Ninety thousand miles of wind

——But it still happens at the end of the year.

After Luo Ji explained the world that day, several factions at the scene agreed with the people who came to Kunlun and Shushan to guard against this change. Afterwards, various discussions have been delayed, and it is already approaching the New Year's Eve.Except for Tyranny and Xingxin who were not far away, and Han Wenqing and Ye Xiu who had been fighting for many years and went back, the rest of them were far away, so they all stayed in Jiangzhou Tuannian.

All of a sudden, the Xingxin Villa, which was originally relatively open, became crowded in an instant: Huang Shaotian took Lu Hanwen and Shang Fangrui to seize the martial arts training ground first, and found people to compete with each other every day; Yu Wenzhou, Wang Jiexi, Luo Ji and Wei Chen were locked in the study room every day Lan Yu and the others were used to living in the south for a long time, and they were tossed to death by the cold south of the Yangtze River, so they all went to the city to buy cotton-padded clothes, and when they came back, they roasted orange slices around the stove to eat; Xiaobie hides from Lu Hanwen who wants to "practice" with him every day, so he has to go out to gather herbs with the team of Zhongcaotang and Xu Jingxi, An Wenyi, Yuan Baiqing, and Fang Minghua who practice apricot forest; Tang Rou is very excited, and Huang Shaotian and Lu Hanwen Fang Rui went around looking for people to discuss, and he did not forget to find Du Ming who "sent the challenge letter" before; Du Ming was naturally very happy to be able to discuss with the girl he admired, but he couldn't help but wonder how the talisman was passed on at that time. Yes, he was still like frost beating eggplants after he came back, so Lu Boyuan and Wu Qi had no choice but to cheer him up; Jiang Botao was the most kind among them, thinking that since he was a guest at Xingxin, he couldn't wear it like this, so he went to help Chen Guo with various affairs Mo Fanqiao, Yifan and Gao Yingjie were called to write various posts, but the ninja hadn't practiced calligraphy, and the writing was like a dog crawling, and the two had to copy it again; Li Xun was naturally very happy, and all day long Running around with a small notebook in my pocket, I only wish I had a few more ears and a few more hands to write down gossip...

In this chaos, it seems that Ye Xiu and Zhou Zekai have been forgotten—in fact, it was Ye Xiu who ignored Chen Guo's roar of "Where did that guy Ye Xiu die?" Followed Zhou Zekai to go to the roof of the backyard to bask in the sun.

The sun in winter is so warm that people just want to sleep on their bodies.Even the seasons have been warm these few days, and there is a little bit of Xiaoyangchun on the eve of the New Year's Eve.Ye Xiu didn't care about his image, he dressed thickly, and after chatting with Zhou Zekai, he always felt a little sleepy.Most of the time, Zhou Zekai asked Ye Xiu to take a nap on his shoulder, but when the wind started to blow or it was cold, he would wake him up.

It's really strange, although the battle is imminent, but the two of them are talking about things that don't make sense.When I was young, there was a dog named Xiao Dian at home. When I went to the market, I bought two chicks, but they were snatched away by bobcats overnight. The incision when I set up a stall in Chongzhou Chongfu, and the tips when I practiced plum blossom piles, The scenery of Cangzhou, the landscape of Huangshan, which Xiaolongbao restaurant in Jiangzhou is the best, how can there be a delicious mutton noodle soup in the city of reincarnation... Zhou Zekai didn't speak quickly, but Ye Xiu listened patiently. The two parallel rivers finally converged in one place silently.

Finally, on the morning of New Year's Eve, Ye Xiu finally went to take Zhou Zekai to Jiangzhou City to eat the steamed buns.The boss was about to close, but when he saw that it was a regular customer, he specially brought out the last basket.At this time, there are fewer people on the street, and all the distant visitors who should go home have already left by the first ferry, and few of them come to buy New Year's goods at the last minute.Zhou Zekai and Ye Xiu sat in front of an uneven table, eating the last few buns with a vinegar plate and two pairs of chopsticks.The place wasn't spacious, and they were so close together that their heads almost touched their heads when they lowered their heads, and their knees rubbed against their knees.

Ye Xiu ate his last bun, and after listening to the voices of people coming and going outside for a while, he suddenly asked, "——At that time, why did you think of asking me for a drink?"

"Because we have an appointment." Zhou Zekai raised his head, put down his chopsticks, and said very seriously.

"--why?"

Ye Xiu asked.This question, however, was not about the night on the roof of Xingxin Inn in Jiangzhou, but about the night after the Huashan Sword Trial, which was a long time ago.

Zhou Zekai was still looking at Ye Xiu.Because of his reticence, his eyes were always dark, as if he wanted to say all the words he didn't say.There can be too many answers to this question: because I admire One Autumn Leaf's demeanor.Because I feel empathy for the coldness of the heights.Because at that moment you were pulled out of the annoying entertainment.Or, simply, because of heartbeat.

But Zhou Zekai didn't say anything.

He looked at Ye Xiu for a long time, so long that the last steamed bun had lost its heat, the boss began to poke around to check on the situation of the two of them——Zhou Zekai finally organized the words:

"Because I don't want to see... senior so lonely again."

Ye Xiu also looked at him.

If it is normal, this can actually be a joke.As the fighting god, One Autumn Leaf, he shined brilliantly, even if he was kicked out by Excellent Era, he still has friends all over the world, and he made a comeback in less than a year, how can he talk about the word "lonely"?He is a friend, a comrade-in-arms, an opponent, a bad friend, a big brother, a teacher, a boss... Ye Xiu has a place beside everyone, he can always sing a long song, drink with each other, talk all night, fight side by side, Fighting with swords.

——But there is no position, which is given to him alone.

Until the young man in front of him came to him in the middle of the night not far away, six white stones, a three-year contract, and a jar of warm wine.

He said that if there is a battle with the seniors, it will be on the top of Mount Hua.

Ye Xiu suddenly laughed.

He stood up and extended his hand to Zhou Zekai: "Let's go back. If it's too late, the proprietress will be very upset when she finds out that we slipped out."

Zhou Zekai was a little dazed at first, but then he suddenly understood, stretched out his hand, and held the man's hand tightly, tightly.

This is not the first time they have shaken hands.

But it was the most powerful and intimate one.

At the New Year's Eve dinner that night, Li Xun took the lead and asked everyone to talk about their New Year's vision.Huang Shaotian was naturally the first to jump up: "Beat Ye Xiu to the ground!"

"Yeah." It was Mo Fan who unexpectedly picked up.

Now that this was the case, except for a few serious people such as Qiao Yifan and Gao Yingjie who said "success in learning", everyone agreed to beat Ye Xiu to the ground as if they had unified their voices.Until it was Zhou Zekai's turn at the end, the City Lord of Samsara looked at the man on the main seat with a look of "who is afraid of whom? At worst, let the horse come over", and said seriously: "Fight with senior on the top of Mount Hua."

Ye Xiu shook his head: "If it's March [-]rd, it's not easy."

Zhou Zekai smiled slightly and said nothing.

But Ye Xiu knew how seriously Zhou Zekai wanted to fight him in the ring.

——Then, it's an agreement, Xiao Zhou.

He answered the young man opposite with his eyes.

March [-]rd.

The final stage must belong to you and me.

So on this day, all the knights in the rivers and lakes came and went like a revolving lantern.Huang Shaotian finally defeated Jiang Botao, and was forced down by Zhang Jiale with Dazzling Hundred Blossoms.Relying on this weapon, Zhang Jiale actually fought the two of them consecutively before being defeated by Yu Feng in the end.However, Yu Feng never expected that Sun Zheping, who had retired due to injury before, would arrive at some time, wielding a epee without a front, and would kill both of them.Afterwards, Yu Wenzhou, who almost never played in the arena, even went up to the ring and used the big mudra method to force Sun Zheping off, and was forced off by Su Mucheng, who appeared on the stage, with a volley of arrows.But Su Mucheng's Lianzhu Arrow was not so lucky when it met Wang Jiexi. In the end, he was caught in the gap and approached him. After a fierce attack, he finally surrendered... Once this point was reached, the speed was extremely fast, and everyone grew old with each other. After so many years of opponents, they have long been familiar with who can beat whom, where their weaknesses are, and how to compete within a hair's breadth.

Naturally, Wei Chen also came off the stage. After bullying Misty Rain and Li Hua, he came back after being defeated as expected, and asked Ye Xiu, "Why don't you go down?"

"You don't understand." Ye Xiu was smoking his copper pipe, "For someone like me, you must wait until the last one. The finale of the show, you know?"

"Come on, if you want to fight Zhou Zekai, just say so, I won't laugh at you." Wei Chen stretched comfortably on the chair and said casually.

"how do you know?"

"No way, are you serious?" Wei Chen was a little surprised, "Why do you have to fight him?"

"It's an appointment. A gentleman's words cannot be unfaithful." Ye Xiu said, watching Han Wenqing step off the court - looking around, only Han Wenqing, Zhou Zekai and him were the only ones who hadn't made a move yet.As expected, after Han Wenqing defeated Wu Yuce, Zhou Zekai got up from the reincarnation seat and entered the ring.

"Reincarnation Zhou Zekai, ask senior for advice."

Han Wenqing, known as the King of Fighters, nodded, clasped his fists and saluted, "Please." Then he opened his posture.Zhou Zekai drew his long sword out of its sheath, just like Wang Qinghong.

At this moment, the sound of wind and thunder was heard frequently among the dense cumulus clouds in the sky, and they didn't know what happened to the fairy mountain floating island above the clouds.And the people in the field, no matter how distracted they were, just stared at this competition.Han Wenqing's boxing style is fierce, and Zhou Zekai's swordsmanship, which emphasizes one strike and fleeing, is completely different. No one thought that the two of them would fight well before.However, this time Zhou Zekai seemed to have changed his style of attack, and took a path that was only fast and unbreakable. He swung his long sword so seamlessly that even Han Wenqing couldn't find a gap, and finally rushed in rashly—— But it really fell into Zhou Zekai's trap.

In the end, all the tricks were exhausted, but the young Han Wenqing took a step back, looked at the calm young man in front of him, and said: "—You are fine." After finishing speaking, he turned around and went down.

Zhou Zekai was not so excited.Although this is the Huashan arena, but because of the agreement, everyone tried their best, but it can't be called a life-and-death fight—not to mention that Han Wenqing also fought once before, and this victory is not very gratifying.

——But still, it’s the last scene.

Zhou Zekai turned around and saw Ye Xiu stand up from the seat in Xingxin Villa.He picked up the Thousand Chance Umbrella that had been lying on his knee with one hand, shook it, and stretched it open. In the strong mountain wind, he walked towards the center of the ring like a big lotus leaf.

Everyone didn't know why, they all fell silent for a moment, they just watched Ye Xiu walk over and stand opposite Zhou Zekai; only the dark clouds rolled in the sky, and a series of thunder rolls past as if the sound of drums had long since stopped.

"Ye Xiu of Xingxin Villa," Ye Xiu said, very seriously, "——come to learn the best tricks of the city lord."

Zhou Zekai nodded and returned the salute with his sword in hand: "Zhou Zekai in Samsara City, I would like to compete with senior."

At this time, even standing on the ring, you can feel the pulsating yin and yang energy behind you.Ye Xiu slowly lowered the umbrella shield in his hand, and Zhou Zekai also opened his posture—it's just that the two slowly circled, but neither seemed to be able to find the other's opening, and they were unwilling to make the first move.At this moment, as if he had been waiting for too long, the big raindrops fell like this.

"pat"

There was almost an inaudible sound, but Ye Xiu and Zhou Zekai had jumped forward at the same time—the umbrella made a spear move, and the sword made a dangerous move, almost sparking a series of sparks in the air; The man had retreated and changed his moves again. Ye Xiu, as usual, started by shooting down the flower palm round dance stick. He was not afraid of Zhou Zekai's edge just now, and wanted to fight him quickly; but Zhou Zekai seemed to be more cautious than before, He only used the least effort and the least range of moves to parry, and he didn't want to fight Ye Xiu at all.

Huang Shaotian focused his attention, and said: "This is a clumsy way to control ingenuity. If you can continue to suppress, maybe Zhou Zekai can really withstand Ye Xiu's inexplicable combo."

"Although what you say is good, if you want to be able to defend against the real moves, you must know what Ye Xiu's next move is—" Yu Wenzhou was talking, when Ye Xiu suddenly pulled out the handle from the umbrella The fiery red sword came and stabbed three times in a row, disrupting Zhou Zekai's previous rhythm.

On the other side of the Chinese Herb Hall, Wang Jiexi didn't pay attention to the battle between the two.He pinched his fingers and calculated for a moment, then said: "——it will be done soon."

Just as he finished speaking, the talismans engraved within a hundred miles of Mount Hua suddenly lit up; even the deep valley sealed by Chu Yunxiu's technique revealed a ray of emerald green light.

Gao Yingjie said: "Teacher, I don't know what's going on above the sea of ​​clouds..."

Wang Jiexi smiled and said, "Look."

Gao Yingjie quickly raised his head to look up, and saw a faint green light falling from the rolling dark clouds, which seemed to be unable to cover it.

At this time, Ye Xiu and Zhou Zekai on the stage also naturally sensed the strange situation, as soon as the weapons were exchanged, they each took three steps back.The mammoth aura gathered from all around seemed to isolate them from the surroundings of the ring, and the weapons in their hands seemed to be possessed by yin and yang, and they each brought out white and black aura when they waved .

Ye Xiu looked at the Thousand Chance Umbrella in his hand, and said, "It looks like it's almost done."

Zhou Zekai nodded, but he couldn't suppress the fighting spirit in his eyes.

Ye Xiu tightened the handle of the umbrella, shouted: "Come on!" and leaned forward again.Zhou Zekai also flipped his wrist, and the long sword rushed forward like a black sword. The two saw each other's tricks, you came and went, one umbrella and one sword danced so that the water couldn't get in. It was better than Lin Jingyan and Fang Rui before. The dismantling of the move was pretty good-it only contained the murderous intent that was not there before.And the yin and yang energy collected by the magic circle, as they compare their weapons, gradually turns around like a taiji - just listen to the wind in the deep valley below the mountain, and even the flags around the field are not moving. Live fluttering, not a moment to stop.

But at this time, Ye Xiu's umbrella shield and Zhou Zekai's sword blades intersected, he simply used his strength to leap back, retracting his umbrella to make a spear - a crouching dragon soaring towards Zhou Zekai with an unstoppable momentum; but Zhou Zekai also Without retreating, the long sword in his hand suddenly seemed to have countless sword shadows, and the dense sword light wove into a big net, as if he wanted to trap Ye Xiu who rushed over, leaving him nowhere to go.

And when everyone was watching this move, suddenly the light from the sky and the valley seemed to have reached an agreement, and suddenly rose up, condensing into a huge tree shadow, covering everyone from the ground to the sky. His eyes were dazzled for a moment.And at the same moment, the raindrops, which were only a few scattered before, suddenly fell one after another as if they had received permission.

On the ring, in the shadow of the trees, Ye Xiu, who had changed his move, was scratched half a foot below his left rib; and Zhou Zekai was also cut an inch on his arm.But Ye Xiu only had a deeper smile on his face: "Are you still coming?"

Zhou Zekai's eyes were full of fighting intent, and a smile formed on his lips: "If senior wants to, I will accompany him."

"With your words," Ye Xiu drew the Thousand Chance Umbrella in a semicircle, and laughed loudly, "——I won't be afraid."

As they said that, the two people standing at both ends of the ring saw the rainstorm and tree shadows as nothing, and fought again.

Ye Qiu on the high platform in the north looked at the two fighting figures below, and shook his head: "They really are two guys who share the same taste."

Bai Shu beside him said: "My lord, now that the formation is completed, and the rain is getting heavy, it's okay to ask them to stop."

"No need. I think they are very happy playing, why bother?" Ye Qiu couldn't help laughing when he said this, "Look at them, even if they play for a lifetime, they don't feel bored."

——And that day, people with a radius of hundreds of miles all saw a giant green tree without branches and leaves between the sky and the earth, growing from the mountains of Huashan, and going straight through the clouds.Whether this is bad or good, no one can say for sure—and no one can think that it is the sign of the end of ten years of turmoil.
