stepping on the moon and asking green hills

Contradictions come inexplicably, and disappear neatly.Tang Yun rewrapped Bai Qiuling's hand, took him to the side of the stone bench and sat down, which was regarded as "reconciliation".

The candlelight was flickering, the light in the room was really bad, Tang Yun couldn't see Bai Qiuling clearly, so he raised his hand to remove the veil from his face, and said softly, "It's dirty."

The gauze was spread out in Tang Yun's hands, Bai Qiuling looked down and saw a few drops of blood had smeared on it, dyeing the thin gauze quite thickly.Ever since he was "hinted" by Tang Yun, he seemed to be used to this kind of intimacy, and rightly regarded it as a mutual caress between friends, and he never hid it.

"Why did Qingyu do that just now?" Tang Yun stood up and walked along the dancing flames, picking up the wicks with an iron needle, and the flames that were clearly extinguished immediately illuminated the whole room even brighter.

Bai Qiuling watched him pick up the wicks one by one, and then sat down beside him again, before he thought about responding to his question, "I heard that Feng Qingyu is a pair, maybe the two swords are related, so it will be Such a big reaction."

"Like an old friend reunited after a long absence?"

"Maybe, if one day I'm separated from the Pavilion Master for a long time, I'll be so excited when we meet again." Bai Qiuling nodded and smiled as he spoke.

Tang Yun was taken aback for a moment, and the hand that was going around his back to straighten his messy hair stopped in mid-air. After opening and closing his upper and lower lips, he smiled and said, "I'm sure I won't part with Qiuqiu for such a long time."

Bai Qiuling continued to smile, noncommittal, raised his hand to caress the Tingfeng sword, and said: "Qingyu has been with me for so long, but I haven't been able to find out what is special about it. The secret, now that it's in front of Tingfeng, I'm afraid again."

"afraid?"

"...Pavilion Master, I have a question to ask, please answer one or two." Bai Qiuling did not answer Tang Yun directly, looking at Tingfeng's beautiful scabbard, his thoughts seemed to be pulled back to Yun Yin Mountain, back to the days when I was a child on the east side of Yunyin Mountain.

He was still young at that time, but he was taught by Si Yan to be calm and steady, he read books and practiced sword consciously every day, even if Si Yan was not around, he took good care of himself.

If Si Yan doesn't accept female apprentices, the senior sister in the west is not a senior sister. He often tells himself this way, and as time goes by, he doesn't quite remember everything about that senior sister.

Tang Yun was waiting for him to "ask" for a while, and waited for a long time.

His eyes fell on the dancing flames of the two people on the opposite wall, and finally he came back to his senses, and his eyes were locked on Tingfeng Sword when he asked the question.He asked Tang Yun: "Pavilion Master, Tingfeng Sword Master—I mean Senior Sister, what kind of woman is she?"

Tang Yun really didn't expect that he would ask himself such a question, before he was ready to answer, all the memories about Tang Wan in his mind flooded up and occupied all his will.

In my memory, I grew up with Tang Wan, and both my parents passed away when I was very young. After Tang Wan entrusted him to his parents' former friends, he went to Yunyin Mountain alone.

At that time, Tang Yun had already shown a very high talent in martial arts. His parents and friends gave him all their money and taught him carefully for three years. In the end, he died of a serious illness. Tang Wan showed up in time to take him back to prevent him from living in the world.

In the following four years, he witnessed that Tang Wan built a tower with his own hands, and no one dared to bully Tingfeng Sword in his hand. The siblings gradually gained a foothold in the precarious martial arts. Tang Wan pampered him almost to the point of lawlessness. Fengtai Mountain, at the age of 15, made a big fuss at the martial arts conference and became famous far and wide.

However, at this moment, Tang Wan suddenly went mad and died under the sword of Tingfeng.

Tang Yun's feelings for this sword can be described as extremely complicated.

His dear and beloved sister was pierced through the heart by the sword he had always cherished. He wished he could chop up the sword and eat it bit by bit, but Cheng Qinghuai reminded him that if Tingfeng Sword was really the "culprit", then It must be that Logan made the move by himself, and how could Logan abandon herself and end it on her own?

Then there is only one possibility. Even if Logan is insane, she must still be sane, and she will survive by using thousands of methods. How could she die in her hands without any trace of struggle——she was murdered by others .

Tang Yun came to a conclusion, and immediately searched for more than a month, but still found nothing, and the clues were completely broken.It wasn't until later that Cheng Qinghuai told him about Qing Yu who matched Tingfeng that he had a new idea about Tang Wan's death and about this Tingfeng sword.

"The elder sister of an ordinary family is like an older sister. She loves her younger brother and treats herself badly. She leaves everything good to me, but she is what I want most. She is always with me, and she refuses to give it to me." Sadness surged up, and he held it on the tip of his tongue and bit it down again, and said with a wry smile: "What do you want to say?"

"Pavilion Master, this man is gone, please take care." Bai Qiuling patted the back of Tang Yun's hand with his other hand, and while shaking his head and sighing, he caught a glimpse of an emerald green object in the corner by the flickering firelight.

In Tang Yun's place where he kept all the interesting gadgets he collected, it was not a surprise that such a small object appeared. Seeing the emerald green and translucent luster, he was puzzled and asked, "Pavilion Master, is this also one of your collections?"

Tang Yun walked up to him, took a lamp on the wall and put it in front of him, illuminating the half of the jade pendant crystal clear, and replied: "There is only listening to the wind here, there is nothing else, this seems to me—— Where have you seen..."

"Senior sister should have one of this jade pendant. It is the Yunyin pendant. Master gave me one at that time, so I should have given one to my senior sister." Bai Qiuling took out the Yunyin pendant he carried with him and spread it out in the palm of his hand, "We There are not many people in the master's school, in fact, I haven't met the other apprentices of the master, only heard of a senior sister."

When Tang Yun saw the intact Yun Yinpei in Bai Qiuling's hand, he faintly felt that he had overlooked an extremely important detail.

He looked up at Tingfeng, and finally remembered where he had seen this jade pendant before, "This is not my sister's jade pendant."

He took half of the jade pendant from Bai Qiuling's hand, carefully identified it for a moment in front of the dancing flames, and then said: "I have kept the jade pendant well, it is impossible for it to appear here."

"But this Yunyin pendant is a token of the disciples of Yunyin Mountain—is Lingjie's jade pendant engraved with the word 'wan'?" Bai Qiuling pointed to a white character on his jade pendant, and said to Tang Yun: "Yun Yinpei Each one is unique, when Master gave it to me, there was a 'white' on the jade pendant."

Tang Yun was holding the half of the jade pendant in his hand, Bai Qiuling took the lamp in his hand, he turned the jade pendant over, unfortunately the half of the jade pendant was flawless and clean, the broken part could only be seen as a " "Yuan", Bai Qiuling can only identify it as a cloud hidden pendant through the lines, nothing else can be seen.

"Can Qiuqiu be sure that this is indeed Yun Yinpei?" Tang Yun asked.

Bai Qiuling hung the lamp on the wall again, nodded and said: "Indeed, I have carried this Yunyin with me for more than ten years, so I know what it is like most naturally."

"Yuan... There are countless people with the character 'Yuan' in their names in this world, and it's still not confirmed that this is the character Yuan, maybe there is some radical over there..." Tang Yun thought something Staring pensively at the jade pendant in his hand, and then compared it with the one in Bai Qiuling's hand, he couldn't find an outlet for his thoughts, "It's no accident that it appeared here, it's just—who!"

It was too late to say it, but before he could finish his sentence, Bai Qiuling's Luoyun sleeve flew out first, and hit the suddenly closed stone door, causing gravel and dust to fly everywhere.

Cheng Qinghuai narrowly escaped the Luoyunxiu's attack, leaned behind the stone gate and let out a long sigh of relief, and quickly explained: "Pavilion Master! It's me!"

The two of them had already rushed to the back of the stone gate vigilantly. Hearing the familiar voice, Tang Yun raised his hand to signal, and Bai Qiuling put down the sword in his hand.

He pressed the switch, and Cheng Qinghuai turned in from the door.

It should be that he was choking after eating two mouthfuls of ashes just now. When Cheng Qinghuai appeared in front of the two of them, his face was flushed, and he coughed several times while covering his neck. Bai Qiuling almost hurt someone, and felt guilty in his heart. , I didn't know it was—”

"Cough, cough cough! You don't need to apologize for Bai Shaoxia's unintentional actions. I have something important to discuss with the pavilion master."

Cheng Qinghuai glanced left and right while speaking, Bai Qiuling clasped his fists knowingly and nodded, and was about to leave, but Tang Yun said, "You said, Qiuqiu is not an outsider—a friend." He deliberately dragged the last two words long and heavy .

Cheng Qinghuai frowned, and Tang Yun winked at her.Bai Qiuling was all focused on whether he should avoid suspicion, so naturally he couldn't see that the two people in front of him were "discussing" something, so he still felt that something was wrong, so he went out through the stone gate first.

Behind him, Tang Yun carefully told him to be careful of the traps outside, he agreed with a hum, and walked out in the direction he came from.

He really likes the scenery of Peach Blossom Stream.

It looked very flat here, unlike Yunyin Mountain, he had lived in a place with steep sides for more than ten years, he was used to seeing cliffs, and a place like Taohuajian felt fresh when he saw it.

Tang Yun and Cheng Qinghuai said a few words before they came out, at a distance of more than twenty steps behind Bai Qiuling, talking in low voices one after the other.Martial arts practitioners have very good hearing, Bai Qiuling didn't want to listen and was "forced" to listen to a few words, it was about Tang Yun asking Cheng Qinghuai to investigate the cause of Tang Wan's death back then, he had something on his mind, so he listened to it, and all the time in front of his eyes was the Half of the jade pendant.

The jade pendant must have been made by Si Yan, but Si Yan never mentioned that there were other apprentices—maybe Si Yan deliberately concealed it?But what is there to conceal, if it is because I said that I would not accept female disciples but accepted Tang Wan, it is understandable to conceal it. Could it be that the owner of this jade pendant is also a woman?

He deliberately didn't listen to the conversation between Tang Yun and Cheng Qinghuai behind him, and he couldn't concentrate. As soon as he put the jade pendant away and raised his eyes, he saw a dark figure flashing past not far away.

He thought to himself that Tang Yun said that this place was forbidden by the pavilion, and others could not enter and exit, so he looked back to remind Tang Yun.The two of them didn't pay attention to the distance at all when they were talking, but the moment he turned his head, Tang Yun happened to raise his head to meet his gaze.

He was startled, then pointed behind him.

Tang Yun understood, and immediately tapped his toes to the ground, Qinggong flew forward, Bai Qiuling and Cheng Qinghuai followed one after the other.

"Elder Shan?" Tang Yun "pulled" the man out of the bushes, and asked dumbfoundingly, "Why are you sneaking around?"

"It turned out to be an acquaintance. I'm sorry. I thought it was a stranger who broke in." This was the second time Bai Qiuling "wronged" a good person today. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and quickly apologized and explained.

Tang Yun waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Elder Shan has a good temper, even if you look smart and well-behaved, he won't be good to you, don't worry."

"...Elder Shan Haihan." Bai Qiuling greeted Shan Xiuming. Shan Xiuming patted the hem of his clothes and raised his head. He looked at him with kindness and kindness.

"Young man, it's always good to be more vigilant." Shan Xiuming bowed to Tang Yun, and said again: "Pavilion Master, I'm here today because Elder Tong said that he was going to have a wedding on the way, and it will delay some time. leave."

"Just let them send a letter for such a trivial matter." Tang Yun said.

Shan Xiuming nodded in response, and also said hello to Cheng Qinghuai who was behind him. When his eyes fell on Bai Qiuling, he asked with a smile: "This young man is very handsome, may I ask your name?"

"Elder's words are serious, Bai Qiuling, you really offended me just now." Bai Qiuling bowed in a very formal manner, Shan Xiuming hurriedly reached out to stop him, Tang Yun saw that the two of them were asking each other endlessly, so he patted Bai Qiuling on the shoulder interrupted him:

"Okay Qiuqiu, I said that Elder Shan doesn't care about these things. This is one of the four elders in my pavilion, Elder Shan Xiuming, and the one who stopped you in Yongluo that day was Elder Tong."

After being reminded by Tang Yun, Bai Qiuling immediately had an impression of that old man. He was very skilled in martial arts. get away.

Shan Xiuming explained the purpose of his visit, and turned around to leave without anything else. When he saw the jade pendant in Tang Yun's hand, he frowned and thought for a moment, then turned back and asked, "Where did you get this jade pendant, Pavilion Master?"

"The elder has seen it?" Tang Yun handed half of the jade pendant to Shan Xiuming. After he had a closer look, he asked, "If the elder has seen this jade pendant, please let me know. It may be related to my sister's death."

The four elders are all left by Tang Wan to Tang Yun. Tang Yun has always trusted them. Apart from Cheng Qinghuai, many things are entrusted to them, especially Shan Xiuming, who has followed Tang Wan to support her since she built the pavilion. , and their parents are still old acquaintances, which can be regarded as trust.

Shan Xiuming took the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, then said: "I have seen this jade pendant once, but—" He looked up at the three people in front of him, he hesitated to speak, and returned the jade pendant to Tang Yun, sighing: "Pavilion Master, what happened back then... I dare not say more, if it is really related to the owner of this jade pendant, the Pavilion Master is still..."

Tang Yun saw that Shan Xiuming clearly knew something, and asked loudly: "The elder can speak directly if he has something to say, I have my own measure!"

Cheng Qinghuai sighed imperceptibly, Bai Qiuling turned his head to look at her, and she shook her head at him.
