Looking for plums under the moon

Ling Guyue's hands were still trembling slightly, not from being shaken by the sword, but from being angry.

The moment the door opened just now, the familiar aura he touched reminded him that this was Pingchuan's internal strength, and Shen Luo really hadn't lost his martial arts.

Whether it was pretending not to open the door in Liu Jia Town, whether it was silently following him in the middle of the night, or designing a small enmity, it was all another deception he wove.

It turns out that he is the same as his master and Uncle Ge, and his words are high-sounding, but they are actually plotting for selfish purposes.What close relatives, siblings?It's just a chess piece that can be manipulated.

He looked at Shen Luo coldly, "Do you have something to say?"

It was still a voice as clear as a spring, but now it was alienated.

Seeing the person coming, Shen Luo hurriedly hid his hands behind his back. In a split second, the internal force that erupted just now disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

Shen Luo's throat was dry, "Brother, why are you here?"

Ling Guyue stepped into the room, stopped when she was only a foot away from him, looked straight into his black eyes, and said in a tougher tone, "What else do you have to say?"

Shen Luo looked at his angry face, avoided his gaze, and said in a low voice, "Senior brother... I didn't intend to kill him."

Ling Guyue suppressed her anger, looked at Zhang Yi who was already on the ground, who was already unknown, "Yes, you didn't want to kill someone, you just wanted to cut off his arm... that's all right? Why did you lie to me that I lost all my martial arts? "

His eyes fell on Zhang Yi, and Shen Luo's eyes were filled with disgust, "He has dirty thoughts about Senior Brother."

"What about your martial arts? You just recovered today, right?" Ling Guyue sneered, "Or do you want to continue to use bitterness to plot against me?"

Shen Luo lowered his eyes and said nothing, and there was only silence in the room for a moment, so quiet that a needle could be heard.

Ling Guyue gritted her teeth and said: "Uncle Ge is one of the Hongying Shuangxia, Lin Jue is the landlord of Shuyinglou, and Xiao Qiu was picked up by the master. They have been immersed in the world for many years, and they are not close relatives to me. Even if I was deceived by them, I only took it as a lesson. Later I realized that even the master was fake. He taught me martial arts and raised me, but he just used me. , fortunately there is you... but I never thought that even you are lying to me, do you know that the last thing I want to see in this world is you lying to me?"

Shen Luo heard the words, the blood on his face faded, his fingertips trembled slightly, "Senior brother, I'm sorry..."

Seeing that he did not make excuses, Ling Guyue broke the last string hanging in her heart.Taking a step back, he laughed at himself and said, "I thought in vain that you would..."

After practicing the Ten Directions Forbidden Technique, the Fengchi acupoint will become a fatal acupoint, and the old man Jingshan was hit by Shen Luo and died.But Xiao Qiu's palm didn't kill Shen Luo, nor ruined his cultivation. Could it be that he didn't practice ten directions forbidden technique at all?To this day, he can no longer tell which of Shen Luo's words is true and which is false.

Thinking about this, Ling Guyue stared at him, "Have you ever practiced the ten-direction forbidden technique?"

Shen Luo nodded.

"Then why are you okay?"

Shen Luo murmured: "The Fengchi acupoint is the weak point only when you use your internal strength. That day you and I confronted each other, and I never used my internal strength from the beginning to the end..."

Ling Guyue's heart was inexplicably sour, looking at his silent face, she was relatively speechless.

After a while, Ling Guyue sighed, picked up the Flowing Sword from the ground, "Shen Luo, do you still remember the three taboos?"

Shen Luo said: "Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy..."

"But you didn't do any of them, and you made mistakes again and again. I can't indulge you for the rest of your life." Ling Guyue turned around and walked slowly towards the door, "From now on, I don't want to see you again. you."

Hearing his calm tone, Shen Luo's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly reached out to grab his wrist, "Senior brother..."

Ling Guyue looked back at the connected hands of the two, and said lightly: "I will help you find a solution for the Nuanyanyu matter. As for the Hongyao King, as the head of Pingchuan, you can ask for it from Jiaochen Pavilion. Question." Mei Feng slightly retracted, retracted his hands and sleeves, and was about to go out.

"Senior brother!" The tone of the person behind him became distressed.

Ling Guyue ignored it and just walked out the door.

Suddenly a gust of wind hit, avoiding Ling Guyue and slapping on the two wooden doors, only to hear a "bang", the door in front of her was completely closed.

Shen Luo said anxiously: "Brother, I will never lie to you again!" Then he stretched out his hand to keep him.

Ling Guyue immediately took a step back, raised her long sleeves, turned into a sharp palm, intending to separate the two.

Shen Luo was taken aback for a moment, he could have avoided the palm, but instead of dodging, he went up to meet it.

A solid palm landed on his heart, and with a muffled groan, Shen Luo staggered back a few steps.

Ling Guyue frowned and looked at him, only to see him smile, covered his wound and said: "I was wrong... Senior Brother hit me and scolded me, I have no complaints, I just beg you not to be angry with me."

In the past when we were in Pingchuan, occasionally someone would discuss Shen Luo in private, with expressions of admiration and awe on their faces.It is said that he is so obsessed with practicing kung fu that he often forgets to control his strength, even if he hurts himself, he doesn't know it.Unexpectedly, he is not only cruel to others, but also to himself.

Ling Guyue closed her eyes, took a long breath, and when she opened them, there was no emotion in her eyes, "You are hopeless."

Shen Luo smiled wryly and said: "I've broken my heart and told my whole heart. Senior brother doesn't want to accept it, so I can only do this... but I want senior brother to look at me more."

Ling Guyue said: "Have you ever asked me if I really want your sincerity?"

Shen Luo was stunned for a moment, his face turned pale, "Could it be that senior brother has never been in love with me?"

Ling Guyue said quietly: "Aren't you too?"

Shen Luo said anxiously: "From my childhood to now, every day, every hour, every moment, I have never stopped thinking about my brother, I..."

Ling Guyue interrupted him: "Then do you know what love is?"

"Naturally, I want to be with him all the time, never to be separated."

Ling Guyue shook her head, "More than that." Seeing his blank expression, she continued, "One day you know how to be honest with each other, maybe there will be a beginning."

"Senior brother!" Seeing his firm tone, Shen Luo became flustered, and asked with red eyes, "Senior brother really doesn't want to see me anymore?"

Ling Guyue opened the door without turning her head and said, "Just leave it at that."

Seeing that he had made up his mind to go, Shen Luo said in a hoarse voice: "I don't want anything in my life, only senior brother, I think I'm no worse than anyone else in terms of scheming and martial arts! Unexpectedly, I still can't keep you in the end ..."

Hearing the words, Ling Guyue clenched her hands tightly, unable to bear to look back.

After leaving the inn, the street in front of her was still bustling and lively, but in Ling Guyue's view, it felt like a world away.

"Brother, if we sneak out to play, daddy won't beat us, will he?"

Two teenagers, one big and one small, walked side by side on the street. They were all wearing very simple civilian clothes. It seemed that they were just children from ordinary families.

The little one held a bunch of candied haws in his hand, licked a mouthful, then reached out and handed it to his elder brother.

The elder brother didn't dislike it either. He bit off the honey-coated hawthorn on the top, touched his younger brother's head, and said with a straight chest, "Don't be afraid, Dad won't know. At worst, just say that I brought you out. Dad wants you to come out." Just hit me!"

The younger brother said loudly: "No! I don't want my brother to be punished!"

My brother chuckled, "It doesn't matter! Let's go to the river quickly!"

The pair of teenagers passed by Ling Guyue quickly, and gradually disappeared in the crowd.

Looking at their backs, Ling Guyue couldn't help but lose her mind.Once upon a time, it was the same with him and Shen Luo, but now, it has reached this point.

Master once said: "Being in the rivers and lakes for a long time, you have to be people in the rivers and lakes. When you grow up, you will understand."

If the rivers and lakes mean calculations, then it's better to build a flat boat and be a river fisherman who has nothing to do with the world.

Ling Guyue sighed, looked up and saw the misty Luofu Mountain, and suddenly thought that Xiao Qiu and Lu Yuan were still on the road, so she put aside her distracting thoughts and rushed out of the city to the mountain.

The red maple is like fire, and the mountains and forests are drunk.The more you go up, the colder it becomes, and you don't realize that you can see sparse white snow under your feet.

Ling Guyue vaguely felt that someone was following behind her, she caught a glimpse of a black corner of her clothes out of the corner of her eye, she understood it, frowned, and ignored it.

It's just that along the way, there are high mountains and deep valleys, and the road is unexpectedly difficult, so I didn't meet Xiao Qiu and Lu Yuan.Ling Guyue was puzzled that the two of them were walking so fast, so she couldn't help speeding up her pace.

When the sun sets on the west mountain, the towers and halls of Jiaochen Pavilion on the top of the peak can be seen in the distance. Together with the jade waterfall sloping down from the side, they are hidden in the colorful rays of the sun, which is magnificent and somewhat mysterious.

Ling Guyue stepped on a pine branch, the branches were still covered with snow, and her nostrils were filled with the cold fragrance of snow.After resting for a while, he tapped his toes lightly, and stepped on the maple leaves between the cliffs to swipe towards the peak.

Jiaochen Pavilion is closed all year round, and the two heavy stone doors seem to not welcome visitors.The two girls in colorful clothes at the door seemed not to be aware of the severe cold. They were all wearing thin clothes, with white silk around their waists, and their appearance was very delicate.

When Ling Guyue came to the door, there were beads of sweat on her forehead, and her close-fitting clothes were soaked, and when the mountain wind blew, she felt a little chilly.

"Who are you?" The two girls looked at him, and quietly pinched the corner of the white silk with their hands behind their backs.

Ling Guyue clasped her hands and said: "Ling Guyue in Xiapingchuan, please see Senior Cheng if you have anything to do."

"Ling Guyue?" The two girls looked at each other and asked with a smile, "But Ling Guyue, a disciple of Pingchuan Guhuasong?"

"Exactly."

"Is there a token?"

Ling Guyue touched her waist, but found nothing. Then she recalled that he gave the jade pendant to Xiao Qiu, so she shook her head helplessly, "Unfortunately, it's not on me."

The girl didn't make things difficult for him, the two whispered a few words, and one of them said: "Young Xia Ling, wait a moment, I'll go in and make an announcement."

Ling Guyue nodded, "Thank you."

One girl entered the stone gate, and the other chatted with him at the door.

"Ling Shaoxia, how is Ping Chuan doing?"

Thinking of the grievances and entanglements between the three elders, the master and Shen Luo, Ling Guyue felt a little headache, but these things are not humane, so she replied: "It's okay."

The girl pursed her lips and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, the Jiaochen Pavilion didn't need anyone to guard the gate, but recently there are always some big and three rough smelly men who come to pick things up, and the young pavilion master has nothing to do, so we arranged Take turns guarding the goal."

Ling Guyue thought in her heart: The men she mentioned must be Lin Jue's subordinates, but does Jiaochen Pavilion know their purpose?He asked, "What are those people doing here?"

The girl snorted softly, "I only said that there was something important, but I couldn't explain clearly. They have been wandering around the mountain for several days with thieves, and the young pavilion master couldn't stand it, so he ordered them to be driven down the mountain." go."

Ling Guyue nodded, and asked again: "By the way, I have two companions who came here first. I wonder if the girl has seen them?"

The girl blinked, "No one has come here today except the young man."

Ling Guyue was taken aback, "No one came?"

The girl said: "There is indeed no one." Seeing his expression changed, she asked again: "Who is here?"

Ling Guyue said: "A boy and a girl are my friends."

"Which way did they go up the mountain?"

"The alley outside the city."

"Not good," the girl said worriedly, "That path goes up the mountain, and there are no forks. Since the young man didn't meet them, they must have strayed into the forest for some reason."

"Is there any danger in the forest?"

The girl said: "There are many ferocious birds and beasts on Luofu Mountain, these are not terrible, but I'm afraid that if you fall into the swamp in the mountain, it will be bad if you can't get out."

While speaking, another girl had turned back, followed by another person.

But I saw the man's white clothes swaying, his lotus steps in a posture, and his face was dusty.

But Ling Guyue in front of the door is fierce in red, cold and lonely.

When the two meet each other, one looks like a red peony root on a cliff, the other looks like a plum blossom in the empty valley, dancing in the wind and snow, each with its own style.

"Young Pavilion Master." The girl at the door rushed over and saluted.

Ling Guyue raised her head subconsciously, and the two of them exchanged eyebrows and eyes, and there was a sense of shock in both eyes.

"It's you?"

"Brother A Ling?"
