"In the beginning, there were several sets of swordsmanship in Zifu, Xuandu. When my master, Qi Fengge, thought that all martial arts in the world are inseparable from the same sect, it is better to only practice one set to perfection, rather than being too complicated to practice. He reorganized the swordsmanship of the past dynasties and turned them into the last two sets."
"One of the Canglang swordsmanships was created by the old man who was in the East China Sea and saw the sun rise and the moon set. After Yun Suilang surged, he realized something. It combines the essence of some previous swordsmanship in Xuandu Mountain. It happened to be passing the Yellow River today. , the mood is similar, I will demonstrate it for you first, you don’t need to memorize the moves in it, just appreciate the mood.”
Fifteen had a serious face and handed over seriously: "Yes, Master Shen, this disciple will try to feel it."
Shen Qiao smiled and drew his sword out of its sheath!
The river basin where they are located just broke the bank last year and flooded the farmland on both sides of the river. Today, there are ten rooms and nine empty spaces. Looking at the desolation, the rest of the Yellow River is still rushing forward.
At this moment, Shen Qiao was standing on a big rock standing alone, beneath which was the galloping Yellow River, roaring as if to devour everything in the world.
Under the sunlight, the water of the river shone brightly and brightly. At first glance, Shen Qiao was thin and difficult to compete with the heaven and the earth, but when he drew his sword out of the sheath, his momentum was not inferior. The mountains and rivers were the same as the sad sword Because of the dazzling light reflected, the sword's edge is together, and the sword's energy overflows, driving the river to become more and more turbulent.
Fifteen was completely stunned.
When he followed the Guanzhu, although the Guanzhu also taught them martial arts, the Guanzhu martial arts itself was ordinary, and it was difficult to describe to them what a profound martial arts realm was. Fifteen listened to the Guanzhu's description, the real martial arts master, can Use yourself to cleanse the surroundings, influence every plant and tree in the world, and make it affected by your own mood.
On the first and fifteenth day of the first month, they both completely forgot about themselves and yearned for it. They thought that it would be great if they could meet such an expert in their lifetime.
And now, the scene that he once dreamed of appeared in front of his eyes.
Looking at Shen Qiao's every move, even a person like Fifteen who is just getting started in martial arts, who is not even a first-timer, can even feel the power that pulls all things, which is beyond his barren language. The picture is also an unforgettable scene of Fifteen's life.
Master, the first day of the first year, have you seen it
Fifteen burst into tears, and even had the urge to kneel down and cry.
Not only Fifteen who was on the sidelines, but even Shen Qiao, who was in it, was in an indescribably mysterious state.
He can feel that his sword energy and the river water are intertwined with each other, and they are each other's energy. , The tangible sword intent turned into a white rainbow, passing through the water vapor. Wherever the sword intent went, the river suddenly exploded with a bang. It was spectacular and beautiful.
The tip of Shen Qiao's sword trembled, and the man jumped off the stone without warning. He let out a loud cry in fascination, and took a few steps to run to the river, only to see Shen Qiao falling into the turbulent river, and the rabbit rose up. Falcon fell, the sword in his hand did not stop, it was continuous, and he took a small step in the waves, and he was free and easy, just like walking in a leisurely court, twisting flowers with his sword.
He never stops for anyone, and the Yellow River, eager to devour all things, runs under his feet, but within three feet of him, it is as gentle as a moonlight caressing the spring breeze, letting it go and stay.
The sky is not spring, it is spring.
Flowing water is ruthless, but swords are merciless.
Even the sword of love gallops across the ruthless water, and goes alone despite the storm.
Wherever the sword light comes, you can take everything and take it away, and you will get all the romance.
After a set of swordsmanship was completed, Shen Qiao jumped from the stone in the river to the shore, squinted his eyes and looked back, his eyes were still not very good, perhaps because the residual poison had stayed in the body for too long and too deep before, even if the foundation was rebuilt, It can't be restored to the level of clarity it used to be.
But it doesn't matter anymore, because when he used that set of swordsmanship just now, he used his perception of the things around him, and maintained the connection with the surroundings with sword intent, so his footing was not bad, and his eyesight was not impaired. , this can be considered a reward, a blessing in disguise.
Fifteen said timidly beside him: "Master Shen, can I really train to your level in the future?"
Shen Qiao patted his head and smiled and said, "Naturally, it is possible. There are three thousand avenues, and everyone is different. As long as you study hard, you will surely succeed in the future."
Fifteen couldn't help but smile.
This was his first smile since he left the White Dragon Temple.
Shen Qiao squatted down and looked at him: "I know you didn't forget your master's death, and I didn't forget it, we remember it together, but your master has a spirit in the sky, I definitely hope you can be happy, promise me, After the Yellow River, we will throw away all the sad things and move forward happily, okay?"
Hearing him mentioning Master, Shifu's eyes were a little wet again, but he nodded quickly: "Okay, I will live well, practice hard, and be a good person, I won't let Master down, and I won't let you down either. ."
Shen Qiao didn't say anything, just hugged him tightly for a while before releasing him, then holding his hand, the figures, one big and one small, walked slowly along the river.
The Yellow River, however, is still rolling forward, unchanged from time immemorial.
…
The two of them did not walk fast, and they walked for several months until they reached the foot of Mount Tai in early August.
There are more than 100 large and small peaks in Mount Tai, and the Bixia Sect is not on the top of Daiding, where the emperors of the past dynasties Fengchan, but on a little-known Candlenan Peak at the northeastern foot of the mountain.
Zhunan Peak is not high, but its location is unique. Surrounded by strange rocks on the mountain, the clear stream is gurgling. Due to the dangerous terrain, there are fewer tourists and woodcutters.
Fifteen was a bit "timid about being close to the country" and felt uneasy in his heart. When Shen Qiao led him up, he couldn't help but ask: "Master Shen, do you know what kind of sect Bixia Sect is?"
Shen Qiao said with a smile: "Bixia Sect was founded in the Han Dynasty, and the current sect master is called Zhao Chiying, who is also one of the top ten masters in the world. Brother Zhu said that Sect Master Zhao is his nephew, so in terms of seniority, you should be the same as yours. Sect Master Zhao's peers."
Fifteen grabbed the corner of his clothes, but he was not afraid of falling. In the past few months, he followed Shen Qiao to practice martial arts and practice swords, and he made rapid progress. Four essences.
"Will you leave when you send me to Bixia Sect?"
"Don't you want me to go?" Shen Qiao teased him deliberately.
Fifteen was a little embarrassed, pursed his lips and smiled, but said nothing.
After Guan Zhu and Chu Yi passed away, Shen Qiao took good care of him along the way, like a master like a father. In the early 15th, he was regarded as his only relative, and he was deeply dependent on Ru Mu. Now seeing Bixia Sect in front of his eyes, Master's death will be soon. It can be achieved, but there is a very likely separation that accompanies it, and he is not happy at all.
Shen Qiao: "Don't worry, I won't leave right away when I get there, I'll take a look first."
What he didn't tell Fifteen was that although Bixia Sect was once a major faction, it has declined sharply in recent years. It was only because of the emergence of a once-in-a-century wizard, Zhao Chiying, which boosted its reputation a little. Alone, no matter how powerful Zhao Chiying is, it is still a little difficult to turn the tide. I heard that Zhao Chiying has been in seclusion in recent years, and his senior brother Yue Kunchi has been taking care of the sect affairs. Zhu Lengquan left the sect for a reason, and this reason will definitely not be too pleasant. I just don't know how they will react when they see Fifteen. If they don't like Fifteen, he can't leave Fifteen here to be wronged.
Fifteen didn't know that all Shen Qiao's thoughts were for himself, and he felt uneasy in his heart. He was worried that the people on Bixia Sect would not be easy to get along with, and also worried that he would be separated from Shen Qiao too soon.
The two quickly climbed to the halfway up the mountain, but Shen Qiao realized something was wrong.
If the general sect is on the mountain, some of the guards are more strictly guarded, and there will be disciples at the foot of the mountain. If it is a little looser, when you reach the middle of the mountain, you will definitely be able to see people.
But now, seeing that they are about to arrive, but not half of the figure is seen, this must be said to be a very abnormal thing.
Fifteen also obviously sensed that something was wrong, but the corner of his clothes that was holding Shen Qiao was quietly loosened. He didn't want to be a burden to Shen Qiao when something happened.
"Master Shen, look!"
Shen Qiao's eyes were not good, but Fifteen found the broken sword that was thrown in the grass next to Shidao, and bent over to pick it up and hand it to him.
Shen Qiao felt the opening of the broken sword, which was obviously broken by excessive force. There was no body here, and it was unknown whether the owner of the sword had fallen off the cliff or had already fled.
"Be careful, there may be more up there, you follow me."
Sure enough, the more you go up, the more weapons there are, and there are corpses one after another. You can't tell if it's a disciple of the Bixia Sect or someone else.
Suddenly, a distant cry came from behind him, "Who is it, stop!"
Before the words were finished, a sword flew towards Fifteen's back.
Hearing the movement, Shen Qiao didn't change his expression, he pulled Shifu and turned around, the two of them switched positions in a blink of an eye, and he himself walked away to meet the sword's edge.
The Shanhetongbei sword was not even unsheathed, he slapped the wind sideways, slapped the sword in the wrong direction, rolled up his sleeves, and pinched the opponent's wrist.
"Shen Daochang?" The other party snorted.
"Who is your Excellency?" Shen Qiao narrowed his eyes, and could only see a figure with blurred features in front of him.
"Fan Yuanbai is under the Bixia Sect. We met once in the Su Mansion." The other party said.
Shen Qiao thought about it for a while, and finally got a bit of an impression. On that day, he went to the old lady Qin's birthday banquet in the Su residence on behalf of Yan Wushi, and he did seem to have met a disciple of Mount Tai Bixiazong.
Fan Yuanbai: "Dare to ask Daoist Master Shen why he is here?"
His tone did not hide his anxiety, but he was still able to bear his temper. First, he asked politely. First, Fan Yuanbai had a good temperament, and second, Shen Qiao and Duan Wenyang's performance in the fight that day convinced many people, including him.
Shen Qiao briefly explained the relationship between Fifteen and Bixia Sect, and asked Fifteen to show the wooden sign as proof.
Fan Yuanbai took the wooden sign and looked at it for a moment: "I did hear the name of Uncle Zhu, but I don't know much about the inside story. In this case, you two might as well go up the mountain with me, or report the matter to the teacher."
Shen Qiao said: "Thank you Fan Langjun, we just found the body of Broken Sword along the way. You must know what happened on the mountain?"
Fan Yuanbai smiled bitterly: "It's a coincidence, I'm going home to visit relatives this time. I've been there for more than half a year, and I happened to be returning to the sect today. Who knew that something was wrong at the foot of the mountain. , along the way, I was frightened, I happened to meet two people, I thought..."
He thought it was an enemy rather than a friend.
Shen Qiao: "Since that's the case, it's not too late. I'd better go up the mountain to find out. If everything is fine, I'd better ask for peace of mind."
Fan Yuanbai said yes, and immediately walked up the mountain with Shen Qiao Shiwu.
It's just that the more the three of them go up, the more their hearts hang in the air, and it's just because they can see more and more swords and corpses along the way. Fan Yuanbai has remained calm and can bend over I went to look at the corpse to see if there was any living mouth, but at the back, his face was blue and his lips were white, and he couldn't say a word.
Through Fan Yuanbai's explanation, Shen Qiao and the others knew that there were disciples of the Bixia Sect in these corpses, and they accounted for most of them. The identity of the other corpses was unknown. Judging from the weapons, the other party was also using a sword, and the sword was engraved with "East Continent" word.
Fifteen wondered, "What sect is Dongzhou?"
He only thought that he had just entered the arena and was ignorant. He didn't expect Fan Yuanbai to frown and say nothing.
Instead, Shen Qiao said, "There is no Dongzhou faction in the Central Plains, but there is one in Goguryeo."
Fan Yuanbai said: "Yes, this faction is known as the No. 1 faction in Goguryeo, and I have heard of it, but Goguryeo is a foreign country, and my Bixia Sect has never violated the well water, so how can it appear here?"
Talking without delaying their efforts, they were getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain, and the three of them had already heard the sound of short armies from afar.
Those with ears as strong as Shen Qiao could even hear someone shouting and scolding.
Fan Yuanbai quickened a few steps and rushed in front, his sword unsheathed.
Fifteen pulled Shen Qiao and whispered, "Master Shen, follow me, there are a lot of corpses on the ground."
Shen Qiao's heart warmed, and nodded, without disobeying his good intentions: "Okay."
Rao was mentally prepared, and what he saw in front of him still made Fan Yuanbai feel anxious.
I saw that the originally peaceful and peaceful sect was now a sea of blood. The number of corpses reached its peak after entering the sect.
Those disciples of Bixia Sect who have closed their eyes have nothing to do with Fifteen for the time being. With Shen Qiao by his side, he can still maintain a calm and calm appearance, but Fan Yuanbai can't help it, because these people have been with him. He gets along day and night. They are his brothers and sisters who are close to him. When he went down the mountain half a year ago, some of these people laughed and asked him to bring something delicious and fun back. Now they can only lie on the cold ground, never again. will speak.
Fan Yuanbai's eyes were red, and the sadness and resentment in his heart gradually condensed until he saw two groups of people fighting not far away.
The two factions that fought against each other actually wore the clothes of the disciples of the Bixia Sect, and there were faces he was familiar with on both sides.
"Junior Brother Li! Junior Brother Qiao! Stop, what the hell is going on!"
The crowd was belligerent, and the killing was on the rise. Naturally, no one paid any attention to him.
Fan Yuanbai didn't understand what was going on, why he left the mountain, and when he came back, he saw the scene of the sect killing each other.
His mind was agitated, and he was in a trance for a while, and naturally he didn't notice that a sword was being handed to his back.
However, before the sneak attack sent the sword body into his body, he screamed, let go of the sword, and rolled on the ground while holding his wrist.
"Be careful behind your back." Shen Qiao's voice sounded from behind, neither sullen nor angry.
Fan Yuanbai recovered a little, thanked him, grabbed the person who attacked him from behind, and found that he was also a disciple of his own sect.
"You are Xue Qi under Elder Lu? Why are you attacking me!"
When the other party saw Shen Qiao behind him, he remembered that his wrist was just cut off by this man's sword, and he couldn't help but be afraid: "Yes, the real head is back, your master, Elder Yue, he occupies the position of the acting head and refuses to let Xian Xian go. , so I ordered my disciples to kill each other..."
The more Fan Yuanbai listened, the more confused he became. He couldn't help interrupting and scolding him: "Nonsense! My master is devoted to the public, how could he occupy a position and refuse to let the virtuous!"
Xue Qi shouted: "I don't know, I don't know, I just follow orders, don't kill me!"
Shen Qiao pressed Fan Yuanbai's shoulder and motioned him to calm down: "This is just the outer door, go to the inner door first."
He asked Xue Qi again, "Where's your master?"
His voice was not high, but it was clearly heard in Xue Qi's ears, and Xue Qi shrank back: "In the inner door, I'm fighting with Elder Yue..."
Fan Yuanbai couldn't bear to listen any longer, he jumped up, grabbed his sword, and rushed in towards the inner door.
Along the way, there were many people with swords to stop them, including former classmates, so-called disciples of the Dongzhou School, and unidentified men in black with high nose and deep eyes. When he came down, he almost didn't get hit by someone. Fortunately, Shen Qiao followed behind and took care of him.
In comparison, the fledgling Fifteen seemed to be much more at ease. The sword in his hand was just an ordinary long sword he picked up on the road, but he used everything Shen Qiao had taught recently. He didn't look like Fan Yuanbai was in a trance. With Shen Qiao next to him, his heart was calm, and his shots became more and more stable. Instead, these people who came forward to attack were regarded as opponents to learn from and feed tricks.
But Fifteen was just getting started. At first, he was a little confused and hesitant. After finally subduing the opponent, he couldn't wait to turn around, just to see the person behind him showing a smile of approval: "Master Shen, am I doing a good job?"
Shen Qiao really smiled and said, "Very good, but you still have to be careful."
Fifteen's shoulders were gently stroked, bringing a slight warmth, which greatly encouraged him: "Yes!"
In the inner door, the sword in Yue Kunchi's hand was slapped flying by Ruan Hailou, and he was also slapped in the waist. He couldn't help but take three steps back and hit the pillar behind him.
He ignored the disciples next to him and came to help him, and he didn't look at Ruan Hailou, but he roared at the elder Lu Feng in the door: "Lu Feng, you actually colluded with outsiders to capture the Bixia Sect, you disloyal and unrighteous person, you don't deserve to be the original. Sect disciple!"
Lu Feng frowned: "Whether it's worthy, it's not your turn, Yue Kunchi, to decide, let Sect Master Zhao come out and speak."
Yue Kunchi gritted his teeth. These people knew that Junior Sister Zhao would not be disturbed at all during the retreat, so they came to the door at this time.
Ruan Hailou: "When you were a child, you were often scolded and cried by your master. I ran down the mountain every day to buy you candy. Your master said you were stupid, and it was I who taught you how to train those Zhao clans well. Now you must be too early. Did you forget it?"
Yue Kunchi: "I haven't forgotten, Master Ruan, your kindness to me will be remembered in my heart for the rest of my life! But you are now a member of the Dongzhou faction, and you have married the princess of the King of Goguryeo, but you killed the disciples of the Dongzhou faction. Going to the Bixia Sect, and colluding with the Turks and the elders of the sect, intending to seize the throne, is that how you treat your own sect!"
Ruan Hailou sneered: "If it wasn't for your master's secret arrows hurting people and causing me to be accused by thousands of people, I have a sect, but I can't go back, so I can't help but go away, how can I end up in Goguryeo? You won't want to know what happened to me later. How much suffering it took to get the favor of the head of the Eastern Continent Sect and become his disciple, twenty years have passed, but unfortunately your master has long since passed away, otherwise I would be more than happy to ask him back for this justice!"
Pu Anmi, who had been on the sidelines for a long time, suddenly said, "I said, Duke Ruan, Duke Lu, why do you have to tell him so much? Zhao Chiying can't go into seclusion, and Yue Kunchi occupies the position of the acting suzerain. He handed over the position of Sect Master, of course he would not like it. Anyway, he killed so many people today, so he just killed all the disobedient people and just replaced all the disobedient people. There is only one Zhao Chiying, even if she is out. Guan, it can't make any waves."
Lu Feng said categorically: "Yes, Senior Brother Ruan, Yue Kunchi is at the end of his streak, but he delays time by talking nonsense. Let's get rid of him first. Huileshan owed you a lot in the past, and today it's his disciple's turn to pay!"
Ruan Hailou didn't say any more, swept his body directly, and slapped Yue Kunchi with his palm.
Yue Kunchi was exhausted and could not retreat, so he could only close his eyes and wait to die, but Zhou Yexue, the disciple beside him, suddenly rushed forward, intending to block the blow for his master.
Fan Yuanbai happened to see this scene when he stumbled in and ran in. His heart was splitting, and he couldn't help shouting: "Junior sister!"
He is still some distance away from the other party, let alone running, even rolling and crawling, and it is too late now.
It was too late, but it was so fast, a white sword light swept past his ear, passing directly between Zhou Yexue and Ruan Hailou.
The sword light was so fast that no one had time to recover.
As soon as Ruan Hailou's palm wind went away, even if he sensed it, he was vigilant, but he couldn't stop it. When the sword light came, it was like the king of the world, directly suppressing the palm wind.
He only felt a pain in the palm of his hand, and he hurriedly stepped back. When he landed and took a closer look, there was still a long and deep bloodstain on the palm of his hand.
The people present, such as the elite disciples of the Bixia Sect, have been completely exhausted in the infighting of the former. Accomplishments, such as Ruan Hailou and others, even if they can see it, they will never say that they have the prestige of the enemy.
"Who is coming!" Ruan Hailou said angrily, clutching his bleeding hand.
"Shen Qiao."
He sheathed his sword, and his voice was soft and soft, but it spread to the ears of everyone present.
The others still didn't react, but Pu Anmi showed a ghostly expression: "You are Shen Qiao?!"
Shen Qiao: "This son recognizes me, dare to ask Gao's name?"
Pu Anmi said that it was impossible in her heart. She calmed down and smiled: "Kunxie, the master, must be no stranger to Daoist Shen."
Shen Qiaoduan is good at self-restraint. Hearing that his opponent who had caused him serious injury to Sunset Cliff in the past did not react much, he just nodded: "It is indeed an old friend."
Mentioning the master's name, Pu Anmi's confidence rose again: "After the first battle on Banbu Peak that day, the master missed Daochang Shen so much, and he was worried that you would fall off the cliff and die. Fortunately, God blessed him, and Daochang Shen would not die. The family teacher is not far from here, and I must be able to come up the mountain tomorrow, when the old people meet again, Shen Dao can get together with the family teacher when he grows up!"
After hearing the battle of Banbu Peak, most of the people present understood Shen Qiao's identity.
Fifteen only felt that the gazes of some people looking at Master Shen were very annoying.
Shen Qiao seemed to be aware of his thoughts, smiled slightly, held his shoulders, and his tone was still calm and gentle: "It's indeed an old friend, it's time to get together."
He changed his words: "You must not come for me today, but it is more important to settle your business first."
Ruan Hailou said coldly: "Even though I am in Goguryeo, I have heard the name of Daoist Master Shen. I am really lucky to meet today, but this is a family affair of our Bixia Sect. Daoist Master Shen is here for no reason. reason?"
If someone else had changed, he would have already started to be strong, but it was just that Shen Qiao's pre-emptive hand stunned the audience and made him feel jealous.
Shen Qiao sighed: "I have no intention of inquiring about the internal affairs of Bixia Sect, but today I brought my junior to recognize the ancestors and return to the sect, so I can't watch you slaughter Bixia Sect to the end?"
Yue Kunchi wondered: "Daoist Shen, who are you talking about the junior?"
Shen Qiao briefly explained the origin of Fifteen's identity, Yue Kunchi snorted and said, "He's actually a disciple of Uncle Zhu?!"
Ruan Hailou next to him suddenly laughed and said: "Okay! Excellent! It seems that today is a good day. All the old friends are here. Zhu Lengquan didn't come by himself. It's fine to send an apprentice. If he is still there, he can let him To be fair, let's see whether Hui Leshan was unkind and unjust, or whether we deserved to be expelled from the school!"
Yue Kunchi slowly let out a turbid breath: "Uncle Ruan, this is the last time I will call you Uncle Master. In the past, before the grievances and grievances of the old master, I heard him mention that there were many regrets in his words. I have a lot of faults in this matter, and I also told me that if I see you in the future, I will still respectfully address you as Shishu, but after all, it is the grievance of the previous generation. The kindness that nurtured you with one hand, but now you are in harmony, in fact..."
He looked at the corpses all over the place, his eyes were devastated, and he couldn't speak any more, and said in a sad tone: "What's wrong with the disciples of the Bixia Sect, they didn't experience or participate in the events of the year, why did they die in vain! Lu Feng, you are an elder. , even colluding with outsiders..."
Lu Feng interrupted him impatiently: "Okay, I can't stand the appearance of your mother-in-law! If Zhao Chiying is willing to take care of the affairs, the Bixia Sect will not be dead or alive now. If you are not good enough, if you die, you will die. If you are acquainted, you should quickly hand over the position of Sect Master, no matter who the Bixia Sect is in the future, it will be better than in yours!"
Yue Kunchi: "What if I refuse?"
Pu Anmi smiled and said: "Now the Zhou State is attacking Qi, and the momentum is fierce, and the Qi State is over. The head of Ruan and the elder Lu have surrendered to the Eastern Turkic Khan, and they have both been awarded official titles. Elder Ruoyue is also willing to understand current affairs and lead the way. The Bixia Sect will go all the way up and down, and there will definitely be a bright future in the future."
After speaking, he seemed to remember something, and said to Shen Qiao, "I almost forgot to tell Taoist Master Shen that your junior brother, the current Headmaster of Xuandushan Yu, was conferred the title of Bishop Taiping Yuyang by Erfu Khan himself not long ago. It's really gratifying, if you hadn't been defeated by my teacher that day, wouldn't it be you who received the seal today?"
