Chapter 50

When Ruan Hailou rushed to the patriarch's building, others thought that he had accumulated hatred in his heart for more than ten years and wanted to vent his anger on the tablet, but they never expected such an ending.

Ruan Hailou was no longer on the edge of the cliff, but everyone couldn't recover for a long time. They didn't know whether to sigh or grit their teeth. Thinking about those disciples of Bixia Sect who died tragically, they could only sigh in the end.

After a long time, Yue Kunchi said abruptly, "Junior sister, Shizun's tablet was also taken down by him. Is there a new tablet for Shizun in the ancestral building?"

Zhao Chiying was silent for a moment: "For now, let's talk about this later."

She turned around and saw Shen Qiao and Shi Shi: "Does Taoist Master Shen have any free time? I have something to ask for advice."

Shen Qiao: "Sect Master Zhao, please."

Seeing Fifteen following behind, Zhao Chiying had a hint of unease on her face, so she couldn't help but smile: "Fifteen will come with you."

Fifteen was a little embarrassed. He was shy by nature. At this time, he couldn't help hiding half of his face behind Shen Qiao. Thinking about it, it seemed a little rude, and he quickly came out and said, "Thank you, Sect Master Zhao."

Even Yue Kunchi thought Fifteen was cute, he couldn't help laughing, and he forgot that he had internal injuries. After laughing, he couldn't help gasping for breath.

"I asked you to rest and you didn't listen. If that's the case, then let's come together." Zhao Chiying shook her head, obviously not being good to this senior brother. She pointed her left hand forward: "Shen Daochang, please."

She brought the three to the Zhengyang Hall of Bixia Sect. This place is used by the suzerain to entertain guests on weekdays. Since the decline of Bixia Sect, there have been no guests here for a long time. .

Shen Qiao and Fifteen had just sat down when they saw Zhao Chiying with a solemn expression and bowed down to Shen Qiao.

"Why did Sect Master Zhao make such a great gift?" Shen Qiao was very surprised and wanted to help him when he got up, but Zhao Chiying stopped him.

"I have already heard from my senior brother and Yuan Bai that Daochang Shen, for the sake of Uncle Zhu's death, entrusted him to send Fifteen from Ye City to the Bixia Sect. He promises a lot of money, and he will do what he says. He deserves my worship."

Shen Qiao smiled miserably: "At that time, the incident happened suddenly in your faction, and I didn't have time to explain it. I'm afraid Sect Master Zhao and Elder Yue still know something. The reason why Brother Zhu died is all because of me."

After that, he recounted the fact that he and Sang Jingxing were seriously injured in the fight, hid in the mountains after nine deaths, was rescued by the fifteenth, and was taken in by the master and disciple, but finally brought them the calamity of death.

For Fifteen, he recalled these things again, and every scene was full of blood and tears, but he learned bravery from Shen Qiao, and he was no longer a child who shed tears at every turn. At this time, he was just holding back his grief and holding his hands tightly. Holding on, not saying a word.

After Shen Qiao finished speaking, there was silence in Zhengyang Hall, and after a while, Zhao Chiying said solemnly: "One thing is another, no one could have expected the death of Uncle Zhu, and you don't want it to happen. He died calmly, he must be willing, no one can force it, benevolence and benevolence, how can it be said that it was because of Shen Daochang? It should be counted on them."

The other party was so sensible, but Shen Qiao felt more guilty.

He is willing to show kindness to others, and he doesn't care how much he gains or loses, but when others return kindness and even die for him, he feels more uncomfortable than if he didn't get anything in return.

Fifteen seemed to sense his thoughts and suddenly held his hand.

The palm was covered with a small warmth, and Shen Qiao couldn't help holding Shi Shi's hand back, wrapping the warmth into the palm of his hand.

"Thank you for your understanding, Zhao Zongzhu, since this matter started because of me, I should solve it freely, and it has nothing to do with Bixiazong."

Zhao Chiying saw that they had a deep relationship between one big and one small, and they were already inseparable. She thought about it and asked, "Uncle Zhu explained on his deathbed, but wants Fifteen to come to Bixia Sect?"

Shen Qiao: "Yes, although Brother Zhu ran away for some reason and never came back, in his heart, he always regarded himself as a member of Bixia Sect."

Zhao Chiying took the wooden plaque handed over by Fifteen, and rubbed the word "Zhu" on it. This calm and self-controlled woman showed a sad expression: "The Bixia Sect once produced the top ten masters in the world, but it is a pity that the sect was in strife, Talents are withering away, and the day is not as good as the day, and today’s affairs are even worse, just now Yuanbai has counted, and there are only six disciples who survived in the sect.”

Counting Zhao Chiying and Yue Kunchi, there are only eight people. What an eight-person sect can do, I'm afraid it doesn't require foreign enemies to invade. If this generation does not have slightly better talents, within ten years, this sect will be on the rivers and lakes. Already dead in name.

Yue Kunchi felt sad when he heard it, so he reluctantly pulled another person to make up the number: "I have another disciple in Yecheng..."

Shen Qiao thought for a moment: "Brother Yue said Han Eying?"

Yue Kunchi: "Exactly, this person's father is Han Feng, a servant of the State of Qi. Her qualifications are acceptable, but because of her special status, I was not admitted to the sect, and I only taught it as an outside disciple a few times. Have you seen Dao Master Shen?"

"There was a relationship once." Shen Qiao replied.

The reason why he knew Han Eying was because he was rescued by Yan Wushi, and he appeared here because Yan Wushi handed him over to Sang Jingxing.

All cause and effect are inherently implicated, and in the end, everything may be inseparable from a name.

Shen Qiao suddenly remembered what Pu Anmi said before. He said that Yan Wushi would soon be unable to protect himself, and Bai Rong also said similar things.

Such a person who is moody and angry and acts at will, will inevitably make countless enemies, but if there is anyone in the world who can kill him, Shen Qiao really can't find it, just because Yan Wushi's martial arts has defects of inner demons, but his The realm has already surpassed the ranks of ordinary first-class masters. This can be seen from his previous fight with Ru Yan Kehui. If it wasn't because of Yan Wushi's unstable heart, Ru Yan Kehui was afraid that it would not be as simple as not being able to do it for a few months. .

In the world, there is no Qi Fengge, no Cui Youliang, and Yan Wushi has no opponent. Even if Qifengge Cui Youliang reincarnates, with Yan Wushi's current martial arts, they may not be able to win.

Pu An has a deep understanding in his heart, and Bai Rong's words are by no means random nonsense...

Shen Qiao frowned, pressing this detail back into the depths of her mind for a while.

Now that he thinks of the name Yan Wushi, he still has the feeling of being in a trance in the woods at the foot of Bailong Mountain, the intense heart sutra that would rather burn jade and stone and die with Sang Jingxing, as if he still lingers.

Breaking and standing up, it seems simple to say, but for him, it is almost a half-life hardship, crossing the abyss of life and death, and climbing up little by little from the bottom of the cliff.

Now it's light and cloudy, but at that time it was heart-wrenching, and life was better than death.

"Master Shen?" Fifteen's slightly worried voice came.

Shen Qiao gave him a reassuring smile, indicating that he was fine, and then said to Zhao Chiying, "Now that the fifteenth has arrived at Bixia Sect safely, I don't know how Sect Master Zhao has arranged for him? If there is anything that Pindao can help, please ask Sect Master Zhao. Do not hesitate to speak."

Zhao Chiying said, "I do have a request, it's about fifteen."

Facing Shen Qiao's doubtful eyes, she said, "Fifteen already has a master in Bixia Sect, and his master is Uncle Zhu, and this will never change. Others, even me, are not qualified to be fifteen. But I know that Taoist Shen must have taught Fifteen very well along the way, and if fifteen must have another person who can lead him to grow up and teach him martial arts, I hope that person is Taoist Shen."

Shen Qiao was a little surprised: "In this case, I'm afraid it will go against Brother Zhu's wishes..."

Zhao Chiying shook his head and smiled and said, "Uncle Zhu asked Fifteen to return to his sect because he was afraid that he would be helpless in the future. Now that Daoist Shen is here, in fact, Uncle Zhu doesn't have to worry anymore. Although Uncle Zhu is no longer alive, the gate of Bixia Sect will always be there. Open for Fifteen, apart from Bixia Sect, it does not prevent Fifteen from apprenticing. I think Fifteen is talented and intelligent, and now Bixia Sect is weak, everything has to start from scratch, and I am a person who does not know how to teach apprentices. Fear of delaying such a good aptitude as Fifteen, it would be the best choice for him to follow you, Daochang Shen."

After that, she said fifteen more times: "Fifteen, you haven't officially apprenticed to Master Shen yet? Why don't you give Master a cup of tea while we are witnessing today?"

Fifteen was overjoyed and couldn't help but look at Shen Qiao: "Master Shen, is it alright?"

Shen Qiao couldn't bear to disappoint him, and nodded with a smile, "Yes."

Fifteen couldn't help but let out a low cheer, and immediately knelt down in front of Shen Qiao, kowtowed three times seriously, took the tea handed by Zhao Chiying, raised his hands above his head, and said loudly, "Master is above. , Disciple 15, from now on, you must be sincere in your teaching, sincerity in learning martial arts, and sincerity in being a person.

Shen Qiao's eyebrows were curved, and his eyes contained a smile. When the fifteenth finished, he took the teacup and drank it, pulled the person up, and reached out to pat the dust on his body.

Zhao Chiying chuckled: "Uncle Zhu really found a good teacher for Fifteen, and Daoist Shen is to Fifteen, how is it like an apprentice, it's like his own son!"

Fifteen Little's face was flushed with undisguised joy.

When the master and apprentice status was officially confirmed, Yue Kunchi brought up the business: "Just now Pu Anmi said that his master Kunxie will come up the mountain soon, and he will come to support him. We are imprisoned, I am afraid that we will be provoked by excuses, I heard that Daochang Shen had dealt with Kunxie in the past, I don’t know what this person’s temperament is, how can he deal with it?”

Shen Qiao pondered: "This person's martial arts is slightly inferior to his senior brother Duan Wenyang, and his vision is not as good, but his martial arts can still be among the first-class masters, and there may be a battle at that time."

Yue Kunchi looked worried: "If he goes up the mountain alone, that's fine. If he brings Turkic masters, there are only a few people left in the Bixia Sect, and the junior sister alone can't match the heroes!"

Zhao Chiying said: "It doesn't matter, Bixia Sect has lost nothing to this day. If we don't fight back, we will be delisted from Jianghu. Yuan Bai and Ye Xue are still young, so please ask Brother Yue to take them down the mountain for a while. To avoid the injury, Taoist Shen also took Fifteen to leave, I have been in seclusion for a long time, and all the responsibilities fall on the head of the senior brother, which has made you tired, and now everything is borne by me alone."

Yue Kunchi's eyes were red: "What are you talking about, I'm not leaving!"

Zhao Chiying showed a little impatience: "Your injury is not serious now, and staying here will not help, it will only add to the burden, and it will distract me. It's better to follow Daochang Shen and the others down the mountain together, so as not to always sway in front of me. Shaking, annoying and chattering."

Yue Kunchi smiled: "I know you don't want me to be in danger, so you said that on purpose. In any case, Bixia Sect has nothing to lose now, you have to enter together and retreat together. I am to blame for the breach, and I will never leave early."

Shen Qiao also said, "Sect Master Zhao, I and Fifteen will also stay."

Zhao Chiying frowned: "You..."

Shen Qiao: "In the past, I fought against Kunxie and fell off a cliff. Although some of them are not very human, but losing is losing, and winning is winning. If there is a chance to play against Kunxie again today, I will definitely do it. Go all out and ask Sect Master Zhao to give me this opportunity.”

Zhao Chiying: "What if I refuse?"

Shen Qiao said with a smile: "Then poor Daoist had to stay here and wait for Kunxie to come."

Zhao Chiying stared at him for a while, then suddenly sighed, "How can Bixiazong and Zhao Chiying meet a friend like Taoist Shen?"

Shen Qiao: "The white head is as new as the old one. Brother Zhu can sacrifice his life for a stranger like me, so I can also fight for the Bixia Sect, not to mention that I do have a relationship with Kunxie in the past. Now, it's not all for Bixiazong's sake."

Zhao Chiying and Shen Qiao met in a hurry, and they couldn't talk about deep friendship, but because they had experienced the Bixia Sect together, they had a very good impression of him. Now that he was willing to stand up for a Bixia Sect that had nothing to do with him, he was very excited. It is gratitude: "Thank you for your great kindness. I will keep the painstaking efforts and friendship of Daochang Shen in my heart. I won't say anything in the future. In the future, whenever Daoist Shen is in need, my Bixia Sect will definitely go through fire and water, and I will do whatever it takes!"

Several people discussed the Kunxie matter, and roughly settled down. Seeing Fifteen's tired face, Shen Qiao got up and said goodbye, and took Fifteen back to the guest room to rest.

On the way back, Shi Shi asked Shen Qiao: "Master, what did Sect Master Zhao mean when he said remember your painstaking efforts, I don't quite understand."

Shen Qiao said: "Bixia Sect is declining day by day, Sect Master Zhao doesn't say anything, but she must be very anxious in her heart. She knows that the strong in the rivers and lakes are respected, so she can't wait to hope that the martial arts will be successful and can protect the division from being affected by external forces. Unfortunately, Lu Feng betrayed the teacher's sect and colluded with outsiders to attack while she was practicing. Sect Master Zhao had to forcibly break the barrier. Although it was not obvious at this time, he had already suffered internal injuries. If he fought against Kun Xie, there was no chance of winning Yan, she knew that I took the initiative to fight against Kunxie, and she said thank you for my painstaking efforts to save her."

Fifteen sighed, and couldn't help but get nervous: "What about you, Master, can you beat Kunxie? I heard that you lost to Kunxie before, isn't he very good?"

A child is careless and has no scruples when he speaks. If it was someone else, he might have to weigh whether this sentence would hurt Shen Qiao's face.

Shen Qiao said with a smile: "He's not the most powerful, but he does have something special. I haven't recovered my skills yet. If I want to beat him, I'm not completely sure."

Fifteen: "What are the odds of winning?"

Shen Qiao rubbed his clenched eyebrows: "Five or five."

Fifteen's eyebrows were not smoothed, but tightened even more, obviously frightened by his words.

Kunxie's skill is slightly inferior to that of his senior brother Duan Wenyang, but it's not much lower. He teamed up with Yu Ai to poison Shen Qiao. Although he won a disgraceful victory, his own strength is not bad. If Zhao Chiying's skill is not damaged. , may be able to draw a tie with him, but it's hard to say now, if there is no Shen Qiao this time, maybe Bixiazong really can't escape the ending of defending or evacuating early, but in this way, even if they withdraw early, The sect on Candle South Peak is occupied by outsiders, and the inheritance of Bixia Sect will be destroyed. Ruan Hailou's hatred for Huileshan will inevitably turn his anger on the ancestors of Bixia Sect.

So what Shen Qiao promised was not just a fight, a righteous help, but it was very likely to keep the crumbling foundation of Bixia Sect that was about to be destroyed.

Fifteen suddenly hugged Shen Qiao, buried his head in his arms, and said sullenly, "Do you have to fight? Your martial arts haven't fully recovered yet!"

Shen Qiao hugged him back: "The number of five or five does not mean that there is no chance. I am fighting hard now, so I may not have no chance. I lost to Kunxie that day, and I have fallen to the bottom since then. No matter how many excuses there are, he is mine. A hurdle, a demon, I fell there, so I have to learn to get back up from there now, can you understand?"

Fifteen hugged him without speaking, and after a long time, he whispered: "Understood... I just don't want you to be in trouble..."

Shen Qiao said with a smile: "I'll be fine, when you are your master, how can you not live a hundred years? I promised Brother Lian Zhu's life to live together, and when you become a white-bearded old man, you will have to be a teacher. I will teach you a lesson with your ears all day long, and I will see if you are annoying!"

Fifteen puffed, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Shen Qiao sighed and touched him: "People who are masters are all apprentices to show their filial piety. I have an apprentice, but I will do everything possible to make him happy. Being a master is like me, but I really don't have any dignity. !"

Fifteen smiled and did not refute, thinking in his heart that you, the most dignified master, are the best master in the world.

Thinking that he was Shen Qiao's disciple, he felt content in his heart.

Two days later, the bottom of the mountain was calm, and no outsiders went up the mountain, but this also gave Bixia Sect a chance to rest. Fifteen helped Fan Yuanbai and the others to collect the bodies of the Bixia Sect disciples who died in this battle and bury them one by one. The originally lively sect went through a slaughter and bloody battle, but only an empty and desolate place remained.

Although Fan Yuanbai, Zhou Yexue and the others survived, their faces were not necessarily happy. They were both sad for their deceased colleagues and worried about the upcoming fierce battle, so it was natural that their emotions could not be high.

On the third day, the bell rang outside the Zhengyang Hall, affecting all parts of the Bixia Sect. This was the disciple who was on duty in the middle of the mountain and sent a message, indicating that someone was going up the mountain, and he couldn't stop it.

When everyone heard the news and rushed to the front of the mountain gate, they saw a young man dressed as an alien standing there with his hands behind his back, followed by two people, with a high nose and deep eyes, his hair was loose, tied into a braid, and tied with a turban. Distinctive dress, people can recognize their identities at a glance.

Zhao Chiying said solemnly: "I don't know if your distinguished guests are here, but you will be far away to welcome them. Bixia Sect Zhao Chiying is here, dare to ask Your Excellency Gao's name?"

"Turkey Kunxie, I'm here to get back the unworthy apprentice." The other party said proudly, looked her up and down again, and shook his head: "You are Zhao Chiying, the Sect Master of the Bixia Sect? It is rumored that you are extremely talented and a figure in the rejuvenation of the Bixia Sect. At first glance, it's just that."

Fan Yuanbai and others behind him glared at each other when they heard the words, but Zhao Chiying was shocked.

She suddenly remembered Shen Qiao's evaluation of Kunxie: this person has a noble status in the Turks, and he is also a disciple of Hulu Gu, so he is very arrogant, but martial arts is really tyrannical, even if he does not enter the top ten in the world, it is not far away. Regardless of whether he played a role in the first battle of Banbu Peak, this is not a character to be underestimated.

Kun Xie said such words as soon as they met. Obviously, it was not just to look down on Zhao Chiying, or to provoke her, but to see that she had internal injuries and could not compete with him.

The sharp eyes of the other party really responded to what Shen Qiao said earlier.

Zhao Chiying's heart sank slightly, but her face did not show any expression: "It turns out that the Turkic Zuo Xian Wang came to visit, and the disciple and Dongzhou sent Ruan Hailou, colluded with my traitor Lu Feng, and slaughtered the disciples of Bixia Zong. I don't know how King Zuo Xian explained it?"

Kun Xie laughed: "Pu Anmi was invited by the elders of your sect, and just came up to the mountain as a guest. Who knows that what awaits him is not the delicious food and wine, but the swords, swords, swords and halberds of the disciples of the sect. Now he is dead or alive, I am the master. I don’t know yet, how should Sect Master Zhao explain to me?”

This is purely absurd. If Kunxie hadn't made an appointment with his apprentice to come over and take advantage of the fisherman, how would he know that Pu Anmi was trapped here?

Anger appeared on everyone's face.

Pu Anmi was imprisoned. Zhao Chiying didn't kill him, but he couldn't just let him go. Otherwise, the news of Bixiazong's submission to the Turks would spread, and it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future, not to mention the numerous blood debts of his disciples. Pu Anmi is also needed. to repay.

Zhao Chiying said lightly: "You and I know what the disciple did, and it is useless for King Zuo Xian to argue here. If there is still one person in the Bixia Sect, they will not allow you to take Pu Anmi away."

Kunxie laughed as if he heard a big joke: "Zhao Chiying, I see that there are less than ten disciples behind you, your Bixia Sect has long since existed in name only, what confidence do you have to say this, today I will If I kill you, where will the Bixia Sect still exist in this world in the future!"

"You can kill people, but you can't kill people's hearts."

The voice was so familiar, Kun Xie couldn't help frowning, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a man walking over with a sword.

That face was so familiar that Kun Xie would never forget it in his dreams.

Because he once fought this person on Banbu Peak.

That battle attracted worldwide attention, and he became famous in the Central Plains.

The person in front of him has since lost his reputation and lost his martial arts. He was lucky enough to get his life back, but at most he could only survive the rest of his life.

"Shen, Qiao." Kun Xie burst out the name from between his teeth, containing complex emotions that he couldn't even explain himself.

"Stay safe, Kunxie."

Shen Qiao nodded towards him, just as he was on Banbu Peak that day. It's just that Shen Qiao was a master and a figure admired by the world at that time, while Kun Xie entered the Central Plains for the first time, and his reputation was not obvious.

Now that the time has changed, the positions of the two have changed dramatically. Kunxie is no longer the Kunxie of the day, and Shen Qiao is not the headmaster of Xuandu Mountain.

But how could he be so calm?

As soon as the two sides met, Kun Xie had taken a closer look at Shen Qiao's current appearance, but could not find the slightest bit of depression or pain.

Shen Qiao is still Shen Qiao, he has hardly changed.

Do not!

Still.

Kun Xie suddenly said: "Shen Chongjiao, ah, can't, you can't call you a palmism, Shen Dao is long, but you were injured when you fell on the cliff that day?

Shen Yan: "Yes, but the eyes have nothing to do with falling cliffs, but because of seeing each other and the reason, shouldn't you be clearer than me?"

Kun Xie shook his head: "To blame you to blame your brother Yu Yan, it is the poison he gave you, not me, I have a fight with you, the light is bright and the light is on the half -step peak. I saw it, I didn't have a little dark arrow hurt. "

He looked at the sword in Shen Yan's hand and laughed: "Are you unwilling to fail, so do you treat me in this way, or do you want to help Bixiazong's head?"

Shen Yan said: "If the past, if the water is flowing today, the past cannot be chased. Today I am waiting for each other, but I ask for the battle, I wonder if you dare to fight?"

He slowly pulled out the sword, the sword tip towards him, trembling slightly, and a glimpse of Zibo in the sun.

Kun Xie accepted the slow color, and his face became extremely serious.

He also pulled out the knife on his back.

This battle is always coming early or late.

Kunxie even realized his excitement from his bones. Although he won Shen Yan last time, he was deep in his heart, and he didn't see each other horizontally. He always felt that his victory was uncomfortable.

And this time, he will let Shen Yan take a mouthful!
