Empty mountains, fog, cold air.

The fog that fell from the sky was like a white barrier, erasing everything that happened in the mountains.

Zhang Qing lowered his head and looked at his bare feet, his eyes seemed to be blinded by the fog, and he couldn't even see his own feet.

There is no longer the tension before, but now it is a little cold.

This coldness is not only in the limbs, but also in the heart, making the blood flowing under the skin feel cold.

The rivers and lakes are indeed difficult to walk, frightening everywhere, and always terrifying, and how far can his feet go on this road?

Zhang Qing looked at the girl quietly, and asked casually, "Why is Dai Yiqun looking for people to challenge him?"

The girl looked at Zhang Qing, she wasn't smiling, but there seemed to be a smile in her eyes: "Didn't you already ask him personally?"

Zhang Qing thought about it for a while, and then asked a different way: "Why did he find someone who could kill him?"

The girl shook her head and said, "If you want to find someone who can kill him, it's naturally because he wants to die." ”

"In that case, why did he kill his opponent?"

"I like to watch others die, naturally because he wants to die. ”

Zhang Qing frowned and said: "It's not easy to want to die, as long as you want to die, suicide is an easy thing to do." ”

The girl shook her head again and smiled slowly: "Who said that suicide is an easy thing to do? There is a kind of Jianghu people in this world, even if they want to die, they will never commit suicide, not to mention that Dai Yiqun is also a swordsman." It is very humiliating to die under your own sword, and as a swordsman, how can you kill yourself yourself?"

Zhang Qing became more and more puzzled, and asked rhetorically: "Could it be that suicide is more humiliating than dying under someone else's sword?"

The girl smiled silently, as if she felt that there was no need to answer his question.

Zhang Qing couldn't help but sigh and complained: "I didn't expect us to meet such a person, it's really bad luck." ”

The girl smiled: "Actually, your luck is not too bad, because he didn't really force you into the death of Tonghu Mountain." If you go less than a hundred miles further into this road, you will surely die. ”

Zhang Qing's face turned iron-blue, "You mean, we haven't really entered the death realm of Tonghu Mountain, so we're still alive?"

The girl nodded.

Zhang Qing looked at the pale of the mountain, "If we go any further, we will die less than a hundred miles away?"

The girl nodded again.

Zhang Qing was silent for a moment, and then said, "So we'd better go back now?"

The girl shook her head.

Zhang Qing frowned, "Why can't you go back?"

The girl laughed and said, "Didn't you think that Dai Yiqun would be waiting for you on this road?"

Zhang Qing stopped talking.

The girl looked at him and smiled, "Have you ever figured out why he has to chase after you?"

Zhang Qing did not speak.

The girl smiled and said, "Have you ever thought that he might want to kill you because he saw the black flag order in your hand?" ”

Zhang Qing's eyes widened, as if in disbelief.

The girl continued: "With you alone, he will not be looked at all, but that black flag is different, if he kills you, maybe the prince will issue a white flag to chase and kill this person." ”

Zhang Qing was surprised: "This person has to find death by himself?"

"Perhaps. ”

"This Jianghu is really strange, and the people in the rivers and lakes are even stranger, some like to live, some like to die, some like to kill, and some like to let others kill themselves. Zhang Qing sighed: "Jianghu people attach importance to the word morality, but Dai Yiqun is a person who does not speak of morality. ”

The girl said with a smile: "He is not the only one who does not speak of morality. ”

Zhang Qing said helplessly: "That's why today's rivers and lakes will be in chaos, with constant killings and bloody rain." ”

The girl said: "The people in the rivers and lakes are not all the same, and the morality of the rivers and lakes is not unified, in the final analysis, the morality of the rivers and lakes is determined by people, since the people of the rivers and lakes have changed, the morality of the rivers and lakes has naturally changed." Born in the rivers and lakes, people are morality, and morality is people. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Qing felt uncomfortable for a while, he was not a person from the rivers and lakes, in his imagination, the rivers and lakes should be happy with enmity, drunk with the rivers and lakes, and suppress the strong and help the weak. It almost never occurred to him that any rules would change because of people, but few people would change because of rules.

Zhang Qing said sullenly and helplessly: "The rivers and lakes themselves are like this, and it is really chilling. But even so, I still know some truth. ”

The girl laughed and said, "What do you know?"

Zhang Qing said: "I know the truth of doing something and not doing something. ”

The girl raised her eyebrows and was about to laugh, when she suddenly heard someone call: "Flying fish." ”

This sound is crisp and pleasant, even more moving than the sound of the yellow orioles in the mountains, and more pleasant than the sound of the spring water in the stream.

Zhang Qing couldn't help but look behind the girl.

The girl immediately turned over and dismounted, and turned to watch a group of centaurs come out of the fog.

After a while, I saw more than a dozen young women riding horses, holding the reins in one hand and pressing the knife in the other, galloping from the green mountain road, rolling the plain white mist. The jeweled scabbard looms in the mist.

In the middle, on a shiny black horse, sat a woman with a beautiful and cold face.

Dressed in emerald green clothes, his skin is like ice and snow, charming and eye-catching.

The eyebrows are slender, the eyes are flickering, and the eyes as clear as the lake seem to contain indescribable feelings.

His sideburns were damp and he was stained with white droplets of water on his eyelashes. It looks like a waterfront tree, standing in the wind, and escaping from the dust.

The girl stepped forward, knelt down and said respectfully, "Flying Fish is waiting for the deputy pavilion master." ”

It turned out that the woman in Tsing Yi was the deputy pavilion master of Yihua Pavilion, Zhao Qingzhi.

Legend has it that Bai Luoshang is the most feared woman.

She just sat on horseback, but she felt like a fairy coming from the wind, and a fresh fragrance quietly spread around, slowly spreading in everyone's hearts.

There are no flowers in the mountain, but her arrival has made the mountain splendid.

The wisps of sweet fragrance emanating from her body, even if you are blind, you can be intoxicated by the smell.

This goblin in the mountain mist attracted the attention of all men, and everyone couldn't take their eyes off her because of her, even if every man knew that this woman had a pair of eyes like poisonous snakes, they still couldn't help but look at her.

Zhao Qingzhi didn't even want to look at the group of men, the luster of her eyes was as cold as water, and she didn't look at anyone, but everyone here seemed to be melted by her eyes.

Every man looked at her, and every man did not dare to speak. At this time, it seems that all people no longer exist, and she seems to be the only one in heaven and earth.

But she is not really the only one in heaven and earth.

Zhao Qingzhi looked at the girl Feiyu and asked unhurriedly, "Where is the person?"

The "person" in her mouth will naturally not be anyone here, because here, no one is seen by her.

Flying Fish slowly shook his head and replied, "No." ”

Zhao Qingzhi frowned.

Feiyu couldn't help but say: "Four days ago, it was here that I saw Bai Luosheng, who entered Tonghu Mountain alone. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Qing suddenly jumped up and shouted excitedly: "Have you ever seen Bai Luoshang?"

He shouldn't have had a place to speak, but he did. He shouldn't have spoken, but even if he did, no one would bother with him now. Because of what he said, Zhao Qingzhi didn't look at him.

If Zhao Qingzhi had taken a look at him, then he would definitely not be able to live anymore.

Feiyu was obviously very dissatisfied with this man's sudden words, so he said coldly: "If it wasn't for meeting him, how would I have found here?"

Zhang Qing pulled out his voice and said, "You mean to say that you have seen Bai Luoshang here?"

Flying Fish groaned, "Probably yes." ”

Zhang Qing's face suddenly showed a very strange expression, "Probably yes? What do you mean? Aren't you sure if you've seen Bai Luoshang here?"

Feiyu rolled his eyes and said dissatisfiedly, "When I saw him, there was no fog in this mountain. ”

The heavy mountain fog made it impossible to distinguish between the southeast and northwest, and she naturally couldn't recognize whether this place was still the place where she had seen Bai Luoshang before.

The leader looked at the fog and couldn't help but worry.

He was not the only one who should be worried, but at this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Qingzhi, as if they couldn't see anything except her.

But Zhao Qingzhi still didn't feel anything, she held the horse rope, looked at Feiyu indifferently, and said indifferently: "He has always been in Tonghu Mountain and has never left?"

Feiyu lowered his head and blamed himself: "Feiyu is incompetent, Bai Luoshang returned when I just sent the message." ”

Another woman in Tsing Yi stood up and said, "But why didn't you pass on the information of his departure from Tonghu Mountain to us?"

Feiyu said anxiously: "How could I not send a message? As soon as I found out that he turned around, I immediately let the snow sculpture send a message out, didn't you receive it?"

Of course, they didn't receive it, and the people of Yihua Pavilion only received the information that Bai Luoshang had arrived at Tonghu Mountain.

Feiyu's eyes widened, "Impossible, how could the news I released with my own hands not reach you?"

Zhang Qing couldn't help but be curious, "What do you use to deliver the news?"

Flying Fish frowned and said, "Snow Sculpture." ”

Zhang Qing thought he had misheard, and asked again: "What is it?"

Flying Fish glared at him heavily, "I said it's a snow sculpture, are you deaf?"

Zhang Qing is not deaf, he has just never heard of it.

Zhao Qingzhi said coldly: "Since we can't see him, we don't have to stay here longer." ”

Flying Fish asked urgently, "So where are we going?"

Zhao Qingzhi said coldly: "Since he has embarked on this road, he must go to Liangzhou." But I think he will definitely go somewhere else before he goes to Liangzhou. It's just that we don't have to care where he goes, anyway, we will end up waiting for him in Liangzhou. ”

Flying Fish asked again, "Are you on your way right away?"

Zhao Qingzhi twisted his eyebrows, his eyes staring at the vast white in front of him, "No, we'll just wait in place." ”

Flying Fish was puzzled, "What are you waiting for?"

Zhao Qingzhi said: "Wait for the fog in the mountains to dissipate before going on the road." ”

Feiyu nodded, "If this fog doesn't clear, even if we want to leave, we won't be able to get out." I just don't know when the fog will lift. ”

Zhao Qingzhi raised his eyes and looked at the vast white mist in front of the mountain, "It depends on Bai Luoshang's luck." ”

Feiyu looked at her and wondered, "What does the pavilion master mean by this?"

Zhao Qingzhi said coldly: "If it is a natural phenomenon, of course it won't take long. If it's man-made, it's hard to say. ”

Feiyu became more and more surprised: "What does the pavilion master mean is that this fog is man-made?"

Zhao Qingzhi did not answer, not to answer, naturally he did not deny it.
