After being dismissed by Shen Qiao before, Chen Gong sent people over twice. The first time, he was more polite and said that he wanted to invite Shen Qiao to visit the Pengcheng county government. After they searched around, they left angrily. The second time, the other party was less polite and arrogant. Chen Gong still knew Shen Qiao and knew that he was a temperament who did not want to implicate others. The little apprentice brought it back. If Shen Qiao knew about it, he would definitely take the initiative to come to the door.
Unexpectedly, Guanzhu had already expected that he took two apprentices to hide in the cellar, and Chen Gong's people fluttered. The other party thought that Guanzhu and the others had escaped overnight.
The first day of the first day was not as quiet as the fifteenth day. After staying in the cellar for a few days, I couldn’t stand it. The light was dim and the air was murky. It was indeed not as comfortable as the ground. Let the spectator promise him to go out to the market, and the spectator also specially instructed him not to come back too early.
Who knows if it is a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, even if you are tiptoeing when you come back in the first year of the new year, it is impossible for people to not notice the martial arts of the past.
Because the other party spoke, Shen Qiao's complexion also changed.
"Little Taoist priest, do you live here?"
"Who are you?" Chu Yi asked.
There are two holes in the cellar for the people in it to breathe. The people who originally built it also gave it a special structure, so that people in the cellar can hear the movement outside, but it is difficult to find this hidden place outside.
Who is he? The watcher saw Shen Qiao's expression and asked silently.
Shen Qiao covered her mouth to resist the urge to cough, and quickly wrote a few words on the table with her hands dipped in water: Xiao Se, under the Hehuan Sect, disciple of Yuan Xiuxiu, I was injured by fighting against Sang Jingxing.
Yuan Xiuxiu and Sang Jingxing certainly had conflicts, but they were both members of the Hehuan Sect. It was hard for Shen Qiao to imagine what would happen if Xiao Se suddenly came to the door.
Fifteen is still a little unclear, but the watcher understands it, his complexion is blue and white, and he has become powerful.
When he was staying overnight, Shen Qiao was just ordinary Taoist priests. He didn't know that the other party was probably also a person from the rivers and lakes.
But at this moment, the identity of the other party is not important. What is important is that Xiao Se is coming to the door now. It must be a bad person, and nine times out of ten, it is coming to Shen Qiao.
"My name is Xiao Se." They heard each other say softly, like a visitor, not a troublemaker. "Little Taoist priest, have you ever met a person named Shen Qiao?"
"No, no!"
Xiao Se laughed: "Little Taoist priest, you don't even know how to lie. After all, where is he?"
Chu Chu said loudly: "I don't know who you are, go out quickly, or when my master comes back, he will kill you!"
Xiao Se didn't have any anger, and said softly: "If you don't tell me, I will have to take you back to communicate with Elder Sang. He is very angry now. He has killed three of those beauties by him. I'm worried about no one. You can vent your anger to the old man, don't do such a stupid thing for a Shen Qiao!"
On the other side of the cellar, the spectator stubbornly held down Shen Qiao who wanted to get out of bed, so strong that Shen Qiao couldn't resist at all.
"Listen to me!" He lowered his voice and put his mouth against Shen Qiao's ear, "The people of the Hehuan Sect are bloodthirsty, they won't let the first day of the first year just because you go out, you can only catch up with the two of you, you Stay here, take care of Fifteen, and I'll go out!"
Shen Qiao knew that what the other party said was the truth, but he couldn't imagine that he was hiding here safely and letting others face the things that he was supposed to undertake.
He shook his head, just as he was about to say that he was desperate to save the first year of the first year of the first year, but the watcher shot at his acupuncture point as quickly as lightning, and quickly took out something from his arms and stuffed it into his hand: "If anything happens, you He took Fifteen to the Bixia Sect of Mount Tai, and said that Zhu Lengquan, an unworthy disciple, had accepted his disciple outside and asked him to go back to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestry, and re-arrange the gates and walls."
After the master finished speaking, he also clicked the fifteen acupuncture points on the way, and said to them: "My technique is not heavy, I will be able to solve it in about a quarter of an hour, Shen Qiao, I have entrusted fifteen to you, you remember this responsibility.”
After saying that, he got up and left the cellar without looking back.
The door from the cellar leads to several directions. To avoid going out directly and being discovered by the other party, the spectator deliberately walked out through the exit in another room.
"It's getting dark, who's disturbing people's dreams!" He stretched his waist and looked sleepy. "Who are you, why are you holding on to my apprentice?"
"Master!" The shoulders of the first day were pinched by Xiao Se in his hands, and when he saw the figure of the watcher, tears almost came out.
"You are the spectator here?" Xiao Se asked.
"That's right, who are you?" The spectator frowned, "What is wrong with my apprentice, it's up to my master to apologize to you, and please let him go."
Xiao Se didn't let go, his eyes swept across the sword in the hands of the watcher, and smiled slightly: "Where is Shen Qiao?"
Viewer: "Who is Shen Qiao? I've never heard of this person."
Xiao Se narrowed his eyes: "Everyone is a sensible person. It's not good for you to play stupid. You said that if I crushed your apprentice's shoulder now, would he not be able to bear the pain and give the person you want to hide? betrayed?"
His subordinates worked hard, and on the first day of the first year, he began to greet the desolate ancestors of the eighteenth generation with various market slang.
"Stop!" The watcher no longer hesitated, and drew his sword out of the scabbard, the blade swayed slightly, and flew towards the opponent.
Xiao Se didn't let go of the first day of the first year. He was holding a person in his hand, but his speed was not slow at all. , I just forced to ask Shen Qiao's whereabouts, anyway, this little Taoist is not bad, and I bring it back is enough for my master."
There was a coquettish smile on the side: "Senior Brother Xiao, although your master is the master of the sect, he is not as powerful as my master in the sect. I think it is better for you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and worship my master instead!"
Xiao Se groaned and didn't answer.
The spectator's face changed drastically.
With laughter, two more people appeared in front of him.
A person dressed in white, cute and sweet, is Bairong who has dealt with Shen Qiao several times.
There is another person, although the bald head is not a monk, the clothes are more gorgeous than the ordinary children of aristocratic families, and they look a bit out of place.
But the spectator did not dare to look down on him because he dressed strangely, because he also recognized the identity of this person.
Another troublesome figure in the Hehuan Sect, Yan Shou.
His nickname is "Blood-hand Buddha Son", which means that he looks dignified like a Buddhist son, but his heart is cruel like a devil.
Although Yan Shou is not as perverted as Huo Xijing, he likes to strip people's skin all day long, but the people he has killed are not necessarily fewer than Huo Xijing.
Obviously, although Sang Jingxing was severely injured by Shen Qiao, he hated Shen Qiao so much that he naturally wanted to send his disciples to find him.
If there was only Xiao Xie alone, the Guanzhu asked himself that he might still fight with the opponent and force him to retreat, but now there are two more, with one-on-three, he dare not have such a certainty.
"Hand over Shen Qiao." Yan Shou said.
I don't know how he acted. The person who was still in Xiao Se's hands was in Yan Shou's hands in a blink of an eye. His martial arts skills were low on the first day of the first year. , but no matter how he shouted, he did not say the whereabouts of Shen Qiao and Shi Shi.
Guanzhu's heart is like a knife, and he doesn't care about his own strength and weakness, and the sword flower stabs it with one pull.
It was Bai Rong who fought with him, not Yan Shou.
She was originally a talented person, and she entered the country a thousand miles away. Now her martial arts skills are much higher than when Shen Qiao saw her before. After being smashed by the spectator's sword, it blooms again, endlessly, as if it will never end.
The watcher was sweating on his forehead. He could still handle the battle with Bai Rong, but Yan Shou and Xiao Se were standing next to him, which made him feel a lot of pressure. He knew very well that even if Bai Rong was repelled, these two would still take action at any time. .
If he let go now, he might still be able to retreat, but on the first day of the new year, it is impossible for the spectator to ignore it.
Seeing his weakness, Yan Shou increased his strength and said, "What about Shen Qiao's whereabouts?"
On the first day, there was another cry of pain.
Guanzhu's heart trembled, and his hands also shook. Bai Rong stared at the gap and placed a palm on his chest. He vomited blood and stepped back three steps.
"I don't know what a Shen Qiao is! You guys are unreasonable, and you will do it when you come up. Our master and apprentice will provoke anyone in this broken place!"
Xiao Se suddenly smiled and said, "Elder Yan, do you think his hand looks like someone from the Bixia Sect of Mount Tai?"
Yan Shou: "Well, it's a bit like."
Xiao Se: "How can people from the Bixia Sect of Mount Tai come here to hide their names, is it an abandoned apprentice who was expelled from the teacher's sect?"
Guanzhu's heart slammed, and he sneered: "Yes, I am Bixia Zongzhu Lengquan, and the current Zhao Zongzhu is my nephew. If you have contacts with Bixia Zong, please let us master and apprentice. I should invite the suzerain to come forward and thank you!"
Xiao Se laughed: "I'm sorry, I disappointed you, we have nothing to do with Bixia Sect, and for today's matter, you will hold grudges anyway, so why don't we make things more extreme?"
The words fell, and Yan Shou printed a palm on the top of Chu Yi's head.
The first time he had a nosebleed, he didn't even have time to make a sound, so he fell silently.
"The first day of the first year!!!" Guanzhu's eyes were splitting and his heart was piercing, and he rushed to Yan Shou with a sword without even thinking about it.
Yan Shou didn't move, what moved was bleak.
The folding fan brush unfolded in Xiao Se's hand, and even the sharp blades on the fan bones came out, flickering with a chilling cold light, and when he raised his wrist, the folding fan automatically flew towards the spectator, as if he had self-consciousness, sending him round and round. surrounded.
The spectator was full of grief, and his swordsmanship actually showed a level that he did not usually have. Back then in Bixia Sect, he was considered to be mediocre and unwilling to work hard. It's not good that the last few styles can't satisfy the teacher no matter what.
But now, if the elders of the late Bixia Sect were here and saw the swordsmanship he used, they would be shocked.
In front of this person, where is the shadow of mediocre qualifications
Accompanied by the continuous light of the sword, the body of the sword rippling with dazzling light and shadow, if the first day of the new year is here, it will definitely shout, "Master, I have never seen you such a breeze."
But the first day is dead.
He won't speak again, won't be annoying, won't be lazy and stop working.
The spectator's eyes were red, and his every move was murderous.
But his sword light couldn't even break through the bleak fan blade, and he was beaten back.
When he didn't notice, his wrist was cut with a long slit by the fan blade, and he involuntarily let go.
The sword fell with a clang.
Xiao Se retracted his fan and hit the opponent's chest with his elbows. When the spectator retreated, he grabbed his shoulders and dragged him forward, instantly sealing the three large acupoints in his chest, making him kneel on the ground and unable to move.
"You can see it now, we didn't come with you, your apprentice is dead, you probably won't want to follow in his footsteps, right?" Xiao Se said with a smile, "What is the charm of Shen Qiao, it's worth your sacrifice Do you want to hide your life for him?"
The Guanzhu spit out a mouthful of blood at him: "Bah! What Shen Qiao Zhangqiao, I said I don't know, you don't understand human words!"
Xiao Se lost his smile, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, slowly wiped the blood from his face, and suddenly cut off the viewer's left ear with lightning speed.
The spectator who was hit with a dumb acupoint even released the screams, and could only open his mouth wide, his eyes wide open, and stared at him desperately.
Xiao Se squatted down and looked at him at the same level: "You have also realized the methods of the Hehuan Sect. A Shen Qiao is worth your life? Tell his whereabouts, I will let you live, and we are all well."
It took him a while before he unraveled the spectator's dumb hole.
The watcher was panting, his ears still bleeding, and he was in a state of embarrassment.
"I said... I don't know Shen Qiao!"
Bai Rong suddenly smiled and said, "Senior Brother Xiao, why are you talking nonsense with him? Even if he wants to hide people, he will hide them in this Taoist temple. We can't find them anywhere?"
She said to Yan Shou again: "Don't bother Elder Yan to do it yourself, and Senior Brother Xiao and I will find it."
Yan Shou didn't speak or move, so she acquiesced to her words.
Bai Rong entered the room where the Guanzhu walked out just now, and after a while, she came out and said, "I didn't find any organs inside. I don't think anyone could hide there."
Xiao Se looked for several other places, but found nothing.
This Taoist temple is in ruins and dilapidated, but the victory lies in the greatness of the place. If someone hides in a hidden place, it may not be discovered for a while, not to mention that such ancient Taoist temples generally have secret escape routes.
Yan Shou wasted on impatiently: "Give you half a stick of incense, and you will die if you don't talk about it."
The spectator did not speak.
The half stick of incense quickly passed, and Bairong and bleak came back one after another, saying that they found nothing.
Xiao Se squinted at Bai Rong: "Junior Sister Bai, there are a lot of places you went to look for. Did you see something, but deliberately said that you didn't see it? I remember that you seem to have friendship with Shen Qiao."
Bai Rong smiled instead: "Senior Brother Xiao said this so strangely, what kind of friendship can I have with Shen Qiao? If it is said that fighting is friendship, doesn't Senior Brother Xiao also have friendship with Shen Qiao?"
Xiao Se: "You..."
Yan Shou frowned: "Stop arguing!"
He looked at the viewer: "Are you going to tell me?"
The spectator sneered: "You mad beasts, not to mention that I don't know anything about Shen Qiao, even if I knew, I killed my apprentice for you, and treated me like this, I won't tell you! You think martial arts Gao can do whatever he wants... Bah! If you have the ability to kill me, one day, you will get retribution...!"
Before the word "Ying" was finished, Yan Shou slapped him on the top of his head.
The skull shattered, blood flowed down the top of his head, through his eyes staring at Yan Shou, and finally into the collar.
Dead restless.
The corpses of the master and the apprentice were only a few feet away, but they could never get closer.
Yan Shou didn't even look at the corpse, and turned to Bai Rong: "You didn't find anything just now?"
Under the sharp eyes of the other party, Bairong seemed to be unaffected by it, and said with a smile: "I really didn't find it. If you don't believe it, Elder Yan and Senior Brother Xiao will look for it? Maybe I missed it."
In the cellar, Shen Qiao and Shi Shi's acupuncture points had been untied, the latter burst into tears and trembled all over.
Shen Qiao tightly covered his mouth, preventing him from making any sound, even though he was crying, he desperately pulled him back.
Fifteen struggled hard at first, until Guan Zhu was killed, he seemed to have lost the last bit of strength, and let Shen Qiao pull him away without any resistance.
The two stumbled and stumbled all the way forward in the dark secret passage. Shen Qiao's serious illness was not healed, and the meridians had not even been repaired. They had to drag a fifteen who was not much lighter than themselves. It was being pulled by someone with iron ropes, step by step, as if it was a lifetime of hardships.
I don't know how long it took, maybe it didn't take long, but Shen Qiao felt like he had walked half his life.
His hands trembled slightly, and he opened the stone gate that had been sealed for an unknown number of years, dragged Fifteen out, and then groped for the mechanism in the hidden grass. Following the Lord's previous instructions, he closed the stone gate from the outside.
In this way, even if Yan Shou and others found that the secret passage had been traced to the end, the stone gate could not be opened from the inside.
The outside of the secret road leads to the foot of the other side of Bailong Mountain. The time in between is enough for them to find a place to hide, or to escape calmly.
After doing all this, Shen Qiao let go, leaned on the stone and coughed violently, only to feel pain everywhere, as if he had just been tortured, he didn't even have the strength to stand up, only after spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, Just now, the stagnant chest felt relieved.
Looking at Fifteen again, I was still immersed in extreme sadness, curled up around my knees, buried my face in it, and cried so much that my whole body trembled.
Shen Qiao sighed and touched his head: "I'm sorry, if it wasn't for me, Brother Zhu and the first day would not have died tragically. Even for them, let's leave now, okay? When everything is safe, I You can kill and fight, you can do whatever you want."
Fifteen cried and raised his head: "Master and the first year, they will never survive again, will they?"
There were tears in Shen Qiao's eyes, but she clenched her teeth and did not let it fall. Under the agitation of her heart, there was a smell of sweetness in her throat.
"Yes, they can't survive, but they want you to live well. If you are caught by those people like this, how can you be worthy of them?"
Fifteen didn't make a sound, only wept silently. After a while, he staggered to his feet: "You're right! I want to live well, I can't let Master worry... Where are we going now?"
Shen Qiao took a deep breath and said hoarsely: "Go east, go to Bixia Sect, I will take you back to recognize your ancestors and return to the sect."
He took out from his arms the things that the spectator had just put into him, but it was actually a small wooden sign with the three characters Bixiazong engraved on one side and the word "Zhu" on the other side. proof of identity.
After scrutinizing it for a while, he handed the wooden sign to Fifteen: "This is a relic left by your master, you must keep it well."
Fifteen precious and important places looked at it for a long time before carefully putting it into his arms, touching and touching it several times, as if he was afraid that if he was not careful, the wooden sign would be lost.
Shen Qiao pulled him, and the two stepped through the grass with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and walked forward.
Fifteen couldn't help but look back.
Behind them, under the heavy cover of dense trees, the small exit stone gate was also blocked densely, as if it had never appeared.
Fifteen's tears flowed down again.
Shen Qiao clenched his hand.
…
Bixia Sect is in Mount Tai, and Mount Tai is in Dongping County. Towards Dongping County, you can go straight to Jeju, but Shen Qiao was afraid that the people of Hehuan Sect would guess their whereabouts, so he specially brought fifteen south to Liangzhou, which is equivalent to a large circle. More than half the journey.
Fifteen became taciturn, no longer the shy and friendly appearance he used to be, and he didn't talk much when he met people. Shen Qiao knew where his heart was, but this kind of thing could not be persuaded by others, so he could only wait for himself. Figured it out.
The Guanzhu originally hid some copper coins in the cellar. The amount was not large, but it was enough for them to save money all the way until they reached Dongping County.
During the daytime, the two of them hurry on the road, and at night they stay in the city. If there is no city, try to find some lively towns.
The two walked to Xiyanzhou that day, just in the evening, Shen Qiao found an inn in the city to settle down. He shared a room with Fifteen, gave the bed to Fifteen, and practiced on the ground.
After rebuilding the foundation with "Zhu Yang Ce", Shen Qiao seems to have entered a new world that has never been heard of before.
In the world of square inches, every detail is revealed, and it is always silent and subtle.
True Qi flowed through the damaged meridians, with a hint of pain, but it was like a new life, and together with all the serious injuries he had suffered in the past, it seemed to be slowly being repaired.
This is the real mystery of "Zhu Yangce".
As far as the eye can see, the morning light shines on the tree, the bright moon enters the cottage, the treasures are divine, and the calyx grows quietly.
Juque, Atrium, Huagai, Xuanji, the previously blocked or damaged meridians and acupoints were reopened one by one, and the annoyance and pain that had been blocking the heart for a long time were gradually disappearing.
Shen Qiao closed his eyes tightly, unaware that there were eyes peeping at him beside him.
Fifteen, who should have fallen asleep long ago, was wrapped in the quilt, pretending to be asleep without moving, but his eyes quietly opened a slit.
He saw that Shen Qiao, who was in good condition, suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, his face changed greatly, he couldn't care about anything else, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and ran to Shen Qiao's side in a few steps.
"How are you, are you okay?"
Shen Qiao opened his eyes, shook his head and smiled: "This is congestion, it's a pleasure to spit it out."
Fifteen eyes filled with tears: "You don't have to coax me, I know you didn't buy medicine along the way, just to save money. When I rescued you, you were obviously seriously injured and were about to die!"
Shen Qiao: "Not buying medicine is indeed saving money, but now I can use my internal strength to slowly recover, it doesn't matter whether I drink medicine or not."
Fifteen: "Really?"
Shen Qiao touched his head: "Really, I promised your master to take good care of you, so I won't leave you behind."
Fifteen suddenly hugged Shen Qiao and cried: "I, I didn't ignore you on purpose, I just, just sad!"
Shen Qiao's eyes were slightly sour: "I know."
He patted Fifteen's back lightly: "I'm sorry."
Fifteen shook his head: "Don't say sorry, it's not your fault."
Shen Qiao smiled bitterly: "Why isn't it my fault? They came after me to kill, but they implicated you."
Fifteen: "They are so cruel, even without you, as long as they feel that Master is hiding you, they will still kill you. Master saves you, just like I saved you back then, we don't blame you, don't blame yourself, okay? Good? It's the bad guys who should be punished, not the good guys."
When Shen Qiao heard it, he was heartbroken and heartbroken. He said in his heart, Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu, you are in the spirit of heaven. You should be at ease when you see Fifteen is so sensible and reasonable.
He asked fifteen: "Do you want to learn martial arts?"
Fifteen nodded: "I want to learn martial arts well and avenge my master and the first day of the first year."
Shen Qiao: "Before you go back to Bixia Sect, I'll teach you the martial arts of Xuandu Mountain on the way, okay?"
Fifteen's eyes lit up: "Xuandu Mountain, is it the Xuandu Mountain that is known as the first door in the world?"
Shen Qiao nodded.
Fifteen: "Shen Langjun, are you a disciple of Xuandu Mountain?"
Shen Qiao smiled: "Yes, my name is Shen Qiao, and I am the direct disciple of Qi Fengge, the sixth-generation headmaster of Xuandu Mountain."
Fifteen sighed: "I, I seem to have heard your name from the master! Have you ever been a teacher?"
Shen Qiao patted his head: "Yes, it's hard to say anything, so I won't tell you first. I came to Yecheng this time to find the disciples of Xuandu Mountain in the north. Who knows..."
He paused, "Who knows what happened to Sang Jingxing, you already know what happened next."
Fifteen is: "Yes, Master said that martial arts is the secret of every sect, unless you join that sect, you can't learn it. I have promised Master to go to Bixia Sect, so..."
Shen Qiao said with a smile: "Whether the martial arts of Xuandu Mountain or the martial arts of Bixia Sect, they are all learned by others. As long as the person who teaches and the person who learns have no insight, why should you stick to other things? I only teach you martial arts. You don't need to be a teacher."
After that, he would wrap the black cloth, the mountains and rivers and the sad sword disguised as a bamboo stick, and remove the cloth layer by layer.
"Mountains and rivers... Tongbei?" Fifteen read the seal script on it curiously.
"The common people are in trouble, the mountains and rivers are sad, the grass and trees have spirits, and the heaven and the earth are immortal."
Shen Qiao said leisurely, his fingers stroked the scabbard, he suddenly grabbed the hilt, and quickly drew the sword out of the scabbard, without seeing any movement of his wrist, the room was filled with brilliance in an instant, as if there was sword light everywhere, killing intent was stern, He Ming flew high, Wild geese cross snow.
But in just a moment, all the light disappeared again.
The room is still the same room, and the sword is still the same sword. It seems that it has never been unsheathed.
Fifteen was stunned for a long time, unable to close his mouth, looking stunned.
Shen Qiao smiled at him and said, "Go and touch that dress."
The clothes were Shen Qiao's own outer clothes. Because it was raining when he came, he took them off and hung them on the wooden frame in the room.
Fifteen's fingers just touched the clothes, and he involuntarily let out a groan.
The outer garments turned into a few pieces and fell down.
Other than that, everything else in the house was intact.
Fifteen's expression can be described as sluggish.
Shen Qiao: "How?"
Fifteen: "Okay, it's amazing..."
Shen Qiao burst into a smile: "I'm asking if you would like to learn martial arts with me?"
Fifteen nodded like garlic: "Master Shen is on top, please accept Fifteen!"
