stepping on the moon and asking green hills

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his palms and re-sheathed several swords, and the whole secret room returned to calm.

Tang Yun suddenly understood Bai Qiuling's words, he tightened his five fingers, his nails almost sank into his palm, and said in a low voice: "I heard the wind reacted violently that day, because I sensed several other swords, but not all of them—— You mean, Jinghong Sword was also in Peach Blossom Stream that day."

"Well, listen to the wind and Qingyu is cast, listen to the wind and move, and use it to find swords, and Qingyu is as light as a feather, taking the meaning of softness to overcome rigidity, once it can balance, and then restrain it." Bai Qiuling's thoughts were clarified little by little. , he turned around and glanced at Cheng Qinghuai, his eyes fell on Tang Yun again, and he continued: "Do you still remember that when I got Hengjun, the sword box was shattered."

"Remember. That day I thought you were afraid of being cheated, and used your internal force to shake the entire sword box open." Tang Yun opened a folding fan in front of him, and at some point wrapped the water-colored sword tassel around the fan handle. At this time, the sword spike was shaking back and forth, left and right, following the fan.

"Then came the Qingshuang Sword and the Qingming Sword. In fact, these two swords did not calm down and be controlled by me because they drank my blood, but because Qing Yu was in my hands. At that time, I learned that these two swords were blood-dissolved and died. Forged, I thought they were drinking blood and going crazy, and then drinking blood and stopped." Bai Qiuling suddenly remembered the scene of holding Qing Ming in his hand with his bare hands, and there was still a dull pain in his palm.He nodded and looked at the shallow scar on his palm, and said again: "Jade smoke and tears are a life-and-death battle. You hold the jade smoke, and I hold the tears, but I finally restrained that day in the valley. Later, I lost control because of my feelings for you, not the Sword of Tears itself.

"You Long self-destructed at Fengtai, although I don't know what happened, but if I had arrived one step earlier, with Qing Yu around, such a peerless and famous sword would not self-destruct violently."

There was regret in Bai Qiuling's tone, Tang Yun raised his hand and shook his wrist, saying: "Shan Xiuming intends to do this, so there will be no evidence left, even if You Long doesn't destroy himself, I'm afraid he will think about it." A way to destroy You Long——I never knew that these swords could really be connected with human blood."

"I didn't know it before. These are what my master said to me, and I saw it with my own eyes. Otherwise, I wouldn't believe that there are such decisive swords as Youlong and Zhulei."

"Fang Moxun said that when Shan Xiuming was still called Shan Sanyuan, he was friends with Su Yuansi. Jinghong Youlong is a pair, and Shan Xiuming has Jinghong Sword in his hand." Tang Yun closed his fan and looked aside. Cheng Qinghuai, who remained silent, walked up to her slowly and asked her in a deep voice: "Shan Xiuming killed Su Yuansi to blame me and cover up the unknown secret——Sister Qing, you still refuse to do anything with me until now." explain?"

Cheng Qinghuai's hand holding the sword gradually tightened, her heart was beating wildly, and Tang Wan's tearful eyes and tearful instructions kept appearing in front of her eyes, she hesitated for a moment, and after opening and closing her lips several times, she still didn't know how to speak.

Seeing this, Bai Qiuling walked up behind Tang Yun, grabbed his wrist, pulled him behind him, and said calmly, "Sister Qing must have her own reasons, so don't force her, except you, she is the closest to Senior Tang Wan." people, maybe—”

The phrase "the closest person" seemed to waken Cheng Qinghuai, she suddenly raised her head, bit her lower lip and stared at the young swordsman in front of her, and then said word by word: "Except for the pavilion master, I am indeed Miss Qing's closest friend." Man, I've also wondered over the years who killed her...and why she had to be killed!"

"Then why didn't you mention a single word to me from the beginning to the end!" Tang Yun suddenly asked loudly, stepped in front of Cheng Qinghuai, grabbed her hand, and raised her voice without waiting for her answer: "I asked you so many times why is she?" Going up to Yunyin Mountain, but you never answered me, everything changed after she came down from Yunyin Mountain, until she died!

"Until she died, you never told me why she went to Yunyin Mountain!"

Tang Yun shook her hand away, and because of anger, he trembled at the end of a sentence.Bai Qiuling quietly stretched out his hand, grabbed him from behind and clasped his fingers tightly, whispering in his ear: "Calm down, Tang Yun."

"She went to Hidden Cloud Mountain because... because of—uh!"

"...Sister Qing, Sister Qing!"

Before Cheng Qinghuai finished speaking, Tang Yun saw a silver needle piercing her throat, and it fell on the cloth in front of him with blood, and he took it with both hands.

Cheng Qinghuai, whose complexion paled instantly, hurriedly called out: "Sister Qing!"

Bai Qiuling caught a glimpse of the corner of his clothes by the door, said "be careful" in a low voice, and quickly chased him out.

Tang Yun repeatedly sealed many big acupuncture points on Cheng Qinghuai's body, but he couldn't stop her breathing from becoming weak in front of him.He watched Cheng Qinghuai's lips still opening and closing weakly, and he could only cover her throat with his hands in a moment of confusion, trying to stop the blood from gushing out there.

Obviously the truth is close at hand, he was so upset that he could only say over and over again: "Sister Qing... Sister Qing, you can't..."

It was the first time for Cheng Qinghuai to see Tang Yun in such a helpless state. She was heartbroken and desperate. She raised one hand tremblingly, and then lowered it heavily after touching the side of his face.

She had known Logan since she was a child, and she was a child when Logan picked her up.Not only Tang Wan was kind to her, but Tang Jingzhou and Xu Rushi treated her as their own, treated her very well, and trusted her very much.

She gathered some strength, Tang Yun held her hand tightly, and she held it back with all her strength, with a few whimpers in her throat, she was finally able to speak.

But she didn't explain why Tang Wan wanted to go to Yunyin Mountain. Tang Yun leaned over her mouth to distinguish carefully, but she was so angry that she felt that there was darkness in front of her eyes, and she was falling into the boundless abyss.

When she saw Tang Wan, Tang Wan still said to her with such a gentle and beautiful appearance, she said to Tang Yun: "Take care... Take care of yourself..."

"No... no no no! Sister Qing——Sister Qing!" Tang Yun watched Cheng Qinghuai slowly close his eyes in front of her, breathing quickly and then stopped abruptly. His hands were covered with blood, and he held Cheng Qinghuai tightly. Hugging tightly, a huge heartache swept over for a while, and then surrounded and washed away by hatred in an instant.

He gently put Cheng Qinghuai on the ground, his fingers creaked into fists, and chased him out.

At this time, the whole mountain of Taohuajian is as red as soaked in blood, and the maple forest in the distance is surging like a sea of ​​blood, dyeing Tang Yun's eyes red, burning like a raging fire, burning all the way through , Wherever the eyes go, there is a dead air, not a blade of grass grows.

Bai Qiuling had already subdued the man, but the man knelt on the ground without saying a word, and he didn't open his mouth to Qing Yu who was shining coldly.He didn't dare to kill people easily - this person would come here to kill Cheng Qinghuai, he must be ordered by others, the needle pierced through the throat, Cheng Qinghuai would definitely die, if it was too late to tell the truth, then this person would become The only clues left so far.

Tang Yun walked past him, walked up to the man and knelt down |, his blood-stained hand instantly grabbed the man's throat.

He forced the man to raise his head, and slowly tightened his fingers with extreme restraint. Seeing that his hands were shaking, Bai Qiuling knew in his heart that Cheng Qinghuai was dead.

"Who sent you here?"

"..."

Before Tang Yun could kill him, the man bit his tongue and committed suicide.

But Tang Yun still didn't give up. He dragged him up from the ground, and asked him several times in vain. Bai Qiuling couldn't bear to see him, hugged him from behind, and kept comforting him softly in his ear: "Tang Yun ...Tang Yun, don't be like this, he is dead, he is already dead..."

"He's dead, he's dead..." Tang Yun let go of his hand slowly, the man fell to the ground with a muffled sound, and twitched a few more times before he died completely.

Bai Qiuling's drooping eyes saw that Tang Yun's hand hanging by his side gradually tightened again, fearing that he would hurt him, he stretched out his hand to hold him slowly, put his lips next to his ear and whispered, "Find Shan Xiuming."

He took a step forward and stood face to face with Tang Yun, put his hand on his shoulder, and said: "If you find Shan Xiuming, everything will be revealed."

Tang Yun didn't speak, he raised his hand and hugged him into his arms, with his palm against his back, he tightened his arms and hugged him tightly.

The two stood embracing each other for a long time, Tang Yun still didn't speak, Bai Qiuling looked around at the unique scenery, as if he could feel how the heart of the person in his arms was collapsing little by little, and when the evening wind came oncoming, it blew It made his heart ache.

He tightened his arms a little more, and kissed Tang Yun's neck lightly, saying "you and me" and went away with the wind, falling into the fiery red maple forest in the distant mountains.

two months later.

The two finally met Duan Qingshuang again by the Yongluo River.

Duan Qingshuang's spirit has improved a lot, but her body still looks weak.She had a broken heart before and was bedridden for three months, and now she can live alone without the care of others.At this moment, she was sitting by the river and setting off a lantern, the sparkling water reflected in her eyes, and her gaze became far away as the lantern went down the river.

She never said a word, Tang Yun and Bai Qiuling stood behind her and waited quietly.

Five days ago, they received a letter from Duan Qingshuang, saying that she had found a letter written by Duan Zhou, which recorded a very strange incident. She guessed that this matter might be related to the deaths of Tang Wan and Cheng Qinghuai, so she wrote a letter and asked her The pavilion sent a message, and they made an appointment with Yongluo to meet each other.

Both Bai Qiuling and Pinglou are indebted to her, and everything she can do is to be repaid.

She finally stood up after setting up the three lanterns, took out a familiar jade pendant from her sleeves and handed it to Bai Qiuling, and said calmly: "I didn't know that he had also been to Yunyin Mountain."

Bai Qiuling took the Yunyin Pendant in his hand and examined it carefully, and asked her: "Duan Zhou also went to Yunyin Mountain?"

"Yes, he once worshiped under the gate of Yunyin Mountain, senior Si Yan. The sword casting manuals of Qingshuang Sword and Qingming Sword were brought back from Yunyin Mountain. He never told his father that these two sword casting manuals came from Yunyin Mountain. Where did he come from, whenever his father asked him, he would be evasive and refused to elaborate." Duan Qingshuang said, his eyes fell on Tang Yun, and he walked a few steps towards the river, saying: "I am casting the letter. I found it in the sword room, it's inside—”

She turned around and reached out to hand the letter in front of Tang Yun, and said: "I don't remember all of it, but he mentioned the eight swords."

Tang Yun took the letter and flipped through it, and saw the names of several swords by the moonlight, and each sword was followed by a name.

"Hengjun's manual of casting flowers and casting swords is in the hands of Ling Hanhai, the owner of Flying Star Valley. He died in Flying Star Valley 12 years ago. It is said that he accidentally ate poisonous weeds; Qingshuang Qingming casting sword manual is in the hands of Duan Zhou, and Duan Zhou is dead; The sword manual made by Yuyanzhu tears is in the hands of Jiang Jiwen, the master of Bixinmen. The sword was forged by Jiang Yuyan, and she is already dead. Cast in a single ternary."

Duan Qingshuang narrated the whereabouts of the sword manual one by one, Bai Qiuling frowned at the moment, went to Tang Yun, took the letter and looked through it carefully, and said: "The people mentioned by the senior just now are only Shan Sanyuan and Bi Xinmen. Master Jiang Jiwen is still alive, their deaths...is it a coincidence?"

But Tang Yun shook his head and said, "My sister is also dead. If these people have all been to Yunyin Mountain, then it's probably not a coincidence." From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Bai Qiuling's Yunyin pendant engraved with the word "Zhou". , After pondering for a moment, he said again: "Shan Xiuming has been hiding his name in a pavilion for many years. After my sister came down from Yunyin Mountain, he has been lurking without doing anything, and then my sister was suddenly silenced by him. It must be because my sister found something.

"And he also killed Su Yuansi to frame me, together with you - you are also from Yunyin, and you are looking for these swords one by one."

Bai Qiuling was taken aback for a while before he said: "You mean, Shan Xiuming wants to bury the secret of Yunyin Mountain forever, so..."

"Flying Star Valley has been good at medicine and medicine for generations. The plants and trees in the valley are all medicines. It is no problem to use poison. Guzhu Lingjun said before that there is no poison that he can't cure. Su Yuansi's martial arts is so strong that he is alone in the world. He can't kill it easily. , and Duan Zhou, it may indeed be an accident that he died in my hands." Before Tang Yun finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand, opened the folding fan and attacked Bai Qiuling head-on, swirled around his neck and returned to Tang Yun's hand .

"It's like I sneaked up on you just now. People with such high martial arts skills like them must have lost their lives so easily because they were unguarded against those who came. My sister, Ling Hanhai, and Su Yuansi all knew Shan Xiuming. He did not hesitate to kill these people one by one. Killing them all, but not wanting the sword manual, then there must be something more important to him than the sword manual."

Bai Qiuling pinched the strands of hair that had just been cut off by Tang Yun's folding fan with one hand, thought for a while, and nodded in agreement. He just opened his mouth, but Duan Qingshuang, who had been silent for a long time, cut off the conversation again.

"Pavilion Master Tang, Young Master Bai

Xia, the person was killed by Shan Sanyuan, but as the pavilion master said, the sword manual and the sword are not important to him, but the truth that Miss Tang Wan and Miss Cheng know-he tried his best to kill his friends. hidden truth. "

Duan Qingshuang tied her hair up in a bun, Bai Qiuling saw her eyelashes were wet, and the sparkle in her eyes finally rushed out from the corners of her eyes. She restrained her emotions, and said in a choked voice: "I guess my father knew something, so he died tragically." Under that poisonous person..."

Tang Yun and Bai Qiuling looked at each other, walked to Duan Qingshuang's side and followed her line of sight, just in time to see the three lanterns disappearing at the end of the night.He considered for a moment, then slowly said: "We will definitely investigate this matter, senior, please don't be too sad, your body is important."

"Miss Cheng took good care of me. I'm well. This jade pendant and this letter are the last thing I can do for you two. Please take care of me."

The two watched Cheng Qinghuai leave, and stood by the river for a long time.

Bai Qiuling held Duanzhou's Yunyin Pei in his hand, rubbing his thumb repeatedly on the word "zhou", watching the moon reflected in the water shaking and breaking under the sweeping autumn wind, he took half a step forward, stretched out his hand to hold Tang Yun , Tang Yun turned his head to look at the knuckle fingers, and then raised his eyes to look at him.

Seeing the broken moon and distant stars in his eyes, his heart softened suddenly, and he smiled gently at him after a long absence.
