Chapter 4 Secrets

The white cold air rising like light smoke floated quietly in the ice stone room. On this day, the cold air in the ice stone room seemed to be much thicker than usual. Even looking at it, there was a little hazy feeling,

There is no longer the clarity of the past.

The stone door made a low roar and slowly opened, but the slim figure that came into sight, somehow, a little blurred.

It's Youji, right?

Gui Li thought so in his heart and walked in slowly. In the cold stone room, the faint cold air drifted away, and the strands, like a dream, enveloped his figure. The woman's figure quietly turned her back to him and stood in front of the ice stone platform, and the cold air around her seemed to be particularly heavy. Even the white air condensed by the cold air was like frost and snow, which was hard to see.

In the air, the looming, echoing sound of crisp bells seemed to be close to my ears.

Somehow, Gui Li subconsciously stopped. Maybe it was somewhat difficult for him to face today's matter, especially after Youji shouted and mentioned Baguio. In retrospect, although Gui Li was a little surprised at the abnormality of the Ghost King today, he could only be silent about his act of counterattacking with all his strength without thinking.

Perhaps, in the hearts of the two men, hatred has already been deeply buried?

However, after all, there is a Baguio in the world. She is lying in this ice stone room.

Gui Li looked at the figure who was a little vague and hidden in the cold, bowed his head silently, and said for a long time, "It was my fault that I took the initiative with Gui Wangzong just now. I don't know how things suddenly turned out like this. Don't be angry. I won't do it in the future."

The figure's shoulder seemed to tremble for a moment, but he didn't say anything. He still kept quiet, but the chill around him seemed to flow faster. Even in the stone room, it seemed to be a little colder. It's just that the ice stone room has always been cold, and the ghost doesn't care.

He softened his breath and stopped talking. Naturally, he knew the relationship between Youji and Baguio. After the death of Baguio's mother, the ghost king was smaller than the affairs of the ghost king, and Youji had more or less the role of Baguio's mother. This can be known from the fact that Biyao has always called Now facing him, especially in this ice stone room, Gui Li actually has a little real feeling of facing Baguio, and he feels deeply guilty about Baguio. Today, he fights with the ghost king, and it is even more indescribable to judge life and death.

For a long time, he sighed and whispered, "I know you are heartbroken. I don't want to see me have another dispute with her father. In fact, I didn't mean it, but at that time..."

He frowned, flashed the abnormal expression of the talented ghost king in his mind, shook his head and said, "In a word, I promise you, in the future, I will always let him a little in the face of Baguio."

The slim figure seemed to move again, but it still didn't turn around, but looking at her back, it seemed that she nodded silently, meaning approval.

Gui Li was silent, silent for a moment, took a breath, and didn't want to say anything more. He turned around slightly and wanted to walk to the ice stone platform and have a good look at Baguio.

It was only his footsteps that he wanted to step out. Suddenly, his whole body froze in such a moment, like lightning, and an idea flashed through his mind, like thunder in his mind, roaring.

Youji's masked veil that has never left her body. Why can't she see the back seen from behind? Almost at the same time, the fierce and chaotic mind immediately thought that the hair style of this back is exactly

The appearance of a girl is absolutely different from the woman in the bun of Youji.

He turned around like electricity and shouted, "Who are you?"

The cold air in the ice stone room was as cold and piercing in an instant. The light smoke around the back began to rotate rapidly in an instant. Gui Li's eyes were wide open, and outsiders invaded this ice stone room, which was absolutely unacceptable to him.

Just as Gui Li was about to move, suddenly a low roar came from behind him. Gui Li was frightened and turned his head and saw the stone door that had been closed behind him slowly opened again, and a figure appeared at the door.

Slim and tall, covered with black veil, and a quiet temperament, but who is she who is not Youji?

Youji opened the stone door, but suddenly saw that the ghost's face looked strange, her eyes were wide open, and the muscles on her face were twisted. Instead, she was shocked and couldn't help taking a step back.

But she is not an ordinary person after all. Then she calmed down and said coldly, "Well, do you still have the face to come here to see Baguio?"

Gui Li stared at her deeply, and suddenly looked shocked. He seemed to remember something very important. He quickly turned around and looked at it. However, he was even more shocked. As if he were in a daze, he stood still and couldn't speak.

In the huge ice stone room, he was in the place where he was located. Suddenly, he completely restored what he should have been. The strange white smoke disappeared, and the looming sound of the bell disappeared. As for the mysterious back, it disappeared out of thin air at this moment.

Everything, as if it were the same as before, is like a dream, an illusion, drifting away...

Biyao lay quietly on the ice stone platform, and there was still a familiar smile at the corners of her mouth. Between her hands, the light on the acacia bell flashed and flowed gently, as if she was staring at the ghost.

Gui Li stood in place, his whole body was tense, as if he had lost consciousness and remained motionless.

Youji, who slowly walked into the ice stone room, soon found that something was wrong with Gui Li. She looked at him and frowned, "What are you doing?"

The corners of the ghost's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything. He just looked up silently and looked at the ice stone room. In addition to the thick stone door, the ice stone room was surrounded by hard stone walls, let alone no gaps. At this moment, those cold stone walls seemed to have some cruel ridicule, cold. Look at some ridiculous people.

The erratic eyes slowly withdrew and slowly returned to the ice stone room, lying on the person lying on the stone platform. In the eyes of the ghost, somehow, there was a little blur, thousands of thoughts rushed like a tide, and the eyes finally quietly fell on Baguio's hair.

"What's wrong with you?" There is already a little impatience in Youji's voice.

The ghost stage put his eyes on it. After a long time, he slowly opened it and whispered, "When you came in, did you see something strange in this stone room?"

Youji stopped and said in a cold voice, "What's the difference? It's not all exactly the same as before, one table, one person."

The muscles at the corners of the ghost's eyes seemed to beat.

Youji was slowly born beside Baguio, with a look of pity and regret in her eyes. After a long time, she said slowly, "I know you're actually having a good time. I just want you to think more about it. If Baguio knew that you actually fought with her father, how would she be?"

Gui Li was stunned and didn't say anything. After a moment, he suddenly shook his head, took a long breath, and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

After saying that, he took a deep look at Baguio, and then turned around and strode out.

Looking at his back, Youji frowned slightly. She intuitively felt that the ghost seemed to be different in peacetime, but then she sighed again. The strange person was not just him. Now she is the master of the ghost king she has followed for many years. Isn't it more and more difficult for her to understand?

She bowed her head silently and fell into meditation. There was a quiet area in the ice stone room, only on the acacia bell in Biyao's hand, the shining light, like clear eyes, flashing constantly, staring at the world.

Qingyun Mountain, Xiaozhu Peak.

In the morning, the breeze blows slowly, and the green bamboo forests all over the mountains shake together. The sound of sand and bamboo waves, like the sound of nature, makes people feel calm. There was a heavy rain last night, as if it had washed between heaven and earth. The fresh air brushed by, the distant mountains were beautiful, and the mountains and rivers were picturesque.

The stone path under my feet is still wet. Occasionally, there is some rain accumulated last night in the cracks of the stone. Many falling bamboo leaves fell on and on both sides of the stone path, which was blown down by the wind and rain last night. It's still early, and no one has come to clean it yet.

The white clothes are like clouds, and the beauty is out of the dust. Lu Xueqi is alone, walking in this bamboo forest path. In the morning breeze, its hair was softly sprinkled on its shoulders, looking at the broken skin, but there was a faint trace of pink in the snow white, like the beautiful flowers blooming quietly in the deep mountains and valleys.

On both sides of the stone path, the high bamboo swayed slightly, and the green bamboo leaves, and condensed dewdrops slid quietly and quietly flew to the earth.

The stone path was deep and curved. The light of the morning penetrated through the dense cracks in the bamboo forest, and the bamboo shadow shook gently, shining on her delicate posture.

A simple bamboo house in front of him gradually appeared, which is the place where Xiaozhufeng's first Shuiyue master sits and practices quietly.

Before walking to the hut, Lu Xueqi stopped at the door, hesitated for a moment, reached out and gently patted the door made of bamboo.

"Master, see you, disciple Xue Qi."

"Come in!" Master Shuiyue's voice came from the hut, without joy or sorrow, as if with the slightest emotion, as light as water.

The door was gently pushed away by Lu Xueqi. Lu Xueqi walked in and saw the master sitting cross-legged on the bamboo bed at a glance. He closed his eyes and looked calm. He couldn't see anything that had changed because of his arrival.

Lu Xueqi silently walked to Master Shuiyue, knelt down and whispered, "Master, the disciple is here."

She paused and said, "Xueqi knows that she is not good. She has lived up to your expectations and made you sad, Master. Please punish me!"

Master Shuiyue slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes fell on Lu Xueqi in front of him. He stared at her for a long time, and then sighed and said, "If I punish you, will you change your mind?"

Lu Xueqi bowed her head silently. She didn't dare to look at her master's face and didn't say a word. She just looked at her expression, but how could she regret it at all?

Master Shuiyue shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Since you are determined and unwilling to turn back, what's the use of me punishing you? That's all. Get up!"

Lu Xueqi bit her lower lip slightly. She seemed to be a little excited, but she still controlled herself and stood up.

Master Shuiyue gently patted the bamboo couch beside him and said, "Sit down, too!"

Lu Xueqi shook her head and said, "Disciples dare not."

Master Shuiyue took a look at her and said, "There's only two of us here. What's there to worry about? After all, don't you hate me, the master, and you have separated from me?"

Lu Xueqi suddenly looked up, shook her head hurriedly and said, "Master, I..."

Master Shuiyue waved his hand and smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I raised you. What's your nature, I don't know yet?"

She reached out and held Lu Xueqi's hand, gently pulled her over and sat beside her. She looked carefully at Lu Xueqi's beautiful and elegant face, took a soft breath, and said, "Anyway, my master, it's all for you. Remember."

Lu Xueqi moved the corners of her mouth and whispered, "I understand that it's actually my disciple's fault..."

Master Shuiyue shook his head and said, "Forget it, up to now, let's no longer argue about who is right and who is wrong. What is love in the world? Thousands of mountains in the evening... These thousands of mountains and rivers, but who can really accompany them for a lifetime?"

Speaking of this, it seems that Master Shuiyue himself also touched his mind and was stunned for a moment.

Lu Xueqi did not dare to disturb the master, but felt the warmth from the palm of her hand, which had been familiar with her for a long time.

I don't know how long it took. Master Shuiyue suddenly shook and woke up from his state of confusion. He smiled bitterly and seemed to laugh at himself. Then he said to Lu Xueqi, "Oh, let's talk about these things later. I asked Wen Min to call you over last night. Did she tell you everything she did?"

Lu Xueqi shook her head and said, "Sister didn't say anything, just told me to come to Master in the morning and say what was there

Master, you will tell me yourself."

Master Shuiyue nodded silently and said, "Yes, although Wenmin knows a little, she doesn't know much after all. Let me talk to you!"

Lu Xueqi's heart was slightly shocked. Seeing that Master Shuiyue's face was a little heavy, it seemed that there was something difficult in her heart. She couldn't help saying, "Master, is there anything difficult? If you need a disciple, please tell me, and the disciple will try my best to do it."

Master Shuiyue nodded and smiled and said, "Of course I believe you, but there is indeed a big event at the moment, but it is a big event related to my Qingyunmen, but I can't let too many outsiders, including the disciples in our family, know. After thinking about it, you are still the only one among the disciples under the door OK. That's why I called you here."

Lu Xueqi raised her eyebrows and said with a slight surprise, "Master, is there anything serious happened to me?"

Master Shuiyue smiled bitterly and said, "Who says it's not enough?"

Lu Xueqi said, "What's the matter, Master?"

Master Shuiyue pondered for a moment and seemed to be thinking about it. Then he said slowly, "Your master, and Uncle Tian Buyi of Dazhufeng, disappeared together a few days ago."

Lu Xueqi was shocked and said, "Are they missing together?"

Master Shuiyue said lightly, "On that day, a disciple of Changmen saw Tian Buyi coming to Tongtian Peak and went straight to the post-rental ancestral temple. During this period of days, everyone knows that the head brother is almost in the ancestral temple of the ancestral temple, and since then, no one has seen them."

Lu Xueqi frowned and was obviously very surprised.

Master Shuiyue took a moment and said, "After this incident, Xiao Yi, who is in charge of Tongtianfeng, dares not cover it up because it is too big, but he dares not announce this matter in any case. He just secretly informed the master of our veins. After that, I also went to the ancestral hall to check, but I didn't expect that it was already..."

Lu Xueqi was stunned and said, "What's wrong with the ancestral hall?"

Master Shuiyue shook his head and said, "The ancestral hall has almost been destroyed, and it can be seen at a glance that it was destroyed by the power of fierce fighting."

"What?" Lu Xueqi shouted softly.

Master Shuiyue sneered and said, "The ancestral hall of the ancestor is the place where my Qingyunmen worships the ancestors of all dynasties. It's really lawless for the two of them to put it in such a solemn territory. And there are more serious things."

Lu Xueqi was surprised and shocked again. She really couldn't think of anything more serious than the destruction of the ancestral temple. She couldn't help asking, "What else?"

"Yesterday, Xiao Yi hurried to me," Master Shuiyue's face became solemn, and his eyes were a little more worried. He said slowly, "According to him, since Brother Daoxuan disappeared, he tried his best to track down and failed. He wanted to check the things left by his master to see what he had found. Unexpectedly, he looked for it There is a big event."

Master Shuiyue closed his eyes, as if he was a little tired. He said, "Xiao Yi just found that the ancient sword of the Jade Dynasty in this door has also disappeared."

Lu Xueqi was stunned and speechless.

Master Shuiyue opened his eyes and said, "I know you are a smart person. Naturally, you know the connections and mysteries. Although the ancient sword of Zhuxian has been damaged, it is too relevant, and most outsiders do not know about the damage of this sword. If it spreads, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome. Besides, there A huge secret is even more important. It has always been known to a very small number of people such as the head of Qingyunmen. If it is leaked, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Lu Xueqi was shocked and said, "Is there any secret of the Jade Sword except that it is a divine soldier?"

Master Shuiyue was silent. After a long time without words, Lu Xueqi did not dare to speak. She stood aside with her hands down and whispered for a long time, "Disciple, I just lost my temper."

Master Shuiyue shook his head silently and said for a long time, "I don't mean to blame you for being a teacher, but it's very big here, and the context is extremely complicated..."

When she said this, she paused for a while, as if she was meditating. After a moment, she said, "In fact, this matter makes sense. Even I, the head of Xiaozhufeng, can't know it. It was because of the chaos a hundred years ago that we accidentally knew the inside story."

Lu Xueqi said in astonishment: "A few people, is it such a big secret? Is there anyone else who knows except you, Master?"

Master Shuiyue said lightly: "In the chaos of those years, those who participated in it were counted afterwards. When there were five people, in addition to me, there were also Dao Xuan's brother, Tian Buyi, and Su Ru's sister..."

Lu Xueqi was listening, but suddenly Master Shuiyue stopped. She calculated silently and couldn't help saying, "There are only four people here, and there is another one?"

Master Shuiyue sighed, and a faint melancholy flashed on his face. He said, "It's your uncle, whose name is Wan Jianyi."
