The night was clear. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The lonely moon hangs in the sky.

Lan Xiaorui and Xie Shan stood quietly in the courtyard of the hospitality hall in Luoxue Valley.

For a while, neither of them spoke again, only the bleak chill spread between them.

The night was quiet, and there was not a hint of wind.

It seems that even the breeze can't stand the cold of this winter night, so he quietly hides. However, although there is no cold wind, the temperature at night is enough to bear.

Maybe it's too cold, in a trance, it's so cold that people feel like their hearts are about to be cold.

"Alas......".

I don't know how long it took, Xie Shan suddenly sighed faintly.

Lan Xiaorui glanced sideways at him and asked in a low voice, "Why is Uncle Xie sighing, isn't there something bothering?"

Xie Shan was silent for a while, and then said lightly: "It's not that there is anything to worry about, I just thought of the impermanence of the world and the ill-fated fate, and I felt a lot of emotion in my heart for a while, so I couldn't help but sigh."

"The world is impermanent, and fate is ......".

Lan Xiaorui also felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and also sighed: "Yes."

Xie Shan smiled bitterly and said, "I can't figure it out." You say, why is his life so bitter for a kind person like Yang Xiaofeng?"

"Uncle Xie, you just said that the world is impermanent and fateful. The red dust is disturbed, and thousands of sentient beings are like this. It shows that as long as he is a human being, as long as he lives in this world, then he will not be able to escape such a fate, and Yang Xiaofeng is naturally no exception."

Xie Shan was suddenly a little indignant, and said: "However, he has never hurt anyone from beginning to end, and he has never thought about hurting anyone, why does fate arrange it like this?"

"In the past, I always thought that my fate was in my own hands......", Lan Xiaorui smiled bitterly: "But now I understand that sometimes in the face of reality, people are really so powerless."

Xie Shan looked at Lan Xiaorui and said, "You say, if Yang Xiaofeng hadn't come back to Luoxue Valley and hadn't saved your Orchid Gate, would all this not have happened?"

"Perhaps".

"Actually, a few months ago, when the treasure incident just came out on the rivers and lakes, I thought it was a little strange. Now, I finally get it."

Lan Xiaorui asked, "I don't know what Uncle Xie understands?"

"The so-called fake treasure incident is just another conspiracy against Falling Snow Valley."

Lan Xiaorui was puzzled: "Oh. I don't know why Uncle Xie said that"?

Xie Shan said lightly: "I just said that the reason why the killer will attack the Orchid Gate is just a conspiracy against Falling Snow Valley. They did this entirely to disperse the strength of the Falling Snow Valley, so as to destroy the Falling Snow Valley in one fell swoop."

Lan Xiaorui nodded.

Originally, these people's plans went smoothly at the beginning, and the development of events was exactly in the direction they expected, but the appearance of Yang Xiaofeng disrupted their original plans. In the battle of Orchid Gate, Blood Shura and his killers were all killed, which they never expected."

Lan Xiaorui nodded and said: "Indeed, with the martial arts of Blood Shura, no one in the Orchid Gate is indeed his opponent, but he has not even made a single move under Yang Xiaofeng."

"It is precisely because of this that they immediately implemented a more vicious and cruel plan."

"Is it the so-called fake treasure incident"?

"Not bad. It was the emergence of Yang Xiaofeng that gave birth to this plan."

"But I still don't understand what this has to do with Falling Snow Valley. I think that the fake treasure incident was just a farce."

"Farce ......", Xie Shan smiled coldly and said, "You said that the fake treasure incident is just a farce"?

Lan Xiaorui asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?"

"If this is a farce, then it would be better to have less of it."

Xie Shan changed the topic and said, "Let me ask you, who did you bring back when you came back from Blackstone Town that time?"

Lan Xiaorui was silent for a long time and said, "Yang Xiaoxi."

Xie Shan stared at Lan Xiaorui for a long time, and then asked, "Then why did Yang Xiaofeng leave Luoxue Valley?"

Lan Xiaorui immediately fell silent.

Xie Shan was also silent, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to a room next to the hospitality hall and said: "This is the place where the night disciples in my valley rest, there is a charcoal fire in the house to keep warm, it is not as cold as outside, please come with me, son."

Lan Xiaorui waved his hand and said, "Everyone should be resting at this time, it's not good for us to go in and disturb others at this moment."

"Childe, don't worry, the disciple who was supposed to be on duty here tonight has already been sent elsewhere by me. So you and I won't bother anyone," Xie Shan said, stepping over and pushing open the door to the room.

Lan Xiaorui also felt that this cold night after the snow was really unbearable, so he didn't hesitate at the moment and hurriedly followed. As he walked, he asked, "Is there no one here tonight?"

"The old man is on duty here tonight."

As soon as I walked into the room, I immediately felt that the cold was a little less, at least the wind was not as strong as outside. Indeed, as Xie Shan said, there is indeed a large charcoal fire for heating in the house, but the charcoal chips are about to burn out.

Xie Shan hurriedly took some new charcoal from the corner of the house and added it to the stove. After a while, a few more traces of green smoke slowly came out of the stove.

"Childe, please take a seat", Xie Shan greeted Lan Xiaorui and sat down with him.

Although they sat down, the two of them just sat quietly like this. Xie Shan used tongs to stir the charcoal fire in the furnace seriously, as if he didn't want to speak anymore.

However, after a while, he finally sighed softly and said: "Maybe everyone thinks that Yang Xiaofeng has such an encounter because he is a descendant of Qingshui Villa, and he is the main messenger behind the tragedy of Qingshui Villa, who wants to cut him down and eradicate the roots in order to prevent future troubles." But in my opinion, he is just a victim of the manipulators behind these events against Falling Snow. Ten years ago, the killer did go to Qingshui Villa, but this time, the killer's target was definitely not Yang Xiaofeng."

The more Lan Xiaorui listened, the more confused he became, he snorted coldly, and asked, "Since the killer's target is not Yang Xiaofeng, how can you explain what happened at his wedding with Qingxue that day?"

"Don't be in a hurry, and listen to me."

"Okay, you say, I'm listening".

Xie Shan said unhurriedly: "Where to start? By the way, let's start with the tragedy of the destruction of Qingshui Villa at the beginning."

Lan Xiaorui frowned slightly, and asked, "What's wrong with Qingshui Villa, why did you mention it again?"

Xie Shan was not in a hurry to speak, and after being silent for a long time, he said, "Do you know all kinds of past about Qingshui Villa."

Lan Xiaorui shook his head and said, "I only know that Qingshui Villa was the first martial arts family with the same power as Luoxue Valley at that time, as for the rest, I don't know anything."

Speaking of this, Lan Xiaorui suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xie Shan and said, "Listen to Uncle Xie's tone, could it be that Qingshui Villa has other secrets"?

Xie Shan replied lightly: "It's not a secret, but you may not know that although Qingshui Villa and Luoxue Valley were the two most powerful martial arts families on the rivers and lakes at that time. However, although they are both the first families of martial arts, compared to the ups and downs of the Snow Valley, the foundation of Qingshui Villa is too shallow, about forty years ago, at that time, Qingshui Villa, in terms of strength, can only be regarded as a fourth-rate sect in the rivers and lakes at most. This is not the case in Luoxue Valley, since the creation of the faction, it has been more than 300 years, and the position of the lord of Optics Valley has changed for fifteen generations."

"About forty years ago, it's not too far,".

"Yes, forty years is only two generations at most."

Lan Xiaorui calculated carefully in his heart, and then frowned and said, "Forty years ago, Qingshui Villa was only a fourth-rate sect, but eleven years ago, it was slaughtered and wiped out. However, before it encountered the disaster, its power in the rivers and lakes was already the number one martial arts family that could be ranked alongside Luoxue Valley. In this way, that is to say, the development process of Qingshui Villa from a fourth-rate sect to the first family of martial arts was completely completed in the thirty years from the first eleven years to the first forty years."

"Yes, it can indeed be said that ......", Xie Shan nodded first, and then shook his head again: "But it's not entirely right."

Lan Xiaorui was puzzled: "What's wrong there"?

Xie Shan raised his eyebrows, and replied quietly: "The journey of Qingshui Villa from a fourth-rate Jianghu force to the first family of martial arts did not take thirty years, but only ten years ......."

Lan Xiaorui was surprised: "Ten years"?

Xie Shan asked rhetorically: "Why, you don't believe it"?

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that it sounds a little unbelievable......."

Lan Xiaorui was silent for a while, and then said, "Anyway, I am also a child of a family. Therefore, I know best in my heart how difficult it is for a sect to develop, and the hardships of this are simply incomprehensible to ordinary people unless I have experienced it myself. So, I don't understand, why is Clear Water Villa developing so fast?"

"It's true that the rapid development of Qingshui Villa is indeed impossible to guess with common sense, but if you have seen the then head of Qingshui Villa, that is, Yang Xiaofeng's father Yang Shuangzi, you won't feel strange."

Lan Xiaorui asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Do you know that more than 30 years ago, those three people on the rivers and lakes were the most famous"?

Lan Xiaorui nodded and said, "Of course I know." The sword god Li Muqing, the young master of the Ethereal Peak taught Murong Ke, and the young master of Qingshui Villa, Yang Shuangzi".

"The sword comes out without a shadow, and the enemy is defeated in one move. Li Muqing has a shadowless sword in his hand, and when he crisscrosses the rivers and lakes, whenever he encounters an opponent, no one has ever made a move under him, and it is precisely because of this that the people in the rivers and lakes call him the sword god. But did you know that in addition to the title of Sword God, he also has an even louder title"?

"Martial Arts Mythology".

"Yes, Li Muqing's deeds in his life are indeed like myths and legends, and he is worthy of the title of martial arts mythology. However, in my opinion, there is a person, although his reputation is not as loud as Li Muqing, but the miracle he has created has long surpassed Li Muqing."

Lan Xiaorui said clearly: "This person is Yang Shuangzi"?
