【Yi Tian and Ren Minruo】Floating Life

Since Zhao Min left, in March in Yangchun, the sun is warm and windy, and the small town under the mountain is full of flowers and birds singing crisply, showing the harmony and beauty of the early days.

In the battle of Guangmingding, Mingjiao, with the help of Zhang Wuji, stopped fighting with the six major factions for the time being, and repaired the guilt, but Jujue was still resentful. dissatisfied.

"Master, I met some heroes from the Wudang sect just now, and they came here to pay a special visit." Zhou Zhiruo, who was staying at the inn, happened to bump into Song Qingshu and the others, and after a few gentle inquiries, he brought Song Yuanqiao and Song Qingshu to the hotel In the extermination room.

"I've met the teacher." Zhou Zhiruo walked to Juejue's side, and Song Qingshu and Song Qingshu bowed to each other, but seeing Juejue turned his face faster than turning over a book, he sneered, "Shouldn't you be chatting with Zhang Wuji at Guangmingding? Why? Going down the mountain, Zhang Wuji's defense of the Demon Sect is obvious to all, maybe the Demon Sect monsters have already enshrined him as a great Buddha, you Wudang has such a number one person, it is really a blessing after a hundred years of cultivation."

What he said was explicit and implicit, and one could know that Juejue had already classified Wudang as an accomplice of Mingjiao and Zhang Wuji in his heart.

But Song Yuanqiao was familiar with Zhang Wuji's nature, and he didn't want to argue with Jujue and hurt others with his words, so he slowly explained: "Master, Wuji is kind in nature, he defends Mingjiao, but he doesn't want to see endless killings, I want to go through the battle of Guangmingding, Everyone in the Ming Cult will be grateful, listen to Wuji's words, and walk on the right path."

As soon as she heard it, Juejue thought that she had misunderstood because she had been preoccupied recently and had trouble falling asleep. She snorted coldly in disbelief, and then made her attitude clear: "If that's the case, then I'd like to see, it's the Demon Cult who followed Zhang Wuji. To correct evil and return to righteousness, it is still Zhang Wuji who joins forces with the Demon Sect to dominate the world, if this day really comes, we Emei will definitely tell the people in the martial arts that everything is thanks to you Wudang."

Of course, Song Yuanqiao is a smart person, how could he not know the meaning revealed between the lines of Extinction, but since this is the case, there is no need to explain further.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this idea came out, Song Qingshu beside him said eagerly: "Master, Zhang Wuji is Zhang Wuji, Wudang is Wudang, you can't generalize, what Zhang Wuji does alone does not represent us..."

"Differences do not conspire with each other, Zhiruo, see off the guests." Before Song Qingshu could complete his sentence, he was choked in his throat by a cold sentence from Jue Jue.

It's all in this situation, it's useless to say more, Song Yuanqiao knew it well, he dragged Song Qingshu who still wanted to explain, and walked directly downstairs.

"Zhiruo, me! Our Wudang and Zhang Wuji are different, I..." Song Qingshu was unwilling to leave, he was helplessly dragged by his father while calling Zhou Zhiruo's name, obviously what he just said was true It was to explain to Zhou Zhiruo.

In this way, Wu Dang and others left the inn under the leadership of Song Yuanqiao, who was rather sullen.

But after a while, Zhou Zhiruo, who sent them away, returned to the extermination room, but saw her master's eyes suddenly glued to her body, and after a long time, she made a gesture: "Zhiruo, I can tell that Song Qingshu likes you as a teacher."

"Master, this..." For a moment, she didn't know how to answer. Since the day when Wudang met again, Song Qingshu cared about her extremely, and her eyes were full of affection. She has always been smart, so how could she not see it, but really has been deliberately avoided.

"You don't answer, is it because of that brat Zhang Wuji?" Juejue's tone was originally flat without any ups and downs. When he mentioned Zhang Wuji, he was like a shipwreck on the sea, and his anger was hard to dissipate. You can see it clearly, that kid is interested in you, are you also attracted to him?"

"Master, I don't." Hearing this, for some reason, she suddenly shook her head in denial.

Then seeing Jue Jue angry, it was hard to keep talking: "It's not the best, he helps the Demon Cult is equivalent to a Demon Cult demon, if you see him next time, you can't be merciful, kill him while he is not on guard against you Caught off guard."

"Master, he..." Zhou Zhiruo was anxious to explain something, and just as she spoke, Juejue's sharp and piercing voice suddenly sounded, and she said, "He is an accomplice of the demon cult's demons. If you don't kill him, you want to disobey the master. life?"

"I don't have a disciple, I don't mean that." Zhou Zhiruo raised her brows and answered, lowering her head for a moment, in a state of hesitation. One is her master and the other is her old childhood friend. How should she choose?

However, Juejue Shitai's eyes are as bright as a torch. She knows that Zhou Zhiruo's nature is not as cruel and decisive as Ding Minjun's, but the more she can't bear it, the more she is unwilling to do it, Juejue will force her even more.

Just because after Ji Xiaofu died, Zhou Zhiruo was the best candidate she picked to be the next head of Emei. In this way, if you can't do anything to others, kindness is cruel to yourself. How can you manage such a huge sect in the future? Woolen cloth?

"Nothing is the best, don't let the teacher find out that you have double intentions, and show mercy to that kid, otherwise you will know the consequences." Listen carefully, three points for orders, seven points for warnings, Zhou Zhiruo understands in her heart, she No more words, just Qinghong nodded.

Although the matter of Zhang Wuji was put aside for the time being, there was also the matter of Zhao Min. If there was something difficult to sort out, it would be more troublesome.

Zhou Zhiruo's hanging heart was just a little bit relieved, when he was suddenly asked heavily by Extermination, and suddenly tensed up, the humane said: "Zhiruo, as a teacher, I see that kid surnamed Zhao is also very concerned about you, and may even care about you." You have a crush on him, and if you say you don't like Zhang Wuji, then you don't like the guy named Zhao, do you?"

"This! I..." Her throat was gurgling, murmuring, trembling, but she couldn't get it out, and finally hesitated, her thoughts went around a thousand times, but she could only say two words in a deep voice, "No. "

Unknowingly, Zhao Min's weight in her heart has slowly gathered, and she doesn't know what's wrong with herself, maybe it's because that person saved her from the siege at Guangmingding, so she is grateful, or maybe that person always He will stand up to protect himself intentionally or unintentionally, so he will classify this little lewd thief who is taking advantage of others as Mr. Qianran.

On the other side, after hearing Zhou Zhiruo's words, Juejue breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about it, Zhao Min's identity was quite secretive and impossible to find out, so it seemed that he was even more worrying and vigilant than Zhang Wuji.

"It's not the best. No matter how you look at this guy named Zhao, he always feels that she is not an ordinary son. She must have a lot of background. This kind of person is even more dangerous. Zhiruo, you must be careful in the future and don't associate with her. , so as not to be taken advantage of without even knowing." Extinction said slowly.

It was in Zhou Zhiruo's ears, and even more so in her heart. Before Zhao Min left, she also said [Forever and ever, we will meet again if we are destined], how could I know that those four words are still gone now.

Afterwards, she hesitated for a while, and then obeyed the teacher's order, and replied softly: "Yes."

In a long life, sometimes you will unconsciously push the distance closer and further away, Zhou Zhiruo is like this, and Zhao Min is also the same.

They don't know that when we are on a long journey, you and I don't intend to be a hasty passer-by, but we have to do it as a last resort.

……

On the other side, the evening wind whistled a few times, Song Qingshu and Song Yuanqiao left the inn, and they had only walked for a short distance. Everyone suddenly felt that their muscles and bones were weak, and their internal strength seemed to be drained instantly.

When I was feeling uncomfortable, I suddenly saw a group of people who came out of nowhere, surrounded them, and said bluntly that their master wanted to invite them to visit, Wudang and others were naturally unwilling, but now don't say that they want to be with these people Hand to hand, even raising a sword has become a problem.

When Song Yuanqiao saw this, he knew that they had plotted against them and was poisoned. He was quick to get wise, and he asked Song Qingshu to return to the inn by the same route, and went to find people from Emei to help them.

Unexpectedly, the inn was also completely helpless.

Song Qingshu panicked, glanced at the pale Zhou Zhiruo, and said worriedly: "Zhiruo, are you also poisoned?"

Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help lowering her head, and then raised her eyes for a moment, and saw the two old men leading many people into the inn, with a murderous look hidden in their eyes, almost approaching.

"Hey, this is dizzy. It seems that the dignified Wudang and Emei are nothing more than this. They don't even notice Shixiang Ruanjin powder in their meals." One of them laughed.

Another old man with curly brows, long beard and jet-black hair said with a smile, "Third brother is right, the master said that these two sects are the most ignorant of flattery, and the only way to attract them is to use this trick. "

"You despicable and shameless people, what are you trying to do with us in this way?" Hearing this, Juejue looked at the two people in front of him in shock, and said angrily.

After hearing this, the two of them raised their heads and laughed at the same time: "Nothing to do? It's just that my master wants to invite all the major factions to go and talk about it."

Afterwards, they looked coldly at Emei and the others who were all around weak, and after a long time, Ah Da said calmly, "Who is Zhou Zhiruo here, stand up."

Hearing the name of the same sect, most of the disciples glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Zhou Zhiruo who was leaning against the edge of the wooden ladder in the inn. Before they could make a sound, they were stared at by Miejue Xingyan who was standing next to Zhou Zhiruo, and all their curiosity was wiped away. .

"Stand up soon." Ah Sannu snorted softly, and Ah Da next to him was quite discerning, as early as the curious glance of the Emei disciples had already revealed the clues, and his master said that Zhou Zhiruo was born with a beautiful face. That's the woman in the white shirt next to the old thief.

"Third brother." Ah San's elbow was bumped lightly, he followed Ah Da's gaze, and he could make a judgment at a glance, then the thief smiled and said, "Yo, so she is a little beauty, No wonder, no wonder, come and take her away first."

As soon as these words fell to the ground, the man in black immediately stepped forward like an arrow from the string.

Seeing this, Jue Jue shielded Zhou Zhiruo behind him, feeling a sudden hatred, and stopped him first: "Go away, what do thieves like you want me to do to my apprentice?"

Although Juejue lost all his internal energy, the thunderous and furious look on his face still made people feel lingering fear.

However, now that Emei and the others are in their pocket, how can they be frightened, those two men are as fierce as eagles, and with a sudden force of both hands, they push Extinction away lightly.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhiruo had quick hands and eyes, and hurried forward to support Juejue who was about to fall backwards. At this time, Juejue also took the opportunity to whisper a word in Zhou Zhiruo's ear, and was pushed away again by those two evil spirits.

"Let me go." Zhou Zhiruo struggled, a thick palm suddenly hit her neck, and the unconscious person was taken away first under the worried eyes of the crowd.

"Come here, take the remaining people away." Ah San waved his hand, and immediately many people rushed out from behind, dragging away all the people in the inn by force.

One by one, figures went out from the inn and disappeared into the vast night. It seemed to be more or less auspicious.

……

Day and night alternate, sunlight and moonlight pass through the window, splash into the air, and then shake down on the ground, like the fireworks of time bypassing the gap between spring, summer, autumn and winter, leaving and returning without knowing it.

The first time she woke up, she saw herself lying on the bed safe and sound, and then tried to struggle to escape from this simple house, which was really a cage that imprisoned her.

But her heart is strong but not strong enough.

In desperation, she remembered the last sentence Juejue said to her [If you can escape, then run away, if you can't, play by ear, remember to protect yourself].

Maybe there is still hope. Zhou Zhiruo has figured out the general situation outside these few days, and someone will replace her guard at midnight. go out.

However, the door was locked, and the surrounding windows were protected by iron bars. Presumably, they were built to prevent him from escaping. The only way was to let the night watchman outside take the initiative to open the door, and then took the opportunity to leave.

After a while, there were a few bangs and bangs, and the man outside felt relieved. He didn't open the door immediately, but leaned against the door and looked inside from the hidden compartment.

Seeing Zhou Zhiruo laying motionless on the ground, looking pale and uncomfortable, the man was in a state of panic. Could it be that Zhou Zhiruo had been on a hunger strike for the past few days, not taking half a drop of Tommy, which led to his incompetent collapse?

She is the master's honored guest, if something goes wrong, she might not be able to move in the next moment, and then he became nervous, carefully took out the key, and opened the door to check in a hurry.

"Girl, are you okay?" He raised his eyebrows and asked worriedly, then pushed Zhou Zhiruo, seeing that she didn't respond, his heart sank, and he became even more flustered.

After pushing again, Zhou Zhiruo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then a weak breath overflowed from her lips, gathering into a heavy word: "Water."

The man's brows were frowned, he had no time to look forward and backward, and immediately got up and took a step outside. Before the door could be closed, it was as if a heavy hammer had been dropped on his head. A wooden chair almost exhausted all the strength in Zhou Zhiruo's body.

The poison of Shixiang Ruanjin Powder has not been cured yet, she just feels dizzy and can't exert all her strength, but she can't hesitate, because her master doesn't know who's in the hands, let alone whether he's safe or not, so she just Can go to find other people in the martial arts to come to help.

People who stumbled along the way left footprints along the deep mountain forest, which unfortunately became the best sign for her captors.

"The girl in front, I advise you not to waste your energy in vain. You have lost all your internal strength now. If you can't run away from us, you should go back with us obediently." At some time, besides the sound of the trickling stream, there was also a sound of The man's deep and mellow voice.

Zhou Zhiruo was startled suddenly, and when she turned around, as expected, the man who woke up and the man who came to replace him still caught up with her.

"Girl, our master said that as long as you stay in the house for a while, he will let you go after the master's work is done, so don't be afraid, just follow me back." The sound of water was crisp and clear. These words, in Zhou Zhiruo's ears, sounded like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

She shook her head and kept stepping back until she felt a bit of coolness under her feet, only then did she know that there was no way to retreat.

"You despicable villains, I won't go back with you." As soon as Zhou Zhiruo's words fell, the water on the side twisted, and then rolled upside down. In front of them, they were rushed a few feet away, fell on their backs, and hit their heads on the bluestone by the stream, blood gushing out like a fountain.

"Thank you hero for saving your life." Zhou Zhiruo saw the corners of the two men's mouths twitch a few times, their eyes widened, and there was a strange hooting sound, but after a while they stood still in the blood red, and then saw the creek A white-haired old man next to him expressed his gratitude in his heart.

"You're welcome, it's just fate." The old man's voice was hoarse and deep, he left a sentence and disappeared by the bubbling stream in an instant.

Zhou Zhiruo didn't have time to think so much, so she ran directly down the mountain. For a moment, the hem of her skirt fluttered in the west wind, and her pretty face flashed in the morning light.

……

"Master, should we go to Shaolin or Wudang first?" Ku Toutuo's hoarse guttural voice sounded beside the handsome young man in white.

The man shook his jade fan lightly, and said softly: "Put Shaolin first, and then destroy Wudang."

Ku Toutuo was overjoyed, a smile was on his lips as he wished, and he replied lightly: "Yes." Then he went straight to the direction of Shaolin Temple with many masters.

……

After knowing the real cause of Ji Xiaofu's death, Yin Liting, the Sixth Hero of Wudang Yin, felt as if his mind was in a nightmare, and rushed down from the Guangming Peak in shame and anger like a demon, and then fell into the virtual world of drunkenness all day long.

However, due to the misfortune of being drunk, he met two people whose martial arts looked like Shaolin, and broke his limbs with the powerful Vajra Fingers.

Later discovered by Mingjiao and others, Zhang Wuji said that it was the Shaolin people who were injured, so he wanted to talk about justice, and took Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao and others to the Shaolin Temple, but saw that it was a mess, and there were signs of the fight everywhere. , there was no monk, and sixteen characters were found on the back of the four golden Buddha statues [First punish Shaolin, then destroy Wudang, only my Mingjiao, Wulin will be king].

It was as if people were sitting at home, misfortunes fell from the sky, pots fell from the top of their heads, Zhou Dian was furious at the moment, and scolded those who slandered and blamed those who blamed him.

Zhang Wuji was relatively calm, and he touched it carefully. It is conceivable that the next target is Wudang of his grand master, and there is no delay in going to the rescue. He instructed: "Wudang sect is where my father was born, and grand master has treated me with great kindness. , Now it’s a catastrophe, saving people is like putting out a fire, it’s better to arrive at a quarter earlier, and now Wei Bat King and I are one step ahead, as for the other Mingjiao brothers at the foot of the mountain, everything will follow the command and arrangement of Yang Zuoshi and grandpa, and come to Wudang immediately after the rendezvous As soon as the voice was finished, he used lightness kung fu, and the speed of the gallop was so fast that it disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Without a moment's delay, the two of them galloped on for tens of miles without letting up, but suddenly they saw a group of people deliberately blocking them in a forest.

"Master, you just have to go on your way, just wait for the rats to hand over to me, Wei Yixiao, and I promise to beat them to death." As soon as the words came out, Wei Yixiao quickly leaned forward. Even if it is difficult to win, it is still possible to protect yourself.

Zhang Wuji understood, clamped his horse's belly tightly, and Juechen rushed to Wudang Mountain, galloping all the way to the north of Hubei.

About half a day later, the horse stopped in front of the Wudang Gate, and was about to leap forward, when suddenly a tree branch behind him was crushed and creaked, he immediately became vigilant and turned back quickly.

A petite figure, wearing Wudang attire, Zhang Wuji raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and with a show of lightness kung fu, he lifted the man halfway in front of his eyes.

"...Zhiruo, why is it you?" Seeing that it was Zhou Zhiruo who came, Zhang Wuji couldn't help but feel his heart tighten, he hurriedly put down the pretty figure gently, then fixed his eyes on Li Rong, and asked.

"Brother Wuji, it's me. I'm here to seek help from Master Zhang." It's likely that Shixiang Ruanjinxiangsan has accumulated poison for a long time, and in addition to traveling day and night, his strength has been exhausted from swimming.

Zhang Wuji saw that she was so weak, her face was pale and weak, he couldn't help worrying, and then he exerted his internal strength a little, coated his palms with Jiuyang Zhenqi to stabilize Zhou Zhiruo's falling body, and said worriedly, "Don't talk about it, there is one more urgent matter right now. , let’s go, I’ll take you in.”

The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was blue. Zhang Wuji stretched out his arms, hugged Zhou Zhiruo and jumped into Wudang Mountain.

……

After entering, Zhang Wuji also changed clothes with Wudang disciple Qingfeng, and he and Zhou Zhiruo pretended to be disciples going to carry Yu Daiyan.

As soon as he entered the door, he realized that something was wrong, and after listening to the conversation between Zhenren Zhang and Yu Daiyan, he knew that someone pretended to be a Shaolin monk and told him about the massacre in Shaolin. Hit him on the stomach.

The sneak attack was so hard to guard against, Zhang Sanfeng had a hundred years of cultivation, but after being hit by Shaolin's foreign martial arts "Vajra Prajna Palm", his face was instantly as white as white paper, and his internal organs were shaken so that blood gushed out.

Yu Daiyan was startled suddenly, but he was disabled, so he couldn't step forward to help his master, so he had to watch Zhang Sanfeng respond quickly, he swung his left palm out, and hit Kongxiang's sky spirit cover with a soft slap.

This palm was as soft as cotton, firmer than iron, Kong Xiang's skull was crushed immediately, he collapsed like a pile of wet mud, he died without making a sound.

However, the power of the Vajra Prajna Palm of the Shaolin School is very important, if it is not raised for three months, the injury may not be able to heal.

When he was worried, a disciple's hurried voice suddenly came from outside, saying that the Devil's Sect brigade had arrived outside the palace, and they wanted to see him, and they also uttered wild words, saying that they would crush the Wudang sect.

The moment he heard it, Zhang Sanfeng was furious, another mouthful of blood gushed out like a spring, Yu Daiyan saw this, and shouted quickly: "Shut up, don't say any more."

Those who reported outside the room immediately closed their mouths and stood silently at the same place, while the people in the inner room were clear-eyed. At this time, Wudang was outnumbered. Without Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou and others in the battle, only Zhang Sanfeng was left in Wudang Mountain to fight against the enemy.

Now he is seriously injured again, the martial arts of the other three or four generations of disciples are not worth mentioning, and they will die in vain if they go out to defend against the enemy.

After thinking about it, Zhang Sanfeng felt that as the master of Wudang, he had the right to protect the lives of all his disciples, and he didn't care about the outcome of life or death.

It's just that this time, it's close to death, but Wudang's unique learning can't be interrupted, someone needs to inherit it, so at present, except for Yu Daiyan, there is no one else who can let him teach it with confidence.

And Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo who were behind Yu Daiyan were even more stunned. Zhang Sanfeng stood up slowly, with his hands drooping, the backs of his hands outward, his fingers slightly relaxed, his feet parallel to each other, and then his arms were slowly raised to his chest. Ring, palm and face to form a yin palm, turn the right palm to form a yang palm, follow the starting gesture and perform one move at a time, grab the bird's tail, single whip, lift the hand up, the white crane spreads its wings, hugs the knees and hooks the step , waving the pipa, moving forward and moving the hammer... Every move contains Tai Chi-style yin and yang changes, subtle and subtle, and it really opened up a new world that has never been seen in martial arts.

The two of them could see very clearly that they were all gifted in martial arts and had the ability to remember with a photographic memory. In this way, every formula, every move, when they first heard the Dao, they were overjoyed, and then they would be overjoyed. Wen has been engraved in my heart and engraved in my mind.

After about a while, a rough voice suddenly came from outside: "Since the old Taoist Zhang Sanfeng shrank his head, let's kill his disciples and grandchildren first, and then burn this Taoist temple to see if he can't come out."

Yu Daiyan was furious when he heard such insulting words to his master, his eyes were about to burst into flames, but he heard Zhang Sanfeng first said: "Daiyan, my master said that the most important thing about the unique skills of this school is to learn to endure humiliation and bear the burden. At this time, you must not forget that no matter how many people from the Demon Sect will attack us in Wudang, in short, you must not be impulsive and survive, and it is your current responsibility to bear the humiliation and pass on the art."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Sanfeng patted Yu Daiyan on the shoulder lightly, stroked his mustache, and then strode towards the door.

When Yu Daiyan saw Master Zhang leaving, he panicked and said hurriedly, "Take me to follow Master." Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji lifted up the soft chairs and followed behind Zhang Sanfeng.
