A person was already walking unsteadily, and was almost staggered and pushed by several eunuchs and brought in,

A bloody man, with shackles on his feet and hands, is clearly a repeat offender.

The autumn sun of October has passed, noon is no longer due south, the sun is already very west, the slanting sun shines in from outside the door, shining on this person, shining on the blood all over his body is emitting red light, so red that even the bone marrow has been cold, but the person has not fallen down but the smell is overflowing.

Blood flowed from seventeen or eighteen places at the same time, on the top of the head, in the nose, in the ears, in the eyes, in the mouth, in the throat, on the chest, on the wrists, on the knees, and on both shoulders.

Even Ouyang Qing had never seen so many wounds on a person's body, which was simply unimaginable.

The man saw him, too, and suddenly rushed in front of him, and grabbed him by the shoulders with a pair of hands that had been stained red with blood, and there was a "gege" sound in his throat, as if he wanted to say something.

But he didn't even say a word, and his throat was burned by chili water.

Ouyang Qing looked at his hideous and distorted face, and suddenly lost his voice and exclaimed: "Gao Jianli!"

Gao Jianli's bloodied eyes were full of anxiety, fear, anger, and hatred, and he slowly fell down holding Ouyang Qing's hand.

The sunlight also shone obliquely from the window, shining on Ouyang Qing's murderous face.

Bao Ziyun sat on his spacious and comfortable Taishi chair, the weather was not cold, but he was wearing a tiger skin.

Bao Ziyun looked at Ouyang Qing and said impatiently: "You are my father-in-law, I have said it many times, Wen Xing is a womanizer, what is so strange about raping a palace maid in the palace? It stands to reason that we should be killed on the spot, just to see your face, we put him in prison, I didn't expect him to commit suicide, what can I ......do?"

Ouyang Qing didn't care about his identity at this time, he grabbed Bao Ziyun by his neck, and said sharply: "Your little trick can deceive others, but you can't deceive me." We both serve the Heavenly Demons, and I don't care about you. Within three days, for Wen Xing's rehabilitation, all those who participated in the framing of Wen Xing will be beheaded, otherwise I will kill you!"

As he spoke, he threw Bao Ziyun to the ground.

Bao Ziyun lost his previous sincerity, touched his buttocks, and said with a smile: "You really pay attention to brotherhood." I don't know if you are so affectionate to Luo Bing and Lu Changfeng?"

There was a crisp sound, and the table in the study split in two. Ouyang Qing held the Flying Fish Sword in his hand, his eyes were almost burning, and his whole person was like thunder: "Don't really force me, if I make a move, don't say that you big internal characters, even the Heavenly Demons, can't protect you." ”

He kicked the door and walked away in a rage.

The sinister smile on Bao Ziyun's face never dissipated, and he looked at the Heavenly Demon and said, "This Ouyang Qing is getting more and more excessive, Lord Heavenly Demon, if you don't treat him, he will definitely climb on your head!"

Heavenly Demon said lightly: "Now he is the top three masters in my account, and he is of great use, do you want to harm me?"

Bao Ziyun smiled and said: "How dare I, but I'm really afraid that this Ouyang Qing will suddenly rebel and rob you of your position......" The Heavenly Demon's tone was still flat: "The most important thing for us at the moment is to ensure your status, you must keep a low profile, don't do this and that all day long, you really don't remember how Yu Chaoen died?" Are you sure you can bring down Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, the old foxes?"

Bao Ziyun nodded again and again, indicating that he would never forget the teachings of the Heavenly Demons and that he would not cause trouble.

Suddenly, someone at the door coughed heavily, Bao Ziyun looked up in horror, but found Rong Ku standing far away in front of the door. Heavenly Demon said: "It's really not easy for Venerable to come. ”

When Bao Ziyun saw the Heavenly Demons, he lost all his fears and faced them with a smile.

Rong Ku said in his heart: "This group of eunuchs who have no one to support in their lives, their courage has improved, and they lost their mother." ”

Stepping in slowly, he said, "I heard that you are doing a big thing in Luoyang, I don't know if you need me to help?"

The Heavenly Demon was overjoyed and said, "If you are willing to help, great things will definitely be accomplished." I haven't seen you all these days, where have you been?"

Rong Ku groaned: "Together with Lu Changfeng Luo Bing, I have never had time to contact you. Today, Luo Bing was drinking in the hotel, and Lu Changfeng went into the city to hang out, so I got the opportunity. ”

Heavenly Demon smiled: "This matter is not in a hurry, you follow Lu Changfeng and Luo Bing, I will find a way to find you when I need it, you don't have to come to see me alone, take such an unnecessary risk." ”

Rong Ku nodded and said, "There is one more thing I have to tell you." ”

Heavenly Demon said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Rong Ku hesitated: "I didn't kill Hu Miji. ”

The Heavenly Demon didn't react, just jumped a few times inadvertently out of the corner of his eye, and then smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, her life and death have nothing to do with the overall situation." ”

Rong Ku smiled calmly and retreated first.

Bao Ziyun said in a low voice: "Hu Miji is not dead, didn't he lie to you before Rong Ku?"

Heavenly Demon said lightly: "Rong Ku doesn't know who Hu Miji is me, and it's normal not to kill him." On the contrary, if he can confess the matter, then it is credible. ”

Bao Ziyun frowned and said, "That'...... Where do we find prosperity and withering?"

The Heavenly Demon smiled and said, We have been friends for decades, and he will naturally appear when needed.

There are seven major schools in martial arts, only the head of Emei in recent decades is a woman, and Emei has been a female disciple since the "Heavenly Remnant" Hua Shitai took over. Since then, although the talents of Emei's disciples have gradually declined, there is no scum, because these people have strictly adhered to the admonitions of Hua Shitai, and they are extremely strict in selecting apprentices, and they would rather lack than abuse.

The senior sister of Mrs. Tianhua is also the head of Emei, Qiu Shuzhen, who has a great relationship with the famous heroine Red Line Girl, and is also inseparable from the hero Tiemoller.

The Emei faction was the most prosperous in the autumn Shuzhen, and there were more than 300 disciples under the sect, but after the Tianshan Demon Eradication War, there were only three disciples, and the justice of Emei has been known to the world since then.

When Tiemol died, he wanted to entrust Gu to Qiu Shuzhen, but Qiu Shuzhen also died in this battle, but he was unable to support Gu, and he was catching up with the red-line girl to go up the mountain and wrap Tiemoller's son away at the top of the mountain.

At that time, Lu Changfeng was only thirteen years old.

Seven years later, Lu Changfeng Shi out of the red line woman, civil and military all-rounder, and admitted to the Jinshi into the Dali Temple as an errand, after taking office, he led the Dali Temple to fight with the Black Tiger Mountain Liu Heihu, and once again fought with Shi Siming's rebel general Shi Gong Vulture, and killed Shi Gong Eagle to become famous.

Since this battle, no matter whether people in the rivers and lakes or not, they have called Lu Changfeng a "judge" and a judge of justice.

At dusk, occasionally a few autumn leaves fall in the wind, and green grass warblers are everywhere.

A small river like a jade belt surrounds a small hill.

The sunset reflects the slow river, the river slowly goes east, and occasionally there is a small boat parked at the ferry, and there is actually a curling smoke rising from the boat, as if it is an ink mountain scroll.

Lu Changfeng said slowly: "Turning over the small river in front of you, it is Fengpo, which is the place where my master lives in seclusion." He lived in this land for many years when he was a teenager, and now he can't help but feel a lot of emotion when he revisits his old place.

Rong Ku said in his heart: "This old woman is said to be close to a fairy-like character, but you have to take a good look at this legendary character." Approaching Luo Bing, he lowered his throat and said, "This fairy-like character, I'm afraid I can't see it in my life." Luo Bing smiled indifferently, full of respect, and said, "Let's be polite." ”

The four of them crossed the picturesque river, and in the way they went, they saw several small thatched huts on the side of the road in front of them, and the wooden signs on the houses read "Fengpo".

Although the words are soft and just like a woman's handwriting, the end of the convergence contains infinite sword intent, and it has a soaring heroism, which makes people almost can't help but purse their lips and howl when they see it, and express their hearts.

Lu Changfeng's eyes were full of red frames, and he stood quietly for a moment, and then shouted, "Master, I'm back!"

Luo Bing and Rong Ku glanced at each other, and both of them lowered their hands and were silent.

"Squeak......" The wooden door slowly opened. Luo Bing and Rong Ku approached each other, but they were both a little nervous.

There was a bamboo curtain hanging on the window, the bamboo curtain was half rolled, and the setting sun shone into the wooden house, and an old woman with gray hair sat on a rosewood chair in the middle.

She held a dragon's head crutch in her right hand, twisted a string of Buddhist beads in her left hand, silently recited Buddhist scriptures, a round and thin face, a pair of eyes half-open and half-closed, between opening and closing, the essence of light burst out, no one dared to force the look.

But her face was full of kindness, and she sat upright, her whole body tattooed up and down, like a stone statue that had been sitting there since time immemorial.

She was very thin, but she had an indescribable majesty, and whoever looked at her would even lower her voice.

There was also a very beautiful girl beside her, a Svenwen, delicate and graceful, always with her head down, as if she was ashamed to see a living person.

A majestic but kind-faced old man, a vigorous and shy girl.

Lu Changfeng was already excited, and he knelt on the ground: "Master!"

The old man's eyes did not open, but his mouth showed a smile, and he motioned to the girl next to him to help Lu Changfeng up, and said, "After so many years, I finally came back." ”

Seeing Hu Miji and the others behind Lu Changfeng, he asked again, "Who are these people?"

Lu Changfeng pointed at Luo Bing and Rong Ku and said, "These two are friends of the apprentices. ”

When he pointed to Hu Miji, he paused, and then said, "This ...... Also my friend. ”

The old man smiled, "It seems that she has been pregnant for a few months. After glancing at Lu Changfeng, he didn't say anything.

His gaze turned to Luo Bing and said, "I didn't expect Chu Zhao and Brother Xian to accept a disciple." At a young age, he is close to the realm of watching the sword, which is rare. ”

Luo Bing exclaimed: "How can the seniors know about my teacher?"

The old man opened a pair of shining eyes, then closed them again, and said with a faint smile: "You are full of Wudang authentic inner family strength, although you are not in the state of having a sword in your heart, but Wudang's soft energy can also be regarded as Fang Yuan's abbot is not allowed to enter the body, how can I not feel it." ”

After speaking, he motioned to the little girl to serve each of them a cup of tea, lit a Tibetan incense, and the room suddenly had a more peaceful atmosphere.

It's quiet, but it's also dark. The tea is misty and misty, and I don't know if it's smoke, fog, or hazy tears.

Luo Bing was in hot pursuit, and said in surprise: "What is Fang Yuan?"

The old man took a sip of tea and said slowly: "People in the world practice martial arts, which can be divided into physical training, qi training, and martial arts swordsmanship is heart training, a total of three kinds. But if you cultivate to the extreme, you will step into the realm of having a sword or not having a sword. For example, your master, who has an indifferent temperament, is towards the realm of the sword in his chest, and I have always been competitive, and it is my pursuit to have a sword everywhere. ”

Luo Bing asked, "Can you ask the seniors to make it clear?"

The old man said: "Wonderful infiltration and creation, no sword and no self, no trace to be found, no indestructible!" Seeing that Luo Bing was still at a loss, he said, "You have to see that kind of thing before you are willing to admit its value, but you don't know that the value of what you can't see is much higher than what you can see." ”

The five of them sat down separately, and the old man smiled at Rong Ku and said, "You must be Mei Lingzi's disciple, and he has taught you all the internal skills of Kongtong's unique family." ”

Mei Changqing was stunned and said, "What are you doing with this?"

Mei Changqing is usually unruly, but at the moment she is much more patient and has heard a lot of things from the old man.

Luo Bing raised his head and saw a pair of words hanging on the wall, and couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't this a pair of calligraphy?"

Look at the 14 words written on it, "3,000 guests are drunk with flowers, and 14 states are frosty with a sword", the penmanship is vigorous, not only is it a wonderful cursive script, but also full of deep meaning, containing a deep meaning.

Luo Bing blurted out words of admiration: "Good words!"

After nagging for a while, the old man stood up and suddenly said, "Changfeng, you and this girl go out for a walk with me." ”

The three of them went out. Seeing this, Luo Bing didn't have a moment to stay, glanced at Mei Changqing, and impatiently flipped the calligraphy on the wall to see what pattern was on the back.

The back turned out to be a painting, in which was a slender figure, graceful figure, and a beautiful woman wearing a plain white shirt. That beauty was just like when Luo Bing first saw Hu Miji, covered with a pale white veil. Faintly revealing the face wheel corridor, it is really amazingly beautiful, as mysterious as a peony in the smoke, as fresh as a hibiscus out of the water. The beauty raised her slender fingers slightly, lifted the half-angle light veil, and slightly exposed the jade crystal chin.

Mei Changqing was dumbfounded, and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, more beautiful than Hu Miji outside." This person really looks like Hu Miji. ”

Luo Bing's heart seemed to be caught, silent, and said for a long time: "It's more similar to Xue Bing." ”

Mei Changqing had never seen Xue Bing, looked at the portrait fixedly, and recalled: "It seems that you are right, but I have never seen Xue Bing...... It's really strange, the paper of this painting is yellowed, to say the least it has been thirty or forty years, naturally it is impossible to paint Hu Miji or Xue Bing, but the person in the painting, Hu Miji, Xue Bing, the three people seem to be somewhat similar. ”

Luo Bing said: "I don't know if it's the young Red Line Woman or the young Xue Bing Woman?"

Mei Changqing shook her head and said: "The person in the painting is too temperamental and too beautiful. ”

The woman in this painting, although there are only a few brushstrokes, but the eyebrows are like eyebrows, lifelike, it is really the best in the world, the woman in this painting is the same person as the woman he saw covered in blood in the cave of the Tianshan Mountains when he was a teenager.

The four walls of the Red Line Woman's house are gloomy, only this one is a word on the front and a painting on the back, which shows that she must never forget this woman.

Mei Changqing stared at Luo Bing with her eyes and said, "Do you recognize her?"

sighed and said with a wry smile: "I don't recognize her, fortunately I don't recognize her, but she looks too much like Xue Bing Woman." ”

The wooden door of the hut is ajar. A faint fragrance, surrounded from inside and outside, and on the huge ancient cypress branches, there was an unknown bird, but it seemed to be asleep, curled up motionless.

At the water's edge outside the courtyard, there were occasional waves crashing on the shore, and there was a loud noise.

Everything is quiet and silent.

The red-line woman took Lu Changfeng and Hu Miji to the faint jade rabbit, as if she was afraid of stepping on this quiet loneliness, and her steps involuntarily lightened.

At this time, the powerful and gentle voice had slowly said again: "You are so far away and so anxious, there must be something wrong, or is there something unspeakable?"

With an oops, an unknown bird startled, and the leaves trembled.

Lu Changfeng looked at the mountains in the distance, his heart was depressed, it was a grievance hidden in his heart, and now in front of the master, his eyes were red and he couldn't help himself.

Although the Red Line Woman had her back to the door, although she did not move, her noble and gentle posture had made Hu Miji almost stupid unconsciously.

She never thought that an old lady with gray hair, simple and elegant behavior, and a petite and somewhat rickety back would have such great charm.

The Red Line Woman still said in that old and gentle voice: "Changfeng, are you very tired?"

Lu Changfeng let out a long sigh, serious tears had already flowed out, and shouted: "Master!"

The Red Line Woman glanced at her beloved apprentice, and slowly continued: "The pinnacle of being a man is to do good deeds without asking about the future, I don't know how much you understand." The real pinnacle of martial arts is to be able to infiltrate the creation of magic, to the point of selflessness, selflessness and forgetfulness, then it is really omnipresent and invincible!"

Speaking of this, Lu Changfeng and Hu Miji's faces couldn't help but change color, Hu Miji didn't understand much, but Lu Changfeng's forehead was already shining.

Lu Changfeng said: "After listening to your old man's words, I suddenly remembered a story. ”

The Red Line Woman said kindly, "Tell me about it?"

Lu Changfeng said: "When the Fifth Patriarch Huineng Zen preached, he once said to the Buddha: 'The body is like a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, and it is always diligent to wipe and not leave dust'. This is already a very profound Buddhist teaching. ”

The red-line woman said: "This truth is like selflessness, life has come to this point, it is not easy. ”

Hu Miji smiled and continued: "But the Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng said it even better: 'Bodhi is not a tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where does the dust fall'." That's why he inherited the mantle of the five ancestors. ”

The red-line woman said: "Yes, this is really the wonderful meaning of Zen Buddhism, and at this point, it is truly the realm of immortals and Buddhas." ”

Hu Miji said curiously: "In this way, the true meaning of learning martial arts, literature, Taoism, and Zen is not the same as Zen Buddhism?"

The red-line woman said: "The sun is shining, everything is everything, and when it comes to the peak, the truth is almost the same." ”

Lu Changfeng said: "So no matter what you do, you must achieve 'no one without me, and everything and I forget', so that we can truly reach the realm of transformation and reach the peak." ”

The red-line woman said: "The truth is like this, but it's a pity that everyone is blinded." ”

Lu Changfeng sighed and said, "I finally know something now, and it can't be considered too late!"

The red-line woman said lightly: "A person always lives to learn, even if he can't move and collapses on the bed, as long as he can take a look, it's good." ”

Lu Changfeng said: "It is not easy for a person to do this step, it is quite difficult for ordinary people to do this step, and it is easier to do it, why is it difficult to do it?"

A gentle breeze blew, rustling the leaves.

Hu Miji looked up at the clear blue night sky, a tear ran down the corner of her eye, and she didn't know if she was sad or regretful.

Lu Changfeng had been standing there quietly, with no expression on his face.

But his mind was in turmoil.

The biggest weakness in his life is that his heart is too soft, and sometimes although he knows that this thing must not be done, he still can't harden his heart to refuse.

A lot of people know about his weakness, and a lot of people are taking advantage of it.

He knew it himself, but he still couldn't change it.

He would rather let people be sorry for him 10,000 times than do something sorry for others once, and sometimes he even knows that others are lying to him, but he still would rather be deceived. Because he felt that as long as one person told him the truth, the price of his sacrifice would be worth it.

Lu Changfeng is such a person, whether you say that he is a gentleman or a villain, at least he is always unforgettable when you meet him in your life.

Therefore, Hu Miji shed tears of emotion and gratitude.

"It's a pity that smart people often do stupid things. ”

This is a priceless sentence said by the Red Line Woman!
