Ah Qing was young and grew up in Weizhou. He was content with the status quo and had never seen the outside world. There were two more people in his family. He was naturally very curious. Every day, I still take the opportunity of delivering meals to occasionally chat with Shen Qiao.
Of course, if Yan Wushi gave him ten more courage, he wouldn't dare to talk to others - the young man has an almost beast-like intuition, he is still very clear about who is good to talk and who can't be provoked.
On this day, as usual, he knocked on Shen Qiao's door with the prepared meals.
No one answered inside, but Ah Qing was obviously used to it. In the daytime, after Shen Qiao woke up, she would practice swordsmanship in the yard outside. Ah Qing pushed the door and went in, put the basket on the table, and put the white porridge and side dishes one by one. side out.
The sound of footsteps sounded behind him, A Qing raised a smile and turned her head: "Shen Langjun, you are back, just in time..."
Halfway through the words, he stopped abruptly. He almost choked to death on his own saliva.
"You don't seem to want to see me." Yan Wushi raised his eyebrows and walked in, as usual.
He didn't wear the women's clothes when he first came to the door, and even his hair on the temples returned to the original color.
But Ah Qing felt inexplicably frightened, and didn't even dare to look him in the eye, and she lost the original randomness, so she quickly stood up and held her hands: "A Qing dare not, it was Uncle Wu who told Ah Qing to be more respectful to the lord and not to offend him. ."
Yan Wushi's thin lips twitched slightly, and he sat down directly in front of the case with a casual posture: "You are so strict with me, but so casual with Shen Qiao, obviously you like him very much?"
Ah Qing stammered: "Shen Langjun, he is very good!"
Yan Wushi snorted: "He is really good to everyone. Even if he is embarrassed and feels disturbed, he will not show his face."
In A Qing's mind, Shen Qiao has almost all the perfect qualities he yearns for. He has a good temperament, a good-looking life, great martial arts, and treats people kindly. Such a person, not to mention A Qing, is probably the same age as A Qing. Young people will admire and like him. Ah Qing is in this mansion, only Wu Bo is the only company every day, and he doesn't even have a playmate of similar age. Suddenly there is a Shen Qiao, and naturally he has a close heart and wants to be with him more. In two words, this is a very normal thing.
But when it came to Yan Wushi's mouth, it carried an unusual meaning or two. When Ah Qing heard this, he felt a little sad and lost. He thought that he came to talk to him every day, so he was embarrassed
The teenager lowered his head like an emotional puppy.
But Yan Wushi wouldn't have any pity, and the last sentence added fuel to the fire and made a final decision: "So you must have self-knowledge."
Ah Qing: "Yes."
His voice was low, almost to the point of tears.
At this moment, Shen Qiao came in from the outside with the sword in hand. There was still a thin sweat on his face, but because of this, his face became paler and paler, and it seemed to be covered with a faint halo.
"What's wrong?" He saw the two of them standing and sitting, and he didn't know what to do.
"Why are you in my room?" The second sentence was asked by Yan Wushi.
Yan Wushi said with a smile: "I smelled the fragrance of the rice, so I came over to eat it."
Shen Qiao frowned: "Didn't Ah Qing send you there too?"
Yan Wushi said leisurely: "Eating one's own, how can you eat other people's incense, and seeing others' appetite, you can also eat well."
Shen Qiao didn't believe a word of what he said, he always felt a little weird, as if something had happened before he came in.
"A Qing?" Seeing him bowing his head, Shen Qiao said softly, "What's wrong with you?"
"No, it's nothing! The lord and Shen Langjun will use it slowly first, and I will clean up after you finish eating!" After that, he hurriedly turned around and ran out.
With a glance from the corner of the eye, the corner of the boy's eyes seemed to be a little red, and Shen Qiao became more and more suspicious. Looking at Ah Qing's back, he turned to ask Yan Wushi, "What did you just say to him?"
Yan Wushi said with a smile: "Ah Qiao, your tone is like an old hen who protects her cubs! Don't forget, A Qing is my person, how I want to treat him is normal, and others get closer. At one point, you treat him differently, we have been walking together for so long, why haven't you seen your attitude towards me changed?"
If it is said that Shen Qiao's expression was just ordinary, at this moment there is not even the slightest turbulence left: "Sect Master Yan does not care about my attitude."
The flaws are revealed. When his temperament changes greatly, he actually feels it himself, like an extra pair of eyes looking at the outside world, but he can only see and cannot control his body.
So he can also "see" how Shen Qiao gets along with his other temperaments, even if it's the gentle "Ayan", Shen Qiao still has three points of vigilance, but when he was in Ruoqiang, he should not have been there At that time, "Xie Ling", who woke up, tried his best to control his body and turned around to look for Shen Qiao. Yan Wushi, who was in a deep sleep state at the time, watched Shen Qiao smile at "Xie Ling" with a cold eye. At that time, he could also feel Shen Qiao. The inner vibration.
This life has a soft heart. When others give him a point, he will give back ten points. After experiencing things like Chen Gong and Yu Ai, others will not be full of resentment, at least they will be cold-hearted, but this On the contrary, people cherish kindness more, even if this kindness seems insignificant to others.
That's why Shen Qiao looked at Xie Ling differently.
Maybe from then on, Shen Qiao really regarded "Xie Ling" as an independent person, only when facing him, separated him from Yan Wushi, how kind Shen Qiao was to the former, How indifferent to the latter.
But the more so, the more interested Yan Wushi felt.
He used to tease Shen Qiao for two purposes. First, he felt that this person was a bit ridiculous. He was betrayed many times and still didn't learn well. Everyone has evil in their hearts. It's just that they hide deep or shallow. Therefore, he did everything possible to draw out the maliciousness in the other party's heart, and secondly, it was also to root the devil's heart in his body, to test the result of the fusion of the devil's heart and the Tao's heart, and to use Shen Qiao as his own test object.
Unexpectedly, the world is impermanent, Shen Qiao did not follow the direction he set at all, but took a completely different path. Rao has gone through many hardships and has a sinister human heart. A "Xie Ling" is willing to be gentle and cheerful, and treat each other with love.
Should such a person be called stupid or stubborn
But in Yan Wushi's view, "Xie Ling" or Yan Wushi, whether evil or good, pain or beauty, should be special to Shen Qiao, and there is no need for other cats and dogs to come again. Thin this kind of special.
After listening to Shen Qiao's words, Yan Wushi said with a smile: "Who said that I am not rare, I am very rare, if you are willing to give me one-twelfth of Xie Ling, I don't know how happy I am ."
Shen Qiao listened without listening, lowered his head and concentrated on drinking porridge.
Now as long as "Xie Ling" doesn't appear, what Yan Wushi said, he only listens to half of the ten sentences, and this half sentence has to be broken and chewed, so as not to repeat the same mistakes, if a person falls into the same sentence twice Heli, that would be too sad. Although Shen Qiao didn't think he was a smart person, he wasn't that stupid.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Yan Wushi smiled and didn't speak any more. He picked up the porridge bowl and started to eat.
These few days are the most peaceful and comfortable days for the two of them, not to mention the series of thrilling events in the Ruoqiang underground. Since they left Tuyuhun, Yan Wushi's flaws have not been eliminated, while Shen Qiao has to deal with his constantly changing Temperament, while paying attention to the movement outside, just because Yan Wushi has enemies all over the world, so he can't relax for a moment. It was not until he entered here that he felt a little at ease and could focus on the cultivation of Zhu Yangce's true qi.
As for Yan Wushi and Shen Qiao, although he didn't ask in detail, it can be seen from the other party's performance that his temperament has gradually stabilized, and there is rarely a situation where his temperament changes drastically when he wakes up. It must be the content of the silk film. Inspired by Yan Wushi, with his ability, it will only be a matter of time before the flaws in the devil's heart will be healed. At that time, "Feng Lin Yuan Dian" will take it to the next level. Even if this person's martial arts progress is not invincible in the world, it will not be far behind. Even if the five masters join forces again, they may not be able to win Yan Wushi.
It's a pity Xie Ling... Shen Qiao's heart passed a touch of melancholy, and he sighed secretly.
Yan Wushi suddenly asked: "Why do you treat A Qing with special respect? It's not because he is similar to Xie Ling, which makes you empathize?"
In front of him, Shen Qiao has become extremely silent now, if he can't speak, he will never say more, but Yan Wushi seems to have guessed his mood and smiled slightly: "You like him, but I just don't like him, you If you don't want to give a reason, I will let Uncle Wu drive him out after you leave."
But Shen Qiao didn't buy it: "Sect Master Yan always does whatever he wants, and he can do whatever he wants. There is no room for me to talk about it."
Yan Wushi said with a smile: "Okay, then I won't drive him out, please tell me, okay?"
A man can bend and stretch, and Sect Master Yan will do anything to achieve his goals. He never pays attention to the word morality. A dignified master-level master, he asks for words casually. He thinks it doesn't matter, but others can't listen.
Shen Qiao eats soft and not hard, Yan Wushi has already figured out this point for him. Anyway, it is not painful to say soft words. For others, it is a matter of dignity and backbone, but people in the magic door do not pay attention to this.
Sure enough, although Shen Qiao showed discomfort, he still said, "A Qing is a bit like an apprentice I accepted."
Yan Wushi smiled and said, "How come I didn't know you accepted an apprentice?"
Shen Qiao said lightly: "You also know him, he is the fifteenth person in the White Dragon Temple."
When he mentioned this, he inevitably thought of Guanzhu and the first day of the first year, and how they died.
In addition to self-blame, naturally, Yan Wushi didn't have a good face.
Well, which pot can't be opened and lifted, Yan Wushi is extremely smart, and he doesn't get sick at the moment, so he can't figure out the cause and effect.
But he didn't seem to see the rejection written "I don't want to talk to you" written on Shen Qiao's face, but continued to smile: "I have seen fifteen, and the aptitude of the root bone is really good, if you meet a master, it may not be impossible in the future Achievement."
Shen Qiao was also convinced by this shameless behavior.
He was about to issue an order to evict the guest when there was a faint knock on the door outside the house.
This place is separated from the front door by two aisles and a yard, but the martial arts practitioners had good ears, so they both heard Ah Qing replied "come here" and trotted to open the door.
Xie's house was always quiet and rarely visited. Uncle Wu went out to buy vegetables, usually through the back door, and almost never went out through the front door.
Almost at the same moment, Shen Qiao and Yan Wushi suddenly felt strange in their hearts. It was an indescribable mystery. It was similar to having a good heart, but it was a feeling that only a certain level of master would appear.
The Mountain and River Tongsei Sword was placed on the side, and with the movement of Ah Qing opening the door, Shen Qiao's hand was already on the scabbard.
"Who is it?" Ah Qing's voice came from afar.
"The little benefactor is well, dare to ask this is the Xie mansion?"
As soon as he heard this voice, Shen Qiao's expression changed.
Even if he didn't have much interaction with the other party, how could he not recognize it!
But they walked carefully along the way. Although it was not seamless, they tried their best not to show any signs. Why did Zen Master Xueting come to the door so quickly
Could it be Chen Gong's side...
The two looked at each other, but Yan Wushi's face was calm, not even changing much.
Shen Qiao said in a deep voice, "You go to hide for a while, and I'll meet him."
With their current cultivation level, neither of them is Xueting's opponent, but Xueting's goal is not Shen Qiao, even if they can't beat it, Shen Qiao can always leave.
Yan Wushi raised his eyebrows: "I'm afraid it's too late."
As soon as the words fell, Xueting's voice sounded in the courtyard: "Sect Master Yan is really very personable, and the poor monk really admires it."
But in the blink of an eye, A Qing who came from the gate to the yard outside the room was still yelling and chasing after him panting, but let alone grabbing the corner of his clothes, he couldn't even chase Xueting's shadow. superior.
Just the ability to not touch the dust and shrink the ground into feet, few people in the arena can do it.
The door of the room was not closed at first, and from the perspective of Shen Qiao and Yan Wushi, it was natural to see that there was another monk in robes outside.
Yan Wushi said: "The old bald donkey is really haunted. You joined hands with those few clowns who jumped on the beam and plotted against me. I haven't settled with you yet. You are so embarrassed to come to the door!"
Zen Master Xue Ting folded his hands together, bowed first, and said, "The poor monk did not expect that Sect Master Yan was so powerful. Under the siege of the five great masters, he could still hide from the sky and cross the sea without any harm."
He greeted Shen Qiao again and said, "Shen Taoist is also here, what a coincidence."
Zen Master Xueting's tone was calm, without the slightest hint of fireworks. As for whether there is any hidden irony in this "good coincidence", I am afraid that only he himself knows.
Yan Wushi laughed: "Apart from you, the old bald donkey in Xue Ting, the rest are just mediocre. With five to one, you can't even kill this seat. It's a pile of waste, and you're embarrassed to be called a master? You Xue Ting are still willing to Since I surrendered my identity and called them together, I really lived and went back!"
Zen Master Xueting was unmoved, his face was calm, and there was no hostility in the eyes of Yan Wushi: "The new generation replaces the old, the poor monks are old, and sooner or later, they will have to be virtuous. With time, Duan Shizhu, Dou Gangzhu and others may not be comparable. Poor monk."
"Sect Master Yan has returned from the dead, everything is as usual, in all fairness, the poor monk admires it very much. Sect Master Yan must also know that the higher the martial arts, the more difficult it will be to meet a comparable opponent. If there is a choice, the poor monk is also willing to Making tea and playing games with Sect Master Yan and learning martial arts are both friends and opponents."
"However, in an extraordinary situation, we can only do extraordinary things. If there is Sect Master Yan, Yuwen Yong will have no scruples, and Buddhism will be suppressed for a day. For the prosperity of Buddhism, the poor monk can only do this, not because of personal resentment, but also Sect Master Yan, please forgive me."
The implication is that when he came here today, he certainly couldn't come back empty-handed, but wanted a result.
Shen Qiao: "Dare to ask Master, how do you know that Yan Wushi is here?"
Xue Ting: "The monks don't lie and tell the truth, the poor monk met Chen Gong in Chang'an, because the Hehuan Sect Yan Shou had hurt the poor monk's disciples, and Chen Gong was close to the Hehuan Sect, so the poor monk wanted to ask him. When he asked about Yan Shou's whereabouts, Chen Gong claimed that he didn't know, and in order to escape, he told him that Sect Master Yan was not dead, and he even got the news of the "Zhu Yang Ce" fragment."
When Chen Gong parted, he once promised Shen Qiao and the others that he would never reveal Yan Wushi's whereabouts, but Shen Qiao had no expectations for his so-called promise.
Shen Qiao: "But from Chang'an to Tuyuhun, there are still several prefectures in the middle. It is impossible for Chen Gong to know where we will go and where we will stop."
Xue Ting: "Yes, the poor monk came all the way from Chang'an and settled in Weizhou. He was planning to leave tomorrow, but inadvertently overheard the conversation between the two. He is delighted that the family has recently doubled their demand for no apparent reason."
Shen Qiao sighed: "Master is meticulous and observant. If this ability alone is used in arresting robbers and deciding cases, I am afraid that there will be no more unjust cases in the world."
Xue Ting: "Thank you Taoist Master Shen for your praise. Today, the poor monk took the liberty to come to the door, but he is really here for Sect Master Yan. Taoist Shen has nothing to do with this, so please don't get involved in it to avoid accidental injury."
Shen Qiao: "It's a coincidence, the master wants to kill him, but I want to protect him."
Xue Ting showed a slightly surprised look: "As far as the poor monk knows, there is no friendship between the Demon Sect and the Taoist Sect. Instead, Yan Wushi has repeatedly been ungrateful to Taoist Shen, repaying virtue with resentment. I don't know why Taoist Shen still protects him?"
Shen Qiao: "As the master said, in one day, Yuwen Yong will be safe and sound. Throughout the world, the state of Qi has been destroyed, only the two states of Zhou and Chen are powerful, but the Southern Dynasty has its own Confucianism to protect it, and there is no room for Buddhism to intervene. , Master repeatedly wants to kill Yan Wushi, is it not paving the way for the Turks to enter the Central Plains?"
Xueting said loudly: "So, Daoist Shen is also on the side of Lord Zhou?"
Shen Qiao: "Not bad."
Xueting sighed slightly: "It seems that today the poor monk can only pass the level of Taoist Shen first."
As soon as the word "la" came out, the purple gold rod lightly touched the bluestone slab, and the dull sound seemed to explode in Shen Qiao's ears.
At the same time, there was a slamming sound of mountains and rivers and the sword of sadness unsheathed, Shen Qiao flew up, and the sword and the stick met in the air, instantly interweaving countless light and shadows, and the internal force spread from the place where the two met, like Ah Qing. A person with no foundation in martial arts was shocked on the spot, his ears hurt, he shouted, and he had to take a few steps back, until it was better to hide behind the wall.
Shen Qiao originally thought that someone like Yan Wushi, who was good at judging the situation and lacked the psychological burden of a grand master, didn't need to explain. When he saw that he stumbled on Xue Ting, he would turn around and leave first. Who knew that he would fight Xue Ting several times. Wu Shi was still standing there motionless.
"You still don't leave, what are you doing!" Shen Qiao said angrily.
"Ah Qiao, don't be impatient, I want to go, but you have to ask the old bald donkey if he will let me go."
Yan Wushi raised the corners of his lips slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.
As if in response to his words, two young monks, also wearing robes and hairless, appeared on the roof tiles at the same time.
"Poor monk Liansheng."
"The poor monk lotus is gone."
The two said in unison, "I have seen Sect Master Yan!"
