Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty-six

Su Rongrong couldn't help asking again: "Why?" Chu Liuxiang said: "He knows that I am at the end of my strength and is confident that I will win, so he can overwhelm me with arrogance. But if he finds that he has been fooled, his aura will be weak, and my aura can overwhelm him. At that time, the number of winners and losers is hard to predict, how can this kind of person fight an uncertain battle? I guess he would rather walk away than turn back." He continued with a smile: "The battle between masters is just like the confrontation between two armies. The momentum must not be weakened. During the Warring States period, Cao GUI, the general of Lu, said it well: "When a man fights, he has courage. If he fights vigorously, he will decline again. If he exhausts himself three times, he exhausts us." Ying, so restrain it.' Because he understood this truth, he was able to defeat the crowd with the few and was invincible."

Su Rongrong smiled sweetly, and said, "Just because you, Chu Xiangshuai, understand this truth, you can use the weak to defeat the strong every time, turning danger into good luck." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "I'm so pleased, but if you hadn't come in time, I still wouldn't be able to recite the mantra." Su Rongrong said: "But you really can hold your breath. Seeing you so relaxed and happy just now, even I almost thought that I really had a rainstorm pear blossom nail on my hand." Chu Liuxiang sighed, and said: "You see, I'm very relaxed and happy, but in fact, I'm so nervous. With my physical strength and spirit today, I really don't even have a single point of confidence in fighting him."

Su Rongrong stared at him, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes, and said, "How confident are you when you fight against him?" Chu Liuxiang was silent for a while, then smiled slightly, and said, "I didn't have much confidence in fighting Shi Guanyin, but I still defeated her." Until then, the nun in Tsing Yi slowly stood up from the corpse covered with yellow veil. Chu Liuxiang had been paying attention to her all the time, but he knew that when a woman was really grieving, she would never be willing to be disturbed. Yicai didn't speak to her all this time, so that she could cry quietly.If someone dissuades a woman from crying, she will never stop crying.

The nun in Tsing Yi had stopped crying, her pale face seemed a little swollen, she turned to face Chu Liuxiang, and suddenly said, "I want to ask you something." Her voice was stiff and slow, as if she was not used to speaking. Su Rongrong and Chu Liuxiang were taken aback. I don't know why the Tsing Yi nun, who had always been deaf and dumb, could suddenly speak. Could it be that she was also like Li Guanyu, because of her extreme agitation, her qi cleared the barrier to listening? Chu Liuxiang hurriedly responded loudly: "Please tell me." The nun in Tsing Yi glanced at Su Rongrong, and said, "I know you must all be very surprised. You can't guess who 'he' is? Why do you keep hiding and don't want to see people?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "Everyone has their own secrets, and no one has the right to interfere." The nun in Tsing Yi nodded slowly, and said: "Now I just beg you, never explore this secret, never uncover this yellow veil, never let anyone see him." Chu Liuxiang didn't even think about it, and immediately said: "I can assure you that none of my friends likes to spy on people's privacy." The nun in Tsing Yi let out a long breath, looked up at the sky, lost her mind for a while, and said slowly: "You are a gentleman, I can trust you, after I die, I hope you will cremate both of us immediately, and then we will be cremated again." Our ashes were scattered in the stream that flows to the Shenshui Palace."

A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she continued: "In this way, although we cannot return to the Shenshui Palace while we are alive, we can always go back after we die." A smile appeared on her cold, swollen, and painful face. The smile seemed strange, mysterious, and frightening indeed. Chu Liuxiang couldn't help shivering, and said with emotion: "Master, do you want to..." The nun in Tsing Yi waved his hand to interrupt his words, and said sadly: "I have never met you before, I entrusted this kind of thing to you when we first met, just because I believe you are an honest gentleman, although I can't repay you in this life, But I will definitely protect your well-being in the dark."

This kind of words may be just empty talk to others, but when it comes out of her mouth, it has a mysterious power, which makes people feel as if they are making a deal with a ghost. Chu Liuxiang stopped talking. Because he knew that no one could change her determination. The nun in Tsing Yi clasped her hands together, bowed in salute, pronounced the Buddha's name, and turned around slowly. Chu Liuxiang didn't see any movement from her, she had already fallen down. On the yellow-veiled corpse. Chu Liuxiang sighed long and bowed in salute. Su Rongrong's eyes were filled with tears, she rubbed her eyes and said, "It seems that this master is also a lover."

Suddenly, Hu Tiehua let out a long sigh, and said, "Hey! When did you come? Where is he?" The "you" he said was naturally Su Rongrong, and the "he" was the black robe. Su Rongrong was stunned and said, "Didn't you see it?" Hu Tiehua said blankly: "I...I..." Cold sweat broke out on his head again, and he said in a low voice, "What's going on? Why did I suddenly have a dream?" Chu Liuxiang said slowly: "It's because you are dreaming, so I have never dared to disturb you. Now that you have woken up from the dream, forget about the things in the dream!"

You must know that Hu Tiehua's mind was frightened just now, and he is almost an empty body, and there is not much left. If he is disturbed, his true energy will be distracted, and he will inevitably go crazy. If he doesn't forget this matter, he will inevitably lose self-confidence when he fights with others in the future. If the person who uses martial arts loses self-confidence, there will not be many left.Hu Tiehua didn't understand this truth, and he couldn't help dripping down with cold sweat. Chu Liuxiang stared at him, and after a while, said softly: "Have you forgotten now?"

Hu Tiehua remained silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled up to the sky and said, "I forgot." Covering the body with dead branches and leaves, Chu Liuxiang lit a fire. All the secrets will disappear immediately with the fire. Hu Tiehua looked at the body that was always covered by the yellow veil, and couldn't help but murmured: "Who is this person? Is this Tsing Yi nun's junior sister? Or her lover? It's only because his appearance was destroyed that he is here. Hiding and not daring to see people?" Su Rongrong wanted to say something, but didn't say it.

Just now, the corner of the yellow mantle was blown up by the wind, and she seemed to see this man's hand. It seemed that it didn't look like a human hand, but the claws of a beast, with long nails growing on it and some black hairs. Could it be that what Tsing Yi Ni is so attached to is just a psychic beast? Between "love" and "evil", sometimes there is only a thin line between them. But Su Rongrong not only didn't dare to say it, she didn't even dare to think about it. What's more, people's hands sometimes grow black hair. Fire, start to burn. The secret was lost in the fire, lost forever. Su Rongrong always left a mystery in her heart. Yidianhong and Qu Wurong left again, no one could keep them, because they were born and grew up in solitude. Only the lonely life is what they like. The only thing that comforts Chu Liuxiang is that these two lonely people have joined together. Dai Duxing insisted on giving them a ride, because Dai Duxing was also lonely all his life, and only he could understand that lonely people often have a fiery heart. What about Huang Luzhi?He is determined to find the body of the male lady in that stream. Their friendship is unshakable, and life and death are not easy. Chu Liuxiang handed over Tsing Yi Ni's ashes to him, because he is also a trustworthy person, no matter who makes a friend like Huang Luzhi, it is a very lucky thing. Song Tian'er kept pouting and complaining, because she fell asleep for a while and missed a lot of "hustle and bustle", and she always felt very unhappy. Su Rongrong comforted her: "Although you missed many things, it's better not to see some things." However, Li Hongxiu was telling Chu Liuxiang what happened during the trip: "In the middle of the journey, Liu Wumei's poison suddenly flared up again, so she couldn't make the trip, so Li Yuhan stayed with her, and they recuperated in a woodcutter's hut." Chu Liuxiang naturally knew that Liu Wumei was not "sick" but "fearful". She knew her secret would be exposed, so how dare she come to see Chu Liuxiang? Li Hongxiu moved, "You mean, Liu Wumei wasn't poisoned at all, she lured you to Shenshui Palace just to avenge Shi Guanyin?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Exactly." Li Hongxiu said: "In this case, she will never dare to stay in that woodcutter's house again, why should we make another trip?" Chu Liuxiang sighed: "We are not the only ones who have been deceived, Li Yuhan is also there. I want to find him anyway." They arrived there soon, and saw two small wooden houses at the foot of the mountain next to the jungle. A woodcutter, who was not young but strong and strong, was chopping firewood on the field outside the house, although he was not young. Knowing martial arts, but every time the ax is struck, there is a very soft rhythm, and the huge logs are split by the axe. Chu Liuxiang looked at him deftly using the axe, and remembered the story of "Yang Youji and the oil seller", and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. "Although martial arts is the best in the world, what is there to be proud of? How much better is the number one ax wielder in the world today than this woodcutter?" Li Hongxiu walked over and said with a smile: "Excuse me, brother, are our two friends still here?" The woodcutter had no expression on his face, he didn't even look at her, he just nodded his head, and with one blow of the axe, another piece of firewood was split by the axe. Li Hongxiu said thank you very much, and winked with Chu Liuxiang, the two rushed to the door and saw Li Yuhan. In the poorly furnished wooden house, there was a white wooden square table, and Li Yuhan was sitting there drinking alone.His face was pale and he seemed to be a little sleep deprived, but he kept drinking one cup after another.The light in the room was very dim, although it was daytime, it seemed to be silent and desolate. When they walked in, Li Yuhan just raised his head and glanced at them, and immediately started drinking on his own, as if he had suddenly become a stranger. Chu Liuxiang sat down opposite him, and after a long time, she asked, "Where is Mrs. Sister-in-law?" It seemed that it took Li Yuhan a long time to understand his words, suddenly he smiled and whispered: "She is asleep, don't wake her up." It was only then that Chu Liuxiang discovered that there was a bed in the corner of the room, and there was indeed a person sleeping on the bed, but his whole body was covered with a quilt, so he couldn't see him at all. As soon as Hu Tiehua walked in, he couldn't help picking up the wine bottle. But Li Yuhan snatched it over and said: "There is not much wine left, I want to drink it myself, if you want to drink it, why don't you buy it yourself?" Hu Tiehua was stunned, and could hardly believe that this person was Li Yuhan, the generous friend of the past, but Li Yuhan still acted as if no one was around, drinking by himself, no matter what kind of person others regarded him as, he seemed to have refused to let go. on heart. After a while, Chu Liuxiang said slowly: "I'm very sorry, but we didn't bring back the antidote for my wife." Li Yuhan said: "Oh?" Chu Liuxiang said in a deep voice, "Because my sister-in-law was not poisoned at all, the jellyfish Yin Ji told me personally." He thought that Li Yuhan would be shocked when he heard this, but Li Yuhan didn't even have any expression on his face. After a while, he smiled again and said, "She's not sick? That's really great, great ..." Chu Liuxiang suddenly noticed that he was smiling very strangely, he was laughing rather than crying, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what Li Yuhan's intentions were, and he didn't know whether to question him harshly, turn his face on him, or force him to This matter has been lightly mentioned, so I won't mention it here. Chu Liuxiang has always been magnanimous, receiving favors from others, although he will be rewarded with water, but he never wants to hold grudges, not to mention that his mind is over and there is no harm, and Shi Guanyin's sect has been interrupted by this, so why should he pursue him so hard? A weak woman?While thinking about it, the man stood up and said with a smile: "The next task is over, let's take my leave! From now on..." Before he finished speaking, Song Tian'er said loudly: "No, I have to ask something, whether it is prayer or not..." While she was talking, the person rushed over and lifted the quilt on the bed. When she said this, her voice suddenly stopped, and she looked at the person on the bed, and was shocked. Liu Wumei was indeed sleeping on the bed, but her face was like gold paper, her eyes were closed tightly, all the flesh on her face had disappeared, leaving only skin and bones. This stunning beauty has become like a skeleton, and she is completely lifeless, but there are two or three ants crawling in and out of her ears and nose. Song Tian'er spat out with a "wow", and Su Rongrong and the others couldn't help turning their heads away, unable to bear to look any further, Hu Tiehua turned pale and said, "She...she's dead." Li Yuhan shook his head, and said with a soft smile, "She's not dead, she's just sleeping soundly. Don't wake her up." Even though Hu Tiehua is reckless, he also knows that this person is too affectionate, so he refuses to believe that his beloved wife is dead, just because he can't bear this huge pain at all. Looking at the smile on his face, Hu Tiehua couldn't help but burst into tears... The lighting is dim, because this is just a very simple wine shop. Although they were all very hungry, who else could eat after this incident? Li Hongxiu's eyes were also a little red, and he murmured: "I never thought she would commit suicide, I really never thought..." Su Rongrong sighed: "Maybe she didn't commit suicide, but she was really poisoned and hopeless." Li Hongxiu said: "But I believe that Yin Ji, the jellyfish, will never lie, because she is also determined to die, so why lie to others?" Su Rongrong said sadly: "Maybe it's because Liu Wumei always thought that she was poisoned, so she was tortured physically and mentally. Suspicion can kill people." Li Hongxiu let out a long sigh, and said, "No matter how you say it, Liu Wumei didn't lie to us..." Song Tian'er said: "Do you think Li Yuhan will really wait there for her to wake up? He...he is so pitiful." As she spoke, tears came to her eyes again. Su Rongrong said: "No matter how deep the pain is, it will gradually fade away after a long time. Otherwise, half of the people in this world may not be able to survive." It will be forgotten for a long time. "Forgetting" is one of the instincts of human beings to survive. Hu Tiehua suddenly patted Chu Liuxiang's shoulder hard, and said: "Your worries are over, and you have won the number one Shenshui palace master in the world. What else are you unhappy about? Why do you always sit there sullenly, even drinking alcohol? Don't drink?" Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly, but did not speak. Hu Tiehua said: "I know you feel that Liu Wumei was wronged, so you feel very sad, but you can't blame it, anyway, she didn't die because of you." Chu Liuxiang sighed for a long time, and said: "In any case, our trip was quite smooth, the only regret is Miss Hei, I really didn't expect her temper to be so obstinate, so I left without saying goodbye." Chu Liuxiang sighed again, raised his glass and drank it down. Hu Tiehua smiled and said: "In any case, the unhappy things are finally over. Now we should think about and do something happy. I..." His voice suddenly stopped, and his eyes widened. straight. A young girl in Tsing Yi walked over holding a big wooden tray. Although she was not ugly, she was by no means too beautiful, but her face always had a sacred and inviolable look. The jug on the plate was placed heavily in front of Hu Tiehua, and he turned his head and walked back without even glancing at Hu Tiehua from the corner of his eyes.Seeing Hu Tiehua's distraught appearance, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help laughing, and said, "Do you want to live here again?" Hu Tiehua touched his nose and stayed there for a long time, and suddenly found that the girl in Tsing Yi's big eyes were looking at him without blinking. Hu Tiehua looked up and laughed loudly: "If you fool me once, it's the person's fault. If you can fool me twice, it's my own fault. How do you think I will be fooled again?"
