To live, you still need something.The quantity may become very small, but because of the small amount, it becomes more and more precious.
Rowan's tone was dry. "I will cut you to pieces."
The young man laughed loudly, and saw hidden weapons falling on them in all directions in the building like shining raindrops.Luo Wan protected Qubieyu behind his back, turned the long saber, three feet away from him, the hidden weapons fell one after another.Almost at the same time, eight big men jumped down from upstairs.
Luo Wan only said three words, "Close your eyes!"
Qu Bieyu was a step late.Luo Wan's knife had split the head of a man, the man's head was almost split in two, he fell forward and crushed Qu Bieyu.The Luoyan Saber moved like a dragon and snake, opened and closed wide, cut off another man's waist, removed an arm of a third man, and slashed his throat again.In an instant, the building was full of corpses.
Qu Bieyu lifted the corpse on his body, wiped the blood and brains dripping from his face, looked at everything in front of him in astonishment, and vomited uncontrollably.
Rowan was still standing there, the tip of the knife was still facing the boy.
He didn't seem to have moved half a step.
The young man's handsome smile seemed to have stiffened a bit.
He must have heard that Luoyan Dao can kill people, Luoyan Dao is good at killing people, what's more, Luoyan Dao is good at killing people.
But what none of these legends mention is that once the Luoyan knife is out of its sheath, it is much easier to kill than not to kill!
He clapped his hands suddenly a few times and said, "It seems that you are in good condition today."
Luo Wan said: "I drank the wine and vomited again."
He glanced at Qu Bieyu who had collapsed on the ground, and said, "He has never been able to tell lies since a long time ago."
The boy smiled and said, "Fortunately, I didn't expect much from him in the first place."
Luo Wan said: "You should bring the hostages and force me to commit suicide on the spot, perhaps the most effective way."
The boy suddenly changed color, and said sharply: "No need!"
With a clear whistle, he has already flew up, with a long sword in his left hand and a short sword in his right hand, the two sword lights are like a waterfall of snow, pressing towards Luo Wan.When the swords intersected, Rowan took a step back.
It's a genius.
He'd seen a lot of these prodigies in his teens.He followed his father to visit martial arts families everywhere, and he often tried his best to fight against these people.
These people can understand a little bit, or even draw inferences about things, he needs to chew silently for a long time before his body can catch up with the mental reaction.The biggest gain he has gained through these fights is that he is not a member of the Wizards.
This young man's comprehension of two-handed swords and his mastery of timing made him faintly think of those extremely intelligent children of aristocratic families, the kind of envy that is naturally unattainable.And that kind of tricky and novel angle is the courage and ruthlessness that only young people who have just come out of the rivers and lakes possess.
Since that accident, he has faced many martial arts masters with profound skills as a challenger, but now he himself has become the one being challenged.Rowan had no doubt that many tigers had already fallen under the hooves of this newborn calf.
What's more, in his hand he still holds a legendary torture that kills without counting and is invincible.
The wind of the sword is sharper, the momentum of the sword is denser, and the path of the sword is more poisonous.Luo Wan's clothes and even his skin had already been scratched by him in many places, which really gave the illusion of being Ling Chi.
However, he never deviated from the direction of the knife at all.
The two swords once again intersected.Luo Wan pushed back with his backhand, forcing the long sword back, and the tip of the knife stabbed obliquely at the boy's chest.The young man poured his strength into it, and Xing Lu knocked on the exposed back of the Luoyan Knife, only to hear a crisp sound, Luo Wan's hand suddenly lightened, and the Luoyan Knife broke and fell to the ground.The young man's face showed ecstasy, unexpectedly Luo Wan's saber did not change, Xing Lu hurriedly slashed again, cutting off the blade at the root, Luo Wan only had the hilt in his hand, but still sent half of the saber into the young man's chest .
At the same time, his heart sank suddenly.
He heard Qubieyu's exclamation.The exclamation was mingled with fear, worry and despair.
He knew that there were more than the three of them alive in the building.But he has no time to take care of it.
If there is a real winner in this battle, then he must be the loser!
However, after this exclamation, the building fell into silence, leaving only the thick smell of blood spreading.
Luo Wan turned around very slowly, still holding the handle of the Luoyan Saber in his hand.
Qu Bieyu was still sitting on the ground, and there was a person standing in front of him.
This man is lifting another man by the neck.Or rather, by the neck of a dead body.The corpse's throat was pinched in his hands, and the head and limbs were already limply hanging down.
When the man saw Luo Wan turning around, he moved very lightly. He put the corpse on the ground cherishingly, wiped his hands on the lapel of his shirt, and then saluted Luo Wan. The gesture was so loud that it was almost comical.
His face is also very funny, with a round head, a round figure, and two mustaches. He belongs to the type that can easily make children laugh, and it is even more funny when he is serious.
This person now said in a tone that was almost affectionate: "The Lord of the Thousand Feast Banquet invites Hero Luo to show you for a while."
Rowan looked at him silently.
The man hastily added: "We have arranged for Mr. Qu's family members, and we will see each other soon. Please don't worry about it. There is no one left here, and it will be cleaned up after Feishanglou."
He was still afraid that Luo Wan would not agree, so he said: "If it's not possible today, then tomorrow is also possible. My master is waiting for Luo Yan Dao to drive me anytime."
Luo Wan suddenly said: "What about the day after tomorrow?"
There was a knowing smile on the man's round face. "Come sooner rather than later."
Rowan said, "I'll go."
He stepped over the corpses on the ground and walked to the door.The door is half open, letting in the golden halo of the setting sun.He turned his head to look at Qu Bieyu who was sitting in a pool of blood, and he could no longer distinguish the expression of the other party under the backlight.
"Brother Qu, leave it alone."
The sound of the zither came mistyly across the water, after the first month, and through the layers of lotus leaves.
Luo Wan stepped onto the stone bridge, and everything around him began to dim as if washed by the sound of the piano.Even memory obediently begins to blur.
At the end of the stone bridge was a water pavilion, which was not lit up. With the dim moonlight, one could be seen lying on the slum, with a woman playing the piano sitting next to her.
When Luo Wan stepped into the pavilion, the person on the floor suddenly said: "You look very sad."
He didn't change his posture, and he was gently playing with something with his left hand supporting his head.
Luo Wan usually hates such smart people.But at the moment he simply nodded his head.
The person on the collapse slowly straightened his upper body, pointed to Luo Wan the bamboo pier of Concubine Xiang next to the stone table, asked him to sit down, and signaled the woman playing the piano to step back, and then said to Luo Wan: "I am Qian Shengyi, you can call me Qian Shengyi." Kindly, you can also call me Xiao Chenghou."
He had his clothes open, his black hair wrapped around his head, and his expression was relaxed and relaxed.The sunny and rainy colors of the day have disappeared at this time and here, and there is only a kind of silence and coolness that seems to be magnified by breathing.He looked at the back of the woman holding the piano from the other side, and suddenly asked: "Isn't Thirteen beautiful?"
Luo Wan said: "It's beautiful."
Qian Shengyi smiled and said: "I love listening to the piano, and if I am enslaved by things, I will inevitably have to pay a price."
Rowan said: "As long as you think it's worth it."
Qian Shengyi said: "I really want to know what was going on in the mind of the person who brought this thing to you."
Luo Wan said: "Maybe you can only ask him himself."
Qian Shengyi's eyes followed him to look at the thing he was playing with, and said, "Don't be surprised, before you brought this Wonderful Sound Silk Bamboo, I used to talk to people by reading lips like this."
Rowan said: "You don't seem to need it at all."
Qian Shengyi said: "Indeed, even few people around me know that I am deaf."
He laughed again: "But I still want to listen to the piano."
He gently put the Miaoyin silk bamboo into his ear, stared at Luo Wan, and said, "Why are you so sad? Although you lost the knife, you gained a priceless friend."
Luo Wan said: "But I can no longer be his friend."
Qian Shengyi said: "Even if you don't associate with him anymore, the torture in his hands will become the source of the disturbance from now on."
He pondered, and slowly said: "Maybe I should buy Xingsha."
Rowan looked down at the handle of the knife in his hand.
He has been holding it unconsciously until now, with no intention of letting it go.He wanted to scabbard it, but found it impossible.
When the blade was cut off, the sharp light refracted by the fresh edges appeared in front of his eyes again.
The knife that had accompanied him for ten years was now broken to pieces, yet his heart was so calm, as if the destruction of the knife was a more ridiculous joke than the sun rising from the west, and there was no need to question it.
Qian Shengyi looked at the wreckage of the famous Luoyan Saber with a respectful expression, and said, "You killed nine people today."
Rowan felt that what he said was quite right, and there was nothing to add, so he didn't answer.Qian Shengyi continued: "People are killing people every day in this world. I have even seen some people. If they don't kill people for a day, they can't eat or sleep. But he is not a devil, but an executioner."
Luo Wan said: "I may not have killed fewer people than him."
Qian Shengyi said: "You really believe that killing people will bring retribution."
Rowan said, "I believe it."
Qian Shengyi said: "But you killed people." His tone was very relaxed, not a question, but a friendly discussion.He seemed to feel that since he was in Jianghu, it was really embarrassing to say such a thing, but Luo Wan felt that maybe he had never killed anyone.
Luo Wan said: "Because I now know that there is someone like me who will suffer retribution."
What he said couldn't be more strange, but Qian Shengyi nodded in relief, took the pot and filled the cup.This pot is neither wine nor tea, but chilled sour plum soup, which is so refreshing that Luo Wan wants to know how to make it.
"In this case, I don't have to worry about it. I want to ask you to help me kill someone."
Rowan said, "I'm not a killer."
Qian Shengyi said: "Don't get me wrong. The boy you killed today was named Chao Lu, and the name is really appropriate; of course you already know that he is the guest who has been in the limelight for the past three days, and he seems to have countless Rare treasure. He is one of Qu Zhijun's most beloved confidantes. It really gives me a headache. Fortunately, he is still young. If another ten years pass, I may have to kneel down and beg him to spare my life. Help me get this A genius snuffed out in the cradle, and I can't thank you enough."
Luo Wan said: "You can do this yourself."
Qian Shengyi smiled and said: "You are wrong, I have never been able to do anything by myself."
Luo Wan said: "So you also want me to kill Qu Zhijun for you?"
Qian Shengyi stared at his fingers and said with emotion: "Although no doctor can explain the reason for my deafness; but I think if there is any root cause, it should be Mr. Qu Zhi."
"He poisoned you?"
"No, he was angry." Qian Shengyi said sadly.
He suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "I know you still won't simply agree to this, even if I'm [-]% sure that Qu Bieyu's matter was ordered by him. You may want to repay my affection in other ways; But you will agree soon, not only that, even if I stop you from killing him, you will definitely not agree. Don't worry, you can think about it slowly before you get a new knife in your hand. And no matter why you killed him in the end, I will still treat it as if you went for me, and this thing will be yours after all."
Rowan said, "What?"
Qian Shengyi said: "It's the reason for you to come to the Qianpin Banquet this time."
☆、Chapter Five Breaks the Formation
The half-closed door was also half-open, and the outside was an opaque dark blue.Ying Tianchang patted Zhou Chenglin's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "I will kill you later. Listen to me now."
After saying this, he stepped out the door first.
Weeping.cicadas sing.Grass.Wood.water.wind.
In this secluded place away from the world of mortals, there is nowhere to hide from the residual heat.Ying Tianchang suddenly realized that autumn is really here.
In the dark blue night, there stood nine young men holding swords. Although they were not uniform at a closer look, they could generally be described as outstanding in appearance.Feeling the straight and gentle gaze from behind, Ying Tianchang's will to leave this place became ten times stronger.
He took a few steps forward slowly, and entered into the encirclement of the sword array on his own initiative.Zhou Chenglin had no choice but to follow him, but always kept a cautious distance.
The nine swords were already pointed at the two of them, Ying Tianchang spread out his folding fan, and a few silver lights flew out with a strong wind.Not to be outdone, Zhou Chenglin drew his sword out of its sheath before Jianguang approached him, and forced the sword back with a loud clang.That saber is shorter than Luoyan Dao, with a wider blade, a steeper ridge, and a pure white edge, as thin as ice and snow.The boy on the opposite side was originally four or five years older than him, but he was intimidated by this momentum and didn't dare to attack rashly.
Ying Tianchang swung his fan away from Jianguang around him, secretly groaning in his heart.Zhou Chenglin's weight is clear to him at a glance, Yan Fengyue's education policy is only the word stocking, masters look at it casually, supervise and don't teach, Zhou Chenglin accepts miscellaneous learning, does not follow the rules, beats around without thinking, the master doesn't care, It is really possible for a young man like today who is not deeply involved in the world to be bluffed by him.However, he has learned from Luo Wan for the past few months, changed his past, and practiced from scratch. The foundation has not yet yielded results, and it is not like letting go before. Instead, his strength has been compromised. If it does not help, he will be thankful.
Ying Tianchang and both of them had to take care of each other, with a fan covering the left and right, but the water couldn't get in, so he had to pay attention to the flaws of the formation in his busy schedule.The formation is an ordinary gossip sword formation, the sword wielders have the same skills, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, after a long time, even martial arts masters will be trapped here to death, not to mention that he also brought a oil bottle, he felt exhausted, Ying Tianchang's figure was swaying. Walking to test the changes of the sword array, he suddenly shouted: "Jingmen!"
When Zhou Chenglin was in a hurry, he heard him yell, and subconsciously attacked in the direction of Jingmen.The young man swung his sword to block, his footsteps fluttered, his companions on the left and right raised their swords to help, Zhou Chenglin quickly backed up and bumped into Ying Tianchang's back.Ying Tianchang didn't stop for a moment, and shouted again: "Du Men!"
Zhou Chenglin smashed the can and threw it, and slashed straight with his knife.This time, the opponent was already prepared, instead of retreating, he cut the back of Zhou Chenglin's hand with a sword.Ying Tianchang didn't care about it, he put his fan together and pointed at the chest of one person, who was the weakest of the nine.Seeing a flash of cold light, the young man let out a miserable cry, and stepped back a few steps, the sword array froze for a moment, Ying Tianchang grabbed Zhou Chenglin's shoulder with one hand, and ran straight out of the gap.
Qu Zhijun stood on the stone steps in front of the door, Zhu Jinyi was in his arms, the two of them were watching, but seeing Ying Tianchang only shouted twice, all the young people lost their balance, Zhu Jin suddenly broke away, annoyed Stamped his feet and said: "Just say that Chaolu is not here, and there is one less person in the sword formation, how can Yuzhu replace him! Sure enough, it will only slow down. I want to go down."
Qu Zhijun smiled and said: "Don't make trouble, fighting and killing things are not suitable for you."
Zhu Jin pulled his sleeve and said coquettishly: "That man scared me just now, and then humiliated me. If you don't avenge me, don't I want to avenge myself?"
Qu Zhi Jun said: "Alright, I will avenge you."
He suddenly stretched out his robe sleeves, and his whole body fell lightly into the sword array like a big bird.
A burst of invisible pressure pressed towards Ying Tianchang's back.
This is not a pressure that can be escaped by closing your eyes and running around.
This pressure is like a shadow spreading from behind, the speed of devouring is much faster than the speed of escaping.
Ying Tianchang noticed this immediately, so he turned around and met Qu Zhijun's palm.
This palm did not have majestic power, but was soft and gloomy, like a bottomless whirlpool.Ying Tian was shocked and wanted to withdraw, but found that his palm had been glued.
He immediately cut the opponent's wrist with the fan, and Qu Zhijun's hand took his hand slightly to one side, and the fan just brushed against the sleeve.
Ying Tianchang felt his heart grow colder.
His fan is certainly not an ordinary fan, nor even an ordinary weapon; this folding fan named Yinshuang is sharper and more lingering than the coldest moonlight.
However, the tactile sensation transmitted to his hand holding the fan at that moment was as if it had crossed a piece of water as soft as silk, leaving no trace except for an illusory ripple.
Ying Tianchang gritted his teeth, and withdrew his palm suddenly, the opponent's palm force and his own palm force counterattacked, sending him flying, almost bringing Zhou Chenglin down.
However, when he landed, for some reason, his back turned to Qu Zhijun.Zhou Chenglin was still in shock, and he was already dragging him to run wildly!
A young boy next to him reacted the fastest, and stabbed him with flying body. Zhou Chenglin had no way to avoid it. Suddenly, his mind became hot, and he stabbed with his backhand.It seemed that he had seen this scene somewhere long ago, and this knife had already been pondered countless times.
He only felt that the blade had pierced into a soft obstacle, and when he pulled it out suddenly, scorching blood spattered onto his sleeve.
His hand holding the knife suddenly became weak, and his legs lost strength.Ying Tianchang realized that there was resistance in dragging him, and threw him on his back decisively. Zhou Chenglin's mind went blank, and he murmured: "I killed someone!"
Ying Tianchang comforted him while running: "Don't be afraid, you are not dead!"
No one hindered him.
Maybe someone actually stopped him.But in anyone's eyes, he is just a fleeting white light at this moment.
He ran for more than twenty miles in one breath, and then gradually slowed down. Zhou Chenglin hugged his neck tightly, and almost never strangled him out.
Ying Tianchang looked behind him, no one was chasing him, the wind was blowing the grass and trees all around, rustling, the flowing water was lingering, the black shadows were dark, the low mountains were silent and unfriendly, besides the occasional howls of animals, there seemed to be faint The voice seemed to be plotting how to deal with them.Or maybe it's just his delusion of being killed, and the valley just wants them to fend for themselves.
This is not a difficult task, especially when he suddenly finds himself lost.
He took a breath, almost stopped completely, and said with a smile, "Cheng Lin."
Zhou Chenglin froze visibly on his back; his hand had already been released at some point.
Ying Tianchang said: "What's the name of your knife?"
"Chasing Shadow." Zhou Chenglin replied bluntly.
Ying Tianchang said again patiently: "Tell me, if your master knows that you stabbed me with the knife he gave you, will he be very happy?"
Zhou Chenglin suddenly rolled off his back, and flung it vigorously, but couldn't shake off Ying Tianchang's hand clutching his wrist.
Chasing Shadow was in his hand, and the blade was still stained with fresh blood.
Ying Tianchang looked at the dark bushes around him, and even the transparent moonlight could not reveal the danger hidden there.He asked, "Do you know the way here?"
Zhou Chenglin said: "I don't know."
Ying Tianchang smiled and said, "Exactly, I don't know him either."
He swayed suddenly, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the stone by the road.
Zhou Chenglin didn't speak, but looked up at him with a cold passive resistance in his eyes.
Ying Tianchang knelt down on one knee, looked him in the eye, and said, "Little ancestor, I have something to discuss with you."
Zhou Chenglin nodded silently.
Ying Tianchang said: "I don't know what Mr. Qu Zhi said to you; but it is not worthwhile to kill me here. Even if you kill me, it is difficult for someone to get out of here? This is not far from Luoyang, but You have never been to Luoyang. Today you have to live in the mountains. What are there at night in the mountains? There are wolves! There are bears! There are tigers! Ahh, the kind that cannibalize people! You are also injured, and your legs are still too weak to walk. .Can you deal with it alone!"
Although Zhou Chenglin was still silent, his eyes clearly showed wavering.Ying Tianchang made persistent efforts: "What happened to your pavilion master, only you know now. If something happens to you, your pavilion master may be wronged! Look, there is a cave not far away. Let's go in first to make do with it for one night. It's dawn, I'll take you to Luoyang to find your master."
Zhou Chenglin looked at him, and suddenly said: "If you want to kill or cut, you said it."
Ying Tianchang said: "I said it, but not now."
Zhou Chenglin said: "Do you talk like that to everyone?"
Ying Tianchang said: "What are you thinking? I'm not a parrot."
Zhou Chenglin said, "Did you say the same to my father?"
Ying Tianchang paused, then smiled and said, "Your father is your father, and you are you."
He stood up and said, "Let's go."
Zhou Chenglin followed him into the cave. The inside was winding and deep, but it was not humid. There seemed to be an exit at the other end. Under the faint moonlight, it was difficult to distinguish the figure.Ying Tianchang took a few steps carefully while supporting the mountain wall, then turned around and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Zhou Chenglin shook his head.
Although Ying Tianchang couldn't see his movements clearly, he could guess fairly well, and said, "Okay, it happens that I didn't eat anything. Are you cold?"
Zhou Chenglin couldn't help saying: "Who would be cold in this weather?!"
Ying Tianchang said: "Okay, I just don't have the strength to start a fire anymore."
He sat cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes, and there was no movement for a moment.Zhou Chenglin ignored it at first, and lay down halfway against the stone wall, feeling sore all over.After a while, the cave became more and more quiet, and after eyes adapted to the darkness, they could gradually see Ying Tianchang's figure sitting in meditation, but even if he pricked up his ears, he couldn't hear his breathing.For anyone who knew Ying Tianchang, it was impossible for him to keep his mouth shut for so long.
Zhou Chenglin suddenly thought: "Is he dead?"
He had an urge to get up to have a look, but forced himself to stay where he was.
"No matter what, the scourge has been around for thousands of years, this person can't die like this." He thought.
But how should Ying Tianchang die?Compared with being hacked to death, stabbed to death, or really dying by a thousand swords, being defeated by him and then dying of shame (I have to say that he has imagined this scene quite a few times), this kind of death seems reasonable many.
He could hardly bear to step forward to lift Ying Tianchang's eyelids, or test his breath.
He was so absorbed in his wild thoughts and efforts of self-restraint that he didn't notice the approaching footsteps outside the cave.
Suddenly, there was a cracking sound, and a bright light flashed in front of him. Zhou Chenglin was so stimulated that he opened his eyes reflexively, but he saw a tall and thin old man standing in front of him, holding a torch and looking at him.
——Not looking at him, but looking at Ying Tianchang!
Zhou Chenglin was startled, and couldn't help but gasped.The old man turned his face and looked at him this time. His thin face and messy white hair looked even more eerie under the dancing firelight, like a ghost in a picture book.
He suddenly took a step closer, and Zhou Chenglin felt a blur in front of his eyes, and he had already strangled his neck, and said sharply, "Who are you! What do you have to do with him!"
Zhou Chenglin rolled his eyes from being pinched by him, struggling and said: "I...I don't recognize, I know!"
The old man snorted, and suddenly let go. Zhou Chenglin slammed the back of his head against the stone wall, gasping for breath, rubbing the red marks on his neck with his hands.The old man ignored him, just approached Ying Tianchang with a smirk.
Ying Tianchang remained unresponsive, even his hair remained motionless, looking like a lifeless stone statue.
"The outside of Jurong City was designed by you, I didn't expect to meet here again today..."
His voice was small and muffled, with a kind of cruel joy.Zhou Chenglin's hair was standing on end, and he subconsciously touched the handle of the knife, but suddenly came across a disgusting object.
He was taken aback.It was the needle box that Bo Chuancai gave him, and the body of the box was carved with deep and shallow patterns.He quietly took it out of his clothes, pressed his thumb on the hidden button on the side of the box, and pushed it forward slightly.
A burst of light burst out.
It's not that Zhou Chenglin has never seen hidden weapons.Gypsophila, pear blossom needles, funeral nails, and barbed wire, he has accumulated too much knowledge during the years when everyone in Fengyue Linlang Pavilion was too idle to throw hidden weapons at each other.
But he only realized how terrifying the gift he accepted was when he saw the cluster of rays of light!
The old man was hit in the back, screamed wildly, turned around suddenly, and rushed towards him.
Zhou Chenglin didn't even have the time to regret it, so he saw the old man slumped face down, and the fire went out.His body was already stiff when he fell, and a large cloud of dust was stirred up, and the dull reverberation reverberated endlessly in the darkness.
Zhou Chenglin waited for a while, then crawled up to his side tremblingly, and frantically touched the fire fold on the ground, shook it several times before it came out, and then tried to turn the corpse's face over.A trace of black blood had flowed from the facial features of the corpse.
Zhou Chenglin stayed for a while, then suddenly raised his head to look at Ying Tianchang.
Ying Tianchang sat there as if he was in a state of concentration, as if he was ignorant of all this.
He carefully opened the needle box.There was only one needle left, lying quietly on the red silk at the bottom of the box.He picked up the tail of the needle and walked towards Ying Tianchang step by step as if possessed by a demon.
Ying Tianchang didn't move.Maybe even if a hundred people were beating gongs and drums around him, he might not even move.
And as long as the needle is lightly dropped, he will never move again.
Under the beating firelight, his exposed neck looked fragile and defenseless, and even blue blood vessels could be seen.The temptation was so sweet, he hardly hesitated anymore.
The needle tip was only a few millimeters away from Ying Tianchang's skin.All he needs is one command!
"Chenglin."
Zhou Chenglin suddenly turned his head and looked at the entrance of the cave.There stood a tall figure.
Luo Wan's face remained calm, and he said: "If this needle goes in, the relationship between you and me as a teacher and student will be severed."
Zhou Chenglin's hands trembled more violently, but a surge of rage surged in his heart.He almost recklessly wanted to stick the needle into Ying Tianchang's neck, but his hand trembled so much that he couldn't drop it for a long time.
Ying Tianchang opened his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, Cheng Lin didn't want to kill me." He stood up, patted Zhou Chenglin's back, and said: "This thing is useful, but it's also dangerous, you'd better be careful. "
Zhou Chenglin said sharply: "He killed my father, I just...want revenge!"
Luo Wan said: "He saved you just now, if you have repaid your revenge, how can you repay your kindness? What's more, you are taking advantage of others' danger, a gentleman despises you."
Zhou Chenglin said: "I... I avenged him, and I will pay him back with my own life!"
Ying Tianchang's face became more and more ugly, and he shouted: "Enough!" He knocked Zhou Chenglin on the head, and cursed: "How big is a small thing, it will live and die all day long." Patting the dirt on his body, he went straight out, When passing by Luo Wan's side, he suddenly asked, "Where's your knife?"
Luo Wan said: "It's broken."
Not only Ying Tianchang, but also Zhou Chenglin lost his voice: "It's broken!?"
Luo Wan said coldly: "It's broken."
Ying Tianchang stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Stop it, we are brothers and sisters. If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come."
Luo Wan took a few steps forward, squatted down and looked at the old man's body, then turned around and asked, "Why is Yue Gaohan here?"
Ying Tianchang said: "I don't know either. It just happened to be a coincidence. Find some people to bury him tomorrow."
The two walked out of the cave, and the moonlight outside was bright and clear, illuminating the grass and trees into a faint rising smoke.Zhou Chenglin was frightened and fatigued for half a day, although he wanted to listen to the two of them talking, he finally fell asleep on Luo Wan's back.The two walked silently, even the insects stopped chirping, only the orderly footsteps were heard.
Luo Wan suddenly said: "What are you struggling with?"
Ying Tianchang smiled and said: "I was just thinking, I may not be able to do any of the gentleman's norms you mentioned just now, and I will sweat profusely."
Luo Wan said: "So you are not my apprentice."
Ying Tianchang cut him off. "Yes, I am your best friend."
He deliberately said affectionately, and successfully used a burst of nausea to stop Rowan's urge to question.Luo Wan looked at him and was speechless after all. He took out a small bamboo tube from his sleeve and lit it, only to see a peony-shaped fireworks explode in the air.
Ying Tianchang waited for him to finish all this before asking: "How do you know we are here?"
Luo Wan said: "The Lord of the Thousand Feast Banquet, Xiao Chengjun. He also arranged for people to help find it."
Ying Tianchang said: "I think there will be a lot of articles here."
Luo Wan turned to look at him, and said: "I think you will have a great adventure, in less than a day, you have changed your clothes."
Ying Tianchang's mind was ringing with alarm bells, so he could only smile and said, "How do you know that I just saved Cheng Lin?"
Luo Wan said: "Otherwise, what are you doing here for no reason?"
Ying Tianchang reflexively wanted to say that there were at least four words left, but then he thought it would be safer not to mention this, so he forcibly changed the topic and said, "I still want to count on you to coax him."
Luo Wan said: "Excuse me, shut up for now, I want to kill someone after hearing a word from you now."
Ying Tianchang pretended to be shocked. "What! You said you wouldn't kill me."
Luo Wan said: "If it is possible, I really want to kill you."
Ying Tianchang didn't answer, after a while, he said with a smile: "Don't kill me, okay?"
The tone was sincere and weak, as if people were helpless and could only pray, and let go and leave it to God, I really don't know the result.Rowan didn't look at him.He cannot look at him.
On the one hand, he felt that any request of his could be granted.On the other hand, he couldn't even say the good word.
He realized, almost with a kind of sadness, how much he had been tortured by this man.
reborn.It had nothing to do with the emotion that he didn't know when he started to deteriorate. He regarded it as a kindness, a responsibility, and a reason to go through fire and water.He believes that Ying Tianchang also prides himself on this.
It is impossible for him to regret it.It was still the clean line that split his time.But maybe all new life is just reincarnation, just the repetition of hallucinations that have changed their face, otherwise, why would he still gradually fall into this dirty, trivial, as if struggling in the mud, all-too-familiar in pain?
They came to the end of the path, and suddenly there was an open flat land in front of them.There was a carriage parked there, and the driver was waiting for them, and immediately carried Zhou Chenglin into the carriage.
Ying Tianchang looked at the vast town in the distance and the low mountains behind him, looked at the chariots and horses again, and finally asked, "Do you know the way?"
Luo Wan instantly felt that all his psychological struggles just now were purely asking for trouble, and said calmly, "I'm a local."
Ying Tianchang smiled and said, "Okay, I'm relieved now."
He seemed to want to say something, but suddenly he fell straight forward, and his forehead hit Rowan's shoulder heavily.
☆、Chapter evening sunshine
The sun is shifting under the bead curtain, and the slightly moist wind blows in, making people seem to see the endless blue sea under a sunny day.
The wind chimes under the eaves rang slightly, and the soft tone seemed to gently wake people up from their dreams, or send them into the deepest dreams.
The woman in the mirror is combing her hair.
Her skin was extremely white, and her hair was even blacker.Cheeks and fingers are like white jade.People who see her for the first time may not pay attention to her beauty first, but the completeness and cleanliness of this porcelain.
Bo Chuancai looked at her in a daze.Only half of her sleeve fell into the mirror, and it was a corner of a red flame, which was a wonderful embellishment in the originally colorless pattern except black and white.
"You're still beautiful," she said, like a sigh. "You have been so beautiful since a long time ago. I was just a fluffy girl back then. When I saw you, I thought you were a fairy in the sky. The next day, I ran away from marriage."
The woman smiled; this smile was extraordinary, as if a beautiful doll suddenly had an expression, and it was the spring breeze blowing open the frozen pear blossoms.Bo Chuancai stared at this smile obsessively, as if fascinated.
"Don't confuse it. Even if you don't see me, you will still run away from marriage."
"Yes." Bo Chuancai admitted gently. "When I was 15 years old, I told you that I would not get married. To this day, I really have not married, but it is not because of you."
Wen Jianjian said: "I know you are very happy now."
Bo Chuancai said: "I am very happy. I know that fairies should only exist in the sky, but I have seen fairies; but since I have seen fairies, it is difficult for me to see mortals in my eyes."
Wen Jianjian laughed again. "Is Yan Fengyue a mortal?"
Bo Chuancai said, "He is a mortal, and I am also a mortal."
Wen Jianjian said: "Are you going to question me for a mortal?"
Bo Chuancai said: "There is no crime. You burned his lair for no reason, and he always wants to know a reason."
Wen Jianjian said: "If I say it's because I don't like him pestering you, that's the reason
Rowan's tone was dry. "I will cut you to pieces."
The young man laughed loudly, and saw hidden weapons falling on them in all directions in the building like shining raindrops.Luo Wan protected Qubieyu behind his back, turned the long saber, three feet away from him, the hidden weapons fell one after another.Almost at the same time, eight big men jumped down from upstairs.
Luo Wan only said three words, "Close your eyes!"
Qu Bieyu was a step late.Luo Wan's knife had split the head of a man, the man's head was almost split in two, he fell forward and crushed Qu Bieyu.The Luoyan Saber moved like a dragon and snake, opened and closed wide, cut off another man's waist, removed an arm of a third man, and slashed his throat again.In an instant, the building was full of corpses.
Qu Bieyu lifted the corpse on his body, wiped the blood and brains dripping from his face, looked at everything in front of him in astonishment, and vomited uncontrollably.
Rowan was still standing there, the tip of the knife was still facing the boy.
He didn't seem to have moved half a step.
The young man's handsome smile seemed to have stiffened a bit.
He must have heard that Luoyan Dao can kill people, Luoyan Dao is good at killing people, what's more, Luoyan Dao is good at killing people.
But what none of these legends mention is that once the Luoyan knife is out of its sheath, it is much easier to kill than not to kill!
He clapped his hands suddenly a few times and said, "It seems that you are in good condition today."
Luo Wan said: "I drank the wine and vomited again."
He glanced at Qu Bieyu who had collapsed on the ground, and said, "He has never been able to tell lies since a long time ago."
The boy smiled and said, "Fortunately, I didn't expect much from him in the first place."
Luo Wan said: "You should bring the hostages and force me to commit suicide on the spot, perhaps the most effective way."
The boy suddenly changed color, and said sharply: "No need!"
With a clear whistle, he has already flew up, with a long sword in his left hand and a short sword in his right hand, the two sword lights are like a waterfall of snow, pressing towards Luo Wan.When the swords intersected, Rowan took a step back.
It's a genius.
He'd seen a lot of these prodigies in his teens.He followed his father to visit martial arts families everywhere, and he often tried his best to fight against these people.
These people can understand a little bit, or even draw inferences about things, he needs to chew silently for a long time before his body can catch up with the mental reaction.The biggest gain he has gained through these fights is that he is not a member of the Wizards.
This young man's comprehension of two-handed swords and his mastery of timing made him faintly think of those extremely intelligent children of aristocratic families, the kind of envy that is naturally unattainable.And that kind of tricky and novel angle is the courage and ruthlessness that only young people who have just come out of the rivers and lakes possess.
Since that accident, he has faced many martial arts masters with profound skills as a challenger, but now he himself has become the one being challenged.Rowan had no doubt that many tigers had already fallen under the hooves of this newborn calf.
What's more, in his hand he still holds a legendary torture that kills without counting and is invincible.
The wind of the sword is sharper, the momentum of the sword is denser, and the path of the sword is more poisonous.Luo Wan's clothes and even his skin had already been scratched by him in many places, which really gave the illusion of being Ling Chi.
However, he never deviated from the direction of the knife at all.
The two swords once again intersected.Luo Wan pushed back with his backhand, forcing the long sword back, and the tip of the knife stabbed obliquely at the boy's chest.The young man poured his strength into it, and Xing Lu knocked on the exposed back of the Luoyan Knife, only to hear a crisp sound, Luo Wan's hand suddenly lightened, and the Luoyan Knife broke and fell to the ground.The young man's face showed ecstasy, unexpectedly Luo Wan's saber did not change, Xing Lu hurriedly slashed again, cutting off the blade at the root, Luo Wan only had the hilt in his hand, but still sent half of the saber into the young man's chest .
At the same time, his heart sank suddenly.
He heard Qubieyu's exclamation.The exclamation was mingled with fear, worry and despair.
He knew that there were more than the three of them alive in the building.But he has no time to take care of it.
If there is a real winner in this battle, then he must be the loser!
However, after this exclamation, the building fell into silence, leaving only the thick smell of blood spreading.
Luo Wan turned around very slowly, still holding the handle of the Luoyan Saber in his hand.
Qu Bieyu was still sitting on the ground, and there was a person standing in front of him.
This man is lifting another man by the neck.Or rather, by the neck of a dead body.The corpse's throat was pinched in his hands, and the head and limbs were already limply hanging down.
When the man saw Luo Wan turning around, he moved very lightly. He put the corpse on the ground cherishingly, wiped his hands on the lapel of his shirt, and then saluted Luo Wan. The gesture was so loud that it was almost comical.
His face is also very funny, with a round head, a round figure, and two mustaches. He belongs to the type that can easily make children laugh, and it is even more funny when he is serious.
This person now said in a tone that was almost affectionate: "The Lord of the Thousand Feast Banquet invites Hero Luo to show you for a while."
Rowan looked at him silently.
The man hastily added: "We have arranged for Mr. Qu's family members, and we will see each other soon. Please don't worry about it. There is no one left here, and it will be cleaned up after Feishanglou."
He was still afraid that Luo Wan would not agree, so he said: "If it's not possible today, then tomorrow is also possible. My master is waiting for Luo Yan Dao to drive me anytime."
Luo Wan suddenly said: "What about the day after tomorrow?"
There was a knowing smile on the man's round face. "Come sooner rather than later."
Rowan said, "I'll go."
He stepped over the corpses on the ground and walked to the door.The door is half open, letting in the golden halo of the setting sun.He turned his head to look at Qu Bieyu who was sitting in a pool of blood, and he could no longer distinguish the expression of the other party under the backlight.
"Brother Qu, leave it alone."
The sound of the zither came mistyly across the water, after the first month, and through the layers of lotus leaves.
Luo Wan stepped onto the stone bridge, and everything around him began to dim as if washed by the sound of the piano.Even memory obediently begins to blur.
At the end of the stone bridge was a water pavilion, which was not lit up. With the dim moonlight, one could be seen lying on the slum, with a woman playing the piano sitting next to her.
When Luo Wan stepped into the pavilion, the person on the floor suddenly said: "You look very sad."
He didn't change his posture, and he was gently playing with something with his left hand supporting his head.
Luo Wan usually hates such smart people.But at the moment he simply nodded his head.
The person on the collapse slowly straightened his upper body, pointed to Luo Wan the bamboo pier of Concubine Xiang next to the stone table, asked him to sit down, and signaled the woman playing the piano to step back, and then said to Luo Wan: "I am Qian Shengyi, you can call me Qian Shengyi." Kindly, you can also call me Xiao Chenghou."
He had his clothes open, his black hair wrapped around his head, and his expression was relaxed and relaxed.The sunny and rainy colors of the day have disappeared at this time and here, and there is only a kind of silence and coolness that seems to be magnified by breathing.He looked at the back of the woman holding the piano from the other side, and suddenly asked: "Isn't Thirteen beautiful?"
Luo Wan said: "It's beautiful."
Qian Shengyi smiled and said: "I love listening to the piano, and if I am enslaved by things, I will inevitably have to pay a price."
Rowan said: "As long as you think it's worth it."
Qian Shengyi said: "I really want to know what was going on in the mind of the person who brought this thing to you."
Luo Wan said: "Maybe you can only ask him himself."
Qian Shengyi's eyes followed him to look at the thing he was playing with, and said, "Don't be surprised, before you brought this Wonderful Sound Silk Bamboo, I used to talk to people by reading lips like this."
Rowan said: "You don't seem to need it at all."
Qian Shengyi said: "Indeed, even few people around me know that I am deaf."
He laughed again: "But I still want to listen to the piano."
He gently put the Miaoyin silk bamboo into his ear, stared at Luo Wan, and said, "Why are you so sad? Although you lost the knife, you gained a priceless friend."
Luo Wan said: "But I can no longer be his friend."
Qian Shengyi said: "Even if you don't associate with him anymore, the torture in his hands will become the source of the disturbance from now on."
He pondered, and slowly said: "Maybe I should buy Xingsha."
Rowan looked down at the handle of the knife in his hand.
He has been holding it unconsciously until now, with no intention of letting it go.He wanted to scabbard it, but found it impossible.
When the blade was cut off, the sharp light refracted by the fresh edges appeared in front of his eyes again.
The knife that had accompanied him for ten years was now broken to pieces, yet his heart was so calm, as if the destruction of the knife was a more ridiculous joke than the sun rising from the west, and there was no need to question it.
Qian Shengyi looked at the wreckage of the famous Luoyan Saber with a respectful expression, and said, "You killed nine people today."
Rowan felt that what he said was quite right, and there was nothing to add, so he didn't answer.Qian Shengyi continued: "People are killing people every day in this world. I have even seen some people. If they don't kill people for a day, they can't eat or sleep. But he is not a devil, but an executioner."
Luo Wan said: "I may not have killed fewer people than him."
Qian Shengyi said: "You really believe that killing people will bring retribution."
Rowan said, "I believe it."
Qian Shengyi said: "But you killed people." His tone was very relaxed, not a question, but a friendly discussion.He seemed to feel that since he was in Jianghu, it was really embarrassing to say such a thing, but Luo Wan felt that maybe he had never killed anyone.
Luo Wan said: "Because I now know that there is someone like me who will suffer retribution."
What he said couldn't be more strange, but Qian Shengyi nodded in relief, took the pot and filled the cup.This pot is neither wine nor tea, but chilled sour plum soup, which is so refreshing that Luo Wan wants to know how to make it.
"In this case, I don't have to worry about it. I want to ask you to help me kill someone."
Rowan said, "I'm not a killer."
Qian Shengyi said: "Don't get me wrong. The boy you killed today was named Chao Lu, and the name is really appropriate; of course you already know that he is the guest who has been in the limelight for the past three days, and he seems to have countless Rare treasure. He is one of Qu Zhijun's most beloved confidantes. It really gives me a headache. Fortunately, he is still young. If another ten years pass, I may have to kneel down and beg him to spare my life. Help me get this A genius snuffed out in the cradle, and I can't thank you enough."
Luo Wan said: "You can do this yourself."
Qian Shengyi smiled and said: "You are wrong, I have never been able to do anything by myself."
Luo Wan said: "So you also want me to kill Qu Zhijun for you?"
Qian Shengyi stared at his fingers and said with emotion: "Although no doctor can explain the reason for my deafness; but I think if there is any root cause, it should be Mr. Qu Zhi."
"He poisoned you?"
"No, he was angry." Qian Shengyi said sadly.
He suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "I know you still won't simply agree to this, even if I'm [-]% sure that Qu Bieyu's matter was ordered by him. You may want to repay my affection in other ways; But you will agree soon, not only that, even if I stop you from killing him, you will definitely not agree. Don't worry, you can think about it slowly before you get a new knife in your hand. And no matter why you killed him in the end, I will still treat it as if you went for me, and this thing will be yours after all."
Rowan said, "What?"
Qian Shengyi said: "It's the reason for you to come to the Qianpin Banquet this time."
☆、Chapter Five Breaks the Formation
The half-closed door was also half-open, and the outside was an opaque dark blue.Ying Tianchang patted Zhou Chenglin's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "I will kill you later. Listen to me now."
After saying this, he stepped out the door first.
Weeping.cicadas sing.Grass.Wood.water.wind.
In this secluded place away from the world of mortals, there is nowhere to hide from the residual heat.Ying Tianchang suddenly realized that autumn is really here.
In the dark blue night, there stood nine young men holding swords. Although they were not uniform at a closer look, they could generally be described as outstanding in appearance.Feeling the straight and gentle gaze from behind, Ying Tianchang's will to leave this place became ten times stronger.
He took a few steps forward slowly, and entered into the encirclement of the sword array on his own initiative.Zhou Chenglin had no choice but to follow him, but always kept a cautious distance.
The nine swords were already pointed at the two of them, Ying Tianchang spread out his folding fan, and a few silver lights flew out with a strong wind.Not to be outdone, Zhou Chenglin drew his sword out of its sheath before Jianguang approached him, and forced the sword back with a loud clang.That saber is shorter than Luoyan Dao, with a wider blade, a steeper ridge, and a pure white edge, as thin as ice and snow.The boy on the opposite side was originally four or five years older than him, but he was intimidated by this momentum and didn't dare to attack rashly.
Ying Tianchang swung his fan away from Jianguang around him, secretly groaning in his heart.Zhou Chenglin's weight is clear to him at a glance, Yan Fengyue's education policy is only the word stocking, masters look at it casually, supervise and don't teach, Zhou Chenglin accepts miscellaneous learning, does not follow the rules, beats around without thinking, the master doesn't care, It is really possible for a young man like today who is not deeply involved in the world to be bluffed by him.However, he has learned from Luo Wan for the past few months, changed his past, and practiced from scratch. The foundation has not yet yielded results, and it is not like letting go before. Instead, his strength has been compromised. If it does not help, he will be thankful.
Ying Tianchang and both of them had to take care of each other, with a fan covering the left and right, but the water couldn't get in, so he had to pay attention to the flaws of the formation in his busy schedule.The formation is an ordinary gossip sword formation, the sword wielders have the same skills, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, after a long time, even martial arts masters will be trapped here to death, not to mention that he also brought a oil bottle, he felt exhausted, Ying Tianchang's figure was swaying. Walking to test the changes of the sword array, he suddenly shouted: "Jingmen!"
When Zhou Chenglin was in a hurry, he heard him yell, and subconsciously attacked in the direction of Jingmen.The young man swung his sword to block, his footsteps fluttered, his companions on the left and right raised their swords to help, Zhou Chenglin quickly backed up and bumped into Ying Tianchang's back.Ying Tianchang didn't stop for a moment, and shouted again: "Du Men!"
Zhou Chenglin smashed the can and threw it, and slashed straight with his knife.This time, the opponent was already prepared, instead of retreating, he cut the back of Zhou Chenglin's hand with a sword.Ying Tianchang didn't care about it, he put his fan together and pointed at the chest of one person, who was the weakest of the nine.Seeing a flash of cold light, the young man let out a miserable cry, and stepped back a few steps, the sword array froze for a moment, Ying Tianchang grabbed Zhou Chenglin's shoulder with one hand, and ran straight out of the gap.
Qu Zhijun stood on the stone steps in front of the door, Zhu Jinyi was in his arms, the two of them were watching, but seeing Ying Tianchang only shouted twice, all the young people lost their balance, Zhu Jin suddenly broke away, annoyed Stamped his feet and said: "Just say that Chaolu is not here, and there is one less person in the sword formation, how can Yuzhu replace him! Sure enough, it will only slow down. I want to go down."
Qu Zhijun smiled and said: "Don't make trouble, fighting and killing things are not suitable for you."
Zhu Jin pulled his sleeve and said coquettishly: "That man scared me just now, and then humiliated me. If you don't avenge me, don't I want to avenge myself?"
Qu Zhi Jun said: "Alright, I will avenge you."
He suddenly stretched out his robe sleeves, and his whole body fell lightly into the sword array like a big bird.
A burst of invisible pressure pressed towards Ying Tianchang's back.
This is not a pressure that can be escaped by closing your eyes and running around.
This pressure is like a shadow spreading from behind, the speed of devouring is much faster than the speed of escaping.
Ying Tianchang noticed this immediately, so he turned around and met Qu Zhijun's palm.
This palm did not have majestic power, but was soft and gloomy, like a bottomless whirlpool.Ying Tian was shocked and wanted to withdraw, but found that his palm had been glued.
He immediately cut the opponent's wrist with the fan, and Qu Zhijun's hand took his hand slightly to one side, and the fan just brushed against the sleeve.
Ying Tianchang felt his heart grow colder.
His fan is certainly not an ordinary fan, nor even an ordinary weapon; this folding fan named Yinshuang is sharper and more lingering than the coldest moonlight.
However, the tactile sensation transmitted to his hand holding the fan at that moment was as if it had crossed a piece of water as soft as silk, leaving no trace except for an illusory ripple.
Ying Tianchang gritted his teeth, and withdrew his palm suddenly, the opponent's palm force and his own palm force counterattacked, sending him flying, almost bringing Zhou Chenglin down.
However, when he landed, for some reason, his back turned to Qu Zhijun.Zhou Chenglin was still in shock, and he was already dragging him to run wildly!
A young boy next to him reacted the fastest, and stabbed him with flying body. Zhou Chenglin had no way to avoid it. Suddenly, his mind became hot, and he stabbed with his backhand.It seemed that he had seen this scene somewhere long ago, and this knife had already been pondered countless times.
He only felt that the blade had pierced into a soft obstacle, and when he pulled it out suddenly, scorching blood spattered onto his sleeve.
His hand holding the knife suddenly became weak, and his legs lost strength.Ying Tianchang realized that there was resistance in dragging him, and threw him on his back decisively. Zhou Chenglin's mind went blank, and he murmured: "I killed someone!"
Ying Tianchang comforted him while running: "Don't be afraid, you are not dead!"
No one hindered him.
Maybe someone actually stopped him.But in anyone's eyes, he is just a fleeting white light at this moment.
He ran for more than twenty miles in one breath, and then gradually slowed down. Zhou Chenglin hugged his neck tightly, and almost never strangled him out.
Ying Tianchang looked behind him, no one was chasing him, the wind was blowing the grass and trees all around, rustling, the flowing water was lingering, the black shadows were dark, the low mountains were silent and unfriendly, besides the occasional howls of animals, there seemed to be faint The voice seemed to be plotting how to deal with them.Or maybe it's just his delusion of being killed, and the valley just wants them to fend for themselves.
This is not a difficult task, especially when he suddenly finds himself lost.
He took a breath, almost stopped completely, and said with a smile, "Cheng Lin."
Zhou Chenglin froze visibly on his back; his hand had already been released at some point.
Ying Tianchang said: "What's the name of your knife?"
"Chasing Shadow." Zhou Chenglin replied bluntly.
Ying Tianchang said again patiently: "Tell me, if your master knows that you stabbed me with the knife he gave you, will he be very happy?"
Zhou Chenglin suddenly rolled off his back, and flung it vigorously, but couldn't shake off Ying Tianchang's hand clutching his wrist.
Chasing Shadow was in his hand, and the blade was still stained with fresh blood.
Ying Tianchang looked at the dark bushes around him, and even the transparent moonlight could not reveal the danger hidden there.He asked, "Do you know the way here?"
Zhou Chenglin said: "I don't know."
Ying Tianchang smiled and said, "Exactly, I don't know him either."
He swayed suddenly, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the stone by the road.
Zhou Chenglin didn't speak, but looked up at him with a cold passive resistance in his eyes.
Ying Tianchang knelt down on one knee, looked him in the eye, and said, "Little ancestor, I have something to discuss with you."
Zhou Chenglin nodded silently.
Ying Tianchang said: "I don't know what Mr. Qu Zhi said to you; but it is not worthwhile to kill me here. Even if you kill me, it is difficult for someone to get out of here? This is not far from Luoyang, but You have never been to Luoyang. Today you have to live in the mountains. What are there at night in the mountains? There are wolves! There are bears! There are tigers! Ahh, the kind that cannibalize people! You are also injured, and your legs are still too weak to walk. .Can you deal with it alone!"
Although Zhou Chenglin was still silent, his eyes clearly showed wavering.Ying Tianchang made persistent efforts: "What happened to your pavilion master, only you know now. If something happens to you, your pavilion master may be wronged! Look, there is a cave not far away. Let's go in first to make do with it for one night. It's dawn, I'll take you to Luoyang to find your master."
Zhou Chenglin looked at him, and suddenly said: "If you want to kill or cut, you said it."
Ying Tianchang said: "I said it, but not now."
Zhou Chenglin said: "Do you talk like that to everyone?"
Ying Tianchang said: "What are you thinking? I'm not a parrot."
Zhou Chenglin said, "Did you say the same to my father?"
Ying Tianchang paused, then smiled and said, "Your father is your father, and you are you."
He stood up and said, "Let's go."
Zhou Chenglin followed him into the cave. The inside was winding and deep, but it was not humid. There seemed to be an exit at the other end. Under the faint moonlight, it was difficult to distinguish the figure.Ying Tianchang took a few steps carefully while supporting the mountain wall, then turned around and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Zhou Chenglin shook his head.
Although Ying Tianchang couldn't see his movements clearly, he could guess fairly well, and said, "Okay, it happens that I didn't eat anything. Are you cold?"
Zhou Chenglin couldn't help saying: "Who would be cold in this weather?!"
Ying Tianchang said: "Okay, I just don't have the strength to start a fire anymore."
He sat cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes, and there was no movement for a moment.Zhou Chenglin ignored it at first, and lay down halfway against the stone wall, feeling sore all over.After a while, the cave became more and more quiet, and after eyes adapted to the darkness, they could gradually see Ying Tianchang's figure sitting in meditation, but even if he pricked up his ears, he couldn't hear his breathing.For anyone who knew Ying Tianchang, it was impossible for him to keep his mouth shut for so long.
Zhou Chenglin suddenly thought: "Is he dead?"
He had an urge to get up to have a look, but forced himself to stay where he was.
"No matter what, the scourge has been around for thousands of years, this person can't die like this." He thought.
But how should Ying Tianchang die?Compared with being hacked to death, stabbed to death, or really dying by a thousand swords, being defeated by him and then dying of shame (I have to say that he has imagined this scene quite a few times), this kind of death seems reasonable many.
He could hardly bear to step forward to lift Ying Tianchang's eyelids, or test his breath.
He was so absorbed in his wild thoughts and efforts of self-restraint that he didn't notice the approaching footsteps outside the cave.
Suddenly, there was a cracking sound, and a bright light flashed in front of him. Zhou Chenglin was so stimulated that he opened his eyes reflexively, but he saw a tall and thin old man standing in front of him, holding a torch and looking at him.
——Not looking at him, but looking at Ying Tianchang!
Zhou Chenglin was startled, and couldn't help but gasped.The old man turned his face and looked at him this time. His thin face and messy white hair looked even more eerie under the dancing firelight, like a ghost in a picture book.
He suddenly took a step closer, and Zhou Chenglin felt a blur in front of his eyes, and he had already strangled his neck, and said sharply, "Who are you! What do you have to do with him!"
Zhou Chenglin rolled his eyes from being pinched by him, struggling and said: "I...I don't recognize, I know!"
The old man snorted, and suddenly let go. Zhou Chenglin slammed the back of his head against the stone wall, gasping for breath, rubbing the red marks on his neck with his hands.The old man ignored him, just approached Ying Tianchang with a smirk.
Ying Tianchang remained unresponsive, even his hair remained motionless, looking like a lifeless stone statue.
"The outside of Jurong City was designed by you, I didn't expect to meet here again today..."
His voice was small and muffled, with a kind of cruel joy.Zhou Chenglin's hair was standing on end, and he subconsciously touched the handle of the knife, but suddenly came across a disgusting object.
He was taken aback.It was the needle box that Bo Chuancai gave him, and the body of the box was carved with deep and shallow patterns.He quietly took it out of his clothes, pressed his thumb on the hidden button on the side of the box, and pushed it forward slightly.
A burst of light burst out.
It's not that Zhou Chenglin has never seen hidden weapons.Gypsophila, pear blossom needles, funeral nails, and barbed wire, he has accumulated too much knowledge during the years when everyone in Fengyue Linlang Pavilion was too idle to throw hidden weapons at each other.
But he only realized how terrifying the gift he accepted was when he saw the cluster of rays of light!
The old man was hit in the back, screamed wildly, turned around suddenly, and rushed towards him.
Zhou Chenglin didn't even have the time to regret it, so he saw the old man slumped face down, and the fire went out.His body was already stiff when he fell, and a large cloud of dust was stirred up, and the dull reverberation reverberated endlessly in the darkness.
Zhou Chenglin waited for a while, then crawled up to his side tremblingly, and frantically touched the fire fold on the ground, shook it several times before it came out, and then tried to turn the corpse's face over.A trace of black blood had flowed from the facial features of the corpse.
Zhou Chenglin stayed for a while, then suddenly raised his head to look at Ying Tianchang.
Ying Tianchang sat there as if he was in a state of concentration, as if he was ignorant of all this.
He carefully opened the needle box.There was only one needle left, lying quietly on the red silk at the bottom of the box.He picked up the tail of the needle and walked towards Ying Tianchang step by step as if possessed by a demon.
Ying Tianchang didn't move.Maybe even if a hundred people were beating gongs and drums around him, he might not even move.
And as long as the needle is lightly dropped, he will never move again.
Under the beating firelight, his exposed neck looked fragile and defenseless, and even blue blood vessels could be seen.The temptation was so sweet, he hardly hesitated anymore.
The needle tip was only a few millimeters away from Ying Tianchang's skin.All he needs is one command!
"Chenglin."
Zhou Chenglin suddenly turned his head and looked at the entrance of the cave.There stood a tall figure.
Luo Wan's face remained calm, and he said: "If this needle goes in, the relationship between you and me as a teacher and student will be severed."
Zhou Chenglin's hands trembled more violently, but a surge of rage surged in his heart.He almost recklessly wanted to stick the needle into Ying Tianchang's neck, but his hand trembled so much that he couldn't drop it for a long time.
Ying Tianchang opened his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, Cheng Lin didn't want to kill me." He stood up, patted Zhou Chenglin's back, and said: "This thing is useful, but it's also dangerous, you'd better be careful. "
Zhou Chenglin said sharply: "He killed my father, I just...want revenge!"
Luo Wan said: "He saved you just now, if you have repaid your revenge, how can you repay your kindness? What's more, you are taking advantage of others' danger, a gentleman despises you."
Zhou Chenglin said: "I... I avenged him, and I will pay him back with my own life!"
Ying Tianchang's face became more and more ugly, and he shouted: "Enough!" He knocked Zhou Chenglin on the head, and cursed: "How big is a small thing, it will live and die all day long." Patting the dirt on his body, he went straight out, When passing by Luo Wan's side, he suddenly asked, "Where's your knife?"
Luo Wan said: "It's broken."
Not only Ying Tianchang, but also Zhou Chenglin lost his voice: "It's broken!?"
Luo Wan said coldly: "It's broken."
Ying Tianchang stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Stop it, we are brothers and sisters. If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come."
Luo Wan took a few steps forward, squatted down and looked at the old man's body, then turned around and asked, "Why is Yue Gaohan here?"
Ying Tianchang said: "I don't know either. It just happened to be a coincidence. Find some people to bury him tomorrow."
The two walked out of the cave, and the moonlight outside was bright and clear, illuminating the grass and trees into a faint rising smoke.Zhou Chenglin was frightened and fatigued for half a day, although he wanted to listen to the two of them talking, he finally fell asleep on Luo Wan's back.The two walked silently, even the insects stopped chirping, only the orderly footsteps were heard.
Luo Wan suddenly said: "What are you struggling with?"
Ying Tianchang smiled and said: "I was just thinking, I may not be able to do any of the gentleman's norms you mentioned just now, and I will sweat profusely."
Luo Wan said: "So you are not my apprentice."
Ying Tianchang cut him off. "Yes, I am your best friend."
He deliberately said affectionately, and successfully used a burst of nausea to stop Rowan's urge to question.Luo Wan looked at him and was speechless after all. He took out a small bamboo tube from his sleeve and lit it, only to see a peony-shaped fireworks explode in the air.
Ying Tianchang waited for him to finish all this before asking: "How do you know we are here?"
Luo Wan said: "The Lord of the Thousand Feast Banquet, Xiao Chengjun. He also arranged for people to help find it."
Ying Tianchang said: "I think there will be a lot of articles here."
Luo Wan turned to look at him, and said: "I think you will have a great adventure, in less than a day, you have changed your clothes."
Ying Tianchang's mind was ringing with alarm bells, so he could only smile and said, "How do you know that I just saved Cheng Lin?"
Luo Wan said: "Otherwise, what are you doing here for no reason?"
Ying Tianchang reflexively wanted to say that there were at least four words left, but then he thought it would be safer not to mention this, so he forcibly changed the topic and said, "I still want to count on you to coax him."
Luo Wan said: "Excuse me, shut up for now, I want to kill someone after hearing a word from you now."
Ying Tianchang pretended to be shocked. "What! You said you wouldn't kill me."
Luo Wan said: "If it is possible, I really want to kill you."
Ying Tianchang didn't answer, after a while, he said with a smile: "Don't kill me, okay?"
The tone was sincere and weak, as if people were helpless and could only pray, and let go and leave it to God, I really don't know the result.Rowan didn't look at him.He cannot look at him.
On the one hand, he felt that any request of his could be granted.On the other hand, he couldn't even say the good word.
He realized, almost with a kind of sadness, how much he had been tortured by this man.
reborn.It had nothing to do with the emotion that he didn't know when he started to deteriorate. He regarded it as a kindness, a responsibility, and a reason to go through fire and water.He believes that Ying Tianchang also prides himself on this.
It is impossible for him to regret it.It was still the clean line that split his time.But maybe all new life is just reincarnation, just the repetition of hallucinations that have changed their face, otherwise, why would he still gradually fall into this dirty, trivial, as if struggling in the mud, all-too-familiar in pain?
They came to the end of the path, and suddenly there was an open flat land in front of them.There was a carriage parked there, and the driver was waiting for them, and immediately carried Zhou Chenglin into the carriage.
Ying Tianchang looked at the vast town in the distance and the low mountains behind him, looked at the chariots and horses again, and finally asked, "Do you know the way?"
Luo Wan instantly felt that all his psychological struggles just now were purely asking for trouble, and said calmly, "I'm a local."
Ying Tianchang smiled and said, "Okay, I'm relieved now."
He seemed to want to say something, but suddenly he fell straight forward, and his forehead hit Rowan's shoulder heavily.
☆、Chapter evening sunshine
The sun is shifting under the bead curtain, and the slightly moist wind blows in, making people seem to see the endless blue sea under a sunny day.
The wind chimes under the eaves rang slightly, and the soft tone seemed to gently wake people up from their dreams, or send them into the deepest dreams.
The woman in the mirror is combing her hair.
Her skin was extremely white, and her hair was even blacker.Cheeks and fingers are like white jade.People who see her for the first time may not pay attention to her beauty first, but the completeness and cleanliness of this porcelain.
Bo Chuancai looked at her in a daze.Only half of her sleeve fell into the mirror, and it was a corner of a red flame, which was a wonderful embellishment in the originally colorless pattern except black and white.
"You're still beautiful," she said, like a sigh. "You have been so beautiful since a long time ago. I was just a fluffy girl back then. When I saw you, I thought you were a fairy in the sky. The next day, I ran away from marriage."
The woman smiled; this smile was extraordinary, as if a beautiful doll suddenly had an expression, and it was the spring breeze blowing open the frozen pear blossoms.Bo Chuancai stared at this smile obsessively, as if fascinated.
"Don't confuse it. Even if you don't see me, you will still run away from marriage."
"Yes." Bo Chuancai admitted gently. "When I was 15 years old, I told you that I would not get married. To this day, I really have not married, but it is not because of you."
Wen Jianjian said: "I know you are very happy now."
Bo Chuancai said: "I am very happy. I know that fairies should only exist in the sky, but I have seen fairies; but since I have seen fairies, it is difficult for me to see mortals in my eyes."
Wen Jianjian laughed again. "Is Yan Fengyue a mortal?"
Bo Chuancai said, "He is a mortal, and I am also a mortal."
Wen Jianjian said: "Are you going to question me for a mortal?"
Bo Chuancai said: "There is no crime. You burned his lair for no reason, and he always wants to know a reason."
Wen Jianjian said: "If I say it's because I don't like him pestering you, that's the reason
