Chapter 277 Breaking the Law

After the snow, the sky is clear.

The sun, which had disappeared for a long time, finally broke through the clouds and spread its light and heat to the earth.

After several days of being devastated by cold wind and snow, the temperature began to rise rapidly.

The snow in the mountains is melting, and there is the sound of dripping water everywhere.

Two figures walked side by side and climbed up the stairs.

Stepping through the simple and magnificent white jade stone door, you enter into a majestic and solemn environment.

"Disciple has met the Taoist Master."

The inner disciples on duty saluted respectfully, and waited until the two figures walked away before they dared to raise their heads and continue chatting with their companions about everything.

From the beginning to the end, none of them even glanced at the young woman who was following the Taoist Master.

It was as if she did not exist in their sight and could not attract the slightest attention.

"I remember you always wore white clothes before, why are you wearing clothes of other colors now?"

Qi Taiquan stopped at an intersection and asked slowly.

Her eyes were now falling on a row of houses and courtyards not far away, her expression slightly lost in thought.

After a while, she lowered her head and glanced at the light blue cloak hanging on her body, with a peaceful smile on her face, "Time is like running water, it will never come back. Everything in the world is always changing, and the disciples are among them.

, naturally it will change accordingly.”

Master Xuanwu nodded, "The sun rises and sets, the moon waxes and wanes, many things seem to remain unchanged, but everything I was familiar with back then, when I look back now, most of them have changed.

"

Speaking of this, he pointed to the building not far away, "I still remember that when your group of disciples first entered the inner gate, they stayed here temporarily. Every day, there were all the senior brothers and sisters, and even the hall master.

Elders come to preach and teach and answer questions.

Unexpectedly, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and many of the vivid faces at that time have now gradually become blurred and disappeared into the memory bit by bit."

She fell into silence and tried to recall the past, "At that time, I was accepted by the teacher as a direct disciple. It was Senior Sister Qing who led me out from here. For a period of time, she was like a real sister, leading me to get familiar with the inner sect.

of everything.

Even at the last moment of her life, Senior Sister Qing tried hard not to die so quickly, just to leave some clues and information for me, my junior sister.

It's just that after the Cangmang Mountains, I can no longer remember what she looked like. I only know that her voice was soft and her smile was warm. It's like a piece of her memory was dug out and turned into a blank."

Speaking of this, she sighed quietly, "Senior Sister Qing has always been quiet and unwilling to move around, and she doesn't want to move around with other people. Therefore, after some time passed after her death, I was the only one who still remembered her.

Forgetting is the final real death, so if even I forget Senior Sister Qing, then everything in the world will no longer be related to her, and she will truly lose all traces of her existence."

"Forgetting is the real death."

Qi Taiquan was thoughtful and continued walking forward with his hands behind his back.

After ten steps, he stopped beside a green pine and suddenly asked, "Have you completely forgotten Senior Brother Feng?"

She gathered her thoughts and her tone became calm and indifferent again, "There is no trace of the teacher here anymore. As for whether there are any traces left in other places, I thought there shouldn't be any, but the last time I heard what the Taoist Master said, I had another idea.

changed."

Qi Taiquan asked again, "You went to the Luocha Clan's cottage ancestral hall last year, was it related to Senior Brother Feng Zhen?"

"Yes, if there is a way, the teacher has something to do, and the disciple will do his duty."

Sun Xiyue smiled, "I felt that the teacher was a little pitiful, so I worked hard to build a house for him to live in. Later, seeing how the old man was jumping around in it, he must have liked that house as pure white as snow."

Qi Taiquan stopped on the roadside and remained silent for a long time.

Suddenly, the figure he saw in Xuanwu Hall not long ago flashed before his eyes.

Thinking of this, he sighed softly, "That house should no longer be here for you."

"The Taoist master is right."

With a flash of light in her eyes, she looked at an old man coming from a distance, and fell into memory and thinking again.

But he still said slowly, "Disciples will not always be able to carry that kind of distorting pressure.

So from the ancestral hall of the Luocha tribe to crossing the vast mountains, there were countless battles, and the result was that I finally completed the cut and escape with a seriously injured and dying body."

The old man had already walked closer, stopped and bowed.

Qi Taiquan nodded slightly, "Is Elder Rongshang ready to go down the mountain?"

"In reply to Taoist Master, I just agreed to Master Nephew Pang's request the day before yesterday and was about to go to Xuanwu Academy to teach the new disciples their lessons and guide their practice."

Liu Rongsheng raised his head and his eyes fell on the open space not far away, with some doubts in his eyes.

"It is a blessing for the disciples of our sect to have Elder Rongsheng personally preach and teach and resolve their doubts."

Qi Taiquan smiled and said, "If there is enough time, I will work hard for Elder Liu to do an assessment this time to see which young people in other courtyards are worth focusing on training. Then bring the list to Xuanwu Hall to me."

"Please rest assured, Taoist Master, I have this intention when I go down the mountain this time, and I have made sufficient preparations in advance."

Liu Rong bowed again, passed by the two of them, and left quickly.

Soon he exited the white jade stone door and disappeared among the long stone steps.

"Disciple, thank you Dao Master for helping to cover it up. If it were just me, I wouldn't be able to completely cover up the martial arts master's perception."

"You shouldn't appear in the mountain gate again, but since I brought you in, it's my duty to help you cover up."

While talking, Qi Taiquan sat down in a pavilion by the roadside, "For a long time last year, the head of Dingxuan Palace was looking for your whereabouts. Did you meet her when you were in Mozhou?"

"The head of the palace is also a pitiful person."

She stood by the pavilion, silently looking at the inscriptions on the stone tablet standing there.

"She and I are actually in the same boat. Although the specific situations are very different, fundamentally speaking, they are generally similar.

But when it comes to meeting her, my disciple means that it would be better not to meet her."

"Because poor people must be hateful. I am like this, and the palace master is also like this. When two hateful people meet together, it is not a good thing no matter how you think about it."

She moved her gaze away from the inscription and looked at the carved patterns in the pavilion. "In addition, the disciples, like the Taoist master, also had doubts about the death of the head of Dingxuanluo. He wanted to come to the palace where he was an elder at that time.

Yuan should know something, but he kept silent.

Later, she focused on searching for me, and even killed several elders in the sect because of this, which may all be related to this matter."

After a pause, she continued, "Actually, whether Luo Qingjun is dead or alive has no direct relationship with his disciples, and I don't want to worry about it at this time.

However, I met some people and things in southern Xinjiang later, which made me think about it seriously again, and I hope that Master Luo is really dead and not still alive."

"It's a pity that Fu Taichang is too stubborn. He would rather risk his life than answer my questions. Otherwise, we can use the information he has to deduce some clues and guess how Master Luo is doing now."

"Fu Taichang, did you kill him?"

"No, I finally let him go."

Sun Xiyue sighed, "Originally, after Fu Taichang recognized me, he really had the idea of ​​taking his life and almost sent him to the underworld.

But when I thought that the person who witnessed the Guishu Fake Incident was either dead or crazy, and there was no one alive or dead, I suddenly became a little uninterested and did not press him further."

"As for the consequences of being recognized by Fu Taichang."

Her tone was gentle and she didn't care, "My disciple was ranked first on the red list a few years ago, so what if he is known to be alive?

On the contrary, the Taoist master needs to pay more attention. After all, although Fu Taichang's character is as hard as a rock, his vision is not bad. He has already had doubts from the time the disciple raised the question. Then when he knows the identity of the disciple, he will naturally

Thinking of Taoist Master.

However, from the disciple's point of view, since even I, an abandoned disciple of Xuanwu, didn't care, the Taoist Master, as the number one person in Xuanwu Dao, thought he didn't care either, so he raised it high and put it down gently, asking him to go back and treat me to a meal.

Eat a pot."

Qi Taiquan just smiled when he heard this, "There are many people who miss me, and there is indeed no shortage of him."

He closed his eyes and suddenly said, "What if Master Luo is indeed still alive?"

Sun Xiyue closed her eyes and her voice suddenly became very soft, "It depends on how she lives, and it also depends on my mood and thoughts.

Maybe the disciples will ignore it and ignore it, but it is also possible that one day they will enter Mozhou again, kill Luo Qingjun first, and then destroy the Dingxuan sect that has been passed down since the previous dynasty."

Qi Taiquan did not delve deeper into this issue, and changed the topic, "Since the last time we met, I have been a little curious these days, why don't I see any traces of practicing my martial arts on you?"

After looking at the incised carvings, she turned her gaze to the Xuanwu Hall in the distance at the center of the inner gate. Her eyes were solemn and complicated.

"Except for the basics of our sect and the true accident of Xuanwu, other disciples have forgotten it.

After I nearly died once, I went to southern Xinjiang to see the secrets hidden deep in the Three Thousand Mountains. In the process, I unknowingly learned about my own martial arts and the things I had studied before.

All kinds of exercises have been forgotten.

Now only the most commonly used killing moves are left, and I am trying to forget them little by little."

As she said that, she bowed slightly and said, "Disciple, thank you Taoist Master for allowing me to return to the mountain gate for a visit."

Qi Taiquan said, "There are still Xuanwu Hall and Yunlan Hall where you stayed before. Are you ready to go down the mountain now?"

"It is enough for the disciples to have gone through this journey in the inner sect."
