Although they fought together against the enemy under the ancient city of Ruoqiang before, it was because everyone had a common enemy. After returning to the ground, Chen Gong and the three might not have an advantage against Shen Qiao for the time being, but they had the biggest handle in their hands. , that is, under the siege of the five masters, Yan Wushi did not die at all, and was rescued by Shen Qiao.
Once this news is leaked, the five forces involved in the encirclement and suppression of Yan Wushi will definitely not give up, and Shen Qiao will be alone and alone, and may not be able to fight against so many people - even if Chen Gong hinted that he will not reveal their whereabouts, but Shen Qiao is alone It is impossible for Qiao to easily believe him now, so it is natural to be cautious in everything, so as not to repeat the same mistakes.
To return to Yuhun from here, they must first pass through the town where they rested last time, but Shen Qiao did not want to meet Chen Gong again, so instead of looking for an inn in the town, he looked for a family outside the town to stay for a few days. day.
This family's family situation is even worse than that of Banna's family. They can't even serve mutton soup, only oil cakes, and there are not many empty rooms, only one room can be vacated.
"You said before that Cistanche Jade has a miraculous effect on external injuries. You have taken so many Cistanche Jade, presumably the head injury will recover?"
Yan Wushi took out a jade cirong from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Qiao: "Here it is."
Shen Qiao asked curiously, "What are you doing for me?"
Yan Wushi: "You were also scratched by those monkeys in the underground of Ruoqiang. The juice of Cistanche Jade is limited, and the effect is mediocre. It is not as good as the fruit."
Shen Qiao took Jade Cirong and suddenly asked, "Are you Ayan, not Xie Ling?"
Yan Wushi was silent for a moment: "How did you know?"
Shen Qiao shook his head: "You talk too much, Xie Ling can't say a word for a long time. And from what I know about Yan Wushi, he is a person who is not willing to wrong himself at all, although his temperament is different. , but many essences will not change. During the few days at Banna’s house, when there was mutton soup to drink, Xie Ling would never touch the oil cakes. Even if there were only oil cakes, Xie Ling would only endure not to eat or speak. But now, although you are obviously unhappy, you still eat oil cakes."
Yan Wushi burst out with a smile: "A Qiao, I didn't know you were paying such attention to our every move, I'm really flattered!"
Shen Qiao: "If you don't look carefully, I'm just afraid that a fool like me has been deceived again and doesn't even know it."
This is said in a leisurely and peaceful manner, without any resentment.
Yan Wushi sighed softly: "A Qiao, if you are stupid, there will be no smart people in the world!"
Shen Qiao laughed: "Thank you for your compliment."
Yan Wushi asked sweetly: "Then do you like me more, or Xie Ling more?"
After Shen Qiao was stunned for a moment, he narrowed his eyebrows and said lightly: "Whether it's you, Xie Ling, or any other temperament, it's just a wisp of Yan Wushi's inner demon. Now that he has obtained the silk film, repairing the flaws in his demon heart is just around the corner. You will all disappear, Yan Wushi is still Yan Wushi, my preference doesn't matter."
Yan Wushi smiled and said: "You are right, we are all derived from Yan Wushi after all, and it is impossible to exist without Yan Wushi's body, so you like Xie Ling the most because Xie Ling is the least Like Yan Wushi, right?"
Shen Qiao didn't answer, only sighed: "I didn't have a good night's sleep when I was in Ruoqiang, let's rest first, I'm tired too."
Without waiting for the other person to speak, he closed his eyes and meditated cross-legged.
These few days in the ancient city of Ruoqiang, although every step is thrilling, Shen Qiao has another experience. Although those apes are not as cunning and thoughtful as humans, they are not dead, and their ferocity is three points better than humans. When fighting them, they often wandered. The feeling of life and death, and between the near-death and survival, the understanding of martial arts is even higher.
His defeat at Banbu Peak was completely unexpected. The moment he fell on the cliff, Shen Qiao's heart was full of anger and disbelief. Taking life and death calmly, this state of mind is directly reflected in his swordsmanship. A set of Canglang Sword Art, which was used in the past, even if it changes a lot and swayes freely, it is also two points less casual to look down on life and death. Now it is used again, But like an antelope hanging its horns, there is no trace to be found.
While Zhu Yangce's true qi is reshaping the meridians, it is also subtly confirming with his original xinxing.
The silent person is plain, the subtlety is subtle, the red dust is three thousand, the lonely crane travels far, the heaven is ruthless, and I alone get it.
In the eyes of outsiders, his temperament is getting more and more out of the dust day by day, even if he wears an ordinary Taoist robe, he is better than a fairy.
For Shen Qiao himself, this kind of insight has brought him to a very mysterious realm, like waking up but not waking up, like a dream but not a dream, but he can perceive everything around him.
When someone falls asleep, the cold moon outside the house, the dog sleeping on the fence, the breeze blows the branches, and even the person inside the house... Yan Wushi.
Shen Qiao suddenly opened his eyes.
The man who should have closed his eyes and fell asleep was looking at him with his eyes open.
Shen Qiao was not sure: "Xie Ling?"
Yan Wushi hummed, without blinking his eyes.
Shen Qiao: "How could it be you?"
Yan Wushi: "I wanted to come out, and I came out."
These words were a bit inexplicable, but Shen Qiao actually understood.
What the other party meant was: because the disposition of "Xie Ling" was too strong, he temporarily seized the autonomy of his body.
Concise and concise, pause in speech, this is indeed Xie Ling's style.
Shen Qiao: "I should thank you, thank you for turning your head and taking me out when you were in Ruoqiang, but you were replaced by Ayan when you went out, so this thank you has not been said until now."
Yan Wushi: "No need."
Even so, his eyes still looked at Shen Qiao.
Without the moodiness and anger in the past, without the coldness and alienation implied in the teasing, Xie Ling's temperament has become more distinct.
For Shen Qiao, if Yan Wushi was Xie Ling from the beginning, many things may not happen, but there is never a if in life, Yan Wushi is Yan Wushi, Xie Ling is one of Yan Wushi, but Yan Wushi is not. It won't be Xie Ling.
Shen Qiao said: "In the past, when I practiced "Zhu Yang Ce" on Xuandu Mountain, I always looked at the beautiful woman through a gauze, although I knew the beauty of the beautiful woman, but I couldn't understand it clearly, and I was helpless. When I fought against Sang Jingxing and exhausted my martial arts, I only knew that I would put it away. The true meaning of life after death, starting from scratch can make "Zhu Yang Ce" play the biggest role, but it is easier to give up everything in this world. People like Dou Yanshan and Duan Wenyang, even if they know that "Zhu Yang Ce" can reshape the meridians, you Are they willing to abolish their decades of cultivation and start over?"
Yan Wushi didn't speak.
Shen Qiao didn't need the other person to answer, he smiled and said, "I don't need them to answer in person, I also know that there must be very few people who are willing to do this, not to mention others, even if it is me, I have to lose my martial arts as a last resort. Before, I also had many concerns. But I was skeptical. Even if I reluctantly abolished martial arts, I would not be able to practice "Zhu Yang Ce" well. To use a Buddhist verse, that is, you must first give up your life and die before you can let go of everything. Feel free."
"But the heart of the devil is different from the heart of the Tao, and your martial arts are not completely useless. You just need to repair the flaws. It must be much easier than I was at the beginning."
Yan Wushi: "You, what are you talking about?"
Shen Qiao: "You once said that only an equal opponent can be qualified to stand on the same level as you. Back then, I really didn't have that qualification, and now I'm not as good as you before. With your ability, It's only a matter of time before the flaws in the devil's heart are made up, and martial arts will be restored to its original state one day. Those words just now are all my experience when I practiced "Zhu Yang Ce". I hope it will be helpful to you. As a martial arts practitioner, I naturally I also hope that one day I can fight with you dignifiedly and happily."
Yan Wushi: "I am, Xie Ling."
Shen Qiao: "I know, but these words, not only you, but also your other temperaments must be able to hear them."
Yan Wushi looked at him and remained silent.
Shen Qiao was obviously used to it. In his impression, this was the reaction of the temperament of "Xie Ling".
He patted the other person's shoulder: "It's getting late, let's go to sleep."
After a while, the other party closed his eyes.
Shen Qiao closed his eyes and continued to cross his knees to rest.
After a few days, Shen Qiao guessed that Chen Gong and his party were in a hurry to return to Qi, and they would not stay in Tuyuhun for too long. At this time, they might have arrived at Tuyuhun King City, and even left Tuyuhun, so they left the town and met Yan Wu. The teacher returned to the Tuyuhun King City after a long absence.
I really didn't encounter Chen Gong and others along the way. At this time, it has been a while since the Panlong Club. All the heroes in the Central Plains have left the king's city. It's too conspicuous, and if you go further inland, it may not cause trouble, so I took off the Taoist robe, put on an ordinary Han clothes, and brought a set of women's clothes and rouge gouache, and put it in front of Yan Wushi.
Yan Wushi looked at him speechlessly.
Shen Qiao coughed lightly: "Your appearance is too conspicuous, let's do some dressing up."
Yan Wushi didn't speak, and the expression on his face was obviously saying: Then why didn't you change into women's clothes
Shen Qiao: "When you change into women's clothes, you can wear a mili, and others know that they are female relatives. Generally, in order to avoid suspicion, they will not take a second look, but if you continue to wear men's clothes, you will meet such careful people as Dou Yanshan and Duan Wenyang. If you can see the clues, in order to avoid troubles before you meet the people of Huanyue Sect, women's clothing is the safest choice."
The two stared at each other for a long time.
Shen Qiao frowned: "Will you wear it?"
Yan Wushi shook his head: "What will happen if you don't wear it?"
Shen Qiao: "Then I'll order your acupoints, wear them for you, and hire a carriage to take you on the road. Although this is a bit of a hassle, at least I can save a lot of trouble."
Yan Wushi lowered his eyelids: "Wear it."
"Good." Shen Qiao was relieved, and thought that Xie Ling was good at talking.
The temples are white, and the hair is still tied in a bun. There is no need to change it. Many women do this on weekdays. The eyebrows need to be slightly trimmed, rouge on the cheeks, and mouth grease on the lips. Just have a general appearance. You don't have to pay too much attention to detail, and then put on women's embroidered shoes. Although her figure looks awkward and her expression is stiff and cold, she finally looks handsome and heroic, which is a unique style.
Seeing him tense, Shen Qiao smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, the portraits of Taoist ancestors on Xuandu Mountain in the past are outdated, and I repainted them in red and colored each stroke by stroke. ."
After everything was done, he got up and looked at it from the beginning to the end, and nodded: "It's okay, you can take a self-portrait in the mirror."
The other party was obviously not interested in glancing at the bronze mirror for a moment, and immediately put the power fence on.
Out of sight is pure.
