On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the snow is sunny.

Outside the Yanbei Pass of the northern border of Dajing, there is a vast snowfield, only the glacier is not inhabited within a radius of 30 miles, until the Tiannu River can be vaguely seen the outline of a continuous snow-capped mountain, that is the cold mountain.

At the foot of the foothills on the east side, more than ten Hanshan people drove back, they got up early in the morning today, crossed the river to Yanbei Pass, bought a lot of goods in the market, the defenders and people there have been with them for many years, not only have nothing to do with each other, but also have a few mutual help and mutual assistance, the relationship is like a friend and neighbor, the traders see these people are generous, they also add a good color to them, the return trip is full of vehicles, squeeze people out.

In addition to this, they brought back three people.

A pharmacist with a strange face, a monk with a smile on his face, and a taciturn teenager.

The pharmacist sat in front of the carriage full of medicinal herbs and looked through a book of medical skills, and scolded from time to time that "bullshit doesn't make sense", and the monk rode side by side with the leader, saying easy-to-understand Buddhist teachings, but the young man was stuffed into the crowded cargo box pile, and he didn't come out until he crossed the Tiannu River.

"Guests, it's time to get there."

The leader of the team dismounted and greeted the guards on both sides of the mountain gate, while asking the accompanying clansmen to hurry up and unload the goods, while knowingly bypassing the pharmacist, walked to the young man and stretched out his arms, trying to help him down, but unfortunately the young man received good intentions, just waved his hand, and helped the chariot down by himself.

At the moment when he was down-to-earth, the young man looked a little stunned, he looked at the towering snow-capped mountains in front of him, and then looked at the strange figures left and right, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

The pharmacist standing on the side had just stepped on the bullshit medical book several times, and now his anger was still not gone, and he said angrily when he saw this: "Tell me, are you dumb?" ”

The young man glanced at him, and finally spoke: "I want to know, and you won't answer me, what else can you say?" ”

The pharmacist said angrily: "What's the matter, I saved your life, and I don't deserve your thanks?" ”

"It's your own saying that human life is worthless, and it's better to repay you than a nonsense next time you die." The young man said in a flat tone, "I dare not forget a word of the words of my predecessors. ”

The pharmacist suddenly became angry, bent down to pick up the medical book and was about to fan the little rabbit cub, but fortunately he was stopped by the monk in time, and persuaded him repeatedly: "It's useless, forget it, you did say that...... This little benefactor is still a child, forget it! ”

"It's because he's still a kid that he can't let him go!"

After a little fight, the monk finally persuaded people with virtue, picked up the pharmacist's luggage with one hand, supported the young man's arm with the other, and the three of them walked up the mountain together.

The pharmacist was clearly a picturesque man, unwilling to give up like a child, taking advantage of the monk's inattention, he turned his head and made a grimace at the young man, and scolded silently: "Little rabbit cub! ”

This little rabbit cub is naturally Xue Hongbi.

It has been more than ten days since he jumped off the cliff of Dengxian Immortal, and Xue Hongbi is still like falling into a dream, not knowing life and death, and not being clear.

Although the carving knife did not pierce the heart, but it also hurt the vital point, he had already held the heart of death when he jumped off the cliff, and saw the phantom of the dead in a daze, thinking that they were here to pick him up, so he tried his best to reach out, not wanting to be a lonely ghost on the Huangquan Road.

However, the hand was actually caught.

Dengxian Cliff towers into the clouds, the snow-covered and frozen mountain wall is as smooth as a blade, no one would have thought that there would be a monk attached to it, against the wind and snow, the body is almost frozen with the ice stone, I don't know how long I squatted, I saw the figure fall and broke the ice at the moment, both palms supported and turned, unloading the Qianjun falling force in mid-air, easy as catching a piece of feathers, not alarming the dust when the foot landed, it can be seen that the weight is light, the skill is profound.

Xue Hongbi only had time to see the monk's face clearly, and passed out in his arms.

When he woke up, he had already left Yunzhou, lying in a mountain hut, the monk was chopping wood outside the door, and there was a bored pharmacist sitting next to the bed. Since you like to look for death, remember to die far away next time so that no one can see it, there are so many hungry dogs and jackals, don't worry about not collecting the corpse for you! ”

Xue Hongbi's gratitude suddenly turned into: "......"

When he finally had the strength to stay, he learned that the monk who rescued him was named Mingjing, a wandering monk, and the pharmacist who had nothing good to say was a friend who had been with him for many years, named Yin Wuji.

Xue Hongbi had never heard of Mingjing in the rivers and lakes, but he had heard of the name Yin Wuji.

The shrunken turtle has no return, the clavicle Bodhisattva jade is flawless, and it is useless to save Yin if he sees death.

In the past, the three elders of the Mending Heaven Sect were famous in the rivers and lakes, among which Yin Wuji was the youngest and the least qualified, saying that Yin Wuji's real name was Yin Wuji, his biological father was the first divine doctor Yin Lanshu of the year, and his biological mother was the first crescent moon of Xirong poison, and he was already a doctor and poison at a young age, but it was a pity that his biological father saved people but died because of people, and his biological mother avenged her husband and was regarded as a demon girl by the so-called famous and decent family, and finally ended up in flames, which is really embarrassing.

Because of his parents, he no longer has the benevolence of a doctor, regards human life as a mustard, and often says that "there is no medicine to cure, no disease can be treated, and nothing can be done", thinking that good people and bad people will eventually die, even if there are famous doctors and good medicines, it only adds to the pain, and over time, the people in the rivers and lakes call him Yin Wuji, and gradually forget his real name.

Yin Wuji has a perverse temperament, he has some quirks in the way of medical poison, saving people and killing lives is all based on preference, and the means are unusual and even outrageous.

It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that he is a cold and ruthless person, but in the days when Xue Hongbi followed Fu Yuanyu, I heard him mention some past events, including many useless pasts.

The reason why Yin Wuji joined the Mending Heaven Sect was not because he was desperate, but to save people.

I don't know how many people will think that this truth is extremely ridiculous, Yin Wuji, who is known as "seeing death and not saving", would actually join the Longtan Tiger's Den like the Mending Heaven Sect in order to save people, especially the person he wants to save is not a loved one, just a little-known wandering monk.

Fu Yuanyu didn't say the name of the wandering monk, nor did he mention what the relationship between them was, Xue Hongbi only remembered that he recalled the past in a complicated tone, saying that Yin Wuji had refused to be recruited by the Heavenly Sect three times, but on a rainy night with a dying monk on his back, he came to the door and knelt in front of Fu Yuanyu and begged him to save people.

Yin Wuji is a double absolute, but the martial arts are mediocre, the monk has been poisoned, has endangered the heart, if you want to detoxify, you must first protect the heart, and wash the pulse with the true qi of the Yang to remove the poison, except for Fu Yuanyu in the world, there is no second person who can do it.

So he knelt down to Fu Yuanyu and swore that as long as Fu Yuanyu rescued one monk, he would do a hundred things for Fu Yuanyu, kill people and save people, and listen to orders.

Xue Hongbi still remembered Fu Yuanyu and said with emotion: "After Yin Wuji came, he carved a plum tree on the courtyard wall, and every time he finished doing something, he added a plum blossom on it, and when the hundred plums were in full bloom, even if we traded two Qing, he would withdraw from the Mending Heaven Sect......"

However, the Mending Heaven Sect has never been a place where people can come and go freely, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that when the hundred plums are in full bloom, if Yin Wuji is obsessed, I am afraid that he can only return to his hometown.

He himself understands, but he still refuses to repent, and obsessively carves plum on that wall, a moment is six years, until the late spring of the fourth year of Yong'an, everyone waited for him to splash blood on the mountain gate, unexpectedly until he left safely, Fu Yuanyu did not send anyone to chase.

Yin Wuji's luck is too good.

If it was later, he would be involved in the whirlpool of the Flying Star Alliance, and if it was two years earlier, Fu Yuanyu would never allow an elder to easily leave control.

Yin Wuji left the Mending Heaven Sect two years after Yu Wuji's defection, Fu Yuanyu had already sobered up from resentment, and experienced a lot of changes, his heart changed a lot, remembering the situation when the three elders assisted him wholeheartedly, he finally sighed, and let Yin Wuji leave as promised.

Because of this, Yin Wuji did not turn against Fu Yuanyu, and secretly helped Fu Yuanyu during his twelve years in exile, and this time he rushed to Yunzhou for his dying invitation to save Xue Hongbi's life.

Mingjing caught Xue Hongbi in time, Yin Wuji found a stand-in in advance that was similar in age and similar to Xue Hongbi, and skillfully concocted and threw it into the mountains and forests.

With this life-saving grace, Xue Hongbi is undoubtedly grateful to them, but their appearance also completely confirmed Xue Hongbi's guess - everything that happened in Jiangcheng was carefully calculated by Fu Yuanyu, including the last "last letter".

In other words, that letter was actually left by Fu Yuanyu to Zhou Jiangyun to see, Xue Hongbi was just a bait to attract Zhou Jiangyun, Fu Yuanyu used this letter to shake Zhou Jiangyun's mind, cover up the real reason why Yu Wufang joined Tingyu Pavilion, and also forced Xue Hongbi into a desperate situation, so that he could put him to death and escape from the net.

The road was bumpy, Xue Hongbi broke and kneaded what happened before in his mind, most of them thought clearly, but the rest was still rooted in his heart like a disease, but Mingjing and Yin Wuji sang red and white faces, no one refused to give him an understanding, only took him to the north and hurried until he arrived in Hanshan today.

Climb the halfway up the mountain, pass through the double wall, the stone road at the foot winds forward, from narrow to open, suddenly smell the fragrance of the old plum, listen to the music of the beard, the big hut is built according to the mountain, the young and strong are naked and fighting, the women and children are smiling and complacent, there are a few small dogs trailing their tails between them, turning their heads and barking lightly.

Since leaving Nanyang City, it was the first time Xue Hongbi had seen such a calm and peaceful place, not in the bright mountains and beautiful waters on any side, but in this bitter cold place far away from the hustle and bustle.

He was almost stupid.

"I only promised Fu Yuanyu to save people, as for the other ......"

Yin Wuji counted him all the way, and when he finally said something here, he didn't know what he saw, so he reached out and gently pushed Xue Hongbi behind him, and said, "It's up to you to find the answer." ”

Xue Hongbi was pushed forward by him, and suddenly bumped into the sight of the Hanshan clansmen, and suddenly felt at a loss, so he could only look around blankly, and met a pair of familiar eyes coldly.

The woman wrapped in a thick fur robe sat in a wheelchair, with a leather mattress on her knees, three thousand white hair was braided into a thin whip with ribbons hanging down her shoulders, her head wore a hair ring with tangled rabbit fur, and her eyebrows were covered with water drops and jade pendants, and her face was full of childlike ignorance and curiosity.

Xue Hongbi recognized it at a glance, she was the crazy woman in Shui Yunze, the Taisu Divine Doctor Bai Zhiwei back then, and the woman Fu Yuanyu loved and owed the most in his life.

Wasn't she sent back to her hometown by Yin Mei?

Subconsciously, Xue Hongbi looked behind Bai Zhiwei, there were two people pushing the wheelchair, one was Yin Mei in a jacket, and the other was a man in white Ruoxue.

For a moment, it was as if a nightmare had returned, and it was like a thunderbolt waking up.

Xue Hongbi seemed to have returned to the bank of the Zhongchu River on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, standing five zhang away, opposite to the white-clothed man carved from cold stone and jade, he was still dressed in wide-sleeved white clothes, but the blood stains on it were gone, against the sky and clouds, like a snow peak that has not been melted for years.

Yes, this is the Cold Mountain, and Bu Hanying, who is the lord of the Cold Mountain, should be here.

But why are Bai Zhiwei and Yin Mei here? Why did Yin Wuji and Mingjing bring him here? Or ...... Fu Yuanyu's deathbed trust, why did he send him here?

There was a moment of blankness in Xue Hongbi's mind, all the sounds and expressions disappeared, and only the three people in front of him were reflected in his eyes, and it took a long time to squeeze out the intermittent words from between his teeth: "Sister Mei...... You and Bai Senpai...... Why ......"

Every time he said a word, he took away what little strength he had left, Xue Hongbi felt his knees weak, and his eyes were also black, just when he was about to fall and sit down, a hand stabbed over like a sharp sword, he instinctively ducked back, but was still grabbed by the arm, and supported his body with strength.

Xue Hongbi raised his head, looked at the cold and pale face of Hanying in Shangbu, his eyes finally fell on the only remaining eye, his chapped lips moved a few times, and he didn't say anything.

At such a close distance, he found a terrifying thing - if you ignore the momentum of the body and soften the edges and corners of the contour a little, Bu Hanying and Bai Zhiwei are actually very similar in appearance, to say the least, they are sixty percent similar.

As if seeing what Xue Hongbi was thinking, Bu Hanying let go of his hand, turned to look at Bai Zhiwei who was looking at each other, and the corners of his lips were slowly hooked, like a warm wind blowing open the glacier, bringing a piece of spring in the world.

"Zhiwei is my sister." He said softly, "We are dragon and phoenix fetuses born on the same day, the same month, and the same year. ”
