After Zhou Fei stabbed the black judge, she really didn't have the strength to draw the knife, so she had to let the broken cover stick to the corpse, standing like a flag in the middle of the mess.
She took a few steps back with relief, leaned her back against a big tree, and slid down the trunk to the ground.
After all, she was young, the wound on the back of her hand quickly scabbed over, the blood stains were mixed in the floating dust, and the skin color was almost invisible.
Zhou Fei lowered her head and glanced at her hand. It was obvious that the thick cocoon had been rubbed into the palm of her hand by the long-term swinging of the knife. When she held the shatter cover with too much force, she actually rubbed the thick cocoon.
If it wasn't for her lack of energy, she would definitely not have killed Feng Wuyan so happily. She also wanted to know the whereabouts of the real Daoist Chongxiao, why there was a Nirvana Gu in the Qimen's forbidden area, and wanted to ask Knowing exactly what the relationship between the assassin who has been washing his hands for a long time has anything to do with Haitian Yishi, why did he kill Yin Pei, and why he also got rid of himself...
But it's all saved now.
After all, the truth can be explored after the fact, but if one is not decisive, the little life is gone, and there is no need to ask anything.
Zhou Fei began to feel a little cold, as if from the moment she went down the mountain, the kind of rivers and lakes she longed for when she was young, where she could sit down and drink a pot of wine with passersby, fell apart. She was forced to become suspicious, thoughtful, and suspicious. After this, she is on guard for that, always ready to be plotted against by a stranger with a kind-hearted face, or betrayed by someone she used to trust... But she is naturally reluctant to think too much, and sometimes she feels like her brain is going to explode when she thinks about it. , but still can't achieve "worldly insight".
By the way... and the medicine man who sacrificed his life to save her.
Feng Wuyan finally pried open the medicine man's teeth and pulled out the iron flute that was poking in his eyes. With too much force, the iron mask on his face and a few front teeth were thrown away, revealing the bloody blood underneath. a face.
No matter how handsome a person is, a hole has been stabbed in the eye, and his image is not neat, not to mention that this person has been poisoned for many years and has already lost his appearance.
He fell to the ground with his eyes closed, and there were bloodstains hanging between his open lips and teeth, which was very ugly.
Zhou Fei stared at that face for a long time before she could see a clue from the half-section of her eyebrows that were still well preserved, and vaguely recognized the outline of an acquaintance—it seemed to be the young master of the Xingnan Security Bureau they met outside Yongzhou City back then. Zhu Chen.
Yin Pei robbed the mountain of the living and the dead, and his deeds were even higher than those of the four previous demons combined. Countless innocent people died in his hands. It was a small escort, and the family was in trouble. It is only by relying on Huo Liantao's subordinates to survive, and it is no different from grass without roots. Presumably in today's world, even if the family is destroyed overnight, no one will think about avenging their grievances.
Yongzhou and his party, there have been too many things, and the memory is rich enough to draw a big story. In contrast, the small escort that was rescued on the way seems like a bonus, and it is not worth remembering.
Looking back now, Zhou Fei only remembered that there was a well-informed old man in the group, a big girl with a blurred face, and a little white face who was used as decoration along the way and stuttered whenever she talked to her.
As Zhou Fei grew older and experienced more and more, many things no longer had to be analyzed in detail as before, and she vaguely understood why Zhu Chen helped her. She leaned her head slightly against the icy tree trunk, and felt that the night wind around her seemed to be overwhelmed. It is a stormy sea, but it also turns a thousand times.
But no matter what emotion she was sitting here, what story she thought... For Zhu Chen, it was all irrelevant.
Because it's late.
Zhou Fei did not know how long she had been sitting in the forest full of corpses. She remembered Xie Yun's romantic drama "The House of Hate". The dramas that were popular all over the country in the past few years have disappeared for a long time, not even the crappiest artists. Singing - people don't like to listen to it anymore. In recent years, the army has become more and more chaotic, everyone is tired of running, and it is all about the hatred of the country and the family.
Fenghuaxueyue is too far, outdated.
I don't know if the news of Cao Zhongkun's death has reached Zhou Yitang or not, presumably the war is about to start again.
There are also hidden turmoil in the rivers and lakes. For several generations, you have sung the martial arts that I will debut. Everyone has their own selfishness, and everyone has a story that goes back and forth. Every time someone dies, every moment is fighting. The many causes and effects that arise out of nowhere are like thin threads. They have been harassed by the worst craftsmen, and they are woven into a mess. Zhou Fei can't even find a thread. , just like this long night of Weiyang that will never pass, I can see through it at a glance, but I still can't see my head.
Zhou Fei tried to put all the incidents in order, but the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.
It was not until the long night passed that she was disturbed by the morning light that pierced Tianyu.
The disturbing morning light was interspersed with the sound of the strings plucking. Zhou Fei was already alert the moment she opened her eyes, and she saw a person sitting on the top of a tree in the backlight, less than ten feet away from her. The place.
The man was sitting lightly on the top of the tree, his temples were already gray, he was wearing a peach red robe with a demonic aura, his long hair was scattered behind him, and he was holding a pipa in his hand.
It was actually Mu Xiaoqiao who had been missing for many years!
Zhou Fei was startled, and subconsciously touched the weapon blade on her waist, and when she felt empty, she remembered that the broken cover was still stuck on Feng Wuyan's corpse.
Mu Xiaoqiao glanced at her indifferently, stretched out ten fingers to press down the strings of the pipa, jumped down from the tree, walked around among the many corpses, then turned around and asked Zhou Fei, "Did Yin Pei still run away? Did you kill Feng Wuyan?"
Zhou Fei opened her mouth, but her throat was a little swollen after the injury, and she didn't make a sound for a while.
Mu Xiaoqiao let out a "tsk", and took out the broken cover from behind Feng Wuyan, took out a piece of fine silk, and wiped the blood on the handle and body of the knife.
"Broken... Cover." Mu Xiaoqiao read out the sword inscription, tilted his head to think for a moment, and said, "It sounds familiar, is this yours?"
With Zhou Fei's current accomplishments in the snow breaking knife, she didn't have to be afraid of Mu Xiaoqiao, but now she is seriously injured and the knife is still in someone else's hands... It's hard to say.
Who knew that the next moment, Mu Xiaoqiao raised his hand and threw the broken cover to her.
As soon as Zhou Fei caught it with her hands, she could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Only by holding the handle of the knife, she could feel the solidity of her feet on the ground. She looked at the former big devil with a little doubt, not knowing what medicine he was selling in the gourd.
"You don't have to be so nervous," Mu Xiaoqiao turned over Feng Wuyan's body with his toes to observe carefully, and said to Zhou Fei without raising his head, "I don't kill women."
Zhou Fei couldn't help laughing and laughing after hearing this shameless announcement, so she cleared her throat and said hoarsely, "Why didn't you say that you still eat fast?"
Mu Xiaoqiao didn't get angry, and said calmly: "I won't lie to you, I really don't kill women - only men and ugly people. Those who are not good-looking can't be considered women in my place, so I kill them."
Zhou Fei was speechless, and felt that the person who could say this must have a hole as big as Dongting Lake in his mind.
However, Zhou Fei thought about it and felt that it was nothing. Because Mu Xiaoqiao has always been a world-famous big devil, he has always been unreasonable, bullying the weak and killing innocent people all day long. She counts as a woman, and maybe she becomes an older one the day after tomorrow—it's all up to him anyway, it just depends on who he wants to attack.
People often judge saints such as Shanchuanjian with extremely high standards, but if there is something wrong with him, they will feel that this person is actually difficult to match with his reputation, and he is suspected of being a hypocrite. But he is much more tolerant towards Mu Xiaoqiao and the like, as long as he doesn't bite...
Zhou Fei was also not immune to the custom, and quickly "forgave" Mu Xiaoqiao's rude remarks, and asked, "Master Suzaku hasn't shown up for a long time, what are you doing here today?"
Mu Xiaoqiao pulled a mess of hair on the temples and said, "I'll take a look at that iron-masked demon. I heard that the boy is Yin Pei, and he also has the scabbard of Shanchuan?"
Zhou Fei said: "Not bad."
Mu Xiaoqiao then said: "Actually, it's none of my business, but last time I was in Yongzhou, the old woman from Yuyi Ban helped me, although she was useless, but I don't owe any favors, I will help her this time. one time."
In Yongzhou City, Mrs. Nishang came forward to compete for Shen Duyin, why is she "helping Mu Xiaoqiao"? What is the reason for Yin Pei to be surrounded and suppressed this time
Mu Xiaoqiao's words were vague, but the connotations were very rich.
Zhou Fei thought for a while, then tentatively said: "Forgive my stupidity, I didn't understand... What did the Lord Suzaku help Mrs. Nishang?"
Mu Xiaoqiao glanced at her and said with a smile, "Just tell me what I want to ask, I don't care about the restrictions of the oath and covenant, I can say whatever I want."
Zhou Fei was not good at hitting the front, so she immediately got off the slope and said bluntly: "So Lord Suzaku is also a witness of 'the sea and the sky'."
"Not bad." Mu Xiaoqiao said.
Zhou Fei added: "Mrs. Nishang once said that the so-called 'sea and sky are one color', there is no special treasure, it is just a covenant."
"The oath made by a group of big fools." Mu Xiaoqiao said, "The two sides did not trust each other, so they found a group of witnesses who benefited from both ends—for example, me, while the favor was promised to help me find out the identity of an enemy, The other side promised to help me get out of the mountain of living and dead."
Zhou Fei suddenly realized - it seems that the same is true of Uncle Yu Taishi and the others. At that time, the two brothers, the landlord and the master Mingfeng, were devastated. They gave them "Guiyang Pill" and gave them a place to retreat.
No wonder Li Zheng, the old village owner back then, defied the public opinion and introduced the incompatible Mingfeng Tower into the Forty-eight Villages.
Zhou Fei asked: "Then what is the oath..."
"Just don't reveal the secret of 'Hai Tian Yi Se'," Mu Xiaoqiao said, "Don't look at me, it's useless to look at me, that secret has never been leaked, so I don't know what it is. If you get a monk, you can’t escape from the temple, but most of our witnesses are assassins and the like, hiding in the dark. On the one hand, we keep an eye on the keepers to keep secrets from leaking, and on the other hand, we witness that they won’t be killed and silenced because of this… It’s like a 'middleman' who buys a house and land, you understand?"
Zhou Fei was dazed by the chaotic relationship here, and lowered her head in thought.
"Water ripples are the last life-saving charms of those who keep secrets. If the other party is malicious and wants to kill them, the keepers can entrust the tokens to the witnesses through an agreed method. If you die clean, you can also piece together the secret of 'the sea and the sky'." Mu Xiaoqiao said, "However, after so many years, the keepers have not leaked the secrets, and they have all died of irrelevant things. ', this matter should be over, it doesn't matter if the water ripple token is taken by others, they don't know what it is anyway."
Zhou Fei said: "So when the Shanchuan sword was taken by Zheng Luosheng, Mrs. Nishang didn't come out to chase it?"
"It's useless to chase, the woman in Yuyi class can't beat Zheng Luosheng." Mu Xiaoqiao waved her hand, "But that's true, Yin Wenlan will never leak the words 'Haitian Yishe' to Zheng Luosheng, if she doesn't give up and pursues Asking for it, on the contrary, is equivalent to smashing this matter out, so I have been silent, but…”
Mu Xiaoqiao paused, and Zhou Fei quickly replied, "I just didn't expect that after many years, 'Haitian Yishe' would be stabbed out of nowhere, and because of a bunch of rumors that were spreading more and more outrageous, everyone was rushing to it. Competition, so Lord Suzaku went to Yongzhou to take back the seal of independence?"
"Ha!" Mu Xiaoqiao raised her eyebrows, "I'm not as busy as the women in the Yuyi class, I just took Huo Liantao's head."
Zhou Fei ignored his rude remarks and said, "That Mrs. Nishang is this time to take back the Mountain and River Sword from Yin Pei?"
"Probably." Mu Xiaoqiao said, "The meatball surnamed Liu was born in Mount Tai, and I was always at odds with the Mount Tai faction, so I didn't show up. I didn't expect them to be so lively, and they actually called Yin Pei to run away without a sound. …Huh? This is…”
Zhou Fei just wanted to ask him if the black judge was also a witness, and where he came from, when she saw Mu Xiaoqiao standing aside with her hands folded, looking down at a corpse the size of a slap with interest, and said, "Listen. Said that the old Taoist priest from Qimen smoked horns and found Nirvana Gu seedlings from nowhere. I thought it was a rumor. It turns out that there is such a thing in the world... Hey, it's a pity that you cut it with a knife. I heard that the old Taoist kept this thing for the sake of it. Medicine."
Zhou Fei heard the word "medicine" and immediately forgot everything: "What medicine?"
