Cold Mountain Bells to Passenger Ships

The moonlight was shrouded in dark clouds, and the pieces of broken jade on the ground reflected bright spots one by one.

She looked at the peaceful faces of Lord Wanbao and her mother only to realize that her father had gray temples, crow's feet appeared on her mother's beautiful makeup, and she had unknowingly missed her own growth and the aging of her relatives. Transposition spells, broken marks on Hong Anping's right ring finger and little finger, Ye Liang's commanding voice...

When she woke up after passing out in the inn, she was leaning on her father's back. Master Wanbao's worried expression was reflected in the water of Vientiane Pool on the uphill road, and he carried her up the stone steps. Her mother kept asking the doctor about her condition in worry, Wanye's hug and waiting, the huge Wanjiabao and the black flag, these things seem to have happened for a long time.

seven days ago -

It was almost midnight, the Emerald Valley had been cleaned up after the killing, the bloody water was poured out bucket by bucket, the broken corpses were packed into a bag, and the rest of the body was repaired or cremated, waiting for the respective disciples to claim and dispose of it.

Lu Weiran directed the logistics cleaning work, Yao Ze followed to help clean up with the Water Purification Curse, and Shang Yuan took Chen Yijie to help distribute the food, distributing porridge and noodle cakes under the simple tent, everyone's face was thick Tired and numb.

Lang Yingjie just sat in the corner holding the broken Xiaoxiang sword hilt from beginning to end without saying a word, and he ignored Hung Wu when he asked him to eat. Sudden self-harm due to excessive sadness.

Qiandeng and two Wanjiabao senior sisters came to transport the body to the carriage. Seeing that about [-] disciples from each school gathered in the school grounds to wait for the roll call to retrieve the body, the crowd was dense but silently suffocating. Zhong Li shouted: "Who moved first?!"

The tone is very bad, everyone here has been working hard all day, shuttling among corpses, bloody, stumped limbs, and unrecognizable corpses, mentally bored and bored, Zhong Li's tone is very bad, Hung Wu is afraid that he will disturb the master , whispered to Lang Yingjie: "Don't run around." Knowing that the other party couldn't hear him at all, he still wanted to comfort himself, got up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhong Li's eyes were bloodshot, his Adam's apple rolled, half of his face was covered with dried blood, and he said, "Jin Ji's body is gone!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's faces became even more ugly. Hung Wu pressed the thumb of his right hand on the handle of Setting Sun's sword, and asked everyone, "Is someone leading the wrong one?"

"How is it possible, they look different."

"Could it be that Ji Zongchen's people mixed in?"

"Finally someone is dissatisfied with Dongsha Xiao to the point of dismembering his body to vent his anger?"

"Hey, it's endless, I'm bored to death, I'm exhausted."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whoever takes it. If you want to keep arguing, please feel free. I will take the body of my uncle and uncle first."

Zhong Li said angrily, "Shut up! If you can't find out who stole Jin Ji's body, then no one will claim the body!"

"Why! Who are you!"

"Danyang Altar is about to be destroyed! Send a junior here to shout."

"Do you want to let people rest! I have to walk for ten days and a half months to go back to the gate!"

"Stop arguing, let me take the bodies of my juniors back first! Make way!"

"Let someone take the body first! Don't stand in the way!"

"It takes almost half a year for me to go back and forth to the master's gate. If I don't make it to Qingming to Dragon Boat Festival, will my junior brother's body rot on the road?"

The crowd roared at each other in dissatisfaction, Zhong Li pushed away the people who were going forward to claim the body and shouted: "If you don't back down, I'll beat you!"

Everyone huddled outside the corpse tent, from complaining to irritated shouting, couldn't be appeased by the afternoon, the scene gradually got out of control, more and more people pushed them away and wanted to collect the remains of their own family members, now who cares whether the Dongsha Demons entered or not Steal Jinji's body?

Parents are dead and mother is married, everyone cares about each other, Zhong Li raises his fists and beats each other, a group of hand-to-hand combat, punching and kicking, Hung Wu is also forced to fight.

The senior sister from Wanjiapu is tying up the carport, pulling Qiandeng and saying: "Let them go! We are too busy to take care of ourselves."

Qiandeng heard a slight bang, and the sound of the spirit lock falling off was drowned out by everyone shouting and shouting. She jumped out of the carriage and saw Lang Yingjie's dark face appeared behind him. hidden in the dark.

Ji Zongchen!

He is so brave!How dare you return to the scene?

Qiandeng calmly pulled out the Xun Ye Dao and aimed it at Lang Yingjie, a sword wind drew white light through Ji Zongchen's right shoulder, and the Tianwen sword flew back to Chu Zijing's hand in a snap, the hidden confrontation with the other side The noisy people on one side formed a sharp contrast.

Chu Zijing said, "Is it because you want to make such a big commotion?"

Ji Zongchen didn't care about the blood spurting from his own wound, and pulled his stunned and almost stupid younger brother into his arms. He carried Jin Ji's corpse on his shoulder, and said with a voice like a horn: "Chu Zijing, Yingjie is my younger brother. He has the nobility of General Dongsha." Because of his blood, he shouldn't be in Tianxiao Sect."

A sneer of unknown meaning appeared at the corner of Chu Zijing's mouth, and his left sword finger was caressing the body of Tianwen sword. Lang Yingjie seemed to have lost his perception and self-awareness, his eyes were dull and he let Ji Zongchen hold him, Ji Zongchen stared at Chu Zijing and slowly retreated Hiding into the darkness, Yue Baichuan behind Chu Zijing looked at Ji Zongchen's eyes with mixed feelings of happiness.

Chu Zijing let Ji Zongchen take Lang Yingjie away, turned to look at Yue Baichuan and suddenly asked, "How long have you been standing?"

Just as Yue Baichuan was about to answer, his face paled immediately, and he looked at the other party in horror. Chu Zijing approached him with a serious smile, and asked in a tone similar to pretending to be puzzled: "Long time no see, Boss Zhu."

The Tianwen sword pierced through the chest of "Yue Baichuan", Chu Zijing turned the sword with his right hand, raised his wrist two inches and then pulled it out, the half-cut heart was brought out by the sword edge, and blood spurted out!

Qiandeng looked blankly, Lu Weiran didn't understand the situation for a moment and was stunned, Yao Ze was on guard against Chu Zijing, Chen Yijie first opened his mouth in surprise and asked, "What did Pavilion Master Chu do to kill Master Yue?"

Shang Yuan's eyes became darker, and he said, "This Yue Baichuan...seems to be a fake."

Everyone was frightened by this turn of events, with Chu Zijing as the center, the exclamation dispersed, "Yue Baichuan" raised his hand to remove his pretense and revealed a slightly naughty smile, it was Zhu Ming!

Sanniang's heart skipped a beat, she hid among the crowd and gritted her teeth, not knowing whether she should make a move, she knew that Zhu Ming would die in Chu Zijing's hands!But I can't save him, so I have to play Yue Baichuan again!Just asking for trouble!

Zhu Ming covered the big hole in his chest, and said, "Oh! Pavilion Master Chu really doesn't miss the old relationship. After all, our business cooperation is very happy, isn't it? If you say kill it, it's so heartless!"

Chu Zijing shook off the blood stains on Tian Wenjian, splashing blood on the ground.

He said: "Yue Baichuan's legs were disabled after the war. He couldn't stand for a long time. Like outsiders, you thought that he only had a broken foot. However, few people know that his legs are disabled. I don't blame you, Yue Baichuan." You have already killed me, right?"

Zhu Ming smiled indifferently and said, "That's right! I have deceived a fool, it seems that it is too difficult to deceive Pavilion Master Chu haha... woo...!"

Tian Wenjian sliced ​​off his right calf, and Zhu Ming fell to the ground empty-handed. The red blood from the broken bones stained the cleaned marble floor red again. Zhu Ming stood up and reluctantly said: "Yue Baichuan should thank me for helping him manage Danyang altar, at least I can control it well, right! Hey hey hey! It hurts! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa then aaa therefore!"

Chu Zijing seemed to be lingering at him, controlling Tian Wenjian to cut off his shoulders, thighs, and knees. Zhu Ming screamed in pain, and Sanniang's knuckles turning white as she clenched the handle of Gujiu sword turned white. Zhong met Zhu Ming's eyes, and the latter shook his head gently to signal her not to intervene.

No one here dared to say a word, and they had no ability to intervene in Chu Zijing's actions. Zhu Ming just covered up his ex-master Ji Zongchen to sneak in, and Chu Zijing caught the slight eye contact. Zhu Ming was afraid that he would implicate Sanniang, and hoped that she would hurry up Get out and don't get caught.

Sanniang looked at him warily, Chu Zijing pointed the tip of his sword at his throat and said, "You and Ji Zongchen are on the same road, so what about Zhong Lidao? What are you doing secretly for him?"

Zhu Ming spat out a mouthful of blood foam and shrugged, "Who knows!"

Chu Zijing stared at him and asked, "Do you want to die?"

Zhu Ming insisted, "It's up to you!"

Tian Wenjian flashed almost as soon as the voice fell, Zhu Ming's head flew into the air, drawing a shocking arc, blood dripped on the faces of the crowd in front, Chu Zijing waved his Taoist robe, and the flames shot up to the sky behind Zhu Ming The headless body was burned clean!

sand!

Tian Wenjian turned around and automatically ran across Chu Zijing's back, colliding with a strong shot of alcohol!

Panting for breath, San Niang seized the Gu Jiu sword and shouted: "The love of wine is the crown of dew!"

Strong wine poured from all directions like flying dragons soaring into the sky, surrounding Chu Zijing, Chen Yijie stepped forward and drew his sword in front of Shang Yuan to resist, Shang Yuan frowned and took out a handkerchief to wipe the wine drops from his cheeks, Lu Weiran pulled Yao Ze behind him , the Seven Star Sword slashed and attacked, and Zhong Li looked up through the crowd knocked away by the wine in some astonishment.

Chu Zijing snorted coldly and said with contempt: "Finally, the truth is revealed, and the lowly people dare to fight with me? Today, I will act for the heavens!"

Sanniang smiled and said, "You can also say such an old word, what age is it!"

Chu Zijing's eyes were full of alcohol, and he said, "Did you follow Zhong Lidao to learn this spat of tongues?"

Sanniang's purple skirt rolled over, and Chu Zijing's sword qi was blocked by Gujiu's sword: "A hypocrite like you is worthy of mentioning my monarch? It is more than enough to deal with you!"

His snow-white temples fluttered upwards, the sword energy all over his body poured out the wine, and the sword finger of his left hand swung from bottom to top, the seal character mantra emerged, his left foot started to step, his right foot lifted his knee, and the Heavenly Questioning Sword was raised horizontally, white light surrounded the gravel on the ground Floating upwards, the alcohol shot kept hitting his surroundings but couldn't get into him.

Lu Weiran was startled and said: "I'm going to Hengduan Taihang, with great virtue! Go back!"

Yao Ze pulled out Shanhua and pointed at Chu Zijing's back without knowing the heights and depths: "I'm afraid of a bird! I..."

Lu Weiran held the Seven-Star Sword in his right hand, held Yao Ze under his armpit and quickly fled to the crevice of the mountain wall, far away from Chu Zijing!

Hung Wu saw that the footwork was a virtuous one, and Tian Wenjian's starting move was Heng Duan Tai Xing, he was so frightened that he almost lost his mind, and the setting sun sword guarded him in front of the real demented junior, blocking him with his body, fearing that the master would be alone The fury spread across the crowd.

Sanniang tapped a shot of wine on the tip of her toes, leaped to attack Chu Zijing with agility, Chu Zijing did not turn his head, squeezed his sword and raised his hand, the frenzied sword energy scattered the wine in all directions, and the white light was dazzling , The sword wind exploded, and the sound of Tianwen Jian's sword sound rumbled like a deep valley and the ground cracked, it was deafening!

Everyone was shaken to the ground, and even more people were kneeling on the ground with tears flowing down their spines.

Sanniang held a wine sword in the air and pointed it at Chu Zijing who was on the ground. The eyes of the two met. The apricot yellow Taoist robe was hunting like a military flag, and the purple skirt and black hair were mixed with the smell of wine.

Hung Wu raised his hand to block the strong light, and thought to himself: "Why did Master deal with a woman so hard?"

As if the light of day was dimmed and the moonlight returned to dim, Tian Wenjian passed through the hilt of Gujiu Sword and hit the back of Sanniang's head hard, and Sanniang fell to the ground with a sudden blackness in front of her eyes.

Everyone was so affected that they fell to the ground, and Lu Weiran couldn't keep up with the progress and asked, "Baichuan was really killed by him?"

Chu Zijing nodded, called Tian Wenjian back into the box, and nodded towards Hong Wu, Lu Weiran didn't understand, so he said: "He knows?"

Hung Wu asked with question marks all over his face, "What?"

Chu Zijing's head hurts a bit, he and this apprentice have never agreed, he sighed and said: "You go and take down Princess Yingmei, head Lu, head Yue died a long time ago, this Zhu Ming is pretending to be Dan Yang The head of the altar has been in charge for a long time, and it seems that the demons infiltrating the alliance of the Four Elephants Transformation are really very serious."

Lu Weiran put away the Qixing Sword Dao: "It's actually like this...then Ji Zongchen was instructed by Zhong Lidao?"

Chu Zijing said: "It seems so."

Lu Weiran murmured: "I still think Zhongli is very special, he is the mastermind behind the bloodbath of the Emerald Valley, this is troublesome."

Chu Zijing said to Qiandeng, "Are you going back to Wanjiapu?"

Qiandeng said: "Yes."

Chu Zijing said: "I always feel that you are talented and intelligent. This matter will push the two factions of immortals and demons to an unmanageable situation. What do you think?"

This sentence hides a very ardent expectation. Qiandeng looked at the carriage carrying the corpses of his parents, and answered Chu Zijing with an irrelevant question: "In the tomb of Fuling, I accidentally found the five-headed Hades called by Miao Yuejun's mother." Some inside information, that stuff is fake."

Yao Ze widened his eyes in shock and said, "What did you say?!"

Qiandeng said: "Miaozi's mother is not a very high-level Taoist, how could she conjure that kind of thing? Moreover, the five-headed hell king has been an unpredictable form since ancient times. He may be any kind of phenomenon. He is A very vague concept."

Yao Ze questioned in a low voice: "Do you know what you are talking about? If you overturn this fact, you will clearly say that the Ye family was murdered! The five-headed King of Hades cursed and killed Ye Zhentian's family out of hatred. It's something everyone knows!"

Qiandeng pursed her lips, her eyes drifted towards Shang Yuan pointingly, Chu Zijing knew that she was not referring to Shang Yuan as the murderer, but was referring to someone inside the Shuiyun Sect!

Chu Zijing encouraged: "Speak."

Qiandeng said: "Ye Liang regards Andingjian as his master on the surface, but in fact, Andingjian recognizes Hong Anping as his master, and the Ye family hides this matter, and they simply let Hong Anping be the sword holder directly. Outsiders don't know, only Hong Anping, the guard and follower, should hold the Anding sword. That's because she always holds the Anding sword scabbard when she appears. An Ping took it, but he would not have thought that the Anding Sword is not an ordinary fairy sword, he has already recognized its owner..."

It was the first time Qiandeng saw Hong Anping. He clasped the end of his An Ding sword with both hands, and the hilt protruded a lot from his shoulder. Wan Ye once told her during a chat after a meal that decent families like to hang their swords on their left shoulders. The waist, because the sword represents their identity and will not wrinkle the school uniform, such as Lang Yingjie; the chief guard or private guard likes to put the sword directly behind the waist, which means that they are the leader, such as Sanniang; generally Traveling swordsmen like to carry their swords behind their backs, so that when they are tired on the road, they will not hunch their backs and their posture will automatically correct, such as Murong Fugui; killers always hold their swords in their hands.

And only those who replace the sword will use this strange posture to hold the sword.

Hong Anping minimized the area where he touched the sword, and still held the sword firmly. This is a very rare way of holding the sword. Qiandeng has only seen him like this when he has traveled through mountains and rivers. Wan Ye said that this is what most people think is so inappropriate Let the sword recognize the wrong master. At that time, he said that it was very groundless. If the master rarely touches the sword, how can he become the master and slave without feelings?

Now that Wan Ye's deduction was proved to be correct as usual, Chu Zijing seemed to see the radiant genius Taoist back then, and couldn't help feeling sorry for himself.

Yao Ze anxiously said, "Why are you saying such useless things?"

Qiandeng said: "This weird phenomenon is the same as Miao Yuejun's mother summoning the five-headed Hades, because his mother hated Ye Liang. At that time, Shuiyunzong knew that Ye Liang was provoking women everywhere, and this time he got into trouble, so the Ye family will It's not surprising to be cursed by the five-headed Hades. The Ye family had enemies all over the world. What kind of suicide happened within a few years after the end of the war? There are all kinds of ways to die, but in short they are dead."

Standing on the edge of the broken wall, Shang Yuan said: "Master Wanbao's investigation is really clear, I admire it." There was no admiration in his tone, and Chen Yijie felt that this boss really needed to correct his thinking.

Qiandeng glanced at him, and Yao Ze asked anxiously: "Then what? Miao Yuejun was a fake at that time? Did no one find out about the death of the Ye family? How is that possible!"

Qiandeng said: "If someone finds out, he dare not say anything, unless he also wants to be killed by the five-headed Hades."

Chen Yijie was not happy when she heard it, the allusion was too obvious, and said: "Are you referring to my brother-in-law using a fake image of a five-headed Hades to commit murder and exterminate the family? Do you have evidence? Don't spit blood !"

Qiandeng said: "There is no evidence, but there are witnesses all over the world. How dare I ask who has actually seen the five-headed king of hell? The five-headed king of hell is extremely terrifying, sinister and cruel. If he really exists, who does he want to kill?" , It is possible to destroy the family or slaughter all the people in the world, if he is not a human being born, then the world will be devastated, and no one can solve this catastrophe!"

The legend of the five-headed King of Hades was once very popular before the war. Ye Zhentian never thought that he once released rumors to slander the enemy and eventually became a fake image of Miemen.

Yao Ze's lower lip trembled, pointed at Chu Zijing and said, "Then he also knows it's fake? He even killed Miao Yuejun!"

Lu Weiran held his shoulder and said, "Yao Ze."

Shang Yuan said: "It seems that Sect Master Hong has been suspected."

Qiandeng said: "Sect Master Hong is not a person who is greedy for fame and fortune. It is obvious to all that he rectified the Shuiyun School. The one behind the destruction of the Ye family is the master of Anding Sword!"

"Nonsense! How could my brother-in-law do such an unconscionable thing? You are talking nonsense, don't blame me for doing it!"

Chen Yijie pointed at Qiandeng unbearably and said angrily, Shang Yuan pressed down her finger with the dossier and said: "I was not in the sect when this happened, but the formation and original shape of the five-headed Hades must have been studied by Sect Master Lu more than anyone else." Clear, right?"

Lu Weiran pushed the unilateral lens and said: "Lord Wanbao is indeed right, I am surprised that someone knows so much about such an unpopular bloody thing, few people have studied this thing, and I don't have many records in my hand. "

Chen Yijie asked, "What is my brother-in-law doing to destroy Ye's family?"

Qiandeng rubbed his thumb against the handle of the knife, and said lightly: "I can't tell the inside story, but Sect Master Hong may know it but he doesn't want to reveal it. After all, Hong Anping has been cultivated by him with all his heart. It's a pity that Hong Anping doesn't like this position. If you have doubts, you can go to the sect to find out."

Yao Ze drew out Shanhua and pointed at Chu Zijing, "It turned out to be a fake! Then why didn't you say it earlier?! He killed Mr. Miao Yueyue and still stands here self-righteously! Why is he alive?"

Lu Weiran stopped him and said, "Miao Yuejun's matter is complicated, so don't get involved!"

Yaoze poured out his anger on Qiandeng, Shanhua Yi's three swords cut through the clothes on her chest, Qiandeng stepped back and said with difficulty: "I only found out later!"

Yao Ze crazily attacked and cursed: "Don't you just want to enter the Jiange like Wan Ye? You don't deserve to be Miao Yuejun's friend at all! Damn it!"

Qiandeng covered his wound and said, "Can't you put the overall situation first? Look at what the Dongsha Demons have done here now! Can you be more mature and cooperate?"

Yao Ze kicked her in the stomach and said angrily, "You and Chu Zijing deserve to die! Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to die with your goddamn dog parents!"

Qiandeng didn't want to continue to argue pointlessly, he held the yellow talisman between his fingers and burst out blue fire and red light to resist Shanhua's sword, Shang Yuan sighed: "Oh! There are so many people fighting here, really, I'll take my leave first , it seems that you have to be busy, let's go Yijie, I think your brother-in-law is in trouble."

Shang Yuan called Chen Yijie a few times, and at the same time contacted Hong Zhien with a sound transmission talisman to report the current situation. Chen Yijie saw the two Qiandeng and Yaoze who were fighting, and then left in chaos.

A burst of sword energy swayed Shanhua's attack, and Lu Weiran first heard in the dust: "Thank you, Pavilion Master Chu, for your mercy."

Lu Weiran felt helpless supporting Yao Ze who was knocked unconscious, Qiandeng covered the wound on her right chest and panted, Chu Zijing's right palm covered the wound with aura, temporarily stopping the bleeding.

Qiandeng gritted his teeth and watched Lu Weiran take away the troublemaker Yao Ze and hurried away in a carriage. Chu Zijing said, "The Dongsha demons killed your parents. Now you are the master of Wanjiabao. What are your plans?"

Qiandeng said: "I want to go home and settle down with my parents first."

Chu Zijing said: "Although it is a bit hasty, if you are willing to be the closed disciple of this seat, you can come to this seat at any time."

Qiandeng looked at his indifferent face, raised his eyes to the carriage with the Wanjiapu flag, closed his eyes and exhaled, knelt down and said, "I am willing."

Chu Zijing stood with his hands behind his back expressionlessly, and Hung Wu stood behind his master and looked at his only junior sister. Chu Zijing stretched out his hand and said in front of Qiandeng: "It's been a troubled time recently, and there may be disasters. It's okay to postpone the ceremony of apprenticeship. From now on, Wan Qiandeng, you are the disciple of this seat, the heir of Jiange, get up!"

In the middle of the night, amidst the thick rust, the pitch black is accompanied by the flickering emeralds everywhere, Chu Zijing, the master of Jiange Pavilion sent by Tianxiao, accepts Qiandeng, the master of Wanjiabao, as a closed disciple.

He held Qiandeng's hand, Qiandeng got up and said with a deep expression, "Disciple Qiandeng pays respects to Master and Senior Brother Hong Wu."

Hung Wu saw her disappear after a night of blood washing. When he first saw her, she was lively, laughing and playful, but was replaced by three points of gloom and three points of solemnity, and even more of hatred. Can't help but sigh.

Chu Zijing turned around and called out the Tianwen Sword. Behind him, the swords of the setting sun in the afternoon were intertwined with red light and fluorite. Chu Zijing said condescendingly: "After you have finished handling the housework, I will let you take care of things for the teacher."

Qiandeng cupped his fists and bowed, "I obey."

Chu Zi respected the years in his eyes, overlooking the respectful posture with a hidden dragon, just like an old man.
