Chapter 6 Chapter Five: The Cloud Opens, the Moon Brightens and the Phoenix Returns to its Nest

This is the third day of the Hell Gate Retreat Ceremony. Before everyone could react, they heard the holy master of the inner world shake the sealed hole from inside, and shouted in distress: "Xiao Ming...Xiao Ming..." Shui Yunhan and the other two hall masters, Feng Zixuan and Lei Nuoran, stood up in shock and looked at Fei Xiyan who was still crying. Before Shui Yunhan asked anything, Feng Zixuan opened his mouth and said, "What's wrong with the sect master?" "Xiao Ming...he has lost his temper, and he has already reached bliss first..." As soon as this remark came out, all four people were shocked, but Shui Yunhan immediately came to his senses, turned around first and took the master order to go out, and shouted to the disciples who still didn't know the situation: "The rest of you obey the order, go back to the door to deal with your own affairs first, anyone The situation is not allowed to be disclosed to the outside world, and anyone who violates it will be punished without mercy!"

With a wink to let Feng Zixuan stabilize Fei Xiyan's mood, he immediately ordered Lei Nuoran to go to the gate of the former mountain and be responsible for controlling the mouths of the gatekeepers and subordinates. If there are really random suspicions and wanton rumors, they must be killed. . When only he, Feng Zixuan and Fei Xiyan were left outside the cave, he let out a long breath and asked, "Tell me, what happened?" "The two of us have been in the cave for the past two days, there is no difference, but today, when Xiao Ming sat down in the formation, there suddenly appeared the sky silk of Hall Master Mu Changxue. Xiao Ming's 'Meditation of the Heart' is something that restrains each other, and under the cold and cold, he... he just..."

Shui Yunhan flicked his hem, and was about to go in to check, but was stopped by Fei Xiyan. She shook her head and said, "It's not that I don't allow you to go in, but that the flame cave is not fully prepared, and if you go in, you can't stand the flames, and you will die without a place to bury you." "Even so, I can't let the head of the sect alone, there must be a conclusion whether it is life or death." Shui Yunhan didn't wait to be obstructed, he insisted on desperately entering to see what happened. Feng Zixuan suddenly stood in front of him, with the fan in his hand pressed against Shui Yunhan's chest, his usual playful face turned cold, "You have always been brothers and sisters with the head of the sect, but you can't lose your life in vain. Just now you calm down Where is it?"

Shui Yunhan shuddered slightly, only to hear Feng Zixuan continue to say: "For the position of acting sect master, there is only one other person who can enter besides the holy master." "Who?" Fei Xiyan's voice suddenly rose. And Shui Yunhan shook his head violently, "No, she is seriously injured, how can I take this risk." "Holy Master is already like this, do you want her to suffer a second time? There is no other way but her. You can do it, you can do it if you don't." Feng Zixuan moved closer to Shui Yunhan's ear, his voice was even colder, "I know you love her deeply, but you can't be soft-hearted this time. Right now you are the acting sect master, not Shui Yunhan."

Shui Yunhan's unparalleled handsome face finally loosened, and his loosened hand clenched his fist instantly, and he said through gritted teeth, "I'll go pick her up." Su Xiu seems to have had a dream for a long time. In the dream, her father and emperor are alive and the dynasty is still alive. But after a while, the flames of war raged again. The young Emperor Feng led thousands of troops and marched northward.On that day, it was the Qingli year of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and she was playing with her fifth younger brother in the palace holding a little rabbit, and when she left, she didn't even bring her favorite little rabbit with her.

After a while, there was ups and downs in the water again, whether life or death could not be determined, and I was so tired that I only remembered that the big boat behind me had been burnt to ashes, and the family had died and there were no descendants of the Great Yuan, so I simply thought, let’s go, let’s go together... She let go of those persistent hands, but was strangled by fate, leaving her to struggle with the world alone. For a while, she was still walking hand in hand with Xiao Ming in the mountains, all the flowers were in full bloom, thousands of trees were shaking, the nose was full of fragrance, and the laughter was sweet.Under the tree, he kissed her, said to love her, to pity her for the rest of his life, maybe this is her ultimate pursuit, and if she really persisted until the end, she finally had a good dream.

A gentle call came from my ear, "Xiaoer, wake up." Three thousand prosperity and three thousand dreams, three thousand ambitions and three thousand heavy wishes, don't ask about the three prajnas of life and death, Huang Liang's dream is always empty when he wakes up. Opening his eyes, he stared fixedly at Shui Yunhan in front of him. His face was miserable, but he held himself firmly in his arms. For some reason, he just smiled weakly, "Brother Yunhan, I have done a long job. a dream..." "Woke up from the dream, seeing me, do you feel better?" Hearing the word "big brother", Shui Yunhan smiled wryly.

"Yeah." Su Xiu looked at Shui Yunhan and turned around to hug herself out, raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked, "No... I remembered, the retreat ceremony..." She shook her head, always feeling that something was wrong. Shui Yunhan ignored the surprised gazes of others all the way, and quickly moved towards the peak of the Flaming Cave. He didn't slow down until he got close to it. Looking at himself, suddenly the skirt of his chest was tightly grasped. She asked tremblingly: "If it's okay, I'm the one who spread the rumors and shouldn't be released; if there's something...then..."

She turned her head and moved to Shui Yunhan, her eyes without ripples in the autumn water were rippling, and her mood turned bitter, her throat tightened, and she spit out a mouthful of blood, which was so bright red that it dazzled the eye.Before his eyes, he was about to faint, shouting: "Master...Master..." "Xiaoer, hold on." Shui Yunhan grabbed her hand and gave her some real strength, prompting her to regain consciousness again, "Right now only you can enter that flame hole and find out who the door master is..." Life and death Before the words came out, Su Xiu’s eyes were blurred again, knowing that it was the end of his grief, he hurriedly changed the subject, spent his strength, and asked while rushing to the flame hole: “If you don’t want to go in, can I go in?” Never force it, but now the Holy Master is at the end of his strength and can no longer be confirmed, and people like me who have never soaked in the cold spring in the early stage cannot step into the flame hole at all."

Why is she more emotional than herself? Could it be that she... Shui Yunhan abandoned the most likely one in his thoughts, and forced himself to return to the facts before him. "I'll go, I'll definitely go in..." Su Xiu slowly raised her hand to wipe away the remaining blood on the corner of her lips, and said with a smile, "I'm fine, thank you Brother Yunhan..." She struggled, let Shui Yunhan put herself down, and walked towards the flame hole step by step. The grief in her heart became more and more painful, if Xiao Ming went, what would she worry about?Shui Yunhan tried to support her a few times, but was pushed away by Su Xiu. She said with a pale face but a smile: "If you still want to support me, Brother Yunhan, what should I do if I enter the flame hole?"

Shui Yunhan sighed, "If you can't hold on, you must come out." "Well, don't worry." Walking to the entrance of the cave, Fei Xiyan was lying in Feng Zixuan's arms, who was still crying. His eyes met, and Su Xiu seemed to be able to see the deepest coolness in the tearful eyes, and said coldly, "Holy Lord, why are you crying?" ?” Fei Xiyan was taken aback for a moment, her eyes shrank, but before she could answer, her thin back fell into the hole. Shui Yunhan suddenly realized that the woman he was thinking of was like a moth to a flame at this moment, just like the last struggle before death, extremely sad. He paused, couldn't bear to look any further, turned back to look at the tallest building on the top of the cliff, the Hell Gate Library Pavilion, on the top of the pavilion there is a place where Yan Luo Judge and all the ghosts of hell are enshrined. Suddenly regretted, the water luck was cold, so she shouldn't be sent in. As soon as he entered, he felt the heat wave hit the sky, Su Xiu hadn't had a drop of water in the past few days, and he hadn't eaten a single grain of rice, and now he insisted on relying on his perseverance to find Xiao Ming. Licking her dry lips, she loosened her bones, feeling that the flames didn't deter her much, so she leaned on the wall to explore the way in. I was so scared, so afraid to see the scene that I didn't dare to see, but what the truth was, it was only a few steps away.The flame hole is not that big, and you can see all around the hole wall with your eyes. Under your feet is a huge formation symbol drawn by the ancestors. As soon as you land, the flames suddenly ignite. I searched and searched, and finally saw the corner of a black robe in the center, terrified, gritted my teeth and stomped my feet, and flew across the air with all my strength, landing beside Xiao Ming. I don't feel tears falling like rain. He was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, making no sound. Su Xiu yelled softly: "Master..." Then he knelt down beside him, touching his breath with a trembling hand, his whole heart was hanging in his throat, and he held on to his body for so long Already sailing with belly water, a wrecked boat in the turbulent waves, at the moment of confirmation, was finally hit to the bottom by the big waves, and fell on Xiao Ming's body. This life is to make you the goal of existence, I want to be with you, I want to be looked at with green eyes.After persisting for so many years, there was finally a turning point, but it was suddenly stopped at this moment. Who can live? Crying to the point of breaking her intestines, Su Xiu felt a little confused, she said softly, "Master...you wait for me..." Wherever it is under the 18th floor of hell, Su Xiu will also go. She didn't understand why this wish was born, as if at this moment, nothing was important anymore. It turned out that in just a few short years, her love was deeply rooted. It turned out that Xiao Ming held such an important position in her heart, and she was heartbroken when he went. She has nothing... nothing... she kept repeating these words in her heart, and smashed her sky cap with one hand. Suddenly, I felt a tingling pain in my wrist, and my mouth was covered, and I hugged someone into the arms, and rolled to the edge of the cave. The warmth behind her was still there, and her body was painfully strangled, but she wept with joy, and the two lines of tears could not stop falling down. He, he is still alive...not only alive, but also more powerful than before. Crying and crying, I was a little out of breath, and my physical strength was exhausted for a while, and I almost fainted.At this time, Xiao Ming finally let go of her hand, leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Be quiet, listen to me." Su Xiu nodded, but she was a little weak because her body was buried in Xiao Ming's arms, and she couldn't breathe for a long time. Xiao Ming simply turned her face away, making the two of them look at each other, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and asked: "What? Are you going to die for love?" Immediately, Su Xiu's glamorous and moving face was flushed slightly, and she didn't know how to answer, her lips pursed, but she still hid the innumerable traces of tenderness. Knowing who he has in mind, to be a swindler is to abuse oneself, so why bother with that boring thing. Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiao Ming didn't ask any more questions, but hugged her tightly, almost feeling like rubbing into her own flesh and blood, until she let out a soft cry in pain, and then slowly let go. "When you go out in a while, you will say that I am dead and there is no bone left." He took off his robe and threw it into the flames, and it burned up immediately, leaving only a few ashes. Su Xiu blinked, but still asked curiously: "Master, are you really okay?" Xiao Ming nodded, but still couldn't hold back the enthusiasm in his heart, maybe it was the wild fire that burned him a little differently from the past, this Su Xiu was so beautiful, but now his soft and boneless body is lying in his arms and is so cute, that The act of living together and dying together made him look at the woman who was tortured by this incident and was quite haggard and messy, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he pressed those lips and kissed himself. Su Xiu groaned, his mind was confused, but his complexion became more and more red. Gao Ming said: "After the retreat ceremony, the Nine Heavens Gate will not fail to move, so I have already hidden my back. You have always done a good job." Rubbing her hair, Xiao Ming continued: "Just take these ashes and go out. Then..." He clung to her ear, talking about his plan in detail. Originally, he planned to hide in the dark and get rid of all the secrets in the gate of hell, but now that Su Xiu is around, it's no big deal. Shui Yunhan, Feng Zixuan, and Fei Xiyan still guarded outside the cave. They were still waiting for Su Xiu to enter the cave, time passed little by little, Shui Yunhan couldn't wait anymore, when he wanted to enter by himself, he heard a low cry. Everyone raised their hearts in their throats, but as soon as they let go, they raised them again. Holding a handful of ashes, Su Xiu stumbled out. At the entrance of the cave, she fell forward because of her weakness. Fortunately, Shui Yunhan stepped forward to support her in time, so she didn't fall to the ground. Her eyes were red, her voice was hoarse, and she shrank into a ball trembling, "Master... the master has... no bones..." Feng Zixuan took the ashes in her hand, and she and Fei Xiyan looked at each other, but couldn't lift it up in one breath, and passed out. To be honest, it's a little difficult for her to act like Fei Xiyan. After all, she just came out of Dingyu Tower, and it's the best result to faint now, at least she doesn't have to face the many things that will happen next. Hearing Fei Xiyan's cry of pain was heart-piercing. She thought to herself, this scene still needs to be performed with the Holy Master, it's really hard work. After sleeping till night, Yang Meier came to visit her, it was getting late at the moment, that clever girl brought her some food, presumably she was hungry enough, Su Xiu didn't refuse, she ate clean without image. Yang Meier brushed her hair distressedly at the side, and said softly: "Earlier I heard that you were locked up in Dingyu Tower, I begged Brother Feng several times to let me go in and have a look at you, but he didn't allow me, now you It’s really a good thing to be able to come out alive.” Seeing that she was obviously thinner, and she was really caring about herself, Su Xiu felt warm, went up to hug her, and said, "I'm fine, don't worry about me. But inside the door...how is it now..." Naturally, there was a reason for her questioning. Xiao Ming pretended to die, and what happened next was what he wanted to see. "It's very messy now." Yang Mei'er bit her lip, frowned and packed up the delicate five-petal flower-shaped food box, and responded, "To tell you the truth, I just want you to get well soon and leave the gate of hell as soon as possible." "what?" "The acting sect master Shui Yunhan and the holy master Fei Xiyan are currently divided into two factions, but the holy master has the hell order from the former sect master, so he is more powerful. I am afraid that if she takes action against you, Shui Yunhan will not be able to protect you." Su Xiu naturally knew that Fei Xiyan was still resting now, and when her strength recovered, she might really not let herself go.It's just that she is not too worried at the moment, after all, Xiao Ming is not really dead. "What about Ruan Qi?" She asked for a reason, this person is the one who stole Mu Changxuetian's silk, so he shouldn't be on Brother Yunhan's side. "Him? He is very strange. In principle, he should help Shui Yunhan, but in the end he united a group of deputy gang leaders, saying that Wang Shengzhu is the son of the sect master. After all, she is the biological daughter of the former sect master." Yang Meier I was so puzzled, so I frowned. really. Su put her chin on her sleeve and fell into deep thought. "Forget it, I'll go and steal some elder brother's elixir in the next two days to restore your vitality earlier, and then send you away quickly." Yang Meier seemed to have made up her mind, lifted the food box and said goodbye to Su Xiu, and left Her humble room. Su Xiu didn't come back to his senses for a while. Disputes between the rivers and lakes are common sense, but if the sect's secret work is truly eradicated, the gate of hell will also be severely damaged.And the martial arts conference is imminent. If Hell Gate does not take action, and the famous and decent sects unite to clean up again, it may be hard to stop. She always felt like she was ignoring something. Suddenly, she said softly "Ah", Mutang Mu Changxue and Tutang Yanliang hadn't appeared for a long time.This time it was all Mu Changxue's silk that played a vital role, so is Mu Changxue right or wrong, true or false?Did he disappear for no reason or deliberately hide his news? But these are not what she can solve.Su Xiu slowly turned his eyes away and cast them out of the window. Evening sunset, infinitely poignant.There are thousands of miles of sunset glow and clouds of smoke. Feeling so sad, she simply stopped thinking about it and covered herself in a thick quilt. In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard a slight knock on the door. Su Xiu became vigilant, opened her eyes slightly, and as expected, she saw a tall figure standing beside her bed, under the moonlight, the reflection covered the whole room. She opened her mouth, and was about to scream, but felt that the breath was not right, it was obviously the person she was very familiar with. Standing up suddenly, covering himself for fear that Chunhua would leak out, he whispered nervously, "Sect Master! Why are you here!" Right now she was only wearing a body covering, and her lower body was just a pair of light silk shorts, which was almost naked. She blushed with embarrassment, and suddenly felt a chill all over her body, and the quilt was thrown away. what!Just as she was about to speak, she saw Xiao Ming lying down beside her, and instantly petrified. Xiao Ming didn't do anything, and took advantage of the moonlight to look at the beautiful scenery that filled the room.She is worthy of her status as the eldest princess of the former dynasty, without any flaws from head to toe.Although she was so blatant, she didn't scream or run away in a panic, but under her eyes, she was so nervous that every inch of her skin turned red, which was white, tender and clean, which made people think about it. Her delicate face was drooping, her long hair concealing her emotions. Suddenly, his heart surged, he straightened his upper body, stroked gently into the soft long hair, slid it down little by little, and slid it onto his bare shoulders. She trembled all over, but her whole body was limp, her breathing was short of breath, and she didn't know what to do. Locking his body-covering belly with one hand, he was suddenly pressed on the bed, looking directly at the man overlooking him, that terrifying half of his disfigured face was released in front of him at this moment. His eyes were slightly focused, and through those black pupils, he seemed to be able to hear the most painful corner of his heart, and the noise was everywhere. Su Xiu trembled all over, afraid that he would see the Xuantian gossip hidden in his belly, frightened his body stiff, blushed and said: "Master!" "Huh?" Xiao Ming answered her absent-mindedly. Su Xiu covered his body with his hands, looking overly frightened, "Do not look at evil!" Xiao Ming's eyes sank, "You are becoming more and more courageous." For Xiao Ming, to be his maidservant, one must be prepared by Cheng Huan. If Su Xiu's identity had not been found out in those years, he would not have been polite and kept her innocent until now. Now that I came here, I just suddenly remembered all kinds of behaviors of this woman in the flame cave, and I don't want to give in elsewhere, so I might as well come here to smell the fragrance. Xiao Ming also couldn't figure out what kind of attitude she had towards Su Xiu, she couldn't get used to it, couldn't pamper her, and couldn't fall down, knowing that Shui Yunhan loved her, but wanted to touch her.Such contradictory psychology made him know that he would be sorry for Shui Yunhan, but he couldn't stop. Su sleeves pressed against Xiao Ming's chest, and he got closer and closer. Breath hit her face, her mind buzzed, and she lost her mind. "Die under the peony flower..." She murmured something that only she could hear. Seeing her talking vaguely, Gao Ming said, "Huh?" Su Xiu covered her face, not daring to look at him, took a light breath, heard the sound of him gradually taking off his coat, and threw it on the ground.Finally, he took his hand away reluctantly, and the other party was already naked from the upper body, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, very attractive. Xiao Ming slowly bent down, kissing from the earlobe to the neck. Breathing together, the numbness was unbearable, she closed her eyes and snorted softly, but tightly grabbed her belly, holding on to the last bottom line, not daring to let go. Thinking she was scared, Xiao Ming was not in a hurry.Those rough lips, from top to bottom, inch by inch, from her shoulders, kisses to chest, tasted carefully at the place where the lovesickness red beans covered with silk cloth made her grit her silver teeth and dare not let her go. Cooing out.When the kiss reached the lower abdomen, Su's sleeves shook unbearably, under the moonlight, it was beautiful. She thought to herself, if she could become his man tonight, she would die immediately, and it would be worth a thousand years.Su Xiu frowned nervously, and continued in a low voice: "Stop, stop... Sect Master..." Xiao Ming became displeased, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why, do you have a sweetheart? Are you talking to someone in the flame cave?" I'm acting?" Su Xiu choked, how dare she say that as long as she takes off her thin shirt, her biggest trump card will be revealed to the world, it's not that she doesn't trust Xiao Ming, it's just that this is her only reliance, how can she Neither wants to be emotionally flattering.Gradually pouted in aggrieved manner, showing an expression of hesitation. Seeing this expression in Xiao Ming's eyes, it was another matter of calculation.He snorted coldly, turned over and fell asleep alone. That's fine too. It was sweet to her heart to learn that it was nothing more than that, but she still breathed a sigh of relief and let go of her heart.Secretly let go of the hand that locked the clothes on his upper body, and around his neck hung Xuantian gossip about life and death. Fortunately... no one was found. In the past five days, every night, Xiao Ming would come to her room to sleep, and every morning, he would leave without anyone noticing. Fortunately, he lost his mind a little in the first night, but there was no follow-up in the other few days. He threw a flowery Su sleeve by his side and never mentioned the right and wrong of that day.When he is free, he will hold her in his arms and say a few words of his own, but when he is tired, he will fall asleep without saying a word. Su Xiu's body recovered very quickly, probably because of his good mood.During the day, she doesn't wander around, so as not to be caught by Fei Xiyan and cause trouble. At night, she still wants to ask about the current progress, but she is afraid of overstepping her status, and it is very uncomfortable to hold herself back. . Until the night of the sixth day, as usual, Xiao Ming came quietly in the dead of night. Su Xiu was leaning on the bed and reading a book, when she saw him coming, she moved in. Suddenly felt a little funny, when the two of them seemed to be having an affair, the corners of their lips curled up into a fascinating smile as they read like this. Holding her in her arms, Xiao Ming casually copied the book she was reading, saw that it was a small order written by a former scholar, and asked, "Aren't you illiterate?" "The servant girl is bored waiting, so be arty." She didn't hide it, and put the book under the pillow.These days, he was dressed neatly, fearing that he would be found guilty of seducing the sect master in the future. It was indeed a bit late at this time, after midnight, after all, Xiao Ming could only rest for two hours every night, and had to leave at five o'clock. She yawned, lying in Xiao Ming's arms was extremely comfortable, it really made people fall asleep, but she still thought about getting up and taking a few pieces of snacks from the day from the small table and brought them over. A cup of slightly hot green tea and a plate of Xiao Ming's favorite snacks. He frowned slightly, as if no matter when, only this soft woman in front of him never changed.He picked up a piece of sweet cake and put it in his mouth, and said softly, "It's almost over." In the past few days, Fei Xiyan has been working hard to gather power. Although Shui Yunhan has the ability to gather disciples, after all, he lost the opponent in terms of arrogance.Relying on the supreme magic power, he checked day and night, and pulled those guys out of the water one by one. With Fei Xiyan as the leader, Ruan Qi, the deputy head of the Water Hall, and Jing Xifeng, the deputy head of the Jin Hall, as his assistants, Binhai, Nancheng, and Su Yang are currently under the control of these people, causing trouble. The inside ghost makes a big joke. Xiao Ming caressed Su Xiu's long hair, he carefully sorted out his thoughts, and when he thought of Fei Xiyan, he felt angry, and the hand that was stroking the round shoulder suddenly tightened, causing Su Xiu to let out a low sound. call. Looking up at the many emotions hidden in Xiao Ming's eyes, she also knew that he must have thought of Fei Xiyan, that childhood sweetheart who was loved but betrayed him fiercely, so she sighed and comforted her , "Don't be sad, it's not the end of fate, maybe it's the time of origin." As soon as he finished speaking, his heart ached a little, and he frowned, and his tears became more bitter.What is the fate of Su Xiu, to be so useless. After all, it is impossible for Xiao Ming to be hurt by the so-called passing water for too long. A woman who betrayed her will never forgive her no matter how much she loves and pities her.Patting Su Xiu on the back, he looked around, except for a bed, a table and a dilapidated cabinet in this room, it can be said that there is nothing long in the body. He let her go and stood up, and there were also two simple clothes in the cabinet. Su Xiu was startled, got out of bed and followed, thinking he was looking for something, stammeringly said: "Master, there is really no Xuantian gossip... I will definitely offer the picture with both hands after I think it over... " Xuantian gossip?It was only then that Xiao Ming realized a very important issue. Apart from being her loyal maidservant, the woman in front of her was also the eldest princess of the former Great Yuan, holding the most disturbing secret in the world for Emperor Feng.And after going through this series of things, she was actually willing to share that picture with herself, and her mood improved. Turning around, he held her in his arms and asked softly, "What do you want?" what do you want?This is the second time that Xiao Ming asked herself, but Su Xiu couldn't tell what she really wanted.In other words, even Xiao Ming would not believe that the woman in front of her was only thinking of herself.Originally, the heart was already close, but after touching another matter, they suddenly separated. After all, he always treats himself well, he just wants that picture. What she wanted, he couldn't give.What he wants, she can give at any time. This is the difference between the two of them.Even in this one-sided relationship, she still has to retain a bit of her own dignity.Let her no longer be passive, and let him feel the dignity of her existence. Seeing that the originally soft temper suddenly became stubborn, Xiao Ming probably understood that she was making a little awkwardness.I had no choice but to take out the trump card, licked and licked her ear, kissed and kissed again, only to tease her so that she lost her mind and her whole body became limp, before she made a decision, "I will give you everything you want in the future. " Really can?Su Xiu floated in all the dreams he gave him, and felt that her heart was like a boat floating in the water, with no direction, she just grabbed Xiao Ming's clothes, and was about to cry, when suddenly she held Xiao Ming lightly. The skirt of the shirt, and said tenderly: "I don't want anything for the sleeves." Suddenly he stopped, kissed her lips again, and said: "Rest. Tomorrow will end all of this. I will let you be a bride, no longer my maidservant, and enjoy the highest treatment in the family." , no less than Xiyan." Su Xiu's heart skipped a beat, and she raised her eyes to look at Xiao Ming in disbelief. really?is this real?Didn't Xiao Ming lie to herself as she said?But she saw that Xiao Ming's brows were slightly frowned, which was a sign of a bad mood, and she didn't feel the mood that flew up to the treetops sank again. He's probably just kidding himself, after all, he didn't really want to marry him. Who dares to want the remnants of the previous dynasty... "If it is forced, there is no need for this." Su Xiu said softly. "I don't think I can force you to do what you want." Xiao Ming rubbed her hair, left a word, and disappeared into the night.The Xuanyi blended into the night, while Su Xiu was propped against the window, dazed. She...was dreaming? Before Yinshi, the morning bell rang suddenly inside the Hell Gate, and it came from the square outside Qingyan Pavilion. Unexpectedly, Fei Xiyan was so impatient and started calling the disciples so quickly.Su tightened his sleeves and washed himself clean, then followed the crowd towards Qingyan Pavilion. Suddenly his arm was gently grabbed, and when he looked back, it was the unchanging wind and clouds, which were particularly dazzling under the sunlight. "Brother Yunhan!" She felt a little relieved, and felt that no matter what happened for a while, Shui Yunhan was by her side anyway. "I haven't been able to see you these days. It's finally good. Actually, you don't need to go to this conference." Shui Yunhan said apologetically, he could still remember Su Xiu's pain when he heard about Xiao Ming's death. Afraid that something would irritate her. Su Xiu hurriedly shook her head, if it wasn't for the cold weather these years, how could she live so peacefully; if it wasn't for him to take care of him in Dingyulou last time, how could she persist in living? It was all because of him, how could she blame him for not going to see Own. In the past few days, she knew how stressful and busy he was as the acting sect master. She even told Xiao Ming that he came to rest in his room at night. Thinking of Xiao Ming, she still felt a little hot. Seeing that her mood seemed to improve, Shui Yunhan also heaved a sigh of relief, and the two walked towards Qingyan Pavilion. Fei Xiyan must have had the greatest help in calling the disciples so early, and Shui Yunhan wondered what gave him such confidence. Slightly frowning, with his blue shirt flowing, this man who is the least attractive in the gate of hell has attracted the attention of many women because of his sad face that suddenly appeared.Presumably, if the disciples had to make a choice, these women would stand decisively behind Shui Yunhan. There are already many people gathered in the square, three floors inside and three floors outside, Fei Xiyan is standing upstairs in a white shirt, overlooking the field. Shui Yunhan, Feng Zixuan, and Lei Nuoran arrived after hearing the news, and she slowly opened her mouth, "Before my father died, he passed on his position to his adopted son Xiao Ming because he took pity on me when I was young and didn't want to be a senior member of the family. " All the disciples in the arena were whispering, not knowing what happened to Fei Xiyan. Ruan Qi lived on his right, and when his eyes flicked across the field, he froze slightly on Shui Yunhan's face, but he didn't dare to look at those suddenly cold eyes again, and looked away. "Now, because of the silkworm silk used by Mu Changxue in the flame cave, Xiao Ming's mind is overwhelmed by coldness and coldness. The cultivation skills are not continued, and there is no bones left. This is the most painful time for the gate of hell." The voice sank, and trembled slightly when the words "there are no bones left", seemed to be overly sad. The maids on both sides stepped forward to support Fei Xiyan, who was crumbling, and then she continued to speak loudly: "Although Xiao Ming walked forward, the door The matter is entrusted to Shui Yunhan, the master of Shuitang, but he is not the official sect master, so I will follow my father's last wish and re-select the new sect master of Hell Gate." Choose again?instead of yourself?Su Xiu and Shui Yunhan looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd. She slowly took out a yellowed scroll from her bosom, and said passionately, "Why has Hall Master Mu Chang Xuemu been hiding all these years? Don't you want to know the reason at all?" Everyone was in an uproar. To be honest, the five hall masters of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, including door master Xiao Ming, were all single-handedly selected by Fei Xiyan's father.And Mutang Mu Changxue has disappeared as if out of thin air since his death, without a trace, Xiao Ming is grateful, and keeps Mu Changxue until today. However, Fei Xiyan's words made everyone at a loss. Could it be that there is something secret about the position of the master of the gate of hell? "I was able to find this thing in his room because of Xiao Ming's accidental death. My father's original intention was to pass on the position of sect master to his personal disciple Mu Changxue, not to his adopted son Xiao Ming. Changxue has saved my father's life." Her voice dropped, but soon became high again, talking freely, "However, after Xiao Ming knew about this, she secretly dealt with Mu Changxue and forced him to leave the gate of hell. As my father was dying, he could only entrust the affairs of the family to Xiao Ming." "Bastard!" As soon as the words finished, before Shui Yunhan said anything, it was Feng Zixuan who attacked first. He is suave and suave, with a cynical temperament. He is unrivaled in the gate of hell. Su Xiu feels that he is not a close friend when he gets along with him. I am afraid that he is untrustworthy. Flirty. However, when this person put away the playfulness between his brows and turned serious, Su Xiu was a little surprised. He stood in the middle of the field and said loudly: "Now I, Feng Zixuan, still respect you as a holy master, but now the body of the sect master is not cold, but you are here to fabricate arrangements." "Feng Zixuan, you know that what I said is not fabricated at all!" Fei Xiyan stomped her feet and gritted her teeth. Feng Zixuan laughed wildly and shook his folding fan lightly. This wanton behavior really surprised Fei Xiyan.She had thought that after saying these words, not to mention that five percent of the people would be shaken, at least thirty percent of the people would fall to her side, and among the hall masters, the most difficult one to deal with was Shui Yunhan, but his temperament has always been Gentleness, when the matter is finalized, it is beyond his control. Both Lei Nuoran and Shui Yunhan were unexpected, the person who will show off his power today will be Feng Zixuan. He asked bluntly: "I just want to ask you one question, why does the gate of hell have such prestige?" Because of Gao Ming. His actions are ruthless, decisive, and not merciless, which makes the gate of hell today occupy such an important place in the arena. "If you want to destroy the prestige of the sect master just by turning over this old account, it's really bad." Although Xiao Ming is not here at the moment, his prestige still exists. Fei Xiyan asked coldly: "Then what do you do? My father left the gate of hell, if you follow Xiao Ming, you can leave here and open up another world." "Then let me listen to your next words, Holy Master." Feng Zixuan kept the fan in his palm, but he was relaxed and relaxed. "I left Hell Gate earlier to find Mu Changxue's whereabouts. In a month or so, he will return to Hell Gate and take over the position of Sect Master!" The conversation changed, Fei Xiyan mercilessly said, "As for If you still want to transport the Master of Hanshui with the water, you can find your own way out. The gate of hell is left by my father after all, and I should fulfill his unfulfilled wish." A stone stirs up a thousand waves. Shui Yunhan smiled wryly. Today he didn't say a word, but he was treated clearly. He let out a long sigh, and his body fell on the Yudai Bridge in the middle of the square like the wind blowing snow, "Since the Holy Master has made it clear, I will do everything I can. If there is any action in it, it is unacceptable." For a while, the square was extremely quiet. I don't know who said: "I think it's better to follow Master Shui." There was a commotion in the square, and the Yudai Bridge divided all the disciples into two factions like a clear boundary. Naturally, it was impossible for Su Xiu to follow Fei Xiyan, she followed Shui Yunhan first. At this time, there was a sudden scream from the outside, and the blood suddenly rose, and someone shouted: "It's from the Jiutianmen!" The Yudai Bridge followed the people from Shui Yunhan's side, and was surrounded by a group of people in white clothes. These people were wearing the clothes of the Jiutianmen. Shui Yunhan's gaze was like a torch, and he shot at Fei Xiyan upstairs, "It turns out that you have planned this long ago." Su Xiu was wondering when Xiao Ming would show up. The whole square is undergoing frequent changes, which makes people a little unprepared.And the third wave of great changes will come naturally. Apart from the members of the Jiutianmen, a group of skilled fighters suddenly sprang up from the ground. They raised their knives in their hands, and all of them were ruthless, beheading the men in white who were caught off guard by the knives one after another. Su Xiu covered her eyes and couldn't bear to look, but she heard Shui Yunhan murmured something, obviously very surprised, "Tudang... Yanliang?" 金木水火土五堂，除却木堂木长雪没有在大典前赶回，土堂堂主言凉也一直未曾出现，原来他一直藏于暗处，受萧茗调遣，便是在这一刻，起到至关重要的作用。 整个广场之上，随了绯夕烟那派的人，又被后来赶上的土堂门众及言凉控制在圈内。 情势逆转直上，绯夕烟还未有所反应，萧茗便若地狱来者般从后方出现，一掌勒住她的脖子，低声说：“不好意思，我从地狱回来了。” how come!云连邀的这番连环计，居然会输！ 绯夕烟不敢置信，看着广场之中一面倒的局势，脚下一软，跌坐在地。 萧茗若再世天神一般，掐着绯夕烟的脖子，站在阁楼之上，俯瞰着楼下的门众。 谁也没能想到，萧茗居然活着回来了。 就连水运寒这般亲近的人也未曾料到，萧茗会将计就计，彻底拔除地狱门中的不安分子。 苏袖抿唇笑了，她的门主，终于是拿回这一城，自己也再无后顾之忧，相当爽利。而就在她情不自禁地乐出声的时候，整个广场，再度爆发，身周的人们豁然都跪下，大声喊着：“恭迎门主！恭迎门主！” 随着人潮，她也跪了下来，瞧着水运寒及风子轩一众忠心堂主心领神会地翩然起身，飞至倾烟阁二楼听候差遣。 萧茗冷冷地说：“言凉。” 土堂言凉尚在广场之中，他立时领命。 苏袖偷偷抬眼，看向那位久不露面与自己关系一般的言凉堂主，但见其形容冷漠，比之雷诺然还显话少的感觉，整个人处于一种近乎无情的苍白，让苏袖这种善于揣测人心的人看了，也只觉此人是一片空白，毫无可说。 但就是这样的人，居然藏匿于黑暗之中，让人不着行迹。萧茗夜间与自己多次交谈也没有提到言凉这个后招，心中陡然惊醒，总归自己还只是他的棋子，切莫得意忘形的好。 "Start." 萧茗的话方一落音，言凉的手一挥，方才那派投奔绯夕烟的人便被围在了中间，犹如待宰的羔羊，屠刀拔出，满场的惨烈。 苏袖捂着唇，再不敢看这凄惨一幕。 她明知，萧茗是绝对不允许有人背叛自己。而他也是万分清楚，此刻更是建立自己在门中不可动摇的威名的时候，杀、杀、杀！绝不姑息。竟连水堂那副堂主阮齐，也是在瞬间便被言凉制住，一刀殒命。 这是她第一次看见如此胆寒一幕，更是难受，那些人里还有往日与自己交好的。 终于，她忍受不住地扑了出去，跪在广场中央，大声说道：“门主，你答应过袖儿，能应允一件事儿。” 萧茗不答话，水运寒却在对她使眼色，让她别在这中间掺和。 苏袖亦是后悔此刻的冲动行径，她算什么，不过是个婢女，她根本就不应该出来自讨没趣，可是她若是坐视不理，那和那些持刀的人有何区别？ 言凉在萧茗示意下暂且停手，他回身看着跪在地上犹自有些哆嗦的女子，当她抬起头的时候，却看见那双含水的眸子里，意外坚定，不觉好奇万分，这便是萧茗与自己提过的性情极好的贴身女婢？ 萧茗知晓苏袖在下方，虽与众生蝼蚁相像，却的确有着和自己平等交谈的筹码，“你想要什么？” “门主英明，请听苏袖一言。其一我们地狱门自创建，便收容世间可怜可恨无处容身之人，地狱门便相当于我等的家一般，从未有过异心。而今他们也并非是反叛您，只是选择留在地狱门呀，门主之于地狱门，便是家主，如何能说家人守家，而背叛家主的呢？其二则是若是此事与九天门有关，奴婢担心此事过后，门内元气大伤，他们便是想借门主之手自相残杀，往后占取渔翁之利。”苏袖心中给自己擦了把汗，却还是硬着头皮说，“恳请门主给他们一次机会……方是大途。” 萧茗没回答，她也不敢起来，只跪在那里任凉风吹过，冷飕飕的寒意。明知道这是忤逆他心中原意，却也不愿今日地狱门血流成河。 在外人，地狱门都是灾劫，在她，却真是家。 向来寡言的雷诺然正站在萧茗身旁，难得地说了句公道话，“其一不可取，其二有道理。” 此举倒是给了萧茗一个台阶下，他淡淡地睨了眼忽然默不做声的水运寒，对着言凉说：“也罢，便这样吧。” 苏袖舒了口气，顿时瘫软在了地上，还是杨眉儿壮着胆子上前扶起了她。口中念念有词，“就你心善，后背都吓湿了。” 她心道，我这已经够坚强了，其实都快吓晕过去了。 只是好运不长久，萧茗那道凛冽寒江的眸子终于落在她身上，冷然地说：“你随我来。” 水运寒着紧了问：“那圣主呢？” 萧茗又看了眼此刻呆愣着的绯夕烟，从她手中拿过那个泛黄卷轴，声音愈加森然，“送去定玉楼。我倒想看看云连邀还能做点什么。” 在听见云连邀的名字后，两行泪终于从绯夕烟的眼中，缓缓落下。 三十三座高塔，三十三个愿望。我愿替你受罪，却原来是噩梦一场。 苏袖眼睁睁瞧着萧茗凌空而下，从自己身旁走过，心中暗暗叫苦。但也不敢有违，对杨眉儿道了声谢后，匆匆忙忙地就跟了上去。 到了左右居前，苏袖紧张得不敢上前，站在门外左右为难，只听里面沉闷的一声响起，“方才胆子不是挺大的？” 她咽了口气，闭着眼睛推开房门，直直地走了进去，忽然后领被狠狠揪住，整个人就倒卧在萧茗腿上。 “门主我错了！”她着急忙慌地承认错误，丝毫不掩饰此刻心中的悔意。 依着原本萧茗的意思，言凉所杀之人都是原先探查过的确有问题的，而之后会有一个人出来解救众人，那个人就是风子轩，用来平衡水运寒如今声望，只是苏袖这一跑，跑出个大麻烦，你说她在门内什么也不是，受了这么多恩惠是要做什么？ 他简单地说了下原本的用意，这回苏袖就更加后悔了，不过她也没马上便问缘由，却也理解了此番萧茗一石二鸟的苦心。 大抵做一门之主与一国之君的差别便在江山大小，手底下五堂堂主也就与朝中大臣一般，偏倚了谁都不好，凡事儿都需有个平衡。前段日子萧茗太过依仗水运寒，自然想在这次事件中，提拔一下风子轩，未料被苏袖抢先搅了个黄。 屁股被抽了一巴掌，她痛呼了声，只好龇牙咧嘴地喊道：“门主我要如何挽救，别打了，好疼……” 其实萧茗也并非着恼，只是想让其知道点分寸。 他松开手，让她直视着自己，“原先我答应你的依旧会应许了你。” 为了表达自己的诚意，萧茗将一枚令牌放在她手心之中，“我的令牌，以后还可答应你一桩事儿，绝不反悔。” 苏袖讶异地看着手中之物，实在不明了萧茗忽然转了心情，下如此血本是为了什么。 “你须得记住，我给你的考虑时间不会太久，别逼我用强。” 恍悟，自己答应给他画玄天八卦的地图，还没有开始。 暗暗蹙眉，苏袖回答得倒是坚定得很，“很快，不会太久的，我只是要回忆清楚些，不想遗漏了细节。” 此一战，所有门派安插在地狱门内的内鬼被拔之一空，伤亡惨重。 然地狱门本身也是如此，损失大批好手，颇有些人丁凋零之感，全仗萧茗一人回归，四堂俱在，一时间除了些宵小之辈打着替天行道的旗号，上门来讨伐被打得屁滚尿流后，再也没有人敢上山挑衅。 未过几天，有人来报，说绯夕烟不知为何，居然不在定玉楼中，被人救了去。 何人有如此大的本领，居然在地狱门中来去自如。自不必说，定是九天门云连邀无疑。 萧茗正捧着杯碧茶，眼都未抬，轻轻挥了挥手说：“任他救了吧。” 他更在乎的，此一战，似乎是自己赢了，只不过云连邀如入无人之境地救走绯夕烟此事儿还是有些薄了面子，暗自内火。到底还是连云连邀的真面目都未曾见到，原本以为，他应该会出现在此地的…… 手指蘸着茶水，在桌上画了个名字。 苏袖正擦着桌子，这一下微微一愣，凑眼过去，却觉这三个字呈现了你认识我我不认识你的状态，不觉好奇地看向萧茗。 委实二人感情倒是亲近了些，招了招手让她到自己旁边坐下，习惯性地伸手搂过她的肩，问：“认识这三个字吗？” 苏袖自然不识得，不过聪明如她，却也猜得是什么，“虽不认得，不过能猜到一二。” "you say." 不过想起那日里不知分寸最后被打了一顿的事情，她撇了撇嘴，也不敢多说，直到萧茗黑了脸，她才犹豫着开了口。 “我想门主如今挂心的应该是木堂主吧。” 这一番折腾，倒是揪出了那陈年故事儿，木长雪与萧茗的门主之争，而木长雪虽没出现，他的天蚕丝险些让萧茗送命，他更是险些坐上门主之位的唯一一人。 萧茗并未反对，却也不发一言，沉默在原处。 “若木长雪……便是云连邀……”他皱眉自言。 苏袖倒觉着没什么不可能，照绯夕烟所说那段过往，木长雪恨不恨萧茗便两说，其创立九天门与地狱门作对，也是极有可能。 不过她想说之话还未出口，便看水运寒已然站在门外，目光及处，却看萧茗与苏袖坐得如此亲密之时，眸光微敛。 萧茗对苏袖说：“你先去忙些别的，我与运寒说些话儿。” 苏袖乖巧地点点头，收拾了手中的物事，端出了左右居。 一路回了房间，却看房外聚集了很多人，不觉大惊，几步跑过连声问：“你们这是做什么呢？” “哎哟，恭喜袖儿姑娘啊，门主说今次袖儿姑娘立了大功，说是不用住在这么简陋的地方，特准了左右居旁的小厢房给姑娘你哟。” 苏袖愣住，人流穿梭，有恭喜的，也有道谢她往日帮忙的，还有话中带刺说她真要当凤凰了的，当然也有帮其搬东西的。 说实在的，苏袖的东西少得可怜，也没什么需要搬的。 她忽然想起门主所谓，做新娘子此话。难道……他真的要兑现诺言了吗？心头小鹿乱撞，径自跟着别人来到小厢房。 麻雀虽小五脏俱全，这小厢房比之原来的房间，那自然不可同日而语，前后两堂，进门处是一处极为精致的小厅，摆放着紫檀木架、花梨木的小圆桌，后进小屋应就是安寝的地方了，用白色棉纱隔开，当先便是两张古红色的大竹椅，靠着菱花小窗，对窗的自然就一张挂着紫色纱帘的精致小床。床畔立着一个斗大的精致花囊，插着一囊的琉璃水丁香。或者与整屋子的紫檀木有关，走到哪处也能闻见淡淡的香气。 墙上挂着一幅当代大家林丹青的“凤还巢”名画，夕阳晚照，天光渐暗，流光溢彩的火凤渐渐收了双翅，朝着苍天大梧飞去。 苏袖虽不认得上书对联，却是能识得此画含义，不觉站在画前愣住。 凤还巢，也要凤有巢可归。 这些年虽则地狱门行事不端，却是将她保护得很好。未曾体会人间疾苦，世间离落，在这方寸小地，便是能心有所归。
