Chapter 27

The distance from Yingzhou to Chang'an is not short, it is almost equivalent to crossing the distance of half the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but with Yan Wushi's light work, it is not impossible to arrive within two days, so received Yan Wushi from time to time. After the letter, the eldest disciple Bian Yanmei quickly ordered someone to take care of Shizun's mansion in the capital, so that Yan Wushi could live in immediately when he arrived in Beijing.

Yan Wushi had no real position in the imperial court, only because of Zhou Emperor's reliance, so he hung up the title of the prince's junior teacher. Although this position is "in charge of the crown prince", the crown prince Yu Wenyun has his own knowledgeable courtiers and Eastern Palace officials. As for the need for labor, Yan Wushi.

In order to show his importance, Emperor Zhou also specially gave the mansion so that Yan Wushi could live in Beijing.

The Huanyue Sect is not short of money. Yan Wushi has his own mansion in Chang'an, but the young master's mansion does not go there often. Although the servants and servants are well furnished, it is inevitable that they have no master for a long time. This time, Yan Wushi indicated that he would return to the young master. The mansion lived, and Bianbianmei hurriedly rearranged it.

Who would have thought that after waiting for several days, I didn't wait for the figure of the master. Bian Mei was a little strange, but with Yan Wushi's ability, he didn't need to worry too much. Maybe the other party was just delayed by something on the road, but this week Zhou The emperor frequently summoned Bianyanmei to the palace, and repeatedly asked Yan Wushi's whereabouts, hoping to see people soon. Bianyanmei only sent people to wait in the post house along the way a few times, so as to know when the master can enter the capital. .

It was only today, on the third day of the third month of March, when the women came out of the city and went out to the outskirts for an outing, he just received the news that the post house in Luozhou was one step ahead, saying that Yan Wushi expected to arrive in two days.

When the master arrives, the disciples will naturally go out to greet them. Bianbian Mite moved the affairs of the past few days aside and went out to the city to wait in person. But unfortunately, because of the daughter's day, there are a lot of people today, not only the common people's Xiaojiabiyu When they came out for an outing, those ladies from big families and even dignitaries also rode out of the city in horse carriages, and the servants were like clouds, and the business and travel exchanges were almost comparable to the scene of the Lantern Festival in Shangyuan.

In this case, Bianbianmei is useless even if his martial arts are high, unless he wants to run over directly on the head and the top of the carriage, but this will bring a lot of trouble, and it may not be fast. Many, so he simply abandoned the carriage and walked.

His attendant Ji Ying has followed him for many years. When Bianyanmei was in the capital, he basically took care of her daily life. She was loyal and good in martial arts.

The two avoided the crowd and took a long walk in the alley. They were still blocked by carriages at the city gate for a while before they were able to leave the city.

There is a tea pavilion three miles outside the city. Due to the simple furnishings, there are not many people who go out to the green to stay here. However, if anyone enters the city, they can see it clearly. Meibian went to the tea pavilion and asked for two cups of tea, and sat down with Ji Ying. .

Ji Ying's face was still filled with apprehension: "Lang Jun, will we come a step later, Master Yan has already entered the city?"

Bianbianmei: "No, we came early, and it doesn't matter if we wait."

Seeing Ji Ying holding a teacup and not drinking tea, he couldn't help laughing and said, "It's not the first time you've seen Shizun, so why be so nervous, Shizun won't eat you!"

Ji Ying grimaced: "Last time, the villain was taught by Master Yan because of his poor work. I just hope that he won't be taught again this time!"

Bianyanmei: "Don't worry, if Shizun finds out that you are not from the Huanyue Sect, at most you will be killed, and you will not be trained."

Ji Ying was stunned: "Lang Jun, the villain can't understand your words..."

Bianbianmei smiled slightly: "You imitate Ji Ying's words and deeds. You are indeed very skilled. Even I was almost deceived. It's a pity that you have a huge loophole."

Seeing that the contents were revealed, "Ji Ying" no longer showed the kind of respectful subordinates: "Please advise."

Bianyanmei: "Ji Ying is respectful and afraid of the master, and more afraid of it. He will never take the initiative to ask me to go out of the city to meet the master. You have learned a lot from other places, but you have missed this point."

"Ji Ying" Jie Jie laughed: "As expected of Yan Wushi's eldest disciple, but I didn't intend to keep it secret!"

Bianbianmei lost her smile: "Who are you? Where is Ji Ying?"

"Ji Ying" said proudly, "With your intelligence, can't you guess who I am? If you can guess who I am, why bother asking about the whereabouts of your servants? We are all old enemies, how can we meet each other? Don't know each other?"

Bian Mei froze for a moment and changed her face: "Hehuan Sect? Are you Huo Xijing?!"

Huo Xijing's face-changing technique is notorious, and the person who was stripped of his face is naturally impossible to survive. Although Ji Ying has martial arts, he must not be able to beat Huo Xijing. The last time Shen Qiao and Chen Gong met Huo Xijing, if it wasn't They couldn't escape if they were interrupted by Bairong.

No one could tell Huo Xijing's actual age, maybe thirty or forty, maybe fifty or sixty. There are not hundreds or dozens of people who have skinned him, so no matter whether it is right or wrong, when it comes to Huo Xijing, there will be no good face.

Of course, the Hehuan Sect was known for its charms, and its reputation was not much better, but people like Huo Xijing hated and even hated them deeply, and their reputation was ruined to a certain level.

Huo Xijing laughed and said: "Brother Bian, why do you have to show such an expression? Speaking of which, we have the same origin. We haven't had the chance to meet each other in these years. I still want to talk to you, but I didn't come to you. Kill, kill, kill!"

Bianbianmei said coldly: "Ji Ying has followed me for several years, and as soon as you took action, you stripped his face and killed him. If I didn't avenge him, I wouldn't be named Bian today!"

Huo Xijing took a few steps back before he could take action: "Don't get me wrong, brother Bian, when I saw Zhong Jiying's face, I didn't know he was yours, and he didn't say until half of the face was peeled off, you see At that time, even if I stopped, his face and life would not be preserved, so it would be better for me to be cheaper. Anyway, with this face, I can always cherish your memory. Today, I was ordered by my teacher to visit the commander. There is something important to discuss.”

He didn't put Ji Ying's life in his eyes at all, he thought that he would bring out Sang Jingxing's name, and Bianbianmei would be a little bit afraid, but who would know that the other party would do it without saying a word, Bianbianmei pointed at the knife Swiping towards Huo Xijing, infuriating qi was like a substance, and the cold qi slashed down at the head.

Huo Xijing was almost on the point, retreating dozens of steps in a row before he could make a shot, but the other party was chasing after him. , The owner and the guests were so frightened that they dodged, and after a while they disappeared without a trace.

The same is the spring water fingering, Yan Wushi has a domineering domineering, Bianbianmei is inclined to be sharp, he combines the Huanyue Sect's Huanyue knife with fingering, no knife is better than a knife, the god is like the rippling of autumn water, and the force is like only one. The hands are divided into mountains, the blood is clear, the bones fill the river, in all directions, not a single omission!

Huo Xijing studied under Sang Jingxing, one of the top ten masters in the world. He himself was willing to give up his face and fawn on the master, and often found some beautiful women for the master. He was regarded as Sang Jingxing's face-to-face disciple, and he usually walked sideways. Otherwise, he would have been captured by the enemy's family and divided into five horses for his vicious deeds of skinning people all day long.

So over time, he also felt good about himself, and did not take Bianbianmei seriously, thinking that Yan Wushi, the eldest disciple, was responsible for the relationship between the Huanyue Sect and the Northern Zhou court, and he usually dealt with those court officials. There is even an official position. Zhenri is diligent in using his brain and neglecting his hands, and his martial arts may not be very good.

Who knows that underestimating the enemy's carelessness and causing misfortune to himself, although he will not be held hostage for a while, but it is not so easy to gain the upper hand.

Bianbianmei deliberately took his life, and did not show mercy because everyone was born in a magic sect, but Huo Xijing's martial arts were there. stop there.

Huo Xijing was a little tired of fighting, and was thinking about whether to fight or stay. If he continued to fight, he might be able to look at Kong and plot against Bian Mei, and then use him to threaten Yan Wushi's submission, or take him back to the sect to give it to his master. One credit, but everyone came from a demon door, and no one is an innocent and kind master. It is not easy to plot against each other. Huo Xijing couldn't find this opportunity after playing for a long time.

At this moment, a faint voice suddenly came from his ear: "If you can't take such a thing, you will be called my Yan Wushi's disciple in vain."

Huo Xijing's ears suddenly exploded with a loud noise, his chest shook violently, and he almost vomited blood.

It was this moment of distraction that allowed Bianyanmei to see the opportunity, and slapped Huo Xijing's empty door with a palm.

Unexpectedly, the body that jumped into the air paused for a while, and then fell directly to the ground!

Huo Xijing clutched his chest and panted, and watched a handsome man in green robe appear under a tree not far away.

There was another person beside him, leaning on a bamboo stick, who seemed to be in poor health.

There is no doubt that the man in green robe must be Yan Wushi.

Huo Xijing has an extraordinary obsession with beautiful faces. As soon as he sees the person next to him, he immediately recognizes that the other person is the one who wanted to take the face that day, but was ruined by Bairong.

But at this moment, he was no longer interested in that face anyway, because he didn't even know whether he could save his life today.

"Sect Master Yan is well, in the next Huo Xijing, Master Sang Jingxing ordered me to come and visit your old man." Huo Xijing reluctantly smiled as he approached the enemy.

Those who had been skinned by him would never have thought that the brutal and arrogant Huo Xijing would have such a low-pitched moment.

As the saying goes, wicked people need wicked people to grind, and now Huo Xijing can't wait to shrink himself into a ball and dig into the cracks in the ground, it is best that the other party can't see him.

"Old man? Am I the youngest?" Yan Wushi was half-smile, nonchalantly.

Huo Xijing was racking his brains trying to say something nice to let Yan Wushi let him go. When he was interrupted, his expression froze immediately, his mouth was stunned, and he couldn't hold back anything.

Bianbianmei was excited and saluted respectfully: "This disciple has seen Master, Master, how are you doing these days?"

Yan Wushi glanced at him: "You have been dealing with court officials all day long. Thinking about it, you have already neglected to practice martial arts, so that you can't even beat this kind of thing?"

Bianbianmei was ashamed: "Master taught me the truth!"

Huo Xijing, who was called "the stuff", was pale and angry, but he didn't dare to say anything.

As soon as Yan Wushi appeared, he didn't expect him to take advantage of the opponent's hands. For now, the only plan is to escape, but how to run is also a problem. Taking advantage of the conversation between the master and the apprentice, Huo Xijing's eyes Yu Guang couldn't help searching around, looking for the most favorable escape route.

He killed someone's apprentice's servant. Even if the master didn't do anything, he wouldn't stop the apprentice from taking revenge. Everyone was born in the devil's sect, and no one was much more innocent than the other. Huo Xijing knew that Bianyanmei couldn't suddenly be kind to him. , but with Yan Wushi around, it is almost impossible for him to escape.

Huo Xijing rolled his eyes and glanced at Shen Qiao who was standing behind Yan Wushi.

He thought about it, he moved as soon as he said it, and the ground burst into flames, and the whole person rushed towards Shen Qiao!

But he will soon learn that this was one of his worst decisions.

In the blink of an eye, no one reacted. Bianbianmei didn't know the relationship between Shen Qiao and his teacher. Seeing Huo Xijing's actions, she couldn't help but be stunned, but Yan Wushi didn't move, so he didn't move.

Huo Xijing's movements are not unpleasant, his figure directly turned into an afterimage, and he rushed towards Shen Qiao!

Seeing that he was about to grab the opponent's wrist, Shen Qiao suddenly slipped away from his hand like a fish.

Huo Xijing's heart thumped, and he felt that something was wrong. He didn't hesitate for a moment at all.

He didn't even dare to take a look at Yan Wushi, for fear that this look would delay his escape!

However, things once again exceeded his expectations. It was not Yan Wushi who shot, but the person he just wanted to sneak attack!

The whole body of the bamboo stick is green and smooth, and the root is slightly split because it is often stuck on the ground. Nowadays, corporal officials like to buy a bamboo stick from an old farmer who is carrying a load at the foot of the mountain. Shen Qiao is this bamboo stick. , is no different from other bamboo sticks.

When this stick was hit, it seemed unremarkable, simple without flowers, and without those splendid clusters, but Huo Xijing's complexion changed, and he felt the cold surging, and the face was like a knife and axe, and a sharp blade was on the head. , Quiet and then move, wind and rain run to the clouds.

Only then did Huo Xijing know that the "soft persimmon" he just thought was actually a "hot potato"!

But it was too late to regret at this time. If only Shen Qiao was present, he would naturally not be afraid, but Yan Wushi was next to him, which made him very jealous, and he was not interested in fighting, so he could only hurriedly retreat. Back a few feet.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qiao was also chasing after him. His footwork seemed light as if nothing, but he was as steady as a rock. He could always keep a close distance from Huo Xijing.

Bianbianmei looked on with cold eyes and was surprised. The footwork of the Huanyue Sect is about lightness and beauty. The footwork used by Shen Qiao is somewhat consistent with the style of the Huanyue Sect, but there are many differences. It seems to imply innate gossip, Zi Wei Doushu seems to be easy to see through, but upon closer inspection, it is chaotic, mysterious and infinite.

There seems to be something wrong with the other party's eyes, which was originally an obvious sign, but he searched his stomach and couldn't think of when such a master appeared in the rivers and lakes. Looking at the master's expression, he was not surprised. Continue to watch the two fight.

Shen Qiao really wanted Huo Xijing's life.

That's why he is famous and full of evil. Whenever he sees someone who is beautiful and pleasing to the eye, he will peel off the other person's face and replace it with himself. This strange habit occurs, and sometimes even two or three faces are changed within a month. Naturally, it is impossible for the person whose face was changed by him to survive, and Huo Xijing, regardless of whether he is from the Jianghu or not, as long as he is attracted to him, he will most likely not be able to escape.

The family members of those who were killed naturally hated Huo Xijing to the core, but this man was highly skilled in martial arts and was protected by the Hehuan Sect.

There is a saying in Buddhists that "practice the heart of a bodhisattva by means of thunderbolts", and Taoism also pays attention to "eliminating evil and promoting goodness". As a result, at this time, he had already made up his mind to eliminate the evil of Huo Xijing, so he shot mercilessly and made fierce moves, all of which were determined to eliminate evil.

When he was not injured before, Huo Xijing would not be Shen Qiao's opponent anyway, but at this time, Shen Qiao's skill was only half left, and his eyes were inconvenient. After all, Huan is a strange poison in the world. At that time, it was too fierce to hurt the body. Now there are still residual poisons in the body, which cannot be solved by explanation.

So the two were entangled for a while, and they couldn't tell the difference.

Huo Xijing didn't want to fight Shen Qiao at all. Although Yan Wushi didn't take action, the beast was on the side, eyeing him. Who knew when he wanted to take action, he would take action. He was eager to get out, but Shen Qiao refused to let him go, Huo Xijing Yue The more he fought, the more anxious he felt in his heart, he wished to strangle Shen Qiao to death, but he didn't have the ability, so he could only continue to sink in the quagmire.

When a person is restless and distracted, his actions will inevitably reveal flaws. Although Shen Qiao's eyesight is not good, he is mostly trying to deal with the enemy. Now he is looking at an empty door, using the stick as a sword, and turning the virtual into the real. Huo Xijing's heart!

The bamboo stick was as light as it was lifted, and as gentle as a lover's face, but Huo Xijing knew that if he was targeted by the other party, the bamboo stick would probably pass through his chest. Avoiding the opponent's offensive, while sending a palm, full of true energy, the wind and thunder are surging, and the opponent must retreat.

Unexpectedly, instead of retreating or dodging to the side, Shen Qiao did not lose his momentum. When Huo Xijing patted the palm, the other side didn't even look at it. He came straight in, and the two touched each other. Straight through his palm.

Shapeshifting? Huo Xijing was shocked. Wasn't this a unique stunt that Qifeng Pavilion was famous all over the world back then? !

Before his body could react, a tingling pain came from his back.

This kind of pain is really unpleasant, like a hand trying to rip out his heart, Huo Xijing couldn't help screaming!

However, Shen Qiao was unable to penetrate the bamboo stick through his back. The bamboo stick seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand and could no longer move forward!

Shen Qiao's face changed!
