Ye Youqi stared blankly at the line of characters with a vague character, not knowing how to react for a while.

His father, who spent 20 years dragging his crippled legs here, and then exchanged his life for his own - silently but undeniably expressing a father's last love.

He always felt that his father was unwilling and hated. He ruined his life because of a cheat book for no reason. Who would not hate it?Who can be free from resentment?So he listened to Shen Yun's words, accepted the hatred, and entered the Valley of the Evil.

But this small line seems to express that the person who has been hurt the most these years doesn't care anymore.

He stretched out his hand to touch the handwriting, but as soon as he touched the stone body, he felt something was wrong, and knocked suspiciously, but the bottom was actually empty.

Ye Youqi cleaned up all the sand and soil on the ground, observed carefully for a while, and found a thin gap on the ground, and immediately picked it open with the tip of his sword, and found a small space in the small space below. The old bright yellow kit.

The faint smell of white plum and sage fragrance permeated the air, and Ye Youqi remembered that he had smelled this familiar fragrance when he was deaf and blind.At that time, he thought it was the smell of Ye Jiuci, but now that he thought about it, after living in Xiaoyao Peak for 20 years, how could he be so particular about incense?It's just that I don't know how this kit is made, and the faint fragrance has been stubbornly refusing to dissipate after so many years.

The kit was opened, and there were three wooden plaques inside, which looked like famous plaques for blessings in temples, with common peace and joy engraved on one side, and three names engraved on the other.

Shen Shi'an, Ye Jiuci, Ye Fengjun.

Through the small wooden sign, Ye Youqi can almost imagine that before they fell into disaster because of "Kong Mingjue", they were young and dressed in brocade clothes, rode horses and enjoyed themselves, watched the beautiful scenery of the world together, and fell in love with each other. In a temple full of incense, kneel in front of the Buddha and pray for an ordinary good time.

However, 20 years passed by in the blink of an eye, and among those fresh lives, only this wooden sign was left in his palm, dull and cold, caring for each other without words.

"A period?"

Ye Youqi was in a daze at first, but he was finally called back to his soul by this sound.But when he saw his father's belongings suddenly, he was a little depressed, so he just called out in a muffled voice: "Master."

"What's the matter, you look devastated." Liao Yungui put down the cold iron in his hand, and took a closer look, "Is that in your hand?"

"It seems...it belongs to my father." Ye Youqi handed the things in his hand to Liao Yungui, "I wanted to clean it, but I didn't expect that there was a line carved under the straw mat... Then I found this hidden under the stone."

Liao Yungui glanced at the eight characters on one side of the stone slab, then observed the small wooden sign, and asked, "Shen Shi'an, is it Shen Yun?"

"...I don't know, it should be." Ye Youqi reacted a little bluntly, "In the valley, no one called his name, and he never mentioned it."

"I Chang'an... His name really has a good meaning." Liao Yungui said indifferently, "Unfortunately, I have disturbed the world's peace."

"But my father...why do you want to engrave Shen Yun's words?" After being mentioned by Liao Yungui, Ye Youqi discovered that the words "I Chang'an" were actually Shen Yun's words, "Could it be that father doesn't want Shen Yun's words?" Yun revenge?"

"The deceased is dead, it's useless to guess." Liao Yungui returned the wooden sign to Ye Youqi, "No matter what your father thought, Shen Yun has now arrived at Nanping Mountain and is about to wash the Haoqi League with blood. Even if you move out the old man's last words If you give it to him, he won't be able to give up."

"No bloodbath... no." Ye Youqi heard Liao Yungui mention the war, couldn't help but grabbed the opponent's sleeve, and said carefully, "Master, I won't indiscriminately hurt innocent people, I..."

"I made a mistake as a teacher, and it's not for you." Liao Yungui sighed, and held his apprentice's hand, "In the final analysis, the grievances between Qi Yun and Shen Yun were provoked by Qi Yun. It's also justified...it's not something you and I can control."

"I...before I came out this trip, I encountered some strange things in Shen Yun's house." Ye Youqi thought and recalled, "A Yao has always been obedient, but when he arrived at the door of Shen Yun's house that day, he seemed to encounter something terrible. Things, the hairs all over the body were blown up, and I forced my way in... I followed Ayao into it, and saw the ice coffin where my father's body was stored. It was strange, there was no blood in it, but it exuded a bloody smell... ..."

"What's even more strange is that although the ice coffin can keep the corpse from decaying, can it still make the corpse look rosy? I can feel that my father is not dead, but just fell asleep, as if he can sit up in the next second... ..."

As Ye Youqi talked, it seemed that he felt a little scared, and couldn't help but grasp Liao Yungui's fingers tightly.

"In that case, it's indeed a bit strange." Liao Yungui pondered, "I'm going back as a teacher, ask Ziyu...he has superb medical skills and knows many strange techniques in the world, maybe he can clear up some doubts. "

With no other choice, Ye Youqi could only nod his head and agree.

Because of this, Ye Youqi no longer had the idea of ​​courtship, but felt physically and mentally exhausted, and he only wanted to go to bed early.Liao Yungui used to be very vigilant when spending the night in the wild, he seldom slept on a mat, now seeing his apprentice depressed, he simply sat cross-legged in meditation, pressed Ye Youqi's head on his lap, and urged him to sleep.

Ye Youqi was not willing to ask his master to sleep by himself at night, so he immediately objected, but Liao Yungui glanced at him, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and said indifferently: "Are you not obedient?"

Ye Youqi: "..."

The resistance was futile, so he could only obediently lie down with his pillow on Liao Yungui's leg. The faint smell of tea or soap powder on Liao Yungui's body made him feel inexplicably at ease.

Liao Yungui covered his eyes with his hands, and said with a smile: "Go to sleep, Master is here."

The wind and snow in the world never stops, and may even intensify, but at least in the eyes of a stumbling traveler, having a shelter from the wind and rain, with a gentle companion, is enough to withstand half a lifetime of wandering.

It's just that some people are lucky enough to get it, and some people... can't get it for the rest of their lives.

The next day, the master and apprentice descended from Xiaoyao Peak, left the boundary of Kunlun, and headed south all the way.

Almost at the same time, Ji Miao, the second son of Ji Liunian, the traitor general of Cangshan and Erhai, went to Luoyan City alone, and asked to meet the leader Qi Yun.

However, young people in their 20s had no fear in the face of heavy weapons, and calmly untied the burden behind them, and opened it in full view, and there was actually Ji Liunian's head inside.

"Father regretted his betrayal of the alliance, and committed suicide to apologize. Ji Miao, the son of the guilty minister, came today with his father's leader and the letter of dispatching troops from Cangshan Erhai, and is willing to accept all the punishments of the leader on behalf of his father." Ji Miao knelt down and said loudly, "I only hope that the lord will treat Cangshan soldiers and common people kindly, and Ji Miao will not hesitate to die."

The expression on the young man's face was as usual, without any hatred or grief. Qi Yun squinted his eyes, and suddenly felt a little bit of a terrible oppression.

In this world, people who can't see through have always been the most dangerous.

He asked Liao Yungui to get rid of Ji Liunian because he wanted to take back Cangshan's troops. It would be fine if there was one less rebellious general, but the army behind Ji Liunian should not be underestimated.But now, Ji Liunian slayed himself, and Ji Miao personally took the head to Luoyan City to plead guilty - the other party's attitude is impeccable, no matter how much Qi Yun doubts him, it is not good to directly grab the other party's military power .

"General Ji's loyalty is commendable, and Qi is very grateful. The old general was confused for a while. Although his fault was not small, but for the sake of his many years of fighting for Haoqi, he really wouldn't end up with his body and head separated. Let's have a good burial. "Qi Yun said slowly, "As for Cangshan Mountain, it will still be guarded by Little General Ji—I also hope that Little General will not make mistakes and disappoint Qi's hope."

Ji Miao touched his forehead to the ground and kowtowed to Qi Yun: "Thank you, leader."

The undercurrent in Luoyan City is raging, but in a small inn room at the foot of Luoxue Peak in Chengdu, it seems that spring is boundless.

Ye Youqi's middle coat hung loosely on his shoulders, his right hand and right ankle were tied together by a belt, his free left hand was pressed against the pillow, his left leg was placed high on Liao Yungui's shoulder, and with The opponent's movements trembled slightly.

"Master...Don't sleep tonight?...How about...well, next time..." It's been a long time since Ye Youqi couldn't control his voice, so he could only tease him intermittently, "How about next time... ...I don't know when we will meet again..."

The slow and unnegligible grind deepened, causing him to make a long, sweet hum.

"So you're thinking about the next time?" Liao Yungui squeezed his ear with one hand, leaned over and whispered, "You promise that you won't pass out first this time."

"It'll be fine if you faint... ha... just wake up again..." Ye Youqi still refused to give up, and raised his neck and said in a daze, "I want... um... to be closer to Master a little……"

"..." Ever since Ye Youqi became more relaxed in bed, Liao Yungui began to be a little bit overwhelmed by his apprentice's self-taught profligate talk.It was obviously impossible for him to win back verbally, so he had to act instead of answering, lowering his head and sucking and biting on the side of the opponent's neck, leaving a string of purple-red bruises.

There was a lot of affection in the red tent, but when dawn came, they would continue to go south, and then separated at Qutang Gorge, returning to the two hostile sides.

The warmth in the arms can't be kept, and the traces on the body will fade away, but those who have a heart to rely on, even if they can't be invincible, at least, they won't retreat and be afraid.

At least, I will have good dreams tonight.
