Jiang Chen followed and walked side by side with Su Yunqing.

The footsteps of the two did not slow down because of the parting, and they drifted away in silence, sinking behind a sand dune not far away under the eyes of Xining and others.

The moon is dimly red.

The soft breeze hovers low around the trouser legs, occasionally stirring the placket.

The sound of rustling footsteps echoed in my ears, as if there were only two people left in the world, feeling the warmth of each other's bodies.

Such a peaceful moment, no one can bear to break it.

The desert is vast, but the road for the two has an end.

Walking side by side for hundreds of steps, Su Yunqing took the lead in speaking: "If you can't get along one day, come to the Holy City, Ah Xi and I will not treat you badly." No matter how rampant Shi Futu is, he won't dare to mess around in the Holy City, at least he can save your life. ”

Jiang Chen showed a hint of a smile: "When the time comes, I won't be polite to you." ”

The corners of Su Yunqing's lips curled, silently looking at the desolate scenery in the distance.

The night breeze ruffled her hair and quietly stirred her mind.

The desolate desert, the dim red moonlight, the hazy mist that shrouded over the dunes, and the young man around her, combined into a lonely and tranquil picture, fell into her heart, this scene seems to be portrayed to the depths of the soul, even if it is not seen for thousands of miles in the future, it will be remembered in her heart.

"Ying Xuan's business...... Do you hate me? ”

"Nope."

"Really?"

"Not really."

Jiang Chen turned his head, and Su Yunqing also turned his head, two pairs of dark eyes, staring deeply at each other in the moonlight.

Maybe...... There should be an affectionate hug, and a warm kiss goodbye.

Su Yunqing quickly turned her head, squinted her eyes slightly, there was a little confusion in her starry eyes, she looked at the night sky from afar, and said with a light smile: "It's good if you don't have it." Well, I can forgive you for the excesses you have done to me. ”

The moonlight covered her delicate face with a layer of red, and her smile was magnificent, unprecedented and picturesque.

"I don't think it's ......," Jiang Chen stopped talking.

"Don't think about it." Su Yunqing smiled, but said in an unquestioning tone, "The only person in my life has long been doomed, and I will never betray her." ”

Jiang Chen was speechless.

After the moon is hidden and the clouds are hidden.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but raise his head, looking up at the color in the sky that was gradually turning from red to dark, and suddenly had an unprecedented impulse, and said loudly: "Maybe you're wrong!" ”

Su Yunqing turned her head to look at him.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and said, "The world is so big, there is always someone more suitable to protect her, that person may not be me, nor you!" ”

The smile on the corner of Su Yunqing's mouth was removed: "Really?" ”

"With a small existence like you and me, we are not qualified to peep into the so-called fate. What you think is destined may be just-" Jiang Chen suddenly shut up when he said this, because Su Yunqing stretched out a finger and made a silent gesture.

A shallow smile appeared on her face again: "I'm about to leave, don't mention these sad things." ”

With that, she leaned over and kissed Jiang Chen's lips like a dragonfly.

Jiang Chen's eyes widened in astonishment.

Su Yunqing took advantage of the fact that he couldn't react, and had already taken a few steps back, turned around and walked away.

"Kissing a man still seems a bit annoying, don't you think?"

Without waiting for Jiang Chen to speak, she waved her hand with her back to her, "Don't say it, let's reminisce slowly!" ”

Jiang Chen watched her walk into the distance in a daze, and couldn't help but say, "I'll give you another ride." ”

"Nope. Sending you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end. How about a more look, and a lesser look? ”

The wind rises in the barren hills. Like a long sigh.

"I'll be waiting for you in the Star Courtyard."

"Okay."

When the moonlight fell again, there was no longer Su Yunqing's figure in his eyes.

The wind blew on Jiang Chen's face, and the moonlight reflected in his eyes, and he was stunned.

The sand dunes at the other end, Du Shan was looking forward to it, and Ye Xingsoul was also waiting silently.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Seeing Jiang Chen's figure from a distance, Du Shan showed an expression of 'as expected, it was so fast', and he stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and shouted, "Lao Jiang, is Miss Su gone?" ”

"Gone."

In the eyes of the people, Jiang Chen moved closer without thinking.

Xining's pupils were like a cage of cold mist, and his gaze crossed Jiang Chen's shoulder and drifted into the distance, and his heart was as cold as water in an instant. When Jiang Chen's gaze swept over her face, she quickly lowered her head again and stood quietly into a delicate jade puppet.

"Miss Su is so uninteresting, she won't have a drink with us before leaving! Did she leave anything behind? ”

Of course, Su Yunqing didn't leave any words. Facing Du Shan's expectant eyes, Jiang Chen couldn't bear to tell him directly, and sighed slightly, and said, "Miss Su asked me to tell you to pay attention to moderation and take care of your body." ”

Du Shan laughed a little embarrassed twice, touched the back of his head, and whispered: "My old Du is very tough, there is absolutely no problem two or three times a day......

"Brother Ye." Jiang Chen looked at Ye Xingsoul, "Miss Su said, please take good care of Miss Yin and don't hurt her again." ”

Ye Xingsoul moved his lips, wanting to justify, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded his head lightly twice.

Jiang Chen's gaze turned to Xining, and Xining's gaze also rose at this time, and the two looked at each other.

"Xiao Ning ......"

"Xiao Ning is not what you should call." Xining interrupted lightly, "And ......"

With a straight face, she seemed to be going to say a few ugly words, but for some reason, she changed her mind again and said, "What did Sister Su say?" ”

In the face of such a cold face, if it were replaced by Jiang Chen on weekdays, he would definitely not have a good face to match. But at this moment, his heart was empty, but he couldn't even gather a little anger, and said with a wry smile: "Miss Su, please cherish yourself and cherish your body." ”

"Did she really say that?" There was something strange in Xining's eyes.

"Nature is true."

Xining snorted, his gaze moved to the side, and his face was cold.

Instead, the skeleton grinned, as if it wanted to speak. But it doesn't know how to express itself in human language.

At this time, the wind and sand are getting bigger, and there is no shelter on the barren hills, so people simply continue to walk forward, and after walking for fifty miles, when the night is white in the east, they come to the front of Wufeng Town.

The eastern part of the sand dunes has been reduced to ruins, the charred walls still bear traces of the previous war, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of sand and gravel from the collapsed masonry and the pits run over by the horses. Feet on it, "creaking" sound.

On top of this layer of gravel, there are several new rows of horseshoe prints.

Jiang Chen and his party walked into the ruins, and saw several high-headed horses in the distance, who were the master and servant of Liu Xuan's brothers and sisters.

"Brother Jiang, we met again so soon." Liu Xuan drove the horse slowly and greeted him from a distance, "What about Miss Su, is she leaving?" ”

"Miss Su has taken a step ahead." Jiang Chen thought of Su Yunqing's reminder, and was three points wary of Liu Xuan, and planned to leave after a few greetings, "Brother Liu is chasing and killing thieves so far?" ”

Liu Xuan smiled brightly: "That rabble has long been dispersed, and I came here just to wait for one person." Didn't Brother Jiang also come here to wait for someone? ”

"We're looking for someone." Jiang Chen glanced at Ye Xingsoul.

Liu Qian, who was behind Liu Xuan, interjected: "There are only dead ghosts here, no living people." ”

She was riding on a rouge horse, dressed in women's light armor, with a complex and beautiful military costume, and squinted at Jiang Chen condescendingly.

"Aren't you human?" Du Shan laughed and teased.

Liu Qian was angry, raised her eyebrows, flicked the whip with her slender hand, and with a "snap" in mid-air, she was about to hit Du Shan in the face.

Du Shan jumped back, not angry, and said hesitantly: "Miss Liu is so beautiful even when she is angry, my old Du likes you more and more!" ”

Others could also see that Liu Qian's whip was deliberately waved in the air, just to scare Du Shan, even if Du Shan didn't dodge, he couldn't throw it in his face. Although this is rude, she is not a person who knows how to measure.

Liu Xuan said: "There was a fire a while ago, the whole town was almost burned to the ground, and recently there was a group of sand thieves entrenched, but they have also fled, leaving only a ruin, I'm afraid I can't find anything useful." ”

Ye Xingsoul clenched the hilt of his sword and said, "There will always be some clues left." ”

He was in an urgent mood, so he said goodbye to Liu Xuan's master and servant in a few words, and walked into the ruins to rummage.

Jiang Chen and the others also stepped forward to help.

However, as for the truth of the Ye family's murder case, just trying to find out a little clue from Zhao Ying's words before his death is really like looking for a needle in a haystack.

As the only person who may know the inside story, Yin Mengbian kept silent. She was humiliated by a dwarf not long ago, and she was physically and mentally devastated, Ye Xingsoul saw her dazed appearance all day long, lest she make any mistakes, and couldn't bear to be too persecuted, thinking about waiting for her to recuperate for a while before making plans.

Du Shan witnessed the battle a month ago, and heard about the origin of the White Ghost Sorrow and the "Five Evils" of the Wind and Rain Building, and felt that there should be a lot of treasures left behind in the war, so he worked hard and did not avoid dirty and messy work.

His actions also made Ye Xingsoul change a lot, and the two did not go toe-to-toe like in the past.

The day is moving in the middle of the day, and the temperature is getting higher and higher.

Du Shan came out of the black ruins, wiped his sweat, and was about to rest for a while, when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of several black dot-like figures on the eastern horizon, stretched out his hand, and called: "Lao Jiang, there are people over there!" ”

Jiang Chen was one step ahead of Du Shan to detect the approach of the strange aura.

He put his hand on the pergola, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, only to see a group of people coming up from the east sand dune, and in the scorching sun, he saw only black outlines, judging from the way he walked in his clothes, it seemed that several women were leading a camel, and the direction was not towards this, but towards the north.

"Probably a passing merchant." Jiang Chen replied, not caring.

But at this time, I heard Liu Xuan not far away shouting: "I'm going, don't come here and get in the way!" ”

Liu Xuan rode away from Liu Qian and Hu Servant one by one, and galloped straight towards the pedestrian on the sand dune.

Jiang Chen secretly thought: 'Liu Xuan and the others are them?' Seeing that he is so eager, could it be that there is a woman he likes among them? ’

He saw Liu Xuan deliberately slowing down his horse when he approached the sand dunes, probably because he was afraid of the sudden beauty. This move made Jiang Chen even more sure of his guess.

Du Shan said: "This son of the Liu family is also in a hurry!" Haha, like me! ”

Liu Xuan is majestic and majestic, gentle and polite, gets along with people like a humble gentleman, and has a city government, he is a rare handsome and heroic, and he doesn't want to be so gaffe for a woman.

Everyone laughed, and Jiang Chen laughed too.

Liu Qian watched Liu Xuan leave, saw his back down the sand dunes, turned around angrily, and saw the smile on Jiang Chen's face, and suddenly burst into flames: "You dare to laugh at my eldest brother?" ”

She has admired her brother since she was a child, but she disagrees with his love for Zhou Lingyu, thinking that he is "smart and confused for a while", so she cares about other people's opinions. Seeing that Jiang Chen seemed to be sneering, he couldn't help but be angry.

Jiang Chen said: "The girl misunderstood, I admire Brother Liu for being open-minded, a man of temperament, daring to love and hate, and worthy of being a manly husband." ”

"Hmph." Liu Qian's face softened a little.

Although she didn't like Jiang Chen, she felt happier than praising herself when she heard him praise her brother, and she didn't seem to be as annoying as she used to be.

But when she thought that Liu Xuan was "bewitched" by Zhou Lingyu, she felt unbearable anger.

What's so good about Zhou Lingyu, on the surface, he is a cold white lotus, but in fact he is a fox, coaxing his brother just to go against the Futu Sect! The eldest brother is too, but the dignified sister-in-law of the Liu family ignores the overall situation, knowing that Brother Liuying is friendly with the Futu Sect......

The handsome and gentle face of the lover Wei Liuying appeared in front of her, and the face of the young lady of the Liu family was slightly flushed, and she unconsciously lowered her head.

She rarely showed a delicate state, and she became more and more beautiful, falling into the eyes of Du Shan, who was peeping from afar, only to feel that her heart was like a deer, and she said repeatedly: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die!" Little sister ......"

"I see." The cuckoo replied.

Du Shan said, "What do you know?" ”

"You've met the only person in your life again!"

“……”

Rotten Keshan.

The sun is sinking in the west, and the setting sun is over.

Surrounded by mountains, only the dark blue outline remains.

The desolate twilight shrouded the temple, and the mottled walls fell into the shadow of the mountain wall, as if they were one with the entire Ranke Mountain.

As the dusk drum beats, the tired birds return to their nests, and the mountains and forests become quiet.

The sparse candle flame lit up in the ancient temple could not dispel the boundless darkness that surrounded it from all directions.

This is the fifth day of the Black Sword Saint's siege of Kongming Temple.

The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who followed the Black Sword Saint had all disappeared into the mountains and forests, and the smoke and dust that had risen into the sky a few days ago seemed to have long since disappeared.

The monks in the temple looked out through the wall, and vaguely saw a few figures patrolling back and forth behind the forest, and they were no longer the evil spirit when they first came. Despite this, no one dared to go out and take a step over the steps.

At the bottom of the stairs is a white line of lime that runs left and right into the mountain forest, forming a circle through the mountain path, trapping the old temple inside.

The Black Sword Saint ordered: If the monk crosses this line, there will be no forgiveness for killing!

After five days of mountain breezes, the white line is no longer clear, and large and small gaps appear. But the dried purple-brown blood stains in front of the white line still shocked the courage of the monks.

This is to draw the ground as a prison, so that the pure and holy land is stained with blood. Kongming Temple suffered this great humiliation, but the monks in the temple were silent.

Rotten Ke Mountain was originally deserted, and now it is even more isolated from the world.

Seeing that the food in the temple was decreasing day by day, the three hundred monks sat with sorrowful eyebrows, and the abbot did not say a word, and could not think of any way to deal with it.

It's not that Kongming Temple didn't want to resist.

There are four eminent monks in the temple: Pure Dust, Dead Leaves, Mengsheng, and the Foot Monk Kulian who is here, all of whom are profound "Great Awakening" masters.

The four masters are famous all over the world, intimidating Xiaoxiao, Master Jingchen has been summoned by the Holy Son of Heaven many times, and has twice taken the stage to give lectures, according to legend, his cultivation is no longer under the high monk Yun Zhong a hundred years ago, and it is better than the Black Sword Saint.

However, the timing of the Black Sword Saint's arrival was quite unfortunate, Master Jingchen was summoned to the Holy City by the emperor at this time, the Master of Withered Leaves was wandering outside, and the monk Kulian claimed to have comprehended the Mahayana Zen principles before the month, and asked for a quiet room. Only Mengsheng was left alone, he was a fiery temper, and he went out of the temple to find the Black Sword Saint to reason, and before he stepped out of the lime white line, he didn't even see the face of the Black Sword Saint, he was struck by the Duke of Doom with a palm, and he took more than ten steps back, and collapsed the incense burner at the door.

At this time, the three generations of disciples who had high hopes in the younger generation, the "Crazy Demon Crazy Knife", had no way, and they were clamoring to take off their robes and join the WTO to get married, which was really eventful.

Everyone in the temple is in danger, although they eat and sing Buddha's praises as usual, I don't know how many pious thoughts.

In a few days, the rice jar will probably be empty. At that time, the monk who didn't know how hungry he could not sit still.
