Once upon a time there was a sword-questioner

Chapter 267

On the edge of the cliff in front of the small building, the two sat casually, their legs dangling in the air, swaying back and forth, in front of the clear waterfall.

Gu Zhiyue leaned quietly on Tang Ge's shoulder, closed her eyes, her slender eyelashes moved slightly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth never disappeared.

Tang Ge gently held Gu Zhiyue's jade hand on his lap, alternately gently, and said softly: "That's right, Qian Yuan has reached the top."

Gu Zhiyue opened her eyes, her bright eyes were shining, and she pouted and said: "Uncle Master, don't you understand Fengqing? Are you talking about cultivation at this time?"

Tang Ge's face froze, and he said awkwardly: "Then let me tell you about the current situation of Kunlun Mountain."

Gu Zhiyue shook her head slightly and said, "As long as you are safe, I don't want to know anything else."

Tang Ge looked away from the waterfall and looked at the mountains farther away, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and the two of them sat quietly like this, the silence speaks louder than the sound.

When the starlight dotted the night sky, the two of them still didn't move, but their hands were held tighter.

Xingguang spread a layer of silver gauze on the bodies of the two who were snuggling together, which was extraordinarily beautiful.

In the huge world, although human beings are small, but when two people are together, loneliness will always be slowly driven away by warmth.

At a certain moment, Tang Ge said: "Come back to Kunlun Mountain with me?"

Gu Zhiyue opened her eyes, starlight fell in her eyes, extremely bright, she said softly: "Is there anything important?"

Tang Ge thought for a while and said, "No."

Gu Zhiyue smiled slightly and said, "It's very quiet here, can you stay with me for a while?"

Tang Ge said: "Okay."

……

……

For the next month or so, Tang Ge stayed with Gu Zhiyue in this small building in Gu Yuedongtian, no one disturbed, quiet and leisurely, and occasionally monkeys would bring sweet and delicious wild fruits.

Except for Bei Yi and Shi Yi, no one knew that the headmaster of Kunlun Mountain had come to Gu Yue Dong Tian, ​​and both of them only saw Tang Ge once, and then they had a tacit understanding and didn't disturb him any more.

The peaceful days are indeed very comfortable. Tang Ge has experienced an unprecedented state of laziness. Because of his company, Gu Zhiyue seems to have turned back to that innocent girl back then.

The group of monkeys could hear her giggling every day, and then let out strange cries of dissatisfaction echoing in the forest.

One month later, on the summer solstice, Gu Zhiyue bid farewell to the head teacher of Beiyi, followed Tang Ge to leave Endless Green Mountain, and headed north all the way to Chaotian City.

……

……

The last time Tang Ge came to Chaotian City was when the ancient ruins were opened, and it has been nearly a year and a half.

It had been six years since Gu Zhiyue last left Chaotian City. That was the first time she went down the mountain and came to Chaotian City. She went to Wenjian Pavilion to find her junior uncle.

When she was looking for Li Tang, she passed by Chaotian City, but she didn't come in.

The scene of Chaotian City seems to have not changed for many years, the same prosperity, and the same crisis everywhere.

Not long after entering the city, Tang Ge found that the atmosphere in the city was extremely tense, and only after inquiring did he find out that something serious had happened a few days ago.

Xue Ru, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was found dead on the couch. There was only a tiny sword wound on his chest, but it pierced the heart directly, which was obviously done by a practitioner.

The Daming Palace was shocked, and Nian Zhiling ordered Tiantian to thoroughly investigate the matter, but after many twists and turns, no clues were found. Whether it was the sword wound on Xue Ru's body or the sword energy left in the wound, they were all very strange, and they had never been in Kunlun before. appeared.

Chi Jing reported the truth to Daming Palace, Nian Zhiling temporarily suppressed the matter, but still let Chi Jing investigate in private.

The Wenjian Pavilion on Zhengyang Street in Zhuque District has been idle for many years, but when Tang Ge and Gu Zhiyue arrived, they found that every corner of the house was extremely clean and must have been cleaned.

Tang Ge thought of Chi Jing and said thanks in his heart.

When Gu Zhiyue stepped into Wenjian Pavilion, she felt completely different from the first time she stepped into it. She looked around, even the rooms she had lived in before, and finally concluded with just one sentence.

Hall Master Chi is really kind.

What satisfied the two of them most was the three brand new bamboo chairs in the courtyard, which should have been put in not long ago. The two of them lay on the old seats, extremely leisurely.

The moment the two stepped into Chaotian City, Chaotiantang already knew that when night fell, Tang Ge asked Gu Zhiyue to stay in Wenjian Pavilion, and went to Chaotiantang alone.

……

……

In Baihu District, Tang Ge sneaked into the night without anyone noticing. In a certain study room in Chaotiantian, with flickering lights, he saw Chi Jing and Ning Zhiqiu.

"well done."

Tang Ge sat casually on a big chair, looked at Ning Zhiqiu and said, "Have you encountered any obstacles?"

Ning Zhiqiu shook his head, but there was some doubt on his face.

Tang Ge knew what he was thinking, but he didn't want to answer his doubts for the time being.

Chi Jing shook his head helplessly, sighed again, looked at it and said, "I find that the little princess is much more difficult than Her Majesty the Empress?"

Tang Ge said: "She is very smart?"

Chi Jing said: "Smartness is a fact. When I came back from Kunlun Mountain, she summoned me into Daming Palace to ask about you and Kunlun Mountain."

"and then?"

Tang Ge didn't ask what Chi Jing had revealed to Nian Zhiling. As the Hall Master of Chaotiantang, he would have his own judgment.

Chi Jing glanced at Ning Zhiqiu, and said: "A few days ago Xue Ru died, and she ordered me to find out the real culprit, saying that this matter might be related to Jiangshan Sheji, I really don't understand, how did she relate to Jiangshan Sheji? "

Tang Ge smiled lightly and said, "The Nian family is really smarter than the other."

Ning Zhiqiu rolled his eyes, thinking, don't you still have a little disciple of the Nian family?
Chi Jing's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "I still want to ask, why did you kill Xue Ru?"

Tang Ge said: "It's not convenient to say now."

Chi Jing looked at Ning Zhiqiu again. Although the latter was puzzled, his eyes were extremely firm, as if no matter what Tang Ge did, he would support him unconditionally.

Tang Ge looked at Chi Jing and asked, "What did Nian Zhiling say?"

Chi Jing put the book in his hand on the case, stared at the flickering lights and said, "Continue to investigate, in short, we must find the murderer who killed Xue Ru."

After speaking, he took another look at Ning Zhiqiu who was sitting in the corner.

Tang Ge said: "Then check."

Chi Jing's old face darkened, thinking how to check?You won't let me catch the real culprit!

Tang Ge ignored Chi Jing's psychological activities and said, "What happened to Duantian Pavilion?"

Chi Jing's face gradually became solemn, and he said in silence for a moment: "I don't know the specific situation, but it seems to have something to do with General Liuyun."

Tang Ge nodded calmly, looked at Ning Zhiqiu and said, "Go ask Jiange Xunzhiyue."

Ning Zhiqiu said, "Where are you going?"

Tang Ge said: "Xuanwu Lake."

……

……

Xuanwu Lake reflects the stars in the sky, like gems inlaid on the surface of the lake like a flat mirror.

Everyone was shocked to varying degrees when they saw Tang Ge who became the head teacher of Kunlun Mountain, except Shangguan Yin.

He stood on the terrace of the small building by the lake, calmly watching Tang Ge come up from the peony bushes.

Tang Ge said, "I want to ask you something."

Shangguan smiled and said: "Yes, but first play chess with me."

Tang Ge said, "I don't know how to play chess."

Shangguan Yin said, "You can learn."

Tang Ge said: "With you?"

Shangguan Yin shook his head and said, "No, you can find someone."

Tang Ge was startled and said, "You mean him?"

Shangguan Yin nodded inexplicably.

Tang Ge said again: "Why?"

Shangguan Yin said: "I want to know his real identity."

Tang Ge asked: "Why don't you go by yourself?"

Shangguan Yin looked at the lake with his hands behind his back, and said, "He won't tell me, and he won't play chess with me, but if you learn some chess skills from him, maybe I can see some clues from the traces of chess skills."

Tang Ge's eyes drooped slightly, he nodded after a while, and left the small building by the lake.

……

……

When Tang Ge set foot in Chaotian City for the first time in the past, he bought a very small house in Zhengyang Street, Zhuque District, and later named it Wenjian Pavilion. There is a mysterious and strange house diagonally opposite to Wenjian Pavilion. The plaque in question is a chessboard on which appears to be an unfinished game.

Tang Ge walked into the Chessboard House in the night and walked through the long corridor. After a while, the bluestone slabs under his feet turned into a soft lawn.

Under the starlight, the out-of-this-world figure was still lying on the stone table to play chess with him. When he sensed that someone was coming, he slowly raised his head, and his star-like eyes fell on Tang Ge.

"It's you, long time no see."

Tang Ge sat down opposite him and said, "Long time no see, I want to learn chess from you."

Hearing this, the man showed joy and said, "Okay, but there are conditions."

Tang Ge asked: "What conditions?"

The man smiled awkwardly, "1000 taels of gold."
