I just want to repair a flute [Martial Arts]

When Di Yun came out from the depths of the cave, the heroes had already left the snow mountain one after another. They learned about the death of the Blood Knife Patriarch and successfully rescued Shui Sheng. Everything seemed so perfect, and everyone was satisfied, so they all went back.

No one cares about Di Yun, and no one cares about his life or death.

——Only Ding Feng stood at the entrance of the cave, handed him a brand new set of clothes, and said with a smile: "Sorry for the long wait, we can leave now."

"Thank you, thank you." Di Yun stammered, still a little uncomfortable with his kindness, but Ding Feng put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile: "We are friends for life and death, so why should you be polite to me? Let's go, change your clothes, and we should leave here."

Yun Chuxiu had already left with Yuan Suiyun. When they arrived at the nearby town, Sun Jian kept his promise and ordered a table of delicious dishes for him. He also called a few singing girls from the nearby brothel to play music to entertain him. After dinner, he returned to the guest room. The servants had already warmed the bed with the stove, and there was a warm incense burning at the head of the bed to help him sleep. Yun Chuxiu felt sleepy almost as soon as he entered the room, but he still forced himself to take a careful bath and changed into a new set of pajamas, and then he lay down comfortably on the bed.

Then he was happily in a state between half asleep and half awake, when he was pushed awake by Yuan Suiyun.

"What are you doing?" Even though Yun Chuxiu rarely lost his temper with him, he couldn't help but pout. Yuan Suiyun carefully looked at his face in the candlelight, and felt that his nasal voice was no different from a spoiled child, so he asked seriously, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, let's talk about it tomorrow." Knowing that it was useless to reason with him, and that only practical benefits could make someone give in, Yun Chuxiu, without even opening his eyes, groped to hook his neck, kissed him twice on the side of his cheek, then turned his back and immersed himself again in the illusory dream.

——Then he turned over casually with Yuan Suiyun and was ruthlessly awakened again.

"Old Yuan! I'm really angry!" Yun Chuxiu opened his eyes, pounced on him with his teeth bared, and pressed Yuan Suiyun under him. "I haven't slept in a bed for several months! Please have pity on me!"

He put his chin on Yuan Suiyun's shoulder and yawned a little. He thought it would be okay for him to fall asleep like this. However, Yuan Suiyun sneered and said, "I pity you? Do you really need pity? Master Yun is so confident! Even in the face of an avalanche, he still has the heart to lend a helping hand to others. I am ashamed of myself."

If he insisted on settling the score at this time, Yun Chuxiu would not be sleepy anymore. He turned his head to try to peek at Yuan Suiyun's expression, but he only saw his tall, straight nose. I always feel that he has been angry since he met me. Yun Chuxiu thought so. But this time, he would not give in no matter what.

"But, that other person is you." He whispered. "Besides, you know, I've been on a snowy mountain before, what can an avalanche do to me?"

Hearing this, Yuan Suiyun's eyes became more profound. He didn't try to hide his true nature in front of Yun Chuxiu, but he had never been as frightening as today. Yun Chuxiu was clearly lying on top of him, and he could hold his slender neck with one hand, but he felt like a thorn in his back, and subconsciously raised his body, trying to escape from him -

Yuan Suiyun put a hand on his neck, and Yun Chuxiu suddenly froze like a cat with its weak spot pinched.

"You always waste my time. Do you think I won't do anything to you?" he said in a deep voice. The hand caressing Yun Chuxiu's neck was more like an attempt to break Yun Chuxiu's neck than a lover's caress. "Why can't you just stay by my side? ... Is it true that only by breaking your legs can you learn your lesson?"

"To be honest, with your previous mentality, if my leg was really broken, you would probably have no interest in me at all." Yun Chuxiu said bluntly, and then he felt Yuan Suiyun's hand grabbing his foot, and he quickly begged for mercy: "I was just talking nonsense, I was just talking nonsense... Don't pinch me! What if you really break my leg! I don't want to be a cripple!"

"If you're really that afraid of death, shouldn't you take better care of yourself?" Yuan Suiyun said sarcastically. "Even in that situation, you might not be able to do anything to me, don't you know?"

"That's what I said, but I didn't think too much about it at the time." Yun Chuxiu tilted his head and said frankly. "At that time, I just wanted to make sure nothing happened to you."

"……Why?"

"Why so many whys? People do things because they want to do it!" Yun Chuxiu said as a matter of course. He was such a passionate man who was loyal to his heart. He didn't know why some people in this world were too embarrassed to say good things. "Although you are two-faced, scheming, vindictive, and always threaten to break my legs, I still want you to be well."

He smiled, still as beautiful as when they first met, so beautiful that Yuan Suiyun's anger subsided a bit. He said helplessly: "Since I met you, I don't seem to be the same person anymore. It's really strange. Do people really change because of meeting different people? If you don't want your legs broken, do you want me to throw you on the snowy mountain in the future?"

"If you accompany me, then I can consider it." Yun Chuxiu said with a smile. "In fact, there is one thing I wanted to do to you when I was still in the mountain!"

He put his hand into the quilt. Yuan Suiyun didn't know what he was doing, but the fire only lasted for a moment. After the fire died down, he used a handkerchief to clean Yun Chuxiu's hands, and then he said hypocritically: "It is said that when you are full and warm, you will think about it... You are hungry and cold in the mountains, why are you still thinking about this?"

Yun Chuxiu: “…” Of course it’s because we are well fed and clothed now, how can this be considered as taking advantage of others?
Yuan Suiyun said with a straight face: "Tell me, is it because of Ding Feng or that Di Yun?"

Yun Chuxiu pretended to think: "Then Ding Feng is indeed better looking... Hahahahahaha, I'm kidding, please stop tickling me..."

After laughing and joking for half the night, Yun Chuxiu was listless the next morning, with a stern face and ignored everyone. Seeing this, Sun Jian couldn't help but ask: "What happened? You just came back, did Suiyun bully you?"

It was great that he wanted to be the big brother. Yun Chuxiu immediately complained to him, "Lao Yuan bit me!" There are still teeth marks on his shoulder!
Sun Jian: "..." Sun Jian felt that he shouldn't have waited for them to have breakfast together. After coughing heavily, he had to imitate his father's usual behavior and said in a smooth manner: "Is that so... Come on, come on, eat, eat."

Yun Chuxiu looked at him eagerly, very disappointed: "You don't even scold him?"

Sun Jian pretended not to hear and rolled his eyes silently. It was not strange for a man to be wild in bed. Yun Chuxiu was too inexperienced and had never seen true ruthlessness. It was a pity that the two men were together, and it was not easy to pass on his experience to him... It was better not to meddle in other people's business.

Yuan Suiyun picked up a bun with a smile and directly blocked his lover's mouth.

But after a hearty meal, Yun Chuxiu regained his spirits and remembered that he still had some important things to do: "Oh, by the way, when we were in the mountains, Di Yun and I agreed that I would accompany him to bury a friend of his and then send him back to his hometown."

"Is he your new friend now?" Yuan Suiyun asked casually, sharing half of the Fuling Cake on his plate with him. Sun Jian was impatient to eat porridge and snacks like them, so he ordered a bowl of noodles with a roasted lamb leg. He was also very satisfied. He wiped his mouth and said, "Is there anything special about that kid? Is it worth our Divine Doctor Yun's attention?"

"His martial arts are quite interesting, what is it called... Shen Zhao Jing! And... the lying corpse swordsmanship, it seems to be called Liancheng swordsmanship." As he said that, Yun Chuxiu used the chopsticks in his hand as a sword and demonstrated two moves. The days on the snowy mountain were too boring, and they often fought with each other to pass the time. After a while, he also learned some of Di Yun's swordsmanship. "I think Ding Feng is quite interested, and he even exchanges swordsmanship with Di Yun to learn. Old Yuan, do you accept him as your apprentice because you like his enthusiasm for learning?"

Yuan Suiyun only heard the two terms "Shen Zhao Jing" and "Liancheng Sword Technique" and understood everything. He squinted his eyes and laughed secretly: "He has always been a smart man."

Of course, he only likes smart people.

Yun Chuxiu could tell that he had something else in mind, but that was normal, just like he knew that Ding Feng had other intentions. However, some things in the world were hard to understand, and at least the guy in front of him could help Di Yun realize his wish.

He told the people around him about Di Yun's experience: It turned out that Di Yun was just a young man who farmed in the countryside. He grew up with his junior sister under the tutelage of his master Qi Changfa, and practiced the "lying corpse swordsmanship" of his master. His life was peaceful and comfortable. But a few years ago, someone found the countryside where they lived, claiming to be a disciple of Qi Changfa's senior brother Wan Zhenshan, and invited them to attend Wan Zhenshan's birthday banquet. Qi Changfa then took two disciples to visit the Wan family.

However, when they arrived at Wan's house, the thief Lu Tong came to seek revenge on Wan Zhenshan, but was defeated by Di Yun by mistake. Several of Wan Zhenshan's disciples felt that Di Yun had overshadowed them, so they came to provoke Di Yun in the middle of the night and beat him up. However, an old beggar jumped out and taught Di Yun a few sword moves, allowing him to fight back against several of them. Then the master and the uncle quarreled over Di Yun's swordsmanship, and the two went into the house and closed the door. Somehow, when the door was opened again, Wan Zhenshan was already seriously injured, and Qi Changfa was nowhere to be found.

Faced with such a sudden change, Di Yun and his apprentice sister Qi Fang were very confused and could only stay at the Wan family for the time being. However, not long after, Di Yun was falsely accused of rape and theft and thrown into prison for nearly four years. During this time, his apprentice sister Qi Fang even married Wan Zhenshan's son Wan Gui. This news made him so heartbroken that he decided to commit suicide. Fortunately, he was saved by a prisoner named Ding Dian in the cell, who also taught him the internal power "Shen Zhao Jing", and the two became close friends.

Ding Dian has a lover named Ling Shuanghua, the daughter of Ling Tuisi, the prefect of this place. She and Ding Dian fell in love and promised to spend their lives together. Ding Dian, who was a martial arts master, never left the prison cell just for her. Every morning, Ling Shuanghua would put a pot of blooming flowers on the windowsill for Ding Dian to see. Although the two could not even communicate a word, they always kept their hearts closely connected in this way.

Until one day, the flower pot on the windowsill was never replaced. Ding Dian finally couldn't hold back and fled the cell with Di Yun. However, what greeted them was the news of Ling Shuanghua's death and Ling Tui Si's poisonous plan: he coated Ling Shuanghua's coffin with a deadly poison. When Ding Dian touched the coffin and cried, he was inevitably contaminated with the poison and died soon after. Di Yun, with his body, continued to be hunted down by the people of Jianghu who came for the "Shen Zhao Jing"...

"This is outrageous!" Hearing this, Sun Jian, who was hot-tempered, could not help but shout out in anger. He cared most about brotherhood and could not stand people like Ling Tui Si who used vicious schemes, so he was particularly angry. Yuan Suiyun reached out to take the teapot, poured him a cup of tea, and comforted him: "Brother Sun, why are you angry? Aren't there many people like you in the world?"

"It's because there are so many villains in the world that I'm angry. Di Yun is great. He's a good brother and very loyal!" Sun Jian praised sincerely, but he also had some questions. "But what kind of martial arts is this Shen Zhao Jing? If it's so magical, why would so many people flock to it?"

"No, the focus is not on the Shenzhaojing, but the Liancheng Swordsmanship." Yuan Suiyun said calmly. Now that he had come to this point, he also added some things he knew to the other two. There was once a famous martial arts master in Xiangxi, known as Tiegu Mo'e, named Mei Niansheng. He had three apprentices, namely "Five Cloud Hands" Wan Zhenshan, "Land Dragon" Yan Daping and "Iron Lock Across the River" Qi Changfa, but unfortunately, none of these three people were as bright and clear as their master. Instead, they were all vicious and unscrupulous. For a copy of Liancheng Sword Manual in the master's hand, they actually united to plot against the master!
It is said that after Mei Niansheng was seriously injured, he was rescued and disappeared. He never appeared in the martial arts world again, and he should have died. However, the Shenzhaojing is the martial arts that made him famous. The person who possessed the Shenzhaojing martial arts may be the one who saved him. In his hand, he may have the Liancheng Sword Manual that was once famous in the martial arts world!
"It is said that this sword manual is related to the treasure of Emperor Xiao Yi, the Emperor of Liang during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, so it is so eye-catching." Yuan Suiyun said. Yun Chuxiu couldn't help but frowned when he heard the name: "Xiao Yi? The emperor who killed his brothers, nephews, and even nephews' great-grandsons? If he said that he left behind a treasure, it would be quite credible."

Sun Jian said disdainfully: "A man has hands and feet, what can't he get? Why do he have to scheme hard to get the things left by the dead." He had no interest in the so-called treasure, so he didn't ask too much. He just called Di Yun and asked about his well-being. When he learned that Ding Dian had been carrying Ding Dian's ashes with him until now, he was very moved. He patted his shoulder and said: "Ding Dian has a good brother like you, and his life is not in vain! Di Yun, don't worry, I will accompany you to bury your brother. I, Sun Jian, want to see who wants your life!"

Di Yun stood there stupidly, not understanding what was going on until he saw Yun Chuxiu, who looked brand new, sitting aside and blinking at him. Then he understood what was going on. He nodded gratefully towards Yun Chuxiu and stammered to express his gratitude to Sun Jian for his kindness.

Yun Chuxiu turned sideways, leaned on Yuan Suiyun's shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "So, you also want Emperor Liang Yuan's treasure?"

After all, Ding Feng’s will is Yuan Suiyun’s will, so what is there that he doesn’t understand?

Yuan Suiyun said something to him and replied with a smile, "I do have that idea... But I think that Emperor Liang Yuan's treasure may not be the same as what others think."

"?" Yun Chuxiu tilted his head, not understanding what he was talking about. However, he actually had no interest in the treasure, so he quickly put the matter behind him and started stuffing cakes into his mouth with great interest.
