Shen Qiao never thought that his meeting with Yan Wushi would be under such circumstances.
After listening to what Bianbianmei said earlier, Shen Qiao didn't say anything, it was impossible not to have an association in her heart.
In the heyday of Yan Wushi's martial arts, he might be slightly inferior to the Hulu Gu, but this is not a certainty. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the master's move depends on the right time and place. It is very likely that the whole result will be reversed, but if Yan Wushi's demon heart has not been repaired well, this slight gap will widen, and the possibility of losing will also increase.
Shen Qiao thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of any way to make Yan Wushi win without losing.
This is impossible in the first place, not to mention that the opponent is Hulu Gu, his master Qi Fengge is reincarnated, and he can't guarantee that he will definitely win.
Just like that, when he was full of thoughts outside Bie Zhuang in Funing County and stood beside the hidden courtyard gate, he heard a lazy voice from inside: "No, A Qiao, don't bite that one."
Ah Qiao? Don't bite
Shen Qiao was confused, pushed the door open, and saw Yan Wushi leaning on the soft mattress under the porch, holding a jade pot filled with wine in one hand, and supporting his body with the elbow of the other hand, his face full of comfort and leisure, Hearing the movement at the door, he raised his head and saw Shen Qiao and Yu Shengyan coming in.
In front of him stood a little deer, the kind that can't walk steadily on the road. It was screaming. It was a bit like a sheep, and it was a little lower. The deer stretched its neck and bit the jade pot, and saw Yan Wushi. .
Shen Qiao stayed for a moment, completely not expecting that a person who was about to fight with the number one master in the world would have no sense of urgency at all, to actually be so leisurely... teasing the deer.
"A Qiao?" Yan Wushi saw Shen Qiao and Yu Shengyan, directly ignored the one behind him, and waved to Shen Qiao: "You are here just in time, I'll let someone open a jar of mulberry wine, this is what I buried ten years ago. down."
Xiaolu thought he was calling him, so he let go of the jade pot and leaned over. Yan Wushi pushed his head away, and there was some grievance in his wet dark eyes.
Shen Qiao reached out and touched it, but the little deer was not afraid of life, and rubbed his neck against Shen Qiao's palm. Shen Qiao suspected that he had just heard it wrong, and couldn't help asking, "Does it have a name?"
Yan Wushi: "Yes, it's called A Qiao."
Shen Qiao: "..."
Yan Wushi smiled and said, "Don't you think it looks a lot like you?"
Shen Qiao glanced at the little deer. The other party was a sika deer. Before the long horns, even a pair of ears were fluffy and soft, and there was a pinch of white hair on the neck, especially those eyes, which were pure and innocent. He is full of trust and dependence on human beings, and cute is cute, but Shen Qiao didn't see the slightest similarity with himself.
"I heard that you have an appointment with Hulu?" Shen Qiao went straight to the topic.
Although it is a question, but in fact the answer has been revealed, this sentence is just the opening remarks.
Yan Wushi: "Yes."
This "yes" deserves it and is very casual, as if he is going to a date to enjoy the flowers and listen to the snow, rather than a decisive battle of life and death.
Yu Shengyan didn't come in very wisely, and after bowing to Yan Wushi, he went to Zhuangzi, leaving the two of them in the courtyard.
Plus a deer.
Shen Qiao rushed over and was unknowingly infected by him at this time, his emotions gradually calmed down, and he sat down beside him, but the posture of sitting upright was obviously different from Yan Wushi's casual.
Yan Wushi looked a little funny: "Are you worried about me, Ah Qiao?"
The little deer thought he was calling it again, and came over with his calf.
Shen Qiao: "..."
Yan Wushi couldn't help laughing.
Shen Qiao said helplessly: "I have something I want to discuss with Sect Master Yan."
Yan Wushi stopped laughing, and the brilliance in his eyes flowed: "Oh? Headmaster Shen is very valuable now, what is the need to use the word negotiation?"
Shen Qiao said slowly: "In the battle with Hulu, I will go for you, can I?"
It is rare for Yan Wushi to be stunned, although it lasts for a short time.
He recovered quickly: "You played against him last time." And lost.
Shen Qiao: "I know, but 20 years ago he fought with his master. Twenty years later, although the master is no longer there, I should continue this battle in his place."
Yan Wushi suddenly laughed: "Do you actually think that in order to divert Hulu Gu and not let him go to Xuandu Mountain to find trouble with you, that's why I sent him a battle letter?"
Shen Qiao: "I heard that the flaw in your demon heart has not been repaired yet. The last time you fought with Xueting, it actually made things worse."
Yan Wushi's face flashed a flash of unknown meaning: "What did Bianbianmei tell you?"
Shen Qiao nodded.
Yan Wushi fell into deep thought, thinking about whether he should admit his apprentice's words, or directly say that his apprentice was lying.
After admitting it, Shen Qiao definitely insisted more on fighting Hulu Gu instead of himself.
Said that the apprentice was lying, then Shen Qiao would definitely be angry.
Thinking of this, Yan Wushi felt for the first time that it was not a good thing to have an apprentice who was too capable, but if there was something, the apprentice would do it.
So he said: "Last time you felt the wrist pulse yourself, my injury is not serious."
He stretched out his hand.
Shen Qiao took advantage of the situation, probed for a moment, and revealed doubts on his face: "Only from the pulse, your injury has indeed recovered almost, but whether the flaw in the devil's heart is repaired or not, it should be impossible to tell."
Yan Wushi: "It's ready."
Shen Qiao was even more puzzled: "Yanmei over there doesn't know that you are alright?"
Yan Wushi: "Maybe."
Shen Qiao: "You could have avoided this battle, or delayed it a little longer." After all, it was because of him.
Yan Wushi smiled, but suddenly raised his chin slightly, and clicked on Haitang on the other side: "What do you think of that flower?"
Shen Qiao: "Bright and shining, crimson and enchanting."
Yan Wushi picked up the fallen leaves next to him, flicked his fingers, and a begonia fell to the ground.
Once again, another begonia fell to the ground.
Flying flowers and fallen leaves can all be turned into sharp weapons. This sentence is most vividly reflected in Yan Wushi.
After a few times, even Shen Qiao couldn't stand it any longer, so he grabbed the opponent's wrist and said, "What are you doing!"
Yan Wushi: "Destroy the flowers!"
His tone was still lazy, but his posture didn't move, his hands didn't struggle, he just let Shen Qiao hold it.
Shen Qiao: "The flower is blooming well, and it didn't provoke you, so why hurt it?"
Yan Wushi laughed: "Look, Ah Qiao, this is the biggest difference between you and me."
"In my opinion, that flower has already bloomed at its best. If it continues to bloom, it will only wither every day. I will send it on the road and keep its most beautiful season in your heart, isn't it good?"
His tone was casual and slow. He didn't move his wrist, and he let Shen Qiao squeeze, but his five fingers folded together, making a smashing motion, and the leaf immediately turned into powder and fell from the gap between his fingers.
"Many people spend their days working as flies and dogs, entangled in the calculation of small profits, and they are often unable to get through with themselves. This is the sadness of the little people. People in Jianghu say happiness and enmity, but in other words, it is also to get rid of the sorrow of the little people. Live vigorously and do whatever you want, what's the point of that? And people and flowers are the same."
"I was able to challenge Cui Youli and Qi Fengge back then, but now I can naturally challenge Hulu Gu. The outcome is certainly suspenseful, but it is precisely because of the suspense that it is even more exciting. If the outcome is determined, what is the difference between that and a pool of stagnant water? So this battle, of course, has your factor, but more importantly, for myself."
Having said that, Shen Qiao naturally could no longer persuade him.
Shen Qiao is very clear that Yan Wushi and him are two people with completely different temperaments. He himself pays attention to step by step, but Yan Wushi always likes surprises, even risking his own life, but Yan Wushi himself He didn't think it was an adventure, he actually enjoyed the process, even if he died under Hulu Gu's hands, it wouldn't hurt. For him, this was the way of life.
For many people, this is too confident and arrogant, but this is Yan Wushi.
Just when he thought so, he heard Yan Wushi say: "A Qiao, do you know?"
"Huh?" Shen Qiao recovered.
Yan Wushi: "In the past, I divided people into two categories."
Shen Qiao snorted, and he knew: "One is opponents, and the other is ants."
The opponent can be on an equal footing with him, and the ants are not in his eyes.
The former Shen Qiao was like an ant in his eyes.
Yan Wushi said leisurely: "But now, my thinking has changed. A Qiao, you are different from most people in this world. You have a kind of compassion in your bones, and you are even willing to sacrifice yourself for others without asking for anything in return. I used to think that you were different from others. Just like people, even if you are good and innocent at first, but the world is changing, you will eventually learn to change, but you are far beyond my expectations. Human affairs are like flowing water, you are the rock, no matter how the water flows, you are also the same. will never transfer."
Shen Qiao smiled: "It's rare to hear good things about me from Sect Master Yan, it's really not easy, Pindao is deeply honored."
Yan Wushi: "Do you still have old grudges against me in your heart?"
Shen Qiao shook his head: "No, on the contrary, I admire you very much, there are not many people in this world who can live arbitrarily, and Sect Master Yan must be one of them. Before I went down the mountain, what I knew about the world and the rivers and lakes was only told by my teacher. I have never seen my side of the world with my own eyes, without the teachings of Sect Master Yan, I might not be able to live here to talk to you now."
That solemn and serious look and tone made Yan Wushi very cute, he didn't reluctantly restrain his desire to reach out, he just touched Shen Qiao's head: "So you still don't admit it looks like you? Look back yourself. Look at it."
There are many smart people in this world, but there are not many people who are self-aware and can find their own shortcomings. When they find their shortcomings, they are willing to correct them, and even fewer people are willing to speak out.
In Shen Qiao, there is a kind of transparency that is almost like glass.
In fact, he understands everything, and is willing to treat and tolerate all people and things different from himself with kindness and tolerance.
Shen Qiao was caught off guard by being touched by him, he first avoided it, and then looked back subconsciously.
The little deer is staring at him with round eyes, his figure is clearly reflected in the dark and wet.
Shen Qiao's heart softened suddenly, he reached out and touched the other's neck, the deer lowered his head and licked his palm, Shen Qiao couldn't help laughing.
Yan Wushi: "Thank you, Ah Qiao."
Who in the world is fortunate enough to hear Sect Master Yan express his thanks
Shen Qiao was slightly startled and looked back at him.
Yan Wushi looked at him with a smile: "Thank you for rescuing me with virtue. I can't count how many times you have saved me. Shouldn't I say thank you?"
Shen Qiao: "You have also saved me many times, so why thank you?"
Yan Wushi is meaningful: "So, our friendship has reached the point where there is no need to express gratitude?"
Shen Qiao only felt that something was wrong, but couldn't figure out what was wrong.
I saw Yan Wushi suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled him, and pressed the person under him.
Before Shen Qiao could react, he heard the other party say: "You know that I have made countless enemies, and you are the only one in terms of life and friendship. I will fight with Hulu, and life and death are unpredictable. I can only think of you."
The warm breath that was so close at hand sprayed directly on Shen Qiao's face. He was completely stunned. He didn't know whether to push him away first or to react to Yan Wushi's words first. At that moment, his head went blank. .
"What, what is Tuogu?"
