Snow Chihiro

=====================

No one knew why Her Highness the Princess, who had been awake for two nights, threw back the half-person-high booklet to the cabinet and hurried back to the palace, but the next day, the eunuchs and maids who had been nervous around His Highness and dared not make a sound suddenly regained their comfort.

No one knows how Gu Changfeng, who is the second son of the Gu family, fell in the room of the great priest late at night with his skin cracked and blood all over his body. It was only the next day that this young master prostrated himself in front of the spirit of the great priest for the first time. Master.

No one knew why the left envoy of the Sun Moon God Sect suddenly died in his room, the leader and the chief supervisor were not there, it was supposed to be the right envoy Tong Baixiong who presided over the teaching affairs, but Miss Ren suddenly stepped forward at a young age and calmed down the sect. chaos in.

The world is changing all the time, big and small things are happening every quarter of an hour, but these things seem to have nothing to do with the three of Dongfang Li in the past few days.Even though the news from all parties will still be sent to Dongfang Li and Xue Qianxun through different channels, the two of them have a tacit understanding not to mention each other.

Master said go back?OK, back to Suzhou.Master said to go to the valley of refuge?OK, go to the valley.Dongfang Li didn't ask Xue Qianxun if he wanted to go, or if he wanted to go; Xue Qianxun didn't ask Dongfang Li if he didn't want to go, or if he couldn't go.

Under such a tacit understanding, they switched from carriage to boat, from boat to horse, from horse to foot, and the three of them finally came to the valley.This valley actually has a name. Few people don't know what it was called when Dongfang Yunfei's Grand Master used to occupy this territory, but after Yang Xi came here, it was called Xigu.It's a pity that Yang Xi left too early, this name always makes people feel heavy, so it changed back to the simplest name:

valley.

If you must add a specific location, it is: our valley.

Dongfang Yunfei was beaming at the only entrance, waved his arm, and said triumphantly to Xue Qianxun who was carrying him: "This is our valley! How is it, isn't it good?"

Not only is it not bad?The valley that can be excavated by the ancestors through thousands of mountains and rivers and selected by Dongfang Yunfei is naturally not a vulgar thing.This mountain is a high mountain, looking up straight into the clouds, this valley is a deep valley, the forest is quiet and birds are singing, the only entrance is narrow and hidden, but there is a cave inside.Xue Qianxun doesn't know medicine, so she doesn't know the rare and rare grasses on the ground, but when Yang Xifu came in, she was ecstatic, thinking that this is the blessed land bestowed on her by the heavens, and Xue Qianxun stepped into it as soon as she stepped in. On a hundred-year-old medicinal herb, fortunately, she has lightness kung fu, and her steps are quite light, so she didn't waste everything.She pursed her lips, and praised like coaxing a child: "Master really has a good eye, and only Master can choose such a good place."

She had heard Dongfang Yunfei slip up before but still praised her like this, naturally she was a little teased, but Dongfang Yunfei didn't realize it, she still smiled happily, she has been like this since she left Suzhou City , It seems that all the troubles have been put down at once, no matter what you do, you can't hide your smile.

Dongfang Yunfei smiled and said: "Ah Xun, you should be more careful when walking, and follow Ali's steps closely. Don't slow down, fast, or make mistakes." In the valley, she used gossip to set up a formation. Although it was not a big formation, it was Trapped also confused for a few days.

Xue Qianxun agreed when she heard the words, but saw that the leader stepped left and right at times, but walked as if walking a straight road.She knew there must be some kind of blindfold here, so she didn't dare to underestimate it, she followed it intently, and felt that she had walked nearly a hundred feet before Dongfang Li turned her head and said, "It's fine."

Xue Qianxun smiled at her, and looked back. She obviously felt that she had walked a long way, but looking back, it seemed that this place was only twenty or thirty feet away from Taniguchi. Things like five elements and eight trigrams are very wonderful.She also thought of the formulas of the Sunflower Canon given to her by the leader. There is also the theory of yin and yang in the world, and there is no lack of the principles of Zhouyi, but it is also very delicate when used in martial arts. What effect, but for the use of true energy, the speed of light work is a little more enlightened.

After passing the formation, there are no more organs in this valley. Obviously, Master is quite conceited about his formation and does not believe that anyone else can crack it.Xue Qianxun was still half a step behind Dongfang Li, looking at every plant and tree in the valley while walking.Entering the valley, the valley is still very big. After entering, you can't see the surrounding cliffs. The mouth of the valley is a forest, but the inside is paved with bluestone slabs. The valley has been shaded for a long time, and some moss has grown on it. slip.On the left is a river running from west to east. Dongfang Yunfei called it a "small stream", but in fact this "small stream" is two feet wide, and the "stream" is clear, and its source is the waterfall at the end of the valley.

There are several stone houses in the center of the valley, all of which are made of whole stone walls, which have been cut evenly by the power of ghosts and gods.After Master was taken away, Dongfang Li and Dongfang Liang also came back several times to clean up, so there was no confusion.

This is their valley, Xue Qianxun sighed in her heart, outstanding people, that's all.

"Master's room is the one in the middle. I live in Dongshou, so you live in..." Dongfang Li hesitated as he spoke, Xier's room never liked being touched by others, and Ah Liang was a man and was not nice. Let Qianxun go live... She glanced at Dongfang Yunfei hesitantly, Master, don't you like letting her live with you?

Dongfang Yunfei smiled, narrowed his eyes, and pretended not to know: "It's really good to go back to the old place, I want to experience it by myself tonight."

"...The Chihiro..."

"Huh? Hierarch?"

"You can live in my house."

Dongfang Li's house is simpler than the one on the Blackwood Cliff, with stone beds, stone tables, and stone chairs. There are three swords of different lengths hanging on the wall. The one at the end is probably the wooden sword she used to practice martial arts when she was a child. The middle one is also normal, but the last one is long and thin, wrapped in a strange layer of white scaled leather scabbard, which makes people unable to take their eyes off it.

"That's Master's sword." Seeing Xue Qianxun staring at the sword, Dongfang Li introduced, "This sword is called Baiyu, and Tai Shigong deliberately asked Mou Bin to bring it here for Master." She laughed again. : "Master originally planned to pass it on to Ah Liang, but Ah Liang didn't like to use the sword, so he gave it to me."

Dongfang Li put the quilt prepared in the town on the stone bed, stepped forward and took off the sword, lifted it slightly with his backhand, and the long sword came out of its sheath silently, this is because the material of this sword is quite strange, dark and dull, thin It's not half an inch thick, and the width is no more than two fingers, but you can feel the sharpness of the side blade when you look closely.She squeezed the tip of the sword and sent the hilt into Xue Qianxun's hand, "How?"

Xue Qianxun exclaimed, "It's so light."

"If you like, I will give it to you."

give me?Xue Qianxun was stunned for a moment, since the sword was passed on by the master to the leader, could it be that it has no special meaning?How could the leader easily transfer it to himself?

Seeing her seldom hesitate, Dongfang Li also guessed that she was thinking a lot. Speaking of which, this white shark is indeed her favorite, except for drinking blood and offering swords every year, most of them are properly arranged.However, although Xue Qianxun's martial arts has advanced rapidly, he has not yet become a great tool, and it is not appropriate to use the power of the sword to waste martial arts.But she still decided to give this sword to Xue Qianxun, so that this person could have more strength to protect herself in the future.

"Master passed it on to me, and I passed it on to my disciples. It would be the best." Dongfang Li teased her, and then said: "Speaking of which, you have known Master for so long, but you didn't ask her to give you advice. Martial arts, it's really a pity, these days she always needs to remind you a few words."

The more Xue Qianxun listened to her, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she held Bai Jiao's hand tightly, but she still smiled lightly on her face: "Then Qianxun will go to please Master first." Put it on the table, then asked Dongfang Li to sit down, and went to take care of the miscellaneous things by himself, wiped off the dust, laid out the bedding, and put away the luggage. This set of actions was done in Dongfang Yunfei's room just now. , it's even more convenient at this end.

Dongfang Li watched her rushing back and forth at a high speed, her hair was slightly loose, her mouth was slightly pursed, and her expression was focused. She didn't seem to turn around to wink or give a seductive smile when she did something. Walking and taking things are very gentle, very quiet, but Dongfang Li suddenly found that she was not used to this kind of quietness, she stood up and walked to Xue Qianxun, looking at the neatly folded robes in Xue Qianxun's hands , put the board neatly in the cabinet, and washed the rag to clean up the dust on the table, but when she bent over, her hair slipped down, blocking Xue Chihiro's eyes.Xue Qianxun flicked her hair, but she didn't shake it away. Just as she was about to push it away with her elbow, a hand stretched out, gently wrapped her hair around her hair, and pinned it behind her ears.

Xue Qianxun only felt her heart beating violently, and then she was suspended in the air, even her breathing slowed down.

She felt the temperature of that hand, felt the fingertips gently brushing the fluff on the ear, felt the intimacy of that person, felt the tenderness of that person, but the hand was taken back too fast and firmly Dang put it back next to the man's leg, hooked his palm lightly, and then flattened it again.If she hadn't seen the slight confusion and embarrassment in Dongfang Li's eyes, she would have thought about whether it was just an illusion.

Her heart, which was still a little bit lost just now, instantly revived, and the heart that had regained its freedom was pounding and beating even more powerfully. It was not a big deal to help with haircuts. What made her happy was Dongfang Li's expression just now, that This kind of expression clearly told her four characters: "I can't help it."Because I couldn't help it, I was at a loss and embarrassed, and that's why I was a little helpless.

"Master..." Xue Qianxun deliberately leaned over while supporting her body.

Dongfang Li's body trembled slightly imperceptibly to the naked eye, and then he returned to his natural state in an instant, "What's wrong?"

"Can Qianxun live here in the future?" She deliberately tested.

Dongfang Li's eyes flickered, she didn't know how to answer this question, yes, yes, yes, she is willing, but she is unwilling to nod.Xue Qianxun is such an outstanding person, how can he be buried in this valley, sticking to someone he may never be able to keep?What's more, she also knew that with Xue Qianxun's character, if it wasn't for her, she would definitely not choose to live in seclusion in the mountains.She is too familiar with Xue Qianxun's appearance when she is doing things. She is capable and decisive in handling things. What flashes in her eyes is ambition. Xue Qianxun is ambitious, so before she has revealed her intention to seize the throne , She has already begun to gather influence, and as a woman, with a background in a brothel, she can win the respect of the church in just one year.She seems to have been born for this great ambition, but she accidentally chose the wrong place at the beginning. Now it is time for her to step on the right track and show her talents. No one is worth giving up everything she has worked hard for, including Own.
