Deep night
Qing Yun Hill, Small Bamboo Valley
The glooht, the boundless darkness enveloped the Small Bamboo Valley Lu XueQi, in an attire of white, stood still by herself on the Full-Moon platform located at the mountain behind Small Bamboo Valley
The Full-Moon platform was actually the ether with Qing Yun TongTian Peak’s ”Sea of clouds’, ‘Rainbow Bridge’ as one of the six scenic spots of Qing Yun
The mountain behind Small Bamboo Valley was also filled with dense ba Bamboo Valley Abound in Small Bamboo Valley was another type of rare bareen, it’s body slender and tall, almost half of the norh and durable, known as the world’s nuh But the reen body was littered with tiny pink spots, like the tear stains of a heartbroken gentle woman, extremely beautiful
And the origin of the Small Bamboo Valley name, also came from this
As for the Full-Moon platform, it was actually a cliff solitarily suspended in theto the body of the mountain, ht of a bright ht would slowly rise fro its way to the full-ht coht in the middle of the sky
And the moment when the Full-Moon platforhtback from the smooth rock face of the
Full-Moon platfor the entire Small Bamboo Valley And the person who stood on the Full-Moon platform at that moend said that on the first full ht after sixty years, it would htreally made one yearn for it
But tonight, thewinds were obviously not suitable to enjoy the beauty of the full moon, and other than this Full-Moon platform behind the Small Bamboo Valley, the disciples residences in front of the mountain were pitch-black, evidently already in bed
Only Lu XueQi, alone came to this secluded deserted area
TianYa, which had never left her, still gloith blue light behind her in the darkness, illuht breeze blew over, fluttering her snow-like white clothes
Beside her temples, a few strands of soft hairacross her fair and white face but she see at theout in a daze
The er, her clothes started to dance in the wind
Just one more step forward, would be darkness, a vast abyss
At the side of the cliff, in the faint light, that white-attired girl stood alone un
Little by little, as it that surfaced froinally tender, how did it slowly turned into heartache
Bit by bit, like an unseen knife edge, stabbed deeply into the heart
The raved deep inside the heart, was actually a person’s face
Lovesickness, carved deep into the bones…
At the hour in the black night when it was deserted, at a secluded spot, she, slowly opened her arms, in front, was the boundless darkness, like the vast Heaven and Earth
The as so urgent, charging into her embrace as if it was about to tear apart a person, the darkness below her feet suddenly began to stir, fro around her body, wanting to pull her into the abyss
Just that she, like being witless, just quietly watched, the wind blew at her frail body, like, a lily that had bloomed in the darkness
The night, deep
That inexplicable chill, seeped into every inch of her skin, only her mind, only inside her s hidden deeply inside her heart, suddenly like a burning flaealed into --
A face
[Qiang Lang…]
A sharp sound, suddenly rang out in the night, reverberated far away
TianYa Celestial Sword unsheathed, bursting forth brilliant light in the darkness The white figure soared up, caught TianYa in the ly coldthat white figure On the Full-Moon platforan
Like the skythe sea in the horizon, transformed into an immense Milky Way, skillfully maneuvered in the slender fair hands, raced jubilantly in the dark night At tied towards the sky, at ti light, sentimentally attached to that unparallelled face; at tihtly-packed stars, twinkling brightly
Lu XueQi at this Full-Moon platforhtly, closed her eyes, her body see cotton, like a cold flower, danced out a poignant pose
She, transforht, spent, her face that pale, there seemed to be faint beads of perspiration but she still did not stop, maybe only when her body was exhausted then she would be able to forget everything!
So she danced and danced, that figure in the night, indistinct and beautiful…
[Ding!]
A soft crisp sound, TianYa Celestial Sword dropped slowly froarded the hard rock, like stabbing snow, soundlessly stabbed into the heart of the stone
Brilliant beautiful white figure, slowly lowered her head, the darkness quietly sed over
Who in the darkness, softly panting?
Water beads were dripping down, landed on the stone, maybe it was the sweat from exhaustion?
She softly panted, panted, then slowly calmed down, she raised her eyes, a faint fustration
Without realizing, she had danced to the back of the Full-Moon platform, in front of her eyes were a stretch of baentle tears bamboos
In the weak light, the spots of tear stains, like a heartbroken girl
She stared dazedly then suddenly laughed, soundlessly laughed, seeuish in it and then without a care for the dust on the ground, without a care for the clean white clothes she had on, against the tears baround
Looking up, gazing the sky!
The vast sky…
The night breeze blew over, there seemed to be a faint familiar smell
She closed her eyes, breathed deeply
As it turned out, after being exhausted, that face in the heart, seemed to be even etched even deeper
The past, bit by bit, like carved in her heart, unable to be erased anymore
Just like that day outside the Celestial Emperor Treasury, he, on i his own danger
She, still with her eyes closed, but a faint s
Until the last part, thearound them, she then realized, those words had already been etched deeply in her et him this way?
She talked to her inner self like that, although she did not believe it herself but her :

In the late night, the ancient words like a deht
