When I woke up, it was already afternoon, and the sky outside the window was still very bright. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe stone house I live in is also strange, it is cold and windy outside, but here it is surprisingly warm, and I don't feel the chill at all.

I walked out of the stone house, and there was silence in the attic, and a few fires were burning slowly. Passing the stairs, I went up to the second floor of the attic and sat down against the railing. The sky in the Western Regions is not like the Central Plains, it is dark very late, and a round of warm sun is still hanging high above the snow-capped mountains in the west. At this time, if you stand in the Central Plains and look at it, I am afraid that the sun has set.

In the distance of the attic, there are still many Kunlun disciples dancing with swords in the huge square, and there is a burst of laughter from time to time, and there are many people busy back and forth between the beams of the hall in the distance. Several quaint and vast porphyry temples stand in the towering snow-capped mountains, as if they have existed since ancient times, appearing and disappearing in the smoke and clouds, an ancient and serene scene. I really admire the ancestors of the Kunlun sect for being able to establish such a large-scale sect in such a place and become famous all over the world.

I thought a little self-deprecatingly, before I stepped into the Kunlun faction, I still imagined that the Iron Sword Sect would become a big sect in the rivers and lakes in time, but now it seems that I always feel that my idea is too unrealistic, and the Iron Sword Sect wants to become a big sect like the Kunlun faction, and the hope is too slim. Maybe the Iron Sword Sect will become a sect like the Giant Eagle Gate, and there is a great possibility that this is the case. At that time, the Iron Sword Sect will be able to raise its eyebrows more or less on the rivers and lakes, right?

I pulled out the shadow chasing sword, and the purple and blue colors on the shadow chasing sword flashed with the slanting sun. The shadow chasing sword groaned constantly, curling endlessly, just as her voice was crisp. With a long sigh, I inserted the Shadow Chasing Sword back in.

It's getting late. The sunset was half on the top of the snow-capped mountains, and the golden brilliance began to slowly become as red as blood, but between the thousands of mountains, it seemed to be covered with a veil of blood.

Just as he could see it, suddenly, a laugh sounded behind him: "Ten years of leaves, ten years of flowering, and another ten years of fruit, hehe, Gu Shaoxia, do you want to taste this blue ice fruit?"

I turned my head and saw Jiang Shun coming from the staircase, with a smile on his face that had never changed, his mouth bulging, holding a few blue fruits in his left hand and a blue fruit in his right hand. I hurriedly stood up, hugged him, and said, "Meet Senior Jiang." ”

Jiang Shun bowed his head at me, sat down next to me with a big grin, stretched out his left hand, and said, "Here, the blue ice fruit I just picked will give you a few to eat." ”

I pinched a blue ice fruit from his hand, only to feel that the blue fruit the size of a small half fist was cold to the touch, shaped like a lychee, but the surface was covered with a layer of crystal ice chips. Does this little fruit take thirty years to bear fruit? I wondered, "This is the Blue Ice Fruit?"

Jiang Shun stuffed the blue ice fruit in his right hand into his mouth, pinched another one from his left hand, nodded and said: "The little dolls of the Kunlun faction look so white and tender, most of them eat this blue ice fruit, come, eat one more, maybe you can have a little white face if you eat too much." ”

I couldn't cry or laugh, pinching the blue ice fruit in my hand and looking at it non-stop, since we entered the Huoshu Gorge, Jiang Shun had already gone up to Kunlun Mountain to pick the blue ice fruit, I didn't expect this blue ice fruit to look like this. I put it to my mouth and took a bite, the thin ice on the shell of the blue ice fruit melted in my mouth, but it overflowed with bright red juice, and Fang Yiru only felt crispy and sweet, with a pleasant fragrance. I couldn't help but swallow the remaining half of the blue ice fruit in one gulp, and said with a smile: "It's so sweet." ”

There will be such sweet fruits in the Kunlun pie, no wonder Jiang Shun left us to pick this blue ice fruit. Jiang Shun smiled, his small eyes narrowed into a slit, and said: "Don't look at this little blue ice fruit, there are many benefits, if you use medicine, the effect of rejuvenating the face and prolonging life will be better, and the five of them can only be eaten in the Kunlun faction." ”

I was stunned and said, "Why?"

Jiang Shun took the remaining few blue ice fruits into his arms and said, "Because there is only one blue ice tree in this world, and a blue ice tree only bears thirty fruits in thirty years, hehe." ”

"A blue ice tree?"

I was taken aback. When I came, Jiang Shun didn't tell us that there was only one blue ice tree, I only said that the blue ice fruit is a fruit that grows on Kunlun Mountain, and the disciples of the Kunlun sect are all fair-skinned, and Xu is also caused by often eating this blue ice fruit, thinking that there will be a lot of blue ice trees here, and such a big Kunlun Mountain, how can there be a piece of blue ice forest. Jiang Shun went to pick the blue ice fruit, according to what I thought before, it was nothing more than a mountain fruit, not a stealing pick. Now that it seems that this Blue Ice Fruit is still a rare fruit, it is no wonder that only the Five Saints of the Kunlun Sect can taste it. There were as many as seven or eight blue ice fruits in his hand just now, counting the ones we ate, didn't he pick nearly half of the blue ice fruits on the blue ice tree this time? For some reason, a feeling of being a thief suddenly rose in his heart.

I said a little weakly: "If we steal the Blue Ice Fruit like this, will they ...... the Fire Heart seniors?"

Before I finished speaking, Jiang Shun stretched out his hand to interrupt me, and said with a smile: "Gu Xiaoyou, although Jiang has stolen countless times in his life, and this time I didn't steal, not only did I not steal this time, but I didn't steal it last time I came, these blue ice fruits were given by Shaobai Dao people." ”

The last time must have been thirty years ago, right? I wondered, "Blue Ice Fruit is so rare, how can a young white Dao person be willing to give you so much?"

Jiang Shun was also suddenly stunned, the smile on his face was put away, and he turned his head to look at the snow-capped mountains in the distance. At this time, most of the sunset has been hidden in the distance on the top of the snow-capped mountains, and the blood-like slanting light is sprinkled all over the sky, whether it is the attic square or the house hall, they are all immersed in this piece of blood. Jiang Shun's eyes seemed to have a look of memory, his height was not high, and his back was a little bent, at this moment, looking at the distance in a trance, he changed his previous hippie smiling face, and the whole person was faintly depressed in silence.

After a long time, I saw him suddenly shake his head and smile, and said, "Let's go, it's time to eat, if you don't rush over, I'm afraid that the people of Huoxin Dao will be a little unhappy." ”

Without waiting for me to speak, he turned and walked towards the staircase, just as he had been grinning when he had come up.

Looking at his back, I was a little silent. In the short time he looked at the distant mountains, there was an indescribable smell on his body, as if this place and this scene reminded him of the past in his heart, which made his whole person not so happy. It's a little lonely, but also a little bitter.

......

In the evening, the Huoxin Dao people received the wind and washed the dust for us in the Mingkong Palace, and when Jiang Shun and I rushed over, there were already a lot of people sitting in the hall, both men and women. However, I didn't see the figure of the Eighteen Dao Brothers, and only Cheng Fuhai, Jiang Shun, Su Qingyao and I came to the Mingkong Palace, and the rest were high-ranking Kunlun Sect Taoists and elders, and then several personal disciples of the Kunlun Five Sages. Except for the Kunlun Five Sages, these people are all people I haven't seen, and I haven't even seen Changfeng's figure. Listening to them and Cheng Fuhai talking eloquently, I had mixed feelings for a while, and I never imagined that I could sit with these people and have a banquet. Speaking of which, I was also stained with Cheng Fuhai's thin noodles to attend this banquet.

During the banquet, many people came to clink glasses with us, and greeted each other with Cheng Fuhai and Jiang Shun, talking and laughing. Most of the people who clink glasses with me nod and smile, rarely talk to me, I always drink and don't take the initiative to talk to them, and I don't know what to say. During the entire banquet, the Fire Heart Dao and Cheng Fuhai didn't say a word about the Death Swamp and the Demon Sect, and what they said was all old words, and they also said a lot of interesting things.

The feast was gone, and it was getting late. We said goodbye to the Huoxin Daoist and walked towards the residence, Cheng Fuhai and we did not live together, he and Ji Yang lived alone in an attic, not far from our attic, just by the way.

At the banquet, I didn't drink much wine or eat, and I couldn't let go of eating in the face of these people, and I only tasted it in a small bite, and I was half full. Raise your head, the night sky is high and cold, only a half-closed moon and a little star hang, the white light illuminates the mountain road, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance are clearly visible, a piece of silver.

Su Qingyao drank a little too much, slightly drunk, walked beside me and said, "Zhuang Master, do you think the Demon Sect Holy Maiden will go to the Divine Dragon Cave this time? ”

The biogas of the Death Swamp will weaken once every ten years, and the Seven Great Sects will send people to gather the Kunlun Sect every time, counting this time, the Seven Great Sects have gathered for the third time. Today's Demon Sect is powerful, and can compete with the seven major sects and eleven major forces in the rivers and lakes, which is really not to be underestimated, the Shenlong Cave is the headquarters of the Demon Sect, and the corpse of the spirit snake is buried in the Shenlong Cave, if the Demon Sect returns to the Shenlong Cave and gets the spirit snake, its strength will overwhelm many sects in the rivers and lakes. And this is obviously what the Seven Great Sects don't want to see, and that's why every ten years, the Seven Great Sects gather at the Kunlun Sect and go to the Death Swamp to wait together.

Now I already know the secret things in this, and when I first heard Cheng Fuhai say it, I also knew the stakes in it, but thinking about it in hindsight, the matter of the two realms of righteousness and demons seems to have little to do with me. If there is, it's just a friendship between me and her.

However, there was always a little bit of confusion in my mind. At that time, Cheng Fuhai told me that Ma Qianli would become that ghost because he had sucked the blood of the spirit snake, and later I learned that the Miao master, Master Yuanhui, Jiang Shun, Yu Wensheng and others I met also changed their appearance by sucking the blood of the spirit snake, and even in my opinion, the Qinglong Altar Master who chased us here before was probably the same. But these people obviously changed their appearance because they were poisoned, what does it have to do with the blood of the spirit snake? Could it be that the blood of the spirit snake is poison? Such speculation is obviously unlikely, if the blood of the spirit snake is really poison, how could the Seven Great Sects and the Demon Sect be desperate to snatch it, and they will struggle to find an antidote afterwards? And even if the blood of the spirit snake is poison, it is impossible for Li Yanzong to obtain it easily.

But on the way here, when I asked Cheng Fuhai about this, Cheng Fuhai still told me that Ma Qianli and the others did change their appearance after sucking the blood of the spirit snake, and this was also something that Jiang Shun agreed.

At this time, Cheng Fuhai smiled and said, "This old man doesn't know, we can come here by appointment, and the other things will be handled by the Seven Great Gates, and we only need to pick the ghost head grass." (To be continued.) )
