beg for chivalry

At Tianshan Gate, the sky is full of snow and ice is everywhere.

A main room with white walls and black tiles stands alone in the cold wind.Bright moon algae decoration, lacquered red floor-to-ceiling partition, the window panes are firmly nailed by wooden boards.There is a three-spring lock hanging on the outside of the door, and several wooden locks are attached to the lock.

Yu Yiwei brushed the snow from his hair on his shoulders, and opened the locks one by one with trembling hands.

Standing behind him is a beautiful girl, with a white gauze skirt and a cloud-rimmed rosy belt, she has icy muscles and bones, but her demeanor is alert and calm.

She held the food box, squinted her eyes, and said solemnly: "Senior brother Yiwei, delivering food to the head of the sect is what Elder Xi Xun ordered me to do, so don't bother you."

Yu Yiwei's teeth chattered, and he still struggled to open the lock: "No... no! You don't know what a slippery and cunning person the sect master is. Last time... last time he used your name to sneak out of the quiet hall, and we were all arrested. He cheated so hard!"

From the first day he entered the Tianshan Gate, he heard that there are two things that cannot be messed with in the sect: one is the gate rules, the rules are golden rules, and there is no room for Agui to favor others.The second is the master of the sect. Yu Qiuxia, the master of the Tianshan sect, can be called a strange species. There is no sect master who can make Yubai Dao so superbly like him, and no sect master is constantly being searched for by the four elders. I searched for it everywhere, and every time I caught it, it was a good meal.

Yu Bingzi frowned and said: "Senior brother, why do you use such rude words to belittle someone? That person is the head of the sect, and he is a daughter, a girl's family. It is not easy to inherit the Yubai sword technique, so why should he suffer?" Personal evaluation?"

Except for the elder, among the disciples, only Yu Jiachen and Yu Yiwei got closer to the sect master and learned a thing or two about his real body.Yiwei thought in his heart, if Yu Qiuxia was from a girl's family, then the person who marries him would suffer bad luck for eight lifetimes, and it would only add to the embarrassment!

He was frantically facing the lock slot, when he suddenly heard Yu Bingzi whisper: "Senior brother Jiachen once told me that the head of the sect is very careful and is a difficult person, so those of us who guard the quiet hall should be more careful. Is it true?"

Yu Yiwei was surprised and said: "Brother Jiachen said that?" He thought that Yu Jiachen should be a follower around the sect master, who can't distinguish between green and white, but he didn't expect to say such words.

With a click, the partition door opened.The two of them didn't rush to push the door, Yu Bingzi put the food box at his feet, Yu Yi didn't put his hand on the hilt of the sword first, and kicked the door open with the tip of his shoe as if facing an abyss.

They were tortured by Yu Qiuxia, and they were afraid, thinking that the man was weird, and they didn't know what to do.

Sure enough, there was no one in the quiet hall.A cloth pillow was alone against the wall, surrounded by thick darkness.

Yu Bingzi asked, "Slipped again?"

Yu Yiwei said: "Slipped again." His tone was firm and calm, as if this had happened hundreds of times.

"Elder Xi Xun won't blame him?"

"How to blame? Is it because the sect master gave birth to two legs?" Yu Yiwei sighed, "In my opinion, he should be a centipede spirit. Even if two legs are to be broken, there are still more than ninety."

They were gossiping, but they didn't intend to leave from the door.Yu Yi didn't speak poorly, but the tip of the sword in his hand touched the door.

Just as Yu Bingzi was puzzled, his pupils shrank suddenly - only to see Yu Yiwei slightly lowered his brows, and thrust out a sword swiftly, piercing the door!He used almost all his strength to strike the sword, the tip of the sword was nailed into the wall, leaving only the grid exposed outside the partition.

"Senior brother, this..."

"It's nothing," Yu Yiwei took a step into the hall vigilantly, "I'm afraid the door owner is hiding behind the partition. As the saying goes, the first to strike is the best, and the last to suffer."

Although Yu Qiuxia had an intuition that he had slipped away, Yu Yiwei knew in his heart that there were many bolts and locks outside, and it was expected that even the swordsman Yubai could not escape with his wings.What's more, the man's bones are all cracked and he can't move, and the Yubai knife has sunk into the sword mound in the ice pool?

He cautiously glanced behind the crucified frame, and as expected, it was empty again.

This time Yu Yiwei was also stunned, the humane Yubai swordsman was as insubstantial as fog, like a mirror in the moon and water, but now he looked like a ghost, and Jingtang, who was tightly chained, could escape smoothly.

His second monk, Zhang Er, couldn't figure it out, so he asked Yu Bingzi. "Bingzi, you have delivered meals to the sect master a few times in the past, can you see anything unusual?"

Yu Bingzi said: "It's more than just seeing that the head of the sect has abnormalities every day."

She pointed to the beam and said, "At first I didn't know the rules, so I brought a plate of food into the quiet hall. Guess what I saw? The door master hung upside down on the beam, almost strangled himself, and said I wanted to see if there was a loose opening on the top to get out, but the sole of my foot slipped, and the cloth strip wrapped around the beam got stuck around my neck somehow."

"The second time I didn't dare to enter the hall, so I just opened a gap in the door and stuffed the food box in. The door owner was singing a little song like a ghost inside, and when he saw me coming, he asked me shamelessly. Is there an iron chain as big as a bowl mouth? She said she was very restless and wanted to lock herself with an iron chain. I was afraid that she would use this chain to commit suicide, so I refused to agree. Later, there were always strange noises in the quiet hall, like Someone is coughing loudly, and it seems to be crying and screaming, alas." Yu Bingzi pressed the eyebrows that seemed to be knit into a knot, and said, "It's a freak, it's really weird."

Yu Yi didn't hear it.

He waved his hands again and again, and said falteringly: "No, no. Junior sister, think again, has there been anything more or less here recently?"

Hearing what he said, Yu Bingzi tilted his head and pondered for a long time, finally realized something, and said in surprise: "By the way, when I collected the food box a few days ago...it seems...a pair of chopsticks were missing!"

"Chopsticks?"

Yu Yiwei wanted to ask Bing Ziyu Qiuxia if she took the key while she was unprepared, or if she hid something dangerous like an iron dagger, but the missing one was the pair of chopsticks.

The two stood silently in the quiet hall.Suddenly, Yu Bingzi's eyes froze, and he said, "There is wind."

"Wind sound? It's very windy. The most indispensable thing in Tianshan Mountain is wind and snow."

"No." Yu Bingzi looked solemn, touched the stone wall of the quiet hall, and lifted the cloth pillow, "It's here, there is wind."

She stretched out two fingers to knock, this knock is not important, only the sound of earth and rock collapsing, the stone wall cracked, and a big hole suddenly appeared!The chilly wind scrambled in, pouring snowflakes all over their heads.

Someone dug a hole in the wall, filled it back carefully with earth and stone, and covered the hole with the thread of the lead pillow.

Seeing the hole, Yu Yi was so startled that his face turned pale, and he jumped up and down: "It's the owner of the door! He dug this hole!" Needless to say, what did Yu Qiuxia, who was unarmed and almost ashamed, use? How to dig out this hole?Yu Yiwei squatted down and looked out along the hole.

In the white snow, a broken wooden branch fell among the broken stones, and the end of the bamboo pole was covered with a crescent-shaped copper ring. Yu Yi didn't reach out to pick it up, but found it was a chopsticks.

He was drenched in cold sweat instantly, and a ridiculous thought came to his mind, and he murmured unconsciously: "Chopsticks... he dug it with chopsticks?"

-

Amidst the snow and mist, a clear white stream meanders down from the Jade Emperor Temple, flowing softly out of the frozen ice pool, bypassing the steep ladder, and still murmuring in this snowy and icy sky.

There was a small boat floating on the river, and sitting in front of the bamboo shed was a blind girl, dressed in snow and wearing a white hat, and blindfolded with silk cloth embroidered with new moon patterns.She lightly shook the scull, and drove the boat to the shore.

One foot stepped on the wooden board, and the boat swayed slightly, drawing ripples in the water.The blind girl asked softly, "Who is here?"

Before the other party could answer, she slowly said: "Tianshanmen disciples are not allowed to leave the mountain gate, and they are not allowed to take this boat down the Taiyi River. It is a different matter if there is an elder's warrant."

It turned out that the blind girl was a boatman on the Taiyi River and a member of the Tianshan Gate.If you pass through the ice pool in front of the Jade Emperor Temple and go down the ladder, you will always be disturbed by cannibal white birds on the way. If you are not a person with high lightness kung fu, you may be crushed on the ladder, which can be called extremely dangerous.Taiyi River is another way down the mountain. Although it is winding slowly, it is always much more comfortable.

The visitor said in a hoarse voice, "My... uh, I... no, I am Yunanchi, Elder Nanchi."

The blind girl smiled softly, as beautiful and soft as a lotus emerging from water, but with a little confusion. "Are you really the elder Nanchi?"

"Why not?"

"On weekdays when the elder boards the boat, the water is always too deep to bear." The blind girl smiled, "You seem to be much lighter today."

"Cough... I, I only stepped on a small toe, and I haven't put all my toes up!" The visitor hurriedly said, and after a long while, he stepped on the ship's plank, and suddenly his body sank , a small trickle trickled in from the side of the boat.

The blind girl smiled and said nothing, the paddle board swam in the water, setting off crystal clear snow waves.Xiaojie broke through the thick snow and fog, and drifted away from the majestic palace.After a short time, I entered the valley river, and I could see the shadow of the lotus platform.

Amidst the murmur of the water, the blind girl turned her head gently and asked, "Where is the elder going?"

"Go down the mountain."

"I only said that I was going down the mountain, but I didn't say where I was going to arrive," the blind girl chuckled, "It's almost like I just picked up my luggage and wanted to escape when I was in a hurry."

The visitor gasped exaggeratedly.

"The Martial League Conference, I'm going to... the Martial League Conference!"

"Elder Beixuan has been in charge of the Martial League Conference. I have never heard that you also need to go down the mountain to take care of it." She spread her palms to the people, "Can the elder give the jade token to the little girl for a look?"

In the Tianshan Gate, everyone made accessories on their swords. The disciples made jade beads, ranging from one to three beads, and the elders made jade plaques with chiseled characters.

The man hesitated for a while, held the jade tablet in his hand, and held it out to her, "Uh...you should look carefully, this jade tablet just fell into the snow, it's so cold."

Sure enough, the cold was piercing to the bone, and the blind woman trembled her fingers, but she clearly felt the writing on it, which was the character "South" of Yunanchi.

She withdrew her hand and smiled slightly, "It really is the elder's jade card. Elder Nanchi, the little girl has always been suspicious, so please don't make trouble."

The visitor said: "It doesn't matter, it's better to be more careful. It's better than being taken advantage of by some slippery bugs and slipping away."

"Exactly." The blind girl nodded, and walked slowly to the head of the boat, but did not shake the paddle.The cold wind brushed over her beautiful cheeks, brushing her hair like a waterfall of blue hair, she calmly faced the wind on the river, and suddenly said, "Elder, did you know that the Wumeng recently captured a Houtianlou assassin? It was due to the great ability of the people in the Wumeng, or it was because they threw themselves into a trap and did it on purpose. In short, Wu Wugong, the leader of the alliance, was furious and said that he would never spare that person lightly, and that he would beheaded, skinned, and lynched to death. "

The man was silent.

In an instant, a sharp look appeared on the blind girl's face.She was originally like a tender flower and a tender leaf, with curved eyebrows and eyes, but at this moment, for some reason, there was a bit of hatred like a cold glow.

"Speaking of Houtianlou, my pair of eyes is indeed inseparable from their relationship." She said to herself suddenly, "I should say this back to six years ago, in the year of Guichou Jianziyue. At that time, my knife Fazheng has improved a lot, but in the end he lost to the people from Jinbu, they cut off my eyes, from then on I can no longer practice swords, I can only row a boat on the Taiyi River, and live in darkness every day."

That bit of hatred was fleeting, but within a moment, the blind girl returned to peace, she said with a smile.

"If my eyes are still there, I should be the one who wields the Yubai Saber, and you don't have to suffer so much for nothing."

The man faltered and didn't say a word for a long time.

The blind girl walked slowly to his side, squatted down|, and tilted her head to look at him.Although she was looking at it, she couldn't see it, so she stretched out her hand and slowly stroked his face.

"Throw away the stone you brought when you boarded the boat. You think I don't know the weight of Elder Nan Chi? The jade tablet carved with ice just now is not bad. It must have been carefully carved for a long time. , you can make a fun little object if you keep it. You hold your voice down, and you look a lot like the elders."

"Every time you go down the mountain, you climb down the rock by yourself. You don't take the ladder, you don't swim the Taiyi River, and I haven't seen you for several years. Why, the cliff road is much easier than this flat boat, Or do you have a guilty conscience and dare not come to see my senior sister?"

The blind girl smiled gently at him and called his name.

"...Junior Brother Xiaoyuan."
