Chapter 21: The Deceased
"You're here. ”
The night is like a dark sea, if it were not for the dotted stars.
Liu Baiyi was sitting in the backyard, he was closing the door earlier than usual today, sitting on the stone table in the courtyard, his eyes were looking at the stars in the sky, he had been looking at it for a while, until a certain time, until a certain moment, he slowly withdrew his gaze, and there were two more figures in front of him, such a mysterious light work in the world only a few people can do.
"The starry sky is truly beautiful. ”
A voice sounded that was not asked, a long-lost voice, a long-lost magic, a long-lost person.
"You see beauty, but I see fear. ”
Liu Baiyi looked at the face that had become blurred in his memory, he was still the same, his eyes were very magical, his voice was the same, and the hands, for example, he was Li Xunhuan.
And next to him was a woman, that was Sun Xiaohong.
"You've been different from us from start to finish. ”
Li Xunhuan said something else, his voice changed slightly, and there were two bags of wine on the table at some point, as well as a few side dishes, just like the first time they had eaten, the same wine, the same dish, but no longer the same person.
"When we rushed over, we saw nothing but blood...... Ahem......"
He took a sip of wine, but he didn't know whether his tone was too urgent or the wine was too strong, and he suddenly coughed violently, Sun Xiaohong just sat aside and didn't speak, his face was a little worried.
Liu Baiyi's expression changed slightly.
"When I saw that you deliberately left nine sword marks in front of the little shop, I went to investigate, and the people you killed in the competition were all stained. ”
Li Xunhuan's voice was a little bitter, the corners of his eyes had a lot more wrinkles, and when his expression flashed at this moment, he no longer had the same elegant and handsome assets as he did back then.
"You're old. ”
And Liu Baiyi stared at him for a long time before slowly sighing, without answering, without words, only sighing.
As he spoke, he lifted a wine sac, pulled out the stopper, and poured a few sips.
Under the gaze of Li Xunhuan and Sun Xiaohong, he slowly stood up.
"I said a few times to help the fun, but today, let's really come once. ”
Liu Baiyi's expression was clear, unprecedentedly clear, he slowly walked to the center of the courtyard, his right hand had already shot at the shop that was no more than seven or eight meters away, and suddenly a stream of water had flown out of the back door and flew towards his hand, and as soon as he reached his hand, it instantly condensed into an ice sword.
His body moved, sometimes like a dragon out of the abyss, sometimes like a cloud and a hazy moon, his body was sometimes like the wind and sometimes like a fog under the moonlight, there was no murderous aura, no sword aura, like returning to the basics, not even using a trace of internal force, but it was incredibly fast, sometimes like a ghost, sometimes like an immortal.
At some point, a layer of moonlight shrouded his body, and the tip of the sword left wisps of traces, like a streamer pattern, which disappeared in a flash.
Sun Xiaohong was shocked, while Li Xunhuan looked appreciative, unconsciously looking at it like a layman, as if watching a juggler, and applauded when he saw the wonders.
Long.
Liu Baiyi's figure became slower and slower, while Li Xunhuan slowly put away his smile.
Gradually, Liu Baiyi's sword seemed to be slow to an extreme, and the next sword would come out after two or three breaths after one move, and at this time, a terrifying scene happened, only to see that after Liu Baiyi's move, the next move had appeared three steps away from him, and there was actually a him in the same place, his body moved again, and suddenly there was another him.
After a while, I saw more than a dozen willow white-clothed figures in this courtyard.
Every Liu Baiyi seems to be interpreting a sword move, every move is the pinnacle of swordsmanship, and they are still slowly evolving.
Li Xunhuan was silent, but his eyes had lost color, and so did Sun Xiaohong.
Liu Baiyi's expression was calm, and his body was only like a human sword stabbing towards the starry sky, and those figures also evolved from different sword moves at the same time to the same move as him, all of which went straight to the sky, as if they were on the same path, all the figures were merging into Liu Baiyi's body, like a river melting into the sea.
His body was as light as a flying immortal, and in an instant, he flew more than ten zhang high, and his clothes were hunting, I don't know if it was because of the sword qi or the cold wind in the sky.
Then, the ice sword in Liu Baiyi's hand dissolved.
And he is falling from the sky, like a goose feather, his light skills are self-pity in the treasure of the flowers, but at this time has changed because of himself, if he wants to be treacherous, then the body is like a ghost, if he wants to be immortal, then the body is like an immortal, this is a smart and speed of both the body, practice to the high depths, the void leaves can be relayed, the cliff bird feathers can ride, Ling Bo is not sinking, called the ethereal step.
As he fell, the sky was already snowing, but it was only in the courtyard, the snow of the dog days, and something that I couldn't think of actually happened at this moment.
"What's the name of this move?"
Li Xunhuan's eyes changed several times.
"The sword intent remains. ”
The willow white-clothed man was still in the sky, and the words had already fallen to the ears of the two of them, and then they seemed to fall with the voice, and when they were about to approach the stone bench, they applied Shi Ran again.
"I can't imagine that you have reached such a state for so many years, it is really ......"
Sun Xiaohong finally couldn't help but speak, the shock in her eyes was still there, but she couldn't think of any words to describe it.
"There should be great terror between life and death, and there should also be great opportunity. ”
Liu Baiyi twisted a falling leaf, only to see that the leaf had just fallen into his hand and was already lifeless, like a dead leaf, as if there was a strange power in him.
"What is this?"
Li Xunhuan suddenly lost his voice, his eyes couldn't help but widen, it was the first time that there were such big fluctuations in his eyes, and his heart was even more so, like a stormy wave hitting his heart.
"This is my sword intent, full of death and silence, and I don't even dare to hold a sword. ”
Liu Baiyi muttered to himself, he was a little dignified, and a little silent, this is no longer a power that mortals can control, this is already a god and demon, this is also the original intention of his heart before.
"Indeed, you should no longer hold a sword. ”
Li Xunhuan nodded, his face was very solemn, if Liu Baiyi took the sword again, he really didn't dare to imagine what would happen.
And now, the snow in the sky has gradually turned gray, lifeless, full of silence.
Liu Baiyi watched, letting the snow fall and fall on him.
And Li Xunhuan and Sun Xiaohong couldn't, only to see a terrifying edge rise from Li Xunhuan's body, wrapping Sun Xiaohong inside, terrifying and amazing edge, that is Li Xunhuan's knife intent, the victory of the edge is like a brilliant day, which makes people unable to look at it directly.
Suddenly, a strange scene appeared in a courtyard, like a confrontation between light and darkness, a contest between life and death.
What kind of knife is Li Xunhuan's knife? Although it can kill people, it is a knife that saves people, full of vitality, and gives people a kind of hope like the rising sun.
"I want to try my hand at the world again. ”
It's a pity that Liu Baiyi muttered for a long time, and only waited for the snow to fall, and only when Li Xunhuan's edge was gone, he slowly spoke.
Li Xunhuan's eyelids trembled slightly when he heard this.
"You've changed. ”
He was silent for a long time, then took another sip of wine.
"yes, I'm not going to get drunk anymore. ”
Liu Baiyi nodded.
The atmosphere suddenly became eerily dull.
"To shatter the Void?"
Sun Xiaohong also interjected at this time, the old man Tianji had told a few people about Liu Baiyi's problems back then.
Liu Baiyi didn't answer, but slowly looked at the starry sky, the night sky was dotted with stars, and countless points of light converged like a long river of stars, which was so beautiful and dazzling that people couldn't help but want to get lost in it.
"Perhaps, our world is like one of those countless stars. ”
After a long time, Liu Baiyi seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be talking to the two of them.
There was silence in the courtyard.
After a long time, Liu Baiyi slowly came back to his senses, there were no two people in front of him, and the dishes on the table were gone, if it weren't for the remaining bag of wine and a book, I am afraid that Liu Baiyi would only think that everything was an illusion.
Liu Baiyi's gaze stopped on the book, and saw four words on it, Xiao Li Flying Knife.
"Alas. ”
There was a sigh in the courtyard, and then the lights went out, and it seemed that even the starlight had disappeared, and fell into a dead silence, leaving only an inexplicable sigh echoing.
