Chapter 173: Lovesickness is the most bitter
However, it was said that after Xiao Yunfan entered Beijing, the leaders of the Central Plains Martial Arts discussed a strategy against the Ghost Xiangmen in the Jiaye Zen Academy. After agreeing on the strategy, the group of heroes returned to the mountain. On the way, a group of women from the Xuannu Palace headed west under the leadership of Xue Lanyi.
They settled down in an inn in the town of Diecui. After dinner, Xue Lan summoned Jiang Shui's two daughters to talk secretly in her room. The three of them sat around a round table, and Xue Lanyi said slowly: "Hanyue, Hanyan, I will send you here, and the young master of the Divine Sword Pavilion on the road will escort you back to the mountain." ”
Jiang Hanyue was overjoyed, and said in her heart: "This Lin Gongzi is gentle and elegant, but I don't know if he has a sweetheart?" Shui Hanyan didn't look at the look in his sister's eyes, frowned slightly, and said: "Master, your old man used to teach us to have less dealings with stinky men, why do you want people from the Divine Sword Pavilion to send them away?"
Xue Lanyi smiled and said: "Actually, this Lin Gongzi wants to be a flower messenger, how can the old body brush him with good intentions." Besides, if our Xuannu Palace can marry the Divine Sword Pavilion one day, it will be a good thing. This Lin Gongzi is now twenty-seven years old, which is a little older, but he has not yet married.
Lin Changkong is a respected martial arts senior, if you are blessed to marry into the Lin family as a daughter-in-law, then our Xuannu Palace will also be regarded as a stain. Shui said with a smoke: "Master, you said that women in this world are the same as men, if someone marries into their Divine Sword Pavilion, it will be them who will touch our light." ”
Jiang Hanyue stretched out her hand and twisted her face and said, "Master, look at this little girl, she looks like a different person when she talks today." Shui Hanyan pulled away her hand, blinked and smiled: "I know that my senior sister has a good impression of that Lin Gongzi, and in the future, when someone from my Xuannu Palace will marry, I think this Mrs. Lin is none other than my senior sister." ”
Jiang Hanyue's pretty face turned red in an instant, and said, "Whoever wants to marry, I ...... I just ......" Xue Lanyi sighed and said, "Alas, if it weren't for the decline of my Xuannu Palace, I wouldn't have made this decision." When it comes to marriage, it is also a helpless move.
I'm going to save people, so I have to give you a deal. As the palace master of the Xuannu Palace, I originally wanted Hanyue to inherit my mantle. But if you want to be the palace master, you have to give up this love word. Can you do it?" Jiang Hanyue's face changed slightly when she heard this.
Xue Lanyi said: "Don't blame my mother-in-law, child, I'm ruthless." The marriage of disciples, the Xuannu Palace is at most a dowry. But the marriage of the palace master may change the ancestral inheritance to others. That's what I hope you can understand. You are not in a hurry to answer me now, you and Hanyan should go back and think about it. Until you figure it out, and give me an answer tomorrow, you can go. ”
The two went out of the room, and Jiang Hanyue's face turned pale. When she returned to the house, she lay on the table and cried, in Shui Hanyan's eyes, the senior sister has always been very strong, and rarely cries. She knew in her heart that it was difficult to choose between her lover and her career.
She walked slowly behind her, put her hands on her shoulders and said softly, "Senior sister, Yan'er knows the difficulties in your heart. I won't fight with you for this palace master, Yan'er has no father and mother since she was a child. Sister, you treat me best, you are my dearest person. I'm happy when I'm happy, and if you're uncomfortable, Yan'er's heart is like a knife. As she spoke, tears rolled down her face.
Jiang Hanyue's body trembled, she might be able to understand Shui Hanyan's deep affection for Xiao Yunfan at this moment. She fell in love with him from the first time she saw him. Even though he hadn't promised her anything, he had never said a word to her. But for her, as long as she can look at him, her heart is extremely happy.
Her knuckles turned white with exertion, and her hands clutched at the table. It was as if the table wasn't a table, but her heart. She understood that the heir of the master was a person who could take on the great cause of the revival of the Xuannu Palace. And if this person has an emotional bond, he is naturally no longer qualified to be the palace master.
She looked up, her temples scattered, and the tears on her face were like beads with broken threads. If lovesickness is bitter, this unrequited love is even more bitter. For her, it all ends before it begins. It was as if a crystal bubble on the surface of the water had melted into nothing in an instant.
Jiang Hanyue thought to herself: "Senior sister's love for Xiao Yunfan, Xiao Yunfan at least still knows, but what about me? There is not even a shadow in Lin Zhongquan's heart." I used to laugh at my sister all the time, and even despised her in my heart. What am I and what am I?"
Shui Hanyan hugged her from behind, put her face on her back, and said softly: "Senior sister, Yan'er will always be by your side." Jiang Hanyue held her hand, and a tear slipped to the corner of her mouth. She smiled, "I...... I'm fine. I am the senior sister of the Xuannu Palace, how can I cry?
Men, most men in the world have a virtue. How can I, Jiang Hanyue, cry for a man, not to mention whether there are people in their hearts I don't know. The more she said this, she found that her heart seemed to be clenched tightly by an invisible hand, and she couldn't help but shrink in pain.
After a while, Jiang Hanyue's mood finally calmed down. She looked at Shui Hanyan and said, "Yan'er, you are my best sister, and my sister is very pleased that you can be by my side." Today, I finally understand the feeling you have for Xiao Yunfan in your heart. The feeling of loving someone turns out to be like this, sometimes the heart is very sweet, sweet like dense, sometimes very bitter, bitter like coptis, sometimes very sour, sour like green plum.
I promised my master to revive my Xuannu Palace, Lin Zhongquan is a stinky man, how can I take a fancy to him. You stupid girl, why are you more sad than me when I cry. ”
As she spoke, she hugged Shui Hanyan tightly in her arms. The taste of tears in her mouth made her understand what love was, and in her opinion, she didn't want to be so painful, not so uncomfortable. Jiang Hanyue said in her heart: "Without love, the heart will not hurt." The heart will not hurt in order to be a good successor. No. 3 Chinese Network
There are so many sisters who have died in our Xuannu Palace, and many of them have never even gone down the mountain, and they don't know that there is something called love in this world. I have experienced it for them, and now I will live for them, and I will avenge them. Their blood cannot be shed in vain, and I cannot disappoint my master. ”
The next day, Jiang Shui and the two came to the door of Selangor Yi. The maid Cai Wei said: "Senior sister, the old man has already left. Jiang Shui and the others looked stunned. Jiang Hanyue said: "Then it's okay if her old man doesn't tell us, why don't you inform us?" Cai Wei looked embarrassed and hurriedly said: "Senior sister, don't blame me." It was the old man who didn't let me inform you.
By the way, she instructed before she left that there was a letter in her room for you. I'm here to wait for you to come. With that, Jiang Shui and the two pushed the door in.
On the round table in the room, a letter was pressed under an oil lamp. Jiang Hanyue picked up the letter, tore open the cover, and pulled out the letter.
A line of beautiful small characters appeared in front of the two, which read:
If I don't return, the palace master is located in Jiang Hanyue. The token of this door Jiuyao Linglong has been destroyed, and there is a jade plate under the bed in the remaining bedroom, which can be regarded as a token of the palace master. With this token, everyone respects the order, and if there is any violation, they will be expelled from the division.
Jiang Hanyue said in her heart: "It turns out that the master has always valued me, and in her heart, I am the best choice. If I fail her, am I not as good as a beast? Shui Hanyan's face turned pale and said, "Senior sister, if the master really encounters an accident on this trip, how should we deal with ourselves?" Jiang Hanyue said lightly: "With me Jiang Hanyue here, this Xuannu Palace will never fall." Her eyes returned to their previous sharpness and coldness.
On the top of the nameless cliff of Tianhui Mountain, in front of a cave, there are eight big men who have finished their strong suits. They all had straight waists, and their right hands were pressed on the hilt of their swords. Shell Lan crouched on top of a boulder and peered down. The eight men didn't seem to notice her presence.
She reached out and touched a leather bag around her waist and clasped a silver needle between her fingers. Suddenly, with a wave of her sleeve, she fell from the boulder. The eight people were taken aback, and they all drew their swords and said, "Who is it?" Xue Lanyi did not answer, and with a blow of the wind, she did not wait for the eight people to approach. The silver needle turned into a bright light and flew towards the enemy.
Eight people screamed and died instantly, and everyone was dripping with blood in the center of their eyebrows. The five small dots are like plum blossoms, and this trick is the secret weapon of the Xuannu Palace, called "Ling Han opens alone". In one move, eight lives were taken, and she couldn't help but sigh softly. He walked slowly to the cave, the entrance of which was blocked by an iron fence.
Her gaze swept over the eight of them, and she drew her long sword with her backhand and picked up the key and grabbed it in her hand. She inserted the key into the lock hole and twisted it, and there was a chirp as the iron fence slowly rose. Two pine sticks were stuck in the wall at the entrance of the cave, and the pale yellow light shone on the ground.
The cave was dark and damp, and a musty smell came to my face. Xue Lanyi reached out and fanned the end of her nose and continued to walk forward. After walking fifty steps, another iron fence stood in front of him. Xue Lanyi pointed the string of copper keys at the keyhole in the wall and turned it.
Inside the second gate was a long corridor, unguarded. Xue Lanyi couldn't help but wonder in her heart: "If they locked Feng Ying and the others here, how could they only send those few people?" Just as he was thinking, a shout came from behind, and one of them said: "It's not good that someone robs the prison, the Dharma King will hand over this place to us to take care of, you can't lose anyone if you lose your head, big guy, follow me into the cave to check." ”
Xue Lanyi held her sword behind her back and waited for someone to come. After a few moments, five people rushed in. The leader was a one-eyed man, and the big man said: "Who are you, dare to come here to spread wild?" Xue Lanyi looked at the visitor coldly with a pair of bright eyes and said, "You are not worthy to ask the name of the old body." ”
The one-eyed man said with a bruise on his forehead, "If you kill our brother, we won't let you leave here alive." Xue Lanyi said: "Then let's see how your hands are doing?" The one-eyed man said: "Brothers, go up." ”
The steel knives in their hands flickered and slashed at her. Xue Lanyi took a step forward with her left foot, and her body stepped forward, facing the blade. I saw that she probed with one hand, and she had pinched the blade of the incoming person, and there was a crisp sound on the ground, and the steel knife was actually broken for her with her bare hands. She was so quick that the two of them had not yet seen how she was going to do it. The body flew backwards like a paper kite.
The broken knife in his hand couldn't hold it anymore, and flew towards the one-eyed man. When the big man saw that the other party's martial arts were superb, he couldn't help but be stunned. In that instant, two broken knives grazed past his ears. A strand of his hair fell to the ground. Xue Lanyi still looked at him coldly, and said coldly: "I don't care who you are, you will die if you see me today." ”
As soon as the word death came out, her person was already rushing forward like a ghost. The one-eyed man and the other three drew their blades one after another, wanting to fight the trapped beasts, but the steel knife in their hands had not yet been raised. I felt my heart numb, and a wave of energy rushed to the top of my head. The chest was also bored, and finally I couldn't help it, and a mouthful of blood spurted out wildly.
Xue Lanyi turned around and muttered, "You ghost sects have brutalized many of our disciples, and today the old body will pay for the debt with blood. Among these three people is another martial art of Xue Lanyi, called "Jade Girl Shuttling Hand". This martial art is an extremely clever acupoint kung fu, which seals a wisp of cold true qi into the opponent's body in the moment of the acupoint.
This wisp of cold true qi was like a shuttle, swimming in the eight veins of the opponent's strange meridians, rampage, causing the enemy's qi and blood to surge, and the meridians were completely broken.
