After leaving Guluan Peak, Xue Hongbi fell seriously ill.

People who practice martial arts have always been in good health, not to mention that he practiced the Yang Book of "Intercepting the Heavens", and the heart-piercing wound that day was already healed, but he has been running around and tired these days, and now he knows the unbearable secrets of the past from Bu Hanying's mouth, and he was exhausted for a while, and he was sick like a mountain.

Yin Mei was startled, and hurriedly carried the person back to the house, and invited Yin Wuji to see a doctor, but unexpectedly, this guy who had no benevolence for a doctor came over to take a look, sneered, "Can't die", and walked away.

With Yin Wuji's words, Yin Mei felt a little calmer, and asked the witch doctor of the Hanshan tribe to prescribe some antipyretic and soothing medicine, but he didn't know that Yin Wuji left from her, and directly pulled Mingjing to Guluan Peak to find trouble with Bu Hanying.

"The master of Bushan is so powerful, he snatched a life back from the ghost gate before he was closed, but you said that he didn't have half of his kung fu, it seems that you might as well change the name of the world's first sword to 'the world's first mouth', even if you can't say the dead alive, you can say the living dead!"

After entering the house, Yin Wuji sat on the stool and said angrily: "This little rabbit cub has injured the meridians, I thought you knew how to measure, but I didn't expect you to say everything with one mouth, for fear of stimulating him not to die?" ”

Mingjing stood beside him, crying and laughing.

In the face of Yin Wuji's ridicule and sarcasm, Bu Hanying's expression remained unchanged, and he picked up the hot water kettle and poured two for them, and then said: "In just a few months, he has suffered a series of accidents, although his body can hold on, his mind is about to disperse, and his own cranky thinking will only make it worse." ”

Yin Wuji snorted twice, but let go of the matter, and asked, "I and the bald donkey are going to leave soon, what are you going to do now?" ”

"Naturally, it is sitting in Hanshan, since the Erzhu clan was destroyed, the Lu clan has controlled Wule, it was quite safe in the past few years, and in the past two years, there have been frequent actions, and Tianmen cannot afford to lose."

Yin Wuji frowned: "You really don't care about the affairs of the Central Plains?" ”

"From the day I left the Central Plains, I couldn't take care of it." Bu Hanying said lightly, "Even if there is a matter of Jiangcheng, listening to Yuge's jealousy of Hanshan will only increase instead of decreasing, I found no less than ten pairs of ears and eyes on the way back, unless Hanshan returns to Dajing, otherwise I will always be a thorn in their side." ”

Yin Wuji hesitated for a moment, and said: "It has always been your wish to return to the cold mountain, although the Empress Dowager Xiao is ruthless, but she will not be embarrassed in this matter, now the undercurrent in the northern Xinjiang is surging, and the grassland is not an iron bucket, you will be isolated sooner or later, it is better to ...... The Flying Star Alliance has been wiped out, Fu Yuanyu's death has completely cut off the clue, and you should also plan for your clansmen. ”

When he said this, he was ready to be reprimanded, the feud between the remnants of the Flying Star Alliance and the Xiao family was as deep as the sea, although he was not a person in the Nine Palaces, he should be on Bu Hanying's side because of reason, but now he seemed to be a lobbyist for the Xiao family.

Unexpectedly, Bu Hanying didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I understand what you mean...... However, it was for the sake of the clansmen that Hanshan could not return to Jing at this time. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"I'm different from the rest of the Flying Star Alliance, they are all natives of the Central Plains, even Fu Yuanyu originally wanted to use the power of the imperial court to clear up the chaos of martial arts, and he loved that mountain and river in his heart, and he always had three points of respect for the imperial power, so Song Yuan established the Flying Star Alliance a few years ago, and he also wanted to help Emperor Yong'an get rid of the shackles of his relatives and ministers, hoping that he could become a generation of virtuous monarchs."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Yes, but the facts have told us that this path does not work." Bu Hanying's expression was indifferent, "Do you remember how Song Xiang was arrested and taken out of prison?" ”

Yin Wuji didn't speak, Mingjing recited the Buddha's name, and said: "It is said that he raised the dead, broke into the forbidden palace at night, and was caught by the guards on the spot after the attempted killing of the king." ”

"Do you think Song Xiang is this kind of person?"

"Of course not." Yin Wuji's face was gloomy, "Anyone with a discerning eye knows that there must be something strange about this matter, but that accident came unexpectedly, and we have too few clues in our hands." ”

"I have a clue here." Bu Hanying's eyes were slightly cold, "That night, Song Xiang did break through the palace gate with his people, but not to kill the king, but to save the driver." ”

Yin Wuji and Mingjing's faces changed: "Help? ”

"It is said that someone in the palace went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report the news, and the Empress Dowager Xiao intended to force the palace, and also brought a secret letter from Emperor Yong'an, but the letter disappeared afterwards."

"Could it be that Emperor Yong'an's henchmen betrayed him and set up a trap on Song Xiang for the Xiao family?"

"There is no conclusion yet, I have passed this clue to Yu Wufang, she is now in the Listening Rain Pavilion, and it is easier for us to track it down."

Yin Wuji nodded, and was a little suspicious: "Anyway, this clue is so important, I heard that Yuge has no reason not to kill people, where did you get it?" ”

Bu Hanying took out a small note from her bosom and said, "That's why I invited you to come...... After I left Jiangcheng that day, I bandaged my wounds in a medical center, and the doctors and men inside were not from the rivers and lakes, but there was a wax pill disguised as medicine in the medicine bottle they handed me, and I found this after pinching it open. ”

Yin Wuji took it and looked at it, this note was only two fingers wide, the handwriting was dense, and it was written crookedly, at first glance, it looked like a worm crawling around, and there was no payment, indicating that the other party did not want to reveal his identity.

Bu Hanying explained the location of the medical hall and said, "At that time, there were at least ten secret agents of the Listening Rain Pavilion secretly staring at me, so as not to show clues, I didn't want to stay longer, so I could only ask Mr. Yin to go with the master." ”

"Okay." Yin Wuji put away the note, "What speculation do you have about this person?" ”

Bu Hanying said with a solemn expression: "Whether the clues are true or not, the one who can write the note must be an insider, if it is not for listening to the rain pavilion to bait and fishing, it is ...... The Nine Palaces that survived that year. ”

Back then, the Flying Star Alliance was destroyed, and the Nine Palaces suffered heavy casualties, but in the end, they were not all killed, whether Mingzhe was protecting himself or lying dormant, not to mention that nearly forty percent of the people were hidden.

In the past twelve years, not only Bu Hanying, but also Fu Yuanyu and Yu Wufang also had the same conjecture - back then, Bai Li slaughtered and threw the Golden Building, and used a fake list to listen to the Yu Pavilion, so that the other members of the Nine Palaces could survive, but that list was not only a huge hidden danger, but also the key to the reunion of these people, once destroyed, there was no possibility of reunion in the Nine Palaces, would Bai Li really destroy it?

If Bai Li hadn't ruined the list, who could she give it to on the verge of despair?

If someone got this list and didn't give it to Tingyu Pavilion, it means that this person is likely to be one of the Nine Palaces, and how come he hasn't contacted his companions in the past twelve years?

Bu Hanying couldn't figure it out, Yin Wuji's face was not good-looking, he said solemnly: "This matter is handed over to us, even if it is a gopher driller, it has to come out!" ”

After a pause, he still asked suspiciously, "However, what does this matter have to do with the return of Hanshan to Jing?" ”

"If the clue is true, it means that Emperor Yong'an has completely become the puppet of the Empress Dowager Xiao, this road is blocked, even if Hanshan returns to Jing at this time, it is just to submit to the Xiao family, with their style of acting, I am afraid that my clan will die, and I will be relieved to change my cronies to control this place...... If the clue is false, it means that the gap between Emperor Yongan and Empress Dowager Xiao has expanded, and the mother and son are bound to fight for imperial power. Bu Hanying took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, "To tell the truth, if Empress Dowager Xiao is really courageous, abolish Emperor Yong'an and establish herself as the emperor, not to mention Hanshan, all ethnic groups in the grassland are also willing to surrender, but from the perspective of the past twelve years, although she has the talent of people but has no capacity, she has the ability to exercise power but has no virtue in power, even if the Xiao family replaces the Yin family, it will soon flourish and decline." ”

Yin Wuji pondered for a moment and said, "How are you doing?" ”

"Respond to change with the same." Bu Han's English was faint, "In the final analysis, these are all government affairs, you and I are reckless in fighting and killing, if you talk about power and scheming, it is not enough to fight with them, why attack each other's strengths with your own shortcomings?" ”

Yin Wuji was about to say something, but he suddenly smiled: "Since the death of the Wu Sect, it has been nineteen years since the Xiao clan has been in power, although the Yin clan is weak, it is not without capable people. ”

Hearing this, Yin Wuji hadn't reacted yet, and Mingjing had already laughed.

With this smile, Yin Wuji also came back to his senses, and his eyes lit up: "But what is the rumor?" ”

Bu Hanying chuckled: "When the first month passes, the south will warm up, if the two of you are interested, it is better to go and see the good spring, but the spring is cold, don't forget to add clothes when walking." ”

Yin Wuji understood, with a rare happy smile on his face, he raised his head and drank the cold water.

The atmosphere eased up, and Yin Wuji asked, "The little rabbit cub ...... What are your plans? ”

Bu Hanying said: "He is not an ignorant child, and he doesn't need me to plan for him." ”

Yin Wuji's brows furrowed again: "Sect Master Fu means-"

"I know, but he's also not qualified to decide the future for others." Bu Hanying shook his head, "I will tell Xue Hongbi the truth, not to blackmail him into joining us, but to let him understand how to make a real choice in the future." ”

Yin Wuji rolled his eyes: "You said it lightly, what if he is afraid and wants to quit the rivers and lakes and become a small people?" ”

"Let him go." Bu Han's tone remained unchanged, "We have walked on this dead road for 12 years, not only stepping on the birth pass, but also to seek justice, if we want to use coercion and inducement to force others to go with us, justice will become no way, what is the use?" ”

Yin Wuji stared at him for a long time, and the room was so quiet that it was audible for a while.

Just as Mingjing wanted to open his mouth to play a round game, Yin Wuji suddenly laughed and said, "Master Bushan, I originally hated you very much. ”

Bu Hanying was not surprised at all, and the corners of her lips raised slightly: "What now?" ”

"I still hate you!" Yin Wuji said categorically, and then changed his words, "However, I admire you." ”

After that, he stood up, took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Bu Hanying, and said, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and the two of us will leave...... This thing was entrusted to me by Sect Master Fu, you give it to the little rabbit cub, and he can make his own decision. ”

Bu Hanying took the medicine bottle, got up and saluted him, and said, "You two have a good journey, take care." ”

Yin Wuji smiled and waved his hand, jumped on Mingjing's back, the monk walked out of the house and the wind was under his feet, and he jumped down from the top of the mountain with a big living person on his back, without grasping the iron cable, only borrowing his strength on the rock, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

After the guests went, the tea was cold, and Bu Hanying didn't have the mind to stay here, so she left Guluan Peak and went to the front mountain.

Xue Hongbi slept all day, and the high fever finally subsided.

When he woke up, Yin Mei just walked in with a basin of water, and when he saw that he wanted to sit up, he hurriedly reached out to support the person, poured another cup of warm water, and asked, "Are you okay?" Are you still dizzy, are you hungry or not, do you want to relieve yourself? ”

"Ahem, cough, ahem—" Xue Hongbi was drinking water, but when she heard it, she almost choked to death in the end, and saw that her eyes were like hell.

Yin Mei reacted with disdain and said, "What are you ashamed of? I've picked more men than you've ever seen women, who is so rare to see your bean sprouts? ”

Xue Hongbi: "...... What do you pick up men for? ”

Yin Mei said earnestly: "You are still young, I don't know that some stinky men are hateful, and they can't control their trouser belts, so they should be stripped naked and hung up...... Last time, there was an old man who wanted to bully other people's little girls, so I bumped into him, and even took off his pants and hung them at the entrance of the lamp market so that everyone could see what kind of toad he was. ”

Xue Hongbi: "......"

Seeing that he was stunned, Yin Mei laughed out loud, touched his forehead, and said, "Fortunately, your illness comes and goes quickly, if it is two days late, I will have to leave." ”

Xue Hongbi was stunned for a moment: "You want to leave?" ”

Yin Mei said strangely: "This is not my home, I should have left if I sent Senior Bai, I heard that you were coming, I was afraid that you would have too many thoughts, so I stayed." ”

Xue Hongbi thought that Yu Wufang had now joined Tingyu Pavilion, with her caution, I am afraid that she would not return to Shui Yunze, could it be that Yin Mei also wanted to join her?

He asked tentatively, "What about the Jade senior...... Does Sister Mei know? ”

"Don't worry, I know it all." Yin Mei said calmly, "Master has what she has to do for the rest of her life, and I also have my own due diligence, everyone has their own way to go, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Xue Hongbi was stunned at first, and then smiled bitterly: "Everyone has their own way...... I don't know what my path is, how can I go about it? ”

"What are you confused about?"

"I'm ......," Xue Hongbi said in a low voice, "I've always wanted to find the truth, but now that I've fulfilled my old wish, I don't know what to do next." ”

"Now in the eyes of outsiders, you are already a dead person, as long as you don't crash into their hands, you can do whatever you want." Yin Mei said, "If you want to live in peace, you can stay in the Cold Mountain, and with the ability of the Mountain Lord, it is more than enough to protect you...... However, I don't think you're going to give up. ”

Bolt.

What is the reward for good and evil, and where is willingness?

Xue Hongbi grabbed the corner of the futon, and the change of expression on her face was seen by Yin Mei, although she had heard Yu Wufang explain some things, but she didn't have the ability to put her beak in the face, and when she said this, she didn't speak again, and got up to go to the kitchen to serve porridge and vegetables.

She walked out, and Xue Hongbi came back to her senses.

It is true that he was born after death this time, and the truth he desperately pursued has also been obtained, as long as he is careful in the future, it is easy to be an ordinary ordinary person.

But as Yin Mei said, he was unwilling.

Xue Hongbi lifted the futon, put on a coat and rushed out of the room, just bumping into Yin Mei coming back, but he ignored it and ran towards Guluan Peak with all his strength.

"Hey, you-"

Yin Mei was angry and anxious, and she couldn't wait to smash the tray over, but fortunately, Xue Hongbi didn't run too far before she was blocked by one person and almost fell to the ground.

"I'm not sick yet, what are you doing running around?"

Bu Hanying pressed Xue Hongbi's shoulder with one hand, her eyes were lowered, and her tone was indifferent.

"I don't understand!"

Xue Hongbi raised his head and said sharply: "Why can wicked people run rampant, but good people should be wronged?" Why are traitors able to sit high in the temple, but the people have to live in fear? Why can harsh government be taken away with life and death, but justice must not be served...... I want to be a good person, but good people in this world can't live long! Am I going to have to be a wicked person in order to get what I want? I don't understand, I'm not reconciled! ”

His voice was not loud, but it made Yin Meisheng stop.

Bu Hanying asked rhetorically: "Even if you are unwilling in a thousand ways, what can you do?" ”

Xue Hongbi was so blocked that his throat hurt, he stood in the wind and snow, his face was pale with cold, he still stubbornly raised his head, and said word by word: "I won't give up!" ”

Bu Hanying couldn't help but smile and said, "Have you read "Zhou Yi"? ”

Xue Hongbi was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"Tianxingjian, terrain kun, how to solve it?"

“…… Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement; The terrain is good, and the gentleman carries things with virtue. ”

"That's the answer you want." Bu Hanying said, "The reason why you are unwilling is that you think those people are not worthy of virtue, but you are helpless, this is the fate of the weak." Whether you are good or evil, you have to be self-reliant and self-reliant, and never stop moving forward, so that you are qualified to decide what kind of person you are, and when you become strong, you are qualified to say benevolence and justice. ”

This sentence is not light or heavy, but it is like a morning bell in the ears.

Xue Hongbi was silent for a while, and then said, "How do you want to arrange me?" ”

Bu Hanying said in a deep voice: "I have no arrangement for you, you have your own path, choose your own way, and go by yourself." ”

Xue Hongbi asked, "Are those people really dead for me?" ”

"Yes."

"Do you have a way to give me a makeover and make me start over?"

"Not bad."

"If I leave, will you blame me?"

"Whatever your heart desires, keep you safe."

"If I stay, what will you do to me?"

"Take you as an apprentice and teach you everything."

"If you and I are desperate for a lifetime, we will only get a blank ...... in the end"

"If you have no regrets, you will not go back to the world in vain."

The wind howled, the chill permeated the limbs, but a hot breath rose from his chest.

Xue Hongbi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was no hesitation.

He knelt down in front of Bu Hanying, his body was low in the snow, and he kowtowed three times.

"Master, please give the disciple a name!"

A soft smile appeared in Bu Hanying's eyes, and he leaned down and helped Xue Hongbi up with his own hands.

"From today on, you are my only personal disciple - Zhao Yan."

The light of Zhaozhao diffracts in all directions.

It is intended to turn this into a moth, a little spark to burn the wasteland.
