On the snowy mountains, in the woods.

An old man with strong martial arts, armed with a sharp sword, wants to kill a pair of young men and women who are close to him and look like ants, this is really a simple matter, it seems that everything is a foregone conclusion.

Han Diaoyi's eyes were cold, and he raised his sword to kill.

A voice suddenly sounded: "What a match made in heaven, it's really touching, you old man, are you hard-hearted? Why don't you have any human touch at all?"

The voice is ethereal, as if far and near.

For some reason, Mu Linchun actually felt a little familiar. Although he didn't guess who it was, he was still relieved, he knew that he might not have to die, so he slowly got up, and at the same time helped Yueyao up.

Han Diaoyi's face changed, his mind changed, and he didn't care who was peeping in the dark, and stabbed towards Mu Linchun and Yue Yao with a sword.

This sword was like thunder, as fast as lightning, and it was about to string the two together, but just when the tip of the sword was less than three feet away from Mu Linchun's back, a black thing broke through the air, impartially, and hit Han Diaoyi's sword body, and the long sword in his hand was suddenly missed. What shocked him even more was that even his entire body couldn't help but take a few steps to the side.

Han Diaoyi fixed his eyes and saw that the thing that missed him with one person and one sword was just a small, light pine cone.

Han Diaoyi looked around, but he didn't find half a figure, and he couldn't feel any qi flowing. He was shocked in his heart, knowing that the martial arts cultivation of the person who came must be much higher than his own, and he had no intention of killing people at the moment.

As long as he doesn't die, then there is still a chance, and he will not be as stupid as Li Hanyi. When a person dies, a lamp goes out, but when the lamp goes out, it can be rekindled, and when a person dies, there is nothing left.

It's just that when his figure just swept out of the three zhang, the second pine cone came out of thin air, and then the third, fourth, and fifth, one after another, the speed was extremely fast, making people unguardable, Han Diaoyi took care of one or the other, and there was no time to dodge.

One of the pine cones just hit a acupoint in his back, and in an instant, Han Diaoyi's qi was suddenly blocked, and he could no longer function, and the whole person could only maintain that strange posture, motionless.

Then a few people in the forest saw a middle-aged man in a gray cotton robe slowly falling from the top of the woods.

The man was carrying a long sword and a smile on his stubble face. When Mu Linchun saw this person at first glance, his face was surprised, and he asked in disbelief: "Is it you?"

The man smiled, "It's me." ”

"You...... Is that loved one in your family well?"

"I guess it's almost the time I left Dongping, she was fine, and she must be almost healed now. ”

It turned out that this person was the sloppy man he met at the inn on the first day of Mu Linchun's trip to Dongxuan, who had never known him but asked him to borrow a hundred taels of silver.

It's just that he doesn't look sloppy at all now, even if he is a little haggard from his beard that has not been groomed for many days, but his expression is radiant, and he is not at all as depressed and unhappy as he was then.

He cast a grateful glance at Mu Linchun, and then said: "That Qin Divine Doctor really lives up to his reputation, and he really sees the root of the illness of the insider, and thanks to your one hundred taels of charcoal in the snow, otherwise I would have to embark on the road of robbing the house, one of your good deeds has made the rivers and lakes one less Jiangyang thief, and he should be a big white." He laughed.

On that day, Mu Linchun saw that this person was indifferent when he faced Han Diaoyi, who drew his sword out of the sheath with an invisible qi, and expected that he must have some skills, so he should form a good fate. Moreover, at that time, this person said that he was going to find a miracle doctor in Dongping County, which was naturally Qin Xuan's father Qin Zhiguan, and the so-called fat water did not flow into the fields of outsiders, so he acted generously.

He followed a few polite words, and then asked, "I don't know what to call the hero?"

"My name is Qi Hongyu, but I can't be a hero. ”

What the man said was an understatement, but Mu Linchun was shocked when he heard it, if he was not mistaken, the seventh-ranked sword god on the sword god list was also called Qi Hongyu. For this person, Mu Linchun can be said to remember it vividly, it is rumored that he was willing to give up a good future for a female devil and became a public enemy of martial arts, and then became a street rat because he accidentally killed the only son of Guan Changfeng, the head of the "Nine Knives" of Jiangnan Road, and disappeared from the rivers and lakes.

Some time ago, there was a news from Fengbo Tower, saying that Qi Hongyu was defeated by a rising sword god named Jiang Ruhua, and when Qin Xuan told Mu Linchun at that time, the latter didn't care.

Mu Linchun looked at the man's face again, and arched his hand and said: "The wild goose flew south, volleyed a feather in the air, it turned out to be Qi Jianshen, disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

Qi Hongyu said with a smile: "What is the volley bird feather, that is the nickname I thought I thought of when I first entered the rivers and lakes a few years ago, I thought it was quite bluffing at the time, but now I think about it is really ridiculous and generous, compared with your father and grandfather, but it is 108,000 miles behind." ”

Mu Linchun smiled, didn't answer this question, and asked instead, "Qi Sword God, how did you appear here?"

Qi Hongyu was about to speak, but suddenly looked sideways, only to see a white figure appear in the forest behind Han Diaoyi, it was a girl dressed in a white fox fur, the girl was holding a long sword, her face was sad, especially when she saw Han Diaoyi's back, her emotions became even more excited.

She rushed behind Han Diaoyi like a madman, stabbed out with a sword, only to hear a stab, the extremely sharp flying snow sword came out of Han Diaoyi's chest, blood splashed, Han Diaoyi's face changed drastically, his eyes suddenly bulged outward, and he fell forward.

The girl's apricot eyes widened, her face was incredulous, she hurriedly pounced on the Great Elder who fell to the ground, grabbed him in her arms, and asked tremblingly, "Why don't you hide......?"

Blood overflowed from the corners of Han Diaoyi's mouth, looking at the crying girl, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, and he wanted to wipe away the tears for the girl, but his arm still couldn't exert his strength, so he could only say with difficulty: "Youzhi, Uncle Han doesn't blame you, you have to take care of yourself in the future, you have to persuade your father, the Red Lotus Sword Sect...... In the future, I have to hand it over to Qingfeng......"

Mu Youzhi was already crying heartbreakingly, tears were pouring out, but it was a pity that her sword passed through her heart, Han Diaoyi said a word, and she died of anger.

In fact, before Mu Youzhi arrived, Qi Hongyu had already discovered her. At that time, Qi Hongyu threw an inquiring look at Mu Linchun, which meant whether to stop Mu Youzhi, who was out of control, but Mu Linchun shook his head lightly at him, and then they watched the development of things coldly.

It wasn't until Han Diaoyi died that Mu Linchun stepped forward and began to comfort his sister, but unfortunately Mu Youzhi couldn't listen to anything at the moment. Holding Han Diaoyi's corpse, he cried darkly, and after a long time, he suddenly asked, "Why did Uncle Han kill Li Hanyi? Why didn't he dodge when I stabbed him?"

When Mu Linchun chased after Han Diaoyi, he had already guessed that Li Hanyi might have died, and when he heard his sister say it at this moment, his expression was gloomy, and he sighed: "Because he wants to kill me, Li Hanyi wants to stop it." As for the fact that he didn't dodge your sword, it was because his acupuncture point was pointed. ”

When Mu Youzhi heard this, he glanced at the gray-clothed man standing with a sword not far away, her eyes were like torches, and there was a trace of hatred in her eyes, but it dissipated after a while.

But Rao is like this, which also makes Qi Hongyu chuckle in his heart, he is the most reluctant to get involved in the sect fight, in order to clear up the relationship, he told a few people the reason why he appeared here.

It turned out that after he got Mu Linchun's funding that day, he took his seriously ill wife to Guyuantang in Dongping County, although Qin Zhiguan saw the cause of the disease, but one hundred taels of silver was still not enough, because if he wanted to cure his wife's illness, he also needed the extremely expensive Tianshan Snow Lotus, and this kind of medicinal material alone cost more than one hundred taels.

Qi Hongyu naturally didn't have that much money, his face was embarrassed, Qin Zhiguan told him that it was okay if he didn't have money to buy it, unless he had the ability to go to Tianshan Mountain to pick one back, but every snow lotus must be guarded by a spirit beast, and if he wanted or took it, he must be a super-first-class martial arts master.

When Qi Hongyu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said that he had this ability, and told Qin Zhiguan that he was actually from the martial arts, but he did not say the specific name. As soon as Qin Zhiguan heard this, he immediately changed his attitude, saying that he could give his wife medicine until he was sick without charging a penny, provided that he went to Tianshan for himself, protected a person, and brought him back.

Qin Zhi was good at calligraphy and painting, so he painted two portraits, Qi Hongyu looked at one of them, wasn't it the Mu Gongzi who borrowed one hundred taels from him? stayed in the hospital for another three days, and saw that under Qin Zhiguan's treatment, his wife's illness was improved, so he left with confidence.

Before leaving, Qin Zhiguan also bought a good horse to give away, Qi Hongyu traveled day and night, and had already come to Kunlun Mountain to wait in advance, and he noticed it when Mu Linchun and Qin Xuan and others arrived on the first day, but he didn't show up.

Later, Qin Xuan and others went up the mountain to look for silkworms, and he also secretly accompanied them, and when everyone was divided into three groups, Qi Hongyu overheard the conversation between Han Diaoyi and Li Hanyi in the woods.

Probably this means that let Li Hanyi not take the matter of finding the silkworm to heart, even if this waste young master recovers, it is impossible for him to become a peerless master, if Mu Tianjun passes on the position of head to him in the future, then the Red Lotus Sword Sect will inevitably become the last sect in the rivers and lakes. Although Li Hanyi was shocked at the time, he did not have any objections.

After Qin Xuan and Ximen Feilong both went down to the other side of the snowy mountain, Han Diaoyi knocked on Li Hanyi again. At that time, Qi Hongyu, who was hiding on the towering giant tree, was a little annoyed in his heart, and accidentally leaked his qi, which startled the birds in the forest, but his realm was too much higher than that of Han and Li, and although the two of them were surprised, they didn't notice it.

Later, Qin Xuan and Ximen Feilong entered the realm of the Hidden Gate Life and Death Monument, but he did not follow, only hid in the shadows to protect Mu Linchun, but at that time, Han Diaoyi did not show murderous intentions, until he finally couldn't bear it in the cave.

After hearing this, Mu Youzhi asked, "Then why didn't you make a move earlier?" Then Li Hanyi wouldn't have to die, maybe Uncle Han would ...... Won't die ......"

Qi Hongyu glanced at Mu Linchun, he actually wanted to stop Mu Youzhi, but because of Mu Linchun's shaking of his head, he chose to watch coldly. After thinking about it, he said: "How do I know that this Han Diaoyi even killed his own comrades? Besides, I didn't enter the cave at that time, after the two of them fought, I was going to make a move, but I saw that Mu Gongzi and this girl had already gone out of the cave and went down the mountain, there are many fierce beasts in this forest, of course I have to protect them." ”

In fact, this was just Qi Hongyu's excuse, the reason why he didn't make a move in advance was because he was unwilling to get involved in these of the Red Lotus Sword Sect. The purpose of his coming here is to protect Qin Xuan and Mu Linchun, he is too lazy to care about other people, if he is a teenager, maybe he will draw his sword to help when he sees injustice, but he has experienced the coldness of human nature, and he has seen the life and death of irrelevant people very lightly, and he has lost the spirit of fighting with a sword at all.

Mu Youzhi no longer spoke, but in his heart, he held a grudge against the person who saved his brother. At the same time, she also hated herself, hated herself for being too incompetent, and when she thought of this, tears fell again. picked up Han Diaoyi's corpse and walked towards the top of the mountain with staggering steps.

Mu Linchun sighed and led Yue Yao to follow silently. However, he did not have any sympathy for Han Diaoyi's death, but his heart was full of guilt for Li Hanyi.
