There was a gust of wind on the cliff, and the sky full of wind and snow covered half of the distant scenery behind her with a desolate pale color.
Under the sky, there were white snowflakes. The rolling wind picked up her luxurious dress, and the golden edge of the skirt rolled into waves.
She has a picturesque face.
Long-lasting memories are like wind and clouds, with no trace left.
In the early winter of that year, the Thirteen Swordsmanship of the Tianxi Sword Sect was difficult to master, because the Six Swords of Mountains and Rivers had no intention of finding its master.
In recent years, only on the day when the youngest prince of the Qin Kingdom was born, the swords of the mountains and rivers screamed continuously for three days, just when everyone thought that the Six Swords was about to usher in a new master.
Only twenty years later, an unprecedented national disaster occurred in the Qin State. The emperor passed away. Because the nine sons' opportunities to seize the country's destiny were almost exhausted, the country was already in ruins.
The Crown Prince of Qin, the tenth youngest prince in the Ji family, was only twenty years old and still in his infancy. He was the first to be accused of collusion and rebellion by other princes and princes, and was thrown into a dark prison.
Overnight, his mother's clan and his cousin Shen Xuan's entire clan were massacred on unfounded charges.
Among the Shen family members, only Shen Xuan and Shen Zhan were lucky enough to survive. The prince seized the heir, which made the common people suffer, causing a war that would never be extinguished.
The nine princes did everything they could to win the supreme throne.
He does not hesitate to invite demon cultivators, refine virgins, and sacrifice magic to strengthen his own power and fight with all his strength against his brothers.
As a result, over time, complaints arose throughout the Qin State, and the surrounding small countries were harmed by it one after another. In the end, they simply revolted, and rebels and bandits emerged from all over the country. However, in March, the army entered the imperial city, and was about to Exterminate all the descendants of the Ji family and the royal family.
The princes who were busy fighting among themselves saw that the situation was not good. The demon cultivators around them came and went without a trace. The situation was extremely stretched. At the critical moment, they only focused on self-protection, and even did not hesitate to abandon their family members in the back house to delay time.
When Ji Pei, who was rescued from the prison by Shen Xuan, saw the light of day, he saw broken mountains and rivers and escaped brothers and feet.
The youngest prince of the Qin Kingdom, dressed in prison dirt and a filthy python robe, strode to the king's palace and took off the sword passed down from the throne.
The sword is originally nameless and has been enshrined in the palace for hundreds of years. Every time the king stamps the name of the sword, the name will disappear without a trace the next day.
The King's Sword is inherently aloof and does not grant titles.
On the day Ji Pei held the sword, the sky was pierced, and the purple energy came from the east. The words "Tuo Mountains and Rivers" were written on the sword, which was silent but also tragic.
He took nine steps from the front of the palace, splattered with blood, and killed nine people, all of whom were brothers.
With his head like a rolling melon, he stood in front of the dilapidated palace in the afterglow of the setting sun, crowned by the fallen light, and became the last king standing alone under the throne.
His body was covered in blood and dirt, and he held the Emperor's Sword in his hand and looked at the rebels who entered the palace without saying a word. Suddenly he raised his head and drew his sword to kill himself.
Blood surged like a fountain, staining the sword's body. The youngest prince's eyes had lost all life, but he did not fall down.
He used the Mountain and River Sword in his hand to draw eighteen lines of life and death between himself and the army.
Day and night, the life of a living person is cut by itself, and the life span is as pure as the flowing water.
A thin line is a prison.
The Eighteenth Line is the eighteenth level of hell.
As the emperor of the Ji family, he killed nine brothers, turned into a ghost immediately, and threw himself into hell. He fulfilled the agreement of the rebels to kill the Ji family royal family, and there will no longer be an emperor named Ji in the world.
Ji Pei, in the presence of the master of the Lord of Heaven and Earth, issued a blood edict with a letter, passing it on to the powerful minister Zhao Wugui. He guarded the Eighteen Hells, used his ghost body to control the mountains and rivers, and used his blood to replenish the nearly exhausted country. The Qin State changed its surname, and its inheritance has always been Not broken.
Three hundred years later, the sword master of the Tianxi Sword Sect died, and Gong Ziyu of the Qin State embarked on the road to find a sword.
That year, the young fourth son of the Baili family stood in front of the king's palace. Looking at the skeletal body holding a stone sword, he made a request to the beautiful woman behind him:
"Wenjun, help me check Ji Pei."
The most beloved princess has been in love with the man in front of her since she was a teenager. Naturally, she will respond to this small request.
Little did he know that such an investigation would lead to the news that Ji Pei was in the Zhongyou Dynasty.
This man, who took it as his mission to shoulder the mission of the common people, resolutely went to the ghost country where no one can enter, and successfully got Ji Pei.
I also got the only female emperor in that prosperous dynasty.
Many years later, Zhao Wenjun heard the same words from this man again.
The same words, exactly the same.
As his mood changed, it was no longer a request, but a command.
And his original intention of tracking down Ji Pei was no longer the pure thirst for talents he had back then.
Zhao Wenjun subconsciously resisted this order, but when she looked up and saw the mottled gray hair of the man in front of her, her expression darkened again, but a lonely smile appeared on her lips.
"……good."
A piece of snow fell between his knuckles, as if yearning for his touch and body temperature.
Sword Master Yu lowered his head and swept away, twisting up the snowflake and slowly crushing it out of sight. Then he stood up and looked at the majestic Tianshan Mountain above his head.
He said quietly to himself: "Just now I clearly sensed the Qi of the Green Python in Taishang Daoqing Sword Jue. Could it be that the leader of the Baijing Hall is really serious..."
Then he shook his head, his expression becoming more and more indifferent: "This is impossible."
If Ying Xiu could really do this, the dragon-snake sword formation in the dial would have been cracked, and the sword soul in the dial would be summoned and awakened. As the master of swords in the world, he could not fail to notice it.
All I know is that Ying Xiu, who is as skinny as Taishang Daoqing Sword Jue, cannot hold up the banner of Tianxi Sword Sect.
There have been frequent accidents in the disciple selection and assessment this year, although there are only nearly fifty people who can climb the mountain.
But in addition to the Qilian City of Qin State's "Little Shangyang", which is excellent, Jiang Yunqin of Shu State only has outstanding spiritual roots and does not have any cultivation skills. If he really wants to cultivate a useful talent, he has to count. Ten years of hard work.
Nowadays, the Tianxi Sword Sect is in a state of turmoil, and it is difficult to find a new master of the Thirteen Swords Yuan Ru. Although the Six Swords Ji Pei was the first sword he found, it came from Zhongyou after all.
Back then, Ji Pei was a heroic spirit who was highly valued by the Empress of Zhongyou. He was supposed to be trained as the Yin King of Zhongyou, but because he was single and sword-wielding, he went to Zhongyou.
I visited thirteen cities in one night, and the flowers bloomed for three hundred miles.
The young master of the Qin Kingdom has achieved a good reputation in the Zhongyou Dynasty.
That kind of demeanor impressed the Empress Zhongyou so much that she was even willing to give up a talent like Ji Pei and let him take him back to Tianxi Sword Sect and use his body as a heroic spirit to achieve the body of Six Swordsmen.
If this had not happened, Ji Pei would have been the youngest Yin King in the Zhongyou Dynasty.
There are many stories circulating in the world about Ji Pei and Zhongyou.
It is said that the Empress of Zhongyou has a heart that sees the moon and a sharp eye that recognizes pearls. The evil ghost who sacrificed herself to the eighteenth level of hell can also be transformed into a king who protects the imperial city.
People say that Ying Ji has the kindness to Ji Pei, the kindness of knowing and meeting, and the kindness of rebuilding. Ji Pei will not be able to repay all the kindness in ten lifetimes.
Ji Pei, who abandoned the mountains and rivers, was able to re-enter the mountains and rivers. This cause and effect all originated from Empress Ying Ji.
He has been guarding Sword Master Yu since he was the son of the Qin Kingdom, fighting in all directions and watching his sword dominate the world.
Ji Pei is Gong Ziyu's first sword to defend against enemies. He has been with him for the longest time, from having nothing to becoming one with countless glory.
But everyone also knew clearly that the reason Ji Pei was able to serve so loyally was not because of Sword Master Yu, but because of Empress Ying Ji.
As the Yin King of Zhongyou, his future achievements can rival those of the River Lord of the Demon Realm. He gave up on becoming the king of the Zhongyou Kingdom and chose the path of the Immortal Swordsman, which is difficult for the dead.
Among the Thirteen Swordsmen, the Master of Six Swords is only ranked in the middle.
The relationship between the Zhongyou Dynasty and the Tianxi Sword Sect has become increasingly bad over the past two hundred years. Although the Shanhe Sword is not as unstable as the Yuanli Sword, it changes owners frequently.
But it would be false to say that Sword Master Yu was not worried that Ji Pei would abandon his sword and return to Zhongyou.
Ying Ji's attitude towards Tianxi Sword Sect is far different from the years when she first married into Baituo Mountain, although Ji Pei is now the master of Six Swords.
But if one day Ying Ji asks Tian Xi for Ji Pei back, will he give it to her?
If Ji Pei really betrayed the Tianxi Sword Sect for Ying Ji, could he really touch Ji Pei?
It was because of Ji Pei that two brothers, Shen Xuan and Shen Zhan, abandoned the world of mortals and entered the art of swordsmanship.
If he touches Ji Pei, Sword Master Yu believes that both of them will abandon their swords and leave the mountain without hesitation.
Thirteen swords are hanging without an owner, six swords are in danger, four swords are possessed by inner demons, and the heart of the sword has been lost. Two swords have been subjected to the punishment of bone removal, and the physical injuries have not healed yet. Although the strength has not been reduced, it is not suitable to fight for a long time.
The Tianxi Sword Sect seems to have unlimited glory and ranks first among the Immortal Sects, but in fact, many invisible hidden dangers make Tianxi faintly show signs of breaking the sword together again.
The new king of the Demon Realm has broken the seal of the Golden Immortal and regained control of the Demon Sect of the Northern Kingdom, eight hundred years after the death of Zhao He, the previous leader of the Demon Sect.
I heard that at the beginning of this year, the Demon Sect established a new leader after a long absence, and appointed Blue Demon Duanmo as the master of the Demon Sect.
This new sect leader secretly founded a mysterious organization called the "Blood Armor Warriors" in the Zhao Kingdom. This force began to secretly penetrate all the countries in the world like a net.
Seeing the rise of demonic power, Taixuan Zong Cangwu Palace has powerful successors, so he is not afraid.
Only his Tianxi Sword Sect seems to be powerful, but in fact its incest has been cut off two hundred years ago.
If war breaks out again in the world, he will be a pioneer and will not be afraid of dying in the wilderness!
It is only a matter of time before the Tianxi Sword Sect inherits the swordsmanship and Taishang Daoqing Sword Art, and the legacy of the inheritance will be cut off, and the Sword Sect will decline.
Although there is another person in this world who can practice Taishang Daoqing Sword Art, when he thinks of Ying Ji's ridiculous methods, Sword Master Yu feels disgusted with Ying Xiu in his heart, not to mention considering him as his successor. Come to cultivate.
Furthermore, Ying Xiu has long memorized the first level of Tai Shang Dao Qing Sword Technique, but in two hundred years, he has only been able to cultivate the Qing Meng Sword Intent.
Not to mention that the mighty sword energy lasts forever, even if it takes a lot of effort to kill a chicken, he actually has the nerve to look proudly at the Yue women in front of the mountain gate.
Although Ying Xiu still bears the identity of the young master of the Tianxi, even the Thirteen Swordsmen of Fengjian Elder He who do not know what is going on are not optimistic about his inheritance of the Tianxi.
Not to mention that Ying Xiu abandoned the surname Baili two hundred years ago and changed it to the surname Zhongyou Emperor.
In the past two hundred years, the art of deception has indeed improved rapidly, but in the end it has deviated from the right path of immortality.
Compared to Young Master Tianxi, they felt that Ying Xiu was more like Prince Zhongyou.
Elder Fengjian had many words of advice, admonishing Master Yu of the sword to have another heir in order to prolong the sect's fortune.
As an immortal, Sword Master Yu is in his prime. If he is determined, he will not end up with his heirs withering and being left alone.
It's a pity that Sword Master Yu is a noble person, and the relationship between him and Ying Ji is not just because of political marriage, even though now he and her have reached a situation where they are jealous of each other.
But Sword Master Yu could never forget the girl who stood three hundred years ago at the end of three hundred miles of bloody rain and flowers.
Sword Master Yu is rigid, stubborn, cold, and black and white. At the same time, he is always the same person.
But if the battle between good and evil begins again, the inheritance of the Tianxi Sword Sect cannot be broken, and there is no possibility of a relationship between him and Ying Ji. Chaos has emerged, and he may have to consider the advice of the elders.
The snow was getting darker, and Jian Zhuyu couldn't help but look sideways at the woman who had been silently following him all these years.
In the lonely cliff of the snow-capped mountains, snowflakes swayed back and forth like catkins all over the sky, shattering the light and shadow in her dark eyes, and all the broken snow-colored shadows were him.
Sword Master Yu was in a daze for a moment, and then a thought suddenly arose.
Since when did Wenjun start looking at her in silence with such tender eyes?
The eldest princess had known him since childhood, and she could tell what he was thinking just from his look.
She closed the cloak behind her as if she was afraid of the cold, and chuckled, "Does Ayu want to practice dual cultivation with me?"
Her direct confession made Sword Master Yu, who had always been cold and serious, feel embarrassed for a moment. He hurriedly said: "Wenjun, I..."
Zhao Wenjun interrupted with a smile on his face: "Ayu, I like you, but that doesn't mean I will belittle myself because of it."
She shook her head and laughed: "I don't want to give you a child."
Sword Master Yu's face became increasingly embarrassed: "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to..."
Zhao Wenjun didn't show any anger on her face. Her beautiful face was stained with a faint smile: "Ayu, I can like someone without any reservation, but I will not indulge myself without any bottom line. I know you don't love me, I can wait, but I will never give in.
I won't have children with a man who doesn't like me, or raise children for him. I know that you care about the common people, and I am willing to protect this world with you. When you look back, I will definitely be behind you.
If one day you are willing to let me walk side by side with you, I will definitely dedicate everything to grow old hand in hand with you and live with your children and grandchildren, but not now. "
Zhao Wenjun's persistence in magnanimity left Sword Master Yu speechless.
She once gave up her cultivation for him, dug out her spiritual roots, and saved his life.
Bailiyu believed that she was worthy of everyone in the world, but she owed so much to Zhao Wenjun.
Zhao Wenjun is always at a distance that is neither far nor close, just right with him, and treats him with respect as a guest.
Even during the hundred years since Ying Ji married into Tianxi, even the arrogant empress could not fault her in the slightest.
This shows what a good person she is.
She smiled and said: "Ayu, I know what you are worried about and what you are worried about. You can find a woman to continue the inheritance for you. You know, I only stay jealous for three days."
Zhao Wenjun's cleverness and sensibleness made Bailiyu feel ashamed and ashamed. He looked at her with a complicated expression and said solemnly: "How lucky I am to meet you in this life."
The only reason is that most of the things in this world are related by fate, such as him and Ying Ji.
As for Zhao Wenjun, although the two were destined to be together, she blamed him for his lack of intention and ended up being her betrayal.
