Chapter 236: Killing Intent
、、、、、、、
Walking out of the house, Wen Min saw Lu Xueqi standing aside, so he walked over and said, "Senior sister, will you go back now?"
Lu Xueqi shook her head slightly and said, "Since I came out, I want to walk around the left and right, and I feel bored sitting in the house all the time." ”
Wen Min nodded and said, "That's right, then be careful yourself, I'll go back first." ”
Lu Xueqi nodded slightly and said, "Yes, senior sister walk slowly." ”
Wen Min smiled and turned to leave. Seeing her figure gradually disappear into the bamboo forest, Lu Xueqi stood in place and was silent for a moment, but she didn't know where she was going for a while, so she walked away.
The bamboo forest is deep, verdant everywhere, and there is a mountain breeze blowing in the high places, and the tips of the bamboo branches sway with the wind, making a rustling sound.
In the slightly moist earth, new shoots break through the ground, and from time to time you can see the pointed heads of bamboo shoots poking out of the ground, full of vitality.
In the distance, where the bamboo branches are thick, there is a crisp birdsong, and even the surrounding air is wafting with a unique fragrance of bamboo. Lu Xueqi took a deep breath, there is no vulgar atmosphere here, it has always been the favorite of those of them who are cultivators, and it is also the reason why every cultivator is far away from the world.
It's just that the body is far away from the world, but the earthly mood never seems to have left half a point.
Just stepped on the lotus step like this, walked away, unconsciously, Lu Xueqi suddenly realized that she had walked to the back mountain again, she smiled slightly bitterly, although she didn't think of coming here today, but maybe she came a lot on weekdays, and this pair of feet actually came on their own.
However, Lu Xueqi did not look back, and continued to walk slowly towards the mountain, the stone strata went up one by one, and not far away, it was a secluded place on Xiaozhu Peak to look at the moon platform.
At this time, it was daylight, and Master Shuiyue was in a bad mood recently, and no one came to this remote place, and the surroundings were even quieter, but fortunately, Lu Xueqi had always been accustomed to this tranquility, so she walked up on her own, and every grass and tree, stone and rock here was all too familiar to her.
Unexpectedly, she just stepped on the moon platform, but she was stunned for a moment, in front of the moon platform, there was a figure standing, standing alone, a robe was hunted and blown by the mountain wind, looking at the back is very familiar, it is the master who she and Wen Min can't find, Master Shuiyue.
Lu Xueqi was stunned in her heart, walked up to the day before yesterday, bowed to Master Shuiyue, and said, "Master." ”
Master Shuiyue's body was shocked, and it seemed that he realized that someone was coming behind him, turned around, looked at Lu Xueqi, nodded, and said, "It's Xueqi." ”
Lu Xueqi looked at Master Shuiyue, and saw that the teacher's face was slightly pale, still sad, but at this moment, it was more of a lonely color.
She was worried in her heart and said, "Master, it's windy here, you have to take care of your body." ”
Master Shuiyue smiled and said, "On weekdays, you stand here all day long, and I haven't seen anything happen to you, although my old bones are not younger than you, but they are not weak." ”
Lu Xueqi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Master, the disciple didn't mean that, I am ......"
Master Shuiyue waved his hand a little tiredly, a faint bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said, "I know, you don't have to explain." ”
Lu Xueqi was silent and stood beside Master Shuiyue, but she didn't know what to say for a while.
And Master Shuiyue didn't seem to have the intention of speaking, and the master and apprentice were silent for a while.
I don't know how long it took, Master Shuiyue looked into the distance, and suddenly said, "Do you think this moon viewing platform is beautiful?"
Lu Xueqi was stunned for a moment, I don't know why Master Shuiyue suddenly asked so much, but she still answered the master honestly: "As the saying goes, the scenery is often in the dangerous peak, the dangerous rocks here are abrupt, the lonely cliffs are suspended in the air, from above, the sea of clouds is like waves, and the green mountains are companions, which is the most beautiful place." ”
Master Shuiyue nodded slightly, his eyes were slightly confused, and he said slowly: "In fact, many years ago, when your Uncle Su Ru was still practicing on Xiaozhu Peak, he was just like you, he loved the scenery here the most, and he often sneaked here to play alone. ”
Lu Xueqi was stunned, raised her eyes to look at Master Shuiyue, only to see Master Shuiyue sigh softly, and said: "Senior Sister Su and I have grown up together since childhood, and I am only a year earlier than her under the seat of Master Zhenyu. She is more lively than me on weekdays, but she loves one person to sneak here the most, that is, when she was wronged, she also came to this moon platform, and she was sulky. ”
When Master Shuiyue said this, the corners of his mouth moved, as if he remembered some of the past events of the past, and he smiled a little, but before this smile came out, it was replaced by a deeper blank look on his face.
"But...... She hasn't been here since she got married. ”
Lu Xueqi silently listened to Master Shuiyue's words, and said in a low voice: "Master, when Uncle Su married Uncle Tian of Dazhufeng, weren't you happy in your heart?"
Master Shuiyue was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly, sighed, and said: "Although Tian Buyi has a bad temper and a somewhat obedient temperament, he is a good couple, and your Uncle Su marrying him is her blessing, and she has a vision." ”
Lu Xueqi was really a little surprised when she heard this, in the past, everyone knew that Master Shuiyue didn't like Tian Buyi, but she didn't expect her to see it like this in her heart, and couldn't help asking: "Then you were still like that to Uncle Tian in the past..."
Master Shuiyue smiled slightly, and said, "Are you still raising your eyebrows and talking coldly to him?"
Lu Xueqi's face turned red and said, "The disciple doesn't dare to think like this." ”
Master Shuiyue said lightly: "That's how I treat him on weekdays, and it's not something to be taboo about, so there's nothing to scruple about." However, although Tian Buyi and I don't get along, to tell the truth, he is still a good person, and there are few people in our Qingyunmen who can compare to him. ”
Speaking of this, Master Shuiyue seemed to suddenly think of something, frowned slightly, and said, "The eldest disciple under Tian Buyi's seat is called Song Daren, right?"
Lu Xueqi nodded, but she didn't know why Master Shuiyue suddenly asked Song Daren, and said, "Exactly, now Senior Brother Song has taken over the first position of the Great Bamboo Peak lineage." Master, why did you suddenly think of Senior Brother Song?"
Master Shuiyue was silent for a long time and said, "Your Senior Sister Wen Min, is there something to do with this Song Daren?"
Lu Xueqi was startled and didn't know what to say for a while. Wen Min and Song Daren have affection for each other, and most people know that the sisters on Xiaozhu Peak still joke about Wen Min about this matter on weekdays, but Tian Buyi once went up the mountain to ask for marriage for Song Daren, but was rejected by Master Shuiyue, which made Wen Min sad in private, and he was depressed for many days. Now that she was suddenly asked by Master Shuiyue, Lu Xueqi's mind turned, but she didn't know whether to say it directly, or hide it more for Senior Sister Wen Min.
What kind of experience Master Shuiyue has, just looking at Lu Xueqi's hesitation, he saw most of it, shook his head, and sighed deeply.
Lu Xueqi couldn't help but feel a little anxious in her heart, her relationship with Wen Min was excellent, although her own love path was not smooth, but she hoped that this senior sister who had been taking care of herself since childhood could have a good home, and she still mustered up the courage to say: "Master, in fact, Sister Wen Min ...... her"
didn't say a few words, but only heard Master Shuiyue say lightly: "That's it, that's it, just find a day and marry Wen Min." ”
Lu Xueqi was stunned for a moment, almost unable to believe her ears. Master Shuiyue glanced at her, smiled, and said, "Why, haven't you disciples always thought that I was an old stubborn, unruly eater, and unwilling to become a good thing for your disciples?"
Lu Xueqi was extremely happy for Wen Min in her heart, and hurriedly smiled: "Master, look what you said, how dare the disciples think like this."
I'm here to thank you for Senior Sister Wen Min!"
Master Shuiyue looked at Lu Xueqi's rare sincere smile, the corners of his mouth moved, but he sighed lightly, turned around, stood with his hands in his hands, and looked silently towards the sea of clouds in the distance.
Lu Xueqi was happy, and seeing that Master Shuiyue had a different expression, she said cautiously at the moment: "Master, why did you suddenly think of this?"
Master Shuiyue was silent for a moment, and instead of answering, he asked, "Xueqi, you also went to Dazhu Peak with me, what do you think of your Uncle Su's death?"
Lu Xueqi's expression calmed down, she groaned for a while, and said solemnly: "The disciple thought that Uncle Su and Uncle Tian had a deep affection, and they followed away, but they didn't see any pain. ”
"yes. Master Shuiyue sighed softly, stunned, and said after a while, "I didn't want you to be disturbed by love and delay your cultivation, but what about this cultivation in the end?"
Lu Xueqi didn't know what Master Shuiyue meant, so she didn't dare to speak for a while. I only heard Master Shuiyue say slowly: "As soon as Changsheng said, it is still ethereal and nothing, and he has been practicing penance for a lifetime, but he has spent hundreds of years of wasted time, and your Uncle Su will treat his hundred years of Taoism and life as if he were nothing, but this determination and vision really don't know how much stronger than me." ”
Lu Xueqi's heart suddenly soured, and she shouted: "Master......"
"One life of practice, one life of cultivation, one life of cultivation, but the cultivation of human nature, but what is the suffering?" Master Shuiyue sighed and said lightly, "Actually, what is the Tao and what is the Tao, I have cultivated for one life, and to this day, it is really a little vague. ”
Lu Xueqi stood aside, not daring to speak. Master Shuiyue stood silently, stunned for a while, and suddenly shook his head, as if he didn't want to think about it anymore, and turned around and went down the mountain. Lu Xueqi looked at her back and shouted, "Master, where are you going?"
Master Shuiyue paused for a moment and said, "Wen Min's matter, I have made up my mind, you can go over and talk to her." But ......"
Her voice paused, but she turned around again, with a little more pity on her face, and looked at Lu Xueqi and said, "It's you, Xueqi, have you ever thought about yourself?"
Lu Xueqi was stunned for a moment, and said, "What?" Then he came to his senses, his face turned pale, and he slowly showed a helpless smile, and said in a low voice, "Master, the disciple's life is not good, so I don't dare to be delusional." ”
Master Shuiyue looked at his beautiful and peerless disciple, only to see that her white clothes were fluttering, and she was even more dusty, but the sad look on her face did not know how much had been piled up.
Master Shuiyue suddenly felt a pang of distress in his heart for no reason, and called, "Xueqi." ”
Lu Xueqi raised her head and looked at Master Shuiyue, only to hear Master Shuiyue say lightly: "Xueqi, you have a hard time, but you don't want to turn back, and Master can't say anything to you." It's just that you and I are a master and apprentice, and I don't want to see you like this, if there is a turn for the better in the future, the rules and regulations here in Qingyunmen will be borne by me for you, so you don't have to worry. Lu Xueqi's body was shocked, and she couldn't help but shout: "Master......" but she didn't know what to say for a while.
Master Shuiyue smiled at her, but sighed again, turned to leave, and soon the figure disappeared under the mountain stone steps, only in the mountain wind, her low whisper faintly came: "Ask the world, what is love......"
Lu Xueqi stood in place, her heart was in turmoil for a while, she was sad several times, and her intestines were turning, but she still couldn't think of any results, only in that trance, she suddenly thought in her heart: Not long ago, in the abandoned Yizhuang outside Heyang City, Tian Buyi seemed to have said similar words to her.
——
Fox Qi Mountain, Ghost King Sect.
A pretty figure appeared in the mountainside corridor where the main hall of the Ghost King Sect was located, and unlike all the gray and dull things around it, when this figure moved, it seemed to be flashing with dazzling light, bringing a touch of color to the oppressive atmosphere here.
From time to time, there were disciples of the Ghost King Sect walking by in the passage, and there was hardly anyone who was not attracted by her, but the woman's eyes swept everywhere, but they all walked away quickly, and they didn't seem to dare to have more contact with her. Even in this Ghost King Sect, it seems that she is a special existence.
And she is really special, her eyebrows are picturesque, coquettish and infinite, although she is a little less flattering than the nine-tailed sky fox Xiaobai, but a little more soft, but even so, with her identity as a Miao Gongzi of the Hehuan faction, Jin Bei'er is now standing generously in the realm of this Ghost King Sect, and it still looks a little dazzling.
Jin Zhu'er obviously didn't care about the eyes of the people around her, and for her, it seemed that she was used to being in the limelight. At the end of that beast and demon catastrophe, in the hundred caves of demon suppression in the 100,000 mountains of southern Xinjiang, she finally got out of trouble and returned to Middle-earth, no one knew the twists and turns, and she didn't talk about it to anyone.
At this moment, there is only one direction for her, and the Ghost King wants to summon her.
After passing another intersection, the road in front of him was divided into two sides, the golden bottle stopped, glanced at the passage on the left, and seemed to have a little brilliance in his eyes, then disappeared, and walked towards the passage on the right.
The strange earthquake that suddenly came a long time ago, the damage caused to the Ghost King Sect can still be seen everywhere, and there are many large or small cracks that can be seen from time to time on the rock wall of the mountain, and in this well-ventilated corridor, there is still a faint smell of blood floating in all directions, lingering.
This faint smell of blood, Jin Bei'er naturally felt it, but she was surprised in her heart, but it was not revealed on her face, her status in the Ghost King Sect at the moment was not as good as that of the Hehuan faction in the past, and naturally she would not be nosy. She was secretly surprised by this in her heart, and with her experience and experience, she could naturally feel that this bloody aura was very strange.
Between these thoughts, she had followed the passage to the outside of the room where the ghost king was, she stopped, and was about to open her mouth to call someone to report, when suddenly the stone door in front of her rumbled open, and the ghost king's laughter came from the house, and said, "Is it a bottle, come in quickly." ”
Jin Bei'er was secretly taken aback, but a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Yes." He walked in.
I saw that the stone room was spacious and bright, although the furnishings were not luxurious, but they were also dignified and atmospheric, the ghost king was sitting behind a table, with a large blank paper in front of him, and the four treasures of the study room were placed next to him, and it seemed that he was practicing calligraphy.
Jin Bei'er glanced at the Ghost King, and said with a smile: "The sect master is so interested today, how can he think of writing?"
The ghost king looked up at the golden bottle, smiled slightly, and the smile on the golden bottle's face suddenly stiffened, and he actually felt that the ghost king's gaze was faintly like two sharp blades stabbing at him, and when he looked at it, his eyes were faintly tingling.
But fortunately, the ghost king quickly retracted his gaze, still looking at the white paper under his hand, and beckoned at the same time: "Come and see, how is my handwriting?"
Jin Zhu'er was secretly surprised in her heart, when she got along with the ghost king in the past, she had never felt like this, how could it be that in just a short period of time, the ghost king's Taoist skills seemed to be improving day by day?
But after all, she is not that kind of superficial person, she thought to herself in her heart, but a smile appeared on her face, walked over, brought a burst of incense, and said with a smile: "I am a layman who knows nothing about writing, and it is really difficult for me if the king wants me to come and see it." ”
The ghost king smiled, didn't answer, let go of the way, Jin Bei'er stood by the table, looked at the white paper on the table, and saw that what caught his eye was a big white paper: Kill!
Every stroke of this word is like an iron painting silver hook, extremely heavy, as if to come out of the paper, there is no regular script of the correct atmosphere, not like cursive light and free, free of mind, a breath of extermination, rolling in.
Jin Bei'er was shocked in her heart, and seemed to feel a cold gaze around her, but there was a kind laugh from the ghost king in her ears, and she said, "Bottle, how do you see this writing?"
Jin Bei'er was full of smiles, like a spring breeze, and the room was full of spring, and said with a smile: "The word King Zong is so beautiful, I have been practicing for ten years, and I have written such words." ”
The ghost king looked at Jin Zhu'er lightly, and under his gaze, a chill seeped out of his heart, but the smile on his face was still undiminished, until she felt that the muscles on her face were a little sore because she kept smiling, and the ghost king suddenly looked away.
Jin Bei'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time secretly frightened in his heart, this time when he came back, the ghost king was completely different from the previous temperament, - the killing qi of the body was like a giant wave of frenzy, forced over alive, and looking at the appearance of the ghost king, he himself didn't seem to have the slightest intention to hide it.
This is very different from his usual style, is there something going on these days?
Jin Zhu'er secretly recalled in his heart, and the ghost king over there had already spoken: "Dao Chief, why don't you also take a look, how about this word written by the old man?"
Jin Bei'er's heart was shocked again, and she turned around in astonishment to see that there was still a person standing in the corner of the stone room, dressed in Taoist robes, with a solemn face. Jin Bei'er's mind turned rapidly, and he was even more suspicious, after he entered this stone room, although he was shocked by the strange murderous aura of the ghost king for a while, and God took it, but this person gathered his whole body breath and stood aside without discovering it for himself, which seemed to be not to be underestimated.
The man walked up slowly, looked at the words on the white paper on the table for a while, and after a while, said, "Good words." ”
The ghost king's eyes were still cold, but he still smiled on his face: "What's good?"
The humane: "This word is good in its character stroke trend and the meaning of the word complement each other, the word has killing intent, through the word, rare, rare!"
The Ghost King stared at the Dao man, the Dao man's expression remained unchanged, and he slowly stepped back and stood three feet away beside the golden bottle. The ghost king suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Well said, well said, what the Taoist chief said won my heart." The man bowed his head slightly, thanking him.
Jin Bei'er couldn't help but glance at the Taoist more, only to hear the ghost king say: "Bottle, let me introduce you, this is the worship and strong assistant of my sect, Cangsong Dao Chief." ”
The whole bottle raised his eyebrows, and the sharp color in his eyes flashed, and then he looked at Cang Song with a smile and said with a smile: "Long admiration, long admiration-"
Cangsong Daoren nodded at the golden bottle, and then the ghost king said again: "Bottle, this time I called you back because our Holy Sect will have a major event that is rare for a thousand years, and I want you to help." Jin Bei'er smiled and said, "The sect master just orders, and the bottle will definitely go all out." ”
The ghost king smiled and said: "The specific matter is announced, I have roughly explained it to the head of Cangsong Dao, you can ask him later, although this matter is not in a hurry, but it still needs to be hurried, you will go down first and discuss it carefully." Jin Bei'er nodded, and at the same time as Cangsong Daoren, he saluted the ghost king and retreated.
The stone door slowly closed, and the two walked side by side in the passage, neither of them spoke for a while, only when they passed the three-way intersection just now, Jin Bei'er couldn't help but glance at the road on the left again.
It was also at this time that the voice of the Cangsong Daoist suddenly sounded in his ears: "The deputy sect master of the ghost force has been away from Huqi Mountain for many days, and he is still coming back." ”
Jin Bei'er frowned, his eyes also froze, and he turned to look at Cangsong Daoren, but Cangsong Daoist ignored it, and after only saying this, he walked forward by himself.
After a while, a somewhat mysterious smile slowly appeared in the whole bottle, sneered, and followed him.
