You are a lonely soul and I am a wild ghost
Chapter 1 feels a little overwhelmed.
So there was a silent sigh, and without any response, he carried Qi An on his back and left quickly.
Xu Lanshan watched their leaving backs, suddenly closed his eyes weakly, raised his head, and let out a long sigh.The texture of the yin and yang book in his hand is so real, constantly reminding him that what he has always wanted to accomplish for his brother has finally come true.
But I always feel that something doesn't seem right.
Zhai Zifeng carried Qi An on his back and fled eastward all the way, but because Qi An was covered in blood now, it was too ostentatious to walk into the city, so Zhai Zifeng took him to find a ruined temple in the countryside to rest temporarily.
Zhai Zifeng carefully helped him down, seeing that his whole face was pale, he couldn't help becoming nervous again: "Did you hurt the inside?"
Qi An nodded with some difficulty, and untied his lapel with trembling fingers, only to see a large piece of hideous purple-red blood on his fair chest that hadn't seen the sun all year round.
Zhai Zifeng was stunned, stretched out his hand to press it carefully, and felt his pulse again: "...It's not bad, the bones are not broken, although the internal organs are a little bit injured, but it should be fine after a while."
The strength of the walking corpse was frighteningly strong, Qi An had used enough internal strength to bear the punch, if it was an ordinary person, his internal organs would have been ripped apart.But fortunately, there was a layer of clothes in between, and the walking corpse did not directly touch the skin, otherwise, if it was infected with corpse poison, it might not be so simple.
Qi An breathed a sigh of relief, and teased, "I was scared to death..."
Zhai Zifeng's eye sockets were sore, and he muttered, "It's okay to say."
The most troublesome thing right now is his arm.Qi An himself took it twice and failed to connect it, most likely because the bone in the joint was injured, and Zhai Zifeng gasped in pain when he touched him lightly.
Zhai Zifeng cut a piece of wood for him, then firmly supported his elbow, compared the position slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Hold it." Qi An is a soldier, and never feels such a small injury There is nothing to make a fuss about Xiaotong, but when Zhai Zifeng forcefully straightened the bone back for him with a "clack", he still couldn't help but groan in pain.
It's not a big deal, but it really hurts.
After setting the bone, Zhai Zifeng took out a small bottle of medicine, applied it on his elbow joint, tore off a piece of fabric from his own clothes, and wrapped the wooden board tightly around his arm.The most troublesome part of this kind of injury is that the so-called injury can move the bone for a hundred days. Before the bone grows well, you can't move it.
Qi An pressed his left arm, which was almost numb, and forced a smile with the corners of his mouth: "Thank you."
Zhai Zifeng's complexion was not particularly good, he sneered, and said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense."
But while saying this, he still took out another medicine, poured it out carefully for him, and then gently applied it on the blood on his chest, and massaged the meridian and acupoints skillfully with his fingers. , to help him dissipate the silt.
But no matter how light Zhai Zifeng's hands are, it's impossible not to hurt, Qi An sullenly leaned on his body without saying a word, frowning slightly.
His knee was fine, probably just a twist, nothing major.By the time Qi An finished treating the wound, it was already dark.
Qi An was sweating profusely, lying on the straw mat on the right side with some exhaustion, Zhai Zifeng pinched his slightly frowning brow half-jokingly: "Is it better?"
Qi An nodded, his eyes gradually sank, and he suddenly asked: "The Yin-Yang book, do you really want it?"
Zhai Zifeng paused, and smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled: "If it's really mine, no one can take it away, and I'll take it back later."
Qi An shook his head with a smile, and said, "If Zhang Feng got the Yin-Yang book, would he let you go?"
Zhai Zifeng narrowed his eyes, smiled wryly and said, "As long as he knows that I am alive, he will never let me go."
"And," Zhai Zifeng said, "Isn't the golden seal still with me?"
Qi An let out a long sigh, some things are really not something you can hide from if you want to.
"Can I ask you a question?" Zhai Zifeng asked suddenly.
Qi An lifted his eyelids, and said lightly, "Ask."
Zhai Zifeng thought for a while and said, "How did you and my uncle meet?"
Qi An thought for a while, and recalled: "There was a war in the north, and I was shot by an arrow on the battlefield. For a solution, Chang Bin went to look for a miracle doctor everywhere, and then he found your uncle."
"He opened a pharmacy in the northern region back then, and he was very famous. He came to the barracks to take a look, gave me a few injections, and prescribed a few medicines for me, and he pulled me back from the gate of hell. I saw him as old and helpless back then, so I took him in as a guest and helped him open the drugstore bigger and bigger..."
Back then, Qi An promised to repay the kindness of dripping water, since the old man has no son or daughter, Qi An will help him to take care of him until his death.
"Before the old man left, he left me a bottle of Bi Anxiang. I didn't know what it meant at first, but I realized later..." Qi An smiled and sighed, "The old man is amazing, he thinks farther than I do."
At that time, he had been in trouble repeatedly in the court, and Zhai Tianyang probably knew that he would not be able to survive in the long run, so he left him such a way out.
Zhai Zifeng also finally understood why that old man Zhai Tianyang was willing to give Qi An his treasured Bianxiang incense all his life.
"What about after that?" Zhai Zifeng asked again, "What are you going to do?"
Qi An stared blankly at the roof for a while, then smiled and said, "Who knows?"
"Then why don't you go to southern Xinjiang?" Zhai Zifeng said a little sourly, "Why don't you go?"
"Southern Xinjiang? What's so good about Southern Xinjiang." Qi An wrinkled his nose, narrowed his eyes and said, "And do you think I'll be able to come back after I go there?"
Nanjiang County Prince's Mansion is not an inn, you can come and leave whenever you want, if you really go, I am afraid that you will never have a relationship with your homeland for the rest of your life.Zhai Zifeng remembered what he said to Chang Bin before - "I was born in Da'an and died in Da'an".
He was suddenly a little surprised to find that this kid who was about his own age, or even younger, had a disposition almost like an old man's. He was already thinking about returning to his roots when others were still thinking about traveling the world.
He doesn't care what the world thinks of him, or how the historian judges him, it seems that only when his bones are buried in the mountains and rivers of Da'an that he tried his best to protect, can he feel at ease.
This person seems to be at ease, but in fact he has long been firmly tied by the intertwined obsessions in his heart.
Zhai Zifeng looked at him with a complicated expression: "Did you really want to rebel?"
Qi An laughed, and half-jokingly said: "I thought about it, but I didn't do it. I am the king of Beisu, with 50 elite soldiers and cavalry. If I really embraced my own self-respect, the country would have changed hands long ago."
Although this sounds a bit boastful, it is true.In fact, sometimes Qi An himself felt that the emperor was right to kill, otherwise if he was allowed to continue to sit on the throne, even Qi An himself didn't know if he could restrain his desire.
With such a strong military force back then, if he said that he had no disobedience at all, I'm afraid even he himself would not believe it.
And the Son of Heaven is the root of a dynasty, and must not be moved rashly.
In the end, just in case, the emperor pressed him to death in the soil before his signs showed.
Now that success or failure has turned his head, he originally thought that even if he was accused of being a traitor and traitor, he would not be famous forever, at least he would be infamous for thousands of years.But he never expected that in such a short time after his death, the defense of the northern border would soon be topped up by the younger generation he trained himself, and the world would be safe and peaceful.
As for the title of King Beisu, no matter how thunderous it was back then, it is rarely mentioned now.
The hero of the whole life, where is he now?
At the end of the matter, Qi An suddenly realized that Da'an could live without him, but he couldn't live without Da'an.
After thinking about it, Qi An couldn't help a wry smile, his eyes were slightly red, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I, Qi Changning, have been a soldier and horse all my life, protecting rivers and rivers for generations, and I have nothing else to ask for."
He gritted his teeth for the next few words. Qi An didn't dare to speak nonsense if he really had nothing to ask for back then, but now at least the country he guarded is still not lost, and he also feels that this is enough.
Return to the most essential original intention, and then laugh at the twists and turns of the past.
At this time Zhai Zifeng saw Qi An crying for the first time, two lines of tears could not stop rolling down from his eyes.Zhai Zifeng crawled and pressed on his wound, half lying beside him and stayed with him all night.
until dawn.
☆、Gu Ping
When Xu Lanshan went down the mountain with the book of Yin and Yang, Gu Ping had been waiting for him on the mountainside for a long time.
"Brother." Xu Lanshan called him, and seemed to be in a good mood.
There was no expression on Gu Ping's face. Holding a lantern in his hand, he looked at the disciples of Yinyang Mountain behind Xu Lanshan, and said to Xu Lanshan, "Take a step to talk."
Xu Lanshan didn't doubt that he was there, so he asked Ren Lin and the others to wait in place with others, and followed Gu Ping to the depths of the forest.
When the shadows of those Yinyang Mountain disciples could no longer be seen, Gu Ping stopped, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you got the Yinyang book?"
Xu Lanshan nodded, took out the two yin and yang books he had snatched from Zhai Zifeng from his bosom, and added: "I didn't kill him."
Gu Ping didn't say a word, took the book of Yin-Yang and looked at it - well, it is indeed true.
"Brother called me here, what do you want to say?" Xu Lanshan asked suspiciously.
Gu Ping was stunned for a moment, then smiled, stretched out a hand and patted the back of Xu Lanshan's neck lightly: "Actually, it's nothing."
When Xu Lanshan heard it, he felt like he was being teased. He was about to complain when he suddenly felt a tingling pain in the back of his neck, followed by a tingling sensation like a tide.
Xu Lanshan's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "You..."
Gu Ping helped him to sit beside a tree, and the lantern was placed by his hand, casting a thick black shadow on half of his face.There was an indescribable sadness in Gu Ping's eyes, he sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Listen, senior brother won't harm you."
Xu Lanshan opened his mouth viciously, as if he wanted to scold something, but his tongue was numb, he couldn't speak, saliva flowed down the corner of his mouth, no matter how he looked, he was in a mess.
Gu Ping continued: "I'm telling you now that maybe you won't understand, but listen, the book of Yin and Yang must not be given to Zhang Feng."
After speaking, he took Xu Lanshan, who was already unconscious, into his arms and hugged him, patted him on the back lightly, and comforted him: "The potency of this medicine is only for one hour, don't be afraid."
After he finished speaking, Xu Lanshan had passed out completely. He put Xu Lanshan down, put the lantern by his hand, got up, turned around and left.
Gu Ping didn't dare to stop for a moment on the road. He didn't know where Zhai Zifeng had fled to, so he could only find a place to avoid the limelight for a while, but he felt something was wrong as soon as he got off the mountain.
He felt like someone was following him!
Gu Ping walked around a few times, but he couldn't shake it off. It felt like the whole city was staring at him...
It took Xu Lanshan an hour to wake up, his body was still a little limp, and there were a few disciples from Yinyang Mountain guarding him.
Xu Lanshan asked sullenly, "Where's Gu Ping?"
Seeing that he woke up, a disciple quickly brought over a bowl of water and replied, "Senior Brother Ren and Senior Brother Huang have already gone after him."
What Gu Ping said before leaving still lingered in Xu Lanshan's mind like a curse, disturbing him.Xu Lanshan was furious and confused, why did Gu Ping do such a thing.
Ren Lin and Huang Du didn't come back once they left. Xu Lanshan waited until the middle of the night, when he felt that things seemed to be out of control, and then hurriedly led people down the mountain to look for them.
They searched for a long time, and when they finally found Gu Ping, he was already dead—his head was gone, Xu Lanshan only recognized it based on the body, the whole alley was covered with blood, and there was a burst of blood. The pungent fishy smell made people's scalp numb.
Xu Lanshan's legs were almost limp, his mind was like a frying pan, and he followed like a demon, rolling and crawling towards him.
He looked at the headless corpse in disbelief, reached out and wiped the dried blood from the broken neck, and called tentatively: "Senior brother?"
The head is gone, how can I answer.
Only then did Xu Lanshan belatedly realize that Senior Brother Gu was no longer there, and he was gone before he could figure out what was going on.His eyes were red, and tears were streaming down his face.
The disciples of Yinyang Mountain had never seen Xu Lanshan cry so hard, one of them couldn't stand it anymore, and cautiously came up to remind him: "Brother Xu, that Yinyang book..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Lanshan yelled violently without looking back: "Get out!!!"
The disciple didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly retreated.
However, during the post-mortem examination, no Yin-Yang book was found on Gu Ping's body, and Xu Lanshan knew that the Yin-Yang book must no longer exist the first time he saw the corpse.
Otherwise, if it wasn't for this reason, why would Gu Ping be moved?
Xu Lanshan asked tremblingly, "Where are Ren Lin and Huang Du?"
A disciple replied: "I didn't come back..."
Xu Lanshan's staring eyes were bloodshot, and his trembling hands were tightly clenched into fists.
After a night's rest, Zhai Zifeng helped Qi An back to the city, and as soon as he entered the city, a small scout from Northern Xinjiang came to him. Since the whole of Monan was Chang Bin's eyeliner, if he wanted to find Qi An, it would not be What a problem.
The little scout asked Qi An to go to the Sunset Tower again, although Qi An said he didn't know what was going on with Chang Bin, he still agreed.
It was still the same Luming Pavilion as last time, and Chang Bin came to him excitedly with a wooden box in his hand.
Qi An raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Why, what's so happy about it?"
Chang Bin sat down opposite him in a good mood, and said happily, "Two pieces of good news for you."
"Oh?" Qi An said, "There are two more? Let's hear."
Chang Bin happily said: "The Huns have withdrawn their troops!"
Qi An was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "Yes."
Chang Bin rubbed his hands happily, and then said: "Another thing, it's like this, yesterday my eyeliner told me that someone was following you."
When he heard this, Qi An's face froze, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Chang Bin: "You guys went up the mountain all the way, and I sent people to wait in ambush in the city at the foot of the mountain. Last night, I slaughtered a single person. You can take a look."
Qi An's complexion darkened, and Zhai Zifeng also felt that something was wrong: "A single one?"
Chang Bin brought the wooden box in front of them, and put Yulu oil on the outside of the box. If this kind of thing is not used to suppress body odor, then it is used to remove fishy smell.
Chang Bin opened the box, and there was a human head inside.
——Gu Ping!
Before Qi An could react, Zhai Zifeng jumped up and even knocked over the teacup on the table in front of him, splashing hot tea everywhere.Qi An knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly got up and grabbed his arm before he lost control: "Zifeng!"
Zhai Zifeng stared at Chang Bin with wide eyes, crying and laughing in his heart... How did things become like this?
Looking at this posture, Chang Bin also understood that he probably killed the wrong person, so he raised his head and looked at Qi An at a loss: "Chang Ning..."
Qi An was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he just nodded and said: "Farewell" and dragged Zhai Zifeng out without hesitation.
After Zhai Zifeng went back, he stood by the window for most of the night. Chang Bin came to look for him a few times, but was forcibly sent away by Qi An.
After all, he can't blame him for it.
Qi An sat at the table and waited for Zhai Zifeng's reaction, and waited until the sky was getting brighter before the big statue of Zhai Zifeng moved slightly.
He squirmed a bit because he hadn't moved for a long time and didn't get wet, so his lips were dry and cracked, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I want to go back to Yinyang Mountain."
Seeing that he had some reaction, Qi An breathed a sigh of relief, and responded in a neutral manner: "I'll be with you."
☆, back to Chujiang
After all, he can't blame him for it.
Qi An sat at the table and waited for Zhai Zifeng's reaction, and waited until the sky was getting brighter before the big statue of Zhai Zifeng moved slightly.
He squirmed a bit because he hadn't moved for a long time and didn't get wet, so his lips were dry and cracked, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I want to go back to Yinyang Mountain."
Seeing that he had some reaction, Qi An breathed a sigh of relief, and responded in a neutral manner: "I'll be with you."
No one was chasing and killing when I went back, so it was much faster than when I came.It took almost two months for them to go north, but it took less than a month when they came back.
By the time they returned to Chujiang, it was already scorching midsummer.
Chuzhou was originally known for its extreme heat and humidity, and now it was catching up with the raging fire in July, and Zhai Zifeng wished he would have to pour cold water several times a day to get over it.
Yinyang Mountain is just south of Chuzhou City, ten days later there will be a mountain sacrifice ceremony, which is the annual festival of Yinyang Mountain, and famous schools from all over the world will come.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Feng is eager to find the Yin-Yang Book. As the master of the mountain, he doesn't even have the Yin-Yang Book, which is the treasure of the town school, and he has never practiced Yin-Yang Styles, and he doesn't even have the Yin-Yang Book at hand. All gold seals are imitations.
The elders in Yinyang Mountain couldn't stand it for a long time, and forced him to give an explanation every year. At the beginning, he took advantage of the limelight of Zhai Zifeng's murder of his master, and took advantage of the anger of the disciples in the mountain to actually control Yinyang Mountain for several years. But after a long time, everyone gradually forgot all kinds of things back then, and then remembered the problem of him as the head.
Zhang Feng was neither Zhai Tianlan's personal first disciple before, nor had he ever practiced Yin-Yang Style, so he was almost riding the wind. After the limelight passed, he became more and more difficult to convince the crowd.
What's more, some people will think, since everyone is not the first disciple, why can't you and I can't?
In addition, Yinyang Mountain does not exist alone in the world, but also has close contacts with various famous and decent sects. If he does not give an explanation to everyone at this mountain sacrifice ceremony, I am afraid that not only him, but even the entire Yinyang Mountain will not be able to do so. better off.
Zhang Feng built a bamboo hut in Yinyang Villa, which was specially used for cooling off in summer. On weekdays, few people would come, unless he personally summoned him, otherwise no one would dare to bother him.
That day he was making tea alone in the bamboo house, but there were three cups on the table.The silver pot is boiled with white leaf tea, which is a specialty of Chujiang River, and it is also his favorite drink on weekdays, but he doesn't drink it very often after becoming the head of the house.
Hearing footsteps not far away, Zhang Feng knew that someone was coming, so he filled the three cups with tea in a leisurely manner, then got up leisurely, and turned around with a smile: "Ren Lin, Huang ferry."
Ren Lin and Huang Du rushed to Yinyang Mountain ahead of Xu Lanshan and the others. When they found Gu Ping, Gu Ping was already dead, but luckily the Yinyang Book was still on him.The two were afraid that there would be another incident, so they rushed back to report to Zhang Feng without notifying Xu Lanshan.
The two took a step forward, bowed their hands respectfully and said: "Master."
"It's really hard work," Zhang Feng greeted him with a smile on his face, "How is the situation?"
Ren Lin took out two undamaged yin and yang books from his bosom, put them in front of Zhang Feng with both hands, nodded and said: "Please read it, master."
Zhang Fengsha happily took over the Yin-Yang book, a strange look flashed in his pair of phoenix eyes, and then he put on a kind smile: "Thank you, both of you."
After speaking, he turned back and put the Yin-Yang book back on the table in the bamboo house, then he handed two cups of tea to the two, and then he picked up another cup, cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to you, this treasure of the town can be obtained." Returning to Yinyang Mountain, I will definitely be able to revitalize the mountain again, Zhang here is using tea instead of wine, a toast to the two of you!"
Ren Lin smiled sincerely, nodded and said, "I am ashamed to be late."
Huang Du glanced at Ren Lin beside him, and then at Zhang Feng. He always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't quite understand it. Seeing that Zhang Feng had already drank it all in one gulp, he had no choice but to drink it up in one gulp.
Zhang Feng smiled, invited the two of them to sit down in the bamboo house, and said with concern: "Is there anything wrong with this journey?"
Ren Lin smiled and said: "If you return to the head, everything will be fine for us."
Zhang Feng smiled: "The two young talents must be gods blocking and killing gods and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddha."
Ren Lin smiled embarrassingly, and said, "The master's reputation is too high."
"Where?" Zhang Feng waved his hands cheerfully, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, and asked, "You snatched this yin and yang book from Zhai Zifeng?"
Ren Lin smiled and said, "I'm ashamed to be late, but most of this is due to Junior Brother Xu."
Zhang Feng let out a long sigh, and asked again: "Then besides you, who else has touched this yin and yang book?"
"Other than Junior Brother Xu, there is only Senior Brother Gu." Ren Lin thought for a while, and said, "But...Senior Brother Gu is dead."
"Dead?" Zhang Feng's expression changed, and the hand holding the cup couldn't help shaking, instinctively feeling that something was wrong, "What's going on?"
Ren Lin sighed and explained: "After Senior Brother Xu got the Yin-Yang Book, Senior Brother Gu stunned him for some reason and forcibly took away the Book of Yin-Yang. ..."
Zhang Feng frowned, and hurriedly asked: "Do you know who did it?"
Ren Lin shook his head, and Huang Du also said, "I'm ashamed to be late, I don't know."
Zhang Feng sighed, murmured "What a pity", then he didn't know what to think about, and asked as if worried: "Then... what about Lanshan? Is he injured?"
Ren Lin said: "Well, please rest assured, Master Xu is in good health, and should be back within two days."
Only then did Zhang Feng heave a sigh of relief, and after drinking the white leaf tea in the cup, he dusted off his robe and stood up.He walked towards the outside of the bamboo house without saying anything, Ren Lin was feeling strange, and just as he was about to look back, he suddenly felt his throat tighten.
With a chill in his heart, he suddenly turned his head to look at Huang Du beside him, and saw that the man was also at a loss, with blood gushing out from the seven orifices continuously.
Qiqiao Fenghou San.
When Ren Lin fell to the ground bleeding from his seven orifices, he saw Zhang Feng walking away without turning his head for the last time.
The white leaf tea can cover the smell of the medicine. Ordinary people will put some bitter medicine in it when they feed the children. No wonder they can't smell the poison in the white leaf tea soup.
Zhai Zifeng arrived in Chujiang after that. In the first few days of his arrival, he was in a state of confusion all day long. Finally, he returned to the inn only five days before the grand ceremony. He rushed to Qi An and moved out.
For a while, Qi An didn't quite understand what was going on, and with the Xiaotian dog in his arms, which had grown like a piglet, he followed Zhai Zifeng outside without knowing it: "What's wrong?"
Zhai Zifeng dragged him onto Chujiang Street without any explanation: "Go see someone."
Qi An asked suspiciously, "Who?"
"You've seen it before," Zhai Zifeng turned around and smiled at him, "My senior sister, Jiang Gong."
Qi An's expression froze, and when this woman was mentioned, he couldn't help but feel numb, and asked dryly, "Why are you looking for her?"
As soon as Zhai Zifeng saw his expression, he knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help saying happily: "Why, with that expression, she can't eat you."
Qi An was expressionless.
Zhai Zifeng grabbed him, grabbed the dog by the back of the neck and threw it down, he smiled and took Qi An's hand: "You are mine now, she dare not touch you again."
The Xiaotian dog, who was forcibly thrown off behind him, rushed up and bit Zhai Zifeng's trouser leg in dissatisfaction. Zhai Zifeng said "ah" exaggeratedly, and then took out a chicken bone from his purse and threw it to it—the one that he remembered to eat The dog let go of the "enemy" resolutely and happily put the chicken bone in his mouth.
Qi An pulled his hand back, gave him a blank look by the way, and said, "Speak seriously."
Zhai Zifeng shrugged boredly: "She is going to participate in the mountain sacrifice ceremony, and we have to rely on her to get in."
It was rare for Jianggong to show her face once, and Yinyang Mountain also arranged the best accommodation for her—Xianluan Tower in the south of the city.She brought quite a lot of people this time, most of them were young and beautiful women. When Zhai Zifeng and Qi An came, Jiang Gong had already prepared a large table of food and wine.
As soon as Qi An came in, he saw her gracefully raising Xijuan'er in her hand to him, and she even gave him a wink: "Long time no see, young master."
Qi An: "..."
Zhai Zifeng moved a few steps to the side calmly, standing in the middle of the sight of the two, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, why don't you say hello to me?"
Jiang Gong rolled her eyes deliberately as if joking, and said with a coquettish smile, "What is so rare about you?"
Zhai Zifeng smiled cheekily and led Qi An to his seat very naturally.Jiang Gong's eyes fell on Zhai Zifeng's hand, and then he smiled calmly, and said teasingly, "Is Zifeng going well these days?"
Zhai Zifeng smiled mercilessly: "Senior sister is joking."
Jiang Gong shrugged with a smile, then picked up two flat wooden boxes from the soft seat beside her: "No, what you want."
There are two wooden boxes, Zhai Zifeng and Qi An, each containing two extremely fine human skin masks.
Jiang Gong said: "You can also help me if you want, but when you follow me, you must tell me before doing anything."
Zhai Zifeng hooked the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "That's natural."
The three of them moved their chopsticks while they were talking, eating and chatting, Jiang Gong couldn't help sighing in the middle: "You, you, I just can't let it go."
Zhai Zifeng knew that she was kind, no matter how much he resisted in his heart, he just smiled on his face: "Zifeng is ordinary."
Jiang Gong smiled helplessly, turned to look at Qi An, half joking and half serious: "Zifeng has been taken care of by you."
Qi An smiled without saying a word, and offered her a glass of wine.
Not everyone can have nothing outside of them. Zhai Zifeng is a man in the world, and so is Qi An. After all, he can't escape the shackles of that little obsession.Fortunately, there is someone who is always by my side.
☆、Yin Yang Mountain
Zhai Zifeng knew that she was kind, no matter how much he resisted in his heart, he just smiled on his face: "Zifeng is ordinary."
Jiang Gong turned her head to look at Qi An helplessly, and said half jokingly and half seriously: "Zifeng has been taken care of by you."
Qi An smiled without saying a word, and offered her a glass of wine.
Not everyone can have nothing outside of them. Zhai Zifeng is a man in the world, and so is Qi An. After all, he can't escape the shackles of that little obsession.Fortunately, there is someone who is always by my side.
Three days before the grand ceremony, Xu Lanshan rushed back to Chujiang with a group of Yinyangshan disciples. He burned Gu Ping's body in the northern border, put the ashes in a small box and brought them back to Chujiang.
Gu Pingcai died as soon as he took away the Yin-Yang book, Ren Lin, Huang Du and Yin-Yang book disappeared, no matter how innocent Xu Lanshan was, he would still understand the matter by now.
What Zhai Zifeng said to him once, and what Gu Ping said to him last before leaving, made him have to re-examine it.Xu Lanshan was a little dazed from time to time along the way, he thought that even if these two people really knew something, they would never reveal a word to him.In fact, Xu Lanshan knew in his heart that Zhai Zifeng was always protecting him, and Gu Ping was always protecting him, but this kind of protection, like that of a child, made him more and more painful.
You must know what you should know, Xu Lanshan thought, Gu Ping tried every means to mediate between him and Zhai Zifeng before his death, but he was unwilling to tell him a word.
When Zhai Tianyang left, Zhang Feng said that he was so hurt by the death of the sect leader that he went mad, and even sent a large number of Yinyang Mountain disciples to search around. After so many years, no one was alive or dead.
How could Zhai Tianyang, the dignified second in command of Yinyang Mountain, be crazy if he said he was crazy.
At the beginning Xu Lanshan did not know, and was dazzled by the grief of the death of his mentor. Even though he felt that Zhang Feng's explanation was a bit far-fetched, he still did not suspect him in the end.
Thinking about it now, it's really stupid.
He put together all kinds of threads from the past to the present, and a somewhat vague outline slowly appeared in his mind.In fact, these clues have been by his side for so many years, but he chose to believe in Zhang Feng, so he ignored them all.Or maybe he hated Zhai Zifeng too much, so he willfully put all the responsibility on Zhai Zifeng.
He could have been so self-willed, but it's a pity that Gu Ping is gone.
When he returned to Yinyang Mountain, the entire Yinyang Villa was busy preparing for the mountain sacrifice ceremony.The altar was almost set up, and Zhang Feng was busy with entertainment all day long, so it was difficult to see anyone from morning till night.
At that time, he was negotiating with the head of the Liushan Sword Sect. During the break, a young disciple told him that Xu Lanshan had returned to the villa. The members of the Sword Sect chatted briefly, then politely said goodbye impatiently.
"Lanshan," he excitedly walked towards the bamboo house, and the people sitting beside the table heard the movement, stood up quietly and cupped their hands and said, "Master."
Zhang Feng had already gone up to meet him, supported Xu Lanshan's shoulders to let him sit down, and complained with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's only been out for a long time, why are you so divided?"
"There is no one else here, call me brother." Zhang Feng poured him a cup of tea himself in a good mood, "Come on, take your time, this trip has been hard."
Xu Lanshan looked at the cup filled with tea that was handed over in front of him, but didn't pick it up right away. He raised his eyes to look into Zhang Feng's eyes, and then lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you, brother."
After speaking, he took the cup of tea and took a sip.
Zhang Feng mumbled and asked warmly as if talking to himself, seeing Xu Lanshan's mixed responses, and realizing that his expression didn't seem right, he asked with concern, "What's the matter? But you're in a bad mood?"
"No," Xu Lanshan smiled, pulling the corners of his mouth, "Thank you brother for your concern."
Xu Lanshan's deliberate unfamiliarity made Zhang Feng feel very uncomfortable, and then his face darkened: "If there is anything inappropriate, you can tell brother Wei."
Xu Lanshan was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "Did you get the Yin-Yang book?"
Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I got it, thanks to Lanshan."
Xu Lanshan didn't say anything, he just stared at the tea soup in the cup, his fingertips trembling slightly.Zhang Feng stared at him for a while, seeing that his eyes were flushed, he hurriedly said: "What's the matter?"
Xu Lanshan asked hoarsely: "Brother, can I ask a question."
"You ask."
"How important is this book of Yin and Yang to you?" Xu Lanshan raised his red eyes and stared at Zhang Feng intently.
Zhang Feng faintly had an ominous premonition, frowned and said: "Lanshan, you... the Yin-Yang Book is the treasure of our Yin-Yang Mountain School..."
So you can kill Gu Ping for those two broken books? !
Xu Lanshan gritted his teeth in his heart and asked, but he was about to swallow his teeth, so he resisted not to say it, and only sneered: "Yes, brother is right."
Zhang Feng looked at him with a complicated expression, and after a long time he frowned and asked, "Is it because of A Ping?"
Xu Lanshan's hand holding the cup tightened suddenly.
Seeing that his expression changed slightly, Zhang Feng knew that he was on point, but he thought that Xu Lanshan was just unable to accept Gu Ping's death for a while, so he said in a deep voice, "In any case, Brother Wei will definitely take care of his funeral. ,you also……"
Zhang Feng sighed: "My condolences will change."
Xu Lanshan scoffed in his heart, and stood up with a gloomy expression: "Brother, I still have some things to attend to, so I'm sorry."
Zhang Feng looked at the back of him leaving, his eyes gradually sank.
Three days before the sacrificial ceremony, people from all the famous sects will live in Yinyang Mountain, and the Yinyang Mountain sect is full of people.
Yin Yang Mountain has always been very low-key in the martial arts world, but it cannot be ignored at all. The foundation laid by the patriarch is thick enough. As long as these young people don't squander it, it is definitely enough for Yin Yang Mountain to gain a foothold in the vast martial arts world.
Zhai Tianlan is kind and gentle by nature, and he never likes to make great achievements. When Yinyang Mountain was under his power, it was always tepid, but it was also very peaceful.with Quartet
Xu Lanshan watched their leaving backs, suddenly closed his eyes weakly, raised his head, and let out a long sigh.The texture of the yin and yang book in his hand is so real, constantly reminding him that what he has always wanted to accomplish for his brother has finally come true.
But I always feel that something doesn't seem right.
Zhai Zifeng carried Qi An on his back and fled eastward all the way, but because Qi An was covered in blood now, it was too ostentatious to walk into the city, so Zhai Zifeng took him to find a ruined temple in the countryside to rest temporarily.
Zhai Zifeng carefully helped him down, seeing that his whole face was pale, he couldn't help becoming nervous again: "Did you hurt the inside?"
Qi An nodded with some difficulty, and untied his lapel with trembling fingers, only to see a large piece of hideous purple-red blood on his fair chest that hadn't seen the sun all year round.
Zhai Zifeng was stunned, stretched out his hand to press it carefully, and felt his pulse again: "...It's not bad, the bones are not broken, although the internal organs are a little bit injured, but it should be fine after a while."
The strength of the walking corpse was frighteningly strong, Qi An had used enough internal strength to bear the punch, if it was an ordinary person, his internal organs would have been ripped apart.But fortunately, there was a layer of clothes in between, and the walking corpse did not directly touch the skin, otherwise, if it was infected with corpse poison, it might not be so simple.
Qi An breathed a sigh of relief, and teased, "I was scared to death..."
Zhai Zifeng's eye sockets were sore, and he muttered, "It's okay to say."
The most troublesome thing right now is his arm.Qi An himself took it twice and failed to connect it, most likely because the bone in the joint was injured, and Zhai Zifeng gasped in pain when he touched him lightly.
Zhai Zifeng cut a piece of wood for him, then firmly supported his elbow, compared the position slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Hold it." Qi An is a soldier, and never feels such a small injury There is nothing to make a fuss about Xiaotong, but when Zhai Zifeng forcefully straightened the bone back for him with a "clack", he still couldn't help but groan in pain.
It's not a big deal, but it really hurts.
After setting the bone, Zhai Zifeng took out a small bottle of medicine, applied it on his elbow joint, tore off a piece of fabric from his own clothes, and wrapped the wooden board tightly around his arm.The most troublesome part of this kind of injury is that the so-called injury can move the bone for a hundred days. Before the bone grows well, you can't move it.
Qi An pressed his left arm, which was almost numb, and forced a smile with the corners of his mouth: "Thank you."
Zhai Zifeng's complexion was not particularly good, he sneered, and said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense."
But while saying this, he still took out another medicine, poured it out carefully for him, and then gently applied it on the blood on his chest, and massaged the meridian and acupoints skillfully with his fingers. , to help him dissipate the silt.
But no matter how light Zhai Zifeng's hands are, it's impossible not to hurt, Qi An sullenly leaned on his body without saying a word, frowning slightly.
His knee was fine, probably just a twist, nothing major.By the time Qi An finished treating the wound, it was already dark.
Qi An was sweating profusely, lying on the straw mat on the right side with some exhaustion, Zhai Zifeng pinched his slightly frowning brow half-jokingly: "Is it better?"
Qi An nodded, his eyes gradually sank, and he suddenly asked: "The Yin-Yang book, do you really want it?"
Zhai Zifeng paused, and smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled: "If it's really mine, no one can take it away, and I'll take it back later."
Qi An shook his head with a smile, and said, "If Zhang Feng got the Yin-Yang book, would he let you go?"
Zhai Zifeng narrowed his eyes, smiled wryly and said, "As long as he knows that I am alive, he will never let me go."
"And," Zhai Zifeng said, "Isn't the golden seal still with me?"
Qi An let out a long sigh, some things are really not something you can hide from if you want to.
"Can I ask you a question?" Zhai Zifeng asked suddenly.
Qi An lifted his eyelids, and said lightly, "Ask."
Zhai Zifeng thought for a while and said, "How did you and my uncle meet?"
Qi An thought for a while, and recalled: "There was a war in the north, and I was shot by an arrow on the battlefield. For a solution, Chang Bin went to look for a miracle doctor everywhere, and then he found your uncle."
"He opened a pharmacy in the northern region back then, and he was very famous. He came to the barracks to take a look, gave me a few injections, and prescribed a few medicines for me, and he pulled me back from the gate of hell. I saw him as old and helpless back then, so I took him in as a guest and helped him open the drugstore bigger and bigger..."
Back then, Qi An promised to repay the kindness of dripping water, since the old man has no son or daughter, Qi An will help him to take care of him until his death.
"Before the old man left, he left me a bottle of Bi Anxiang. I didn't know what it meant at first, but I realized later..." Qi An smiled and sighed, "The old man is amazing, he thinks farther than I do."
At that time, he had been in trouble repeatedly in the court, and Zhai Tianyang probably knew that he would not be able to survive in the long run, so he left him such a way out.
Zhai Zifeng also finally understood why that old man Zhai Tianyang was willing to give Qi An his treasured Bianxiang incense all his life.
"What about after that?" Zhai Zifeng asked again, "What are you going to do?"
Qi An stared blankly at the roof for a while, then smiled and said, "Who knows?"
"Then why don't you go to southern Xinjiang?" Zhai Zifeng said a little sourly, "Why don't you go?"
"Southern Xinjiang? What's so good about Southern Xinjiang." Qi An wrinkled his nose, narrowed his eyes and said, "And do you think I'll be able to come back after I go there?"
Nanjiang County Prince's Mansion is not an inn, you can come and leave whenever you want, if you really go, I am afraid that you will never have a relationship with your homeland for the rest of your life.Zhai Zifeng remembered what he said to Chang Bin before - "I was born in Da'an and died in Da'an".
He was suddenly a little surprised to find that this kid who was about his own age, or even younger, had a disposition almost like an old man's. He was already thinking about returning to his roots when others were still thinking about traveling the world.
He doesn't care what the world thinks of him, or how the historian judges him, it seems that only when his bones are buried in the mountains and rivers of Da'an that he tried his best to protect, can he feel at ease.
This person seems to be at ease, but in fact he has long been firmly tied by the intertwined obsessions in his heart.
Zhai Zifeng looked at him with a complicated expression: "Did you really want to rebel?"
Qi An laughed, and half-jokingly said: "I thought about it, but I didn't do it. I am the king of Beisu, with 50 elite soldiers and cavalry. If I really embraced my own self-respect, the country would have changed hands long ago."
Although this sounds a bit boastful, it is true.In fact, sometimes Qi An himself felt that the emperor was right to kill, otherwise if he was allowed to continue to sit on the throne, even Qi An himself didn't know if he could restrain his desire.
With such a strong military force back then, if he said that he had no disobedience at all, I'm afraid even he himself would not believe it.
And the Son of Heaven is the root of a dynasty, and must not be moved rashly.
In the end, just in case, the emperor pressed him to death in the soil before his signs showed.
Now that success or failure has turned his head, he originally thought that even if he was accused of being a traitor and traitor, he would not be famous forever, at least he would be infamous for thousands of years.But he never expected that in such a short time after his death, the defense of the northern border would soon be topped up by the younger generation he trained himself, and the world would be safe and peaceful.
As for the title of King Beisu, no matter how thunderous it was back then, it is rarely mentioned now.
The hero of the whole life, where is he now?
At the end of the matter, Qi An suddenly realized that Da'an could live without him, but he couldn't live without Da'an.
After thinking about it, Qi An couldn't help a wry smile, his eyes were slightly red, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I, Qi Changning, have been a soldier and horse all my life, protecting rivers and rivers for generations, and I have nothing else to ask for."
He gritted his teeth for the next few words. Qi An didn't dare to speak nonsense if he really had nothing to ask for back then, but now at least the country he guarded is still not lost, and he also feels that this is enough.
Return to the most essential original intention, and then laugh at the twists and turns of the past.
At this time Zhai Zifeng saw Qi An crying for the first time, two lines of tears could not stop rolling down from his eyes.Zhai Zifeng crawled and pressed on his wound, half lying beside him and stayed with him all night.
until dawn.
☆、Gu Ping
When Xu Lanshan went down the mountain with the book of Yin and Yang, Gu Ping had been waiting for him on the mountainside for a long time.
"Brother." Xu Lanshan called him, and seemed to be in a good mood.
There was no expression on Gu Ping's face. Holding a lantern in his hand, he looked at the disciples of Yinyang Mountain behind Xu Lanshan, and said to Xu Lanshan, "Take a step to talk."
Xu Lanshan didn't doubt that he was there, so he asked Ren Lin and the others to wait in place with others, and followed Gu Ping to the depths of the forest.
When the shadows of those Yinyang Mountain disciples could no longer be seen, Gu Ping stopped, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you got the Yinyang book?"
Xu Lanshan nodded, took out the two yin and yang books he had snatched from Zhai Zifeng from his bosom, and added: "I didn't kill him."
Gu Ping didn't say a word, took the book of Yin-Yang and looked at it - well, it is indeed true.
"Brother called me here, what do you want to say?" Xu Lanshan asked suspiciously.
Gu Ping was stunned for a moment, then smiled, stretched out a hand and patted the back of Xu Lanshan's neck lightly: "Actually, it's nothing."
When Xu Lanshan heard it, he felt like he was being teased. He was about to complain when he suddenly felt a tingling pain in the back of his neck, followed by a tingling sensation like a tide.
Xu Lanshan's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "You..."
Gu Ping helped him to sit beside a tree, and the lantern was placed by his hand, casting a thick black shadow on half of his face.There was an indescribable sadness in Gu Ping's eyes, he sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Listen, senior brother won't harm you."
Xu Lanshan opened his mouth viciously, as if he wanted to scold something, but his tongue was numb, he couldn't speak, saliva flowed down the corner of his mouth, no matter how he looked, he was in a mess.
Gu Ping continued: "I'm telling you now that maybe you won't understand, but listen, the book of Yin and Yang must not be given to Zhang Feng."
After speaking, he took Xu Lanshan, who was already unconscious, into his arms and hugged him, patted him on the back lightly, and comforted him: "The potency of this medicine is only for one hour, don't be afraid."
After he finished speaking, Xu Lanshan had passed out completely. He put Xu Lanshan down, put the lantern by his hand, got up, turned around and left.
Gu Ping didn't dare to stop for a moment on the road. He didn't know where Zhai Zifeng had fled to, so he could only find a place to avoid the limelight for a while, but he felt something was wrong as soon as he got off the mountain.
He felt like someone was following him!
Gu Ping walked around a few times, but he couldn't shake it off. It felt like the whole city was staring at him...
It took Xu Lanshan an hour to wake up, his body was still a little limp, and there were a few disciples from Yinyang Mountain guarding him.
Xu Lanshan asked sullenly, "Where's Gu Ping?"
Seeing that he woke up, a disciple quickly brought over a bowl of water and replied, "Senior Brother Ren and Senior Brother Huang have already gone after him."
What Gu Ping said before leaving still lingered in Xu Lanshan's mind like a curse, disturbing him.Xu Lanshan was furious and confused, why did Gu Ping do such a thing.
Ren Lin and Huang Du didn't come back once they left. Xu Lanshan waited until the middle of the night, when he felt that things seemed to be out of control, and then hurriedly led people down the mountain to look for them.
They searched for a long time, and when they finally found Gu Ping, he was already dead—his head was gone, Xu Lanshan only recognized it based on the body, the whole alley was covered with blood, and there was a burst of blood. The pungent fishy smell made people's scalp numb.
Xu Lanshan's legs were almost limp, his mind was like a frying pan, and he followed like a demon, rolling and crawling towards him.
He looked at the headless corpse in disbelief, reached out and wiped the dried blood from the broken neck, and called tentatively: "Senior brother?"
The head is gone, how can I answer.
Only then did Xu Lanshan belatedly realize that Senior Brother Gu was no longer there, and he was gone before he could figure out what was going on.His eyes were red, and tears were streaming down his face.
The disciples of Yinyang Mountain had never seen Xu Lanshan cry so hard, one of them couldn't stand it anymore, and cautiously came up to remind him: "Brother Xu, that Yinyang book..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Lanshan yelled violently without looking back: "Get out!!!"
The disciple didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly retreated.
However, during the post-mortem examination, no Yin-Yang book was found on Gu Ping's body, and Xu Lanshan knew that the Yin-Yang book must no longer exist the first time he saw the corpse.
Otherwise, if it wasn't for this reason, why would Gu Ping be moved?
Xu Lanshan asked tremblingly, "Where are Ren Lin and Huang Du?"
A disciple replied: "I didn't come back..."
Xu Lanshan's staring eyes were bloodshot, and his trembling hands were tightly clenched into fists.
After a night's rest, Zhai Zifeng helped Qi An back to the city, and as soon as he entered the city, a small scout from Northern Xinjiang came to him. Since the whole of Monan was Chang Bin's eyeliner, if he wanted to find Qi An, it would not be What a problem.
The little scout asked Qi An to go to the Sunset Tower again, although Qi An said he didn't know what was going on with Chang Bin, he still agreed.
It was still the same Luming Pavilion as last time, and Chang Bin came to him excitedly with a wooden box in his hand.
Qi An raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Why, what's so happy about it?"
Chang Bin sat down opposite him in a good mood, and said happily, "Two pieces of good news for you."
"Oh?" Qi An said, "There are two more? Let's hear."
Chang Bin happily said: "The Huns have withdrawn their troops!"
Qi An was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "Yes."
Chang Bin rubbed his hands happily, and then said: "Another thing, it's like this, yesterday my eyeliner told me that someone was following you."
When he heard this, Qi An's face froze, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Chang Bin: "You guys went up the mountain all the way, and I sent people to wait in ambush in the city at the foot of the mountain. Last night, I slaughtered a single person. You can take a look."
Qi An's complexion darkened, and Zhai Zifeng also felt that something was wrong: "A single one?"
Chang Bin brought the wooden box in front of them, and put Yulu oil on the outside of the box. If this kind of thing is not used to suppress body odor, then it is used to remove fishy smell.
Chang Bin opened the box, and there was a human head inside.
——Gu Ping!
Before Qi An could react, Zhai Zifeng jumped up and even knocked over the teacup on the table in front of him, splashing hot tea everywhere.Qi An knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly got up and grabbed his arm before he lost control: "Zifeng!"
Zhai Zifeng stared at Chang Bin with wide eyes, crying and laughing in his heart... How did things become like this?
Looking at this posture, Chang Bin also understood that he probably killed the wrong person, so he raised his head and looked at Qi An at a loss: "Chang Ning..."
Qi An was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he just nodded and said: "Farewell" and dragged Zhai Zifeng out without hesitation.
After Zhai Zifeng went back, he stood by the window for most of the night. Chang Bin came to look for him a few times, but was forcibly sent away by Qi An.
After all, he can't blame him for it.
Qi An sat at the table and waited for Zhai Zifeng's reaction, and waited until the sky was getting brighter before the big statue of Zhai Zifeng moved slightly.
He squirmed a bit because he hadn't moved for a long time and didn't get wet, so his lips were dry and cracked, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I want to go back to Yinyang Mountain."
Seeing that he had some reaction, Qi An breathed a sigh of relief, and responded in a neutral manner: "I'll be with you."
☆, back to Chujiang
After all, he can't blame him for it.
Qi An sat at the table and waited for Zhai Zifeng's reaction, and waited until the sky was getting brighter before the big statue of Zhai Zifeng moved slightly.
He squirmed a bit because he hadn't moved for a long time and didn't get wet, so his lips were dry and cracked, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I want to go back to Yinyang Mountain."
Seeing that he had some reaction, Qi An breathed a sigh of relief, and responded in a neutral manner: "I'll be with you."
No one was chasing and killing when I went back, so it was much faster than when I came.It took almost two months for them to go north, but it took less than a month when they came back.
By the time they returned to Chujiang, it was already scorching midsummer.
Chuzhou was originally known for its extreme heat and humidity, and now it was catching up with the raging fire in July, and Zhai Zifeng wished he would have to pour cold water several times a day to get over it.
Yinyang Mountain is just south of Chuzhou City, ten days later there will be a mountain sacrifice ceremony, which is the annual festival of Yinyang Mountain, and famous schools from all over the world will come.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Feng is eager to find the Yin-Yang Book. As the master of the mountain, he doesn't even have the Yin-Yang Book, which is the treasure of the town school, and he has never practiced Yin-Yang Styles, and he doesn't even have the Yin-Yang Book at hand. All gold seals are imitations.
The elders in Yinyang Mountain couldn't stand it for a long time, and forced him to give an explanation every year. At the beginning, he took advantage of the limelight of Zhai Zifeng's murder of his master, and took advantage of the anger of the disciples in the mountain to actually control Yinyang Mountain for several years. But after a long time, everyone gradually forgot all kinds of things back then, and then remembered the problem of him as the head.
Zhang Feng was neither Zhai Tianlan's personal first disciple before, nor had he ever practiced Yin-Yang Style, so he was almost riding the wind. After the limelight passed, he became more and more difficult to convince the crowd.
What's more, some people will think, since everyone is not the first disciple, why can't you and I can't?
In addition, Yinyang Mountain does not exist alone in the world, but also has close contacts with various famous and decent sects. If he does not give an explanation to everyone at this mountain sacrifice ceremony, I am afraid that not only him, but even the entire Yinyang Mountain will not be able to do so. better off.
Zhang Feng built a bamboo hut in Yinyang Villa, which was specially used for cooling off in summer. On weekdays, few people would come, unless he personally summoned him, otherwise no one would dare to bother him.
That day he was making tea alone in the bamboo house, but there were three cups on the table.The silver pot is boiled with white leaf tea, which is a specialty of Chujiang River, and it is also his favorite drink on weekdays, but he doesn't drink it very often after becoming the head of the house.
Hearing footsteps not far away, Zhang Feng knew that someone was coming, so he filled the three cups with tea in a leisurely manner, then got up leisurely, and turned around with a smile: "Ren Lin, Huang ferry."
Ren Lin and Huang Du rushed to Yinyang Mountain ahead of Xu Lanshan and the others. When they found Gu Ping, Gu Ping was already dead, but luckily the Yinyang Book was still on him.The two were afraid that there would be another incident, so they rushed back to report to Zhang Feng without notifying Xu Lanshan.
The two took a step forward, bowed their hands respectfully and said: "Master."
"It's really hard work," Zhang Feng greeted him with a smile on his face, "How is the situation?"
Ren Lin took out two undamaged yin and yang books from his bosom, put them in front of Zhang Feng with both hands, nodded and said: "Please read it, master."
Zhang Fengsha happily took over the Yin-Yang book, a strange look flashed in his pair of phoenix eyes, and then he put on a kind smile: "Thank you, both of you."
After speaking, he turned back and put the Yin-Yang book back on the table in the bamboo house, then he handed two cups of tea to the two, and then he picked up another cup, cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to you, this treasure of the town can be obtained." Returning to Yinyang Mountain, I will definitely be able to revitalize the mountain again, Zhang here is using tea instead of wine, a toast to the two of you!"
Ren Lin smiled sincerely, nodded and said, "I am ashamed to be late."
Huang Du glanced at Ren Lin beside him, and then at Zhang Feng. He always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't quite understand it. Seeing that Zhang Feng had already drank it all in one gulp, he had no choice but to drink it up in one gulp.
Zhang Feng smiled, invited the two of them to sit down in the bamboo house, and said with concern: "Is there anything wrong with this journey?"
Ren Lin smiled and said: "If you return to the head, everything will be fine for us."
Zhang Feng smiled: "The two young talents must be gods blocking and killing gods and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddha."
Ren Lin smiled embarrassingly, and said, "The master's reputation is too high."
"Where?" Zhang Feng waved his hands cheerfully, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, and asked, "You snatched this yin and yang book from Zhai Zifeng?"
Ren Lin smiled and said, "I'm ashamed to be late, but most of this is due to Junior Brother Xu."
Zhang Feng let out a long sigh, and asked again: "Then besides you, who else has touched this yin and yang book?"
"Other than Junior Brother Xu, there is only Senior Brother Gu." Ren Lin thought for a while, and said, "But...Senior Brother Gu is dead."
"Dead?" Zhang Feng's expression changed, and the hand holding the cup couldn't help shaking, instinctively feeling that something was wrong, "What's going on?"
Ren Lin sighed and explained: "After Senior Brother Xu got the Yin-Yang Book, Senior Brother Gu stunned him for some reason and forcibly took away the Book of Yin-Yang. ..."
Zhang Feng frowned, and hurriedly asked: "Do you know who did it?"
Ren Lin shook his head, and Huang Du also said, "I'm ashamed to be late, I don't know."
Zhang Feng sighed, murmured "What a pity", then he didn't know what to think about, and asked as if worried: "Then... what about Lanshan? Is he injured?"
Ren Lin said: "Well, please rest assured, Master Xu is in good health, and should be back within two days."
Only then did Zhang Feng heave a sigh of relief, and after drinking the white leaf tea in the cup, he dusted off his robe and stood up.He walked towards the outside of the bamboo house without saying anything, Ren Lin was feeling strange, and just as he was about to look back, he suddenly felt his throat tighten.
With a chill in his heart, he suddenly turned his head to look at Huang Du beside him, and saw that the man was also at a loss, with blood gushing out from the seven orifices continuously.
Qiqiao Fenghou San.
When Ren Lin fell to the ground bleeding from his seven orifices, he saw Zhang Feng walking away without turning his head for the last time.
The white leaf tea can cover the smell of the medicine. Ordinary people will put some bitter medicine in it when they feed the children. No wonder they can't smell the poison in the white leaf tea soup.
Zhai Zifeng arrived in Chujiang after that. In the first few days of his arrival, he was in a state of confusion all day long. Finally, he returned to the inn only five days before the grand ceremony. He rushed to Qi An and moved out.
For a while, Qi An didn't quite understand what was going on, and with the Xiaotian dog in his arms, which had grown like a piglet, he followed Zhai Zifeng outside without knowing it: "What's wrong?"
Zhai Zifeng dragged him onto Chujiang Street without any explanation: "Go see someone."
Qi An asked suspiciously, "Who?"
"You've seen it before," Zhai Zifeng turned around and smiled at him, "My senior sister, Jiang Gong."
Qi An's expression froze, and when this woman was mentioned, he couldn't help but feel numb, and asked dryly, "Why are you looking for her?"
As soon as Zhai Zifeng saw his expression, he knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help saying happily: "Why, with that expression, she can't eat you."
Qi An was expressionless.
Zhai Zifeng grabbed him, grabbed the dog by the back of the neck and threw it down, he smiled and took Qi An's hand: "You are mine now, she dare not touch you again."
The Xiaotian dog, who was forcibly thrown off behind him, rushed up and bit Zhai Zifeng's trouser leg in dissatisfaction. Zhai Zifeng said "ah" exaggeratedly, and then took out a chicken bone from his purse and threw it to it—the one that he remembered to eat The dog let go of the "enemy" resolutely and happily put the chicken bone in his mouth.
Qi An pulled his hand back, gave him a blank look by the way, and said, "Speak seriously."
Zhai Zifeng shrugged boredly: "She is going to participate in the mountain sacrifice ceremony, and we have to rely on her to get in."
It was rare for Jianggong to show her face once, and Yinyang Mountain also arranged the best accommodation for her—Xianluan Tower in the south of the city.She brought quite a lot of people this time, most of them were young and beautiful women. When Zhai Zifeng and Qi An came, Jiang Gong had already prepared a large table of food and wine.
As soon as Qi An came in, he saw her gracefully raising Xijuan'er in her hand to him, and she even gave him a wink: "Long time no see, young master."
Qi An: "..."
Zhai Zifeng moved a few steps to the side calmly, standing in the middle of the sight of the two, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, why don't you say hello to me?"
Jiang Gong rolled her eyes deliberately as if joking, and said with a coquettish smile, "What is so rare about you?"
Zhai Zifeng smiled cheekily and led Qi An to his seat very naturally.Jiang Gong's eyes fell on Zhai Zifeng's hand, and then he smiled calmly, and said teasingly, "Is Zifeng going well these days?"
Zhai Zifeng smiled mercilessly: "Senior sister is joking."
Jiang Gong shrugged with a smile, then picked up two flat wooden boxes from the soft seat beside her: "No, what you want."
There are two wooden boxes, Zhai Zifeng and Qi An, each containing two extremely fine human skin masks.
Jiang Gong said: "You can also help me if you want, but when you follow me, you must tell me before doing anything."
Zhai Zifeng hooked the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "That's natural."
The three of them moved their chopsticks while they were talking, eating and chatting, Jiang Gong couldn't help sighing in the middle: "You, you, I just can't let it go."
Zhai Zifeng knew that she was kind, no matter how much he resisted in his heart, he just smiled on his face: "Zifeng is ordinary."
Jiang Gong smiled helplessly, turned to look at Qi An, half joking and half serious: "Zifeng has been taken care of by you."
Qi An smiled without saying a word, and offered her a glass of wine.
Not everyone can have nothing outside of them. Zhai Zifeng is a man in the world, and so is Qi An. After all, he can't escape the shackles of that little obsession.Fortunately, there is someone who is always by my side.
☆、Yin Yang Mountain
Zhai Zifeng knew that she was kind, no matter how much he resisted in his heart, he just smiled on his face: "Zifeng is ordinary."
Jiang Gong turned her head to look at Qi An helplessly, and said half jokingly and half seriously: "Zifeng has been taken care of by you."
Qi An smiled without saying a word, and offered her a glass of wine.
Not everyone can have nothing outside of them. Zhai Zifeng is a man in the world, and so is Qi An. After all, he can't escape the shackles of that little obsession.Fortunately, there is someone who is always by my side.
Three days before the grand ceremony, Xu Lanshan rushed back to Chujiang with a group of Yinyangshan disciples. He burned Gu Ping's body in the northern border, put the ashes in a small box and brought them back to Chujiang.
Gu Pingcai died as soon as he took away the Yin-Yang book, Ren Lin, Huang Du and Yin-Yang book disappeared, no matter how innocent Xu Lanshan was, he would still understand the matter by now.
What Zhai Zifeng said to him once, and what Gu Ping said to him last before leaving, made him have to re-examine it.Xu Lanshan was a little dazed from time to time along the way, he thought that even if these two people really knew something, they would never reveal a word to him.In fact, Xu Lanshan knew in his heart that Zhai Zifeng was always protecting him, and Gu Ping was always protecting him, but this kind of protection, like that of a child, made him more and more painful.
You must know what you should know, Xu Lanshan thought, Gu Ping tried every means to mediate between him and Zhai Zifeng before his death, but he was unwilling to tell him a word.
When Zhai Tianyang left, Zhang Feng said that he was so hurt by the death of the sect leader that he went mad, and even sent a large number of Yinyang Mountain disciples to search around. After so many years, no one was alive or dead.
How could Zhai Tianyang, the dignified second in command of Yinyang Mountain, be crazy if he said he was crazy.
At the beginning Xu Lanshan did not know, and was dazzled by the grief of the death of his mentor. Even though he felt that Zhang Feng's explanation was a bit far-fetched, he still did not suspect him in the end.
Thinking about it now, it's really stupid.
He put together all kinds of threads from the past to the present, and a somewhat vague outline slowly appeared in his mind.In fact, these clues have been by his side for so many years, but he chose to believe in Zhang Feng, so he ignored them all.Or maybe he hated Zhai Zifeng too much, so he willfully put all the responsibility on Zhai Zifeng.
He could have been so self-willed, but it's a pity that Gu Ping is gone.
When he returned to Yinyang Mountain, the entire Yinyang Villa was busy preparing for the mountain sacrifice ceremony.The altar was almost set up, and Zhang Feng was busy with entertainment all day long, so it was difficult to see anyone from morning till night.
At that time, he was negotiating with the head of the Liushan Sword Sect. During the break, a young disciple told him that Xu Lanshan had returned to the villa. The members of the Sword Sect chatted briefly, then politely said goodbye impatiently.
"Lanshan," he excitedly walked towards the bamboo house, and the people sitting beside the table heard the movement, stood up quietly and cupped their hands and said, "Master."
Zhang Feng had already gone up to meet him, supported Xu Lanshan's shoulders to let him sit down, and complained with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's only been out for a long time, why are you so divided?"
"There is no one else here, call me brother." Zhang Feng poured him a cup of tea himself in a good mood, "Come on, take your time, this trip has been hard."
Xu Lanshan looked at the cup filled with tea that was handed over in front of him, but didn't pick it up right away. He raised his eyes to look into Zhang Feng's eyes, and then lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you, brother."
After speaking, he took the cup of tea and took a sip.
Zhang Feng mumbled and asked warmly as if talking to himself, seeing Xu Lanshan's mixed responses, and realizing that his expression didn't seem right, he asked with concern, "What's the matter? But you're in a bad mood?"
"No," Xu Lanshan smiled, pulling the corners of his mouth, "Thank you brother for your concern."
Xu Lanshan's deliberate unfamiliarity made Zhang Feng feel very uncomfortable, and then his face darkened: "If there is anything inappropriate, you can tell brother Wei."
Xu Lanshan was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "Did you get the Yin-Yang book?"
Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I got it, thanks to Lanshan."
Xu Lanshan didn't say anything, he just stared at the tea soup in the cup, his fingertips trembling slightly.Zhang Feng stared at him for a while, seeing that his eyes were flushed, he hurriedly said: "What's the matter?"
Xu Lanshan asked hoarsely: "Brother, can I ask a question."
"You ask."
"How important is this book of Yin and Yang to you?" Xu Lanshan raised his red eyes and stared at Zhang Feng intently.
Zhang Feng faintly had an ominous premonition, frowned and said: "Lanshan, you... the Yin-Yang Book is the treasure of our Yin-Yang Mountain School..."
So you can kill Gu Ping for those two broken books? !
Xu Lanshan gritted his teeth in his heart and asked, but he was about to swallow his teeth, so he resisted not to say it, and only sneered: "Yes, brother is right."
Zhang Feng looked at him with a complicated expression, and after a long time he frowned and asked, "Is it because of A Ping?"
Xu Lanshan's hand holding the cup tightened suddenly.
Seeing that his expression changed slightly, Zhang Feng knew that he was on point, but he thought that Xu Lanshan was just unable to accept Gu Ping's death for a while, so he said in a deep voice, "In any case, Brother Wei will definitely take care of his funeral. ,you also……"
Zhang Feng sighed: "My condolences will change."
Xu Lanshan scoffed in his heart, and stood up with a gloomy expression: "Brother, I still have some things to attend to, so I'm sorry."
Zhang Feng looked at the back of him leaving, his eyes gradually sank.
Three days before the sacrificial ceremony, people from all the famous sects will live in Yinyang Mountain, and the Yinyang Mountain sect is full of people.
Yin Yang Mountain has always been very low-key in the martial arts world, but it cannot be ignored at all. The foundation laid by the patriarch is thick enough. As long as these young people don't squander it, it is definitely enough for Yin Yang Mountain to gain a foothold in the vast martial arts world.
Zhai Tianlan is kind and gentle by nature, and he never likes to make great achievements. When Yinyang Mountain was under his power, it was always tepid, but it was also very peaceful.with Quartet
