When Fang Yongyan woke up, it was already the thirty-first day of the lunar month.

He was in a coma for five days, and some famous doctors in Yunzhou were invited to Jiangcheng, and diagnosed that he only had some skin trauma on his body, and the real trouble was the chronic disease, but fortunately, his life was not injured, and Fang Huaiyuan personally exercised his skills to protect the heart, and the doctors applied acupuncture and medicine to the symptoms, and stayed up for five days and nights in a row, and finally woke up today.

The snow has been falling in Jiangcheng for several days, and it is just sunny today.

The sunlight leaked into the room through the gap in the window, fluttering like a butterfly on the curly long eyelashes, waking up the young man who was dreaming of Nan Ke, Fang Yongyan slowly opened his eyes, saw the auspicious cloud embroidery on the curtain first, and his fingers moved subconsciously, and he was grasped by the person guarding the couch.

"Little junior brother, you can be considered awake."

Seeing Fang Yongyan open his eyes, Zhan Yu was immediately relieved, and carefully put the hand in his palm back into the futon, his little junior brother was already weak and sickly, and this time he suffered this crime, the whole person lost weight in just a few days, and looked more and more weak and pitiful.

The misty consciousness finally came back to his senses, Fang Yongyan recognized Zhan Yu, first a burst of joy, and then a loss, in addition to Zhan Yu, there were four or five doctors in the room, but there was no person he wanted to see the most.

Zhan Yu saw his gaze wandering, turned his head to look, and secretly said in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Little junior brother, the master stayed here for the whole night last night, and at dawn the government sent someone to invite him over." ”

The joy on Fang Yongyu's face was gone, and when she heard the words, she only let out a sullen "um", and Zhanyu wanted to scratch her head when she saw it.

Unlike other personal disciples, Zhan Yu was an orphan, who was picked up and adopted by Fang Huaiyuan back then, at that time Fang Yongyan was not yet born, he was regarded by the master as his own, he could be regarded as half of Fang Yongyan's brother, and he knew very well about the secretive heart knot between the father and son, but he was ordered to shut up, and could only watch Fang Huaiyuan and Fang Yongyan become more and more estranged.

The doctors stepped forward to check Fang Yongyu's pulse, saying that it was no big deal, and a big stone in Zhanyu's heart finally settled, and hurriedly asked people to send warm rice porridge, seeing that Fang Yongyan used most of the bowl, he was relieved.

Now that the person is awake, there is no need to do acupuncture and moxibustion, and the prescription needs to be changed.

Zhan Yu stuffed a pillow behind Fang Yongyan's back, moved a stool and sat back on the couch, and told him about what had happened these days, especially on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, when he was placed by Xue Hongbi at the city gate, and he was still angry when he thought about it.

From beginning to end, Fang Yongyan's face was expressionless, until he heard Zhan Yu say that the little devil had been ambushed, his breathing suddenly stagnated, and Gu Jing Wubo's face suddenly cracked, pouring out a deep undercurrent.

"What did you say?" He grabbed Zhanyu's hand behind his back, and his strength was not as great as a person who had just woken up from a long illness," he ...... He's dead?! ”

Zhan Yu was taken aback by Fang Yongyan's reaction, thinking that he remembered the sins he had suffered when he was tied up, and hurriedly comforted him and said, "Yes, he is dead...... On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, he escaped from Jiangcheng with a plan to attack the east and the west, and was intercepted by the Zhou sect master at the top of the gourd mountain, knowing that there was no way to escape, he jumped off the cliff and committed suicide. ”

“…… What about corpses? ”

Zhan Yu hesitated for a moment before saying, "I've found it, but it's ...... Falling from such a high cliff, there is a wild forest below, and there are many hungry wolves and wild dogs in it. ”

He didn't say the rest of the words, but Fang Yongyan understood.

The left hand hidden under the futon slowly clenched, Fang Yongyan lowered his head, his teeth clenched, and a bloody breath gushed in his throat, which was swallowed back by himself.

After a while, he asked in a dumb voice, "The government is looking for my father over there, is it ...... In order to identify the body? ”

"Yes, this kid is slippery and tight, although everyone has searched for several days, few have really seen him, the yacha brought the corpse back from the wild forest last night, and can only ask Master and Uncle Liu to take a look."

In fact, the government still wanted to invite Fang Yongyan over, after all, when it came to being familiar with Xue Hongbi, only the kidnapped Fang Yongyan had been with him for the longest time in the city, but unfortunately Fang Yongyan hadn't woken up this morning, so he gave up.

Zhan Yu said that this incident was originally to let Fang Yongyan recuperate with peace of mind, but he didn't expect that he had just gone out to get the prescription, and when he turned around, he saw Fang Yongyan getting off the bed, picking up his clothes and putting them on his body.

"Little junior brother, you-"

"I'm going...... Glance. Fang Yongyu endured the dizziness and grabbed Zhanyu's arm tightly, "Senior brother, take me to see...... You don't know him, but I do, I ...... I wasn't relieved until I was sure he was dead. ”

Zhan Yu was in trouble for a while, but he couldn't resist Fang Yongyan, and personally set up a carriage and took him to the mansion.

Due to Xue Hongbi's unusual identity, the corpse was not placed in Yizhuang, but parked in the yamen dungeon, Zhan Yu showed the token of the Wulin League, and walked into the passage with Fang Yongyan, a cold and rotten smell came to his face, he was used to it, but Fang Yongyan's face turned pale.

At this time, Yu Wufang, Zhou Jiangyun, Fang Huaiyuan and Liu Yishou were all in the cell in the deepest part of the dungeon, with a long table of white cloth in the middle, and a complete corpse was placed on it, the head had been damaged and deformed, but the face could still be vaguely recognized, the limbs showed broken and twisted after falling from a height, and the place where the chest was stabbed by the carving knife had been torn open by the wolf's mouth, and the ribs were almost visible.

They had been looking around the corpse for a morning, Fang Huaiyuan and Xue Hongbi were only one-sided, and they really didn't dare to make a conclusion, Yu Wufang, as a disguised saint, took a knife and made a small cut on the lower jaw of the corpse, confirming that this face was raised by his father's mother, Liu Yishou also thought it was true, only Zhou Jiangyun always wrinkled his eyebrows and said nothing.

At this time, they heard footsteps that should not have appeared, Yu Wufang turned his head and was about to reprimand, seeing that it was Zhan Yu who came with Fang Yongyan, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, let's get out of the way and let Fang Xiaogongzi come and see it in person." ”

Seeing Fang Yongyan coming, Fang Huaiyuan's face was first happy, and then turned into anger, but he couldn't attack on the spot, so he could only glare at Zhanyu fiercely, which made the latter cry bitterly.

Zhou Jiangyun's gaze swept between the father and son, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he took the initiative to step aside, and said, "Yes, let's come to this seat to watch." ”

The place where he was standing happened to be close to his head, Liu Yishou wanted to stop it, but Fang Yongyun had already walked up, and just when he was standing, Zhou Jiangyun untied the big sword on his body and put it on Fang Yongyan's shoulder with his own hands, which seemed to be light and powerless, but pinched the hearts of the three people of the Wulin League.

"Fang Xiaogongzi has just woken up from a serious illness, this dungeon is too cold, so be careful." He smiled softly and kindly, and patted Fang Yongyan twice on the shoulder when he put on the big hat, as if he was treating his closest son and nephew, but it made Fang Yongyan feel a chill, as if there was a huge poisonous snake coiled behind him, stretching out the snake letter and licking his neck.

When the palm of his hand patted his shoulder, a trace of Yin Cold True Qi probed into Fang Yongyun's body, and before he realized it, he had already traveled through the eight veins of the Qi Jing, but unfortunately this time Zhou Jiangyun was disappointed, Fang Yongyun's meridians did have Heavenly Yang Strength, but it was too weak, obviously an outsider crossed in, and he was reluctant to even protect his heart, and it would soon completely dissipate.

Seeing Xue Hongbi fall off the cliff by suicide, the ladder leading to the tenfold realm of "Heaven Interception" was also broken in front of him, and years of obstinacy turned into a bubble, how could he be willing?

However, there is no resurrection from death.

Zhou Jiangyun guessed correctly, with Xue Hongbi's temperament, he could take the initiative to walk towards him for a few Taoist priests who met in Pingshui, and naturally he couldn't watch Fang Yongyan fall ill and die, but Fang Yongyan was Fang Huaiyuan's son after all, Xue Hongbi witnessed Fu Yuanyu's death, and he was already compassionate when he saved him, how could he take out the Yang Book to save his life?

After years of obsession, it will not be repaid.

The hand pressing on his shoulder slowly loosened, a layer of cold sweat was already oozing from Fang Yongyun's back, he didn't dare to look back at Zhou Jiangyun, he only looked at the corpse in front of him.

A fourteen-year-old boy, with tattered and dirty short-cut clothes, and calluses left by martial arts practice on his hands, he couldn't find a good place on his body that was not injured or scarred......

Fang Yongyan felt his stomach churn every time he looked at it, he endured his nausea, trembled and stretched out his hand to touch the head of the corpse, the blood stain on the head had been wiped clean, it was originally facing the left, but at this time, it was turned around, and his eyes stared at him directly.

“……”

Fang Yongyan finally couldn't hold back, turned his head and rushed out, leaning over and vomiting in the corner outside the cell door.

He was in a coma for five days, and he had only drunk medicinal soup and porridge water, and this time he almost vomited all his internal organs, which was really painful.

Zhan Yu was startled, and hurriedly chased after him to comfort him, seeing that he didn't know whether he was in pain or afraid, tears flowed out, and he said intermittently: "Yes...... Be...... It's him! It's him! ”

"Yong Pheasant!" Fang Huaiyuan chased him out in person, and saw that Fang Yongyan's body began to spasm, and there was no one on his face, so he simply stunned him with a finger, and turned his head to say goodbye to Yu Wufang.

Fang Yongyan had already confirmed the identity of the corpse before he fell into a coma, and Yu Wufang was not embarrassed, so he happily sent someone to open the way and watch them leave.

When the people of the Wulin League were gone, only Yu Wufang and Zhou Jiangyun were left in the dungeon.

With no outsiders present, Yu Wufang said in a cold voice: "Visiting his son in front of the Fang Alliance Leader's interview, aren't you afraid that the battle of Wahuang Peak will come again?" ”

"He thinks, but he doesn't dare." Zhou Jiangyun chuckled, "In that battle twelve years ago, not only did the Heavenly Sect suffer heavy casualties, but the Martial Arts Alliance was also greatly injured, this kind of thing that injured the enemy by one thousand and damaged eight hundred, even if Fang Huaiyuan wanted to do it, those old foxes in Baidao would not do it, let alone ......"

"What's more, you are now in the Tingyu Pavilion, and you can be regarded as having your back to the imperial court, as long as you don't be the enemy of the world like Fu Yuanyu, they won't be able to move you." Yu Wufang picked up the big flawless and handed it over, raising his eyebrows slightly, "If you want to say that you are an eagle and a dog, you are really better than blue." ”

"Uncle Jade praised it." Zhou Jiangyun took the big one hand, but the other hand held the jade flawless wrist, and lifted it up like a treasure, only to see that the plain hand was as smooth as jade under the candle flame, each finger was as neat and white as an onion root, and the fingers were not dyed with Kodan, but it was better than the purple and red in the world.

This woman is no longer young, but she is still as beautiful as he remembers.

Zhou Jiangyun seemed to be stupid, and lowered his head to kiss the almost clear fingertips, but heard Yu Wufang smile and said, "My hand has just been quenched with poison in the morning, is Sect Master Zhou tired?" ”

Her red lips were the mouth of the green bamboo snake, and her jade fingers were the back needles of the wasp's tail, but Zhou Jiangyun didn't even hesitate at all, and gently dropped a kiss on the back of her hand, and after just a moment of warmth, the hand flew away from his palm like a butterfly.

Yu Wufang took out a silk handkerchief to wipe her hands, she wiped it carelessly, but she didn't even let go of her fingers, and said lightly: "Fu Yuanyu is dead, you have one less confidant, and you can sit back and relax in the future." ”

"Uncle Jade really doesn't plan to come back?"

"I'm a person who never looks back on the way I walked out." Yu Wufang sneered, "It's you, so you can do it yourself...... Although this generation of Gu Shooting Immortal is young, he is not an easy master to deal with, you have to fool Yan Quan's perfunctory set, beware of capsizing in the gutter. ”

Zhou Jiangyun said sincerely: "I know, thank you Uncle Yu for your protection." ”

"There's no next time." Yu Wufang turned around indifferently, "Remember to call me 'Jade Mansion Master' in the future, as for the rest...... It has been broken, and there is no need to continue. ”

The silk handkerchief flew to the ground, and she stepped on it without hesitation, as if stepping on a past.

Zhou Jiangyun stood alone in the cell, his face was clearly extinguished by the candle flames, and the smile was still hanging on the corner of his mouth, like a frozen mask.

Fang Yongyan was not in a coma for too long this time, and woke up when Shen Shi.

He opened his eyes and found that he was back in the room of the North and South Inn, this time he didn't see Zhan Yu and the doctors, only Fang Huaiyuan was standing by the couch alone, supporting his head with one hand and closing his eyes to rest.

Fang Yongyan's memory has always been very good, but he can't remember how long ago he last saw Fang Huaiyuan guarding him, at this moment it was too close, he could clearly see the blue and black under Fang Huaiyuan's eyes and the white hair mixed with his temples, thinking that in the days when he had an accident, Fang Huaiyuan had not slept well.

Fang Yongyu remembered what Zhan Yu had said, and slowly stretched out his hand to cover the back of Fang Huaiyuan's hand, but he didn't expect the other party to perceive people, so he woke up first, so he retracted his hand and grabbed the corner tightly.

The father and son looked at each other, but neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was a little condensed for a while.

In the end, Fang Huaiyuan got up and poured a cup of hot water, helped Fang Yongyan to sit up, and saw that he drank it obediently, so he asked, "What else is uncomfortable?" ”

Fang Yongyan just shook his head.

Fang Huaiyuan looked at his well-behaved and quiet appearance, and felt a little relieved, only a headache.

As a parent, as long as you are not a hard-hearted jackal, it is inevitable that you will feel soft when you see your children for the rest of your life after the catastrophe, and Fang Huaiyuan is not exempt from vulgarity, even if the relationship between father and son has been stiff over the years, in the end, blood is thicker than water, Fang Yongyan can't be the heir of his half-life work, but it is his only blood and bones.

However, there are many things he can do, but he can't say.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and the expectation in Fang Yongyan's eyes gradually disappeared, he held the cup tightly that was still warm, and said in a low voice: "Dad, I'm fine, you go and rest." ”

"You ......"

Fang Huaiyuan hesitated, he knew that now was not the best time to say this, but there were some things that could not be asked in his heart, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "Do you really recognize it clearly?" ”

Fang Yongyan's face turned pale, and the fear mixed with nausea seemed to surge up again, this time with a hint of ridiculousness and pathos, he barely suppressed the surging thoughts, and said, "Yes, I recognize it clearly...... On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, we encountered a killer attack in Yizhuang, and a knife pressed into his right shoulder, leaving a scar. ”

Hearing this, Fang Huaiyuan's heart turned into a sigh, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

After a while, he suddenly asked, "So...... Your veins have fourteen points, did he open them for you? ”

Fang Yongyan's five fingers tightened, and the unfinished water in the cup swayed out, he looked up at his father, but saw that Fang Huaiyuan's expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see any joy or anger at all.

The room was quiet again, the sound of breathing was clearly audible, and just when Fang Huaiyuan thought that he couldn't wait for an answer, Fang Yongyan finally raised his head.

"Daddy......" Fang Huaiyuan's face was reflected in his clear black eyes, "He's not some wolf-hearted thief, if it weren't for him, I would have died five days ago." ”

Fang Huaiyuan's hand behind his back slowly clenched, and he asked in a low voice, "That night...... Are you sick? ”

"I was sick before the killer struck...... There are a total of twelve of those guys, I don't know any of them, they want to capture Xue Hongbi alive, but they killed me, and the two of us can only work together to earn a chance to survive...... I was injured a little, and I had to spend my mental energy, and my condition was getting worse and worse, and the medicine I carried with me was not enough to use at all, and the pulse was the last way to live. Fang Yongyan's voice became lower and lower, "He wants to save me, but unfortunately his skills are not enough, so he can only open half of the points for me, but ...... He told me a solution. ”

Fang Huaiyuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "What way?" ”

"The yin and yang in my body are flourishing and declining, and it is the most appropriate way to open up the Du pulse to balance yin and yang, but it is too risky, and I can't stand it...... The best way is actually to refine yin qi for one's own use. Fang Yongyan stared at his father's face, "I heard senior brother say that ...... Yin Book of "Heaven Interception Gong" is in your hand. ”

The more he spoke, the brighter his eyes became, as if a man who had been adrift on the sea for a long time had finally seen the embankment.

Fang Huaiyuan's martial arts function ranks among the top five in the world, and he naturally knows that this method is not nonsense, but really effective, now Fang Yongyan's pulse has been cleared by half, although it is difficult to get through the remaining half, it is no longer impossible to start, but this can only make him recover to the same as ordinary people, missing the best martial arts training years, and it is difficult to succeed in martial arts in this life.

Refining yin qi is the only way, but this road is too narrow, so narrow that only "Intercepting the Heavenly Gong" can do it under the whole world, cultivating the Yang Book can make up for the defects of Yin and Yang, and cultivating the Yin Book can turn misfortune into blessing and double the result with half the effort, no matter which method, it is a life-saving straw that changes his life for Fang Yongyu.

Now that Xue Hongbi is dead, and the Yang Book has also been sung in the world, it just so happened that Zhou Jiangyun fulfilled the contract and sent the Yin Book, as if it was an eye-opener to make up for the harsh treatment of the other party in the past fifteen years.

However, in the face of Fang Yongyan's eyes full of anticipation, Fang Huaiyuan finally sighed, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old at this moment.

"It's in my hands, but ...... Yong, no. ”

The warm hand slowly covered Fang Yongyan's eyes, Fang Huaiyuan's voice was very soft, but it was like a gust of wind, easily blowing away Fang Yongyan's soul.

Tears burned the palm of that hand and slid down Fang Yongyan's face, and he asked his father angrily, "Why...... What the? ”

Fang Huaiyuan didn't speak again, he let go of his hand and fled the room almost in embarrassment.

There was only Fang Yongyan left in the room.

The residual warmth on his face quickly disappeared, and Fang Yongyan opened his eyes and looked at the closed door

"Because...... You are the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance. ”

In muttering to himself, he answered his own question for Fang Huaiyuan, the corners of his lips rose as if he wanted to laugh, but the result was more ugly than crying.

Because Fang Huaiyuan is the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, he wants to be fair and impartial, and the disciples of the Bai Dao Farewell Sect still have a chance to persuade the four masters to get this exercise, and his own son is absolutely impossible.

"Daddy...... I promise you. Fang Yongyan looked down at his hand, "As for the rest, it's up to me." ”

The cup in his hand finally loosened, and it cracked silently at some point, and the fragments fell all over the palm, but they did not cut a bit.

At the top of Hulu Mountain, Xue Hongbi told Zhou Jiangyun that he was the last person in the world to know the Yang Book exercises, but this was not the case.

That night, Fang Yongyan had a seizure, and he said the resentment that had been suppressed in his heart for many years, just like breaking the string that maintained his consciousness, and he knew before he fell into a coma that he was afraid that he would not be able to escape death this time.

However, he soon woke up again.

Xue Hongbi didn't know where to get the hot water, filled a large bath bucket, and both of them soaked in it bare-chested, holding both hands against the Changqiang acupoint behind Fang Yongyan and the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.

Fang Yongyan has never suffered such pain since he was born, Xue Hongbi had the foresight to gag his mouth with a cloth ball, so that he could only suffer the pain of rushing to the acupoint and passing the veins, and the yin qi that had been entrenched in the Ren vein for many years seemed to be provoked, and with the operation of the yang qi, the yin qi also began to cause trouble, making him miserable, and life was worse than death.

Getting through the pulse is the most important step in the treatment of Fang Yongyan's internal diseases, but this step is too painful and difficult, there are countless masculine exercises in the world, but only the true qi of the Yang Book of "Intercepting the Heavenly Gong" can be protected when he is dying, but this method is extremely depleted, Xue Hongbi himself is still impacting the second realm, and it is a fantasy to want to open up the pulse of Fang Yongyan with his own strength, so he only helps to induce qi into the body, and when Fang Yongyan is so painful that he can't die, he will tell him about the heart of the Yang Book, and let him impact the key by himself.

Fang Yongyan didn't want to listen or learn, but he had to send the arrow on the string, except to do what Xue Hongbi said, he couldn't have other thoughts at all, and the whole person seemed to have become a puppet, at the mercy of the thread lifter.

From the friendship of Zichou to the time of Yin, he was near death several times, and then came back to life.

Before he fell unconscious for the last time, he heard Xue Hongbi say in his ear: "If you don't want to die, don't tell anyone." ”

After Fang Yongyun woke up, he learned from Zhan Yu that everyone in the White Dao was gloating about Zhou Jiangyun's missing Yang Book, but he was the only one who was cold in his heart, knowing that once the news leaked out, even if he was Fang Huaiyuan's son, Zhou Jiangyun would not let him go.

No matter what the reason, Xue Hongbi didn't tell this secret in the end, it just so happened that Fang Yongyan had been in a coma for five days, and he had not really cultivated the Yang Book, and there was only a little internal force left in his body when Xue Hongbi drew qi for him, and the Du Pulse was only half opened, which was almost the same as ordinary people, and he narrowly escaped Zhou Jiangyun.

Therefore, he reciprocated a lie.

Xue Hongbi not only had a knife wound on his right shoulder, but also a tooth mark that Fang Yongyan bit when he was in extreme pain, and that bite was extremely hard, it would definitely leave a scar, but there was no one on the right shoulder of the corpse.

Fang Yongyan thought that this would be the two clear, but it wasn't until the conversation with Fang Huaiyuan just now that he knew what Xue Hongbi's reason for handing over the Yang Book to him was-

Xue Hongbi did his best to save him out of kindness, but he handed over such a priceless treasure as the Yang Book, and said that the Yin Book had twice the result with half the effort, but it was to deal with Fang Huaiyuan.

Fang Yongyan had a rigid relationship with Fang Huaiyuan because of his mother's death, but there was still a trace of delusion in his heart, "one life for one life" was just the first step in the collapse of the delusion, Xue Hongbi used the exercises to let Fang Yongyan see with his own eyes how he was given up by Fang Huaiyuan, so that Fang Yongyan knew how worthless he was in front of the chivalrous reputation of the martial arts alliance leader, if he wanted to change his fate, Fang Huaiyuan, the leader of the alliance, was the biggest stumbling block, even if it couldn't make trouble to the point of cannibalism between father and son, wait until the day Fang Yongyan's exercises were leaked, There will definitely be a confrontation between the Heaven Replenishing Sect and the Martial Arts Alliance.

Fang Huaiyuan was able to invite Fu Yuanyuan's sworn brother to kill him for thousands of miles, Xue Hongbi let Fang Huaiyuan's only son become a dark sword behind his back, it was not Xue Hongbi himself who mastered this sword, but the feelings of the Fang family's father and son, but at this point, Fang Huaiyuan would always only disappoint Fang Yongyu.

Therefore, Fang Yongyan knew that the various calculations behind this would still fall deeper and deeper.

"Little Devil ......"

Fang Yongyan slowly let go of his hand, let the fragments scatter all over the ground, and said to himself: "Since you are not dead, you should live well...... We will definitely see you again. ”
