001 The top of the snow-capped mountains
Snow Mountain has been a place full of mystery since ancient times, and various beautiful legends have been circulated.
There is only one season in the snow-capped mountains all year round, and the heavy snow covers the entire mountain, and it looks white at a glance. The cold wind was like a knife, making a whirring sound in the air, blowing snowflakes and falling on the cliffs. It's so monotonous on the snowy mountains, there is only one color throughout the year.
Fang Ze is over thirty years old, he has been in the Snow Mountain for seven years, and he should have spent all his time in the lonely Snow Mountain.
Fang Ze was wearing a luxurious purple robe, which looked a little more aristocratic. Seven years ago, although Fang Ze had brothers who accompanied him from birth to death, chivalrous women who accompanied him to the end of the world, and high-rollers who accompanied him to get drunk and relieve his sorrows, he still came to Wanli Snow Mountain, and there were only two or three brothers by his side. Many people don't know why he did this, and sometimes Fang Ze is also asking this question, and he doesn't know if it's right or wrong to do so.
Fang Ze stood in the snow with his hands in his hands, staring ahead, in front of Fang Ze, there was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in black who was dancing a sword in the wind and snow.
This girl is very handsome, and everyone seems to be a beauty. The girl's swordsmanship was swift and sharp, her body shuttled through the wind and snow, and there were only slight marks where her feet had stepped on. The girl was very satisfied with her swordsmanship, dancing with the sword in her hand and looking at Fang Ze's expression from time to time.
Fang Ze's face did not change at all, he still had a solemn face, and suddenly said to this girl in a low voice: "Ying'er, you have to remember that only if you practice hard in the He family, you can not be bullied, you can protect yourself, protect the people you care about, and let them no longer be harmed in any way." At the same time, he sighed in his heart, and he kept his promise to He Yidao back then.
Fang Ze's voice became higher and higher, and the shadow girl remembered the incident of seven years ago, her eyes showed a little hatred, and her face even skipped a trace of pain, and she danced the sword even more loudly, as if this piece of snowflake was her enemy.
Miss Shadow said loudly: "Brother Fang, Shadow remembers. - I also ask Brother Fang to see the gap between me and the enemy. ”
The shadow girl said, her body jumped up, and a move of flying clouds pierced the sun and stabbed at Fang Ze's chest like lightning, the move was fierce and ruthless, like a long-time assassin, it was the killing move in the He family's knife technique, but at this moment, the shadow girl used her sword to make it, although it was a little less calm, but it was also a little more light.
Fang Ze's face showed a trace of sadness, and he was a little surprised, and said secretly: "How is it possible, in just a few days, the shadow has made such rapid progress. ”
However, at this moment, Fang Ze was not allowed to think about it, his body moved slightly, and he had already taken four or five steps back, and the speed of his body was rare in the world.
The shadow girl saw that the sword was about to stab Fang Ze's chest, and saw that Fang Ze didn't react at all. The shadow girl was happy in her heart, but this joy was only for a moment, and then it was a complete loss.
This sword shadow girl even felt that she had touched Fang Ze's clothes, but it still missed, and Fang Ze's body was already four or five steps away. Although the shadow girl knew that it was impossible for this sword to hurt Fang Ze, but when it really became a fact, she was a little disappointed.
The Shadow Girl landed on her feet, returned her sword to the sheath, and muttered with a pout, "I just try ten times harder, but I still can't take advantage of the ghost step." ”
At this time, a man in Tsing Yi walked over next to him, with a slight beard on his face, who looked about the same age as Fang Ze.
The man in Tsing Yi smiled and said, "Shadow, you should also be content." The ghost shadow step is the original creation of the ghost king's predecessors, and the ghost king's predecessors are proud of the rivers and lakes with the ghost shadow step, and created the ghost king's lineage. The eldest brother can pass on your Lost Seven Star Steps and teach you to take the He family's knife technique one step further, you are the only one who has this treatment for so many years, even if you ...... There is no such treatment either. ”
I don't know why, the man in Tsing Yi's voice is getting lower and lower, and in the end, no one else knows what he said.
When the shadow girl heard the man in Tsing Yi say this, she had a slight smile on her face and said, "Really?"
The man in Tsing Yi said: "Of course, do you think that the master of the dignified Lonely Chenxuan is willing to teach anyone?"
The shadow girl smiled and said, "I know that you, like Brother Fang, are the heroes of Gu Chenxuan's Seven Killings, and you are all well-known figures when you are mentioned in the rivers and lakes." It is only because of you that you have come to this deserted snow-capped mountain and suffered for seven years. ”
Fang Ze muttered: "How can I have such a quiet day without coming to this snowy mountain." Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his voice and said, "Shadow, when the time comes, maybe I will pass on the ghost shadow step to you, I don't want the ghost shadow step to disappear from me." ”
The shadow girl couldn't believe it, and said excitedly, "Brother Fang, is this true?"
Fang Ze looked at the fluttering snow in the sky, pondered for a long time, and said, "Of course it will, it will." ”
The shadow girl didn't understand what Fang Ze meant, and looked at the man in Tsing Yi next to her, who was looking at Fang Ze with a sad face.
The man in Tsing Yi sighed softly, and said to Fang Ze: "Big brother, go back to the room and rest for a while." After a pause, he said: "It's been seven years, if the eldest brother still misses Miss Xue'er, why don't you go back and take a look, why add so much pain to yourself." ”
Fang Ze looked at the snowfall in the sky, and said slowly: "It's been seven years, time is so fast, I don't know what happened to those brothers? ”
The shadow girl didn't know who she was in her eldest brother's heart, but in the past seven years, Fang Ze had shown her thoughts about that person everywhere, every time at this time, the shadow girl had a little pain in her heart inexplicably, Fang Ze had been treating her as an ignorant child for seven years, but she had already regarded Fang Ze as her only relative in the world, and she would never be separated.
The man in Tsing Yi said: "If you want to know this answer, only if the eldest brother goes to meet Miss Xue'er in person, will he get the answer that the eldest brother wants." Maybe it wasn't her decision at the beginning, after all, the eldest brother never saw Miss Cher again. ”
Fang Ze smiled miserably and said, "How could she come out to see me at that time." ”
The man in Tsing Yi knew that this was Fang Ze's heart knot, and he had to tie the bell to the bell, and no matter what he said, it would have no effect.
Fang Ze smiled bitterly and said, "Ximing, do you want to go back to that Jianghu?"
The man in Tsing Yi didn't react to Fang Ze's question for a while, and said in a daze: "Big brother, Xi Ming also thought about going back to see the other brothers of Gu Chenxuan, and also to see what the Seven Star Cliff and the Four Great Families have become in the past few years, but since Xi Ming followed the eldest brother to the Snow Mountain, he will listen to the orders of the eldest brother." ”
Fang Ze smiled bitterly: "You and my brother met in Luohua Town, the bloody battle against the Broken Soul Cliff, the Seven Killings of Luoluo Peak, you followed me in the bloody storm, but you stayed in the Snow Mountain for seven years, you don't know how to repay Fang Ze's affection for Fang Ze." ”
Gu Ximing said: "Big brother, since I met my eldest brother in Luohua Town, I don't feel lonely anymore. Xi Ming does everything for his eldest brother, he is willing. ”
The shadow girl standing next to her said, "Brother Fang, the shadow is willing to do anything for you." But now I only need to avenge my father, it was the four great families who killed my father, and I can't help but avenge this revenge. ”
The shadow girl's face was full of sadness and pain, and Fang Ze was also a little sad, and said slowly: "Your revenge now is undoubtedly to send you to death." But Fang Ze hoped in his heart that she would never take revenge on her.
Fang Ze turned around and went back to the room, leaving only the man and woman standing in the snow, and they didn't know why Fang Ze had not mentioned the old matter for seven years, why he brought it up again today.
Seven years ago, Ze was the eldest brother of Gu Chenxuan's seven killings, the descendant of the ghost king's lineage, and a figure who could shake the entire rivers and lakes.
And this man in Tsing Yi is also ranked among the seven kills of Gu Chenxuan, it is Fang Ze's fifth brother who worships and is called the Golden Hook Soul Gu Ximing, the twenty-seven style moves of the Soul Hook are ruthless, and the golden hook is simply frightened when it is mentioned on the rivers and lakes. The girl named He Ying'er is the daughter of He Yidao, the only inheritor of the He family's knife technique in the fourth master of the Seven Star Cliff.
When He Ying'er was ten years old, his father He Yidao was besieged and died by the masters of the four great families, Fang Ze was entrusted by He Yidao's deathbed to take He Ying'er to the snow mountain from then on, and stayed for seven years.
In the past seven years, Fang Ze has never left the Snow Mountain, and has spent the best seven years here, but it is also the loneliest seven years.
In the past seven years, Fang Ze has never left the top of the Snow Mountain, and he has no contact with the characters in the Snow Mountain. In addition to teaching He Ying'er martial arts every day, Fang Ze went to visit an old man who also lived on the top of the snowy mountain.
When Fang Ze met this old man in the Snow Mountain, the old man looked about fifty years old, revealing a domineering atmosphere, Fang Ze guessed that this person must be a martial arts master, but at that time, Fang Ze was disheartened, and he had no intention of knowing a person's identity and origin.
The old man and Fang Ze indicated that they still don't know each other's identities, just be friends for the rest of the year, and don't mix anything other than the feelings of the two, which is also exactly what Fang Ze meant.
The old man called himself the old man of the Snow Mountain, and Fang Ze also compared himself to the lonely snow of the snow mountain and called himself Mr. Lonely Snow.
In the past seven years, in addition to visiting the old man of Snow Mountain, Fang Ze has spent most of his time teaching He Ying'er martial arts. Fang Ze knew that He Ying'er would never forget what happened under the Seven Star Cliff, and hatred had been with her from that moment, so Fang Ze changed the He family's sword technique into a sword technique, the sword was lighter and faster for He Ying'er, but it also made the extremely powerful He family's sword technique lose most of its lethality.
He Yidao's He family knife technique can be juxtaposed with the three slashes of Mobei Ma Sandao and the blade seven styles of Mu Feng of the Divine Sword Gate on the rivers and lakes, and He Ying'er has also made this revised version of the sword technique haunting under Fang Ze's teaching, as if it can be compared with the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes.
Although Fang Ze was a little skeptical about He Ying'er's kung fu making rapid progress, but seeing that He Ying'er's kung fu was so good, the joy in his heart had already overshadowed that little doubt.
In the seven years that Fang Ze has been in the Snow Mountain, the brothers of the Seven Killings only have Gu Ximing, the soul hook of the fifth line, by his side. Gu Ximing is known as Hook Soul, and he is good at using a golden hook, and the name of this hook is called Hook Soul. Under this golden hook, I don't know how many people's souls have been hooked away. is such a character who once killed the rivers and lakes, but he accompanied Fang Ze to stay in the lonely snow-capped mountains for seven years, and he never had any dissatisfaction.
In the past seven years, only Gu Ximing understood Fang Ze's joys, sorrows, and sorrows. Fang Ze also knew what Gu Ximing had done in the past seven years, and he knew that Gu Ximing wanted to return to that Jianghu. Even if there is danger there, there are more brothers who are born and die.
Yes, Fang Ze didn't want to leave the snow mountain and return to the place where there were brothers. Fang Ze missed the days of Gu Chenxuan, and even more missed the brothers of the Seven Killings, and of course, those unsolvable mysteries and the people who were always worried about him in his heart.
In the past seven years, Fang Ze has thought countless times, he is still not the high-spirited young man he was at the beginning, can he still afford to hold that dusty sword?
The sword can cut the enemy and kill the enemy, can it also cut off the love thread and cut off the care?
Seven years ago, Fang Ze was entrusted by He Yidao's deathbed to save He Ying'er. In order to take He Ying'er away, Fang Ze did not hesitate to offend the four major martial arts families, fought to the death, and was seriously injured, but fortunately, Ying'er was still rescued by himself after all.
At that time, was it that the four great families showed mercy to their subordinates, or did they really deserve to die, how could Fang Ze at that time have time to think about it, and of course he didn't want to think about it.
Fang Ze didn't want Ying'er to be hurt again, there were many things he didn't know how to face, and finally decided to leave that Jianghu with He Ying'er.
At that time, too many people didn't understand why Fang Ze wanted to save He Ying'er, but Fang Ze's answer was only two words, "promise", a promise to the four masters of the Seven Star Cliff.
In order to prevent what happened seven years ago from happening again, the only way to do it is to let Shadow practice kung fu desperately, and also to do a lot of hard work, so as not to be harmed a little.
But as He Ying'er grew up day by day, Fang Ze was afraid that He Ying'er would take revenge, the four great families had their own people to care about, and He Ying'er was also his own relative, and whoever died would not feel good if he hurt himself.
It's been seven years, Fang Ze has endured this loneliness, this loneliness, but today Fang Ze knows that the hatred under the Seven Star Cliff He Ying'er will not forget, if he really stays in the snow mountain and doesn't face this, can the matter really be solved?
In the past seven years, Fang Ze has had many such entanglements, locking himself in the house for a whole day, forgetting the time and forgetting to eat. Whenever Gu Ximing and Ying'er had a tacit understanding at this time, they would never take the initiative to disturb Fang Ze, they waited quietly outside the door, never leaving half a step, just waiting for Fang Ze to summon at any time.
Gu Ximing knew that Fang Ze had too many things on his mind, and he needed heart medicine for heart disease. For the daughter of the head of the Seven Star Cliff, he did not hesitate to be the enemy of the four great families, but He Ying'er, who was rescued, was always thinking about revenge, but many of the objects of revenge were Fang Ze's relatives and friends, and even former lovers. Fang Ze's inner entanglement and pain, Gu Ximing understood.
Fang Ze stayed alone in the room, and there was a short sword hanging on the wall, and the scabbard was carved with hexagonal snowflakes, which was very exquisite. But now the scabbard was covered with dust, and the sword no longer had the light it once was. Since Fang Ze came to the Snow Mountain, he had hung this short sword on this wall, and he had not touched it for seven years.
This sword is called Moon Blade, one of the two famous swords of the Jiangnan Oriental Family, one of the four major families of martial arts, and it was given to him by someone Fang Ze once cared about very much. But this sword hung in Fang Ze's house for seven years, and it had always proved that Fang Ze had not forgotten that person at all.
Fang Ze walked slowly to the wall, stretched out his hand and took off the moon blade, and gently blew it with his mouth, causing dust to rise.
Fang Ze muttered, "It's been seven years, I don't know how you're doing?"
Fang Ze thought of the past, and his heart was infinitely sentimental, whether it was fate playing tricks on people, or people playing with fate.
Fang Ze took the short sword moon blade with him, turned around and opened the door.
Gu Ximing and He Ying'er were standing outside the house, and when they saw Fang Ze coming out, they hurriedly stood in front of Fang Ze.
Fang Ze said to Gu Ximing and He Ying'er: "You go and prepare, and leave the Snow Mountain tomorrow." ”
By the time Gu Ximing and He Ying'er reacted, they could no longer see Fang Ze.
He Ying'er muttered to Gu Ximing, "Fifth brother, what did Brother Fang say just now?"
Gu Ximing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that the eldest brother had figured it out, and he was ready to face everything he should face.
Gu Ximing said: "Big brother asked you to pack your things and leave the snow mountain tomorrow." ”
He Ying'er said: "It's really good. ”
He Ying'er couldn't hide the joy in her heart, and the day of avenging her father was coming.
Gu Ximing looked into Fang Ze's house, the short sword moon blade hanging on the wall was gone, it seemed that this was really the knot in the heart of the eldest brother Fang Ze.
Gu Ximing muttered: "I hope that this trip can be worthwhile and resolve grievances." ”
Just as Gu Ximing was standing in front of Fang Zemen, there was a humane behind him: "Fifth Master Gu." ”
Gu Ximing turned around, there were two people standing in front of him, thinking about his thoughts, but he didn't even notice that someone was coming.
Both of them were of medium build, both in their thirties, with a black face on the left and a slight beard, and a red face on the right, holding a halberd in their hands.
Gu Ximing looked at it, the black-faced one on the left was called Lightning Leopard Pan Xin, and the red-faced one on the right was called Yan Yan, both of them were Gu Chenxuan who followed Gu Chenxuan's seven killings and ranked sixth in Du Chong, seven years ago, Du Chong sent them to Fang Ze to send them, which was also convenient for contacting each other.
Gu Ximing saw the two of them and said with a smile: "I have something for you to do." ”
Pan Xin said: "Fifth Master Gu, please speak." ”
Gu Ximing said: "My eldest brother has decided to leave the Snow Mountain tomorrow, of course, the first stop after leaving the Snow Mountain is to go to the Jianghu Inn of the Ouyang Family. I want you to set off now, go and inform the sixth brother, so that he can make arrangements as soon as possible. ”
Yan Yan said: "Don't worry, Gu Gongzi, we'll set off now." ”
Gu Ximing said: "Then you go and prepare." ”
Gu Ximing turned around and closed Fang Ze's door, and prepared to leave. But as soon as Gu Ximing turned around, Pan Xin and Yan Yan were still standing in place, with no intention of leaving.
Gu Ximing said strangely: "Is there anything else to do with the two of you?"
Pan Xin said: "Fifth Master Gu, just now we found that there are still outsiders on the top of the snowy mountain. ”
Gu Ximing said: "What's so strange about this, there are more than a few of us on the snow mountain." ”
Yan Yan said: "It's not strange for us to be surprised by this, it's just that although the person we saw was wearing a bronze mask, we felt that we had seen it somewhere." We wanted to follow him, but we were forced by him to be unkind to us. The two of us knew that we were not his opponents, so we came back to report to Fang Gongzi. ”
Gu Ximing frowned, Pan Xin and Yan Yan have been haunting the Snow Mountain for seven years, and the martial arts figures in the Snow Mountain know them, and no one will be rude to them.
Gu Ximing said: "Where did you see this person?"
Pan Xin said: "It's on the south peak of the top of the snow-capped mountain." ”
Gu Ximing nodded and said, "Then I should go and have a look." ”
Yan Yan said: "I'll accompany Gu Wuxia to take a look, and let Brother Pan report the news." ”
Pan Xin said: "It's okay. ”
Gu Ximing did not object, and asked Yan Yan to lead the way.
After Pan Xin left, Gu Ximing took the golden hook to hook the soul, and followed Yan Yan straight to the south peak of the top of the snow mountain.
After staying at the top of the snow mountain for seven years, he didn't find that there were other people on the top of the snow mountain except the old man of the snow mountain, Pan Xin Yanyan actually said that he was a familiar person, and he didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend.
The two of them came to the south peak of the top of the snow mountain, and there were cliffs on both sides, even if the martial arts master walked on the top of the snow mountain, and fell off the cliff without paying attention, he would fall to pieces.
When the two of them walked for a short time, they found that there was a series of footprints along the mountain road to the south peak, and this footprint was also very strange, only the left foot footprint was very deep, but there was no right foot footprint, only accompanied by the left foot footprint corresponding to the right side of the hole.
Gu Ximing used the force under his feet, and several ups and downs had already jumped out seven or eight feet, but he distanced himself from Yan Yan.
Gu Ximing followed the footprints all the way forward, and after walking for a short time, he came to an open place.
Chen now has two rooms in front of Gu Ximing, and looking at the footprints, he has walked into the stone house. The people who can live on the top of the snow mountain must not be very people, of course Gu Ximing did not dare to break in, but he was also strange in his heart, after staying on the top of the snow mountain for seven years, how could he not find that the south peak was also inhabited.
Gu Ximing said loudly: "Under Gu Ximing, I don't know where you are?"
For a long time, no one in the house answered, and Gu Ximing said again: "Don't blame Gu Ximing for being unreasonable if you don't answer." ”
As soon as Gu Ximing's words fell, a figure flashed in front of him, and a person appeared, wearing a bronze mask, dressed in yellow, holding an iron crutch in his hand, his body trembled slightly, and his hand holding a cane also trembled slightly.
Gu Ximing also felt a sense of familiarity when he saw the person in front of him, but there was no one with an iron crutch in his memory.
Gu Ximing said: "When did Brother Tai come to the top of this snowy mountain?"
The man on crutches said, "Is the top of the snow-capped mountain yours?"
Gu Ximing said: "I have been following my eldest brother Fang Ze on the top of this snow-capped mountain for seven years, but I have never seen Brother Ren once, so I am a little curious. ”
The crutches are humane: "The golden hook hooks the soul Gu Wuye, stretches out his hand to give five orders, and the role of the boxer who is going to die, can also look down on a crippled mountain village man like me." ”
Gu Ximing's face changed, and he said, "Who are you, how do you know where I come from?"
The crutches said: "If I want to know, I can naturally know, why do I need to ask more about the fifth master." ”
Gu Ximing's eyes stared at the person in front of him, what kind of face was behind the bronze mask, and he thought to himself Since you don't say who it is, let me try your kung fu.
Gu Ximing suddenly became difficult, his body jumped forward, and the golden hook hooked the soul at the same time, attacking the person in front of him like lightning.
The golden hook in Gu Ximing's hand is very fast, so it is twenty-seven ways to hook the soul, and every move can hook the soul and ask for his life.
The man on crutches seemed to have been prepared, not in a hurry, watching the golden hook coming, the latte crutch knocked the golden hook slightly, although it was only a slight knock, but the golden hook in Gu Ximing's hand couldn't help but change the direction, and at the same time, the crutches man also retreated.
This surprised Gu Ximing, although the person in front of him was on iron crutches, and it seemed that there was something wrong with his legs, but his body was much smarter than himself when he moved.
Gu Ximing failed in one move, his body stepped back and took back the golden hook, hugged his fists and said: "Brother Tai's kung fu is good, I admire it." ”
Gu Ximing has become one of the seven killings of Gu Chenxuan since he followed Fang Ze, whether he is dating or seeing, he is a figure with a head and a face in martial arts, how can ordinary people look at it in Gu Ximing's eyes, but although the person on crutches he met today only has one move, it makes Gu Ximing know that this person's kung fu is much better than his own.
The man on crutches said coldly: "Since Fifth Master Gu has given me a move, then I should also return this gift." ”
The man on crutches said, the iron crutches swung and pointed towards Gu Ximing's chest, his body was fast and the crutches were faster, how could it be seen that the person in front of him would be a cripple.
With that move just now, Gu Ximing already knew that the person in front of him was not simple, and of course he didn't dare to slack off when he saw the person on crutches attacking him.
Gu Ximing stepped back, jumped up, and came to the man on crutches from top to bottom. But where the golden hook is whereabouts, where are the people on crutches. Gu Ximing was shocked, knowing that it was not good, his body was busy jumping forward, and the wind behind him was crossing, I don't know if the person on crutches deliberately slowed down, or Gu Ximing sped up in the face of life and death, in short, he just dodged this trick, but Gu Ximing was already shocked into a cold sweat.
Gu Ximing turned around, and the man on crutches was standing there, and said coldly: "You go, don't come again in the future." After that, he ignored Gu Ximing and went straight back to the house.
Gu Ximing He had suffered such a loss, but he also knew that he was not an opponent, and he didn't know what the origin of this crutches man was, so he went back and told his eldest brother Fang Ze to make plans again.
Gu Ximing returned the same way, didn't see Yan Yan, and didn't know where he went.
Gu Ximing walked for a while, and saw that the footprints on the snow were messy, as if there were traces of a fight.
Gu Ximing's first reaction was whether Yan Yan had encountered something, because there were very few people on the top of this snowy mountain. Gu Ximing couldn't help but reach out and grab the golden hook to hook the soul, and stood up and looked around.
There was no abnormality around, but no trace of Yan Yan was found.
Although Gu Ximing had some doubts in his heart, he thought about who would dare to do something to Gu Chenxuan's people on the top of the snow mountain.
As soon as Gu Ximing returned to his residence, He Ying'er came to his side and said with a smile: "Fifth Brother Gu, why are you leaving the Snow Mountain, are you unhappy?"
Gu Ximing said: "No, the eldest brother's decision is my decision." Has Yan Yan come back?"
He Ying'er said suspiciously: "No, why is Brother Yan Yan back?"
Gu Ximing was anxious in his heart, he always felt that something was going to happen today, but he didn't show it, and asked, "Has the eldest brother come back?"
He Ying'er shook her head and said, "Not yet." ”
Gu Ximing nodded and said, "Don't leave if you stay here, I have something to do when I go out." ”
Without waiting for He Ying'er to answer, Gu Ximing had already left in a hurry.
He Ying'er was very strange, she was about to leave the Snow Mountain, and these people didn't look happy.
Fang Ze went to find the old man in the snow mountain, although the difference between the two was nearly twenty years old, they had already become friends who had forgotten their years. Two people don't ask each other's past, they don't ask each other's real names, they only have feelings for each other.
Fang Ze came to say goodbye to the old man of the Snow Mountain, since he was leaving, he always had to say goodbye to the only friend on the top of the Snow Mountain.
When Fang Ze came to the old man of Snow Mountain's residence, the old man of Snow Mountain was standing outside the house, but unlike before, there was a woman in her forties sitting on a chair in front of the old man of Snow Mountain, her face was haggard, but there was a slight smile on her face.
In the past seven years, Fang Ze has been to the old man of the Snow Mountain countless times, but he has not found that the old man of the snow mountain has a second person here.
When the old man of Snow Mountain saw Fang Ze coming, he smiled and said to the woman in front of him, "Senior sister, this is the Mr. Gu Xue I mentioned to you." ”
The woman looked at Fang Ze, but said to the old man of the Snow Mountain with a smile: "For so many years, it's the first time I've seen someone other than you. ”
Fang Ze looked at the old man of the Snow Mountain with a puzzled gaze, and the old man of the Snow Mountain said: "He is my junior sister, but he suffered an internal injury many years ago and has not healed, so he rarely comes out." Today she said that she wanted to go out for a walk, and since she said something, of course I, the senior brother, must do it. ”
When Fang Ze saw this situation, the old man of the Snow Mountain looked at the woman in front of him, but it was definitely not the eyes of his junior sister, but there was a trace of resentment in his junior sister's eyes.
Fang Ze said with a smile: "It seems that I didn't come at the right time to disturb my seniors." I just came to say goodbye to my seniors, and tomorrow I will leave the snowy mountain. ”
The old man of the snow mountain was expressionless, and said slowly: "You can come and say goodbye to me, it is not in vain for us to have a relationship." We don't know when we'll be able to see each other again?"
Fang Ze said: "The juniors live in Guchenxuan in Jiangxi, and the seniors can go to Guchenxuan to find me at any time as long as they are willing." ”
The old man of the Snow Mountain said, "Gu Chenxuan? If I have a chance, I will definitely go to Gu Chenxuan to find you. ”
Fang Ze said: "The juniors welcome the seniors to be guests at Gu Chenxuan. ”
The senior sister of the old man in the snow mountain sighed and said, "Senior brother, don't you forget what you said?"
The old man of the snow mountain said: "Of course I will not forget the promise to my junior sister. ”
The senior sister of the old man of the Snow Mountain ignored the old man of the Snow Mountain, but looked at Fang Ze and said, "You want to leave the Snow Mountain?"
Fang Ze nodded and said, "Exactly, let's leave tomorrow." ”
The senior sister of the old man in the snow mountain said, "Can I let you do something for me?"
Fang Ze said: "Of course you can." ”
The senior sister of the old man in the snow mountain said, "Please find someone and tell him-"
The senior sister of the old man in the snow mountain suddenly shook her head and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, it's all over." ”
Hearing that the senior sister asked Fang Ze to do something, there was a murderous aura in the eyes of the old man of the Snow Mountain, and Fang Ze felt it, the person mentioned by the senior sister of the old man of the Snow Mountain made the old man of the Snow Mountain fluctuate a lot. Fang Ze didn't know who could move the old man of Snow Mountain, but it was no longer for him to think about it.
Fang Ze left the old man's residence in the Snow Mountain, he had a lot of thoughts, he was very envious of the old man in the Snow Mountain, how happy it was to be able to be by the side of the person he loved.
Fang Ze thought of himself again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, how should he face the things he should have faced seven years ago when he went back this time.
When Fang Ze came back, He Ying'er was standing in the snow and wandering back and forth, and when she saw Fang Ze coming back, she hurriedly said, "Brother Fang, something may have happened." ”
Fang Ze frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
He Ying'er said: "I don't know, just now Fifth Brother Gu came back and acted in a hurry, asked about Brother Yan Yan, and then left in a hurry." ”
Fang Ze said: "I thought what was the matter, how could you learn the gods and gods." ”
At this time, Gu Ximing came back, still holding Yan Yan in his arms, but Yan Yan couldn't speak anymore, and what he brought back was Yan Yan's corpse.
Gu Ximing came to Fang Ze, put Yan Yan's body in front of Fang Ze, and then knelt in front of Fang Ze, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, Ximing is incompetent. ”
Seeing Yan Yan's corpse, Fang Ze's heart was turbulent, although he had experienced too much life and death, he had never had any brother killed.
Fang Ze said slowly for a long time: "What's the matter?"
Gu Ximing said: "Big brother, do you know that there is a person living on the south peak of the top of the Snow Mountain in the past seven years?"
Fang Ze said: "I only know that on the top of this snow mountain, apart from us, there are only the old men of the snow mountain. ”
Gu Ximing said: "Today, Pan Xin and Yan Yan told me that there were people in Nanfeng, so Yan Yan took me to see it. He told me that the person who appeared on the south peak of the top of the snow-capped mountain felt very familiar, and I went first in a hurry, but when I came back, Yan Yan was gone. By the time I found him, Yan Yan had already been killed. ”
Fang Ze's face was ugly, and he said, "Then the person who lives on the South Peak of the Snow Mountain killed Yan Yan?"
Gu Ximing said: "I have fought with that person in Nanfeng, if he wants to kill us, I'm afraid I won't be able to appear in front of my eldest brother." ”
Fang Ze squatted down and looked at Yan Yan's wounds, there was only one wound, which was sealed by a sword.
Seeing the wound, Fang Ze's face changed, and he said, "Fifth brother, bury Yan Yan alive, I will definitely avenge this revenge." ”
Fang Ze's voice suddenly gave people a chilling feeling, and he said indifferently: "Are you ready for other things?"
Gu Ximing said: "It's ready." ”
Fang Ze didn't speak again, pushed the door and entered the house.
Early the next morning, the three of them left the top of the snow-capped mountain.
Gu Ximing said to Fang Ze: "Big brother, I have already asked Pan Xin to inform the sixth brother, they are waiting for the eldest brother at the Jianghu Inn of the Ouyang family." ”
Fang Ze nodded and said, "Sixth brother is fine, I haven't seen him for a long time." ”
Gu Ximing said: "I will be able to see the sixth brother soon, and there are other brothers, Gu Chenxuan's seven killings can get together again." ”
Fang Ze nodded and said, "Yes, I miss them too." As for Yan Yan's matter, I'll tell the sixth brother in person. ”
Fang Ze set foot in the rivers and lakes again after seven years, and sighed in his heart that he didn't know if the rivers and lakes in the past seven years were still the rivers and lakes of seven years ago.
Fang Zehe Ying'er Gu Ximing left from the Snow Mountain, the three of them would not know that on the South Peak of the Snow Mountain, there was a person looking at them and muttering: "Big brother and fifth brother, I wish you a smooth journey." ”
Fang Ze's departure, the old man of the Snow Mountain and her junior sister were also watching. The old man of the snow mountain said, "Why don't you let him go to the senior brother?"
The senior sister of the old man in the snow mountain said: "It's been so many years, why should I bother the senior brother." ”
The old man of the snow mountain said slowly: "I have liked you for nearly thirty years, and you have never been moved, and at this time, you still want to let the senior brother avenge him." ”
The junior sister of the old man in the snow mountain said: "We are the same family, why kill each other." ”
The old man of Snow Mountain laughed and said, "Senior sister, if you know who you call yourself Mr. Gu Xue, you may regret not letting him do this for you." ”
The senior sister of the old man in the snow mountain said, "Who is he?"
The old man of the Snow Mountain said: "He is a disciple of the senior brother, his name is Fang Ze, and he is also the only descendant of the Ghost Shadow Step. ”
The senior sister of the old man in the snow mountain said in surprise: "What? Why didn't you tell me before?"
The old man of the snow mountain said: "You asked me to leave the rivers and lakes, and I took you to the snow mountain." If you still think about the third senior brother, then I will tell you that the senior brother died seven years ago, and your third senior brother died in the world, and everyone in this life thinks that he is a disciple who deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors. ”
The senior sister of the old man in the snow mountain had a trembling voice and said, "Second senior brother, you are so ruthless, he is your junior brother of the same sect." ”
The senior sister of the old man of the snow mountain suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the old man of the snow mountain shouted: "Senior sister, junior sister." ”
The voice of the old man of the snow mountain shook the top of the entire snow mountain, but his junior sister could no longer hear it.
The Jianghu Inn is a place where the four major families come to receive the people from the rivers and lakes, and the Jianghu Inn that Fang Ze came to is managed by the Jiangxi Ouyang family.
When he came to the Jianghu Inn, Fang Ze looked up and saw the same as when he left seven years ago, the plaque was still so dazzling, with four golden characters "Jianghu Inn".
Jianghu Inn is in charge of two of the four elders of the Ouyang family here, namely Ouyang Meng, who ranks second, and Ouyang Jie, who ranks fourth, while Ouyang Lie, who ranks first, and Ouyang Xiong, who ranks third, guards the Biluo Villa of the Ouyang family.
There are two elders sitting in the Jianghu Inn, which shows that the Ouyang family attaches great importance to the Jianghu Inn. However, the people who can be received by the four great families in the rivers and lakes inns must be great people in the rivers and lakes.
Fang Ze was watching, and two people walked out of the inn, in front of him was a slender man, about the same age as Gu Ximing, and he was wearing a scimitar at his waist.
When this slender man saw Fang Ze and the three of them, he hurriedly came to Fang Ze, stepped forward to salute, and said excitedly: "Big brother, you are finally back." ”
This person is none other than Du Chong, the demon king who ranks sixth in seven killings, and it is Pan Xin who follows him.
Fang Ze hurriedly stepped forward to help Du Chong and said, "Sixth brother, has you always been good?"
Du Chong waited for this day for I don't know how many days and nights, and today I finally waited for Fang Ze to return to the rivers and lakes. Du Chong said: "Without my eldest brother, how good can I be." But now it's okay, I can follow the big brother again. ”
Du Chong had seen Gu Ximing and He Ying'er separately, but he didn't see Yan Yan's peers, and he was a little puzzled, so he turned his head and said to He Ying'er with a smile: "I haven't seen you for seven years, and the shadow girls have grown up." ”
Ying'er smiled and said, "Sixth Brother Du is old, can I not grow up?"
Du Chong laughed and said, "Time is not forgiving." ”
He Ying'er said: "Sixth brother, I heard that your windward sixteen slashes are very powerful, and I still want to learn it?"
Du Chong said with a smile: "I heard Pan Xin say that you have inherited the He family's sword technique, and I dare not compare with you in these small martial arts." ”
Fang Ze smiled and said, "I'll talk about these things later, let's go in first." ”
Du Chong said: "Big brother, please, everything has been arranged." ”
A few people talked and laughed and walked into the Jianghu Inn.
There are three or five tables of Jianghu characters in the Jianghu Inn, and because the Jianghu Inn is very spacious, it looks very deserted.
There are a few people who know Du Chong and say hello one after another, everyone in the seven killings of Gu Chenxuan has left a strong mark on the rivers and lakes, and their influence cannot be underestimated.
However, these people didn't care about Fang Ze and Gu Ximing, they were just curious about who could be worthy of Du Chong's personal greeting, even those who had seen them before would not think that Fang Ze would suddenly return to the rivers and lakes.
Du Chong said to Fang Ze: "As soon as I heard that my eldest brother was leaving the Snow Mountain, I made preparations, and the rooms were all arranged." ”
Fang Ze nodded and said, "Then let's go back to the room first, I have something I want to talk to you about." ”
Du Chong immediately asked Pan Xin to bring the others into one room, while he took Fang Ze into another room.
Waiting for Du Chong to close the door, Fang Ze said: "I didn't tell anyone else the news of my return, right?"
Du Chong said: "I didn't tell anyone, not even Liuhuai." ”
Fang Ze said: "Seventh brother, he's okay, you should be able to meet often?"
Du Chong said: "The seventh brother often comes to see me, and we often mention the eldest brother. ”
Fang Ze said: "You haven't seen Yan Yan, don't you think it's strange?"
Du Chong said: "It's a little strange, did the eldest brother ask him to do something else?"
Fang Ze said in a low voice: "No, he died in the Snow Mountain." ”
Du Chong was shocked and said, "How is it possible? Pan Xin came back and said that everyone was fine. ”
Fang Ze said: "This matter is to blame, I haven't paid attention to anything for seven years, and I don't even know what people are in the snow mountain." ”
Du Chong said: "Big brother, how can I blame you." Pan Xin Yanyan has followed me for many years, and they are all my good brothers, and I must avenge this revenge. How did Yan Yan die?"
Fang Ze nodded and said, "When Ximing found him, he was already dead, and his throat was sealed by a sword. ”
Du Chong said: "Big brother, do you have any clues about this matter?"
Fang Ze said: "I have examined Yan Yan's wounds, this person is quick and ruthless, and Yan Yan died in the hands of the ghost sword. ”
Du Chong said: "What? Xiao Family Ghost Sword?"
Fang Ze said: "Yes, the Xiao family's ghost sword." ”
Waiting for Fang Ze and Du Chong to appear in the house, the others were chatting enthusiastically.
Seeing Fang Ze and Du Chong walk in, the others all stopped laughing, because they were expressionless and serious in both of them.
Fang Ze and Du Chong sat down, and Fang Ze said: "After seven years, Fang Ze will return to the rivers and lakes, and the brothers will still be able to follow, Fang Ze would like to thank you here." ”
Gu Ximing said: "Why did the eldest brother say this, our Seven Killing Brothers will follow the eldest brother at any time." - Speaking of the other brothers, what about the other brothers of the sixth brother?"
Du Chong said: "I haven't told anyone about the eldest brother's reappearance, and I have only heard about the whereabouts of the other brothers. ”
Gu Ximing said: "Haven't you seen them in the past seven years?"
Du Chong smiled bitterly: "Since the battle of the Seven Star Cliff seven years ago, the eldest brother rescued the shadow girl and left the rivers and lakes. Jing Fo Tan was injured by Xiaoyao Sect because he saved the third brother, and the third brother actually followed Master Guangci back to Jing Fo Tan, and there was no news of the third brother in the future. ”
Fang Ze frowned and said, "How could someone from the Easy Sect appear in the Seven Star Cliff?"
Du Chong said: "I don't know the specifics, it is said that one of the protectors of the Xiaoyao Sect went to the Seven Star Cliff and was met by the third brother, and Master Jing Buddha Tan Guangci took a few disciples to save the third brother, but Jing Buddha Tan was injured by the protector of the Xiaoyao Sect. ”
Gu Ximing said: "Why is the Seven Star Cliff still colluding with the Xiaoyao Sect?"
Fang Ze said: "Fifth brother, I believe that Brother Gao's personality cannot be speculated. ”
Du Chong said: "This matter is not very clear, but the protector of the Xiaoyao Sect did appear in the Seven Star Cliff back then. ”
He Ying'er said: "Uncle Gao will definitely not collude with the Xiaoyao Sect, even if he colludes with the Xiaoyao Sect, the Xiaoyao Sect is better than the four great families." ”
Gu Ximing snorted coldly and said, "It's all a raccoon dog." ”
Fang Ze said: "Okay, I'll figure this thing out." However, I believe that Brother Gao, he will definitely not have any connection with the Xiaoyao Sect. ”
Du Chong said: "The second brother heard that the third brother went to Jingfo Tan, the eldest brother left the rivers and lakes, and I heard that he also went to Jingfo Tan, but I haven't heard of him again." The seventh brother is the simplest and has been staying in the Ouyang family. Only the fourth brother has not had any news since the battle of the Seven Star Cliff. ”
Fang Ze said slowly: "Is there any news about Su Su?"
Du Chong said: "Since the battle under the Seven Star Cliff, Miss Susu has not had any news. ”
Gu Ximing said slowly: "I think that no news is the best news now, the Susu girl is auspicious, and she will be safe and sound." ”
Fang Ze didn't react at all, and continued to ask, "How is the Seven Star Cliff now?"
Du Chong said: "Since the battle seven years ago, the Seven Star Cliff has also suffered heavy losses, especially the killing of the four masters of the Seven Star Cliff, He Yidao, but the Seven Star Cliff and the four major families have no movement, and the rivers and lakes are also peaceful. ”
He Ying'er listened to what Du Chong said, drank all the glass of wine in front of her, choked on the wine in her throat and coughed.
Only then did Du Chong remember that He Yidao's daughter He Ying'er was also there, and realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Fang Ze said: "Shadow, what's wrong with you?"
It took a long time for He Ying'er to stop coughing, and said in a choked voice: "Brother Fang, I want to go up to the Seven Star Cliff to pay tribute to my father." ”
Fang Ze nodded and said, "Since you are back, you should go to pay tribute to your father, and I will also tell your father that you have grown up." ”
He Ying'er said: "Brother Fang is willing to accompany me to the Seven Star Cliff, that's great." ”
At this moment, the door was broken open from the outside, and a big man broke in drunk.
Du Chong stood up and shouted, "Don't get out yet." ”
Dahan looked at Du Chong and said, "I know you, aren't you Du Chong of the Seven Killings?"
Du Chong said coldly: "I'm in a good mood today, seeing that you are drunk, I don't have the same knowledge as you, and I don't go out." ”
Dahan said: "I don't go out, how can you bear with me?"
As soon as the words fell, Fang Ze held a pair of chopsticks in his hand, and with a flick of his hand, a pair of chopsticks headed towards the big man, passing through the two ears of the big man, and the blood instantly flowed into the big man's neck.
The startled man suddenly woke up, and Fang Ze said coldly: "I haven't seen you for a few years, any cat or dog dares to come to us to spread wild." ”
Dahan looked at Fang Ze, Fang Ze's eyes were full of murderous aura, and he was so frightened that Dahan retreated again and again, and climbed directly down from the railing outside.
Fang Ze said: "I want to let the rivers and lakes immediately know that Gu Chenxuan's seven killings have reappeared in the rivers and lakes." ”
Du Chong said: "Big brother, this kind of thing will not happen again. ”
Du Chong said, walking towards the door, ready to close the door.
But as soon as I arrived at the door, a cold wind blew outside and blew into the house, making people feel a little cold.
Du Chong couldn't help but be shocked and said, "It's still here." ”
Gu Ximing said: "What's coming?"
Du Chong said: "I heard that it was the Mobei Sword Demon and the Spear God who jointly paid homage to the Ouyang family, presumably the Mobei Sword Demon and the Spear God arrived." ”
Fang Ze said: "The four great families have always had nothing to do with Mobei, why would the Sword Demon and the Spear God visit for no reason, let's go out and have a look." ”
Fang Ze had doubts in his heart, stood up and walked towards the door. Fang Ze came to the railing on the second floor, looked down, and saw that there was no longer the atmosphere of pushing the cup and changing the lamp just now, because a sedan chair broke into it from the outside.
Yes, it was a palanquin, carried by eight men, all four of whom carried a sword in the front and a spear in each of the four behind. The sedan chair stopped steadily in the center of the hall of the Jianghu Inn.
Gu Ximing came to Du Chong's side and said in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
Du Chong said: "Originally, I wanted to say it in advance, but I didn't have time." Recently, the Ouyang family has taken action because of the letters of the sword demon and the gun god, Mobei has no contact with the Ouyang family, and the Ouyang family thinks that the sword demon and the gun god are not good. ”
Gu Ximing said: "Do you know who from the Ouyang family will come?"
Du Chong said: "This is not very clear, Mobei wrote for no reason, it is indeed incredible, presumably the Ouyang family has also made preparations." ”
Gu Ximing said: "Now go down and see what the situation is." ”
Du Chong hurriedly descended the stairs and came to the hall on the first floor.
The hall on the first floor gathered dozens of Jianghu figures, many of whom knew Du Chong. A slender man hugged his fist at Du Chong and said, "Sixth Master Du." ”
Du Chong nodded and said, "What's the matter?"
Another rough man said: "It seems that the person who came is not good, it should be a person from the Mobei Sword Cave." ”
These two people in the rivers and lakes are relatively close to the Ouyang family, the slender man is Zhao Gan with two swords, and the rough man is the drunken King Kong Liu Peng, both of whom are first-class masters in the rivers and lakes.
Liu Peng said again: "Mobei Sword Demon Hatred Tu and Gun God Zheng Tong are both the leading figures in Mobei, and I don't know why they came to invade the four great families. ”
Du Chong said: "No matter who it is, the Ouyang family can handle it easily. ”
The man who went to the room to make trouble just now came out after bandaging his wounds, saw Du Chong at a glance, and walked towards Du Chong.
The strong man came to Du Chong and snorted coldly: "If something happens, Seven Kills can't help, it's really a joke to want to rely on you." ”
Du Chong's face turned pale, and he shouted angrily: "Who are you, who came to me today for trouble with Gu Chenxuan?"
The strong man laughed and said, "Today, let's see if you are strong in seven killings, or if my master is better." ”
Du Chong said: "Who is your master?"
The strong man said: "Then you can listen well, my master Jiangbei Yuan Yuchen." ”
Hearing Yuan Yuchen's name, the people around him were in an uproar, Yuan Yuchen, the son of Jiangbei, can be said to be the most prestigious figure in Jiangbei martial arts, but he didn't expect that the owner of this strong man turned out to be Yuan Yuchen, no wonder he dared to provoke Du Chong.
Du Chong sneered: "It turns out that Jiangbei Yuan Gongzi is here, it seems that these people in Mobei can only return in vain." ”
The strong man said proudly: "That's nature." ”
Du Chong ignored the strong man anymore and went upstairs to see Fang Ze.
Du Chong came to Fang Ze's side and said, "It's not surprising that these people in Mobei are just now, it's just that the man who made trouble just now claimed that his master was Yuan Yuchen of Jiangbei. ”
Fang Ze frowned and said, "Jiangbei Yuan Yuchen is also here, it seems that there is a good show to watch today." ”
Gu Ximing said: "Jiangbei Yuan Yuchen, although this person is famous in Jiangbei, he is also righteous and evil, obedient and elusive, what is the purpose of his coming?"
Fang Ze said: "I didn't expect this river and lake to be so interesting. - Who is here from the Ouyang family?"
Du Chong said: "This is very strange, no one from the Ouyang family has appeared. ”
In the hall on the first floor of the Jianghu Inn, the two young men with swords on their backs lifted the sedan curtain, and a person inside slowly walked out, and everyone's eyes were focused on the person who came out of the sedan chair.
