"I deliberately ran out of the city at that time, but I actually returned to the city, so that the soldiers who chased me outside the city naturally couldn't catch me." In the Li Mansion compound, Li Yang said to Ye Gucheng.

sighed again: "It's just a pity, those black-clothed masked people were not all wiped out, and their identities are not clear, but there was a seriously injured one, and when I came back, I found that they had been taken away by the government, and even those corpses were there, and I couldn't find them if I wanted to." ”

The battle with the black-clothed masked man, from the streets of the city, all the way to the city gate, the impact is really not small, and it is normal to alarm the government, unlike the inefficiency of the local government of Yanjia in Shanxi, this is the capital, the capital of Gyeonggi, Li Yang has not returned to the city, the government has already been dispatched and controlled the situation, and Li Yang does not want to have anything to do with the imperial court, so he did not delve into it.

This is the end of the attack of the black-clad masked man.

Ye Gucheng raised his hand.

A servant girl walked in outside the door, holding a set of neatly folded clothes in both hands, and placed them lightly in front of Li Yang.

"Put on this dress." Ye Gucheng Road.

Li Yang did not hesitate, picked up the clothes, flashed behind the screen, and when he came out again, the clothes had already been changed, and the original clothes on his body were held in his hands and taken by the maidservant.

"Take it and burn it."

"Yes." The maidservant took Li Yang's clothes and respectfully withdrew.

"Is this necessary?" Li Yang shook his clothes a little uncomfortably.

Different from the martial arts suit he wears on weekdays, which is close and comfortable, he is wearing a robe with wide sleeves and collars, square-toed shoes, and a six-hat at the moment.

"Be careful." Ye Gucheng looked at Li Yang with a deep gaze.

"Although the group of people who attacked you were defeated, what they said is the truth, you are now the target of everyone, half of the sects in the rivers and lakes are wanted by you, and as the duel between me and Ximen is approaching, more and more people from the rivers and lakes are pouring into the capital, if they know that you are in the capital, you will never have peace, what I want to do will also be affected by you, and the success will be successful."

"That has to be done?" Li Yang asked.

"I have to do it." Ye Gucheng's tone was categorical.

Li Yang was silent.

He really couldn't understand why the sword immortal who was free in the white clouds, an extraordinary and peerless figure, would devote himself to such a thing as usurping power and seizing the throne.

Is it really lonely, idle, and passing the time?

Listening to Ye Gucheng's categorical tone, looking at Ye Gucheng's resolute attitude, he was so careful that even Li Yang's clothes had to be burned, leaving no traces, this is not like just playing casually and passing the time, but there is a kind of resoluteness that the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return.

Or is Ye Gucheng a careerist who seems indifferent on the outside, but is full of power on the inside?

A careerist will never be able to practice Ye Gucheng's peerless swordsmanship, because the careerist's heart is full of rights and has no sword.

What is the reason for that?

"I don't understand...... Li Yang sighed.

Ye Gucheng actually smiled unprecedentedly, "You'll understand sooner or later." ”

He felt that if there was anyone in this world who could understand him, there were only two of them.

Simon blows snow.

Li Yang.

It's just that when will they understand?

"What do you mean?" Li Yang asked strangely.

Ye Gucheng didn't speak immediately, lowered his head, and stroked the Feihong Sword that was lying across his legs.

This sword has been with Li Yang for more than half a month, from Emei to the capital, after big and small battles, drinking blood of dozens of people, there are ordinary Emei disciples, there are also celebrities in the rivers and lakes Xiao Gu Daoren, and there are also unidentified black-clothed masked people...... It had been stained with blood over and over again, and it had already become dirty, and even after wiping it, it still felt much duller than before.

Like girls, swords also need to be raised, and if Li Yangguang doesn't use them, no matter how good the sword falls into his hands, it will be ruined.

Seeing that his beloved sword was like this, Ye Gucheng was not angry at all, but pointed out Li Yang.

"Are you like those laymen, who think that I am the number one sword in the world, and that I should be free from the world and transcend the world?"

"Shouldn't it be like that?" Li Yang asked rhetorically.

Practicing peerless martial arts, achieving a generation of masters, walking the world with a sword, traveling the world freely, above the world, and beyond the world, this is not the dream of those who practice martial arts.

"Transcending the earthly world, this is indeed my pursuit." Even Ye Gucheng himself said so.

"So, your pursuit has changed now?" Li Yang couldn't help but think so.

Ye Gucheng said: "It has never changed. ”

"But what you are going to do now is contrary to your pursuit." Li Yang said.

"It's the opposite."

Ye Gucheng got up suddenly, and his always indifferent face revealed a look that Li Yang had never seen before, almost fanatical.

"I'm still pursuing!"

"Pursue the true and higher way of the sword!"

"I abandoned the glory of the Sword Immortal, I let go of the dignity of the Lord of Baiyun City, dedicated my life, and entered this rolling earthly world, just to pursue, that earthly avenue."

I don't know why, every time Ye Gucheng said a word, Li Yang's heart shook violently, and finally he stood up excitedly and asked loudly.

"You really don't regret it?"

"I don't regret it!" Ye Gucheng Road.

"Knowing it's death?"

"Knowing it's death!"

One question and one answer, the former seemed to be tortured, the latter seemed to be determined, Li Yang was obviously infected by Ye Gucheng, and his face showed a rare flush, admiring it, applauding it, and it took a while to return to normal.

"Born into the world, first into the world." Li Yang sat down and spat out such a sentence.

The fanaticism and determination on Ye Gucheng's face disappeared, and he returned to normal, looked at Li Yang, and showed appreciation, "It seems that you understand." ”

If you don't enter the world, how can you transcend the world?

Li Yang shook his head, "I don't understand, I just remembered someone." ”

"Who?" Ye Gucheng asked, and also sat down.

"Simon blows snow."

"Oh?" Ye Gucheng was obviously interested.

In fact, he has always been interested in Ximen Blowing Snow, but he has nowhere to know.

There's no way, no one in this world has ever seen Simon's sword blowing snow, because everyone who has seen it is dead......

So until now, there is a duel, and Ye Gucheng's understanding of Ximen Blowing Snow is still only at the level of high swordsmanship and ruthlessness.

The more this is the case, the more interested Ye Gucheng is in blowing snow at the West Gate.

"What you just said reminds me of some of the things that Simon Blowing Snow once said to me."

"What did he say?" Ye Gucheng took the initiative to ask, he had been friends for a long time, and he cherished each other, and he really wanted to know about Ximen Blowing Snow.

A look of memory appeared on Li Yang's face, "He said that the real sword needs to enter the WTO, no matter how good the sword is, if it has not gone through the experience of the human world, it is not a good sword." ”

Li Yang's memory is still so good, he remembers every word, including typos......

Hearing this, Ye Gucheng was a little disappointed, "The WTO entry in his mouth is clearly different from the WTO entry I said." ”

Li Yang said: "He also said that not only to enter, but also to be able to enter and exit." ”

Ye Gucheng shook his head, "It's still two different things." ”

"He also told me a story." When Li Yang mentioned this story, his face was somewhat strange, because the feeling of being taken advantage of was back.

"The story told by Ximen Fuxue must be very special, let's hear it." Ye Gucheng became interested again.

Before Li Yang spoke, he solemnly and seriously reminded: "This is your own request, when you listen to this story, if you feel that you have been taken advantage of, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”

“……”

Ye Gucheng didn't understand.

But his interest was even stronger.

And someone will naturally not let go, this is a bright water word opportunity:

"Once upon a time...... ①”

After telling the story, Li Yang's eyes rolled and asked Ye Gucheng with a smile, "Can you guess how he died?" ”

In normal times, Ye Gucheng would never pay attention to Li Yang, but this is the story told by Ximen Fuxue, Ye Gucheng felt that there must be a deep meaning in this, so he really lowered his head and pondered the answer.

"It's definitely not a duel to the death, otherwise the story would have no moral to speak of...... It should have been killed by the enemy's poisoning and sneak attack...... No, no, no, if it's just such a cliché story, there is no need for Simon Blowing Snow to tell you otherwise, then...... Maybe it was the death of a friend's betrayal? Or, being killed by a woman you love? Well, maybe it's still the kind of friend or woman who has very low martial arts or even doesn't know martial arts? ”

Li Yang opened his mouth, I really want to ask, have you heard this story from Ximen Fuxue a long time ago?

This is obviously impossible.

Simon Blowing Snow is not a storyteller, and his father is even more impossible.

"Looks like I guessed right." There was no need for Li Yang to admit it, Ye Gucheng looked at Li Yang's expression and knew that he had guessed correctly.

Li Yang nodded in affirmation.

"It seems that the sword path of Ximen blowing snow is a ruthless way." Ye Gucheng said again.

Li Yang had no choice but to nod and continue to affirm.

Simon Fuxue finally said that he had been waiting.

"Wait for an opponent, right?"

"Aha, you're finally wrong." Li Yang came to the spirit at once.

"He said he was waiting for a woman who could both kill him and make him laugh."

Hearing this, the expression on Ye Gucheng's face froze, as if this sentence contained great magic, and in one fell swoop, he walked into the depths of Ye Gucheng's heart, making his heart, which had been lonely for a long time, beat violently.

"It turns out that there is another person in the world who is pursuing the same as me."

"My way is not lonely, my way is not lonely......"

Ye Gucheng muttered in his mouth, his eyes looked through the door, looking into the distance.

In the blue sky, he seemed to see a white robe, a long sword, and a figure.

It was Simon blowing snow.

And Simon Fuxue was also looking at him, laughing.

Simon Blowing Snow never laughs.

If Li Yang knew what Ye Gucheng was thinking, he would definitely say so.

But Ye Gucheng just saw it, and he also saw that the figure of Ximen blowing snow slowly, gradually, became himself.

Still smiling......
