Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Blood Omen

Qingyun Mountain, Xiaozhu Peak. The mountain wind blew through the green bamboo forest, bringing up waves of bamboo waves, which echoed in the secluded forest in the empty valley. Wen Min looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was cloudless and blue, and it seemed to have a transparent feeling.She took a deep breath, and her mood improved, but her pace did not slow down, and she walked through the bamboo forest path, and soon she saw the small bamboo house where Master Shuiyue practiced quietly. She walked to the door, knocked lightly on the door, and said, "Master, I'm back."

Master Shuiyue's voice came out, saying: "Is it Min'er, come in." Wen Min pushed open the door and walked in. The bamboo house was not big, and after entering the door, she saw Master Shuiyue sitting cross-legged on the couch, closing his eyes and resting his mind.She walked aside and said, "Master." Master Shuiyue slowly opened his eyes, glanced at her, saw that she was alone, and said, "Why, no one was found?" Wen Min nodded, and said: "Yes, I have been to Junior Sister Lu's residence twice today, but she is not there. I asked other sisters, but no one saw her. Could it be that she has something to go down the mountain? "

Master Shuiyue expressionless, said: "Xue Qi has always known the importance, if she goes down the mountain, she will definitely let me know, if you can't find her, it's probably..." Her voice paused, as if she had thought of something, she turned to After finishing the conversation, he said to Wen Min: "Since you can't find her, forget it, there is nothing important anyway, you can go down and do your homework." Wen Min nodded, responded, then bowed to Master Shuiyue, then walked out, and gently closed the door of the bamboo house before leaving. After the sound of Wen Min's footsteps outside the house gradually faded away, a thoughtful expression slowly appeared on Master Shuiyue's usually calm face. After a long time, she sighed in a low voice.

Light came in from the window of the bamboo house, illuminating this delicate and simple bamboo house brightly. Master Shuiyue got off the bamboo couch silently, walked to the door, opened the door and walked out, leaving a silence in the room. in this small space. The moon-watching platform is a very secluded place on Xiaozhufeng. When the night is clear and the moon is in the sky, the scenery here is very moving. It is said that on a full moon night, the moonlight is like water. After being refracted by the white stone of the moon-watching platform, it can reflect the small bamboo The entire mountain range is already a wonder in the world, and it is also one of the famous scenery on Qingyun Mountain.

In the past ten years, Lu Xueqi has often danced swords against the moon here in the dead of night. Master Shuiyue is the mentor who raised Lu Xueqi since she was a child. She is like a teacher and a mother, and no one knows Lu Xueqi better than her. Thoughts.When she heard that Wen Min couldn't find Lu Xueqi, after thinking about it for a while, she guessed that Lu Xueqi probably came to this secluded place. Along the way, the bamboo forest became more and more luxuriant, and at the same time, it became farther and farther away from the bustling palaces and pavilions in the front mountain. Although Master Shuiyue's own room is also in a secluded place, walking on this path, you can hear the endless waves of bamboo on both sides of the road. , Still can't help but feel empty.

I wonder if Xueqi loves this place so much because of this feeling? Master Shuiyue thought so quietly in his heart, and walked towards the moon-watching platform.Sure enough, as soon as she stepped onto the moon-watching platform, she saw the familiar figure in white standing quietly on the boulder on the edge of the lonely cliff. The mountain wind in the endless abyss was blowing non-stop, and Lu Xueqi's white clothes were blowing along with the wind. Hunting and dancing. Tianya was still in her hands, quietly exuding a light blue glow. Master Shuiyue looked at her back and was silent for a long time. There seemed to be some complicated emotions in his eyes, and his eyes kept flickering. After a long while, she coughed lightly.

Lu Xueqi immediately noticed the strangeness behind her, she was a little surprised, it was daytime, no sisters from Xiaozhufeng would come to this remote place, why did someone come here today, and the person came near behind her, she But found nothing. She turned around quickly, but what caught her eyes was the figure of her mentor, Master Shuiyue. Lu Xueqi was stunned for a moment, and quickly floated down from the boulder, came to Master Shuiyue, bowed her head and said, "Master, why don't you coming?" Master Shuiyue felt a bit of pity in his eyes, he pulled Lu Xueqi's lapel with his hands, and said softly: "The wind blowing here is quite cold and harsh, although you have deep knowledge, you should not blow it too much. It's no good."

Lu Xueqi lowered her head and said: "I understand, thank you Master for your concern." Master Shuiyue glanced at her, sighed, and said, "Do you have some resentment for being a teacher?" Lu Xueqi was taken aback, and said, "Master, why do you say that?" Master Shuiyue said indifferently: "I told you the secret and let you go down the mountain. Who knows that God's will tricks people, and after several twists and turns, you had to kill Master Dazhu Fengtian who was restrained by the ancient sword of Zhuxian. And it was done in front of that person."

Lu Xueqi's expression darkened, but she shook her head slowly, and said: "Master, don't talk about it, this disciple has already thought clearly in his heart. This is God's will, and Master, you can't think of it yourself, let alone the last moment of the day. Martial Uncle Tian can't speak, but I can clearly feel his intentions in my heart, and Martial Uncle Tian wanted me to strike that sword." Her voice paused for a moment, and her expression suddenly revealed a sense of desolation, like self-mockery, like a wry smile, and said faintly: "As for the relationship with that person... I don't have any hope at all. I understand very well. Uncle Tian of Dazhufeng was the mentor who raised him since he was a child. He has always regarded him as his father, but now he died at my hands. It is unacceptable for me to be him."

Speaking of this, she raised her head silently, looked at Master Shuiyue, smiled sadly, and said: "Master, you don't have to worry about the disciple, I, I really have already seen it!" Master Shuiyue felt a pain in her heart. With her experience, how could she not see what Lu Xueqi was thinking at this moment, but this matter was too unexpected, and there was no room for change. Although she resolutely opposed this stubborn disciple in the past Feelings, but at this moment, after all, I can't bear it. But no matter how unbearable it was, it was useless in the end. Master Shuiyue sighed softly, shook his head, and said softly: "Xue Qi, don't be too sad, don't hurt your body."

Lu Xueqi forced a smile, and said in a low voice: "Master, you came to this remote place to look for me, but is there anything important?" Master Shuiyue nodded, and said: "Yes, there is indeed one thing here, although it is not big, it seems very strange, and I think about it, or only you are more suitable." Lu Xueqi said: "What's the matter?" Master Shuiyue glanced at her and said: "Actually, it's still a secret. By the way, you said that day after the accident happened, did you personally send Gui Li and Tian Buyi's body to the Big Bamboo Peak?" Lu Xueqi's face changed slightly when she heard the word "Ghost Li", but then she nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, that day... that person was seriously injured, although his life was not in danger, but he had to take it with him alone. It was too much effort for Master Tian's body to return to the mountain, and it was not appropriate to delay the matter for a long time, so the disciple sent them off. But I only sent them to the Big Bamboo Peak, and left after they landed. " Master Shuiyue nodded and said, "That's right, the weirdness is here." Lu Xueqi was slightly surprised, and said, "What's the matter, Master?" Master Shuiyue said calmly: "As you said, Tian Buyi's body had already returned to the Big Bamboo Peak two days ago, but until today, there has been no message of condolence from the Big Bamboo Peak." Lu Xueqi was taken aback, and couldn't help but also frowned. Master Shuiyue walked to the side with his hands behind his back, and looked out from afar, only to see the clouds and mists in the distance, Dazhufeng loomed in that direction, she looked at it for a while, and said: "Tian Buyi is the head of the Dazhufeng lineage, the status is very important, as long as the news Even if the real head teacher has to pay homage, but it is kept secret on the Big Bamboo Peak, isn't it a strange thing?" She paused, turned to look at Lu Xueqi, and said: "Besides, I also quietly sent someone to find an excuse to go to Longshou Peak in the morning, and found that Tian Linger was still on Longshou Peak. The news of his death is actually unknown." Lu Xueqi was silent for a long time, and said: "Disciple understands." Master Shuiyue nodded and said: "You are Bingxue smart, I won't say anything more. In fact, I don't doubt anything, Suru is my junior sister, we two are just like sisters, not for others, I actually I am even more worried that she is deeply in love with her husband and wife, and she did something stupid when she couldn't think about it for a while. But Dazhufeng does not mourn for a day, and as the head of Xiaozhufeng, it is not convenient for me to go to visit, and there are many secrets and twists in this matter. It's inconvenient, so I have to let you go there again." Lu Xueqi nodded, and said: "Disciple knows, since this is the case, if there is nothing else, this disciple will pass." Master Shuiyue nodded slightly, and said: "That's fine, you should be careful all the way, and if anything happens, come back early and let me know." Lu Xueqi responded, bowed to Master Shuiyue, turned around, the divine light of Tianya Divine Sword lit up in her hand, and she walked with the sword, only to hear a piercing howl, the person has turned into a blue light, soaring to the sky And got up. Master Shuiyue looked at Lu Xueqi's slightly hasty figure, who didn't resemble her calm demeanor in the past, and knew that although this stubborn and infatuated apprentice was strong on the surface and let go of his mouth, there were thousands of things in his heart that he couldn't let go of. of. She was silent for a long time, and finally she just let out a low sigh, shook her head, turned around and walked down the observation platform, and went straight. ※※※ Thousands of miles away, in Huqi Mountain. In the ice stone room, the frosty air still curled up, and the serene woman in green was lying quietly on the ice stone platform as usual. You Ji, who was covered with a light veil, stood alone in the ice stone room, stared at Bi Yao for a long time, and sighed softly, with a lot of helplessness. In You Ji's heart, there has indeed been too much helplessness recently, which puzzled her, made her sad, and gradually confused her. First, the ghost king seemed to have completely changed himself. Although the resolute and resolute ghost king in the past was still a man of great talent, his intention to kill and attack became more and more serious in his daily actions. It means that the ghost king has killed several people in a row, including even a senior of the ghost king sect with a high status. And these trivial matters, two years ago, the ghost king would have laughed it off.You Ji clearly felt that people in the Ghost King's clan were panic-stricken and everyone was afraid, and no one knew that one day she would suddenly die for no reason because of some insignificant incident. What made You Ji even more distressed was that she accidentally ran into Ghost King and Gui Li and they started fighting. Although it was only a few moments, You Ji was not an ordinary congregation, she was a member of the Ghost King sect. Suzaku, one of the Four Great Sacred Envoys, could clearly see that there was already a deep rift between the two men. Among them, there may not be no killing intent. Her eyes darkened, and she looked at Baguio, who was still sleeping peacefully.It was because of this respectable and beautiful woman that those two men came together, but why, after ten years, did they come to this point? You Ji really couldn't imagine, what would happen if those two men killed each other one day?And now it seems that this kind of thing may not happen. "Man, huh, man!" You Ji recited a sentence bitterly in her heart, upset, when her gaze turned to Bi Yao, it turned into pity.This child she has always regarded as her own daughter, every time she sees Baguio, she can't help feeling sad. Just when she was thinking silently here alone, the heavy stone door of the cold stone room suddenly made a low roar, and someone opened it from the outside. You Ji turned her head to look, and after a while, she saw the ghost king's figure appearing at the door, slowly walking in, she couldn't help being startled. Then the Ghost King also saw You Ji, nodded to her, and said calmly: "You are here too." You Ji suddenly sneered, stared at the ghost king, but didn't speak. The ghost king frowned, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. Now he seems to be particularly irritable, which is quite different from his previous temperament.It's just that You Ji is not an ordinary person after all, and the relationship with his father and daughter is even more incomparable. The King of Ghosts always treats You Ji differently.At the moment, he could only ask: "What's wrong?" You Ji snorted and said with a sneer: "Do you still remember that there is a daughter lying here?" The Ghost King frowned and said, "What are you talking about? I don't remember why. I only have such a child." You Ji Su Rong said: "Well, you can tell me, how long has it been since you came here to see Baguio?" The Ghost King was startled, but was speechless for a moment, and after a while, a hint of guilt seemed to flash in his eyes, he sighed, and said: "It's my fault, the school affairs are complicated recently, and I'm not in a good mood, so I'll stop coming .” You Ji said coldly: "I really don't understand, not only you, but also that Ghost Li, what's going on? You two seem to have changed a lot!" When she reached the last sentence, her tone was already Slowly became low. But the Ghost King didn't seem to care about You Ji's tone, but after hearing the word Gui Li, his expression darkened suddenly, he snorted, and said: "Zhuzi doesn't know the general idea, don't mention him in front of me!" You Ji looked at the ghost king's face, and saw that there was an angry look on his face, and she was about to say something, but suddenly a sense of exhaustion came to her heart, and she felt disheartened for a while, she shook her head, and said: " Forget it, forget it, you can do whatever you want, anyway, you can do it yourself, I really can't control it, and I don't bother to control it." As she said that, she turned and walked towards the door. The ghost king looked at her back and frowned, as if he wanted to say something to her, but he still didn't say it. Seeing that You Ji's hand was about to reach out to the heavy stone gate, suddenly, her hand stopped in mid-air, and almost at the same time, the ghost king standing behind her also felt something, his eyes glowed brightly. There was a sudden flash. An invisible but unstoppable force, like a surging tide, swept across the depths of the ground under their feet.Both Ghost King and You Ji are people with profound morality, and they were instantly discolored by this strange force. It's just that You Ji was shocked, but Ghost King was slightly delighted in his surprise, his eyes flickering non-stop. This strange tide wave after wave, like a turbulent sea that never stops, slowly, You Ji clearly felt that the ground under her feet was trembling slightly, and the trembling was still intensifying. Her face was slightly pale, the sudden strange power was unimaginably large and shocking, and it was almost impossible for anyone to resist. She looked back in horror, and saw the ghost king with a strange expression and bright eyes. But he didn't know what he was thinking, but there was not much fear on his face. At this moment, suddenly, in the seemingly impenetrable cold stone room surrounded by countless thick mountain rock walls, there were several successive crisp sounds, as if something had exploded. This time, Ghost King's complexion changed the same as You Ji's. Shocked, the two looked quickly, only to see a few short cracks on the originally solid stone wall, and a few small stones kept falling from the crack. , and at the same time, the ground under their feet seemed to be shaking more and more violently. Fortunately, this strange force seemed to find an outlet when the mountain wall was torn apart. Not long after the mountain wall was cracked, the two of them keenly felt this strange and mysterious force deep in the ground beneath their feet. It weakened rapidly, and disappeared without a trace after a short while. You Ji stood silently for a long time, frowning tightly, if not for the shocking cracks still on the stone wall, she almost thought that just now was just an illusion.It's just that the cracks are like knives, but they are really carved on the extremely hard stone wall. You Ji turned to look at the ghost king, for some reason, the ghost king just glanced at her, then turned his head to look at Bi Yao. "Do you know what's going on here?" A shadow suddenly flashed across You Ji's heart, and she had a bad premonition. The Ghost King shook his head slowly, and said calmly, "I don't know either. I'll send someone to survey the terrain to see if it's an earthquake." You Ji pondered for a moment, then said: "This shouldn't be an earthquake, the turbulent force just now was like a giant sea tide, and there was clearly a fierce murderous intent in it, it was definitely not a natural disaster." The ghost king was silent, and after a while he said: "I will investigate this matter in detail, so just leave it alone." You Ji stared at his back for a while, the veil on her face moved slightly, after a while, she didn't speak any more, turned around, opened the heavy stone door, and walked out. The stone door slowly closed again with a heavy roar, and the ice stone room fell into silence again.Looking at the serene, slightly smiling, peaceful and beautiful face, the ghost king's always deep and sharp eyes finally softened slowly. He silently sat down on the side of the ice stone bed, only looking at Baguio with indescribable longing and pain in his eyes.It seems that only at this time, when he faces his daughter alone, will he show these weaknesses. But, who knows? Or, if it is the ghost king himself, will he understand? Nobody knows. And outside this ice stone room, You Ji walked a few steps away from here, then stopped again, frowned, and looked around. I don't know if it was because she was in the extremely thick and solid ice stone room just now. Although she felt the strange mysterious power, the damage caused by the surrounding area was not severe. There is a gap in the road, this force is already no small matter. However, what she saw outside the Ice Stone Room was a much more serious phenomenon. Inside the corridors dug by the Ghost King Sect extending in all directions, there was a mess everywhere, and fallen rock fragments could be seen everywhere. From time to time, someone shouted anxiously, and someone moaned in pain. Obviously, that mysterious force had a more serious impact on Hu Qishan than expected. And in this busy time, You Ji also discovered another unusual thing, that is, in these well-ventilated corridors, at some point, there was a faint smell of blood in the air. This bloody aura came from nowhere, but it seemed to be everywhere. No matter where she went, she could feel this aura.Although the strange smell is not strong, You Ji still feels very uncomfortable, but the current troubles are too much for her, and she doesn't have the mind to worry about them any more. For her, it was like she was holding her breath in her chest, no matter what, she just wanted to rush out of this mountainside and go outside to take a breath.That's what she thought, and she did it! You Ji's figure quickly disappeared into the mountainside tunnel, but the faint bloody aura still seems to permeate here quietly...
