Before going to bed, everyone agreed to take turns to watch the night, one for safety, and the other for guarding the bonfire, adding some firewood for warmth.

At this time, the vigil was Dao Xueke and Liu Yuanjun. The Blade Snow Ke added enough firewood to make sure the fire would burn until dawn. When Liu Yuanjun saw him standing up, he stared into his eyes and said, "Where are you going?" ”

Dao Xueke smiled and said, "The stone room is too boring, I want to go out for a walk." There is Senior Sister Lao here. With that, he turned and walked out of the stone chamber, and came into the courtyard full of snow and stones, and let the wind and snow gently lap on his face, and he seemed to enjoy the moment of tranquility. Familiar places, familiar winds, familiar snow, familiar moons.

The silver-white disc occupied a small half of the sky, but it occupied the entire heart of Dao Xueke.

He jumped onto the roof, the structure of the library was the most sophisticated and sturdy in the Hakka Mountain Villa, so the basic skeleton was still there, but the roof was already covered with snow, and it was very slippery. Blade Snowman swept out a small clean area and sat down. The snowflakes fell on his shoulders, turned into water, and soaked a small piece of his clothes, and the knife snowman half-tilted his head, quietly looking at the moon.

"What are you thinking?" Liu Yuanjun's voice suddenly sounded behind Dao Xueke.

Dao Xueke turned his head and sighed, but a smile appeared on his face: "I knew that Senior Sister would definitely follow." Liu Yuanjun sat next to Dao Xueke and asked softly, "I finally told everything today, do you feel better?"

Dao Xueke smiled: "Indeed, there is a kind of relaxation for no reason. ”

"There are some things that you have to find someone to talk to, and you always carry them yourself, how much can you carry, how long can you carry them, and one day you will crush yourself. If you can have someone who can listen to you in life, it is a kind of happiness. Liu Yuanjun tilted his head, gently holding the scattered green silk, his black hair glowed with silver white under the moonlight, and danced in the wind and snow, which was beautiful.

Dao Xueke said: "Happiness? What is happiness? In this bloody and bloody rivers and lakes, is there still happiness at all?" Liu Yuan Junfang was about to speak, but Dao Xueke continued, "I thought that we could live a stable life in Kexue Mountain Villa for the rest of our lives, Daddy, Uncle Quan, Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, and thirty-four senior brothers and sisters, that is a kind of happiness." But ten years ago, a fire burned my so-called happiness to ashes. I thought I would live for revenge for the rest of my life, but I met my senior sister and got acquainted with Xiaoli, Baiyi, and Xiao Tang Master, and later met Miss Zhu, Ren Gongzi. If this life is arranged by people themselves, it will be boring. ”

"When will this feud end......

The wind and snow rolled the remnant leaves and fell, and the knife snowman reached out to catch the snowflakes, and a dark red dead leaf fell on his palm with the wind and snow.

"Where are these autumn leaves going?"

"Go with the wind and snow. ”

"Isn't there no freedom to go away with the wind and snow?"

"No, it's naturally free. ”

"Is it freedom to be arranged?"

"If the heart is free, what if the body is trapped?"

"Where is the heart going?"

"The heart is with the mind, and the mind moves with the emotion. ”

"Where's the home?"

"Far away, close at hand. ”

"Is there no return? Do you want to wander all over the world and be alone?"

"There is wind, snow, moon, and red leaves, how can you talk about loneliness?"

"But the wind and snow will subside, the cold moon will finally fall, and the red leaves have withered. ”

"The wind and snow will rise again, the cold moon will be in the sky every night, and the red leaves will be reborn on the ground, all of this is just a reincarnation. ”

"After reincarnation, there is nothing. ”

"It is because there is nothing that you can regain it. ”

"The autumn leaves have drifted away. ”

"I hope it can find a piece of land, bury it in the wind and snow, and pay tribute to the cold moon. ”

"Is this what you expected? Blizzard will eventually bury the autumn leaves, is this fate?"

"Do you believe in fate?"

"Believing in fate is stubbornness. Not believing in fate is cowardice. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The rivers and lakes are chaotic, if this is a snowstorm. You and I are all these red leaves, swaying with the wind, and I don't know how to return. When the body is bright and decayed, the flying snow hides the glitz of life, the fallen leaves return to the roots, and the red leaves are buried. I dare not admit that it is a kind of cowardice, obsessed with life, but it is a kind of stubbornness. ”

"So you've figured it out. ”

"Actually, I know better than anyone else. ”

"When?"

"Now. ”

"Isn't it too late?"

"It's never too late to really understand. ”

"Forever?"

"Forever!"

"Really?"

"Really!"

After repeated questions and answers, Liu Yuanjun already knew what Dao Xueke was thinking, and the heart he had been hanging for him was let go. The two of them just sat and watched the snow-covered sky and the lonely cold moon.

And Luo Baiyi in the stone room was still asleep, he was just straighter, not really heartless. Rao Mengli beside him has been half-asleep, opened his eyes slightly, and saw that Liu Yuanjun and Dao Xueke were gone, thinking that they must have gone out, with the martial arts of the two of them, it should be no big problem, Rao Mengli is also relieved, but some want to go out to see, under the entanglement, it is better to give up. I had to sleep for a while and wait for them to come back.

And Zhu Qingqiu in the corner also woke up quietly.

"Are you awake?" Ren Shanhuai's voice suddenly sounded, startling Zhu Qingqiu and Rao Mengli.

Zhu Qingqiu stabilized his mind and asked, "You haven't slept all the time?"

It turned out that Ren Shanhuai had been quietly looking at Zhu Qingqiu, and he only smiled when he heard the words: "The story of Dao Xueke is over, you should also tell your story?"

Zhu Qingqiu smiled: "In the teahouse that day, what the concubine said wasn't enough? Could it be that Ren Gongzi thinks that what the concubine said is just a lie." ”

Ren Shanhuai shook his head and said, "I don't want to know if the story you tell is a lie, I just want to know your heart." ”

"My heart ......" Zhu Qingqiu didn't understand the meaning of Ren Shanhuai's words for a while, "What do you mean by this?"

Zhu Qingqiu didn't understand, but Rao Mengli had already snickered in her heart: "It turns out that Ren Gongzi has already devoted himself to Sister Zhu, but he is a talented woman and a beautiful woman. ”

Ren Shanhuai asked puzzledly: "With your intelligence, it is impossible for you not to see it." Are you still desperate to do things that should be done without illness?"

Rao Mengli heard it in her ears, and she was so shocked that she suddenly opened her eyes, but fortunately, she was facing away from Ren Shanhuai and the others, so she was not discovered. She steadied herself and listened carefully to their conversation, but her body was already trembling slightly. Rao Mengli thought to herself: "Ying Wuji, Ying Wuji, isn't it the Tanglin King who snatched the Jade Buddha and plotted against him? How could Sister Zhu and Ren Gongzi be Ying Wuji's subordinates." Impossible, impossible. ”

Zhu Qingqiu said plainly and perfunctorily: "How can you not repay the grace of parenting?"

"But he never raised you from beginning to end, he was just a hypocrite, he has been using you!" Ren Shanhuai said helplessly in a low voice.

Zhu Qingqiu let out a long sigh and turned his head and asked, "What about you? What can you do? You should know the consequences of disobeying him." ”

Ren Shanhuai actually blocked his mouth with a question behind his back, and he was speechless for a while. He also knew that he had received a great favor from him, and although he knew that he had other plans, he had to do something for him. It's one thing to repay gratitude, but the end of violating the promise is unimaginable.

There was another sound of footsteps in the dark passage, and Ren Shanhuai and Zhu Qingqiu hurriedly fell asleep again. Rao Mengli was in pain when she heard the conversation between the two just now, and she didn't know whether she should reveal the identities of the two to Dao Xueke, but she was afraid that there was no substantial evidence to prove that the two were Ying Wu's subordinates, so she decided not to startle the snake, wait for some time, and secretly watch out for them.

Dao Xueke and Liu Yuanjun returned to the stone room, and everyone rested quietly for the night, and there was no incident.

Yaoye Mansion, Congjian Mountain, among the Yiye Sword Gate.

You Jinwen is sitting alone in the practice room meditating, since marrying Chu Qing'an, the two do not have the original room, and even get along very little, You Jinwen locked Chu Qing'an in the room, and asked someone to bring her food and freshen up every day, but he didn't let her leave half a step.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps on the roof, You Jinwen opened his eyes, and saw that it was the green man standing in front of him, and the familiar bronze mask was reflected red by the dim candle flame. You Jinwen exhaled impatiently and asked, "What are you doing here again! Is it possible that you have to expose your relationship with me!"

This practice room is located in the middle of nowhere, and You Jinwen has already transferred all the guards from this place in advance, so only You Jinwen and Qing Xuanyi are here. Qing Xuanyi laughed insolently, crossed his arms and said, "Daoxueke and they have returned to Kexue Mountain Villa, and they will start to trace the whereabouts of the jade bottle from now on." Isn't my wandering master going to do something?"

"Is it true that the prince is asking me to lead the Yiye Sword Gate to return to the imperial court? If this is the case, you can report back to the prince, this matter is a big matter, and the time has not yet come, so you must not move lightly. You Jinwen staggered his eyes and replied perfunctorily.

Qing Xuanqi snorted coldly, even he could see that You Jinwen already had his own plans, but he was afraid that he would not cooperate well in the future, not to mention that there should be no illness. Ying Wujian also knew that You Jinwen was humane and ambitious, but at this time he still had his use value, so he asked Qing Xianqi to come to him.

Qing Xuanqi said: "Of course, the prince knows that the time has not yet come. The prince knows that although you married Chu Qing'an and became the master of this Ye Jianmen, the rivers and lakes are not convinced by you, thinking that there are many people who are young and unbearable, and Chu Qing'an does not really want to marry you. ”

"You!" You Jinwen was exposed to his shortcomings, and he was about to get up angrily, but Qing Xuanqi continued: "What, the master of the You Gate wants to kill me?"

You Jinwen was speechless for a while when he heard this, he was already dissatisfied with Qing Xuanyi's arrogance, but his martial arts were far inferior to him, so he was afraid. Seeing him unloaded, Qing Xuanqi laughed loudly: "You want to kill me but don't dare, Lord of the Gate, with all due respect, with your current martial arts prestige, you are not as good as Dao Xueke, what kind of face do you have to be the master of this Yiye Sword Gate!"

You Jin trembled with anger, and he didn't dare to refute, so he had to suppress his temperament and ask, "Then what good way do you have?" ”

Qing Qiqi took out a book from his arms and threw it to You Jinwen. You Jinwen stretched out his hand to catch it, spread it in his palm, and saw that the cover of the book was written "Supreme Xuanshen Scroll".

"What is this?" asked You Jinwen puzzled.

Qing Xuanyi explained: "This is a strange book of the Western Regions, and it is one of the treasures treasured in the prince's mansion. This "Supreme Great Xuanshen Scroll" is written by strange people in the Western Regions, there are twenty-two articles, including eighteen kinds of weapons and fists, palms, fingers, internal strength, body and mind, if you practice well, each of these martial arts is enough to make you a generation of grandmasters, which is specially rewarded to you by the prince. ”

The moment You Jinwen opened the book, he only felt an extremely cold aura of killing resentment rushing towards him, and flipped through the secret book, the martial arts recorded in it were unheard of and unseen, but extremely subtle and powerful. He pondered, "Why Ying Wujian suddenly gave me such treasures, what must be his requirements?" Thinking of this, You Jinwen asked, "Anyway, what does the prince command?"

"Hmph, you know each other too. Qing Xuanyi said, "The prince will teach you this secret of the world, and naturally you need to do something." It's not my right to meddle in this, it's up to you to do it, it's only fit. ”

"What is the matter, you say it doesn't matter. You Jinwen became a little impatient, but his eyes lit up, and his hands couldn't stop flipping through the martial arts cheats. He was originally a martial arts practitioner, how could he not love such a treasure when he saw it? Besides, the internal strength and swordsmanship recorded in the "Supreme Xuanshen Scroll" were much more powerful than the Flying Flower Remnant Leaf Sword, how could You Jinwen not be tempted?

Qing Xuanyi then commanded: "The eyes and ears of the prince are all over the Central Plains, in recent days, we have found that the Chaoying clan, which has long been extinct, has resurrected and is ready to move on the southern border, the prince guesses that maybe they have already infiltrated the Central Plains and plotted to plan big things, you need to pay attention to it." ”

"That's it?" You Jinwen was a little incredulous.

Qing Xianyi smiled slightly, and continued: "Of course not, it is just a Chaoying clan, why does the prince need to make a big move, and why should he give you such treasures. There's one more thing, which is quite tricky. ”

You Jinwen got up from the stone bed and stood down, bowed down again, and bowed his hand and bowed: "The prince has an order, and Jin Wen will never give up." ”

"There is a master under the prince, called, Yiye Hong. Qing Qiqi said slowly.

"The first knife in the world!" You Jinwen's voice trembled a little, he looked up at Qingyi, and slowly drooped down again.

Qing Qiyi smiled secretly, "What's the matter? Are you scared?"

You Jinwen replied softly word by word: "Jinwen, don't dare." ”

"It's okay to be scared. Don't say you're afraid, even I'm not that Ye Hong's opponent. However, you have such a miraculous skill, when you finish learning, you will be the number one swordsman in the world, Hugh said that it is just a Ye Hong, and at that time, you will no longer be invincible in the Central Plains Martial Arts! That Ye Hong left the Tanglin Mansion without permission, secretly helped the sword and snow ke, and had long been anti-against the prince. But the prince was afraid of his strong martial arts, and he had done meritorious things for the prince, so he had always tolerated him. Now his rebellion has appeared, and he cannot stay long. If I take action, I'm afraid I will be detected by Yiye Hong. It's up to you to kill him. Kill Yiye Hong, take his head, and find the prince to get his life back. There will be a reward!" Qing Xianyi raised his arms high, slowly put them behind him, and said jokingly, "Lord Youmen, the prince has great expectations for you, don't let him down with his kindness." ”

You Jinwen smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and admitted: "Jin Wen obeys!" After thinking about it, You Jinwen asked again: "What should I do with the knife snowman?"

"I have already told you the orders of the prince, the jade bottle has not been found at this moment, the secret of the Jade Buddha has not been solved, and the life of Dao Xueke must be kept. Without him, the prince's plan could not be carried out. When the time is ripe in the future, your martial arts will be successful, and the sword and snowman will lose its usefulness, and you will be able to kill him as you wish!"

After that, Qing Xuanqi flew out of the practice room, and walked away, leaving You Jinwen alone kneeling in the practice room, You Jinwen was in front of the book "Supreme Xuanshen Scroll", You Jinwen's eyes were a little sad, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop trembling, his hands supported the ground, and he whispered to himself: "The first swordsman in the world, the first swordsman in the world, Master, have you heard, your apprentice is about to become the first swordsman in the world, haha, the first swordsman in the world!" You Jinwen laughed with tears in his eyes. The strange laughter echoed in the closed practice room, and after laughing, You Jinwen's expression became hideous, "Dao Xueke, I will definitely kill you!"

I think that when Qing Qiqi left Tanglin Mansion, Yiye Hong had already left first. Ying Wujian had already noticed it, so he handed over the "Supreme Great Xuanshen Scroll" to Qing Xuanyi, and asked him to hand over the book to You Jinwen after Yiye Hong showed his traces.

"Lord Wang, dare to ask what this is?" asked Qing Xuanyi.

Ying Wuxi smiled slightly, took a sip of tea and said lightly: "This is the first strange book in the Western Regions, which records twenty-two kinds of martial arts in the Western Regions. Qing Xuanqi said a little unconvinced: "Lord Wang, it's not that his subordinates are greedy for merit, but his subordinates have followed the prince for many years, born and died, and there is no merit and hard work." It has only been a few months since You Jinwen took refuge in the prince, and he is unconvinced, sooner or later it will be a big deal, the prince not only does not eradicate him, but rewards him with such treasures, and his subordinates only get a hand that turns the clouds and rain, so his subordinates are not convinced. ”

When he heard this, he laughed out loud when he saw Qing Xianqi like this.

"Why is the prince laughing?"

Ying Wujian explained: "It is precisely because you have followed this king for many years, born and died, and you are considered to have done your best, that this king only taught you the hand of turning over the clouds and rain, but did not give you the "Great Xuanshen Scroll". Do you really think it's a reward?" Qing Xuanyi looked puzzled, knelt down and said: "My subordinates are puzzled, and I hope that the prince will make it clear!"

"The Great Xuanshen Scroll is from the Western Regions, and it was obtained from a seriously injured monk when the king traveled to the Western Regions in the early years. When the king saw that he was seriously wounded, he tried to heal him, but he was already dying and died of his wounds. Before he died, he handed the book into the hands of the king, and warned the king not to learn the martial arts, otherwise he would never recover, and he would fall into reincarnation forever. ”

"Is there such a thing?" said Qing Xuanyi.
