Chapter 23 Chapter 23

A crimson light suddenly lit up, shot out from the bottom of the grave like cold electricity, and hit the black shadow head-on!The black shadow seemed to be slightly taken aback, and it floated up like flying flowers and falling snow, avoiding the attack of the red light.The shadow seems to be weightless, floating in the forest.At this moment, several faint white lights penetrated horizontally without a sound, completely sealing off the black shadow's back path. Blood Shadow Needle. The unparalleled Blood Shadow Needle. Nie Yinniang stood under the moonlight, the tears in her eyes had cooled down, and there was no trace of sadness on her face, only calmness, determination, and confidence that she could win with one blow.

Opposite her, stood Liu Yi.The white clothes on his body were completely stained red with blood, and from his ribs and back, a long sword mark seemed to split him completely.However, he is not dead yet, and he can still use his strongest move! In an instant, the black shadow was firmly surrounded by red light and white shadows, and he could no longer escape!The black figure seemed to understand the opponent's trick, and let out a sneer, turning around out of nowhere, and pulling it towards the top of the forest. At this moment, a fierce sword light cut through the air! The sword light all over the sky formed countless purple lotuses, which bloomed above the maple forest.The sword energy is pressing, and the red leaves are falling like rain. That sword is so simple, there is no change in the slightest, but from the sky to the earth, the vegetation, the earth, the rocks, all living beings, seem to be split by this sword!

red line. The red-lined purple pupils became extremely thin under the moonlight, reflecting each other with the sword in the palm, from top to bottom, they flew towards the black shadow! Amidst the mottled sword light, Hei Ying suddenly raised his head. Unexpectedly, Hei Ying raised his sleeves, as if raising an extremely soft object, and greeted the red line's long sword vigorously. The red line of sword light spurred it on, and a sneer slowly emerged from the corner of her mouth—she seemed to have smelled the breath of death, coming from the opponent's chest. No matter what that person is holding in his hand, it can't block her sword, absolutely not!

With a soft puff sound, the long sword had pierced into the thing, and the sword's momentum was slightly stagnant.The red thread's eyes, which were as thin as a cat's eye, shrank suddenly. The object was extremely soft, but there was an extremely feminine, but extremely powerful internal force from it, which completely blocked the red thread's sword energy, and could not enter further. This kind of obstruction has never been encountered since her swordsmanship became great. In the depths of the red-lined purple eyes, the divine light dances. It has always been her principle to be stronger when she encounters the strong, and the powerful strength of the opponent has aroused her desire to win.The wrist of the red thread sank, and the internal force was activated, and the whole body's true energy was pressed upwards, trying to forcefully pierce the thing in front of it!

That femininity has become more and more powerful, and it just competes with her.Under the pressure of the two forces, Wenlong's sword bent slowly until it reached an angle that could no longer be bent, like a vibrating ring that might break at any time! The purple light in Hongxian's eyes was extremely bright, and with a roar of anger, he stabbed out with all his strength, without leaving any internal energy to protect his body! At this moment, Liu Yi's coral light and Nie Yinniang's blood shadow needle also followed. The sleeve of the black shadow robe fluttered, one hand resisted the red line's sword, and the other hand grabbed the coral light and the blood shadow needle. The black shadow was attacked on the back and back, and was slightly distracted, the red line sword energy took the opportunity to pounce down!

The dragons chant endlessly all around, the colorful lights fluttered, the red leaves fluttered, and several groups of forces collided together and exploded suddenly!Every flying maple leaf was shattered into dust and scattered all over the ground.Even the moonlight in the sky seemed to have been shattered, only to be regathered by the night wind. Liu Yi and Nie Yinniang were completely blown away by the force of the explosion and fell into the broken leaves. Hong Xian was also urged by this energy, and retreated three feet before standing still.She held her long sword aloft, and on the tip of the sword was a broken doll.The grass clippings used to fill the doll have been scattered, leaving only an empty skin, and the portraits painted on it are also broken and can no longer be seen clearly.

The red and purple eyes turned, and her gaze stayed on the doll for a long time. She didn't look at the portrait on the doll, but was only shocked by the opponent's strength. A rag doll actually blocked her sword that seemed to open up the world. Nie Yinniang and Liu Yi were also shocked, and couldn't help but raise their heads to look at the black shadow. "It's you?" Nie Yinniang couldn't help but exclaimed even though she had been prepared. The all-conquering sword energy of the red line did not completely fail after all, it tore away the long veil of the black shadow, revealing the original appearance of the black shadow.

Under the black veil, there is a brown hair and a face as pale as paper.That face still looked beautiful and moving, but there was an air of dying that couldn't be concealed.Horrified, it was the little girl holding a doll they first saw in Shura Town. She looked at the three of them, her eyes were so old, as if an old man who had reached the end of his life was staring indifferently at the bustling people downstairs from the window of the attic. However, her face looked extremely young, as if she was only eleven or twelve years old, even younger than when Nie Yinniang first saw her. Liu Yi covered the wound on his chest, and said with a faint smile: "Who would have thought that the orphan girl wandering in the small town turned out to be the all-powerful legendary master." He shook his head, and said again: "The so-called your deceased father—that is, The man who was buried in the ant nest should be the prefect of Nanke, right? A dream of prosperity under the locust tree is nothing but an ant nest illusion. This is the end of the legend. The person who put the corpse must be you. We should have suspected this, but his death method was so unusual that we didn't think of it for a while. When we realized it and wanted to check the corpse, we had already been burned by Pei Hang clean."

The girl smiled faintly: "Pei Hang, the worst assassin in the legend, has lived up to my expectations." Nie Yinniang frowned, as if thinking of something: "Based on your behavior, you should have just secretly helped the Kunlun slaves to complete the killing round, and didn't come forward directly. Perhaps the prefect of Nanke has never seen your original appearance, so the original inn What the boss said about 'father and daughter come to the town to find relatives' is also false?" The girl smiled and said: "He just took my money and memorized that passage. It's a pity that he memorized it too well, which completely exceeded the ability of a small town boss to respond to panic, and made me fail several times. I almost couldn't help but make a move to end his lame chatter... Fortunately, Pei Hang didn't see it. In fact, this game is not without flaws, it's just that you are too immersed in it to see through it."

Nie Yinniang and Liu Yi recalled the days when they came to Xiuluo Town, all kinds of clues flooded into their minds, and the opportunities to solve the mystery passed by them time and time again, and they were unintentionally let go.Now, they finally approached the truth again, but the price they paid was so painful! Liu Yi was speechless for a while, and then sighed after a long time: "You're right. If we get the beginning wrong, we can never miss the ending again." He stared at the little girl, and said word by word: "Now, we should call you Master, Legendary Master , or... Bu Feiyan?"

As he spoke, he threw a picture made up of eleven tattoos onto the ground. "The thirteenth tattoo is from Huangfu Mei's "Biography of Feiyan". Bu Feiyan was originally the concubine of Henan Gongcao who joined the army Wu Gongye. Later, because he fell in love with the scholar Zhao Xiang, he was discovered by Wu Gongye and whipped to death. The tattoo is painted Yes, it was supposed to be the scene where Feiyan was waiting for his lover in the garden, and the corner of the man's clothes under the window sill did not belong to the Kunlun slave, but to Zhao Xiang." Liu Yi shook his head: "We are powerless to put on makeup and lean on the embroidered sill, and we secretly write about cicadas brooding and thinking about it. Recently, I have suffered from a spring injury, and Liu Ruohua is shy of Xiaofeng. If you hadn't inscribed this song on the tattoo on the red thread Poetry, I am also very hard to be sure. The thirteenth tattoo was originally from "Feiyan Biography". What I don't understand is that this story has nothing to do with you. Why did you choose it? Could it be that you just like the woman in the legend? " The master said indifferently: "Maybe I just like the word 'Bu Feiyan'." Several people were speechless for a while. This hidden tattoo, for which countless people have given their lives, is nothing but a story she chooses at random.If it wasn't for the red line's sword energy that tore her veil just now, even if she knew the content of "The Legend of Feiyan", she still wouldn't know her original appearance - because she has nothing to do with the legendary Bu Feiyan. What she likes is just a name. Perhaps, this well-designed killing game itself is just a randomly selected game. However, one game is enough to make them panic and panic. In front of it, all selfishness, suspicion, jealousy, betrayal, and all ugliness are invisible. Before it, all resolution, courage, wisdom, trust, all virtues, are so ridiculous. Give wholeheartedly, and all you get is a joke, because the strength of the joker exceeds your limit, and everything about you is stupid. Or maybe, the unsolvable puzzles and legends in history are just games chosen by the gods by chance. It's just that human beings are so self-inflicted that they are willing to spend thousands of years of hard thinking. The master had a condescending smile on his face, and glanced over the faces of the three of them one by one, saying: "Red Line, Nie Yinniang, Liu Yi... are indeed the best legends, you have exceeded my expectations." Throwing the black gauze to the side, lightly straightening the hair, said: "How did you do this step?" Liu Yi was silent for a moment, then said: "Yesterday when you killed Hong Niang, we were not hypnotized by the sound of the flute. , we both pretended to be asleep, in order to find out your secret from what you said to the matchmaker." The master smiled and praised: "Very good. The matchmaker must have come up with this plan." She shook her head and sighed slightly: "Actually, I also know that after she killed Mr. Xingyang, she wanted to die. So you were willing to sacrifice yourself to lure me out. I just didn't expect that your hearts could be so hard, and you actually pretended to be asleep all the time, and watched her endure the torture all night." Nie Yinniang shook her head, her voice was sad and angry: "Because that was the atonement she chose. In fact, although she pretended to be her own sister, she was always confused... She must have felt it beforehand. That's why we repeatedly told us that no matter what we hear, we must not reveal it, and we must not prevent anything from happening." "Several times, I couldn't help but want to jump up from the ground to stop you from carrying out the torture, but I still didn't. Because if I did this, I would have failed the matchmaker's trust in us and the pain she had endured." She stared at her master and said word by word: "It's just that I swear, I will avenge her!" The master looked at her and nodded slightly: "It's been so many years, and I saw the anger and hatred in your eyes again. This is what I admire the most about you. That day, when I saw your desperate expression leaning on the willow tree, I was very disappointed, so disappointed that my heart ached." She smiled a little approvingly: "Now, I finally understand that it was just part of your plan, very good, very good... I never watched it. It's your fault." Before Nie Yinniang could answer, Liu Yi interrupted her and said, "We know at least one thing. Five years ago, you were poisoned by Hongniang Yaoji Pill. This kind of poison is absolutely incurable. The resurrected Yunmeng Chenxiang can be temporarily restrained. With your strength, you may be able to find Yunmeng Chenxiang, but you have to pay a painful price - your body will shrink day by day until it looks like a ten-year-old child, and then your whole body will be full of vitality. The blood dries up and dies. This kind of rejuvenation requires the compression of bones and muscles, and the pain you endure must be no less painful than Hong Niang and Huo Xiaoyu." The master nodded and said: "You guys think right. Now, I look like I'm only eleven or twelve years old, which means that I won't have more than three months left." Liu Yi said: "I know that you know how to transmit sound through armor, and our conversation is likely to be heard by you, so I played a play with Nie Yinniang. We invited the red thread to fight underwater. Right at the bottom of the river, I persuaded Let her join us. Although your Dunjia sound transmission technique is strong, it is absolutely impossible to use it underwater. What's more..." There was some warmth in his smile: "What's more, the way of talking in circles was agreed upon when we were young on the small island, and it belongs only to us." The moonlight, like many years ago, was gently shining beside him, washing his white clothes spotlessly, revealing a kind of pulsating halo. The island of fire sounds so hot and unbearable, but it is actually shrouded in ice and snow all year round. Ten years ago, the moon was shining brightly, thousands of miles of cold light reflected from the snow, and swayed gently with the dark sea waves. A solitary cliff more than ten meters high stretched out from the coast like an arm. A girl in purple knelt in the snow on the edge of the cliff for an unknown amount of time. The falling snowflakes dyed her hair white. Her body is like a stone statue, hard and persistent. The younger brothers and younger sisters whispered: "She has been punished again." The brothers and sisters shook their heads secretly: "Her posture for holding the sword is always wrong." The master said contemptuously that if you hold the sword like this, the moment the sword is drawn, the tip of the sword will inadvertently tilt. If you continue like this, you will never be a first-class swordsman. At this time, the girl in purple only tightly closed her thin lips, neither arguing nor correcting. So, she often knelt in the snow all night long, looking at the distant sea waves.No one knew what was going on in her young heart. The sky and sea waves are blue and black, only a solitary moon hangs abruptly in the sky, and a few startled seabirds make mournful long calls. This scene is not beautiful, but it is enough to make people unforgettable forever. Another boy in white kneeling not far away was secretly looking over here. He is the future Liu Yi, who was also punished by the master, and had to kneel here for a whole night. No one knew that he deliberately smashed the poison prepared by Master, because he was very curious about what this little girl was doing on the seaside in the dead of night. Could it be that she was so stubborn and willing to be punished again and again because of the incredible sights she could see on Siguo Cliff at night? The moon was already in the middle of the sky, and the cold wind made Xiao Liuyi tremble all over. Hunger and fatigue hit him alternately. He hugged his thin clothes, feeling a little regretful in his heart. It would be nice to dream in my own little wooden bed, not to mention the cruel training tomorrow - each person must swim several miles away to the Liuli Island to retrieve a clam pearl the size of a pigeon egg. There are eight-legged giants, white sharks, and various sea monsters in that sea area. If you stay up all night, you will be in a trance tomorrow.And a little trance can mean injury and death. Death is the most common thing on Fire Island, and they can see their dead companions being thrown into the sea every month. He took great risks to investigate on the cliff, but the girl in purple just knelt quietly in the snow, motionless! He couldn't help being very disappointed. He finally couldn't help it, and started talking to the girl: "Why do you come here often, is there anything interesting here?" Under the ice and snow, the girl in purple seemed to give him a cold look, but she didn't seem to. Liu Yi wanted to ask another question, but found that the master was standing in front of him with an angry face. This sentence brought disaster to Liu Yi. When punished to kneel, it is absolutely forbidden to talk.Therefore, the penalty period was extended to one month. In mid-January, Liu Yi gradually learned to sleep on his knees, but there were times when he was woken up by the cold wind and bored.So, he invented a new way to talk to the girl in purple. He writes on the snow. At the beginning, he still wrote every word neatly and completely, waiting for the purple-clothed girl to answer, but the purple-clothed girl just looked at him coldly, Liu Yi had no choice but to erase and write again. Later, he found that the girl didn't seem to respond at all, so he couldn't help writing more and more sloppy.He couldn't help cursing in his heart, is this girl a stone, dumb, or simply illiterate? Later, he just drew circles one by one. Anyway, it's just to relieve boredom, anyway, it's just for myself to read... The master's cold voice dragged Liu Yi from memory back to reality: "Does she understand?" "Yes," Liu Yi nodded and smiled, "Actually—" His voice showed a rare tenderness: "Actually, she has always understood." His eyes turned to his master: "Then I fought the red line according to the plan, and pretended to be a dead person for three hours. According to the tattoos, I should have been killed by a dragon in the water, so I concluded that you will show up to take my body Move to Jiaolongtan in King Huo's Mansion, and rearrange it again." The master smiled and said, "That's right, but let alone pretending to be dead, even Wang Xianke's tortoise breath technique can't fool my eyes. When Nie Yinniang pricked your acupuncture points, I was not far away, and I will never allow you to fake it. Surely you Did you take some breath-severing medicine?" Liu Yi said: "It's the matchmaker's repayment pill." The master looked at the river and said with a smile: "Sure enough. If it was a month ago, such a trick would never have escaped my eyes, but now, the muscle pill has begun to damage my mind and energy." There was some tiredness on her face. Meaning: "I'm really too persistent. I'm so obsessed with writing every ending so perfectly. In fact, it's better to finish the book earlier, because I'm so tired..." She sighed softly, and the hair was in a bun. She pulled out a short sword from her chest, and slowly stretched it out until it became a three-foot-long look, flowing continuously in her hand. She turned her head and smiled at the red thread: "Ten years ago, from the moment I taught you the sword technique, I knew that you would be the first person to force me to use a sword in twenty years." With a soft sound, the long sword in her hand unfolded like flowing water, and the moonlight slowly flowed over the sword, as if nourished by the moonlight, the long sword let out a dragon chant, and it bloomed like a white lotus in the demon night. "The name of this sword is 'Tianhe'. When I was twenty-five years old, I used it to fight against the leader of the Demon Cult. After the first battle, it has been sealed by me." She smiled lightly: "Unexpectedly, I will use it in the end It comes to end this saga I have written with my own hands." As soon as she finished speaking, the long sword in her hand suddenly swung across, and the light of the sword flew down like a waterfall. Everyone felt a blur in front of their eyes, and a dazzling white light rose from her hand, soaring straight into the sky like a dragon, and then falling down like a river of stars. , rolling up thousands of points of silver light, and caving down all the way! The silver light splashed like water, piercing through the dancing red leaves around.The cold wind howled all around, it was really like being under a huge waterfall, even the body shape would be blown down by the water vapor! Red Line stared at the sword light, the purple light in his eyes gradually burned, and finally became scorching hot! This is the look that a top swordsman has when he sees another top swordsman. This is admiration, appreciation, gratification, and the arrogance of not succumbing to others! Hong Xian held the long sword in both hands, jumped up high, and slashed at the falling galaxy with all his strength! The Milky Way was turbulent, and the red lined clothes were torn apart by the splashing silver light, but the long sword in her hand was still as stable as a rock—even if there was really a star river falling from the nine heavens in front of her, she would have to split it completely! The master held the sword in one hand, standing still in the strong wind, her brown hair was blown up by Lie Lie, but her expression did not change at all, and she said indifferently: "This move is called 'Dancing in the World', it is your fifteen I passed it on to you when I was 9 years old. You can practice it to this level, which is far beyond what I thought." She sighed softly, "However, you still can't beat me." The sword trembled slightly, and a very bright light shot out from the tip of the sword, spinning away in the air instantly, the red thread felt a stagnation in his chest, and the long sword was forced away. The red line roared angrily, with the help of its toes on the maple leaf, it turned around, from top to bottom, and rushed towards Tianhe Sword again! With a soft swish sound, the master's sword moved obliquely, and the Tianhe sword suddenly turned into flowing water. It was extremely soft, but also extremely agile. It was gently wiped across the red line of the sword, and the two swords met, sparking sparks all over the sky. , Attacking the space under the red line rib. Hongxian gritted her teeth fiercely, regardless of her disadvantaged sword moves, she pressed her with all her strength, and the rising sparks were instantly extinguished by her strength, and the surrounding Luofeng even burst into blossoms, even the master's hand holding the sword could not help but Trembling slightly. The master praised: "This move 'Ye Luo Dong Ting' is originally an extremely feminine sword move, but you turned softness into steel and forced force under the disadvantage, so that the opponent's remaining changes cannot be used. It has broken through my teaching." Hongxian gritted his teeth and didn't answer, the purple light in his eyes became more intense, he jumped up suddenly, avoiding the envelop of Tianhe sword, and slashed at the top of his master's head. The master looked at her, smiled faintly, let go of his hand suddenly, the Tianhe sword seemed to flow by itself, and spread out, turning into a halo, guarding above her head, the red line sword has used up its power, but it will never Change the trick, still press down with all your strength! The master smiled and said: "Fifteen years ago, I only taught you three moves of swordsmanship. 'Feilong Yin' was the last move, and also your strongest move. Although the three moves are few, they are enough. It must be so far. , no one can force you to make this move. However..." The smile on her face turned cold, and a sharp cold light appeared in her eyes, she suddenly reached out her hand, and tapped into the rotating light wheel, and the fast-spinning light wheel instantly returned to normal. It was a long sword that she held firmly in her hand. With a muffled pop, the restored Tianhe sword thrust out at an incredible speed, and then retracted. The sky was full of blood, Hong Xian let out a muffled grunt, and took seven steps back, but still couldn't stand still, she yelled angrily, and thrust her long sword into the ground with all her strength.The dragon chanted, and the long sword was deeply inserted into the soil. She leaned on the sword and barely supported her body. Maple falls like rain. Blood dripped from her palm, staining Wenlong's sword with bloodstains. Her right thumb had been cut off by her master, Qi Gen. The master finished what he had just said lightly: "However... from now on, you can no longer use a sword. This is your punishment for betraying me." Hongxian stared at the blood on Wenlong's sword, without a trace of expression on his face.The fallen leaves danced wildly and piled up on her body one by one, but she remained motionless. The master looked at her for a long time, and finally sighed: "The sword is your soul, maybe, I shouldn't humiliate such a swordsman like this." "I still love you guys after all..." She slowly raised the Tianhe sword in her hand. "It's better to give you relief." The tip of the sword was slightly slanted, and the silver light poured from the bottom of her wrist slowly, like a section of galaxy thrown by the grandson of heaven. The red-lined purple eyes raised up, but they had lost the divine light just now.It seemed that her soul also meandered down with the bloodstain and buried it in the soil. In the eyes of a swordsman who can't use a sword, what else is there to cherish? Everything is nothing but nothingness before death. 〖The Legend of Nanke Taishou Dongping Chunyu Fen was a knight-errant who was fond of wine and spirits. In his house there was a big ancient locust tree with long and slender branches and several acres of green shade.On Chunyu Fen's birthday, he drank with his friends under the tree and felt intoxicated.After all his friends had left, he was drunk and lying alone under the locust tree. In a trance, he saw two men in purple clothes, saying that the king of Huai'an Kingdom had invited him.Chunyu Fen went out with the two of them and entered the Dahuai Cave.Chunyu Fen felt a little surprised, but didn't dare to ask.I saw that there are mountains, rivers, weather, vegetation, and roads in the cave, but they are somewhat different from the human world.After walking for more than ten miles, he came to the city, entered the palace, and met the king of Huai'an Kingdom. The king gave him his second daughter, Princess Jinzhi Yaofang, as his wife. live down. Later, under the suggestion of the princess, official Chunyu Fen paid homage to the prefect of Nanke, practiced benevolent government, and the people supported him.The king was overjoyed and became even more official.The husband and wife gave birth to five sons and two daughters. The sons were all appointed high-ranking officials, and the daughters were all married into the royal family.Later, the princess died of an illness, and Chunyu Fen became acquainted with him widely, so he was suspected of being a master of high meritorious deeds.The king was a little afraid of his rebellion, so he dismissed his guards and forbade him to make friends with Qing customers.Chunyufen felt a little resentful, and the queen said to him: "You've been away from home for too long, you'd better go back." So Chunyu Fen suddenly remembered what happened in the past, and saw the two men in purple clothes coming to see him out of Huai Cave again.The two suddenly shouted, Chunyu Fen woke up startled, and saw that he was still lying under the locust tree, the sun had not yet set. Chunyu Fen felt strange, so he searched for Huai Anguo according to his memory, and found that there was an ant nest under the locust tree in the courtyard, and there were palaces, cities, etc. piled up in the hole, and then he suddenly realized that the Huai Anguo he saw in his dream, In fact, it is an ant nest; and the branch to the south of the locust tree is the Nanke County where he was the prefect. Chunyufen thought of everything about Nanke in his dream, and felt that the world was impermanent, and the so-called wealth and fame could easily disappear, so he converted to Buddhism soon after. Feiyan Case: Although this chapter is titled "Bu Feiyan", the legend written by the master has nothing to do with Tang Dynasty's "Feiyan Biography", so the translation of "Feiyan Biography" is not listed, and "Nanke Taishou Biography" is attached here . 〗
