Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Killing Intent

Walking out of the monastery, Wen Min saw Lu Xueqi standing aside, walked over and said, "Junior Sister, are you going back now?" Lu Xueqi shook her head slightly, and said: "Since I'm out, I want to walk around, I feel bored sitting in the room all the time." Wen Min nodded and said: "That's right, then you should be careful, I'll go back first." Lu Xueqi nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, Senior Sister, go slowly." Wen Min smiled, turned and left.Watching her figure gradually disappear into the bamboo forest, Lu Xueqi stood there silent for a moment, but she didn't know where she should go, so she walked casually.

The bamboo forest is deep, green everywhere, and there is a mountain wind blowing from the heights, and the tips of the bamboo branches sway with the wind, making a rustling sound. On the slightly moist land, new shoots break through the ground, and from time to time you can see the pointed heads of bamboo shoots protruding from the ground, full of vitality. In the distance, where the bamboo branches are dense, there is a crisp bird song, and even the surrounding air is filled with a unique fragrance of bamboo.Lu Xueqi took a deep breath, there is no vulgar atmosphere here, it has always been the favorite of those cultivators, and it is also the reason why cultivators stay away from the world.

It's just that the body is far away from the secular world, but the fate of the world seems to never leave half a point. Just stepping on the lotus steps lightly like this, and walking casually, without knowing it, Lu Xueqi suddenly realized that she had come to the back mountain again, she gave a slight wry smile, although she didn't expect to come here today, but maybe it was on weekdays. After coming too much, these two feet actually walked by themselves. But since it came, it was safe, Lu Xueqi didn't look back, and continued to walk slowly up the mountain, the stone steps went up, and not far away was the moon-watching platform, a secluded place on Xiaozhufeng.

It was daytime now, and Master Shuiyue was in a bad mood recently, and no one came to this remote place. Every plant, every tree, every rock and every rock is all too familiar to her. Unexpectedly, she had just stepped onto the moon-watching platform, but she was taken aback for a moment. In front of the moon-watching platform, there was a figure standing alone, with her robes being blown by the mountain wind. The figure from her back was very familiar. It was her and Wen Min. Master Shuiyue, the master that cannot be found. Lu Xueqi was stunned, walked up to the day before yesterday, bowed to Master Shuiyue, and said, "Master."

Master Shuiyue shook his body, as if he just realized that someone was coming behind him, turned around, looked at Lu Xueqi, nodded, and said, "It's Xueqi." Lu Xueqi looked towards Master Shuiyue, and saw that her teacher's face was slightly pale, still sad, but at this moment, more and more, they were all lonely. She was worried in her heart, and said: "Master, it's windy here, you have to take care of yourself." Master Shuiyue smiled and said: "You have been standing here all day on weekdays, and I haven't seen anything wrong with you. Although my old bones are not younger than yours, I am not too weak."

Lu Xueqi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Master, disciple doesn't mean that, I mean..." Master Shuiyue waved his hand wearily, with a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "I know, you don't need to explain." Lu Xueqi stood beside Master Shuiyue silently, but she didn't know what to say for a moment. And Master Shuiyue didn't seem to have the intention to speak, and both master and apprentice fell silent for a moment. After an unknown amount of time, Master Shuiyue looked into the distance and suddenly asked, "Do you think the scenery on the moon-watching platform is beautiful?"

Lu Xueqi was stunned for a moment, she didn't know why Master Shuiyue asked him so suddenly, but she still replied honestly: "As the saying goes, the scenery is always on the dangerous peak, where the dangerous rocks are abrupt, and the lonely cliff hangs in the air. Looking from above, the sea of ​​clouds is like waves. , with the green hills as companions, it is the place with the most beautiful scenery.” Master Shuiyue nodded slightly, his eyes blurred slightly, and slowly said: "Actually, many years ago, when your uncle Suru was still practicing on Xiaozhufeng, he was just like you, loved the scenery here the most, and often Sneaked here alone to play."

Lu Xueqi was startled, looked up at Master Shuiyue, only to see Master Shuiyue sighing softly, and said: "Junior Sister Su and I grew up together since we were young, so I only joined her mentor a year earlier than her. Master Zhenyu, when we were young, we ate at the same table and slept in the same bed, and we were really sisters. She is usually more lively than me, but she loves to sneak here when she is wronged. She also came to this moon-watching platform, sullen all by herself." When Master Shuiyue said this, the corner of his mouth twitched, as if he remembered some past events of the year, and he smiled, but before the smile came out, it was replaced by a deeper look of bewilderment and vicissitudes on his face.

"But...she hasn't been here since she got married." Lu Xueqi silently listened to Master Shuiyue's words, and said in a low voice: "Master, were you not happy when Uncle Su married Uncle Tian from Dazhu Peak?" Master Shuiyue was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly, sighed, and said: "Although Tian Buyi has a bad temper and a bit of a surly temper, he is a good wife. You Martial Uncle Su married him, it is hers. Fortunately, she also has vision." Lu Xueqi was quite surprised when she heard this, in the past, everyone knew that Master Shuiyue disliked Tian Buyi, but she didn't think so in her heart, and couldn't help asking: "Then what do you think?" In the past, I treated Uncle Tian like that..." Halfway through speaking, she suddenly stopped talking.

Master Shuiyue smiled slightly, and said, "You're still sneering at him, aren't you?" Lu Xueqi blushed, and said, "I don't dare to think that way." Master Shuiyue said calmly: "I treat him like this on weekdays, and it's not something to be taboo about. There's nothing to be jealous about. But although I can't get along with Tian Buyi, to be honest, he's still a good person. Among the Qingyun sect, there are not many people who can compare with him." Speaking of this, Master Shuiyue seemed to think of something suddenly, frowned slightly, and said: "The eldest disciple under Tian Buyi is called Song Daren, right?"

Lu Xueqi nodded, but she didn't know why Master Shuiyue suddenly asked Song Daren, and said, "Exactly, Senior Brother Song has now taken over the head of the Dazhu Peak lineage. Master, why did you suddenly think of it?" Brother Song?" Master Shuiyue was silent for a while, and said: "Your Senior Sister Wen Min, does she flirt with this Song Daren?" Lu Xueqi was startled at this moment, she didn't know what to say for a while.Wen Min and Song Daren have affection for each other, most people know it, and the sisters on Xiaozhufeng usually make fun of Wen Min with this matter, but Tian Buyi once went up the mountain to ask for marriage for Song Daren, but Master Shuiyue snapped at him. The refusal made Wenmin sad in private, and was depressed for several days.Now being asked by Master Shuiyue suddenly, Lu Xueqi's thoughts changed, but she didn't know whether to speak directly, or to hide more for Senior Sister Wen Min. What kind of experience Master Shuiyue has, just looking at Lu Xueqi's hesitation, he can mostly see it, shook his head, and sighed deeply. Lu Xueqi couldn't help feeling a little anxious, her relationship with Wen Min was excellent, although she herself was not in a good relationship, she hoped that this senior sister who had been taking care of her since she was a child could have a good home, so she mustered up her courage and said: " Master, in fact, Sister Wenmin..." He didn't say a few words, but he only heard Master Shuiyue say calmly: "Forget it, forget it, find a day and marry Wenmin over there." Lu Xueqi was stunned for a moment, and could hardly believe her ears.Master Shuiyue glanced at her, smiled, and said: "Why, do you disciples always think that I am a stubborn old man who refuses to fulfill the good deeds of my disciples?" Lu Xueqi was extremely happy for Wen Min in her heart, she quickly smiled and said: "Master, what do you think you are talking about? How dare the disciples think so. Let me thank you for Senior Sister Wen Min first!" Master Shuiyue looked at Lu Xueqi's rare sincere smile, the corners of his mouth moved, but he sighed softly again, turned around, stood with his hands behind his back, and stared silently at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance. Lu Xueqi was delighted, and seeing Master Shuiyue's expression changed, she said cautiously, "Master, why did you suddenly think of this?" Master Shuiyue was silent for a moment, and asked instead: "Xueqi, you also followed me to Dazhufeng, what do you think of your uncle Su's death?" Lu Xueqi's expression became solemn, she pondered for a while, and said solemnly: "This disciple thinks that Master Su and Master Tian are deeply in love with each other, and they followed him away without any sign of pain." "Yes." Master Shuiyue sighed softly, dazed in a daze, and said after a while, "I didn't want you to be disturbed by love and delay your practice, but what will happen to this lifetime of practice?" Lu Xueqi didn't know what Master Shuiyue meant, so she didn't dare to speak up for a while.Master Shuiyue said slowly: "The theory of longevity is still illusory and illusory. I practiced hard for a lifetime, but I wasted hundreds of years of time. You, Uncle Su, treat a hundred years of Taoism and life as nothing. This determination Eyesight, but I really don’t know how much better than me.” Lu Xueqi's heart suddenly felt sour, and she called out: "Master..." "I have practiced for a lifetime, and I have practiced for a lifetime. I have cultivated the Tao, but I have lost my humanity. Why bother?" Master Shuiyue sighed, and said lightly, "Actually, what is the Tao, and what is the Tao? Today, it’s really a little blurred.” Lu Xueqi stood aside, not daring to speak.Grandmaster Shuiyue stood silently for a while, then shook his head suddenly, as if he didn't want to think about it anymore, turned around and walked down the mountain.Lu Xueqi looked at her back and called out, "Master, where are you going?" Master Shuiyue paused for a moment, and said: "I have made up my mind about Wen Min, so you can go over and talk to her. But..." Her voice paused, but she turned around again, with a bit of pity on her face, she looked at Lu Xueqi and said, "It's you, Xueqi, have you ever thought about yourself?" Lu Xueqi was startled, and said: "What?" Then she came to understand, her face turned pale, she slowly showed a helpless smile, and said in a low voice: "Master, my disciple's life is not good, so I dare not think about it." Master Shuiyue stared at his unparalleled disciple, and saw that her white clothes were fluttering, and she looked like she was out of the world, but there was a lot of sadness accumulated on her face.Master Shuiyue suddenly felt distressed for no reason, and called out: "Xueqi." Lu Xueqi raised her head, looked at Master Shuiyue, and only heard Master Shuiyue say indifferently: "Xueqi, your love life is difficult, but you don't want to turn back, and the master can't say anything to you. It's just you and me as a teacher and a disciple. I also don't want to see you like this, if there is a turning point in the future, I will take care of the rules here at Qingyunmen, so you don't have to worry about it." Lu Xueqi's body was shaken, and she couldn't help but yelled: "Master . . . " I didn't know what to say. Master Shuiyue smiled at her, but sighed again, turned around and left, and after a while, his figure disappeared under the rocky steps of the mountain. Only in the mountain wind, could she faintly whisper: "Ask the world!" , what is love..." Lu Xueqi stood in the same place, her heart was in turmoil for a moment, she was distressed several times, and her heart was twisted, but she still couldn't think of any results. Only when she was in a daze, she suddenly thought in a daze: Not long ago, in that Heyang In the abandoned Yizhuang outside the city, Tian Buyi seemed to have said similar words to her. ※※※ Hu Qishan, Ghost King Zong. A pretty figure appeared in the tunnel at the side of the mountain where the Ghost King Zong's main hall is located. Different from all the gray and dull things around, when this figure moves, it seems to be shining with dazzling light, bringing A touch of color. Disciples of the Ghost King Sect passed by from time to time in the passage, and there was almost no one who was not attracted by her, but as the woman swept her eyes, they all walked away quickly, as if they didn't dare to have more love with her. touch.Even in this ghost king clan, it seems that she is a special existence. And she is really special, with picturesque eyebrows and infinite coquettishness. Although she is a little less charming than Xiaobai, the nine-tailed sky fox, she is a little more gentle. Status, Jin Ping'er is now standing in the boundary of the Ghost King Sect, still looks a little dazzling. Jin Ping'er obviously doesn't care about the eyes of the people around her. For her, it seems that she is used to being the center of attention.At the end of the monster catastrophe, she finally escaped from the Zhenmogu cave in the 100,000 mountains in the southern border and returned to the Middle Earth. No one knew about the twists and turns, and she didn't tell anyone about it. At this moment, she has only one direction, and the ghost king wants to summon her. Passing another intersection, the corridor in front of me was divided into two, left and right, Jin Ping'er stopped, and glanced at the passage on the left, there seemed to be a flash of light in her eyes, and then disappeared, and she walked towards the passage on the right up. The damage caused to the Ghost King Sect by the strange earthquake that happened a long time ago can still be seen everywhere. There are many cracks, large or small, that can be seen from time to time on the rock wall of the mountain. In the air, there was still a slight bloody smell floating in it, which could not go away. Naturally, Jin Ping'er could feel this faint smell of blood, but she was surprised in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. At the moment, her status in the Ghost King's sect is no higher than that of the Acacia School in the past, so naturally she won't meddle in other's business.She was secretly surprised by this, and with her knowledge and experience, she could naturally feel that the bloody aura was very strange. While she was thinking, she had already walked out of the room where the ghost king was. She stopped, and was about to call for someone to announce, when suddenly the stone door in front of her opened rumblingly, and the ghost king laughed from inside the house, saying: "Yes! Bottle, come in quickly." Jin Ping'er was taken aback secretly, but with a smile on his face, he said: "Yes." Then he walked in. I saw that the stone room was spacious and bright, and although the furnishings were not luxurious, it was dignified. The King of Ghosts was sitting behind a table, with a large sheet of white paper in front of him and the Four Treasures of the Study beside him. He seemed to be practicing calligraphy. Jin Ping'er glanced at the ghost king, and said with a sweet smile: "The suzerain is in a good mood today, why did you think of writing?" The ghost king raised his head to look at Jin Ping'er, and smiled slightly, Jin Ping'er's smile froze suddenly, and he felt that the ghost king's gaze was stabbing like two sharp blades, and when he looked at him, there was a tingling sensation in his eyes. But fortunately, the ghost king quickly turned his eyes back, still looking at the white paper under his hands, and beckoning at the same time: "Come and see, how is my handwriting?" Jin Ping'er was secretly surprised, when she was with the ghost king in the past, she had never felt this way, why in just a short period of time, the ghost king's Taoism skills seem to have improved like a thousand miles a day? But after all, she is not that kind of superficial person, thinking secretly in her heart, but with a smile on her face, she walked over, brought a burst of fragrance, and said with a smile: "I am an ordinary person who knows nothing about writing. King Zong wants me Come and see, it’s really difficult for me.” The ghost king smiled, didn't answer, moved away, Jin Ping'er stood by the table, looked at the white paper on the table, and saw a big word on the big white paper that came into view: kill! Every stroke of this character is like a silver hook painted on iron, with extremely heavy force, it seems to come out through the paper, it definitely does not have the correct atmosphere of regular script, nor is it like cursive script, which is light and heavy, free in mind, and a murderous aura rolls in. . Jin Ping'er's heart was shocked, as if she felt a cold gaze around her, but the ghost king's kind laughter came from beside her ear, and said: "Ping'er, what do you think of this word?" Jin Ping'er was full of smiles, like a spring breeze blowing by, the room was full of spring, she smiled and said: "Zong Wang's writing is so beautiful, I have been practicing for ten years, and I can write such a character." The King of Ghosts looked at Jin Ping'er indifferently. Under his gaze, Jin Ping'er felt a faint chill in her heart, but the smile on her face remained undiminished until she herself felt that the muscles on her face were a little sore from keeping the smile on. At that time, the ghost king suddenly looked away. Only then did Jin Ping'er secretly heave a sigh of relief, and at the same time secretly horrified in her heart, this time back, the ghost king was completely different from the usual demeanor, with a murderous aura like a raging tide, forcing him to come over, and seeing the ghost king's appearance, he He also didn't seem to have the slightest intention to hide it. This is very different from his usual style. Could it be that something happened these days? Jin Ping'er thought to herself, the ghost king over there had already said: "Master Daoist, why don't you come and take a look, what do you think of this word written by the old man?" Jin Ping'er's heart was shocked again, she turned around in astonishment, it turned out that there was actually a person standing in the corner of the stone room, dressed in a Taoist robe, with a dignified face.Jin Ping'er's thoughts changed sharply, and she was even more suspicious. After she entered the stone room, although she was momentarily shocked by the ghost king's strange murderous aura and was taken away by him, this person restrained his whole body and stood aside without noticing it. It is also not to be underestimated. The Taoist walked up slowly in response to the sound, looked at the words on the white paper on the table for a while, and after a long while, said: "Good words." The chill in Ghost King's eyes was still there, but he still smiled and said, "What's so good about it?" The Taoist said: "The good thing about this character is that the strokes and the meaning of the character complement each other. The character has a killing intent, and it comes out through the character. It's rare, rare!" The ghost king stared at the Taoist, the Taoist's expression remained unchanged, he stepped back slowly, and stood three feet away from Jin Ping'er.The ghost king suddenly laughed out loud, and said: "Well said, well said, what the Taoist priest said won my heart." The Taoist bowed his head slightly, thanking him. Jin Ping'er couldn't help but glanced at the Taoist, only to hear the ghost king say: "Ping'er, let me introduce you, this is my sect's strong supporter, Taoist Master Cangsong." Quan Ping'er raised his eyebrows, the sharpness in his eyes flashed, then he looked at Cang Song with a smile, and said with a smile: "I have admired you for a long time, I have admired you for a long time——" Taoist Cangsong nodded to Jin Ping'er, at this time the ghost king said again: "Ping'er, I called you back this time because our holy religion is about to have a major event that is rarely seen in a thousand years, and we need your help." Jin Ping Ping'er smiled and said: "Sovereign just do what you say, Ping'er will definitely go all out." The ghost king smiled and said: "I have roughly explained the specific matters to Taoist Cangsong. You can ask him later and you will know. Although this matter is not urgent, you still need to hurry up. You should go down and discuss it carefully." " Jin Ping'er nodded, saluted the ghost king at the same time as Taoist Cangsong, and retreated. The stone gate was slowly closed, and the two walked side by side in the passage, without speaking for a while, only when they passed the three-way intersection just now, Jin Ping'er couldn't help but glanced at the road on the left again. At this moment, Cangsong Taoist's voice suddenly came from next to his ear: "Deputy Sect Master Gui Li has been away from Huqi Mountain for many days, and he still hasn't come back." Jin Ping'er frowned, and her eyes turned cold, she turned her head to look at Taoist Cangsong, but Taoist Cangsong ignored him, and after saying this, he walked forward on his own. After a while, Quan Ping'er slowly showed a somewhat mysterious smile, sneered, and followed him.
