Cang Xue

Jinzhou City is very quiet in winter. From the majestic mountains outside the city to the neatly divided streets and markets inside the city, heavy snow falls layer after layer, and all kinds of sounds are buried under the thick snow layer.Li Qingshang looked at the feathery snowflakes that were still floating endlessly outside the window, and called Xiaoer to reheat the wine that had just cooled down.The tavern was supposed to be lively and full of people, but it was probably because it was too cold, there were very few people drinking and drinking tea, and the few guests were also quiet.

The door "clicked", and the howling north wind mixed with snowflakes blew into the house.The guests in the tavern frowned and turned to look at the visitors outside the door.The man quickly closed the door and found a seat by the window to sit down, Xiao Er immediately came over to say hello, "Oh, is it Mr. Su, or two catties of wine?" The new guest nodded with a gentle smile.From Li Qingshang's position just facing him, Li Qingshang sized him up a little. Wen Dun's delicate face, elegant and calm demeanor was not like ordinary people everywhere in this small mountain city.But the clothes were too simple, but he had to admit that this plain moon white gown gave him a more refined taste.Li Qingshang became interested.After the wine was brought to the table, the man sipped the wine while looking at the heavy snow outside the window.

Seeing his inaction, Li Qingshang took a drink and sat opposite him.The man was a little surprised at first, and put down his glass to look at him: "I don't know what this young man is doing?" Li Qingshang smiled, "Sir, I drink alone, and I drink alone, so boring. Why don't we drink a few glasses?" So?" The man also smiled faintly, "Okay."

The two had a drink, and Li Qingshang said, "I'm Li Qingshang, what's your name, sir?"

He seemed to be stunned after hearing this, and then he returned to his senses with a smile and replied: "My surname is Su, and the single name is Ji. It means to let the sun shine."

"Su Ji? What a good name! I don't know how long it will be snowing outside until the sky is clear, alas."

Su Ji smiled but did not answer.

Li Qingshang rolled his eyes and asked again: "Hey Mr. Su, can you tell me some stories?"

"Ah...? What story?"

"Well, what I heard from other people's personal experience is interesting and boring. In short, it's just a story." Li Qingshang waved his hand.

"But I can't tell stories."

"I can see that Mr. Su is a man with a story. Just come and tell me about yourself. For example, tell me why you stared at the red plum tree outside the house so preoccupied."

Li Qingshang noticed a flash of panic in his eyes, and he calmed down and said, "No, I just took a casual look. It's so red, it stands out against the whiteness outside the house."

Li Qingshang laughed again, "But the way you look at that red plum tree tells me that's not the case."

Su Ji put down the wine glass heavily, and said in a sullen tone, "Li Shaoxia, please don't be aggressive. I'm leaving."

When Li Qingshang saw him get up and took out his jade flute, he attacked him in the face. Su Ji never thought that he would make a move, so he drew out his sword and blocked it.A bright sword light flashed across Li Qingshang's eyes, "Liu Ling!?"

Su Ji froze after it called out these two words.

"You are Su Mu... woo woo"

Su Ji covered his mouth with his arm, took out a piece of silver and said, "The shopkeeper is bothering you." Then he dragged Li Qingshang and ran out in a panic.

It is very deserted under the curtain of the house, with a few household items and a few thin furs.Li Qingshang sat on the side of the bed with arms folded and complained: "Mr. Su doesn't light a fire when guests come, it's so cold." Su Ji glanced at him, went out to the firewood room at the back of the house to get firewood, and lit a fire in the brazier. A flame.Then he said to Li Qingshang who came over to enjoy the fire: "Tell me, who are you?"

Li Qingshang laughed a few times, "Hey, my real name is Li Qingshang, but I didn't lie to you. Liuling, this peerless sword has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for ten years. Together with the owner of this sword, Su Mu Xue..."

When the sword was unsheathed, a cold light flashed on the ground, and the edge of the sword touched by Li Qingshang's neck was piercingly cold.Su Ji said coldly: "Don't mention that name again." Then he put his sword away and stood facing Li Qingshang with his hands behind his back.Seeing his shoulders trembling slightly, Li Qingshang must have been in a very emotional state.Originally wanted to say a few words of comfort, but the other party quickly calmed down, turned around and smiled at Li Qingshang, and said, "Do you want to hear this story? The story about that person."

Li Qingshang smiled openly: "All ears."

Hanling Mountain is located in the extreme north, and the mountains are so dangerous and strange that ordinary people can hardly imagine.There are many strange birds and animals in the mountains, or there are mountain springs and waterfalls, and there are rare insects and fish in the water, which can be seen everywhere.Hanling snows heavily all year round, and the flower-shaped snowflakes float almost all year round, only stopping slightly in June and July in the midsummer.On this strange mountain, there is a group of people who make martial arts people curious and fearful. It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that they are eccentric and unpredictable, and rarely participate in disputes in the rivers and lakes. fencing.They call themselves the Hanling Sect, and their disciples study and practice on this snow mountain all year round.The story happened here.

There is a large red plum grove not far from the place where the disciples of the Hanling sect practiced and lived. The night in the north came early, and when the dusk was about to rise that day, the sound of a large group of people fighting and fighting came from this forest.The disciples of Hanling found it strange that few people came to the top of the mountain. They were taken aback when they rushed to check. There were corpses everywhere in the red plum grove. They were dressed in all kinds of strange clothes, ranging from the rough clothes of the villagers to the fine clothes of the rich merchants. Satin material.The deceased were male, female, old and young.A group of people hurried back to report to Master. Su Yang, the head of Hanling at that time, couldn't believe such a strange thing happened, so he took a few disciples there, and seeing the scene at that time, he was also horrified.

While checking to see if there were any survivors one by one, the first disciple Lin Zilu suddenly found a person who was still breathing, and when he looked closely, it was a young man.But no one else survived.

The broken petals of red plums fell all over the ground, but they were not as beautiful as the blood splashed on the white snow.The wilderness is silent.

Lin Zilu turned his back to the snow-covered Hanling Mountain, glanced at the dying young man with bloodstains on his shoulder, his expression did not change.

The young man was seriously injured, Su Yang was a kind person, and he didn't hesitate to expend his internal energy to heal his injuries.After being taken care of by the disciples of Hanling for many days, Fang Fang woke up.Everyone was pleasantly surprised.The young man dragged his heavy body and sat up slightly, glanced around for a week with blurred eyes and said, "Where is this? Who are you? I...who am I?"

"The kid who picked it up that day seems to have lost his memory."

"It can't be pretending, but it doesn't look like he has been in a trance these days."

Listening to the chatting of the juniors and brothers at leisure, Lin Zilu smiled in his heart, turned his sword again, and stabbed the wooden pillar in front with precision.

Lin Zilu had seen the kid he picked up several times, he was well-educated in front of everyone, although he spoke very little, he was well-spoken and polite to ordinary disciples, he could get along with everyone in a few days, and He often helps with some work, and smiles calmly when he meets everyone, which really makes people feel good.He is even more polite and considerate to his master. Every time he sees him, he salutes in a hurry and says some words of gratitude to Master Su for saving his life.Seeing these Lin Zilu, he just laughed it off.
