Seven

Chi Tianzong did not take the Jinghong in Yanyun's hand, but raised the corners of his mouth, and his indifferent smile was a little incredible: "Everyone in the world knows that Jinghong is the heirloom of the Huo family of the Sixteen Elements, and it is the treasure that commands the entire Sixteen Elements. ”

Yanyun was silent for a while, and looked at Chi Tianzong with a pair of bright eyes: "I know you are a good person. ”

"Good guys?" Chi Tianzong looked at her eyes with some playfulness, and his sharp gaze went straight into her eyes: "How do you know that I am a good person?" ”

How sinister and cunning this person's heart is, does she Huo Yanyun know it?

"I met you Pingshui, and you know the identity of me and Tanlong, the Sixteen Elements are doing their best to hunt us down, and you didn't stand by." Yan Yun did not show the slightest cowardice under his mocking gaze, but continued: "Even if you have a cold and indifferent temperament, you have not saved us from death. ”

Chi Tianzong looked at her quietly for a long time before he said, "If you don't come back, how can I explain to him?" ”

Yanyun smiled helplessly, and said lightly: "Then help me tell him, I left everything and left alone." ”

Chi Tianzong glanced at her deeply and took Jinghong: "How can a person like you be the master of the sixteen elements." ”

Yanyun was stunned.

What is destined to be done, how can she have the final say. It's just that Dad went early, and if he was by his side at this time, he would definitely tell her how to take this road.

Since Yanyun was sensible, she knew that the Sixteen Lines had been doing murderous business, but at that time, there had always been Sigong around her to control the things in the line, and she only cared about studying medicine and martial arts all day long, but she was also at ease. Now, she couldn't help laughing at herself, as soon as the fourth prince left, the people who were eyeing her immediately came to the door to seize the throne and forced her out of the Danqing Peak Heavenly Castle Tower.

Yanyun raised his head and looked at the far-reaching night sky, and said, "The seat of the lord of this line, they let me sit ten years ago, and now they want me to get out of the way, whether it is or not, I can't help it." ”

"Have you ever killed someone?" She asked him.

He was silent.

"I killed someone for the first time not long ago." Still looking into the distance, she said calmly, "If I don't kill him, the one who saved me will die, or I will die." I don't have a choice. Her voice was small, as if muttering to herself.

"In the sixteen lines, I have learned many ways to kill, whether it is with hidden weapons or poison." She fell into a long memory: "So since I was a child, I thought that human life was so cheap, and it was not easy to take it. It was only when I actually killed a person that I realized that it was just a fatal sword, but it took a lot of courage. ”

Chi Tianzong had been quietly looking at her depressed, and a few words of calm statement brought a bit of bitterness.

He looked at the cliff at his feet: "It only takes one move to kill a person, but it takes a long time to save a person." ”

Yanyun gently kicked the gravel: "I didn't understand before, since there is an invisible poison that kills people, why is there an antidote to save people from all catastrophes; If a man dies eventually, why should he save him? ”

"And now?" Chi Tianzong looked at her.

"I understand now." Yanyun raised the corners of her mouth, because in this world, there are always some people who need her to protect, morality and affection, responsibility and commitment, these have never been mentioned in her silver needle building full of poison and hidden weapons, and they have never been talked about in her naΓ―ve years.

Chi Tianzong stopped talking, turned around and walked towards the wooden house. Yanyun looked at his back and finally felt a hint of humanity from him.

When I woke up in the morning, the faint fragrance of osmanthus came to my face.

Tanlong was still resting on the wooden couch, looking peaceful. Yan Yun looked around the house, but he didn't see Chi Tianzong's figure. So she walked out gently, for fear of disturbing Tanlong.

As soon as I went out, I saw finely broken osmanthus flowers all over the ground.

Chi Tianzong stood in front of the medicine shelf outside the house to sort out the herbs, and at his feet were two black jars that were more than three feet high. Yanyun looked strange, so he walked over to find out.

As soon as he approached, he smelled a burst of intoxicating wine, mixed with the smell of osmanthus, faint, but very similar to his style.

"Is it osmanthus wine?" Yanyun asked.

"Hmm." He seemed to be in a good mood, and answered her knowingly question in a gentle voice for the first time.

The breeze blew through the valley, pushing up layers of turquoise waves, the rustling of leaves rubbing, and a few crisp birdsongs from time to time, the faint smell of wine lingering on the tip of her nose, and her feet on the solid earth, she couldn't help but feel that this moment was so rare and peaceful.

Chi Tianzong leisurely washed the osmanthus flowers, crushed them slightly, sprinkled them into the wine, and from time to time closed his eyes and sniffed the elegant aroma of the wine, the aroma made his eyebrows stretch, like a warm ball gently ironing his thoughts.

Yanyun looked at his silhouette, his dark green clothes were undulating in the breeze, his expression was not stained with worldly colors, this body was free and easy, it was really enviable. Looking at this rare Chi Tianzong with a little human touch, she couldn't help but feel strange, it was obvious that they had met in Pingshui, but she had an indescribable trust in this person, and even some dependence.

At this time, he handed over a glass of osmanthus wine.

She took the wine glass, looked at the wine in the glass, and frowned: "Dad once said that wine is a poison that pierces the intestines, but he often drinks. ”

"A glass of wine, a few past events, is a thousand turns." He poured himself a glass, tilted his head slightly, and drank it all.

It doesn't sound like this melancholy coming from the mouth of such an indifferent person.

Yan Yun looked into the room and saw that Tanlong still didn't move, and was a little worried: "It's strange, it's so late, why hasn't Brother Tanlong gotten up yet?" ”

"He's not going to wake up today." He grinded the osmanthus lightly.

Yanyun was stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

He put the ground osmanthus into the wine, took out some and put it on the table, and said, "I put some soothing herbs in the incense burner." ”

She frowned, waiting for him to continue.

"Aren't you going to leave tonight," he looked up at her faintly, and saw that she was waiting for his explanation, so he said, "Rather than lie to him, let him fall asleep, and when you come back he will wake up naturally, and there is no need to explain the twists and turns." ”

Yan Yunhu was suspicious: "How do you know that I am going tonight?" ”

He was sarcastic: "You are eager to save people's hearts, it is difficult to choose an auspicious day of the zodiac." ”

Yanyun tugged at the corners of his mouth and didn't say anything more.

He still looked like he didn't care about himself: "There is a packet of schisandra and a packet of poisonous bee powder on the table. ”

Poisonous bee powder is used to make people faint, and Schisandra helps her to repel snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains. Yanyun knew that he couldn't help but have a good impression of him.

After he said this, he no longer paid attention to her, but immersed himself in the pleasure of winemaking.

After a busy time, the sun has set in an instant.

Before going out, Yanyun finally helped Tanlong check his pulse, and saw that his pulse was stable, so he left with peace of mind. When he went out, he found that Chi Tianzong was lying on the roof again at some point.

"If you don't come back at dawn, I will hand over Jinghong to Tanlong." His voice was like a pool of calm water, without the slightest ripple. Seeing her turn over and get on the horse, he said, "Twenty miles east of the valley, there is the mouth of the Feihe Gorge." ”

Yanyun took the reins and said slowly: "I'm tired." ”

The setting sun spreads over the valley, the sound of horses' hooves fades in the distance, and the night is about to fall, and countless birds return.

Chi Tianzong looked at her distant figure for a long time and closed his eyes.

I don't know what kind of danger lurks in the dangerous Feihe Gorge, waiting for this stubborn visitor.
