Chapter 40 (19)

Nangong Xue was looking back on the old things, but she didn't know that the old man was also immersed in the thoughts of the past, and said with a wry smile: "How could I not recognize the Cangquan Dragon Yin......?

Nangong Xue heard it half clearly, and felt surprised and inexplicable, without waiting for her to ask, the old man's expression was solemn, and he said: "No matter how good the sword is, if the user is a mediocre talent, it will be difficult to exert the power of the sword." Whether you are worthy of this sword or not is a good test. Alas, the old man was going up the mountain to collect ginseng, but he didn't want to do it with the dolls, and he didn't bring weapons with him...... "Let's do it," he said, pulling out a rattan from the bamboo basket on his back, "and when I get older, my hands and feet are no longer good." Just use this thing and you're going to be done!"

If it were to be played by someone else, this move could be said to be a great contempt for the opponent. But for the old man in front of him who couldn't figure out the roots, Nangong Xue really didn't dare to slack off, put on a full posture, and said, "Senior, I'm ready." The old man nodded, his gaze still lingering on the blue sky and white clouds, and he had not yet taken it back. The rattan in his hand had already danced into the air, drawing a beam of light, piercing the sky, and rushing towards Nangong Xue.

In fact, this is not a spell, but a sword qi to stimulate the flow of qi, causing the air to form a whirlpool, and the snow light refracts the beam between the rolls, which seems to be like a bolt of lightning.

This move can be described as a preemptive move, although Nangong Xue was mentally prepared, she was still taken aback, not to mention that the person who made the move was still such a thin and shriveled old man who looked weak and couldn't help but be able to resist the wind? In a panic, he bent down sharply, put his hands on the ground, and saw the sword light whistling overhead. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the sword light turned around in mid-air and came back in circles.

Nangong Xue got up halfway, and was forced to flip in the air before suppressing the momentum. Swinging the sword and striking, this sword light is substantial, and it seems that every beam of light is a tough attack. Nangong Xue fought and retreated, stepped on the edge of the cliff where he landed, and stepped on a few stones with a hula sound. In a critical situation, he spun his heel, rolled over and volleyed, and jumped to a flat place. finally regained his footing, but his face was pale with horror, and his face was covered with cold sweat.

The old man sighed, and his meaning was clear, "Only to this extent?" Swinging the rattan in the air, another sword qi enveloped Nangong Xue from the side.

Nangong Xue's body shook subconsciously, forcing the rattan to cling to the side of the cliff and hitting the stone wall fiercely. His shoulders were sore and painful, his head and neck were buried deeply, his heart was sad and ashamed, and he said secretly: "In the end, I told him right, no matter how sharp the sword is, if the swordsman is a mediocre talent, he can only spoil the sharp weapon." Not bad...... I'm not worthy of this sword. ”

The old man sighed again and slammed the rattan on the ground. Nangong Xue also said that he was old and weak, and he couldn't hold on, so he would rest for a while. But the next moment, he saw cracks spreading towards the place where he was standing, and the surrounding rocks were splashing, and this move seemed to come straight from the ground.

Nangong Xue not only forgot to fight back, even if she was concentrated, she couldn't fight back against this move. At the center of the storm, such a landslide-like attack can sweep the contents of the array into the ground in the blink of an eye, wringing them into flying ashes.

Xuan Shuang had been watching the battle all along, and at this moment he suddenly jumped up and slashed at the ground with a sword. It is also strange to say that the originally fierce offensive actually disappeared invisibly when it touched the edge of his sword. At the end, Xuanshuang lifted the long sword, and the cracked rock turned around and went straight for the old man. Xuan Shuang snorted coldly and said, "But it's just a small skill of carving insects, it's not a big deal." You go in first, and I'll compare with this senior. ”

In normal times, Nangong Xue is never willing to put others in danger. But compared with Li Yijie, it seems that everything is no longer important. He said, "Okay, then be careful!" and rushed to the cave.

It would not be difficult for the old man to stop her. But somehow, she was allowed to break through. sighed: "You want to help her, but you don't know that if you do this, it is likely to hurt her." Xuan Shuang snorted and said, "You don't care about this, right?"

The old man smiled faintly and said, "Okay, sure enough, it was the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves." Children, look at your martial arts and momentum, you are outstanding among the younger generations, and you must also be a well-known figure. Before the old man starts with the same person, there is a rule, you report your name first. ”

Xuan Shuang pulled out his posture, made a half-respectful gesture, and said without humility or arrogance: "The younger generation Ling Shuang Ember will teach the seniors the high moves." ”

Li Yijie suppressed the thousand thoughts in his heart, his fists were clenched, and an extremely unnatural flush surged all over his body. From time to time, you can hear the crackling of bones, and the blood veins protrude under the skin, and they can't stop beating. Finally, as if the epidermis was cracked, blood spurted out of the ten fingers, soles of the feet, chest, back, and various acupuncture points at the same time, and sprinkled all over the corners of the main hall.

The pool of blood seemed to sense the smell of blood, and immediately surged uneasily, setting off a wave of heat at the same time. Li Yijie opened his hands and stood in the wind, as if he had become one with heaven and earth, and the blood was rushing from his body at a more rapid speed. What is your mind at this moment? Have you ever regretted it? Thinking that life is short and sad, you can't be self-controlled. I came in a hurry, and I went in a hurry, and I couldn't help but smile.

——————

Nangong Xue ran into the cave, and was listening to a crackling sound, and a group of black bats flew out of the cave. Nangong Xue screamed and raised her arms to protect her head and face. It took a while for the bats to disperse, Nangong Xue was so aggrieved that she was about to cry, and tears welled up in her eyes, and she immediately reminded herself: "It's so useless, how can you save your senior brother?"

The shaft of the arrow was touched, and a long arrow targeted her, and a salvo was fired. Nangong Xue's coat had already been unbuttoned, so she tore it off, covered it on top of her head, and wrapped her body tightly.

——————

Li Yijie felt the blood flowing out of his body, and it seemed that his vitality was rapidly draining. His mind gradually went blank, his eyes became more and more blurry, and the scenes in his mind came to mind with memories of the past.

When I was carefree in Huashan, when I was praised by my master, I smiled brightly, and today, that happiness has become a thing of the past, and I can't recall it; I remember going down the mountain with Nangong Xue, going through the wind and rain together on the rivers and lakes, and the two of them have their own feelings and sorrows; I became the leader of the martial arts alliance in a daze, and I had an extra burden on my shoulders out of thin air; I met Shen Shiyun again in the palace, knowing that I had no weight, but I still resolutely put all my responsibilities aside and left behind; I led everyone to exterminate the Demon Sect, but on the way, I didn't forget to quietly pay attention to Nangong Xue, and I was jealous of the wind and jealousy in the dark night; I went through hardships with my sister in the ancient cemetery palace, and secretly promised my heart; and quarreled in the cave, Nangong Xue left in a bad mood, and reunited Xia Shengxun in the original wing mansion, the two met each other but did not recognize each other, only worried that they would lose her forever. Temptation again and again, disappointment again and again, crying again and again; hugging each other in the house, solemnly promising her: "Whether you are Nangong Xue or Xia Shengxun, you will always be my favorite woman"; the accident on the eve of the wedding; in front of Lu Qian's corpse, Nangong Xue said goodbye to him with tears. After this year, both of them have missed too much and can never go back to the past. Remembering her affectionate kiss with Nangong Xue, she never expected that this was the happiest moment in her life, but it was also the most painful moment. The last picture is of herself placing the teacup beside her, "Desperate." When you drink this glass of water, you and I will break off the relationship between you and me in this life." When he turned around, tears flowed in his heart, his face was scarred, and his heart was broken.

It's good to think about it, Xue'er should have forgotten herself by now, and she will still have a new life and a new lover by her side in the future. And the two people who were once the most involved will eventually become strangers. Today, although he is destined to die, he has no hatred or hatred for the arrangement of the sky. I only hope that my departure will not cast a dark cloud on her sky, and it is enough to smile and stare at her.

——————

Nangong Xue jumped up again and again between the stone slabs of the Flame Pool, regardless of the rising fireballs, her clothes were ragged, and her face was scorched black in several places. Hair stands on end. All I could say in my heart was "Senior brother, even if I beg you, you ...... But you can't do anything!"

——————

Li Yijie fell to the ground, struggled to move with his arms, and crawled in front of the pool of blood step by step. In order to prevent his blood from drying up and then unable to get up, he first climbed to the edge of the blood pool, sat on it, looked up at the gray roof, and gradually dissipated his consciousness. Relying on Shi Qing's scattered gaze, he finally closed his eyes and said secretly: "That's it, just ...... That's it. With a plop, a splash of water splashed on the surface of the pool, and a human figure poured in from the edge of the pool, showing the word "big", like an ownerless floating corpse, floating on the surface of the pool.

As soon as Li Yijie entered the blood pool, it seemed that his strength immediately recovered, and his fists were clenched, trying to mobilize the remaining trace of true qi in his body. A layer of air surged around his side, and the blood in the pool was suddenly pulled by an external force, and immediately gathered towards him in all directions. Wisps of bright red liquid poured into the blood mouths that burst out all over his body, and strange red threads rushed between the blood vessels.

At this moment, a call suddenly sounded in front of the door: "Senior brother!" The voice was heartbreaking, as if Meng Jiangnu was crying down the Great Wall. Directly causing the grass and trees to mourn and the listeners to tears, a wave of sadness suddenly surged towards Li Yijie, infarcting in his chest, as if blocking a big stone with sharp edges and corners.

He immediately sat up and looked at the thin figure standing against the wall in front of the door, a person who had wandered thousands or tens of thousands of times in his heart, and would never forget even if he became a devil who could not be allowed in the world and fell into the abyss and hell from which he could never recover. muttered, "Cher, you...... Why are you here? I'm not dreaming?"

Nangong Xue stepped forward with tears in her eyes, stood still in front of the blood pool, stretched out a hand from afar, and said, "Senior brother, go back with me." Li Yijie's mind was at a loss, and he didn't know where he was. Raised his hand indifferently, held it with her, and stepped out of the pool of blood. Nangong Xue had a tear hanging on her cheek, and repeated it in a soft voice: "Follow me back." ”

As soon as Li Yijie left the blood pool, the abnormal surge wrapped in his whole body immediately receded, and the consciousness that had already dissipated in a trance cleared again, and he shook Nangong Xue's palm away suddenly, and said viciously: "What else do you want to go back? I can't go back! The ritual of exchanging blood is already halfway through, and I must not give up halfway! I am destined to sacrifice my life for my fellow martial artists, no matter what kind of reputation I leave behind! This is my destiny and my destiny! You leave for me immediately, leave immediately!"

Nangong Xuedi was about to fall with tears, choked up, and said astringently: "Senior brother, you are so ruthless." Not only did they leave me without making a sound, but they also wanted to erase all my memories? Our memories are unforgettable, how can a bottle of medicine be forgotten? You owe me an explanation for so many things. Now I won't pursue it anymore, as long as you go back with me, let's just treat it as if none of this happened, and still live a good life. ”

Li Yijie shook off her hand, forced himself to be ruthless, and said: "Explain? I have nothing to explain! On the contrary, you, should you tell me, how did you appear here? Ha, I don't need to say it, I also know! Xuanshuang, this stinky boy, I should know that he is unreliable!" Nangong Xue said: "Don't blame him, I forced him to say it." Originally...... Sure enough, you collaborated. There was a slight tremor in his voice.

Li Yijie sneered: "What is forcible force? If he is really a good brother, even if someone else puts a knife on his neck, he should not betray his friends!" Nangong Xue said: "Yes? People didn't ask you, so they made their own decisions, so you were angry, right? Then did you think about me? Not only did you hide it from me, but you even wanted to erase my memory, have you considered my feelings? Or am I in your heart, just like this, there is no value?"
