That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 48

Sunshine fell on Xu Beiyou who had turned into an ice sculpture, mixed with blood, crystal clear. Under this layer of bloody brilliance, Xu Beiyou's face was calm and calm, everything was lifelike, exuding a unique and cruel beauty .

Zhiyun, who was also drenched in blood, dripped down in a line, covering his mouth with both hands, not daring to cry, for fear that if he cried, Xu Beiyou would really not be able to come back.

Gongsun Zhongmou walked slowly in front of the solid ice, he was silent for a while, and said: "I can't die, my apprentice's life is in my hands, no one can take it away."

While speaking, Gongsun Zhongmou raised his right hand, his index finger and middle finger merged into a sword finger, and said slowly: "This old man has practiced swordsmanship for eighty years. If he can kill people, he can also save people."

With Gongsun Zhongmou's light touch, a layer of solid ice was cut off by the sharp sword energy, without hurting the inside.You must know that Xu Beiyou has already merged with the solid ice, and if he is not careful, he and the ice will be shattered into debris all over the ground. Since Gongsun Zhongmou dared to make a move, he has full confidence.

Gongsun Zhongmou's sword fingers moved together, and ice chips flew. This is clearly a set of extremely brilliant swordsmanship. It seems to be open and closed, but it also reveals caution.

It took more than half an hour, all the ice on Xu Beiyou's body was removed, Gongsun Zhongmou gave Xu Beiyou another breath of sword energy, and guided the energy in his body for him, and after another hour, the sword pointed on Xu Beiyou's body. Bai, even someone as advanced as Gongsun Zhongmou's face turned slightly pale. It wasn't until Xu Beiyou's face became normal and his pallor faded away that he breathed a sigh of relief, then threw his apprentice into Zhiyun's arms, and said softly: "Okay, he will wake up in about half an hour, just watch."

Zhiyun, whose heart has finally landed safely, sat on the ground, hugged Xu Beiyou, wiped away his tears, and smiled.

It's fine.

Gongsun Zhongmou put away his two swords, he didn't look at all like the second most wanted devil in Town Demon Hall's list, and even less like the master of Nine Heavens Sword Immortal Sword Sect, he began to dispose of corpses all over the ground like a diligent old farmer Leave this place to Xu Beiyou and Zhiyun.

Zhiyun looked at Xu Beiyou who was sleeping peacefully, hesitated for a moment, and cautiously stretched out his hand, wanting to caress the face leaning on his arms, but the moment his fingertips touched the slightly cold skin, it was not long after the cardamom age Like a frightened deer, the young girl quickly withdrew her hand, her face flushed, and she lowered her head quickly, as if Xu Beiyou would wake up immediately.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, if you don't succeed the first time, it will be difficult to have the courage to act the second time. Zhiyun didn't dare to reach out again, but started to look at Xu Beiyou up close for the first time. When she saw the thick calluses between Xu Beiyou's fingers, As well as the inconspicuous and small scars on her wrist and forearm, she subconsciously looked at her hands.

A pair of hands with ten fingers that do not touch the spring water.

In her previous life, she has always lived in the Chonglong Temple, especially fortunately being sheltered by the old temple master, how can she experience the hardships of the bottom world and the dangers of the world?For her, being reprimanded by her master and causing her bird to fly away was a big deal, and she felt uncomfortable for several days in a row.And the destruction of Chonglong Temple by the Dark Guard Mansion is no less than the collapse of the sky.

But generally speaking, she is lucky, all the people in Chonglongguan died, only she survived, and the time before that was all spring.

More than half an hour later, Xu Beiyou woke up in a daze, and found himself leaning against a soft and warm place. He seemed to have just slept, a little cold, but also a kind of unspeakable comfort, as if the energy in his body was growing stronger. More than one copy, although there is still some distance from the second-rank realm, but it is no longer comparable to the ordinary third-rank martial arts.

He rubbed subconsciously.

Zhiyun, who had just grown up, was red all of a sudden to the back of the ears, and then from the ears to the neck, and the crystal skin on his face was almost dripping water.

Xu Beiyou, who was slowly and completely waking up, finally sensed that something was wrong, sat up abruptly, and looked back to see Zhiyun who was bowing his head, feeling extremely embarrassed.

For a while, the ignorant little boy and girl fell into an awkward silence that they didn't know how to deal with.

But no matter how embarrassing it is, this moment is destined to leave a strong mark in the memory of the two of them. If 20 years old is the spring of life, then the emotional concerns at this time are the most enthusiastic and delicate flowers in spring. Flawless.

There is no scheming in the prime of life, no interests and interests involved in the twilight years, but only the purest and sincere emotions of young people.

Gongsun Zhongmou, who was turning the last corpse into powder and dust in the distance, smiled slightly, straightened up, and sighed softly: "Young people don't know how to feel sad, go up to the next floor, and then go up to the next floor."

He was indeed a young man who didn't know how to feel sad. Xu Beiyou said something, and finally Zhiyun's face was no longer so red. Instead, he reached out and patted Xu Beiyou for the first time. He couldn't hide his smile either.

The already pale-haired Gongsun Zhongmou looked at this scene with sad eyes.

In the sadness, there is loneliness, but also nostalgia and recall.

In that year, the battle between Daomen and Jianzong was imminent. At this critical juncture, the elder of Jianzong, Xiao Shen, betrayed Jianzong, secretly joined his nephew Xiao Yu, and at the same time became the master of Jianfeng of Daomen.

That was the year that Xiao Shen went on a killing spree on the Lotus Peak, slaughtering the unsuspecting Sword Qi Lingkong Hall with his own hands.

The entire Sword Qi Lingkong Hall was almost slaughtered, only Gongsun Zhongmou and the woman escaped with their lives.

Afterwards, it was even worse. When the news came that Master Shangguan Xianchen was killed by Tianzhu, Jianzong became shaky almost overnight. Then Jianzong and the faction of the White Lotus Sect were defeated. The victory of the Buddhist faction was imminent, and the crumbling Jianzong finally collapsed, and the Taoist sect began to chase and kill the remnants of the Jianzong.

The two can only flee to the end of the world together.

The world only knows that the two parted ways in the end, and even died of old age without seeing each other, but they don't know that the two have also been in love with each other in the dilemma of life and death again and again.

At that time, Gongsun Zhongmou was not as invincible as he is today, and his cultivation level was still low. Under the pursuit of the Demon Suppressing Palace, he could not be said to be in constant panic, but he was also in a state of distress, even precarious.

That is, at the most difficult time, two people who already had a marriage contract became an official husband and wife.

There are no six ceremonies, no high hall, no relatives and friends, no sedan chair, not even a wedding dress, only two people, two swords, two wedding candles and two jugs of dirty wine, with heaven and earth as evidence, two hairs intertwined.

That was the summer in Gongsun Zhongmou's life, a summer with scorching sun and violent wind and rain.

As for why they are strangers, it is actually very simple. After 20 years, the woman is tired and does not want to continue running, and he has no way to give her peace of mind. It's logical to stop here.

After all, they are no match for forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes.

Gongsun Zhongmou remembered the scene when they parted at the beginning, the two of them didn't say a word at that time, they just turned around decisively.Thinking about it now, although it is sometimes due to the situation, why is it not young and vigorous?
I am old and old, and my evening scene is bleak, have you ever regretted it?

There is a wind blowing, which has already brought out a bit of coolness in early autumn.

Gongsun Zhongmou looked at the young couple again, and sighed, "I'm old enough to know what it's like to be sad, and I want to say nothing, but I say it's been a cool autumn."
