Sealing Sword

The battle in Mizong Ridge lasted fifteen days, and both good and evil methods were used. This battle was unprecedentedly tragic. It almost turned the entire mountain forest into a bone ridge. At dusk, the blood-stained half of the flagpole fell to the ground with the setting sun, symbolizing the end of this war between good and evil.

The people in Buried Soul Palace were almost completely wiped out. Although the various factions of the Demonic Dao had mutual gains and losses, the overall casualties were still heavy. The large army joined forces to open the gap in the south, and the rest of the mob fell down and scattered like mindless flies. Running wildly in all directions, trying to find a way out, also brought a lot of trouble to the Baidao garrison who stayed behind on the border.

Although Baiguimen has withdrawn from the main battlefield and become a good player on the periphery of the front line, this delicate timing is the most suitable for fishing in troubled waters. Whether it is to take advantage of the opportunity or cast a net, it is necessary to show a certain degree of bias, so Chu Xiwei ordered Detain Qin Lanshang by Sun Minfeng's side, and follow the other party to defend the rear, but she is not allowed to lead people into the charge. First, Qin Lanshang is young and lacks strength, and second, to ensure that the basic position of the Hundred Ghosts Sect will not waver.

Although Qin Lanshang was arrogant, he knew what was right and what was wrong, so he reluctantly left the main force, watched Lu Mingyuan and the others rush into Mizong Ridge, and followed Sun Minfeng and Yingxiu to fight in Qiushuiwu.Over the past few days, she has been driven dizzy by these two people, and she has almost become a spinning top, wishing to cut herself into pieces for use, and her heart, which had become a little arrogant because of her previous achievements, also began to calm down in the busyness.

While intercepting and besieging the remnants of the evil way that escaped from Mizong Ridge with others, she frantically searched for possible survivors of the righteous way, and sent the injured one after another to the tent that Sun Mifeng had set up in advance. Be sure to deeply realize that the four words "people are in the rivers and lakes" are as important as a thousand pounds.

During the war, the blood was thrown from the head, and the wounded body lay moaning afterwards.

When Sun Minfeng entered the tent, he heard the groans one after another. His eyes quickly swept across the wounded patient lying on the ground in front of him. Live up the sleeves.

"Where are you going, Uncle Sun?" Qin Lanshang was covered in blood, sweat and dust, worse than a little beggar. Sun Mifeng glanced at her to make sure the injury was not serious, and waved her to cool off.

Qin Lanshang jumped her feet anxiously: "You can't just ignore death!"

"Girl," Sun Minfeng lowered his voice and said to her earnestly, "Do you know how people call me?"

Qin Lanshang froze for a moment: "Ghost doctor."

"It's a ghost doctor, not a veterinarian." Sun Minfeng said bluntly, "Look at this group of people lined up in a haphazard manner. Do you think they are killing pigs and buying meat? You can't die left and right, so turn around and throw some medicine over yourself!"

Qin Lanshang: "..."

If it wasn't for the loud wailing and moaning in the tent, I'm afraid the "ghost doctor" would really go to hell to practice medicine for ghosts if this sentence was uttered.However, Qin Lanshang looked at Sun Minfeng's black and blue eyes, and couldn't say anything. Everyone knew better than she, who stayed by Sun Minfeng's side all day, how much effort Sun Minfeng had spent outside Mizong Ridge in order to prevent the poison from spreading outside. A medical barrier has been set up, and there are countless people who are seriously injured and dying these days. The whole person has lost a lot of weight, and he has a faint appearance.

She blinked her eyes, swallowed back the words that came to her lips, and said politely: "Okay, I'll watch here, Uncle Sun, go and rest for a while."

Sun Minfeng was very pleased with this girl's understanding of current affairs, and deeply felt that his ten years of hard work had not been in vain, but he could not rest as he said. After all, although the war is over, there are still remnants of evil, and the things in the world are most afraid of losing. one.

He yawned when he walked out of the tent, tears welled up from the corners of his eyes, which made a man in his thirties look childish.

The medicinal powder sprinkled in the water has already dissolved and diffused. Yingxiu sent people to collect the mountains and terrains of Qiushuiwu. The medicinal barrier has been lingering in the forest for a long time. If there is no external force to destroy it, when the sun rises tomorrow, the poison that may be missed here will be there. You will die, and you will be able to sit back and relax from now on.

The righteous knights deployed here and the subordinates of Baiguimen and Anyu all performed their duties. Most of them stick to their posts, and the rest are divided into two groups. Collect corpses and look for possible survivors on the battlefield.

It was in this pile of corpses that he saw Xiao Yan's bones.

Later today, the last wave of remnants of the Burying Soul Palace rushed out from Mizong Ridge, led by Xiao Yangu, I don't know if he wants to fight with them, or he wants to escape with all his might.However, they were unlucky, and when they went down the mountain, they were noticed by Yingxiu's guard post, and the Qiushuiwu garrison almost came out in full force to force this group of people into the dense forest. Leaving them in the woods, if so, the casualties of their own side are not optimistic.

At this time, they dragged out many corpses from the forest, some of them were enemies and others, and some of them were completely unrecognizable, with mutilated bones, and their original identities could no longer be recognized.Originally, Sun Minfeng just glanced casually, and his eyes fell on the woman who was crushed under the pile of corpses.

Xiao Yangu is the best at transfiguration. Before the Wenchanshan incident, it was difficult for outsiders to know her true face in Mount Lu. It was not until after that day that she remembered her appearance. I don't know how many people wanted to eat her flesh raw.

Sun Minfeng didn't have much feeling for her, the confrontation between Buried Soul Palace and Hundred Ghosts Sect, and the status of Zhao Bing'e's successor were all irrelevant to him, until he looked at those tight-fitting hands at this moment. With his eyes closed, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt that this scene looked familiar.

He squatted down, tore off a corner of his clothes under the surprised eyes of others, poured some clean water from the leather pouch, and wiped off the blood on that face little by little.

Xiao Yangu is undoubtedly extremely beautiful. Not only are her eyebrows beautiful, but her cheeks are slightly plump like a baby's, making this woman charming and pure at the same time. In terms of appearance alone, among the women Sun Minfeng has seen in his life, Only Yingxiu can compare with it.

However, Sun Minfeng was not sensual, he just felt that Xiao Yan looked familiar from this casual glance.

Seeing this, the body collector asked in surprise, "Mr. Sun, you..."

"It's nothing." Sun Mifeng woke up with a start. He got up and watched his beautiful face wither, feeling inexplicably unbearable, "Don't forget about the past, let's incinerate their bones and bury their ashes on the spot."

The person who asked the question was a young man, and he was a little puzzled when he heard the words: "For a female devil like Xiao Yangu who has committed many crimes, it's not enough to blow her bones to ashes. Why do you have to be kind to these evil people?"

"Go as soon as I tell you, why are you so talkative?"

The soft female voice came from far to near, and the voice was already cold when she finished speaking, the questioner trembled, nodded quickly in response, and remained silent like a cicada.

Sun Minfeng turned around to look, Yingshou walked back against the setting sun, and Anyu's subordinates behind him quietly dispersed and disappeared into the crowd again.

He smiled slightly: "Is there any gain from going out?"

"A bunch of loose sand, it's not worth mentioning." Ying Xiu raised her hand to stroke the messy hair on her forehead, but Sun Minfeng grabbed her wrist.

The martial artist instinctively made Ying Xiu subconsciously turn her backhand, and there was a soft sound from the man's arm, she quickly let go, watching Sun Minfeng's left arm hang down unnaturally, even if it happened unintentionally, it was rare embarrassment: "Hold, sorry .”

"It's because I have many hands with Meng Lang. I don't blame Yingxiu girl." Sun Minfeng's face turned pale, obviously in pain, but while he skillfully pinched his wrist to reset himself, he looked at Yingxiu's right arm, his gaze Wei Shen, "The one who can hurt Yingxiu girl is also the generation of loose sand?"

In order to facilitate stealth in combat, Ying Xiu had already changed out of the snow silk dress, and put on a strong suit with red stripes on a black background. Even the cuffs were bound by red ropes, which could hide hidden weapons even if it was dirty.

She stroked her forehead hair just now, which just exposed the inside of her right arm. Black clothes are the best at hiding dirt and dirt, even if it is stained with blood, she can't see clearly. Slowly expand.

Yingxiu didn't expect him to be so subtle, and couldn't help joking: "It is said that my daughter's family is as careful as a hair, but I didn't expect the ghost doctor to be a big man, but his eyesight is sharper than the tip of a needle."

Sun Minfeng smiled and said, "I don't have good eyesight, but I can see clearly and remember you."

Ying Xiu's eyelashes trembled, and after a pause, she didn't answer, but swept her eyes over Xiao Yan's skeletal corpse, and then winked at Sun Minfeng.

There were many people in the camp, and the two went to Yedukou side by side.The wind blows the wild grass and bows his head, no matter whether he is hiding or prying, there is nothing to hide under his gaze, Ying Xiu rolled up the sleeve of his right hand, revealing a bloody scar on his forearm.

This should be a sharp weapon like a hook or a scimitar, the tip of which breaks through the skin and penetrates into the flesh, and with a hook, if it wasn't for Ying Xiu's quick reaction, the whole tesufa might be pulled out.Sun Minfeng frowned, held her arm and examined it carefully, and pressed his fingers around the wound, it was as light as a feather falling into spring water, and Ying Xiu didn't feel any pain at all, but a little itchy.

"The murder weapon was not poisoned, and the wound was not as deep as the bone. It's okay." Sun Mifeng let out a long sigh of relief. After pushing out the pus and blood for her, he opened the cloth bag that he carried with him, and washed the wound with strong wine mixed with clean water, and then gave it to her. She put on the medicine and bandaged it meticulously, as if everything was gone, only this injured hand remained.

Yingxiu is used to seeing love affairs in her life and has heard too much love between men and women, but it is the first time that she is treated so tenderly and meticulously by a man. It is not like the hazy and ambiguous scene with Gu Xiao back then. This feeling is not intense, just like a scripture Years of medicinal wine, mellow in the mouth, flows through the heart.

She blinked, looked at Sun Minfeng's movements, subconsciously withdrew her usual soft tone, and said in a low voice, "I don't feel pain."

Yingxiu's words are true. As the owner of Mingzhu Gambling Workshop, she has a high position in Xichuan dark net, but her reputation is full of bones. In order to gain a foothold in development over the years, she has already had old wounds and new wounds on her body. Hiding in a place where outsiders can't see, he has long since ignored the pain of flesh and blood.

"Some people are used to enduring pain, so I have to get used to hurting others." Sun Minfeng smiled, tied the gauze carefully, and then put down his sleeves to cover the wound underneath.

After he finished all this, he felt relieved, and picked up the question he had just asked: "Did Yingxiu girl encounter a hard point?"

Ying Xiu didn't answer directly, but instead asked: "I saw you just now, did you know Xiao Yangu?"

The smile on Sun Minfeng's face faltered slightly, and Ying Xiu also waited patiently.

After a while, Sun Minfeng finally opened his mouth, with a rare hesitation in his tone: "I'm not sure, I just think she looks like a person..."

Thirteen years ago, Sun Minfeng was still called Sun Yue. In his hometown of Cangxue Valley, he worked as a hermit mountain doctor who kept his ears to the outside world. He studied the medical classics left by his ancestors, went up and down the mountain to buy herbs, and gave them to people in the town from time to time. Dealing with some difficult and miscellaneous diseases, not well-known, but also happy to be at ease.

Until that day, when he went out to collect herbs in the early morning light, he looked up inadvertently, and saw a stumbling woman passing by on the hillside, and then suddenly rolled down.

When Sun Yue ran over, she had passed out, with more than a dozen wounds of varying shades on her body. If she hadn't had a strong desire to survive and a good foundation in martial arts, she might have died long ago.

People in Jianghu are full of right and wrong, Sun Yue has always avoided this kind of person, only that time, he was held tightly by the corner of his clothes by a woman's hand, and he heard her last murmur - help me.

"She wears a human skin mask. Although I saved people, I didn't want to cause trouble in vain, so I never peeked into her face..." Sun Minfeng's gaze was a little far away, "Until she left, I didn't know how long she was. How does it look like?"

Ying Xiu looked at his face: "Do you like her?"

"I...ha, that was the first Jianghu person I met, and she was also a taciturn but sensible girl. We met by chance at that time, so why talk about love and hatred? However, if there is no later incident, maybe ..." Sun Minfeng withdrew his gaze, and the smile on his lips turned into regret.

The unknown girl stayed in Cangxue Valley for three months without mentioning her identity and origin, and even let Sun Yue call her by her name.She was recuperating in that isolated place, and Sun Yue listened to her softly talking about the people and things in the world. At that time, she was young and full of youth, and even though she had no thoughts of beauty, the seeds of Mu Ai's affection fell on her eyebrows. It was a pity that before it took root and sprouted, it was pinched by the woman herself and stopped abruptly.

That day was Sun Yue's 23rd birthday, and the woman cooked him a delicious meal, drunk him with spirits, and was unconscious for three days.When Sun Minfeng woke up, he found that he was hidden in a hidden cave, his head was covered with thick gauze, and it hurt when he touched it.

There is a piece of letter paper next to him, which is written in a woman's beautiful handwriting, but he doesn't mention this matter, telling him not to go back to Cangxue Valley, and forget all the things in the past, and change his appearance.

"I don't know what happened, so I can only search in the mountains without thinking. Finally, I returned to Cangxue Valley, and found that the wooden house there was burned down, so I had to leave the place where I was born to seek There is a way to survive, but I am a person who does not know martial arts, no matter how good my medical skills are, I can't protect myself, until I met the old sect master and was brought into the Hundred Ghosts Sect..." Sun Mifeng touched his face, and smiled wryly, "Later I dismantled After taking off the gauze, I realized that the face raised by my father and mother was gone, and I became like this."

Yingxiu was startled, she looked at Sun Minfeng's picturesque face, from the forehead to the chin, from the eyes and ears to the lips and nose, there was no sign of changing skin at all.

There are very few people in the world who can have such uncanny craftsmanship.

"The letter said, 'We will part ways from now on; we will settle our grievances and enemies, and we will be safe'. I thought it was her enemies who came after me, and she could only use this method to let me live. I know that I can’t criticize her, but there will be nothing more.” Sun Minfeng raised his eyes, “Until I saw Xiao Yangu’s closed eyes just now, she was vaguely reminiscent of her old friend, but unfortunately she is already dead, and there is no way to deal with it.” ask."

Ying Xiu was silent for a moment, then said: "What if I say that the person who hurt me was Xiao Yangu?"

With the siege in the forest in the later afternoon, Yingxiu couldn't rest assured. Thinking that the waterway was guarded by the Surabaya gang and the "water ghosts" of the Baiguimen, he led his men into the mountains to patrol, but he did not expect to meet a team of strong The remnants of the evil way, it is difficult to tell which sect or sect it is just by looking at its clothes, and it is only from the subordinates to tell the victory or defeat of life and death.

The more Ying Xiu fought, the more frightened she became. There were only a few hundred of these people, but all of them were good players. The thin man in the head was not impressive, but he used a scimitar in one hand, but it was extremely fierce and cunning. With her double blades, she only fought with each other In the end, she slashed at the man's face at the cost of her arm injury. Although she didn't pierce the bone or flesh, she cut through the exquisite human skin mask.

The hideous knife marks almost split the mask in two. With such a face, the man was almost as terrifying as a painted-skinned ghost. Without saying a word, Yingxiu knew that this was the real Xiao Yangu. The one in the forest was nothing but It was the scapegoat she left behind as a cover.

Hearing this, Sun Minfeng's brows twitched, he couldn't see the look of joy or anger, but he affirmed: "You let her go."

"It's more valuable for her to leave alive than to die here." Yingxiu narrated her opinion plainly, "Right now, the Palace of Buried Souls is destroyed, and the way of magic is like a plate of loose sand. , the battle between good and evil rarely comes to an end, leaving her to operate in the dark, and watching the internal turmoil in the devil's way erode it is better than both sides fighting to the death."

She took advantage of the chaos to escape this time, and she was buried with Mizong Ridge along with her identity. After leaving here, she will be a newcomer with a new look. In the future, she will go to the chaotic northern Xinjiang to take the opportunity to regroup. Schools compete for food and merit.With Xiao Yangu's temperament, compared to Helian Yu's bloody pressure, she has neither the capital nor the madness to dare to be an enemy of the world, so she will definitely choose to lie dormant and wait, and rise up in the dark, while the people in the swamp Poisonous snakes are more unpredictable than tigers on the plains.

Sun Minfeng smiled slightly: "Master also said that Xiao Yangu is a smart person."

After he finished speaking the last word, it was as if he had let go of the mess that had been entangled in his heart for a long time. The corners of his eyes and brows were stretched out, and his whole body was as warm as a spring breeze to an incredible degree.

Looking into those eyes, Yingxiu felt that something was scattered into smoke and flew away with the wind before his eyes.

She suddenly asked: "In the future, what plans does the ghost doctor have?"

"Me? I've always been an idler. After I've been busy for a while, I should go back to Dongming Valley to be lazy and enjoy the blessings. Afterwards, I will walk around the world, why not do it?" Sun Mifeng paused, "It's Yingshou girl, and now the war in Xichuan has stabilized. It is also a rare time for the various forces to recuperate their minions and recuperate, what does the girl want to do?"

Yingxiu's expression is rare.

She was accepted as an apprentice by Jiang Muxue since she was a child. From then on, it is her duty to learn martial arts, practice martial arts, and deal with things rationally. Sleeves always know what they should do, but never think about what they want to do.

After a moment of silence, Ying Xiu murmured: "I... have no idea."

"In that case, how about asking the girl to accompany me around the world? The next medical doctor who has no power to restrain himself has the audacity to invite a female bodyguard with both talent and beauty to accompany him." Sun Minfeng smiled and narrowed his eyes, "The current season It’s already winter, let’s wait and see what’s going on here, it should be the time of the beginning of the cold spring, when the grass and trees will bloom first and everything will recover, whether it’s the thin snow on the high mountains in Dongling, or the blooming flowers in the south, it’s a good place to go. The good years are all detained in Xichuan?"

Looking at his smile, Yingxiu suddenly remembered the time when she saw that heroine Gu many years ago.

The refreshing girl who roamed the rivers and lakes sealed her sword and came to say goodbye to Jiang Muxue. The little Yingshou stood beside her master and looked at Gu Huafang's back. She didn't understand at that time, but only later did she realize how much responsibility one has in this life , Chivalry is a responsibility that will not be regretted until death, but in the end, there is still an inch of tenderness to be left for the heart.

She didn't speak for a long time, and Sun Mifeng didn't urge her, her eyes seemed to become two mirrors, taking in the last bit of warm light from the setting sun.

Until Ying Xiu held his hand and walked back and forth, the skylight elongated the shadows of the two of them, walking side by side across the devastated land.

Karma gathers and disperses like running water, and the blooming and falling of hearts is human feelings.
