Jiang Ye followed those demon powers and saw the little demon boy from Lingnan on the steps to the north of Nanyi City.
The little demon was wearing warm orange clothes, sitting in the snow-covered night in the north of the city, looking very cold.
There was a sword on his lap, and on the sword was a bloody, still unopened letter.
"Where's Shushu?"
Jiang Ye walked over, walked up the snow steps, stopped in front of the little demon boy and asked.
"I found a corner in the city and buried her under a tree."
Li Li raised his head, looked at the Jian Sect disciple who came with a sword for a long time, and then said softly.
Jiang Ye was silent for a while and said, "I thought you would keep her here."
Li Li looked up at the dark sky above the lights floating in the snowy night, and said softly: "She can't be kept. She has already gone to the River Styx, how can she be kept?"
Jiang Ye looked at him for a long time, sat down on the side and said, "What's your name?"
"Raccoon hat, raccoon cat's raccoon hat, bamboo hat's hat."
Jiang Ye subconsciously imagined a cat wearing a bamboo hat.
It's a pity that the boy didn't bring a hat.
He looked at the letter on the young man's sword.
"Is this a letter from Shushu to you?"
"Um."
"did you see it yet?"
"No." Li Li said softly, "I didn't look."
The sparsely lit snow steps fell silent again.
"I will probably watch it in the future." Li Li said to himself, "Maybe it will be a long time later, when I no longer remember that little demon who accidentally walked through Lingnan. When I grow old and start to look back on my life A time of regret. I should have taken it out at that time, sat quietly by the fire, licked my paws, and then clumsily and slowly opened this letter that had accumulated the flavor of many years, and took a look. What exactly did she write in her second letter to me many years ago?"
Tears began to fall from the young man's body.
It was clear that there was snow underneath.
But the sound of those tears breaking through the snow was louder than anything else.
Jiang Ye turned her head and looked up at the sky.
Then he heard the clothes of the young man beside him rustling, as if he raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"I heard from them that the person who beat her to death was called Hu Lu, and he was a disciple of your Human Sword Sect."
Jiang Ye said softly: "Yes."
"At that time, I actually thought about going to your sword sect with my sword to ask for a result and justice."
Jiang Ye turned around and looked at the little demon named Li Li quietly.
"Why didn't you come?"
Li Li said softly: "This is meaningless. I can't beat anyone in your Sword Sect, not even that boy."
When the little raccoon cat said this, a sword was pulled out and thrown in front of him.
"Hu Lu is my junior brother. He has done some wrong things. As a senior brother, naturally he cannot ignore it."
Li Li did not pick up the sword, but said slowly: "I don't want to do this. Just like after I learned that she was beaten to death by someone from your Sword Sect, I guessed that there might be something hidden in this letter. What a secret, but I still haven’t seen it.”
"I also have a sword myself, even though it's just a small Lingnan sword." Li Li raised his head and looked at the Sword Sect Garden in the distance.
The location at the top of the city is very high. Even if you are just sitting on the stone steps going up, you can still see the Jianzong Garden lying quietly in the city.
Of course Jiang Ye knew what he meant, so he said calmly: "Hu Lu is my junior brother."
Tanuki turned to look at the man.
"He will also be the future leader of the Sword Sect. If you are angry in your heart, I can let you vent it now, but if you want to say anything, you will seek revenge in the future." Jiang Ye said calmly, "I'm sorry, I won’t allow it. You can tell many people in the world about this, but I am his senior brother.”
The Human World Sword Sect not only has the word Human World, but also has the word Sword Sect.
This place, which inherited the kendo of Mojianya back then, perhaps understands the meaning of the word Sword Sect better than anyone else.
The stone steps are covered with snow, like many pale stories.
Li Li looked at the senior fellow from the Sword Sect in front of him in silence.
"If I have to do this, will you kill me?"
Jiang Ye also fell silent after hearing this sentence squeezed out of the long silence.
"I don't know, there are some things I can't tell you, but Hu Lu chose to do that, and there is a reason." Jiang Ye remembered what Qing Xiang said back then. "There are some things we cannot see through life and death as right or wrong, but as the truth..."
Li Li said softly: "Yes, all she lost was her life, but you have to embrace the painful truth. Is this what you think?"
This sentence is full of irony.
Jiang Ye was silent for a while and said slowly: "It's just that you can't understand something."
Li Li took the letter into his arms, put the sword behind his back, and walked towards the city.
"I'm just a little Lingnan demon cultivator. I'm sorry that I can't have the ability of my senior brothers to look at higher and farther places."
Jiang Ye sat there, quietly watching the little civet cat leave Nanyi City.
The green cabbage sword did not leave, but lay quietly in the snow.
"I thought you would really do it."
Mei Quming's voice came from the long street near Jianzong. This senior brother who once competed with Shushu for business on the Nanyi River walked melancholy through the snow and lights on the ground towards Jiang Ye. Come.
Jiang Ye said softly: "I once thought that I would really do it. But after all, the sword sect only uses swords to reason when it must be justified. We are not ignorant teenagers, so naturally we will not do it. Something like this comes.”
Jiang Ye picked up the sword, walked down the city, and stopped on the long street with Mei Quming.
Quietly looking at the snow outside the north of the city.
"Liu Sanyue was killed by senior brother Huaifeng."
"I know."
Mei Quming turned his head, looked at Jiang Ye and said, "How do you know?"
Jiang Ye said softly: "I forgot, but I remember that when the Prime Minister told me about this, I was not surprised."
Mei Quming was silent for a long time, probably thinking about whether he should also know about this.
But maybe he really doesn't know.
"So in the end, this story, maybe from the beginning, it was the sword sect that made the mistake." Mei Quming said slowly.
"The matter is now over. Whether it is right or wrong is no longer important." Jiang Ye said softly, "How to prevent the world from knowing is the most important thing."
"Didn't you read Shushu's letter to that little demon?"
Jiang Ye said slowly: "She won't write about this. Shushu has been in Nanyi City longer than you and I. She is a small person in the world, so naturally she will not watch the world become like that. situation."
The two stood on the long street for a long time.
After a long time, he began to turn around and head towards Jian Zong.
"Senior Brother Huaifeng went to Lingnan today, but he didn't even say a word to us."
Mei Quming sighed and said.
Jiang Ye said softly: "Maybe he is really ready to pay the price for Liu Sanyue's death."
Everything is of course taken for granted.
But no one thought that the boy who was entangled in these things would do such a thing.
Mei Quming thought with some regret.
"Senior brother, do you believe in fate?"
Jiang Ye didn't speak, probably thinking about the beginning of the story, the little demon rat that stole from Bu Suanzi, and the things Bu Suanzi said.
"I don't know." Jiang Ye said slowly.
Maybe fate is what the fortune teller said.
If it hadn't been for that sentence, if you lost a penny, you would be in disaster, and the story might not have gone like this.
Shushu will still happily walk around the world, doing those petty theft things that he can't help but do.
Then I put on my makeup by the stream and went to Lingnan to find the young man to watch the sunset and the moonlight.
Nanyi City will lose a little demon who has been ferrying around for many years, and the world will have one more happy rat.
But the story doesn't go that way.
What exactly did Bu Suanzi see back then?
no one knows.
The two of them walked the entire long street and reached the alley.
The old man selling sugar and oil cakes has not been here for a long time.
It was probably before the snow.
Maybe he has moved to another place, or maybe he has died of old age.
no one knows.
Mei Quming stood at the entrance of the alley, looked at it for a long time, then looked at Jiang Ye and said, "If the people from Qingtian Dao appear in Lingnan and have nothing to do with Shushu, then who asked them to come?"
Jiang Ye just shook his head and walked, saying, "I don't know."
...
When Chen Huaifeng passed through the sword barriers in the night and stepped into the snow of the Lingnan Mountains, Gu Shanhong was waiting there quietly.
When the two met, they each bowed.
"Senior brother."
"senior."
Gu Shanhong heard that senior sentence and said, "Senior Brother Chen's senior sentence made me feel a little scared."
Chen Huaifeng smiled slightly and said softly: "Although Lingnan Sword calls itself a small sword, to the human world, it is the greatest sword, so it naturally deserves the title of senior."
Gu Shanhong just shook his head, smiled and walked forward.
The reason why the leader of Lingnan Jinghong Sword Sect appears here is naturally because it is Chen Huaifeng's first time to Lingnan Sword Sect.
Chen Huaifeng, who has practiced in the Jianzong Garden since he was a child. After becoming a swordsman, he only played cards and drank tea in the human world. He has actually been to only a handful of places.
Even after breaking through the Nine Realms, entering the Great Dao, and looking further into the world, there is no other place I have been to.
Probably for him, the best landscape in the world is the wolfberry landscape in the cup.
The two of them walked on the snowy road in the mountains and forests with swords in their hands.
The snow has stopped for a day, the snow is falling on the branches, and there is some moonlight in the forest.
It's a pity that neither of them probably has the heart to see those things.
"Qingtian Dao Mei Xiyu, senior brother should know."
Gu Shanhong looked at Chen Huaifeng walking quietly aside and said slowly.
Chen Huaifeng nodded and said calmly: "He is almost the same age as me, and we are of the same generation."
When Gu Shanhong heard this sentence from the same generation, he also looked at Chen Huaifeng, who was always called an old man in front of him, but was actually only thirty-two years old. He felt a little emotional and said softly: "Probably only the talent is similar. Only then can we be called people of the same generation, otherwise it will inevitably be like us, who have fallen to the end of a lifetime of practice and become juniors and juniors instead."
Chen Huaifeng chuckled softly and said: "Senior can actually go to Xuanxu Academy to teach swordsmanship. Once you enter the academy, you will naturally only be a teacher."
Gu Shanhong sighed and said: "Lingnan Xiaojian, it's better not to mislead others."
"Lingnan was just born at the wrong time." Chen Huaifeng said.
"What does it mean to be born at the right time?"
Chen Huaifeng thought for a while and said: "For example, when Mei Xiyu came to Lingnan, it happened that I, Chen Huaifeng, also entered the main road, and then simply went up the mountain after hearing the news. This is called being born at the right time."
When Gu Shanhong heard the last thing, he realized that Chen Huaifeng was still thinking about Taoist Qingtian.
"So what happened in March?"
Of course Gu Shanhong didn't listen to rumors. Even if he heard the conversation by the bridge, he still didn't know the origin of many things.
Chen Huaifeng was silent for a while and said calmly: "It's just a matter of personal grudge."
Gu Shanhong said softly: "If it was just a personal grudge, it shouldn't be like this."
"Of course it's a personal grudge, but such a private grudge probably cannot be heard by the world." Chen Huaifeng said softly.
“What would happen if the world heard?”
"There are probably some things that are difficult to end well."
Gu Shanhong turned his head, looked at the moonlight in the mountains and forests, and said softly: "In that case, it's better that I don't want to know."
Chen Huaifeng didn't say anything and followed Gu Shanhong deeper into Lingnan.
There are already many sword cultivators missing in Lingnan, so it is naturally even quieter at night after such heavy snowfall.
There are only some sounds of snow falling on branches and some trivial sounds of wild animals running around in the forest.
The two stepped on the snow, each walking with their own thoughts.
After a long time, Gu Shanhong said softly: "Not only does senior brother have some troubles, there are also some troubles in Lingnan. Originally, senior brother Feng Yin planned to go to Jian Sect on a certain day, but since senior brother is here, it just saves this trip. .”
Chen Huaifeng looked at Gu Shanhong on the side, then looked up at the swordsmen on the mountain, and said softly: "Sealing the mountain?"
"Yes." Gu Shanhong said softly: "This matter should also be related to Senior Brother Zhang."
Chen Huaifeng stopped, looked at Gu Shanhong and said, "What's the relationship?"
"The relationship between sword sects in the human world."
Chen Huaifeng was silent for a while and said, "What about the demon clan?"
"Yes." Gu Shanhong looked into the depths of Lingnan and said softly, "Just yesterday afternoon, the Lame Deer Sword Sect of Lingnan was completely killed. It was a place of demon cultivation, although Lingnan has more than just people there. Demon cultivator, but after all, that place is the place where the demon master died. Once the news comes out, we don’t know what will happen to the human world.”
Chen Huaifeng's eyes followed Gu Shanhong's and also fell deep into Lingnan.
Although he has never been to this ancient and loose gathering place of sword sects, he is also aware of the existence of such a sword sect.
At that time, all the demons passed through Nanyi City and Fengqiling Mountain to the north.
And the demon lord died in the mountains.
Later, in order to commemorate the lame elk that led the demon clan to live on the Youhuang Mountains for a long time, some demon tribes established such a sword sect there.
There is naturally more than one such Sword Sect, and it is Huangliang where the way of witches and ghosts is prevalent. In the extreme south of the Youhuang Mountains, the place known as the ancestral land of the demon clan, there is also such a place of practice, but It is not a place for sword cultivation, but a place for pure demon cultivation.
Chen Huaifeng looked at it in silence for a long time, and then said softly: "What do you think?"
Gu Shanhong said slowly: "Someone wants to use the incident of Senior Brother Zhang going up the mountain to stir up trouble in the world."
Chen Huaifeng said softly: "That's true. Junior brother's status as a disciple of the Human Sword Sect is too sensitive in such matters."
Gu Shanhong continued: "To solve this problem, after discussing with Senior Brother Feng Yin, I only got two solutions. Find someone to do it, or..."
"Find Kamigawa and my master." Of course Chen Huaifeng could see that this was the simplest and most useful solution on the surface.
But the problem is that no one in the world knows where Kamigawa has gone.
Although there was news about Cong Ren, his last trace was only 490,000 miles away from the East China Sea, and then he disappeared again.
Whether it is Kamigawa or Cong Ren, as long as these two great demon sword cultivators can appear in the human world, all public opinions about humans and demons will be calmed down.
These are two people who personally established the current structure of the world a thousand years ago.
Or there is a third kind.
The two of them looked towards the East China Sea in the human world together.
There is also a great demon sword cultivator on the sword cliff.
Autumn water.
However, Mojian Cliff has been silent for thousands of years and has long since stopped caring about world affairs. It is naturally impossible for Qiu Shui to come forward to see such a thing.
As for Chen Yunxi.
Although the world also heard that he had turned into a demon even before Cong Ren.
But after all, for the world, the reputation of Liuyun Sword Sect is not very good, not to mention, this is a person who has spanned a longer history. Even many great cultivators in the world have never seen this person.
It may not be of any help to such a matter.
Chen Huaifeng stood in the snow in the mountains and forests for a long time, and then said softly: "I can probably guess who is behind this incident."
Gu Shanhong also heard some rumors from Ting Feng Yin and said softly: "But the problem is, we don't know who those people are."
"Don't you have any clues in Lingnan?"
"We never thought that something like this would happen. Even if we decide to close the mountain, we are just blocking the flow of information, rather than actually finding those clues."
Chen Huaifeng said softly: "The news cannot be hidden."
Gu Shanhong was silent for a while and said: "Those who provoke wind and rain will naturally spread the sound of wind and rain to the world, so before those wind and rain blow to the world, Lingnan must blow out the wind and snow faster, even if it is just some fake ones." Wind and snow.”
If Chen Huaifeng is not a member of the Human Sword Sect, then he can naturally take on this matter, just like Zhang Xiaoyu destroyed his reputation and poured sewage into Shanhe Temple.
But the people of the Human Sword Sect cannot get involved in this matter.
Even looking at it from a distance will become the source of some suspicion.
Chen Huaifeng stood there and thought for a long time, and then said softly: "Maybe Qingtian Dao can intervene."
Gu Shanhong turned his head and looked at Chen Huaifeng blankly.
After all, it is a lie that needs to be mended before the truth comes out.
