Three Wonders of Huashan

Chapter 205 The Darkness Under the Lights

At dusk, heavy snow fell on Mount Hua.A pavilion was built on the mountainside of Yunv Peak, where Yuan Ying likes to sit and rest in her spare time.

It's just that she has a lot of preoccupations today, but she has no intention of admiring the scenery.The girl rested her chin, looked at Yuan Xiong who was already a head taller than herself, and couldn't help but sighed.

"Can you use your brain when you usually do things, be silly, and let others see the joke, is it interesting?"

Yuan Xiong chuckled, "I don't care if others laugh at me, and I don't feel any pain when others beat me. Aren't you the one who uses your brain, I'm too lazy to do it."

In this case, Yuan Ying did not know how many times she had warned her, but Yuan Xiong just remained unmoved.Yuan Ying didn't bother to persuade her anymore, she just stared at Feng Xue in a daze.

Yuan Xiong thought that his sister would say more, but seeing Yuan Ying's sudden silence, he was not used to it.He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, and persuaded her in a soft voice: "Sister, I think you are just thinking too much. Now that we have learned martial arts well, have enough food, and can afford new clothes, you are still sealed by the emperor's old son." I lost a county head, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?"

Yuan Ying slapped Yuan Xiong's hand away, and said angrily: "You don't understand, don't bother me! I always feel terrified, as if I missed something..."

Yuan Xiong said: "You are worrying unnecessarily, the master's martial arts are world-class... Oh, I see, sister, are you thinking about the elder brother?"

Interrupted by Yuan Xiongyi, Yuan Ying was a little annoyed, "Who misses him? That wooden man deserves to be a bachelor for the rest of his life! He is a few years older than the master, look at him, and then look at the master..."

"Junior Sister Yuan..." Yuan Shoucheng's voice came from around the corner, and Yuan Ying quickly stopped talking.

Yuan Xiong said narrowly: "Yes, the master caught me by saying bad things about people behind my back. Hehe, I'd better take a step first, lest you, sister, take your anger out on me later because of the big brother's incomprehension..." Yuan Xiong's sly expression changed after he finished speaking, and he returned to his usual silly look.

When Yuan Ying heard that she was going to fight, Yuan Xiong had already oiled the soles of his feet.As soon as he left, Yuan Shoucheng came to the pavilion.

"Junior Sister, why are you here? You asked Senior Brother to find it... Huh? It's so late, why is Junior Brother still running to the Jade Maiden Peak?"

Yuan Ying calmed down, "Let's leave him alone, senior brother, why are you looking for me?"

Speaking of business, Yuan Shoucheng immediately said seriously: "Junior Sister, for the past six months, the rivers and lakes have been turbulent, and even the mountains have not been peaceful. Right now, Master seems to be about to move again, and he ordered us to assist Master...Senior brother just now Discussed with Junior Brother Lin for a long time, but to no avail, I was afraid of disappointing the expectations of the master. I remembered that my junior sister usually has an idea, so I specially came to my junior sister to discuss the details."

Yuan Ying curled her lips, and thought to herself: "I want to solve master's worries and problems. If you have any questions, why don't you ask master?"

Naturally, Yuan Ying would not show her youngest daughter's resentment.Throwing away the unhappiness that had been ignored, he said slowly:
"The master asked us to assist the uncle, it is not because he supervised... urged the uncle to make a decision at a critical moment."

Yuan Shoucheng asked in surprise, "Why did you come here?"

"Brother, the situation will only be worse than we imagined. It is easy to hide from the open, but hard to defend from the back. Now we don't even know who the enemy is. What do you think the chance of winning is?"

"But the master is invincible in the world, and there are many masters of the Five Sacred Mountains..."

People are like this, as they grow older and experience more, when they see people who were previously astonished as heavenly beings, they will always sigh "it's just that", and then feel lost.

Naturally, Yuan Ying would not look down on Yuan Shoucheng, on the contrary, she had a deep-rooted affection for him.There is a saying that there is a specialization in martial arts, and Yuan Ying may be just as good at learning martial arts, which is much worse than Yuan Xiong.But if she is more thoughtful and far-sighted, then her master is a scum in front of her, and maybe only that gloomy master can compete with her.

"Eldest brother, in this world, whoever has the highest martial arts skills has the final say, and the emperor will listen to the master..."

"Emperor...Emperor..." A flash of light flashed in Yuan Ying's mind, she grabbed Yuan Shoucheng's hand and said excitedly: "Brother, I know who is behind the scenes. Let's report to Master Ming first, and then I have to go Go down the mountain and ask for proof."

Yuan Shoucheng scratched his head, and said awkwardly: "Master, there is no need to go there. I just came from there. It is the master who asked me to come to you, and said that I should follow your arrangements. Now, this is the master. Ask me to give it to you."

Yuan Ying took the box that Yuan Shoucheng handed over, opened it, and found that it was Fang Ze's first-rank national protector's seal. She immediately clapped her hands and smiled, "It will be easy with this."

Yuan Shoucheng became more and more puzzled, "How is Junior Sister going to do it?"

Yuan Ying chuckled and said, "Master wants you to listen to my arrangement, so why don't you come down the mountain with me tomorrow and go up the mountain?"

Seeing Yuan Shoucheng stiffen his neck, he didn't talk to him.Yuan Ying explained with a smile: "Elder brother, I am only guessing about this matter. Rumors have spread all over the place recently. It turns out that we are just looking for the mastermind behind the scenes all over the world. If we think about it, it is dark under the lights. To put it bluntly, in today's world, if Without the imperial court's endorsement, who would dare to brush off the tiger's beard of the Five Sacred Sect easily, just borrowing the courage of others? What's more, judging by the current situation, it seems that even Shaolin and Wudang are tempted."

"How come? We have made great contributions to the emperor."

Yuan Ying laughed out loud, "It seems that senior brother has been busy reading the Four Books and Five Classics to prepare for the exam in recent years, so he won't be so high-skilled that he doesn't know the truth about the exhaustion of birds and the possession of good bows."

Yuan Shoucheng still refused to accept it, "You are just talking without proof."

"Yeah, that's why I have to go down the mountain!"

Yuan Shoucheng thought for a moment, then bowed his hands to Yuan Ying lonely, "Junior Sister has something to do, but please tell me, Senior Brother will definitely do his best."

Yuan Ying couldn't see Yuan Shoucheng being wronged at all, and immediately comforted him: "It's just for the Five Sacred Mountains faction. Junior sister can't be a big gift from senior brother. At most, I won't laugh at you anymore..."

Yuan Shoucheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and then wanted to reach out and touch Yuan Ying's head.He just stretched out his hand halfway, looked at Yuan Ying's blushing face with his head up, then retracted his hand in embarrassment, and waved it in the air again and again: "Brother, is he a person who only cares about two jokes. He just thinks about his own body. As a senior brother, I can't share my worries for my master, and I can't set an example for my juniors and sisters, so I feel a little discouraged for a while."

Yuan Ying was secretly annoyed, "What a coward! The opportunity is right in front of you, and you can grasp it by taking a step forward, but you just backed down. Do you really want me to follow Master Qu's example and post it regardless?"

She was a little upset and a little disappointed.Finally turned into a sigh.

The wind and snow subsided, and it was getting late.The two went down the mountain together.The mountain road is so narrow that two people cannot stand side by side.

Yuan Shoucheng led the way first, and Yuan Ying followed closely behind, but she stumbled and always seemed a little absent-minded, which caused Yuan Shoucheng to look back frequently.

"Junior Sister, be careful..."

Here is a steep slope, Yuan Shoucheng saw that Yuan Ying's thoughts were not on his side, and just as he turned his head to remind him, his mouth was blocked by two cold soft lips.

Yuan Shoucheng had never seen such a battle before, his white face turned red in an instant, and he pushed Yuan Ying far away without knowing what to do.

"Oh..." Yuan Ying let out a cry of pain.This time she was really injured, her left foot hit the rock and was swollen very high.

Even though Yuan Shoucheng apologized and bowed, Yuan Ying just sobbed in a low voice. This silent accusation really made people feel sad and cry when they saw it.It only took a moment for Yuan Shoucheng to sweat profusely.

The moon climbed into the sky, and Yuan Shoucheng walked slowly forward with Yuan Ying on his back.Under the reflection of the moonlight, the corners of Yuan Ying's mouth turned up, her eyes narrowed like two crescent moons.
