"It is precisely because he betrayed the prince that after completing the mission this time, I will cut off his head and hand it over to the prince for his life. This is also what the prince meant. This reunion with old friends, we count new and old hatreds together. Qing Xuanqi said through gritted teeth.

Everyone knows that Qing Xianqi is just using the topic to play, and wants to take this opportunity to avenge Xiao Bifarean's revenge for the rebellion back then, but he will not let the traitor have a good end. Everyone discussed a day off, set off tomorrow, and took advantage of the night to sneak attack Mengyao Mountain, which caught Lijiangjiu off guard.

At the same time, Dao Xueke was practicing alone in an open place in Mengyao Mountain. Under the guidance of Lijiang Liquor, he has learned the first chapter of the First Dust Sutra in this very short period of time, turning qi into form, not only the internal force is greatly increased, but also a part of the internal force can be released, and the invisible becomes tangible, and the power increases dramatically. Fortunately, Dao Xueke has practiced the Ten Directions Returning to the Heart Gong of the three-layer skill, as well as the point of Lijiang Wine, and has turned qi into form, otherwise it would not be possible to understand any of the twelve chapters of the First Dust Sutra in a few days.

Sitting cross-legged under a peach tree with his eyes closed, the soft sunlight sprinkled the entire hillside, and the air was mixed with warmth, no wind and no clouds, and the sun was not dry. Dao Xueke's breathing and breathing alternately, and there was a faint golden light all over his body, I don't know if it was caused by the sunlight or the internal force of Dao Xueke.

Slowly opened his eyes, a faint gold flashed in the pupils of Dao Xueke, the arms of Dao Xueke on his knees slowly hung down on both sides of his body, and slowly raised, gathered on the top of his head, and stopped on his chest, his hands were folded, suddenly opened, and he was suddenly pushed to both sides, and suddenly the wind was raging, Dao Xueke flew up, turned over three or four somersaults in a row, turned around and fell, a few feet away from the peach tree, and slapped two palms in a row, and the palm force hit in the air, shook on the branches of the peach tree, provoked the flying flowers, and all fell.

The internal force of the knife snowman emerged, the silver hair fluttered in the wind, scattered behind him, his eyes became more and more sharp, and he suddenly shouted, and the golden internal force burst out from the dantian, hovering above the right arm, and the knife snowman gathered the external internal force in his palm, and the internal force condensed together gradually turned into a long knife, a tangible knife formed by the internal force.

The sword snowman jumped again, the long knife waved, the sword light flickered, and the scorching internal force burned like a flame, sweeping through the air, and making the wind hot with it. This primordial dust scripture is an extremely masculine martial art, and it is based on internal force, and the sword qi is numerous, and the mountains roar and the tsunami, shaking the heavens and the earth! The sword snowman practiced several knives, and the sword light slashed towards the peach tree, but the moment the sword qi touched the trunk, it dissipated without a trace in an instant.

Dao Xueke was shocked, he couldn't help but rush into his heart, his internal force dissipated, he fell to the ground, hung his head and knelt half-kneel, and the beads of sweat on his forehead fell into the soil one by one, moistening the land of Mengyao Mountain.

Chu Qing'an and Lijiangjiu were walking towards here, seeing Dao Xueke's situation from a distance, Chu Qing'an only thought that Dao Xueke was injured, and hurriedly handed the food box that had been in his hand to Lijiang Jiu on the side, and ran to Daoxueke with a worried face, not shouting: "Brother Xue, Brother Xue!"

When Chu Qing'an ran to Dao Xueke's side and helped him up, Chu Qing'an patted the dust off his body for him, and said with concern: "Brother Xue, are you okay, are you injured, how do you feel now?" ”

"Look at you, you can't stand steady, staggering, and say you're fine?" Chu Qingan puffed out his mouth and looked at him dissatisfied, "It's just martial arts, why are you so bad about yourself!"

Dao Xueke didn't answer her, just looked at his hands with a puzzled expression, and muttered, "How can this be, could it be that I practiced wrong?"

"You're not doing it wrong, it's just a little off. Lijiang Jiu smiled, and walked over slowly with the food box that Chu Qing'an handed her, and said indifferently when she saw Dao Xueke muttering to herself.

"Senior, I think I have memorized the first chapter of this first dust scripture, but I always feel that something is wrong, and I ask my predecessor to indicate where I practiced wrong. Dao Xueke asked puzzled.

Chu Qing'an let go of Dao Xueke's arm, took the food box from Lijiang Jiu's hand with joy, shook it in front of Dao Xueke, and said softly: "It's past noon, Brother Xue should eat first and then practice." What if you don't have enough to eat if you practice martial arts?" Dao Xueke smiled slightly, still looking at Lijiang Wine and said, "Please ask your seniors for advice." ”

Lijiang Jiu glanced at Chu Qing'an, there was already a little anger between his eyebrows, puffing out his cheeks, biting his teeth, and the angry appearance after being perfunctory was really cute, so he smiled and said to Dao Xueke: "You better eat first, otherwise won't the dishes that this snow girl worked so hard to make be wasted?" You eat first, and I will explain it to you a little. ”

Dao Xueke realized that she had just ignored Chu Qing'an, and when she looked at Chu Qing'an apologetically, she turned her head angrily, didn't look at Dao Xueke, and only handed the food box to Dao Xueke, Dao Xueke took it, put it on the ground, opened the food box half-squatting, and said in surprise: "Wow, there are so many dishes." ”

When Chu Qing'an heard this, he turned his head and leaned over to Dao Xueke's side, hugged his arms and said, "Of course, I have spent a lot of effort to make it carefully, but you have to eat it all." ”

Dao Xueke couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this: "Where can I eat so many dishes by myself?" he said as he brought out the dishes in the food box, and the six dishes and a bowl of rice were laid out in turn, there were meat and vegetarian dishes, although they were ordinary but exquisite, it seemed that Miss Chu's cooking skills were far better than her martial arts.

Chu Qingan pouted and deliberately said: "Then I don't care, in short, if you don't finish eating today, I won't make it for you next time!"

Dao Xueke shook his head helplessly, but his heart was extremely warm.

Lijiang Jiu saw that although the two of them often quarreled, they were very sweet, and they really loved each other, and they couldn't help but feel a little envious in their hearts. Dao Xueke sat on the grass and ate the bowl of rice in his mouth, and it seemed that the continuous hard training was also a lot of consumption for him. And Chu Qing'an was sitting next to him, out of nowhere, he took out a pair of chopsticks, kept picking vegetables for Dao Xueke, and kept saying: "Brother Xue, try this, it took me half an hour just to pick the ingredients." Try this again, come. After a while, the rice in Daoxueke's bowl was bottomed out, and the dish was like a hill, stacked higher and higher.

Lijiangjiu could see that he was in a daze, and suddenly woke up from his fantasy, calmed down and said to Dao Xueke: "Although this Primal Dust Sutra is a martial art of the most rigid and yang, it is not fought by brute force, let alone going straight. Everything has yin and yang, but anyone who goes to the extreme on a road is not considered a superior martial artist. After that, Lijiang Jiu walked to the position where Fang Cai Daoxueke was standing, and then said:

"Although you have good talent and a good foundation, you also have the Ten Directions Returning to the Heart Gong as the foundation, so that you can practice so quickly but it is not easy to go mad and hurt the meridians. But it also leads you into a misunderstanding. You only care about the quick completion and memorize the first chapter of the First Dust Sutra by heart, but how much can you really understand?"

Dao Xueke couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and quietly listened to the teachings of Lijiang wine.

Lijiangjiu slowly raised his right arm, there was no exaggerated movement, and even his expression did not change at all, and in an understatement, there was a long knife in his hand that released his true qi and gathered internal force. It's just that the internal force emitted by the golden knife is not as hot as the sword snowman, but a little more soft and calm, as if it can contain all things in heaven and earth.

Dressed without wind, she ran forward quickly from Jiang Jiu, her internal strength was not fully recovered, but just as a demonstration, she used more and more strength. With a wave of the long knife in his hand, the knife qi spread out like ripples, and disappeared in an instant, and the other Dao Xueke and Chu Qing'an were dumbfounded, the knife qi released by Lijiang Wine did not disappear, and in the blink of an eye, it swept the branches of the peach tree, shaking the peach blossoms and withering, and the aftermath of the knife qi directly divided the pieces of fallen flowers into two and scattered them all over the ground.

Dao Xueke was so startled that he slowly stood up, and the dishes and chopsticks in his hand had not had time to be put down.

The long knife in Lijiangjiu's hand dispersed with the wind, and he stood in place with his negative hand, turned to look at Dao Xueke, and continued: "What is yang, as opposed to yin, at the beginning of all things, it is inclusive of all directions, all-encompassing, and its light does not change, it is a soft and flowing thing. What is rigidity, as opposed to softness, straight forward, invincible, no danger. But although it is extremely masculine and rigid, everything has both sides of yin and yang, no yin is difficult to have yang, and no softness is not rigid. You only know how to use your internal force to fight straight ahead, but with your internal force, the internal force has dissipated before you hit the enemy, and the First Dust Sutra and the Extreme Yang Duel complement each other, and you have learned the Ten Directions to Return to the Heart Gong, so you don't have to learn the Extreme Yang Duel. But the truth makes sense. ”

"Yin and yang go hand in hand, rigidity and softness, the moment the internal force is hit, it is indeed extremely fierce, but in the process of luck and conduction, it is turned into an ethereal thing, and when it is condensed, it is the moment when its power bursts out, that is, when the internal force is in front of the enemy. You get the idea. If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, you are anxious to practice the First Dust Sutra, but you forget that the practice of the First Dust Sutra must be free of worries, distractions, and pure and dust-free. Lijiangjiu said with a smile.

Dao Xueke handed the dishes and chopsticks to Chu Qing'an on the side, Chu Qing'an sighed, just sat in place and silently looked at Dao Xueke's back, and didn't say anything. Dao Xueke slowly walked towards Lijiangjiu, and said softly: "The big war is coming, we don't know when the people who should be free will come, how many people there are, who they are, and whether there are other Jianghu people interfering in this matter. There are too many unknowns. All these things started because of me, and if I don't step up my practice, I'm afraid that the time will come...... I'm sure Qing'an will understand me. ”

Indeed, if it was before, it was guaranteed that Chu Qing'an would be furious, but now that she has experienced many things, she has grown a lot, and in the face of the upcoming storm, she can deeply feel the heavy burden and sense of responsibility of Dao Xueke, as well as an unprecedented sense of crisis. He practiced martial arts so hard day and night, just to protect everyone. And in this case, all he can do is accompany Dao Xueke when he is tired.

Lijiangjiu smiled and nodded, and then said to Dao Xueke: "You remember what I said, don't be anxious." We won't bother you, you just concentrate on practicing. After that, Lijiang Jiu took Chu Qing'an and left here and returned to the grass house, and Chu Qing'an was reluctant to look at the figure of Dao Xueke practicing before leaving.

This day passed quickly, and during the day of the second day, Zhu Qingqiu finally woke up, and everyone told her what happened after she fell into a coma during this time, but her body was still very weak, and Dao Xueke and others suggested that Ren Shanhuai take Zhu Qingqiu to leave first to avoid being involved in this impending catastrophe. But Ren Shanhuai said: "Most of the time this time should be free of illness is also for the two of us, if we leave, won't it affect you." ”

Zhu Qingqiu also nodded and said: "Previously, the concubine had to do things for Ying Wuji, and secretly lurked beside everyone, almost harming Brother Xue, but you repaid the grievances with virtue, and also broke free from the shackles of Ying Wujian for Shanhuai and the concubine, and now Ying Wujian sent someone here, I am afraid that one is for Brother Xue, and the other is for us." In this case, we can't leave. ”

In this way, Zhu Qingqiu and Ren Shanhuai had made up their minds and refused to leave, and Dao Xueke and others had no choice but to leave them behind to fight against the enemy. Lijiang Jiu suggested that Zhu Qingqiu could go out for a walk and bask in the sun, and he didn't always have to stay in the house to rest, which was also conducive to Zhu Qingqiu's recovery. Ren Shanhuai helped Zhu Qingqiu to walk on the slope of Mengyao Mountain, Ren Shanhuai accidentally touched Zhu Qingqiu's hand, but Zhu Qingqiu was so shocked that he withdrew his hand. Ren Shanhuai was a little embarrassed, and there was a chill in his heart, Zhu Qingqiu saw him like this, so he explained: "Ren Gongzi's friendship with the concubine, the concubine naturally knows, but the concubine has a deep hatred of blood, and the fire back then was by no means accidental, it must have been premeditated." Before the concubine found out the truth of this matter, she didn't dare to think about the major events of her life, and hoped that Ren Gongzi would understand. ”

Ren Gongzi nodded with a wry smile and said, "I naturally know." Besides, my father's enmity has not been investigated, and I dare not have such thoughts at this time. ”

Zhu Qingqiu calmed down his fluctuating mood, turned his head to prevent Ren Shanhuai from noticing the corners of his red eyes, and pretended to be calm and said, "Since this is the case, Ren Gongzi, we don't have to go any further." You'd better go down the hill quickly. ”

Ren Shanhuai heard that he had been struck by lightning, the corners of his mouth twitched constantly, he took half a step back with a wry smile, and said lightly: "Then, then you sit here for a while now, and I'll go back and let Miss Xiaoli accompany you." With that, Ren Shanhuai walked away. After he walked away, Zhu Qingqiu, who was standing in place, couldn't help but start sobbing, and the crystal teardrops were like strings of pearls with broken threads, falling to the ground one by one. She is not ruthless, but she knows that she can't drag Ren Shanhuai down.

After a while, Rao Mengli came here with a big burden, and when she saw Zhu Qingqiu sitting alone and stupidly, she quickly came to her and sat down beside her. Zhu Qingqiu was looking at the scenery attentively, and when he saw Rao Mengli sitting over, he said with a forced smile: "Why are you really here?" Rao Mengli tilted his head and said: "It was Ren Gongzi who asked me to accompany Sister Zhu, Sister Zhu seems to have something on her mind?"

"Why do you say that?" Zhu Qingqiu's voice seemed to tremble a little.

Rao Mengli said with a smile: "I am also a woman, so I naturally know what Sister Zhu is thinking at this time." Ren Gongzi can't see it, and neither will I. I wish my sister to have just cried. Zhu Qingqiu was slightly stunned, touched the moist corners of his eyes again, and said with a wry smile: "You won't tell Ren Gongzi." Rao Mengli shook her head and asked puzzledly: "We can all see that Sister Zhu is not ruthless to Ren Gongzi, but why do you want to refuse his kindness? I heard that your two ancestors were officials in the same dynasty, and they are friends in the world. ”

Zhu Qingqiu said truthfully: "Although this is the case, Ren Gongzi is a good person. He is humble and gentle, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and should have married a beautiful lady, a daughter, and spent his life together. A woman like me is not worthy of him. Although we have the same experience, I am deeper than him, and I can't afford his feelings. I have to repay the kindness he has shown me, and even though he uses me, only as a tool and a weapon, I can't get out. Although I have now asked for the restraint of Ying Wu, some things are not as simple as you think. Ying Wujian will definitely not let me go, and I must not drag Ren Gongzi down. He will meet a woman who is more suitable for him than I am. ”

"So you want to force him to leave, just don't drag him down?" asked Rao Mengli.

Zhu Qingqiu nodded, but Rao Mengli laughed out loud and said, "Although I don't have a person I love for, I have liked Brother Xue since I was a child. In the past, Brother Xue also thought about forcing me away, because he was worried about me, cared about me, and was afraid that every day he would implicate me and hurt me, but I still secretly followed him. He deliberately ignored me, even beat me and scolded me. Growing up, he didn't say a word to me, he thought he would let me go, but I knew that he cared about me at that time. I believe that Ren Gongzi will be like this, he has affection for you, even if you force him to leave, he will not leave. You think you're going to push him farther and farther away, but before you know it, your hearts are getting closer. In this case, why not accept it calmly, deliberately snub his heart, hurt a person he loves, and hurt himself, why bother?"

"I didn't expect you to know so much at such a young age. Zhu Qingqiu said with a smile.

Rao Mengli stood up, looked into the distance, and said stupidly: "I didn't understand it before, but after Brother Xue met Sister Chu, I seemed to have figured it all out." How many people come and go in this world, and they all say that the five hundred times they look back in the past life in exchange for an encounter in this life. Then what kind of fate can we know each other, love and kill each other? In the vast sea of people, how difficult is it to find a person who is in love? Since we have met, how can we let it go?" After that, Rao Mengli looked at Zhu Qingqiu. Zhu Qingqiu had already fallen into deep thought, and only after a long time sighed and said, "But I have already forced him to leave, what room is there to redeem it?" Zhu Qingqiu heard Rao Mengli's words, although he didn't figure it all out, but he already understood a little.
