Chapter 27 1 Song Can Teach Intestines

Half a month later, Liu Zhongyi and Wen Yan finally traveled to the vicinity of Snow Valley, and temporarily stayed in a small town nearby.

Because they found the whereabouts of the follower last time, the two of them paid extra attention. The man hid very well, obviously he was very skilled in martial arts, but he could still find some clues if he deliberately observed.The two of them didn't find out, they pretended not to know, and let him follow him all the way not far or near.

After staying in the small town for a few days, Liu Zhongyi keenly noticed a small mark on the side of the inn when he went to the street that day. This mark only belonged to him and Liu Zhongqing. Love is only known to him, so naturally there is only one person who left this mark.

Presumably Liu Zhongqing had already arrived in this town today, but she didn't show up to see him because she was worried about the Mingsha Sect's eyeliner.

Liu Zhongyi gently tugged the sleeve corner of the person beside him, and signaled with his eyes, Wen Yan knew what he meant, glanced at the mark that seemed to be just an unintentional scratch, and held his fingertips.

When they first set off from Baicaozhuang, he could always sense Liu Zhongyi's vague worries, knowing that the man valued Liu Zhongqing very much, even if it cost his life, he would not hesitate, and Liu Zhongqing deliberately wanted to fall into Xie's trap, Liu Zhongyi Such worries are inevitable.However, the closer he got to this snow valley, Liu Zhongyi became colder and calmer on the surface, the vague worry between his brows disappeared, and the emotion in his eyes was calm and firm, but his hands were always cold, as warm as ice iron.

Wen Yan knew that it wasn't that he wasn't worried, but that he couldn't worry, so he could only face everything calmly, whether it was an accident or a crisis.

Liu Zhongyi slightly turned her face to the side, glanced at him, and said something, but as if wanting to absorb heat, she slowly touched his palm.

On the second day, the two went to Snow Valley outside the town early in the morning.

The snow in the snow valley does not melt all the year round, and a large area of ​​pure white flowers blooms in the snow. At a glance, it is impossible to tell where is the snow and where is the flower.

The wind from nowhere blows across the valley, making a weird sound, which sounds like whimpering at first, and even more like a ghost crying at night, so those unknown flowers are called whimpering flowers.

According to the legend of the town, there used to be an immortal living in the snow valley. Later, the immortal fell in love with a mortal woman. The falling snow was fluttering, and in an instant his knees were gone.And the woman whom the immortal loves sheds all tears in the valley, turning into weeping flowers full of valleys.Since then, the snow in the snow valley has not melted, and the sobbing flowers have not thanked.

From the perspective of the terrain, the entrance of Snow Valley is very narrow, with steep and towering sides on all sides, and a depression in the middle. Liu Zhongyi looked around for a while after entering the valley, and felt that it was really a good plan for Xie Mu to lead them here.As long as they enter the valley and surround them on all sides and guard the entrance, they will have no way to retreat.

Liu Zhongyi pursed his lips slightly, and held the dagger in his sleeve.

The cold wind blew across the cheeks, with some fine snow gravel sandwiched, and when it fell on the skin, there was a very faint cold pain.The sobbing flower is half the height of a person, walking into the flowers, one can only feel snow-white everywhere, and the cool fragrance lingers around the body, just like a fairyland.

The two walked for a while among the flowers, only to feel that besides the person who followed them all the way, there was another person behind them.

"Small."

It was originally a cold voice, but only when this name was called, would it be so gentle.

Liu Zhongyi stopped suddenly, turned around, and saw the man in light blue clothes, standing among the flowers, his eyes and thin lips were stained with a faint smile, he looked like the legendary handsome fairy in the valley.

"elder brother……"

Liu Zhongyi was stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward to hug the man, not caring about breaking a sobbing flower that was half the height of a person.

Liu Zhongqing patted him lightly, and whispered in his ear: "Xiaoyi, you have suffered, don't worry, this time, brother will definitely get it back for you one by one."

Liu Zhongyi raised his eyes slightly, and fixedly looked at him, he had already removed those disguises, his peach blossom eyes seemed to contain all kinds of emotions, and he was about to talk.

Liu Zhongqing knew that he didn't need her to be like this, so she just smiled, raised her hand to touch his cheek, and said: "Xiaoyi has grown up, she looks really handsome and unparalleled."

"Brother..." Liu Zhongyi suddenly heard him talking about this, and didn't know how to answer, so he just called him out.

Liu Zhongqing smiled lightly, looked at the person standing behind him, and said, "A Yan, what do you think?"

Wen Yan only felt that what Liu Zhongqing said to Zhong Yi just now sounded light and teasing, but he also liked Liu Zhongyi's slightly embarrassed expression when he lowered his head, so he replied kindly: "Of course."

Liu Zhongyi didn't speak, but Wen Yan noticed that the tips of his ears were reddish, and he looked a little seductive.

Liu Zhongyi naturally wouldn't be aware of the deep meaning in that gaze, but Liu Zhongqing could see it clearly, and suddenly felt some strange emotions in her heart, as if she was dissatisfied that her closest brother was kidnapped and taken away like this, both regretful and embarrassing Unwilling.

Liu Zhongqing sighed in this way, and suddenly a thought flashed in her mind, a smile appeared in her eyes, she glanced at Wen Yan, pulled the person in front of her, and planted a kiss on that side of the cheek, which was a bit of an announcement.

Liu Zhongyi didn't know that someone behind him almost overturned the vinegar altar. The person he was closest to since he was a child was Liu Zhongqing. Kissing and hugging with that person was as natural as eating and drinking. Although he has grown up now, he would never reject this person Such an intimate move, I just felt the soft corner of my heart being touched, hugged that person very attached, and muffled: "Brother, I don't want you to go."

Liu Zhongqing felt a slight pain in his heart when he heard the words, and he lost the intention of joking, and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, I won't leave you alone. After you leave the valley, you go back to the inn. Then wait."

Liu Zhongyi didn't ask who it was, just nodded, and still looked at him without blinking, his eyes reluctant to leave.

Liu Zhongqing patted him, and Wen Yan coughed lightly, couldn't help smiling, and let go of her embrace.

Liu Zhongyi looked back at Wen Yan, wondering: "Master, is it too cold here...?"

It is also a skill to be incomprehensible to such an extent.

Fortunately, he is used to it.

Wen Yan shook his head helplessly, took out a wax pill, handed it to Liu Zhongqing, and said in a low voice, "This is what you want. It is colorless and tasteless, and it will take effect within seven days."

"Thank you." Liu Zhongqing put the thing away, with a slight stern look in his eyes.

"And this." Wen Yan took out a porcelain bottle and poured out a pill in his palm, "It can make you lose your internal strength temporarily, so as to avoid Xie Mo's suspicion, and the effect is also seven days."

Liu Zhongqing nodded, swallowed the pill without changing expression, and said: "I think that person will show up soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud bang, and a gleam of light that shot up into the sky disappeared into the air, and many figures appeared in dangerous and towering places around him.

Liu Zhongqing had expected it a long time ago, so she didn't panic, but frowned slightly.

After waiting for a while, I saw a mysterious shadow passing by the flowers, standing still in the ice and snow not far away, looking intently, it was none other than Xie Miao.

Xie Miao didn't speak for a while, but just stared at Liu Zhongqing intently.

Liu Zhongqing just looked back at him expressionlessly, but the meeting of eyes was like a clash of swords and swords.

After a while, Xie Miao's eyes softened, but Liu Zhongqing was unmoved, and said coldly: "Master Xie took a lot of effort to force me here."

Xie Miao seemed to think of something, and said in a deep voice, "Zhong Qing, you lied to me again."

Liu Zhongqing hooked the corners of her lips, "I have lied to you too many things, I don't know which one you are referring to?"

Xie Miao took a step closer, glanced at Liu Zhongyi at the side, and said, "You have said many times that you have no blood relationship with him."

Liu Zhongqing didn't take it seriously, and sneered: "He is my only family member. If I didn't say that, would you let him go? You can force me to come here today, isn't it because of this?"

Xie Mang knew that what he said was accurate, so he didn't speak for a while.

Liu Zhongqing continued: "However, I would like to know today, how did you know about this?"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Zhongyi shot at the side, and the three silver needles shot towards a certain place in the flower bushes, and flew up at the same time, heading straight for it.

Before his silver needle arrived, a blue shadow sprang out from there. The man's face was covered with a black scarf, and his face could not be seen.

Liu Zhongyi had already chased him, he shot a dart with his left hand and hit the face of the man in Tsing Yi, the man leaned back to dodge, Liu Zhongyi flicked the dagger, barely scratched his face scarf, but did not hurt his skin.

The face towel shattered in two and fell down. The man in Tsing Yi turned over and turned his back to him, as if he didn't want to be seen by him.

Liu Zhongyi didn't make any more moves, but his knuckles turned slightly white due to too much force. In just a short moment, he had already recognized that person.

"you……"

The man in Tsing Yi still didn't turn his head back, but he heard Xie Lai on that side raise his voice and said, "Qi Su, you are my majestic Mingsha to teach Zuo Dharma, but you dare not see anyone?"

Liu Zhongyi was startled when he heard the words, took half a step back slightly, pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were complicated, and he couldn't believe it.

The man in Tsing Yi paused for a moment, then turned around, but avoided his gaze.

Liu Zhongyi frowned, looked at him with burning eyes, but did not speak.Seeing this, Liu Zhongqing walked over slowly, looked at the man, and said calmly, "What should I call you, Master, Master Xiao, or... Zuo Hufa?"

Xiao Qi, or should be called Qi Su, finally raised his eyes after hearing this, looked at him, and said: "Zhong Qing should have guessed it long ago, when?"

"After you saved Xiaoyi." Liu Zhongqing said: "There are not many people who know that I am related to him by blood, and at that time in Yunchuan, only you and Xiaoyi, he would not say, so, just It's just you. Of course, it's just speculation."

Qi Su nodded slightly: "But in your eyes, there must be other clues."

Liu Zhongqing's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flickered in her eyes: "For example, how did Xie Miao find me five years ago; for example, the poisons in the ghost building are very similar to the Mingsha Sect; and... I In the five years of Mingsha Sect, I have never seen the so-called 'Left Protector'."

Qi Su sighed, shook his head and smiled, and stopped talking.

Liu Zhongyi seemed to be calm at this moment, looking at him, but his voice was a little dry: "But I don't know, why didn't you kill us, Mr. Xiao? You even wanted to... teach martial arts and raise us up..."

Xie Miao sneered and said, "Guard Zuo is compassionate. When he did this, he didn't disclose it to anyone. Even I only found out about it five years ago."

Qi Su closed his eyes slightly: "I really regret it... If I knew today, I would definitely not bring you up with my own hands."

Liu Zhongyi was taken aback, from what he meant, it wasn't that he regretted saving them... He couldn't help but look at the man with wide eyes, as if he was determined to find an answer.

Qi Su said in a low voice: "I was the last one to leave Yun's house... At that time, the fire was already very strong. I vaguely heard the cry of a baby, so I couldn't help but turn back and take a look. It turned out that you were hidden by someone. In the wooden barrel of the well in the courtyard, I... really couldn't bear to do anything to the two children."

To this day, he can still clearly recall what he saw that day. The fire was soaring into the sky, and the relatively large wooden barrel was suspended in the deep well, and in the wooden barrel was an eight-year-old boy holding a baby in his arms. The baby looked up at the mouth of the well quietly.Even after seeing him, there was still no ripple in those eyes, they looked dark and deep, like the water in a well below, which made people feel a little bit horrified.

The baby who was held tightly by the boy seemed to be injured and was crying all the time. He was keenly aware of blood oozing out, staining the cloth a little bit red.

At that time Qi Su could see that if he didn't save them at this time, the baby would not live long, and judging from the appearance of the little boy, it seemed that he was a little delirious due to too much stimulation, even if he stayed in the well, he would die. same will die.

He wanted to leave, to turn a blind eye, and even to kill them, but in the end he couldn't bear it, feuds and murders are common in the world, but such a young child, He Gu...So moved with compassion, pulled the wooden barrel up, hugged The little boy who had been a little stiff after staying in the barrel for a long time left.

The child remained motionless along the way, only knowing that he was holding the baby in his arms tightly.He went to the city to find a doctor, and when the doctor saw him, he coaxed him for a long time before the boy let go of the baby, but he still kept his eyes on him.The doctor said that the baby's back shoulder was burned by the fire, and it had to be given medicine, otherwise it would be very easy to die, and the boy seemed to have suffered from too much stimulation and his memory was impaired.

At that time, he thought, since the two children had no memory of the past, he didn't have to worry about the past with them.He remembered hearing that Yun Zhengyao's wife was named Liu, so he made "Liu" their surname.

"I originally thought that no one else would know about this matter, and as long as I didn't tell it, I could keep it a secret for the rest of my life, but I never thought that Zhong Qing would have those entanglements with the leader." Qi Su recalled his thoughts from the memory, with some bitterness in his eyes It means, "If I knew this earlier, I should entrust you to others to raise you, and there would be no such troubles today."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhongyi tightly held the dagger in his hand, frowned, but didn't say a word.

Liu Zhongqing knew what was in his heart. After all...it was the same for them. He looked up at the familiar yet unfamiliar man in Tsing Yi, paused for a moment, and said, "I really don't understand Zuo Hufa How do you think, you let us go, I am very grateful, but even though you are our savior, it is undeniable that you are also our enemy. Why... You want to teach us martial arts, and even let us recognize you as our master ?”

Qi Su shook his head, he knew all of this, but he didn't think about it that much at the time, he just had a kind of luck, hoping that the truth would never be exposed.Although he has done things that are unforgivable to these two people, when he raised them by his side, the feelings in getting along cannot be faked.In this life, his relatives were weak, and his parents passed away early. When he rescued the two children, he thought about their similar experiences as himself, and felt compassion. At that time, he was young and wanted to be their master on a whim. After a long time, I realized that I had already paid a certain amount of true love, and it was difficult to take it back.

However, looking at it now, these are just embarrassing.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Liu Zhongqing didn't ask any more questions, his face was still indifferent, and he didn't reveal any emotion.

There was silence for a while, only the icy cold wind in the valley moved the flowers, making a desolate sound similar to sobbing.

Xie Miao waved his hand slightly, signaling Qi Su to step back for now, Qi Su nodded, turned and left, and stood still a little far away, and then several Mingsha Sect guards appeared from among the flowers and gathered behind him, His expression was solemn, and he seemed to be ready for battle.

Liu Zhongqing looked at it, disapproving, and said mockingly: "The leader really took a lot of trouble."

Xie Miao took a step closer, seeing that he had no intention of retreating, she curled her lips, leaned closer, and said, "For you, I am naturally willing to put in more thought."

Liu Zhongqing raised her eyebrows, "Including unscrupulous means?"

Xie Miao didn't mind either, and said with a smile, "Naturally."

Liu Zhongqing lowered her eyes slightly, and the corners of her lips curved into a cold arc: "Xie Mian, you used my closest relatives to blackmail me, but never thought that your Achilles' heel is also in my hands?"

Before Xie Miao could understand the meaning of his words, Liu Zhongqing pulled out the saber hanging from his waist, put his backhand on his neck, and took a step away from the place within his reach.

"elder brother……!"

This came so suddenly, Liu Zhongyi was also startled, and called out in a low voice, then bit her lower lip and frowned tightly.

Liu Zhongqing shook her head slightly, signaling him not to go forward.

Xie Mun clutched the scabbard, feeling a little annoyed: "You..."

Liu Zhongqing chuckled, her eyes as cold as a knife's edge: "Do you know what it's like to be blackmailed by someone? Thank you, I'll give you two options. One is to let the two of them go, and I will go with you, or the other is to get the money from my dead body." Step up."

Xie Min clenched his fists when he heard the words, but didn't speak immediately. He seemed to calm down the turbulent emotions in his heart for a while, took a deep breath, and then said: "You know that you are my deathbed, but why don't you stay by my side."

"It's a joke." Liu Zhongqing snorted coldly: "You should know that it's hard to get over the water, and it's hard to fix the broken mirror. No matter whether I return to you or not, we will never return to the past."

"Love..."

"Stop talking nonsense, how to choose, the leader will decide quickly."

Xie Miao was silent for a while, and said: "How could I let you die, but, surely your brother would not want you to do this?"

Saying this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at Liu Zhongyi.

Liu Zhongyi pursed the corners of his lips, held the dagger tightly in his hand, and did not speak. The icy murderous aura spread, piercing people in the cold wind. He was like a sharp sword out of its sheath, ready to strike that person at any moment. , Fighting to death.

Liu Zhongqing sighed, did not look back, still stared at Xie Miao vigilantly, but said in his mouth: "A Yan."

"Yeah." Wen Yan from the side responded, and quickly shot, pressing a hand knife on the back of Liu Zhongyi's neck.

Liu Zhongyi was always on guard against him, but this time he was even more unexpected, his body stiffened slightly, and then he fell limp.

Wen Yan held him in his arms, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes showed worry.

Seeing this, Xie Mu couldn't help being slightly surprised, and said sarcastically: "I didn't expect Master Wen to do such a thing."

Wen Yan just looked down at the man in his arms, and said calmly: "I owe Zhong Yiliang a lot, how can I let him take risks and kill you."

Xie Min was silent for a moment, and said: "Okay, it's okay to let you go this time, but if you block my way next time, don't blame me for being rude."

Wen Yan didn't answer, Liu Zhongqing said with a blank face: "A Yan, let's go with Xiaoyi."

"Okay." Wen Yan carried the man on his back, paused, and said, "Take care."

Liu Zhongqing nodded, the hand holding the knife was still firmly resting on her neck, she raised her eyes quietly to see him leave the sea of ​​flowers with Liu Zhongyi on his back, and his figure disappeared at the entrance of the snow valley.

Because Xie Miao gave the order, naturally no one stopped the two of them, they were too far away, Xie Miao stepped forward to snatch the knife from Liu Zhongqing's hand, Liu Zhongqing did not resist, let go of his hand and let him take the knife away, Feng His eyes were slightly lowered, and he remained calm.

Xie Mu lightly pinched his chin and lifted it up, kissed that curved and indifferent thin lips, and said in a deep voice, "Don't leave me again."

The corners of Liu Zhongqing's lips curled slightly, revealing a smile.
