Chapter 10: Love and Hate End at Luoyan Mountain
On Luoyan Mountain, Yun Yao was sewing the ground herbs into Liu Zhuiyi's clothes. He had never done such a girl's work before, and he was in a hurry to sew it in a mess, but fortunately he managed to sew it in the end. Although the clothes were ugly, fortunately, when worn inside, outsiders could not see it.
Yun Yao helped Liu Zhuiyi put on her clothes and held her hand, waiting for it to warm up.
He looked at her sleeping face and couldn't help but sigh. Yun Yao didn't know that so many things would happen along the way. At the beginning, Yun Yao saw through that Liu Zhuiyi was a girl because when she threatened him, the softness of her chest was against his back. He had seen so many women, so he naturally knew that Liu Zhuiyi was a daughter.
He likes Liu Zhuiyi, even if Liu Zhuiyi scolds him, beats him and ignores him, he still likes her. Even if Yun Yao knows that Liu Zhuiyi wants to follow Bian Zhener for the rest of her life, he is willing to protect her.
This young girl was innocent and straightforward, but her heart was as soft as cotton, and Yun Yao really couldn't bear to see her suffer.
"Liu'er, can you please wake up soon? Look, no one has scolded me or hit me these days, and I feel uncomfortable." Yun Yao gently rubbed her hands and said to himself, "Oh, if only that stinky monk Bian Zhen'er was here, he would definitely wake you up soon. I don't know how much virtue that stinky monk has cultivated to accumulate so much blessings that you like him. And as for me, I have met so many women who like me, but in the end I actually fell in love with someone who doesn't like me. Liu'er, is it because I met you too late that I missed the fate between us?"
Yun Yao felt more and more disappointed as he finished speaking. In fact, he understood that this had nothing to do with the time of their meeting. He and Bian Zhen'er were two different people. Liu Zhuiyi didn't like him. She must have seen people like him in Ruyi Tower.
"Alas..." Yun Yao sighed, feeling extremely melancholy.
"It hurts..." Liu Zhuiyi uttered faintly on the bed, and Yun Yao quickly let go of her hand. Only then did he realize that he had unconsciously held Liu Zhuiyi's hand too tightly.
"Liu'er, are you awake?" Yun Yao quickly leaned over and asked, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
Liu Zhuiyi was still a little weak, but fortunately she was awake and able to talk to Yun Yao. She frowned slightly and said, "You're disturbing me with your mumbling."
Yun Yao finally let go of the worry in his heart. Liu Zhuiyi blamed him as soon as she woke up, but he was happier than anyone else. Yun Yao squatted down, his eyes moistened unconsciously, and he said softly: "Then I won't argue anymore. Are you hungry or cold? Tell me if you need anything, and I'll help you."
"I want to see the little monk. Is the little monk awake?" Liu Zhuiyi slowly stretched out his hand, held Yun Yao's fingers, and asked.
Yun Yao's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, saying, "He's awake and is doing well. He went down the mountain with Master Duan to investigate the haunted incident and will be back soon."
"Then tell me when he comes back..." Liu Zhuiyi said again.
Yun Yao swallowed all his worries and words about Liu Zhuiyi and said, "Okay, I'll tell you when he comes back."
A smile appeared on Liu Zhuiyi's pale face, and she said with relief: "Okay, then I'll sleep for a while and wait for him to come back." Before she finished speaking, Liu Zhuiyi closed her eyes and fell asleep. She was so tired that her body felt like it was not her own.
Yun Yao's eyes turned red. He took a breath, smiled, and continued to stay by Liu Zhuiyi's side.
Soon, there was a sudden commotion outside the village. Yun Yao found it strange and asked someone what happened. The person said that Master Duan and Bian Zhener had returned, and a girl who was accompanying them was injured.
Hearing this, Yun Yao hurried out. He also realized that Xun Yan had followed them down the mountain.
Yun Yao didn't know what Xun Yan was up to. Ever since he saw her strange behavior last time, he always felt that everything that happened was related to her. But Xun Yan hid too deeply, and he couldn't find any clues that she was worthy of suspicion.
Xun Yan was injured, but Yun Yao did not go up to visit her. He just took a look from outside and then returned to Liu Zhuiyi.
Maybe it was because it was too noisy outside, or because Bian Zhener had returned, Liu Zhuiyi, who had just fallen asleep, opened his eyes again with difficulty and shouted, "Yun Yao..."
"I'm here..." Yun Yao held Liu Zhuiyi's hand. Liu Zhuiyi wanted to get up and said, "Is the little monk back?"
"No." Yun Yao said unhappily.
"But I heard the sound." Liu Zhuiyi struggled to get up.
"You heard it and yet you ask me." Yun Yao was even more displeased.
Liu Zhuiyi twisted Yun Yao's hand and said, "Take me to see the little monk!"
"Little monk, you only have the little monk in your heart! Do you know that I am worried about you too?" Yun Yao just refused to take Liu Zhuiyi with him. He crossed his arms across his chest and ignored her awkwardly.
Liu Zhuiyi stretched out his hand and shook Yun Yao's arm, and hurriedly comforted him: "I know you are worried about me, so I am fine. Yun Yao... Master Yun..."
"No!" Yun Yao took Liu Zhuiyi's hand away, feeling more and more awkward. Liu Zhuiyi looked at his little appearance and found it funny. Yun Yao glared at her and said, "What are you laughing at!"
Liu Zhuiyi shook her head and said, "It's nothing. If you don't take me, I can go by myself." As she said that, she was about to get off the bed. Yun Yao couldn't persuade her and was afraid that she would fall again by accident, so he quickly supported her and said submissively, "Okay, I'll take you! Don't move, I'll support you."
"Thank you, Yun Yao." Liu Zhuiyi was in a very good mood, even though he was physically weak.
Yun Yao rolled his eyes at her and put on a warm coat for Liu Zhuiyi. He really didn't understand Liu Zhuiyi. She was in such a state, but she was still worrying about other people.
The most hateful thing is that Yun Yao, the second young master of the Yun family, can't do anything to this little girl. He is always forced into a corner by her and can only obey her.
Everything comes from my willingness. Once I am willing, there is nothing I can do.
Bian Zhener, whom Liu Zhuiyi wanted to see, was now checking Xun Yan's injuries.
Xun Yan took off half of her clothes, exposing her snow-white shoulders, which were bitten by bats. The bats were very ferocious. When they deliberately attacked people, they could squeeze through thick clothes and bite into the flesh. Duan Ganshan stood aside, holding his still aching wound, and said in fear: "Fortunately, I am lucky. The bat only hit me lightly."
"Master Duan, you go and rest first. Remember to ask your men to clean your wound. Leave this to me." Bian Zhener said.
"Okay then. I'll leave it to you. I'll go down first." Duan Ganshan couldn't help much if he stayed here, so he retreated first.
Bian Zhener looked at Xun Yan, who was lying on the couch biting her lower lip, and said, "Miss Xun Yan, please bear with it."
Xun Yan was sweating profusely, her lips turning gray, she nodded, and grabbed the animal skin on the couch with her palm. Bian Zhener pulled her clothes down again, and slowly put his palm on Xun Yan's shoulder.
"Now, I'm going to use my internal energy to expel the remaining blood and bat poison from your wound." Bian Zhen'er looked at Xun Yan worriedly, afraid that she couldn't hold on.
"I will... bear it." Xun Yan bit the animal skin in her mouth and let Bian Zhener do it.
Bian Zhen'er did not delay any longer. His pupils lit up and his palms glowed red. His internal energy surged through Xun Yan's wound, forcing out the poison in her flesh and blood, as well as the bat's broken teeth and saliva.
Xun Yan groaned in pain from between her teeth. She clenched the hide tightly, her body almost stiff. Bian Zhen'er finally pushed the poison out of her wound. Just as she was about to get up to get some hot water to wipe off the remaining blood, Xun Yan grabbed Bian Zhen'er's hand and said, holding back her tears: "Bian Zhen'er, don't leave..."
"I won't leave. I'll bring you hot water to wipe your wound." Bian Zhener patted the back of Xun Yan's hand to comfort her.
At this time, Yun Yao was supporting Liu Zhuiyi and walking out of the door. The night enveloped them in an invisible place, but Liu Zhuiyi could see the flickering candlelight in the house clearly.
Xun Yan slowly let go of her hand after hearing Bian Zhen'er say that she would not leave. Bian Zhen'er brought the prepared hot water, wrung out the towel, and carefully wiped the remaining blood around Xun Yan's wound.
Liu Zhuiyi saw it all, his chest heaving up and down. Yun Yao could feel that the hand he was holding was clenched into a fist and was trembling slightly.
"Let's go back first?" Yun Yao asked in a low voice.
Liu Zhuiyi angrily threw his hand away and said, "No! I want to see what the little monk is going to do with this vixen!"
Bian Zhener wiped Xun Yan's wound, bandaged her wound with gauze, and put clothes on her. The pain in Xun Yan's shoulder eased a little, and she slowly sat up and leaned against the capital beside the couch.
"Have a good rest, and everything will be fine when you wake up." Bian Zhener comforted Xun Yan.
Xun Yan shook her head, gently grasped Bian Zhener's hand, and said, "Can you stay with me for a while? Bian Zhener..."
"I'll wait for you to sleep." Bian Zhen'er couldn't refuse. Xun Yan was injured while saving him.
Outside the house, Liu Zhuiyi was panting heavily with anger. Yun Yao patted her on the back and whispered to comfort her: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, you are still not feeling well."
Inside the house, Xun Yan lowered her eyes and asked, "Bian Zhen'er, will we stay in Qiufeng Village in the future? If not, and keep going forward, where will you go?"
Bian Zhen'er had never thought about this question. He had been on the road since he followed Master Mingyang. Because he didn't know where to go, he wandered around the world.
Bian Zhener sighed and said, "Maybe one day when you are tired and exhausted, you will know where you need to be."
Xun Yan's eyes were filled with affection as she said, "Bian Zhen'er, can you come back to my hometown with me? I don't know how long you will be gone like this, and I think you need a place to stay."
Bian Zhener retracted his hand and whispered, "Miss Xun Yan, I am used to wandering."
"It's okay. I'll go with you. When you don't want to wander anymore, we'll go back together, okay?" Xun Yan sat up and looked at Bian Zhen'er expectantly. Bian Zhen'er couldn't bear it and said, "Miss Xun Yan... I feel..."
"Don't say it." Xun Yan stretched out her index finger to press against Bian Zhen'er's lips and said, "I know what you want to say, but don't tell me first. Can you accompany me tonight? Just accompany me alone. If you are not here, I will be very scared."
Bian Zhener neither agreed nor refused.
Xun Yan's delicate face was colorless. She still had the wound on her shoulder that she had left for him. Bian Zhen'er had no way to refuse. Xun Yan leaned forward slightly, leaned on Bian Zhen'er's shoulder, and murmured: "If you were not a monk, would you be moved by me? Bian Zhen'er..."
"Fox charmer! Bian Zhen'er actually didn't push her away!" Liu Zhuiyi stomped his feet in anger. His emotions aroused the cold poison in his body and he couldn't help coughing a few times.
Bian Zhener and Xun Yan heard the cough and looked out the door together.
When Liu Zhuiyi saw that they had discovered her, she turned around and left. She didn't care about Bian Zhen'er. She didn't even feel bad if he died!
"Liu'er--" Yun Yao watched Liu Zhuiyi being driven away in anger, not knowing what to do. Bian Zhen'er in the room was startled, and hurriedly pushed Xun Yan away, saying, "I'm sorry." Then, he stood up and chased after her.
"Bian Zhen'er!" Xun Yan angrily called out Bian Zhen'er's name, but he had never come back for her. Xun Yan's facial features were tightly screwed, she gritted her teeth, grabbed the animal skin with her hands, and pulled it apart in anger.
"Bian Zhen'er, you pissed off Liu'er and she ran away."
When Yun Yao saw Bian Zhener coming out of the room, he immediately put the blame on him. Bian Zhener felt guilty and hurriedly chased after him.
Liu Zhuiyi walked very fast, pulling down the old corns hanging in the food gallery of Qiufeng Village one by one as he walked, and said angrily: "You damn little monk! You are so greedy for beauty and hold a beautiful woman in your arms! If the Buddha knew about this, he would cut you into pieces and would never forgive you. Neither would I forgive you!"
Liu Zhuiyi was so angry that she covered her mouth and coughed a few times, feeling extremely wronged. Her eyes were red, and tears fell when the wind blew.
"Then I will apologize to you. Will you and Buddha forgive me?" Bian Zhener's voice sounded behind her. Liu Zhuiyi hurriedly wiped away her tears and turned to look over.
He held the old corn that Liu Zhuiyi had pulled out in his arms, standing straight with sincerity in his eyes.
Liu Zhuiyi pointed at the corn in Bian Zhener's arms and shouted, "Why are you picking them up? Are you disgusted with me for going too far and getting my emotions involved with innocent corn?"
"I didn't..." Bian Zhen'er felt amused and helpless at Liu Zhuiyi's childishness. He said, "You messed up this place. We need to eat these corns." Bian Zhen'er glanced around him and saw fallen corn kernels all over the place.
"Look at you, you are still blaming me, right?" Liu Zhuiyi sniffed and tears were about to fall again.
"I didn't." Bian Zhener put down the corn in his arms and walked to Liu Zhuiyi. He looked at Liu Zhuiyi's tearful face and couldn't help but wipe it with his sleeve and said, "You ruined the corn. What are the people in Qiufeng Village going to eat?"
"I don't want to hear this, you know I don't want to hear this!" Liu Zhuiyi burst into tears and wanted to hit Bian Zhen'er like a willful child, but Bian Zhen'er took her into his arms before she could do anything.
As if she was in a warm and peaceful place, Liu Zhuiyi's accusatory voice died in her throat. She couldn't believe that Bian Zhen'er hugged her so tightly.
Liu Zhuiyi's heart seemed to melt, and she couldn't help crying again: "Little monk..."
"Don't cry, I'm afraid you will cry." Bian Zhener put her palm on Liu Zhuiyi's head and rubbed it gently.
Liu Zhuiyi burrowed into his arms, her voice still filled with tears, and said, "I'm happy..."
Liu Zhuiyi had been waiting for this moment for a long time. She had thought of thousands of ways in which Bian Zhener would abandon everything and return to the secular world. She was also prepared to wait until her black hair turned white and she was old, but all this came much earlier than she had imagined. If only it were like this, if it would always be like this, that would be great.
The night in Qiufeng Village was surprisingly quiet. Only the west wind blew through the clothes surrounding the corridor, rolling wildly in the night.
That night, Bian Zhener stayed with Liu Zhuiyi and coaxed her for a long time before she fell asleep peacefully.
After Liu Zhuiyi fell asleep, Bian Zhener closed the door for her. He looked around and found that everyone in Qiufeng Village had fallen asleep, so no one knew where he had gone.
Bian Zhener put on his warm clothes and prepared a rope and sharp weapon. He wanted to go down the mountain alone to take another look at the tomb. He had too many doubts that needed to be solved personally. After Bian Zhener went down the mountain, he saw a figure standing at the highest peak of Luoyan Mountain.
The figure's clothes rustled in the moonlight. She was wrapped in a dark purple hat, with a purple veil covering her face, and a corundum stone hanging on her forehead.
Bian Zhener went to the tomb alone, still taking the original route. As he had guessed, the topography of the tomb had returned to its original state, with the three coffins neatly placed in the center of the tomb.
Bian Zhener lit a torch and pressed the button on the largest coffin. The coffin made a friction sound and slowly pulled out from under the cover. A group of bloodthirsty bats flew out of it. Bian Zhener quickly squatted beside the coffin and raised the torch above his head.
The bats dared not approach. The light in the tomb was dim, and they rushed around and flew out of the sixteen exits. Seeing the bats go away, Bian Zhener slowly got up. At this time, the coffin had been opened. Bian Zhener walked to the coffin and looked inside. There was a skeleton lying in the coffin, with some purple and black marks on the bones.
A muffled sound of a woman crying came from the coffin, which made Bian Zhener frown.
Bian Zhen'er used a dagger to gently pick apart the bones, and the bones instantly scattered. Several reptiles crawled out from the smelly pile of rags. These were black hard-shelled reptiles, exactly the same as the reptiles encountered in the mountain temple that day.
Sure enough, everything was just as expected, these so-called "hauntings" were all man-made!
But Bian Zhen'er didn't expect that this person would actually be her...
In Qiufeng Village, a woman dressed in dark purple was approaching the sleeping Liu Zhuiyi step by step. Liu Zhuiyi was sleeping soundly with the Jiaoweiqin left to her by Bian Zhener in her arms.
The woman in purple wanted to kill her without leaving any room for mercy!
The woman used poison magic, pushing her two fingers from her arm to her cuffs. Suddenly, a cloud of purple mist appeared, which turned into a snake shape and slowly drove towards Liu Zhuiyi. Just as the purple mist snake-shaped approached Liu Zhuiyi, it was blocked by a barrier wall in the air.
The purple mist snake-like shape instantly dispersed, and the woman clenched her fists and said fiercely: "Bian Zhener!"
It was Bian Zhen'er who used the power of the eyebrow pupil to protect Liu Zhuiyi. Could it be that Bian Zhen'er had already suspected her...
"Who's awake in the middle of the night?" The door was pushed open, and Yun Yao walked in with his hands in his pockets, followed by Duan Ganshan with a machete. Duan Ganshan glanced at Liu Zhuiyi sleeping on the bed and said, "I didn't realize that the little monk is really smart."
Yun Yao stared at the purple-clothed woman with a smile, his face full of lust: "My little beauty, you missed your brother so much that you went into the wrong room. Oh, your brother is here, come here." As he said that, Yun Yao opened his arms, bit his lips deliberately, and looked at the woman with a dazed look.
"You're looking for death." Unable to bear the humiliation, the purple-clothed woman moved closer to attack.
Yun Yao squatted down quickly, and Duan Ganshan drew out his scimitar behind him and met the purple-clothed woman's moves. Yun Yao hid aside and shouted, "Master Duan, be careful of her! She can use poison!"
"I won't give her this chance!" Duan Ganshan shouted in a low voice, and slammed the scimitar hard towards the purple-clothed woman's lower abdomen. The woman was hit by his force, groaned in pain, and took several steps back.
Yun Yao put away his smile, exposed him indifferently, and said: "Miss Xun Yan... stop pretending."
The purple-dressed woman stared at him and laughed twice. She lifted her veil, and her previously delicate and pitiful face became more charming at this moment. She said, "So you all know it."
Yun Yao sneered and said, "I can only confirm it's you when you take off your veil."
Xun Yan was stunned, then she said self-deprecatingly: "I am not as cunning as you."
“No, no, no, I’m not as cunning as you.” Yun Yao spread his hands and said, “You have caused panic among the people of Lingqiu County, but the reason you failed is that you are too impatient and too eager to show your true colors.”
Xun Yan listened to Yun Yao finish his words and smiled seductively: "If I really had no patience, do you think you could survive until now?"
"Thank you so much for not killing me." Yun Yao said sarcastically.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, because... I don't intend to kill you!" Xun Yan's eyes were as sharp as blades. She stretched out her hand and pressed it straight at Yun Yao's throat with her tiger's mouth like a clamp. Duan Ganshan was waiting behind her and picked up his scimitar to chop him down. When Xun Yan approached Yun Yao, she suddenly dodged Duan Ganshan's attack by turning sideways, and the scimitar cut her hat.
But Xun Yan's target was not Yun Yao, she took advantage of the momentum to dodge the attack and leaped to the side of Liu Zhuiyi. Three iron hooks suddenly emerged from Xun Yan's wrist guard and slashed towards Liu Zhuiyi.
Liu Zhuiyi slightly opened her eyes, and vaguely saw Xun Yan's attack coming. But Xun Yan did not succeed, and the protective wall that Bian Zhen'er had set up for Liu Zhuiyi pushed her back and smashed her against the top of the wall.
"You can't break the pupil between your eyebrows." Bian Zhener's voice came from outside the house. Yun Yao walked to Liu Zhuiyi and helped Liu Zhuiyi up. Seeing Bian Zhener walked in, he said to Xun Yan who was injured on the ground.
Xun Yan got up and asked, "Since when did you start to doubt me?"
"That night when you touched the pupil between my eyebrows." Bian Zhen'er's face was cold.
"Then why did you expose me now?" Xun Yan asked in confusion, leaning against the wall.
"Because I don't know what you want to do." Bian Zhen'er frowned and said, "After that night, Liu'er's personality became extremely abnormal. I suspected you, but I didn't know why you did this, nor did I know your specific identity, until you entered the ancient tomb with me and Master Duan..."
Xun Yan sneered and said, "Bian Zhen'er, do you really not know why I did this?"
Bian Zhen'er's brows darkened and he said, "If it's just because of Liu'er, then I won't let you go. Because you have a vicious heart, are jealous and irritable."
"What do you mean by not letting me go?" Xun Yan raised her voice and asked, "Why, Bian Zhen'er, are you going to kill me?"
"I won't kill you, but I won't let you follow us anymore, and I won't let you hurt Liu'er."
"Hahaha!" Xun Yan held her stomach and laughed, with sarcasm and disappointment in the corners of her eyes. She looked at Bian Zhen'er, and her heart suddenly felt sour. "Bian Zhen'er, I thought you converted to Buddhism and would never be tempted in this life. It turns out that you were tempted by Liu Zhuiyi in the end. You won't let me hurt Liu Zhuiyi. Do you mean that if I hurt her, you will take my life?"
Bian Zhener's eyes were filled with coldness, and he said, "Xun Yan, I won't take your life. But..." He took a breath, and said slowly and firmly, "Liu Er... is my last bottom line."
As soon as the words came out, some people were happy and some were worried. Liu Zhuiyi and Xun Yan's eyes were full of tears, but their moods were completely different. Xun Yan turned her gaze to Liu Zhuiyi and said, "Did you hear that? Liu Zhuiyi, you are so lucky. Not only Bian Zhen'er helps you, but Yun Yao and everyone in this village also help you. But what did I do wrong? Bian Zhen'er!" She glared at him, "Did I hurt you? Why can you give Liu Zhuiyi tenderness but not give me even a little bit?"
"You killed Uncle Li's son!" Bian Zhen'er didn't want to tell the truth, but Xun Yan was too stubborn, so he had to tell her. "You killed Uncle Li's son. His body was eaten clean by the poisonous insects you raised. The burial objects in the coffin must have been eaten by your poisonous insects. Whenever the poisonous insects gnaw on something, they will make a sound similar to a woman's cry. You have disturbed Lingqiu. You also wanted to kill Liu'er. It was Duan Ganshan who saved her with snake gall water! You also wanted to kill Duan Ganshan. You deliberately saved me in the tomb so that he would hit the button of the mechanism to release the bat. Xun Yan... No reason can be an excuse for you to kill people, do you understand?"
"I never thought of killing that man!" Xun Yan turned her head away and said fiercely, "He was the one who was curious about the ancient tomb and wanted to go down to the tomb chamber, so he was dragged away by the poisonous insects!"
"Where are I and Liu girl?" Duan Ganshan pointed at the wound on his forehead and cursed, "I have been here for more than 30 years, and there has never been any ghost in the tomb in the north of the city. You can raise poisonous insects and gray poisonous insects, and you can raise poisonous snakes! The bats are also yours, right? You...you..." Duan Ganshan seemed to have thought of something, and pointed at Xun Yan and said, "Who is the old lady Zhu of Shushan to you?"
Old Lady Zhu was the one who saved Duan Ganshan and gave him snake gall. When Xun Yan heard the name, she said disdainfully: "Who can that old thing be to me? He was driven out of the village a long time ago."
Duan Ganshan was shocked and asked, "You...you are also the Shushan Poison Girl?"
"You are quite knowledgeable." Xun Yan took a step back and stretched out a hand, waving her slender fingers like a phantom. At this time, a group of poisonous insects slowly crawled out from behind her. She said, "It's okay to tell you now. I am indeed a villager who practices poison in the Miao village west of Shushan. When I came out to practice, I happened to meet Bian Zhener. I knew at a glance that he had the skill of eyebrow pupil that everyone wanted. So, I pretended to be bullied and mixed in with you. It was also I who deliberately instigated Liu Zhuiyi to go to pick spirit vines. I also wanted to test Bian Zhener in the mountain temple to see how deep your eyebrow pupil is, so I released the poisonous insects, but..."
Xun Yan stopped summoning the poisonous insects, lowered her eyelids, and said, "But you risked your life to save me... When I was young, my mother taught me to control poisonous insects. I was bitten so many times, but she never felt sorry for me. But as a stranger, you saved me." She raised her eyes, with expectation in her eyes, and said, "Bian Zhen'er, I don't want your eyebrow pupil anymore. Come back to Shushan Miao Village with me? If you come back with me, I will release everyone here."
Bian Zhener was silent for a while, his eyes fell on Liu Zhuiyi, and he said: "I'm sorry, I won't go back with you."
The expectation in Xun Yan's eyes gradually died out, her voice instantly turned cold, and she said, "Then... you can just wait to regret it!" After that, she waved her hand, and all the reptiles behind her attacked Bian Zhener and the others.
Xun Yan flew out as light as a swallow, her voice echoing in the air: "Bian Zhener, you want to protect Liu Zhuiyi or the people of Lingqiu County, think about it carefully!"
“Little monk—” Liu Zhuiyi leaned forward, supported his palms on the edge of the bed, and said, “Go and stop her!”
Liu Zhuiyi knew that Bian Zhener was a person who cared about the people, and she could not give him time to think and feel embarrassed. Bian Zhener also knew that Liu Zhuiyi understood him. Bian Zhener did not hesitate and said to Duan Ganshan and Yun Yao, "Master Duan, Yun Yao, Liu Er is in your hands."
"I will protect you with my life!" Duan Ganshan patted his chest and said firmly.
"Thank you!" Bian Zhener clasped his fists, then followed Xun Yan's steps down the mountain.
"Yun Yao boy! Stay in the eyebrow pupil and don't come out. These poisonous insects are afraid of open flames. I'll go light the bonfire in the village." Duan Ganshan told Yun Yao and ran out immediately. Yun Yao held Liu Zhuiyi in his arms, and Liu Zhuiyi carried the Jiaoweiqin on his back. The poisonous insects on the ground crawled towards them, but they didn't dare to get close to the eyebrow pupil protection light.
After Duan Ganshan ran out, he woke up all the brothers and asked them to light the bonfire on the martial arts training ground. He also built a circle of firewood around the bonfire. In an instant, the fire in Qiufeng Village illuminated the entire night.
Duan Ganshan went in with two torches to meet Yun Yao and Liu Zhuiyi. Bian Zhener's pupil protection light could not hold out for long.
"Yun Yao, catch up!" Duan Ganshan threw the torch to Yun Yao, walked over and grabbed Liu Zhuiyi, saying, "Yun Yao, you cover us."
"Okay!" They protected Liu Zhuiyi from the front and the back and brought her to the campfire.
There were many brothers in Qiufeng Village. Many of them were busy carrying firewood in and out. They were bitten on their legs and other parts of their bodies because they could not avoid the poisonous insects. They rolled on the ground in agony, but rolling on the ground would attract more poisonous insects. Duan Ganshan's face twitched when he saw this. He had seen vicious people, but he had never seen such a vicious person!
Duan Ganshan looked at the chaotic Qiufeng Village and shouted, "Third Brother! Stay here with Yunyao to protect Miss Liu. Second Brother and Fourth Brother, follow me into the village to save our brothers!"
"Yes! Big brother!" Second Master, Butcher Master, and Dog Brother obeyed the order.
They lit torches to rescue the trapped people. The rescued people were dragged under the bonfire by the dog brother, holding the places where they were bitten by poisonous insects and in great pain. Liu Zhuiyi saw it and could not stand by and watch. She looked up and said to Master Tu: "Master Tu, I need you to take the risk to find gauze to bandage the wounds. In addition, please leave the dagger on your waist. I want to save these bitten people."
Master Tu immediately understood what Liu Zhuiyi meant and said hurriedly, "Miss Liu, wait a minute, I'll go find it right away." As he spoke, he took off the dagger from his waist and handed it to Liu Zhuiyi, "This is for you." Liu Zhuiyi took the dagger and began to detoxify the poisoned person.
She first heated the dagger over the fire, then cut the poisoned part of the victim. Yun Yao helped her squeeze out the venom, and Butcher came with gauze to clean and bandage their wounds.
“Be patient, everyone. Even though the poison is strong, it won’t be life-threatening once it’s squeezed out.” Liu Zhuiyi was detoxifying everyone while comforting them. However, she still had the cold poison in her body, and she felt cold and weak before she could hold on for long.
"Liu'er." Yun Yao carefully noticed Liu Zhuiyi's physical condition and called her worriedly. Liu Zhuiyi waved her hand and said, "It's okay." Then, she wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and continued to scratch the wounded skin to squeeze out the poison.
There were flames everywhere on Luoyan Mountain and cries of grief were heard everywhere, but Lingqiu County below the mountain was eerie and silent.
It was already the end of the Yin hour. If there were any traders, they would have lit candles and started setting up their stalls. However, Lingqiu County was very quiet, without even the sound of a rooster crowing.
Bian Zhener walked through several streets and alleys but didn't see any sign of life.
"Bian Zhen'er, where are you going?" A figure slowly stopped behind Bian Zhen'er from the air. Bian Zhen'er turned her head to look, and Xun Yan covered her face with her hands and smiled, "Are you looking for me?"
Bian Zhen'er advised: "Xun Yan, these people are innocent, please don't hurt them."
"Okay." Xun Yan laughed twice and said jokingly, "Then come back to Shushan with me, okay?"
"I said, I won't go back with you." Bian Zhener frowned.
The smile on Xun Yan's face slowly faded, leaving only a trace of it at the corner of her mouth. She raised her head slightly and said, "Then... I'll let them accompany you properly, right?"
Bian Zhen'er suddenly felt uneasy. He followed Xun Yan's gaze and looked behind him. That glance shocked him!
All the villagers in Lingqiu County stood behind him. They had dull eyes and dark faces, as if their souls had been hollowed out and only an empty shell was left.
"You controlled them?" Bian Zhen'er looked at Xun Yan in disbelief.
Xun Yan didn't take it seriously. Controlling a group of people's minds was not a big deal for her. She had controlled Liu Zhuiyi in the same way before. Xun Yan stretched out her hand in front of her eyes as if nothing had happened, scraped her long nails, and said, "Well, let's control you for fun. If you don't obey, I can't do anything about it, right?"
"Xun Yan, you still have any humanity when you hurt innocent people like this!" Bian Zhen'er was furious, but Xun Yan really liked to see him angry. In her mind, Bian Zhen'er was always calm and gentle, and rarely got angry.
Xun Yan didn't mind the anger in Bian Zhen'er's words, and said nonchalantly: "Just treat me as a person without humanity. Anyway, the lives of these people have nothing to do with me." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Bian Zhen'er attacking her. She was caught off guard and dodged it. She said with resentment in her heart, "Bian Zhen'er, you really want to take my life!"
"You brought this upon yourself, you can't blame anyone else!" Bian Zhen'er attacked as fast as an arrow from a bow, but he was courteous in every move. He just wanted to capture Xun Yan, not her life. Xun Yan argued with Bian Zhen'er, "I brought this upon myself? Bian Zhen'er, you forced me to this point. I gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it!"
Bian Zhener retracted his moves, confronted Xun Yan, and asked, "Let me ask you, why do you insist on having me go to the Miao Village in Shushan?"
"I like you and want to take you back to live together." Xun Yan did not hide it.
Bian Zhen'er asked again: "Do you really understand the feeling of liking someone?"
"Hahaha!" Xun Yan couldn't help but find it funny and said, "Bian Zhen'er, you're a monk, and you actually asked me if I understand the feeling of liking someone?"
Bian Zhen'er said seriously, "I didn't understand it before, and I may not understand it now. But my master has loved a woman for his entire life. I saw how he felt about her and how he felt sad and happy. But they were not meant to be together, and my master knew that. I asked my master why he didn't take the person he loved back then, and he told me that nothing in the world can be forced, including the person you love."
"So you mean that I shouldn't force you?" Xun Yan stared at Bian Zhen'er with a sharp gaze. Bian Zhen'er raised her head slightly and said, "There is no love between you and me. You are forcing me and being selfish."
"So you and Liu Zhuiyi are destined to be together! She is not sensible at all, but you still protect her everywhere!" Xun Yan said angrily, her eyes red with anger. Bian Zhener was silent for a long time, and said: "I have already...protected you very much..."
He was already very protective of her. In order to protect her, he let Liu Zhuiyi go to Lingqiu alone.
Xun Yan asked: "Then... have you ever thought of me in your heart?"
Bian Zhen'er clasped his hands together and said softly, "Bian Zhen'er has only two people in his heart in this life."
Xun Yan knew what he meant and said sarcastically: "Don't beat around the bush. Since you refuse to go back to Shushan Miao Village with me and since I have never been in your heart, why should I spare the life of this common people for you? Bian Zhener, you don't have another chance!" As soon as the words fell, Xun Yan urged the people of Lingqiu County who were under his control. They seemed to wake up from a dream, their eyes widened, and they made "woo woo" sounds from their mouths, and walked towards Bian Zhener.
Bian Zhen'er did not dare to hurt them and only avoided the attacks of these people who had become puppets.
Xun Yan was so calm that he jumped onto the roof to watch the show.
It was already noon when a gust of winter wind blew in from the gray sky, carrying a few snowflakes.
"It's snowing..." In Qiufeng Village, Liu Zhuiyi looked up at the sky, and a snowflake fell on her eyelashes.
Everyone in Qiufeng Village was staying under the bonfire. Some people who were not rescued in time had already died under the attack of poisonous insects, and their bodies were quickly taken away. The poisonous insects had not been completely eliminated and were bustling all over Qiufeng Village. If the snow fell heavier, the bonfire would be covered, and then there would be no way to deal with these poisonous insects that were not afraid of even the cold winter.
Liu Zhuiyi looked at some of the Qiufengzhai brothers lying under the bonfire and slowly said, "Master Duan, you and the Second Master, Master Tu, Brother Gou, and the brothers who were not poisoned should take these injured people down the mountain. Lingqiu County is probably in chaos now, otherwise the little monk would not have not returned until now. You should leave Lingqiu County, the farther the better."
"What about you?" Duan Ganshan asked.
Liu Zhuiyi knew her physical condition. She took a deep breath and said, "I can't leave... I'll wait for the little monk here."
Duan Ganshan thought for a moment, swallowed his reluctance, and quickly ordered his men: "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother! Take your brothers and leave Lingqiu County immediately!"
"Brother, aren't you leaving? If you don't leave, we won't leave either!" Uncle Tu stood up and asked.
Duan Ganshan cursed, "Why are you talking so much nonsense! The brothers in Qiufeng Village are loyal to each other. I promised Bian Zhener that I would protect Miss Liu, so I must do it! Get out of here now!"
"Brother, if you don't leave, we won't leave either!" Second Master Tuye and Dog Brother knelt down together, and the brothers behind them said in unison.
Duan Ganshan's face turned red, and he said, "You guys are going to piss me off to death! I'm not going to die! You go first, and I'll come find you later! Hurry up! If you don't leave now, I won't have any brothers like you anymore!"
“Brother…” Brother Gou wanted to say something else, but was grabbed by Tu Ye. Tu Ye clasped his fists and said, “Brother, I will do my best to protect the safety of the brothers. The brothers are waiting for you!”
"Let's go! I'll cover you." Duan Ganshan picked up a torch and made way for a path. Yun Yao also silently assisted Duan Ganshan, protecting the group of people from Qiufeng Village to get down the mountain safely.
The snow was getting heavier. Liu Zhuiyi wanted to stand up, but found that his cold had worsened due to fatigue and he was weak and powerless.
"Liu'er." Yun Yao came over to help her when he saw this. Liu Zhuiyi looked at the poisonous insects still crawling on Qiufeng Village and said breathlessly, "Yun Yao, the poisonous insects... haven't been cleared away yet?" Her vision became blurred. She was afraid that she would become a burden to Duan Ganshan and Yun Yao, so she said, "You guys go find the little monk. I can't walk anymore. I'll wait for you here."
"Don't try to drive us away." Yun Yao knew Liu Zhuiyi's thoughts very well, and held her tightly, refusing to leave. Duan Ganshan came over and shouted, "Girl Liu! We promised Bian Zhener that we would protect you. Don't worry, everything will be fine. Leave these poisonous insects to me, Master Duan!" As he said that, he threw the torch in his hand towards Qiufeng Village, and the torch immediately ignited the flag of Qiufeng Village.
"Master Duan..." Yun Yao was slightly startled and asked, "Are you going to burn down Qiufeng Village?"
"The bonfire won't last long." Duan Ganshan picked up the torches surrounding the bonfire and threw them towards Qiufeng Village one by one.
If people are dead, what's the point of keeping the village?
The entire Qiufeng Village was instantly enveloped in a sea of fire, and none of the remaining poisonous insects could escape. Duan Ganshan stood at the gate of Qiufeng Village, looking at the sea of fire that he had started, and tears appeared in the eyes of this rugged man for the first time.
At the foot of the mountain, Xun Yan saw the smoke on the top of the mountain. She didn't expect that Duan Ganshan and his men would dare to burn their boats.
"Liu'er..." Bian Zhen'er saw smoke and fire on the top of the mountain, and then he overturned the group of puppets that surrounded him and flew towards Luoyan Mountain. Xun Yan followed closely behind him, and attacked Bian Zhen'er's back with his hand like a bone claw, saying, "Bian Zhen'er! I won't let you go back so easily!"
Bian Zhener turned around to defend himself, but his shoulder was torn by Xun Yan's other hand. He groaned in pain and fell to the ground.
Xun Yan landed on the ground and walked slowly towards Bian Zhener, saying, "Although they are willing to abandon Qiufeng Village to defend against my poisonous insects, they are still doomed. You just stay here and go collect their bodies later!" She squatted down, pinched Bian Zhener's chin, and watched the bright red blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. She couldn't help but said pitifully, "If you were obedient, you wouldn't have been hurt, right? Bian Zhener, I know you can't bear to kill these puppets, let alone me. You should just leave it to fate and follow me."
"Dream...on!" Bian Zhen'er squeezed out these two words from between his teeth. Xun Yan felt a sudden force pushing her away. Bian Zhen'er's whole body was flashing red light. His pupils between his eyebrows suddenly opened. He pinched Xun Yan's throat with one hand and pushed her into the corner.
Xun Yan was strangled by Bian Zhen'er's hands and couldn't breathe, but she still struggled hard.
"Bian Zhen'er... don't... don't..." Xun Yan begged for mercy with difficulty. The cinnabar red between Bian Zhen'er's eyebrows closed, and he suddenly let go. Xun Yan fell to the ground and kept coughing. Bian Zhen'er ignored her and flew up to Luoyan Mountain.
Xun Yan's hands, which were resting on the ground, slowly clenched into fists, with deep hatred in his eyes.
On the mountain, Duan Ganshan asked Yun Yao to carry Liu Zhuiyi on his back and go ahead, while he stayed behind. Liu Zhuiyi's vision became increasingly blurred, as if she were in a state of chaos, but because of this, she could hear the subtle strange sound behind the cracking of burning wood, which was the sound of insects vibrating their wings.
Liu Zhuiyi suddenly felt uneasy. She turned her head and saw a flying insect that looked exactly like the fire in Qiufeng Village suddenly jump out! The flying insect rushed straight towards Liu Zhuiyi. Liu Zhuiyi shouted, "Be careful, the poisonous insects are not gone yet!"
The flying insect was almost close to Liu Zhuiyi's body. Duan Ganshan rushed to him and held the attacking object in his palm. However, the flying insect fluttered in Duan Ganshan's palm for a few times, and suddenly penetrated Duan Ganshan's palm and entered his body! Duan Ganshan felt pain and itchiness all over his body, and the flying insect kept flying in his body!
"Master Duan!" Yun Yao was about to help when he saw this, but Duan Ganshan reluctantly stopped him and said, "Hurry up and leave!" As he said that, he took off his coat, waved it in his hands and spun it, rolling up the flying insects that flew out of the firelight into his coat one by one.
Although Duan Ganshan used his coat to wrap the flying insects, the insects in his body made the veins on his body bulge and almost burst out of his body. Yun Yao's eyes were red, he put Liu Zhuiyi down, wrapped her in his clothes, and wanted to help Duan Ganshan. But who knew that Duan Ganshan suddenly went crazy, he threw away his coat, held his face with both hands and scratched it non-stop!
"Duan Ganshan——" Liu Zhuiyi screamed. Duan Ganshan heard Liu Zhuiyi's voice and endured the pain. His pupils almost turned outward and his eyes were full of bloodshot, but Liu Zhuiyi's figure was clear in his eyes. He wanted to speak, but felt a hot blood rushing up his throat. He pushed away Yun Yao who came to help him, and used his last bit of strength to use his internal force to knock Yun Yao and Liu Zhuiyi down from Qiufeng Village. Then, he ran to the campfire and knocked it down with his body. The campfire collapsed and drowned all the flying insects...
Liu Zhuiyi watched with his own eyes as the bonfire collapsed, drowning the flying insects and Duan Ganshan.
She called out Duan Ganshan's name, but she found that her throat was filled with pain and she couldn't make a single sound. She and Yun Yao were knocked down Qiufeng Village by Duan Ganshan, and they rolled several times on the snowy mountain, suffering some impacts, but they were safe and sound.
"Duan Ganshan..." Liu Zhuiyi struggled to get up, looking at the tall Qiufeng Village, tears streaming down his face. Yun Yao got up beside him and went over to help Liu Zhuiyi up. He didn't say a word, but his heart was in great pain. He had never been so sad before. He watched Duan Ganshan go crazy in front of him, and watched him do his last bit of work to bring them both back to safety.
"Go save him...go save him..." Liu Zhuiyi felt extremely helpless. She grabbed Yun Yao's hand tightly and begged, "Duan Ganshan is lucky and will not die! Yun Yao, can you help me check on him? I beg you..."
"Liu'er... Liu'er." Yun Yao hugged her tightly in his arms and kept comforting her, "Listen to me, Master Duan saved the two of us. He was invaded by flying insects and buried under the bonfire. He... He used his own life to protect the two of us. He..."
Liu Zhuiyi broke free from Yun Yao's embrace, refusing to believe it. She grabbed the snow on the ground, crawled forward a few steps, and said, "I want to go and have a look. What if he is alive...what if..."
"Liu'er, he's dead." Yun Yao said behind him.
"No!" Liu Zhuiyi couldn't accept it. Duan Ganshan would never die!
"Liu'er, he's dead!" Yun Yao couldn't bear it, but Liu Zhuiyi had to face the reality. He knew that Liu Zhuiyi felt extremely guilty. Duan Ganshan died to save them, and she took all the blame on herself. She felt that she had killed Duan Ganshan.
Liu Zhuiyi suddenly stopped moving. She stared at the white ground. Tears fell on the snow one by one like beads and soon melted away. Suddenly, she felt a sweet smell in her mouth. She reached out to wipe her lips, but her hand was stained with a large piece of blood. The bright red blood fell on the ground, and the blood and snow blended cruelly together.
A bright red plum petal was blown from somewhere and fell in front of Liu Zhuiyi's eyes.
Bian Zhener flew down from the bottom of the mountain and ran straight towards Liu Zhuiyi. When he held Liu Zhuiyi in his arms, he found that her lips were covered in blood and the tear marks on her face were colder than this winter.
"Liu'er!" Bian Zhen'er didn't know what happened and kept calling her, but she didn't even look at him. Yun Yao swallowed his tears and said, "Duan Ganshan...died. In order to save Liu'er and me, Liu'er..."
Bian Zhener caressed Liu Zhuiyi's face with a heartache, and the chill penetrated his bones, frightening him. She had her eyes open, and there were traces of tears in the corners of her eyes, but why didn't she want to look at him?
"Is this the end of the road?" Xun Yan suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain, looking at the scene in front of him with a sneer.
Bian Zhener said softly: "Yun Yao, go find Master Duan's body, and leave this to me."
Yun Yao nodded and said, "Okay." Then, he braved the heavy snow and walked towards Qiufeng Village.
Bian Zhener comforted Liu Zhuiyi gently and said with warm breath, "Have a good sleep. When you wake up, everything will be fine." Liu Zhuiyi lay in his arms, tears streaming down her eyes, and she slowly closed her eyes.
Bian Zhener picked up Liu Zhuiyi and said to Xun Yan, "Whatever tricks you have, just use them."
Seeing how gentle Bian Zhen'er was to Liu Zhuiyi, Xun Yan had already given up and said coldly, "I will bury the two of you together."
After saying this, she used her poison magic to summon the people of Lingqiu County who had become puppets.
Bian Zhener looked sideways at a red plum tree growing on the edge of the cliff. He remembered what Liu Zhuiyi had said to him, hoping that he could take her to see a scene of red plum blossoms in the snow. He had not had time to respond to her...
"Liu'er, wait for me." Bian Zhen'er put Liu Zhuiyi aside and protected her with the Eyebrow Heart Pupil Technique. He walked in front of Xun Yan and said, "I won't give you another chance."
Xun Yan had an indifferent expression on her face and said cruelly, "You'd better give yourself a chance!" As she spoke, she activated her poison technique, and the puppet people instantly became ferocious. A layer of black cloud wrapped between their brows, their faces were pale and ugly, and they all attacked Bian Zhener.
Bian Zhener raised her head slightly and said softly: "Master, I'm sorry..."
Suddenly, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and heavy snow swirled around Bian Zhener. A beam of red light spread from Bian Zhener's forehead, illuminating the entire Luoyan Mountain. Xun Yan saw that his eyebrow pupil was fully opened, and said in surprise: "Bian Zhener, are you going to die!"
Bian Zhen'er was completely unconscious at this time, but he knew what he had to protect. His eyebrow pupil was fully open, and his whole body was covered with cinnabar. The puppets that approached him were instantly bounced away by the power in his body. Bian Zhen'er gathered power in his palms, and he used the eyebrow pupil technique to cut out the throat of those who stood in his way, leaving no chance of survival.
Xun Yan was shocked, she didn't expect Bian Zhen'er to actually start a killing spree! She retreated behind the puppet and increased her control.
Seeing Bian Zhen'er rushing towards him with red eyes, the white snow on Luoyan Mountain was stained with blood, the same color as the red plum blossoms on the cliff. Xun Yan was terrified and shouted, "Bian Zhen'er! If you insist on being my enemy today, you can't blame me!" Xun Yan flew into the sky, controlling the puppets of the people, turning dead branches into long snakes and melting hair into gray worms. The long snakes and gray worms crawled towards Bian Zhen'er, towards Liu Zhuiyi, and to Yun Yao in Qiufeng Village who was looking for Duan Ganshan's body.
Bian Zhener's eyes fell on Liu Zhuiyi, and when he looked back at Xun Yan, he was filled with anger. His clean and handsome face was covered with blood. At this moment, he did not remember that he was a young monk, nor did he remember the advice that Master Mingyang had given him. What was the pupil between the eyebrows, and what were the Buddhist rules!
"Ah——" Bian Zhen'er suddenly roared, gathered his strength and opened his arms, red light scattered, knocked down the puppet, and the long snake gray worm was caught in the red light and torn into pieces. Xun Yan's face was already panicked, Bian Zhen'er walked towards him step by step, every step he took into the deep snow, the eyebrow center pupil technique in his body overflowed from the inside out, once the puppets got close, they would be injured to death.
Xun Yan refused to believe what she saw. She stopped the control technique and all the puppets returned to normal. For a moment, the surviving people were hurt by Bian Zhen'er and cried in pain in the snow. Their sorrowful voices echoed throughout Luoyan Mountain. Xun Yan raised her voice and said, "Bian Zhen'er! Look! These are the people of Lingqiu who were hurt by you! Look at the sin you have committed!"
She wanted him to blame himself and live in guilt forever. She wanted him to know that he disregarded the safety of the people of an entire county for the sake of a woman. She wanted him to never have peace in his life!
Bian Zhener stopped and the murderous scene just now flashed in his red pupils.
Xun Yan looked at Bian Zhen'er warily, he stood there motionless, expressionless. Liu Zhuiyi, who was protected by the Eyebrow Heart Pupil Technique, slowly woke up. She saw the shocking scene in front of her, looked at Bian Zhen'er, who was covered in red light, and shouted with difficulty: "Little monk... don't..."
Hearing Liu Zhuiyi's voice, Xun Yan quickly attacked Liu Zhuiyi, Bian Zhener's eyes lit up and followed. Liu Zhuiyi looked at Xun Yan approaching, supporting himself on the ground with his elbows, unable to dodge, and seeing Xun Yan's vicious hand approaching, Liu Zhuiyi closed his eyes in despair.
Suddenly, a splash of hot blood splashed on Liu Zhuiyi's face. She opened her eyes and saw a hand piercing Xun Yan's heart! It was bleeding and stopped in front of her.
Xun Yan's pupils gradually widened and a tear slid down her eyelashes.
He really did it to her...
Xun Yan opened her mouth, but could only make a slight hoarse sound. She slowly turned her head, but Bian Zhen'er pulled back the hand that had penetrated her body and stood behind her indifferently. Xun Yan's heart was hollowed out by Bian Zhen'er, and she staggered a few steps and finally fell down.
She fell into the snow in a purple dress, and large flakes of snow fell on her body. She could not believe until her death that one day her life would end in the hands of Bian Zhener.
Xun Yan opened her mouth slightly, blood gushing out. She struggled for a few times and finally closed her eyes.
Before she closed her eyes, a tear flowed from the corner of her eye, flowed down her ear and wet her hair, and was finally frozen by the heavy snow.
Bian Zhen'er opened his eyebrow pupil to the fullest, hurting others and himself. His body could not withstand the powerful force of his eyebrow pupil, and he spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly fell to the ground. Liu Zhuiyi lay on the ground, his eyes never leaving Bian Zhen'er.
There were only a few feet between them, but she couldn't even crawl to him.
The snow on Luoyan Mountain was getting heavier. In Qiufeng Village, Yun Yao also found Duan Ganshan's body.
One day , at the Red Plum Cliff of Luoyan Mountain, a young monk played a song for a girl. The girl fell asleep on the monk's legs and never woke up.
Next to them stood another young man in white with a faded smile.
That day, the red plum blossoms and the snow on Luoyan Mountain were very beautiful.
