The bright moon sits on the ground

Chapter 236

Before the time for a cup of tea.

Huang Sheng was calm and composed. He blew out the lamp, and the step he took out really surprised Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng. The sound of the howling wind seemed to be an omen. It seemed that there would be a sound of bones coming from the abyss in the next second. The crisp sound of shattering.

However, the sound of bones breaking did not resound. The wind was split by something and rushed towards the sides, making a piercing scream.

Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng realized almost at the same time that it was Huang Sheng's whip - he was really desperate, and he was conceited.

The sound of the stone being whipped, the sound of the golden whip being straightened, the sound of Huang Sheng stepping on the stone platform... came two or three times one after another, surging in the depths of the darkness, echoing, and clearly transmitted to their hearts. Immediately, they knew that those swaying black shadows were nothing but other stone platforms, standing in the shadows beyond their sight, like wandering ghosts.

Fang Qisheng listened quietly for a while. He was sure that Huang Sheng had climbed onto the high platform. The rustling sound of cloth rubbing echoed in this empty and lonely place, like the sound of snakes and insects crawling. So he opened the car. and asked, "How are you?"

There was a crisp sound of the whip from below, and it was whipped on the stone platform, lazily, and it was right to answer Fang Qisheng.

After a while, a cluster of flames suddenly rose in the darkness, getting smaller and smaller. Nie Qiu stared closely at the small flame until it went out and disappeared into the depths of the darkness. This place was not as deep as they had imagined. The stone platform where Huang Sheng was located was not too far away from them. He probably threw a torch down there, and it went out when it hit the ground.

In fact, Xu Hua and Hong Gui are still silently waiting for Nie Qiu's decision in the copper bell, and Fang Qi brought a bow and crossbow that is often used to attack cities and mountains before he was born. The end where the arrow should be inserted is the hook claw. There was a silvery cold light under the candlelight, when they were still hesitating whether there was a hidden watchman, whether they had set up a trap that they couldn't detect, Huang Sheng had already jumped down.

However, Huang Sheng's reckless behavior was not meaningless, at least they knew that there was really nothing else in this place.

Moreover, they also knew the general direction and the height of the stone platform, so that they would not be blinded.

"He's really..." Nie Qiuban shook his head helplessly, resting his chin and said, "Shall we go down now?"

Fang Qisheng thought to himself, among the three of them, Huang Sheng was the craziest, followed by him, and Nie Qiu usually assumed the responsibility of the kite string, pulling them back unsteadily, but sometimes Nie Qiu was more crazier than others. He's even better.

"Wait here for a while." He said, "Didn't Huang Sheng say before he went down, let's give him some time."

Nie Qiu looked sideways at Fang Qisheng, "Aren't you going to stop him?"

Fang Qisheng shrugged his shoulders, with a cold expression, and said: "You have also seen that no matter how I persuade him, he will only think that I am nosy, so let him go. I think he probably won't hit the south wall and not turn back. You don’t let go until you feel pain.”

They brushed away the thick layer of dust on the relief, and the dust flew around, making people cough in a low voice.In tight corners, for example, at the intersection of stars, there are even cobwebs, and small black spiders come out of the gaps, swinging their eight slender legs, and run away quickly-this place has been untouched for a long time. Nie Qiu felt that the owner here didn't even know about Chang Jinyu's existence.

The fine dust was brushed off, and the relief was finally willing to show its true appearance to the world.

The indigo-colored stars are reminiscent of some kind of clear and bright crystal, and like the scales on the sideburns of a dragon on the top of the palace gate. Reminiscent of wanton and warm rouge, and like a stick of incense burning on the high platform of the ancient Raksha Temple, it is fearless, reckless, calm and calm; the dark moon reminds people of erratic and soft tulle, It is also like a begonia sleeping soundly in the morning fog, carrying a curtain of dreams, mysterious and leisurely.

In addition, there are other things: in the center of the stone platform, there is a fox that is the same as the stone pillar and the mural.

Nie Qiu stretched out his five fingers, tentatively hugged the not-so-big fox, and groped along the edge lightly and slowly. Immediately, he became more cautious and spent more time than before. It wasn't until the last finger left the relief and the fingertips returned to warmth that he exhaled slowly, and Fang Qisheng said, "Here, there is a mechanism that can be unscrewed."

Whether it's a trap or a key to open up a new path, before he knows it, he can't act recklessly like Huang Sheng.

Fang Qisheng pressed his shoulders and said: "When we walked through this place just now, the mechanism was not triggered at all. If it is the mechanism you said that can only be triggered by turning it, then it is not a trap. However, the stone here There are too many platforms to count, and I don’t know if there are such mechanisms on other stone platforms, I am worried that what is triggered is something underneath..."

He paused, and then said: "In order to prevent Master and Huang Sheng from being affected, it is better not to open it for the time being."

Nie Qiu pondered for a moment, then called out the red ghost. The blue-faced, long-toothed ghost wove thin threads of fireworks, and carefully hid a thread in the gap at the edge of the mechanism, and then hid it in the murals on both sides of the last stone step. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to see the very inconspicuous lines. If there were real immortals, once there was a turmoil, the flame would dissipate in an instant, and the red ghost would be able to feel it.

After doing all this, Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng leaned against the stone wall, folded their arms and waited quietly, giving Huang Sheng enough time.

Having said that, they didn't know what happened to Huang Sheng's other end, whether he successfully reunited with Chang Jinyu, what was Chang Jinyu's situation now, what Huang Sheng said, what was Chang Jinyu's reaction, Did you give him an answer.

"Based on what you know about Master Chang," Nie Qiu casually asked, "what do you think he will react?"

"How do you think you would react when someone nervously told you a truth you already knew?"

Nie Qiu thought for a while, "Probably, I didn't have much reaction, because this is what I expected."

"This will be Chang Jinyu's reaction to Huang Sheng." Fang Qisheng lowered his eyes and said, "Back when Chang Jinyu went to the brothel, Huang Sheng turned around with a dark face and broke the precious vase without saying a word. In the end, it was Chang Jinyu who made a lot of money with a smirk on his face, and the madam was willing to let him go. You said, how could Chang Jinyu not be clear about such an obvious thing."

"He may have planned in his heart long ago, but it's impossible to accept it." He sneered, "Master's confidante is all over the world, such as Jiang Li, the master of Sword Sect of Sword Sect, Hong Ling, the drinking girl of Drunken Huan Sect, and Yan Yan. Xu Chenyu, the second senior sister who came back to the door...Although these people either had nothing to do with him, or wanted to kill him with their own hands, but you can also know who he is."

The landscapes and beauties in the world are all slow, but Chang Jinyu is in a hurry, taking a taste of it, and will never be held back by anyone.

"Huang Sheng has a place in Master's heart, so whether it's Jiangjiao, Hong Ling, or Xu Chenyu, Master will agree, but he will never agree to Huang Sheng." Fang Qisheng concluded, "He thinks Love is too shallow, the world is vast, time is long, and those who can see the prosperity of this world with him have family members, friends, and disciples, but they cannot be lovers."

It is estimated that the time is about the same. Even if Huang Sheng had a fight with Chang Jinyu, it should be over. Fang Qisheng took out the Flying Tiger Claw from his luggage, and there was a gust of wind, and the soul led the end of the claw to the stone platform below. Moving the hook claws, knocking out a crisp sound, after making sure that the hook claws firmly grasped the corner of the stone platform, Fang Qisheng fixed the end of the steel cable, let Nie Qiu go first, and himself followed closely behind.

Just as they imagined, this stone platform was indeed the place where Huang Sheng stopped not long ago.

There were still sporadic bloodstains scattered on it, not much, and it could be seen that he was injured, but the wound was not too deep, and there was a faint bitter smell in the air, which was pungent and fishy, ​​and Fang Qisheng obviously liked the smell too Very familiar, explained to Nie Qiu, "This is a kind of medicinal herb that can be used to refresh the mind. When we usually talk about 'leaves', we all know that it refers to this unknown medicinal herb."

"I remember that this kind of leaf will be addictive if used too much." Nie Qiu leaned over to clean up the blood, and asked tentatively, "Do you often use it?"

"I will use it occasionally. Don't worry, I will control it to the point where I won't become addicted." Fang Qisheng didn't shy away from it with him, "I remember seeing her use it when I fought with Fu Chonghong before. This thing is not poison. , but, Master has never liked addictive things, Huang Sheng and I will basically avoid him when we use it—Huang Sheng will inevitably be lectured by him."

Having been with Fang Qisheng for such a long time, Nie Qiu has never seen him use it, so naturally he has no doubts about him, so he didn't ask again.

Huang Sheng's rope was still here, and Fang Qisheng put it away to prevent leaving traces. They slid down the steel rope. After landing, Fang Qisheng pulled the flying tiger's claw, put it back in the bag, and followed Nie Qiu all the way. Following Huang Sheng's footsteps, he walked forward.

They didn't walk for too long, and Chang Jinyu obviously had expected it, and had long been leisurely sitting cross-legged on a rock not far away, waiting for each other.

Fang Qisheng called out "Master" respectfully, and secretly looked at Chang Jinyu.

This person is really calm, no matter where he is, he can get along well. Words like decadent, listless, and unkempt seem to be unsuitable for him, not to mention that there is a stream in this place for drinking or bathing. No problem.

He knew that Chang Jinyu was counting time.

Today is the full moon and the Kunlun Cave is open. I don't know how many full moons Chang Jinyu has waited for. He was not surprised to see them coming.

Huang Sheng was not by Chang Jinyu's side, he was nowhere to be seen, and he didn't know where he had gone. Fang Qisheng waited for Chang Jinyu to respond, and asked, "Huang Sheng should have come down to look for you first." , why is there no sign of him now?"

"He's idle too, so I'll tell him to walk around to relax and get acquainted with this place." Chang Jinyu caught a glimpse of Fang Qisheng's expression and said with a smile, "If there is anything else in this place, I would have explored it a long time ago. Come out, is it still your turn?"

After Chang Jinyu finished speaking, he naturally put his gaze on Nie Qiu and asked, "Who is this?"

While Fang Qisheng was talking with Chang Jinyu, Nie Qiu was also quietly observing Chang Jinyu.

In fact, his appearance is not quite similar to Chang Deng's. Chang Deng is of pure blood from the Western Regions, while Chang Jinyu's mother is from the Central Plains, so there are still differences between his eyebrows and facial expressions, but for some reason, maybe It's the similarities in the flowing blood, and Chang Jinyu's occasional expressions still make Nie Qiu feel dazed for a while, as if he saw his master again.

When Chang Jinyu brought the topic to Nie Qiu, Nie Qiu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't notice the gloomy flash in Chang Jinyu's eyes - he was just about to answer, this former leader who is uncertain But he moved suddenly. He deliberately slowed down, jumped off the smooth stone, walked over a few steps, palm up, raised his hand to Nie Qiu, and said, "Your knife is very familiar."

Chang Jinyu recognized Nie Qiu from the first moment he saw him. At that time, Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng were far away, and he hadn't noticed his gaze. Naturally, he didn't know that he pressed his forehead sullenly, After laughing silently for a while, he gradually collected his thoughts.

What a ridiculous coincidence, Chang Jinyu thought, the world hates the injustice of fate, but he finds this interesting.

The knife is the frosted knife, and the people are the afterimages in the bamboo forest. The flames that burned through the sky in the past were annihilated, and now they reappeared one by one. Chang Jinyu suddenly remembered that the wolf tooth hanging around his neck was not his, but It was a regular lamp, and he almost forgot it after wearing it for so long.

This is what his little apprentice called "the newly appointed Right Protector".The more he thought about it, the more he found it funny. Chang Deng couldn't reconcile with him until his death. The rare peace at that time ended with the last breath, but Chang Deng never mentioned the Demon Cult to him, nor did he mention the thing that made them part ways. He didn't mention this matter because he didn't want to chatter with Chang Jinyu at the last moment.

Chang Deng still doesn't understand, he may have tried to understand, no matter how the process is, it all ended in failure.

But in the end, you never forget, worry about, take away your frost and drinking fire, take away your cold hatred and hot anger, your good apprentice, ignore your teachings, and set foot on another completely different path A different path has become the new right protector of the Demon Cult. Chang Jinyu held back a smile and thought, wondering if Chang Deng would be so angry to please him after hearing about it.

Everything that happened in the bamboo forest, the night of fire, only he and An Pi knew, so he had no scruples.

In the eyes of this white-clothed swordsman, apart from his master's half-brother, and the identity of the former leader of the Devil's Cult, there is no other superfluous thing. Chang Jinyu is very sure that An Pi is Never tell him about that.

He would be dazed when he looked at himself - Chang Jinyu thought, he never knew how similar he was to Chang Deng.

In this room, after Chang Jinyu finished asking with a smile, Nie Qiu came to his senses, saluted, pulled out the knife with his backhand, handed it to him, and said a little cautiously, "This knife was left to me by my master before his death. The name is Hanshuang, I didn't expect the seniors to remember it."

Chang Jinyu pressed the handle of the knife with his wrist, and pushed the Hanshuang knife back, "Didn't your master teach you not to give the weapon to others?"

"Yes, I'm sorry." Nie Qiu put the knife back into its sheath, smiled lightly, and said, "Nie Qiu, junior, I'm really excited to see senior."

Chang Jinyu has already thought about what to say next, it is nothing more than, I am your master's half-brother, how has your master been in the past few years, he has passed away for many years, where is the grave, I will definitely visit in the future , how old are you, where are you from, why did you suddenly think of joining the Demon Cult after you left Shenyun Pavilion... He felt that there was nowhere to go for this matter, and it took no effort to get it, Chang Deng's apprentice, the idol His appearance, the new right protector of the Demon Sect, all point to the same person.

When he saw the statue before, he still thought that if Chang Deng's apprentice survived, he would probably look like this.

Chang Jinyu has always been not too worried about his big apprentice. Fang Qisheng has always been very assertive, independent, and has a good foundation. He is not lazy like Huang Sheng, hardworking, and no matter what happens, it is impossible for him to suffer. .

As a result, he was full of words, not a single word was used, and Fang Qisheng twisted them into balls and stuffed them back into his mouth.

"Although it was a bit sudden," Fang Qisheng didn't speak for a long time, and his voice was very flat at this time, "but I married him."

Chang Jinyu: "Huh?"
