Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen

The moonlight dragged Tan Wenqi's shadow on the ground for a long time, so this long shadow, following her slow moving steps, gently covered Pei Jue's feet and legs... Pei Jue's legs were trembling, although it was because of the internal force exerted on him by the dead wood and cold bamboo in the "Lenggu Twin Trees" just now, which caused great erosion in his body, making him almost unable to stand still However, it was also because of this sudden joy and happiness that he could hardly believe it, and made his heart full of worries tremble. He felt Tan Wenqi's shadow covering him more and more.

He could also see Tan Wenqi's beautiful face like a flower, getting closer and closer to him, this beautiful face, in his blurred eyes, was like a peony in the smoke, a peony in the mist, with the gentle breeze like a dream, Ran Ran blows into his arms. However, he didn't dare to stretch out his arms to meet her, because he was afraid that this was just a fantasy dream, and as long as he moved his body a little, this dream of happiness would be shattered. The sound of the gurgling water, at this moment, is so delicate and soft, like the sound of a zither fluttering far away in the sky, bringing a trace of gentle affection to this desolate night.

The wind was blowing as usual, and when it blew on the wide robe worn by the dead tree Hanzhu in the "Lenggu Shuangmu", there were waves of hunting sounds. The corners of their shirts were raised, and the lapels were flying, but their bodies were still straight and stiff, only four awe-inspiring eyes were moving slowly, from Tan Wenqi's dimples to Pei Jue's eyes , and moved from Pei Jue's face to Tan Wenqi's eyes. There is no expression on these two faces, and it looks like a martial arts demon without any emotion. At this moment, there are obviously some emotional fluctuations in his eyes.

They wondered to themselves: "How could Qi'er recognize him? How could she act like this to him? Could it be..." Turning her gaze away, she saw Tan Wenqi pounce on Pei Jue with a cry. These two ruthless martial arts demons yelled at the same time, their thin and tall bodies, without any gestures, they flew past like two arrows leaving the string - Tan Wenqi moved slowly, the closer her body was to Pei Jue, the greater the emotional waves in her heart became. Blurred tears, teary eyes facing each other, opposite tearful eyes, full of affection, he found the love he dreamed of from her gaze, so why not her.

Finally she let out a "wow", and rushed towards him, wanting to bury her body in his slightly undulating chest, this moment of ecstasy, he had been waiting for a long time, and she was waiting even longer, he slowly Stretching out her arms, she quietly closed her eyelids. I don't know-- A low chirp, a gust of wind. She opened her eyes, only to feel a blur in front of her eyes, the cold withered wood and cold bamboo were standing in front of her, startled in her heart, her delicate body half twisted, at this moment as fast as lightning, the heart was full The warm-hearted girl has already used the extremely wonderful lightness kung fu and body movement, and with the slight movement of the willow waist, she slid three feet away.

She touched the ground with her slender feet, but jumped up again, and flew back to the front of the "dead wood and cold bamboo". In a pair of bright autumn waves, there was a look of surprise and blame, and she said softly: "Uncle, Second Uncle, what are you doing?" Leng Kumu turned his gaze, and exchanged a glance with Leng Hanzhu, then suddenly turned his body together, and four palms came out with lightning, flatly attached to Pei Jue's body. What surprised and surprised Pei Jue was not how these two ruthless eccentrics would suddenly block him, but how they suddenly threw their hands at him. He saw their four palms and struck at him My own shoulders and arms don't even have the power to dodge, let alone fight back.

He knew that if these four palms hit him at this moment, even if he was made of iron and steel, he would be crushed, but at this time when life and death are only tied by a thread, what he still has in his heart is not his own life and death. It was Tan Wenqi who was opposite him. However, he couldn't even look at her for the last time, because between him and her, there were two strange people like icebergs, so he could only close his eyes with a long sigh. The speed of ordinary people's palms is only in the blink of an eye. This "dead wood and cold bamboo" is famous in the martial arts forest. The speed of their palms is even more astonishing, but the fastest thing in the world is still the human mind. The moment they hit their palms, these thoughts flashed across Pei Jue's mind like lightning, but their palms were only flat against Pei Jue's body, not when they "hit" on Pei Jue's body.

Tan Wenqi rushed up anxiously, pulled the clothes of one person with one hand, and shouted: "Uncle, Second Uncle, what's the matter with you? He...he is..." Leng Hanzhu snorted, looked back coldly, and said: "Qi'er, go away." Lengkumu smiled slightly, and recalled: "Girl, what are you in a hurry for? If we wanted his life, he would have already died if he had ten lives." Tan Wenqi couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and looking around, she saw that Pei Jue had her eyes tightly closed, and her forehead seemed to be dripping with sweat. She didn't know the relationship between the "Lenggu Shuangmu" and Pei Jue, let alone their relationship. He hesitated for a while as to why he was doing this, then twisted her waist again, bypassing the body of the Leng brothers, and skimmed to Pei Jue's side.

But I heard Leng Hanzhu say coldly again: "Qi'er, I told you to stand far away, did you hear that?" Lengkumu interface said: "This person surnamed Pei has just received our bipolar profound art. Although he is strong enough to support himself, he has actually suffered serious injuries. As long as there are some shocks, he may really die." Tan Wenqi's face changed suddenly, her bright red cheeks immediately turned pale, and she lost all color, tremblingly said: "Uncle, you...why do you treat him like this? Isn't he your friend? " Withered Wood Hanzhu smiled coldly and said:

"When did you hear that your uncle and uncle have friends?" Tan Wenqi's black eyebrows, frowning deeply, kept saying: "What should I do?" Stretching out his slender palm, he wanted to wipe the sweat from Pei Jue's forehead, but Leng Ku Mu Tu gave another soft reprimand, saying: "Stupid girl, I told you not to touch him, did you see, what are we doing now?" Tan Wenqi looked around, stunned for a while, finally sighed softly, and took two steps back. Although she could see that the Leng brothers seemed to be healing Pei Jue's internal strength, she was not quite sure, so she could only feel anxious He stood by the side, hoping that Pei Jue could open his eyes and say something to himself.

Time, in the hearts of anxious people, passes extremely slowly. Under the moonlight, the face of the dead wood and cold bamboo became very dignified at this moment. The four palms that were pressed against Pei Jue's chest suddenly raised, the fingertips flicked slightly, and the edges of the palms turned, Pei Jue froze. The standing figure turned around unexpectedly, and the four skinny palms were already attached to his back. At this moment, he only felt that in the palms of these two ruthless monsters, there seemed to be an indescribable heat that was transmitted to his body. This heat was sometimes slight and sometimes strong, and it moved around his body with his breathing. with. Although he didn't understand the mysteries of martial arts at all, he was a very intelligent person, he thought for a while, and thought to himself: "Why are these two people healing my wounds at this moment? Could it be that they are for Wen Qi, but what relationship do they have with Wen Qi?" It must be known that he grew up with Tan Wenqi since childhood, and he must know the people Tan Wenqi knew. Recognized, seeing that she and these two strange people seem very familiar at this moment, but I have never seen the face of these two people in my life, so I am naturally surprised. But he didn't know that during this year, although he himself encountered many strange things, what happened to Tan Wenqi was not inferior to him. After about the time of cupping tea, the dead wood and cold bamboo suddenly moved, in front of and behind Pei Jue, left and right, fluttering like a butterfly wearing flowers. Their four skinny palms kept hitting Pei Jue with their turning figures. In an instant, Pei Jue could only feel that his body was involuntarily spinning like a spinning top following the blows from these four palms. The strange thing was that not only did he not feel any pain at the places on his body that were hit, but there was also a feeling of pain. An indescribable feeling of comfort. Tan Wenqi, who was standing anxiously by the side and concentrating, saw the strange movements of these two people at this moment, but let out a low cry of joy, and a beautiful smile secretly spread on her cheeks. This young girl who grew up in a martial arts family and was deeply loved by her father, of course has far more knowledge of martial arts than Pei Jue. She has already seen at this moment that the actions of the Leng brothers on Pei Jue , He did not hesitate to use the power of his own true energy to open one hundred and eight acupuncture points all over his body for Pei Jue. Well, even though Pei Jue suffered some internal injuries just now, nine out of ten of the internal injuries have healed after the real fire forced out with a little palm by the two amazing martial artists helped the blood in his body circulate for thirty-six weeks. Furthermore, opening the acupoints at the expense of their internal strength will not only benefit his body, but also immediately transform his tendons and bones, and solidify his vitality. This kind of encounter is extremely rare for people in the martial arts world, what's more, what Pei Jue got this time was actually from the most ruthless "Lenggu Shuangmu" in the martial arts world. Although Pei Jue didn't know his luck, Tan Wenqi couldn't help cheering for it. Her eyes, like autumn water, were full of joy following the two flying figures, and her heart was also flying and spinning with joy. The faint moonlight shone on her blue clothes, gently The evening wind blew up her blue sleeves, making this already celestial girl even more beautiful. Suddenly—— Two more beeps. The flying figure suddenly stopped, Tan Wenqi let out a soft cry, tapped her lotus feet, and rushed up like a fright, supported Pei Jue who was crumbling, and carefully helped him to the ground. There was a relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth, and his star-like eyes were tightly closed at the moment, with a drop of sweat streaming down his eyelids. She took out a light green handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead. She knew that he would stand up in a short time, stronger than before. So she sighed happily, and turned her head, the dead wood and the cold bamboo were standing behind her side by side, their thin and long bodies were like two unattainable ice peaks. But at this moment, she also knows that in these two ice peaks, there is also human enthusiasm, but how difficult it is to discover this enthusiasm! At this moment, she couldn't help thinking of what she had experienced in the past year. She remembered how sad she was for Pei Jue's departure. Finally, she also left her loving father and wandered in the rivers and lakes, hoping to find Pei Jue who ran away for her. . But the sea of ​​people is so vast, how difficult it must be to find someone aimlessly in the vast sea of ​​people, she was naturally disappointed, she left the bustling town and went to the desolate mountains. It was autumn, and the autumn wind was bleak. When she hadn't walked to the south of the Yangtze River, she unexpectedly met the famous "Lenggu Shuangmu". "Adventure, it's really an adventure!" She was thinking secretly, then raised her head again, Lengkumu and Lenghanzhu were still standing in front of her motionless, so she smiled gratefully, and said softly: "Uncle, Uncle, I really don't know how to thank you, for me..." The gentle and delicate voice made the cold and indifferent faces of the Leng brothers begin to stir up some emotional ripples. Leng Hanzhu frowned slightly, and said: "It's strange, how do you recognize him—do you know that he is going to be the chief executive of the Jiangnan underworld?" Tan Wenqi couldn't help being stunned again, her eyes widened, she couldn't believe her ears, but she heard Leng Hanzhu say again: "This boss is the one who was elected by those people to fight against your father. Although your father and I don't have friendship, but for you, I came here in the middle of the night to discipline him. I don't know that this person is going to be the president. My dear brother with a spoon, you don't even know basic martial arts—" He snorted coldly, and stopped his words abruptly. But Tan Wenqi was too stunned to speak, she thought to herself: "It turns out that he is not an old acquaintance of Uncle Leng and Uncle Leng, but it is because of this reason that he is talking here, but... how strange is this, how could he be the chief executive?" Looking back, Pei Jue Still sitting quietly on the ground, his expression is much more peaceful than before, his broad chest rises and falls very regularly with his breathing. She sighed in relief, but heard Leng Hanzhu say again: "For more than ten years, I have never left Lenggu one step. I never imagined that so many things would happen because of you—" This cold and weird person unexpectedly sighed, and said again: "Anyway, we finally cured this Pei man again. If you have anything to say, just tell him!" Tan Wenqi blushed slightly, and slowly lowered her head. , her mood is shy, but also happy. When she raised her head, there was only an empty space in front of her eyes. The bamboos and trees in the distance danced gracefully in the breeze, and the gurgling water shone like silver in the moonlight. Brother, I don't know where I am now. Pei Jue couldn't help being hit on his body by others. He felt that these two cruel monsters were hitting him faster and faster, but Qi Ji felt more comfortable. This is a feeling that cannot be described by any words in the world, and he cannot know the origin of this feeling. As soon as the beating stopped, he felt that his body was floating, as if he was in the clouds, and his feet were weak, but it didn't seem that he had no strength to support him, but he just didn't want to use his strength. So he squatted down and sat down, he knew that Tan Wenqi was snuggling beside him, he knew that she stretched out her hand gently to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but he couldn't even open his eyes. Because at this moment, the breath and blood in his body have a flying feeling. This feeling is somewhat similar to the feeling he and Wu Mingshi got drunk a few days ago, but after careful taste, it is completely different. After some beatings, he has changed from a young man who has never practiced internal breathing into a person with a solid foundation of internal energy—this is something he dare not even think about—but he can Carefully grasp this feeling, let your qi and blood circulate smoothly. finally-- Everything is at peace again. He slowly opened his eyes. Tan Wenqi curled up and half squatted and half sat beside him. One hand was slanted on the ground. With spring onion fingers, he gently scratched the sand and stones on the ground, while the other hand pressed the sand on the ground. On the blue scarf covering the head, three fingers slightly curled, pinching a small handkerchief. She stared intently at the distance, Pei Jue looked over from the side, her nose, which was carved like jade, looked extraordinarily straight and elegant, the moonlight shone from the left, reflecting the hollow of her right nose, forming a graceful The shadow, the shadow slanted down again, so the slightly upturned cherry lips at the corners of her mouth also mysteriously fell into the shadow. The desolate spring night, the mist of the spring night, the misty contemplation, the contemplative beauty—— All these formed an unattainable beauty, so that Pei Jue almost didn't dare to disturb her, dared not disturb the peace and tranquility, but just stared blankly. However, she quietly turned her head back, her eyes were clear and slightly confused, and she stared at Pei Jue like a dream. Pei Jue twisted her waist, changed her sitting posture, and became closer to her. Then said softly: "Wen Qi...Wen Qi, what are you thinking?" He wasn't quite sure what he wanted to say, but when everything he wanted to say came to his lips, he couldn't even say a word, so He said it aimlessly. Tan Wenqi relaxed her slender hands, brushed her hair protruding from the blue scarf around her head, and said in a low voice: "I was thinking, man, it's a strange thing. Some people look warm on the outside, but they are very cold on the inside. Nothing can impress them. For example, my father. In the whole world, who doesn't know that his old man is very anxious. Righteousness, but I know that he is an old man..." She gave a deep sigh, turned around, and said: "But what about the other people? Everyone says that he is a cold and cruel devil, but in fact, he also has human warmth in his heart. Do you know that those two people just now are the cutest people in the martial arts world?" The devil with a headache, but they treat me so well, they know what's in my heart without saying it." Her voice was so soft, as soft as a child's babbling in a dream, rippling in this quiet spring night. Pei Jue couldn't help stretching out his palm, held her hand gently, and asked softly, "What about me?" Her cheeks turned red again, and she pretended to be annoyed: "You are too cruel. You ran away secretly by yourself without telling others, which made them..." He lowered his head, blushed, and could not speak the following words again. The flowing water in the stream was rippling, and Pei Jue couldn't help the rippling in his heart. He clenched his slender hand even more forgetfully, and said softly: "How does it hurt people?" Tan Wenqi's face turned redder, even in the night, she could see that bright red color, she seemed to have forgotten everything at this moment, so why not him? There was a faint sound in the bamboo forest in the distance, and the Lengkumu and Lenghanzhu standing in the bamboo forest looked at each other. In this place where no one saw them, they both had gratified smiles on their faces. Lengkumu quietly tugged on his brother's sleeve, whispering: "Unexpectedly, this girl also has a lover." Leng Hanzhu smiled, staring blankly at the outside of the forest, his heart seemed to be filled with pink memories, and said in a low voice: "Brother, do you remember, thirty years ago..." Lengkumu nodded: "Thirty years, thirty years have passed so fast! Now I can still see you sitting on the Jade Emperor Card at the top of Mount Tai, holding her hand to watch the sunrise." He said coldly. His eyes became gentle at this moment, and he said: "When the sun rises, the brilliant sunlight shines on your face. At that time, you were young, but not as ugly as you are now. Both Zhimei and I were stunned. I remember Zhimei whispering to me at that time: You and Yinzi are really a couple." Leng Hanzhu smiled joyfully, and said: "Brother, do you know that we were also looking at you at that time, and Yinmei also told me that you and Zhizi are really a couple." In the shadow of the bamboo grove, the two brothers, the demon head of Zhenjiang Lake, smiled happily, but in the smile, there was a little sad melancholy, because the days that passed away will never come again, the people who passed away, And it will never come back to life. Lengkumu smiled melancholy and said: "I didn't expect them to die so early, leaving us two old men—" He sighed heavily, but Leng Hanzhu smiled and said: "Brother, what do you have to sigh, we finally had such a happy life, much better than those fools who only know how to fight for fame and fortune all day long, sometimes I pity them, sometimes I can't help but hate them , I can’t wait to let them all die under my hands.” Leng Kumu was staring blankly at the outside of the forest again, under the silvery moonlight, he saw Pei Jue and Tan Wenqi sitting closer and closer, gradually forming a shadow under the moonlight. So the old man laughed again, stretched out his skinny fingers and pointed outwards lightly, saying: "Look at this couple, don't they look like the shadows of us back then, alas——I hope all lovers in the world will get married." On this quiet spring night, in this quiet wild forest, these two cruel old men couldn't help expressing their emotions that had been stored in their hearts for a long time. It's just that there is no one in the field at the moment, no one heard what they said, no one saw the smiles on their faces, the emotion in their hearts at this moment will calm down in a short time, and by then they will still look cold Look, others will never know that they still have such a sweet past, let alone know that they still have such warmth. They looked at Pei Jue and Tan Wenqi who were clinging to each other beside the stream outside the bamboo forest with emotion, and smiled coldly and said: "Brother, guess what they are talking about?" Lengkumu smiled and said: "It's still the same as what you said to Yinzi before." Unexpectedly, his words were loose, and Tan Wenqi, who was nestled in Pei Jue's arms, suddenly jumped up and flew over.Lengkumu and Lenghanzhu couldn't help being stunned, they turned their eyes and saw Pei Jue standing there in a daze, as if he didn't know what was going on.
