Toad Palace Spring and Autumn

When Liu Xuanying woke up, he found himself lying on a soft embroidered bed. When he looked up, he saw familiar curtains. The room was furnished as usual, and birds were chirping and chirping from time to time outside the window. Everything was so quiet. , as if the bloody battle not long ago was just a nightmare of hers...

But after waking up from the dream, why is the pain still there?

She sat up with a bewildered expression, and was shocked to find that the clothes on her body had been changed, and the jade hairpin with her hair was put on the bedside by someone. Her long black hair fell down, revealing a bit of delicate beauty, which was quite annoying. people love.

After being dazed for a while, Liu Xuanying threw off the quilt and got up to stay on the bed, took off the red gauze dress hanging on the screen, and opened the door to go out after finishing dressing up.

The sun was warming outside, and the gurgling stream gurgled down around the corridor. There were hundreds of miles of fairy branches, Yao grass, and fragrance everywhere. It was undoubtedly Tingxianglou—but she remembered clearly that Tingxianglou had been occupied by those Central Plains people. How come I still appear here?

Just as he was wondering, someone came over from the other end of the corridor.She followed the reputation, but did not see the expected familiar face.

It was none other than Baili Yunxiao and Ning Huaishang.

The two handsome men are both imposing and about the same height, and the scene of walking side by side is extremely impactful.

Liu Xuanying suddenly realized that he was not dreaming, and his face turned pale, "How could it be you?..."

"You're finally awake." Ning Huaishhang took over her words, but answered irrelevantly, "What's wrong with you?"

Liu Xuanying didn't accept his favor, and taunted: "Don't put on airs here! Kill as you want, where is there so much nonsense? Since it fell into your hands, I never thought of living!"

Baili Yunxiao frowned slightly, but said nothing.

Ning Huaishhang sighed, and said with a wry smile: "If you really want to kill you, why wait until now?"

Liu Xuanying glanced coldly, "What do you want?"

Ning Huaishang still looked so calm, and seemed to have enough patience with her, "If you can put aside your hostility, maybe we can sit down and talk like friends."

"There's nothing to talk about with your back-and-forth scumbags."

In the final analysis, what Liu Xuan should worry about is the broken promises of the Righteous Path Alliance.Right now, the fate of her fellow disciples is uncertain, and she is definitely not in the mood to talk about anything else.

Baili Yunxiao seemed to see through her mind, and suddenly said: "Being willful will not help you solve any problems, unless you don't care about your classmates."

One sentence brings back bloody memories.

Liu Xuanying couldn't help but think about how blood ruthlessly stained the earth red that day on the cliff in the miserable wind and rain.The majestic green peaks are stacked with clouds, and piles of corpses lie across the mountains and fields. The sky and the earth are filled with a vast and murderous atmosphere. Looking around, there is a dead silence, which is shocking.

But then what?

she does not know.

She only knew about the deaths and injuries of the members of the Toad Palace sect, and there were very few left.She was alone, and soon fell into a pool of blood, unconscious.

When I wake up again, everything is different, it seems like a lifetime away.

"Don't worry, everything is over. You are fine, and they are naturally fine."

Ning Huaishang's voice brought her back to reality, but also made her confused.

"What do you mean?"

It turned out that after the fierce battle that day, although the Toad Palace was defeated, the Zhengdao main battle faction also lost all their casualties, and both sides suffered huge losses.

This battle started because of the broken promise of the righteous way. Baili Yunxiao expressed his interests to his allies. Everyone agreed to let go of their hatred and abide by the Jianghu agreement that they will never invade the Toad Palace. The condition is that Xie Jianfeng must be divided into two according to the agreement. Send troops to guard together, and in the future, the Toad Palace will not impose restrictions on martial arts practitioners who go up the mountain to practice for any reason.After reaching a consensus, many people went down the mountain on their own, and only a few people from various schools and factions were willing to stay behind.After the war, Baili Yunxiao kept sending people to Yumengya to deal with the funeral affairs, erecting monuments and building graves for the dead; Baili Yunxiao did not force some surviving members of the Toad Palace family after the war, and let them go if they wanted to leave. The ones who came down were taken care of, and by the way, people were organized to help with the reconstruction affairs. In the past few days, people from the two factions have coexisted peacefully and lived in peace.

The only thing that made him worry was the inexplicable disappearance of the elite troops of the Toad Palace——

Obviously, this is a premeditated retreat.Most of the disciples of the Toad Palace, including the female relatives and cooks, disappeared, leaving only a few empty cities.All kinds of phenomena all conclusively showed that there was another mystery behind the incident of Sun Moon Yinlin and Wen Chuqing jumping off the cliff.

He has explored the surrounding terrain of Yumeng Cliff many times, and found that there is no path leading to the bottom of the cliff.Jumping off a cliff without knowing anything is dangerous and unpredictable. Even a peerless master may have no bones left. No one dares to take this risk.In addition, there is another possibility, that is, the technique of mechanism number.He believed that there must be some way inside the Toad Palace to reach the bottom of the cliff, and only Liu Xuanying knew this secret.

In fact, Liu Xuanying did know.But no matter what promise Baili Yunxiao made, she made up her mind never to say a word.

Baili Yunxiao knew that she had doubts, so she was not in a hurry.

Ning Huaishang saw her every day, but he didn't mention this matter, and usually talked about himself.As time passed, Liu Xuanying couldn't complain about him even more, and he was full of helplessness.

"Stupid, don't keep following me, I won't say anything."

On this day, Liu Xuanying was so bored that he wanted to go down the mountain for a walk.Ning Huaishang was worried and followed all the way, and when he reached the mountain gate, he heard Liu Xuanying complain.

"Your status is special, I'm afraid you will encounter trouble when you go down the mountain."

"Why, didn't you say that the past grievances and grievances have been wiped out? Is there still someone who wants to seek revenge from me?"

"Be careful sailing for thousands of years, I don't want you to be in danger."

Liu Xuanying listened to his sincere words, and it didn't seem to be false, so he couldn't help but playfully, "Idiot, who am I? You care so much about me?"

Ning Huaishang was stopped by her question, and his cheeks flushed slightly, "I have no other meaning."

"Hmph, it's useless even if you use the beauty trick."

Liu Xuanying was in a good mood, so he let him follow without hesitation, and went down the mountain singing and singing.

When they came back, they were a little surprised to see Baili Yunxiao in Tingxianglou.

"I found the entrance to the secret passage, follow me."

These words were addressed to Ning Huaishang.Liu Xuanying couldn't help pouring cold water on him: "So what if you find the entrance? It's a dead end for you to go in."

"Life and death are life and death, so I won't bother you."

Baili Yunxiao left after finishing speaking, and Ning Huaishang was about to follow, but Liu Xuanying grabbed his sleeve, "I'm going to go by myself, no fools are allowed to go."

Ning Huaishang gently broke away from her hand, and said calmly: "I have my own sense of proportion, you are tired from playing today, go to rest early."

"Stupid, you..."

Liu Xuanying jumped in anger, Ning Huaishang ignored him, hurriedly caught up with Baili Yunxiao and left.

Baili Yunxiao said that the entrance is located in a mountain depression between Dianjun Palace and Danxia Palace.It looks like a cemetery here, with semicircular soil embryos everywhere.One time when Baili Yunxiao came here, he accidentally discovered that the iron coffins under the earthen embryo were empty, and the bottom cover of each coffin could be opened.

For the sake of prudence, Baili Yunxiao did not tell other people about this discovery.He originally planned to go to investigate alone, but thought that taking Liu Xuanying with him might be able to get twice the result with half the effort, so he found Ning Huaishang.

After hearing his plan, Ning Huaishang couldn't help shaking his head, a little dumbfounded, "Why do you think she is willing to betray the teacher for me? I'm afraid I will disappoint you."

Baili Yunxiao also laughed, "You don't understand. If she doesn't want you to be in danger, she will naturally follow."

"you really……"

Before Ning Huaishang finished speaking, Baili Yunxiao smiled leisurely, "Here, isn't this here?"

"..."

Although Liu Xuanying was unwilling, he still couldn't bear to see Ning Huaishhang die in vain.With her guidance along the secret road trip, as Baili Yunxiao expected, there were no surprises or dangers along the way.

It's another world after leaving the secret path.

The three of them had just come out of the dark secret passage, and they couldn't adapt to the bright sunshine all of a sudden, and couldn't open their eyes for a long time.After their vision was restored, what appeared in front of their eyes was a large scene full of vitality like a paradise.The feng shui here seems to be blessed by nature. Even if the vegetation growing on the mountain is of the same species as those on the mountain, it is extraordinarily nourishing and moist.Under the vast blue sky, the village with smoke from cooking can be seen in the distance.

Ning Huaishang wondered, "Isn't that the village just now? Could it be that we came down the mountain unknowingly?"

Liu Xuanying frowned slightly, "It's rare to see something strange."

Baili Yunxiao looked around, then turned to her and asked, "Where is this?"

"Naturally, it's Xiejian Peak. It's just that we can see them here, but they can't see us." Liu Xuanying pointed in the direction of the village from a distance, and his eyebrows were quite contented.

The three of them continued to walk forward for a while, gradually becoming more and more popular along the way.Not far away, a majestic city stands in front of you, and around the city, there are many Toad Palace disciples in black clothes who are practicing in an orderly and orderly manner.

As he got closer, Liu Xuanying couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, but his footsteps stopped suddenly, hesitating.

Ning Huaishang glanced at her, but he could understand this kind of cowardly feeling, "Are you afraid?"

Liu Xuanying was used to being stubborn, so he wouldn't admit it. He gave him a hard look and said, "What am I afraid of? It's you who should be afraid."

Baili Yunxiao smiled, "You should be afraid. If your palace master knows that you brought us in, you will inevitably be punished."

Liu Xuanying was bitter, but he couldn't defend himself.Ning Huaishang comforted her and said, "Don't be afraid, we just don't go in, and then let him go alone."

Liu Xuanying pursed her lips and said nothing, and said after a while: "But... I also want to see Senior Brother Wen, I don't know how he is now..."

"This……"

Ning Huaishang was helpless, glanced at Baili Yunxiao, and found that he had already taken a step ahead and left alone.
