Inside the county lord's mansion. The generals stood side by side, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy and depressing.

This time, Chu Yi stood aside solemnly and did not speak, replaced by the angry Du Huaichong, only to hear him say coldly: "Although no one in the villa was spared, there was a hunter Zhang who saw a man with a red sword wandering in the nearby forest with his head scattered. ”

Ye Qianxue frowned and said, "Red Sword?"

Du Huaichong paused and said, "Yes, at that time, Orion Zhang didn't dare to get too close when he saw that person was not normal, but his subordinates guessed that the sword should be dried blood, and the sword body should have been black. ”

When Ye Qianxue heard this, she glanced at Du Huaichong and said bluntly: "Are you suspecting that Mo Shaoying did this?"

Du Huaichong didn't answer but unfolded the two pictures that had been prepared in his hand and said: "In this first painting, the front face of the suspect is drawn according to the martial arts people who escaped from the village that day, and this one is based on the suspect's characteristics drawn according to Orion Zhang's confession after the crime, although I can't see his face clearly, but ......"

Du Huaichong didn't say anything, because Ye Qianxue's expression had changed when she saw these two paintings. Yes, although the second painting does not have a face, its dress and body shape are exactly the same as the first one, and Mo Shaoying was wearing it that day, which she had seen herself, combined with the terrifying attitude when she left, she had reason to doubt it.

Ye Qianxue looked at the expressions of the generals, nodded suddenly, and said, "In this case, the whole city will immediately post a notice to arrest the suspect Mo Shaoying." ”

After speaking, Ye Qianxue sat down, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength in a word, and the fatigue accumulated over the days spread all over her body in an instant, but she knew that she couldn't rest yet, so she fought hard and said to Chu Yi: "The person I asked you to find, but there are some eyebrows?"

The first column of the first year reported truthfully: "There is no definite news yet. ”

Ye Qianxue said: "Well, you will inform me as soon as there is news, is there anything else?" ”

Du Huaichong hurriedly took out two letters and said: "The county master brought a letter a few days ago, saying that he had returned to Youzhou first, so that the county lord did not have to worry about it. ”

"Hmm. ”

Ye Qianxue responded casually, looking a little careless and preoccupied.

Du Huaichong took the letterhead and said, "The county lord doesn't need to look at it?"

Ye Qianxue shook her head with her forehead, reluctantly glanced at another purple letterhead, and asked, "What about this one?"

Du Huaichong said: "This is sent by Princess Yuzhen in the capital, and the person who came said that he would let the county lord go to Kunlun with the Taisufang personnel on behalf of the imperial court to participate in the immortal ceremony of the winter solstice next month, as for the specific matters have been written in the letter." ”

Ye Qianxue was slightly surprised, took the letter and opened it casually, and at a glance, she saw the words "Wanshou Mountain" frequently appearing in the letter.

This is a fine piece of rosewood. The wooden body has now taken the form of a woman. The woman's posture is graceful, lifelike, and her jade hands are vivid. The only fly in the ointment is that the technician did not press a delicate face on her, and the technician holding the carving knife at the moment also showed a little confusion on his face.

This wooden statue of a woman is Mo Zhongqing's painstaking work for more than two months. The woman carved is naturally also a white plain dress that I will never forget. There is a way that there are a lot of vicissitudes of life, all into the wood carving, but when he carved plain clothes according to the memory in his heart, he found that although he could carve an almost perfect figure, he could not press a god-like face for her.

The look was indescribably cold and arrogant, and there was a disdainful smile on the corner of his lips from time to time.

This kind of high-minded, unsympathetic expression should not have appeared on Bai Suyi's face. And although she has a white plain face, she is not plain, although she can use her body to act, but her words and deeds are fundamentally like two people.

This person is the one who took away the body of Bai Suyi. It's just that something seems to have gone wrong in the middle, and the souls of Su Yi and Chongyu have to coexist in Bai Suyi's body. Later, there was an accident in the middle, and Bai Suyi's soul was mistakenly accepted into the Sumeru map by the Manjushri Taoist, causing him to mistakenly break into the Sumeru map and mistake the soul of Suyi for the demon spirit in the painting, so as to force Suyi to break out of the picture.

If he could go back to the past, Mo Zhongqing would definitely choose to live with Su Yi in the Sumeru map for the rest of his life. However, there is never a regret medicine in the world, he can't regret it, but he can still hate, and hate the danger that led to all this. But he knew that he was the one who caused the disaster in the end, and Chongyu had saved himself more than once, although each time it was more or less mixed with some selfish interests, but there was no doubt that it was good for him.

Therefore, if Chongyu is kind to him, he cannot be unjust, and Chongyu acts ruthlessly, but he cannot be ruthless.

And this kind of "good" also made him deeply confused, for example, now, he really didn't know what kind of expression to carve on this puppet? This wooden statue of a woman was obviously carved for plain clothes! The figure was obviously her, but why couldn't he remember Su Yi's real smile, and what did he remember?

This thought continued to grow in his heart like a weed, and he suddenly threw the wooden statue of the woman in his hand out.

"Click, click. ”

The wood carving went all the way down the snow stone path along the mountain road, until the sound of rolling down along the way could not be heard, and Mo Shaoying's heart was calm and stable. Yes, no matter what, I've returned to the world, and I don't have to see that face again. In this way, it can at least be considered that Suyi is still alive, but in a different character and way.

At this time, there was the sound of footsteps on the mountain road and snow trail, accompanied by a string of light silver bells. Mo Zhongqing listened to the familiar voice, turned his head slightly, and saw a dingbell dressed in a snow jacket and plain clothes climbing up the steps along the mountain and stone snow path, and was firmly grasping the wooden carving of the woman who had just fallen out in his hand.

As soon as Ding Dong saw Mo Zhongqing sitting on the ground, he puffed up his cheeks slightly from afar, as if he was hugging Mu Xiang and said angrily: "Why did Brother Zhongqing lose her, since he wanted to lose it, why did he carve it in the first place?"

Mo Zhongqing was stunned, he really couldn't answer this seemingly simple but actually quite sharp question, so he had to smile and change the topic: "There are so many people in the front mountain, what are you doing in the back mountain instead of going to see the excitement?"

"What are you doing? Hmph, of course it's not welcome. Obviously, when I first met this girl, everyone praised me for being smart and clever, but after learning that I was a demon in a blink of an eye, everyone avoided it, so instead of being angry there, it was better to come here to pick up a bargain. Look, aren't you just picking it up?"

After that, Ding Bell went to that station and shook the woman's wood carving in front of Mo Zhongqing, with a smug look on his face. Mo Zhongqing saw it and said simply: "Do you like it, I like to send it to you." ”

"Really?"

Ding Ding's face was obviously happy, and he turned to say with a difficult look: "Okay, although it doesn't look like Aunt Chongyu at all, and she hasn't carved her face, but it is more or less the hard work of Brother Zhongqing in the past two months, and this girl reluctantly accepts it." ”

After that, he quickly stuffed the wood carving into the bag around his waist, for fear that Mo Shaoying would regret it and snatch it. The bag also contained the jade xun she had obtained from the dragon and wolf tribe, and it was obvious that in her opinion, this wood carving seemed to be as precious as the jade xun. And this jingle seemed to be unfinished, Mo Zhongqing looked for her eyes and said, "Are you interested in this Moli sword on my body?"

Ding Bell smiled slightly, and said bluntly: "It's that painting." Isn't Zhongqing's brother tired from carrying it on his back all the time? he never leaves his body even when he is resting, should he hand it over to Ding Bell for safekeeping for a few days?" Mo Zhongqing didn't reply, this Sumeru map has a special meaning for him, but it is just a piece of waste paper to others, so he just smiled bitterly, thinking that Ding Dong was just a child's heart and casually said, he turned his eyes and looked at Ding Ding's carefully knitted sideburns and double bun and then diverted the topic and said: "What about Wanxi, I know that even if everyone in Kunlun Mountain taboos your identity, she will never do it." ”

Ding Bell nodded, and sure enough, he didn't entangle anymore and said, "Sister Wanxi really won't, but that old old-fashioned, huh...... It's the head of the Mo family, although they recognize me, but every time I go to play with my sister, he still keeps a straight face, as if this girl owes her a lot of money and hasn't paid it back. ”

Mo Zhongqing smiled slightly, he knew that his master had always been like this, but he didn't open his mouth to explain, because in his opinion, Ding Dang didn't really hate his master.

And the real reason why Master Mo Xing kept a straight face was a recent rumor. It is said that since this month, a black-haired man in black costume stepped on a black sword, stirring up a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes. And because of this, he is good at sword walking, and he comes and goes without a trace, even if he wants to leave him while there are many people, there is absolutely no possibility.

Therefore, in the past two months, in addition to the various sects agreed in advance, there have been a lot of people on this Kaiyang Peak, all kinds of scattered people from all over the world, they are in groups, ostensibly they want to take advantage of the Kunlun faction to hold the immortal ceremony to invite the Kunlun Sword Immortal to go down the mountain to eliminate the demon, but secretly put on a lively attitude to see if this demon is from the Kunlun faction.

After all, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the sword art is the Kunlun Zhen School's peerless learning, and to learn the Kunlun School's martial arts, you must not only have extraordinary qualifications, but also not be bad in morality, if it is bad, it will only be a five-year disciple test, naturally you can't become a disciple of the Kunlun School, so the people who can learn the sword art are all elites in the faction, why did this kind of master who is expected to become a sword immortal degenerate into a demon who kills people without blinking? Or is the so-called noble character just a threshold to raise oneself, in fact, this group of Kunlun Mountain is just a group of sanctimonious people?
