Chapter 246: Snowy Night

Zhong Qinglu's body shook slightly, as if she couldn't believe her ears, she looked at Shen Shi in a daze, and after a while, she said softly: "So you...... That's what you think of me?"

Shen Shi was speechless, and after a while, he forced a smile and said, "Qinglu, let's have a word, you are very good now, but you ...... back then."

"Don't say it!" Zhong Qinglu suddenly interrupted her loudly, for some reason, her eyes were a little red, she quarreled with Zhong Qingzhu just now, and asked Sun You, although she could see that she was extremely angry, but she never showed signs of sad crying, but at this moment, it was as if her heart suddenly collapsed, and there seemed to be water vapor floating in her eyes, and then she clenched her teeth and glanced at Shen Shi steadily, stomped her foot suddenly, and turned around directly without saying a word, ran towards the passage at the exit of the cave, and rushed out.

A cold wind that pierced the bone marrow seemed to blow in from outside the cave with her figure, making the people in the cave shiver.

Everyone in the cave looked at each other, and after a while, everyone reacted suddenly, Shen Shi's body shook and screamed Qinglu, and chased out, Gan Ze and Sun You also hurriedly followed, and after a while, there were only two people left in this originally lively and warm cave, and the warmth had long since disappeared, leaving only a little cold air, and even the lit bonfire looked weak.

In the distance, it seemed that the anxious cries of the men outside the cave could still be heard, as if they were trying to find Zhong Qinglu in the heavy wind and snow, and in the quiet cave, Zhong Qingzhu and Yongye stood across the fire, and their eyes swept over and glanced at each other.

Zhong Qingzhu's face was calm, he slowly walked to the pile of flames and sat down, and casually picked up the two firewoods next to him and added them. Tongues of fire spread in, burning on new wood, and soon the flames were bright again, and the cavern seemed to be warm and comfortable again.

The footsteps sounded, Zhong Qingzhu raised his head slightly, and saw that Yongye also walked to the fire and sat down on the opposite side.

Zhong Qingzhu retracted her gaze and looked at the flames in front of her again, the burning and flickering firelight was reflected in her bright eyes, silent but burning. After a while, she suddenly said lightly: "Everyone has gone out to chase her, why doesn't the master go?"

Yongye sat quietly opposite the fire, and said: "The little monk is shallow, and he doesn't dare to be the title of this master, Senior Sister Zhong is too awarded." After a pause, he said, "But the little monk does have some doubts and wants to ask for advice, I wonder if Senior Sister Zhong can solve my doubts?"

Zhong Qingzhu's face was calm, and he said: "Since Senior Brother Yongye calls me Senior Sister for the sake of everyone who is also a disciple of the Four Righteous Famous Sects, then he is not an outsider, if you have something to ask." ”

Yongye pondered for a while, and said solemnly: "You and Senior Sister Zhong Qinglu are both sisters of the same sect and have been in the same sect for many years, and they have always thought that harmony is precious in Buddhism, but I don't know why you are so strict today, although the little monk does not know the past, he still feels a little ......."

Speaking of this, Yongye paused, as if he didn't know what words to use, and his face showed hesitation, but Zhong Qingzhu smiled indifferently and said, "Do you think I'm a little excessive?"

Yongye frowned, and said: "Senior Sister Zhong is serious, the little monk just thinks that with the relationship between the two, maybe some words can be tactful, and it is okay not to hurt the harmony." ”

"Senior brother's words, I don't understand. Zhong Qingzhu said lightly, "What did I do wrong? In terms of realm, I am stronger than her; in terms of family background/scenery, now I am also a personal disciple of a real person; and in terms of appearance and posture, I am confident that I will not lose to any young girl." Why, then, does everyone think I have to humble her?"

Yongye hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't mean that, I just think that maybe Senior Sister Qinglu is innocent by nature and can't accept such sharp words......"

Zhong Qingzhu's eyes lowered slightly, and there was no unusual expression on Qingmei's face, she just quietly looked at the burning flames in front of her, and after a while, she seemed to hear her laugh again, but this time in the laughter, there was a bit of faintness in the lightness:

"Oh, she just said a little heavier, and she couldn't stand it?" she reached out and gently flicked the wood from the flame, and the light of the fire reflected the skin of her fair cheeks, as if her cheeks were as clear as jade. And her words continued,

"Then if that's the case, if you change to a cold rebuke in front of you, or a contempt in your eyes, or even a slap in the face, if something like this happens, then what?

Zhong Qingzhu raised his head, looking at Yongye at the other end with a smile through the flames.

Yongye was silent suddenly, as if he had thought of something, frowned and glanced deeply at Zhong Qingzhu on the side of the flame, then folded his hands, recited a Buddha name in a low voice, and said nothing more.

On the other hand, Zhong Qingzhu on the other side didn't seem to have any happy and happy look on his face, just sat silently by the fire, looking at the burning flame in the same silence, stunned, I don't know if he also recalled the past in his heart.

※※※

The wind and snow were flying and roaring in the dark night, and when Gan Ze and Sun You ran out of the mouth of this resting cave, they were greeted by the flying snow and the boundless darkness on this snowfield, in addition to the cold that seemed to freeze people's blood, but Zhong Qinglu, who rushed out before, and Shen Shi, who was snatched out closely, were actually gone in the blink of an eye.

The surroundings were pitch black, and even with their cultivation powers that were much better than ordinary people's, they could only see a place or two feet away at most, and the distance was blurry, and for a while they couldn't tell which direction those two people were going. Standing at the entrance of the cave, Gan Ze and Sun You glanced at each other and looked at each other, and after a while, Gan Ze was a little puzzled and said, "Look for them separately?"

Sun You hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, you go to the left, I'll look to the right." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the right side in the face of the wind and snow, but then he heard Gan Ze suddenly shouting behind him, and said, "Be careful, remember not to go too far." ”

Sun You glanced back at him, only to see Gan Ze pointing to the very heavy snowfall, and said loudly: "There is too much wind and snow, and the sky is dark, if you go too far, it is easy to get lost, be careful, don't have any accidents." ”

Sun You thought about it, nodded and agreed, so the two left separately.

The night was extremely deep, the wind and snow roared at the entrance of this cave, and I don't know how much time passed, suddenly I saw a black shadow flickering in the darkness on that side, and then a figure swept back, it was Sun You. I looked out and walked around, but my whole body had turned white, and my face looked a little pale, and I didn't know if it was frozen or blown by the cold wind.

Sun You rushed back to the entrance of the cave in a few steps, the wind was blocked by the stone wall next to him, and suddenly weakened a lot, he was obviously relieved, shook his head and slapped his body hard, and suddenly the snowflakes fell like snow. Looking at it through that glimmer, Sun You's face was not good-looking, and he stood at the door and did not rush in, but turned his head and looked out.

It didn't take long for there to suddenly be movement in the other direction outside, and then a figure rushed back from the snowstorm, the action was almost exactly the same as Sun You's actions just now, he also shook his head first, and then raised his head, it was Ganze.

The two glanced at each other at the entrance of the cave, and then said in unison, "How?"

After a while, they all asked, "Have you found someone?"

As soon as the words were finished, the two of them fell silent for a moment, and after a while, Sun You smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "That's it, let's go in." ”

Gan Ze seemed to be a little worried, frowned and looked at the wind and snow outside that seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and after hesitating for a while, he still followed Sun You in, and just said in a low voice:

"Shen Shi and Zhong Qinglu, the two of them, where did they go on this dark and snowy night?"

(I had something to do in the morning, and I rushed home to code words, and then just after I finished a chapter, I received a notice that the boss of the publishing house came to see me...... I've been friends for more than ten years, and I still have to meet the boss, otherwise the boss will block me after he gets angry :) haha. That's a chapter for today, and I'm sorry to everyone. Tomorrow I will try to add more, and I will change my mind and resolutely not release the pigeons!)
