May 20, night.

In a dilapidated courtyard on the outskirts of Tangzhou, Di Mo, who was alone, snuggled up next to a broken stone mill, his eyes were misty, and he looked at the moon in contemplation.

At this moment, there were only two things beside him, a sword and a jar of wine.

Half a month ago, he stirred up the Xianwang Mansion and almost ruined Luo Tianjin's family. I know that the catastrophe is inevitable, therefore

All the way to this point.

Tangzhou is the place agreed by Di Mo and Jin Fuyu in advance. Once the East Window incident happened, Di Mo rushed to Tangzhou for refuge, and Jin Fuyu would send someone to answer him. For this reason, he has been waiting in Tangzhou for three days, but the people from Jinjianwu have not appeared for a long time.

Di Mo knew that the longer he stayed in Tangzhou, the greater the chance of being found by Luo Tianjin. Therefore, he had secretly resolved that by the time of the night, if the people of Jinjianwu had not appeared, he would leave alone and die in the world.

When he drank the last drop of wine, the moon was getting stronger and stronger, and the time was over. Di Mo seemed to see through his fate, and couldn't help laughing at himself. Slowly got up, held a sword in one hand, and staggered towards the courtyard gate.

Now, even he didn't know where he should go after leaving this ruined courtyard? But he knew that Jin Fuyu's refusal to send people to help was by no means a lack of information, but a deliberate abandonment of him. So wherever he goes, it's better to stay here and die.

"Squeak!"

With a soft sound, the dilapidated courtyard door slowly opened, and a figure as straight as a gun appeared in front of Di Mo.

"Shhh

Di Mo, who was caught off guard, was startled by the uninvited guest outside the door, and subconsciously took a half step back, and at the same time took a closer look, a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar quietly appeared in his eyes under the reflection of the moonlight.

The two stood across the threshold, their eyes facing each other, their faces full of indescribable solemnity and complexity.

"Liu Xunyi?"

Di Mo looked unexpected, unreasonably bitter, and took the lead in breaking the silence: "When did you come?"

"About a stick of incense before that. Liu Xunyi's eyes were expressionless, and his voice was as flat as water, "It's because you are absent-minded, so you haven't noticed it." ”

Soon, Di Mo calmed down from the shock. He was clear about Liu Xunyi's intention, but he was not panicked, nor was he in a hurry to escape, but asked with interest: "Since you have arrived a long time ago, why don't you come in?"

"I want to wait for you to finish drinking this jar. Liu Xunyi looked at the empty wine jar next to the stone mill, and said lightly, "I don't want you to go on the road with regrets." ”

"The lord of the mansion asked you to kill me?"

"You know the person of the mansion master, why do you knowingly ask?"

"That's right!" Di Mo nodded and smiled, "You are the next black fan, before you take office, you really need a chance to make an example, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public." I think back then, I was the same. As for this, Di Mo looked Liu Xunyi up and down, and said with appreciation, "You are more capable than me, and you have been in the house for less than two years before sitting in the position of the black fan......"

"Why?" Liu Xunyi interrupted suddenly.

"What, why?"

"Why did you betray the lord of the mansion?"

"There is a saying: a thousand achievements are hard to overcome. I was born and died for the Xianwang Mansion, and fought bloodily for more than ten years, but because of a small mistake, all my achievements were wiped out. If it were you, what would you do?" Di Mo smiled contemptuously and replied, "As a person who has come over, I kindly advise you to say a few words, and never talk about 'affection' with the lord of the mansion, because in his eyes there are only 'interests' and 'values'. He can make you beautiful, but he can also make you doomed. Today's me is tomorrow's you. ”

Di Mo's words made Liu Xunyi's heart complicated, and he asked: "Because of this, the mansion master you killed was ruined and his family was ruined?"

"If it weren't for that, I probably wouldn't have done it so much. ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Xunyi heard a hint from Di Mo's words, and couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Listening to what you mean, it seems that you haven't been left out in the cold, and you will also be unfavorable to the mansion master?"

Di Mo's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he seemed to be irritated by Liu Xunyi's subtle observation, and said coldly: "So what?"

"The mansion master guessed correctly, there is indeed someone behind your back. Liu Xunyi said in a deep voice, "You and Jin Mingyuan's Lao Jia appeared in Luoyang City almost at the same time. You have been secretly colluding for more than ten years, and I don't know how many secrets of the Xianwang Mansion have been revealed. As I expected, from the day you stepped into the Xian Wang's Mansion, you came prepared. Who the hell is the person behind you?"

"Since you can guess so many secrets, you should be able to guess if I will tell you the truth?" Di Mo said jokingly, "Liu Xunyi, you are very smart, but unfortunately not smart enough." ”

"It doesn't take much wisdom to clean up the door master for the Xian Wang's Mansion. Liu Xunyi replied, "The rules of King Xian's Mansion were taught to me by you. All told, I owe you a favor. Later, I will give you three tricks, and the right to repay it. ”

"Do you really want to kill me?" The smile on Di Mo's face gradually subsided, and a cold color replaced it.

"You have been in charge of the next three doors for many years, and the rules are clearer than mine. Liu Xunyi raised the sword to his chest with both hands, slowly pushed the sword out of the sheath, and said word by word, "The order of the lord of the mansion is greater than the sky, and the disciples of the three sects will fulfill their duties and never give up." The mansion wants you to die in the third watch, and the king of Hades does not dare to keep people until dawn. You and me...... There is no room for bargaining. ”

"In my impression, you have never been a person who listens to words?" Di Mo's eyes stared at the cold sword blade, and said faintly, "In Quanzhou, in the Western Regions, in Yingchuan, in Hexi, in Jiangzhou, in Luoyang...... You have repeatedly disobeyed the orders of the lord of the house, and you will not kill the people that the lord of the house asks you to kill, and you will kill the people that the lord of the house does not let you kill. Why are you so obedient today? Could it be that you just want to sit in the seat of the black fan?"

Di Mo's words made Liu Xunyi's eyes darken, and he hesitated for a long time but didn't say a word.

"Did I misunderstand you, or is it your nature?" Di Mohu wondered, "Your righteousness, chivalry, family and country, and high mountain scenery are ...... Everything is an illusion that you have disguised. If this is the case, then I have to admire that your forbearance and disguise are really flawless and seamless. After all, you and Luo Tianjin are basically the same kind of people......"

"Yes!" Liu Xunyi's eyes were fierce, his eyes were like knives, and he stared at Di Mo viciously and fiercely, and said in a cruel voice, "I do covet the position of the black fan, and I am eager to get the respect of the lord of the mansion." Di Mo, you have bad intentions and plot to harm people, what qualifications do you have to say that I am greedy for profit? The reputation of the Xianwang Mansion that you have harmed has been greatly damaged, the Zhongli girl who has harmed has died young, and the son who has harmed you is not in danger, you are innocent of death!"

"Are you finally willing to say what is in your heart?" Di Mo sneered contemptuously, "Don't say what I said so badly, how good can you be?" In my opinion, you also have other plans to sneak into the Xianwang Mansion, and you will follow in my footsteps sooner or later!"

"It's useless to talk more, let's take out the sword!" Liu Xunyi straightened his sword and pointed directly at Di Mo's eyebrows.

"Don't be too confident, you may not be able to kill me!" Di Mo held the sword in one hand, and threw it violently towards the sky, and the scabbard flew in response, shining silver, pointing straight to the sky.

In an instant, the killing intent in the broken courtyard was everywhere, the sword qi condensed, and the two sharp swords seemed to have souls, sensing their master's determination and killing intent, and they couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Under the silence of the night, bursts of sword roar make people palpitate and chill.

"I have heard that your swordsmanship is excellent, I don't know how you compare to me?" Di Mo said provocatively.

"Try it and you'll know ......"

"Pick up!"

Before the words fell, Di Mo suddenly shouted, and at the same time, with a movement of his feet, the sword blade fell from the sky, and a silver arc suddenly pierced the night sky, directly taking Liu Xunyi's heavenly spirit cover.

Before the blade fell, the sword qi came first, blowing Liu Xunyi's hair away in an instant, and the bone-chilling feeling was from far to near, making his scalp tingle.

"Whew!"

Liu Xunyi held his breath and stared, standing uncharacteristically in place. Neither dodging nor parrying, just staring at the lightning blade with his eyes, suppressing the anxiety and tension in his heart, trying his best to keep himself calm, but his right hand couldn't help but clench the hilt of the sword a little tighter.

Between the lightning and flint, Liu Xunyi wanted to swing his sword countless times, but he was forced to suppress it by himself. No matter how strong the desire to make a move was, the right hand holding the sword had "flicked" slightly more than a dozen times, but he still gritted his teeth and stood still.

At this moment, Luo Tianjin's earnest teachings repeatedly resounded in Liu Xunyi's ears: "Because your sword is too fast, when you fight with the enemy, you won't think quietly at all...... You must learn to control the sword with your heart, and don't let the sword control your heart......"

One foot, seven feet, three feet, one foot, eight inches, five inches, three inches, one inch......

"It's now!"

It's too late, it's too soon. Just when Di Mo's sword almost touched Liu Xunyi's hair, his eyes suddenly froze, and at the same time, his feet moved, his body turned sideways in a half circle, accompanied by a soft sound of "whoosh", and the sharp blade of the sword whistled down against the tip of Liu Xunyi's nose.

A sword flew down, carrying only a strand of hair, without hurting the flesh and skin.

"The lord of the mansion is honest and does not deceive me!" Liu Xunyi was overjoyed in his heart, and said with emotion, "Thinking before acting, planning and then deciding, not only can avoid its edge, but can save a lot of energy." ”

"One move!" Liu Xunyi reminded, "I'll let you make two more moves!"

"Look for death!"

Di Mowan didn't expect Liu Xunyi's martial arts to be so strong, and he was furious in his heart, and before the sword fell to the ground, his wrist suddenly flipped over, and the sword body slanted, and he took Liu Xunyi's lower body from the bottom up.

"Despicable!"

Liu Xunyi scolded secretly, his knees slammed together, and he instantly clamped the sword body. Without waiting for the sword to break through the obstacles, Liu Xunyi clicked on his toes and flew out upside down, his body flipped from mid-air, and landed steadily on the stone mill in the courtyard.

"Two moves!" Liu Xunyi said in a condensed voice, "You still have one last chance." ”

"Impossible!" Di Mo's eyes were full of surprise and disbelief, "I've seen you make a move, although your martial arts are high, it's far from that, you ......"

"Fortunately, with the guidance of the master, I made a slight inch. ”

"Luo Tianjin really values you very much. Di Mo suddenly realized, and there was a bit of loss in his tone.

"Come again!"

With a broken drink, Di Mo flashed over, and raised his sword to take Liu Xunyi's front door. The speed is as fast as lightning, like a white horse passing through a gap, and in a blink of an eye, the sword blade has been killed in front of Liu Xunyi.

"Simplifying?"

Liu Xunyi looked at the bland move and couldn't help but be stunned. Feeling the infinitely dilated tip of the sword in his pupils, he wanted to dodge sideways.

However, just when Liu Xunyi's right foot was slightly off the ground, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and Di Mo's move would never be easily seen through by himself.

Thinking of this, Liu Xunyi's eyes changed, and his right foot returned to the ground. At the same time, holding the sword in one hand, he flung it sideways, blocking the sword obliquely behind his back.

At the same time, Di Mo slammed his feet, almost clinging to Liu Xunyi, he jumped over his head in an instant, and stabbed a sword in mid-air, directly hitting the back of Liu Xunyi's neck.

"Khooth!"

With a loud bang, Di Mo's sword blade slammed into Liu Xunyi's sword. The force was so great that his arm was numb and painful.

Liu Xunyi flew forward a few meters with the help of his strength, Di Mo turned over and fell, standing in Liu Xunyi's position just now.

Di Mo's gloomy eyes stared at Liu Xunyi, and said coldly: "You can see through my intentions, and you really have some skills." ”

"I've made you three tricks, and you have two clear feelings. Next, I will do my best, life and death are in peace!"
