The crescent moon is like a silver hook, gently hanging in the Milky Way starry sky.

The hazy brilliance poured into the verdant bamboo forest, as if giving these emerald bamboos fresh life, making them like girls dressed in tulle, standing in the warm spring breeze, dancing shyly, swaying graceful figures.

Zhao Bufan and Zhu Lian, who were chasing the black shadow, gradually entered the depths of the bamboo forest and deeply felt this unique bamboo forest.

It's so beautiful and full of dreamy luster.

If he didn't want to chase the black shadow in front of him, Zhao Bufan would definitely take Zhu Lian to stop, stroll forward, and feel the beauty of this bamboo forest.

Zhu Lian was also a little annoyed.

She really likes this bamboo forest very much, but now this kind of chase is a terrible scenery, which makes her feel a strong resentment in her heart.

Suddenly, the dark shadow in front of him stopped, as if turning back to look at the two of them.

It's a pity that because it is too far away, the night is like a black curtain blocking Zhao Bufan's vision, and he can't see what he looks like, and he can't even tell the difference between men and women.

"Who the hell are you?"

Zhao Bufan asked in a deep voice when he mentioned the internal force, and the voice mixed with true qi reverberated in the depths of the bamboo forest for a long time.

The black shadow did not answer, and as soon as his body turned, he suddenly changed direction, and quickly ran to the left, as if he had scurried into a canyon, and was never seen again.

Zhao Bufan and Zhu Lian rushed to catch up, and in a few blinks they came to the place where he was standing earlier, and hurriedly looked to the left.

In an instant, the two were stunned......

It's a small canyon with crystal clear streams meandering through it, green bamboos and shy weeping willows standing quietly at the water's edge, and flashing fireflies all over it, like a jumping elf playing happily.

Ten! hundreds, thousands!

Thousands, densely packed, no one can count exactly how many!

The light they emit makes the depths of the canyon seem to be lit up, mixed with the tulle given by the moonlight, which really makes this canyon like a warm fairyland!!

At this moment, under a huge willow tree by the stream, a beautiful woman sat quietly.

Her facial features are like pink carvings, a pair of jade pendants hang from her small ears, a jade necklace on her chest, her wrists and ankles are sterling silver chains, her close-fitting outfit wraps her beautiful figure, lazily leaning against a huge tree root, her white feet gently lapping the stream, and countless fireflies flying and circling above her head.

"Little junior sister?"

"She's Sister Xueling?

Zhao Bufan was the first to exclaim, and Zhu Lian also reacted.

At this moment, Xue Ling was like a fairy in the bamboo forest, and she didn't pay attention to the voices of the two when she heard them, and looked at her feet that kept slapping the stream.

"Is it beautiful here?"

"It's so beautiful!How did Sister Xue Ling find here?Was that black shadow you just now?Are you trying to bring us here?" Zhu Lian instantly jumped with joy, not even caring why Xue Ling appeared here.

"Hmm!" Xue Ling nodded slightly, her voice like a mosquito, but it was very clear in this silent canyon.

Zhao Bufan was also shocked by the beauty at the moment, and after calming down, his heart was full of joy, and he wanted to know why Xue Ling was here.

"Little junior sister, you haven't heard from you for so long, where did you go?"

"Miss me?" Xue Ling finally raised her head with a sweet smile on her face.

"Huh?"

Zhao Bufan was stunned, looking at the sweet smile on Xue Ling's face, he was speechless, this kind of beauty was something he had never seen in Xue Ling.

In the past, Xue Ling always changed in a triple identity, sometimes charming, sometimes charming, sometimes indifferent, as if everyone was her, but it seemed that everyone was not her, but now it is different, this is a pure smile from the heart.

Especially in this fairyland-like canyon, the light of the moonlight and fireflies gives this smile a dreamy luster.

Zhu Lian was stunned.

"Wow, Sister Xueling laughs so beautifully. ”

Zhao Bufan was even more stunned, he was a little overwhelmed, and he couldn't figure out what Xue Ling's situation was now, but what made him even more unbelievable was that Xue Ling actually smiled even sweeter after hearing Zhu Lian's praise.

"Are you Sister Lian'er?"

"Yes, I'm Zhu Lian, and my sister knows me?" Zhu Lian said in surprise.

"Of course you do, but why did you make yourself look weird?" Xue Ling asked suspiciously.

"It's too good to dress up, it's inconvenient to go far away!"

"Are you afraid that those men will slighten you?"

Zhu Lian smiled: "Sort of!"

Xue Ling glanced at her, still maintaining a sweet smile, her clear eyes were full of doubts: "He thinned you with his eyes, you gouged out his eyes, and thinned you with your hands, you just cut off his hands?"

“......”

Zhu Lian was speechless.

Zhao Bufan finally believed that the beauty he saw in front of him was Xue Ling, and from beginning to end, only the last sentence could be regarded as Xue Ling's style.

But why is Xue Ling here?

By the way, there are a lot of people from the rivers and lakes in Bowang Town, what are the Qinglian Sword Songs competing for?

Could it be that Xue Ling is also here for this Qinglian Sword Song?

Thinking of this, Zhao Bufan hurriedly asked, "Little junior sister, what is the Qinglian Sword Song related to your coming to Bowang Town?"

In an instant, the sweet smile on Xue Ling's face quickly dissipated, and she once again returned to the indescribable coldness she once had, as if the sweetness she had been for a long time just now was all an illusion.

"Qinglian Sword Song, we were forced to flee everywhere because of this Qinglian Sword Song!"

"We?" Zhao Bufan was stunned.

"Yes, us!"

Before Zhao Bufan could react, a voice lacking qi suddenly came from behind the boulder in the depths of the canyon.

Immediately after, a strong figure walked out there, although the temples had gray hair, but the face did not show age, but at the moment the face was pale, the steps were vain, and the spirit seemed a little sluggish, and it looked like he had a very serious illness.

The moment he saw this person clearly, not only Zhao Bufan was taken aback, but Zhu Lian let out an exclamation in an instant.

"Daddy!!"

"Lian'er!"

The pale Zhu Bocai forced himself to squeeze out a smile.

Zhao Bufan and Zhu Lian, who reacted quickly, hurriedly rushed over, and Zhu Lian threw himself directly into Zhu Bocai's arms.

"Dad, why are you here, what's wrong with you?

"Father-in-law!" Zhao Bufan also stepped forward and saluted.

Zhu Bocai forced himself to smile and patted Zhu Lian's pink back, then gently pushed her away, turned to look at Zhao Bufan, and sighed softly: "What kind of Qinglian Sword Song has hurt me and Ling'er miserably." ”

Zhao Bufan was very puzzled: "What is the Qinglian Sword Song?

Zhu Bocai was bored, and suddenly asked, "Do you know the three uniques of the Tang Dynasty?"

"The Three Uniques of the Tang Dynasty?" Zhao Bufan didn't know why he asked this, but he had seen it in the book, and nodded quickly: "Emperor Wenzong of the previous dynasty personally issued an edict to canonize Zhang Xu, a grass saint who is good at crazy cursive calligraphy, Li Bai, a poet who is good at poetry and songs, and Pei Min, a sword saint who is good at sword dance. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Bocai suspiciously.

"Could this Qinglian Sword Song have something to do with the three of them?"

Zhu Bocai nodded, and then asked, "Then do you know that Li Bai once followed Pei Min to learn sword dancing?"

"There is this rumor in the wild history, but it is not recorded in the history books!"

Seeing that he knew everything, Zhu Bocai took a deep breath and said with a bitter smile: "After Li Bai followed the sword saint Pei Min to learn swords, he gradually explored his own martial arts with his talent through heaven and earth, he closely combined swordsmanship with poetry, and the internal force operated like poetry rhyme, each of his poems can be used as a move, the sword moves are beautiful, unpredictable, and can be called peerless swordsmanship, the premise is that you must learn the general outline and special qi training method, and this general outline and qi training method is the Qinglian Sword Song." ”

"So powerful?"

Zhao Bufan was surprised, he couldn't believe it, although he knew that Li Bai's swordsmanship was good, but he didn't expect it to be the peak.

"Father-in-law, then why does this Qinglian Sword Song have anything to do with you and the little junior sister?"

"Speaking ......"

Zhu Bocai just opened his mouth, and Xue Ling, who had been sitting quietly for a long time next to him, had already walked over, and directly held Zhao Bufan's arm, with that sweet smile on his face, and hurriedly interjected: "Uncle Zhu sent an envoy to Dali earlier, everything was going well, I didn't expect a sudden change in Dali, thirty-seven major tribes rose up in rebellion, and the king of Dali, Duan Heyu, urgently ordered the powerful Gao family to lead troops to quell the rebellion, but I didn't think that the Gao family also had bad intentions and made Dali a mess.

Uncle Zhu felt that the civil strife in Dali was not a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty, so he did his best to assist Duan Heyu to stabilize the government and put forward many suggestions, but he was persecuted by conspiracy and seriously injured. Duan Heyu then took Uncle Zhu to Tianlong Temple to heal and recuperate, but by chance, he found this Qinglian Sword Song from the collection of Tianlong Temple.

Because this Qinglian sword song is written in general with poetry and songs, the general outline of martial arts and the practice of qi are hidden in the poetry fans, so the great monks of Tianlong Temple thought that it was ordinary poetry, and never paid too much attention to it, but put it together with books such as the Book of Poetry, Uncle Zhu had nothing to do to find some books to read, so he found the Qinglian sword song, and with Uncle Zhu's poetry cultivation, he naturally also realized the practice of the Qinglian sword song.

At that time, Uncle Zhu was very happy and whispered to me, but I didn't keep my mouth shut, and accidentally told the imperial doctor who assisted Duan Heyu in treating my illness. After that, nothing major happened, and we didn't care too much, and then the civil strife in Dali became more and more serious, and the situation gradually got out of control, more than three months later, Duan Heyu told Uncle Zhu that he couldn't control the situation a little, and asked Uncle Zhu to return to the Great Song Dynasty first.

Uncle Zhu had no choice but to take me back to the Great Song Dynasty first, I didn't think that something would happen on the road soon, not only did there be many Dali people who wanted to kill us, but even the people in the rivers and lakes of the Great Song Dynasty came, and the people in the Dali Dynasty wanted to kill us in order to take revenge, and the people in the rivers and lakes of the Great Song Dynasty were instigated, because Uncle Zhu had Qinglian Sword Song in his hand and was leaked by the imperial doctor in Dali.

In order to ensure that the guards of the mission can carry Duan Heyu's letters and valuables back to Beijing safely, Uncle Zhu took the initiative to leave the mission and planned to return to Beijing alone.

But we finally sneaked back to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but continued to be secretly pursued by a large number of people in the rivers and lakes, at this time Uncle Zhu's seal and token were gone, unable to go to the government to prove his identity, and could not get the help of the government, so he could only run from Shuzhong all the way here, but he didn't think that he was trapped by others again, and he didn't dare to show up at all, so he temporarily hid here. ”

Xue Ling slowly told her and Zhu Bocai's tortuous escape experience, but Zhao Bufan didn't have the heart to sigh at all, but looked at her with a shocked face, because Xue Ling really looked like a normal person at this time, there was no crazy hysteria, no changing mask, whether it was demeanor or speech, it was completely out of his heart, and he also held his hand affectionately.

This made him instantly ecstatic, and his voice trembled with excitement.

"Xue Ling, Duan Heyu cured you of your illness?"
