The chivalrous spirit is fickle

tick.

A tear finally fell from the corner of Zhu Yin's eyes. She lowered her head, refusing to let anyone see her expression, not even a beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman held Zhu Yin's hand and walked slowly to the street. He looked up at the sky, let out a long breath, and said with satisfaction.

"Silly girl, you know what."

"Every time I think of your kindness in not being bound by Akamon, I feel that my life has not been lived in vain, and my death has not been in vain."

As she spoke, the beautiful woman stretched out her hand, gently stroked Zhu Yin's little face, wiped away her tears, and smiled.

"Why are you crying? What's there to cry about? Do you want me to cry too?"

Zhu Yin shook her head, but her tears could not stop falling. The beautiful woman wiped for a long time before finally wiping away all the tears from Zhu Yin's face.

The beautiful woman sighed and continued walking. He no longer looked at the street, but raised his head, looked at the sky, and said in a daze.

"The day I joined the Red Gate, the leader set off a fireworks display."

"Many children left Chimen, but I stayed. I hid in a corner and looked at the fireworks in the sky."

The beautiful woman looked dazed, with fireworks flickering in her eyes. He seemed to see that night when he was looking at the children who chose to leave across a river. The blooming fireworks were reflected on the surface of the river, marking the farewell at that time.

"It's so pretty."

“I really want to see it again.”

The beautiful woman spoke softly with a smile on her lips, and then she closed her eyes.

In the White Bird Temple, the oil-paper umbrella placed by the door slid slowly and fell into dust.

At the same time, Zhu Yin stood alone on the street, looking at the people passing by, tears streaming down her face.

Shi Gu stood in the distance, quietly looking at Zhu Yin with tears streaming down her face. He gently raised his hand, and a ball of black magic flame emerged from his palm. He raised his palm, and the ball of black magic flame shot up into the sky, drawing a straight black line in the sky, and then bloomed at the highest point.

The scattered black devil flames fell in all directions like petals. After flashing, they disappeared in the wind, just like a firework.

On this day, people all over Lin'an City saw a fireworks display in broad daylight, which bloomed in the sky, streaked out countless rays of light, and disappeared in the wind. Among the crowd who looked up, Zhu Yin stared at the fireworks in the sky in a daze, like a puppet.

Looking at this scene, Shi Gu turned and left, squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.

This farewell to my old friend ends here.

……

There are always storms in the world, and there is never a peaceful day.

Li Musheng had abandoned his sword and knife for many years, and walked back to his hometown with a tattered broken sword.

For unknown reasons, the Yulin League once again had a dispute with the Demon Cult, and the conflict was revived.

It is said that

A swordsman came from the Far North. He brought a sword with him, but no one had ever seen him draw the sword.

At the conference that Zongming Mansion is going to hold, countless monsters will appear, hiding in the dark, and no one knows what they are planning.

A swordsman, fighting his way out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, killed a ninth-grade martial arts master with an eighth-grade martial arts sword, and declared himself the next Tiantian Jiesha.

Countless pieces of news passed through the turbulent rivers and lakes and arrived at the Tongtian Tower, but they didn't know that the Tongtian Tower also welcomed an uninvited guest.

Inside the Tongtian Tower, Wang Tianlai took a sip of wine, his face full of worry. He looked at the dusty Jiang Baizhi below and asked.

"My dear Miss, why did it take you so long to investigate the Qingcheng Bone Release? Don't you know that the Pavilion Master and I have been very worried these days?"

Jiang Baizhi did not answer, but put the heavy book box on the ground and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Wang, I may not be able to leave Tongtian Tower like this."

"Qingcheng Shigu... this person is more complicated than I thought."

(Volume 1, end)

Chapter 1: One Year Later, and Under the Moon

one year later.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and time passes by like a flash.

The light rain, accompanied by the spring breeze, fell into the small city of Lin'an. The drizzle was like silk, like lines falling from the sky, falling into the streets and alleys.

The incense pavilion was full of guests, with people mixing and bustling about, and it looked like business was booming.

Shi Gu sat in a private room on the second floor, holding a cup of tea, looking at the stage downstairs comfortably and lazily.

No one would have expected that the theater, which had very poor business a year ago, is now the most prosperous place in Lin'an City.

It's not that the people of Lin'an City suddenly changed their personalities and became fond of listening to operas, but that the manager of the opera house, Huang Chejian, took a different approach and came up with some new tricks.

Huang Che was really a wonderful man. In order to improve the theater's business, he came up with an idea that even Shi Gu found strange.

On the stage downstairs, a young actor in a long dress was sitting quietly on the mirror, and behind him, Huang Che was wearing old makeup and looked like a middle-aged man.

Huang Che was immersed in the play. He used a comb to comb the long hair of the "woman" in front of him. He had a gentle look in his eyes and spoke in a hoarse and unpleasant voice.

"You really are becoming more and more like your mother."

This is not opera singing or opera lyrics, but the most direct vernacular. This is the solution Huang Che came up with.

He changed the appearance of traditional drama, no longer singing those lines, but speaking directly in plain language. This is actually nothing, but the real essence is the script written by Huang Che himself.

The stuff this guy writes is a bit sinister.

Just like the play performed on stage, Shi Gu had read the script written by Huang Che, and the plot scared Shi Gu a lot.

The plot is not complicated. In short, the hero was born in a wealthy family, but one day he met with a sudden misfortune. His parents died, his family wealth was gone, and the young boy was taken away by his uncle who had been away from home for many years.

Then, the hero looked delicate and more and more like his mother, and his uncle had actually liked his mother for many years, and then... then his uncle forced the hero to wear a skirt.

Shi Gu frowned, not wanting to think about it any further. He just felt that Huang Che must have some shameful side job behind the scenes.

There are many homosexuals in this world, and the people of Lin'an City say they can accept this outrageous plot.

Thus, under the guidance of Shi Gu, the Akamon disciples of Bai Niao Temple also joined in and started acting with Huang Che and the others.

This melodramatic and gimmicky weird play soon became a craze in Lin'an City, making Shi Gu a fortune.

Shi Gu closed the window and didn't want to watch any more. He didn't want to review such things. Fortunately, Huang Che and his friends still liked traditional dramas. After this outrageous and weird drama was over, they would still perform a whole traditional drama.

If Shi Gu remembered correctly, today's play should be "Water Flooding Jinshan Mountain". Shi Gu had watched this play many times and had lost interest in it.

So, after drinking a pot of hot tea, Shigu left Dengxiang Pavilion. Lin'an City was still the same as before, so remote that it made people feel pity, yet so noisy that made people irritated.

But after the daytime fireworks a year ago, the Shiratori Temple closed its doors, and the long-haired "nuns" in the temple gradually started other businesses.

Restaurants and teahouses, as if they were going to become the richest people in Lin'an City, those Chimen disciples changed into men's clothes, began to show their faces in public, and started to live like ordinary people.

Shi Gu walked all the way back to his remote courtyard, pushed the door open, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw two beautiful figures standing on both sides of the courtyard.

Shen Yue was wearing a white dress and had long hair like a waterfall. She had grown a lot taller and looked even taller. She had willow-shaped eyebrows, a waist as thin as a willow, and a more graceful figure. There was a moving scene between her eyebrows and eyes, and she held a long sword in her hand.

The sword was like colored glass, crystal clear, reflecting the sunlight shining from the sky.

On the other side, Su Xue was wearing a black suit, with a tight waist, long hair draped over her shoulders, a black sword case on her back, and a very long Miao Dao in her hand. She looked heroic, less gentle and more determined than a year ago.

In just one year, the two little girls have grown more and more beautiful.

Shi Gu lay back on his recliner, looked at the two people confronting each other, waved his hand gently and said.

"Okay, let's get started."

As soon as the words fell, two graceful figures moved at the same time, with quick steps, swords flashing and knives falling.

The glazed sword and the long knife danced at the same time, and as the two people shuttled back and forth, they fell to one place.

Clang, clang, clang.

The sounds of swords clashing rang out one after another. The two figures were entangled in one place, like two butterflies dancing gracefully, with light steps. The sword and the knife touched each other without leaving any flaws.

Shen Yue waved the glazed sword, the sword was like a cold moon, emitting rays of light. She took a step, turned around, opened her cherry lips slightly, and spit out a breath of black magic flame, and pounced on Su Xue.

Su Xue stepped back quickly with a cold look on her face, staring at the black devil flames that were coming towards her. She adjusted her breathing, exhaled, and slightly tilted her body. The long sword quickly swept across the ground, bringing up a gust of breeze, and she slashed at the black devil flames with one blow.

The two men were fighting, sometimes the swords flashed like shadows, sometimes the knife energy was sweeping, but there was no clear winner.

Shi Gu leaned back in the bamboo chair and shook his head slightly. In one year, these two people had consumed most of his collection of rare treasures and finally reached the fourth level of martial arts.

Shen Yue is extremely talented, so it is not difficult for him to stabilize his realm. Su Xue has dragon bones in her body, so she can also stabilize her rapidly improving realm. The only problem is that she is becoming less and less respectful to her master.

"Tsk."

Thinking of this, Shi Gu couldn't help but smacking his lips. After a moment, Shen Yue and Su Xue stopped, sat cross-legged in the yard, and began to regulate their breathing.

After regulating her breathing, Shen Yue blinked her eyes, raised her chin, and skipped to Shi Gu, putting her hands on her hips and speaking proudly.

"Master, am I really amazing?"

Boom!

Shi Gu did not answer Shen Yue's question. Instead, he raised his hand and gently hit her on the head. Shen Yue immediately became furious, clenched her fist, and was about to go forward and fight Shi Gu to the death, but Shi Gu pinched her face with his backhand, making her unable to move.

"Shen Yue, some books in my room are missing. Have you seen them?" Shi Gu's voice was gentle, but his two big hands rubbed Shen Yue's little face unceremoniously, squeezing it flat and rounding it.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue blinked her eyes, looked at Shi Gu with an innocent expression, and asked.

"Master, you know me. I hate reading the most."

Shi Gu sneered and said.

"I saw those books at a bookstall outside today, and the stall owner said someone sold them to him."

"The waiter at the hot pot restaurant also told me that you brought Su Xue with you yesterday and ordered a large table of dishes."

"That's the hardcover edition of "Sex and Zen" and "The Crazy Dragon and the Beautiful Woman". I collected them with great difficulty!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue raised her eyebrows and said unconvincedly.

"Xiaoxue also has a share, Master, why don't you bully her? This is not fair!"

Su Xue was shocked when she heard this, and immediately took a step back, looking at Shen Yue and scolding.

"No loyalty!"

After saying that, Su Xue turned around and tried to run away, but a big hand reached out, pinched her ear, and forcibly pulled her back.

Shi Gu put their little faces together, pressed one of their faces with one hand, pinched the soft flesh, and spoke angrily.

"You two traitors, you took my treasure and went out to exchange it for money to eat hot pot, and you didn't even call me your master when you ate hot pot."

"You two are lawless!"

Shen Yue and Su Xue cried out in pain and replied unconvincedly.

"The illustrated books are so risqué that they don't even show clothes."

"That's right, it's clearly a pornographic picture, but you call it a book."

"Master, you are shameless!"

"Yes, Master, you are a pervert, a sex maniac, and you have no sense of shame!"

Shi Gu's breathing was choked and he was unable to speak, but then his face turned black and he said something desperate.

"Ah, yes, yes."

"I am a lecher, a sex maniac, and I have no sense of shame. Whatever you two say, I just want my books."

"Give me back my books, both of you!!"

Shen Yue and Su Xue looked at each other, and in tacit understanding, they opened their mouths and bit Shi Gu's hand.

"hiss……"

Shi Gu sucked in a breath of cold air with pain, grimaced, and subconsciously loosened his hands. Then, Su Xue and Shen Yue both rushed up with their fists clenched.

The three of them immediately started fighting. Sometimes Shi Gu was beaten by the two men's fists, and sometimes Shi Gu grabbed the ears of the two men and forced them to return the book.

After a fight, the three of them sat down again as if nothing had happened. There was no change in Shen Yue and Su Xue, except that Shi Gu had a few more teeth marks on his hands.

There are three bamboo lounge chairs in the yard. Except for the first one, the remaining two lounge chairs were bought by Shen Yue and Su Xue after pestering Shi Gu.

The three of them were like lazy ghosts, lazily lying on the bamboo chairs and chatting casually. Most of the time, it was Shen Yue who was talking and it was impossible to keep quiet at all.

Shi Gu looked at Shen Yue who was talking nonstop, his eyes dazed. Perhaps no one could have imagined that when he first met Shen Yue, she would be a cold and silent person.

Gradually, the sun set and night fell from afar.
