Flying Snow Burying Red Leaves, Volume 1, Sword and Rivers and Lakes, Mo Lone Chapter 28 Treading the Wind and Riding the Clouds and Going Light
"You make it clear! If there is anything left behind, it will not be up to you and me to bear the consequences of the future revelations?" "Only Chen Wuqiao of the Qiankun faction woke up at a critical moment, rolled off the cliff, and was not cremated. ”
"What?!" Qing Xuanqi slapped the table suddenly, grabbed the man's shirt with his left hand and scolded angrily, "You let him run?!Let you kill them directly, you have to release the drug! Now that you let him run, how can you explain it?!Don't you want your little life!" The man was grabbed by the placket of his clothes, and he didn't panic, but just sneered: "That cliff is about a hundred feet high, and below it is a river, which leads to the sea, even if he rolls down, there will be no way to live, don't worry, he is seriously injured, and he will definitely die." Hearing this, he put him down, but his face was still a little convulsive due to anger, and continued: "It's better to do this, otherwise, I will have to take your head and confess!"
"I'll do it, don't worry. The man said, arranging his clothes, "It's getting late, and I should go back." You stay here during the day, don't go out and walk around, every day someone will come and bring you food, they are my confidants, you can trust. Qing Qian looked at the man's back and said, "How sure are you that you can get the Jade Buddha?" The man smiled when he heard this: "You don't have to worry about this, I will get the Jade Buddha at the last moment." Just remember what you promised me. ”
Qing Xuanqi said: "If you can get back the Jade Buddha, the top will definitely give you a reward." "I don't want any reward, remember what you promised me." With that, he walked out of the stone house and fastened the stone door. Seeing that the man had already gone out, Qing Xianyi sneered, and lay down on the bed and slept peacefully.
On the second day, Chu Qing'an came to the Sword Picking Cliff alone after breakfast, wanting to rest and relax here, and also to find the clues that Chu Yunshan wanted her to investigate. Who knew that when Fang arrived at the sword cliff, he saw that the two figures in the octagonal pavilion, one tall and one short, were quite familiar, and when they looked at it again, it turned out to be Dao Xueke and Rao Mengli talking in the pavilion, and his heart was sour, so he stepped forward and sneered: "Who should I be, it turns out that it is this loving couple who are here to talk to me." Rao Mengli only felt that her ears were hot when she heard this, and her pretty face was already blushing, so she lowered her head and whispered: "No... Miss Chu misunderstood. Dao Xueke also hurriedly explained, but he didn't know how to explain, as soon as he met Liu Yuanjun and Chu Qing'an, he didn't know why, he would reveal his little-known side, so he had to say: "Qing'an......"
"Slow!" As soon as the words came out, she was interrupted by Chu Qing'an, she snorted softly and said: "Xue Gongzi still call me Miss Chu, so as not to be heard by others, when this girl is a shameless person, it also saves the misunderstanding of the beauties around her." "We're just discussing tomorrow's martial arts competition, because we think this place is relatively clean, so we rushed here, if we disturb Miss Chu, we'll leave." Rao Mengli looked apologetic and said very sincerely. Seeing her like this, Chu Qing'an was a little embarrassed, so he had to say: "Although this Sword Picking Cliff is the land of my Sword Sect, it is also open to all sects and factions to rest. What are you discussing about the private affairs of your Ten Ghost Church, so continue to discuss here. It has nothing to do with this girl, this girl is just here to find clues. ”
"Is it a clue about the Qiankun Sect and the disappeared disciples of the Yiye Sword Sect?" Dao Xueke asked, and Chu Qing'an just replied coldly when he heard this: "It has nothing to do with you." With that, he turned his head and walked to the edge of the cliff, looking around, as if he had no interest in what had just happened. Seeing her like this, Dao Xueke was helpless, just sighed, this scene was just seen by Rao Mengli, and the careful Rao Mengli lowered his head and said softly: "Brother Xue cares about Miss Chu very much, right?"
Rao Mengli continued: "I can see from Brother Xue's eyes that Brother Xue cares about Miss Chu's words and deeds very much. Dao Xueke explained: "Maybe I returned the leaf finder in public and rejected her kindness, so I feel a little guilty." Rao Mengli shook her head, raised her head again, stared at Dao Xueke's face with her eyes, and asked softly with a smile: "When I went to check the Hanshan Daoguan room yesterday, I saw a goldfinch embroidered on the square handkerchief that Miss Chu used to cover her face. I think it must have been used by me for Brother Xue's bandage, and Brother Xue transferred it to Miss Chu. Dao Xueke really couldn't face her slightly bitter smile, and when he heard the words, he was like being struck by lightning, so he recalled that night he used a square pag to dust off the smoke and dust for Chu Qing'an, and forgot to get it back, and he didn't want Chu Qing'an to take it with him all the time, and he was seen by Xiaoli.
"Xiaoli, I ......"
Rao Mengli lowered her head again, and raised her head again after a long time, her smile was even more gorgeous than just now, but the corners of her trembling mouth were bitter that could not be concealed: "Since I left that square handkerchief to Brother Xue, now that Brother Xue wants to transfer it, I will let Brother Xue dispose of it." ”
When the two were talking, Chu Qing'an glanced at it from time to time, walking carelessly on the edge of the cliff, and suddenly felt that his feet were a little rough and a little slippery. Hurriedly squatted down, touched the velvety grass with his hand, and said secretly in his heart: "These grasses are slightly different from the surroundings, and if they are not so close, they can't be distinguished at all." It seems to be all new grass. She pulled out a few grasses and put them in her palm, contrasting them with the grass under her feet and slowly moving her position. When he found the edge of the new grass, he pushed aside the weeds, and there was a little black dregs between the gaps in the grass, not just something, so he took out his handkerchief and dipped it in some residue, and sniffed it lightly on the tip of his nose, only to feel a faint smell of burning, and carefully surveyed the surrounding grass, and saw that the edge of a grass seemed to have been burned by fire, and a bite was missing, and the notch was burnt yellow, and there was also a smell of burning, so he carefully folded them, wrapped them in a handkerchief, carried them in his arms, and stood up.
At this moment, Na Luo Baiyi was slowly walking towards the Sword Picking Cliff, but none of the three of them noticed him. Luo Baiyi's eyes have recovered ninety percent, and his eyesight has basically recovered, but he can't look at the strong light for too long and can't open it for too long, he is still a little sour, and he still needs time to recuperate. Seeing that Dao Xueke and Rao Mengli were not in the room, and hearing that there was a cliff here, he wanted to come and relax his heart, and he didn't want to run into Dao Xueke and Rao Mengli here, so he wanted to step forward and say hello: "Old knife!
Chu Qing'an just stood up, his feet were a little sore, and he suddenly heard a loud shout behind him, he was startled, and he was stepping on the new grass that was still a little dewy, and his feet slipped and he leaned forward. "Ahh Dao Xueke and Rao Mengli first looked at Luo Baiyi when they heard the sound, but they were stopped by Chu Qing'an's exclamation, and they hurriedly followed the sound and saw that Chu Qing'an was about to fall off the cliff, and Dao Xueke was about to jump out of the octagonal pavilion. At this moment, Luo Baiyi stepped on the pillars of the corridor, kicked open, and flew out with his strength, the real air turned, and he took more than ten steps in mid-air, the speed was extremely fast, and he could only see the afterimage of the chain, and felt that the wind was sweeping and the clouds were whirling, and others could not get close, and the white robe was flying, turning into a snow-white cheetah. Luo Baiyi's light skills were much higher than those of Dao Xueke, so he rushed to the edge of the cliff one step ahead of him, and never stopped, he flew out of the cliff directly, caught Chu Qing'an, who had fallen out of the cliff, hugged his waist with one hand, and grabbed the edge of the cliff with the other, and the two of them hung on the cliff, and the churning and roaring river was under their feet. The two of them had already rushed to the edge of the cliff at this time, and they wanted to pull them up. Who knew that Luo Baiyi smiled softly: "I haven't done my luck for many days, but I'm a little rusty." With that, he let go of his right hand that was holding the cliff, and the two of them fell downward.
"Baiyi!" "Brother Luo!" Dao Xueke and Rao Mengli were both taken aback when they saw this, and Chu Qingan also shouted: "Are you crazy!?" Luo Baiyi's lips were tightly closed, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his brows frowned, and he stepped on the slippery cliff, the two of them had fallen out of the cliff, Luo Baiyi hugged Chu Qing'an, stepped on the air with one foot, flipped, stepped on the cliff and climbed up the cliff vertically, and when he was about to reach the top of the cliff, he kicked out again, kicked himself and Chu Qing'an away from the cliff, staggered his legs, as if stepping on a cloud, volleying in the air, and the two of them landed steadily on the sword picking cliff. Dao Xueke and the two of them stepped forward to take a look, and saw that Chu Qing'an's face was red early, not just shy or afraid. Looking at Naluo's white clothes again, his face did not change color and did not pant, and when he landed, he did not stir up any dust, and even his boots were not stained.
Chu Qing'an slapped Luo Baiyi and said softly: "Let me go!" Luo Baiyi let go and released Chu Qing'an, who had been holding him in his arms, Dao Xueke and Rao Mengli hurriedly hugged him and were concerned: "Are you okay?" Luo Baiyi smiled: "It's just that I haven't used this light skill for a long time after being poisoned, such a trivial matter is nothing." Rao Mengli said again: "It's just that Brother Luo still needs time to recuperate, so don't use your internal strength lightly." Dao Xueke explained: "It's just that the situation is urgent, if it weren't for the white clothes, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to save Qing'an." "When did this girl ask you to rescue her?" replied Chu Qing'an as he straightened his clothes. "Qing'an?" Luo Baiyi was a little surprised, and after seeing his face clearly, he was even more surprised, and said with a reluctant face: "What is it, if I had known earlier, I would not have rescued you." When Chu Qing'an heard this, his competitive temperament and arrogant self-esteem occupied his heart again: "What do you mean by this?
Luo Baiyi smiled bitterly twice, and said decisively: "I have just recovered from a serious illness, why should I use my skills to become an arrogant eldest lady who can only sneak attack and attack people?" When Chu Qing'an heard this, he became angry, his cheeks were red, his teeth were biting, and his eyes were round with anger, so he pulled out his snow sword and pointed at the tip of Na Luo Baiyi's nose, and scolded angrily: "Do you dare to say what Fang just said again!"
Luo Baiyi was not afraid, but sneered twice and said: "Hmph, if you are really an arrogant eldest lady, she disregarded the grace of saving her life, but drew her sword against her benefactor, and she will take revenge, and she is really a villain." Chu Qing'an was angry, and it was difficult to refute, he was speechless for a while, put the sword back into the scabbard, and was about to leave, but was pulled by the sword Xueke.
Dao Xueke leaned in front of her and whispered, "I have something to ask for, and I hope it will be fulfilled." Chu Qing'an was still angry, and replied casually: "What's the matter, this girl doesn't have time to accompany you here." Dao Xueke continued: "The day before yesterday, I left a handkerchief with you, it is not my personal property, and I hope that Qing'an can return it to me." When Chu Qing'an heard this, he looked at Dao Xueke's guilty face with a puzzled expression, his face calmed down again, and he snorted coldly: "I knew this was the case, a square handkerchief, what is so rare, and you are!" After that, he took out the neat stack of square handkerchiefs from his arms, threw them in Dao Xueke's hand, turned his head again, and ran away.
Dao Xueke held the square handkerchief that still had a hint of warmth, and didn't know how to face Chu Qing'an, seeing her leave, looking at her back, the square handkerchief in his hand also became cold. Dao Xueke sighed and returned to Luo Baiyi and Rao Mengli.
Rao Mengli raised her head and asked, "What did Brother Xue say to Miss Chu just now, she seems to be very sad." Dao Xueke shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything. As he spoke, he exchanged the square handkerchief embroidered with a golden finch in his hand to Rao Mengli. Rao Mengli looked at the square handkerchief, pushed Dao Xueke's hand back, shook his head and said: "I gave it to Brother Xue, it is Brother Xue's thing, let you dispose of it, why give it back to me?" Luo Baiyi stood aside and didn't speak, just rubbed his astringent eyes, Rao Mengli hugged him when he saw it and said, "Brother Xue has been out for a long time this time, and he has done light work, he should go back and recuperate, let's go back to the room." When the other two heard this, they went back to the wing room with Rao Mengli.
On the main hall of the Yiye Sword Gate, Chu Yunshan and Xiao Wuxian were sitting in the hall drinking tea, Chu Qing'an broke in with a sword breath, and when he saw Xiao Wuxian, although he was a little surprised, he still bowed and saluted: "I have seen Hall Master Xiao." Xiao Wuxian nodded, and said with a smile to Chu Yunshan: "Unconsciously, Ling Ai seems to have grown a lot in the past few days. Chu Yunshan laughed when he heard this, and replied: "Hall Master Xiao must not say that, my daughter, I can't stand praise, if you praise her like this, she will turn the sky upside down." Chu Qing'an sat aside, and said coquettishly when he heard this: "Dad!" Chu Yunshan saw that her face was gloomy, so he asked, "Who made our eldest lady angry again?" Chu Qing'an pouted and muttered: "Hall Master Xiao is here, my daughter doesn't dare to say more." Hearing this, Xiao Wuxian glanced at Chu Yunshan, turned his head again, and said to Chu Qing'an: "Miss Chu, although she said, if there is any difficulty, the master of Chu Sect and the old man will definitely make decisions for you." ”
Chu Qing'an nodded when he heard this, then stood up and confided in him: "It's not that Dao Xueke and Luo Baiyi, who humiliated me three times and twice!" Xiao Wuxian pondered for a moment, and said slowly, "Ah Xue, this kid has a calm and calm personality, and he must not do anything out of the ordinary, as for this white-clothed ......" Chu Yunshan said to Chu Qing'an when he heard this: "It's not you, you went down the mountain privately, dressed up, and attacked Luo Gongzi, and then you got married." He is also understandably unhappy with you. Chu Qing'an stomped his feet lightly, and said with a face full of grievances: "Dad, how can you help outsiders talk, I'm your daughter!" Chu Yunshan sighed and said to Xiao Wuxian: "The little girl is too willful, and the old man is helpless." Seeing this, Xiao Wuxian said to Chu Qing'an: "Miss Chu, don't worry, when the old man goes back, he will definitely reprimand the two of them and be angry for Miss Chu." Xiao Wuxian also rarely made a joke, and Chu Yunshan naturally knew that this was a polite remark. Chu Qing'an thanked with a smile on his face: "It's still Hall Master Xiao who has courage!"
Chu Yunshan waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you sit down." The old man also has to discuss tomorrow's martial arts competition with Hall Master Xiao. Tomorrow's martial arts competition, the five major sects can only stand out and compete for the leader, I don't know if there is a candidate for the Xiao Hall Master?" Xiao Wuxian said: "It's still under consideration." Tomorrow, in addition to me, my Ten Ghost Hall and the Yiye Sword Gate of the Lord of Chumen, there will also be Wuqiu Palace, Chaohai Palace, and the Green Python Panshan Pavilion are not idle, it is really too risky. Chu Yunshan asked again: "Tomorrow's martial arts competition is extraordinary, it must be important and extraordinary." If you want to come to those few sects to fight, why don't Hall Master Xiao go into battle in person?" Xiao Wuxian chuckled when he heard this: "The old man is old, and he doesn't want to get too involved in the competition for fame and fortune in the rivers and lakes. It's better to leave it to the young people to break through, the current rivers and lakes are no longer the rivers and lakes of you and me, could it be that the master of Chumen wants to make a move?" Chu Yunshan also smiled: "Hall Master Xiao said that he was joking, the old man already has a candidate in his heart." Tomorrow I will send my first eldest disciple You Jinwen to fight, he has followed me since he was a child, although this son is mediocre in talent, but in the past 20 years, it can also be called diligent, and he has won my true inheritance. ”
Chu Qing'an heard the words and said, "Dad, why don't you send me?" Chu Yunshan said when he heard this: "You are fooling around, haven't you already fought a battle, and you are still injured on your hands, you can't do it." Dad has made up his mind, let your senior brother go. Chu Qing'an explained: "Dad-my injury is in my left hand, which does not hinder the use of the sword. Besides, yesterday's game can't be counted at all, I originally thought that there would be a cold mountain hidden dragon for a while, who knew that fifty minions would be killed halfway, this is not counted at all. Besides, the senior brother has been in a coma for a long time, and he woke up last night, so he should rest and rest again, so tomorrow his daughter will fight on his behalf, what do you say, Dad?"
Chu Yunshan stood up suddenly, took a few steps behind his back and said, "No, never, Daddy can rely on you in everything, but this matter can't?" Chu Qing'an came to his side, shook Chu Yunshan's sleeves, and said coquettishly: "Dad~ Don't you believe in your daughter's martial arts?" Chu Yunshan explained with a worried face: "Dad believes in your martial arts, and it is enough to deal with ordinary people." Do you know that tomorrow the three factions will be masters or even heads of the battle, you may be able to resist for a while, but in the face of such a master, Dad may not be sure of victory, if you go, who will guarantee your safety? Dad can never agree!"
When Chu Qing'an heard this, the pity on his face turned into a little anger, and he shook Chu Yunshan's sleeve suddenly: "That dad still doesn't trust me!"
