Bai Shanshui was silent in the black carriage.
"Seven Realms..."
She pondered, slowly raised her head, and said softly to herself: "In the past when the fish market entered the Weihe River, the four orphaned girls will reunite in the dark, and now even Miss Gongsun has appeared, Zhao Miao, Where are you again?"
Zhao Miao is Mr. Zhao Si.
After the Battle of Yushi, Zhao Si's natal sword was destroyed and disappeared, but Bai Shanshui always felt that Mr. Zhao Si, just like himself, would never be reconciled when he saw this majestic city with gray walls and black tiles.
Obviously she was an opponent who used to be a life and death opponent, but now thinking of Zhao Miao, she felt inexplicably emotional, warm and expectant.
…
The caravan marching on the border of Chu finally got closer and closer to Yandi.
Because of accumulated too much exhaustion, the mood of most people in the caravan became more irritable. However, the old man Zhang Yi has been taking care of seems to be in a better mood because of the proximity to his hometown. He also uttered bad words to Zhang Yi's many demands, but fell into silence for more time, squinting his dim eyes, as if he was constantly remembering something.
When some villages on the border of Yandi could be vaguely seen, the old man seemed to have a lot of energy suddenly. After eating the dinner brought by Zhang Yi at sunset, he smiled at Zhang Yi very rarely, and sneered at Zhang Yi as if he had seen through Zhang Yi : "A young practitioner like you should not follow such a horse team like a bereaved dog. You must have committed a felony in Changling, so you escaped from Changling in this way."
Zhang Yi was slightly taken aback, and said with some embarrassment: "Sir, you have misunderstood."
"It's not a felony, why?" The sarcasm at the corner of the old man's mouth became stronger.
Zhang Yi was stunned, he didn't know how to answer this question for a while.
The old man laughed again, "He said he didn't commit a felony."
Zhang Yi thought for a while and said, "I offended a big man."
The old man looked at him contemptuously, and said: "You are a practitioner, but you just offended a big man, so you dare not stay in Changling, and you are too cowardly."
"I'm not afraid of that big man." Thinking of what she and her "little brother" did in the Minshan Sword Club, Zhang Yi's face shone with some rare pride, "It's just my choice, It can make life better for the people I care about."
"Sacrificing yourself to help others sounds great." The old man looked at Zhang Yi meaningfully and said, "Have you ever thought about yourself?"
Zhang Yi nodded seriously, and looked into the depths of Yandi in the distance: "I want to become stronger... Only when I become strong enough can I protect others."
The old man smiled.
Zhang Yi was looking into the distance, and didn't see that his face was very gentle at this time, which was completely different from usual.
"I'm sleepy, help me get warm water to wash my feet."
As usual, he said to Zhang Yi instructing him.
Zhang Yi stood up and brought warm water without thinking too much.
When he returned with a basin of hot water, he froze there.
There was no sign of the old man in his sight.
Only at the place where the old man was sitting, there were traces of burnt charcoal, and three words were written crookedly, "I'm leaving."
When Zhang Yi's eager cry sounded, the old man walked lightly through the wilderness wrapped in the night.
His body seemed to be surrounded by a unique energy all the time, making his body float over the long grass tips like a gust of wind.
The wrinkles on his face remained the same, but the feeling of weakness and old age was slowly repelled by a powerful bearing, and finally completely disappeared on him.
Under an old dead tree, there was a fiery red burning like a flame.
It was only when the distance was close that it became clear that it was a fiery red crane.
When the old man approached the fiery red crane, the crane spread its wings and flew up.
The old man seemed to just sit forward and then sat on the crane's back.
Then the crane swept up silently and disappeared into the flowing clouds in the night sky above.
"I can see that you are a very good person, but in today's world, good people may not be rewarded with good rewards."
Luo Zhongjing, the leader of the caravan, walked up to Zhang Yi who had searched the vicinity for a long time but finally found nothing. Looking at his disappointed and extremely worried face, he didn't say anything else, but said this seriously.
Zhang Yi understood what the leader of the caravan meant, and also knew that the other party had good intentions.
But he still shook his head and said softly: "If everyone thinks this way, there will only be evil and no good."
Luo Zhongjing sighed and said nothing more.
From the incomprehension at the beginning to the helplessness at this time, the little things that this humble young practitioner showed along the way and the meticulous care of the old man in Yandi, who repaid his grievances with kindness, have made them feel something invisible Is a real gentleman.
Just a true gentleman, can he really survive in this world of the jungle
At this time, Zhang Yi was worried about the lost old man, but he was worried about what would happen to this young practitioner who had impressed them with his character after he arrived in Dayan.
…
Ding Ning frowned and sat at the table.
The jade talisman representing Gushan Jianzang lay quietly on the table in front of him.
Some lines hovering in his mind perfectly filled the largest missing corner of this piece of jade talisman, and perfectly connected with the lines on this piece of jade talisman.
The Gushan Jiancang that Bai Shanshui saw was not as complete as him.
It's just that when the mind wanders among these almost complete lines, the more clearly it is perceived, the more Ding Ning feels that his inference to Changsun Qianxue is correct.
When the power above the eight realms spread out according to these routes, and the powerful vitality of heaven and earth rushed between the heaven and earth in Changling, what kind of result would it produce
Ding Ning faintly felt as if he had grasped the thread that could lead to the real answer, but it was as if there was a last layer of veil, and he couldn't really touch it.
Some chaos.
There is the sound of silk and bamboo in the distance.
Listening to the faint sound of singing and laughing from the restaurant in the distance, Ding Ning understood that it was his heart that was disturbed.
"can not be like this."
He frowned and scolded himself in a low voice.
Then his face began to return to its usual calm.
Since you can't think of a way out of chaos, you can only follow the steps.
The maid named Rong has always been Zheng Xiu's minion, and there are many new and old accounts to settle.
The horseman who used to drive the carriage, now General Liang Lian Liang will stay away from Changling.
That being the case...then kill the maid named Rong first.
In fact, step by step is often the easiest way to calm people down.
He put the jade talisman on the table close to him, walked out of the inner courtyard, then walked out of the gate of the ink garden, until he walked up to Shao Muran who was sitting cross-legged on the mat under the tree, bowed seriously, and said: "I think To kill the palace lady."
Hearing such a sentence suddenly, Shao Killer's face did not change at all, he just raised his head slightly to look at Ding Ning, and said indifferently: "The Queen will not give you a chance to kill her publicly, but if you kill her secretly, you will kill her. "
"Then everyone will think that Minshan Sword Sect helped me kill her." Ding Ning shook his head and said, "I will kill her openly as a disciple of Baiyang Cave."
Shao Renmin is the most murderous practitioner of the Minshan Sword Sect. His ability to kill contains many layers of meaning. He has clearly and simply stated a certain meaning in the previous sentence, but at this moment he did not directly refute Ding Ning, but pondered After waiting for a while, he said: "The empress does not give you the chance to challenge her publicly or kill her, but you can force her to bear it."
"I want to know what she can't stand."
Ding Ning saluted Shao Murder again.
He knew that Shao Killer might not be able to find out, but the Minshan Sword Sect must be able to find a way.
