Chapter 9 Blood Signs

Qingyun Mountain, Xiaozhu Peak.

The peak blew through the green bamboo forest, brought up bursts of bamboo waves, and echoed in the empty valley forest.

Wen Min looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was cloudless and blue. It seemed to have a sense of transparency. She took a deep breath and was in a better mood, but her footsteps did not slow down. She crossed the bamboo forest path, and soon she saw the small bamboo house retreated by Master Shuiyue.

She went to the door, knocked gently on the door and said, "Master, I'm back."

Master Shuiyue's voice came out and said, "Is it Min'er? Come in!"

Wen Min opened the door and walked in. The bamboo house was not big. After entering the door, she saw Master Shuiyue sitting cross-legged on the couch, closing her eyes to refresh herself. She stepped aside and said, "Master."

Master Shuiyue slowly opened his eyes and looked at her. Seeing that she was the only one, he said, "Why, I didn't find anyone?"

Wen Min nodded and said, "Yes, I have been to Sister Lu's residence twice today, but she is not there. I have smelled it to the other sisters, but no one has seen her. Did she go down the mountain on something?

Master Shuiyue was expressionless and said, "Xueqi has always known the importance. If she goes down the mountain, she will definitely let me know. If you can't find her, it's probably..." Her voice paused for a moment and seemed to think of something, so she changed the topic. Team Wenmin said, "Since you can't Go down and practice your own lessons!"

Wen Min nodded, answered, then saluted Master Shuiyue, and then went out. Before leaving, he gently closed the door of the bamboo house.

After Wen Min's footsteps outside the house gradually disappeared, Master Shuiyue's always calm face slowly appeared with a trace of thoughtfulness. After a long time, she sighed in a low voice.

The light shone in from the window of the bamboo house and illuminated the light of the exquisite and simple bamboo house. Master Shuiyue silently got off the bamboo bed, walked to the door, opened the door and went out, leaving a silence in this small space.

The platform is a very secluded place on the small bamboo peak. Whenever the night is clear and the moon is in the sky, the scenery here is very touching. It is said that on the full moon night, the moon is as bright as anyone. After refraction through the white stone of the platform, it is enough to reflect the whole mountain range of Xiaozhu Peak One.

In the past ten years, Lu Xueqi often dances the moon sword here in the dead of night. Master Shuiyue is a teacher who has raised Lu Xueqi since childhood. Like a teacher and a mother, no one knows Lu Xueqi's thoughts better than her. At present, she heard that Wen Min could not reach Lu Xueqi. After thinking about it for a moment, she expected that Lu Xueqi would probably come to this secluded place.

Along the way, the bamboo forest is lush, and at the same time, it is getting farther and farther away from the lively palaces and pavilions in Qianshan. Although Master Shuiyue's own room is also in a secluded place, walking on this path, listening to the endless bamboo waves on both sides of the road, I can't help but feel empty

I don't know if Xueqi likes this place very much because of this feeling?

Master Shuiyue thought quietly in his heart and walked towards the king's platform. Sure enough, she just stepped on the platform and saw the familiar figure in white standing quietly on the boulder on the edge of the lonely cliff. The mountain wind in the endless abyss kept blowing, and Lu Xueqi's white clothes also hunted and flew with the wind.

Tian Yan is still in her hands, quietly emitting a light blue glow.

Master Shuiyue looked at her back and acquiesced for a long time. There seemed to be some complex emotion in her eyes, and her eyes kept flashing. After a long time, she coughed gently.

Lu Xueqi immediately noticed something strange behind her and was slightly surprised. At this time, it was daytime. Xiao Zhufeng's sisters had never come to this remote place. Why did someone come here today, and someone came close to her, but she didn't find it at all.

She turned around quickly, but what she saw was the figure of her mentor Master Shuiyue. Lu Xueqi was stunned and quickly floated down from the boulder. She came to Master Shuiyue and bowed her head and saluted, "Master, why are you here?"

Master Shuiyue had a little pity in his eyes. He pulled Lu Xueqi's skirt with his hand and said softly, "The wind blowing here is quite cold. Although your path is deep, it is not appropriate to blow too much. It's always useless."

Lu Xueqi lowered her head and said, "I know. Thank you for your concern."

Master Shuiyue took a look at her, softened his breath, and said, "Do you have some resentment in your heart as a teacher?"

Lu Xueqi was shocked and said, "Master, why do you say that?"

Master Shuiyue said lightly, "I told you this secret and asked you to go down the mountain. Who knew that God's will played tricks on people? There were several twists and turns, but you had to kill Uncle Dazhu Fengtian, who was controlled by the ancient sword of the Jade Dynasty. And it's still in front of that person.

Lu Xueqi looked gloomy, but slowly shook her head and said, "Master, stop talking. I have already figured it out in my heart. This matter was God's will, and Master himself couldn't think of it. What's more, at the last moment of the day, although Uncle Tian couldn't say anything, I clearly felt his intention in my heart. Uncle Tian also asked me to take action with that sword.

Her voice paused, and her expression suddenly showed a sense of depression, like self-deprecating, like a wry smile, and said quietly, "As for that person... I don't have hope at all. I understand very well. Dazhufeng's Uncle Tian has raised him since he was a child. He has always regarded him as a father, but now he has died in my heart. It would be unbearable for me to be him.

At this point, she looked up silently, looked at Master Shuiyue, smiled desolately, and said, "Master, you don't have to worry about disciples, me. I've really seen it!"

Master Shuiyue felt a pain in her heart. With her experience, Lu Xueqi thought in her heart at this moment, how could she not see that this matter was really too unexpected, and there was no room to turn around. Although she resolutely opposed the feelings of this disciple in the past, at this moment, she finally couldn't bear it.

It's just that if you can't bear it, it won't help in the end. Master Shuiyue sighed gently, shook his head and said softly, "Xueqi, don't be too sad, don't hurt your body."

Lu Xueqi smiled and whispered, "Master, come to this remote place to find me, but what's the matter?"

Master Shuiyue nodded and said, "Yes, there is indeed one thing here. Although it is not big, it seems very strange, and after thinking about it, it is only you who is more suitable."

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

Master Shuiyue took a look at her and said, "Actually, it's still that secret. By the way, did you personally send the body of Gui Li and Tian Buyi to Dazhufeng after the accident happened that day?

When Lu Xueqi heard the word ghost, her face changed slightly, but then nodded and said affirmatively, "Yes, that day he... the man was seriously injured. Although there was no worry about his life, it was too difficult to take Uncle Tian's body back to the mountain alone, and this matter should not be delayed for a long time, so the disciple gave them a ride. However, I also sent it to Dazhu Peak. As soon as they landed, I left.

Master Shuiyue nodded and said, "Yes, it's weird here."

Lu Xueqi was slightly surprised and said, "What's the matter, Master?"

Master Shuiyue said lightly, "As you said, Tian Buyi's body had returned to Dazhu Peak two days ago, but to this day, there is no news of mourning on Dazhu Peak."

Lu Xueqi was shocked and couldn't help frowning.

Master Shuiyue walked aside with his hands behind his back and looked out from afar. He saw clouds and fog in the distance, and Dazhufeng loomed in that direction

She looked at it for a long time and said, "Tian Buyi is the head of the Dazhufeng faction, and his status is not small. As soon as the news comes out, even the real person in charge will have to go to the memorial ceremony, but isn't it a very strange thing that Dazhufeng is not announced?"

She paused for a moment, turned her head to look at Lu Xueqi, and said, "In addition, I also quietly sent someone to find an excuse to Longshoufeng in the morning. I found that Tian Linger was still on Longshoufeng and knew nothing about the news of her father's death."

Lu Xueqi was silent for a long time and said, "I understand."

Master Shuiyue nodded and said, "You are so smart that I don't need to say anything more. In fact, I don't doubt anything. Su Ru is my junior sister. I'm just like sisters, not for others. In fact, I'm even more worried about her husband and wife. I can't think about doing stupid things for a while, but Dazhufeng doesn't mourn for a day. As the head of Dazhufeng, it's not It's really inconvenient, so I have to let you go there again.

Lu Xueqi nodded and said, "I know that in this case, if there is no other loss, I will pass."

Master Shuiyue nodded slightly and said, "Well, you should be careful all the way. If anything happens, please come back early and let me know."

Lu Xueqi answered, saluted Master Shuiyue, turned around, and started with the light of the Tianya Sword God. The man walked with the sword. He only heard a sharp roar of breaking the air, and the man had turned into a blue light and rushed to the sky.

Master Shuiyue looked at Lu Xueqi's slightly hurried figure, just like her usual calm wind. He knew that the stubborn and infatuated apprentice was strong on the surface and put it down in his mouth, but he couldn't let go of it in his heart.

She was silent for a long time, and the thickest was just a low sigh, shook her head, turned around and walked down to look at the platform, and went straight.

Thousands of miles away, Huqi Mountain.

In the ice stone room, the frost is still rising, and the peaceful woman in green is also lying quietly on the ice stone platform as usual.

Lan Ji, with a veiled face, stood alone in the ice stone room, stared at Baguio for a long time, sighed gently, with a lot of helplessness.

In Youji's heart, there has indeed been too much helplessness recently, which made her puzzled, sad, and gradually confused.

First of all, the ghost king has completely changed. In the past, the resolute and decisive ghost king, although he is still a great talent, the intention of killing is getting heavier and heavier in his daily actions. It's only a few days. Because a few small things are against his intention, the ghost king has killed several people in a row, including even Senior Gao Gui Wangzong.

And these little things, two years ago, I'm afraid the ghost king will laugh at them. Youji clearly felt that the ghost king Zongnei was already panicked and everyone was afraid. No one knew that one day he would suddenly die because of some inconspicuous little things.

What made Youji even more sad was that on that day, she accidentally bumped into the ghost king and the ghost fierce and started to move. Although it was only a few scenes, Youji was not an ordinary congregation. She was a rosefinch, one of the four holy envoys of the Ghost King Sect. She opened it clearly. I don't At first, there were already deep cracks, and she saw that the ghost king's few times in his hands may not have no murderous intention.

Her eyes were dark and she looked at Baguio, who was still asleep quietly. It was for this respectable and beautiful woman that the two men came together, but what on earth was it for? Ten years later, they actually came to this point?

Youji really can't imagine what will happen if those two men kill each other one day? And now it seems that this kind of thing may not happen.

"Man, hum, man!"

You Ji read a sentence with hatred in her heart and was upset. When she turned her eyes to Baguio, she turned into a letter. She has always regarded this as her daughter's child. Every time she looks at Baguio, she can't help but feel sad.

While she was thinking alone here, the thick stone door of the ice stone room suddenly made a deep mahogany sound, and someone opened it from the outside.

Youji turned her head and looked at it. After a while, the figure of the ghost king appeared at the door and slowly came in. She couldn't help but be stunned.

The ghost king then saw Youji, nodded to her, and said lightly, "You are also here."

Youji suddenly sneered and stared at the ghost king, but said nothing.

The Ghost King frowned, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes. Now he seems to be particularly prone to anger, which is very different from his previous nature. It's just that Youji is not an ordinary person after all, and the relationship with his father and daughter is not comparable to others. The ghost king has always treated Youji with different eyes. At the moment, I had to say, "What's wrong?"

You Ji snorted and sneered, "Do you remember a daughter lying here?"

The ghost king frowned and said, "What are you talking about? How can I not remember? I only have such a child."

Youji said solemnly, "Well, please tell me, how long has it been since you came here to see Baguio?"

The ghost king was stunned, but he couldn't speak for a moment. A trace of guilt seemed to flash in his eyes. He breathed softly and said, "It's my fault. Recently, the teaching affairs have been complicated, and I'm in a bad mood, so I don't come."

Youji said coldly, "I really don't understand. It's not only you, but also that ghost. What's wrong with you? Both of you seem to have changed a lot!" After saying the last sentence, her tone was still slowly low.

The ghost king didn't seem to care about Youji's tone, but after he heard the word ghost, the ground suddenly sank, hummed and said, "The vertical man doesn't know the general situation. Don't presuppose him in front of me!"

Youji looked at the face of the ghost king and saw a faint anger on his face. When she wanted to say something, suddenly a burst of fatigue came to her heart. For a moment, she felt disheartened. She shook her head and said, "Well, that's all, whatever you want. Anyway, you can take care of yourself. I really can Yes."

With that, she turned around and walked to the door. The ghost king looked at her back and frowned. He wanted to say something to her, but he didn't say anything after all.

Seeing that Youji's hand was about to reach the heavy stone door, suddenly, her hand suddenly stopped in mid-air. Almost at the same time, the ghost king standing behind her also felt something, and the sharp light flashed in her eyes.

An invisible but immable huge force, like a surging tide, suddenly passing through the depths of the earth under their feet. The Ghost King and You Ji are both profound people, and they have been changed by this strange power for a while.

However, Youji was shocked. The ghost king was indeed a little surprised and slightly happy, and his eyes kept flashing.

This strange tide wave after wave, straight as the turbulent sea never stops. Slowly, Youji clearly felt that the earth under her feet was trembling slightly, and the shaking was slowly intensifying.

Her face turned slightly white. The sudden strange power was unimaginable and shocking. It was simply beyond human resistance. Looking back in horror, she saw that the ghost king looked strange and his eyes were dazzling, but she didn't know what he was trying to write. It was just on his face, but there was not much fear.

At this moment, suddenly this room seemed to be wrapped in countless thick mountain rock walls, and the indestructible ice stone room burst out a few crisp sounds in a row, as if something had exploded.

This time, the ghost king's face changed like Youji.

In shock, he hurriedly looked at it, but he saw a few short cracks on the originally solid stone wall. From the fracture, a few small stones kept falling, and at the same time, the land under their feet seemed to shake more and more fiercely.

Fortunately, this strange force seemed to find a vent when tearing the rock of the mountain wall. Shortly after the mountain wall cracked, the two felt the strange and mysterious power in the depths of the earth under their feet, which quickly weakened, and soon the little thing disappeared.

Youji stood silently for a long time and frowned. If the shocking cracks were still on the stone wall from time to time, she almost thought that it was just her own illusion. It's just that the crack is like a knife, but it is really carved on the extremely hard stone wall.

Youji turned her head and looked at the ghost king. Somehow, the ghost king just glanced at her and turned around and looked at Baguio.

"Do you know what's going on?"

A shadow suddenly flashed in Youji's heart, and she had a bad feeling.

The ghost king shook his head slowly and said lightly, "I don't know. Later, I'll send someone to investigate the terrain to see if it was an earthquake."

Youji pondered for a moment and said, "This should not be an earthquake. The turbulent force just now, like a huge wave tide, and there is clearly a sense of murderous air, which is by no means a natural disaster."

The ghost king was silent. After a while, he said, "I will investigate this matter in detail. Don't worry about it."

Youji stared at his back for a long time, and the veil on her face moved slightly. After a while, she didn't say anything more. She turned around, opened the heavy stone door, and walked out.

The stone door slowly closed again in the heavy roar, and the ice stone room fell into silence again. Looking at the beautiful face with a peaceful and slightly smiling face, the ghost king's deep and sharp eyes finally softened.

He sat down silently on the side of the ice stone bed, just looking at Baguio in his eyes, with indescribable thoughts and pain.

It seems that only at this time, when he faces his daughter alone, he will show some weakness.

It's just, who knows?

Or, the ghost king himself, will he understand?

No one knows.

Outside the ice stone room, Youji just left here for a few steps, then stopped, frowned angrily, and looked around.

I don't know that she was in the extremely thick and tight ice stone room from time to time. Although she felt the strange and mysterious power, the damage caused around her was not strong. Of course, the power that could tear a few cracks on the hard stone wall was the same.

However, outside the ice stone room, what she saw was indeed a lot of serious phenomena. In the open and connected corridor of the Ghost King Sect, there was a mess everywhere, and falling rock fragments could be seen everywhere. In the distance, there were people shouting anxiously and moaning in the distance.

Obviously, that mysterious force has had a more serious impact on Huqi Mountain than expected.

And in this busy area, Youji also found another abnormal thing, that is, in these well-ventilated corridors, I don't know when the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.

I don't know where this bloody atmosphere comes from, but it seems to be everywhere. No matter where she goes, she can feel the smell. Although this strange atmosphere is not strong, Youji still feels very uncomfortable, but there are too many troubles for her now, and she is not in the mood to worry about this anymore.

For her, now she is like holding her breath in her chest. Anyway, she just wants to rush out of the mountain belly and go outside to breathe a breath. That's what she thought, so she did.

Youji's figure soon disappeared in this mountain corridor, but the faint and bloody atmosphere still seemed to be quietly permeated here...
