The Lord who use immortals as food

Guanliu Tower.

The sun was already a little high, but the mist was still lingering around the lake and forest. The martial arts competition had ended long ago, and the people on the long street were dispersed. In the morning, there was no one in the building.

The four of them set up a small table on the wind terrace, Pei Ye, Yang Yan, Zhang Junxue, and Zhang Dingyun.

"Fang Jidao is purely lustful and has no righteousness. He didn't stay even a quarter of an hour after Master Qi left." Zhang Dingyun said, "They are still three good people, with good kung fu, high prospects, and love and righteousness."

Hearing that Pei Ye was leaving, the little fat man immediately held a farewell banquet. Unfortunately, Yang Yan and Zhang Junxue were two boring gourds. Pei Ye seemed to have his mouth sealed today. He sighed, but the atmosphere was still silent.

In the end, Yang Yan exchanged a few awkward words with him. After a while, the two of them had finished their meals and sat on the stage together, enjoying the wind and looking at the Liulin Lake downstairs. The Moon-Zhuo Tower could be seen in the distance at the other end of the lake.

"Jun Xue, what are your plans next?" Pei Ye put the porcelain bottle of wine on his knees, looked out over the fence, and spoke for the first time after being silent for a long time.

"I will continue to compete in martial arts competitions in Bowang." Zhang Junxue said in a dull voice, "Since you have left the Winter Competition, I should have some opportunities. After qualifying, I will go to Shenjing to participate in the Shenjing martial arts competition next summer, and then hold the Shenjing martial arts competition. The results of the Beijing Martial Arts Examination. Go and apprentice at Bailu Palace."

The woman said everything she was thinking in one breath.

Pei Ye nodded and said softly: "Remember to heal your injuries before practicing. Don't worry and leave the root of the disease."

"That's almost it. Really."

".Next summer, I'll be waiting for you in Shenjing."

"good."

"Um."

".Pei Ye."

"Um?"

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"."

Zhang Dingyun's voice came from the other side: "We even caught up with the opera singer."

Under the Linfeng Stage, the largest theater in Bowang came here to sing the autumn opera. Pei Ye could not hear the babbling very clearly, but the little fat man was obviously a regular visitor and started humming along with the tune.

After humming for a while, he stretched his neck and said, "By the way, Pei Ye, Yang Yan said he won't go to Tianshan anymore. Is it true?"

"real."

"Brother Yang, you are really ambitious."

".Okay."

Zhang Dingyun gave him a thumbs up.

"What about you, do you have any plans later?" Pei Ye looked at the little fat man.

"What plans do I have?" Zhang Dingyun said with a smile, "You are all gone, I will continue to enjoy my spring flowers and autumn moon alone. There will be more heroes at the Wushu Poetry Festival next year."

The autumn wind blew the skirts of their clothes, and several people chatted one after another, saying some words before parting. Zhang Dingyun really couldn't see any sadness of separation on his face. He leaned aside with a drink and hummed softly.

It is true that Pei Ye had never heard of opera, but perhaps Xiangzhou's experience awakened his hobby, or maybe he was in a low mood and easily caught his ears, so he tilted his head and asked, "What kind of opera is this?"

Just as Zhang Dingyun was about to speak, a girl's voice came from the door: ""The Pear Blossom Mistake" is a local play in Bowang."

Pei Ye looked back and saw Li Mingqing standing at the door, her skirt hanging down and her hair tied up, looking somewhat demure.

"It's almost like "A Girl's Dream". It's about a girl who is good at brewing pear blossom wine. She falls in love with her sweetheart when they meet. But when the war breaks out and her sweetheart joins the army, the girl brews a pot of pear blossom wine every year and waits for him." Li Mingqing walked in with her sword in hand, pursed her lips and smiled, "But I won't wait any longer."

After listening to it this way, the vague lyrics below became clearer indeed, "From the spring flowers to the window to the white snow pavement."

"Yes! We have heard about it since we were young." Zhang Dingyun smiled, "Young Master is really busy, and he didn't come until after the show was over."

"You guys aren't leaving. I'm not coming. I'm just sending you Pei Ye." Li Mingqing smiled, and then she met the young man's eyes pretending to be natural.

Pei Ye avoided it and handed her an untouched bottle of wine: "You will support Cuiyu alone from now on. If you offend anyone, you must have someone with high cultivation by your side."

"Well, Ming Sword Master told me that since she can't go to Shenjing, she wrote a letter of recommendation to Shaolong and recommended me as Shaolong swordsman, but she will not go to Fucheng to learn swordsmanship through correspondence."

".That would be much less effective."

"Originally, I don't have much time." The girl smiled, "In this way, I can learn a lot of powerful swordsmanship. Sword Master Ming said that I am 'Jade', only a little worse than you."

"Um."

The atmosphere calmed down. Pei Ye turned her head and looked outside the fence to prevent the corner of her cyan skirt from entering her field of vision. She raised her head and glanced at the sky: "It's almost time."

Several people stood up one after another.

Guanliu Tower stands in the southeast of Bowang City. When walking through the long street and arriving at the south gate, several people were lagging behind. Only the girl followed closely and quietly.

Pei Ye stood firm.

Turning back, he switched his sword in his hand and said, "Master Wu told me about the five taels of heart amber. If you have any news, just send me a message."

"Well, Governor Yu went to Xiangzhou to buy this thing. It must be useful. I have been checking the registration records from twenty years ago in the past two days, and I should be able to find something along this line."

"Well, I asked Miss Ming to see if there are more small jade swords."

"Master Ming Sword has already given me one."

"Oh" Pei Ye was quiet for a moment, "then, take care."

"." Li Mingqing lowered her head, "You also need to take care."

Pei Ye nodded, turned around and left the city gate.

In the distance outside the south gate, a woman in white stands under a tall willow tree, with a jade-black kitten lying on her shoulders. She is flanked by two tall and handsome horses, with their luggage already packed on the horses.

Pei Ye walked towards her, nodded and took the reins. When she turned back, she saw that her friends had become several figures standing side by side. Their cyan dresses were very eye-catching among them.

Pei Ye was quiet for a moment, then raised his arm and waved to them again.

————

Pei Ye stood on his horse in a daze, and the scenery quickly retreated on both sides of his field of vision.

After galloping for quite some time, he suddenly came back to his senses and turned his head. The rhythm of the horses' hooves around him was like rain. The woman was riding on the horse, holding the reins in front of her with a sword in front of her. Her pale white clothes were flying like clouds falling into the world.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ming, did I slow you down?"

"No, just a day or two, nothing urgent."

"Wuhejian hopes that we go later." Pei Ye explained, "He sent a letter to the senior management of Kongtong first, asking them to loosen the outside and tighten the inside. It will also delay your two-day trip to ask the sword."

"It's okay. In fact, I like to walk slowly like this."

"Um?"

"I rarely ride a horse, and I don't often walk down there." They walked into a dense forest, and the woman looked at the cold branches and leaves beside her that had been washed green by the rain. Some of them were wiped off her clothes, only to Leaving behind the moist leaf fragrance, "The time of World Questioning Sword is indeed too rushed. Flying from one place to another, all you can see is the sky and clouds, which is actually very boring."

Pei Ye didn't expect the word "boring" to come out of the woman's mouth, but he really had never gotten along with the woman before, so he just nodded in confusion.

The two continued to gallop quietly.

It was gradually past noon, and the warm autumn sun was shining down. Ming Qitian suddenly said: "Have you finished reading "Introduction"?"

".I finished reading Miss Ming."

"Well, once you understand the complete description of Kendo in the world, you will have support when you build your own sword ladder."

"What is a 'sword ladder'?"

"Yunlang Mountain's statement. Just as the name suggests."

".oh."

The woman's voice was as light as water: "I remember when I first taught you to learn swordsmanship, I asked you what kind of swords you had learned - now I ask you the same question again?"

". "Open Door Sword" and "Fuliu Sword"; "Jade Fei Sword·Feng Yao Chapter" and "Jade Fei Sword·Yellow Jade" half chapter; "Bengxue" two levels; "Flying Geese on a Snowy Night" two styles. Nothing else, Miss Ming."

"Well, show them to me one by one in a while."

"Um."

"What sword are you going to learn next?"

""Jade Fei Sword". The master said that the intersection of the two jade and jade veins at the top is a sword called "Fei Yuxian". I may have found some beginnings." Pei Ye was stunned for a while, " I can barely see the road ahead clearly, so if I study hard on swordsmanship, I should put it first."

"Yes." The woman nodded slightly, "We will comb it first during the break."

"Also, just now Li Mingqing handed me a sword scripture." Pei Ye took out the book with deep light that had not been put away before. The woman turned her head and looked at it, and saw five ancient characters left on it. ——The Immortal in the Deep Land.

"This is the incomplete Yijian of the sect. Ping. He said that no one in the mountain sect can learn it for the time being. He is worried that the meaning will be lost after copying it, so he asked me to take it and learn it first." Pei Ye lowered his head and glanced twice, "I will try to do this as early as possible. Learned. But it is lacking."

Ming Qitian turned her head and took a second look: "Can you show it to me later?"

"Ah, of course. Then, "Flying Geese on a Snowy Night". I can't see the third form for the time being, so it probably won't work."

"Talk about it."

". Very clean." Pei Ye was silent for a long time, then looked at the sky and whispered, "Transparent, quiet, and vast. It's like carrying Gu Meng through a thin layer of ice. Below is the cold and clear still water, and so am I. Carved from fine ice jade, skin, hair, bones and blood, without any obstruction or shadow, everything is transparent to this world."

".A beautiful sword intention."

"Yes." Pei Ye smiled slightly for the first time, "But I can't see the way in."

The woman turned her head and glanced at him lightly.

Yes, the boy is almost its opposite now, heavy, shadowy, rioting, and suffocating. In fact, she went to look for Li Mingqing in the morning because she wanted to mention it to the girl. Can she not mention the separation with him for the time being? After all, the imperial edict Watching with eager eyes. But when he realized it was over, he stopped talking.

What's more, the root cause is to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. Now that the two of them can have a common state of mind, it is better than being tied to each other.

"Also, "Bengxue"." Pei Ye continued in a low voice, "This sword is very, very strong, but it doesn't look like an orthodox sword. I will learn it when I have time. That's all."

"So which subject do you like to study the most?"

".like the most?"

"Yes. I remember when we first met, weren't you obsessed with the [Cloud Sky Covering Eyes and Losing Feathers] that you just learned? You got up from the recliner in the middle of the night and practiced it endlessly."

Pei Ye remembered that first meeting, lowered her head and forced a smile: "Ms. Ming is laughing."

"You're not laughing." The woman looked at him softly, "But now, why are you 'able to learn', 'eager to learn', and 'learned to be useful'?"

"."

"Which one you like, we will use it to build your sword ladder." The woman turned back with a calm voice, "Of course, if you insist on going for the 'most useful', that's okay."

"I like it." Pei Ye was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know when it started. This was a somewhat unfamiliar question. "I'll think about it again, Miss Ming."

Ming Qitian nodded: "Don't worry, you are very talented, and you have shown it in the past month. My point of teaching you the way of swordsmanship is just to 'teach the law' and 'show the way'. What else are you learning now?" I will look after the sword for you so that you can learn faster."

"Hmm." Pei Ye responded with some confusion.

We ran quietly until the sky began to darken and the sun turned a little to the west.

They walked out of the forest path and passed many ups and downs. When they looked back, they could no longer see the shadow of Bowang City. It was in this flat space after emerging from the forest that a distant mountain shadow hidden in mist and deep green appeared in the field of vision.

Standing under the skyline, hidden in the dim light, it stood motionless following the horses of the travelers.

It is very tall and deep, but there are few rocks and steep peaks and the green color is very strong, so it does not have a sense of majesty. Instead, it is deep and vast, covered with a layer of mist, which adds to the fairyland.

Pei Ye was stunned for a while before he realized what it was.

Legend has it that the fog in Yilan Mountain shrouds like a ribbon all year round. It is said that hermits like feathered people once lived there. It is said that the kingfisher inside is light and free, and its feathers are as beautiful as heaven. Pei Ye looked at it quietly and suddenly remembered it inexplicably. , he has actually never entered this misty mountain.

If we walk a little further, we should be close to Xiangzhou before dark.

————

In Bowang City, on the Guanliu Tower, the remaining four people also finished their drinking and talking.

With the young man leaving, Zhang Junxue will return to Xu Valley, Li Mingqing will also return to Yilan Mountain to resettle the old man, and Yang Yan has received the silver reward from Wubi and is also preparing to buy clothes.

The four of them toasted again and said goodbye. Zhang Dingyun closed his fan and left first. Zhang Junxue also went downstairs and left. Li Minqing was still leaning on the stage with the bottle in hand, showing no intention of moving.

Yang Yan stood up hesitantly and looked at the girl.

Li Mingqing turned around: "What's wrong?"

"Thank you for saving me in the building that day. I never had a chance to repay you. I will keep it in mind in the future." Yang Yan raised his glass again.

"You're so polite with a little effort." Li Mingqing smiled, raised the bottle and took a sip, "We are all friends."

"." Yang Yan hesitated again, "Well, let me ask you something."

"What?"

"That's it." Yang Yan was a little curious and a little embarrassed, "I saw you and Pei Ye at the door yesterday morning. I had already discovered that you liked him. Now you two"

".Are we together?"

"."

"Um?"

Li Mingqing suddenly burst out laughing, overjoyed: "Yeah, you found out a long time ago and Pei Ye told me."

"Isn't that right?!"

"No." The girl pursed her lips and laughed softly.

She held the white porcelain wine bottle and turned her head to look at the darkening lake. The evening breeze blew the soft hair across her cheeks.

The troupe below has been singing all day long, and now another round of singing has finally come to an end.

"Gathering is a matter of fate and separation is a matter of letting go."
