Chapter 8: Up the Mountain

Snow is a nostalgic thing that makes people miss, especially when it is about to snow.

It's the eighth day of October!

On the morning of the eighth day of the tenth lunar month, sitting quietly in the yurt curtain, looking at the dark sky and the pure white snow field converging into a gray line in a distant place, Li Xiuyu had sad thoughts in his heart.

It's been more than 20 years, even if I only see you once!

At that time, Li Xiuyu was still in infancy, not yet enlightened, and did not remember what kind of people his parents were, he was killed by the Demon Sect, and the young self was adopted by the second uncle Chun Yuyan, and when he was eight or nine years old, he had achieved a little, but at this time there was new bad news, Uncle Chun Yu was infected with an incurable disease, and from then on, the word ominous person could not be erased from Li Xiuyu's heart, and after a few years, Chun Yuyan's illness worsened, and finally drove Li Xiuyu out of the Shimen Piaoxue Building.

Even Master thinks I'm an ominous person!

Li Xiuyu came back to his senses and smiled bitterly, for so many years, he had worshiped the Spirit Sword Pavilion, practiced asceticism, and killed the people of the Demon Sect countless times, in order to get rid of such a name.

At this moment, Li Xiuyu heard a noisy sound outside, Li Xiuyu walked out of the tent, and saw many people looking into the distance behind his yurt, Li Xiuyu was a little strange, and turned to look.

I saw that on the snow-capped mountain dozens of miles away, the top of the mountain was gray and foggy, as if it had snowed heavily, and on the top of the mountain, four looming ghostly red lights faintly radiated light through this bad weather.

Almost all the people around are cultivators, and they all hide in the yurt on weekdays, but now the treasure has a strange light, and all of them come out to look at the top of the snow-capped mountain.

Li Xiuyu frowned, he didn't like to be lively, and more importantly, there were too many people, and the purpose of snatching treasures would be more difficult to achieve.

I don't know when, Mo Tongsheng was already standing quietly behind Li Xiuyu, Mo Tongsheng took a step forward, stood side by side with Li Xiuyu, and said softly: "It's finally coming." β€œ

Li Xiuyu was silent, only looking at the ghostly light on the top of the snowy mountain in the distance, Mo Tongsheng had probably understood Li Xiuyu's temperament after getting along in the past few days, and he didn't care.

After a while, Mo Tongsheng spoke again: "Look at the left, the one is blue and the other is black, it is the person from the Southern Iron Armor Fort, and the person wearing a cyan robe and looking like a scholar is the iron armor scholar Li Shu, who has been in the limelight recently. β€œ

Li Xiuyu had already noticed the person who looked like a scholar, Li Xiuyu stroked his waist, and at this moment, there were eight famous autumn leaf daggers in the rivers and lakes that were ready to be fired, and he said: "This person is afraid that this person's cultivation is not under you and me." β€œ

Mo Tongsheng said again: "On your right hand, a woman wearing a moonlight dress and a beautiful appearance, named Gu Huaixin, has just recently left the school, and she has come here to practice, she is the people of Baoyue City, they are the farthest away from here, and they didn't expect to come too." β€œ

Li Xiuyu nodded, turned his head, glanced at the three-story attic in the southeast corner of White Lotus Town, and sneered: "Even he is here, will anyone not come?"

Baoyue City is a Xiuzhen sect to the west, located between two connected Wanren mountain peaks, every night, the two mountains are like two huge arms, hugging the bright moon, Baoyue City comes from this, there are many women in the door, just like Zhuni Island in the three islands of the floating sea in the Lingjian Pavilion.

Li Xiuyu noticed that there were many people who had already begun to leave for the Snow Mountain, and at this moment he had a lot of confusion in his heart, and the people who did not find the Snow Tower made this wolf who often licked blood on the tip of the knife uneasy.

I always felt that something was wrong.

He said, "Shall we go too?"

Mo Tongsheng didn't speak, but just took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Li Xiuyu.

Li Xiuyu looked at it, and after a while, he said, "Then let's leave in the afternoon!"

Mo Tongsheng was silent.

What is surprising is that Li Shu on both sides, Gu Huaixin and the others did not leave immediately, but looked at Li Xiuyu Mo Tongsheng for a while, and then returned to the tent.

Mo Tongsheng did not go back to his yurt, but followed Li Xiuyu to his room, the big event was approaching, she couldn't feel at ease, the excitement, worries, jealousy, excitement, and impetuousness in her heart all piled up, making him look a little pale.

Li Xiuyu noticed this girl who went out for the first time, as he expected, he was a little nervous, he took the kettle from the stove, poured a cup of hot water, handed it to Mo Tongsheng, and said slowly: "If someone wants to snatch your things, you can give it to him, if someone insults you, you can bear it, but if someone wants to kill you, will you still be indifferent?"

Mo Tongsheng took the hot water and looked at Li Xiuyu.

Li Xiuyu's face was like his sharp, indomitable frozen snow sword, condensing sharpness, coldness, and quietness.

As with countless battles in the past, he was able to deal with such a danger calmly.

Li Xiuyu didn't say anything more, and smiled and said: "It's a little strange, we are the same righteous sect as Piaoxue Tower, Baoyue City, and North and South Iron Armor Forts, even if we are both treasures, but we should also help each other, communicate with each other, at least we should say hello to each other, but I think it's not only so, but we also have the intention of guarding against each other, beware?"

Mo Tongsheng took a sip of the water vapor in the cup, secretly took a deep breath, and her pale face gradually improved, before she came, she was full of confidence, thinking that she could fully cope with the situation in front of her with her own Taoist cultivation, but for a while, the situation suddenly changed, treacherous and abnormal, but her heart was uneasy.

Hearing Li Xiuyu's question, Mo Tongsheng paused for a moment before he said slowly: " The major factions are far from being as harmonious as you think, fighting in private, guns and arrows are continuous, what they do is just the name of the world's largest faction, listen to Uncle Zhu Nidao Hongya said, more than 20 years ago, the treasure hunt case in the South China Sea, although the various sects of the righteous path joined forces to resist, in the end there were still heavy casualties, the elite disciples of each sect and faction, the mainstay of the mainstay have casualties, in fact, the strength of my righteous path is not lost to the Demon Sect, it is really because of hidden selfishness, each with a ghost, thinking that the victory or defeat of other families is none of their business, until they are broken by the Demon Sect, they regret it, but it is too late, when Qu Jingyang, the lord of the Southern Iron Armor Fort, was attacked by the two palace masters of the Demon SectAt that time, the opponent of the master of the precept hall Yuwen Hall was weak, but he did not solve the opponent in time, and gave assistance, Qu Jingyang's son saved his father, and joined the battle with weak strength, unfortunately killed, Qu Jingyang himself was seriously injured and escaped, and the two demon sect palace masters immediately besieged Uncle Yuwen, Uncle Yuwen was also unfortunately killed, and then the head of the Snow Building, Chun Yuyan, was captured by the Demon Sect Honghu, and the head of the sect Li Bohong asked for help from other sects, and all the sects were exhausted at the moment, unwilling to help, although we have always been good friends with Piaoxue Lou, but Uncle Yuwen is dead, and have to wait and see, Li Bohong and his wife are sad and indignant, helpless——”

Mo Tongsheng suddenly stopped, and looked at Li Xiuyu at a loss.

Li Xiuyu's face was trembling from the moment he heard the name, his teeth were clucking, and his eyes flashed with an uncontrollable cold anger.

Everyone knows the next story, Li Bohong and his wife went to the Valley of the Dove King alone to rescue Chun Yuyan, but Chun Yuyan was rescued, but the Li couple was buried in the Valley of the Dove King.

Mo Tongsheng looked at the angry lion quietly, feeling that she had said the wrong thing, and she had said so many wrongs, she felt a little guilty in her heart, she said slowly: "Senior Brother Li, it has been so long, God is fair, and good and evil will be rewarded in the end." ”

Li Xiuyu took a deep breath of the cold air, lowered his head, and stopped talking.

Outside at this moment, there is already a white and vast chaos, the snow seems to fill the whole world, the snow is so big that it is difficult to see a little farther away, Yun Ming looked at the shadowy figure outside, all rushing to the top of the snow-capped mountain dozens of miles away, everyone is high-spirited, everyone can hardly hide their excitement, everyone is eagerly looking forward to this time, to be able to win the treasure, since then the cultivation of strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, and become famous.

And the owner of this attic, Chu Zhengxing, didn't seem to be in a hurry, he was still asleep on the second floor, sleeping soundly, unconscious.

Yun Ming's heart is a little nervous and excited, the world's rivers and lakes have come to half of it, and everyone wants to keep the treasures for themselves, as a human being, each one is extremely greedy, this treasure hunt trip, it will inevitably be not less exciting, fighting vertically and horizontally, and Yun Ming, among these people, is really a useless scholar who has no power to tie the chicken.

However, even so, Chu Zhengxing still promised him that his treasure would have his piece of the pie, how could he not be excited!

He really wanted to immediately wake Chu Zhengxing up from the bed and rush to the snow mountain, but he also understood that even if he went, he was afraid that it would be useless, so he had to press down and wait quietly.

Li Xiuyu and Mo Tongsheng set off very late, it was close to the sun setting at this moment, and the doubts in their hearts were still unresolved until this moment, which made them have to be cautious, and they didn't walk out of the yurt until most of them had already set off.

The heavy snow not only did not stop, but intensified, and the snow fell like goose feathers, some falling on the snowfield, and some falling on the shoulders and hair of pedestrians.

At this moment, it was no longer so cold, Li Xiu Yuwu walked forward, suddenly turned his head, and looked at Mo Tongsheng behind him,

There are beautiful women in the snow, delicate and beautiful, beautiful faces, skin is better than snow, and the stars on the three thousand green silk are sprinkled with some pure snowflakes, so charming and moving, so like a fairy.

Li Xiuyu was stunned for a moment, just for a moment, he immediately turned his head and looked straight ahead, walking under his feet.

Mo Tongsheng noticed that he glanced at himself, he didn't expect such a person to have such a side, thinking of this, the corner of Mo Tongsheng's mouth showed a subtle smile.

Mo Tongsheng is the best among the many female disciples of the Spirit Sword Pavilion, not only because of her cultivation, but also because she is very beautiful, and there is naturally an endless stream of suitors, among which there is no doubt that the top and bottom of the Spirit Sword Pavilion is her senior brother Hailan, the two of them entered almost at the same time, and they taught under the clumsy knees, and they were equally brilliant and profound.

Mo Tongsheng doesn't hate Hailan, but she doesn't like it, she doesn't want to just practice like water, but she won't accommodate other people's wishes.

She had very little contact with Li Xiuyu in the past, but after getting along with each other for a few days, she finally found that this person who seemed ruthless, silent, and calm to the point of pervert still had a trace of cuteness.

"Senior Sister Mo!"

Mo Tongsheng Li Xiuyu suddenly heard a shout, as if it was called Mo Tongsheng, and the two turned around and found that three figures were approaching quickly from the snowflakes.

Li Xiuyu's body suddenly tensed, and his right hand gently wiped it in an instant, and the next moment, as long as the person who came had the slightest ill intention, the Frozen Snow Sword would erupt.

The figure finally came to Mo Tongsheng's body, wearing a cyan robe, and the scholarly appearance was Li Shu of the Southern Iron Armor Fort, followed by two men in black robes and strong figures.

Mo Tongsheng recognized Li Shu, saluted slightly, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Li Shu of the Southern Iron Armor Fort!"

Li Shu arched his hand and smiled politely; Senior Sister Mo, "I haven't seen you for many years, but I still have the same demeanor!"

The two greeted politely, and Li Xiuyu on the side finally let down his vigilance, the white light in his hand quietly dispersed, and he stood aside, but he didn't want to join in this greeting.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a long time, Li Shu looked at Li Xiuyu on the side, and said, "Who is this senior brother?" ”

Li Xiuyu didn't answer, Mo Tongsheng took over: "Oh, this is my junior brother, Li Xiuyu." '

Li Shu's eyes shrank slightly, but they returned to normal in an instant, and the figures of the two people behind him trembled slightly. Li Shu looked at Li Xiuyu and said with a hearty smile: "It's better to be famous than to meet, Senior Brother Li's name is really thunderous!"

Li Xiuyu's smile was hearty and sincere, decent and polite, making people feel like a spring light, Li Xiuyu couldn't help but think of his senior brother Chen Qin, and couldn't help but have a good impression in his heart, and said with a slight stiff smile: "Senior Brother Li killed the Demon Sect Juxian Hall Lai Shuiqing in one fell swoop, and the sound shook the forest, and I admire it very much!"

Li Shu heard this, but he was not arrogant, waved his hand lightly and smiled: "Haha, you and I don't want Senior Brother Li anymore, why don't you and I go together and take treasures together?"

Mo Tongsheng did not answer, the treasure hunt in the South China Sea more than 20 years ago is still vivid, the good and the devil are naturally incompatible, and it is difficult to believe it now.

Mo Tongsheng smiled and said, "It's better for us to discuss on the road." ”

As a disciple of the master of the Southern Iron Armor Fort, Li Shu naturally knew a lot about the past of the South China Sea, and at this moment, he also knew what Mo Tongsheng was thinking, and when he heard Mo Tongsheng answer like this, he didn't care, nodded and said, "It's very good." ”

The five of them walked together on the snowfield, and they were still a small team among the many strengths, and the other sects had as few as a dozen people, and as many as hundreds, and the five people were mixed in it, which was really insignificant, but the people around them were all afraid of this five-person team, and there were many people who had faintly recognized the identities of these five people, and there were many discussions among the same sect.

Li Xiuyu was silent, and walked forward, Mo Tongsheng had no choice but to speak: "I don't know who these two are?"

Li Shu patted the snowflakes on his shoulder, one hand in front and the other hand behind, completely looking like a scholar, at this moment he heard Mo Tongsheng ask, and said with a smile: "I forgot to introduce you, this," Li Shu pointed to the left hand side and said: "It's my junior brother, Liang Hao, this one." Li Shu pointed to his right hand and said, "It's Senior Brother Han Muqing of the Northern Iron Armor Fort." ”

The two junior disciples all bowed their hands, and Li Xiuyu and Mo Tongsheng's eyes suddenly fell on Han Muqing.

This has to surprise Li Xiuyu and the others, between the two heads of the North and South Iron Armor Fort, although they are out of the same door, they have a dislike in their hearts, and they look like they are separated, and the two factions have not interacted with each other for many years, and everyone in the rivers and lakes knows about it, and now the disciples of the two factions act together and act together, which is really something that Li Mo and the two of them have not thought of.

Han Muqing, as a disciple of the sect concerned, couldn't see that the two of them were puzzled, and said: "The North and South Iron Armor Castles belong to the same sect, and now although the concepts are different, the friendship is still there. ”

Li Mo and the two glanced at each other, this kind of nonsense and deception ghosts don't believe it, naturally they can't blind the two of them, but the relationship between the north and the south is now breaking the ice, but it is a first-class major event, and the two of them can't help but pay attention to it.

As soon as the conversation changed, Li Xiuyu was not mentioning this matter, presumably it was useless to ask more, Li Xiuyu said: "Senior Brother Li said that he wanted to walk with us and get treasures together, and Tongsheng and I couldn't ask for it, but...

Looking at Li Xiuyu and not speaking, Li Shu noticed that Li Xiuyu was not called Senior Sister Mo, but Tongsheng, smiled in his heart, and saw some clues, he glanced at Li Xiuyu, and said: "However, everything in the South China Sea is due to mutual damage, and cooperation is nothing more than trust, Senior Brother Li wants to say such a thing!"

Li Xiuyu said solemnly: "Yes, the South China Sea fiasco, all sects and factions have been injured, and now the Demon Sect is gaining momentum, if we don't learn a lesson, I'm afraid it won't take much time, and we will be the Demon Sect's sword ghost."

Li Shu's face was solemn, and he nodded: "What Senior Brother Li said is exactly what I said, I am a decent family, is it better to unite with the Demon Sect?

Li Xiuyu Mo Tongsheng saw that Li Shu was so sincere, and he couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring, Li Xiuyu said: "Senior Brother Li is polite, I hope we can work together to obtain the treasure together!"

The five of them continued to move forward, it seemed that it was not far from the snow-capped mountain where the treasure was located, Mo Tongsheng was excited, talking and laughing with Li Shu and others, it is no wonder that the first time he went out to practice, it was inevitable that he was nervous and excited, and just reached a union with the North and South Iron Armor Fort, the only trace of nervousness was also melted by the excitement, and the confidence to win the treasure was much stronger, and he was naturally excited.

Li Xiuyu watched their chat, and suddenly found that Mo Tongsheng was very different from usual today, in the past, he was alone with him, and he was already silent, Mo Tongsheng was also silent for some reason, and now he met Li Shu, who was talking steadily, and he was talking and laughing.

It seems that he is really not good at socializing with people! Li Xiuyu secretly smiled bitterly.

Mo Tongsheng suddenly caught up with Li Xiuyu who was a little earlier, leaned into his ear, and said softly: "Regarding those doubts of yours, should we remind them?"

Li Xiuyu didn't expect Mo Tongsheng to suddenly get so close to him, and he actually smelled such a trace of strange fragrance in this cold air, which was the fragrance on Mo Tongsheng's body, and his face became a little ruddy.

Mo Tongsheng also felt that he was too close to Li Xiuyu, and hurriedly retreated to the side, and there were two peach blossoms on his face with skin and snow.

Li Xiuyu coughed lightly, then remembered Mo Tongsheng's words, and hesitated, he was not like Mo Tongsheng, in the past vertical and horizontal battles, he was used to seeing the backsliding, forgetting the righteousness of profit, and swearing and vowing was just a word on his lips after all.

However, he finally decided to say that he and Li Shu had only just met, but he still thought that Li Shu would not do such a thing that harmed others and himself.

"Senior Brother Li," Li Xiuyu said, Li Shuzheng was laughing with Liang Hao and Han Muqing, and suddenly heard Li Xiuyu's greeting, and hurriedly said, "Brother Li, what's the matter?"

Li Xiuyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said solemnly: "There are a few things I want to tell you. ”

Seeing that Li Xiuyu's words were so solemn, Li Shu hurriedly stepped forward and walked side by side with Li Xiuyu.

Li Xiuyu was just about to speak, but Mo Tongsheng glanced at Li Xiuyu and interrupted: "Let's talk about it," after a pause, seeing Li Xiuyu nodding, he continued: "Senior Brother Li, there are two important things to say to you here, one is that Piaoxue Building did not appear. β€œ

Mo Tongsheng said that he stopped, but he was not very surprised to see Li Shu and the others, and he must have also discovered the matter.

Li Shu's face was serious, and he nodded: "We also found out that Piaoxue Building, as the first sect to know about this, did not appear at this moment, which makes people very suspicious. β€œ

There is another matter, Li wrote and said, Mo Tongsheng continued: "Senior Brother Xiuyu has discovered that the Demon Sect Leader Honghu has come here. β€œ

Sure enough, Li Shu's faces changed, Li Shu took a deep breath, and suddenly said, "Is it the three-story attic?"

This surprised Li Xiuyu and the others, Li Shu's guess was so accurate, they couldn't help but be suspicious, Mo Tong said: "Yes, that three-story attic is a magic weapon of Honghu, Suixin Building, I don't know how Senior Brother Li found out?"

Li Shu and Liang Hao glanced at each other, and said: A few days ago, I was ordered by the head of the sect to infiltrate the Demon Sect Juxian Hall and assassinate Lai Shuiqing.

Along the way, Li Xiu Yu and Mo Tongsheng told all the doubts in their hearts, and the five people in the group were all elite disciples of various sects, and their cultivation was all superior, but at this moment, they couldn't know what was wrong.

After a while, Li Xiuyu, who had not spoken, said: "Be careful and wait and see what happens." β€œ

Li Shu nodded and said: For the time being, it can only be like this.
