Bright Moon and Cold Thousand Mountains

Chapter 61

(Fives)

Afterwards, everyone knew that Ye Tang swaggered through the market with the Gu Yan Sword. Such an epee, carried behind him, did not crush the young man's shoulders at all.

But within a few months, he told Zhong again that he was tired of using the Guyan Sword, and he didn't know anything about swordsmanship. In fact, he liked the Changhe Saber better, and he didn't know if Master Zhong could give it up.

It was at the banquet at the Green Mountain Pavilion. Ye Tang seemed to love such an occasion for 10 minutes, but Zhong Buyan didn't hesitate, took off the Changhe knife on the spot and gave it to him with both hands, and asked the disciples of Xixiu Mountain to ask for it. The ordinary lancet when he was in charge, with his surname engraved on the bottom of the handle, he brought with him again.

However, in a year or two, Ye Tang's reputation was not only famous for his sword and sword, but also for his frequent chivalry and righteousness, which soon resounded throughout the world.

And the accident happened in an instant.

Miaoyin Pavilion's piano appreciation banquet happens once in ten years. In this year, "Sushou Qingyin" Kang Yinxue was born. For her, the master of Miaoyin Pavilion restarted the guqin "burning tail", making the piano appreciation banquet more worthy of the name. A little bit of color.

When the invitation was delivered to Ye Tang, he was traveling to Taiyuan City with Zhong Buyi.

At this time, Ye Tang was no longer the unknown person who wanted to follow Zhong Buyan into the Liushang Qushui banquet, he held a post and blatantly asked Zhong Buyan: "How?"

"That's right." Zhong did not tire of praising, and added, "But I'm afraid I won't be able to arrive on time for this piano appreciation banquet."

Ye Tang asked: "What's wrong?"

Zhong Buyan: "The teacher sent a letter, asking me to go back to Xuanwu Town. A disciple was attacked in the Gobi before. I am afraid it was the people from the Outland Holy Cult. The twelfth floor has never fought with others, but the bully came to the door. I this The head of the sect has to go back too. I'm afraid I'll miss the piano feast if I wait and come back again and again."

It has been nearly two years since he returned to the twelfth floor last time, ever since Zhong Buyi met Ye Tang, he has stayed by his side, leading him all over the world.Knowing that the two of them have a strong relationship, Gu Zhiqiu, the younger brother, also pushed the boat along, assuming that he is often not in Ningzhou.But the acting head has the word "on behalf" after all, and when it comes to critical moments, he has to rely on the clock.

Ye Tang nodded understandingly: "Then I'll go by myself. Brother Dongfang and I are familiar with each other. Let him lead the way. Listen to the piano and drink in Miaoyin Pavilion, and relax for a few days."

Zhong Buyi told him, "Don't be greedy."

Ye Tang waved his hand and said that he knew the seriousness.

After a few minutes, Ye Tang never tires of returning to Ningzhou. After staying in Taiyuan City for a few days, Ye Tang also rushed to Miaoyin Pavilion.He never thought about it, and Zhong Buyan never thought about it, when they parted suddenly at this moment, no one could go back.

The story of Ye Tang's troubles in Miaoyin Pavilion is always full of blood and conflicts in the oral traditions of later generations. The demon guardians have been in the Central Plains for a long time, and once they showed their true colors, the Liuyang Palm was invincible, and it hurt the masters of all sects. Over and over again, so majestic!But Dongfang Yuan didn't feel that the scene that day was really as terrible as the rumors in Jianghu until many years later.

Miaoyin Pavilion is built by the water. In late spring, Tangdi flowers bloom like brocade clouds, and the flowers are fragrant.The beautiful scenery of the beauties should be accompanied by a song of high mountains and flowing waters on the piano appreciation feast, which makes people mesmerized.

The protagonist this time is Kang Yinxue.

She herself is not good at external martial arts, but her internal skills are extremely inferior.The sound of the qin is also known as the Xianyin sword, which refers to Kang Yinxue's internal force entering the music, when the sound of the string is moved, it can kill people from a distance, which is not much more terrifying than a sharp sword.

You should play the piano with all your heart, but the people around you have a slight contempt, which makes Kang Yinxue move his mind.

She is a woman, and most of the decent families mentioned Miaoyin Pavilion with disdain, thinking that they are just a group of grass-roots teams, why should they be compared with the Twelfth Floor.Even if the celebrities gathered at the piano appreciation feast, there are still some people with fake eyes, and some words are mixed in the sound of silk and bamboo, which is particularly harsh.

Kang Yinxue is not the master of the Miaoyin Pavilion, she has the tolerance of Jiang Hai, with a flick of her fingertips, the Yin and cold true energy enters the song immediately.The high mountains and flowing waters have changed their tone, and there is actually the sound of golden ge——

The next moment, the expected small punishment suddenly turned into a catastrophe.

She only felt a gust of wind blowing towards her face, and immediately subconsciously blocked it with strings, the famous piano with burnt tails actually cracked a crack, and then Zhiyang's inner force hit the door in front of her, Kang Yinxue turned back and retreated, but after hearing a sound Tear, Guqin has been reduced to powder!

Suddenly her throat was slightly sweet, and Kang Yinxue's internal breath was disturbed. She hurriedly stopped her pulse to calm down, and then looked up at the instigator, but she stayed where she was - she didn't expect it to be Ye Tang.

He vomited blood in his mouth, half of his cyan skirt was dyed red, and his temple hair was disheveled, it was simply a harbinger of madness!

A young man at the age of a weak crown, usually has an easy-going and gentle appearance. Even if he is a bit sharp, it complements his pride. The whole person is like a sharp sword drawn from its scabbard. Ye Tang is not the left protector of the Moon Worship Sect.

Someone put it bluntly: "It's Liuyang Palm!"

Immediately, shouts of "protector of the devil's teaching" and "heinous evil" echoed all over the field, and the people standing in the field seemed to have finally recovered from the surge of energy and blood just now, and wiped off the blood around their mouths without haste.

But seeing those around him glaring at him, and chatting with him before a cup of tea, Ye Tang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He thinks that there is always someone who comes and goes, but he doesn't know that the more he gets to the end of the mountain, the more clear it is in his heart.Looking around, the usual friends were silent, but no one showed up at the empty seat.

Ye Tang felt cold for a while, and the Changhe knife beside him fell to the ground.

Others said that he didn't know how to flatter him. At this moment, a living Demon Cult protector is rampant in front of him, hurting Kang Yinxue and ruining the piano feast. Who can swallow this!

Just as he was about to find out why, he heard Ye Tang speak loudly:

"Today I have learned that everyone turns their faces and refuses to recognize others-yes, I am worshiping the moon to teach the Zuo Guardian! Even if I am injured, if you are all invincible, fighting alone will only embarrass you! It is not as good as Qiu Xinglang's three-legged Cat Kung Fu, Ye Mou let everyone learn today, what is the real Liuyang Palm!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a nightmare, and blood flowed into rivers during the romantic piano feast.

When Zhong Buyi got the news, when he traveled thousands of miles from Ningzhou to Miaoyin Pavilion recklessly, he saw Dongfang Yuan's expressionless face, pointing to the smashed carved beams and painted pillars and sighing.

"My dear brother, my dear brother... oh! This... what do you think should be done!"

Zhong Buyan brought Gu Zhiqiu with him this time, and upon hearing this, he pushed his junior brother out and asked him to assist Dongfang Yuan in reorganizing the Miaoyin Pavilion.But seeing no one else around, he asked, "How many people did he hurt? Did anyone die?"

Dongfang Yuan sighed: "Why not! Beichuan Academy was beaten to death by him. Even if Mr. Si Yi endured it, how could the other Academy gentlemen let it go easily! Since the incident happened, it is extremely difficult to deliver letters every three days. Said that our Miaoyin Pavilion is protecting Ye Tang, and I want someone - where can I find someone for them!"

Catching Dongfang Yuan's meaning, Zhong Buyi heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "He ran away?"

"Killed two people and seriously injured countless people. After that, Ye Tang still has the strength to escape... His martial arts are so high that I have rarely seen him in my life at this age." Dongfang Yuan lowered his voice and said regretfully, "You said, why is it the Moon Worship Sect? What about..."

Zhong did not tire of answering the question: "Where did you go?"

Dongfang Yuan: "Three days before you came, he went to the east. Everyone chased him for a while, and there were dense forests over there, and it was easy to get lost when he entered. In addition, Miaoyin Pavilion is close to Shuiyue Palace, so no one dared to go there rashly." .”

Zhong Buyi sneered, patted Dongfang Yuan on the shoulder, turned and left.

"Never tire of it! Where are you going, you don't want to catch people back—" The teacher of Miaoyin Pavilion spread his fan and wanted to chase people in a hurry, but he was pulled by his arm.

He looked back, and at some point the junior that Zhong Buyan had brought was already standing beside him.

Gu Zhiqiu, as his name suggests, is quite cold-hearted. Seeing Dongfang Yuan getting angry, he was not at all disturbed. He just said coldly: "Mr. .”

The words have come to this point, Dongfang Yuan will not tire of worrying about Zhong, but there is nothing he can do.

This side is in a state of desperation, and the clock will never tire of it and let it go.He chased out in the direction Dongfang Yuan was pointing at, regardless of whether the place was really close to the Water Moon Palace as the other party said - knowing that Ye Tang's identity has been revealed now, and only by returning to the Water Moon Palace can he save his life, but Zhong Wuyi had an intuition for no reason that Ye Tang Tang must be waiting for him.

He had guessed it a long time ago, but he just didn't want to admit it. Now whether he wants to or not, he has to face it.

If they hadn't made a break, Ye Tang would definitely not have left just like that.

It was getting dusk and the moon was rising in the east. Zhong did not tire of rushing through the dense forest until his legs were sore and limp. Only then did he find a familiar figure by the stream.He paused and almost stumbled, he didn't dare to approach for a while after standing still.

Just now the clear thoughts in his mind turned into a mess again, and he never tired of it, but he felt a heavy weight under his feet, and he couldn't take this step—as if it was more than just a step. He knew that walking out was like walking up. A fork in the road, and he and Ye Tang are no longer what they used to be.

But the situation is urgent right now, he thought for a moment, and still stepped out.

Half of the moon shadow was shattered in the stream, and the sound of clothes rubbing against the grass and trees made the people by the stream turn their heads.

There was still blood on his face that hadn't been washed, and his clothes were filthy, as if he had rolled three times in the mud, making his bloodless face haggard.A trace of murderous intent flashed in those eyes, and the snowy color of Changhe's blade illuminated a plain face, but the next moment, when Ye Tang saw that it was him, the murderous intent disappeared immediately.

Instead, the look on his face turned out to be bewildered.

Zhong Buti walked over, sat down beside him, picked up a piece of flat stone and threw it into the stream, breaking the moon.When the stream calmed down again and the shadow of the moon floated with the waves again, he called Xiaotang.

Ye Tang answered in a low voice, and said in a hoarse voice: "I got into trouble."

When had he ever seen Ye Tang so lost, holding his cold hand, even the real energy of six suns couldn't warm him up, and he held it in his arms for a long time but didn't see it warming up again, so he became anxious: "Are you hurt? How come?" thing?"

Ye Tang coughed and covered his mouth with his free hand. When he let go, the palm of his hand was dripping red again—he was vomiting blood all the time. He was young, so it was not a long-term sign.

"Kang Yinxue's song hurt me a lot. Her internal strength is just in line with mine, and she is in the same vein as feminine. I drank the wine from Miaoyin Pavilion, and I was already weak. I thought I would recover after two days of recuperation, but This happened...no one can hide it, I was blinded at the time, and when I realized it...the person died." Ye Tang said, intermittently, and wiped off the red marks on the corners of his lips.

Zhong Buyi was speechless, and he couldn't keep silent: "Kang Yinxue is not dead."

Ye Tang: "I know, but someone has to die——I caused trouble for my sister, and anyone who wants to take revenge should do so."

Without waiting for the minute to speak, Ye Tang suddenly broke away from him, stood up and took half a step back, stepping into the icy cold stream with one leg.He seemed to remember suddenly, and his voice began to tremble: "You came here...they want you to kill me?"

Something was wrong, Zhong Buti frowned deeply, feeling that Ye Tang didn't look like ordinary and suffered internal injuries.

He didn't answer for a long time, Ye Tang snorted coldly, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Then you can kill me too! They have a good idea, Zhehuashou is omnipotent, but after we have known each other for a long time, I will make a move to Zhehuashou Everything is clear..."

The ending sound brought out his injury, and suddenly there was a clue.

Zhong Buyi said in a deep voice: "You forcibly broke through the last move of Liuyang Palm, and you suffered a lot of injuries."

"That's right..." Ye Tang raised his cuff to wipe the blood, and his lips and teeth were red again as soon as he spoke, "If it wasn't for the bald head of life and death who understood 'melting gold' thoroughly, I would have died at the piano appreciation banquet that day. You say, Is it more important for me to save my life, or let them yell at me and kill me instead of fighting back?"

Zhong Buyi said: "You said earlier that the move of 'melting gold' is a way of killing each other..."

Ye Tang snorted coldly: "The clock is not tired, you are obviously entrusted by them to come to take my life, but you are still here to pretend to be a snake, talking about him, as if you really care about me - I really hate you. !"

The second half of the sentence hurt like a knife piercing my heart.

"Believe it or not, no one wants me to kill you, and I will not take your life." Zhong Bujin said, seeing that Ye Tang was indifferent, he added, "You hate me...well, you really hate me?"

Ye Tang pursed her lips and looked at him stubbornly.He finally became cold belatedly, and when he came ashore from the stream, he pulled off his shoes and socks and threw them aside. His feet were hurt by the pebbles, which was not as good as death.

"You go." Ye Tang finally said, "If you don't go, Brother Xinglang is coming to pick me up."

Zhong is not tired of hesitating, but he has no intention of leaving.

The person he yearns for is close at hand, and no one can take the last step. He suddenly hates himself—acting on the twelfth floor, there is no need to be bound by the principles of the Central Plains sect. Monthly teaching!

Except for Baiyuejiao, no matter how much trouble Ye Tang caused, even if he poked a hole in the sky, Zhong Buyi has the confidence to mend it.

Ye Tang could naturally guess what he was thinking.Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, there was a sudden cry of a crane in the depths of the forest, Ye Tang turned around and looked at him, and said again: "You go back."

Zhong Buti said, "I wanted to take you away."

Ye Tang's complexion relaxed a little, his eyes were filled with water marks, it seemed that the moon shadow in the stream shattered once again, sparkling with sparkling light.But he didn't say anything in the end, he stretched out his hand to wipe it off, blood stains were imprinted on the bottom of his eyes, and turned around weakly.

He crossed the creek and walked deep into the woods, and he was almost melting into the twilight.

Zhong Buyan's heart sank, suddenly wrapped in fear that he would never be able to touch him again, and suddenly shouted: "Xiaotang!"

But there was no response.

Dark clouds rolled in, and in the middle of the night, when he walked out of the forest, the rain fell on his shoulders and wet his clothes.

Zhong Buyi returned to Miaoyin Pavilion, not as distraught as imagined.Gu Zhiqiu had already dealt with everything he had explained, and when the head returned, he stepped forward and asked what to do next.

"Go back to Xixiu Mountain." Zhong Buti said.

Gu Zhiqiu showed anxiety: "Senior brother, while you were there, Beichuan School sent a letter to Miaoyin Pavilion, stating that this is a great opportunity to encircle and suppress the Moon Worship Sect, and they will gather people to Huainan soon. The same letter may have already Send it to the twelfth floor, you and I are not in Xixiu Mountain, a few uncles will definitely take over."

Zhong Bu Tien's mind buzzed, secretly thinking about this aspect, and said: "They can't get it."

Gu Zhiqiu said: "It's too late, please make a decision."

"Absurd!" Zhong Buti sternly said, "The Twelfth Floor has never meddled with the Central Plains. What does this matter to me? The Beichuan school wants to pull the Twelfth Floor into the water, and they don't even see if they are qualified enough!"

This place is not in Xixiu Mountain, Gu Zhiqiu was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he hurriedly said: "Senior brother, be careful with your words."

After being confused for a while, Zhong Buyi refocused his energy on the business with a low shout: "In your opinion, what should we do now?"

Gu Zhiqiu said: "I have achieved a little while acting as the head of the sect. If the senior uncles refuse to accept you, they will probably take the opportunity to make trouble. Senior brother, you will stay on the twelfth floor in the future, and this post will definitely make it difficult for you. Drop the tongue."

"I don't have to stay on the twelfth floor." Zhong Buyan frowned.

"Brother! Don't say anything stupid!" Gu Zhiqiu yelled, "You are the only one on the twelfth floor who can use the flower-folding hand, and you can leave as soon as you say, what do other people think! The position of the sect is handed over to others? Even if it is me, I don't want to see you just walk away like this!"

Zhong Buyi knew that his junior had always been brainless, but today he was able to say such rebellious words, which showed that the situation was serious.But his mind was in a mess, and he only said: "Is it necessary to go?"

Gu Zhiqiu said, "We must go."

Zhong Buwei did not hide it from him, and said, "You also know that I will protect Ye Tang."

"But brother, you have to put on a show." Gu Zhiqiu said, "At that time, the uncles will personally supervise the battle, let's not have a direct conflict with the Moon Worship Sect, and it will be over if others see it--when the matter is over, Beichuan Xuemen There is nothing to say over there, senior brother will go back to Xixiu Mountain to avoid the limelight, so no one will remember that you and Ye Tang are like brothers."

Zhong Buyan: "I'm not a hypocrite..."

Gu Zhiqiu was so anxious that he almost beat him up: "Senior brother! I'm helping you! The Beichuan School thinks that the [-]th floor has robbed them of their glory for many years. You and Ye Tang have a close relationship, so you've already fallen into disrepute. Now he If your identity is exposed, if you don’t express your opinion, sooner or later they will attack the twelfth floor, and there is nothing wrong with them if they want to commit a crime—no matter how high the sky is and the water is far away, there is an EMI foundation, how can it be destroyed by you!"

Zhong Buyi was speechless.

The weather in late spring was fine, and there was no wind at night, but he felt a chill permeating every hole.

(six)

Huainan, Water Moon Palace.

Hua Ni carried a swaddling baby through layers of curtains.

The mountain rain was about to come, but she didn't realize it, she still dismissed everyone as usual, leaving only a few personal maids by her side.

The bedroom is filled with a scent of medicine, which has been lingering for many years, and has soaked into the pineapple wood table and chairs, soaking in the bones and blood of the owner inside.Hua Ni checked the stove where the medicine was boiled, and asked the maid, "Has Ah Tang woke up today?"

"Sleeping all the time." The maid obediently replied, "I sweated a lot in the morning. I wiped his body once with a veil, and finally the fever subsided. In recent days, A-Tang has always been like this repeatedly. A good foundation will be dragged down by him—Miss Hua, why don’t you go out and find him a doctor again? What’s wrong with this going on?”

Hua Ni smiled wryly and said, "You also know that the outside is surrounded by the old men from the Beichuan School, and the doctors who came in are naturally unwilling to treat him properly..."

The words startled the people lying on the couch, the quilts rubbed against each other, and someone got out of bed behind the screen and put on their clothes.

"Hey, Ah Tang, why are you up?" Hua Ni was startled, walked over with the child in her arms and began to scold indiscriminately, "What did the barefoot doctor say yesterday, asking you to rest more, this is an internal injury, you—"

"It won't get better after lying down for a year or so. My own body knows it well." Ye Tang buttoned up his clothes and turned out of the room.

It was only a few months away from the hustle and bustle of the piano appreciation banquet, but he seemed to have grown up overnight, the frivolous arrogance was gone, replaced by a gloomy and dull voice, and even his voice was much lower.

Hua Ni stomped her feet angrily: "You're disobedient!"

Ye Tang stretched out his hand to her to ask for a child: "Where are you obedient? Back then, I cut people's stomachs, cut off their limbs, and found out that they were pregnant. First, I was so angry that I wanted to drink medicine to kill it. I can't bear to part with it...it's better now, the Shuiyue Palace is so big, there are dangers everywhere outside, and there are still children inside."

In response to his words, the baby in the swaddle blushed and immediately began to cry.

Ye Tang didn't panic at all, and walked outside holding him with one hand, shaking while walking, not forgetting to threaten: "Cry, keep crying, when you grow up to five or six years old, I'll chop you up and feed it to Qiu Xinglang !"

Hua Ni chased after him, and happened to hear the second part of his sentence, and kicked Ye Tang's back, secretly restraining her strength.

"...But it's not just 'reluctant'." Ye Tang avoided her kick, turned his head to meet Hua Ni's eyes, "Sister, I always wanted to ask, why do you always say you really like that person? Still kill him?"

A locust tree in the courtyard was in full bloom, and when the wind blew, they fell like snowflakes in June.When the infant child saw it, he even forgot to cry, and stretched out his teeth and claws to grab it.

Ever since he returned to Moon Worship Sect, he had asked Hua Ni why he was so obsessed with the locust tree planted in the courtyard, which was too yin.

At that time Hua Ni replied to him, is Moon Worshiping Sect still afraid of being overly cloudy?

Now Hua Ni is standing side by side with him in the porch, sighing slightly: "Because of the vows made before each other, it was hard to accept it later. He was obedient to me when he didn't know, and turned his face when he was exposed, and wanted to come and kill me with my master and brother... ...A Tang, if it were your big brother Zhong who brought his disciples to take your life today, how could you not hate him?"

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Hua Ni heard Ye Tang laugh—she hadn't seen Ye Tang's smiling face for a long time. Thoughts.

"I don't hate him." Ye Tang said softly, "It's better to hate yourself than to hate him. You always put people in a dilemma. We were not on the same path from the beginning, and I still have to hit the south wall."

Hua Ni patted him on the back.

Ye Tang said: "The Beichuan school has been here for some time now, and sooner or later they will come up. At that time, you take Qian'an away, and Brother Xinglang and I will stand by for you for a while—you orphans and widows, you will leave the water in the future." Moon Palace, gather some churchgoers who are scattered all over the place, stop doing evil and live in peace."

Hua Ni spat: "You and Qiu Xinglang don't say such despondent words!"

Ye Tang stared into her beautiful eyes with an unprecedented seriousness: "Sister, I'm serious. You know my injury, I can't live long, it's better to spend it day by day..."

"Ye Tang!" Hua Ni scolded, "Shut up, shut up!"

Ye Tang hadn't seen her acting like this for a long time, but she was really frightened for a moment, he hesitated to speak, only to hear Hua Ni kicking and beating him, while crying: "I don't allow you to behave like this! Why, why didn't you You have done bad things! Let them come if they want to come, get out of here, what are you... get out of here!"

Ye Tang protected the child, turned his back to vent to her, and started coughing again without being hit twice.

Hua Ni sobbed and stopped, pulled him back and asked if he was okay, took Qian'an and asked Ye Tang to drink the medicine.After drinking that medicine for several days, it was so bitter that Ye Tang couldn't taste anything else, and had to drink bowl after bowl.

It's not that he didn't think about Zhong Buyan, but he made a choice, and Zhong Buyan did it.

On the first day of the siege of Shuiyue Palace by the various sects, spies came to report, and the head of the twelfth floor came in person, bringing more than 100 people with him.

How did it become like this?Ye Tang couldn't figure it out until his death.

That day, the beautifully carved stone pillars of the Water Moon Palace collapsed, returning to the dust together with the Moon Worship Sect, which had been domineering for decades.After that, no one cared about it, until someone came from the East China Sea for a long time and lit a handful of dead ashes.

There were fires everywhere, and Ye Tang held the Changhe knife and killed countless people. He was covered in blood, but he still had to take care of Hua Ni behind him—the other party's house that burned down in order to save Wang Qian'an. Liang broke a leg and couldn't walk, Ye Tang carried her behind his back, holding Qian'an with one arm in his arms.

There is a secret passage in Shuiyue Palace, and Ye Tang left from here that day, and no one except Hua Ni knows how to open that mechanism.Qiu Xinglang stopped the people who entered from the main hall and opened a bloody path for them.

In the intricate secret room, Hua Ni struggled to find a life, but at the moment when the stone door opened heavily, she suddenly pushed Ye Tang away from behind with all her strength, and then pressed the mechanism.

"Sister! Sister—"

Before he could react, he lightened his back and turned his head, Hua Ni's face was about to be covered by dust.

The tinnitus almost swallowed his sanity, Ye Tang's eyes became hot, and his vision was a little blurred, he yelled twice, and the baby in his arms responded as if he had realized something and began to cry loudly.On the other side of the stone wall, a woman's words came faintly.

"A Tang, listen to me... You haven't done anything wrong. From today on, forget about the past and live a good life. I entrust Qian'an to you... You must take care of yourself."

The last gap also closed abruptly, as if he had finally fulfilled his wish, leaving Shuiyue Palace behind.

The child cried incessantly, and Ye Tang leaned feebly on the stone wall for a long time with his legs, before gaining the strength to support himself from falling.He touched the stone wall and moved forward inch by inch, knowing that there was no way out.

This is the second time he walks this road.

Last time, he was high-spirited and ignorant of the heights of the sky and the earth, but this time he stepped on the flesh and blood of his dear ones, making it extremely difficult to walk.

And finally Ye Tang saw a light from a firefly candle, and when he opened the mechanism on the other side of the secret passage, the halo dissipated, and he was hit in the head again—the knife like a willow leaf in snow-white clothes was waiting for him.

He knew the leader, he was Zhong Buyi, the head of the twelfth floor.

"You..." Ye Tang's throat was hoarse, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he instinctively felt that he was going to vomit blood, so he quickly covered it with his sleeve, only then did he remember that he had recovered from his injuries, so he wouldn't make a fool of himself for no reason.He wanted to ask Zhong Buyi how he knew this way, but when he looked to the side, there was no need to say more about some questions, as there were already answers.

Ye Tang was 17 years old when he left Shuiyue Palace. Fearing that he would not find his way back, he made a small mark on the stone wall.

Whether he got into trouble and killed people and was carried back to Shuiyue Palace by Qiu Xinglang, or escaped today but was blocked at the door by the twelfth floor, it was all the karma he had planted himself.

Zhong Buzhi turned his head away, unable to bear to take another look.

"Debt!" Gu Zhiqiu sighed in a low voice.

There were already people chattering by the side, wanting the sect master to send this person down, there are many elders in the twelfth floor, their teachers, uncles and uncles, who would never tire of embarrassing: "The sect master, it was this person that day..."

Unexpectedly, it was Ye Tang who spoke first, and he held the Changhe Dao in his hand—what an ironic saber, it was originally born for Chunshui Dao, but now it pointed at its original owner—the star-like eyes unexpectedly It looks dry, but there is no trace of tears. After all, it is not the boy of that day.

"Master Zhong, what did I do that is outraged by both men and gods, and you want to kill me too?" Ye Tang asked, and Chang He unsheathed in response, cutting off Frost and Snow.

Stung by a certain title, Zhong Buyan's face remained calm: "You are not good at using knives."

Ye Tang snorted and did not answer, instinctively protecting the child in front of him.Qian'an always likes to cry, but at this moment, Xu was frightened by the light of the knife. He fell asleep all the way, opened his eyes and looked at Ye Tang, but he didn't have the slightest intention to cry.

Zhong Buti flicked his sleeves and shouted: "Everyone back down!"

"Master!" The white-clothed old man on the twelfth floor came out more and more, "Ye Tang has murdered countless people, and everyone can kill this monster! Now even if we all come together, we won't lose the slightest bit of tongue... Beichuan Xue Didn't the door besiege Qiu Xinglang as well, as long as Ye Tang's head is brought back, the child in his arms must be related to Hua Ni..."

What a vicious heart.

Ye Tang trembled slightly following his words, but did not escape Zhong Buwei's eyes.

"I'll tell you to back down!" Zhong Buyi became more and more irritable, and it took seven points of strength to slap the elder on the twelfth floor with his palm.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Zhiqiu hurriedly pulled the elder over, knowing that Zhong would never tire of getting angry, and helped him reprimand everyone: "Stand back for half a mile and let the head handle it by himself-it's useless to anyone!"

Most of the disciples listened to what they said, others were greedy for life and fear of death, fearing that Zhong would never tire of venting his anger, so they quickly backed away.

After a moment of turmoil, there was silence everywhere, except for the two of them facing each other tit for tat.The slaughter is still going on in the distance, and the fire of the Water Moon Palace burns up to the nine layers of clouds, as if the setting sun is shining, and the setting sun is melting gold.

"You told me earlier..." Zhong Buyi said with difficulty, "You told me earlier, I can keep you."

Ye Tang shook his head: "You can't keep it."

Zhong Buyan: "..."

Ye Tang said sadly: "They all think that I have committed a heinous crime, but I have never lied to you."

"I knew it earlier, and I also said earlier that I wouldn't think about it so much." Zhong Buyi said, he clenched his hands tightly, as if he had made up his mind, "You hurt me, leave from the west, Junior Brother Gu has arranged everything, then There's no one around—"

"Ridiculous!" Ye Tang cut off his continuation, and said decisively, "You and I have already come here. The clock never tires, you came to Shuiyue Palace today, why are you talking about the future!"

After saying that, Changhe Dao turned to the side, penetrated into the soil three inches firmly, and Ye Tang gave a light slap, and attacked with a palm half a step ahead. It was the "Da Guang" that made everyone look at him.

I don't know if his injuries are healed, Zhong Buyi didn't dare to be negligent, and took the slap calmly.

The wind of that palm was fierce, even sharper, like a broken bamboo, when it brushed against the side of his face like a blade, it wounded his face in an instant, the corner of Zhong Wuyi's eyes felt cold, and immediately the pain was burning, he dodged and turned over, Ye Tang again It was a palm attack.Every move is a desperate fight, and it is difficult to vent the anger in my heart.

It was completely different from the small fights at the Liushang Qushui banquet, he made a real move.

Zhong Buyan had this thought in his mind, when the second move "Hai Shu" arrived, he no longer dodged, and just picked up the flower with his backhand, which is exactly "Piercing Flowers and Blowing Willows"!

The Liuyang palm folded the flower hand, a ground-breaking blow.

In the third move, Ye Tang flipped his hands, Zhong Buti recognized this movement, it was the "melting gold" that he had never seen before, but could cause Ye Tang to seriously injure and vomit blood, and immediately lost his voice: "Xiao Tang, don't—! "

The falling wood was rustling, and after a while, it returned to silence again. Ye Tang pressed his palm against Zhong Buyan's chest, and withdrew his strength by three points, but still hurt the meridians.Without retreating, Zhong Buti wanted to hold Ye Tang's hand, but it was in vain.

Looking up at the bell, his eyes were slightly red, and his lips vomited blood. He sneered, and picked up the knife again.

"If there is a style of 'flowers blooming and breaking' just now, I can't escape my death." Ye Tang leaned over and picked up Qian'an who was thrown by him on the side of the road just now. The child seemed to understand the situation, or was aroused by the sword light Responding, as soon as Ye Tang finished speaking, he howled out, and after knowing it, he cried terribly.

Ye Tang had no intention of coaxing the child, and fixedly looked at Zhong Buyi: "You should kill me."

Zhong Buti covered his heart, and the six yang zhenqi was invincible all the way along the meridians, almost exploding his limbs and bones.It was a joke to try casually back then, but today Ye Tang actually did it with him.

"I said before," Zhong Buyi licked the blood between his lips, "I will take you far away when this day really comes."

Ye Tang laughed three times, with sadness in it, perhaps only the two of them understood.It used to be true to each other, but now it has ended up in such a situation, Zhong Wuyi still clings to a few old dreams!

"Impossible, why don't you understand!" Ye Tang panicked, and slapped the rock wall behind him with one hand, and the stone fell to a layer, and the dust engulfed the hem of the clothes in an instant, "They forced you to come here. , How can you fight against the crowds of you alone...Okay, okay! If you can't do it...I'll help you out!"

He almost gritted his silver teeth, and the Changhe knife in his hand was suddenly as heavy as a thousand weights.

Ye Tang raised it with one hand, clamped the blade, and before Zhong Buti realized it, a surge of internal force was condensed in the palm, as if it was tangible, it could almost melt iron to sell gold!

"Om-"

The Changhe Knife split into two and crashed to the ground!

Ye Tang said loudly: "I don't want to make things difficult for you. Now that you have reached an irreparable situation, you have to explain to your disciples and your world! From now on, everything between you and me will be cleared up. There are such knives!"

In summer, the sun is clearly warm, but the clock never tires, but the whole body is covered with cold sweat.

He wanted to say no, as long as Ye Tang said a word, he didn't need this world or the false name of the twelfth floor.But Ye Tang had already misunderstood, the infuriating energy pierced into his meridians, but he was very furious, Zhong tirelessly tried to counteract the six yang infuriating energy, the two of them were incompatible with each other, at this moment one side was overwhelmed, he was helpless!

"Xiaotang..." Zhong Buti gritted his teeth, "I..."

There was the sound of footsteps colliding with swordsmen behind him. When everyone on the twelfth floor saw that he was injured, an uncle yelled angrily, drew his long knife out of its sheath, and immediately wanted to chop at Ye Tang——

"Stop!" Zhong Buti snapped, "Who dares to hurt him!?"

On the side are disciples who have been with each other since childhood, and on the opposite side are relatives and loved ones. The sky wants to joke with them. The distance of only three or five steps is as insurmountable as the Milky Way.

Ye Tang smiled mockingly, still frowning: "Master Zhong, you can't kill me."

Gu Zhiqiu: "You——!"

"But I accept your kindness." Ye Tang threw the remaining half of the Changhe knife on the ground, and with a single step, he jumped several feet along the stone wall mountain range. Ye Tang will never set foot in the Central Plains again in this life! If you break this oath, Ye Tang will be crushed!"

Such a vicious oath, put together with the broken knife in two, was enough to be the last straw that crushed him.

The figure disappeared into the forest, and there was no trace of it.

Zhong Buyan stood there for a long time without moving, Gu Zhiqiu felt something was wrong and stepped forward to help him, just as his fingers touched Zhong Buyan, his legs softened, he leaned over and vomited blood, and when he was unconscious, he pinched red marks on his hands.

The distant mountains in Huainan are like Daisy, and the fire burned for three days and three nights, destroying one side of the scenery.

(Seven)

Zhong Buyi spent three years recuperating from his injury. He was in his early thirties, and because of this serious illness, his temples turned gray.

In the Battle of the Water Moon Palace, all factions in the Central Plains won a complete victory, Hua Ni died of exhaustion, Qiu Xinglang committed suicide, and the rest of the notorious Moon Worshipers either died or fled. Except for Ye Tang's whereabouts are unknown, there is no possibility of a comeback sex.Because of this, the Beichuan school became famous and was conferred by the imperial court, and finally got on the line of Tianjia.

And the twelfth floor, which was originally in full swing, let go of the remnants of the Moon Worship Sect because the head was injured by Ye Tang. Even if no one blamed him in the world, Gu Zhiqiu made the decision to return all of them to Xixiu Mountain and never ask about world affairs.

For the next 60 years, when Zuo Nian was in charge, Twelfth Floor never got involved in Central Plains affairs.

When the news of Zhong Buti's recovery reached Miaoyin Pavilion, Dongfang traveled thousands of miles to Ningzhou to visit the sick, but received a letter from Gu Zhiqiu on the way—the senior brother in charge is not in Xixiu Mountain, and he doesn't know where he is going.

Dongfang Yuan stomped his feet angrily.

In a small town in the Central Plains, she had shed her white clothes from Xixiu Mountain, and only brought an ordinary lancet by her side. Zhong tirelessly pursued Ye Tang's news. After several years of secret inquiries, he only found a trace of his whereabouts.

Three years ago, someone saw a young man holding a child in the East China Sea, boarded a small boat, and then disappeared into the sea.

Inside Zhongbuyi's baggage was a long river that was broken in two. On that day, Gu Zhiqiu understood the meaning of the knife, even though it was broken, he still sent someone to keep it safe, and brought it back to Xixiu Mountain all the way.But the reason for the broken knife was too difficult to tell, and the re-creation was delayed again and again.

Holding the Changhe knife in his arms, he jumped into a small boat.

The boatman is a fisherman over fifty years old. He has lived in the East China Sea for a long time and often goes fishing.Zhong did not tire of visiting fishermen on the coast for many days, and heard from him that he had recently seen a young man who did not disembark, only exchanged some food and fresh water with him, and then left. But don't know his name.

When Zhong Buyi heard the news, he was so happy that he almost touched his old wound.

It must be Ye Tang, he is still alive, this is enough for Zhong to take a trip desperately.

He gave the boatman enough money and asked him to take him to find the trace of the man.Although the boatman hesitated, he paid generously, and the old man claimed to have a thorough understanding of the East China Sea, so he set off with him early in the morning.

The sea fog dissipated, and the sun rose in the east.

Zhong Buti stood at the bow of the boat with his sword in his arms to witness the sea scenery, even though it was already winter, there was no chill at all.

"Hero, we are here!" The fisherman pointed to a piece of land not far away, "There is only one island in a radius of a hundred miles. The person you are looking for may be on this island. If there is no one here, you have to go to the middle of the sea." Let's go—no matter how much money you give me, I won't dare to go! Our little broken boat can't go that far!"

Zhong thanked him repeatedly, he didn't care about so much, he put his toes on the bow of the boat, listened to the wind and waves without a trace, the rabbits rose and falcons fell, and he landed ashore first under the surprised eyes of the fishermen.

The island is quiet. When the sun is high, you can only hear the waves hitting the rocks.

Taking out fresh water and food from the cabin that finally docked, Zhong Buyi made an appointment with the boatman to pick him up in three days.These three days, he thought, were enough for him to search for Ye Tang's whereabouts on a strange island.

After the boatman left, Zhong could not tire of looking at the island. The trees were still lush, and there was a small path in the coconut grove.Not daring to be negligent, Zhong Buyi leaped onto the branch and searched for the shape of the path.The narrow one can allow a single person to pass through, and the surrounding area is covered with half-person-high grass and trees. It looks ordinary, but you can't get tired of it, but you can detect the clues.
