Death Princess

The competition on the first day of the martial arts conference ended unexpectedly and smoothly before sunset.King Ping He Yupeng took advantage of the great name of the imperial envoy to take advantage of the fact that heroes from all walks of life gathered in Jianzong, anti-client, and set up a banquet on the site of Jianzong openly.

At the banquet, Ning Yuan, who was sitting under the hands of King Ping and Princess Changping, raised his wine glass in the direction of Duanmu Xi, and said politely: "This time Ning and Gouzi were able to escape from the assassins, thanks to Duanmu Shaozhuang. host……"

"General Ning was joking," Duan Muxi interrupted Ning Yuan's polite words with a complicated look, "General, you and the guards are brave and good at fighting, you should be a little assassin. At most, it provides a place to stay for the general and the guards..."

"Zhazaza, I have been with this Duanmuxi for dozens of days," he found an excuse to leave his seat and ran to Wei Zhuoxuan outside the cubicle, while playing with the hilt of the saber on his waist, he spoke to the long man beside him. The elder sister said, "He just said something human this time."

Hearing this, Wei Zhuoer shrugged his shoulders paradoxically, "Although King Ping's investigation of the assassin is just a formality, but if Duanmuxi doesn't clarify as soon as possible and let A Niang and Xini go down, I'm afraid the crown prince will really jump." Get up and find trouble in Feiling Villa, and of course, you don't have to think about being the leader of the martial arts."

"Why?" Wei Zhuoxuan blinked.

"..." Wei Zhuoer glanced at his younger brother in disgust, and tapped Wei Zhuoxuan on the forehead with a finger, "You are a fool, what have you learned by the emperor's side in the past few years? I want to find Shuangxue to come over and help you pry open the inside to see if there is grass growing."

"Sister, what are you doing?" Wei Zhuoxuan rubbed his head depressedly, "What have I learned all these years? Then, sister, what have you learned from being with that Chaolu all these years? Hu Yu? Do you really think that you are covering it up so well that Auntie didn't see it? The identity of the surname Leng is not as simple as Zhao Lu said, right?"

"Ah, I don't know what you're talking about." Wei Zhuoer scratched his nose.

"Zap, suck, it's really the water thrown by the married daughter."

"Ah?" He snapped his fingers again, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did your sister and I get married?"

"Look," but this time, Wei Zhuoxuan dodged wittily, "He's not even married yet, so he started turning his elbows outward."

"Say it again, boy?" Wei Zhuoer drew out his sword.

"Wei Zhuoer, turn your elbows away!" Wei Zhuoxuan yelled itchyly, while dodging his sister's sword, he rushed to the outside.

The Wei brothers and sisters rushed out of the house fighting like this, all the way to the valley, and near the sub-ring of the martial arts conference, and then stopped.

Unexpectedly, Leng Tong, who had gone all the way through the boring games on the first day, happened to pass by here, and she saw the two siblings playing.

Hearing the intermittent conversations between the siblings, Leng Tong's doubts intensified, and she subconsciously avoided the sight of the siblings.

. . .

At the same time, in a remote alley in Lingzhou.A group of men in black rushed to the street and disappeared into the distance.

"Ah..."

"Hush——" Ou Xueli had just stuck out half of her head from the eaves, and before she could fully utter her words, her sister Ou Xuemu slapped her mouth shut and pulled her back to her hiding place.He shrank his neck and glanced at the horrifyingly serious eyes of the elder sister behind him, then curled up obediently, and stopped talking.

After the footsteps of the group of men in black completely disappeared into the distance, Ou Xuemu grabbed Ou Xueli by the collar and jumped off the roof with his brother who was five or six years younger than him.

"Here." As soon as his feet landed, Ou Xuemu didn't care whether the younger brother had completely stood still, and pulled his right hand and pulled him into a deserted path.

Ou Xueli walked behind the elder sister with her neck drooping. Although her feet were sore and her whole body was in pain, when she saw the whip wound on the elder sister's neck that was not completely covered under the collar, he did not dare to make any sound of distress. .Because, he knew, it was all because of him that Ajie was punished, and Ajie, who was the top three in the dark cabinet, chose to risk her life to defect from the cabinet, and it was also because of him.He is sorry for sister, sorry before, sorry now,

In the future, I may also be sorry.

The two siblings walked forward quietly like this, out of the suburbs, into the mountains.Suddenly, Ou Xuemu stopped, turned around and looked at the younger brother from top to bottom, then squatted down with a frown, "Come up." She pointed to her back.

"But sister, your injury..." Ou Xueli was very surprised, and she blamed herself very much.

"Don't talk nonsense, come up quickly," Ou Xuemu's voice could not be refuted, "When you walk at this speed, I am afraid that people with foggy faces will find them soon."

"But..." He fixed his eyes on the deep scar on the back of his sister's neck, and dared not go forward for a long time.

"Quick!" Ou Xueli gave the younger brother a hard look, and Ou Xueli was so scared that he swallowed all his words.

Ou Xueli gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and carefully jumped onto Ou Xueli's back.The back with no intact skin twitched reflexively under the sudden weight, but Ou Xuemu forced herself to carry the younger brother up without saying a word, as if the person who hurt was not herself.

After Ou Xuemu carried Ou Xueli on his back, the speed of the two siblings' escape was indeed much faster.Ou Xuemu climbed mountains and ridges all the way with lightness kung fu, while Ou Xueli on her back was already bumped and lost her direction.

After an unknown amount of time, when the sun was setting, the siblings stopped by the gate of a ruined temple.Ou Xuemu put down his younger brother, took out an old letter paper from his bosom, carefully studied the contents of the letter, turned around and looked around the village, and finally stopped his helpless eyes on the letter hanging on the gate. That huge brass lock.

"Sister, do you want to unlock it?" Oxueli stepped forward a few steps.

Ou Xuemu nodded, reached out and picked up the green rusty brass lock, looked at the keyhole again and again, and said, "I'm afraid this lock can't be opened by force."

"Would you like me to try?" Ou Xueli rolled up his sleeves and walked forward as if he had finally found his place.

Ou Xuemu carefully looked at his younger brother's swearing expression, nodded hesitantly, and handed the lock out.

O'Xueli breathed out excitedly on his hand, then pinched his index finger and thumb out of thin air, a layer of ice crystals that came from nowhere slowly extended from his two fingertips, and gradually entered the keyhole.As the ice crystals gradually penetrated into the depths, the structure of the ice crystals also changed according to the pattern of the lock cylinder. For this unexpected smoothness, Ou Xueli bit her lower lip with a sense of accomplishment.Little by little, as the ice crystals stretched little by little, Ou Xuemu's face behind him turned black little by little.

Click!When the lock was unlocked, Ou Xueli clapped her hands excitedly, turned around and waited for her sister's praise.

It's a pity that what he waited for was the cold accusation from the elder sister, "When did you learn the cold spirit technique?" Ou Xuemu's face was as dark as An Ye, "Have you ever shown your spiritual power in front of outsiders? "

After the surprise, loss, and grievance, Ou Xueli's heart was full of anger: "Why not? Sister, you can use spiritual power, why can't I? We are spirit race, as spirit race, why can't we use spirit power?" force?"

"Why not?" Ou Xuemu grabbed the younger brother's collar, "Ou Xueli, do you really not know or fake? Are you impatient? I am afraid that the ubiquitous Feng Yuwei will not Do you know that you are an evil race? Or do you feel that the dark pavilion has not taught you enough? You want to change to a deeper dungeon? You were dealt with by the foggy face, not just because of the private report of the selection exam, right? "

Ou Xuemu, who was still holding on to the slightest hope and counting on his younger brother to deny everything, saw Ou Xueli's face stubbornly glanced aside, the anger in his heart was completely ignited, "Ou Xueli!! You really dare! As a People from the Dark Pavilion actually sold the secrets of the Dark Pavilion!! You know..."

"There is a dark pavilion on the left, and there is a dark pavilion on the right! Sister, please figure it out, the dark pavilion is no longer Daddy's dark pavilion! Daddy is gone long ago!!" Ou Xueli yelled like a wild cat whose tail was trampled on. Get up, vent something that has been backlogged for a long time, "You are always like this, you keep saying that it is for my own good, and you don't ask me what I want, but you make all the decisions for me. You never ask me why I want In doing so, you will only blame me!"

"Do you think I think so? The reason why we stayed in the secret cabinet and were oppressed everywhere was not your decision, sister? Back then, three years ago, when father just left, that person came to look for you, right?" You said you wanted to take our siblings away? But what about you? You refused! You refused just like that! You and I were left in that dark pavilion where people can’t spit out their bones!! Why didn’t you go with her? ?Why?"

"...You don't understand." Ou Xue stared blankly, the anger suppressed in her heart was overwhelmed by the sudden guilt.She put down her younger brother with difficulty, avoiding his gaze.

"Heh, look," O'Xueli straightened her own collar, "I was dismissed with another sentence of 'I don't understand'."

This time, Ou Xuemu did not answer, but directly pushed the door and walked into the door that seemed to have not been opened for a long time.Ou Xueli followed the eldest sister two steps away without saying a word, and walked in.

After the door was pushed open, the surrounding scene was like a magic trick. The dilapidated temple became a village with people coming and going in a burst of white mist.Ou Xueli opened her mouth wide and looked at the unpredictable things in front of her, but Ou Xuemu seemed to have known it a long time ago. She passed the curious eyes of the villagers and walked straight to a house in the deepest part of the village.

This is a shabby house, the yard is overgrown with weeds, and the house is densely covered with dust. Every time you take two steps forward, a layer of cobwebs will mercilessly stick to the noses of the siblings.

Ou Xuemu randomly found a stool-like object in the room, swept the ashes and sat on it, facing Fang Jinmen Ou Xueli, bit her lips lightly, suppressed her feelings, and asked a little tiredly: "Ali, my sister will ask you again, have you ever used spiritual power in front of others?"

Have you ever used spiritual power in front of others?

Ou Xueli thought of some things in recent days, he avoided the elder sister's eyes guiltyly, and replied with both truth and falsehood: "No."

"That's good." I don't know if I didn't see the young brother's strange expression, or because I have given up on pursuing the matter, Ou Xuemu sighed, "Ali, you are growing up too, since you blamed sister for always restraining you and hiding the truth from you." For you, then," said earnestly, "From now on, you can decide everything for yourself. But, remember, don't use spiritual power in front of others, even those you can't trust."

"Hmm..." I don't know if I listened, Ou Xueli nodded, looked at the dilapidated house, and asked as if changing the subject, "Where is this?"

"The place where my mother lived before she married my father."

"What about A Niang...?" This is a question that Ou Xueli has asked many times, but has not been answered once.

But this time, Ou Xuemu answered: "Aniang is gone," she took a deep breath, "After giving birth to you, she left."

After giving birth to me, A Niang left.

Dystocia...

Ou Xueli understood what the elder sister meant.Rarely, he actually somewhat understood why Father and Sister kept in front of him and kept silent about A Niang.He lowered his gaze, not knowing how to react.

In the following time, the siblings just sat quietly in their mother's former home without speaking.

. . .

At night, a black eagle flew into the village and landed on a window of the dilapidated house.

O'Xueli, who was half asleep and half awake, got out of bed yawning, but after seeing Hawkeye on the window sill, she was completely sleepless.He moved to the window sill step by step, each step was heavy and slow.A seriousness and heaviness that Ou Xuemu had never seen before quietly climbed onto the face of the boy who hadn't grown up yet.

When he came to the window, O'Xueli stuffed the note in the palm of his hand into the envelope on the right foot of the black eagle. The black eagle waved its wings in front of him and was about to leave, but he grabbed the black eagle by the neck, and the eyes in his eyes Braving the flames that did not belong to his age, "He promised that he would not hurt our siblings." He pinched it deadly, but he pinched it very accurately, making it impossible for Black Eagle to struggle.

After the eagle's cry resounded through the sky, Ou Xueli finally let go of his hand, letting the black eagle fly away with the village's secrets and Ou Xueli's selfishness.
