Chapter 118: The Silent Moon Reflects the Mountains and Rivers

And Xuanyi woke up in the middle of the night and saw that there was no one beside him, so he also went out to look for it. Seeing Chu Qing'an sitting alone in front of the door, holding his cheeks, half-tilting his head, he didn't know what he was thinking. The soft moonlight drifted like a light veil, and flowed slowly like a silver bottle pouring water. Under the silver moonlight, Zhu Qingqiu's thin figure trembled a little, a green dress fluttered in the wind, and a wisp of wind rolled up the skirt and sideburns, and a wisp of naughty green silk.

Xuanyi came to her side silently, sat down, also held her chin, followed Chu Qing'an's appearance, looked at the moon, but after a moment's effort, she lost interest, and saw that Chu Qing'an was silent, so she asked, "What are you thinking?" I don't know much about these loves, since I was a child, what I have accepted is to kill people, to kill people in the Central Plains, but none of us are willing to be a cold killing tool. No one feels sorry for us, even if we are hurt, we can only comfort each other. Can you tell me the story of you and the Blade Snowman?"

"The story is too long, where to start. Chu Qingan said softly.

Xuanyi asked, "So, have you known each other for a long time?"

Chu Qing'an shook his head and replied, "It's only two or three months." "It's only been two or three months, and your relationship is already so deep?" asked Xuanyi. Chu Qing'an said with a smile: "Because we have experienced too much life and death in the past few months, I will tell you when I have time." ”

Xuanyi nodded as if he didn't understand, and then said the long-suppressed doubts in his heart: "Then why did you come here alone, why didn't Dao Xueke come with you?" Chu Qing'an stood up, gently holding the green silk floating in the wind, his jade hand flicked his ear, looked at the round of silver plates on the side of the sky and said slowly: "Mengyao Mountain battle, Hugh said that you are the Eagle Clan, and several of us are also greatly injured. Although they all survived, they were seriously injured, and if it weren't for the help of the Divine Doctor Lijiang Jiuli from his predecessors, I'm afraid we would have died in Huangquan a long time ago. But that should be no disease mechanism is exhausted, insidious and cunning, and even designed to lure Brother Xue to Tanglin Mansion, and Brother Xue was seriously injured and did not recover, and his internal strength was lost, and it was extremely dangerous to go to Tanglin, but I couldn't help Brother Xue, so I could only come to the top of this group of mountains alone to find a way to cure the loss of internal strength. ”

"The internal strength is lost, most of the dantian is exhausted, the top of the mountains is a barren land, and the art of disambiguation is far inferior to the Central Plains. The Central Plains can't be cured, so how can the top of the mountains come from the immortal prescription?" Xuan Yi was a little puzzled.

Chu Qing'an said frankly: "I came to the top of the mountains to find a herb, according to the medical book, only this herb can cure this disease of internal depletion. And this herb only grows in the territory of your Chaoying Clan, on the top of the mountains, among the rocks. ”

"What herbs?" asked Xuanyi.

Chu Qing'an turned around, looked into her eyes and said, "Snow Rock Cloud Cultivation Grass!"

"Snow Rock Cloud Cultivation Grass?!" Xuanyi is famous, and his face has changed dramatically. Chu Qing'an saw that her reaction was so big, and Xuanyi was a member of the Chaoying Clan, so he would naturally know where this Snow Rock Cultivation Cloud Grass was, so he walked quickly to Xuanyi's side and held her hand, and asked happily: "Good sister, good sister, do you know where the Snow Rock Cultivation Cloud Grass is?" You are a member of the Chaoying Clan, you must know, right?" Xuanyi gently pulled out the hand that was held by Chu Qing'an, his eyes flashed, and he also got up and said: " Sister Qing'an, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that although I know the location of the Snow Rock Cloud Cultivation Grass, but that place is extremely sinister, if you go, you will definitely go and never return. I, I can't watch you die......"

Chu Qing'an shook his head and said, "No, this is the only way to make Brother Xue heal, and this is also his only hope to fulfill his wish, I must not give up." Even if it is broken bones, you still have to get the snow rock cloud cultivation grass. It's my sister begging you. After that, Chu Qing'an was about to kneel, Xuanyi hurriedly supported her, and hurriedly said, "Sister, why is this, oops, this." Hey......" Xuanyi sighed repeatedly, his face was embarrassed, and he hesitated. Chu Qing'an's eyes were full of hope, and tears flashed in his eyes. Xuanyi struggled for a while and finally said: "Don't hide it from Sister Qing'an, the snow rock cloud grass only blooms once a year, and its petals are ground into powder and have miraculous effects, but there is no in the Central Plains, where there are many things, and it is even more rare and rare on the top of the mountains in my treacherous environment. Therefore, once it grows, it will be picked by the people of the Chaoying clan and paid tribute to Emperor Zhongping. Now only in the palace of the Eagle Clan, in the pharmacy in the Hall of Heroes, can you find the Snow Rock Cloud Cultivation Grass. If you want to get it, you have to enter the Forbidden Palace to steal the treasure!"

Chu Qing'an was also a little shocked when he heard this, but after thinking about it, it was also reasonable, so he said: "In this case, even if that group of Ying Hall is the Longtan Tiger's Den, I will break through!" Seeing that Chu Qing'an was not afraid, although Xuanyi didn't understand the love between men and women, but seeing that Chu Qing'an was willing to take risks for the sake of Dao Xueke, she was also deeply moved, so she said: "Sister Qing'an really wants to go?"

"I really want to go!" Chu Qing'an's tone became more and more resolute, her trip this time was for the snow rock to cultivate the cloud grass, now that she knew where the herbs were, how could she return in vain?

Xuanyi sighed and said firmly: "In this case, I will go up the mountain with my sister, explore the palace at night, and obtain the snow rock cultivation cloud grass!" "No!" Chu Qing'an hurriedly stopped, "This trip to the palace is more auspicious, you have just escaped from the tiger's mouth, maybe Emperor Zhongping is thinking about arresting you, how can you throw yourself into the net?" Xuanyi shook his head and said: "No, since Sister Qing'an treats me as a sister, how can a sister be indifferent to watching her sister take risks?" Besides, Xuanyi doesn't know anything, but he is the best alone, and I know the inside of the palace better than my sister, and I know the distribution of its guards and the location of the pharmacy. If I enter the palace and steal out the snow rock and cultivate the cloud grass, Sister Qing'an will be able to succeed in one fell swoop!"

"But......" Chu Qing'an was still a little hesitant and scrupled, and she really didn't want Xuanyi to be involved in this matter.

Seeing her so hesitant, Xuan Yi said, "Could it be that Sister Qing'an treats me as an outsider and refuses to let me do my part?"

"No, it's not. Chu Qingan hurriedly explained. "In this case, why should my sister hesitate? Besides, this method is the only feasible method at present, if my sister agrees, as soon as tomorrow is over, it will be the most sparse moment in the palace, my sister is outside, and I am inside, I will definitely be able to do it!" Xuan Yi clenched his fists, and Chu Qing'an had to nod when he heard this. The two of them rested for a day and prepared to go up the mountain to steal treasures tomorrow.

And when Chu Qing'an was asleep before, Dao Xueke and Luo Baiyi had already entered Tanglin Mansion, Zhu Qingqiu and Ren Shanhuai were only a dozen miles away from Tanglin Mansion, and the two rode two horses side by side. Suddenly, they heard a strong wind in the woods, the leaves fluttering, and the branches swaying, and the two of them looked vigilantly, and there were clearly figures flickering, one, two, three, more and more, and it seemed that they were coming for the two of them. "I had long expected that Ying Wujian would send someone to intercept us, but I didn't expect him to send so many people. And looking at martial arts, it doesn't seem to be low......" Ren Shanhuai said worriedly.

Zhu Qingqiu had no scruples, smiled, stared at Ren Shanhuai with his eyes and said, "Most of Ying Wuji's masters have been killed or injured, and the rest of the people have you and me joining forces, so what are you afraid of?" Ren Shanhuai also laughed softly when he heard this.

After the sound of "sneering" sounded, the twenty men in black stood in front of the two. Ren Shanhuai immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Brothers, Xiaosheng is polite." I don't know why you're blocking the way of the two of us? Aren't you trying to rob money in your night clothes in broad daylight?"

The black-clothed man at the head sneered: "Ren Shanhuai, you are also a smart person, why do you pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of us." We are also old acquaintances, and in the past, we worked together under the prince, and you never treated our brothers badly. But now that the two of you don't know what to do and what is wrong, and you have betrayed the prince, we will also break off. Now the prince has sent us to take your life, and if you still have the heart to repent, you will dismount and be bound, and I will return to restore your life. Otherwise, if you start to move in a few days, you will definitely make your two heads fall to the ground!"

When Ren Shanhuai heard this, he retorted: "Since this is the case, the words have also been spoken." I also read the feelings of working together in the past and let you go, and you go back to Ying Wujian to return to his life, saying that the two of us will go to Tanglin Mansion in a few days, and we will settle the old hatred and new hatred together, so why bother your brothers to do it?"

Zhu Qingqiu also echoed: "Ying Wujian is using you and letting you work hard for him, but you are a shrinking turtle, and the concubine body also has a word, you are all extraordinary, why don't you be a carefree Jianghu person, instead of working hard for that Ying Wujian and doing some unsightly deeds?"

"Hmph, the prince has the grace of knowing us, how can we be so treacherous and wolf-hearted like the two of you!" said a man in black. Another man in black also chimed in: "Don't talk nonsense, since these two traitors refuse to dismount and be bound, we just have to do it!"

Zhu Qingqiu sighed lightly when he heard this, shook his head silently, and looked at Ren Shanhuai beside him, Ren Shanhuai's eyes were always watching everyone's movements, and at the same time he whispered to Zhu Qingqiu: "Their murderous intentions have risen, and there is no room to turn back, just do it, don't show mercy." Zhu Qingqiu bowed slightly.

The men in black each showed their blades, scattered in all directions, surrounded the two of them, and both rose into the sky, swinging their knives and slashing them off on their heads. Zhu Qingqiu and Ren Shanhuai also flew up from their horses, dodged on both sides, and the twenty bright steel knives slashed the two mounts, and then turned their heads to find Ren Shanhuai and Zhu Qingqiu. Behind Ren Shanhuai, there was an ethereal ink smoke, the ink robe fluttered, the sleeves of the robe waved, and it fell suddenly, a long sword fell from the sleeve in the palm, Ren Shanhuai's eyes were like ink smudge, and he read in his mouth: "There is a dragon in the ancient temple of the cold mountain, the mountains and seas return to the heart of all things, the flying sword falls into the rain and the ink is dyed, and the withered pine regenerates the bright moon." ”

After that, he threw the long sword in his hand, and his figure flashed out, and immediately after the sword, the long sword roared and killed, like the ink dragon roaring, murderous. And Zhu Qingqiu also jumped out of the encirclement, turned around and sat aside, put the Qinghuai Qin in his arms horizontally on his legs, and pressed his ten fingers on the strings. The black-clothed people pounced, fell down, looked at each other, glanced at each other, and tacitly divided into two teams, ten people to entangle Zhu Qingqiu, and ten people to besiege Ren Shanhuai.

The ten people turned around and approached Zhu Qingqiu quickly, Zhu Qingqiu closed his eyes slightly, sighed and said, "Since this is the case, please listen to the song of the concubine." With that, he hung his jade wrist, and his ten fingertips flashed between the strings, plucking and plucking. The sound of the piano is as soon as it starts, if the spring is flowing and the moonlight is immersed, it is clear that it is daytime, and the sky is much darker. The melodious sound of the piano did not change much, it seemed to be without murderous aura, which was diametrically opposed to the murderous ink rolling on Ren Shanhuai's side, but it had a bit of a pure heart and few desires. The men in black gradually stopped, hesitating.

One person said: "After all, this Zhu Qingqiu is known as the night to listen to the rain, and he is known for his proficient rhythmic martial arts, and he seems to have no murderous aura, but in fact, there is a murderous motive hidden in the sound of the piano." ”

The other person disagreed: "Why listen to the rain at night, I don't understand what kind of qin music this is, you don't dare to step forward, wait for me to come forward and kill that Zhu Qingqiu, take off her head, in front of the prince, you will not be able to share the credit!" Zhu Qingqiu heard the gradual sound of footsteps, did not panic, hooked a thread with his little finger and plucked it outward, and pressed the string with his thumb to wait for the person to approach, plucked it out suddenly, and the sound of the piano fell sharply.

The man in black who rushed to the moment was unguarded, and was rushed straight to the door by the surging internal force and stopped. His companions behind him were suspicious, wondering why he was frozen where he was. The wind in the forest suddenly rose, the rustling sound was endless, the birds flapped their wings, and there was a lot of noise, Zhu Qingqiu's ten fingers gradually increased the speed, and the slowly flowing piano sound also became urgent. The black-clothed man who stopped in front of her slowly turned around, his veil had been shredded, his chest was full of scars, his mouth was wide open, his eyes were round, and red blood flowed out of his seven orifices, as if he wanted to call for help but could no longer make a sound, the frightened appearance really made his accomplices stunned and frightened, and the long knife in the man's hand cracked several pieces and fell to his feet, and the huge body fell down with a bang.

Although the remaining nine black-clothed people in front of Zhu Qingqiu had fear in their hearts, they should not disobey the fate of no illness, but they did not dare to rush forward alone, so they looked at each other, understood in their hearts, and killed together, and Zhu Qingqiu was still like a stop in the water, but the sound of the piano gradually slowed down, but there was a little less indifference in the sound of the piano, and there was a little more grievance, it seemed that he was in the quiet and lonely night, there was no starlight in the deep air, the silver plate was hanging high, the moonlight was like water, and all the sounds were silent, suddenly there was a girl holding the guqin in her arms, sitting alone in the secluded fence, the sound of the piano quietly rose, the birds returned to the nest, and the insects were silent, only the breeze lingering in the ears and the sound of the fluttering and resentful piano, which seems to be mixed with low sobs and long outpourings, whining and complaining. It made everyone who heard the song burst into tears.

But those black-clothed people were all outlaws, even if they heard such a touching piano music, they were indifferent, but their footwork involuntarily gradually slowed down, their spirits were a little trance, their consciousness gradually dissipated, their movements were slow, their vision was blurred, and they seemed to gradually sink a round of silver jade plates in front of them, their eyelids became heavier and heavier, and their hands and feet weighed like a thousand catties.

Zhu Qingqiu's snow-white skin oozed beads of sweat the size of beans, and the song "The Night and the Moon Suing the Ghost" was finished, which was also a great drain on her. Slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ren Shanhuai. Ren Shanhuai's sword is wrapped in ink, and every move is like a brush stained with ink in the wind, and it spreads, and there seems to be an ink-colored dragon lingering between the horizontal and straight splits, knocking the black-clothed people around him to the ground, and the sword light in the sky flickered, like a starry spot, gathered at the tip of the sword, flashing light. Sweeping over the four acupoints of the black-clothed man's abdomen, Yin Jiao, Qi Sea, Shimen, and Guan Yuan, breaking the dantian and dispersing the internal force, in this way, it will not hurt their lives, and it can also be that they lose their ability to resist.

When they were all knocked to the ground, Ren Shanhuai and Zhu Qingqiu also consumed a lot, and the two gathered together, looking at the black-clothed man who was fainting all over the ground, and couldn't help but sigh again. Although they did not spare their hands, there was really no need to take their lives, so they just tried to knock them unconscious. Ren Shanhuai put away his long sword and said to Zhu Qingqiu: "It's a pity that they have good skills, but they have become lackeys who should be free from illness. Zhu Qingqiu frowned slightly and said, "Maybe they also think of us in the past, so there is something unspeakable." It's no wonder that they can't be blamed, they can only blame Ying Wujian for being too ruthless. ”

Ren Shanhuai nodded slightly, and then asked with a smile: "By the way, Qingqiu, between the fights, I heard that your second song is extremely mysterious, such as resentment and admiration, such as crying and complaining, just like the Chibi Fu on the eastern slope described." Is this song famous?" Zhu Qingqiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled, and replied lightly: "This song is called "The Night Remnant Moon Tells the Quiet Song", in fact, there are lyrics, but they are not commonly used. The artistic conception of this song is far-reaching, and it sounds full of desolation, and I can't help but cry. With internal force, the sound of the piano can be attacked into the acupuncture points, which can make people dizzy and hallucinate, so that they will be delirious for a short time, and they will dance with their hands, but it will be extremely expensive to play a song. If it weren't for the fact that I really didn't want to hurt their lives today, the concubine wouldn't have this song. ”

Ren Shanhuai also nodded and praised: "It is indeed a rare Qimen martial art in the world, it seems that in terms of music and rhythm martial arts, there is no attainment in the palace, which is really the best in the rivers and lakes." Zhu Qingqiu looked bitter when he heard this, and sighed softly: "It's just that I haven't gone back to see Master for a long time." Although it is said that Ying Wujian sent me to the mountain to learn martial arts, but the master is extremely caring for the concubine, if the mother is generally ......" Ren Shanhuai saw that she was sad, so he held her hand tightly and said: "When Ying Wujian is punished and the rivers and lakes are calm, we will go up the mountain together to meet your master." ”
