Chapter 270: Taihao and Zhizhi meet again

When Taihao's footsteps passed through the iron shoes of the ancient tower, he was greeted by a quiet silence like a world away. He followed the steep staircase, knocking step by step, and finally reached the sixth floor at the top of the tower. He suddenly felt an ancient and mysterious aura rushing to his face, full of traces of time and the precipitation of history.

Taihao looked up and saw four words inscribed on the plaque on this layer, "Sincerity". The handwriting is simple, and the iron painting is a silver hook, like a silent ancient, telling the story of Taihao for a long time. He looked at the place where the payment was made, and there were only two ancient Chinese characters, "Yuan Shi".

These two words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly piercing Taihao's heart. He exclaimed, "It turns out that my master has also been here!" His heart was turbulent, and his excitement was indescribable.

Finally, he stepped onto the seventh floor of the ancient tower. A surging blood surged in Taihao's heart, which was the determination and eagerness to get close to the goal. He Zhizhi, the woman he had in mind, was already close at hand. His steps were brisk, every step was full of strength, and the moment he stepped into the seventh layer, it was as if he had stepped over thousands of mountains and rivers, and Coriander was already in front of him.

However, this level was not as brightly lit as day as he expected. Darkness is like a giant throat eater, swallowing all the light in one gulp. Tai Hao's steps became heavy in the darkness, and his heart was filled with the safety of Coriander and his own confusion.

He anxiously shouted, "Coriander Zhi, are you here?" The voice echoed through the dark air, but there was nowhere to find a response. He groped his way forward, trying to find her presence in the darkness. "Where are you?" His voice began to tremble, "Tell me where you are?" ”

His hands waved in the darkness, as if to catch a clue in the air. The exploration of every inch of space is like searching for pearls in the gravel, difficult and detailed. He was lost in the darkness, but his heart was always directed to the woman he was looking for.

"Coriander!" His voice echoed through the corridors of the ancient tower, crashing against the icy stone walls, then disappearing into the endless darkness. He stood there, listening to his heartbeat echoing through the empty seventh floor, his only guide, his only hope.

In a deep little corner, there was a faint breath of a woman. Her voice was like a leaf about to wither in autumn, fragile and powerless, and she asked softly, "Here I am, who are you?" ”

Tai Hao, the man who had disappeared in her world, but suddenly returned, his voice was gentle and concerning: "I'm Tai Hao, do you remember me?" It's so dark here, I can't see anything, where are you? ”

Qian Zhi's voice carried a hint of surprise and endless longing: "Brother Taihao, I haven't seen you for a long time, why did you come here?" ”

Taihao's tone revealed deep worry and searching: "I came specifically to find you, where are you, why don't you come out, I can't see you." ”

Qian Zhi's voice was filled with helplessness and regret: "This floor has never been lit at night, and I can't get out now." ”

Hearing this, Tai Hao said, "You wait a minute. He hurried to his feet and ran to the heights. The moment he stepped onto the sixth floor, he saw at a glance the lit candle, which was like a bright beacon that illuminated his path in the darkness. Tai Hao held the candle and carefully brought it back to the seventh floor.

When the candlelight illuminated the seventh floor, the scene in front of him made Taihao feel stunned. He saw Coriander Zhi, the woman he had always cared about, locked in an iron cage in the corner. Her eyes were full of helplessness and fear, which made Taihao's heart feel a pang. He hurriedly walked to the iron cage, put the candle on the ground, and asked loudly, "Coriander Zhi, what's going on?" Why are you locked up here? ”

Qian Zhi's eyes showed joy, and she said softly: "Brother Taihao, it's really you, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you haven't changed." She took a step forward, but was pulled back by the chain, only to hear a loud thud, and the chain sparked against the stone wall.

Tai Hao observed Coriander Zhi's cell, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. He said in a deep voice: "Coriander Zhi, tell me what's going on?" ”

Qian Zhi smiled bitterly: "This matter is a long story, Brother Taihao, how did you find here?" ”

Tai Hao said: "I went to Wuqu City and met your uncle Da Yuxian, who told me that you are in Liuding Mountain, and you have not been in contact with your family for three years. I came to look for you, but I didn't expect to find it. ”

Coriander was just about to open her cherry lips, but before she could make a sound, she was interrupted by a rush of footsteps. The Lord of Zhu Ying Pavilion rushed over like a lightning speed, and his calm and powerful voice immediately filled the air: "Taihao Shaoxia, you have seen Coriander now, can you leave?" ”

Tai Hao's eyes looked at Zhu Ying, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a solemn tone: "Lord Zhu Ying, why is Qian Zhi imprisoned here?" ”

Zhu Ying Pavilion Lord's deep gaze met Tai Hao, and the wrinkles on his face were engraved with traces of time, as if telling a story from time to time. He said in a deep voice: "Coriander is very good now, and the old man persuades Taihao Shaoxia not to interfere in the affairs of our Phoenix Pavilion." ”

After hearing Zhu Ying's voice, Qian Zhi kept her head down, and her face was full of gloomy clouds, which made people feel pity. She said softly, "Brother Taihao, I'm ...... I'm fine now, you can get out of here! Although her voice was faint, it clearly reached Taihao's ears.

Taihao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pondered the words and deeds of Coriander in his heart. He is not a fool, he can see the unspeakable expression on Qian Zhi's face. Coriander must have a bitterness that she can't say directly, and she is not willing to tell Taihao about it.

Tai Hao looked at Coriander Zhi, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He couldn't watch her get into trouble, but it wouldn't be easy to get her out of here. His gaze moved to the plaque hanging above his head, and he read the four words in a deep voice: "Martial arts are endless."

These four words set off a little wave in his heart. He knows the meaning of this sentence in martial arts: the road of martial arts is endless, and only by constantly pursuing and surpassing can we reach the pinnacle of martial arts. However, the name of the check-in office was unfamiliar to him - Chan Yin. He had never heard of this name, which hero on the rivers and lakes was this?

Tai Hao didn't have the heart to appreciate the flowing calligraphy, his mind was all about how to rescue Coriander Zhi, the woman imprisoned in this endless darkness. His fists were clenched, his fingertips embedded in the flesh, and it was the anxiety and helplessness in his heart. Why Zhi Zhi was locked up here, he had no way of knowing.

His gaze wandered around the room, looking for a glimmer of escape. However, Zhu Ying's figure is like a mountain, calm and unshakable. He knew that if he did it rashly, he might not be able to outdo her. This is not a comparison of strengths, but a grasp of the overall situation and the use of strategy.

Taihao's heart was like being burned by flames, and the anxiety and helplessness almost suffocated him. He paced back and forth in the room, the sound of footsteps echoing through the silent air, each beating like a drum beating on his heart.

He looked at Zhu Ying again, and his eyes were as calm as water and unfathomable, which made him fearful. He knew that they would not be able to escape this precarious situation without finding a foolproof solution. He needed to calm down, he needed to find a breakthrough, but the problems that were bothering him were like shadows in the darkness, and he felt like he couldn't move forward.

Tai Hao took a deep breath and tried to calm the chaos in his heart. He told himself that he couldn't just give up, that he had to find a solution. Only in this way will he be able to take Coriander out of this place, from this place that makes him feel hopeless.

Zhu Ying spit out the words softly: "Taihao Shaoxia, do you want the old body to send you out in person?" Her tone was full of majesty, like the frost of winter, which made Taihao irresistible.

Taihao can only lower his head first now, hiding his helplessness and worries in the bottom of his heart. He glanced back at Coriander, his eyes full of affection and reluctance. He said softly: "Coriander Zhi, then I'll leave first, you wait here for me to come back." ”

Coriander Zhi's eyes were instantly infiltrated by reluctant emotions, like twinkling stars in the night sky, silently flowing with the bitterness of parting.

Tai Hao turned around and arched his hand at the Lord of the Pavilion of Zhu Ying, his tone was full of earnestness and expectation: "Lord of the Pavilion of Zhu Ying, please take care of Zhizhi." There was a firmness in his gaze, which was his deep love and commitment to Coriander.

Lord Zhu Ying nodded and didn't say a word. Her silence was like acquiescence, but also like deep thought. At this moment, her expression made it impossible for Taihao to get a glimpse of her inner thoughts.

Tai Hao walked down the ancient tower quickly, and the evening breeze gently swept through his clothes, bringing a slight coolness. He glanced at the solemn tower, and then looked up at Qiu Yue standing in front of him.

Qiu Yue, this elegant woman like a chrysanthemum, is still standing at the foot of the tower waiting, her eyes are like autumn water, glowing with bright luster. Her elegant clothes were gently stirred by the wind, like a soft plucked string, with a melodious melody.

"Taihao Shaoxia, on the orders of the master, I will send you to the bottom of the mountain." Qiu Yue's tone was flat and sincere, like a clear mountain spring, shining warmly in the sun.

Tai Hao turned around slowly, and his gaze fell to the seventh layer of the ancient tower again. There, Zhu Ying's figure loomed, he imagined their situation at the moment, what would Zhu Ying say to Cilantrophie? He didn't know.

Retracting his complicated thoughts, Taihao looked at Qiu Yue again, and at that moment, their eyes were intertwined in the air, as if they were brilliant. Taihao bowed his hand slightly and thanked Qiu Yue, "Thank you, Miss Qiu Yue!" His voice was filled with deep respect and gratitude.

While walking, Tai Hao asked Qiu Yue, "Miss Qiu Yue, can you tell me why Qian Zhi is being imprisoned on this ancient tower?" ”

Qiu Yue didn't speak, just walked with her head down. She took small steps and followed behind Taihao, like a quiet little white rabbit. Her silence made Tai Hao even more confused, and he couldn't help but feel a strong urge to pry her mouth open and get more information.

didn't go too far, Tai Hao asked again: "Did she offend the Lord of Zhuying Pavilion?" Or did you commit something? His tone was slightly eager, revealing his inner uneasiness.

Qiu Yue sighed and said, "Taihao Shaoxia, don't ask, I don't know anything, even if I do...... My master won't let us say it. Her voice was soft, but firm. She obviously didn't want to give more information.

Taihao's helplessness permeated every bone marrow, and he walked to the foot of the mountain and found his horse, as if he was looking for a way out in silence. He turned to Qiu Yue with determination and expectation in his eyes, as if he was looking for an answer in this cold confrontation.

"Miss Qiuyue, are you really unwilling to tell me about coriander?" His voice was filled with deep helplessness and regret.

Qiu Yue seemed to be overwhelmed by these words, she swallowed, hesitating how to speak.

"Taihao Shaoxia...... Sister Coriander Zhi, she ...... "Her words were like a suppressed string, just about to pluck, but suddenly closed her mouth." Her eyes became flustered in an instant, and she hurriedly shook her head and said, "I can't say it, Master won't let us say it." Her voice was full of helplessness and fear, like a bird bound in chains, unable to fly freely.

Tai Hao's eyes became cold and hard at this moment, and his words were like cold swords, pointing directly at Qiu Yue's heart.

"In that case, Miss Qiuyue, you're welcome." His tone was full of determination and firmness, as if he was declaring his determination to break the chains of silence and find the truth about Coriander.

I saw that Tai Hao was full of strength, and he performed the first trick of "Idle Cat Listening to the Sea", "turning over the river and turning the sea", and his fingers went to Qiu Yue like a dragon. Qiu Yue's whole body trembled immediately, as if she had been hit by an invisible wave, unable to move. Taihao's sturdy figure immediately jumped, put Qiu Yue firmly on the horse's back, and he also jumped up, waved his horse away, and left the boundary of Liuding Mountain.
