Chapter 8 Chapter 7 Shining Brilliance

Following his words, Ling Jun rolled his sleeves like water, and stood in front of the purple-clothed woman.The strong wind was gentle, but it completely blocked her way. The purple-clothed girl only moved, but was stopped by the strong wind, and the old man Jiuhua said calmly: "Although Lu Ao was a great thief when he was young, he has become quite a hero these years, you might as well let him go. " The purple-clothed woman snorted coldly, and said: "Heroic name? He secretly refines such vicious monsters as the Nine Nether Golden Silkworm. How can he be called a hero?"

The old man Jiuhua sighed: "Jiuyou golden silkworms must drink raw blood to grow, but I know that the golden silkworms refined by Lu Ao have never drank human blood, otherwise I would not allow him to the present." The purple-clothed woman looked at old man Jiuhua without saying a word.After a long time, she slowly said: "Your injuries are extremely serious, even if I do it myself, there is no guarantee that you can recover your martial arts within two days; but once you do it, Lu Ao has almost no strength to fight back. .” The old man Jiuhua didn't answer, and waited for the girl in purple to continue.

The purple-clothed woman said: "You haven't been down to Mount Jiuhua for many years, but you know exactly what happened in the rivers and lakes. Even the Tianxing sword refines the Jiuyou golden silkworm, you know, and you know that he has never used human Blood, then there are not many of his actions that can be hidden from you. Once the golden silkworm came out, you remained unmoved, obviously you already have a way to resist." The old man Jiuhua seemed to have fallen into that trance state again, he remained silent, waiting for her to continue. The purple-clothed woman said lightly: "I have traveled around the world, and I have seen countless masters, but you are the first one that I can't see through. I can't see through your strength, and I don't know what I can hide Thanks to you, everything seems to be under your control."

She raised her eyes: "Then, do you dare to bet with me that after this defeat, Tianxingjian will use human blood to refine golden silkworms?" Only the golden silkworm that drank human blood can truly be called the king of ten thousand Gu, and its power is more than double or twice that of the one released by Tian Xingjian.But using living people to refine Gu is an act of great peace, and it is bound to become the public enemy of the righteous way of martial arts.Does the old man Jiuhua not know the serious relationship between them? He sighed softly, his old face was full of tiredness: "I bet."

The girl in purple stared at Old Man Jiuhua, as if two knives were hidden in her eyes, trying to cut open Old Man Jiuhua's heart and see through his true thoughts. In the flickering candlelight, she walked towards old man Jiuhua slowly, Yubai stretched out her palm, and slapped Jiuhua lightly three times, then walked out without saying a word. The old man of Jiuhua is famous all over the world, and the purple-clothed woman is no exception in terms of momentum and demeanor. The old man Jiuhua sighed slightly, fell back to the grand teacher's chair, and fell into a sad trance again.

All the high-rollers are still in the hall, and everyone in Lingjun took out the Jiuhuashan elixir and distributed it to everyone to suppress the poison of the lost soul. Fortunately, Losing Soul Powder only temporarily suppresses the internal breath, rather than completely dissolving it. After a long rest, the internal breath will slowly recover. Xin Tieshi knew that if he didn't leave, he would have no chance. He definitely didn't cherish his own life, if he could, he would rather kneel in front of old man Jiuhua, and let his mentor slaughter and punish him.But now, he couldn't do that, because he managed to find a clue!

Perhaps, the mysterious murderer will close this clue in the next moment, and his plot will never have the slightest flaw. He must seize every minute and every second! He took one last look at the hall, turned around and walked out. Hidden by the spiritual veil, there is a small side door behind the coffin. Not far away is Yaotao's residence. He must find the evidence lost in Yaotao's room in the shortest possible time. Old man Jiuhua was still in a trance, Jiang Yulou and Xun Wujiu stood side by side, looking around, looking for something. Maybe they were looking for him? Xin Tieshi smiled, he could only feel sorry for this best friend who suddenly turned into a woman.But even though she is a woman, he still regards Jiang Yulou as a friend.

A friend who can be entrusted with life and death. The five people in Lingjun are still busy, and the figures of Xuan'er and Hengha have long since disappeared.This little girl is eccentric, not to mention there is Hum Ha protecting her, so nothing will happen to her.Xin Tieshi was not too worried.Jin Yihou was probably still living in his own fantasy, so he also chased him out. Finally, his eyes stopped on the purple clothed woman.Is she really the genius doctor of Hades?Xin Tieshi suddenly felt that she was so strange, as if he had never known her before. His hand rested lightly on the small door, and his strength slowly gathered, like a gust of wind, the small door opened quietly.

At this time, he already had a considerable understanding of Yufeng Jue, and understood the meaning of the outer dantian.But the long-standing habit of using swords for many years is hard to change for a while, so you can only get used to it slowly. Yufeng Jue is a tactic of the heart, and following one's heart's desires is its true meaning. Xin Tieshi has already understood this point, and when he performs it now, the wind will naturally gather in his hands, and he will no longer be jerky like he was when he was just learning it. The guests were all gathered in the mourning hall, and the huge Jiuhua Villa seemed deserted and desolate.The mountain wind howls, although it is early summer and late spring, but you can still feel the condensed chill.The stars in the sky exuded a bleak cold light, pressing heavily on Xin Tieshi's body.

Xin Tieshi looked up to the sky and sighed, and followed the shadow of the wall, sneaking towards the back house. He knows very well that the enemy he will face is extremely powerful and cruel, and his scheming is especially deep and sophisticated, so he never dares to take it lightly. But the villa was heavy, but not even a single figure could be seen. Yaotao's house is right next to Ruohua's residence, a small south-facing house. As soon as he stepped into the yard, Xin Tieshi couldn't help but shed tears again. It was here that Ruohua called him over, and saw the side he had been looking for these past few years.It was here that he poured wine on himself, dying of heartache several times.

It is here that he will always remember Ruohua's death. Can he forget here?Just as he couldn't forget Ruohua. He stood blankly in the sky full of stars, and he seemed to be insane. His hand was pressed against the door, and the door burned his hand like a red-hot iron.After a long time, he pushed open Yaotao's room door with difficulty. The room was dark, and a faint starlight came in through the small window at the end of the house, and shone on the small bed next to the window.Xin Tieshi walked towards the bed drowsily, looking through the things on the bed aimlessly. There was only a futon on the bed and nothing else.Xin Tieshi searched and couldn't find anything, so he got up and walked to the only cabinet in the room. Suddenly, his body bumped into something soft, Xin Tieshi was startled, and suddenly stopped in his tracks, his drowsy thoughts couldn't help clearing up. A string of piercing laughter suddenly erupted in the hut, it was a high-pitched, sharp laughter, like iron scraping and grinding, piercing Xin Tieshi's eardrum sharply. A pair of bright eyes suddenly flashed in front of him, staring straight at him. Xin Tieshi was startled, his internal energy burst out, the Qingyang sword was activated, and a burst of flame burst out, illuminating the whole room brightly! He saw clearly the person sitting in the middle of the room, but he really didn't expect to see her here! Because she was Yaotao, already dead, Yaotao lying in the coffin in the mourning hall! Xin Tieshi said in amazement: "Yaotao? Are you Yaotao?" Yao Tao stared straight at him with big eyes, but didn't even say a word.The string of piercing laughter never stopped. She was dressed in black, and sat in the middle of the room, motionless. Xin Tieshi fell into thoughts of Ruohua again, and was in a trance, so he didn't notice her.At this time, recalling how long she had been sitting in this room, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. But Yaotao is dead, who is she? With the light of the Qingyang Sword, Xin Tieshi observed Yaotao carefully. That's right, except for her somewhat crazy demeanor, she is indeed exactly the same as the Yaotao I saw a few days ago, even the clothes on her body are absolutely the same. Since she was Yaotao, who was the one who died in the coffin? Xin Tieshi suddenly realized that he hadn't seen the corpse in the coffin clearly at all. Looking back at this moment, he was no longer sure that the dead corpse was Yaotao. He really wanted to sneak back to the mourning hall, uncover the coffin, and confirm it again. But he knew that he didn't have this chance, because old man Jiuhua would definitely not let him go easily when he saw him again. Somehow, he seemed to have grasped something.He carefully looked at Yaotao in front of him. Her laughter was loud, but there was no joy in her voice. Her eyes were also wide open, but their eyes were extremely dull. Although she was staring directly at Xin Tieshi's face, Xin Tieshi did not Determine if she has seen herself. This situation was a bit weird, although Xin Tieshi was brave and talented, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, he shouted: "Yaotao! Yaotao!" Suddenly, Yaotao's eyes closed tightly, she shook her head in pain, and shouted: "Don't call me, I have a lot of things to do, Miss is about to leave the cabinet, I have to prepare things to go!" Seeing her strange words, Xin Tieshi felt suspicious, and asked, "What are you going to do?" Yao Tao shook her head vigorously, and said, "I can't say it! I can't say it!" Xin Tieshi was even more suspicious. He grabbed Yaotao's hand, shook it vigorously, and said, "Why can't you tell me? Tell me quickly!" Yao Tao shook her head even faster, but she just repeated the same sentence: "I can't say it! I can't say it!" Suddenly, her body shook violently, her eyes suddenly opened, and she stared fiercely at Xin Tieshi.Under the brilliance of the Qingyang Sword, her pupils shrank violently, and then opened suddenly like tearing apart. A high-pitched scream came from her throat, and then stopped abruptly.All her movements also stopped at this moment! Xin Tieshi was surprised to see the vitality withdraw from her body little by little, and her face turned dead gray at this moment, as if she had been dead for a long time. The ashen color on her face made him think of the corpse in the coffin for no reason. Under the light of the sword, this narrow hut was filled with a strange and ghostly atmosphere! The human voice gradually sounded, and Xin Tieshi knew that the people in the mourning hall were attracted by the scream.He had no time left to search the house. He had no choice but to put down Yaotao's body, and quickly disappeared into the darkness of the villa. Yao Tao's repeated words kept echoing in his ears, what was it that prevented her from speaking?And who is it that threatened her not to speak? Faintly, Xin Tieshi felt that he had taken a step towards the truth, although he still didn't know what the truth was! Xin Tieshi apparently did not expect the reaction from Jiuhua Villa to be so intense. The old man Jiuhua's roar came from Yaotao's house, and Xin Tieshi trembled. It's on his head. Want to go back and argue?He shook his head with a wry smile, knowing that it was useless.Fortunately, he has already recited a lot of grievances, and he doesn't care about one more. What he cares about is what Yaotao said. Apparently, the murderer had threatened her not to tell anyone else. In other words, did the murderer find Yaotao? It would be great if Yaotao didn't die!Yao Tao's terrified eyes immediately floated in his mind, what exactly did she see that made her so scared. Xin Tieshi's head was about to explode, but he still couldn't figure it out.He walked aimlessly. Suddenly, he heard a Qingyue voice say: "Now you have not lost your martial arts, and you are a public enemy of righteousness, you should come back to Xunfu with me." Xun Wujiu? Xin Tieshi couldn't help but clear his mind. He just wanted to step out to say hello to him, when another person said with a smile: "No need, I'm used to walking alone. I haven't died after all these years." It's Jiang Yulou! Xin Tieshi was even more delighted, but he faintly felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to run out so hastily, so he slowed down and was hesitating whether to go out, so he heard Xun Wujiu say: "I know, in your presence In my heart, I will never be as good as Xin Tieshi." Xin Tieshi's heart was shaking violently, and his footsteps stopped immediately. He heard Jiang Yulou's faint and lazy voice: "Since you already knew, you should let me go. I must find him." Xun Wujiu's voice suddenly became agitated: "But what about him? Does he treat you like this? You go to Jiuhua alone for him, and fight against the old man Jiuhua for him, but has he looked at you more?" Jiang Yulou smiled and said, "I never asked him to look at me more!" Xun Wujiu's voice trembled a little: "Don't you see that he always thought you were a man and always regarded you as a friend?" Jiang Yulou also seemed a little disappointed, his voice was misty due to the wind: "I just like this. If he knows that I am a woman, the relationship may not be true." She sighed faintly: "Friends live and die together like this, wouldn't it be better if they were lovers?" There was a bang, as if something was kicked away by Xun Wujiu. I heard him say angrily: "No! I will never allow you to do this!" His handsome face was distorted by extreme impulsiveness, his hands were trembling, and he seemed extremely restless: "You know, since I competed with you for the first time, I can never forget you again. Do you know , When I know you are a daughter, how happy am I? It doesn’t matter if the devil is right, as long as you like me, I will go with you immediately!" Jiang Yulou sighed quietly, and said: "Smelly Stone will never say that he goes to the ends of the world with me, but I just like the peace when I am with him." The word "stinky stone" was originally what she called Xin Tieshi, but when Jiang Yulou said it, it was so sentimental that she couldn't help herself. Xin Tieshi in the forest also seemed crazy when he heard this. He really didn't expect that Jiang Yulou would be so infatuated with him! There were bursts of pain in his heart, wandering around the world, how could he bear this infatuation?He suddenly thought of all the things he had when he made friends with Jiang Yulou back then, and the questions that puzzled him before suddenly became clear now. That Jiang Yulou who likes to take a boat tour of Taihu Lake in the rain. That Jiang Yulou who would rather lose than trample on the Youtan planted by Gu Zhuzi. Jiang Yulou, who is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, values ​​his style more than his sword skills. That Jiang Yulou who is always dressed in white fox fur and not stained with dust. That lazy Jiang Yulou. This Jiang Yulou, the Jiang Yulou of the demon sect, came alone to Mount Jiuhua, where more than a hundred masters of the righteous way gathered, to fight against the old man Jiuhua who was known as the number one master of the righteous way. He was severely injured, but he persisted.What is she for? Xin Tieshi clenched his fists tightly, he was unable to bear all this, because he had lost his last bargaining chip long ago. His people are already in despair, and his heart has long been completely attached to Ruohua. He is powerless to love. Xun Wujiu's breathing became rough, he grabbed Jiang Yulou's shoulder, and said loudly: "Why am I not as good as him? You even gave up your life for him, but you don't even look at me? I...I I don’t even want my life and morals for you!” A gleam of pain flashed in Jiang Yulou's eyes, she naturally understood Xun Wujiu's affection for her. On Jiuhua Mountain, in front of the Tianxing Sword, the moment Xun Wujiu stepped forward, she was indeed very touched, but the touch does not have to be reciprocated, and she only has one heart. A heart that has long promised. So, she smiled lightly: "I know, you can do it, so I must do it too. Who said that we are natural opponents? Let me go, I'm going to find the stinky stone." Xun Wujiu yelled: "No! I won't let you go!" He pressed his hands hard on Jiang Yulou's shoulders, like a drowning man grabbing the last piece of wood. His eyes were full of horror. Although his sword skills are invincible in the world, the name of the Xun Mansion has shielded him from all the storms in the world, and he has not received many real challenges.In terms of emotions, he is still an unworldly child. His demeanor is unparalleled in the world, his articles, his calligraphy and paintings are all unrivaled for a time, every time the light marks of the Liuyue knife slide across the sky, he is more dazzling than the bright moon that day, how many daughters in the world are infatuated with him in the past . But it is precisely such a good son in troubled times who grew up in the strictest and harshest education. His father was not worried about whether he could become a master of martial arts, but he wanted him to be a hero admired by everyone.Therefore, the morality of the martial arts, the morality of scholars, the morality of state officials... as long as there is, he must bear it. In his seemingly smooth life, he has never experienced the slightest thing about love. Even in front of him, no one will mention the slightest personal relationship between children, and no one will teach him what love is and how to do it.It's not that those highly respected elders deliberately avoided this point, it's just that they think it's just an insignificant detail. This just gave Xun Wujiu a rare freedom. For a long time, Xun Wujiu has followed these almost harsh requirements meticulously, step by step towards the almost perfect standard of his father's generation. No one knows that he has his own obsession precisely on the neglected word "love".Although, he never mentioned this attachment to anyone. He only believes that if one day he falls in love with someone, he will love vigorously, can sacrifice, and can die, but he doesn't know about other things, and he doesn't want to care about them. Just like those prodigal sons in the scrolls, one day, the blood hidden deep in his heart will not flow for his family and country, nor for chivalry. Sprinkle only for those you love. Every time in the dead of night, when he thinks of this moment by chance, there will be a rare wave in his heart, which cannot be calmed down for a long time. He thought that this was just an unrealistic dream, and he would never have such a chance.He will step by step fulfill the perfect life that his parents have arranged for him, defend his family and the country, act as a chivalrous man, from a young man to a great man, to a famous man, and finally become a master of the martial arts world. Just like Xie Yue, just like old man Jiuhua. When his life comes to an end, countless people will shed tears for him.There are people who appreciate his kindness, some regard him as a disciple of Taishan Beidou, there are virtuous wives who accompany him all his life, and there are children who are filial to their beds. But, at that time, would there be any regrets in his heart? In his life, he had done countless earth-shattering things, but none of them were done for himself. In his life, he has shed countless blood, but not once, for love. Whenever he thinks of this, he can't help but envy his good friend Xin Tieshi. Xin Tieshi is not as good as him in appearance, knowledge, manners, and even martial arts, but he lives so free and happy, without having to bear so many responsibilities. But he can't be Xin Tieshi.Born into a famous family and regarded as the hope of the righteous way, he can only shoulder these responsibilities, whether he wants to or not. He had already accepted all of this, thinking that his life would be spent in such a glorious and boring way. Until he saw Jiang Yulou for the first time. His heartstrings vibrated. The same sword technique that is invincible in the world, and the same unparalleled demeanor.Even after his martial arts advanced rapidly and surpassed Jiang Yulou, he deliberately only performed martial arts of the same level as Jiang Yulou. Because he wants to maintain this legend. There are not many truly beautiful legends in the Jianghu, and it is Xun Wujiu's dream to keep their legends alive. Therefore, when he tore off Jiang Yulou's fox fur in a fight and knew her true face in Lushan, he fell in love with her as a matter of course. He felt that this miracle was an instruction from heaven. Let him have a chance to realize the dream in his heart. Loving someone seriously, freely, and indulgently. Bleeding once for her, once willful for her, once crazy for her. So, under the watchful eyes of the elders of the righteous way, he rescued Jiang Yulou, who was in the devil's sect and was full of sins, regardless of the distinction between good and evil. When he saw the surprise, regret and disappointment on the faces of these righteous elders, he couldn't help but feel a rebellious joy in his heart. Only at that moment, he was no longer the decent number one young man who followed the rules and had a bright future. He is Xun Wujiu. that is it. This was the best realization of the dream in his heart, but it's a pity that Jiang Yulou loves Xin Tieshi. Xin Tieshi is bold, likes to make friends, and is unrestrained and unrestrained. But Xun Wujiu did not give up, because he was confident that Jiang Yulou would be moved by him.But for Jiuhua and his party, his confidence collapsed. Because, he saw Jiang Yulou's outrageous determination with his own eyes, and he also knew how unbreakable the feeling of living and dying together is. Therefore, once he let go of these hands, he would no longer be able to hold Jiang Yulou. Jiang Yulou didn't struggle, she just looked at Xun Wujiu quietly, under this silent gaze, Xun Wujiu's trembling became more and more intense! He suddenly mourned: "If you leave, this is the battlefield for our decisive battle!" Liu Yuedao's cold brilliance suddenly bloomed on his chest, he took a step back, and grabbed the knife that depended on him. But Jiang Yulou's eyes still didn't change at all, Xun Wujiu's heart tightened, and he said word by word: "Do you know? I have already practiced the most powerful 'Bicheng Twelve' in Liuyue Knife, You will never be able to escape, follow me back to the Xun Mansion." Jiang Yulou smiled lightly, and said: "Death and life are in harmony, tell Zicheng, do you understand the meaning of this sentence?" She stopped looking at Xun Wujiu, turned around and walked towards Jiuhua Villa.Although her steps were slow, they were extremely firm, because her heart had already made a promise. Just hearing the sound of "Zheng", like a dragon's chant coming from the distant sky, accompanied by the sound of Xiao Shu's wind coming from the sky and the earth, Jiang Yulou suddenly had the illusion that a huge moon was slowly rising behind her.She could even feel the purest and cleanest moonlight hitting her back like a thunderbolt, about to penetrate her and burn her soul, but she still didn't turn her head back, and her steps didn't have the slightest disorder. The heart that has promised will no longer hesitate. She knows the power of "Bicheng Twelve", and also knows how terrifying it would be to perform this move with the Xunfu family's Liuyue knife, but she will not look back, just as she cannot cut her heart in half . Her body gradually turned around the rock, and she was out of sight.With a bang, Liu Yuedao hit the ground, "Bicheng Twelve" counterattacked itself with enormous power, and the slender blade of Liu Yuedao broke from the break. A stream of tears fell down Xun Wujiu's handsome and pale face, he held the half of the blade tightly, his knuckles also turned pale from the force. He said word by word: "Why don't I understand? I understand!"
