"But without me, would you be able to win the championship?" Pei Ye watched Yang Yan put away the jade pendant and said with a smile.

"Or not." Yang Yan frowned and raised his head, "Who else?" That local six-student surnamed Shang? ”

"Anyway, I don't need this sword." Pei Li said, "Let's see if you can win the championship then." ”

"Oh, thank you for letting me."

"It doesn't have to be completely let." Pei Ye smiled, he lowered his head and looked at a medicine bottle taken out of the cloth bag.

The small bottle of porcelain, the size of the palm of the hand, Pei Li was not the first time he had seen it, and that night in the inn, it had been given to the deceased by the murderer, and later taken away.

Pei Li pulled the cork, a brown pill lay quietly in it, poured out, this pill is the size of a finger, smaller than ginseng, although it is all brown, but its appearance is as smooth as jade fat, it is natural, where the moonlight is reflected, you can occasionally see the golden wisps flashing.

One side of it is engraved with a dense row of small characters, saying: Running to the stars but the moon, five turns through the ladder to climb the ladder; Quanzhen Creation Palace, the one hundred and twenty-third furnace of the twelve tripods of the C room.

"This. Is it true? Pei Ye held it and frowned slightly.

Yang Yan took over: "Ascend the Rank Dan. It seems to be true. ”

After the old man finished killing Jiang Hong and took it back, it may indeed prove the value of this Dan. When the seventh life enters the eighth, although this pill can't provide much help, it is not completely useless after all, and the old man's plan to keep it may be here.

The shadow in the belly said: "Keep it first, the friend in the green skirt has gone back, you can show it to her." ”

"Okay." Pei Li took it back and looked at it twice, and put it into the porcelain bottle.

Looking through it again, there were only some broken silver sundries left, and Pei Ye put them back into the cloth bag and put them away for inspection.

Fastening his bag and looking up, there were already some figures standing on the edge of the martial arts field, obviously startled by the fight and flames just now, there were students and masters.

"But. . . Brother Pei? The people, dressed in coats and mostly holding swords, walked towards this side and shouted from afar, "I just heard the fight, but Brother Pei was attacked?" ”

"Yes." Pei Ye sat cross-legged on the ground, this one really made him a little tired just now, and he glanced up, "It's the seven-life villain who committed the crime in the county before." ”

"Ah?!! Go shout to the leader! ”

"The head of the sect goes home every night to live, and someone has already gone to announce it." The other said in a deep voice, "Isn't Elder Qijiao living here? Go and invite this senior! ”

"That's right! Go and ask the seniors! Our predecessors are going to give us a lecture tomorrow, and we live here today! This inspiration suddenly caused a burst of echoes, and he was already enthusiastically running to the small building behind.

"No need." Pei Ye shouted out to the pavilion disciple who ran back.

The crowd looked back at him.

Pei Ye poked the intact face of the corpse under his feet with the scabbard and pushed it in front of everyone: "This elder is already here." ”

——

The sky was bright.

On the lakeside, Li Yiqing was the only one who could still support her, she did a simple bandage for Qinghuang, collected her uncle's body, and then drove out of the prepared carriage and carried the two up.

Sitting on the board, Li Yiqing reached out and took Lu Yunsheng and led the man up - when Lu Yunsheng got into the car, Lu Yunsheng glanced at her, the girl's face was still pale, and her whole face looked dull and silent.

Li Yiqing actually knew that she had to get back up, and there were too many heavy consequences for her to bear later, but at least for now, her brain was still floating and chaotic.

It was better to even let the girl watch the old man flee than now, and now she had gathered all her strength to finally win a tragic victory, but she was told that it was a bubble, and the girl's emotions had been completely exhausted.

She drove the carriage mechanically, her brain didn't think about where to go, only subconsciously went back to the martial arts hall.

Lu Yunsheng sat behind the girl leaning against the car door, his lips were also white, and the wounds on his heart and abdomen made him very weak.

His injuries are not so much "serious" as "dangerous", the wound in the heart is not too big, under the effect of the medicine, he can recover most of his mobility in half a month, but before the initial healing, every violent action may lead to a collapse, and every collapse may be life-threatening.

"I'll bring it to the mountain gate and send someone to investigate." Lu Yunsheng said suddenly.

"Thank you." The girl whispered.

But both of them knew that after losing this accident, it would be difficult for the unreachable Tianshan to catch the shadow of Huan Death Lou again.

"The confrontation between Tianshan and Huan Death Lou is not over yet, when the time comes, the victory on the other side may be affected, and Huan Death Lou may shrink their tentacles."

This sentence uses two maybes, but what is more "maybe" is that if Huan Death Lou really loses more than 2,000 miles away, it will shrink to Bowang's side, although Cuiyu has a big victory over Qijiao in this game, but as long as Huan Death Lou does not intend to give up here, Cuiyu who has been connected with Tianshan will definitely be cleared.

When they decided to stand with Tianshan, the victory or defeat between the Cuiyu Seven Jiao was not so important.

"You can find life from Xianrentai below, and then at least I'll stay here." The hoof wheel sparkled along the stone road, and Lu Yunsheng was silent for a while and said, "The sect will have the decision of the sect, but from the time you lend a hand, we are comrades-in-arms, no matter what, I will meet any battle with your faction." ”

Li Yiqing glanced back at him and whispered thank you again, but he didn't even squeeze out an expression on his face.

The depressing silence all the way, when the girl drove back to the martial arts hall, the people who looked at her could hardly recognize her.

Bloody, cold, pale, dull, heavy. The girl was like a corpse capable of moving. All the voices of those who saw it were choked, and not one of them went up to talk.

The girl couldn't see anyone in her sight, and all in front of her eyes was a thick inky night, on which was the bright red blood spilled by her uncle, and the light and shadow of the broken sword kept flashing on this black and red curtain, which was mixed with the hideous faces of different people.

Until the carriage stopped in front of the West Courtyard.

The morning light that overflowed from behind the three-story building pierced her eyes, and the girl subconsciously dodged for a moment, and the light in front of her was warm and the locust tree was dyed gold, and she realized that the carriage had stopped.

And the young man was standing tall at the door of the martial arts field, looking at her with a smile.

It is the best time of the day, when hope and joy begin to awaken, and those who rise in the morning look forward to their journey.

When the girl saw this figure, everything in her mind was still cold and sluggish, but when she saw the peaceful and stable smile, her lips suddenly trembled, and her emotions were about to break through the ice and gush out.

She flinched subconsciously, and suddenly felt that she should retreat into the cold, heavy night.

But it was too late, and the boy strode over, and in the process, the smile on his face fell, and his eyebrows furrowed deeply.

"What's going on?" The boy grabbed her cold wrist and fixed his gaze on her blood-soaked lower abdomen, "Why don't you bandage it first?" ”

Li Yiqing looked at him, pursed his lips tightly, the muscles of his cheeks and cheeks twitched, as if he wanted to squeeze out a smile at him like every time he met before, but as long as his mouth relaxed slightly, another diametrically opposite expression could not be suppressed.

"There's one thing you can help me write down." The girl lowered her head, tried her best to control her throat, and said in a low voice, "I know that all the people involved in Baizhu Pavilion are dead, and Senior Qinghuang is seriously injured in the carriage, don't let him show up, I will secretly send him back to Baizhu Pavilion later." What happened last night has nothing to do with Bai Zhu, and what happened later has nothing to do with Bai Zhu. ”

Pei Ye was slightly stunned, didn't answer, and hugged her arm: "You come down first and look at the wound." ”

As soon as Pei Li took it, the girl's blood-stained hand came into view, this hand was clenched tightly, and the nails had lost their bloody color. Pei Li glanced at the girl's godless face: "What is it?" ”

He flicked his hand slightly, and the girl let go of his palm with his strength, and a small bronze sword shell rolled twice in his palm.

Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, picked it up and put it into the girl's pocket, and helped the girl who was moving to get out of the carriage, she continued to mumble: "I have to notify the people in the city to deal with the corpse by the lake."

Pei Ye locked his eyebrows and gently pressed the wound on her abdomen, sending what little true qi he had left into it.

"Sword wounds." Li Yiqing came back to his senses and said in a low voice, "It's okay, he didn't have time to send true qi." ”

Pei Li's heart was slightly relaxed, but his brows were still wrinkled: "You have lost too much blood." ”

"It's okay, I'm really angry." Li Yiqing's throat rolled twice, and he looked at the ground, "Pei Li, I want to be quiet for a while alone." ”

"Let's be quiet later." Pei Ye took her arm and walked towards the east courtyard, "I'll show you someone first." ”

Li Yiqing glanced at him blankly, but his body had no opinion, and he let the young man lead him.

The east courtyard is a deserted sundries yard, and almost no one comes on weekdays, but this time, as soon as Pei Ye pushed the door open, there were seven or eight figures standing in the courtyard.

There was a man lying on the ground.

Gray-clothed, old man, two words crossed the girl's mind, and when she got closer, she realized that it was a corpse.

"Look, do you recognize him?" The young man beside him said.

Li Yiqing moved his stunned gaze to the man's face, and then even stopped breathing.

For a moment, she felt that everything around her was unreal, and she had not actually returned to the martial arts hall, but was still on the lakeside, still facing the corpse.

I didn't kill him with the Wind Snow Order and the little sword, otherwise why would I only have a wound on my throat?

When did I faint and had a dream, or. Still dreaming.

"What fruit is he going to pluck to kill me?" The young man's clear voice continued to come from a higher place beside him, and he was very close, and his voice was low, "I'll kill him." ”

The girl turned her head blankly, she felt that the earth was far away from her feet, the trees, the courtyard walls, and the faces of the people around her were all spinning, hazy, and blurry, and everything was like a dream.

Only the gentle face of the young man was still visible in the field of vision, and the touch of holding his cold arm was also warm and tangible.

The girl nailed herself with this face and this hand, and she clutched the young man's clothes tightly, and said in a daze, "You say."

"I think you're going to kill this person, so I'll take you to recognize it." The boy tilted his head and looked down at her, his voice still low and clear, as if he was afraid of breaking her.

“.”

"Isn't it?" The young man turned his head to look at the corpse, thinking that he should not be mistaken, and turned back and said, "This is the day before yesterday in the Moon Capture Tower-"

His voice was suddenly cut off, because in front of him, the girl's tears overflowed from her eyes, and she bit her lip tightly, but her mouth was still grinning, and her cheeks were high and wrinkled.

Pei Ye had never seen such an ugly side of a girl, this fierce expression moved him speechlessly, Pei Ye opened his mouth, the girl was crying silently and threw herself into his arms, opened her arms and hugged him tightly, just one breath, a large piece of warm tears soaked the clothes on her chest.

Pei Ye stiffened, raised his hand, and patted her shoulder gently.

——

The others had already entered the wings, and there were only two people left in the courtyard.

Pei Ye stood aside, Li Yiqing sat cross-legged in front of the corpse, and the girl's emotions calmed down a little.

In fact, if you count forward, it has been many days, especially last night, tension, anxiety, choice, grief, fear, despair, determination, excitement, release. Cold, dead silence.

Until now, the heart is rekindled, and the girl's whole body has come back to life from the heavy coldness, but the physical injuries and extreme emotional consumption still make her weak and trance, and there is still some anxiety coiling in her heart.

"That's it, he wants this sword technique." Pei Ye said briefly, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who is you here, can you say it?" ”

"Tianshan, they only have one seven-life disciple of Weifeng Pool here." Li Yuqing said, "He was in the carriage outside, waiting for the Xianrentai." ”

"Oh, Tianshan."

Li Yiqing was still thinking about the words of the young man just now, and suddenly she thought of something, her expression tightened again, she raised her head and grabbed the young man's sleeve and said, "Someone knows. Did you kill this man? ”

Pei Ye was stunned for a moment: "Yes, the people who were startled at that time came over, and it was too late to hide. I didn't want to hide it. ”

The girl's face turned obviously pale, and she clenched his sleeve and said, "How many people?" ”

"Seven or eight." Pei Li recalled, "We packed the body here, and the people behind it were never seen again. ”

"Do these people have a chance to talk to others?"

"Someone else? Uninformed people? That's not true, it's a big deal, and after the sect leader rushed over, he took control of the news and let everyone enter the East Courtyard - that is, those people just now. ”

Li Yiqing slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”

"What's wrong?"

"The person you killed came from a force called 'Happy Death Building', and they can oppose the Tianshan Mountains." Li Yiqing pursed her lips and looked at him, "You pointed out to me one by one these people last night, and I will let them rot this matter in their hearts - you are the same, keep your mouth closed, don't let them notice you. This matter is carried by Cui Yu. ”

“.” Pei Ye smiled, and wanted to say that my debt was not bad, but looking at the nervousness buried in the girl's eyes, he looked down at his tightly twisted cuffs, and said "um" seriously.
