Shen Qiao took Yuwen up the mountain, while Yan Wushi was always attached to the back, looking left and right, with a leisurely attitude.
After the big change in Bixia Sect, there were very few people in the sect, and they had to guard and patrol around the sect. Not even a manpower to set up a sentry at the foot of the mountain was dispatched. Shen Qiao was unimpeded all the way. I saw a figure walking with a sword.
"I don't know where the masters are, come to Bixia Sect!" The other party saw that it was Shen Qiao after saying this, and his face suddenly turned into overjoyed, even his tone was very different, "Shen Taoist, it's you!"
Shen Qiao said with a smile: "Yuan Bai, your martial arts have improved again, it's really gratifying to congratulate you!"
Fan Yuanbai was Yue Kunchi's apprentice, and naturally he was a junior of Shen Qiao, so there was nothing wrong with calling him by his first name. Shen Qiao fought against Kunxie that day, everyone in Bixia Sect saw it with their own eyes, and they were very clear about his abilities, so when Shen Qiao said this, Fan Yuanbai became more and more happy: "Thank you, Daoist Shen for your praise, please come in here, Master. Zun and Sect Master Shishu are all thinking of you. Seeing that you haven't heard from you for so long, they also asked someone to inquire about you. I heard that you fought against the two elders of the Hehuan Sect in Chang'an and killed them under the sword. The Bixia Sect is very happy, you are really amazing!"
He usually doesn't talk much in front of outsiders, but after getting acquainted with people, he talks a bit endlessly. Shen Qiao smiled and listened without interrupting him, he said enough.
There are many fewer Bixia Sect disciples, but people’s hearts have become more united, and a lot has been lost. After experiencing sadness, everyone’s faces were filled with smiles, and they became more harmonious with each other. The only Bixia Sect disciples they met along the way were young. There are two or three cats, but Shen Qiao's great deeds to Bixia Zong really turned the tide. When everyone saw Shen Qiao, they all reacted like Fan Yuanbai. Because of Shen Qiao's face, Yan Wushi and Yu Wensang followed him up the mountain. No additional cross-examination was given.
It's just that Yan Wushi's appearance is too dazzling, and it is inevitable that he will receive a lot of curious looks. In contrast, Yu Wenchan is not very conspicuous.
Zhao Chiying happened to be discussing matters with Yue Kunchi, and when she heard that Shen Qiao was back, she hurriedly came out to greet him in person.
After many days, Zhao Chiying has the same demeanor as before. Her appearance is not perfect, but she is beautiful Shen Qiao had never seen Sect Master Yuan Xiuxiu before.
Zhao Chiying smiled and said, "Daoist Shen is finally back, Mount Tai is located on the coast of the East China Sea, thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and the news is slow to pass. We just heard about your deeds of fighting one against three outside Chang'an City, but it is still from Taoist Shen. I was overwhelmed by style, I didn't expect to say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here!"
Shen Qiao returned the salute: "I've been gone for a long time, leaving fifteen here, causing trouble to Sect Master Zhao and everyone!"
Zhao Chiying: "Shen Dao is very serious. Fifteen is a good boy. He learned self-discipline at a young age, and he doesn't need to be supervised by others. Every day before dawn, he has morning classes with the disciples of the Bixia Sect, and he never stops studying.
Shen Qiao was naturally relieved to hear that, and exchanged a few words with Yue Kunchi.
Zhao Chiying had already seen one big and one small behind him, and she smiled at this moment: "I don't know who these two are?"
Shen Qiao coughed lightly: "One is Sect Master Yan of Huanyue Sect, and the young one is called Yu Wensang, a child I brought from Chang'an."
Coming from Chang'an and surnamed Yuwen, as long as you have heard the story of Shen Qiao fighting the Hehuan Sect and bringing out the orphans of Yuwen's family among thousands of troops, it is not difficult to guess the identity of Yuwen Chan.
However, everyone's attention was attracted by his first half sentence.
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, and the identity of the Sect Master of the Huanyue Sect were revealed, everyone's reaction was a slight shock in their hearts, and the curious eyes looking at Yan Wushi suddenly became complicated, with awe and fear , shock, disbelief, etc., to name a few.
Most of the disciples of Bixia Sect have not seen Yan Wushi with their own eyes, but it does not prevent them from hearing many legends about Yan Wushi. Yan Wushi, who can tie with these two and are evenly matched, is about to become a legendary existence.
In the scrutiny of such various eyes, Yan Wushi stood with his hands behind his back, his expression relaxed, and there was no discomfort at all, obviously he was used to it.
Shen Qiao went down the mountain to save people. There were all kinds of ups and downs in the process. Zhao Chiying heard about it, but after all, she was far away and didn't know very well. She didn't expect Shen Qiao to save someone, but even brought them back. After being shocked for a while, he just came back to his senses and cupped his hands: "I have heard the name of Sect Master Yan for a long time. Zhao Chiying of the next Bixia Sect welcomes Sect Master Yan. It's just that the sect is humble. If there is any inappropriate reception, please Haihan!"
As the head of Zhao Chiying's faction, this attitude can be regarded as very solemn and polite.
After all, Yan Wushi has a reputation for being moody, and Zhao Chiying didn't want to make the other party unhappy because of his rudeness in details.
Yan Wushi: "Zhao Zong is just in charge of affairs, and his style is strict. I have heard it before. On the way, A Qiao also praised Zhao Zongzhu. I saw it today, and it really lives up to its reputation. I hope my rash visit will not make Zhao Zongzhu. Difficult."
Hey, this answer is quite normal!
Not only Zhao Chiying was surprised, but even Shen Qiao was a little surprised.
At this moment, Yan Wushi was smiling, gentle and polite, and his whole body exuded a "good talk" temperament.
It's just that the name "A Qiao" seems to be a little too intimate. Shen Qiao becomes numb after hearing it too much. Others think it's weird, and they can't tell why, only that the relationship between Shen Qiao and the Huanyue Sect's Sect Master is extraordinary. .
With such a good beginning, the next step was much smoother. They greeted each other and took their seats. Fifteen heard the news and ran over. The meeting between master and apprentice was another touching scene. Everyone jumped into Shen Qiao's arms directly, and Shen Qiao was very relieved to see that he had grown taller.
Yu Wenchan looked at the future senior brother, curious, but a little disappointed.
It is obvious that the other party is older than himself, but his words and deeds are weaker than himself. When he is so dependent on the master, when will he be able to stand on his own
But he forgot that he was in a state of panic in the few days he left Chang'an, and he had to see Shen Qiao's figure every night before he could fall asleep peacefully.
For the time being, these little sons and daughters put their minds to rest, Zhao Chiying said to Shen Qiao: "Shen Daochang came back just in time, Bixia Sect is now withered, and urgently needs to admit new disciples. My brother and I are worried about this matter. ?"
Yue Kunchi said euphemistically: "Sect Master, Daochang Shen and his party have just arrived, and I'm afraid of hard work. Would you like to take a break and discuss it again?"
After his reminder, Zhao Chiying was a little embarrassed: "Senior brother is right, I'm in a hurry, let Yuan Bai take you to rest first, how about Daochang Shen staying in the house last time?"
Shen Qiao nodded: "Very good, Sect Master Zhao has to worry about it, Qilang can live next door to Fifteen, and it is also convenient for the two of them to communicate with each other."
Zhao Chiying: "Okay, there is a bamboo building on the east side of this gate, which is exclusively for distinguished guests. If Sect Master Yan doesn't dislike it, you can stay there."
The house that Shen Qiao lived in last time was where the elders of the sect lived. This is what Bixiazong meant by not treating him as an outsider, but if Yan Wushi was allowed to live there, it would be a bit neglectful.
Yan Wushi said, "Don't bother, I can live with Ah Qiao."
Zhao Chiying's expression froze: "Ah? Isn't this inconvenient?"
Yan Wushi raised his eyebrows: "What's the inconvenience, I'm going out, and I'll also arrange it like this. I don't know how many times I've lived with him in this seat."
Although it was the same thing, it seemed that the taste had changed from his mouth, and Shen Qiao had to say: "It doesn't matter if you are out of the house and follow the power in a hurry, now that Sect Master Yan can live more comfortably, If he refuses, it will be against Sect Master Zhao's good intentions."
Yan Wushi: "It doesn't matter, I have a very special relationship with A Qiao. Since he has green eyes on Bixia Sect, you don't have to treat this seat as an outsider, you can do whatever you want, and he won't even have an empty room next to him. No more?"
Although he was talking with a smile, Zhao Chiying clearly felt the intimidating pressure from it. Under such gaze, even his scalp could not help but tense, and before thinking carefully, the words blurted out: "Yes, yes... "
Yan Wushi smiled slightly: "That's fine."
His smile was different from the previous one, and Zhao Chiying obviously felt the pressure on his body lightened.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly called Fan Yuanbai and asked him to take a few people to rest.
After Shen Qiao and others left, there were only two brothers and sisters left in the council room, Yue Kunchi showed a relieved expression: "Sect Master Yan wants to live next door, and it's not that there is no vacant room, so let him go, I don't think Taoist Shen is firmly opposed, it is clear It was acquiescence, just now I wanted to persuade you not to go against Sect Master Yan's intentions, but who knew that he was almost speechless."
He didn't know why Shen Qiao didn't firmly oppose it, that was because he knew it was useless to oppose it.
Zhao Chiying smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of my brother's teasing, I'm not much better than you. Bixia Sect and Huanyue Sect have never communicated, and the temple can't hold a big Buddha. Zong is not good?"
Yue Kunchi could see it openly: "With Daochang Shen here, it must not be so. It is said that Yan Wushi's temperament is repeated. We should be more careful, and let the disciples be more careful in their words and deeds, so as not to offend him."
Zhao Chiying nodded: "That's right."
But he said that Fan Yuanbai took Shen Qiao and the others to the house where they rested. The house was cleaned all the year round, it was clean, and there were some water bamboo orchids in it, which was extraordinarily elegant.
"Sect Master Yan and Daochang Shen need to send someone to say anything. I'll be on call at any time." Fan Yuanbai wanted to say a few more words to Shen Qiao, but seeing that Yan Wushi was always standing by his side, he couldn't say anything more. , can only finish dryly, hurriedly end the conversation, and run away.
At fifteen years old, he was still young, so he didn't feel much. He finally waited until Shen Qiao and Zhao Chiying finished their conversation, and had the time to reminisce in private. Although there were Yan Wushi and Yu Wenchan next to him, it didn't prevent him from pulling Shen Qiao expressed his longing: "Master, you have been gone for too long, this disciple misses you so much."
Shen Qiao touched his head: "Because the teacher is outside, naturally I miss you very much. I heard that you have a good life in Bixia Sect. Have you grown a little taller?"
Fifteen nodded shyly: "The senior brothers of Bixia Sect treated me very well. After Master left, I practiced swords every day, and I didn't dare to disappoint Master's expectations. Now I have been able to use a complete set of Canglang Sword Art. Out!"
There was a bit of a coquettish and complimented tone in these words. Yu Wensang couldn't help but secretly pouted, thinking that he was still a few years older than me. Could it be that I want to call him senior brother in the future
Shen Qiao said with a smile: "Really, then you can come and have a look now."
Fifteen hesitated: "Could it disturb Master's rest?"
Shen Qiao: "We took a rest at the foot of the mountain last night, it's not past noon now, the time is very early, so I'm not tired for the teacher."
Hearing this, Fifteen happily went to get his sword.
He has been learning swords for less than a year, and he is just a beginner in kendo, so he is holding a wooden sword instead of a real sword.
Under the watchful eyes of the three of them, he stood up to salute, stretched out his hand to hold a sword flower, made a starter gesture, raised his sword and dropped his hand, every move and every move was well-established, quite satisfactory, not bad, of course not very good, compared to Yu Wenchan's talent is still slightly inferior, but Fifteen knows that his talent is ordinary, so he naturally redoubles his efforts, and he is already proficient in a set of swordsmanship.
"Master, please advise." Fifteen took his sword and stood still, earnestly earnestly speaking.
Shen Qiao didn't want to hit him, so he picked some advantages first and said, "The moves are generally skilled, and it can be seen that the hard work has not been slack these days."
Then he said: "However, some moves in the swordsmanship are not used correctly, which will affect the power in the future. I have only demonstrated it for you once for the teacher, and it is difficult for you to remember all of them. Now I will interpret this swordsmanship from beginning to end. , look carefully, and you might as well compare it with your own."
Fifteen said solemnly, "Yes."
Shen Qiao didn't use the mountain and river with the sad sword, but took the wooden sword in his hand and smiled slightly: "Canglang Sword Art, as the name suggests, the sea is boundless and the waves are turbulent. It is splendid and majestic, what a majestic sight this is. Those who practice this set of swordsmanship must have the atmosphere of the sea and rivers in mind, so as to bring out its essence. Climbing Mount Tai and watching the sea, you may wish to climb higher and look farther. , As time goes by, I will realize something.”
After saying these words, before Fifteen could react, he raised his sword!
The same wooden sword, in the hands of two different people, exerts completely different powers. If the fifteenth is only a first glimpse of the door, and a set of swordsmanship dances is mediocre, which makes Yu Wenchan quite bored, then when When Shen Qiao picked up the sword and dropped it, his eyes widened, and he could hardly believe that the two used the same set of swordsmanship.
The sword wind was swept away, and the sword shadows were heavy. Even without the use of True Qi, the wooden sword seemed to glow with luster. With Shen Qiao's moves and moves, Yu Wensang seemed to really see the surging sea, the flying rain. The clouds turned, the blue rainbow entered the water, and among the white waves of thousands of feet, there was only one person.
There is only this person left in front of him, and there is only this person left between heaven and earth.
Even after a set of swordsmanship was finished, Shen Qiao stood and stood still, Yu Wenchan still had the vision of the talent left in front of him, which lingered for a long time.
Yan Wushi smiled: "A Qiao is in the kendo, it can be said that he is superb, and he has achieved the status of a master."
Shen Qiao smiled: "Thank you Sect Master Yan for your love."
Naturally, his sword dance was not to win Yan Wushi's admiration, but for Shi Shi and Yu Wen Chan: "Do you have anything to gain?"
Fifteen said indifferently, "Forgive the disciple's clumsy tongue, but his heart is full of excitement, as if a lot of things are about to come out of his chest, but if you want to describe it, you can't describe it."
Shen Qiao said warmly: "It doesn't matter, it is impossible for anyone to become a Buddha at a glance. You slowly understand, and if you don't understand anything, just ask."
Fifteen thanks.
Shen Qiao asked Yu Wensang again: "You haven't started yet. These days, you have only practiced a little meditation to cultivate your mind. It doesn't matter if you can't say it."
Yuwen recited: "There are thousands of words in my heart, but only a few words can cover them up."
He always spoke in such an old-fashioned tone, and Shen Qiao found it funny: "How many words?"
Yuwen recited: "It's as if the moon is covered with light clouds, and the wind is like the snow returning to the wind. When you look at it from a distance, it's like the sun is rising.
This is the song of the beauty of Luoshen in "Luo Shen Fu".
Shen Qiao: "..."
He was a bit dumbfounded, but he couldn't help but say that Yu Wensang did catch a trace of the Canglang Sword Art, that is, "the chest is full of air, and the sword is light and elegant".
From this point of view, Yu Wenchan is indeed stronger than the 15th aptitude.
Yan Wushi sneered silently: "He doesn't have the slightest foundation of martial arts, and reading "Luo Shen Fu" is just a coincidence, if such talent is used in tongues, it will be wasted, let me polish him well! "
After speaking, without waiting for others to react, he placed a palm on Yu Wensang's shoulder, the latter's body sank involuntarily, and then the acupuncture point on his upper body was hit!
"Sect Master Yan?" Yu Wenchan was stunned, maintaining the movement of being forced to sprint, completely unable to move. The worst thing was that he didn't know what he said or did wrong.
When Yan Wushi saw Shen Qiao open his mouth to speak, he seemed to laugh but said: "If you make frivolous remarks to your master, even in places like the Huanyue Sect that you regard as a demon, you should also be punished as a crime, Ah Qiao, your disciple. So gentle, but I can't help you teach the rules."
Shen Qiao said with a stern face: "Sect Master Yan finally stopped robbing me for apprentices?"
Yan Wushi said slowly: "For the sake of his life, it's better not to rob it, or I'm afraid that the first day I accept the apprentice will kill the apprentice."
…
On the first day of the meeting, apart from Shen Qiao and Shi Shi, no one saw how Yan Wushi treated Yu Wenchan. All Bixia Sect disciples felt that he was a person who was easy to get along with, which was completely different from the legend.
But the next day, they realized they were wrong.
The disciples gave morning classes and practiced martial arts together on the sect square. Yan Wushi stood by the side with his hands behind his back. Even if Yue Kunchi or Zhao Chiying demonstrated in person, he could pick out the faults, with a light and condescending tone.
Dissatisfied with the disciples of Bixia Sect, they took the initiative to challenge them. They were knocked to the ground one by one without any accident. In the end, even Zhao Chiying and Yue Kunchi were defeated by him. Yan Wushi has already selected the Bixia Sect from top to bottom.
Of course, with the ability of Sect Master Yan, it is not difficult to destroy other people's sects, but you are a grand master-level master, and you don't want to find a comparable opponent to learn from, and take the initiative to bully other people's small sects What is going on? Can't it be just to find a sense of achievement and make yourself happy
If it weren't for Shen Qiao's presence, Bixiazong would almost think that this person was here to smash the scene.
Facing the defeated soldiers in one place, Shen Qiao could only apologize to Zhao Chiying with a wry smile.
Zhao Chiying was still in a good mood, but instead he waved his hand and smiled: "Sect Master Yan just saw that our martial arts were not good enough, so he just pointed out that there is such an opportunity, it is too late for Bixia Sect to be happy."
When she said this, everyone felt that it was indeed the case.
There are many of them who may not be able to reach the level of martial arts masters in their lifetime, let alone Wang Yan Wushi's back. It is beaten and abused, even if it is seriously injured, it is worth it, and it is worthwhile to take this trip on the martial arts road.
As soon as this idea was born, the eyes of the disciples looking at Yan Wushi changed from fear and dissatisfaction just now to awe and yearning.
Yue Kunchi was clutching his arms and sighing that Junior Sister did have the demeanor of the head, and then he heard someone whispering: "I have been admiring secretly for more than ten or twenty years, but never dared to express it. What is this feeling? Please enlighten me."
This sound was like a heart arrow, shooting directly into the secret place buried deep in his heart, Yue Kunchi was horrified, and his face changed greatly.
Looking at Yan Wushi's expression, he immediately seemed to have seen a ghost.
Before Yue Kunchi could speak, Shen Qiao pulled Yan Wushi away from the side.
Yan Wushi didn't resist, and let Shen Qiao pull him aside with a smile on his face.
Shen Qiao supported his forehead: "Sect Master Yan, are you busy?"
Yan Wushi wondered: "How can you be idle? I have to play with you every day, and I have to give pointers to the gang of useless firewood. I am very busy."
Shen Qiao twitched the corners of his mouth, and was speechless for a long while before he recovered his voice: "You should have helped the new master in Chang'an, and followed me all the way to Bixia Sect, I'm afraid it's not for traveling the mountains and water, making fun of others, etc. It's boring and trivial, so far, is Sect Master Yan still unwilling to tell me what you're here for?"
Yan Wushi: "If you change your name, this seat will consider telling you how?"
Shen Qiao was inexplicable: "What's your name?"
Yan Wushi: "How is Yan Lang?"
"..." Shen Qiao said in his heart that he was really making fun of me, he didn't say a word, turned around and left.
