The ink in the sky slowly fades away, and the white of the fish belly slowly reveals makes people relax physically and mentally.

But such mornings were not so rosy, for the air was filled with the disgusting smell of blood, which permeated the entire courtyard.

The smell of blood attracts wild dogs, making them excited and barking incessantly.

A group of people gathered around a room, an old man was in the house, looking at the corpse, the deceased had his head and hands cut off, the head was gone, the blood had long since congealed, and the body had long been stiff. There was only Jingyun and a corpse in the house.

No one wanted to go in, no one wanted to stay in this courtyard, the smell of blood had penetrated deep into their lungs, they wanted to vomit, but they didn't dare.

Ling Quanfei didn't come in or show up, and his room was empty.

The dead man is his brother, but what about others?

The sun had risen, but it was still dark inside the room, and there stood a man in the doorway, a young man holding a sword in his hand, with a black hilt and a pale scabbard.

Jing Yun glanced up, then turned to look at Wei Sizhang's corpse, and said, "I said it was dangerous at night. ”

Qi Ying'er's face was as pale as the scabbard in his hand, "He didn't go out." ”

Jing Yun beckoned, a few servants outside the door came in, a white cloth happened to be on Wei Sizhang's headless corpse, and several people rolled up the corpse with a straw mat and carried it out of the door, and then a few more people came in to clean up the bloodstains, change the mattress, open the window for ventilation, and bring an incense burner to dispel the bloody aftertaste. A few people moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, the room actually became elegant and delicate again.

Jingyun said: "Although he didn't take half a step out of the room, he couldn't escape the night, I said, it's dangerous at night." ”

Qi Ying'er looked at Jing Yun's hand, which was trembling slightly. Jing Yun put his hands behind his back and said, "Have you seen Ling Quanfei?"

Qi Ying'er said coldly: "Last night, he came to look for me. ”

Jingyun didn't ask again, and there was no need to ask again. No matter where Ling Quanfei went, it must have something to do with Wei Sizhang's death.

Jingyun silently looked out the window, and the plum blossoms outside the window seemed to be dripping blood.

A plum blossom fell, fell in the snow, pale snow, blood-red plum. So conspicuous, yet so powerless. "It's falling. ”

Qi Ying'er was still standing at the door, thinking about everything Ling Quanfei said last night, and what about him now? He was doing that last night, and drinking so much wine had something to do with this? He was holding a sword when he came last night.

Sword!

A chill hit Qi Ying'er's whole body, and she felt sick to her stomach, wanting to vomit, but she couldn't vomit anything.

Jing Yun said lightly: "She's not in the room?"

Qi Ying'er shook her head, "He hasn't been there since he left my house last night?"

Jing Yun turned around and said, "I'm talking about Sun Qiao'er." ”

Qi Ying'er was stunned, Sun Qiao'er?

Although Qi Ying'er and Sun Qiao'er were lovers, he couldn't walk into her room because he didn't dare. He didn't dare to be so active in front of a girl, even if that girl had saved his life, even if that girl had given her heart to himself.

Could it be that Jingyun has already been to Sun Qiao'er's room? Sun Qiao'er may be asleep, or may ...... Qi Ying'er restrained herself from thinking about it, he was afraid that he would go crazy.

Jingyun said: "I'm just asking you, I haven't entered her room." I'm just curious why she didn't come with you since you're standing here. ”

Suddenly, a woman's voice outside the house said, "Because I don't want to see a corpse anymore." ”

It was Sun Qiao'er who spoke.

Her hair was simply coiled up, and her face was flushed towards the plum blossoms in the snow, her expression was much better than that of the previous days, and sure enough, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she needs a good rest.

Jing Yun looked at her and said, "It seems that Miss Sun slept soundly last night." ”

Sun Qiao'er smiled faintly and said, "Thanks to you, the environment here is really good." ”

Jingyun said: "It's just that the more beautiful the place, the more dangerous, and the more beautiful the flower, the more deadly." ”

Sun Qiao'er said: "It depends on what kind of flower it is." ”

The corners of Jing Yun's mouth twitched slightly, and he had nothing to say. Is the most beautiful flower in the world dead? The answer may only be known by one person, and it will come at a great cost.

Jing Yun looked at Qi Ying'er and said, "I said that I would tell you about Master's whereabouts this morning." ”

Qi Ying'er's eyes flashed, he seemed to have forgotten Wei Sizhang's death and Ling Quanfei's disappearance, all of this had nothing to do with him, he came here to know the whereabouts of his master.

Jing Yun said again: "I only know that your master is a man of his word, and he is also the predecessor of many people in the rivers and lakes. Although he has a high rank in the rivers and lakes, he is never arrogant, even if the Ten Swords Sect has been dispersed, the juniors on the rivers and lakes still respect your master very much. ”

Qi Ying'er's eyes widened and asked, "What does it mean that the Ten Swords Gate is scattered?"

Jing Yun said, "Didn't your master tell you?"

Qi Ying'er shook her head.

Jing Yun sighed and said, "More than twenty years ago, that was the only major event in the rivers and lakes. ”

"It was a brawl in the martial arts, a group of heroes. In just half a day, the top of Mount Emei has become a sea of blood. It was far worse and bloodier than you've ever seen. ”

Qi Ying'er listened silently.

"This battle was provoked by the White Crane Gang, and the leader of the White Crane Gang is Nangong He. He took all his disciples to participate in the martial arts meeting of the head of the Emei faction, Lingmen Shitai. Externally, it is a martial arts competition, but in fact it is a trap, in order to eradicate the Ten Swords Gate!"

"The Ten Swords Gate was the second largest gang in the world at that time, and the first big gang was Shaolin, these monks were proud of themselves and did not want to participate in this martial arts conference at all, so they assigned a little monk to hand over a letter, which wrote, 'There are many disasters in this life, don't be a dead heart'. The Shaolin abbot Yizen master already knew that this was a conspiracy at all, so he asked the little monk to go to Yuan Fangzi, the head of the Ten Swords Sect at that time, with another letter, wanting to tell him not to go to Mount Emei. ”

Who knew that before the letter was delivered, the little monk was in a different place. The perpetrators are none other than the White Crane Gang!"

In the end, Yuan Fangzi still led the disciples to go, and as soon as he arrived, he found that Master Yizen and some Shaolin disciples were also there, and there was murderous aura in their eyes, and the dark clouds pressed half of the sky. ”

No matter how Yuan Fangzi explained, Master Yizen didn't believe him, and he didn't believe that the little monk he sent was not killed by the Ten Swords Gate. Hmph, it seems that Shaolin is nothing more than that, even their abbot is just a stupid bald donkey. ”

Qi Ying'er said, "What about after that?"

Jing Yun said: "After that, there is the sea of blood, and then Yuan Fangzi died, and the Ten Sword Gate was also destroyed." And the one who washed the Ten Swords Gate in blood was Nangong He. ”

Qi Ying'er said, "Nangong He, aren't the other factions also involved?"

Jing Yun said: "The other factions finally found out that they were being used by Nangong He, but at that time, there were already many dead and wounded, and all the sects were in a mess, just thinking about saving themselves and leaving quickly." ”

Qi Ying'er said, "How were the people from the other factions injured?"

Jing Yun said: "Some were injured by the Ten Swords Gate, and some were injured by other people who were crooked by other evil sects. ”

"Those people were all invited by Nangong He, and they were invited to help him complete his conspiracy. At that time, the 'Poisonous Laughing King' Wang Kai was among them. ”

Qi Ying'er said: "What is Nangong Crane for?"

Jing Yun said: "For what? For status, for wealth, for power." ”

Qi Ying'er said: "You can get these by eradicating the Ten Sword Gates?"

Jing Yun said: "There is something in the Ten Swords Gate, which is the treasure of martial arts, which was handed down by Zunyang Zhenren, the founder of the Ten Swords Gate. ”

Qi Ying'er asked, "What is it?"

Jing Yun said: "A wooden sword." ”

Is it the wooden sword that the master gave him?

Qi Ying'er made a mistake, a fatal mistake, his hand subconsciously raised up, although it was immediately put down again, but Jing Yun had already seen it and had already guessed something.

Qi Ying'er's palms were oozing with sweat, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Did you also participate in the chaotic war back then?"

Jing Yun smiled: "I? I was nothing at that time, and there was no Jingyun Villa at all. ”

Qi Ying'er said again: "What about the Ten Thousand Armies?"

Jing Yun put away his smile and said, "The Wanjun Gang is now the largest gang in the world. ”

Qi Ying'er didn't speak, and Jing Yun said again: "Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because the people in the Wanjun Gang were all the evil sects on the top of Emei Mountain, but now they have established the Wanjun Gang, and they are based on the first gang in the rivers and lakes. ”

Qi Ying'er said: "What is the White Crane Gang ranking now?"

Jingyun said: "Third. ”

Qi Ying'er smiled, her smile full of mockery, "I worked hard, but I only got a third?"

Jing Yun didn't speak, because he felt that the young man in front of him seemed to be another person, and the murderous aura wrapped around his whole body, like a beast.

One person, one hand, gently held Qi Ying'er's hand, and the murderous aura enveloping his body was suddenly dispersed.

It's Sun Qiao'er.

Sun Qiao'er is the only woman who can appease the beast, at least the only woman who can appease the beast Qi Ying'er.

Qi Ying'er's heart became calm, calm like a windless lake.

Jing Yun said: "I said, your master is full of words, he told you where to find him, that is where you are going." ”

Qi Ying'er said, "Do you know where he is?"

Jingyun said: "How do I know? That's all I can tell you. ”

Qi Ying'er thanked him and was about to turn around and leave, but Jing Yun called him again: "What are you going to do now?"

Qi Ying'er said, "Go find Master." ”

Jingyun said: "And then?"

Qi Ying'er said: "Then learn swordsmanship." ”

Jing Yun said: "Isn't your sword sharp enough?"

Qi Ying'er said: "My sword is not sharp enough. ”

Jingyun said: "How sharp do you want?"

Qi Ying'er said: "Sharp enough to kill Nangong He?"

Jing Yun smiled, "You think you have to kill him?"

Qi Ying'er was silent, he thought he had to kill him.

Jingyun said: "You've never seen him, you two are strangers, but you want to kill him." ”

Qi Ying'er said: "He destroyed my master. ”

Jingyun said: "But he didn't kill your parents, nor did he hurt your relatives, why did you kill him again?"

Parents!

When Qi Ying'er heard these two words, it was like going back to that dream, the dream that she hadn't had for a long time, how long had it been? From killing someone, or from forging a sword, or when she was twelve years old?

Qi Ying'er couldn't help asking, "Do you know my parents?"

Jingyun hesitated, but shook his head for a long time, and said, "I don't know, I don't even know you, how can I recognize your parents?"

Qi Ying'er turned around and walked straight out of the courtroom.

In the courtyard, on the snow, there were a few more shades of red, and the plum blossoms began to wither.

There is no snow, no cold wind, and the world seems to be blank and desolate.

The two pillars stood in the snow, and now the flagpole could be clearly seen, and the pieces on the pole did not move, because there was no wind, and they kept hanging down.

The absence of wind is far more terrible than the presence of wind, and cold winds can make people more vigilant, and in a world without wind, it is like becoming blind, and there is no longer such a keen feeling. Sometimes, the wind can keep you safe from many dangers.

Sun Qiao'er held Qi Ying'er's hand, both of them were cold, but the hands they held together were very warm, so that neither of them felt that this winter day was very cold.

Sun Qiao'er said: "Why don't you let Master Jingzhuang send us out in a carriage?"

Qi Ying'er said: "I don't want to owe favors to others anymore. ”

Sun Qiao'er stopped talking, she didn't understand what Qi Ying'er thought, obviously she was just a child, why did she always wonder what she couldn't figure out?

Sun Qiao'er asked again, "What did Ling Quanfei say to you last night?"

Sun Qiao'er wanted to ask Qi Ying'er this question for a long time, but she couldn't speak, first, she couldn't interject, and secondly, she was afraid that Qi Ying'er would know that she had opened the door, and she was even more afraid that Qi Ying'er would know that it was actually to see him.

But this question is like a pimple, stuck in Sun Qiaoer's heart, as if she will never be happy if she doesn't ask.

Qi Ying'er said with a smile: "He said he wanted to teach me light skills." ”

Sun Qiao'er suddenly became excited and happy, and the originally lifeless world also became interesting, "Really?"

Qi Ying'er nodded.

Sun Qiao'er said: "That's great, I heard that Ling Quanfei's light skills are the first in martial arts, if you learn his kung fu, you will definitely become more powerful." ”

Qi Ying'er also knew that if she knew how to do light work, it would be very different from now. It's just that now Ling Quanfei is gone, leaving only an empty promise, a promise that I don't know if it can be fulfilled.

Ling Quanfei said that he would wait for Qi Ying'er's reply, but he didn't give Qi Ying'er a chance to reply, and Qi Ying'er was also a little aggrieved in her heart.

Sun Qiao'er said in a low voice: "It's a pity that he is gone." ”

Qi Ying'er didn't speak, looking at the snow on the ground, the snow was as pale as her own scabbard.

Footprints!

Only then did Qi Ying'er notice that footprints appeared in the snow at some point, and the shallow footprints stretched into the woods in the distance. Who could it be? Is it Ling Quanfei's?

But Ling Quanfei's light skills are so good, he doesn't leave any traces in the snow on weekdays, how can this be his?

If it was really his, it could only mean one thing - Ling Quanfei was in trouble, and he had encountered trouble enough to disturb his heart.

Sun Qiao'er naturally saw the footprints, so she asked, "Do you want to go and see it?"

Qi Ying'er didn't speak, looked at the footprints carefully, and walked a little longer, Qi Ying'er said, "Go and have a look." ”
