Chapter 23

Shen Qiao always felt that he had slept for a long time, but he was not completely unconscious in the drowsiness, at least he had some awareness when someone was talking loudly in his ear, or when the wheel was rolling forward under him.

Although the person is in a coma, the infuriating energy in the body has not stopped running for a day. The benefits of practicing "Zhu Yang Ce" are reflected at this time, and the damage to his body is repaired little by little.

Although the speed was extremely slow, when Shen Qiao woke up, the feeling of boredom and nausea was gone. It was just that he had been in a drowsiness for the past few days. After waking up, he would inevitably be in a trance.

Looking around, he found that he should be in the carriage, but the carriage stopped, and he didn't know where it was outside.

Shen Qiao thought about it carefully and found that he was fighting with Yan Wushi before he fell unconscious, so he should have been taken away by Yan Wushi?

While thinking hard, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing Yan Wushi's face.

"you're awake?"

Just this sound made Shen Qiao's whole body stand up.

He and Yan Wushi couldn't talk about deep friendship, but he still had some understanding of each other's temperament and behavior. He was ghosted.

When everyone hears it changes color, behaves erratically, and likes to sneer at the devil, when will he speak in such a gentle tone?

Shen Qiao hesitated: "Sect Master Yan... what happened?"

Yan Wushi: "Your injury is not serious, and you have been in a coma for many days. Fortunately, Zhu Yangce's true qi in your body is working, protecting your heart, and you should be able to recover after a while. We have just entered Yingzhou now. , I found an inn to stay, come."

He stepped forward, bent over, and hugged Shen Qiao horizontally.

Shen Qiao was horrified, wishing he could turn around and run immediately, but he just woke up from a drowsiness for many days.

With a gentle smile on his face, Yan Wushi ignored Shen Qiao's ghost-like expression, carried people into the inn, and let the crowd watch him all the way, from the front hall to the backyard, even the inn clerk who led the way in front also looked back frequently. But it doesn't matter, it's still the same.

"It's good to teach the two gentlemen to know, not to mention our inn, that is, looking at the entire Yingzhou city, this small courtyard is the most beautiful, let's see, the bonsai flowing water, compared to the courtyard of the big family, it is not Where are you going? If you want to enjoy the spring scenery, you don't have to go to the suburbs to climb high, you can see all the spring scenery in our Yingzhou city just in this yard!"

The man had a lotus flower on his tongue, but Shen Qiao couldn't see it, and he couldn't understand the beauty he described, but from the man's attitude, he guessed that the rent for this courtyard was quite expensive.

Yan Wushi was very interested. Not only did he not tell the guy to shut up, he allowed him to introduce it from beginning to end, and occasionally commented on a sentence or two, which made the guy more energetic and introduced it from beginning to end.

He was still holding an adult man in his arms, but he was still in the mood to stroll in the courtyard, and he didn't feel tired.

Shen Qiao's body was in desperate need of rest. After sleeping for such a long time, he just woke up for a while, but he felt a little tired again, and almost didn't fall asleep in Yan Wushi's arms.

After finally waiting until the guy finally realized the interest and left, Yan Wushi carried Shen Qiao into the bedroom and put him on the bamboo couch by the window.

The bamboo couch was covered with a thick and soft wool mattress. When he lay down, Shen Qiao could only feel comfortable moans and groans from all the bones in his body.

Yan Wushi did not rush to leave, but sat down beside him.

Shen Qiao: "Sect Master Yan has only one wing room in the yard rented this time?"

Yan Wushi took time to relax: "Of course, more than that, but the yard is rented by me, and I can sit wherever I like. You sleep for a few days, and I take care of you all the way. You don't thank me, but instead, he is concerned about this. Is it the upbringing of Headmaster Xuandu Mountain?"

Shen Qiao thought that it was because your behavior was too abnormal.

Just thinking of this, the other party suddenly stretched out a hand and tidied up his wrinkled collar. Shen Qiao was startled, not only surprised, but also horrified.

He never thought that when he woke up from sleep, Yan Wushi's temperament changed greatly.

But he didn't understand what the other party was planning.

"I also ask Sect Master Yan to stop making fun of me."

Yan Wushi: "How can this be called a trick? Don't talk about the outside world, do you know how many disciples in the Huanyue Sect want me to be so kind to them. It's rare that I want to be nice to a person, but the other party can't even ask for it!"

Shen Qiao twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Or did Shen accidentally offend Sect Master Yan while he was in a drowsiness without knowing it? If so, Shen Mou hereby apologizes to Sect Master Yan, and also asks Sect Master Yan to take a lot, and don't bother with a blind man."

Yan Wushi suddenly laughed: "Shen Qiao, Shen Qiao, others say that you are honest and kind, but I don't think so. Is there any honest person who will use the fact that he is blind all day long to block other people's mouths?"

Shen Qiao pursed her lips and said nothing.

Yan Wushi cut his veins with three fingers of his right hand, and the latter trembled slightly.

"You still can't see?"

Shen Qiao nodded: "Maybe he used up his true energy before he fell into a coma, and now he feels a little hot around his eyes, so it will take some more time."

Yan Wushi: "Don't worry, there is still a long way to go to Beizhou from here. We will also take a carriage along the way. You can rest slowly."

Shen Qiao frowned: "Go to Beizhou?"

Yan Wushi: "Why, you don't want to go?"

What he said was purely a question.

There is no similarity in their sect, past, temperament, and even how they behave. Even with Yan Wushi's extreme arrogance, it is impossible to imagine that Shen Qiao has fallen into this situation. As it is now, when Shen Qiao is being led around the market, there will always be people who will recognize him as the former headmaster of Xuandu Mountain, which will inevitably attract a lot of gossip.

There will always be someone reminding Shen Qiao over and over again that he didn't want to be reminded of the experience that Shen Qiao didn't want to be reminded of. The dignified Taoist head teacher in the world lost his martial arts status and was betrayed by his junior and junior brothers. Everything he took care to maintain was not recognized. Everyone felt that his The practice is wrong, and the concept from childhood to adulthood is subverted.

What's even more tragic is that his eyes can't see now. There is no difference between night and day for him. In an unfamiliar environment, he will trip over a few steps, not to mention getting up in the morning to wash and dress. of little things.

Compared with only listening to the sound and identifying the position when responding to the enemy, these trivial details can make people feel the deep sense of frustration.

This kind of loser's psychology is difficult for Yan Wushi to understand, and he has no interest in understanding it. What interests him is Shen Qiao.

Even people in the Jianghu who have lost all their martial arts skills have gone from easily taking people's lives to becoming weak people who are controlled by others everywhere. Not to mention hysteria at this time, at least they are full of panic, anxiety and depression.

What kind of hard bone does this soft-looking person have inside to keep calm?

Shen Qiao nodded: "On this journey, I'm afraid that I will have to implicate Sect Master Yan's itinerary again. I'm really sorry."

Yan Wushi thought that he didn't want to go to Beizhou and would refuse or raise objections. Who knew that the other party's attitude was so docile, but it was unexpected. He pretended to say: "You can also choose to go back to Xuandu Mountain and settle in Xuandu Town. If you look for another opportunity to meet other senior brothers or elders, maybe their thoughts are different from Yu Ai, and they will support you to regain your position as head teacher."

Although he knew that Yan Wushi's words might be fanning the flames and inciting people's hearts, Shen Qiao still shook his head and answered his question: "My martial arts are not good now, and because I was defeated by Kunxie, even if I go back, I have no face. He is in charge of Xuandu Mountain, and since Yu Ai became the head teacher of the previous generation, he must have mastered the mouthpiece of the sect, and if I am in it, I will be held hostage by him, it is better to stay far away, and maybe I can understand some things."

Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "Didn't Sect Master Yan once said that I am not popular and don't know people's hearts, so Fang Zhi will end today, Sect Master Yan holds an important position in Bei Zhou, if you can follow Sect Master Yan, you will definitely be able to learn A lot of things, but also to prevent me from making mistakes and repeating the old mistakes, which is my luck."

Yan Wushi raised his eyebrows: "You don't care about Yu Ai's cooperation with the Huns?"

Shen Qiao shook his head: "There is something very strange in this matter, and Sect Master Yan must have seen it. After Hulu was defeated, there has been no news for 20 years. Kunxie was ordered by Hulu to re-enter the arena. It must not only be In order to make a battle with me so simple, he must have a deeper plan to cooperate with Yu Ai. I heard that Sect Master Yan had dealt with Kun Xie, do you think this person is brave?"

Yan Wushi didn't hide it: "His aptitude is actually not low, given time, it might be another fox and deer. When he fought against me, although he did his best, he might not be able to beat me, but he obviously kept his hand. , I don't know why he didn't do his best, provoked him a few times, and it was the same every time, and he was so disturbed that he fled back to the Xiongnu."

The implication is that if he is really reckless and unplanned, even if he knows he can't beat Yan Wushi, he will not be able to endure for so long, and he will not do his best every time.

Shen Qiao frowned slightly in thought.

A lot of things are connected, and there are faint eyebrows, but the eyebrows don't look very clear now, just like a huge thread, a chaos, he has not been able to catch the thread so far, so there are still many puzzles.

He sighed: "It seems that as Sect Master Yan said, I know very little about the situation in the world. I am sitting on the ground and watching the sky, resting on my laurels, and I am also responsible for things like melancholy, so I can't guess their intentions at all now."

Yan Wushi laughed: "How come there are so many emotions! One power down ten times, as long as you are strong enough, it is nothing to kill them all. If these people dare to betray you, they must be mentally prepared to be liquidated. Could it be that you understand his intentions and forgive him?"

Shen Qiao was very helpless to his "kill if you don't like it" style: "As you say, Yu Ai can control Xuandu Mountain, my senior brothers, and the elders of Xuandu Zifu all acquiesced. Yes, my good old senior brother also thinks that Junior Brother Yu is a hundred times better than me when he is the headmaster. Could it be that I am going to be slaughtered? These people are the mainstays of Xuandu Mountain. Without them, where would they be? Can it still be called a sect?"

Yan Wushi said viciously: "Even if you recover your martial arts in the future and go back to your position as headmaster, your friendship with your fellow apprentices will never go back to the past. The thing they betrayed you will be like a fishbone stuck in your throat. It's hard for you to let go. For them, even if you don't care about the past, will they believe that you really don't mind?"

When he said this, he approached Shen Qiao, and the warm breath was close at hand.

Shen Qiao tilted his head uncomfortably: "Everyone has evil thoughts in their hearts, the difference is only to do or not to do it, why should you be harsh?"

Yan Wushi said, "Oh? So you also have evil thoughts in your heart? What are your evil thoughts, tell me to listen to it?"

Shen Qiao wanted to step back, but was intercepted by an arm, so he had to arch his waist slightly.

I don't know when he was forced to the corner of the wall, the back of his upper body was against the wall, and there was a picture hanging behind it. The scroll was just below his shoulder, and it was painful.

"A Qiao, what are your evil thoughts, let's hear it."

The cry of Ah Qiao made Shen Qiao's skin get goosebumps, but he didn't have time to show a shocked expression, and then he was lured into a trance by the other party's deep voice, and he opened his mouth to answer.

"I……"

Knock knock knock!

There was a knock on the door outside.

Shen Qiao was slightly shocked and suddenly woke up.

"You used charm on me?!"

"This is called the magic sound to capture the heart. The Huanyue Sect is also one of the three sun and moon sects. The Hehuan Sect will, and I will naturally. The little girl Bai Rong has not been able to practice at home. If you listen to it a few more times, you won't be able to do it in the future. It's easy to fall for her tricks."

Sect Master Yan was not ashamed when it was revealed in one sentence, but instead a proud tone of "it is your honor to be able to get this seat".

Shen Qiao is a modest gentleman, how can he say such a crooked reasoning, and he is very happy when he hears it: "So I have to thank Sect Master Yan?"

Yan Wushi: "Well, thank you."
