Jing Chuan slept until noon the next day before waking up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 When he sat up from the bed, he only felt that his head was still dizzy, and after drinking a bowl of water and washing his face, he was a little more sober.

Jing Chuan walked out of the room and walked into that hall when Qin Xuegong was already sitting there, and a young man was standing next to him.

Qin Xuegong was drinking, and when he saw Jing Chuan walking in, he said, "Brother Jing, please take a seat." ”

"Get drunk, let's have a bowl. ”

Jing Chuan said, "Thank you, no need." ”

"I didn't expect you to drink a lot. ”

"Not as good as sir. ”

"Don't be too modest, I saw it yesterday, I can't drink you, you are the second person worthy of drinking with me. ”

"Who's the first person?"

"You've seen it before. ”

Jing Chuan wondered, not knowing who he was referring to, so he said, "Jing really can't think of who it is." ”

Qin Xuegong said with a smile: "You will see him soon, and then you can compare the amount of wine with him." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a teenager walked into the hall with a large eagle standing on his arm. Jing Chuan looked at the eagle, which was huge, with dark feathers, sharp beak and sharp eyes, sharp claws like knives, and tight feathers, murderous, tightly fastened to the holster of the young man's arm.

After Jing Chuan saw it, he sighed in his heart: "What an eagle!" After looking at it for a while, he felt familiar, as if it was the eagle he saw when he went up the mountain.

The young man said, "Sir, the prince has sent a letter." ”

"Take it. ”

When Jing Chuan heard them talk about the prince, he wondered in his heart: "Prince, could it be that Qin Xue Palace still has dealings with people from the official family?"

Qin Xuegong took the letter, glanced at it, and then said to Jing Chuan: "This letter is exactly what I said was written by the 'first person'. ”

"You say he's a prince?"

"Yes, he'll be up the mountain tomorrow, and you'll know when the time comes. After Qin Xuegong finished speaking, he picked up a letter from the table next to him and said to the young man, "Give this letter to the prince." ”

"Yes. The boy took the letter and went out again with the eagle.

At this time, the remaining snow leopard slowly walked into the hall. Seeing Jing Chuan, he suddenly jumped in front of him and roared with his teeth.

Qin Xuegong shouted to the snow leopard: "Come here!"

When the snow leopard heard its master's order, it stopped roaring, walked to Qin Xue Palace, sat on the ground, and lay its head on Qin Xue Palace's lap, squinting and rubbing its eyes, and Qin Xue Palace also touched its head with his hand.

"This is the snow leopard I raised, this one is called Qingdian, it is a male snow leopard, and there is another one called Hongyun, the female, which has been killed by you. ”

Jing Chuan saw that Qin Xuegong had a sad expression on his face when he said this, so he said: "When I went down the mountain, I was suddenly attacked by two snow leopards, so I killed the snow leopard in order to protect myself." I don't know if it's Mr.'s mount, I hope Mr. will forgive me. ”

"That's it, I don't blame you. These two beasts are wild and difficult to change, and they have eaten many people. I heard that a person who came with you was bitten to death, and it was because I was not strict in discipline, and I ask Brother Jing for forgiveness. ”

Jing Chuan could see from the snow leopard's tame attitude in front of Qin Xue Palace and the two teenagers that the two snow leopards were very obedient. He suspected that Qin Xuegong deliberately let the snow leopard out to harm people, and bit Li Quan, who came with him, to death, but now he used lax discipline as an excuse, which shows his hypocrisy. But since Qin Xuegong said so, and he asked him to do something, he didn't expose it for the time being, saying: "People are dead and can't be resurrected, it's useless to say this, since it's a misunderstanding, then forget it." ”

Qin Xuegong didn't buy Jing Chuan's account, but avoided the topic, and said with a smile: "Brother Jing can kill one of my snow leopards by himself, presumably his martial arts are strong." ”

Jing Chuan said: "I won the prize, but I just had a knife." ”

Qin Xuegong shook his head and said, "No, no, these two snow leopards are different from ordinary beasts, if their martial arts are not high, even if they have a knife in their hands, they may not be able to kill them." ”

"What do you mean, sir?"

"These two snow leopards were raised by my own hands, and the food they fed since childhood has been poisoned by the insects of the Tianshan Mountains, so the blood and saliva on the body are poisonous, if they are bitten by it, they will also be poisoned, without my antidote, they will die within three days. If I hadn't given you a thousand years of medicinal wine to drink, you would have died in Huangquan long ago. If you've fought them, you'll definitely see that they attack people differently than ordinary beasts. Fierce beasts are different from people, flexible and changeable, and they are powerful, and ordinary people encounter them, even if they have a little kung fu, they may not be able to resist them, let alone my two snow leopards with martial arts. Since you can kill a snow leopard, your martial arts are naturally good. ”

Jing Chuan listened, but did not speak.

Qin Xuegong said: "I see that the knife you use is a good knife, and the knife technique has not been seen before, and it can break through the abdomen of a snow leopard under the attack of two snow leopards, and the knife technique must not be bad." ”

"The sword technique under the lower level is only one of the ordinary knife techniques in the Central Plains, and I want to ask what kind of weapon Mr. uses?"

Qin Xuegong touched his beard and said, "The old man doesn't use weapons. ”

Jing Chuan saw that Qin Xuegong was so arrogant, and he didn't want to be polite to him anymore, so he said, "Oh, then Mr. Kung Fu must have reached the highest realm?"

Qin Xuegong heard the mockery from his words, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said with a smile: "Martial arts are endless, the old man is just looking up and down." ”

"If I have the opportunity to learn from Mr. Jing, I am very honored. ”

"Hahaha!" Qin Xuegong laughed loudly, "No matter how good your kung fu is, if you dare to say this, the old man is still happy." For decades, no one has dared to say that they would fight with me first, and you are the first. ”

Jing Chuan said: "In Xia is a martial artist, he usually likes to study martial arts, and learn from others, if he can learn from Mr. or two, and make progress, it is an honor in Xia." ”

Qin Xuegong said: "It's okay to learn from me, but I will be ruthless, for fear of hurting Brother Jing's life." ”

Jing Chuan saw that he spoke mercilessly, so he said: "That's okay, the martial arts pursued by those who practice martial arts have long put life and death out of the way." If the gentleman wishes, all the rules of Mr. Ann will come. ”

Qin Xuegong thought secretly: "I have given you a way out, since you insist on seeking death, then you are welcome." He smiled and said: "Okay, I like people like Brother Jing who are refreshing! I see that you are different from ordinary people, so let's be direct, we don't want you to pass the second and third levels, tomorrow I will compete with you, if you can take my ten moves, even if you pass, you can do whatever you want me to do." ”

Jing Chuan heard Qin Xuegong say ten moves to pick him up, and thought to himself: "Although this person is proud, he still seems to have kung fu, maybe he is still above me, it seems that he has to deal with it carefully." Then he said, "Yes, a word is a certainty."

"Hahaha, happy and happy, the old man is very happy today!" Qin Xuegong laughed as he picked up a bowl of wine on the table and drank it in one gulp.

Then the snow leopard in front of him stood up, looked up at him, and then lowered its head and whimpered.

Qin Xuegong put down the wine bowl and said to Jing Chuan: "When the snow leopard makes this sound, it is crying, do you know why it is crying?"

Jing Chuan said: "I don't know. ”

"These two snow leopards are a husband and wife who have grown up together since childhood, and they are inseparable every day. You killed its mate, it naturally sad, and the female snow leopard had a three-month fetus in her womb. ”

When Jing Chuan heard this, he was shocked: "You mean it's a snow leopard that is only pregnant?"

Qin Xuegong said: "Exactly. If you kill its wife, it will hate you, and if I don't take care of it, it will definitely fight you to the death. ”

Jing Chuan felt a little regretful in his heart, he didn't expect that he not only killed a snow leopard, but also killed a young life that had not yet been born.

Qin Xuegong saw Jing Chuan bowing his head and was silent, and said: "Brother Jing doesn't have to worry about it, you are out of self-defense, if you don't kill it, it will eat you, so it is common sense for you to kill it, and you don't know that it is pregnant, and those who don't know it are not guilty." ”

Jing Chuan said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Qin Xuegong gently stroked the snow leopard's head and said, "Now that it has no mate, it is sad and wailing all day long, and it is estimated that it will not live long, I plan to kill it." ”

Jing Chuan asked with some surprise, "What?

Qin Xuegong nodded: "I can see from its eyes that it doesn't want to live anymore, even if I keep it, it's no different from death." The snow leopard is a beast of affection, and if one of the snow leopards dies, the other will definitely seek death. You saw it, too, and it was crying, begging me to kill it. ”

Jing Chuan looked at the snow leopard, his hair was loose and messy, his spirit was completely gone, he was crying and crying, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes, it seemed that he was really going to die, which made Jing Chuan feel very uncomfortable.

Qin Xuegong gently stroked the body of the snow leopard, his face was a little gloomy, and said: "These two snow leopards have been with me for six years, I raised them with my own hands, they regard me as their own father, and I also regard them as my own children, and now I can't live anymore, and I don't feel good in my heart." ”

Jing Chuan could hear that Qin Xuegong's words were sincere, and he felt even more regret and guilt in his heart.

"That's it!" Qin Xuegong sighed, leaned over, held the snow leopard's head in both hands, and said to the snow leopard: "Qingdian, since you want to find Hongyun, I'll send you there." ”

The snow leopard seemed to understand Qin Xuegong's words, let out a cat-like cry, stretched out its tongue and licked Qin Xuegong's hand, and then sat down.

Qin Xuegong stood up, pressed a hand on the snow leopard's head, and looked down at it. Jing Chuan looked at it, not knowing what Qin Xue Palace wanted to do.

I saw the snow leopard slowly close its eyes, stretch its neck, and stiffen. Qin Xuegong put his hand on its head, opened his five fingers, and said "Go!", and then pressed his palm down gently, only to hear a sound of bones breaking from the snow leopard's head, and then his body fell to the ground weakly, without moving, and died.

When Jing Chuan saw it, he couldn't help but stand up from his seat all of a sudden, only to see a piece of the snow leopard's head sunk down, and a palm print was prominently displayed!

"What kind of exercise is this, I don't see him accumulating strength, how can he press out a big mudra with one palm?" Jing Chuan exclaimed in his heart.

When the two teenagers saw that the snow leopard was dead, they walked over and carried the snow leopard away.

After Qin Xuegong finished killing the snow leopard, his mood was a little low, and when the young man carried the snow leopard away, he turned around, turned his back to the snow leopard, and stood silent.

After a while, Qin Xue Gong said to Jing Chuan without looking back: "That's all for today, Brother Jing, please go back and rest." With that, he left.

Jing Chuan stood in the hall, still thinking about the palm print just now, and his heart was full of doubts and surprises.
