The night was getting darker, and the sky was getting colder.

"Master Xiaoxing, do you know my mother?"

Gao Yue had been walking in front of Xiao Xing, and suddenly asked, "Yue'er listened to your conversation with Sister Rong just now, so she should know each other." ”

"It's a friendship, and it's a friend."

Xiao Xing looked at Gao Yue's back, hesitated for a moment, and said, "But that was many years ago. ”

"I see."

Gao Yue smiled a little disappointed, and continued: "By the way, why is Master Xiaoxing and Yue'er about the same age, but their martial arts are so high? ”

"The Taoist Heavenly Sect has very few disciples, and very few are born, so they usually have a high rank and a clear status.

Xiao Xing smiled, took out the canvas from his chest, and handed it to Gao Yue in front of him, "By the way, this is left by your mother, it just so happened that time was tight when you were scattered, and you must not have had time to bring something as a souvenir." ”

"Huh?"

Gao Yue gently took the canvas, bit her lower lip lightly, and said softly, "Master Nianduan's tomb is right in front. ”

"Yes, thank you."

Xiao Xing patted Gao Yue's slender shoulder and walked straight in, leaving Gao Yue alone behind him looking at the canvas in his hand in a daze.

……

"Zhiya—"

Duanmu Rong pushed the wooden door open and walked straight to the bed, holding the freshly boiled decoction in her hand.

Gai Nie lay on the bed, glanced at Tianming, who was driven out by Duanmu Rong, and struggled to sit up, "Duanmu girl, it's really troublesome." ”

"Lie down."

Duanmu Rong hurriedly stretched out his left hand and put it on Gai Nie's shoulder, pressed Gai Nie on the bed, and said while feeling the temperature of the decoction in his hand: "You don't have to thank me, it's common to be violent and die in Qin." If it weren't for Master Xiaoxing's words to reveal Tianming's identity, even if you bury your bones next to this mirror lake, I wouldn't have made a move. ”

"I'm ashamed to say that I'm really a swordsman who can only fight and kill."

Gai Nie suddenly smiled freely, and then said: "If it weren't for the fact that many things on his body had failed, there would be no need to come to Duanmu for help, and it would be in vain." ”

"You do."

Duanmu Rong glanced at Gai Nie, then stopped talking, and put the medicine spoon in his hand to Gai Nie's mouth.

Gai Nie struggled and was about to reach out to grab it, "Duanmu girl, such a noisy thing is still ...... below"

"Quiet!"

Duanmu Rong frowned slightly, scolded Gai Nie, and then continued to put the decoction in Gai Nie's mouth under Gai Nie's somewhat stunned movements.

Gai Nie was still a little stunned, but as the mild decoction entered his stomach, the fragrance of the medicine was refreshed, and he reacted, looking at Duanmu Rong under the cover of night outside the window on the side, and couldn't help but sigh: "I can't count how many years, since I said goodbye to my master, I haven't been so comfortable." ”

"Master once said that a swordsman is more important than his sword, and as long as he has not broken away from that shackle, he is just a swordsman."

Duanmu Rong said Nian Duan, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes, "And the world-famous sword saint Gai Nie naturally can't escape this reincarnation." ”

"It's my fate, I can't break free, but I don't want to break free."

Gai Nie tilted his head, looked at the hazy moonlight outside the window, and said in a deep voice: "Everything is already doomed from the Ghost Valley, the beginning is like that, the end is the end, as long as it has not died from it, it has not changed." ”

"Alright."

Duanmu Rong was stunned for a long time, then took the empty soup bowl, then turned around and pushed open the door to walk out.

Suddenly, Duanmu Rong's footsteps paused, "You are a different swordsman." ”

"Zhiya—"

Duanmu Rong left a sentence and closed the wooden door with her backhand, but hid the latter sentence in her heart, "Just like I once argued with my master." ”
