Good and good [Comprehensive martial arts]

Ximenyan had imagined countless times what it would be like when she saw Acheng again. She thought that at that time, Acheng should have grown from the child who still needed her to be an independent, wise, capable and responsible person. adults.

She thought that after 20 years of distance, she would cry and feel unfamiliar.After all, there is too much time and space between them. This distance will always exist, and it cannot be filled and there is no need to fill it at all.

But to Ximenyan's expectation, when she really saw Ye Gucheng again, seeing the former little boy grow into a stalwart and reliable man, Ximenyan felt relieved, but there was no big disturbance in her heart—— — It's as if she watched him go to study and practice sword yesterday, and he came back from school in a blink of an eye.

Ximen Yan raised her head and looked at the junior brother who was already as tall as her master, she could only raise her hand and patted his head, and said with some relief and feeling, "Ah Cheng has grown up."

Ever since Ye Gucheng became the lord of Baiyun City, his mother and the elders of the family have always taught him to be calm and prudent, and it has been a long time since anyone has touched his hair. After all, no one would be so intimate with him anymore.

Ye Gucheng felt all sorts of feelings in his heart, but after all, he was no longer the immature child who held the corner of the senior sister's skirt in the past, and slightly tightened the corners of his mouth, Ye Gucheng called out in a low voice: "Master."

He is actually not good at chatting with people, but his childhood memories flooded back. Ye Gucheng, a man of few words, couldn't help but say to Ximen Yan: "For 20 years, the elder sister has not changed at all, but Ah Qing was born with the same personality. You are too similar to your senior sister, I am afraid that within a few years, people in the Jianghu will mistake you mother and daughter."

In fact, Lu Xiaofeng also said similar things, but Ximenyan just smiled, but didn't take it to heart.And Ye Gucheng obviously doesn't know how to coax women, and Ximen Yan couldn't help laughing when he even said that.She doesn't smile often, but when she smiles, it's like the ice is breaking, making people almost unable to look away.

Yu Qingxue often smiles too, but when she smiles, she is like a cunning civet cat. There are always thousands of bad ideas hidden in those strange-colored eyes.And with the same face, her mother's smile was like a glacier just melting, with the breath of ice and snow, but also tainted with the warmth of the world.

Ye Gucheng said that in a few years, people in Jianghu might misidentify their mother and daughter, but anyone who is familiar with Yu Qingxue knows that there is not much probability of that.Yu Qingxue is Yu Qingxue, she will never become her mother, nor will she become the second Jade Rakshasa.

This point, in fact, her friends know it well.

There is actually nothing to hide about the relationship between Yu Qingxue's family and Ye Gucheng.Just to make it easier for Ye Gucheng and his mother to reminisce about the old days, Yu Qingxue cleared up the scene early in the morning, and pulled out Lu Xiaofeng, Chu Liuxiang, Hua Manlou and his party, so that if her family could not move when they saw the little uncle Moving - well, actually, the elder brother who was eager to fight with him was also dragged away, and Yu Qingxue hit her elder brother mercilessly.

"Okay, okay, Axuexue, I have already fought him. If you want to fight him, at least you can beat me first." Yu Qingxue poked Ximen Chuuxue's face without the slightest fear .

Her elder brother has a secret that no one else knows, even Lu Xiaofeng has never thought about, that is, when he smiles, there is actually a small dimple on one side of his cheek.The dimple was inherited from Jade Raksha, but it was born in the opposite direction from Jade Raksha.

When Ximen Chuixue was young, Yuxue was cute - although, until now, Yu Qingxue still couldn't figure out how her old housekeeper could link this time with her elder brother against his conscience.However, according to their description, it is said that his elder brother could still be associated with the word "cute" before he practiced swordsmanship, and that little dimple has turned over how many people in Wanmei Villa.

It's a pity that Ximen Chuuxue formally embarked on the kendo at the age of seven, and since then it's rare to see his dimples again.But the more uncommon it is, the more curious it is, so Yu Qingxue always pokes Ximen Chuuxue's face from time to time, wishing to poke that little dimple out again.

Ximen Chuuxue just raised his hand to hold the young girl's rebellious paw, but his eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.He fixedly looked in the direction of his mother and Ye Gucheng, and said softly: "One day."

Ximen Chuuxue already faintly felt that he seemed to be on the verge of breaking through, but he still lacked an opportunity.The martial arts of their brothers and sisters were originally between brothers, but this time Yu Qingxue has experienced in the world, and soon found this opportunity.She also knows that she is not really better than her brother, but she is lucky to be able to go one step ahead of her brother.

Yu Qingxue grew up in the desert, which is more cruel and bloody than the Central Plains, and believes in power more, but it is also more straightforward and innocent.In the desert, there are not so many twists and turns in people's hearts. It has always been whoever has the biggest fist.But this trip to the Central Plains, Yu Qingxue has seen the hearts of ghosts and ghosts, and met many strange people.She opened the door to a new world, and the martial arts of the Western Demon Cult she practiced was inherently erratic, like gods and demons, so Yu Qingxue was able to suddenly detach her mind and improve her martial arts by leaps and bounds.

And Ximen Chuuxue said that he was out of the world, but in fact he has been entering the world.Compared with Yu Qingxue, the opportunity for his breakthrough is more subtle and rare.

But Ximen Chuuxue is the most patient person, he can wait.

Ximen Yan and Ye Gucheng chatted a lot, but the two people who are not good at words can talk endlessly.Ximen Yan's face was calm, listening to Ye Gucheng talking about the situation in Baiyun City over the years.Baiyun City is very good, Ximenyan has already heard about this, and after hearing Ye Gucheng's more detailed introduction, Ximenyan was even a little surprised that her little brother could do this.

After a long time, Ximen Yan said, "Ah Cheng, although senior sister never watched you grow up, you will always remember that we are a family." Because we are a family, we should help each other.Ximenyan understands her man, and her sons and daughters even more. If they feel that it is inappropriate to have a close relationship with Baiyun City, then she will not stand here to meet Ye Gucheng today.

The man she chooses understands her and understands her, and her children are even more considerate of her.Therefore, they accompanied her here, which already showed that they were willing to help her.

The unprovoked death of Ye Xingge back then was a permanent thorn in the hearts of Ximen Yan and Ye Gucheng, but Yu Qingxue and the others were no longer prepared to keep this thorn in their mother's heart.

Ye Gucheng's amber eyes moved, he slowly raised his head, and just said: "That's what I should do." He came to look for the senior sister just for the promise and friendship he had made back then, and he didn't want to ask The meaning of the senior sister borrowing strength.Ye Gucheng always does not want Ximen Yan to misunderstand this point.

Ximen Yan put down the teacup in her hand heavily, but her usually gentle face showed a bit of seriousness that could not be disobeyed. She also looked back at Ye Gucheng firmly, and said word by word: "That's my master. , and my teacher's wife's life, this enmity is still alive, how can I feel at ease?"

Standing up suddenly, Ximenyan turned her back, but her voice was choked with sobs: "Ah Cheng, they only raised you for seven years, but...but they raised me for 13 years! Thirteen years, Ah Cheng! No Master and wife, where should Ximen Yan be today?"

Its pain is piercing, and its hatred is piercing.For so many years, Ximenyan and Yu Luocha have been deeply in love, and they have a pair of children who have grown up lushly. She seems to have started a new life, but those nights awakened by nightmares, those tossing and turning hatreds, Reasonably, Ximen Yan knew that she should wait for Ah Cheng to grow up, and then let him find out the truth of the matter himself, and avenge Master and Mistress, but it is impossible for a person to live rationally forever, Ximen Yan still chose to pursue it—not to give up follow up.

If not, how could a person like Yu Luocha tolerate his wife staying in the Central Plains for such a long time.In the early days, he built Wanmei Villa and let his wife and children live here. Because of the unstable situation in the western demon sect in the desert, he was a bit incapable of taking care of his youngest daughter, and his son had no ability to protect himself. Yu Luocha was on the safe side Only then did his wife and son live alone in the Central Plains, while he carefully traveled back and forth between the two places.

But now, the Western Demon Cult seems to be contending with multiple forces, but in fact Yu Luocha has already controlled most of the forces.As for the sporadic people who have different intentions, they are just left by Yu Luocha for the youngest daughter to practice.

In this case, Yu Luocha hasn't brought back his wife and children because Ximenyan wanted to investigate the truth of the incident in the Central Plains.Most of Jade Rakshasa's wealth still comes from collecting small countries around the desert and letting them "pay tribute" to the Western Demon Cult on a regular basis, while the followers of the Western Demon Cult guarantee the stability of those small countries-this model is similar to that of the royal family in the Central Plains. There is not much essential difference.

And the shops belonging to Yu Luocha that are blooming everywhere in the Central Plains are not so much for making money, but rather a huge news network that Yu Luocha and Ximen Yan spent years building to explore all kinds of secrets.Compared with Nangong Ling's beggar gang, the information obtained by their shop is more accurate.

And because of Ximenyan, although Yu Luocha and Shi Guanyin were at odds, there was a trend of "joining hands" in more aspects. Coupled with the recent transfer to Tsing Yi Building under Wuhua's name, there is almost nothing in this world that they can't detect.

It's just that it has been a long time since the death of the old city lord of Baiyun City. Even if these people are very capable, it will always take some time to restore the truth of the matter.

As her own mother's caring little padded jacket, Yu Qingxue has ordered this matter from the day she met Ye Gucheng, and even communicated with Ye Gucheng.

"Little uncle won't dislike me for doing it for me, right?" The little girl asked that day, and the little fat claw still held on to her two knives tightly, for fear that her two knives would be sucked together with Ye Gucheng's sword as soon as she let go. .Speaking of which, Yu Qingxue was also surprised, she knew that her swords were heavier, so why wasn't Ye Gucheng's sword being sucked in, but her swords always ran towards other people's swords?

Of course it was because Ye Gucheng was secretly exerting force to prevent his black scabbard sword from being sucked over.Calmly moved his long sword to the side, Ye Gucheng frowned and said, "I already have some ideas about this matter, you children don't need to participate."

Yu Qingxue, who was called a child, restrained the smile on her face, she bullied Ye Gucheng fiercely, and the sweet and soft voice just now brought out traces of coolness unconsciously."I'm not for you," she said.

That's right, so much effort, she is not for Ye Gucheng, but for her own mother.This is the scar in mother's heart, it is mother's old hatred, as a child, it is impossible for Yu Qingxue to sit idly by.She practiced martial arts so hard, and worked so hard in scheming, in order to protect the people around her.

She is not for Ye Gucheng, but for her mother.

Ye Gucheng didn't seem to have expected that the sweet little girl would change her face inadvertently just now, but he didn't froze for a long time, for a moment, Ye Gucheng even had a feeling of "it should be like this".

He was really not wary of her, because she was so similar to the elder sister in his memory, and she often looked like a little girl.Ye Gucheng has preconceived ideas, and sometimes he really simply treats Yu Qingxue as a junior in the family. She is young and a girl, so Ye Gucheng will always have a somewhat "deceitful" mood.

Although the Lord of Baiyun could coax a child, this incident itself would probably be shocking in the Jianghu.

However, Yu Qingxue was raised by Yu Luocha as his heir after all, not to mention walking out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood, but the bloody and killing she has seen since she was a child is probably no less than that of an old Jianghu.It can even be said that Ye Gucheng is the Lord of the South China Sea, but Yu Qingxue is not the Young Lord of the Desert?

Without Ximen Yan's relationship, they should be considered equals.Ye Gucheng suddenly realized this, and quickly adjusted his attitude towards Yu Qingxue—at least he adjusted his attitude towards Yu Qingxue like him.

A businessman has a saying that "business is about business", and Ye Gucheng is not willing to accept Yu Qingxue's help for nothing, even though in Yu Qingxue's view, she is for her own mother, not helping Ye Gucheng.Therefore, in the end, Yu Qingxue and Ye Gucheng agreed to each rely on their own abilities, that is to say, whoever finds out the location of the enemy's family first will take revenge first.At the same time, a commercial route between the desert and Baiyun City was officially opened.

The desert and the ocean sound like two irrelevant words, but Daan has a peculiar landform. In fact, there is an oasis in the hinterland of the desert, and across this oasis is a vast ocean.Because of the agreement between Ximen Yan and Ye Gucheng's mother, this trade route has never been opened, but now, it is time for the two places to open up trade.

Yu Luocha felt that in this life he had nothing to do with two women, one was his wife and the other was his daughter.It is rare that Ye Gucheng also experienced the feeling of Jade Raksha once.Looking at the agitated elder sister, Ye Gucheng sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to tell her the content of Yu Qingxue's conversation with him before.In his heart, Ye Gucheng didn't want the senior sister's family to get involved in this matter, but now it seems that he can't stop it.

In short, this matter cannot be accomplished overnight, and Ye Gucheng can only accept it for the time being.

It wasn't until Ximen Yan's mood gradually calmed down, and she returned to her usual gentle and indifferent appearance, that Ye Gucheng finally opened the door and called all the people outside the door in.

His eyes fell on Ximen Chuuxue who was holding a sword in white in the courtyard, and Ye Gucheng unconsciously let go of his restrained sword intent.His swordsmanship has reached the peak, and the sword energy around him can already be retracted freely.Ximen Chuuxue gives people the impression that he is a peerless weapon without a scabbard, with unparalleled sharpness and courage.Compared with Ye Gucheng, he is more restrained, his sword intent has been quenched into the bone marrow, becoming a part of himself.Since there is no need to use it deliberately, Ye Gucheng is his sword itself.

Ximen Chuuxue knows better than anyone the difference between letting go and restraining. This is the gap between him and Ye Gucheng.At first glance, this gap is only a thin line, but Ximen Chuuxue also knows that just this so-called "a thin line" is very likely to be a gap that many swordsmen will not be able to cross in their entire lives.

Turning into a high mountain and looking up, Ximen Chuuxue looked at Ye Gucheng, with some joy and scorching heat in his eyes.

Ye Gucheng was also looking at Ximen Chuuxue.In fact, the difference in age between them is only seven|eight years, but the seniority is there, he is the elder of Ximen Chuuxue, this is an irrefutable fact.

No longer simply looking at Ximen Chuuxue with the eyes of his opponent, Ye Gucheng's tone unconsciously brought out a bit of relief like "my Yushu": "Good sword."

Ximen Chuuxue's sword and Ye Gucheng's sword are very similar in appearance, just like the two of them, although they have never met before, there are always subtle similarities in the corners of their eyes, brows, words and deeds.Ximen Yan once said to Yu Luocha that "a nephew is like an uncle", that seemed to be a joke, but it proved something in the dark.

Ximen Chuuxue's long sword with black sheath was drawn by Ximen Yan herself, so it is not difficult to explain why it is so similar to the long sword with black sheath that only Baiyun City Lord can use.

Seeing Ximen Chuuxue's sword, Ye Gucheng suddenly heard a silk handkerchief sent by the elder sister in the year of his mother's death.There are two blood characters on the silk handkerchief, the handwriting is seven or eight points like Ye Gucheng's own - yes, Ye Gucheng was originally enlightened by Ximenyan himself, and his calligraphy was taught by Ximenyan.

And the word "never forget" was written on that silk handkerchief, just as persistent as his senior sister.

Never forget the teacher's kindness, the old friend, and the family feud.Ye Gucheng vaguely understood what the senior sister wanted to express at that time, but today when he saw Ximen Chuuxue's sword, he realized this more clearly.

It's also good not to forget.Ye Gucheng sometimes feels that his mother did something wrong back then, his senior sister was taught by his mother, and his temperament is [-]% like his mother.Stubbornness and determination, firmness and tenderness, as long as his elder sister and his mother have the slightest resemblance, she should have all of these temperaments.And for a person with such a temperament, "leaving" and "escaping" will definitely only be torture, not relief.

Thoughts were surging, but when Ye Gucheng saw the brilliance in Ximen Chuuxue's eyes, the confusion in his heart was suppressed by the swordsman's instinct.Nodding solemnly, Ye Gucheng said: "It's a good sword."

For a moment, Lu Xiaofeng even suspected that his little friend, who had always been serious about smiling, laughed.But the expression on Ximen Chuuxue's face was only fleeting, and when Lu Xiaofeng went to take a closer look, everything was gone again.But Lu Xiaofeng didn't have the time to pay attention to these things anymore, he nervously looked back and forth between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, for fear that the two would draw their swords if they disagreed.

At least for now, based on Lu Xiaofeng's understanding of Ximen Chuuxue, there will only be two results after he draws his sword - he dies, or his opponent dies.Ximen Chuuxue's sword is like this, there is no room for the opponent, and naturally there is no room for himself.Regardless of whether the result is the former or the latter, it is not what Lu Xiaofeng is happy to see.

It wasn't until Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng nodded to each other, but they didn't intend to start a war, that Lu Xiaofeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't just stand there stupidly, let's go in quickly." Yu Qingxue jumped down from a tree, patted her robe that was not covered with dust, then pushed her elder brother, and then took the lead in pushing The door jumped into her mother's arms.

As for why Yu Qingxue climbed the tree... I can only say that Ximen Chuuxue's dimples were not poked for nothing, no, I didn't see a certain naughty little cat who was chased up the tree QAQ

In fact, if Ximen Yan and Ximen Chuuxue hadn't come suddenly, the few of them got together to discuss the matter of Wuhua being framed frequently.Now that this matter involves Shenshui Palace, several people can't help but don't care.

Seriously speaking, Shenshui Palace is actually a sect composed of only women, such a sect generally has no status in the Jianghu.Didn’t you see that the Emei Sect was full of female disciples in the past, but due to various reasons, Emei, which had only female disciples, declined irresistibly, and almost lost its status as the "Four Great Sects". Fortunately, the head of the Emei Sect at that time came to realize that He began to focus on cultivating male disciples under his sect, which allowed Emei to stand up to this day.Although Emei is unwilling to admit that their crisis and turning point are caused by the uneven distribution of resources between male and female disciples, the head of Emei has been male for six consecutive generations, which seems to have hinted at some problems.

However, Shenshui Palace has become an existence that people in the world dare not discuss.

It's not because the disciples of Shenshui Palace have practiced so powerful exercises, but because Yin Ji, the jellyfish, is enough to frighten those men in the rivers and lakes.In today's world, when it comes to women who can be called "terrible" when it comes to kung fu and temperament, I am afraid that more people will immediately think of Shi Guanyin, but when it comes to jellyfish Yin Ji, it is even more impressive than Shi Guanyin. Woman feeling scared.

Now the man behind the scenes first dragged Wuhua into the water, and now he used "Tianyi Shenshui" to link Wuhua and Shenshui Palace, but no matter how clever Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng were, they couldn't think of this person being so painstaking and lonely What is the purpose of so framed Wuhua.

Yu Qingxue went over the matter several times in detail, but still couldn't figure out the joints involved, and Wuhua frowned slightly—his identity was no simpler than Yu Qingxue's, but the person behind the scenes seemed to be targeted by others. Admired "wonderful monk without flowers"?Compared with many identities such as the host in Tsing Yi or the son of Shi Guanyin, Miaoseng Wuhua is more like a false name. If his brother abbot targets him, there may be some benefits, but if it is someone else, Wuhua will not I don't quite understand the meaning of the man staring at me.

Everyone was silent for a while, but Ximen Chuuxue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Have you ever thought that maybe that person's purpose is not to frame Wuhua, but to frame Wuhua... just follow the trend?"

"Why? What are you trying to figure out?" Yu Qingxue was a little puzzled, her monk shouldn't have offended anyone like this, right?

Ximen Chuixue paused, and only said: "The right hand is the hand that holds the weapon."

And Wu Hua injured the right shoulder of that person, the injury that used to wear the shoulder blade, even if the treatment was timely, I am afraid there is no way to restore her peak state.For a martial arts practitioner, especially one who has reached a certain level of martial arts, this is no different from killing someone.

The martial arts of the people present are not weak, they don't need Ximen Chuuxue to explain in detail, they suddenly understood it.Hua Manlou closed her folding fan, tapped lightly on her palms, and said, "My Hua family can speak to all the pharmacies in the south of the Yangtze River. Since Master Wuhua hurt people very badly that day, since these days, That person must buy a lot of medicines. There are only a few types of golden sore medicines and medicinal materials for hemostasis and muscle growth. If you buy a large number or frequent purchases, everyone should have an impression."

In fact, the Hua family had already sorted out the list before this, but it was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, so the Hua family did not want to displease the seven children of his family just because Hua Manlou specifically told them this way. The method seems to be the most effective method to find out the person behind this scene.

Wuhua's eyes spread out on the piece of paper that Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang had sorted out, which recorded the time and place of the subsequent incidents that day, he sorted out these messy records in his mind, and deduced them again Suddenly he opened his mouth and said: "The poor monk thinks that these cases cannot be committed by one person. Looking at these two cases, ordinary people can't travel from the north to the south of the city within the time of a stick of incense, no matter how good their lightness kung fu is."

"Group?" Lu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up, and he always felt that he had caught something.
