Chapter 9

After talking with Ao Yu, the boredom in Xiao Se's heart disappeared without a trace.He thought for a while, then turned around and walked back the way he came.

In the quiet courtyard behind the inn, Wuxin was throwing fish food into the pool. The water surface was sparkling and rippled, and all kinds of fish poked their heads out to snatch the food.

"Two days later, we will go to the impasse." Xiao Se walked over with his arms resting on the wooden railing.

"You've been drinking." Wuxin glanced at him sideways.

Xiao Se twirled a pinch of fish food from his hand and slowly sprinkled it down: "I met Ao Yu and chatted for a few words. Be careful in the last two nights, there should be a lot of uninvited guests." After pondering for a moment, he said, "Honestly, Don't worry about it, kill them dishonestly, and send the body back to the owner. We don't participate in Nanjue's domestic affairs. However, if they want to provoke us, it's another matter."

"Tsk, the wind of the royal family is the same everywhere." Wu Xin raised an eyebrow at Xiao Se, "Fortunately you retreated."

Xiao Se was a little emotional: "When we were young, the three brothers chose the future path, and I chose the path of the knight-errant. Time has passed, and looking back, I have to sigh that God's will is like a knife."

It was night, and indeed many nocturnal visitors came to this quiet and secluded courtyard.Xu Shi couldn't figure out the details of the two of them, and most of the visitors moved very restrained.Seeing this, Xiao Se didn't do anything.After three quarters of the hour, the sky and the earth were pitch black, and several black shadows suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall, heading straight for the main courtyard.

"Oh? There are people who are not afraid of death!" Xiao Se lifted the quilt and walked out wearing only a plain white coat.

The black shadow has rolled under the window, and is about to throw smoke into the room.Hearing the door being opened suddenly, he quickly dropped the mist, slipped the dagger in his hand, held the handle, and leaned close to Xiao Se like lightning, with a flash of cold light, he cut his throat straight.

Xiao Se curled his lips into a sneer, and flicked his fingers towards the dagger, only to hear a click, and the dagger snapped.The other hand pinches up the neck of the person who is passing through the flowers, twists it, and throws it forward, just in time to stop the rescuer.

"You want to kill me too?" Xiao Se snorted disdainfully, "Who are you from?"

The people on the opposite side didn't answer, they looked at each other for a few moments and then attacked Xiao Se together.Xiao Se didn't care too much, and dealt with everyone casually: "Check it out, and return them."

A person sprang out from the wall, with an ordinary face and plain clothes: "Looking at their skills, they should belong to Luo Yanxuan. Behind Luo Yanxuan is Ao Yun, the third prince of Nanjue."

Xiao Se waved his hand: "Throw it back! Send Ao Yu another message."

"Yes." He waved his hand, and several people rushed out, dragging away all the corpses.

Everyone dispersed, Xiao Se yawned and entered the room.When his fingertips touched the icy water, he shivered, but remembering that he had strangled the man's neck just now, he dipped his hands into the water and washed them carefully.

"Amitabha!" Wuxin leaned on the head of the bed and recited the Buddha's name.

Xiao Se wiped the water off his hands with a dry handkerchief: "These are low-level dead men, I'm afraid Ao Yun didn't know our identities. Maybe some important people will come tonight."

"I heard Ao Yu mention it before, his brother is a bit interesting." Xiao Se walked to the inner room and yawned again, "It's really annoying to come here early in the morning."

"Sleep a little longer." Wu Xin lifted a strand of his black hair and said softly.

"Hmm." Drowsiness struck, Xiao Se replied in a daze.

Two nights in a row were uneventful.

On the third day, Xiao Se looked at the gradually brightening sky outside the window, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.Ao Yun is not a master who swallows his anger. He suffered a loss the day before yesterday, so why has he remained silent until now?

"You sent a message to Ao Yu, maybe something happened because of it." Wuxin glanced at him with a half-smile, "He treats you very well."

Xiao Se paused in his heart, looked away, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's true to hear you say that. How about staying a little longer?"

"Oh?" Wu Xin raised a dangerous arc at the end of his eyes, raised his hand and pulled him into his arms, "Boss Xiao is trying to give up?"

Xiao Se looked at Wu Xin, his undercurrent eyes made people's heart itch, he leaned closer and kissed the corner of Wu Xin's eyes, and said with a light smile: "I, Xiao Se, never trade at a loss."

The corners of Wuxin's lips hooked slightly, and she raised her head to cover his lips.A smile appeared in Xiao Se's eyes, and his slender fingers touched the delicate skin through the gap of his clothes.The beautiful scenery spread out in an instant, and murmurs and panting flowed out from the tent.

After a long time, Xiao Se finished his bath and lay down on the beauty's couch in his underwear, his eyes were lightly closed.Standing on one side, Wuxin stroked the waterfall-like blue hair with her fingers, mist rose up, and after a while, the wet hair dried up.

knock knock!

"What's the matter?" Xiao Se asked lightly.

"Prince Nanjue sent someone here."

"Understood, step back." Xiao Se stood up and stretched himself, "The boatman is here."

The two packed up and followed the guide to the pier.Ao Yu was wearing casual clothes, and took four or five people to sit at a tea stand.

Ao Yu saw two people approaching. One was dressed in blue and fox fur, lazy and lacking energy. He was Xiao Se whom he had met a few days ago; Ye Anshi, who has heard his name for a long time but never seen it before.

"What happened to your younger brother?" Xiao Se approached and asked.

"Stop talking nonsense." Ao Yu looked at him coldly, and said bluntly, "The boat is over there, and the people are on the boat. If you want to go, go quickly, don't stay in Ningcheng and hinder me."

Xiao Se said lazily: "You came here in person, not to make amends?" Looking sideways at Wuxin, "Ye Anshi, why don't we go to Dengqu City to visit Senior Tantai first? This boat will be fine for a few days .”

"Okay." Wuxin raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his lips deepened, "Last time I visited Senior Su, and I benefited a lot. It's also good to learn more about Nanjue martial arts."

Seeing the two singing together, Ao Yu's lips twitched slightly: "Ao Yun has been banned for a month. I have to see you leave with my own eyes to be relieved."

Xiao Se got the answer he wanted, and he didn't bother anymore, and boarded the boat with Wu Xin.

The blue waves are rippling, the coastline gradually disappears in front of the eyes, and the vast waters are all in sight.

Xiao Se and Wuxin lay side by side on the deck, the sea breeze blowing by brought a bit of salty smell.

"The sea is so big, where are we going? Baili Dongjun is here, do you want to take a look?" Xiao Se closed his eyes and enjoyed the warm sunshine.

"Qingshan." Wuxin spit out a word.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Xiao Se was a little surprised, and thought of some past events, "You can see Qingshan in the desperate situation of the sea. Is there really such a place as Qingshan?"

Wu Xin looked a little far away, he nodded and said: "Yes, the old monk said so."

After a short pause, he opened his eyes and asked, "Where is that place?"

Wuxin smiled lightly: "It's just an island, the scenery on the island is good, and there is a pagoda, which records the experience of many Buddhist seniors. The old monk said, if the mainland really can't tolerate me, or if I don't want to stay in the mainland, I can You can go to that island."

"Qingshan?" Xiao Se pondered for a long time, and asked in doubt, "Why don't I have any impression? It seems that Baixiaotang didn't record it either?"

"This island was accidentally discovered by the old monk when he was traveling around when he was young. He stayed on the island for a year and returned to the mainland. After that, he never mentioned it again. He almost forgot about this place. Later, because of me, he found out I dug it out from the depths of my memory." Wuxin felt a little sentimental.

Hearing this, Xiao Se was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Master Wangyou is a good master." He looked towards the sky and suddenly thought of Ji Ruofeng.

Master!

"Senior Ji Ruofeng is also a good master." Wuxin looked sideways at Xiao Se, just in time to see the nostalgia in his eyes, "When we return to the mainland, we will go and see him. Then, we will go to Khotan to see old monk."

"it is good."

After wandering around the sea for six or seven days, they finally found the island.After arriving on the island, Xiao Se realized why the island has been unknown for many years.

The island is desolate, the bare rocks are exposed in the sea breeze, and there is no green on the whole island.

"You just said that the scenery is good?" Xiao Se looked around, "Even after so many years, it's impossible for the changes to be so great."

Wuxin thought for a moment, touched his chin and said, "That's right! According to what the old monk said, it's in this direction."

"Hey!" Xiao Se held his forehead, "Did you forget that when you went to Khotan, you led the way to the vicinity of Muliang City?"

"..." Wuxin was silent for a few breaths, "I definitely didn't lead the wrong way this time, let's take a look around the entire island first."

Xiao Se lowered his feet and floated forward: "Let's go!"

Across the beach, up the cliffs.Xiao Se looked at the turbulent waves below the cliff, and sighed: "Why don't you draw the picture, and I'll analyze it for you."

Wuxin didn't answer, frowning and looking at the sea in front of her.Suddenly, he stretched out a finger and pointed directly at the void in front of him: "The six roots are pure!"

The turbulent waves stopped instantly, and then ripples appeared in the entire space, the azure blue was gradually infiltrated by greenery, and soon a little pink was added.

"Huh! What kind of formation is this? The Formation of Lonely Void?" Seeing the verdant trees under the cliff, the peach blossoms scorching, the winding water, and the dense pagoda, Xiao Se was very surprised.He can still detect some clues in the formation of loneliness, but he can't find any flaws in this formation.

Wu Xin smiled slightly, proudly said: "I'll just say it's this island!"

Xiao Se rolled his eyes and hummed lightly.The figure flashed and headed towards the bluestone pagoda.The closer you get, the more you can feel a sense of simplicity and desolation.

"I don't know this formation, but it's not the formation of solitude. You haven't practiced Buddhism, so you can't see any flaws." Wuxin floated to Xiao Se's side and said.

Xiao Se nodded and said: "Perhaps, this is the reason why Master Wangyou asked you to come. The Buddhist sect will not target you too much for his sake, and other people can't find this place at all."

"Perhaps!" Wu Xin smiled.

"Heart." Xiao Se stood in front of the tower, looked at the inscription on the tower gate, and said in surprise, "The name of this tower... is interesting."

Wuxin waved his sleeves to brush away the dust in front of the door, and pushed open the heavy stone door.crunch!The coldness rushed towards the face, and the candlesticks on the wall ignited in response.

The two stepped into the tower, Xiao Se rubbed his arms, frowned and said, "Why do you feel so oozing?"

"Are you scared?" Wuxin tilted her head and raised her eyebrows.

"It's a bit cold." The surrounding area was dense with blue stones, and the temperature dropped a lot in an instant.Xiao Se gathered the fox fur tightly, and retracted his hands into his sleeves.

Wu Xin held Xiao Se's hand, which was cold to the touch. He summoned his internal energy to warm him up: "This tower is weird, I don't feel cold." He thought for a while, and said, "You wait for me outside. After enlightenment, I will come out."

Xiao Se glanced at the various languages ​​engraved on the stone wall, nodded and said: "Slowly realize, don't worry. The power of heaven and earth is active here, and I just happen to warm and nourish the hidden vein."

"Yeah." Wuxin said with a grin, "When I understand everything, maybe I can enter my mind."

Wuxin looked layer by layer, and finally stopped in front of a wall on the eighth floor. He sat cross-legged, staring at the wall and thinking.

Xiao Se got out of the Heart Tower, turned around under the cliff, and found a clean giant bluestone to lie down on.The internal force circulates in the meridians, gradually forming an echo with the heaven and the earth.He controlled the power of heaven and earth, carefully introduced the hidden vein, and then put it back into heaven and earth.Scattered jade-colored light spots sank into the hidden veins, slowly repairing the damage.

Gradually, Xiao Se forgot to guide the power of heaven and earth, time, and everything.The whole person is completely integrated into the heaven and the earth, and those invisible forces of the heaven and the earth pass through his body, as if there is nothing.In the outside world, there was mist around him, and the surrounding vegetation grew more vigorously.

The sea breeze blows, the peach blossoms fall, and the whole cliff falls silent.
