Akasaka Road 30% off, Longdui Road nine plates. Ice is cold in the muscles, and the wind is cold in the bones.
Re-entering Chang'an, the mood is already different.
Shen Qiao entered the city alone. Although he was carrying a sword and wearing a Taoist robe, he looked sick and had problems with his eyes. He even walked very slowly. The world is chaotic, and the wandering Taoist priest who casually took a sword by his side does not feel threatened at all.
There are many crowns and caps in Chang'an City, and the flow of people is surging, just like every time he came before, but this time it seems to be more lively.
After careful inquiries, he realized that many of these people were planning to go to Tuyuhun King City to participate in the Panlong Meeting on the ninth day of September, just because some good person spread the news that the fragment of "Zhu Yangce" would be in this Panlong meeting. It appeared at the dragon meeting, and it is said that the Tai A sword, which was buried with Qin Shi Huang and later dug up by the overlord of Western Chu, will also appear.
As we all know, the three volumes of "Zhu Yangce" are now owned by Beizhou, Tiantai Sect, and Xuandu Mountain respectively. They are considered famous flowers and have their own masters, and there have never been fewer people who have their ideas, but no one has really been able to compare these three. The local scraps were stolen and kept for themselves, which shows that the difficulty is high, and ordinary experts can't do it. Like the scraps hidden by Tiantai Sect, not to mention ordinary people, even master-level masters such as Yan Wushi and Ruyan Kehui have gone. It may not be possible to retreat completely.
The remaining two volumes were scattered all over the place, and the end was unknown. One volume was obtained by the Liuhe Gang. It was originally planned to be transported to the south in the name of darts, but was destroyed by Yan Wushi in the middle, and the remaining volumes were destroyed. exist.
In this way, if a fragment of "Zhu Yangce" does appear at the Panlong Conference, then this fragment is the only thing left in the world without an owner, and it is not owned by anyone. The difficulty of getting it is definitely much lower than going to Tiantai Sect or Xuandu Mountain to find it, or going to the inner palace of the Zhou Dynasty to challenge the masters of the world. How can this not make people in the world jealous
Wealth and silk move people's hearts, but for people in the rivers and lakes, no matter how much gold and silver treasures are, it is not as attractive as martial arts. Thinking back to the Qifeng Pavilion in the past, it was because of the number one martial arts in the world, that everyone would look up to its breath, how majestic, isn't it justified that a man was born in the world
As for the Tai'a sword, it was once the treasure of the state of Chu and later belonged to the emperor of Qin. It has always been regarded as the sword of kings. Although it is also a weapon of magic, its symbolic meaning is greater than its actual meaning. The famous Jade Seals of the Kingdom of the People's Republic of China seem to have different effects. Whether it is Nanchen or Beizhou, they all pay great attention to this Panlong meeting, and there are many people who send people to see if it is true or not.
No matter what purpose they have, the people who walk with Shen Qiao this time are destined to be indispensable.
Seeing that the inn in the city was full, Shen Qiao planned to continue on the road and spend the night in a town outside the city.
Unexpectedly, the heroes gather and gather in all directions, not only people from major sects can be seen almost everywhere, even those small sects that are not very famous on weekdays are also dispatched one after another, some to watch a lively rise and gain knowledge, some are thinking Can we take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters? All in all, as night approaches, even the towns outside Chang'an are already full.
He went to several inns one after another, and was told that even the firewood room was full, and he felt very helpless. His eyes are not good, he can rely on the light to see vaguely during the day, but after dark, he can hardly see it, and it is very inconvenient to sleep in the wild. ran into trouble.
"This Taoist priest, we are really full, and there are people sleeping in the firewood room. There is really no room for you!" The inn clerk rubbed his hands and smiled wryly at him.
Shen Qiao was about to ask again, but heard a delicate voice next to her: "The slave's house has reserved a room that is spacious enough. If the Taoist priest doesn't dislike it, you can sleep with me on the same bed."
The inn was overcrowded, and those who were closer, looked up and saw a beautiful woman watching a sick Taoist priest, and immediately felt unbalanced.
Someone teased: "If the little lady is lonely, she should find someone stronger. This Taoist priest looks like he can be blown down by a gust of wind, can he handle you?"
As soon as these words came out, there were several laughter next to them.
The beauty smiled sweetly: "The slave family likes handsome Taoist priests like Taoist priests, and they don't like stinky men with dirty minds!"
As soon as these words were finished, the person who had just spoken lightly let out a sigh, and felt his temples, which had lost more than half of them at some point in time, and couldn't hold back his words in horror.
The beauty smiled and said: "The slave family is in a good mood today when they meet their old friend, and they don't want to see blood. You better do it yourself, lest I wait for my old friend to ignore me, and you will be out of luck."
While they were talking, Shen Qiao left the inn without looking back.
"Who the hell are you!" The man who had half of his hair cut off his sideburns asked sternly.
But the beauty disdains to deal with them any more, and as soon as she moves, there is only a fragrant wind left on the spot.
"The little peony of the slave family, does this name sound good?"
The words were still in their ears, and everyone looked at each other with discoloration: "Acacia Sect Bairong?! Why is this demon girl here!"
Bai Rong walked out of the inn. Seeing that the person in front of him was only a distant figure, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and chased after him with light energy, shouting, "Shen Qiao, stop for me!"
Hearing her words, the figure in front finally stopped.
Shen Qiao turned around and sighed softly: "Do you have any advice?"
Bai Rong grew up in the Hehuan Sect since she was a child, and has seen the most sinister hearts and filthy faces in the world. She felt that she had already trained a hard heart, and nothing was moved, but at this moment, facing Shen Qiao, she saw her helplessness With reluctance, a strong sense of grievance suddenly flooded into my heart.
"Shen Daochang is really ruthless. You hid in the White Dragon Temple that day, and I am waiting for the teacher to search. If I hadn't helped you delay the time, how could you still be standing here alive now? Your so-called gratitude and gratitude, Is this how you treat me?!"
Seeing that Shen Qiao didn't speak, she couldn't help sneering slightly: "Could it be that Taoist Shen also blamed me for the deaths of those two Taoists? At that time, the elders in my sect were on the side, and Xiao Se was even more eager to catch my fault, you Want me to hook myself up for two people I've never met?"
Shen Qiao shook his head: "I really want to thank you for what happened that day, but Brother Zhu and the first day of the first year are indeed dead. This is a sin committed by the Hehuan Sect. There is an injustice and a debt, and I will pay them back sooner or later. , many things are irreversible, and it is meaningless to entangle who is right and who is wrong."
Bai Rong bit her lower lip and was silent for a moment: "I heard that you lost all your skills and wanted to die with my teacher. As a result, you were severely injured by my teacher and almost died. You, are you okay now?"
Shen Qiao: "It's okay, thank you for your concern."
Bai Rong: "Master was also seriously injured. He was worried that Yuan Xiuxiu would take the opportunity to fall into the trap, so he found a secret place to practice the exercises by himself, and no one could find him."
Shen Qiao: "Even you don't know?"
Bai Rong smiled miserably: "Why, do you think he will trust me?"
Although Shen Qiao knew that she was trying to make her sympathize with her behavior, she really couldn't say anything harsh.
Bai Rong said softly: "I know you want to seek revenge from Master, but don't say that I don't know where he is now, even if I do, I can't watch you go to death, and you are far from Master's. opponent."
Shen Qiao nodded: "Thank you for telling me, but I have no plans to find him right now."
Bai Rong: "Then who do you want to find? Do you want to go to Tuyuhun King City to participate in the Panlong Party? Do you want to save Yan Wushi?"
She is naturally icy and smart, so she can quickly guess Shen Qiao's intentions.
Seeing that Shen Qiao didn't answer, Bai Rong sighed: "Lang Shen, do you know what you are doing? Although Yan Wushi is extremely skilled in martial arts, few people in the world can match him, but under the siege of the world's five great masters, he is even a great master. Luo Jinxian, there is no reason to survive? Besides, he treats you like that, why can you ignore the past, let alone a human being, even a kitten or a puppy will remember the person who hurt him again and again, and never again next time Dare to approach? Do you really have such deep affection for him?"
Shen Qiao frowned: "Why do you have to have love to save?"
Bai Rong: "Since you are ruthless, why do you have to take your own life? No matter how powerful you are now, you can't fight against five with one, let alone you, Yan Wushi can't do it, my master can't do it, just pray for the rebirth of Fengge Pavilion. No, there is a dragon meeting on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, but the day of the siege is on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and today is the fifth day of the lunar new year, even if you rush over now, it will be too late!"
Seeing that Shen Qiao was silent, her always smiling face was a little bit more resentful: "Don't you understand, I don't want to look at you and die!"
Bai Rong has a good impression on him, and Shen Qiao is not a wood, so he can naturally feel it.
Like Bai Rong's self-interested temperament, she could not sacrifice her life for Shen Qiao or betray her teacher because she liked Shen Qiao, and she would not even rebel against her teacher for Shen Qiao. She is willing to provide a little convenience for Shen Qiao and help her with a little effort. This is a rare thing for her.
But she didn't understand Shen Qiao, and Shen Qiao didn't intend to explain too much. He didn't want Bai Rong to misunderstand. If the two of them were clear from the beginning, it would be a good thing for her.
"Thank you for your advice, but I still have to go." He stared at Bairong, "For outsiders, the Hehuan Sect is a dangerous place that eats people without spitting out bones, but for you, it's like a fish in water and you enjoy it. "
Bai Rong: "After all, you still look down on a demon girl like me."
Shen Qiao shook his head: "You misunderstood, I mean, I know that you are not willing to be just an ordinary disciple in the Hehuan Sect, and I have no right to ask you, I just hope that you cherish more and don't become Huo Xijing or Sang Jingxing People like that, you are different from them."
The sentence "You are different from them" made Bai Rong suddenly feel sore eyes, but her face remained calm, she smiled sweetly: "Then you can always watch me by my side and urge me not to become that kind of person! "
"I'm sorry." Shen Qiao only said these three words, then turned and left.
Bai Rong paused: "Shen Qiao!"
However, the sky was wide and the rainbow shadow was as small as a giant, and there was no dust under his feet.
…
Tuyuhun King City, Fucheng City, on the eighth day of September.
The Western Regions have more wind and sand and less rain all year round, but this year is a bit strange. After the autumn, there have been many days of drizzle, and the buildings of the royal city, which have been dusty all the year round, seem to be completely new.
Influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, Tuyuhun nobles and princes spoke Chinese using Chinese characters, and even Han clothes were popular. In addition, the Panlong Festival was approaching, and there were many people from the Central Plains in the city. At first glance, it seemed like returning to Chang'an.
Outside the city, there is a pavilion for shelter from the rain, called Yin-Yang Pavilion.
The pavilion is built in the style of the Central Plains, and only the corners of the eaves pavilion can see the exotic style. Due to the age, even the three characters of Yin and Yang Pavilion have peeled off a lot. Under the black paint, the original color of the wood is exposed.
Yan Wushi stood in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, and he didn't know how long he had been standing.
His eyes looked out of the pavilion, and his attitude was quite leisurely, as if he was enjoying the rain, but also as if he was waiting for someone.
In the distance, between the wet grass and the wet wood, a person appeared.
The man was dressed in robes, with no hair on the top of his head. His face was extremely handsome, but the frost was looming in the corners of his eyes. He held an umbrella in one hand and was walking slowly towards here.
"Amitabha, Sect Master Yan, are you safe?"
His tone was as usual in gossip, but it was clear and in the ear, not weakened by the distance.
Yan Wushi said lightly: "After leaving Izumo Temple, your hair still doesn't grow half a hair. It can be seen that you are busy thinking hard and living a very boring life. Is it so difficult for you to be a peaceful monk? ?"
Hearing the sarcastic sarcasm in his words, Zen Master Xue Ting smiled bitterly: "Sect Master Yan is still unforgiving!"
Yan Wushi: "It was Duan Wenyang who asked me out, but why did you appear? Could it be that the former national teacher of the state of Zhou was also willing to degenerate and colluded with the Turks?"
Zen Master Xueting: "Sect Master Yan's return to the rivers and lakes has caused blood and blood in the world, and there is no peace. According to the poor monk, it is better for you to find a place to concentrate on learning martial arts, so as not to cause more murders in your hands. "
Yan Wushi laughed: "I have always hated you, you bald donkey full of Buddhist doctrines. You have learned to be smart today, so don't talk nonsense, just straight to the point, good!"
Zen Master Xueting lowered his eyebrows and said, "The Buddha persuaded people to do good, put down the butcher's knife, and become a Buddha on the ground, but he also has the power of the King Kong Thunder to those who have not changed his teachings after repeated teachings. What is the Buddha's theory to say about people like Sect Master Yan? Use? You can only subdue them by force, and kill them by killing them."
Yan Wushi: "Let me guess, the reason why you and Duan Wenyang came to besiege me, Yu Wenyong refused to reuse Buddhism, so you sent people to infiltrate the Turks, and day after day, Tuobo Khan also believed in Buddhism. , but the nature of the Turks is like a wolf like a tiger, Buddhism has limited influence after all, you have no choice but to focus on the Northern Zhou Dynasty."
"Yuwenyong is very jealous of Buddhism. Even if you destroy the Huanyue Sect, he will not reuse Buddhism, so the best way is to kill me first, then kill Yuwenyong, and support the crown prince Yuwenyun to ascend the throne. Yuwenyun Unlike his father, he has a deep affection for Buddhism, and it’s not in vain that you have been blowing around him all these years, as long as he takes power, Buddhism in Beizhou will be restored to its former glory.”
Zen master Xueting said, "Yuwenyong's killing is too heavy, laboring the people and hurting the wealth. It is not what the Mingjun did. In the battle of Qiyi, the whole country worked hard, and the people were overwhelmed sooner or later."
Yan Wushi was very interested: "So, do you think that Prince Yuwenyun is the Mingjun?"
Zen Master Xueting only said: "Prince has deep roots in Buddhism, and his Buddha's heart is transparent, so he has a relationship with Buddha."
Yan Wushi smiled leisurely: "Yu Wenyun looks like that, you can open your eyes and talk nonsense, it's really not easy, don't you just want to kill me, let the horse come over, Duan Wenyang, let him get out!"
As his voice fell, a long smile could be heard in the air: "Sect Master Yan is so arrogant, didn't he think that today might be his death bogey?"
