Go to Jiankang City for fifty-four miles, between the three-color jungle, there are white buildings towering, straight into the sky. The walls of the building are made of white cobblestones, and the tentacles are rounded and smooth; The eaves of the building are covered by the thousand-year-old snow rock, the layering is distinct, the dense is not exposed, so it is impermeable to the sun, causing the building to accumulate cold all year round, and the cold is abnormal. However, the height of this building can climb the stars and moons, so it is also called the star picking building.

Picking up the star building, the mysterious white building that talks about color change in the martial arts, is also a gold medal killer building that goes up to the high-ranking officials and nobles, and down to the Jianghu sect that does not hesitate to pay a lot of money. It is said that as long as a person's name is engraved on a special copper plate made by the Star Picking Tower, then the person's head can only stay on his neck for half a month at most, and that person doesn't even know where to hide, so he has to dig a grave and wait for death. The people in the rivers and lakes would rather offend the Luo Shen Palace of the "Nine Clans" than dare to offend the Star Picking Tower of the "Half Moon Kill", because if the former is offended, there is at least a chance to escape, but if he offends the latter, then his head can only be stored on his neck.

At this moment, the owner of this white building, a middle-aged man who was intimidated by the heroes of the world, Shan Qingrong, was pacing alone in the empty and cold hall. His steps were light, but they sounded so loud in such a lonely and silent hall, as if every step was in the ears of a person. It seemed as if he was the only one living in this star-picking building, but as soon as he clapped his hands twice, killers would appear in front of him from different angles and wait for him to dispatch. This once calm and introverted lonely man seemed a little restless today, although he refused to admit it, but he himself knew why he was like this, just because he sent out that person, it was that person who affected his emotions, he knew that he shouldn't care about a killing tool, but he also knew that he couldn't use that person as a killing tool anymore, and he didn't even want to give her the task of killing people anymore, because he didn't want her to be in danger.

In the midst of the scorching, a killer limped in through the main entrance. When Shan Qingrong saw her, the original look of anticipation in his eyes was immediately replaced by disgust, and he pointed at the lame girl killer and said coldly: "Such an embarrassed look, you dare to appear in front of me!" The girl killer didn't say anything, just looked down at her injured right leg in silence, and a stalk of magnolia was stuck in her hamstring.

Shan Qingrong shook her head in disgust, and as soon as she raised her hand, she sucked the flower branch in her hand, and the girl killer screamed in pain and fell to one knee. Shan Qingrong asked with a slight sorrow: "Did that kid Yu Dongqiu do it?" The girl killer nodded slightly, and Shan Qingrong said again: "I know that he is not easy to deal with, but I didn't expect this kid to have such a good technique and internal strength, and it seems that the title of 'Playboy' is not in vain." His expression turned nervous: "So, you have failed, what ...... What about Qianling? The girl killer said: "I was led away by Yu Dongqiu, and I didn't die for the time being!" "Led away by that playboy?" Shan Qingrong's voice was a little out of tune, and his previous seriousness and ability were all swept away, "I have to go in person." The girl killer struggled to block in front of Shan Qingrong and said, "This is Qianling's own choice." Shan Qingrong pinched her chin and asked, "What do you mean by her own choice?" The girl killer screamed in pain: "From the first time Yu Dongqiu met in Yanyulou, Qianling became confused and fascinated, the man drank for half a month in Yanyulou, and she looked at him for half a month behind the bead curtain...... "Shut up!" Shan Qingrong increased the strength of his hand, so that the girl killer could no longer speak, and at this moment, it seemed that the cyan meridians could be seen from his pale and almost transparent face.

Shan Qingrong also realized his gaffe, but let go of his hand, but turned his back and stopped looking at the tearful eyes of the girl killer. But this girl killer struggled to stand up, pondered for a while, and finally said in a calm and resolute voice that he had never had before: "Now I finally understand why Su Qianling's mission failure is excusable, and my Bai Yinjun's mission failure is that I didn't do my best." ”

Shan Qingrong suddenly turned around and looked at Bai Yinjun viciously: "Why? ”

"Because ......" Bai Yinjun paused, and finally said the words that had been held in his heart for a long time without vomiting unpleasantly: "Because you love her at all, it is the love of men and women." ”

Shan Qingrong jerked Bai Yinjun's placket: "Do you believe it or not, I'll kill you with one slap right now?" The corners of Bai Yinjun's mouth had already bitten out blood, and he said, "I said this today, I didn't intend to live." In fact, you know very well in your heart, but you don't want to admit it, every time you look at Qianling, your eyes will glow with a youthful brilliance, but it seems to have a certain regret and sentimentality, as if to say - it would be nice if I could be younger. Shan Qingrong's expression at the moment was unpredictable, I don't know if he was happy or angry, shocked or sighing. But he still smiled, and said with a smile that didn't affect any muscles on his face: "I didn't expect that in this huge star-picking building, you know me best." ”

Bai Yinjun also smiled uglyly: "So even if you don't hesitate to cultivate over the years, you will not kill me because I understand your mind so well!" ”

Shan Qingrong let go of Bai Yinjun, paced for a long time, and suddenly turned around and said, "We might as well wait and see, what is the result tonight?" ”

Bai Yinjun said: "Qianling's martial arts are not below Yu Dongqiu, but I bet she will never kill him even if she has the opportunity." ”

Shan Qingrong was ready to attack again, but this time he endured it, just clenched his fists tightly, trying to calm himself down, waiting for the result he was expecting.

On the green slope of Xiaoheling, two figures were panting against each other, it was Yu Dongqiu and Su Qianling. Since they got to Xiaoheling to stand on their feet, these two people have passed a full seven hundred and thirty-one moves, but they have not yet decided the winner, and now both of them are so tired that they can't stand steadily, so they can only stalemate relatively and rest for the time being, but they still don't forget to fight the battle of words.

Yu Dongqiu said: "In the past five years, I have met a woman with such good physical strength as you. If it weren't for your natural beauty, I would have suspected that you were a man. ”

Su Qianling sneered: "It seems that your physical strength has been overdrawn, this time I am going to succeed, I will kill you now, a useless man." As she spoke, she was about to raise her sword again, but her arm was already shaking, she clearly said that she would kill again, but there was infinite affection hidden in her bright eyes - in fact, if the two of them really wanted to kill each other, why should they fight each other for so many times, I don't know how many opportunities to succeed were missed when they deliberately changed moves.

Yu Dongqiu smiled weakly: "You don't have to be reckless, seeing that you can't even walk steadily, do you still want to kill?" ”

Su Qianling said: "See if I can kill or not." Lifting the sword, he took two steps towards Yu Dongqiu, and softly stabbed a sword at him, but Yu Dongqiu only stretched out his arm to clamp the sword under his armpit, and took a small step back, and took Su Qianling's sword down. Su Qianling took out her palm to hit Yu Dongqiu's lower abdomen again, the palm was weak and weak, Yu Dongqiu grabbed Su Qianling's palm with both hands, and only pulled Su Qianling into her arms with only a little force, Su Qianling was furious and stretched out her legs to trip Yu Dongqiu, but this Yu Dongqiu didn't let go, even if she tripped and fell, she still had to pull the other party down together.

In this way, the two fell to the ground at the same time, and Yu Dongqiu was unstable and almost rolled down the hillside, Su Qianling hurriedly reached out and dragged him, which pulled him back, and at the same time saw Yu Dongqiu's "despicable" smile: "It seems that you still don't want me to die, right?" Su Qianling frowned and said, "You dare to lie to me." "Standing up is like a hard elbow on Yu Dongqiu's chest, and Yu Dongqiu is so painful that he almost vomits a mouthful of blood." I'm sorry, I'm sorry, and I ask Miss Su Qianling to spare her life! Yu Dongqiu begged for mercy again and again, Su Qianling stopped and asked sharply, "How do you know my name?" Yu Dongqiu said innocently: "When you viciously wanted to kill me before, didn't you say, 'I don't know how many masters of the sect have died under Su Qianling, and I am afraid that you will only steal jade and incense'?" Su Qianling burst out laughing after hearing this, and Yu Dongqiu approached her: "Isn't it more beautiful for you to laugh like this?" Why do you keep a straight face? Su Qianling's expression suddenly became very solemn, and Yu Dongqiu asked even more unknowingly: "Do you have a childhood shadow?" Su Qianling's expression completely darkened, and when she was about to use the same method to push an elbow at Yu Dongqiu, Yu Dongqiu suddenly looked up at the sky, and returned to his usual lazy expression: "No wonder you look so much like mine, it turns out that we are all lonely!" Su Qianling naturally didn't make another move, just spread her body and watched the bright moon in the sky side by side with Yu Dongqiu, the moon was so big that it seemed to be close in front of them, within reach, and they could even feel that the cold light was slowly enveloping their whole bodies, allowing their bodies and minds to regain their former clarity together with the earth in the silent silence.

Su Qianling's thoughts also drifted away at this time......

Su Qianling was not originally called Su Qianling, but she had already forgotten what her original name was.

Twelve years ago, she was just an ordinary peasant girl, so her life was just to support her family, learn some knitting women's red, and then marry a simple and simple country husband, so she died in peace and tranquility.

Originally, she could have been an ordinary person, because although the family was peaceful, she was the only child in the family after all, her parents were hardworking and loyal, and her life was still happy and harmonious. But it wasn't until the following year that the family suffered an unprecedented blow. Originally, the birth of my sister should be the most joyful thing for this family, but the drought that followed for two consecutive years made the whole village lose its harvest, and the peasant households who lived on the land naturally had no peace of mind, not only did they have no food and clothing, but also had to pay heavy rent to the heartless landlord, and their lives were miserable. At this time, Qianling's sudden blindness in her eyes undoubtedly made the peasant family even worse, and the kind and hard-working parents were really unable to support the expensive medicine expenses while barely maintaining their sister's life. In this way, Su Qianling, a seven-year-old girl, was blind and became a little blind person in the mouths of other people's children, but she didn't cry or make trouble, and she seemed to be very sensible when she was seven years old.

Then, on a restless night, Su Qianling tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. The muffled conversation of her parents came from next door, and she felt that the conversation must be about herself, so she quietly put her ear to the wall.

"What to do? Even the frozen cabbage in the cellar is almost finished, and the official food has not been distributed until now, how will I live in the future? From the other side of the wall came the mother's low sobs.

"I heard the village head Ah Ming say that in another month, the official food will be distributed to our village, and we just need to survive this month." This is the voice of the father.

"I can also go to my sister's house to borrow a few catties of sweet potatoes, I should be able to last a few days, but it's just ......"

"Alas——, she's like this now, for the sake of the whole family, it seems that there is only ......"

The mother cried even harder, and at the same time, Xiao Qianling was also stunned, she seemed to have guessed what her parents did not say with her sensitive nerves. Somehow, she slept soundly that night.

The next day, her mother called her up early, saying that she was taking her to the market, and that she had found a half-new padded jacket for her to wear. Along the way, she didn't speak, only the sound of the worn-out wheels of the cart crushing against the ice, the silent sobs of her mother, and the phlegm-filled cough of her father. When she arrived at the market, her mother led her to a slightly sunny corner and told her that her parents were going to do New Year's goods, and told her to wait patiently and not run around. She nodded obediently, in fact, she already knew that they would never come back to pick her up after leaving like this, she just pretended not to know anything, she could even see her mother's reluctant expression step by step and her father's ragged and decadent figure with her heart's eyes.

At night, the temperature seemed to drop a lot, and the jacket on Qianling's body, which had nearly half of the cotton removed, could no longer play any role in keeping out the cold, and she only felt that the blood in her whole body was gradually cold and coagulated. In the snow, a thin blind girl wearing only one shoe curled up in a corner of the market, let him be as big as the world, but this woman was lonely, had nothing to rely on, and was very pitiful.

Just when Qianling was already hovering on the border line of death, a soft fox fur coat was draped over her, and someone said to her in a cold but magnetic voice: "I can give you a chance to live, but you have to give me all your abilities." A cold wind swept by, and she knew that someone had reached out to her, and she knew that when she held this hand, her life might change, but she also almost did not hesitate to hold the cold, but very dry and very stable hand, so she was taken by him into another world, a world where the soul can never be saved.

Then, the cold-hearted man took her back to the Star-Picking Tower, where everyone was intimidating, and not only cured her eyes, but also taught her murderous tricks that were enough to make a living, so she fell into the abyss of no return, and when she wanted to turn back, she found that she had completely forgotten where she had come, and her hands could be washed, but the smell of blood on them could not be removed. When she made up her mind to leave the Star Picking Tower, the pale-faced man actually came to her with a cruel smile holding another girl's hand, he wanted to keep her, just the girl he was holding was enough, because this girl was none other than Su Qianling's biological sister, he was about to let this girl go on the road of a killer again, but Qianling still didn't know who she should hate, whether she should hate Shan Qingrong or hate fate. Bai Yinjun may be her only relative in this world, she must protect her, she must stay......

At this moment, there is another powerful force instigating Qianling's selfishness, and the source of this attraction naturally comes from Yu Dongqiu. When Su Qianling's gaze moved to Yu Dongqiu's face, she found that he was also staring at her, with a very strong sense of tenderness in his eyes, and a deep sense of pity between the flow of his eyes. His hand had already touched her cheek, which was exceptionally soft and warm, enough to melt the frost that had accumulated on her face for years, Su Qianling suddenly felt that the high wall in her heart that had been used to isolate all people and all injuries and had accidentally bound her own was slowly disintegrating, and she couldn't help but reach out and caress Yu Dongqiu's cheek, which was only a stone's throw away. "I seem to be able to feel the loneliness and sadness in your heart, because I know that feeling better than anyone else." Yu Dongqiu looked at Su Qianling affectionately and said softly.

Just as the two men were about to hold each other, a red light shone between them, and they both rolled outward, and when they stood up, they found that the red, iron-like thing had been planted deep into the ground, and corroded the surrounding grass. The two of them had the same thought in their hearts, at this time the cloud had closed the moon, and several black-clothed masked people appeared in the darkness, each holding a red iron shovel and poking at Su Qianling, Su Qianling raised her arm, and dozens of sleeve arrows were released from her sleeves, and the black-clothed people blocked most of them, but when they heard two screams, the two black-clothed people fell from mid-air, and the rest of the black-clothed people disappeared into the darkness again. Yu Dongqiu stepped forward and asked, "Why are these people so weird, what is the origin?" Su Qianling didn't look at Yu Dongqiu, and said coldly: "This is the beam I knotted, it's none of your business, you can go!" Yu Dongqiu was a little angry: "Just because you slapped me, I won't leave you alone." Su Qianling's voice softened at this time: "They are people from the Dark Luo Hall, and their martial arts are very common, but they are the best at hiding themselves with darkness. I killed them last month, but I'm afraid that I've been thinking about revenge, this time with you, I'm afraid that they have been watching for a long time, if you can't help them kill me, you can also wait for me to run out of strength, come to a trick 'fisherman's profit'. As he spoke, he felt two fierce winds poking straight towards the two of them, and when his eyes got used to it, the red light had already reached his shoulders, and the two of them only had time to turn sideways slightly, and three jagged blood marks had been scratched on their arms. The two of them slapped at each other at the same time, but it missed, and the man in black once again disappeared into the darkness, thinking about the next angle of attack. Su Qianling still sneered at Yu Dongqiu: "This is the end of your recklessness, I am a killer and naturally I am used to being injured, you noble son is only afraid that he will die of pain!" Yu Dongqiu was not annoyed, but turned around abruptly, jumped down from the top of the slope with his long white sleeves, and his body was very much like a white giant winged butterfly, and after a while, his person was already standing on the edge of the lake below the hillside, Su Qianling smiled disdainfully: "After all, he is still a greedy person who is afraid of death." So he twisted the thin sword and prepared to fight alone, who knew that at this time Yu Dongqiu returned to the hillside, and pulled Su Qianling into his arms, and gave the whole back to the enemy, Su Qianling saw that seven or eight red lights were shooting towards his back, for the first time in his life, he actually had a feeling of fear and worry, and was about to turn Yu Dongqiu over to change positions with him, who knew that Yu Dongqiu smiled at her slyly, turned around and waved his sleeves fiercely, and saw two water jets spraying towards those strong winds, It turned out that he rushed to the lake just to use his sleeves to gather true qi, and he was flooding two pools of water with this true qi, so that no matter how these black-clothed people would use the night to hide themselves, the water droplets on their bodies could not be concealed no matter what. Su Qianling was overjoyed, and at the same time she had a heartfelt admiration for Yu Dongqiu.

In this way, both of them are no longer limited by their eyesight, and they naturally work together, and they kill a group of people in black one after another in a short time, Su Qianling and Yu Dongqiu are still standing with their backs to each other, and they seem to be reluctant to leave the reassuring body temperature that the other party gives them, which can make the other party feel that they are no longer lonely.

"It's really time to leave, since you can't kill him, then you have to go back and confess, but why is there so much reluctance in your heart? Since you are reluctant? Why do you have to leave? Su Qianling lowered her head and walked away silently, Yu Dongqiu heard her footsteps getting farther away, and also lowered her head and walked forward silently, the sorrow and pain in her eyes seemed to make heaven and earth cry.

"As you said earlier, just because I slapped you, you won't leave me alone. What does that mean? Su Qianling stopped and asked suddenly.

Yu Dongqiu's gloomy eyes regained their brilliance: "Because you are the first person to beat me because you love me." ”

Su Qianling's cheeks were crimson, but she still looked indifferent: "Love you?" I think you're self-righteous, right? ”

Yu Dongqiu said: "Hasn't the girl been hiding behind the bead curtain and watching me for the past half a month? You feel so uncomfortable to see me laughing with those prostitutes, so you can't help but want to hit me, right? ”

Su Qianling said hurriedly: "How is it possible? But I couldn't help but think: "Is it true that I have fallen in love with him, at a certain inadvertent time, even without knowing myself, I have already been emotionally attached to him, and when I watch him flirt with others, I am indeed very uncomfortable in my heart, and it seems that I am still very painful and unwilling, is this love?" ”

In the moonlit lake, the figures of the two are getting closer and closer, they are approaching an unknown person who can bring them the happiness of the legend, the breeze is light, the lake is rippling, and the figures of the two people overlap like this, as if they are two lovers who have sworn in their previous lives because of the tricks of fate and have to find a thousand years in the reincarnation of the past life, and then life finally begins to entangle.
