Chapter 4: Secrets

On this day, the cold air in the cold stone room seemed to be much thicker than usual, and even when I looked at it, I had a somewhat hazy feeling, and there was no longer a clear view of the bottom at a glance.

The stone door let out a low roar, slowly opening, but the slender figure that greeted the eye, but somehow, some of it seemed blurry.

It's Yuhime, right?

Thinking like this in his heart, Ghost Li walked in slowly. In the cold stone room, the faint cold air drifted away, and the wisps of it shrouded his figure like a dream. The figure of the woman, quietly facing away from him, stood in front of the cold ice stone platform, and around her, the cold air seemed to be particularly heavy, and even the white gas condensed by the cold air was like frost and snow, which made people unreal.

In the air, the faint and reverberating sound of the crisp bell seemed to be close to the ear.

Somehow, Ghost Li subconsciously stopped, Xu is about today's rì, he is somewhat difficult to face in the face of Yu Ji, especially after Yu Ji loudly reprimanded and mentioned Baguio. In retrospect, although Ghost Li was a little suspicious of the Ghost King's abnormality, he could only be silent and speechless about his behavior of fighting back with all his might without thinking.

Perhaps, in the hearts of the two men, there is already a deep buried hatred?

However, there is still a Baguio in this world after all, and she is lying in this cold stone room.

Ghost Li glanced at the figure that was a little vague and hidden in the cold air, bowed his head silently, and said after a while: "Just now, I took the initiative with the Ghost King Sect, it was my fault, and I don't know how things suddenly turned like this. Don't be angry, I won't be in the future. ’

The figure's shoulders seemed to tremble, but he didn't speak, he still kept quiet, but the cold air around him seemed to circulate faster, and even in this stone room, it seemed to be a little colder. It's just that this cold stone room has always been cold, and Ghost Li didn't care.

He sighed, and stopped, he naturally knew the relationship between Youji and Baguio, after Baguio's mother passed away, the ghost king was focused on the affairs of the ghost king's sect, and Youji had a little bit of the horn of Baguio's mother, which can be known from Baguio has always called Youji 'Aunt You'. Now facing her, especially in this cold stone room, Ghost Li actually has a bit of a real feeling of facing Baguio, and he feels so guilty about Baguio that he is even fighting with the ghost king, and it is even more indescribable to judge life and death.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh and whispered, "I know that you are heartbroken and don't want to see me have another dispute with her father, but I didn't mean to, but I ...... at the time."

He frowned, and the abnormal expression of the Ghost King of Shicai flashed through his mind, shook his head, and said, "Anyway, I promise you, in the future, I will always let him a little bit in the face of Baguio." ’

The slender figure seemed to move again, but it still didn't turn around, but looking at her back, it seemed that she nodded silently, which meant approval.

Ghost Li was silent, silent for a moment, let out a sigh, didn't want to say anything more, turned around slightly, and wanted to walk towards the cold stone platform to take a good look at Baguio.

It was only when he took a step forward, and suddenly, his whole body froze in that moment, like lightning, and a thought passed through his mind, like thunder, roaring in his mind.

Why can't you see this back when you look at it from behind? Almost at the same time, it immediately occurred to her chaotic mind that the hair style of this back figure was exactly the appearance of a girl, which was completely different from the woman with a bun in Youhime.

He turned around like lightning and shouted, 'Who are you?'

The cold air in the cold stone room was like a cold bone in an instant, and the light smoke around that back began to spin rapidly in an instant. Ghost's eyes widened, and it was absolutely unacceptable for him to have outsiders invade this cold stone room.

Just when Ghost Li was about to make a move, suddenly a low roar came from behind him, and Ghost Li was shocked, turned his head to look, and saw that the stone door that had been closed behind him slowly opened again, and a figure appeared at the door.

Slender and tall, masked in black veil, with a quiet temperament, but who is not Youji?

Yuhime opened the stone door, but suddenly saw a strange expression on Ghost Li's face, his eyes were wide open, and the muscles on his face were twisted, but he was startled and couldn't help but take a step back.

But she was not an ordinary person after all, so she immediately calmed down and said coldly: "Hmph, do you still have the face to come here to see Baguio?"

Ghost Li stared at her deeply, and suddenly there was a startled look on his face, as if he remembered something extremely important, and quickly turned around to look, but under this look, he was even more shocked, as if he was stunned, standing in place in a daze, unable to make a sound.

The huge cold stone room, where he was, suddenly, completely restored the appearance that it should have been, the strange drifting white smoke disappeared, the faint sound of the bell disappeared, and as for the mysterious back, it also disappeared out of thin air at this moment.

All the qiΔ“, as if they were the same as the original, were like a dream, an illusion, drifting by, drifting away......

Baguio lay quietly on the cold stone platform, there was still that familiar smile on the corner of her mouth, and between her hands, the light on the Hehuan bell flickered non-stop, gently circulating, as if she was looking at the ghost.

Ghost Li stood in place, his whole body tense, as if he had lost consciousness and was motionless.

Yuhime, who slowly walked into the cold ice stone room, quickly noticed that something was wrong with Ghost Li, glanced at him, frowned, and said, "What are you doing?"

The corners of Ghost Li's mouth moved, but he didn't speak, he just raised his head silently, looking at this cold stone room in a daze, except for the heavy stone door, the cold stone room was surrounded by hard stone walls, and there was not the slightest gap, but at this moment, those cold stone walls seemed to have a bit of cruel ridicule, and looked at the people who looked a little ridiculous.

The wandering gaze slowly retracted, and slowly returned to the icy stone room, lying on the person on the stone platform. In the ghostly eyes, somehow, there was a little blur, and thousands of thoughts rushed like chΓ‘o water, and that gaze finally quietly fell on Baguio's hair.

"What's wrong with you?" was already a little impatient in Yuhime's voice.

Ghost Li closed his eyes, and after a long time, he slowly opened them, and said in a low voice, "When you came in, did you see something strange in this stone room?"

Yu Ji snorted and said in a cold voice, "What's wrong? It's not all exactly the same as before, one table, one person." ’

The muscles in the corners of the ghost's eyes seemed to twitch.

Yu Ji slowly sat down beside Baguio, with a look of pity and pity in her eyes, looked at it for a long time, and said slowly: "I know that you are actually not having a good time, but I just hope you think about it more, if Baguio knows that you actually fought with her father, then how would she feel?"

The ghost didn't speak, and after a while, he suddenly shook his head, took a long breath, and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do." ’

With that, he took another deep look at Baguio, then turned around and strode out.

Looking at his back, Youji's brows furrowed slightly, and she intuitively felt that the ghost Li seemed to be not quite the same as peace, but then she sighed again, a strange person, not to mention him alone, now he is the sect master of the ghost king that she has followed for many years, isn't it becoming more and more incomprehensible to her?

She bowed her head silently and fell into contemplation, there was a quiet place in the cold stone room, only on the acacia bell in Baguio's hand, the brilliance of the streamer flashed, like clear eyes, flickering non-stop, staring at the world.

Qingyun Mountain, Xiaozhu Peak.

In the early morning, there is a fresh breeze blowing slowly, and the verdant bamboo forests all over the mountain shake together, and the sound of rustling bamboo waves, such as the sound of nature, makes people feel peaceful. Last night, a heavy rain, as if the heaven and earth were washed, the fresh air passed by, the distant mountains were full of daisies, and the mountains and rivers were picturesque.

The stone path under my feet is still wet, and occasionally in the cracks of the stones, there is still some rain accumulated last night, and on and on both sides of the stone path, many fallen bamboo leaves have fallen, thinking that they were blown off by the wind and rain last night. It's still early, and no one has come to clean it yet.

Dressed in white like snow, delicate and dusty, Lu Xueqi walked alone in this bamboo forest path. In the morning breeze, her hair was soft and sprinkled on her shoulders, looking at the skin that could be broken by blowing, but there was a faint hint of pink in the snow, like beautiful flowers blooming quietly in the deep mountains and valleys.

On both sides of the stone path, the tall bamboo swayed slightly, and on the green bamboo leaves, there were condensed dew drops, which slid quietly and flew quietly to the earth.

She stepped forward, never looking back, her white clothes fluttering, and walked into the depths of the verdant bamboo forest.

The stone path is deep and twisting, and the bright light of the early morning penetrates through the dense cracks of the bamboo forest, and the bamboo shadow sways lightly, illuminating her slender figure.

A simple bamboo house in front of it, gradually appearing, is the place where the first Water Moon Master of Xiaozhufeng sits and cultivates.

Before Lu Xueqi walked to the hut, she stopped at the door, hesitated for a moment, and reached out and gently tapped the door made of bamboo.

'Master, disciple Xueqi greets. ’

'Come in!' Master Suiyue's voice came from the hut, without joy or sorrow, and seemed to have the slightest emotion, faint as water.

The door squeaked, and was gently pushed open by Lu Xueqi, Lu Xueqi walked in, and saw at a glance that the master was sitting cross-legged on the bamboo bed, closing his eyes and calming down, and he couldn't see any changes in his expression because of his arrival.

Lu Xueqi silently walked in front of Master Shuiyue, knelt down, and said in a low voice, "Master, the apprentice is here. ’

She paused for a moment, and then continued: "Xueqi knows that she has failed your old man's expectations, and made you sad, Master, please punish me!"

Master Shuiyue slowly opened his eyes, his gaze fell on Lu Xueqi in front of him, stared at it for a long time, and then sighed, and said, "If I punish you, will you change your mind?"

Lu Xueqi bowed her head silently, not daring to look at her master's face, and didn't say a word, just looking at her expression, but where did she have the slightest regret?

Master Shuiyue shook his head and said with a slightly wry smile: "Since you are already iron-hearted and refuse to turn back, what's the use of me punishing you, that's it, that's it." Get up!'

Lu Xueqi bit her lower lip slightly, looking a little excited, but she still controlled herself and stood up.

Master Shuiyue gently patted the bamboo couch beside him and said, "You can sit too!"

Lu Xueqi shook her head and said, "The disciple doesn't dare. ’

Master Shuiyue glanced at her and said, "It's just the two of us here, what's there to worry about, isn't it because you hate me as a master after all, and you are separated from me?"

Lu Xueqi raised her head suddenly, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "Master, I'm ......."

Master Shuiyue waved his hand and smiled: "Okay, okay, you were raised by me, what kind of xìng are you, don't I know yet?"

She reached out and grabbed Lu Xueqi's hand, gently pulled her over and sat beside her, carefully looked at Lu Xueqi's beautiful and elegant face, sighed, and said, "No matter what, I, as a master, is for your good in the end, you have to remember." ’

The corners of Lu Xueqi's mouth moved, and she said in a low voice: "What the disciple understands, in fact, is the disciple's fault......

Master Shuiyue shook his head and said, "Forget it, now that the matter is over, let's stop arguing about who is right and who is wrong, and ask the world, what is the situation......?" There are thousands of mountains and rivers, but who can really be with them for a lifetime?'

Speaking of this, it seemed that Master Shuiyue himself had touched his mind, and he was stunned for a while.

Lu Xueqi didn't dare to disturb the master, but she felt the warmth of the master holding her palm, but it was familiar for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, Master Shuiyue suddenly shook the ground, woke up from his trance, smiled bitterly, seemed to be a little self-deprecating, and then said to Lu Xueqi: "Alas, let's talk about these things later, I asked Wen Min to call you over last night, did she tell you everything?"

Lu Xueqi shook her head and said, "Senior Sister didn't say anything, she just told me to come to Master early in the morning and say that if there is anything, Master will tell me yourself." ’

Master Shuiyue nodded silently and said, "Yes, although Wen Min's girl knows a little, but after all, there are not many, so let me tell you!"

Lu Xueqi's heart shook slightly, seeing that Master Shuiyue's face was a little heavy, it seemed that there was something difficult in his heart, and he couldn't help but say, "Master, is there anything difficult, if you need a disciple, just give your orders, the disciple will do his best." ’

Master Shuiyue nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I believe in you, but there is indeed a big event right now, but it is a major matter related to my Qingyun Sect Qi, but I can't let too many outsiders, including our disciples, know, I want to think about it, you are still the only one among the disciples of the sect, and you have the best ability to do things and do things, so I called you over." ’

Lu Xueqi raised her eyebrows and said in slight surprise: "Master, has something big happened in this sect?"

Master Shuiyue smiled bitterly and said, 'Who said it wasn't?'

Lu Xueqi said, 'What's wrong, Master?'

Master Shuiyue pondered for a moment, as if he was also considering, and then said slowly: "Your master uncle, as well as Tian Buyi Tian's uncle of Dazhu Peak, disappeared together a few times ago. ’

Lu Xueqi's whole body was shocked, and said, "They disappeared together?"

Master Shuiyue said lightly: "When a Changmen disciple saw Tian Buyi come to Tongtian Peak and went straight to the ancestral hall of the ancestor in the back mountain, since this time, everyone knows that almost all the senior brothers in charge are in the ancestral hall, and since then, no one has seen them again. ’

Lu Xueqi frowned, obviously surprised.

Master Shuiyue paused for a moment, and then said, "After this incident happened, because the stakes were too great, Xiao Yi, who was now in charge of Tongtian Peak, did not dare to cover it up, but he did not dare to announce this matter anyway, but secretly informed the principals of our several veins. I also went to the ancestral hall afterwards to check, but I didn't expect it to be ...... there.

Lu Xueqi was stunned and said, "What's wrong with the ancestral hall?"

Master Shuiyue shook his head and said, "The ancestral hall and the main hall have almost been destroyed, and it can be seen at a glance that it was destroyed by the mana of the fierce battle. ’

'What?' Lu Xueqi whispered.

Master Shuiyue sneered and said, "The ancestral hall of the Patriarch is the place where my Qingyun Sect worships the ancestors of the past dynasties, and the two of them dare to make a move in such a solemn realm, it is really lawless. And there are even stricter things. ’

Lu Xueqi was not only surprised, but also surprised, she really couldn't think of anything more severe than destroying the ancestral hall of the patriarch, and couldn't help but ask: 'What else?'

"Yesterday, Xiao Yicai hurriedly ran to me," Master Shuiyue's face became solemn, his eyes became a little more worried, and he said slowly: "According to what he said, since Senior Brother Daoxuan disappeared, he tried his best to track it down, so he wanted to check what his master left behind to see what he found, but unexpectedly, he found a big thing. ’

Lu Xueqi stared at Master Shuiyue.

Master Shuiyue closed his eyes, as if he was a little tired, and said, "Xiao Yi only discovered that the Zhuxian Ancient Sword of this sect has also disappeared. ’

Lu Xueqi was speechless.

Master Shuiyue opened his eyes and said, "I know that you are a smart person, and naturally know the relationship and mystery, although the Zhuxian Ancient Sword has been damaged, but this matter is too big, and most outsiders do not know about the damage to this sword, if it is spread, I am afraid that it will be very troublesome; ’

Lu Xueqi exclaimed: "In addition to being a divine weapon of this sect, is there any secret to the Zhuxian Sword?"

Master Shuiyue was silent, he didn't say anything for a long time, and Lu Xueqi didn't dare to speak, he stood aside with his hands down, and said in a low voice for a while: "The disciple is rude, I lost my temper just now. ’

Master Shuiyue shook his head silently, and said for a while: "I don't mean to blame you for being a teacher, it's just that there is a lot to do here, and the ins and outs are extremely complicated......

When she said this, she paused for a while, as if she was pondering, and after a while, she said: "This matter is actually reasonable, even I, the head of Xiaozhufeng, can't know about it, because of the chaos a hundred years ago, a few of us accidentally knew a thing or two. ’

Lu Xueqi was stunned and said, "A few people, could it be that there are other people who know such a big secret besides you, Master?"

Master Shuiyue said lightly: "In the chaos back then, the people involved in it were calculated afterwards, there should be five people, in addition to me, there are also Senior Brother Daoxuan, Tian Buyi, and Senior Sister Su Ru......

Lu Xueqi was listening, but when she heard Master Shuiyue, she stopped, calculated silently in her heart, and couldn't help but say, "Master, there are only four people here, and there is one more?"

Master Shuiyue sighed, a faint melancholy on his face, and said, "It's one of your senior uncles, named Wan Jianyi. ’
