hand to Lu Guizang, and said:

"If Uncle Ren knows everything, he will like Brother Lu's sincere condolences in the future. It's just that Brother Lu also said that his father's revenge is in his body, and he must take revenge.

Now that Uncle Ren is dead, what about your family's grudges? ”

Shen Qiu's words were to the point.

Lu Guizang accompanied Dongfang to come to Wulong Villa this time, in fact, for this matter.

He didn't answer, just looked at the black fist gloves on Shen Qiu's hand, and the young man in Tsing Yi said:

"Before Ren Hao died, he chose you to be the heir to the mantle, and I know this. He is also your elder, and he has the grace of teaching art, so the grievances between my Lu family and Ren Hao will naturally fall on Brother Shen.

Four years later, at the martial arts conference, I will challenge Brother Shen. ”

Lu Guizang put his hands behind his back and said bluntly:

"At that time, I hope that Brother Shen will not keep his hands and have a good fight with Lu, after this battle, no matter who wins or loses, the grievances will disappear."

"Four years?"

There was no fear or embarrassment on Shen Qiu's face, he looked at Lu Guizang and said:

"I see that Brother Lu's momentum is hidden deep in his chest, his divine light is restrained, and between walking, his true qi is not leaked at all, I am afraid that there is a sign of a breakthrough. Four years later, Brother Lu is afraid that he is already in the heavenly list. ”

"So what?"

Lu Guizang also looked at Shen Qiu, and he said:

"Brother Shen hid deeply before, neither I nor Dongfang found out, thinking that Brother Shen was just a martial art at the top of the list, but he could attack and kill ten thousand poisons, which proved that Brother Shen also hid a hand.

Four years later, Brother Shen is also destined to be a person in the heavenly list. I shouldn't say that I, Lu Guizang, bullied you, right? ”

"No, it won't."

In front of Ren Hao's coffin, Shen Qiu shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Four years later, if Shen really fails, it will be my inability to do it, and I can't complain about others. However, that was also four years later, and the world is impermanent, who can say clearly?

On the contrary, it is Brother Lu, compared to the four-year appointment with me, I am anxious about Dongfang Ce's affairs.

As his best friend, don't you want to think of a way? ”

Shen Qiu's question made Lu Guizang, who had a calm face, also sigh for a long time.

He seemed to have changed from a martial arts master to an indecisive person all of a sudden, and he frowned and said:

"I want to leave the villa with Dongfang, and if I want to come to Wuyang, the real person will not make a big fight at Ren Hao's funeral, if I really want to fight, I am not afraid of him.

It's just that Dongfang is a man of affection.

He was raised as a parent by Wuyang Zhenren since he was a child, and he has a deep relationship with his master, and he doesn't want to see me and Wuyang Zhenren sword facing each other.

He told me that he was sorry for the cultivation of the sect, and he wanted to follow Wuyang Zhenren back to Taiyue Mountain to face the wall and think about it.

But, ten years ago. ”

Lu Guizang turned his head to look at the cold moon outside the window, and he whispered:

"There are a few decades in a person's life.

I really can't bear to see him suffer this calamity, but I can't disobey the ideas of the East, if because of me, let him cut off his robe and break his righteousness, turn his back on the sect, and have a bad reputation, this is the real harm to him. ”

"You have to make up your mind early, Brother Lu."

Shen Qiu shook his head and whispered:

"When I came to Jinling before, I talked to Wuyang Zhenren, according to what I saw, if Dongfang Ce followed back to Taiyue Mountain, I am afraid that next, it will not be as simple as facing the wall.

Wuyang Zhenren has the heart to reverse Dongfang Ce's 'hidden disease', and wants to find a family for him.

also said that even if his martial arts were abolished, he would be tied up in the cave room. ”

"Ahh

A trace of tension and heaviness flashed in Lu Guizang's sword eyes.

He knows the mind of the East, and travels with the East to the famous mountains and rivers of the northern place, and he is a fellow believer.

For them, the soothing of the soul is much more important than the companionship of the body, and it is much more pure.

Temporary separation is secondary, and it is not unbearable, but if Wuyang Zhenren really wants to forcibly let Dongfang Ce get married, this is to completely break the relationship between the two.

"Brother Lu, I didn't mean you."

Shen Qiu saw Lu Guizang's helpless appearance, and he said softly:

"I am a very open-minded person, and I am happy to see your affairs with the East come to fruition. Same-sex love is often purer than that between people of the opposite sex, but in today's era, the atmosphere is very feudal.

Both of you are from a martial arts family.

Not to mention the East, as the pillar of the Lu family, do you have to never marry in the future?

According to me, instead of being so stiff, the two of you should go home separately and complete the inheritance of the lineage, and when you have a bloodline and a inheritance, the elders in the family will not be so harsh anymore.

To go further, it is better to take a step back.

If you continue to stalemate like this, it will not be good for you or for the East. ”

"Alas, I have also talked to Dongfang about these things."

Lu Guizang's gaze was on the ground, and he whispered:

"But the two of me don't want to do this, pure, pure, pure, mixed with the others, and it tastes. I still have a compatriot brother in my family, who is not in the rivers and lakes, and has also married his relatives.

There is still a little sister at home.

Inheriting the big things, there are two of them, but it is very difficult to do it in the east.

Well, I'll ask him again. ”

After speaking, Lu Guizang picked up his sword, arched his hand to Shen Qiu, and then started to sweep into the night sky, but after a few breaths, he spun around in the air again, and fell back deftly.

He said to Shen Qiu, who was stunned:

"There's something I forgot to tell you."

"Some time ago, Dongfang and I traveled in Qilu, and I happened to hear that some decent small sects there have united, saying that they want to come to Wulong Villa to find Ren Hao to do justice."

Lu Guizang looked at Shen Qiu, and he said in a deep voice:

"They said that a year ago, Heluo Daxia, regardless of the reason, wiped out five decent sects in a row in the land of Qilu and killed nearly 100 people, and they made a lot of noise in the local area.

also pushed a senior in the rivers and lakes, saying that he wanted this blood feud and asked for justice.

Calculating the time, in the day or two of Ren Hao's burial, they are estimated to come.

This happened very strangely, they are afraid that they are coming to ruin your reputation, and they are malicious with their intentions, this time without Ren Hao's suppression, if you don't deal with it well, you will be famous, I am afraid that it will be in vain.

Brother Shen, you have to be careful. ”

Shen Qiu nodded, his face calm, and he didn't seem surprised.

He said to Lu Guizang:

"Shen thanked Brother Lu Gao Yi for informing him of this matter in advance, Brother Lu doesn't have to worry, I already have my own plans. But since that's the point, I still want to ask Brother Lu for a favor. ”

"After Uncle Ren killed your father by mistake, in order to protect the Lu family from being sought by the enemy, he lived in Guizang Villa for half a year to suppress the situation.

If after a few days, things change.

I also want to ask Brother Lu to protect the people of Wulong Villa on my behalf, and the time does not have to be too long, just half a year.

Is Brother Lu willing? ”

"You're... Do you want to break the net? ”

Lu Guizang stood outside the door, a trace of surprise flashed on his handsome face, and he said:

"Why?

Even if there is no Ren Hao, there are Huang Wumiao, Yuanwu Zen Master, and Lin Yundong are here, they will not abandon you and ignore you.

As you just said to me, it's better to take a step back than to go further. What if they are left to say? The predecessors who became famous in the rivers and lakes, which one has no stain on his body?

Even people like Ren Hao, some people say that he is a demon sect Zhang Moxie and has bad intentions. ”

"Those jumping clowns are not enough to worry about, Brother Lu. It's not about a dead fish, it's about being prepared. ”

Shen Qiu stretched out his hand and patted Ren Hao's coffin, and he whispered:

"In the past few years, Shen has not had many friends and many enemies.

I was grateful to have Uncle Ren help to suppress it before, but to be honest, Shen didn't care about this prestige or something, and he never felt happy because of the name of the hero.

Uncle Ren has cleaned up the mess for Zhang Moxie all his life.

After he left, he left a new mess, and I had to clean it up for him.

Anyway, sooner or later, I'm going to turn my face, Shen is in this Wulong Villa, take a good look, what kind of drama can they put on for me.

If they perform well, Shen will still applaud. ”
