"Haha, Junior Brother Zhang!"

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaofan was slapped heavily on the shoulder.

At this time, Zhang Xiaofan focused all his attention on Tian Linger, who was walking away, and he didn't notice the situation around him at all. I know Zeng Shushu.

Seeing Zeng Shushu smiling and relaxed, he looked up and down Zhang Xiaofan, then his eyes moved to the monkey Xiaohui beside him.

Seeing this extremely annoying guy running over again, Xiao Hui looked unwilling, bared his teeth and made a grimace, turned around and jumped on Da Huang's back, patted Da Huang's dog's head, Da Huang glared at Zhang Xiaofan and Zeng Shushu and barked Twice, and ran away.

Zhang Xiaofan frowned, and shouted: "Xiao Hui, come back, don't run around."

Zeng Shushu smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the three-eyed monkey is very smart, it won't get lost."

Zhang Xiaofan shrugged his shoulders, turned his head, was about to talk to Zeng Shushu, suddenly his heart moved, he looked in the blink of an eye and saw that Da Huang was running towards the kitchen with Xiao Hui on his back, his heart skipped a beat, he lost his voice and said: "Ah! Dead monkey, you go again..."

Zeng Shushu wondered: "What?"

Zhang Xiaofan gave a dry cough, and said with a dry smile: "No, nothing. By the way, Senior Brother Zeng, aren't you going to participate in the competition? Why are you free to come and find me?"

Zeng Shushu smiled and said, "Oh, I'm done with the competition, I have nothing to do, I saw you here, so I came over to say hello."

Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback, said: "What, you've finished the competition, what's the result?"

Zeng Shushu closed the fan in his hand, rubbed the black hair on his head, and said, "Uh, I won a game by accident, hehe."

Zhang Xiaofan looked at his casual look, he didn't seem to have experienced a big fight at all, and asked cautiously: "Brother Zeng, is it possible that your cultivation is very high?"

Zeng Shushu immediately waved his hand and said, "Oh! Junior Brother Zhang, what are you talking about? How can my meager practice be enough for the show? If it weren't for my father always forcing me to practice, I wouldn't be bothered to cultivate the truth and cultivate the Tao every day. Feeding the birds and reading books, what kind of happy life! But having said that," he put his hand on Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder, led him forward, and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect that in the Qimai Martial Arts Competition , there are actually people worse than me."

Zhang Xiaofan gave a wry smile, and said, "It's much worse than you!"

Zeng Shushu shrugged his shoulders, and said nonchalantly: "So what, no matter how greedy I am, I don't dare to dream of winning to the end, but I am very interested in your three-eyed monkey. it… "

Seeing his face as a profiteer, Zhang Xiaofan immediately said: "Senior Brother Zeng, don't try to trick me, Xiao Hui!"

Zeng Shushu suffocated, rolled his eyes, and said, "Then I'll exchange things with you, you don't know, I have raised a lot of interesting and strange things on Fenghui Peak, such as three-legged rabbits, black and white peacocks, shellless turtles, etc. There are winged snakes…”

Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but said: "There are really so many strange things?"

Zeng Shu was very pleased with his writing, and said: "Needless to say, I have spent a lot of effort in collecting these treasures, and I have also been beaten and scolded by my father, but I still like you, the three-eyed spirit monkey, why not?" So, what do you like and I can exchange it for you?"

Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and said: "No, I raise Xiao Hui just to see that it is destined to be with me, besides you gave me those black and white rabbits, shellless peacocks and so on..."

Zeng Shushu immediately corrected: "It's a three-legged rabbit, a black and white peacock, and the one without the shell is a tortoise!"

Zhang Xiaofan stuck out his tongue, said: "Oh, yes, yes, but I'm not interested in those, so I won't change it."

Zeng Shushu rolled his eyes again, pulled Zhang Xiaofan to a remote place, looked around for a while, with a strange expression on his face, whispered: "Junior Brother Zhang, let me show you something good, do you like it or not?" He took out a thick book with a blue cover and handed it to Zhang Xiaofan.

Zhang Xiaofan took a look, but saw that there was not even a name on the book, and the cover was old, it seemed that it was quite old.

Looking at Zeng Shushu's appearance, he seems to be doing nothing on the surface, but a pair of smart eyes are constantly looking around, looking very vigilant. His originally handsome face now looks a little weird and even wretched. It seems that this book is not a record. The peerless Dharma Jue is a rare book.

Zhang Xiaofan shook his head, said: "Senior Brother Zeng, I can't bear such a precious book, and my aptitude is too poor, it's useless to take it, and I don't want to exchange it with Xiaohui, you just put it away!"

Zeng Shushu glared at him, and said in a low voice, "If you don't read it, just say so, read it first, hurry up."

Seeing his strange appearance, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help being a bit curious about this book, he opened it and was stunned for a moment, his face flushed instantly, it turned out that in this thick book, besides a lot of words, there are also many pictures, paintings But all of them are naked men and women hugging and lingering. It is actually a book of pornography.

Zhang Xiaofan saw this kind of thing for the first time in his life, but the painting style in this book is delicate and the characters are vividly portrayed, his heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but say: "Brother Zeng, you, you, how could you have such a thing..."

"Hush!" Zeng Shushu was startled, quickly grabbed the book and put it into his pocket, then carefully looked at the fellow disciples walking around, glared at Zhang Xiaofan, and said: "Don't be so loud."

Zhang Xiaofan came to his senses, but still in shock, he whispered: "Senior brother Zeng, how could you, uh, read this kind of book?"

Zeng Shushu pursed his lips, and said, "So what if you read it, let me tell you, this is a strange book, it is said to be a rare book! I don't know how much effort it took to get it, I guarantee that after you read it, you will be proud of the flowers from now on." , to win the favor of women in the world. How about, use it to exchange for your little gray... "

Zhang Xiaofan immediately shook his head and said: "No."

Zeng Shushu said angrily: "This is not okay, and that is not okay, but you tell me, what do you want?"

Zhang Xiaofan said honestly: "I don't want anything."

Zeng Shushu was helpless, he spat: "Why are you like a log?"

Zhang Xiaofan chuckled, and didn't care, but his eyes drifted to the distance involuntarily, that beautiful figure loomed among the faint white clouds.

Zeng Shushu gave up, put the book away, opened the fan again with a swipe, fanned twice, and suddenly heard the chiming of bells and cauldrons in the distance, it seemed that another competition had begun.

Zeng Shushu glanced there, smiled suddenly, gave Zhang Xiaofan a hand, and said, "Go, I'll take you to see the most popular person in Qingyun Sect in this big test."

Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback, and asked in surprise: "Who is it?" After a pause, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he said: "Is it Senior Brother Qi Hao from Longshou Peak?"

Zeng Shushu let out a "huh" and looked at Zhang Xiaofan in amazement, but he still shook his head and said, "Brother Qi's practice is naturally very famous, but haven't you heard of it? one person."

Zhang Xiaofan thought for a while, but still said: "Who is it?"

Zeng Shushu seemed to have forgotten the quarrel just now, with a smile all over his face, and said mysteriously: "You will know if you come with me!"

As he said, he pulled Zhang Xiaofan and walked forward, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help himself, and couldn't help being curious about this so-called mysterious person, so he followed.

Zeng Shushu led Zhang Xiaofan straight to the biggest "dry" arena among the eight arenas, Zhang Xiaofan followed behind him, looking around, he saw that under that arena, Qing Yun sect disciples were crowded with crowds, it was impossible to see. There are at least four or five hundred people like this.

Zhang Xiaofan did some calculations in his mind, estimated that at least half of the Qingyunmen on the square gathered under this stage, especially the younger generation of male disciples.

As the two approached, they could hear the commotion getting louder, and the surroundings were filled with the cheerful discussions of Qing Yun's disciples.

"Xiaozhufeng has always been rich in beauties, I heard that this time Lu Xueqi is even hailed as the most outstanding beauties in five hundred years!"

"That's up to you. I saw her that day in the Palace of Jade Purity, and she was truly stunning... Oops! Who hit me on the head... Eh, uncle?"

An old man with a white beard was beside him and said angrily: "Little bastard, you are a cultivator, so you should be as calm as water. Why are you still so greedy for beauty? If you are allowed to go on stage, you have to just look at that face, and do not do anything." Lose first!"

"… yes."

"Hmph, that's why I've already told the chief senior brother that we shouldn't accept female disciples in Qingyun Sect, because beauty is a disaster."

"Cough cough, Master Uncle, you are indeed, er, wise, intelligent, and wise, but is your voice too loud?"

"What's the matter, did I say something wrong?" The old man with white beard blew his beard and stared, his voice turned a little higher.

"No, no," those young disciples quickly surrounded him, and whispered after smiling, "Uncle, Master Shuiyue is sitting inside."

"..." Lowering his voice, the old man said, "Hmph, if it wasn't for the same face, I would have..."

All the disciples agreed in unison, and they all said that the old man had a high level of cultivation and a broad mind, and he did not care about the villain and the younger generation.

Zeng Shushu and Zhang Xiaofan looked at each other, Zeng Shushu shrugged his shoulders, Zhang Xiaofan whispered to him: "Is that person you are talking about a senior sister of Xiaozhufeng?"

Zeng Shushu nodded, glanced at the stage, and said, "It hasn't started yet, and you will know her reputation later. But, alas! There are too many people here."

While talking, the two turned around, but they were still circling around the periphery of the crowd. The inside was already crowded by layers of Qingyun disciples, and even a needle couldn't get in.

Zhang Xiaofan became more and more curious, it seemed that this mysterious figure was really popular, so many Qingyun disciples were attracted to him.

Zeng Shushu's face was full of anxiety, and he kept saying, "Oh no, there is no good seat. If I knew it, I should have come here last night to line up."

Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback, before he could say anything, suddenly Zeng Shushu's eyes lit up, seeing dozens of Fenghui Peak disciples standing in front of him, he pulled Zhang Xiaofan and rushed over without saying a word.

The disciples of Fenghui Peak saw that it was Zeng Shushu, and they all smiled, and one of the tall men said with a smile: "Hehe, it's too late!"

Zeng Shushu ignored him, pulled Zhang Xiaofan and squeezed in, Fenghuifeng disciples obviously treated Zeng Shushu very well, they all stepped aside, even squeezed in with Zhang Xiaofan.

It didn't take long for the two of them to get into the inner circle, and there was really a good view here, and there were seven or eight people sitting at the place closest to the ring, the real Daoxuan, the head of the Qingyun sect, the Taoist Cangsong, the head of Longshou Peak, and the head of Xiaozhu Peak. Master Shuiyue was present here, and most of the others were well-known elders from various branches.

And behind them, Qingyun's disciples stood densely, the most eye-catching ones were all the beautiful disciples from Xiaozhufeng standing behind Master Shuiyue, Wen Min who Zhang Xiaofan knew was also among them.

But the one closest to Master Shuiyue was the beautiful woman in blue when the lottery was drawn in Yuqing Palace yesterday. At this moment, she is still as cold as ice and extremely beautiful, attracting countless eyes.

"See, it's her." Zeng Shushu poked Zhang Xiaofan with his arm, motioning him to look at the woman in blue. Zhang Xiaofan looked at the woman a few more times, and said in a low voice, "Is she the hot one you mentioned?"

Zeng Shushu looked intoxicated, and said: "It may not be popular, I heard that Lu Xueqi has not been a beginner for a long time, and her cultivation level is unpredictable, but everyone said that if it comes to beauty, she must be her!"

Zhang Xiaofan frowned, said: "Senior Brother Zeng, you look very obscene when drooling!"

Zeng Shushu said: "...cough cough, do I have it? Hehe, you must have read it wrong. By the way, take a look at our fellow disciples around you?"

Zhang Xiaofan looked around, and saw that among the younger generation of Qingyun disciples around, most of them focused their eyes on the beauties in Xiaozhufeng, especially the woman in blue, Lu Xueqi, was even more eye-catching.

However, it seemed that those beauties had long been used to this, each with a calm demeanor, and Lu Xueqi was even more expressionless, as cold as ice, as if she turned a blind eye to the male disciples from the same sect behind her.

Zeng Shushu swallowed his saliva, and said to Zhang Xiaofan in a low voice: "Speaking of it, it's no wonder, our Qingyun Sect has suddenly recruited young disciples aggressively over the years, look around, there are at least three or four hundred people at our age, hehe , our cultivation base is not deep, so we are naturally easy to be tempted."

Zhang Xiaofan glanced at him sideways, and saw that Zeng Shushu's originally handsome face seemed to have changed. Thinking of the book just now, he felt as if the word "color" was written on Zeng Shushu's forehead.

Zeng Shushu turned around and said in surprise: "Junior Brother Zhang, why don't you just look at them and always look at me! I fell in love with you, and I brought you here as a friend. By the way, which one of them do you think has a good figure? most?"

Zhang Xiaofan immediately turned his head away, and added the word "wolf" after his comment on Zeng Shushu in his mind.

At this time, the original noisy place suddenly quieted down. Under everyone's attention, Lu Xueqi took a step forward and bowed to Master Shuiyue who was sitting on the chair. Master Shuiyue nodded lightly and said, "Go!"

Lu Xueqi responded, she straightened her clothes, gently held the formula with her right hand, and looked at the stage with her bright and beautiful eyes.

At this moment, the faint cloud that was originally on the white jade slab under her feet suddenly spun and gathered towards her from all directions. Soon, a white cloud formed under Lu Xueqi's feet. Immediately afterwards, Lu Xueqi was like a fairy, and the whole person was standing here. In the misty white clouds, they rose slowly, floated into the air, and moved to the stage.

When the mountain wind blows, the pure white cloud flutters like the softest and most beautiful silk. Lu Xueqi's clothes are fluttering, her complexion is like snow, she is so glamorous, she is like a nine-day fairy falling into the mortal world. A little in awe.

After a while, there was thunderous applause from the audience, the roar of mountains and tsunami, the sound waves were so loud that Zhang Xiaofan was caught off guard, his ears immediately buzzed, he was shocked, he didn't expect Lu Xueqi to be so popular, but after all, he looked into the air The beautiful figure in the middle is still fascinated and unable to control himself. It is really hard to imagine that there is such a beautiful person in the world.

Master Shuiyue, who was sitting in the audience, had a smile on his always indifferent face at this moment.

After a while, a young disciple walked onto the ring from nowhere (because no one was paying attention) with a square face and thick eyebrows, and his appearance was correct, but he looked a little excited.

Once on the stage, he said to Lu Xueqi: "Junior sister Lu, I am Fang Chao, a disciple of Longshou Peak sect. Today I have the honor to compete with my junior sister. It is a great fortune!"

"Shhhhhhhhhh!"

Lu Xueqi remained expressionless, and said coldly in mid-air: "Brother Fang is polite, Lu Xueqi, the eighth generation disciple of Xiaozhufeng, asked Brother Fang for advice today."

Standing under the stage, Zhang Xiaofan looked at Lu Xueqi standing still in the air like a fairy, suddenly felt a pain in his heart for no reason, just now, didn't Senior Sister Linger stand in the air with such extraordinary grace

Looking in a daze, Lu Xueqi's figure seemed to overlap with Tian Linger's.

At this moment, Fang Chao on the stage is still talking endlessly, judging by his appearance, if he can keep talking like this, don't compete, it doesn't matter until the end of time.

But luckily his opponents in this world accounted for the majority, before he could say a few more words, countless people including Zeng Shushu who was standing beside Zhang Xiaofan shouted angrily: "Have you not started yet?"

"goat!"

"Chirping, like a woman!... Hey, this senior sister of Xiaozhufeng, ah! What are you doing, don't, I have absolutely no other intentions..."

"when!"

At the end of the decisive battle, the sound of the bell finally rang, Lu Xueqi's face turned cold, and she looked straight at Fang Chao.

Seeing her cold eyes, Fang Chao suddenly felt chills all over his body. Although from this point of view, even Lu Xueqi's cold face was still unparalleled, but no matter what, he didn't dare to joke anymore, so he quickly put away his smile and straightened Thinking, with the right hand formula, a silver-white fairy sword was sacrificed.

Zhang Xiaofan frowned, and couldn't help thinking of Qihao's fairy sword "Ice", at this moment he heard Zeng Shushu snorted suddenly, and said in a low voice: "The people of Longshou Peak have Qi Hao as a role model, so everyone Everyone likes to practice this kind of fairy sword."

Zhang Xiaofan's eyes flickered, he looked around, saw people's heads shaking, but no matter what he couldn't find Qi Hao's shadow, let alone the figure he wanted to see most in his heart, but at this moment he least wanted to see.

where did they go Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head, feeling a pang of sorrow in his heart.

Suddenly, Zeng Shushu pulled his arm and said happily: "Xiaofan, look, it's started."

Zhang Xiaofan raised his eyes to look at the stage, and saw that Fang Chao had already sacrificed the fairy sword, and the stage was suddenly chilled, but in Zhang Xiaofan's eyes, he intuitively found that compared to Qi Hao, who was not easy to fight in Hetian back then, Fang Chao was driving There is obviously still a gap in the ice fairy art.

On the other hand, Lu Xueqi remained expressionless on top of the floating clouds, watching Fang Chao's luck freeze in front of her, as if she had no intention of attacking at all.

Behind her was a fairy sword with a sky-blue scabbard. Although this fairy sword could not be integrated with its master like most of the fairy swords practiced by most people, from Fang Chao on the stage to all the members of the Qingyunmen, No one dares to underestimate it.

On the way of self-cultivation, psychic magic weapons can often be integrated with the master after a long period of practice, and it is only sacrificed when it is used, which is very convenient.

However, some strange magic weapons cannot do this because their own spirituality is too strong and the human body cannot bear it, so they can only be carried by the owner.

But this kind of magic weapon is often the most precious treasure of the celestial family, with great power, the deeper the master's cultivation, the more astonishing the power it exerts. The most precious treasure of Qingyunmen's town gate—the ancient sword "Zhu Xian" belongs to this category.

At this moment above the arena, a thin layer of ice has formed on the surface of the three zhang area around Fang Chao, Zhang Xiaofan, Zeng Shushu and other disciples who are close to the stage feel a cold air rushing towards their faces.

But Lu Xueqi, who was still standing in mid-air, seemed indifferent to this, and just looked at Fang Chao coldly.

Fang Chao sang a one-man show under the eyes of everyone, the fairy sword was flying, and hundreds of eyes from the corner of his eyes were watching from the audience, but Lu Xueqi's gaze seemed to be colder than the cold air emitted by his own fairy sword, and it hit his heart , There is almost a feeling of having nowhere to put it.

Fang Chao was a little impatient in his heart, and pointed at the sword art with his right hand, the silver-white fairy sword shot at Lu Xueqi from bottom to top, and shouted: "Junior Sister Lu, be careful!"

There was a burst of laughter among the crowd in the audience. Looking at Fang Chao's appearance, it seemed that he was afraid of hurting Lu Xueqi. Taoist Cangsong sitting under the audience had a rather ugly expression and snorted heavily.

There was disdain in this snort, and it fell into the ear of the person next to him, who reacted immediately: "Why, Senior Brother Cangsong seems to be a little dissatisfied?"

Taoist Cangsong didn't turn his head, and said calmly: "Junior Sister Shuiyue, all of your disciples are really beautiful!"

Master Shuiyue's complexion changed. During this martial arts competition, Taoist Cangsong did not praise her disciples for their cultivation but instead praised all the women for their beauty, which was obviously meant to be sarcastic.

What kind of person Master Shuiyue is, raised his eyebrows, and immediately said: "I didn't know that there are so many prodigal sons and lustful people under the cultivation sect of Qingyun Sect."

Taoist Cangsong was furious, and was about to refute, when Daoxuan Daoxuan who was sitting among them raised his hand and smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I'm hundreds of years old, and I don't worry about losing face when I quarrel in front of so many disciples. Let's see the competition , watch the competition."

The two chiefs snorted heavily and turned their heads away.

※※※

At this moment, Fang Chao's silver-white fairy sword has shot towards the cloud under Lu Xueqi's feet. Lu Xueqi's indifferent face showed no expression, and she didn't see any movement. But it was faster, and he had caught up in the blink of an eye, and screams and sighs were heard from the audience.

Seeing that at this critical moment, Lu Xueqi turned her backhand and took the sword behind her into her hand, her face was as frosty as frost, but she didn't draw the sword out of its sheath, she just used the sky blue sword to block in front of her.

"Zheng!"

The crisp echo echoed far above the square, very pleasant to the ear.

Fang Chao's silver-white fairy sword bounced back as if he had been hit hard, and Taoist Cangsong above the stage surpassed the one below the stage, his expression changed drastically.

In the astonished eyes of everyone, Lu Xueqi did not hesitate at all, after a slight blush flashed across her snow-white face, she threw the sky-blue sword with its sheath with a flick of her right hand. Holding the magic formula tightly, the blue fairy sword suddenly radiated light in mid-air that day, and the blue light covered the entire huge arena.

Fang Chao didn't dare to be negligent, he was surprised to see the dazzling blue light coming over the sky, and at the same time he was even more angry that Lu Xueqi didn't even draw the fairy sword out of its sheath, and that he was so contemptuous of him.

But he was still urging the fairy sword in his hand, and in a blink of an eye, three ice walls were condensed in front of him, emitting a trace of cold air.

In mid-air, Lu Xueqi's bright eyes were as bright as stars, her black hair and skirt fluttered in the strong wind, her grace was peerless and soul-stirring.

She seemed to be chanting a mantra in a low voice, and there was no expression on her cold face. Following her gaze, everyone could only see a loud bang on the fairy sword flying in mid-air emitting a blue light, like a beast. Roaring wildly, the sound shook the whole field, and in an instant, the blue light exploded, the fairy sword burst out like a sky, the dragon came out of the abyss, and all the clouds within a radius of tens of feet were forced to dissipate in an instant, without a trace .

Among the thousands of blue lights, in the deepest place where the blue sky is as blue as the sky, the fairy sword flew towards Fang Chao as if flying from the sky, and rushed towards Fang Chao with such force that it was indistinguishable for a moment.

Fang Chao's face was serious, with sweat running down his forehead, obviously shocked by the great power of Lu Xueqi's blue fairy sword. I saw that in an instant, the fairy sword had rushed to the front.

"Card, card, card!"

Amid hundreds of Qingyun's disciples stunned, the three ice walls formed by Fang Chao were like tofu, and were rushed in by the blue fairy sword as if there was nothing there, and smashed into pieces.

Fang Chao was shocked. With his strength, it is not impossible to condense more ice walls as a defense, but three ice walls are enough in his original intention. Unexpectedly, Lu Xueqi's skills are so advanced, and the blue fairy sword is even more unexpected It's amazing, and it's in front of me in a blink of an eye.

At this moment of life and death, Fang Chao managed to stabilize his mind, the silver-white fairy sword glowed, guarded in front of him, and raised a white light shield. A moment later, Lu Xueqi's blue fairy sword collided with the white light shield forcefully.

"boom!"

The loud noise rumbled like thunder from the sky, and the huge and invisible shock wave centered on these two fairy swords and quickly spread to all directions. He took a step back involuntarily, and the entire circle of onlookers expanded at the same time.

All the disciples changed their faces, shocked by the unprecedented power of the fairy family magic weapon.

After that moment of amazement passed, everyone's eyes returned to the ring, and they saw that Lu Xueqi had landed on the stage at some point, and the fairy sword with its sheath had flown back into her hand, and the blue light and white light gradually faded away. Dispersed, but everyone found that Fang Chao's face was ashen.

I saw Fang Chao raised his head slowly, pointed at Lu Xueqi, his voice became hoarse for some reason, and said hoarsely: "You..."

Everyone was amazed, not knowing what happened, but a sudden change occurred, and the silver-white fairy sword that had been standing in front of Fang Chao from just now suddenly made several muffled sounds on the sword.

After that, under the gaze of countless eyes, a crack suddenly appeared on the sword body, and then expanded rapidly. After a while, the fairy sword made a painful sound, broke into two pieces with a "boom", and fell to the stage.

On and off the stage, there was silence, and everyone held their breath.

No one above this sea of clouds knows what the fairy sword that has been cultivated for a long time means to a cultivator.

"Wow—" On the stage, Fang Chao spat out a mouthful of blood, put his hands on his chest, his face showed pain, and couldn't hold on any longer, fell to the ground and passed out.
