"No, I don't want to die!" Leng Qingxiang was scared out of her wits when she saw the strange saber shadow flying towards her. Her face was ashen. She wanted to escape from the strange saber shadow quickly, but her legs were trembling uncontrollably. She didn't have the strength to run at all. She widened her eyes nervously. It seemed that she would really die in this deserted bamboo forest today.
Seeing the fiery red blade shadow shooting straight at her back, at this critical moment, a white silk appeared out of thin air and floated to Leng Qingxiang's side. Then, with a few rustling sounds, Leng Qingxiang's entire body was firmly entangled by this white silk and floated to a towering bamboo. All of this happened too suddenly, and Leng Qingxiang was a little stunned. Just as she was wondering if she had been captured by the White Impermanence and taken to the underworld, she suddenly felt someone's aura. She looked up and saw an old nun in her fifties holding her tightly in her arms.
"You, who are you?" Leng Qingxiang looked at the stranger in front of her in surprise. She had a kind face and wore a gray robe. Her long black hair was tied up into a high bun on her head. She held a jade-handled horsetail whisk in her hand. She was extremely fat and refined, like an immortal from the celestial heavens.
"Child, don't be afraid.”The old nun looked kind and her tone was gentle and tactful.
"You're a nun! That was great! I'm saved!" Only then did Leng Qingxiang recover from her fright. When she was young, she had heard her father mention Nun Jingxiu. Her father said that Nun Jingxiu was kind and lived in seclusion all year round. She rarely got involved in Jianghu disputes. She did not expect that she would be so lucky today to meet this hermit expert at this critical moment of life and death.
"Why is it you? I didn't expect that the first person I saw when I returned to the martial world after thirty years would be you! "An old male voice sounded in Leng Qingxiang and Jingxiu Nun's ears.
Jingxiu Nun looked around vigilantly and saw that the strange saber shadow was hidden behind a bamboo tree not far from them.
"One-armed Swordsman, I think you were once a hero praised by everyone in the martial world. How could you kill so many people for no reason, not even letting this little girl off!”Jingxiu Nun said indifferently to the strange saber shadow.
"Hero? Hahaha! The hero from 30 years ago was long dead!”The old man's voice rang out again. The strange saber shadow shook violently in the air, and it was very scary.
"Since we're fated, why don't we come out and meet?”Jingxiu Nun calmly looked at the strange blade light and floated down the green bamboo with a cold fragrance.
Leng Qingxiang stood nervously on the grass. Looking at the strange blade light, she thought of the tragic deaths of the disciples of the Evil Mountain Hall of the East Sea. She couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.
"Jingxiu Nun, I, Ouyang Lie, did not expect to meet you here today!”As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man with disheveled hair stood in front of the Jing Xiu Nun and Leng Qingxiang. His skin was dark, and his messy long hair covered his eyes. His thin face was filled with melancholy and vicissitudes.
"It's been 30 years, and you still haven't gotten over that relationship!”Jingxiu Nun looked at the haggard Ouyang Lie and said with a complicated expression.
"I can't forget Ruyu. If you hadn't saved me back then, I wouldn't be in so much pain now!”
"Back then? Maybe that was a mistake!" A trace of tears suddenly appeared in the eyes of Jingxiu Nun. The incident from 30 years ago appeared in her mind again.
It was a hot summer day. A girl who was picking herbs in the valley found a man covered in blood. He was lying on the branch of an ancient cypress tree. She used all her strength to save the man and brought him back to her home. When the man woke up, he cried and cried to find a woman named Ru Yu. The girl could not beat him, so she helped him search the entire valley. Later, they found the body of the woman named Ru Yu by a stream. When the man saw the body, he was in extreme pain and wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide. The young girl blocked the sword with all her might. She once again saved the disappointed man and gathered herbs to treat his injuries. Three months passed, and the man's injuries were completely healed. He wanted to bid farewell and leave. The young girl sent him off with tears in her eyes. At that moment, the young girl felt that she could no longer leave this man. She wanted to marry him, but the man coldly rejected her and left without looking back. Looking at the back of the man, the young girl's heart was as cold as ice. She did not cry, but quietly went to a nunnery in the valley. From then on, he would leave the mortal world and devote himself to Buddhism. However, fate played a trick on people. She did not expect that after 30 years, this girl would actually be able to see this man again!
Ouyang Lie's mind suddenly flashed with the image of that cute and beautiful girl, but thirty years had passed, and everything was in the past.
Leng Qingxiang saw that Jingxiu Nun was suddenly a little sad and asked foolishly,"Abbess, what's wrong?"
Jingxiu Nun waved the horsetail whisk in her hand and said indifferently,"Child, it's fine!"
"Oh!" Leng Qingxiang looked at Ouyang Lie, who had disheveled hair. He was no longer as fierce as before, and the strange saber shadow had long disappeared.
"I came back to the martial world after thirty years for no other reason than to look for Ruyu and me again. Back then, Ruyu was like a peach blossom blooming in spring, so bright and beautiful. She sang and danced with me at the foot of Taibai Mountain, right here in this bamboo forest. I remember it clearly in this bamboo forest!”Ouyang Lie's eyes lit up as he said excitedly.
"Then why kill these people?" Jing Xiu Nun pointed at the charred corpses on the ground and asked coldly.
Ouyang Lie's eyes turned cold as he sneered,""Because they touched the peach blossom I gave to Ruyu and this girl!”As he spoke, he cast a cold and terrifying gaze at Leng Qingxiang.
"No, no. I heard them talking about something just now, so I came over to listen. I definitely didn't touch Senior's peach blossom!" Leng Qingxiang was frightened by Ouyang Lie's cold gaze and hid behind the nun as she spoke with a trembling voice.
"Just for a few peach blossoms?" Jingxiu Nun looked at Ouyang Lie in disappointment. She found it hard to believe that there was such an infatuated man in the world. That woman had died for thirty years, but he still couldn't forget her. Moreover, for that woman, he was willing to be the enemy of the entire world!
"That's what Ruyu likes. No one can touch it.”Ouyang Lie suddenly shook his arms in excitement. The powerful saber in his backpack had already broken out. Countless saber shadows surrounded the entire bamboo forest. They were the shadows of the Sun and Moon Soul Catching Saber absorbing the sun's light. As long as Ouyang Lie applied internal energy, these shadows would kill according to their master's will.
"Thirty years ago, because of you, the martial arts world suffered a catastrophe. I don't want to see the martial arts world suffer because of the Sun and Moon Soul Assimilating Saber thirty years later! Good, good! "Jingxiu Nun put her hands together and closed her eyes.
"As long as you don't say anything, no one will know about the appearance of the Sun and Moon Soul Assimilating Saber!”Ouyang Lie said coldly.
"I hope it's as you said. I'll make this child forget what happened today!”Jingxiu Nun pressed her palm on Leng Qingxiang's forehead as she spoke. Before Leng Qingxiang could react, she had already fallen asleep.
Ouyang Lie sneered twice and disappeared into the bamboo forest like lightning. Nun Jingxiu looked at his disappearing figure and smiled bitterly. His heart was already filled with Yan Ruyu and would no longer accommodate anyone else. However, even if she cultivated quietly for 30 years, she still could not forget him. Monks should be pure and forget about the world of mortals, but how could they easily let go of the love of their lives? The nun closed her eyes and hoped that Ouyang Lie would go far away and never return to this Jianghu full of disputes. She knew that Ouyang Lie's fragile heart could no longer withstand everyone's ruthlessness!
