Looking at the sword in the cold light

White clouds converge on the clear valley, and the peaks line the sky; the Qiqi is shaped like a stone gate, and there is no mist of censer smoke.

Yandu has been hidden in Wulin for a long time. It is located in a rugged mountain, surrounded by clouds and fog all day long. The gorgeous buildings and towering palace walls look hazy in the fog, like looking at flowers in the fog.Yandu is mysterious and has a dark color, few guests can visit it, but this does not affect its status in the martial arts world.Speaking of its mystery and weirdness, the reason is that the top leader of Yandu, the grand master of Yandu is an eunuch, even his apprentices, right-hand assistants, and capable disciples are all eunuchs, and some people in the world jokingly call it "the capital of eunuchs" .

The great master of Yandu created and led Yandu only a short ten years ago, but his strength is extraordinary. In addition, the scenery is peculiar.

Ever since the great master of Yandu, Gu Ling, passed away and practiced in seclusion, Yandu has been closed since then and no longer interferes in martial arts affairs, and the internal and external affairs of Yandu are all taken care of by his disciple Nishinomiya Diaoying.

In a room, the doors and windows are closed, and there is no sound. It is impossible to distinguish day from day in the room, and everything is dark, except for a faint blue light in the center of the room.This ray of light was emitted from Gu Ling Siyan who was meditating, it was as gentle as water, reflecting his face as warm as jade, with his eyes closed, even in a quiet room, he couldn't detect a trace of his breathing.The faint blue light floated slowly, indescribably soft and ambiguous.

Guling Shiyan came from the palace back then to practice Ximai Shuangjuan, and now he has been practicing behind closed doors for the past two years to practice it. This kung fu is surprisingly powerful in healing injuries. No matter how serious the injury is, he can quickly recover on his own. If Refining to the highest level, (when not encountering a fatal blow) can be said to be immortal.

The light around him dimmed, Guling Shiyan slowly opened his eyes, and with a wave of his white gauze sleeves, the oil lamp on the short table not far in front of him immediately lit up.The bean-sized light illuminated the rectangular low table, on which there was an exquisitely crafted light blue palace hat and a dark sword.He held up his hat, closed his eyes slightly, his face reflected the ambiguous color of candlelight, his slender eyebrows and beautiful eyelashes showed an indescribable charm.He put on the hat, then half-opened his eyes, his eyes were as calm as water, he slightly bent his middle finger, and stroked the pitch-black sword with his palm up, obviously he cherished this sword very much.Guling Siyan moved his lips, and his voice was slightly thinner and soft: "Well, it's time to go out."

Guling Shiyan looked indifferent, picked up the sword in his right hand, held it behind his back, and walked out slowly. The soft and hazy light made his back look slender and slender, and even had a sense of weakness.This light blue color gradually disappeared in the light of Dou Da.

Where is the black yarn, don't wear black and white, clean and dirty, as the sage said, it is worth a cold look.Looking at the lonely shadow shining on the sword, it is generally cold. Going alone, the road is full of darkness.

"Lengchuang Gongming" is the place where Guling Shiyan managed all the big and small things in Yandu before retreating. If subordinates or apprentices have anything to do, they will usually report to Guling Shiyan at "Lengchuang Gongming". "Lengchuang Gongming" is located at the highest peak of Yandu, like a courtyard, with flowers, trees and beautiful scenery.In the middle of the courtyard is an elegant hut. Its paper door as high as one person is closed tightly. No one will open it except Guling Shiyan. There is an exclusive seat for Guling Shiyan.Even though Guling Shiyan is inside, the paper door of the hut is closed most of the time. Many guests who come to Yandu have never been able to meet Guling Shiyan. silhouette.There are two seats in front of the hut, the left one is reserved for the guests, and the right one is the exclusive seat of the great apprentice Xigong Diaoying. Of course, if Gu Ling Shiyan came out to entertain the guests, he would sit there.

The night was dark, and the sky was dark. The great disciple Xigong Diaoying stood in front of the hut, looking at the closed paper door. There was no light inside, which meant that Shizun's ancient mausoleum was not inside. "Master told me a few days ago that he was going to leave the seclusion in two days, but he didn't say when." He murmured softly, thinking of the death of the ancient mausoleum of the master, he couldn't help but feel a smile on his face. smile.

Xigong Diaoying's voice was light and sweet, except that it was a little softer, but she was not twitchy at all, not quite like an eunuch.But he is an eunuch, Xigong is his name in Yandu Palace, his name is Diaoying, besides the position of Grand Master, Yandu has the largest number of palace characters, Xigong Diaoying has followed Yandu since he was three years old The great master Gu Ling Shiyan, when Gu Ling Shiyan gave him the palace ceremony and bestowed the palace character, he was so happy that he almost passed out.

An eunuch patrolling with a lantern walked up to Xigong Diaoying, bowed his body, and asked in an awkward eunuch voice: "Master Xigong, it's getting late, are you still not resting?"

The night wind was a bit cool, blowing Nishinomiya Diaoying's pure white robe and his bright yellow cloak, he said lightly, "I'll go back later, you go down first."

The eunuch responded in a low voice, and after walking not far, he heard the footsteps of two people coming this way.Xigong Diaoying turned around and saw that it was the eunuch leading a young man coming. The man had slightly curly snow-white long hair, and his noble and proud demeanor was gentle. His robe is embellished with ice-blue gemstones, and his gestures are extraordinary.This person is one of the four wonders. The owner of the ice building, also known as the ice king, has a relationship with the dead smoke of the ancient tomb.

The eunuch brought him to Xigong Diaoying, and bowed slightly.Xigong Diaoying waved his hand, and the eunuch left, leaving him and the Bing King Xuan Ming, leading the Bing King Xuan Ming to the seat reserved for guests on the left, and respectfully said: "The Bing King is here, please sit down."

"Well, it's really abrupt for my king to come to visit so late." Xuanming said politely, watching Nishinomiya Diaoying sit down in an elegant posture opposite him, with her body slightly leaning against the back of the chair, looking a little enchanting and feminine. "I hope Nishinomiya doesn't mind."

"The King of Bing is a distinguished guest, so Diaoying naturally wants to entertain him well." Xigong Diaoying also said politely, of course he knew what Xuanming clan was here for. Xuanming's family is like a squatting spot, and often comes to see the movement of the ancient mausoleum.

Knowing that the ancient mausoleum Shi Yan was about to leave the customs, naturally many people came to wait, but they were not as frequent as Xuan Ming's, and they came in person every time.Xuanming was so looking forward to Guling Shiyan's exit, and looking at his attitude towards his master Guling Shiyan, Nishigong Diaoying could guess that, as an apprentice, he never pointed out or mentioned it. Mrs. Xuanming came here just to entertain, a cup of tea, and a few polite words, and Mrs. Xuanming just came to see if the ancient mausoleum passed away, and left within a few minutes after sitting down.

Xuanming glanced at the small hut next to him, there were no candles in it, it seemed that the ancient mausoleum dead smoke still hadn't left the customs, but he felt that the day when the ancient mausoleum passed away was not far away, thinking of seeing him again As the ancient mausoleum passed away, his mood could not help but fluctuate.He expressed his heart to Guling Shiyan a few years ago. It can be said that he has been chasing him for several years. It took two years for the smoke retreat, but he still felt that his intentions remained the same, but after waiting for several years, the other party did not give a clear reply, which made Xuanming feel confused.

Maybe Guling Shiyan didn't like him at all, otherwise why didn't he accept him for so many years, or didn't want to embarrass him too much?Xuanming sighed in his heart, he is an upright gentleman, and he is upright, if the other party doesn't like him, why should he pester him, if he thinks that, he will probably let him go.

"Since the Ice King is here, why don't you have a cup of tea first?" The clever Nishinomiya Diaoying noticed that Xuanming's mood was a bit depressed, and he seemed to want to leave. He smiled, and an eunuch brought a cup of tea. The dark blue porcelain cup has a dark blue lid, and a wisp of white smoke emerges from the small hole in the lid. "This is the fifth time for Diaoying and Bingwang to drink concentric tea. It is an honor for Diaoying to entertain Bingwang. Bingwang cares so much about Master, Diaoying thinks Master will know. Bingwang, you are a guest , please have some tea first."

The tea that Yandu entertains guests is concentric tea, and the host and guest each take a sip of a cup of tea to express their suspicion and concentricity.Xuanming felt a little inappropriate about this statement at first, he didn't want to drink the same cup of tea with the person that Guling Shiyan thought, but Yandu followed the custom of hospitality.

"Thank you Xigong for your hospitality." Xuanming looked at the teacup brought over by the eunuch next to him, held it in his hand, felt a faint fragrance, and took a small sip.Put the lid on the cup, and said to Nishinomiya Diaoying: "Nishimiya, please." After the words fell, the teacup floated from his hand, and floated steadily towards Nishinomiya Diaoying on the opposite side.

The teacup was floating between the two of them, but a soft and lazy voice said: "Oh... I didn't expect that there would be a distinguished guest just after Gu Ling came out. Mmm - Gu Ling felt very warm in his heart."

The word "um" dragged on a little longer, and it turned two corners, bringing some differences in playfulness.With such an ecstatic eunuch voice, who else could there be except Guling Shiyan.

As soon as the words were finished, candles were lit up in the hut. No one knew when the dead smoke from the ancient mausoleum came, only that he came to "Lengchuang Gongming" quietly.On the paper door is a figure of a figure, so real, yet somewhat illusory.

Xuanmingshi and Xigong Diaoying's heart skipped a beat, neither of them noticed when Guling Shiyan came over.

The teacup floating between Xuanmingshi and Xigong Diaoying suddenly changed direction, turned towards the hut and floated away, the figure reflected on the paper door moved, waved his sleeve, and the two paper doors automatically pushed open to both sides, Finally, I can see the people inside clearly.There is a low table in the hut, and the things on it are the same as before. There is a palace hat on the left, and the Kunwu Excalibur is placed horizontally in the middle. Green smoke is curling up from the small hole of the chimney, and the fragrance is wafting.Gu Ling Shiyan sat sideways on the left side of the short table. When he stretched out his hand, the teacup fell into his hand, and he took a small sip.

"Grand Master." Xuanming's low voice was very calm, with a hint of joy in it.Standing up, he turned to face Guling Shiyan, Guling Shiyan was still sitting inside, not too close to him, but he could see clearly.The person inside was sitting sideways, and he looked at the side of Guling Shiyan, and felt that this person was still the same as two years ago, and his appearance hadn't changed at all.

"Master, you have left the customs." Xigong Diaoying also faced the ancient mausoleum, bowed slightly, looked very respectful, and glanced at Xuanming. "The Ice King has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Well, I know it as a teacher. I am apprentice, and I have been in retreat for the teacher these days, and I have given you all the cigarettes to take care of. It is really hard for you. I know that the teacher will leave the seclusion recently, and you are waiting for the teacher in the cold window every day. Going out until late at night, I know your intentions as a teacher, as the night gets darker, you should go and rest first." Gu Ling Siyan looked at the two people opposite him, stayed on Xuanming for a while, then turned his gaze to Xigong Diaoying , His voice was so soft that he seemed to be floating, he didn't bite a word a little bit harder, and he seemed even more calm, as if he knew when the smoke was happening during the retreat.
