Toad Palace Spring and Autumn

At the foot of Qiyun Mountain, the cold wind is howling, and the sky is blue like rain.

Baili Yunxiao rode his horse into the forest, startling a group of resident birds to flap their wings and fly away, rustling and disappearing over the drowsy dense forest.

There is no one in the wilderness, and the flute music suddenly rises, echoing in the forest from far and near.

It was no ordinary music, but the sound of killing and killing with deep regret, still revealing a ray of the bleakness of the world that is unprecedented in the past and present.

The horseshoe squeaked, and I couldn't help but feel relieved.

In the old days, there were few beautiful women, and it was difficult to express their feelings. Only Xiao Guan, who expressed his love, often stood quietly on the top of the mountain and played the flute.Unbeknownst to him, at that time there was still a person who often listened to the flute silently on the cliff in the middle of the mountain.

The music is ethereal, song after song, and has accompanied the lonely people under the cliff day and night.

The more I don't want to think about the picture of memory, the clearer it becomes, as if seeing every stitch, I wish I could hurt my bone marrow.

Baili Yunxiao could hardly restrain the longing in his heart.Because if he hadn't made a special trip to wait, he couldn't think of anyone who would appear in this place at this time.But how can a person be resurrected after death?After all, this vagueness is wishful thinking.

Even so, he was still bewitched by the flute and could hardly hold himself back.

It seems that there is no choice but to follow the sound.

But hopes are always dashed faster than they are created.

Not far away is a grass pavilion surrounded by bamboo fences, and the sound of the flute comes from there.When he got closer, he could clearly see that the person playing the flute was not the person he thought——

Although the back of this person holding the flute is extraordinary and refined, it does have a certain resemblance to the old man.

Baili Yunxiao couldn't hide the disappointment on his face, lowered his eyes unconsciously, lightly pulled the rein of the horse and turned around to leave.

The people in the pavilion turned around slowly.

Baili Yunxiao glanced at him, and the soft wind blew across his face in an instant, and the branches and leaves fell all over the sky, and they gathered in a formation in a blink of an eye.

The man put away the flute, and stared directly at the visitor with a pair of eyes that were as cold as frost.

"It's you……"

This trip was originally going to the National Teacher Hall.After meeting here, Baili Yunxiao felt relieved, so he simply got off his horse and walked into the pavilion facing Bing Yuheng.

"Forgive me for my poor eyesight, I didn't recognize my senior at a glance."

Bing Yuheng didn't blame anything.He was used to being a majestic man, and the clothes he used were all extravagant, and he seldom showed others without makeup.This time they are specially dressed in plain clothes, so no one can tell the difference at a glance.

"Do you know why I'm waiting for you here?"

"The younger generation doesn't know."

In fact, Baili Yunxiao had a lot of things he wanted to ask, but facing Bing Yuheng at this moment, he felt that all the questions were out of place.

"You forgot what you did in the General's Mansion just now. Could it be that you still want to return to Qilan Mountain from the National Teacher Palace?"

"Seniors don't ask juniors why they do this?"

Bing Yuheng had no expression on his face, and he just smiled slightly when he heard this, "No matter how good your reasons are, after all, General Li is a big celebrity in front of the emperor. Now that something happened to him, I, as the national teacher, can't There is reason to sit back and watch."

"Senior, if you have feelings for the emperor, can you be ruthless to your lover?"

Knowing that Bing Yuheng's original intention was not like this, Baili Yunxiao still couldn't help but feel an indescribable anger. It seemed that if he didn't vent his anger, his whole heart would be filled with that kind of pain that had nowhere to hide. Devoured.

However, the angrier he was, the colder Bing Yuheng's reaction became.Baili Yunxiao could even see an imperceptible trace of pity in those clear pupils, which made him unbearable, "If senior insists on punishing junior, then do it."

After hearing this, Bing Yuheng turned a deaf ear to it, and asked an irrelevant question: "I heard that you are quite famous in the righteous way of the Central Plains, and your lineage with my Toad Palace is even more powerful. Why do the two palace lords treat you differently?"

Baili Yunxiao didn't understand what he meant, he was silent for a moment, and then he asked vigilantly: "Why did you say that, senior?"

"Toad Palace is dominated by martial arts, and there are many enemies in the Central Plains. Since Xuanji took charge of Toad Palace, she has experienced many turmoil, but I have never seen her complain. Until she was defeated by you back then, she forcibly used secret methods to heal her wounds, which led to a fire The infuriating energy of the demon was reversed, the limbs and tendons were destroyed, and he could no longer succeed to the position of palace master. Later, Jing Huan agreed to take over the Toad Palace and go to the Central Plains. I thought he must have the ambition to compete in the Central Plains. In the end, he not only disappointed me, but also Let the Holy One be chilled."

Bing Yuheng spoke so plainly and naturally, as if everyone was just a pawn for his strategizing.Baili Yunxiao felt heartbroken just hearing his name mentioned, but the fact is that there are many things in the world that can neither be argued nor need to be argued about.

"What exactly do seniors want to know?"

"Back then, you clearly won the battle at Jiejian Peak. Why did you pretend to be captured without a fight? Although Xuanji has lost all her skills, she has treated you well. What is the secret agreement between you two?"

Facing the continuous interrogation, Baili Yunxiao sneered slightly, rather self-deprecating: "That's because the secret Five Lotus Sutra that the Toad Palace is proud of is no longer the complete Five Lotus Sutra in Bing Xuanji's hands. "

Bing Yuheng also laughed when he heard the words, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, instead it made his expression more serious, "So, the other half of the Heart Sutra is really in the hands of Wei Yazi?"

"Senior, why bother to ask questions knowingly?" Baili Yunxiao said helplessly, "I once broke into the meeting between Master and Bing Xuanji in the secret passage, which caused a rift with the master. Before I decided to go down the mountain, the master gave me a copy The broken pages of the Heart Sutra, and asked me not to disclose this matter to anyone. Seniors should know the reason better than me.”

It's one thing to speculate in your heart, but quite another to confirm it with your own ears.Bing Yuheng turned around abruptly, and in order not to let the younger generation see the slight loss of control in his facial expression, he took a deep breath and said, "So, the reason why Xuanji was restrained by you back then was because of my incomplete mentality?"

Seeing that Baili Yunxiao was silent, Bing Yuheng said again: "You are planning to stay at Jiejian Peak because of the other half of the Heart Sutra?"

Baili Yunxiao closed his eyes dejectedly, and said: "Since I was a child, I have always wanted to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts. I have done many wrong things and missed many things."

Bing Yuheng didn't speak, but seemed to be in deep thought.

Baili Yunxiao continued: "In the few years when I first came down from the mountain, I hired a painter to draw the secrets of the moves contained in the Heart Sutra into a book, and practiced according to the scriptures every day. I thought I was perfect in martial arts, but later I realized that I was wrong. "

"Of course it's wrong. Most of the palace masters in the past were daughters, because the Wuyang Sutra is a dual-cultivation secret method. Even if most men meet the innate limit, they will have dirty thoughts because of the dual-cultivation of men and women. You should be glad that you have not fallen into the devil way." Bing Yuheng sighed, and stepped out of the pavilion, "You go, I have my own way to deal with General Li's affairs."

"Thank you senior."

Baili Yunxiao led the horse and was about to follow, but was blocked by Bing Yuheng.

"If you want to go back to the Central Plains, I won't stop you. But the National Teacher Palace, you are absolutely forbidden to set foot again."

As soon as Bing Yuheng said this, Baili Yunxiao felt helpless, "Luyao Zhongyuan, senior, why don't you make it easier for me, let's go and say goodbye, and never bother me again..."

"Do you really think that the National Teacher's Palace is your own backyard, and you can come and go whenever you want?" Bing Yuheng said, with a pair of willow eyebrows slightly frowned, already a little angry, "Where did you come from, where are you going now?" , not to mention that you have an imperial token, the guards will never dare to embarrass you."

Seeing him like this, Baili Yunxiao knew that he must have concerns, so he didn't want to force others to do anything right now. After saying goodbye politely, he rode his horse and rushed to Xiaoguan alone.
