stepping on the moon and asking green hills

Bai Qiuling and Tang Yun waited for Jiang Yuehui all night, packed their bags early the next morning and waited at the gate of Flying Star Valley.Surrounded by purple plants, Situ Nianjun walked briskly towards them with a bamboo basket in his hand in the mist.

Situ Nianjun is now called Ling Yiwan, Tang Yun and Bai Qiuling are a little bit overwhelmed, often the word "Situ" comes to the lips, and then silently swallows it into the throat.

In the past, Situ Nianjun's clothes were mostly light yellow and snow white, with a high-ranking, upright ladylike temperament, long skirts reaching the floor, and waist-length hair.Ling Yiwan now likes to wear blue and purple skirts, which are convenient for walking in the mountains and wrap her calves with satin. If there is wind, the corners of her skirts will flutter when she walks, her hair is tied into a ponytail, and she always smiles. The sound is also generous and crisp.

She took a few fresh lotus roots from the bamboo basket in her hand and handed them to Bai Qiuling, and said with a smile, "This is the lotus pod I just picked. The lotus seeds are sweet and plump. The two heroes can take them to eat on the road."

"Thank you Miss Ling." Bai Qiuling took the freshly washed lotus pod, nodded and saw the big lotus seeds, covered with a layer of tender green and hidden in the hole.

Still smiling, she pointed to the lotus pod, then handed the basket on her arm to Tang Yun and said, "Be sure to peel the lotus heart when you eat it. The lotus seeds of Fulian are sweet and crisp. Uncle asked me to pick a lot of them." , These are for Young Master Jiang and Young Master Jiang."

"Young Master Jiang" and "Young Master Jiang" squeezed out of the purple plant in a hurry.Seeing that Bai Qiuling and Tang Yun had been waiting for a long time, Jiang Mian patted the dew on his sleeves and apologized, "I kept you two waiting."

"We just came out, Young Master Jiang doesn't have to be so polite all the time." Bai Qiuling nodded in response to him, pulled Tang Yun's wide sleeves calmly, and said: "Ah Yue is the younger brother of the pavilion master. We were originally a family.”

"A family?" Tang Yun sneered, opened the folding fan in his hand, slowly turned around while shaking his legs, and walked forward.

Hearing his strange tone, Jiang Yuehui gritted his teeth angrily. On the way here just now, Jiang Mian completely forgot what Jiang Mian said to him, and stomped out, his face turned red and he said, "If you Unwilling--"

Tang Yun stopped when he heard the sound, turned his head and caught a glimpse of his clenched fists from the corner of his head, bent his lips and smiled lightly, waiting for him to speak with 12 patience.

Thousands of angry words went around in Jiang Yuehui's mind, but when he saw the tall and straight figure in front of him, it turned into a "I'm sorry" strangely, and bumped into Tang Yun lightly.

Tang Yun's hands paused, and when he turned around, the fan was already in his palm.

Jiang Mian raised her hand and patted Jiang Yuehui's back. Jiang Yuehui was comforted and encouraged, so she walked a few steps towards Tang Yun, and slowly loosened her clenched fists, using a louder voice than the sorry one just now, After looking straight into Tang Yun's eyes and "confronting" him for a while, he finally said: "I shouldn't have said that yesterday, I'm sorry, but I still have to go back to Bixinmen."

Bai Qiuling quite understood: "Well, you grew up there, even if you want to return to the Central Plains, of course you have to make it clear to the Jiangmen master."

"Even if you want to go back, you can't do it now." Tang Yun said.

Jiang Yuehui reflexively asked him, "Why?!"

As expected of a brother from the same mother, Tang Yun frowned and asked Jiang Yuehui, "Then why do you have to go back now?"

"Because I—I want it!" Jiang Yuehui felt embarrassed for the first time, and felt that telling his real brother that he had slept with his sweetheart was more difficult than raising Gu worms.

Jiang Mian didn't know what he was going to say, and seeing him hesitate for a long time, Jiang Mian leaned over to him and asked him softly, "What's the matter?... I have promised you, and I will keep it." Promise, you don't have to worry."

Tang Yun's 12 points of patience quickly ran out, and he asked in displeasure, "What's the reason!"

Jiang Yuehui seemed to have suddenly gained courage from Jiang Mian beside him, and pulled his wrist backhand and said loudly: "I want to go back to Bixinmen to ask Father for marriage. If my brother and I are not brothers, then he has no reason to stop us, and last night I've done that to my brother,--I'm going to

He is in charge! "

Jiang Mian was extremely embarrassed, raised her hand to pinch the center of her eyebrows, and the other hand held by Jiang Yuehui couldn't break free no matter what.

Bai Qiuling froze in place after hearing Jiang Yuehui's shocking words—this Jiang Yuehui, speaking such domineering words, had exactly the same expression as Tang Yun.He was amazed that the two brothers had been separated for more than ten years but could not be separated by blood. He sighed secretly and shook his head.

Seeing that Tang Yun didn't speak for a while, Jiang Yuehui thought that he was going to say "no" again, so he immediately made preparations, dragging Jiang Mian to escape and flee back to the Western Regions.

Unexpectedly, Tang Yun smiled, said "yes" lightly, turned around and walked out two steps, then turned back, and said to Jiang Yuehui solemnly: "Bixinmen is far away in the Western Regions, and this dowry gift must be prepared. You must not lose the pomp when you hire me from the pavilion."

Bai Qiuling: "..."

Jiang Yuehui jumped for joy, a huge stone fell to the ground in his heart, he let go of his hands and trotted towards Tang Yun without saying a word, opened his arms and hugged Tang Yun who was caught off guard, and said happily: "Thank you brother!"

Jiang Mian didn't have time to think about why it was "Xiapin", all the things from last night were in his mind - no matter how coaxed he was last night, he couldn't agree to call Tang Yun "brother", but now he shouted very happily.

Tang Yun was shocked by the long-lost blood and family love that hit his heart. His wrist stiffened, and the folding fan fell to the ground. The water-colored sword tassel rolled around on the soil to dry it on the ground. Bai Qiuling squatted down It was still clean when picked up.

He suddenly panicked, not knowing how to face this lively young man—the last gift his parents gave him.

"you......"

"Brother, what I said yesterday was not sincere. You must not be angry with me again. After I finish this matter, I will go back to the Central Plains with you to see my parents and my sister."

"I--"

"Thank you bro!"

......

on the official road.

Jiang Yuehui felt sorry for Jiang Mian's exhaustion last night, so he let him sit in the carriage with Bai Qiuling and Tang Yun, but after a few miles, he felt extremely embarrassed, and opened the door curtain to sit next to Jiang Yuehui.

Jiang Yuehui looked at him, pulled out the cushion under his buttocks and handed it to him. Seeing that he refused again and again, he took the rein with one hand, pulled him around his waist with the other, and kissed him on his lips. He said softly and ambiguously in his ear: "The padded cushion is more comfortable, brother can use it." After speaking, he pinched the waist gently.

Jiang Mian then coughed twice and said in a low voice, "...take a good look at the road." Then she still put the cushion under her body.

"Didn't you say yesterday that you are worried about him going back to Bixin Gate at this time?"

In the carriage separated by a curtain, Bai Qiuling was sitting upright with his back against the carriage, Tang Yun leaned lazily on him, twisted a lock of his black hair around his fingertips with his fingers, and said with a smile: "I changed it again." I have made up my mind, it is not a loss to accompany him on this trip with the young master of Bixinmen as his brother-in-law."

Bai Qiuling couldn't help laughing, while the horses and chariots were moving steadily, they concentrated on reading the sword manual.

Jiang Yuehui returned home like an arrow, and the few people did not delay along the way. The carriage drove for a few days, but each of them changed to a fast horse and galloped back.From Guihe Town to Suning Fort, it was only a short distance, but people kept talking about Bixinmen. At first, Jiang Mian and Jiang Yuehui didn't care much, after all, Bixinmen and Xuanyu Palace have been used to people all the year round. The conversation after dinner, but neither of them expected that this time the word of mouth from those people would become true.

——Bi Xin Gate was burned.

A big fire burned the originally magnificent Bixin Gate into the Duan Mansion that Bai Qiuling saw back then.

The fire burned the main courtyard of Bixin Gate. Standing at the door, it seemed as if you could see how the arrogant and terrifying flames climbed up the gateposts and beams, and then devoured them bit by bit.

Jiang Mian and Jiang Yuehui obviously suffered a lot. They stood at the door in a daze for a moment before remembering to do something. They opened their legs and were about to run in. Bai Qiuling and Tang Yun quickly grabbed an arm. Pulled the two back.

Jiang Yuehui was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the same place and couldn't make money.

Taking off Tang Yun's hand, he said repeatedly: "Father is still at home, brother, let go, brother and I will go in and have a look!"

"I didn't let you come back because I was afraid that something would happen to Bixinmen. If you two ran in without hesitation, if people from the Tianyun Sect were ambushed inside, you would give Shan Sanyuan two more lives!" Tang Yun said The cursing words turned around and swallowed back into his stomach. He pulled Jiang Yuehui back, and then the burnt beams hanging above Jiang Yuehui's head collapsed.

Jiang Mian immediately pulled the man back a few steps, the nurse checked carefully in his arms, and said fearfully, "Is it not hurt?"

"No, brother, don't worry." Jiang Yuehui was really taken aback. Seeing Tang Yun snorting coldly, he stepped into the gate first, and followed with an aggrieved face.

The fire burned to the backyard and was blocked by several walls, unable to spread further back, Bai Qiuling saw the collapsed corridor at first glance, then looked around carefully, and said: "The fire in the main courtyard is so big, we can hardly walk in all the way. No one was seen and there was no sign of anyone fleeing to the backyard."

"If it's just to kill people, Tianyun Sect won't just set the fire on and leave." Tang Yun raised his foot to avoid the sundries on the ground, looked back and forth at the walls that blocked the fire, and said: "These few How does the wall look like it is guarding here for a rainy day, waiting for the Tianyun Sect to set fire to it?"

Several people came to the backyard to check carefully, and there was no one in the courtyard.The whole door didn't look like they packed up their clothes and ran away, but rather like they were taken away suddenly—suddenly and hastily.

The cooks in the kitchen had only half cooked the dishes, the pots and bowls were still scattered on the stove, the laundry room was even more messy, and the entire backyard was in a mess as if it had been ransacked.

Jiang Yuehui came out of Jiang Jiwen's room in a hurry, holding a wooden box in his arms, trotted over and said hurriedly: "I found this in Father's room, in my room!"

Jiang Mian came out of the woodshed when he heard the sound, took the wooden box from him, inspected it carefully, and said, "This seems to be used by my father to store some correspondence."

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand slipped, and the mahogany box fell to the ground with a clang, and the letters inside were scattered all over the floor.

Jiang Yuehui reacted first and squatted down to pick it up. When he picked up the last letter and held it in his hand, he suddenly found a shiny thing on the ground, so he picked up that shiny thing too, and found that it was a longevity lock. .

The word "moon" was engraved on the Longevity Lock, and there were four small and exquisite bells hanging on it. Jiang Yuehui shook it in his hand, and immediately made a clear sound.

Jiang Mian nodded, glanced at the thick stack of letters in his hands, and said to himself, "These...how are these letters addressed to Daxia Tang and his wife?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yun took a step forward, and also looked down at the letter in Jiang Mian's hand. The top envelope really had his parents' names written on it.He brought the first seal over, Jiang Mian saw him open the letter before he could stop it.

"Brother Jingzhou, Rushi's sister-in-law, today is Ah Yue's birthday, and I will send you a letter to tell you about the child's recent situation. Ah Yue is extremely talented, especially good at light kung fu. I am really ashamed of swordsmanship, so I can only pass on Gu skills." Fortunately, Ah Yue is born wise, more than other children of the same age..."

As mentioned in the letter, 25 years ago, Si Yan Wushuang won the world in swordsmanship and had no rivals. Two years later, he opened his gates to discuss swords with the world.In the following three years, he compiled a sword-making manual of ten swords based on what he had learned all his life, and became a martial arts legend again.

At that time, Tang Jingzhou and Xu Rushi were a couple of immortals in the rivers and lakes. They were the best in martial arts and the best chivalrous fighters. They walked the rivers and lakes together for many years and have always been admired by people.Later, the couple became parents. In order to take care of their children, they gradually faded out of the public's sight.

They lived here for more than ten years, until Tang Yun was four years old when the gate of Yunyin Mountain was opened again, and the two came out of the rivers and lakes again, and went to Yunyin Mountain to learn from Si Yan.Like everyone who loves swords, the two have benefited a lot from Yunyin and Si Yan's one-year sword training. Both swordsmanship and swordsmithing skills have improved. Among several disciples, Si Yan loves and is the most The ones who trust are the two of them.

Written by Si Yan

Ten sword casting manuals, after careful consideration, he decided to cast Tingfeng Sword and Qingyu Sword as a gift to Tang Jingzhou and his wife, but unfortunately, the sword casting manuals were stolen before the swords were cast.

At that time, Shan Sanyuan and Duan Zhou firmly said that it was stolen by the sect outside the Great Wall, and later Ling Hanhai also came out to "testify". Bring back the sword manual.

There are so many masters in the Tianyun Sect in the Western Regions, and the leader is ruthless. The great war many years ago was ignited by the Tianyun Sect. This trip must be extremely dangerous.Si Yan originally disagreed, but he reluctantly let go after Tang Jingzhou and Xu Rushi's repeated pleas, fulfilling the determination of several people to get back the sword manual.

But he didn't expect that after they left, his two most beloved apprentices would never come back. He suddenly "understood" that this might be the revenge trap of the Tianyun Sect. For the shame of Yixue's defeat, they worked so hard and hibernated For many years, he only wanted to kill his apprentice, which made him fall into boundless self-blame.

Si Yan didn't pursue it anymore. He didn't even ask where the other sword manuals were and who owned them. He only listened to Shan Sanyuan's saying that the rest of the people kept the sword manuals very well. , can be sent back to Yunyin at any time, and then retreated, no longer asking about world affairs.

......

After reading the letters in his hand one by one, a guilty and self-blaming Jiang Jiwen, a Jiang Jiwen whom Jiang Mian and Jiang Yuehui had never seen before, appeared in front of several people. Bai Qiuling sorted out what happened that year, and even confessed to Tang Jingzhou and his wife every word, and even confessed to Jiang Yuehui.

He already knew the whole truth back then. It was Xu Rushi who told him personally that he kept his promise and kept Jiang Yuehui up. What he regretted was "keeping his promise" for so many years. p
