In the middle of Yuezhou City Pier, a tall gray-robed figure stood with a sword in his hand. His originally handsome face looked a little sickly. Liu Mei lowered her eyes and quietly watched the approaching ship, looking at the black man at the helm behind the ship. Young man in robe.
The two were still very far apart at this time, but they both seemed to notice that the other was watching them. Liu Mei nodded slightly, Qi Xuan speeded up the oar and steered, and secretly followed the black-robed boy's Fengxue Grand View Tower disciples. The boat had to be a little slower. When he saw the traitor's ship in front of him suddenly speeding up, there was a Fengxue Grand View Tower. Lou's disciples immediately shouted to the junior brother who was rowing the boat to hurry up.
After urging his junior brother, the man suddenly slapped his thigh as if his brain had been enlightened for some reason, and then immediately walked towards the front of the ship.
At this time, he secretly thought that he was still close to the Yuezhou City Pier and could still see some firelights in front of him. It must be that the building had been prepared for a long time, and it was still a little far away from the thief. If he could remind him of the location of the pier at this time, Fellow fellow apprentices...and then the elder noticed me, then in the future in the building...Thinking of this, this person did not have a satisfactory life in the Fengxue Grand View Building on weekdays, and was often criticized by Xu Yingfang. The oppressed disciple became more convinced of his idea of taking action later. He walked out of the cabin and looked at the countless firelights at the dock, and instantly put on a righteous and awe-inspiring posture.
With a wave of his arms, he raised the long sword in his hand and pointed towards Qi Xuan's ship. Then he spoke out: "Qi Xuan, the rebel thief, has robbed the station ship and attempted to attack the people in the city! Brothers and sisters, please do not Let the thieves rush into Yuezhou City! Then I will take the lead..."
But before he could finish speaking such righteous and courageous words, he vaguely saw the tall gray-robed figure in the middle of the pier, and his words immediately stopped.
It was the poster Liu Mei... When the man saw the poster coming in person, he thought about whether his previous showoff would be seen through by the poster. He swayed a little and almost fell into the water. However, in order to avoid embarrassing things, he immediately waved his sword. On the side, he took a few steps back and then stabilized his body.
His previous shouts were heard by all the disciples following him, as well as the disciples in the direction of the pier. The disciples of the Fengxue Grand View Tower who were unaware of the situation clapped their hands one by one and were about to respond to this brave man. Senior brothers, the leader in front stretched out his hand and lowered his voice.
After controlling the emotions of their disciples, the several elders who were traveling with Liu Mei immediately walked quickly towards Liu Mei's direction, and they all bowed and saluted.
Among these elders, there was an elder who stood closer to the front and bowed more humbly than the other elders. This elder was Hua who had intercepted and killed Lin Manliu and Ning Ke outside the city. Have a good feast.
When Elder Hua saw that the other elders were silent, he immediately said: "The one who has no eyesight to see... is my disciple. I hope... the poster can forgive me...".
Liu Mei didn't respond. She just exhaled slowly and still stared at the Ye boat in the front.
Seeing that the host had no words to order him, Hua Yanan breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to retreat, and then silently watched the long-lost master-disciple conversation tonight.
Just as he was about to retreat, Liu Mei spoke out in a language that was almost emotionless: "Both that man and the person who passed the message before are all your disciples... We should deal with it properly afterwards..." .
As if Hua Yanan was struck by lightning, he immediately bowed and saluted again, and hurriedly said: "Afterwards... I will strictly discipline you..." After speaking, Elder Hua immediately stepped aside and waited without saying a word. .
Not long after the conversation between Hua Yanan and Liu Mei ended, Qi Xuan's ship docked. The young man in black robe walked into the cabin, picked up Lu Qing, then got off the ship and walked towards Liu Mei.
Qi Xuan's pace was extremely slow, and his footsteps on the ground were almost silent. Except for Liu Mei, everyone clenched their swords in their hands and watched the black-robed young man walking towards them with vigilance. No one used their old skills. Treat him as his personal disciple.
The young man in black robe walked until he was five steps away from Liu Mei. He slowly turned Lu Qing's direction, then stood up and looked at his former master. Liu Mei just glanced at Lu Qing, and then also looked at him. Qi Xuan himself, neither of them had any words during this process.
Hua Yan'an watched the two people watching in silence. Because of Liu Mei's previous questioning, he did not dare to lecture Qi Xuan. He immediately winked at the other elder beside him, signaling for him to take action.
But how could that elder dare to take the lead in such a situation? He immediately looked away from the host and the young man in black robes.
"Why don't you explain..." At this moment, Liu Mei took the lead and broke the tranquility of Yuezhou City Pier.
"Senior Sister Lu Qing, we were attacked by thieves earlier..." The young man in black robe heard Liu Mei's words and looked at the unconscious Lu Qing on the ground.
"Why are you here?" Liu Mei said aloud.
"Send senior sister home..." Qi Xuan still looked at Lu Qing on the ground, not looking at Liu Mei. Liu Mei did not continue to ask questions, she picked up the Han Mei in her hand, took a step sideways, and then walked towards Qi Xuan.
The young man in black robe subconsciously took a step back and looked at Liu Mei at this moment. This distance allowed Qi Xuan to see his former master clearly. The last time they met was in the rapeseed field outside Yuezhou City. At that time, the master saw himself suddenly appearing on the battlefield and in the hostile camp. Qi Xuan has never forgotten the scene at that time.
At that time, Liu Mei just pointed her sword at herself without saying anything. The master, who was still taking action to defend the enemy, paused for a moment. In this moment, the bloody spikes all over the sky came from among the crowds at the Slaughter of Evil Sect. The bullet shot out and injured Liu Mei.
But not long after, why did the master become so old... He used to be the best in the martial arts world with a heroic figure holding a sword. I don't know when he started to become a little old and sluggish... Under the gaze of Qi Xuan , Liu Mei carried her sword, walked around Qi Xuan and Lu Qing, and finally stopped in front of Lu Qing. At this time, Liu Mei had her back to Qi Xuan.
The owner of Fengxue Grand View Building, like an old father, squatted down and looked at Lu Qing who was wrapped in black cannons. He stretched out his right hand and stroked Lu Qing's dirty black hair, trying to keep these things as clear as possible. The tips of his hair did not cover his disciple's face.
Witnessing this series of actions, all the disciples of Fengxue Grand View Tower, including the elders, held up their swords and hugged their sides, then raised their hands in front of them and saluted in the direction of Liu Mei and Lu Qing.
Suddenly there was a strange sound from behind the crowd
"Gu-wu-". This sudden sound caused some disciples to look towards the source of the sound, but there was no one behind them... nothing strange happened after the sound.
For a long time... Liu Mei, who was helping Lu Qing tidy up her hair, turned her head and looked at Qi Xuan. The young man in black robe behind him had not made any movements since Liu Mei walked. He just stood there with his hands lowered...
"Why don't you take action?" Liu Mei asked. The boy was speechless.
"What do you want after sending Lu Qing back here? To die?" Liu Mei asked again. Qi Xuan still had no words, and just stepped back silently, as if using such actions to tell Liu Mei what he was thinking.
Liu Mei coughed slightly and looked sideways at the black-robed young man who was walking away. This disciple who was the latest to join and the one he valued the most, the disciple who he once felt could entrust the entire Fengxue Grand View Tower, left like this. He walked away... He silently watched his former disciple, away from the fire at the dock, away from his respected senior sister, away from Liu Mei... and just escaped into the lake shrouded in darkness. , Liu Mei turned her head and stopped looking in the direction Qi Xuan retreated, her eyes slightly closed.
Qi Xuan retreated to the previous boat, propped up the wood pulp at the stern, and patted the boat towards the dock. The retrograde boat moved away from the Yuezhou City dock.
The boats that were originally following the young man in black robes saw him approaching and immediately moved out of the way, fearing that this madman would cut off their path to the sword just like they did at the river crossing station.
At Yuezhou Pier, Liu Mei picked up her only remaining direct disciple, carried the boat that had gone away, and said slowly: "Go back to the building...".
All the accompanying elders heard Liu Mei's words, bowed again, and then shouted in the direction of their respective disciples: "Go back to the building!!!".
In this way, all the Fengxue Grand View Tower disciples gathered here returned to the sect. ...The black-robed boy's boat docked at a bank next to the river crossing station. Then Qi Xuan leaped to the river bank of the town and headed towards a hidden street. There were no Fengxue Grand View Tower disciples patrolling here. In the light of the fire, the young man's figure only appeared at the entrance of the street for a moment, and then disappeared completely.
With a sound
"Creak..." I remembered the sound of the door opening at the door of a small courtyard. Qi Xuan's figure appeared again. He returned to the courtyard where he and Yan Fuli had stayed before. The two corpses in the courtyard had long disappeared. , even the blood stains on the ground are not easily noticed by ordinary people.
Qi Xuan walked slowly to the center of the courtyard and looked at the main entrance of the house. At this time, a man was standing at the door of the house, the same man who had been with the young man in black robe earlier.
"Trade" that person. The man seemed to have just noticed Qi Xuan's aura. He turned to look at the young man in the courtyard, clapped his hands, and then spoke loudly: "Brother Qi Xuan, are you planning to break the jar? I couldn't attack you." My good master, how dare you come here to revive yourself?"
The young man in black robe just looked at the man, raised his hands and did not approach the sword at his waist. He said nothing, as if he was waiting for his death.
Seeing Qi Xuan's move, the man seemed to have seen some funny sight that he had never seen before, and he started laughing. However, the laughter did not last long, and his whole demeanor suddenly changed, as if he had changed. a person.
"Qi Xuan, if your mentality is like this, I am fully capable of letting your good senior sister die again...even if she is by Liu Mei's side now..." The man looked at the black-robed young man coldly.
After Qi Xuan heard this, he put down his hand, no longer waiting to die like before...
"I couldn't do it. You can do whatever you want with what you need..." The young man in black robe finally spoke out.
"Do you know what kind of person or thing is the easiest to control?" the man asked with an unexpected answer.
"A person who has no personal thoughts and is completely dependent on others...or the desires in his heart...come from others..." Qi Xuan paused for a moment before answering.
"This is what you see, Yan Fuli's thoughts...did he succeed?" The man continued to ask as if he was not satisfied with the young man's answer.
The young man in black robe remained silent and did not continue to speak.
"Do you know what would happen if you followed one of the two previous options?" The man walked down a step first, getting closer to Qi Xuan.
Qi Xuan remained silent, looking at the man in front of him.
"If it's one of them, Lu Qing will naturally belong to you... But how long can you protect the good artifacts in the Slaughter of Evil Sect in the future? It's not an exaggeration to say that what happened today may happen again several times, even if you don't dare to Qi Xuan is tit for tat, and I will mediate between them. In the end, your senior sister still died tragically, and you, Qi Xuan, will also die soon..." The man said and walked down the stone steps.
The young man in black robe exhaled, but there was still no reaction.
"If it's the second one, you take the opportunity to send Lu Qing back and attack Liu Mei. Naturally, there will be someone inside the door to guide you back to the inn, but you can only go to the inn... I don’t mind taking action on behalf of Lord Liu Lou to destroy his relatives for justice..." The man had already walked into the courtyard at this time, and after finishing his words, he took another step forward. He was only five steps away from Qi Xuan.
"So...what do you want to say..." Qi Xuan finally spoke up and tightened his grip on the sword at his waist.
"Qi Xuan, you can give it a try. Within five steps, can you kill me? Or can I kill you?" The man looked at the left hand of the young man in black robe holding the sword and laughed contemptuously.
Qi Xuan took out the broken blade from his waist and placed it in front of him. He stared at the broken blade. After looking at it for a while, he inserted the entire broken blade into the ground, then raised his head and looked at the man.
"People's hearts..." Qi Xuan spit out two words suddenly. The man who was still looking at the young man in front of him with contempt suddenly lit up his glasses and took another step forward. At this time, the two of them were already at arm's length.
"That's right... The most controllable thing in this world is the human heart! Brother Qi Xuan is a sensible person. Since he can see through it, why wait for death?" The man's eyes seemed to be shining brightly, and he said excitedly. , while talking, he began to pace in the courtyard while minding his own business.
The young man in black robe looked at the ecstatic man in front of him with no expression on his face, just waiting quietly for what would happen next.
Because he now knows that ever since Senior Sister Lu Qing was in danger, the purpose of the person who has been behind the scenes has been on him. Yan Fuli and the waste with only the lower body were guided by this person and led him into the situation. In the end Among the three choices of death, he chose the human heart he wanted.
When Qi Xuan looked at his senior sister's misery and was about to collapse, he told him that all of this was because of him, so Qi Xuan had to obey the arrangement and accept three kinds of
A type of "transaction", used in exchange for Lu Qing's livelihood. In this way, he could tell Qi Xuan that Lu Qing and his life had all survived in the hands of this man. The exchange was never about being loyal to the Evil Slaughter Sect or attacking his former master. It is Qi Xuan’s human heart, and finally his humanity and conscience.
The irrational ferocious beast certainly has the sharpest fangs and the ambition to devour everything, but such power is uncontrollable by the superior.
And those desperate people who only have the last bit of humanity left in them just need to take this last bit of humanity out of their bodies and hold it in their hands. Such people are what these superiors need.
The man's steps gradually stopped as his joy faded, and he looked at the black-robed young man in the courtyard again.
Qi Xuan also looked at the man and said, "What do I need to do...".
"Always surrender to this land!" the man said. The young man in black robe was briefly confused at first, but he soon came to his senses and made an extremely strange move. He knelt down on his knees and began to kneel down in an unknown direction.
