Jiang Ye followed those demon powers, and on the steps of the north of Nanyi City, he saw the little demon boy from Lingnan.

The little demon was dressed in warm orange clothes, sitting in the snowy night in the north of the city, but he looked very cold.

At his lap lay a sword, on which lay a bloody letter, still unopened.

"Where's the rat?"

Jiang Ye walked over, walked up the snow steps, stopped in front of the little demon boy and asked.

"I was in the city, and I found a corner and buried her under a tree."

Tanuki raised his head and looked at this Sword Sect disciple who came with a sword for a long time, and then said softly.

Jiang Ye was silent for a moment and said, "I thought you would keep her." ”

Tanuki looked up at the dark sky above the lights floating in the snowy night, and said softly, "I can't keep it, she has already gone to the River Styx, how can she keep it?" ”

Jiang Ye looked at him for a long time, sat down on the side, and said, "What's your name?" ”

"Tanuki, tanuki's tanuki, hat's hat."

Jiang Ye subconsciously imagined a cat with a hat.

It's a pity that the boy didn't bring a hat.

He looked at the letter on the young man's sword.

"Is this a letter from the rat?"

"Hmm."

"Did you see it?"

"Nope." Tanuka whispered, "I didn't see it. ”

The sparsely lit snow steps fell silent again.

"I'll probably see it later." Tanuki said to herself, "Maybe it's a long time later, when I no longer remember the little demon who happened to walk by in Lingnan." When I grow old and start to look back on the regrets of my life. I would have taken it out, sat quietly by the fire, licked my paws, and then clumsily and slowly opened the letter, which had been deposited for many years, to see what had been written in the second letter she had given me many years earlier. ”

Tears began to flow in front of the boy.

It was clear that there was snow underneath him.

But the sound of those tears piercing the snow was louder than anything else.

Jiang Ye turned his head and looked up at the sky.

Then he heard the young man's clothes rubbing against him, as if he had raised his hand, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Listen to them, the person who killed her is called Hu Lu, and he is a disciple of your Human Sword Sect."

Jiang Ye said softly, "Yes." ”

"I actually thought about it at the time, and I went to your Sword Sect with a sword to ask for a result and justice."

Jiang Ye turned his head and looked at the little demon called Tanuka quietly.

"Why didn't you come?"

Tanuki said softly, "This is a pointless thing, I can't beat anyone in your Sword Sect, even if it's just that young man." ”

As the little tanuki said this, a sword was drawn and thrown in front of him.

"Hu Lu is my junior brother, he has done something wrong, as a senior brother, it is naturally impossible to ignore it."

Tanuka didn't pick up the sword, but said slowly, "I don't want to do that." It's like when I guessed that there might be some secret hidden in this letter after I learned that she was killed by the people of your Sword Sect, but I still didn't read it. ”

"I have a sword myself, even if it's just a Lingnan sword." Tanuki raised his head and looked at the Sword Sect garden in the distance.

The position at the head of the city is very high, even if you just sit on the stone steps up, you can still see the Sword Sect garden lying quietly in the middle of the city.

Of course, Jiang Ye knew what he meant, so he said very calmly: "Hu Lu is my junior brother. ”

Tanuka turned to look at the man.

"He will also be the future sect master of the Sword Sect. If you have a grudge in your heart, I can let you vent it now, but if you want to say something, you will seek revenge later. Jiang Ye said calmly, "I'm sorry, I won't allow it." You can say this to many people in the world, but I am his brother. ”

The Human Sword Sect not only has the word human world, but also has the word Sword Sect.

This place, which inherited the sword path of the Sword Cliff back then, may understand the truth of the word Sword Sect better than anyone else.

The stone steps are covered with snow, and it looks like a pale story.

Tanuki looked at the senior brother of the Sword Sect in front of him silently.

"If I had to do this, would you kill me?"

Jiang Ye heard the words squeezed out of the long silence, but he was also silent.

"I don't know, there are some things I can't tell you, but Hu Lu chose to do that, naturally for his reasons." Jiang Ye remembered what the prime minister said at the beginning. "There are some things that we cannot look at right and wrong through life and death, but the truth ......"

Tanuka whispered, "Yes, she has only lost her life, and you have to carry the painful truth, is that what you think?" ”

There is irony in this sentence.

Jiang Ye was silent for a while, and said slowly: "It's just that you can't understand something. ”

Tanuki took the letter in her bosom, put her sword behind her back, and walked down the castle.

"I'm just a little Lingnan demon cultivator. I'm sorry I can't have the ability to look higher and farther like this. ”

Jiang Ye sat there and quietly watched the little civet cat leave Nanyi City.

The green vegetable sword did not leave, just lay quietly in the snow.

"I thought you were going to do it."

Mei Quming's voice came from the long street near the Sword Sect, and this senior brother who had robbed business with rats and rats on the Nanyi River was very melancholy stepping on the snow and lights, and came towards Jiang Ye's side.

Jiang Ye said softly: "I also thought that I would really do it. But after all, the Sword Sect will use the sword to reason when it is necessary to be reasonable, and we are not ignorant teenagers, so naturally we will not do such a thing. ”

Jiang Ye picked up his sword, walked down the city, and stopped on the long street with Mei Quming.

Quietly looking at the snow outside the north of the city.

"Liu March was killed by Senior Brother Huaifeng."

"I know."

Mei Quming turned his head, looked at Jiang Ye and said, "How do you know?" ”

Jiang Ye said softly: "I forgot, but I remember that when the prime minister told me about it, I wasn't surprised." ”

Mei Quming was silent for a long time, probably thinking about whether he should also know about this.

But probably he really didn't know.

"So in the end, this story, maybe from the beginning, was done wrong by the Sword Sect's side." Mei Quming said slowly.

"It's come to this, it's right or wrong, it doesn't matter anymore." Jiang Ye said softly, "How not to let the world know is the most important thing." ”

"Didn't you read the letter from the rat to that little demon?"

Jiang Ye said slowly: "She won't write about this, the time that the rat has been in Nanyi City has been longer than you and me, she is a small person in the world, so naturally she will not watch the world become that kind of situation." ”

The two of them stood on that long street for a long time.

After a long time, he began to turn around and head in the direction of the Sword Sect.

"Senior Brother Huaifeng went to Lingnan today, but he didn't even say a word to us."

Mei Quming said with a sigh.

Jiang Ye said softly: "Probably he is really ready to pay the price for Liu March's death." ”

Everything is taken for granted, of course.

It's just that no one thought that the teenager who was entangled in these things would do such a thing.

Mei Quming thought with some sighs.

"Does Senior Brother believe in fate?"

Jiang Ye didn't speak, probably thinking about the beginning of the story, the little demon mouse that stole from Bu Operator, and the things that Bu Operator said.

"I don't know." Jiang Ye said slowly.

Maybe fate is the words of the divination operator.

If you don't have that sentence, you have a penny less, you have a catastrophe, and the story may not go this way.

The rat will still walk happily in the world, doing those things that can't help but steal.

Then I took my makeup by the stream and went to Lingnan to find the boy to watch the sunset and the moonlight.

Nanyi City will have one less demon who has been ferrying for many years, and there will be one more happy rat in the world.

But the story doesn't go that way.

What did Bu Operator see back then?

Nobody knows.

The two of them walked all the way down the long street to the alley.

The old man who sells sugar and oil baba has not been here for a long time.

Probably before that snow.

Maybe it's a different place, maybe it's old and dead.

Nobody knows.

Mei Quming stood at the mouth of the alley, looked at it for a long time, and then looked at Jiang Ye and said, "If the people of Qingtian Dao appear in Lingnan and have nothing to do with rats and rats, then who asked them to come?" ”

Jiang Ye just shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

......

When Chen Huaifeng passed through those sword intent barriers in the night and stepped into the snow of Lingnan Mountain, Gu Shanhong waited there quietly.

The two saw each other, but they each bowed.

"Senior brother."

"Senpai."

Gu Shanhong heard that senior sentence and said, "Senior Brother Chen's senior sentence made me feel a little frightened. ”

Chen Huaifeng smiled slightly and said softly: "Although the Lingnan Sword calls itself a small sword, it is the greatest sword in the world, and it is naturally worthy of this senior. ”

Gu Shanhong just shook his head and walked forward with a smile.

The reason why this sect master of the Lingnan Amazing Sword Sect appeared here was naturally because Chen Huaifeng came to the Lingnan Sword Sect for the first time.

As Chen Huaifeng, who has been practicing in the Sword Sect Garden since he was a child, after Jiancheng, he only played cards and drank tea in the world, and there were actually only a handful of places he had visited.

Even if you break through the Nine Realms later, enter the Great Road, and see farther in the world, you haven't been to any other place.

Probably for him, the best landscape in the world is the wolfberry landscape in the cup.

The two of them walked with swords on the mountain forest and snow road.

The snow had stopped for a day, and the snow was falling in a torrent, and there was some moonlight in the forest.

It's a pity that neither of them has the heart to look at those things.

"Qingtian Dao Meixi rain, senior brother should know."

Gu Shanhong looked at Chen Huaifeng walking quietly on the side, and said slowly.

Chen Huaifeng nodded and said calmly: "He is about the same age as me, and he is of the same generation. ”

Gu Shanhong listened to this sentence of the same generation, and also looked at Chen Huaifeng, who was always called an old man, but in fact he was only thirty-two, but he was a little emotional, and said softly: "Probably only those with similar talents can be called the same generation, otherwise it is inevitable that like us, we will end up in the end of our cultivation all our lives, and we will become junior and younger generations." ”

Chen Huaifeng laughed softly and said, "The seniors can actually go to the Hanging Xue Academy to teach kendo, and if they enter the hospital, they will naturally only be gentlemen." ”

Gu Shanhong sighed and said, "Lingnan Little Sword, don't mislead people's children." ”

"Lingnan was just born at the wrong time." Chen Huaifeng said.

"What does it mean to be born at the right time?"

Chen Huaifeng thought for a while and said: "For example, he Meixi Yu came to Lingnan, but it happened that I, Chen Huaifeng, also entered the avenue, and then simply smelled the wind and went up the mountain, which is called being born at the right time." ”

When Gu Shanhong heard the end, he knew that Chen Huaifeng was still thinking about the Qingtian Dao people.

"So what happened in March?"

Of course, Gu Shanhong didn't listen to the rumors, even if he heard the conversation by the river bridge, he didn't know the origin of many things.

Chen Huaifeng was silent for a while, and said calmly: "It's just some personal grudges. ”

Gu Shanhong said softly: "If it's just a personal grudge, it shouldn't be like this." ”

"Of course, it's a personal grudge, but such a personal grudge probably can't be heard of by the world." Chen Huaifeng said softly.

"What if the world heard?"

"There are probably some things that are difficult to end well."

Gu Shanhong turned his head, looked at the moonlight of the mountains and forests, and said softly: "In this way, then I still don't want to know." ”

Chen Huaifeng didn't say anything, and followed Gu Shanhong towards the depths of Lingnan.

Lingnan already lacked a lot of sword cultivation, and at night after such a heavy snowfall, it was naturally even quieter.

The mountains are filled with only the sound of some snow falling on the branches, and the trivial sound of some wild animals running in the forest.

The two of them stepped on the snow and walked with their own thoughts.

After a long time, Gu Shanhong said softly: "Not only is Senior Brother in some trouble, but Lingnan is also in some trouble. Originally, Senior Brother Feng Yin planned to go to the Sword Sect on a later date, but since Senior Brother was here, it happened to save this trip. ”

Chen Huaifeng looked at Gu Shanhong on the side, then looked up at the sword intent on the mountain, and said softly: "The matter of sealing the mountain? ”

"Yes." Gu Shanhong said softly: "This matter should also have something to do with Senior Brother Zhang. ”

Chen Huaifeng stopped, looked at Gu Shanhong and said, "What does it matter?" ”

"The relationship between the Human Sword Sect."

Chen Huaifeng was silent for a while, and said, "The matter of the demon clan? ”

"Yes." Gu Shanhong looked into the depths of Lingnan and said softly, "Just yesterday afternoon, the Lingnan Lame Deer Sword Sect was completely killed. It is a place of demon cultivation, although Lingnan not only has demon cultivation there, but after all, that place is the place where the demon lord died, once the news comes out, what will happen to the world, we don't know. ”

Chen Huaifeng's gaze followed Gu Shanhong's gaze and also fell into the depths of Lingnan.

Although he had never been to this ancient and loose place where the Sword Sect gathered, he also knew about the existence of such a Sword Sect.

Back then, the Ten Thousand Demons crossed the border, crossed Nanyi City, and also crossed the Fengqi Ridge to the north.

And the demon lord died in the mountains.

Later, in order to commemorate the lame elk who had been breathing for a long time on the Youhuang Mountain Range with the demon clan, the demon clan established such a sword sect there.

There is naturally more than one such sword sect, it is the yellow sorghum where the way of witches and ghosts prevails, in the extreme south of the Youhuang Mountain Range, the place known as the ancestral land of the demon clan, there is also such a place of cultivation, but it is not a place of sword cultivation, but a pure place of demon cultivation.

Chen Huaifeng looked at it in silence for a long time, and then said softly, "What do you think?" ”

Gu Shanhong said slowly: "Someone wants to use Senior Brother Zhang's going up the mountain to provoke a storm in the world. ”

Chen Huaifeng said softly: "That's true, the identity of the junior disciple of the Human Sword Sect is too sensitive in such a matter. ”

Gu Shanhong continued: "If I want to solve this problem, after discussing it with Senior Brother Feng Yin, I only got two solutions. Find the person who did it, or ......"

"Find Kamigawa and my master." Of course, Chen Huaifeng can also see that this is the simplest and most useful solution on the bright side.

But the problem is that no one in the world knows where Kamigawa has gone.

Although Cong Blade also had news, the last trace was only 490,000 miles outside the East China Sea, and then he was also missing.

Whether it is Kamigawa or Cong Blade, these two great demon sword cultivators in the world, as long as they can appear in the field of vision of the world, all public opinion about the theory of demons will be calmed down.

These are two people who laid the current pattern of the world with their own hands a thousand years ago.

Or there is a third one.

The two looked together in the direction of the East China Sea.

There is also a big demon sword cultivator on the sword cliff.

Translucent.

However, the Grinding Sword Cliff has been silent for thousands of years, and it has long been out of the world, so it is naturally impossible for Qiushui to come forward to see such a thing.

As for Chen Yunxi.

Although it is also rumored in the world that he had turned into a demon before Cong Blade.

But after all, for the world, the reputation of the Liuyun Sword Sect is not very good, not to mention, this is a person who has spanned a longer history, and even many major repairs in the world have never seen the appearance of this person.

It doesn't necessarily help with such a thing.

Chen Huaifeng stood in the mountains and snow for a long time, and then said softly: "I can probably guess who is behind this matter." ”

Gu Shanhong also heard some rumors from listening to the wind yin, and said softly: "But the problem is that we don't know who those people are. ”

"Lingnan doesn't have any clues?"

"We didn't expect such a thing to happen, even if we decided to close the mountain, it was just to block the flow of news, not to really be able to find those clues."

Chen Huaifeng said softly: "The news can't be hidden. ”

Gu Shanhong was silent for a while, and said: "People who provoke the wind and rain will naturally spread the sound of wind and rain to the world, so before those wind and rain blow to the world, Lingnan must blow the wind and snow out faster, even if it is just some fake wind and snow." ”

If Chen Huaifeng was not a member of the Sword Sect in the world, then he could naturally bear this matter, just like Zhang Xiaoyu destroyed his reputation and poured sewage on the mountains and rivers.

But this matter, the people of the Sword Sect in the world can't get involved.

Even looking at it from a distance can be a source of suspicion.

Chen Huaifeng stood there and thought for a long time, and then said softly, "Qingtian Dao may be able to intervene and come in." ”

Gu Shanhong turned his head and looked at Chen Huaifeng in a daze.

Before the truth comes out, it is a lie that needs to be patched up after all.
