How can there be a brother in the rivers and lakes to have fun?

"Oh...it's not you." Elder Zhengfa didn't seem to doubt it, he still supported Jian Qianshan's shoulder with one hand, and looked at Xingheying, "Then, according to the rules of our sect, killing innocent people indiscriminately should be expelled from the sect. "

Xingheying looked at Elder Zhengfa across the figure of Jian Qianshan, and there was rarely Jian Qianshan and little stars in those eyes.After a moment of silence, he nodded slowly, the corners of his lips curled up in a stiff arc: "...ah."

"After untying the sword, go down the mountain by yourself." Elder Zhengfa said, tugging on Jian Qianshan's sleeve and turning back along the mountain road, "Our sect has undergone tremendous changes now, and we have no time to entertain you. If you have something to do, go down the mountain on a snowy night Please forgive me for the lack of hospitality; if you are not in a hurry, Jianmen can arrange someone to escort you down the mountain tomorrow morning."

He spoke so naturally, as if everything was logical, and there was no Demon Cult leader or Demon Cult young master present.Shui Fengqing looked at his back, it was the same as in his impression.He remembered that this person was the first one among the teachers who decided to become a monk. His Taoist name was Qinggang.Now that more than twenty years have passed, he seems...too old.

"and many more!"

Someone in the crowd shouted out, Elder Zhengfa stopped and looked at him, and Cheng Yunyan looked at him in the same way: "Since this son has killed innocent people indiscriminately, it is natural for the Jianmen to clean up the door. This Taoist priest only expelled him from the sect. Could it be that Jianmen wants to get out of this matter?"

Clear the portal...?

Jian Qianshan suddenly turned his head to look at Xingheying.Standing beside Shui Fengqing, he didn't seem to care about it at all, he didn't take off the long sword at his waist, but reached out and fiddled with the silver silk sword tassel hanging on it.The sword was broken, so he took off the tassel and hung it on a new iron sword, so he could play with it without any problems.Many people's eyes fell on him, either with jealousy or hostility, but he still had a joking smile on his lips, as if he was listening to a joke.

Elder Zhengfa hadn't spoken yet, but someone laughed, with the smell of alcohol in his voice——

"Clean up the door? To put it simply. Shui Fengqing is standing there, don't you have the ability to kill his defiant young master in front of him?"

It was Elder Mingxin who spoke, walking down the mountain road slowly.He didn't hold an umbrella either, the wind and snow slid over his shoulders and chest, and a few snowflakes brushed the open wine gourd in his hand.Elder Mingxin took another sip of wine, wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and stood at a slightly higher place just to stare down at the so-called righteous heroes below:

"This kid came out of my Jianmen. If the rivers and lakes meet again in the future, he will fight if he wants to. If someone of you has the ability to take his life someday, my Jianmen will naturally send you roasted pigs and wine to congratulate you. As for cleaning up the sect -"

There seemed to be a knife flashing in his eyes:

"Master Cheng, you treat me like you from all over the sword sect, and you can casually make people a spearman?"

"You!—" Cheng Yunyan's words were held in his chest, and Shui Fengqing suddenly sneered.

"After so many years, the Righteous Way is still boring." He said, and then stretched out his hand to grab Xingheying's arm, "Let's go, go back." After he finished speaking, he glanced at the Righteous Way again, the corners of his lips slightly raised A touch of mockery, coupled with the blood on his clothes, suddenly carried a murderous look:

"As for you... if you have the ability, come and try."

Xingheying looked at Jian Qianshan, meeting his gaze.After a moment of silence, he reached out and untied the long sword at his waist.His feet moved slightly, but stopped again.He looked at Shui Fengqing, the hand holding the sword tightened, and suddenly he threw his hand, throwing the iron sword into the snow.

Untie the sword and go down the mountain to drive out of the teacher's gate.

He suddenly figured out why there was an iron sword sunk into the big bluestone on Guixu Cliff.

Shui Fengqing looked at him with a half-smile in his eyes, then turned around and walked down the mountain.Xinghe Yinglue slowed down for a moment, then stepped up to keep up, and walked down the mountain on the right path with his back to the entire Central Plains martial arts.Elder Mingxin gave a low laugh, turned around and set foot on the mountain road again, then Elder Zhengfa followed, and Jian Qianshan followed in the footsteps of his own elder.

Feng Heming paused for a moment, took another deep look at Xingheying's back, then turned and followed Jian Qianshan.The snowstorm seems to be getting bigger, some people go up the mountain and some go down the mountain, the snowy night becomes darker as if it will never end, but it is like the last night before dawn.

In front of the mountain gate, the [-] steps are covered with thick snow again.Jian Qianshan walked slowly up the steps with the two elders, and suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he told him on the way home that there are a total of [-] kinds of troubles in the world, and one step is missing when he walks up a step.

——"Then why is it one hundred and four steps?" he asked.

——"Because...life, old age, sickness and death, as a mortal, cannot be avoided."

As a mortal, it is unavoidable, so what if you can prove the Dao, cut off all the threads of love, and become immortal?

Stepping on the last step, Jian Qianshan raised his head and saw the mountain gate carved with white marble standing in the wind and snow.The last time I saw it on a snowy night, someone said to him with a smile, Senior Brother, I like you.

"Elder." Jian Qianshan looked at the mountain gate and stopped suddenly, "I want to go back later."

Elder Zhengfa seemed to want to say something, but Elder Mingxin tugged at his sleeve, then nodded slightly to Jian Qianshan:

"it is good."

Feng Heming seemed to want to say something, but Jian Qianshan just stood in front of the mountain gate without saying a word.Feng Heming stared at him for a moment, suddenly felt guilty, and lowered his head: "Brother, I'm going back first."

"Ah."

Everyone has left, and the heroes of the righteous path are still on the mountain road.Jian Qianshan turned around and looked into the distance, the sky had turned white, so it was almost dawn.

The wind and snow seemed to be gradually getting smaller, and it would probably stop soon.However, the surrounding area was still dark. He looked down the mountain and cast his eyes into the sea of ​​bamboos, but he couldn't see anything.

So he stretched out his hand towards the dark foot of the mountain where he couldn't see anything.There was nothing to hold, and nothing held his hand.With the wind and snow in his arms, at this moment, he truly realized that he was really the only one left in the world.

"..." At the foot of the mountain, in the sea of ​​thousands of bamboos, Xinghe Ying suddenly stopped.

Shui Fengqing didn't seem to be surprised, so he stopped, looked back at him, but deliberately asked: "What's wrong?"

Xingheying turned around slowly, looked up at the mountain top.The eternal night is long, and the head of Changyun Peak is filled with snow.Even though there were strands of white in the sky, the heavy wind and snow and dense bamboo curtains covered his eyes, so that he could no longer see the majestic sword gate on the mountain.

Slowly, he stretched out his hand towards the top of the mountain.

Like wanting to hold something, but also like wanting to keep something.He subconsciously touched the sword tassel by his waist with his left hand, but it was in vain.So he lowered his eyes:

"...wait for me," he said, as if talking to himself.Then raised his head, as if to say to the cold wind blowing on his face:

"I'm sure, I'll be back."
