After saying goodbye to Luo Tianjin, Tang Afu went straight to the riverside and rushed back to the Valley of Despair with Chang Wuregret and others.

The crisis has been solved, and there is nothing to say all the way. At noon, Tang Afu came to Liuyudu alone.

After a whole day and a night of pouring rain, this moment finally ushered in a sunny day, and the wind was smooth. The weeds that grow at the water's edge seem to wake up from their slumber overnight, and they rush to bloom with colorful small flowers, exuding bursts of refreshing fragrance.

Tang Afu is one person and one sword, standing quietly at the Liuzhen ferry, leaning on the smoke and waves, and the river and the sky are the same. Facing the willow fireworks fog, apricot rain and pear clouds. Raise your head to thousands of peaks and hundreds of peaks, and your chin is bright and bright. The grass is green, the water is clear, the scenery is one step at a time, one at a glance, the magic axe is wonderful, the beauty is amazing, it makes people fascinated, and forget to return.

Thinking that back then, the disheartened Tang Afu jumped off the cliff of self-forgetfulness, and wanted to end his life as a result, but unexpectedly, there was no endless road, so he went with the flow to here, listened to Xiao Zhirou's earnest teachings in Liuyudu, and realized that he was a human being.

Since then, Tang Afu has regarded Liuyudu as a place of rebirth. Therefore, every time I visit here, it is like waking up from a big dream, standing here for a long time, and being in a daze for a long time.

"Ah Fu, are you injured?"

The sound of heaven sounded quietly, and Xiao Zhirou, who was lightly veiled and masked, slowly came out of the grass house. At this moment, she looked at Tang Afu with a slight worry in her eyes.

"I've seen the valley master. ”

Tang Afu woke up suddenly, hurriedly collected his mood, and bowed respectfully to Xiao Zhirou.

"Get up!"

When she got closer, Xiao Zhirou couldn't help but pull Tang Afu's wrist and carefully diagnose his pulse. After a while, Fang Cai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, there are no internal injuries." ”

Tang Afu was moved in his heart, and hurriedly dusted off his robe, and responded: "Don't worry, the valley master, I just accidentally fell." ”

"If it's a wrestling, why do you leave footprints on your chest?" Xiao Zhirou said angrily, "Hugh wants to lie to me, who are you doing it with?"

"Don't worry, the valley master is not from the Kunlun faction. Tang Afu knew Xiao Zhirou's thoughts, and hurriedly explained, "I have discussed with Yin Baimei, and in the future, we and the Kunlun faction will face the sky, and we will go half of each other's wells, and the river water will not interfere with each other's wells." The people of Jin Jianwu and other sects have left Jiangzhou one after another last night, and the turmoil has calmed down, and the valley owner has no worries. ”

Xiao Zhirou frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "Jin Fuyu is willing to give up?"

He couldn't help it. Tang Afu sneered, "Last night, Yin Baimei struck back, almost putting Jin Fuyu in an embarrassing situation of injustice and injustice, which is really exciting. As for the other sects, they were even more too busy to take care of themselves, and they had no intention of continuing to stay in Jiangzhou. ”

"Why did Yin Baimei fight back?" Xiao Zhirou said suspiciously, "Could it be that you persuaded him?"

"We don't have the skills. In fact, the person who really broke Yin Baimei and Jin Fuyu was ...... It's ......" Tang Afu wanted to speak and stopped, and he hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't say anything else.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhirou couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, and a faint look of understanding appeared in her eyes.

He ...... Coming to Jiangzhou?" Xiao Zhirou's voice didn't sound natural, but she tried to calm her inner fluctuations and make herself look as calm as possible.

Tang Afu hesitated in his heart, and reluctantly responded: "Yes, the surname Luo is here." ”

Xiao Zhirou's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and she asked, "Your injury ...... And it's because of him?"

"Yes. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Zhirou suddenly turned around, as if she didn't want Tang Afu to see her eyes, and said in a condensed voice: "Why did he hurt you?"

"The one surnamed Luo wants to see the valley master. Tang Afu said bluntly, "If I refused, he became angry and attacked me." ”

"You're doing the right thing. Xiao Zhirou's mood gradually calmed down, and she bowed her head and said, "I really don't want to see him." ”

"Gu Master!" Tang Afu couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked in a hesitant manner, "Between you and the surnamed Luo...... What's the matter?"

"Why?"

"Did he ever hurt you, failed you, deceived you?" Tang Afu asked in a cannon-filled voice, "I mean...... Emotional wounds. ”

"Ah Fu, you have too many questions today......"

"When it comes to the valley master, the surname Luo is like a different person. Tang Afu poured out his incomprehension in his heart, "Although I am not him, I am a man after all." I could tell from his eyes that he was ...... to you, the valley master. It seems that the remnants of the ......"

"Shut up!"

Before the words fell, Xiao Zhirou's face suddenly changed, and the gentleness just now disappeared in an instant, replaced by a cold and piercing coldness.

"Forgive the valley master!" Tang Afu was shocked and subconsciously took two steps back.

"Ah Fu, there are some things you shouldn't know, and you shouldn't be curious. Xiao Zhirou's tone was like ice, and she reprimanded, "You need to remember that the surname Luo will always be the enemy of the teacher!"

"Noted down. ”

"With your martial arts, you are by no means his opponent. Xiao Zhirou changed her words and said, "With what I know about him, the surname Luo has always vowed not to give up, how did you get out later?"

"Fortunately, Long Xiangshan came to the rescue, and I was able to escape. Tang Afu replied truthfully.

"Long Xiang Mountain?" Xiao Zhirou's tone froze, and she muttered, "Why did they save you?"

"I don't know. Tang Afu shook his head and said, "However, they personally admitted that they went to attack the Xian King's Mansion on Chinese New Year's Eve to save the imprisoned disciples of the Desperate Valley. ”

"Really?" Xiao Zhirou muttered, "I always thought that their target was the two elders of the Tang Sect, and by the way, they would find the bad luck of the Xianwang Mansion. But I didn't expect that Longxiang Mountain was actually coming for us. ”

"We have nothing to do with Longxiang Mountain, why do they help us again and again?" Tang Afu wondered, "They seem to want to help us out of the siege this time. ”

"Strange thing. Xiao Zhirou frowned and thought hard to no avail, "Longxiang Mountain and we have never known each other in our lives, why do you want to help us ......?"

"It is rumored that Longxiang Mountain and the Mongols walked very closely. Tang Afu pondered, "Could they be on the orders of the Mongols and want to recruit us?"

"Yes...... possible"

"That's right!" Tang Afu's eyes straightened, and he quickly took out a bulging letter from his bosom and explained, "This is a letter from Longxiang Mountain to the valley lord. Tang Xuan said that if the valley owner has any questions, he only needs to look at it to know. ”

Xiao Zhirou opened the letter suspiciously, and saw sixteen vigorous and powerful small characters inscribed on the paper.

"On the ninth day of September, the top of Huashan. Yaotai is ashamed, and then wait for the Yiren. ”

As soon as she saw this letter, Xiao Zhirou, who was full of incomprehension, suddenly stared. Dai's eyebrows frowned, then quickly stretched, and then frowned and stretched again...... In the blink of an eye, it had been repeated several times, a thousand flavors lingered for a moment, and a thousand feelings and sorrows gathered at one moment, and an indescribable sense of horror instantly appeared between her eyebrows.

Surprised, suspicious, sad, painful, sour...... For a while, thousands of thoughts poured into his heart, causing his heart to fluctuate and his face was colorless.

"Valley Master, you...... What's wrong?" Tang Afu had never seen Xiao Zhirou so out of shape, and he was a little at a loss at the moment, and hesitated, "Long Xiangshan invited you to the martial arts conference...... If the valley owner is unwilling, we will not go. ”

After that, Tang Afu glanced at the contents of the letter again, and hesitated: "Dare to ask the valley master, this sentence 'Yaotai snow shame'...... What does that mean?"

However, Xiao Zhirou turned a blind eye to Tang Afu's endless talk, and turned a deaf ear. She held the letter in her hands tremblingly, and her eyes looked back at the short sixteen words in anticipation.

"Gu Master, ...... in the envelope" Tang Afu stretched out his hand and pointed to the crumbling envelope, reminding, "There seems to be something else......

Hearing this, Xiao Zhirou's spirit suddenly shook. She quickly turned the envelope and eagerly poured out the "bulging things".

In an instant, a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants slipped down, impartial, and landed in Xiao Zhirou's palm.

This is a pair of small and delicate jade pendants, only the size of a fingernail, the shape is a dragon and a phoenix, exquisite, round and flawless, lifelike, ingenious. At first glance, even the layman knows that this thing must be worth a lot.

As soon as she saw this pair of jade pendants, Xiao Zhirou, who was in a trance, actually cried with a "wow". The two lines of tears are like a river bursting its embankment, falling uncontrollably.

This scene shocked Tang Afu, who was caught off guard. In his impression, Xiao Zhirou has always been as cold as ice, and she can still change her face before the landslide. Joy, anger and grief are rarely seen on her face, and now she is so sobbing and crying, which is unheard of and unseen.

At this moment, where is Xiao Zhirou still a peerless master, or the shadow of a martial arts demon? She is holding the pair of sondama pendants tightly in her hands, crying pear blossoms with rain, liver and intestines are broken, crying can't be looked up, and the pain is unbearable.

In this situation, Tang Afu, who is in love with his mother and son, saw that his heart was like a knife, and he was burned inside. Presumably, anyone in the world will be embarrassed and sad when they see it.

A peerless master, a beautiful woman in a fallen city, at this time she cried like an isolated, miserable and helpless little girl, I saw pity and distress.

Her crying seemed to vent the grievances and sorrows that had been buried in her heart for decades. I can no longer take care of my identity, and I can't even take care of the dignity that the ruthless valley lord should have, until the sky is dark, and the sun and moon are dark.

Tang Afu, who was on the side, just cried silently, but didn't say a word. Although he didn't know what Xiao Zhirou had experienced, he knew that silent companionship, at this moment, was worth a thousand words.

I don't know how long the rich sadness lasts, when Xiao Zhirou gradually sobered up from the memories and involuntarily looked up to the sky and sighed, only to find that the sunset had already covered the sky.

"Ah Fu, I made a fool of myself in front of you for the teacher. Xiao Zhirou's voice was a little hoarse, but it was still moving.

"Gu Master, presumably on the ninth ......day of the ninth month of September," Tang Afu smiled bitterly, "You should go to Huashan, right?"

"That's good!" Xiao Zhirou nodded, "I have been looking for him for more than 20 years, but I didn't expect him to hide in Longxiang Mountain and become a ...... The Holy Lord of Dragon Elephant Mountain. ”

"He?, the Holy Lord of Longxiang Mountain?" Tang Afu said in astonishment, "Could it be that the Gu Lord knows the Holy Lord of Longxiang Mountain?"

"I grew up with him as a childhood sweetheart, how can I not know him?"

"Shhh

"It's just that I've been looking for him for more than 20 years, but I don't want to catch up. As for this, Xiao Zhirou's eyes suddenly straightened, and she said in a condensed voice, "I want to ask him for what belongs to me." ”

"On the day of the martial arts conference, the surname Luo will also appear, is it ...... The valley lord is not afraid to meet him?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhirou's expression froze, and then she snorted coldly, and said undoubtedly: "What I want to get back is far more important than a surname Luo." Therefore, on the ninth day of September, the top of Huashan, I have to go!"

......
