Chapter 99 Chapter 98 Who knows the truth of life

Yuan Mei was drawing a picture. When Xiao Qiu came in, she had just put away her brush and put a silk scarf on the rice paper to block the picture.Next to the painting is a bunch of plum blossoms with icy muscles and bones that have withered. What is this painting, why not let Xiaoqiu see it?Xiaoqiu couldn't help feeling curious. The brush used by Yuan Mei is also called Langhao, which was called Mengbi in ancient times. According to legend, it was invented by Meng Tian, ​​a general of the Qin Dynasty.She washed the wolf hair in clean water, put on the pen cap, and gently put it into the tube pen.It wasn't until she finished all this that she turned around to meet Xiao Qiu.

Xiaoqiu came forward to pay respects, and he had seen Yuan Mei on the Eagle Pagoda.Yuan Mei introduced the middle-aged man: This is my cousin, I know.Xiaoqiu said.Yuan Mei was a little surprised: You know he is my cousin? Um.I also know that he is the third master of Qinglong Town!Before Xiaoqiu came to the bank, he collected all the information about Jardine bank as much as possible.He stared at the middle-aged man: bloodthirsty, one man killed a total of 1,788 people in the first battle of Tianshan, the first of its kind in martial arts, no one from the ancients before, no one from the future, this record has no one in the world so far break in.

good.It is next.Can Dao admitted, with a look of arrogance on his face.Xiaoqiu said: However, I am also a little puzzled.Can Dao said: What puzzles you? Now that Qinglong Town and Qianzhuang are killing you to the death, it is inextricably linked, why do you dare to come to this place?And you walk around with an incomplete knife on your back, aren't you afraid that others will recognize you?Xiaoqiu said: I really can't think of a reason. It's actually very simple, he is my cousin.Yuan Mei replied on behalf of Can Dao: He came here as if visiting relatives. Xiaoqiu said: I know you are relatives, but Candao is also the enemy of Qianzhuang!

Can Dao proudly said: Why can't I come?Is there a place in the world I dare not go to?What he said was the truth, Xiaoqiu admitted this, but he still couldn't figure it out. I know you can't figure it out.Yuan Mei said: Do you believe that I can let my cousin come and go freely? Xiaoqiu is dubious, and it's the same for anyone else. Forget it, let's not talk about this matter.Yuan Mei smiled sweetly: Tell me about you, how did you come here. You invited me here.Xiaoqiu said: Candao brought me here. Can Dao said: You have been following me? It's not tracking, it's belting.Xiao Qiu emphasized: With your skill, you will not notice that someone is following you in broad daylight?You brought me here on purpose, for fear that I would not recognize you, and even hung a broken knife on your back to show off.

Can Dao nodded: Xiao Qiu, you are really smart. Those who are not smart in the arena will die very quickly.Xiaoqiu said slowly: I don't want to die yet. Can Dao said bitterly: You posted a missing person notice in Liuchunyuan, this move is poisonous enough. If you don't, will you come to me?Xiaoqiu smiled: The effect is very good. Yuan Mei said: How did you know we would come to you? Because of this paper.Xiaoqiu took out the purple letter paper from her bosom, handed it over with both hands, and said: Now it belongs to the original owner. Yuan Mei took it and looked at it: Is this my thing?I have never seen this paper.

Of course it's yours.Xiaoqiu said: I was born in a rich and famous family, my father was General Yuan of the dynasty, and Eunuch Liu in the palace was also a godfather. Apart from you, I really can't think of anyone nearby who would use this expensive purple silk . I am not the only rich one.Yuan Mei said disapprovingly: Qin and Chun can use this kind of purple silk. Xiao Qiu smiled and said: Qin is a careless person, how can he have the leisure to play with such a little woman. Pure?She always has money and leisure, right?Yuan Mei's eyes were strange. You are wrong, Chun is not as rich as the outside world sees.On the surface, the money bank takes whatever it wants, the rare rare books of Songju;However, it would be very, very expensive for Zou Song to buy the power of Jianghu, and there are very few truly priceless things left in the bank.Xiaoqiu said: I saw with my own eyes that Chunjiao Panpan practiced calligraphy, using ordinary paper.

Yuan Mei said: What you said is also reasonable, but Chun always has leisure time, right? Xiaoqiu smiled wryly: A person who has been under house arrest for a long time, and his husband and son have no tomorrow, how can he have leisure time?It's good to be alive.Um.Yuan Mei also sighed faintly. On the night of delivering the letter, the fragrance you deliberately used was similar to Chun. At first I thought it was Chun in a trance. Under the night, your back is similar to Chun. Xiaoqiu said: It was not me who discovered the problem, but Lin Xiaofeng. Hearing Lin Xiaofeng's three words, Yuan Mei trembled slightly.

Lin Xiaofeng was born in a family in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has extremely high attainments in calligraphy and painting.You have been together for a period of time and have communicated with each other at a very deep level. No matter how your characters are modified, he can recognize them.Xiaoqiu said: At first he didn't want to admit it, how could my old friend and I not see the change on his face? For the inscription on the purple silk, if the bank is used as the background, the southeast is the direction where you live.The person you actually want to see is not me, but Lin Xiaofeng!But you don't have the courage to go to Lin Xiaofeng, just like I don't have the courage to go to Chun, so you come to me.

Yuan Mei admitted with a nod, a little disappointed on her face: I thought Lin Xiaofeng would come alone when he saw my writing. He also wanted to come to see you, but we discussed it and decided that he would go to Songzhuang and I would come here. Why?Yuan Mei stared: Doesn't it mean he doesn't want to see me, you don't want to see Chun? We all want to see each other.Xiaoqiu said word by word: But, we are not here to meet lovers, we are here to find needles!Only when I separate from him can we have no distracting thoughts and no interference when we face you, and we can take action when it is time to do so!

Just by you?Can Dao's words were sarcasm: Just rely on this knife in your hand? Yes.Xiaoqiu smiled happily: I seem to have a knife in my hand. Xiaoqiu has always used a sword, why did he use a knife?Can Dao said: Not all swordsmen can use a sword. Swords will change, knives will change, but people will not.Xiaoqiu said: Who said I can't use a knife? Candao suddenly pulled out the broken knife on his back.This is an incomplete knife, there is no blade head, only the back half, the blade is glowing blue, with bursts of cold light, changing a kind of bloodthirsty, cruel and murderous knife, has it absorbed too much murderous aura?

With the knife in his hand, Can Dao immediately regained his cold murderous aura, and became the bloodiest, most brutal and bloodthirsty person in Qinglong Town.He once said: Watching your opponent die in front of you is the most comforting thing in life.In the world of Candao, there are only two kinds of people: the dead and the living.Once the knife is shot, there are only two situations, either you die, or I die, there is absolutely no third kind. Can Dao's eyes burned like fire, and he looked at Xiao Qiu with bloody pleasure, as if Xiao Qiu was already a prey that could not escape, a dying person.He could make a move at any time, with a single swing of the knife, where is Xiao Qiu?With a broken knife, there is no one to live, Xiaoqiu still stood there very casually, leisurely and unrestrainedly, neither drew his sword nor guarded, and didn't even move, as if the whole person had entered the empty door of nothingness. Strangely, Can Dao didn't make a move.It's not that he doesn't want to make a move, but that he doesn't know where to make a move.Xiao Qiu just stood there casually like this, but no matter where the Can Dao went, it seemed that he was facing an empty door, a mysterious figure.Empty is nothing.Sometimes, nothing means security, that is, you can't find the entry point at all. Spring is here, and the number of mosquitoes has begun to increase. Suddenly, a fly buzzed in. Yuan Mei raised her arm, habitually trying to drive away this annoying fly. She has always been obsessed with cleanliness and couldn't tolerate these mosquito ropes the most, but when her hand was in the air, she suddenly stopped for some reason. The flies buzzed past Can Dao and flew straight towards Xiao Qiu.Flying to a distance of one or two feet in front of Xiaoqiu, the fly seemed to have bumped into a high wall suddenly, and could no longer fly over. No matter how hard it flapped its wings, it could not move forward any further! Yuan Mei's complexion changed, becoming as pale as paper.She suddenly understood why Can Dao, who had always killed without batting an eyelid, hadn't made a move: it wasn't that Can Dao didn't want to make a move, but that he couldn't do it at all! Xiao Qiu suddenly picked up the teacup slowly, just when Xiao Qiu put the teacup to his mouth and rolled up his tongue to take a sip of tea, the broken knife swung out. The light of the knife was like lightning, and there was only a crisp cracking sound, that was the sound of the teacup shattering, the broken knife smashed the teacup near Xiaoqiu's lips. Why didn't the Candao cut off Xiaoqiu's head, but a teacup?Because Xiaoqiu knew that Can Dao had condensed a murderous aura, and this murderous aura was like a rivulet converging into a stormy wave, which must be channeled and vented, otherwise Can Dao would hurt himself because he couldn't make a move. Xiaoqiu used a teacup to defuse this murderous aura! After a long time, Can Dao said: I know that your swordsmanship is very high, and Master Kong named you the person with the most potential in swordsmanship among the younger generation.But as far as we know, you are not in a good state during this period.Why did Fei Ji nearly kill you not long ago, but only a few days later, your martial arts improved so much? For a swordsman, there are many factors that affect the outcome.Xiaoqiu said: factors such as geography, environment, climate, light, location, wind direction, state at that time, preparations, etc. are very important. Every detail, every step, and every possibility are very important. Sometimes It is also decisive, and there must be no negligence. However, the most important factor is the psychology of the swordsman at that time.Xiaoqiu said: The most important thing is whether the swordsman has the confidence to win. Can Dao nodded thoughtfully. As a swordsman, his understanding of swords is often interoperable. Therefore, there is no absolute master in this world.Xiaoqiu said: I can defeat you today, and you may defeat me tomorrow. The key to the battle between two swordsmen lies in whether you have confidence and courage! The reason I fought Fei Ji was because I didn't have a sword in my hand and I didn't have confidence.Xiaoqiu said: I value the epee too much.Today is different, today I have a knife in my hand! Can Dao is puzzled: But, you didn't draw your sword! Although I didn't draw the knife, the knife gave me confidence.With a knife in hand, that's enough.He said: I also realized this after the battle with Fei Ji. At that time, the sword energy from the bone in Fei Ji's hand was like a shadow, stabbing at my face, and my whole body was completely covered in murderous energy.At this darkest moment, a flash of lightning flashed in my heart, and I suddenly realized that I valued Tianya Sword too much. Could it be that without Tianya Sword, would I become so vulnerable?Xiaoqiu said: People are often at their sharpest when they are at their most dangerous.Only when you identify your own problems can you improve your martial arts to a higher level. Can Dao said: Xiao Qiu, you are indeed very powerful, no wonder Qinglong Town and Qianzhuang value you so much.Xiaoqiu shook her head: I'm not that good right now.Is there anything more powerful? Yes, only the brave can win, and the benevolent can be invincible.Xiaoqiu said slowly but firmly: The most powerful time is when I can defeat you without a knife or a sword. Xiaoqiu is different from Candao, he doesn't like to kill people, he only kills the people who should be killed.For him, killing is not just killing, not just saving the world, but also carries the breath of pursuing the indescribable Tao. Can Dao looked at Xiaoqiu with unprecedented respect on his face. He was bloodthirsty, but he was even more addicted to martial arts. He was full of respect for those whose martial arts were truly higher than his own: I am the only one who has not seen blood in my life when I fight with you today. Although no one was killed in the First World War, it benefited a lot.I hope that next time you and I will fight again and we can win again. Okay, Xiaoqiu Zhanyan: I am always waiting. Can Dao suddenly bid farewell to Yuan Mei and Xiao Qiu.Cousin, it's rare for you to come here, why did you leave so soon?Yuan Mei stood up to persuade her to stay. Can Dao said: I still have something to do, let's talk slowly.However, if something happens to my cousin in the future, please feel free to tell me, I will definitely do it for you. Thank you, I know my cousin has always loved me the most.Yuan Mei laughed.Can Dao laughed and left. After Candao went out, Yuan Mei went to the door, and made an unexpected move by Xiaoqiu to gently close the door, put on the bolt, and draw down the bamboo curtain of the window. There were only Xiao Qiu and Yuan Mei in the room.Xiaoqiu felt her heartbeat suddenly speed up a lot.What does Yuan Mei want to do?Isn't she afraid of other people's gossip?Facing such a beautiful woman alone, thinking about what to do next, Xiaoqiu couldn't help but feel thirsty. He wanted to get up and say goodbye, but his feet were as heavy as nails, and he couldn't move the slightest bit; he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word of farewell. The room was much darker, and under the dappled and ambiguous light coming in through the cracks in the doors and windows, Yuan Mei looked even more charming.Is a woman who can't see clearly more attractive than a woman who can see clearly?People often don't have to see clearly.
