The seven strings were held by Liao Gushi in his hand.

The strings passed through the back of his hand, and the ends fell softly, like hair growing on them.

Purple-black blood thinly drew seven ink lines on the back of his left hand, flowing, gathering, and dripping.

His expression was unmoving.

The night is slightly cold.

The tip of Yingying's Resentment softly pressed against Cang Shuilan's throat. The slight force caused the tip of the sword to show a subtle arc, like a lover's soft tongue licking it.

Liao Gushi asked: "What is this style called?"

"The clouds and waters are vast."

Cang Shuilan responded lightly, with a complex and indescribable sadness in his eyes.

Liao Gushi said: "Well, I have an impression. This is the sixth form of the Seven Strikes of Cloud and Water. I heard from Brother Shen that your Seven Strikes of Cloud and Water were performed with Wuyou in the sword test competition nine years ago.

When Zuo Youzheng, one of the eight demons of life and death in the hall, was fighting, he made a breakthrough in the middle of the battle, and achieved immediate results, defeating the enemy and winning, which shocked the world. At that time, I had just learned some martial arts and was just a child who liked to play.

"His eyes became a little distant, as if he was looking back on the past. After a while, he continued: "Although this sixth move is powerful, I know that the strongest of your seven attacks of cloud and water is

In the seventh form, heaven and earth are each on one side."

Cang Shuilan smiled: "If you can't use the moves, there is no difference between strength and weakness. The young master has studied the way of swordsmanship intensively, and in a few years he has become a first-class master. He is not inferior to the great sword. I am convinced after losing this battle."

Liao Gushi's eyes were filled with pain: "I was already struggling when you performed the fifth move, and I knew it would be difficult to catch all seven of your cloud and water blows, so I was injured in the fight and fought to meet you. This is a lose-lose attack.

, it’s not that clever, so why should Brother Cang belittle himself?”

Cang Shuilan sighed softly when he heard the words.

Liao Gushi murmured to himself and counted: "Famous flowers explain the words, apricots rain and pear clouds, jade girls fly, no words are frightened, life and death are separated, clouds and water are thousands of feet, the sky is far apart... Brother Cang's music is elegant and upright, which shows that he has a noble temperament.

And the seven blows of clouds and water, so soft and tender, lingering and miserable, must imply a sad past. However, if you cling to the pain of love, your heart is tied up, and you can't get rid of it, what will it do? Even if there are thousands of knots in the human heart, only

You can figure it out yourself, but if you dwell on the past, you will suffer yourself."

The gentle breeze caressed her, and her silver hair flew, covering the shining tears on Cang Shuilan's face.

Liao Gushi put away the evil spirit of the warbler, loosened his left palm, and withdrew from the strings inch by inch, leaving seven small holes in his palm. The blood flowed more rapidly. Jing Lingyu hurriedly ran over and tore off his own clothes for him.

While bandaging the wound, Liao Gushi looked expressionless and indifferent, as if she was doing something that had nothing to do with her.

Suddenly someone said: "The way of the sword is the way of humanity. You can know your heart through the sword. Wouldn't it be good for you two to just let it go and become close friends?"

It was Chang Sihao who spoke.

Liao Gushi was stunned for a moment and murmured: "The way of sword is the way of humanity... You can know the heart by the sword! You can know the heart by the sword!"

Cang Shuilan clapped his hands and said: "Well said! Cang has always believed that knowing people's faces but not their hearts is a wise saying throughout the ages. Xiangshan layman once wrote a poem: The Duke of Zhou was afraid of the day of rumors, but Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the throne. Xiang Shi died at that time.

, Who knows what is true or false in a lifetime! It is exactly what it says! However, it is forgotten that it is the sigh of ordinary people. The way of sword is the way of humanity, and the great roads are connected. They are all the same. People's words can be fake, but the sword cannot be fake! Mr. Liao,

Nowadays, if we look at the people in the Hundred Swords Alliance, there are indeed some who are either deliberately plotting, obsessed with fighting, or making friends with the government. They are full of ugliness. It seems that none of them are worthy of friendship or respectable people. In fact, they have never tested swords against each other in person.

How can we see their true nature? No matter how close ordinary people are to each other, whether they are father and son, brothers, or husband and wife, it is difficult to know what is going on in the other person's heart. How lucky is it that we can express our thoughts with the sword and understand the heart with the sword!"

Chang Sihao smiled and said: "That's great, you two should stop fighting."

Cang Shuilan showed a smile and said: "Master Cheng Liao, please spare my life. Is it possible that Cang can continue to stalk and beat me? Not to mention beating, I am ashamed to death! This brother, your kung fu is also very good."

! Could it be Jue Xiang, the son of the fifth master of Qin?" He saw the concern in the eyes of Gu Changxin, one of the four masters of the Qin family, like a servant master, and expected that he must be a direct relative of the Qin family. Everyone knew that Qin Juexiang was the only one in the Qin family.

This vein of incense naturally guessed his head.

Chang Sihao was about to hold his hands in greeting, but then he realized that he was still holding the two human legs in his hands. He had been holding them while watching the battle, but he had forgotten. He quickly threw them aside and said, "No, my name is Chang Sihao."

Thinking about my relationship with the Qin family, it is really embarrassing and difficult to express, and it is not convenient to talk about it for a while.

Jing Lingyu laughed on the side and said: "He's sorry, let me say it for him. Brother Cang, don't underestimate this little black guy. He is the prince-in-law of the Qin family in Shanxi!"

Chang Sihao's face turned red after saying this. Cang Shuilan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. He thought that he had met Qin Juexiang a few years ago, and he didn't pay too much attention. He vaguely remembered that he had a pair of small willow-leaf eyes, and he should not be like this.

Hey, it’s just that young people grow too fast and it’s hard to tell. I didn’t expect that I would admit my mistake. He said with a smile: “It turns out he is the best son-in-law of the Qin family. No wonder he is so good. He punched my Bailongqin full of holes in one move.

.”

Chang Sihao said with shame: "I'm offended."

Cang Shuilan laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. Your Excellency uses a human leg as a sword. His hands are as fiery as fire. He opens and closes magnificently. He is majestic and magnanimous. You can tell at a glance that he is indeed a bloody man and a man worthy of friendship." Chang Si

Hao Nan Yan Xun Xie.

Liao Gushi said: "Brother Chang helped my sister escape from being rounded up in the past, and today he saved my life. I cannot say enough words of gratitude. Liao will definitely repay the favor in the future." Chang Sihao waved his hand hurriedly: "I happened to catch up, I can do whatever I can.

What are you talking about? How can it be considered a favor? Don’t say such things again." He suddenly thought: "If I can get help from a master like him, it would be more powerful to go to Dongchang to rescue the young master. But I am making this request now.

I'm afraid it's not always good to let him think that he will repay kindness."

Cang Shuilan smiled and said: "Sir, Cang will be the host today, how about we go have a few drinks?"

Liao Gushi said: "Since we left the alliance, our brothers have not drank at all."

Cang Shuilan said: "Since you call yourself a brother, you have recognized me as your brother. Why, are you afraid that your brother will get you drunk and take you back to the alliance?"

Warmth flashed across Liao Gushi's eyes, and a rare smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I'm afraid it's difficult to get your brothers drunk." The three of them laughed. When the Yuanbu swordsmen saw this situation, they felt incredibly angry and shouted:

"Cang Shuilan! Do you want to betray the alliance!" Cang Shuilan turned around and said: "Listen, everyone in Yuanbu Cang Group, clean up the battlefield, return to the alliance, and report to Chief Luo on my behalf. Say that I, Cang Shuilan, will be here from now on."

Quit and no longer be a member of the Hundred Swords Alliance." The swordsmen were extremely surprised when they heard this, but they were already too weak to deal with Liao Gushi, and they had no chance of winning against Cang Shuilan, so they all stood there in a daze.

.

The lanterns are hung high in the reception building and the seats are packed. The nightlife in this largest restaurant in Taiyuan City has just begun.

This restaurant is naturally also the property of the Qin family. As soon as the waiter saw Gu Changxin, he knew how to arrange it. He introduced a few people through the side door, applied wound medicine, changed their bloody clothes, and had someone clean up the blood stains on the piano for Cang Shuilan. Liao Gu

Shi's hand was also re-bandaged and replaced with a clean white cloth. Within half a cup of tea, everything was packed and several people were already sitting in the private room on the third floor.

This elegant room is in the Goryeo style, full of exotic atmosphere. The ground is raised, with thick solid wood floors. There is a low table in the middle of the room, and there are embroidered cushions on the green mats on both sides. Fine incense is burning in the room, and the smell is quiet.

Although the calligraphy and paintings on the wall are not masterpieces by famous artists, they still add a bit of interest to the room.

Although it was Cang Shuilan who was inviting guests, Chang Sihao was respected as the host and sat in the front seat opposite the door. Cang Shuilan sat cross-legged on the right, with white hair hanging down his waist. Liao Gushi was on the left, and Jing Lingyu sat beside him.

The situation is so close.

After the tea was taken away, the wine and food were put down, Gu Changxin, devaluing his status as a servant of the Qin family, went out to wait for her. Jing Lingyu asked about their relationship after farewell, and Liao Gushi said that he had defeated Shen Yuanqi in the forest, so he looked for her along the road.

At night, he went to the temple to stay overnight. He didn't want to find clues for Cang Shuilan early, so he was surrounded. Jing Lingyu complained: "You are so stubborn and have a bad temper. How can you go to the temple to stay overnight when you know that I am at the Qin family?"

?One risk will lead to loss of life." Cang, Chang and Chang looked at each other and smiled.

Liao Gushi changed the topic and said: "Brother Cang cannot disobey his orders, so I just have to retreat. Is it easy to get the position of the Ten Swordsmen of the Yuan Division of the Hundred Swords Alliance? Why does Brother Cang have to withdraw from the alliance?"

Cang Shuilan smiled faintly: "It's not because of you that I quit the alliance. Haha, you broke the knot in my heart and made me suddenly realize..." He took a long breath, "You can't chase the past! People can't always live in the past.

My daily life is in my memories. I look at the plants and trees in the alliance every day, alas...it would be great if I could forget her forever." Although Chang Sihao, Liao Gushi and Jing Lingyu didn't know it,

Who is the "she" in his mouth, but looking at his sad look, you can guess a rough idea, and everyone has their own thoughts for a while. Chang Sihao thought to himself: Yin'er likes Xiao Jin Shiyue, doesn't it mean that she also likes him?

Same?

Jing Lingyu's eyes were gloomy and he said: "If there is someone who cares about me like this, my life will not be in vain." Liao Gushi said: "Xiaoyu, you are talking crazy again, you are a big girl, you can't live in vain."

I know I'm ashamed!" Jing Lingyu rolled her eyes: "There is such a person who treats me well, but it's too late for me to be happy, so why are you ashamed?"

Cang Shuilan laughed and said, "Don't worry, you are so beautiful and people like you, people will want you and love you in the future." Jing Lingyu snorted: "I am liked by people, not just because I am beautiful.

The three of them smiled at it. Cang Shuilan asked: "Brother Liao, how do you feel about your injury?"

Liao Gushi said: "It's okay on your back, but on your hands, it will be fine after some time. Brother Cang, don't worry about it."

Cang Shuilan had a look of shame on his face: "It's Cang's fault that my brother was injured, and I will punish myself with three glasses of wine." After saying that, he poured three glasses of wine and drank it.

Jing Lingyu squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Since I'm greedy for wine, I can just drink it, why do I need to create a clever name?"

Cang Shuilan smiled lightly and said: "I knew you were a weird girl and would definitely make trouble. If I hurt your cousin, you would not be able to spare me. So tell me, how should I be punished?"

Jing Lingyu said: "Then you can stretch out your hand and poke a few holes to try." Liao Gushi said: "Xiao Yu! Don't be rude!" Cang Shuilan smiled lightly: "You should pay blood for blood.

It's not something that three glasses of wine can handle." As he spoke, he pressed his left hand on the table, and with his right hand, he pointed his fingers upwards like vertebrae and stabbed downwards.

Liao Gushi yelled "No!" He struck out with one palm to intercept, and Cang Shuilan made a move to meet him, saying: "Don't block me!" The two of them struck like lightning, and they split a few moves in an instant. Chang Sihao

Seeing that the situation was not good, he saw the right opportunity, reached out with both hands, and grabbed the wrists of the two of them. The three of them struggled, Huo Di stood up, Cang and Liao said: "Don't worry!" Before he finished speaking, Chang Sihao only felt a twinge of pain.

The energy came from both arms, and he hurriedly lowered his shoulders and loosened his hips, and used the pile method to send the inner energy of the two people into the ground. With a click, their feet stepped into the floor more than half an inch. The two people's inner energy was pressed again, and they were both beaten by Chang.

Sihao walked away easily, his wrist was held loosely and tightly by him, and he didn't even move at all.

Both of them had a look of surprise on their faces, and Chang Sihao said: "Since we already know our intentions, why bother with mutilating our limbs? Both of you, please stop!"

Cang Shuilan shouted: "Ashamed! Admire!" She lost all her energy. The shame was referring to her being restrained, but the admiration was referring to Chang Sihao's martial arts. Liao Gushi's arms also relaxed, and Chang Sihao

Only then did they let go.

Liao Gushi said: "Brother Cang, how can you take the children's jokes seriously? The three of us are not ignorant, and the little injury of our brother is nothing." He turned to Jing Lingyu and said: "Look, you still dare to talk nonsense.

Nonsense!" Jing Lingyu stuck out his tongue, with a smile on his face, but didn't look like he was taking it seriously. He said, "Everyone knows what Brother Cang is thinking, but this kind of behavior looks like he is not serious.

It's unbecoming of a little girl to be angry." Cang Shuilan's face turned red and she continued: "Ashamed, ashamed!"

Chang Sihao smiled and said, "You have such grace, why do you still need people to poke holes in your hands?" Jing Lingyu was a clever guy, so he couldn't help but be speechless when he was asked this question. He didn't care, he just smiled and let it pass.

In a girl's house, who can care too much about her?
