Rise in the glory of the king system
Chapter 795
Chapter 795
One - "Dependent Origin"
"Yao Xiacang, what are you doing hitting me!" Li Bai covered his head and glared at the girl standing in front of him.
"It's Jian Jia." She said calmly, "Quickly memorize it, don't delay any longer."
"I know, I know." Li Bai muttered, before reading a few words, he said again: "Hey, if I remember it, can I learn swords?"
"I don't know."
"Then why should I memorize it!" He was discouraged, and pushed the "Three Hundred Poems" away from his hand.
Zixia glanced at him, and said quietly: "But if you don't remember, the matter of learning swords will be gone."
Li Bai sighed, picked up the "Three Hundred Poems" that he had pushed to the ground, and memorized it again, shaking his head.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of her straight back and the purple and blue sword at her waist.
In fact, Li Bai endorsed very quickly, and he has an extraordinary talent for literature. He is indeed a genius of heaven.After a while, he remembered it—unfortunately, he didn't care about it.
I closed the book and went to find my master, but I heard my father's voice.
"This kid, Ah Bai, has excellent bones. If he learns swordsmanship, he must be a master of the generation." Through the sky-blue soft smoke screen, he keenly caught the approval in his master's eyes.
Li Bai's heart suddenly surged with joy, and he rubbed his head against the window screen involuntarily.
"But the master also knows, Abai's mother." Li Ke paused, lowered his head and sighed, "If you learn swords and are controlled by hostility, wouldn't it cause endless harm?"
"That's true, let Ah Bai learn poetry with peace of mind - Miss Ah Zi is also very talented in swordsmanship." The master sighed softly, agreeing with Li Ke's point of view.
"Eavesdropping?"
Li Bai was immersed in anger and resignation, and when he heard the familiar tone, he became even more angry. Presumably, his father and wife knew about it, so they pushed the door open and walked in, loudly saying, "Why?"
Seeing that his face was full of sullenness, Zixia thought it was because she was learning swords, so she didn't get angry with him.
"Father." Li Bai said angrily, "Why is it that I can't learn swordsmanship? Didn't Master say that, do I have talent?!"
"I've also said that you are unwell!" Li Ke said in a deep voice.
"Discomfort?" Li Bai's shoulders trembled: "What about Zixia? Is she suitable?!"
Zixia was standing aside and listening. When she heard her name, she turned her head, her eyes filled with confusion and surprise.
"Don't pretend I don't know, Zixia's family members are dead! She won't have demons when she learns swords? Doesn't she have hostility? She doesn't think about revenge?!" Li Bai roared loudly, unaware that Zixia Xia's face was already pale.
"Li Bai!" Li Ke slapped the table, and the blue and white porcelain cup was knocked over, fell to the ground and fell to pieces.His whole face was flushed with anger, and his gray and black beard was up and down.His voice was also trembling: "As far as what you said just now, don't even think about learning swords!"
Before he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves fiercely and went out the door.
The master also shook his head again and again, and followed Li Ke out the door.
Li Bai held back his tears, gritted his teeth, and turned his head fiercely, only to see Zixia still standing there blankly, shouting: "What are you still watching here?! Watching jokes?"
Zixia didn't move, but her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her face was extremely pale, her lips also lost blood color, which was extremely frightening, and those bright but sad eyes were also out of focus.
Li Baifang felt something was wrong, he was stunned, and quickly shook his hand in front of her eyes - but she still didn't respond.
"Zixia?" His voice was very soft, tentatively.
, Zixia's eyes moved slightly, the Ziqing sword in her hand was unsheathed in an instant, and lay across Li Bai's neck, but she stopped for a moment when she was about to cut it off, her hand was shaking violently, her fingertips were too hard, Everything is green.
Li Bai was startled,
Zixia is only 11 years old, and because of the ups and downs since she was a child, she is extremely thin.She held the sword that didn't match her stature, which made her look extremely funny.
"Get lost," her voice trembled, with a crying tone at the end.
"what happened to you?"
"roll!"
In Li Bai's video, Zixia always speaks without tone, always indifferent, just like Baishui, but these two times today can be said to be the most emotional words he has ever heard, she uttered.
He is indeed a genius at learning swords. He felt a strong killing intent at the moment Zixia drew his sword. Although it was only a moment, it was very strong.
Such a strong killing intent, if she hadn't suppressed it by herself, he would have been in danger this time.
So Li Bai didn't ask any more questions, the wind was blowing under his feet, and he ran quickly.
The scenes in her mind haunted her like a nightmare, and she refused to let her escape. She was only an 11-year-old child, and she didn't have a heart as firm as a rock, nor was she as powerful as a weapon.
So she chose to escape again, and quickly touched the body with her little hand, sealed the acupuncture point, collapsed on the ground, and fell into a coma.
Fortunately, after Li Bai escaped, he immediately called his master, so that Zixia would not breed demons.
When the master comes.What came into view was the thin little girl curled up on the ground, her face was still stained with tears, her brows were still frowning, there were two blood holes on her lips, and the purple and green sword was thrown aside, separated from the scabbard.
He sighed, helped the girl up, released the acupuncture points, carried her on his back, took the Ziqing sword from Li Bai, and inserted it into the scabbard.He sighed, "Ah Bai, if you can control yourself and not hurt others like her, then you can learn swordsmanship."
Li Bai just wanted to refute, but suddenly remembered that Zixia became like this today, isn't it because of his few words?So he was still hurting others, so was his mother, and so was Zixia.
"If she couldn't control her killing intent at that time, you probably wouldn't have seen me." The master rubbed Zanzhu, "Controlling your own heart is the most difficult thing. So she is a genius, no, she is one of the geniuses. In terms of talent, you are on par with her, or even better than her, but in terms of character, you are far behind her."
These words were also words from the bottom of his heart. After hearing this, Li Bai felt a little more guilt in his heart. He lowered his head and thought about it all the way.Just as Master put Zixia on the bed and was about to leave, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Master, after I can control my mind, can I learn swords?"
The master did not stop, nor did he look back, but gave him an affirmative answer:
"can."
Li Bai was overjoyed, looked back at Zixia, helped her tuck up the quilt, and whispered softly in his ear: "I'm sorry, but thank you."
Afterwards, the war was raging, the wolf smoked everywhere, hunched over, and his supporters were dying, Li Ke took him around to escape the disaster, and lost contact with his master and Ah Zi.
Li Ke was originally a literati. He was seriously ill and died when Li Bai was 13 years old. Li Bai was alone and studied everywhere. Later, he became seriously ill and lost one foot and stepped into the gate of hell. By chance, I met Pei Min, who was the number one swordsman in the Tang Dynasty. Seeing that he was a rare good seedling and an orphan, he was pitiful and happy, so he cured his illness and took Li Bai as his apprentice.
The green screen deeply surrounds the courtyard, Li Bai makes every move in spring, invites the wind and moon with three cups and two cups in summer, sweeps the fallen leaves under the blade in autumn, and condenses snow on the sword in winter, under the shadow of the sword under the light of the sword, he has practiced for several years in spring and autumn .
Because of his illness, his skeleton was a little thinner than that of ordinary men, and his appearance was natural and good-looking. When he was young, he was always mistaken for a woman and suffered a lot of molestation, so Li Bai cut his hair short...
Because of that serious illness, everything about my childhood was eroded and blurred by the wind on the murals of my memory.But it was a blessing for him.
Without memory, there is also no hatred. Following a person like Pei Min who is aloof and refined, he also has a casualness of idle clouds and wild cranes.
Zixia touched the ground with her toes, and jumped forward quickly, like a swift skipping quickly.The sword was unsheathed, and in a flash of cold light, she was already in front of Li Bai.
Her steps are not big, but extremely fast, floating like clouds, but her feet are extremely steady. Li Bai turned sideways slightly, avoiding the sword light, and drew Longquan from his waist to hold the cold light that was coming towards her.
When the two swords collided, there was the sound of broken jade calmly, which made Zixia's tiger's mouth hurt.
Zixia learned from Master Lu, who is a gentle gentleman, every move is as gentle as a spring breeze passing over a green bamboo, and she pays attention to a soft energy.Zixia is naturally sensitive, so the master deliberately asked her to pursue speed and accuracy. Zixia inadvertently ignored the importance of "ruthless".
Zixia leaned to the right, avoiding direct contact, put her right foot on the ground, and swept her left leg.Seeing her turn sideways, Li Bai had already expected her purpose. He tiptoed to the ground, jumped into the air, grabbed the pear branch with one hand, and kicked Zixia's waist with both feet.
With the strength of sweeping her leg, Zixia quickly shifted her weight to her left leg, put her hands on the ground, and dodged Li Bai's attack.The waist suddenly exerted force, the legs spun into the air, the body bent into a strange arc, and kicked towards Li Bai.
"Young lady can also practice jujitsu?" Li Bai didn't have time to react, so he got kicked hard.
"I have nothing to say to the shameless." Zixia ignored him, and stood up straight with a somersault.
Li Bai still wanted to say something, but Ziqing Baojian attacked him head-on and face-to-face.
This time it's not the body, but the hand holding the branch?Attacking directly at the support point is ruthless—unfortunately, it is still a little tender.
Li Bai clung to the trunk, as if swinging on a swing, and stood on the branch with a somersault, just avoiding the sword light.
"Little girl, I'm not—ah!" Before he could finish speaking, Li Zhi trembled violently, his center of gravity was unstable, and he almost fell, but he still landed gracefully with his powerful lightness kung fu.
"It turns out that the girl didn't want to chop off my hand, but this pear tree." The smile on Li Bai's face was no longer loose, and he was a little more appreciative.
"Although I hate you, I won't destroy your hand." Zixia stared at him with a serious expression.
"Pfft." Li Bai couldn't help laughing. Firstly, he thought that the girl was unexpected when he chopped down the tree. How could he know that it was for this reason? Secondly, he was after all a disciple of Pei Min, so how could he end up being chopped down? hand?
"Then Li is really thankful, girl!" Li Bai laughed, the alcohol had already turned into sweat during the fight just now, and he was sober. He stretched, walked past Zixia, and gently returned the white jade hairpin. With her hair in a bun, she said loudly: "I Li Bai, I don't mean to offend, I hope the girl will not blame me."
After finishing speaking, Li Bai picked up the pear blossoms he had just folded and walked towards the city.
"Li... Bai..." Zixia's eyes moved slightly, she turned around abruptly, and shouted: "Li Bai!"
"Huh?" Li Bai turned around slowly.
Her eyes were burning, and she was staring at his face - she really hadn't noticed this man's face just now.Long sword eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, the corners of the eyebrows and eyes are full of arrogance; hanging gall nose, upturned lips, voice and smile are all unruly.
But he still didn't recognize me...
"Nothing." She concealed the longing in her eyes, "Little girl Zixia."
([-]) Half into the river and half into the clouds
Dusk falls, and the crescent moon hangs on the treetops.
Li Bai carried a half-jug of freshly made wine and wandered into the Magic Dance Band.
The peonies on the wooden stand are exquisitely carved, and there is a blue and white porcelain vase on the side of the stand. Inside the vase is a bunch of white pears.Li Bai stepped on the vermilion wood floor and walked into the garden.
Although the Magic Dance Band is a place where dancing girls and singers live, the layout and decoration exudes an elegant charm without any trace of heavy makeup.
The girls in the workshop are not only beautiful, but also amazingly talented.The songs played are all penetrating, and all the dances are full of affection.
Li Bai is not keen on rhythm, but there is free tea and wine here every night.Li Bai also became a frequent visitor of Magic Dance Band.
"Hey, Lord Sword Immortal is here again!" When the waiter saw Li Bai, he approached him with a playful smile, "What kind of wine does Lord Sword Immortal want to drink today?"
Li Baibai glanced at him and shook the wine gourd on his phone: "I'm not going to drink wine today, Lord Bai, I have my own good wine."
The man stared at the wine gourd for a long while, then turned his forehead: "I remember! Isn't this the jug of Mrs. Lu's house? Mrs. Sword Immortal was beaten by Mrs. Lu when she went to steal wine last time—tsk tsk, then Call it a horrible sight!"
"Go, go, go, do your work, Lord Bai, I don't care about you." Li Bai was not annoyed, he flicked the boy's head, and sent him over.
I went straight to the Eight Immortals table in the corner and sat alone.
Li Bai was old friends with the owner of the Huanwu Orchestra, and they often came to the music workshop to eat, drink, and live.
After going back and forth, Li Bai became acquainted with that young man.At the beginning, the boy only thought of how weird the sword fairy would be, but after a long time, he realized that the sword fairy is very good, and it is not a problem to make fun of the sword fairy on weekdays.
Li Bai took a sip of his wine, squinted his eyes and looked at the stage. Behind the bead curtains, there were layers of veils and gauze shadows, which looked like evening clouds from a distance.
Xia...Zixia...that girl is also called Zixia today, but her cold appearance is not as bright as sunset.
Surrounded by veils, there is a golden round stage, and a few maple leaves are embroidered on the curtain behind the stage, which can be seen by a lone bird.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp, Mulan is weaving at home." A soft female voice sounded, and the noisy hall fell silent for a moment.
"Today, the story to be played is the story of Hua Mulan, the current general of Zhenxi."
The candles in the room were extinguished, and the stage slowly lit up.The sound of clank and pipa came from my ears.
Gently tap and wipe slowly, and then slowly change the speed, playing the urgency and heroism of killing the enemy outside the Great Wall.
The red candle on the stage was lit, and a thin woman stood holding a sword.Dancing with the pipa, the two swords in her hands danced vigorously, without any weakness, and heard her sing slowly: "It's rare to be alone, Mulan used to be a girl."
Li Bai marveled inwardly, this girl looks like she is only in the age of cardamom, but she is so proficient in technique, her voice is mellow and the end tune is long, it seems she is very talented.While he was sighing to himself, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a lavender clothes corner.
"Zixia?" Li Bai frowned incredulously, and said to himself, "Why is she here?"
Li Bai thought there was some reason, so he quietly followed behind Zixia.
She frowned slightly, looking left and right, as if she was looking for something, but also seemed to be avoiding something.
"Ah!!!" The ear-piercing scream resounded through the sky above the orchestra.
There was a commotion in the band hall soon, cursing, crying, and screaming mixed together.People crowded people, people trampled people.
Li Bai frowned, covered his ears, and secretly sighed that the voices of these girls were loud enough, sharp and thin, almost piercing people's eardrums.
"Everyone, calm down! Calm down!" the "Mulan" just now shouted loudly.
Li Bai rubbed the Cuanzhu acupoint, thinking to himself, how can your words be overwhelmed by all the screams...
Suddenly, Zixia drew out her sword.
Li Bai hurriedly grabbed her, and made a silent gesture to her.
"Don't act rashly." He leaned close to her ear and whispered.
Zixia hesitated for a while, then put the sword back into the scabbard.
"Everyone be quiet!" "Mulan" on the stage was still trying to shout, and the folks in the band also worked hard to maintain order and try to appease the rioting crowd.
At this moment, several men in black jumped down from the roof and rushed straight to "Mulan".
That girl is indeed a martial artist, she threw a paper umbrella in her arms and instantly swept it away.Her figure suddenly disappeared from the stage, and appeared at the paper umbrella in an instant.
At this moment, a little girl was squeezed by the crowd and was about to fall, and was about to hit Bai Sensen's blade. "Hua Mulan" quickly pulled the girl over, stabbed the paper umbrella, and threw the blade away.
A hidden arrow flew from the side.
Li Bai screamed in his heart, the girl was still protecting the little girl in her hands, how could she escape!
"Tsk."
Hearing Zixia beside him sigh secretly, Li Bai broke away from his hand, and the Ziqing sword in his hand flew out, cutting off the hidden arrow.
Then he flew down the stands lightly on his toes, landed gracefully, and stood in front of "Mulan".
In this way, the target is exposed!Li Bai supported the forehead, the enemy is dark and we are clear, and he exposed his position, so how to investigate thoroughly?He also pushed himself into the center of the storm.
The moment she landed, arrows poured out from all directions and shot at the two of them.
Zixia kept holding the sword flower, and flicked the scissors away. "Hua Mulan" also quickly twirled the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, but there were so many people, the efforts of the two of them were like a drop in the bucket, how could they protect so many helpless spectators? !
Li Bai sighed, "That's all."
After finishing speaking, he flew forward, and the Longquan sword in his hand transformed into countless sword shadows, flying towards the source of the hidden arrow.
Sure enough, the sword rain stopped.He retracted his sword and jumped down from the stands.
"My little girl, Gongsunli, thank you so much for saving my life." Hua Mulan bowed profusely.
"Miss Gongsun, do you know who is responsible for such a murderous act?" Li Bai saw that the crowd had successfully evacuated and Di Renjie had also arrived at the scene, so he had no worries, so he asked.
"This... A Li doesn't know." The girl took off her helmet, revealing a pair of cute rabbit ears.
Li Bai expected to answer like this without asking too much, and said softly: "That's it." Whether he believed it or not was different in his heart.
"So...Li Shaoxia doesn't know what I'm going to do just now?" Zixia frowned when she heard this.
"I originally hoped that the girl would not expose her target and set herself on fire." Li Bai quickly explained.
"..." Zixia was silent.
"You know, I have tracked down the group of people who attacked just now for more than a month, and just now is the best chance." Zixia was a little annoyed.
"This..." Li Bai 囧, his voice became a little softer, "I just want to help you."
"That's it."
"Several, please come with me." Di Renjie showed his token, and Li Bai felt that his coming was very timely.
"Meet you again, Mr. Di." Li Bai saw this ingenious hairstyle with black and green, and couldn't help but think of the "good" time when he was chased all over the place by tokens.
"Master Sword Immortal." Di Renjie cupped his hands symbolically, "It's true that you are responsible for all violations of law and discipline."
"That is, in order to maintain the peace of Chang'an City, ensure the happy life of the residents of Chang'an City, and defeat the evil forces, Li is obliged to do so." Li Bai said righteously, with an extremely serious expression.
"I believe you ghost..."
([-]) Delicate flowers are staggered and the clouds are covered with frost
When Di Renjie finished inspecting the music workshop, it was already late at night, so he had to wait until the next morning to ask the three of them again.
The next day, Li Bai told Di Renjie what had happened. Di Renjie saw that there was nothing suspicious, so he let him go back.
When I came out, I just met Gongsunli.
"Young Master Li." Gongsun Li bowed slightly and saluted.
"Miss Gongsun." Li Bai returned the salute, and secretly looked at the girl in front of him: she had taken off her costume and was wearing a maple-red dance dress. Her long beige hair was loosely tied in a bun, and under the bun was a pink peony.
"The peonies on the girl's head are very cute. Miss Dai's head really corresponds to the saying 'flowers match beauty'. Flowers have no aura, but I see that this peony is also very lively because of the girl's pretty face." Li Bai chatted. road.
Gongsunli smiled shyly: "Peony is a beautiful country, A Li is just a dancer, how can it match the grace and luxury of Peony? The young hero praised it absurdly."
"It's just that Li has always studied peonies. Looking at this flower on the girl's head today, the petals are from the inside to the outside, and the color is more gorgeous. The outermost petals are pink, and the innermost ones are white. Li really Never seen."
"This flower is called Xiashangshuang." A Li replied, "I think it is a new variety cultivated by flower lovers."
"Xia Shangshuang...a good name and a good fate!" Li Bai laughed. Isn't this peach red the same as Xia, and this whiteness is not the same as Shuang?The three characters "Xia Shangshuang" could not be more vivid.
"There is still something to do in the dance workshop, so the little girl will not accompany you. Let me go." A Li cupped his hands and walked away on lotus steps.
Li Bai said goodbye to Gongsunli and walked aimlessly on the bustling Zhuque Street.
There are four main streets in Chang'an City, Qinglong Street in the east, Baihu Street in the west, Zhuque Street in the south, and Xuanwu Street in the north.
Most of the people living on Suzaku Street are rich and wealthy merchants, and the flow of people is huge. It is even more prosperous than Qinglong Street where officials gather. It is the most prosperous of the four streets.
Li Bai liked the aged wine from Mrs. Lu's house on Zhuque Street very much. Mrs. Lu's son died in the turmoil six years ago, and her son was about the same age as Li Bai, so Mrs. Lu treated Li Bai as her own son.
As for stealing alcohol.Lady Lu was worried about Li Bai's health, so naturally she didn't allow him to drink too much, and Li Bai was an alcoholic, so she made a fuss.
"Young master, your jug."
Li Bai suddenly heard a male voice as gentle as snow calling him, it turned out that he was only busy walking, and the wine pot on his waist fell off at some point.
"Ah - thank you, little brother." Li Bai took the jug and looked at the young man in front of him.
The young man was very good-looking, with a clean and elegant aura, and his clothes were indifferent and refined, but they were white and blue. The patterns on his clothes seemed to be dyed with ink, adding a touch of bookishness.
"This little brother is playing chess?" Li Bai looked to the front and behind him, under the luxuriant sycamore tree, there were cold and warm jade chess pieces.
"That's right, it's just that no one is playing chess with me, so I can only arrange my own positions to pass the time." The young man smiled, with two dimples showing on his white chin.
"Why don't I play a game of chess with the young master?"
"This is the most wonderful thing - please, sir."
Li Bai is not a person who loves chess, but he just has a little understanding. Today, he played against someone who loves chess, and he was defeated very quickly.
"I lost." Li Bai smiled.
"My lord, let me go." The young man smiled modestly and tidied up the chessboard.
"Xia Shanshuang." Li Bai looked at the peonies in the jade vase on the table and read.
"My lord, do you know this flower?" The young man paused his hands arranging the chessboard, and looked at him in surprise.
"I also met by chance." He got up and took two sips of wine, "Little brother, are we destined to meet again?"
"I will live here forever. If you want to discuss chess with me, Yi Xing is welcome at any time." The young man got up and waved goodbye to him.
Li Bai strolled around and arrived in front of Mrs. Lu's wine shop.
"Aunt Lu." He knocked on the door.
"Here we come." Mrs. Lu wiped her hands quickly and walked over.
"Is business okay today?" Li Bai asked casually as he entered the door.
"When the spring is cold, a few glasses of thin wine are a good choice to warm your bones. How can business be bad?" Mrs. Lu boiled a cup of wine for him and handed it to him, "It's still cold at the end of February, so don't drink it. Too much cold wine."
"Okay." Li Bai took the wine glass obediently.
"Hey, Aunt Lu, what's growing in that blue and white porcelain pot?" Li Bai suddenly saw a pot of unknown creatures in front of the counter at some point—grey, green, and ugly.
"Peony!" Aunt Lu replied, "It will bloom this year, and mine is a rare and precious purple."
"Peony...isn't it blooming?"
"You child, are you confused by drinking? Peonies are so delicate, how can you bear this kind of weather?" Mrs. Lu smiled and patted his head.
"What month does the peony bloom?"
"April to May." Madam Lu thought for a while and added, "Your Uncle Lu is a gardener, that's what he said."
"Is there a kind of peony whose petals are getting lighter and lighter from the outside to the inside, the outermost layer is pink, but the innermost layer is white?" Li Bai asked eagerly.
"This... I've never heard of this—ah, by the way, the peony alchemists on Qinglong Street brought many strange peonies, which bloom all year round."
The more Li Bai listened, the more confused he became. The dancer, the chess player, and the peony alchemist, three people with completely different identities, seemed to have some secret connection.
"Aunt Lu, let me go out!" Li Bai suddenly stood up and rushed out the door, even forgetting to take the wine gourd.
"This child, why are you in a hurry." Lady Lu shook her head while putting away Li Bai's jug.
([-]) Violence rose at the end of more than [-] years
However, Li and Hu's expressions suddenly changed. Both of them are of mixed blood of the demon species, and the fear of the word "red killer" has long been engraved in their bones.
Red refers to the demon species. The so-called red killers are a group of extreme demon hunters and believers in gods. Facing the increasingly relaxed relationship between humans and demons, a small number of people no longer treat demons. With prejudice, more people began to try to accept the demon seed.But this group of people, they fanatically believe in the God of Creation, and they don't want to let the "humble" demons be liberated. They think that slaves will always be slaves.
And in the face of this world that cherishes peace more and more, they are angry-why can their beliefs be discarded so easily?Why should all their efforts to eradicate the demon species and completely enslave the demon species be ruined?They are not reconciled!So they want to take revenge, take revenge on those monsters, and take revenge on those who are willing to accept the monsters!
Thus, the Scarlet Killer was born. He may come at a certain night and take away the life of the demons and the hybrids of the demons. They also developed the potion that the demons are most afraid of - demon hunting water.
They would sprinkle the witch hunting water on the sleeping face of the beautiful half-breed girl, and then watch her writhing, covering her face, crying, shouting, seeing every inch of her snow-white flesh and jade bones with her own eyes. Rotten before him!Watch a vivid life disappear in the silent night with your own eyes!
Even later, they didn't even spare people who were close to the mixed blood of the demon species. Those people were regarded as "betrayers of mankind" by them, so those people were "justly" and "awe-inspiringly" sentenced to death.
This force is like a black wind that once swept across the entire Continent of Kings.
Until 43 years ago, the Messengers of Peace came together towards a common dream - equality.
They were born to die, and the red killers were wiped out, but most of the warriors fell.
In the end, the tragic struggle of the fallen stars was just a few strokes of the historian, so it was revealed.At that time, the blood and tears, fighting spirit and ideals were no longer mentioned-in the final analysis, it was still the damn superiority in the bones of the human race, and they were noncommittal about the justice of this war.
Even though they already understood the difficulty of peace, deep down in their hearts, the sense of superiority buried deep in the roots of the thought tree made them ignore this war for equality.
As a result, the activities of the Red Killers stopped for 43 years.
The long period of silence and the few words in the historical materials have made people forget that there was once a bloodthirsty organization that almost shattered the peace earned by generations of hard work by itself.
"Is that the group of people this morning..." The light in Ah Li's onyx-colored pupils dimmed.
"Yes." Ming Shiyin affirmed: "Your profession needs to show your face frequently, and today is a hard time for you."
"It doesn't matter to me, it's just those helpless spectators..." Gongsunli sighed.
"Boss, Lord Sword Immortal..." Pei Qinhu approached Peony Way, his eyes full of questions.
"If he doesn't overstep, we won't bother him." Ming Shiyin naturally knew what Pei Qinhu was thinking, his fingers caressed the gorgeous petals, "Tiger, today you let Li Bai go without authorization, you violated discipline and should be punished. "
"Pei Qinhu, accept the punishment." Hearing this, Pei Qinhu tapped on one knee.
"I'll punish you for cultivating this rosy cloud." Ming Shiyin smiled slightly, with a trace of teasing in his eyes, "If it doesn't bloom, don't even think about eating meat."
"Pfft..." Yi Xing couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.
"Yuhuan." Ming Shiyin glanced at Yi Xing, and then focused on Yang Yuhuan, "You had the chance to stop Pei Qinhu, but you turned a blind eye. You should be punished."
"collar."
"At noon tomorrow, prepare tea at Yushui Pavilion." Ming Shiyin put the tea bag in Yang Yuhuan's palm, but did not explain how to do it.
Yang Yuhuan was obviously used to it, and he accepted the tea tacitly without asking any questions. He held the pipa and moved towards the door with lotus steps.
"What about the mission of A Li and I, Master?" Yi Xing asked hastily.
"Yixing, you go to find out about Di Renjie's tone tomorrow—A Li, you don't need to go on missions these few days if you stay in the house—safety is the most important thing after all." Ming Shiyin arranged the mission and walked to In the middle of the courtyard, all the peonies bloomed around him, as gorgeous as fireworks in the night sky.
He opened his arms, looking directly at the dazzling sun with red and white pupils.
The thin lips opened and closed, murmuring something.
Yi Xing and A Li had already gone away, and Huzi couldn't do anything about the delicate flowers, so he stared straight at the leader.
Just now that action happened to fall into his eyes, Hu couldn't help asking:
"Boss, what are you talking about?"
Ming Shiyin put his hands down, his gaze stayed on Pei Qinhu's face for a long time: "The sun tells me that the immortals are coming."
"Immortal?" Pei Qinhu sneered, "Why do you believe such illusory things?"
"No, I'm not talking about the gods in the sky." Ming Shiyin shook his head.
"That is…?"
"Tiger, immortals are the sustenance of people's good wishes." Ming Shiyin walked to the pool and filled the pot with water, "then they did everything they could to please the immortals—in the end, nothing was achieved. But wise people put their hopes on themselves, They were down-to-earth, worked extremely hard, and then created their own mythology. They are their own gods!" Ming Shiyin said so many words for the first time.
"Be your own god..." Hu Zi seemed to have a feeling, he was silent for a while, but he still asked weakly, "Leader, why don't you be my god for once, teach me, this Xia Shangshuang... how to serve you... "
The corners of Ming Shiyin's lips raised slightly, and the dark clouds in his heterochromatic pupils were swept away, and his voice followed him into the room, blowing in the chilly spring breeze, and falling on the rustling petals.
"Don't teach."
([-]) A man should be like this
Yushui Pavilion, as the name suggests, the water is like jasper.The pavilion is also cleverly built, with its cover and wings like an eagle spreading its wings.The vermilion pillars of the pavilion are decorated with pavilions on the upper and lower sides, with birds carved on the upper part, kylins painted on the lower part, decorated with pearls and emeralds, resplendent in gold and jade.
There is a square coffee table and several stone chairs in the center of the pavilion, all decorated with green jade.
Yang Yuhuan wore a moon-white embroidered plum jacket skirt, a sapphire blue horse-face skirt, and a silver-white wreath pattern embroidered on the skirt, and a spirit snake bun on her head.Different from her usual red and green outfits, today she is dressed in plain clothes, with simple and elegant makeup, like a moonlight fairy, who has strayed into the mortal world.
She walked in a meandering manner, and sat opposite the red-haired man with lotus steps.
"Master alone?" Yang Yuhuan had a just right smile on his face, any more would be too contrived, and any less would not show sincerity.
The man was eight feet tall, with a dignified appearance, and his long flame-like hair was gathered into a ponytail, capable and refreshing.
"Why, Miss, would you like to drink with me?" The man toasted, and it was raining heavily outside the pavilion, and ripples bloomed on the emerald-like lake.
"Eating wine makes you sweat. After sweating, the wind blows and you get cold. The little girl got a piece of tea the day before yesterday, and the color is very good. How about I add a cup of tea for you?"
"Very good." The man listened to the tea, his eyes dissipated, and the hand that was calloused by the gun barrel rubbed the wine glass, and then put it down heavily.
When Yang Yuhuan handed the tea to the red-haired man, his lake-blue pupils shrank slightly, and his expression froze, but he quickly regained his laxness.
"Girl, Han Xin took this hot cup of tea." He drank the hot tea with a smile, and pressed the teacup on the tea table, with the residual warmth of his palm and boiling water.
The dark blue tea leaves cooled down quickly. Han Xin held up his umbrella and walked into the slightly cold spring rain. The cold spring breeze blew across his cheeks, and most of the drunkenness was awakened.
The corners of Yang Yuhuan's lips curled up. The coward who only knew how to cry back then can now stand on his own, defying hardships and dangers.
Where Yang Yuhuan couldn't hear, Han Xin turned his head, looked at the curtain of light rain, and said softly: "You will fulfill your mission."
Six years ago, famine.
The fiery red sun was in the sky, continuing to scorch the cracked earth, and the hot sand was blown up by the wind, blinding the eyes.
Han Xin rubbed his eyes vigorously, physiological tears overflowed from the blue pupils and evaporated quickly.
The heat absorbed by the evaporation made him feel cool for a moment, but it did not take away the sand in his eyes.
Han Xinxu narrowed his eyes, braved the strong wind, and shuffled forward in the desert, his clothes that were shredded into rags fluttered in the wind and sand.
Behind him were countless people like him, dense gray and black wriggling with difficulty in the golden desert.
"father."
He forced the sound out of his thirsty and hoarse throat with difficulty.
"How long...how long?"
Father Han slowly turned his head to him, raised his hand, and made a gesture of three.
"Three hours? Three days? Three months? Or three years?!" A big brother who was traveling with him finally couldn't hold it anymore, and he yelled—even though his voice was hoarse, he couldn't raise his voice.
Father Han was silent. Leaning on crutches, he raised his head to look up at the sky, Gu Jing's eyes reflected the scorching sun.
"Yeah, elder... my daughter... two days later, if my daughter can't eat anything, she will be doomed!" The old mother, who was bent over by life, knelt down at Father Han's feet, her sunken eye sockets were already full of blood. Shed a tear.
"Patriarch!"
The people behind him knelt down, each telling his misfortune and dissatisfaction.
Han Xin covered his ears irritably, when suddenly he saw a boy with purple hair.
He was sitting on the ground, the embarrassment on his face could not hide the sharp teasing and mocking in the violet eyes, he stroked his short hair of the same color, seemed to notice Han Xin's gaze, and raised a provocative smile at him.
Han Xin is not an irritable person, and he is indifferent to this kind of provocation.
But at the same time, he is also a curious person. He narrowed his lake-blue eyes, stepped barefoot on the hot yellow sand, and sat beside him.
"You are different from them." Han Xin stared into his eyes, the inquiry in his eyes met his mockery.
"What's the matter, young master." The man's voice was deep, and the hoarseness caused by thirst made his voice even more magnetic.
He paused: "Not everyone will regard you as gods."
"We are not gods." His glass-like eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Pfft ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha." The purple-haired boy laughed, "But they regard you and your father as gods! They are cowardly, lazy, and long for the salvation of the gods, but you, you are stronger and far-sighted than them, so you Became their god - you enjoy the worship of 'believers' too, don't you?"
"No." The fire in Han Xin's eyes was extinguished, and he looked at the boy in front of him disappointedly.
The boy laughed even harder, so that he coughed violently: "Maybe you haven't thought about it this way, but you are rightly enjoying all of this!"
"You can always get better water and food with less work, can't you?"
"I……"
"You never have to worry about being abandoned, you never experience loss, do you?"
"You never—"
"No!" Han Xin roared, stopping the boy who was getting more and more excited.
"I didn't." His voice trailed off again.
The purple-haired boy saw the tears in his eyes, shut his mouth, looked at the sky for a long time, and said softly, "I admire the founding monarch of Qin."
"Ying Zheng!" Han Xin's eyes lit up, and the flame ignited again.
"Yes, he gave the people of Qin land equality, peace, and human rights." The boy stretched his hand to the sky, his eyes sparkling with admiration.
"Naihe II is cruel." Han Xin sighed.
"Yes, I have seen Ying Zheng with my own eyes, and he told me that only when a person becomes his own god, can he be a complete, independent and successful person."
"A man should be like this!" He stood up, facing the scorching sun, and opened his arms.
The flames in Han Xin's eyes became brighter, and he raised the corners of his lips: "What is your name?"
"Liu Bang."
Intuition told Han Xin that he would become good friends with this boy.
that's the truth.
"Come with me." The voice was as gentle as moonlight entering water.
The man reached out to her, and she felt that she had encountered a spring breeze.
Then she went with him.
She has a name - Gongsunli.
That person was Ming Shiyin. When Gongsunli heard this name for the first time, he was so happy that he repeated it several times. Ming Shiyin asked her what was wrong, but she smiled shyly and didn't answer.
Later, Ming Shiyin became her master, and there was a white and thin boy named Yi Xing who studied with her.
Gongsunli likes every sunny morning the most, watching the sunlight gild Master's silver-white hair, and then she can stare at it all morning. Master is an extremely cold person, and the word gentle has nothing to do with him, but Gongsunli knows I remember, on that gloomy night, when he stepped on the moonlight, his eyes were clearly as gentle as water.
She likes that kind of master.
So she felt that the gentle Chaoyang was the most suitable for Master.
-
The master taught her to recite poems and compose Fu, she learned very quickly, and taught her self-defense skills, but she kept interrupting.
Girls should be gentle and gentle, twisting embroidery needles lightly with their fingers, dancing with knives and swords, of course it is left to boys.
By coincidence, Gongsun Liwu can't do it, but Wu can do it.
She has a very good figure, and she is also extremely sensitive to rhythm, so Ming Shiyin invited a dancer named Diao Chan to teach her how to dance while he was teaching Yi Xing martial arts.
-
On her 14th birthday, her master gave her an oiled paper umbrella with red maple embroidered on the light yellow background. She liked it so much that she couldn't put it down.
Seeing that she loves umbrellas, Diao Chan wants to teach her the umbrella dance, and Gongsunli is naturally very happy.
She knew that when she opened the paper umbrella and stretched her jade arms, she would be the only one in Master's eyes. Unfortunately, he never smiled, and his eyes were always blank.
Is it because I didn't do well enough?
Then try harder!
She practiced dancing harder and harder, and Diao Chan also said that she was the most talented and hardworking dancer she had ever seen in her life.
But the master still couldn't smile, and even the blush that Chaoyang put on him couldn't add any more warmth to him.
-
Master has a peony garden, and he never lets A Li and Xiao Xingxing go in, but he often stays there for half a day.
At that time, after the morning schoolwork, Gongsunli was strolling at home and arrived outside the peony garden without knowing it.
Suddenly heard a chuckle, as if the clouds cleared away the fog.
Oh, it's Master.
She also heard a soft female voice.
A thing called jealousy grows secretly in the bottom of my heart.
Did Master know how to laugh?
So there is a girl hiding in the peony garden?
Who is that girl?
What is her relationship with Master?
Her heart was in a mess, as if fleeing, she quickened her pace and quickly ran back to her room.
She felt her nose was a little sore—maybe it was the cold spring breeze—or so she told herself.
She looked up, only to see that the pretty girl in the prismatic mirror had her eyes reddened by the spring breeze, and she shed tears—it seemed that it hurt her heart too... Spring breeze, I really don't understand the style...
-
"Little Xingxing, tell me, what is hidden in Master's Peony Garden?" She lay on the table, resting her chin with one hand, a cunning flashed in her eyes.
Yi Xing closed the book, expressionless: "I don't know."
"Does little Xingxing want to know?" She tugged on Yixing's sleeve.
"…In no mood"
"..." Gongsunli stood up abruptly, staring at Yi Xing, only to see the other side's expression "Don't try to trick me this time".
Gongsunli stuck out his tongue, this guy is really a standard good student, but!I don't care how you stand still, this girl will definitely drag you into the water!
"Little Xingxing, a few days ago I danced with Sister Diaochan at Anqinghou's Mansion." She said slowly, her amber eyes stared at Yixing, and she watched Yixing's eyes light up with satisfaction .
"Marquis An Qing, the Chi Fei chess piece!" Yi Xing swallowed, "You got it?"
"Of course." Gongsunli turned over and sat on the table with her legs crossed. In order to bribe a certain chess idiot, if those dignitaries wanted to reward her, she would first ask for peony flowers and second for chess.
Yi Xing's blue pupils looked up and down, and his lips opened and closed, as if he was going through a fierce ideological struggle.
"Tell me what the plan is."
"Come here." Gongsunli immediately burst into a bright smile, waved to him, and whispered a few times in his ear.
"Understood, I will try my best." Yi Xing picked up the book again, looked up after a few glances, "Remember, the Chi Fei chess piece."
"I won't miss you." She sat back in her seat humming a little tune.
-
"Master, there is something that Yi Xing cannot understand recently..."
As soon as Ming Shiyin was admitted to the hospital, Yixing stopped him, and Gongsunli skipped out the door, and then rushed to the back of the peony garden.
walk through the door?It doesn't exist, how could she have the ability to steal the key from the master, Gongsunli observed carefully yesterday, this peony garden is built in a special place, surrounded by water in the garden, with mountains behind it, it can be said to be a holy place to escape the summer heat and enjoy the scenery.
Master likes to build high walls, and Gongsunli, a child who doesn't know martial arts, will definitely not be able to climb over them, so she thought of borrowing mountains to get over.
The mountains in Heluo are not rocky mountains. Looking from a distance, they are magnificent and beautiful. The trees in the mountains are all century-old trees, with branches slanting out from the sides, and some even extend into the yard.
What Gongsunli wanted was to use this kind of tree to get in. She pulled a few feet of red silk and hung it on the book, grabbed the red silk with her jade hand, slowly climbed up the tree, and then carefully climbed along the branches to the edge of the courtyard wall.
After she finished this section without any danger, she got off the wall, but saw a beautiful woman standing under the plum blossom tree not far away.
Ink-like long hair, pink skin, wearing a pale pink floor-length dress, and a light white cloak wrapped around her jade arms.
Just by looking at her from a distance, she knew that she couldn't match such a temperament.
The beauty seemed to sense the torch-like gaze, she turned around slowly, and smiled at Gongsun Liqiao.
"Girl." The voice was so gentle that it was not like it should be in the world.
Probably at that moment, Gongsunli understood what is self-confession and what is the difference between cloud and mud.
"Is my sister a fairy in the sky?" She asked blankly.
([-]) The fog makes it difficult to distinguish between true and false
The spring breeze and rain disturbed the pear blossoms who had just arrived, Li Bai sat in the restaurant box, his eyes reflected the misty rain outside the window.
After having a drink, the charming woman on the opposite side played with the silk flower in her hand, and said in a soft voice, "The Gongsun girl you mentioned, we have never had it in our dance studio."
"So that's the case." Li Bai's eyes darkened, "Then
"I've never heard of it." Su Daji picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and seemed to think of something, and said slowly, "The new peony alchemist, he brought a kind of flower whose petals are getting redder from the inside to the outside. Peony seems to be called Xia Shangshuang. But I heard there are only five of them."
"In this way, this rosy glow is very precious." Li Bai chuckled lightly. Where did such a precious flower, a little dancing girl, come from?
"I heard that someone once heard the wailing sound of the demon seed from the mansion of the peony alchemist at night." Su Daji put the silk flower on her head, and her silky eyes were full of water.
"It's just a rumor, Daji doesn't have to worry about it." He comforted, "If it really happened to me to abuse the demon species, Li will definitely kill him."
"Pfft." Daji was amused by him, "There are so many ugly things in the world, and how many people are involved. How can we kill them all? Wouldn't it be best if they could be influenced?"
"That's right, what Li did was rude." Li Bai laughed.
"However, if you think about it carefully, it's really something you would say. After all, you are a sword fairy who can kill a person in ten steps, and never stay behind for a thousand miles." She smiled slightly, revealing her sweet dimples.
"Sword Immortal." He chewed these two words, "It's a pity that he only inherited the title of Master."
Su Daji looked up at him, thinking that it was rare to see him like this, and was about to speak, so she listened to him speak slowly.
"But one day, I will make the name of Sword Immortal known all over the world because of me!" He stood up, reflecting the whole Chang'an spring in his eyes.
No, it's not Chang'an's spring, it's his youth, it's his youth that burns like a flame.
Su Daji looked at him and stayed for a long time: "If it were you, I would definitely succeed."
Not for any reason, just because of his inherent self-confidence and arrogance.
"There's still something to do in Lefang, I'll go back first." Daji got up to leave, opened her umbrella, and her figure melted into the mist and rain.
Li Bai saw that Su Da had already left, and he had nothing to do here, so he got up, ready to go to Mrs. Lu's wine shop to get the jug.
He never brought an umbrella, his brown hair was wet by the raindrops, he stepped on the bluestone slabs wet by the drizzle, and a few spring breeze caressed his cheeks, and he felt a little relaxed.
He simply walked along, not caring about the assassination, not caring about the jug, just wanting to appreciate the comfort.
As he was walking, he unexpectedly came to the gate of the Imperial Envoy's Mansion, and it happened that Di Renjie walked out right in the middle.
"Lord Di." Li Bai bowed to him, and slipped under his umbrella like a loach, "Do you mind if you take shelter from the rain?"
"I don't mind." Di Renjie exhaled, the two black spots under his eyes were particularly eye-catching.
"Master Di has been busy with official duties recently." Li Bai teased him.
Di Renjie ignored his teasing, and instead said: "Are you investigating that case?"
"Yeah." Although he didn't say it clearly, Li Bai knew what he was talking about, "Actually, it's not really a check, it's just a matter of paying attention."
"There's a lot involved in this case." Di Renjie turned his head and looked at him, "I advise you not to get involved."
"Why?" Li Bai became interested after saying this.
"Maybe there are more involved, maybe someone in the court is supporting those people behind their backs." He paused, "Even the demons are involved."
Li Bai was pondering the meaning of his words, Di Renjie patted him on the shoulder: "Here we are."
As soon as Li Bai raised his head, the words Lu's aged wine came into view. He thanked him and entered the door.
Aunt Lu brought him a towel to wipe off the rain on his body, and prepared a dry shirt for him to change into.
Li Bai put everything behind his head and didn't think about it.
He felt dizzy, so he lay down in the room and fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already evening, the rain had stopped, and even the afterglow of the setting sun could be seen in the sky.
He leaned on the railing, looked at the pedestrians on Zhuque Street, and couldn't stop thinking about what Daji and Di Renjie said.
It has something to do with the people in the court, and with the demon species. Su Daji also said that there has never been a dancer like Gongsunli in the music workshop.
The wails of demons were heard in Ming Shiyin's mansion, and he loved peonies very much.
At that time, although the surprise attack was aimed at Gongsunli on the surface, she was not injured at all, and it was ordinary people who were injured.
All this made Li Bai have a bad guess that the surprise attack that day was just a farce directed and acted by himself.
Thinking of this, he immediately raised his sword, took the jug, and ran towards the Magic Dance Band.
-
"My good sister, I've worked hard for you these few days." A Li was talking and laughing with the dancing girl beside him while packing his things.
The dancing girl smiled slightly: "Ah Li has been recuperating at home for the past few days - the gang of thieves did not know what is good or bad yesterday! How dare they go to Chang'an to make trouble!"
Ah Li finished packing his things, put his bag on his back, and said, "Sister, be careful these few days."
"Yes." The dancer escorted her out of the Magic Dance Band, and then went back to her room.
The sky has completely darkened and there is no moon.
Ah Li turned into a deserted alley, stopped his light steps, clenched the paper umbrella in his hand and said, "Young Master has been following you for a while, why don't you come out and talk?"
Li Bai came out from the darkness: "It's a pity that the girl has such a sensitive hearing, but she is just a dancing girl."
Li Bai's qinggong is very good, she has already reached the point where she can walk without a trace, and she can feel that the person following him must be someone who has practiced martial arts since childhood, how can she reach such a level as a dancer?
"So it's Li Shaoxia." Gongsunli heaved a sigh of relief, "What's the matter with Li Shaoxia?"
"I'm just confused about something and want to ask Miss." Li Bai smiled, "Who gave Miss Xia Shangshuang, such a beautiful flower, I also want to ask for one."
"It's just rewards from officials and merchants, and it's not a rare thing." Gongsunli said with a smile, "If you want it, my lord, I will give you this flower."
"No need." Li Bai's doubts grew stronger.
There are only five flowers, how precious is it?If it has nothing to do with it, how can you enjoy the fireworks in Liuxiang casually?
"Li is such a rough man, the peony is ruined in my hands, it is more beautiful in the girl's hair." Li Bai looked at the bag on her shoulder, and said slowly, "Where is the girl going?"
"When I encountered something like that yesterday, I was always scared. Go home and recuperate for a few days."
"Is the girl really from the Magic Dance Band?" Li Bai asked, "I am an old friend with the owner of the band, and she seems to have no impression of you."
"Fangzhu is busy every day, and it is normal that I don't remember my little dancer."
"That girl's martial arts is—"
"Li Shaoxia!" Gongsunli interrupted him, "Say what you have to say!"
"That's very good." He rubbed his fingers against the hilt of the sword, "What's the relationship between you and Peony Alchemist? What's your purpose?"
"I have nothing to say to you, A Li!" She sighed, and her suspicions really came to her, "I advise you not to ask any more questions, the things involved here are not something you can get involved in."
"If that's the case, it's offended!" Li Bai pulled out Longquan instantly, took a step forward, and the sword energy came straight towards Gongsunli.
Gongsunli threw out the paper umbrella, resisted the sword energy, a flicker appeared in front of Li Bai, and hit Li Bai's chest with his palm.
Li Bai grabbed her wrist and clasped it with his backhand. Gongsunli summoned a paper umbrella with his right hand and threw it at Li Bai.
Li Bai had just avoided the paper umbrella, and seeing her pull away, he jumped into the air, and the sword in his hand turned into several phantoms, running towards Gongsunli.
Gongsunli couldn't dodge in time, his arm was scratched by the sword shadow, and he happened to step on a stone, fell to the ground and twisted his foot.
"Li Shaoxia bullying a weak woman is really majestic!" A male voice came out accompanied by a spear.
Li Bai hurriedly picked up his sword and caught the spear.
Without the moonlight, he couldn't see the opponent's face clearly. He only felt that the opponent's marksmanship was meticulous and his movements were smooth and smooth, so he might be a difficult character.
([-]) Dispelling clouds and mist to float on the water
Li Baifei got on the roof, and the opponent followed closely. With a spear stab, Li Bai dodged sideways, but the opponent immediately turned to sweep.
Li Bai's reaction was also extremely fast, he tiptoed to the ground, soared into the air, stepped on his gun, and Longquan thrust forward in his hand, straight towards the opponent's forehead.
The man on the opposite side sent the spear in his hand upwards, while he bent down and passed Longquan.
Li Bai jumped down from the spear, and fired several bursts of sword energy forward, pressing straight towards the opponent. This is a move he created himself called "Four Sides Song".
He quickly received another "White Rainbow Piercing the Sun", and Longquan hit the opponent's heart directly, with a turbulent and majestic momentum.
The man on the other side was not in a hurry, he lightly stretched his ape arm and pressed Li Bai's wrist, the spear passed through his side, blocking the white rainbow piercing the sun, and quickly turned down again, turning from defense to attack.
Li Bai couldn't cry, he retracted the Longquan, made a feint, turned over and fell to the ground again.
The man on the opposite side followed closely behind, shot away the snake, and wrestled with him.
Gongsunli was standing beside him, sweating anxiously, she knew that Li Bai was not a fellow of the red killers, she definitely didn't want to see him fight with Han Xin, but she was injured just now, and she didn't know what to do at this moment.
"stop."
Li Bai recognized the cold female voice, but it was much weaker than yesterday.
Zixia staggered out from the shadows. She took off her flowing fairy dress, a black night clothes, and her long hair tied into a ponytail.
Li Bai saw that there were many knife marks on her clothes, her face was disheveled, and she was in a panic, so she hurriedly stopped, presumably for some reason, so she put away the sword.
Seeing that he had no intention of fighting again, the opponent stopped attacking.
Zixia covered the bleeding wound on her arm, and said softly: "Li Bai, you were deceived by Master Su."
Li Bai was shocked when he heard the words, and Fang was about to ask in detail, but Zixia's footsteps swayed, and she was about to faint, so he quickly caught her.
"If Li Shaoxia is willing, Ah Li can tell you everything he knows." Gongsunli said suddenly, "Why don't you come to my house and give this sister a place to rest, okay?"
Li Bai wanted to come to Aunt Lu's house which was quite far away, and he did have many questions to ask Gongsunli, since the girl was willing, he naturally agreed.
Gongsun is really not far from home, and he arrived after a short walk.
Li Bai looked up at the house. Although the mansion was not big, it was exquisite.No matter how you look at it, it is not something that the dancing girl can afford, so she couldn't help asking: "Who the hell is the girl? I can't believe that she is really a dancing girl with such skill and this kind of mansion."
"Yaotian, Gongsunli." She was dealing with the scratches on her arm, "I have nothing to say about the organization."
"Hmm..." Li Bai responded, looking back at Zixia who was lying on the bed—she didn't seem to want to wake up yet.
Su Daji has known him for more than two years, so she probably wouldn't lie to him, but after thinking about it carefully, there are many doubts.
According to Zixia, she had been tracking that group of people for more than a few months, and at that time she chose to help Gongsunli, which meant that according to the information she had, Gongsunli would not be with those people.
Looking at Gongsunli's appearance now, it doesn't seem to be half hidden, but it shows a clear conscience.
Di Renjie said that these people were related to the people in court, but he didn't say it was Ming Shiyin.
His actions just now were too arbitrary.
"Here's the medicine for sores." The voice of the man with the gun interrupted his thoughts.
Looking back, I saw a red ponytail in the flickering candlelight.
The man handed Ah Li a bottle, walked to his side, stretched out his hand with the golden sore medicine in his hand.
"Maybe you don't need it, but that girl definitely needs it." As if afraid of his misunderstanding, the red-haired man added.
Li Bai took the medicine in a fog.I heard the man say, "I'm under Han Xin."
He replied: "Li Bai"
"I've heard about you for a long time." The man on the other side smiled and said respectful words, but his face was full of sarcasm and seven of indifference.
"Aren't you going to help that girl apply the medicine? It's not easy to change the clothes if the wound is scabbed." Han Xin looked at the pale Zixia, and at Li Bai who was staring at the medicine, he couldn't help but said.
Hearing this, Li Bai was a little helpless: "I have known that girl not long ago, if I help her change her medicine, wouldn't that ruin the girl's innocence?"
"So you don't know her well?" Han Xin raised his forehead, God knows how he could see his familiarity and trust in Li Bai from Zixia's eyes in such a dark night.
"For this kind of thing, Ah Li should do it." Gongsun Li obviously heard their conversation, opened the bead curtain, sat by the bed, and took the golden sore medicine from Li Bai.
Li Bai got up and walked out of the house. The night was already extremely dense. A dark blue curtain shrouded the sky above Chang'an City, and the distant sky was still slightly red. He found two stars from the clouds and stared at them in a daze.
Han Xin then also came out, staring at Li Bai's profile.
"Master Sword Immortal has always been afraid of trouble, why did he take care of such things today." Seeing Li Bai's tired face, he teased him, "You still made yourself into such a mess?"
"You care about me?" Li Bai rolled his eyes. He is in an extremely bad mood and his thoughts are extremely confused, so he is too lazy to argue with Han Xin.
"Li Shaoxia, that girl woke up and said she wants to see you." Gongsunli walked slowly with lotus steps.
"Oh." He answered and entered the door.
(End of this chapter)
One - "Dependent Origin"
"Yao Xiacang, what are you doing hitting me!" Li Bai covered his head and glared at the girl standing in front of him.
"It's Jian Jia." She said calmly, "Quickly memorize it, don't delay any longer."
"I know, I know." Li Bai muttered, before reading a few words, he said again: "Hey, if I remember it, can I learn swords?"
"I don't know."
"Then why should I memorize it!" He was discouraged, and pushed the "Three Hundred Poems" away from his hand.
Zixia glanced at him, and said quietly: "But if you don't remember, the matter of learning swords will be gone."
Li Bai sighed, picked up the "Three Hundred Poems" that he had pushed to the ground, and memorized it again, shaking his head.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of her straight back and the purple and blue sword at her waist.
In fact, Li Bai endorsed very quickly, and he has an extraordinary talent for literature. He is indeed a genius of heaven.After a while, he remembered it—unfortunately, he didn't care about it.
I closed the book and went to find my master, but I heard my father's voice.
"This kid, Ah Bai, has excellent bones. If he learns swordsmanship, he must be a master of the generation." Through the sky-blue soft smoke screen, he keenly caught the approval in his master's eyes.
Li Bai's heart suddenly surged with joy, and he rubbed his head against the window screen involuntarily.
"But the master also knows, Abai's mother." Li Ke paused, lowered his head and sighed, "If you learn swords and are controlled by hostility, wouldn't it cause endless harm?"
"That's true, let Ah Bai learn poetry with peace of mind - Miss Ah Zi is also very talented in swordsmanship." The master sighed softly, agreeing with Li Ke's point of view.
"Eavesdropping?"
Li Bai was immersed in anger and resignation, and when he heard the familiar tone, he became even more angry. Presumably, his father and wife knew about it, so they pushed the door open and walked in, loudly saying, "Why?"
Seeing that his face was full of sullenness, Zixia thought it was because she was learning swords, so she didn't get angry with him.
"Father." Li Bai said angrily, "Why is it that I can't learn swordsmanship? Didn't Master say that, do I have talent?!"
"I've also said that you are unwell!" Li Ke said in a deep voice.
"Discomfort?" Li Bai's shoulders trembled: "What about Zixia? Is she suitable?!"
Zixia was standing aside and listening. When she heard her name, she turned her head, her eyes filled with confusion and surprise.
"Don't pretend I don't know, Zixia's family members are dead! She won't have demons when she learns swords? Doesn't she have hostility? She doesn't think about revenge?!" Li Bai roared loudly, unaware that Zixia Xia's face was already pale.
"Li Bai!" Li Ke slapped the table, and the blue and white porcelain cup was knocked over, fell to the ground and fell to pieces.His whole face was flushed with anger, and his gray and black beard was up and down.His voice was also trembling: "As far as what you said just now, don't even think about learning swords!"
Before he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves fiercely and went out the door.
The master also shook his head again and again, and followed Li Ke out the door.
Li Bai held back his tears, gritted his teeth, and turned his head fiercely, only to see Zixia still standing there blankly, shouting: "What are you still watching here?! Watching jokes?"
Zixia didn't move, but her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her face was extremely pale, her lips also lost blood color, which was extremely frightening, and those bright but sad eyes were also out of focus.
Li Baifang felt something was wrong, he was stunned, and quickly shook his hand in front of her eyes - but she still didn't respond.
"Zixia?" His voice was very soft, tentatively.
, Zixia's eyes moved slightly, the Ziqing sword in her hand was unsheathed in an instant, and lay across Li Bai's neck, but she stopped for a moment when she was about to cut it off, her hand was shaking violently, her fingertips were too hard, Everything is green.
Li Bai was startled,
Zixia is only 11 years old, and because of the ups and downs since she was a child, she is extremely thin.She held the sword that didn't match her stature, which made her look extremely funny.
"Get lost," her voice trembled, with a crying tone at the end.
"what happened to you?"
"roll!"
In Li Bai's video, Zixia always speaks without tone, always indifferent, just like Baishui, but these two times today can be said to be the most emotional words he has ever heard, she uttered.
He is indeed a genius at learning swords. He felt a strong killing intent at the moment Zixia drew his sword. Although it was only a moment, it was very strong.
Such a strong killing intent, if she hadn't suppressed it by herself, he would have been in danger this time.
So Li Bai didn't ask any more questions, the wind was blowing under his feet, and he ran quickly.
The scenes in her mind haunted her like a nightmare, and she refused to let her escape. She was only an 11-year-old child, and she didn't have a heart as firm as a rock, nor was she as powerful as a weapon.
So she chose to escape again, and quickly touched the body with her little hand, sealed the acupuncture point, collapsed on the ground, and fell into a coma.
Fortunately, after Li Bai escaped, he immediately called his master, so that Zixia would not breed demons.
When the master comes.What came into view was the thin little girl curled up on the ground, her face was still stained with tears, her brows were still frowning, there were two blood holes on her lips, and the purple and green sword was thrown aside, separated from the scabbard.
He sighed, helped the girl up, released the acupuncture points, carried her on his back, took the Ziqing sword from Li Bai, and inserted it into the scabbard.He sighed, "Ah Bai, if you can control yourself and not hurt others like her, then you can learn swordsmanship."
Li Bai just wanted to refute, but suddenly remembered that Zixia became like this today, isn't it because of his few words?So he was still hurting others, so was his mother, and so was Zixia.
"If she couldn't control her killing intent at that time, you probably wouldn't have seen me." The master rubbed Zanzhu, "Controlling your own heart is the most difficult thing. So she is a genius, no, she is one of the geniuses. In terms of talent, you are on par with her, or even better than her, but in terms of character, you are far behind her."
These words were also words from the bottom of his heart. After hearing this, Li Bai felt a little more guilt in his heart. He lowered his head and thought about it all the way.Just as Master put Zixia on the bed and was about to leave, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Master, after I can control my mind, can I learn swords?"
The master did not stop, nor did he look back, but gave him an affirmative answer:
"can."
Li Bai was overjoyed, looked back at Zixia, helped her tuck up the quilt, and whispered softly in his ear: "I'm sorry, but thank you."
Afterwards, the war was raging, the wolf smoked everywhere, hunched over, and his supporters were dying, Li Ke took him around to escape the disaster, and lost contact with his master and Ah Zi.
Li Ke was originally a literati. He was seriously ill and died when Li Bai was 13 years old. Li Bai was alone and studied everywhere. Later, he became seriously ill and lost one foot and stepped into the gate of hell. By chance, I met Pei Min, who was the number one swordsman in the Tang Dynasty. Seeing that he was a rare good seedling and an orphan, he was pitiful and happy, so he cured his illness and took Li Bai as his apprentice.
The green screen deeply surrounds the courtyard, Li Bai makes every move in spring, invites the wind and moon with three cups and two cups in summer, sweeps the fallen leaves under the blade in autumn, and condenses snow on the sword in winter, under the shadow of the sword under the light of the sword, he has practiced for several years in spring and autumn .
Because of his illness, his skeleton was a little thinner than that of ordinary men, and his appearance was natural and good-looking. When he was young, he was always mistaken for a woman and suffered a lot of molestation, so Li Bai cut his hair short...
Because of that serious illness, everything about my childhood was eroded and blurred by the wind on the murals of my memory.But it was a blessing for him.
Without memory, there is also no hatred. Following a person like Pei Min who is aloof and refined, he also has a casualness of idle clouds and wild cranes.
Zixia touched the ground with her toes, and jumped forward quickly, like a swift skipping quickly.The sword was unsheathed, and in a flash of cold light, she was already in front of Li Bai.
Her steps are not big, but extremely fast, floating like clouds, but her feet are extremely steady. Li Bai turned sideways slightly, avoiding the sword light, and drew Longquan from his waist to hold the cold light that was coming towards her.
When the two swords collided, there was the sound of broken jade calmly, which made Zixia's tiger's mouth hurt.
Zixia learned from Master Lu, who is a gentle gentleman, every move is as gentle as a spring breeze passing over a green bamboo, and she pays attention to a soft energy.Zixia is naturally sensitive, so the master deliberately asked her to pursue speed and accuracy. Zixia inadvertently ignored the importance of "ruthless".
Zixia leaned to the right, avoiding direct contact, put her right foot on the ground, and swept her left leg.Seeing her turn sideways, Li Bai had already expected her purpose. He tiptoed to the ground, jumped into the air, grabbed the pear branch with one hand, and kicked Zixia's waist with both feet.
With the strength of sweeping her leg, Zixia quickly shifted her weight to her left leg, put her hands on the ground, and dodged Li Bai's attack.The waist suddenly exerted force, the legs spun into the air, the body bent into a strange arc, and kicked towards Li Bai.
"Young lady can also practice jujitsu?" Li Bai didn't have time to react, so he got kicked hard.
"I have nothing to say to the shameless." Zixia ignored him, and stood up straight with a somersault.
Li Bai still wanted to say something, but Ziqing Baojian attacked him head-on and face-to-face.
This time it's not the body, but the hand holding the branch?Attacking directly at the support point is ruthless—unfortunately, it is still a little tender.
Li Bai clung to the trunk, as if swinging on a swing, and stood on the branch with a somersault, just avoiding the sword light.
"Little girl, I'm not—ah!" Before he could finish speaking, Li Zhi trembled violently, his center of gravity was unstable, and he almost fell, but he still landed gracefully with his powerful lightness kung fu.
"It turns out that the girl didn't want to chop off my hand, but this pear tree." The smile on Li Bai's face was no longer loose, and he was a little more appreciative.
"Although I hate you, I won't destroy your hand." Zixia stared at him with a serious expression.
"Pfft." Li Bai couldn't help laughing. Firstly, he thought that the girl was unexpected when he chopped down the tree. How could he know that it was for this reason? Secondly, he was after all a disciple of Pei Min, so how could he end up being chopped down? hand?
"Then Li is really thankful, girl!" Li Bai laughed, the alcohol had already turned into sweat during the fight just now, and he was sober. He stretched, walked past Zixia, and gently returned the white jade hairpin. With her hair in a bun, she said loudly: "I Li Bai, I don't mean to offend, I hope the girl will not blame me."
After finishing speaking, Li Bai picked up the pear blossoms he had just folded and walked towards the city.
"Li... Bai..." Zixia's eyes moved slightly, she turned around abruptly, and shouted: "Li Bai!"
"Huh?" Li Bai turned around slowly.
Her eyes were burning, and she was staring at his face - she really hadn't noticed this man's face just now.Long sword eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, the corners of the eyebrows and eyes are full of arrogance; hanging gall nose, upturned lips, voice and smile are all unruly.
But he still didn't recognize me...
"Nothing." She concealed the longing in her eyes, "Little girl Zixia."
([-]) Half into the river and half into the clouds
Dusk falls, and the crescent moon hangs on the treetops.
Li Bai carried a half-jug of freshly made wine and wandered into the Magic Dance Band.
The peonies on the wooden stand are exquisitely carved, and there is a blue and white porcelain vase on the side of the stand. Inside the vase is a bunch of white pears.Li Bai stepped on the vermilion wood floor and walked into the garden.
Although the Magic Dance Band is a place where dancing girls and singers live, the layout and decoration exudes an elegant charm without any trace of heavy makeup.
The girls in the workshop are not only beautiful, but also amazingly talented.The songs played are all penetrating, and all the dances are full of affection.
Li Bai is not keen on rhythm, but there is free tea and wine here every night.Li Bai also became a frequent visitor of Magic Dance Band.
"Hey, Lord Sword Immortal is here again!" When the waiter saw Li Bai, he approached him with a playful smile, "What kind of wine does Lord Sword Immortal want to drink today?"
Li Baibai glanced at him and shook the wine gourd on his phone: "I'm not going to drink wine today, Lord Bai, I have my own good wine."
The man stared at the wine gourd for a long while, then turned his forehead: "I remember! Isn't this the jug of Mrs. Lu's house? Mrs. Sword Immortal was beaten by Mrs. Lu when she went to steal wine last time—tsk tsk, then Call it a horrible sight!"
"Go, go, go, do your work, Lord Bai, I don't care about you." Li Bai was not annoyed, he flicked the boy's head, and sent him over.
I went straight to the Eight Immortals table in the corner and sat alone.
Li Bai was old friends with the owner of the Huanwu Orchestra, and they often came to the music workshop to eat, drink, and live.
After going back and forth, Li Bai became acquainted with that young man.At the beginning, the boy only thought of how weird the sword fairy would be, but after a long time, he realized that the sword fairy is very good, and it is not a problem to make fun of the sword fairy on weekdays.
Li Bai took a sip of his wine, squinted his eyes and looked at the stage. Behind the bead curtains, there were layers of veils and gauze shadows, which looked like evening clouds from a distance.
Xia...Zixia...that girl is also called Zixia today, but her cold appearance is not as bright as sunset.
Surrounded by veils, there is a golden round stage, and a few maple leaves are embroidered on the curtain behind the stage, which can be seen by a lone bird.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp, Mulan is weaving at home." A soft female voice sounded, and the noisy hall fell silent for a moment.
"Today, the story to be played is the story of Hua Mulan, the current general of Zhenxi."
The candles in the room were extinguished, and the stage slowly lit up.The sound of clank and pipa came from my ears.
Gently tap and wipe slowly, and then slowly change the speed, playing the urgency and heroism of killing the enemy outside the Great Wall.
The red candle on the stage was lit, and a thin woman stood holding a sword.Dancing with the pipa, the two swords in her hands danced vigorously, without any weakness, and heard her sing slowly: "It's rare to be alone, Mulan used to be a girl."
Li Bai marveled inwardly, this girl looks like she is only in the age of cardamom, but she is so proficient in technique, her voice is mellow and the end tune is long, it seems she is very talented.While he was sighing to himself, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a lavender clothes corner.
"Zixia?" Li Bai frowned incredulously, and said to himself, "Why is she here?"
Li Bai thought there was some reason, so he quietly followed behind Zixia.
She frowned slightly, looking left and right, as if she was looking for something, but also seemed to be avoiding something.
"Ah!!!" The ear-piercing scream resounded through the sky above the orchestra.
There was a commotion in the band hall soon, cursing, crying, and screaming mixed together.People crowded people, people trampled people.
Li Bai frowned, covered his ears, and secretly sighed that the voices of these girls were loud enough, sharp and thin, almost piercing people's eardrums.
"Everyone, calm down! Calm down!" the "Mulan" just now shouted loudly.
Li Bai rubbed the Cuanzhu acupoint, thinking to himself, how can your words be overwhelmed by all the screams...
Suddenly, Zixia drew out her sword.
Li Bai hurriedly grabbed her, and made a silent gesture to her.
"Don't act rashly." He leaned close to her ear and whispered.
Zixia hesitated for a while, then put the sword back into the scabbard.
"Everyone be quiet!" "Mulan" on the stage was still trying to shout, and the folks in the band also worked hard to maintain order and try to appease the rioting crowd.
At this moment, several men in black jumped down from the roof and rushed straight to "Mulan".
That girl is indeed a martial artist, she threw a paper umbrella in her arms and instantly swept it away.Her figure suddenly disappeared from the stage, and appeared at the paper umbrella in an instant.
At this moment, a little girl was squeezed by the crowd and was about to fall, and was about to hit Bai Sensen's blade. "Hua Mulan" quickly pulled the girl over, stabbed the paper umbrella, and threw the blade away.
A hidden arrow flew from the side.
Li Bai screamed in his heart, the girl was still protecting the little girl in her hands, how could she escape!
"Tsk."
Hearing Zixia beside him sigh secretly, Li Bai broke away from his hand, and the Ziqing sword in his hand flew out, cutting off the hidden arrow.
Then he flew down the stands lightly on his toes, landed gracefully, and stood in front of "Mulan".
In this way, the target is exposed!Li Bai supported the forehead, the enemy is dark and we are clear, and he exposed his position, so how to investigate thoroughly?He also pushed himself into the center of the storm.
The moment she landed, arrows poured out from all directions and shot at the two of them.
Zixia kept holding the sword flower, and flicked the scissors away. "Hua Mulan" also quickly twirled the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, but there were so many people, the efforts of the two of them were like a drop in the bucket, how could they protect so many helpless spectators? !
Li Bai sighed, "That's all."
After finishing speaking, he flew forward, and the Longquan sword in his hand transformed into countless sword shadows, flying towards the source of the hidden arrow.
Sure enough, the sword rain stopped.He retracted his sword and jumped down from the stands.
"My little girl, Gongsunli, thank you so much for saving my life." Hua Mulan bowed profusely.
"Miss Gongsun, do you know who is responsible for such a murderous act?" Li Bai saw that the crowd had successfully evacuated and Di Renjie had also arrived at the scene, so he had no worries, so he asked.
"This... A Li doesn't know." The girl took off her helmet, revealing a pair of cute rabbit ears.
Li Bai expected to answer like this without asking too much, and said softly: "That's it." Whether he believed it or not was different in his heart.
"So...Li Shaoxia doesn't know what I'm going to do just now?" Zixia frowned when she heard this.
"I originally hoped that the girl would not expose her target and set herself on fire." Li Bai quickly explained.
"..." Zixia was silent.
"You know, I have tracked down the group of people who attacked just now for more than a month, and just now is the best chance." Zixia was a little annoyed.
"This..." Li Bai 囧, his voice became a little softer, "I just want to help you."
"That's it."
"Several, please come with me." Di Renjie showed his token, and Li Bai felt that his coming was very timely.
"Meet you again, Mr. Di." Li Bai saw this ingenious hairstyle with black and green, and couldn't help but think of the "good" time when he was chased all over the place by tokens.
"Master Sword Immortal." Di Renjie cupped his hands symbolically, "It's true that you are responsible for all violations of law and discipline."
"That is, in order to maintain the peace of Chang'an City, ensure the happy life of the residents of Chang'an City, and defeat the evil forces, Li is obliged to do so." Li Bai said righteously, with an extremely serious expression.
"I believe you ghost..."
([-]) Delicate flowers are staggered and the clouds are covered with frost
When Di Renjie finished inspecting the music workshop, it was already late at night, so he had to wait until the next morning to ask the three of them again.
The next day, Li Bai told Di Renjie what had happened. Di Renjie saw that there was nothing suspicious, so he let him go back.
When I came out, I just met Gongsunli.
"Young Master Li." Gongsun Li bowed slightly and saluted.
"Miss Gongsun." Li Bai returned the salute, and secretly looked at the girl in front of him: she had taken off her costume and was wearing a maple-red dance dress. Her long beige hair was loosely tied in a bun, and under the bun was a pink peony.
"The peonies on the girl's head are very cute. Miss Dai's head really corresponds to the saying 'flowers match beauty'. Flowers have no aura, but I see that this peony is also very lively because of the girl's pretty face." Li Bai chatted. road.
Gongsunli smiled shyly: "Peony is a beautiful country, A Li is just a dancer, how can it match the grace and luxury of Peony? The young hero praised it absurdly."
"It's just that Li has always studied peonies. Looking at this flower on the girl's head today, the petals are from the inside to the outside, and the color is more gorgeous. The outermost petals are pink, and the innermost ones are white. Li really Never seen."
"This flower is called Xiashangshuang." A Li replied, "I think it is a new variety cultivated by flower lovers."
"Xia Shangshuang...a good name and a good fate!" Li Bai laughed. Isn't this peach red the same as Xia, and this whiteness is not the same as Shuang?The three characters "Xia Shangshuang" could not be more vivid.
"There is still something to do in the dance workshop, so the little girl will not accompany you. Let me go." A Li cupped his hands and walked away on lotus steps.
Li Bai said goodbye to Gongsunli and walked aimlessly on the bustling Zhuque Street.
There are four main streets in Chang'an City, Qinglong Street in the east, Baihu Street in the west, Zhuque Street in the south, and Xuanwu Street in the north.
Most of the people living on Suzaku Street are rich and wealthy merchants, and the flow of people is huge. It is even more prosperous than Qinglong Street where officials gather. It is the most prosperous of the four streets.
Li Bai liked the aged wine from Mrs. Lu's house on Zhuque Street very much. Mrs. Lu's son died in the turmoil six years ago, and her son was about the same age as Li Bai, so Mrs. Lu treated Li Bai as her own son.
As for stealing alcohol.Lady Lu was worried about Li Bai's health, so naturally she didn't allow him to drink too much, and Li Bai was an alcoholic, so she made a fuss.
"Young master, your jug."
Li Bai suddenly heard a male voice as gentle as snow calling him, it turned out that he was only busy walking, and the wine pot on his waist fell off at some point.
"Ah - thank you, little brother." Li Bai took the jug and looked at the young man in front of him.
The young man was very good-looking, with a clean and elegant aura, and his clothes were indifferent and refined, but they were white and blue. The patterns on his clothes seemed to be dyed with ink, adding a touch of bookishness.
"This little brother is playing chess?" Li Bai looked to the front and behind him, under the luxuriant sycamore tree, there were cold and warm jade chess pieces.
"That's right, it's just that no one is playing chess with me, so I can only arrange my own positions to pass the time." The young man smiled, with two dimples showing on his white chin.
"Why don't I play a game of chess with the young master?"
"This is the most wonderful thing - please, sir."
Li Bai is not a person who loves chess, but he just has a little understanding. Today, he played against someone who loves chess, and he was defeated very quickly.
"I lost." Li Bai smiled.
"My lord, let me go." The young man smiled modestly and tidied up the chessboard.
"Xia Shanshuang." Li Bai looked at the peonies in the jade vase on the table and read.
"My lord, do you know this flower?" The young man paused his hands arranging the chessboard, and looked at him in surprise.
"I also met by chance." He got up and took two sips of wine, "Little brother, are we destined to meet again?"
"I will live here forever. If you want to discuss chess with me, Yi Xing is welcome at any time." The young man got up and waved goodbye to him.
Li Bai strolled around and arrived in front of Mrs. Lu's wine shop.
"Aunt Lu." He knocked on the door.
"Here we come." Mrs. Lu wiped her hands quickly and walked over.
"Is business okay today?" Li Bai asked casually as he entered the door.
"When the spring is cold, a few glasses of thin wine are a good choice to warm your bones. How can business be bad?" Mrs. Lu boiled a cup of wine for him and handed it to him, "It's still cold at the end of February, so don't drink it. Too much cold wine."
"Okay." Li Bai took the wine glass obediently.
"Hey, Aunt Lu, what's growing in that blue and white porcelain pot?" Li Bai suddenly saw a pot of unknown creatures in front of the counter at some point—grey, green, and ugly.
"Peony!" Aunt Lu replied, "It will bloom this year, and mine is a rare and precious purple."
"Peony...isn't it blooming?"
"You child, are you confused by drinking? Peonies are so delicate, how can you bear this kind of weather?" Mrs. Lu smiled and patted his head.
"What month does the peony bloom?"
"April to May." Madam Lu thought for a while and added, "Your Uncle Lu is a gardener, that's what he said."
"Is there a kind of peony whose petals are getting lighter and lighter from the outside to the inside, the outermost layer is pink, but the innermost layer is white?" Li Bai asked eagerly.
"This... I've never heard of this—ah, by the way, the peony alchemists on Qinglong Street brought many strange peonies, which bloom all year round."
The more Li Bai listened, the more confused he became. The dancer, the chess player, and the peony alchemist, three people with completely different identities, seemed to have some secret connection.
"Aunt Lu, let me go out!" Li Bai suddenly stood up and rushed out the door, even forgetting to take the wine gourd.
"This child, why are you in a hurry." Lady Lu shook her head while putting away Li Bai's jug.
([-]) Violence rose at the end of more than [-] years
However, Li and Hu's expressions suddenly changed. Both of them are of mixed blood of the demon species, and the fear of the word "red killer" has long been engraved in their bones.
Red refers to the demon species. The so-called red killers are a group of extreme demon hunters and believers in gods. Facing the increasingly relaxed relationship between humans and demons, a small number of people no longer treat demons. With prejudice, more people began to try to accept the demon seed.But this group of people, they fanatically believe in the God of Creation, and they don't want to let the "humble" demons be liberated. They think that slaves will always be slaves.
And in the face of this world that cherishes peace more and more, they are angry-why can their beliefs be discarded so easily?Why should all their efforts to eradicate the demon species and completely enslave the demon species be ruined?They are not reconciled!So they want to take revenge, take revenge on those monsters, and take revenge on those who are willing to accept the monsters!
Thus, the Scarlet Killer was born. He may come at a certain night and take away the life of the demons and the hybrids of the demons. They also developed the potion that the demons are most afraid of - demon hunting water.
They would sprinkle the witch hunting water on the sleeping face of the beautiful half-breed girl, and then watch her writhing, covering her face, crying, shouting, seeing every inch of her snow-white flesh and jade bones with her own eyes. Rotten before him!Watch a vivid life disappear in the silent night with your own eyes!
Even later, they didn't even spare people who were close to the mixed blood of the demon species. Those people were regarded as "betrayers of mankind" by them, so those people were "justly" and "awe-inspiringly" sentenced to death.
This force is like a black wind that once swept across the entire Continent of Kings.
Until 43 years ago, the Messengers of Peace came together towards a common dream - equality.
They were born to die, and the red killers were wiped out, but most of the warriors fell.
In the end, the tragic struggle of the fallen stars was just a few strokes of the historian, so it was revealed.At that time, the blood and tears, fighting spirit and ideals were no longer mentioned-in the final analysis, it was still the damn superiority in the bones of the human race, and they were noncommittal about the justice of this war.
Even though they already understood the difficulty of peace, deep down in their hearts, the sense of superiority buried deep in the roots of the thought tree made them ignore this war for equality.
As a result, the activities of the Red Killers stopped for 43 years.
The long period of silence and the few words in the historical materials have made people forget that there was once a bloodthirsty organization that almost shattered the peace earned by generations of hard work by itself.
"Is that the group of people this morning..." The light in Ah Li's onyx-colored pupils dimmed.
"Yes." Ming Shiyin affirmed: "Your profession needs to show your face frequently, and today is a hard time for you."
"It doesn't matter to me, it's just those helpless spectators..." Gongsunli sighed.
"Boss, Lord Sword Immortal..." Pei Qinhu approached Peony Way, his eyes full of questions.
"If he doesn't overstep, we won't bother him." Ming Shiyin naturally knew what Pei Qinhu was thinking, his fingers caressed the gorgeous petals, "Tiger, today you let Li Bai go without authorization, you violated discipline and should be punished. "
"Pei Qinhu, accept the punishment." Hearing this, Pei Qinhu tapped on one knee.
"I'll punish you for cultivating this rosy cloud." Ming Shiyin smiled slightly, with a trace of teasing in his eyes, "If it doesn't bloom, don't even think about eating meat."
"Pfft..." Yi Xing couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.
"Yuhuan." Ming Shiyin glanced at Yi Xing, and then focused on Yang Yuhuan, "You had the chance to stop Pei Qinhu, but you turned a blind eye. You should be punished."
"collar."
"At noon tomorrow, prepare tea at Yushui Pavilion." Ming Shiyin put the tea bag in Yang Yuhuan's palm, but did not explain how to do it.
Yang Yuhuan was obviously used to it, and he accepted the tea tacitly without asking any questions. He held the pipa and moved towards the door with lotus steps.
"What about the mission of A Li and I, Master?" Yi Xing asked hastily.
"Yixing, you go to find out about Di Renjie's tone tomorrow—A Li, you don't need to go on missions these few days if you stay in the house—safety is the most important thing after all." Ming Shiyin arranged the mission and walked to In the middle of the courtyard, all the peonies bloomed around him, as gorgeous as fireworks in the night sky.
He opened his arms, looking directly at the dazzling sun with red and white pupils.
The thin lips opened and closed, murmuring something.
Yi Xing and A Li had already gone away, and Huzi couldn't do anything about the delicate flowers, so he stared straight at the leader.
Just now that action happened to fall into his eyes, Hu couldn't help asking:
"Boss, what are you talking about?"
Ming Shiyin put his hands down, his gaze stayed on Pei Qinhu's face for a long time: "The sun tells me that the immortals are coming."
"Immortal?" Pei Qinhu sneered, "Why do you believe such illusory things?"
"No, I'm not talking about the gods in the sky." Ming Shiyin shook his head.
"That is…?"
"Tiger, immortals are the sustenance of people's good wishes." Ming Shiyin walked to the pool and filled the pot with water, "then they did everything they could to please the immortals—in the end, nothing was achieved. But wise people put their hopes on themselves, They were down-to-earth, worked extremely hard, and then created their own mythology. They are their own gods!" Ming Shiyin said so many words for the first time.
"Be your own god..." Hu Zi seemed to have a feeling, he was silent for a while, but he still asked weakly, "Leader, why don't you be my god for once, teach me, this Xia Shangshuang... how to serve you... "
The corners of Ming Shiyin's lips raised slightly, and the dark clouds in his heterochromatic pupils were swept away, and his voice followed him into the room, blowing in the chilly spring breeze, and falling on the rustling petals.
"Don't teach."
([-]) A man should be like this
Yushui Pavilion, as the name suggests, the water is like jasper.The pavilion is also cleverly built, with its cover and wings like an eagle spreading its wings.The vermilion pillars of the pavilion are decorated with pavilions on the upper and lower sides, with birds carved on the upper part, kylins painted on the lower part, decorated with pearls and emeralds, resplendent in gold and jade.
There is a square coffee table and several stone chairs in the center of the pavilion, all decorated with green jade.
Yang Yuhuan wore a moon-white embroidered plum jacket skirt, a sapphire blue horse-face skirt, and a silver-white wreath pattern embroidered on the skirt, and a spirit snake bun on her head.Different from her usual red and green outfits, today she is dressed in plain clothes, with simple and elegant makeup, like a moonlight fairy, who has strayed into the mortal world.
She walked in a meandering manner, and sat opposite the red-haired man with lotus steps.
"Master alone?" Yang Yuhuan had a just right smile on his face, any more would be too contrived, and any less would not show sincerity.
The man was eight feet tall, with a dignified appearance, and his long flame-like hair was gathered into a ponytail, capable and refreshing.
"Why, Miss, would you like to drink with me?" The man toasted, and it was raining heavily outside the pavilion, and ripples bloomed on the emerald-like lake.
"Eating wine makes you sweat. After sweating, the wind blows and you get cold. The little girl got a piece of tea the day before yesterday, and the color is very good. How about I add a cup of tea for you?"
"Very good." The man listened to the tea, his eyes dissipated, and the hand that was calloused by the gun barrel rubbed the wine glass, and then put it down heavily.
When Yang Yuhuan handed the tea to the red-haired man, his lake-blue pupils shrank slightly, and his expression froze, but he quickly regained his laxness.
"Girl, Han Xin took this hot cup of tea." He drank the hot tea with a smile, and pressed the teacup on the tea table, with the residual warmth of his palm and boiling water.
The dark blue tea leaves cooled down quickly. Han Xin held up his umbrella and walked into the slightly cold spring rain. The cold spring breeze blew across his cheeks, and most of the drunkenness was awakened.
The corners of Yang Yuhuan's lips curled up. The coward who only knew how to cry back then can now stand on his own, defying hardships and dangers.
Where Yang Yuhuan couldn't hear, Han Xin turned his head, looked at the curtain of light rain, and said softly: "You will fulfill your mission."
Six years ago, famine.
The fiery red sun was in the sky, continuing to scorch the cracked earth, and the hot sand was blown up by the wind, blinding the eyes.
Han Xin rubbed his eyes vigorously, physiological tears overflowed from the blue pupils and evaporated quickly.
The heat absorbed by the evaporation made him feel cool for a moment, but it did not take away the sand in his eyes.
Han Xinxu narrowed his eyes, braved the strong wind, and shuffled forward in the desert, his clothes that were shredded into rags fluttered in the wind and sand.
Behind him were countless people like him, dense gray and black wriggling with difficulty in the golden desert.
"father."
He forced the sound out of his thirsty and hoarse throat with difficulty.
"How long...how long?"
Father Han slowly turned his head to him, raised his hand, and made a gesture of three.
"Three hours? Three days? Three months? Or three years?!" A big brother who was traveling with him finally couldn't hold it anymore, and he yelled—even though his voice was hoarse, he couldn't raise his voice.
Father Han was silent. Leaning on crutches, he raised his head to look up at the sky, Gu Jing's eyes reflected the scorching sun.
"Yeah, elder... my daughter... two days later, if my daughter can't eat anything, she will be doomed!" The old mother, who was bent over by life, knelt down at Father Han's feet, her sunken eye sockets were already full of blood. Shed a tear.
"Patriarch!"
The people behind him knelt down, each telling his misfortune and dissatisfaction.
Han Xin covered his ears irritably, when suddenly he saw a boy with purple hair.
He was sitting on the ground, the embarrassment on his face could not hide the sharp teasing and mocking in the violet eyes, he stroked his short hair of the same color, seemed to notice Han Xin's gaze, and raised a provocative smile at him.
Han Xin is not an irritable person, and he is indifferent to this kind of provocation.
But at the same time, he is also a curious person. He narrowed his lake-blue eyes, stepped barefoot on the hot yellow sand, and sat beside him.
"You are different from them." Han Xin stared into his eyes, the inquiry in his eyes met his mockery.
"What's the matter, young master." The man's voice was deep, and the hoarseness caused by thirst made his voice even more magnetic.
He paused: "Not everyone will regard you as gods."
"We are not gods." His glass-like eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Pfft ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha." The purple-haired boy laughed, "But they regard you and your father as gods! They are cowardly, lazy, and long for the salvation of the gods, but you, you are stronger and far-sighted than them, so you Became their god - you enjoy the worship of 'believers' too, don't you?"
"No." The fire in Han Xin's eyes was extinguished, and he looked at the boy in front of him disappointedly.
The boy laughed even harder, so that he coughed violently: "Maybe you haven't thought about it this way, but you are rightly enjoying all of this!"
"You can always get better water and food with less work, can't you?"
"I……"
"You never have to worry about being abandoned, you never experience loss, do you?"
"You never—"
"No!" Han Xin roared, stopping the boy who was getting more and more excited.
"I didn't." His voice trailed off again.
The purple-haired boy saw the tears in his eyes, shut his mouth, looked at the sky for a long time, and said softly, "I admire the founding monarch of Qin."
"Ying Zheng!" Han Xin's eyes lit up, and the flame ignited again.
"Yes, he gave the people of Qin land equality, peace, and human rights." The boy stretched his hand to the sky, his eyes sparkling with admiration.
"Naihe II is cruel." Han Xin sighed.
"Yes, I have seen Ying Zheng with my own eyes, and he told me that only when a person becomes his own god, can he be a complete, independent and successful person."
"A man should be like this!" He stood up, facing the scorching sun, and opened his arms.
The flames in Han Xin's eyes became brighter, and he raised the corners of his lips: "What is your name?"
"Liu Bang."
Intuition told Han Xin that he would become good friends with this boy.
that's the truth.
"Come with me." The voice was as gentle as moonlight entering water.
The man reached out to her, and she felt that she had encountered a spring breeze.
Then she went with him.
She has a name - Gongsunli.
That person was Ming Shiyin. When Gongsunli heard this name for the first time, he was so happy that he repeated it several times. Ming Shiyin asked her what was wrong, but she smiled shyly and didn't answer.
Later, Ming Shiyin became her master, and there was a white and thin boy named Yi Xing who studied with her.
Gongsunli likes every sunny morning the most, watching the sunlight gild Master's silver-white hair, and then she can stare at it all morning. Master is an extremely cold person, and the word gentle has nothing to do with him, but Gongsunli knows I remember, on that gloomy night, when he stepped on the moonlight, his eyes were clearly as gentle as water.
She likes that kind of master.
So she felt that the gentle Chaoyang was the most suitable for Master.
-
The master taught her to recite poems and compose Fu, she learned very quickly, and taught her self-defense skills, but she kept interrupting.
Girls should be gentle and gentle, twisting embroidery needles lightly with their fingers, dancing with knives and swords, of course it is left to boys.
By coincidence, Gongsun Liwu can't do it, but Wu can do it.
She has a very good figure, and she is also extremely sensitive to rhythm, so Ming Shiyin invited a dancer named Diao Chan to teach her how to dance while he was teaching Yi Xing martial arts.
-
On her 14th birthday, her master gave her an oiled paper umbrella with red maple embroidered on the light yellow background. She liked it so much that she couldn't put it down.
Seeing that she loves umbrellas, Diao Chan wants to teach her the umbrella dance, and Gongsunli is naturally very happy.
She knew that when she opened the paper umbrella and stretched her jade arms, she would be the only one in Master's eyes. Unfortunately, he never smiled, and his eyes were always blank.
Is it because I didn't do well enough?
Then try harder!
She practiced dancing harder and harder, and Diao Chan also said that she was the most talented and hardworking dancer she had ever seen in her life.
But the master still couldn't smile, and even the blush that Chaoyang put on him couldn't add any more warmth to him.
-
Master has a peony garden, and he never lets A Li and Xiao Xingxing go in, but he often stays there for half a day.
At that time, after the morning schoolwork, Gongsunli was strolling at home and arrived outside the peony garden without knowing it.
Suddenly heard a chuckle, as if the clouds cleared away the fog.
Oh, it's Master.
She also heard a soft female voice.
A thing called jealousy grows secretly in the bottom of my heart.
Did Master know how to laugh?
So there is a girl hiding in the peony garden?
Who is that girl?
What is her relationship with Master?
Her heart was in a mess, as if fleeing, she quickened her pace and quickly ran back to her room.
She felt her nose was a little sore—maybe it was the cold spring breeze—or so she told herself.
She looked up, only to see that the pretty girl in the prismatic mirror had her eyes reddened by the spring breeze, and she shed tears—it seemed that it hurt her heart too... Spring breeze, I really don't understand the style...
-
"Little Xingxing, tell me, what is hidden in Master's Peony Garden?" She lay on the table, resting her chin with one hand, a cunning flashed in her eyes.
Yi Xing closed the book, expressionless: "I don't know."
"Does little Xingxing want to know?" She tugged on Yixing's sleeve.
"…In no mood"
"..." Gongsunli stood up abruptly, staring at Yi Xing, only to see the other side's expression "Don't try to trick me this time".
Gongsunli stuck out his tongue, this guy is really a standard good student, but!I don't care how you stand still, this girl will definitely drag you into the water!
"Little Xingxing, a few days ago I danced with Sister Diaochan at Anqinghou's Mansion." She said slowly, her amber eyes stared at Yixing, and she watched Yixing's eyes light up with satisfaction .
"Marquis An Qing, the Chi Fei chess piece!" Yi Xing swallowed, "You got it?"
"Of course." Gongsunli turned over and sat on the table with her legs crossed. In order to bribe a certain chess idiot, if those dignitaries wanted to reward her, she would first ask for peony flowers and second for chess.
Yi Xing's blue pupils looked up and down, and his lips opened and closed, as if he was going through a fierce ideological struggle.
"Tell me what the plan is."
"Come here." Gongsunli immediately burst into a bright smile, waved to him, and whispered a few times in his ear.
"Understood, I will try my best." Yi Xing picked up the book again, looked up after a few glances, "Remember, the Chi Fei chess piece."
"I won't miss you." She sat back in her seat humming a little tune.
-
"Master, there is something that Yi Xing cannot understand recently..."
As soon as Ming Shiyin was admitted to the hospital, Yixing stopped him, and Gongsunli skipped out the door, and then rushed to the back of the peony garden.
walk through the door?It doesn't exist, how could she have the ability to steal the key from the master, Gongsunli observed carefully yesterday, this peony garden is built in a special place, surrounded by water in the garden, with mountains behind it, it can be said to be a holy place to escape the summer heat and enjoy the scenery.
Master likes to build high walls, and Gongsunli, a child who doesn't know martial arts, will definitely not be able to climb over them, so she thought of borrowing mountains to get over.
The mountains in Heluo are not rocky mountains. Looking from a distance, they are magnificent and beautiful. The trees in the mountains are all century-old trees, with branches slanting out from the sides, and some even extend into the yard.
What Gongsunli wanted was to use this kind of tree to get in. She pulled a few feet of red silk and hung it on the book, grabbed the red silk with her jade hand, slowly climbed up the tree, and then carefully climbed along the branches to the edge of the courtyard wall.
After she finished this section without any danger, she got off the wall, but saw a beautiful woman standing under the plum blossom tree not far away.
Ink-like long hair, pink skin, wearing a pale pink floor-length dress, and a light white cloak wrapped around her jade arms.
Just by looking at her from a distance, she knew that she couldn't match such a temperament.
The beauty seemed to sense the torch-like gaze, she turned around slowly, and smiled at Gongsun Liqiao.
"Girl." The voice was so gentle that it was not like it should be in the world.
Probably at that moment, Gongsunli understood what is self-confession and what is the difference between cloud and mud.
"Is my sister a fairy in the sky?" She asked blankly.
([-]) The fog makes it difficult to distinguish between true and false
The spring breeze and rain disturbed the pear blossoms who had just arrived, Li Bai sat in the restaurant box, his eyes reflected the misty rain outside the window.
After having a drink, the charming woman on the opposite side played with the silk flower in her hand, and said in a soft voice, "The Gongsun girl you mentioned, we have never had it in our dance studio."
"So that's the case." Li Bai's eyes darkened, "Then
"I've never heard of it." Su Daji picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and seemed to think of something, and said slowly, "The new peony alchemist, he brought a kind of flower whose petals are getting redder from the inside to the outside. Peony seems to be called Xia Shangshuang. But I heard there are only five of them."
"In this way, this rosy glow is very precious." Li Bai chuckled lightly. Where did such a precious flower, a little dancing girl, come from?
"I heard that someone once heard the wailing sound of the demon seed from the mansion of the peony alchemist at night." Su Daji put the silk flower on her head, and her silky eyes were full of water.
"It's just a rumor, Daji doesn't have to worry about it." He comforted, "If it really happened to me to abuse the demon species, Li will definitely kill him."
"Pfft." Daji was amused by him, "There are so many ugly things in the world, and how many people are involved. How can we kill them all? Wouldn't it be best if they could be influenced?"
"That's right, what Li did was rude." Li Bai laughed.
"However, if you think about it carefully, it's really something you would say. After all, you are a sword fairy who can kill a person in ten steps, and never stay behind for a thousand miles." She smiled slightly, revealing her sweet dimples.
"Sword Immortal." He chewed these two words, "It's a pity that he only inherited the title of Master."
Su Daji looked up at him, thinking that it was rare to see him like this, and was about to speak, so she listened to him speak slowly.
"But one day, I will make the name of Sword Immortal known all over the world because of me!" He stood up, reflecting the whole Chang'an spring in his eyes.
No, it's not Chang'an's spring, it's his youth, it's his youth that burns like a flame.
Su Daji looked at him and stayed for a long time: "If it were you, I would definitely succeed."
Not for any reason, just because of his inherent self-confidence and arrogance.
"There's still something to do in Lefang, I'll go back first." Daji got up to leave, opened her umbrella, and her figure melted into the mist and rain.
Li Bai saw that Su Da had already left, and he had nothing to do here, so he got up, ready to go to Mrs. Lu's wine shop to get the jug.
He never brought an umbrella, his brown hair was wet by the raindrops, he stepped on the bluestone slabs wet by the drizzle, and a few spring breeze caressed his cheeks, and he felt a little relaxed.
He simply walked along, not caring about the assassination, not caring about the jug, just wanting to appreciate the comfort.
As he was walking, he unexpectedly came to the gate of the Imperial Envoy's Mansion, and it happened that Di Renjie walked out right in the middle.
"Lord Di." Li Bai bowed to him, and slipped under his umbrella like a loach, "Do you mind if you take shelter from the rain?"
"I don't mind." Di Renjie exhaled, the two black spots under his eyes were particularly eye-catching.
"Master Di has been busy with official duties recently." Li Bai teased him.
Di Renjie ignored his teasing, and instead said: "Are you investigating that case?"
"Yeah." Although he didn't say it clearly, Li Bai knew what he was talking about, "Actually, it's not really a check, it's just a matter of paying attention."
"There's a lot involved in this case." Di Renjie turned his head and looked at him, "I advise you not to get involved."
"Why?" Li Bai became interested after saying this.
"Maybe there are more involved, maybe someone in the court is supporting those people behind their backs." He paused, "Even the demons are involved."
Li Bai was pondering the meaning of his words, Di Renjie patted him on the shoulder: "Here we are."
As soon as Li Bai raised his head, the words Lu's aged wine came into view. He thanked him and entered the door.
Aunt Lu brought him a towel to wipe off the rain on his body, and prepared a dry shirt for him to change into.
Li Bai put everything behind his head and didn't think about it.
He felt dizzy, so he lay down in the room and fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already evening, the rain had stopped, and even the afterglow of the setting sun could be seen in the sky.
He leaned on the railing, looked at the pedestrians on Zhuque Street, and couldn't stop thinking about what Daji and Di Renjie said.
It has something to do with the people in the court, and with the demon species. Su Daji also said that there has never been a dancer like Gongsunli in the music workshop.
The wails of demons were heard in Ming Shiyin's mansion, and he loved peonies very much.
At that time, although the surprise attack was aimed at Gongsunli on the surface, she was not injured at all, and it was ordinary people who were injured.
All this made Li Bai have a bad guess that the surprise attack that day was just a farce directed and acted by himself.
Thinking of this, he immediately raised his sword, took the jug, and ran towards the Magic Dance Band.
-
"My good sister, I've worked hard for you these few days." A Li was talking and laughing with the dancing girl beside him while packing his things.
The dancing girl smiled slightly: "Ah Li has been recuperating at home for the past few days - the gang of thieves did not know what is good or bad yesterday! How dare they go to Chang'an to make trouble!"
Ah Li finished packing his things, put his bag on his back, and said, "Sister, be careful these few days."
"Yes." The dancer escorted her out of the Magic Dance Band, and then went back to her room.
The sky has completely darkened and there is no moon.
Ah Li turned into a deserted alley, stopped his light steps, clenched the paper umbrella in his hand and said, "Young Master has been following you for a while, why don't you come out and talk?"
Li Bai came out from the darkness: "It's a pity that the girl has such a sensitive hearing, but she is just a dancing girl."
Li Bai's qinggong is very good, she has already reached the point where she can walk without a trace, and she can feel that the person following him must be someone who has practiced martial arts since childhood, how can she reach such a level as a dancer?
"So it's Li Shaoxia." Gongsunli heaved a sigh of relief, "What's the matter with Li Shaoxia?"
"I'm just confused about something and want to ask Miss." Li Bai smiled, "Who gave Miss Xia Shangshuang, such a beautiful flower, I also want to ask for one."
"It's just rewards from officials and merchants, and it's not a rare thing." Gongsunli said with a smile, "If you want it, my lord, I will give you this flower."
"No need." Li Bai's doubts grew stronger.
There are only five flowers, how precious is it?If it has nothing to do with it, how can you enjoy the fireworks in Liuxiang casually?
"Li is such a rough man, the peony is ruined in my hands, it is more beautiful in the girl's hair." Li Bai looked at the bag on her shoulder, and said slowly, "Where is the girl going?"
"When I encountered something like that yesterday, I was always scared. Go home and recuperate for a few days."
"Is the girl really from the Magic Dance Band?" Li Bai asked, "I am an old friend with the owner of the band, and she seems to have no impression of you."
"Fangzhu is busy every day, and it is normal that I don't remember my little dancer."
"That girl's martial arts is—"
"Li Shaoxia!" Gongsunli interrupted him, "Say what you have to say!"
"That's very good." He rubbed his fingers against the hilt of the sword, "What's the relationship between you and Peony Alchemist? What's your purpose?"
"I have nothing to say to you, A Li!" She sighed, and her suspicions really came to her, "I advise you not to ask any more questions, the things involved here are not something you can get involved in."
"If that's the case, it's offended!" Li Bai pulled out Longquan instantly, took a step forward, and the sword energy came straight towards Gongsunli.
Gongsunli threw out the paper umbrella, resisted the sword energy, a flicker appeared in front of Li Bai, and hit Li Bai's chest with his palm.
Li Bai grabbed her wrist and clasped it with his backhand. Gongsunli summoned a paper umbrella with his right hand and threw it at Li Bai.
Li Bai had just avoided the paper umbrella, and seeing her pull away, he jumped into the air, and the sword in his hand turned into several phantoms, running towards Gongsunli.
Gongsunli couldn't dodge in time, his arm was scratched by the sword shadow, and he happened to step on a stone, fell to the ground and twisted his foot.
"Li Shaoxia bullying a weak woman is really majestic!" A male voice came out accompanied by a spear.
Li Bai hurriedly picked up his sword and caught the spear.
Without the moonlight, he couldn't see the opponent's face clearly. He only felt that the opponent's marksmanship was meticulous and his movements were smooth and smooth, so he might be a difficult character.
([-]) Dispelling clouds and mist to float on the water
Li Baifei got on the roof, and the opponent followed closely. With a spear stab, Li Bai dodged sideways, but the opponent immediately turned to sweep.
Li Bai's reaction was also extremely fast, he tiptoed to the ground, soared into the air, stepped on his gun, and Longquan thrust forward in his hand, straight towards the opponent's forehead.
The man on the opposite side sent the spear in his hand upwards, while he bent down and passed Longquan.
Li Bai jumped down from the spear, and fired several bursts of sword energy forward, pressing straight towards the opponent. This is a move he created himself called "Four Sides Song".
He quickly received another "White Rainbow Piercing the Sun", and Longquan hit the opponent's heart directly, with a turbulent and majestic momentum.
The man on the other side was not in a hurry, he lightly stretched his ape arm and pressed Li Bai's wrist, the spear passed through his side, blocking the white rainbow piercing the sun, and quickly turned down again, turning from defense to attack.
Li Bai couldn't cry, he retracted the Longquan, made a feint, turned over and fell to the ground again.
The man on the opposite side followed closely behind, shot away the snake, and wrestled with him.
Gongsunli was standing beside him, sweating anxiously, she knew that Li Bai was not a fellow of the red killers, she definitely didn't want to see him fight with Han Xin, but she was injured just now, and she didn't know what to do at this moment.
"stop."
Li Bai recognized the cold female voice, but it was much weaker than yesterday.
Zixia staggered out from the shadows. She took off her flowing fairy dress, a black night clothes, and her long hair tied into a ponytail.
Li Bai saw that there were many knife marks on her clothes, her face was disheveled, and she was in a panic, so she hurriedly stopped, presumably for some reason, so she put away the sword.
Seeing that he had no intention of fighting again, the opponent stopped attacking.
Zixia covered the bleeding wound on her arm, and said softly: "Li Bai, you were deceived by Master Su."
Li Bai was shocked when he heard the words, and Fang was about to ask in detail, but Zixia's footsteps swayed, and she was about to faint, so he quickly caught her.
"If Li Shaoxia is willing, Ah Li can tell you everything he knows." Gongsunli said suddenly, "Why don't you come to my house and give this sister a place to rest, okay?"
Li Bai wanted to come to Aunt Lu's house which was quite far away, and he did have many questions to ask Gongsunli, since the girl was willing, he naturally agreed.
Gongsun is really not far from home, and he arrived after a short walk.
Li Bai looked up at the house. Although the mansion was not big, it was exquisite.No matter how you look at it, it is not something that the dancing girl can afford, so she couldn't help asking: "Who the hell is the girl? I can't believe that she is really a dancing girl with such skill and this kind of mansion."
"Yaotian, Gongsunli." She was dealing with the scratches on her arm, "I have nothing to say about the organization."
"Hmm..." Li Bai responded, looking back at Zixia who was lying on the bed—she didn't seem to want to wake up yet.
Su Daji has known him for more than two years, so she probably wouldn't lie to him, but after thinking about it carefully, there are many doubts.
According to Zixia, she had been tracking that group of people for more than a few months, and at that time she chose to help Gongsunli, which meant that according to the information she had, Gongsunli would not be with those people.
Looking at Gongsunli's appearance now, it doesn't seem to be half hidden, but it shows a clear conscience.
Di Renjie said that these people were related to the people in court, but he didn't say it was Ming Shiyin.
His actions just now were too arbitrary.
"Here's the medicine for sores." The voice of the man with the gun interrupted his thoughts.
Looking back, I saw a red ponytail in the flickering candlelight.
The man handed Ah Li a bottle, walked to his side, stretched out his hand with the golden sore medicine in his hand.
"Maybe you don't need it, but that girl definitely needs it." As if afraid of his misunderstanding, the red-haired man added.
Li Bai took the medicine in a fog.I heard the man say, "I'm under Han Xin."
He replied: "Li Bai"
"I've heard about you for a long time." The man on the other side smiled and said respectful words, but his face was full of sarcasm and seven of indifference.
"Aren't you going to help that girl apply the medicine? It's not easy to change the clothes if the wound is scabbed." Han Xin looked at the pale Zixia, and at Li Bai who was staring at the medicine, he couldn't help but said.
Hearing this, Li Bai was a little helpless: "I have known that girl not long ago, if I help her change her medicine, wouldn't that ruin the girl's innocence?"
"So you don't know her well?" Han Xin raised his forehead, God knows how he could see his familiarity and trust in Li Bai from Zixia's eyes in such a dark night.
"For this kind of thing, Ah Li should do it." Gongsun Li obviously heard their conversation, opened the bead curtain, sat by the bed, and took the golden sore medicine from Li Bai.
Li Bai got up and walked out of the house. The night was already extremely dense. A dark blue curtain shrouded the sky above Chang'an City, and the distant sky was still slightly red. He found two stars from the clouds and stared at them in a daze.
Han Xin then also came out, staring at Li Bai's profile.
"Master Sword Immortal has always been afraid of trouble, why did he take care of such things today." Seeing Li Bai's tired face, he teased him, "You still made yourself into such a mess?"
"You care about me?" Li Bai rolled his eyes. He is in an extremely bad mood and his thoughts are extremely confused, so he is too lazy to argue with Han Xin.
"Li Shaoxia, that girl woke up and said she wants to see you." Gongsunli walked slowly with lotus steps.
"Oh." He answered and entered the door.
