Poor Monk

Chapter 35: Pei Wuji ┃ He hated him and loved him

Why do you laugh

Shen Du couldn't tell.

But he just thought it was funny, because of the shocking dialogue between him and Gu Zhao, and because of the sword that Gu Zhao suddenly deflected when he was in the throes...

It's like hearing the funniest thing in the world.

It was like watching the funniest play in the world.

He couldn't hold back, and the more he laughed, the louder he even got so shocked that few people in the city opened the window to look outside. I'm afraid everyone else thinks he's a lunatic, but he's still laughing.

Whether Gu Zhao would hear this laughter, he was too lazy to care.

Laughing all the way out of the city.

It wasn't until he walked out five miles again that he felt that he had enough laughing, and that he was tired of laughing, so he slowly stopped.

Standing in the middle of a barren mountain, looking back.

The dilapidated city wall of Yiyang City, like a wounded beast, crouched in the dark shadow of the sky, restrained all its minions, and inexplicably showed a decadent scene.

The flag at the head of Duna City is still fluttering in the night wind.

Shen Du suddenly thought: Gu Zhao's feeling at the moment should be very uncomfortable, or maybe he will give him a chance to choose again, he will regret that moment for showing mercy

But that has nothing to do with him.

He looked down at the wooden box holding the candy in his hand, took out and ate another one, then raised his head and began to identify the direction.

It's time to go back to witchcraft.

In today's rivers and lakes, the three words "demon way" means evil demons, and in the past it was called "magic sect". But in fact, when the "demon road" first appeared, it was just a place name.

The Demon Road is in the northwest.

After the war subsided, the border trade was open, and the long and narrow area of the Hexi Corridor became a must. There was a long mountain road, which was the most dangerous section.

The mountains are thousands of meters high, as difficult as the Shu Road.

The pass road is opened between the two mountains. Walking in the road, when you look up, you will suspect that the cliff above your head will fall down, rugged and steep.

For business travel, this one is a shortcut.

If you want to get around, you have to cross the mountain next to it, and it will take at least half a month. So over time, bandits gathered here and robbed the past business trips.

One is that the road is difficult, and the other is that the bandits are dangerous, so it is called the "demon way".

The word "Dao" still only means "road" at this time.

It was not until more than 60 years ago that a group of demonic demons in the rivers and lakes were hunted and killed, fled to this place, occupied this place, slowly recuperated, developed and grown, and became today's "demon way".

And the most dangerous Jiantian Cliff on this road is the main altar of the demon road.

When Shen Du went here, he wanted to go back to Tiantian Cliff.

Using the direction of the North Star to determine the orientation, he didn't even bother to see whether it was an official road or a mountain road in front of him, whether it was a smooth road or a lofty mountain, and he only went southwest.

In a short time, Yiyang City was left behind by him.

The sky was dark.

No moon tonight.

But when Shen Du raised his head to look up at the sky, he somehow remembered those nights when the moon and stars were sparse in the sea of bubble mangosteens, and also the three volumes of the Buddha's Treasures.

Speaking of which, until he left from Gu Zhao, there was no news of the theft of the three volumes of the Buddha's possession from the Tianji Temple.

These monks…

What's the plan

"Now that the Buddha's Tibetan treasure has been stolen, a bloody storm is in front of us. It is better to block this matter, I am afraid that it should be reported to the martial arts, so as to avoid embarrassing situations in the future..."

"Abbot, it is absolutely impossible!"

"If the people on the rivers and lakes know that my Tianji Chanyuan is ineffective in guarding and stealing the Buddha Treasure for others, it will inevitably lead to a disaster. That demonic demon who stole the Buddha Treasure will not dare to make a statement after thinking about it. I might as well consider a sure-fire strategy before making a decision."

"What Junior Brother Yuanwu said also makes sense..."

The moonless sky was dark, and even the stars were covered by stratus clouds.

The monk stepped out of the abbot's room holding the string of red sandalwood beads. The surroundings were silent, but the previous quarrel in the room still echoed in his ears.

Word by word, sentence by sentence, sound.

Abbot Yuanmie sat in the middle, and everyone else in the room was a highly respected monk in the Chanyuan.

No one blamed him.

He did not inform the Chanyuan of what he had done, and no one in the Chanyuan felt that the theft of the Buddha's treasure was entirely his responsibility.

After all, the three volumes of Buddhist treasures hidden in the beads can be discovered and stolen. It can be said that ability and opportunity are indispensable.

It's not something that can be solved by his good guard.

In the past 16 years, countless people have visited the Thousand Buddhas Hall, and it is a miracle that the Buddhist treasure has only been stolen.

But the monk himself did not think so.

The more tolerant and reasonable the elders are, the heavier the repression of something in his heart. So that he just stood in the abbot's room and was in a trance.

He didn't even hear the Master calling him the Dharma name.

Abbot Yuanmie asked him, "Shanzai, what do you think?"

What can he think

Life and death day and night, the water flows and flowers fade.

There are too many helpless things in the world, and the current predicament of Tianji Temple is also helpless. It is wrong to go further, and it is wrong to take a step back.

Step by step.

Step by step is invincible.

He couldn't answer.

He had to shake his head slowly, but kept silent and walked out of the abbot's room.

The temple is clean.

Bodhi tree shadows whirling.

The snow-white monk's robe also showed a strange bright color like jade in this night, and swayed silently with his steady and quiet steps.

Walked the dark steps.

Walked through the high wall full of Buddha statues.

Passing through the forest of steles engraved with Buddhist scriptures.

The sutra buildings looked like standing Buddhas, and he lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes as he passed through them, full of hidden secrets and sins that no one knew about.

I wanted to go back to the meditation room.

But at this time, I couldn't avoid thinking of the bamboo hut in the bamboo sea at the foot of the mountain, and I felt that my feet were heavy, and it was really difficult to take another step.

When I looked up, I saw a tall pagoda in front of me.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

There was the sound of knocking wooden fish from inside.

Yu's extraordinary cultivation in martial arts gave Shanzai extremely sensitive five senses, so the moment he heard it, he had already judged that the sound of the wooden fish was coming from the bottom of the pagoda.

Seventh-level pagoda.

There is a plaque hanging on it, and the handwriting has been mottled.

But the monks knew what the two words above were without even looking at it.

Industry Tower.

The name of this pagoda.

Industry, evil also.

sin, sin.

He stood outside and listened to the sound of the wooden fish for a long time, but did not move.

There is wind.

The stratus clouds in the cold night moved in the sky, and it was unknown how long it took before the covered moon finally revealed, but because of the hazy fog, it looked a little hazy.

When a thin layer of clear light fell on the gate at the bottom of the pagoda, and when the light entered through the crack of the door, an old and hoarse voice finally came from inside.

"What do you mean by beings in your heart?"

Shanzai was slightly stunned, but replied, "Evil delusional minds, deceitful minds, unkind minds, jealous minds, vicious minds, and so on, they are all sentient beings."

The voice inside asked again, "What is authenticity?"

He replied: "Self-nature self-defense is the true degree of fame."

"Then what about the self-restraint?"

"From wrong views, vexations, and ignorance of all sentient beings in your heart, you will save them with right views. With right views, prajna wisdom will break through ignorance and delusion, and save all sentient beings. Evil comes from good."

In terms of Buddhism, he is the number one in the temple.

The old voice inside listened to his eloquent reply, and there was no words for a long time. It wasn't until Zenzai thought that he couldn't speak, and then there was a vicissitudes of laughter.

"The troubles are boundless, the Dharma door is endless. The higher the wisdom, the deeper the wisdom, the more troubles..."

Everyone called him "the wise monk".

Because he has read and recited, whether it is martial arts or Buddhism, he is all familiar with one point, even without a teacher, as if the spirit and beauty of Zhongtiandi are all in one.

In Buddhism, people like him are regarded as the reincarnation of Buddha.

But he felt that he was just a mortal body.

Ye Pagoda is an ancient pagoda.

Legend has it that the sixth patriarch, Hui Neng, was in this pagoda. He entered the meditation for ten days, was able to break through the world of the world, and understood the Mahayana Buddhism.

Now this pagoda is enshrined with the relics of the true Buddha, and the guardians of the pagoda are eminent monks of the Miaozi generation.

Miao Wu Zen Master.

After all, it is the master of the abbot of Yuanxie, who has guarded this pagoda and enshrined the real Buddha relic for more than 30 years.

Legend has it that he killed many people and created countless killing karma. Later, although he accumulated virtue and did countless good deeds, he was uneasy in his heart, so he spent his days in this pagoda, reciting Buddha and chanting sutras all year round.

Zenzai stared at the crack of the door, but saw the shadow of a few branches falling on the door, so when he looked back, he saw a tree of worry-free flowers planted not far away.

But no flowers.

Although Tianji Temple is a place where the earth qi gathers, it is also cold at this time, and only the leaves are fading and the cold branches are sparse.

He was silent for a long time.

I also saw this flower tree for a long time.

Then he lowered his eyebrows and asked the doubts that had been lingering in his heart for a long time: "The disciple is stupid and has demonic obstacles in his heart. But I don't know how the ancestors were like red dust in the past, why, why, and why?"

There was laughter inside.

After a while, it was the old and almost decadent voice: "That was a long, long time ago..."

The moon is hazy.

Inside and outside the industry tower, they are in general drowsiness.

The night passed quickly.

Shen Du didn't stop to rest, he was on the road all night, and he was on his way. From the mountains to the plateau, and from the plateau, I entered a familiar mountain.

The clouds cover the fog, and the difficulty of flying birds.

The precipitous shadow of Tiantian Cliff, in the meager light of dawn, is like an upside-down scimitar, naturally exuding a fierceness, and one cannot help but sigh at the magic of heaven and earth.

Everyone knows that the old lair of the Demon Dao is here.

But for decades, no force has been able to break through this place.

It is really easy to defend and difficult to attack. The terrain is extremely high, and the mountain road is complicated. People who are not familiar with the terrain will be stunned when they come in. What is the point of attacking

Not to mention, since he became the Taoist master, he has been in trouble with Gu Zhao, and the power of the demon Taoism has risen, and there has never been a case of being forced to come to the door.

He knew all the gates and defenses.

When he got near this mountain, he didn't even worry about changing the defense, or someone was laying in ambush outside to kill him. Now that he has the strength, he dares to go to Pengshan and walk sideways, and of course he dares to walk in this demonic way.

So just follow the same path.

No one was disturbed along the way.

From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, all are rugged, rugged and dangerous. Occasionally, blood smeared the ground, broken blades inserted stones, and skeletons caulked seams, but I didn’t even look at them.

For Shen Du, these are all seen from childhood.

Demon Road is his territory.

If he remembered correctly, today happened to be a big day for discussions in Taoism. All the heads of the Demon Dao, such as the head of the various branches, and even the elders and guardians, will gather in the extreme cold.

Yao Qing, Cui Hong…

Even Pei Wuji should be there.

Han Jue Ding is at the height of Jiantian Cliff. It was originally a huge karst cave in the mountain. Later, it was excavated by the demons, and the mountain wall was opened up, as if a square was carved out of the Qianren cliff.

Sky light penetrated from the outside, and a brazier was set up inside.

Thick iron chains hang down from a high place, adding a dash of coldness to the space, but the ground is covered with a thick Persian fleece blanket, which is always soft when you step on it.

Anyone who has been in the Demon Dao for a few years knows that this thing didn't exist in the first place.

After all, there are many fights on the demon road, and when the fleece blanket is spread, God knows when it will be stained with blood, and it will be replaced by a new one soon.

But since Shen Du became the Taoist master, the cold blanket has become the norm.

Some people mocked and said that the Lord was extravagant.

Others said he was just addicted to pleasure.

Some people boldly guessed that although Shen Du's murder was serious, he might not be able to see blood. After all, before he became a Taoist, he was a good person known to everyone.

There are different opinions.

But only Pei Wuji knew, they all guessed wrong.

Shen Duyi came to stretch out his hand to eat and opened his mouth, saying that he was extravagant and extravagant, and he was addicted to pleasure, which was not wrong; but the thick Persian fleece blanket was spread on the top of Hanjue, but it was only because of the practice of the Six Harmonies God Art, the body veins were evil, and some Just chills.

The throne of the Taoist Lord was set at the highest point at the end of the steps.

Dark and wide.

It was covered with more expensive sable fur, and behind it were three dark black long curtains hung from the rock dome, painted with the totems of the sixteen celestial beings.

Pei Wuji's gaze slowly moved from the throne to the totem behind the throne, as if in a trance, without words or movements for a long time.

Just stand with hands behind.

Everyone in the back could only see his palms gently folded behind his waist, with the rough skin of those who practice martial arts hard, and with the dignity that only those in the upper ranks have.

He was wearing a dark red robe.

The color was as deep as it was stained with blood.

Mo Yu's curly hair was originally a sword brow and star eyes, but those tightly pursed lips added a suffocating aura to this face.

The innocence and crampedness of his youth had long since faded from him. Instead, the cruelty and coercion that Nayu slaughtered piled up little by little.

The innocuous knife, which was as long as a crescent moon, was worn on his waist.

If the cloud and thunder pattern on the tip of the blade is filled with blood, it sets off his dangerous and lonely temperament.

Who would have thought

Ten years ago, the boy who was full of hatred on the demon path and endured humiliation with tears in front of everyone will become what he is now, and even possess such a ruthless skill.

Second only to Shen Du, above them.

Now even Shen Du is gone.

As long as he wanted to, he could walk up the steps at any time and sit on a throne that no one else had ever sat on in those ten years. From then on, he became a new Taoist master and wiped away the traces of Shen Du's existence.

Compared with the past, there are many fewer people gathered in the extreme cold today.

Those who are still standing here are obedient.

Those who were disobedient were basically beheaded by Pei Wuji and thrown under the cliff outside to feed the jackals, tigers, leopards, vultures and falcons in the mountains.

Everyone was waiting for him to speak.

But Pei Wuji just stood at the bottom of the steps, looking up like this, without saying a word. It is already the outline of a youth, like his knife, with sharp edges and corners.

Shen Du gave him his knife.

From then on, he became Shen Du's sword.

Traveling through mountains and rivers for him, and dying for him; going through fire and water for him, and being fascinated by him...

Ten years of life and death.

Ten years are endless.

But Pei Wuji didn't remember until he saw the Wushang knife thrust into his body from behind, he forgot to ask Shen Du: "Back then, you dared to kill people in the world, but why did you leave me alone?"

So he regretted it.

He can't be that lone wolf.

From the very beginning, he was a dog raised by Shen alone. Sometimes I long to break free from the bondage, but once I really lose the bondage, I feel at a loss.

He was used to listening to his commands, accustomed to crawl at his feet.

He likes to hear him talk and watch him kill.

Or teach yourself a lesson with a cold face, teach yourself martial arts; or eat candy with lowered eyebrows, and then let someone he doesn't like go to Gu Zhao's side to die; or sit on the edge of the cliff and watch the moon, lonely and cold all over...

He hated him and loved him.

Only now did I realize that I couldn't live without him.

Pei Wuji finally laughed slowly, then murmured, and asked behind him, "Yao Qing, do you think he will come back?"

Chapter 36 Returning to the Demon Dao ┃ At this moment, he admitted that he was his slave and his captive.

The cliff leans against the sky, and the mountain road is rugged.

The maids in charge of sweeping on the Tiantian Cliff just finished their morning work, and they all walked over from the Lonely Moon Pavilion with their eyebrows lowered, holding a copper basin and a towel in their hands.

These days, the situation in the Tao has no influence on them.

After all, their status is low, and it is difficult to have any influence on those big men.

Therefore, even if the various factions are fighting each other, they will not point the butcher's knife at them, so that at this time of crisis, they have become the people on the Tiantian Cliff who need not worry about their own safety the least.

But the fear remains.

Feng Xiao is the one with the highest status among the maids.

Before Shen Du's accident, she was in charge of taking care of the big and small matters around Shen Du, and also in charge of all kinds of trivial matters on Jian Tianya. It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to call her the "Chief Executive of Jian Tianya".

After the accident, she thought she would definitely die, after all, it was Pei Wuji who was behind the plan of the Taoist master.

Following the Taoist master and serving him for so many years, can she still not know what kind of person Pei Zuo Shi is

But she didn't expect—

Not only was he not killed by Pei Wuji, but he survived unscathed, and even continued to take charge of the big and small matters on Jiantian Cliff.

She still remembers that day.

The day after the accident.

The Pei Zuo envoy, who had followed the Taoist all day long, came back with a woundless knife, covered in blood, and his dark red robes were stained darker by the blood. He was clearly full of cold and chilling, but when he passed by Jiantian Cliff, his eyes were full of trance and emptiness...

What kind of look should it look like

Feng Xiao felt that he did not understand.

Just as she didn't understand the relationship between the Taoist master and Pei Zuoshi from the beginning, nor why Pei Zuoshi betrayed the Taoist master, nor did she understand why the Taoist master condoned Pei Zuoshi so much for so many years...

Maybe, this is the reason why the Taoist is the Taoist, the reason why Pei Zuo Shi is Pei Zuo Shi, and he can only be the chief executive of Jiantianya

Nothing bad.

Feng Xiao lowered his eyebrows and sighed softly.

The maids who followed her all had more or less panic on their faces, and only lowered their heads and watched their toes walking, lest one accidentally offend someone and lead to death.

Only Fengxiao is quite calm.

But before she could clear up this slightly complicated mood, a low smile was heard in front of her.

"During the days I was away, did Pei Wuji cut you off, or did you use less? It's been a while since I've seen each other, and she looks like this frowning and sighing..."

Feng Xiao was stunned for a moment, there was a buzzing sound in his head, and he could hardly believe his ears.

She suddenly raised her head and looked straight ahead.

Not far from Guyue Pavilion, at the end is Jiantian Cliff.

A bleak cold wind came out, and the sky was bright, but it couldn't hide the dark figure on the cliff, so there was a familiar shadow at the end of the line of sight.

Feng Xiao's whole body seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.

The man withdrew his gaze from looking out of the cliff, and when he turned his footsteps, he walked towards her.

There was a rare warm smile on her face, her five-fingered slender palm stretched out, and it was a gentle touch on the top of her head, rubbing her soft forehead hair.

"I'm back, don't cry."

Don't cry.

Feng Xiao originally didn't want to cry.

But when I heard his seemingly calm voice with a hint of consolation, it somehow touched a certain heart, no matter what, I couldn't hold it back, my eyes were blurred for a moment, and my eyes were filled with tears.

She is very dignified looking.

Qi bangs, oval face, apricot eyes, Qiong nose and cherry lips, wearing a pale yellow pleated skirt. When he looked at people in Su Ri, he had no expression, and he was able to calm down the people below with a bit of majesty.

But now the tears rolled, and it immediately became pitiful.

It's like an abandoned kitten...

Shen Du suddenly sighed deeply in his heart.

The hand on top of her head didn't know whether to keep it or remove it, but it seemed a little embarrassing for a while. After hesitating for a long time, he touched her head again angrily and funny, and threatened her.

"Cry again, believe it or not, I will sell you?"

"woooooooo..."

After he said these words, Feng Xiao's tears not only did not stop, but they fell even harder, like beads with broken strings, and even cried out loud.

With red eyes, he simply squatted on the ground, hugged his knees, and shrunk into a ball.

Shen Dushou was still in the air.

At this time, one head and two big.

He doesn't coax girls, or rather, he doesn't coax people at all. There has always been only other people coaxing him, where is he going to coax people

So he looked at the rest of the maids behind him.

He wanted to make them coax.

Unexpectedly, when he turned his eyes, the maids were all startled, and they woke up almost immediately, knelt down quickly, put down the utensils in their hands, and kowtowed: "Slave wait to meet the Taoist master!"

"… "

When Shen Du was about to speak, he swallowed it back.

He glanced at Feng Xiao, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just let her continue to cry, walked directly past her, and walked towards Han Jueding.

Han Jueding is on the other side of Jiantian Cliff, not too far away.

After a while, a voice could be heard from inside.

It's Yao Qing.

"… My subordinates only know that the Taoist Lord appeared in the west of Bukong Mountain yesterday and rescued me. But when I asked if I wanted to go back to Tiantian Cliff, I only said that there are still things to deal with, and I will not return for the time being. So, I have to ask The master's whereabouts and plans are really unknown to his subordinates."

There was a bit of hesitation in his voice.

Also, heavy worries and fears!

At the top of Han Jue at this moment, there are not many new disciples. Most of them are people who have known Yao Qing for a long time and are familiar with her usual tone of speech.

Now that I hear it, where can I not hear the difference

Pei Wuji didn't speak for a while, but someone next to him sneered: "Yao Youshi's words are really strange! You have already seen the Daoist, how can you not know where the Daoist went and when he will come back? If he doesn't trust you, will he rescue you?"

The atmosphere in the field suddenly became cold.

Yao Qing turned his head and saw the person who was talking: thick eyebrows, big eyes, tall stature, in this cold weather, he only wore a short brown shirt, bare-chested and bare-chested.

It is Cao Xin, the rudder master of the Jiangyin branch.

When the Taoist was still around, he liked to flatter him, but it was a pity that the Taoist didn't like him, and he always had an indescribable indifference towards him.

Among the rudder masters in the Tao, his position is very awkward.

In his mouth, he said that he was loyal to the Taoist Lord and willing to serve the dog and horse, but when the Taoist leader had an accident, he was the first person to defect to Pei Wuji.

Of course, Pei Wuji would not refuse such a person who "knows current affairs".

In the conflict between factions, many people died, and many sub-rudders were cleaned by Pei Wuji. A lot of the originally tense sites in Daozhong were vacated, and the Jianghuai area was allocated to Cao Xin.

Therefore, Cao Xin should be the most proud of the current helmsmen.

The position of the two envoys on the right and left of Jian Tianya is second only to the Taoist master, but now Cao Xin dared to speak to Yao Qing so rudely, which to a certain extent has explained the special situation in the current demon Taoism.

As usual, Yao Qing would have shot him with a shuttle of poison darts earlier.

But now it can't be done, Pei Wuji is in power in Dao, and she doesn't have the ability to kill people under his nose.

His chest heaved a little, and his breathing was a little suppressed.

Yao Qing scolded inwardly, but forced the turbulent killing intent to return, and said to Cao Xinpi without a smile: "What kind of temperament is the Taoist master, Cao Duozhu should not have a deep sense of it. Do you understand it? He doesn't even want to talk to a shrewd and smooth person like you, the helmsman, so how could he ignore me? If you suspect that I'm lying, you can ask the brothers who were with me that day."

"you!"

What she said was bitter, when Cao Xin heard it, how could she not feel that she was mocking herself with her old hot face and cold butt

A face almost instantly turned into a pig's liver color, it turned out to be angry!

"Ask them? Who doesn't know that those little scoundrels are your confidants? Of course they say what you say! You said that the Lord is still alive, but can you show evidence?!"

There was silence all over the place.

Everyone's eyes fell on Cao Xin, and they could almost guess what he would say next. But the person under the front steps didn't speak, so they naturally thought that the other party had acquiesced in everything Cao Xin said.

It can even be said that Cao Xin's actions are all under his instigation!

Yao Qing is violent.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't have a brain.

As soon as Cao Xin said this, she immediately turned cold: "What do you mean by this, helmsman Cao?!"

"What do you mean?" Cao Xin sneered and stepped forward, "A few days ago, the Taoist leader led the right way to kill Gu Zhao from Pengshan. He was seriously injured and fled to the Bukong Mountain. You said that the Lord appeared to rescue at a critical moment. After you, not only are you safe and sound, but also your skills have improved! Is Yao Youshi really thinking that I am a fool? I am afraid that you don’t know what evil intentions you have hidden, and you make up such nonsense to disturb the military heart of my Taoism, don’t have a sinister plot!”

"The surname is Cao!"

Yao Qing's brows stood on end, and he was on the verge of exploding.

But Cao Xin didn't stop.

Even the louder he said, the louder he even pointed at Yao Qing!

"What? I have a guilty conscience and was told by me?! Everyone knows what day it is today: over the years, which of the Daozhong affairs has not been handled by Pei Zuo envoy? He can be said to be dedicated and conscientious for Daozhong. Although we are deeply saddened by the accident of the Lord, how can there be so many things in Tianya, how can there be no one for a day? Yao Youshi clearly knows that Pei Zuoshi's promotion to the position of Taoist is what everyone expects, but he has to make up the Taoist to be safe. The rumors of his heart can be punished!"

Yao Qing was too angry to speak.

Cao Xin's expression of pride was that Yao Qing could not refute, let alone do anything, so he was extraordinarily arrogant.

When he had time to speak, he quietly glanced at Pei Wuji in front of him. Seeing that Pei Wuji was just standing and did not refute, he felt that the other party had acquiesced in all his actions, and felt even more encouraged.

As a result, the words in the mouth became more and more tricky and hypocritical.

"Cao knows that because Pei Zuo envoy occupies the position of Zuo envoy, Yao You, who was originally a left envoy, has a lot of dissatisfaction with Pei Zuo envoy. But the overall situation is currently in the high position of my Taoism, and there is no doubt about it. Those who are able to live in the place. Pei Zuo Shi's ability over the years, everyone sees it, can't he be the master of Taoism?!"

"Who doesn't want Daoist to be okay?"

"I hope too. If I can change the Taoist master in one death, I will not hesitate to die!"

This is just an assumption.

When Cao Xin said it, he didn't feel guilty at all. Because he knew his next sentence would be "but it's impossible".

The purpose of all the words was just to take advantage of the opportunity of today's big gathering to help Pei Wuji sit on the position of Taoist Master and make a great contribution.

So, how could he lose his benefits in the future

Just thinking about it made his heart boil.

At this time, the following words were almost blurted out, only to raise his arms, shouting and begging Pei Zuo Shi to take charge of the Demon Dao and ascend to the position of Dao Master.

But who would have thought that at the moment when he opened his mouth and was about to speak!

A familiar voice, like a curse, like a nightmare, actually sounded from behind him and from outside Han Jue Ding!

Creepy!

"Oh?"

The tail sound is a little higher, and it seems to have a little interesting meaning, but when you go deeper, it feels full of icy cold!

"Don't hesitate to die! Cao Duozhu is so loyal and loyal, it seems that the Taoist master in Japan has been treated poorly..."

Yao Qing's face, which was originally tense with anger, immediately burst into infinite surprise.

She turned around and looked over.

But the rest of the people who were standing on the top of the cold extreme shivered in unison, and even their legs were weak, and they collapsed to the ground in fright. don't get up!

this sound...

How could they not hear it

In the past ten years, it has changed from youthful to mature, from nervous to calm, and it has always sounded above their heads, always sounded at this extremely cold height, and always sounded at the very top of the steps!

The owner of this voice controls their life and death, dominates the entire demonic way, and thus affects the overall situation of the entire Jianghu and the world...

Turn over your hands to make clouds, and cover your hands to make rain!

A word is like a life and death order; a word is like a judge's pen!

They didn't even dare to look at him directly, so their voices towards him became more and more profound. It seems that the ups and downs of the tone and the change of the timbre have been deeply cast into every pore, every inch of their bones...

Once heard, all that remains is—

Bow down!

The smile on Cao Xin's face didn't even have time to bloom. At this moment, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a "pop", sweat dripping on his forehead.

He wants to say something.

But when I opened my mouth, I found that my tongue was shaking and rolling, and I couldn't make a sound.

"pat, pat..."

The footsteps were slow.

He walked over like a stroll.

But when everyone listened to it, they only felt that their heartbeats were controlled by them, and they beat violently!

Yao Qing first knelt down and bowed: "My subordinates pay their respects to the Taoist Lord, and welcome the Taoist Lord's return!"

Her crisp and refreshing voice echoed through the cut-out mountainside, contrasting the terrifying silence on top of Hanjue.

At this moment, everyone's heart is struggling.

Shen Du walked over from the outside step by step. Although he didn't look at these people, he could clearly understand their panic and fear at the moment.

Those who knelt silently were all his subordinates.

The floor was covered with his favorite Persian rug.

The throne on the front steps was also something he was used to sitting on.

So walking here, he didn't panic at all.

here-

It's his magic way.

Passing by Yao Qing, he just raised his hand casually, indicating that she could get up, but his eyes didn't stop on her, not even the arrogant Cao Xin just now.

Shen Du's eyes only fell on the front.

When he walked in, the figure standing under the steps had already turned around, just quietly watching him approach.

This was the first time he looked at Pei Wuji from this angle.

In the past, he was sitting on the high throne, looking down at him from above, or watching him bow his head in front of him, or drink the Wangyou water, and he didn't want to remember anything when he was confused.

So I didn't realize that he was already so tall.

A little more than an inch taller than him.

The boy's anger faded, and the one standing under the steps was a calm young man.

The murderous aura between his brows, which was contaminated by the killing, was very similar to Shen Du himself, but in comparison, it added a dash of Shen Ning's obscure coldness.

Most of the time, he is quiet.

Like a beast hiding in the dark.

He has a sturdy body full of scars, and inside it contains a violent and hot explosive force, but on the outside it looks like a silent and deep black stone and an ancient well.

Cold and fiery intertwined.

contradiction.

Just like the way he looked at himself at the moment, it blended sadness and joy, as if he was finally relieved, and as if he had fallen into the abyss of pain again. He wanted to struggle, but he was willing to indulge.

Shen Du stopped and looked at him.

The two were six feet apart.

But Pei Wuji slowly walked towards him, one step, two steps, three steps, and came to him.

The sharp long eyebrows stretched out, and a pair of thick ink-like eyes seemed to be full of stars.

Obviously not smiling, but it gives people a sense of happiness.

The lines of his tightly pursed lips slowly parted, and the prominent Adam's apple rolled up and down. Looking at Shen Du, he almost thought he was in a dream, and even the voice calling him was in an illusory trance: "Daoist..."

"Snapped!"

The hoarse voice didn't even have time to say more!

Shen Du glanced at him indifferently, and in front of everyone on top of Han Jue, he raised his hand and slapped him in the face!

Unprepared, Pei Wuji almost stumbled to the ground!

Yao Qing was stunned.

Cao Xin was also stunned.

Near and far, everyone was stunned!

Everyone knows that Pei Wuji is a dog of Shen Du, but they have never seen Shen Du embarrass Pei Wuji in front of everyone, and they always teach him in private.

Today still the first time.

Moreover, at this time, Pei Wuji had almost grasped the entire Demon Dao in his hands. It was obvious that most of the people at the top of Hanjue belonged to him, and it seemed that Shen Du was the one who was in a disadvantageous position!

Can be…

Whether it was them or Pei Wuji himself, they all took it for granted.

It seems that only Shen Du, and only Shen Du, has the confidence to act arrogantly, and the ability to act so arrogantly in this demonic way.

This palm is hard.

Pei Wuji's mouth immediately tasted bloody, but at this time, he actually felt very happy in his heart.

Shen Du didn't seem to see his embarrassment, and only said lightly, "Get up."

Pei Wuji wiped off the blood on his lips, lowered his eyebrows, rested his palms on the ground, pressed the soft fleece below, and then straightened up again.

But not standing.

He knelt down in front of Shen Du.

Shen Du asked him, "The one who stabbed me from behind, is it you?"

Pei Wuji replied, "Yes."

"Snapped!"

A heavier slap fell over!

Shen Du laughed: "Although I know you are an unfamiliar wolf, I also keep you as a dog. I think you haven't done anything in the past ten years, and you probably won't do anything to me in the future. Who would have thought of you? Not only did he do it, but he still couldn't kill me! If your hands and feet are not clean, you won't be able to kill people! After all these years, you have learned this way. Did I teach you that!"

Pei Wuji straightened up again, swallowed the bloody breath that came up, and replied calmly, "No."

"Snapped!"

The third slap!

Still fall in the least bit of affection!

The attack was ruthless, but there was still a little smile on his lips.

This demeanor is the most familiar to everyone.

The evil and surly who belong to the masters of the demons and the Taoists.

Shen Du didn't have the slightest fluctuation on his face, nor the slightest pity in his eyes, so he asked the third question: "After I did something to me, although I eliminated my dissidents, I kept Feng Xiao and Yao Qing. Poison, I thought you could fight to the end and try to usurp the throne while I was away. You are good, more than 20 days have passed, and you are still a 'Pei Zuo envoy'! If you keep breaking down, you will suffer from chaos! That's what I teach is it yours?"

"… no."

Pei Wuji blinked and fell off his slap. It was clearly painful, but he didn't feel it at all. After answering his words, he slowly bent his lips.

It was a soothing smile.

There is a strange warmth.

He still knelt in front of him, the brilliance in the bottom of his eyes seemed to turn into fragile glass at this moment, softening his cold outline, and then stretched out his hand and grabbed his right hand.

He had just hit his right hand without mercy.

Since he hit Jian Tianya, the Shen Du in Pei Wuji's cognition is the one who doesn't touch the spring water with ten fingers, greedy for enjoyment, learning to plan, and learning martial arts...

Can kill without blinking, but can't cook a bite to eat.

Therefore, his hands are very beautiful, and every knuckle is like a craftsman who has carefully crafted it.

Shen Du would kill no more than three times, beat someone three times, and curse no more than three sentences. But it is always killing before beating, and beating before scolding.

Just like a genius.

Give him a slap first, and then ask him to see if the slap should be slapped.

Pei Wuji's understanding of him is too deep, even more than his understanding of himself.

so that...

Only at this moment did I understand my heart.

Little by little, he opened Shen Du's naturally curled slender fingers, then lowered his head and leaned up, kissing his slightly red palm with almost pilgrimage-like devotion.

For the first time, I don't care, I don't care what others think.

At this moment, he admitted that he was his slave and his captive.

Shen Du looked at him coldly.

Didn't speak, didn't move.

Pei Wuji stretched out his hand, hugged him gently, and put his head on his waist: "Shen Du, I was wrong. Don't be angry, okay?"
