Incredible

Can't open it.It was as if his body was frozen, and gusts of cold air kept rushing upwards, so that he almost forgot how to exercise his energy to regulate his inner breath.

He knew he was seriously injured.He was afraid that he would become a useless person, that he would not be able to serve the Duan family, and would not be able to call himself a "swordsman". This kind of fear that penetrated into the bone marrow made him ignore all pain and desperately opened his eyes wide.Finally, the dim light shone into his eyes.He saw Wei Lingfeng looking down at him, Xu Xingxiu glanced at him sideways, and said, ""Lingsu Mind Method" is somewhat useful. Junior brother, don't say that it is a broken book."

While bandaging Zhao Bangjie's wound, Wei Lingfeng asked, "How is Di An's current situation?"

Shen Yao's voice came from the other side: "My life was saved. But... the loss of internal strength, I don't know how many years it will take to make up for it."

Zhao Bangjie turned his eyes to where Di An was.Wei Lingfeng seemed to guess what he was thinking, and immediately explained: "You can't speak, and you have to be patient for a while. Tan Baiqing hurt your heart and stole a piece of your flesh. It's not a good time right now. You didn't If you are poisoned, you should be able to adjust your breath, and after half a month, you will be able to recover [-] to [-]% of your skills."

The dark light of the candle is blurred, leaving double shadows when blinking.Zhao Bangjie's expression was dazed, and he stared at a candle for a long time before remembering that when he was in the Liuguang School, Tan Baiqing's two fingers took away a piece of his heart.Strange, how could he survive such a serious injury?He is not a top expert, and does not have magical powers to protect his body.

He was about to ask, why is Dean with them?What happened to Dean?Then I heard Shen Yao say: "Just now, I really thought Di An was going to die. Fortunately, Senior Brother Xu intervened in time. Senior Brother Xu, do you know martial arts?"

Xu Xingxiu said: "It is better to have no books than to believe in books. It is said in "Lingsu Heart Method" that one must wait until the bones are raw and the wounds healed. If we really have to wait until then, even gods will not be able to take back Di An's life."

Shen Yao was too tired and still dare not relax.He simply clenched his fists tightly and made a crunching sound for a moment, then lowered his head to do things: "Eldest brother said that "Lingsu Xinfa" saves people, and one life is worth one life..."

Xu Xingxiu interrupted him: "Both you and Wei Lingfeng should lie down and rest."

The sky was getting brighter, and the morning light was showing in the distance. Xu Xingxiu's voice was hoarse, and he put his hand on Shen Yao's back and patted: "Go and rest, I am here."

The scene in front of me is so familiar.Shen Yao couldn't help but said: "I remembered, when we were in Anjiang City, we were busy all night... I don't know where Huang Banxia is, I should have left him in Anjiang City at that time."

Xu Xingxiu said without hesitation: "I forgot to tell you that Huang Banxia was found by Chu Kairong."

Shen Yao said: "Chu Kairong? Isn't that good? Tomorrow I'll ask him for someone..."

Xu Xingxiu hesitated to speak.Shen Yao sat in front of a table with his head on the table, he fell asleep before he finished speaking.There were only three chairs in the room.The chair Shen Yao was sitting on had no backrest.After he fell asleep, his shoulders slanted and he fell to one side, his legs pressed against the corners of the bench, and he was about to fall to the ground.

Wei Lingfeng stretched out his hand and was about to help him, but he only had one hand and one leg to use, so he moved much slower than usual.

With a "bang", Shen Yao fell to the ground on his back and woke himself up abruptly.

Fortunately, there was a blanket on the ground, and Shen Yao did not have any new injuries.He turned up his clothes, covered his head, rolled twice, rolled to Wei Lingfeng's side, continued to sleep with his sleeves in his hands, and said before going to sleep, "Brother Xu, wake me up in a quarter of an hour. My head hurts too much , the pain is so painful, let me rest for a while, and then I will make medicine..."

No one called him.

He slept through the night.

When he woke up, he sat up suddenly as if he was facing an enemy, and Di An, Liu Qingqing, and Zhao Bangjie were all able to speak.This is a great joy, the few things that happened in recent days can make Shen Yao feel relieved.

However, Wei Lingfeng and Xu Xingxiu's complexions were not very good.Shen Yao hurriedly said: "Come on, you guys go to bed quickly. Leave the rest to me."

Wei Lingfeng said: "It's okay, when I was studying, I often stayed up all night. One night and two nights are no different to me."

Shen Yao sat on the ground with his left leg bent upwards, his elbow resting on his knee, and his left hand supported his chin. He didn't speak, but just met Wei Lingfeng's eyes.Wei Lingfeng told him the truth: "At first I thought that saving people with "Lingsu Heart Method" would lead to one death and one injury. Now, Di An and Zhao Bangjie are alive and showing signs of improvement...Junior brother Xu and I, we Both are worried about..."

Shen Yao answered: "What are you worried about?"

Neither Wei Lingfeng nor Xu Xingxiu spoke.

Liu Qingqing suddenly said: "Hahahahahahahaha, they are naturally worried that the little alchemy school can't hide this shocking secret book."

Shen Yao scratched his head and shouted: "Liu Qingqing!"

Liu Qingqing was taken aback: "Why?"

Shen Yao stared at her: "When we were watching the shadow puppet show in Qingguan Town, as soon as the treacherous and evil people came out, they would laugh wildly. Before you speak, can you not learn from those opera singers?"

Liu Qingqing covered her face with her sleeves and said, "Okay, I won't study in the future."

Shen Yao nodded, and then returned to the topic: "This is easy to handle! None of us should spread this matter to the outside world. If people in the world don't know, they won't covet that broken book."

Xu Xingxiu fetched a basin of clean well water and was rinsing the gauze.After hearing Shen Yao's words, he immediately corrected him: "You have to remember, first, "Lingsu Xinfa" is a secret book of the alchemy school, not a broken book, how many times do you want me to tell you? Last night we all Tried it, the method in the book works.”

Wei Lingfeng added: "Secondly, since Tan Baiqing was responsible for Zhao Bangjie's injury, as long as Tan Baiqing sees Zhao Bangjie, he can deduce the effect of the "Lingsu Heart Method". Tianfu. Ah Yao, have you heard Master mention the Valley of Medicine Kings?"

Wei Lingfeng changed his clothes, and the material of the clothes was much better than the ones he usually wears.There was also a cotton quilt covering his legs, and a small word "Duan" was embroidered on the corner of the cloth, which was obviously a kind donation from the Duan family.Shen Yao sat on the side, raised his hand and rubbed the cotton wool, and then said, "Well, I've heard of it."

Wei Lingfeng responded: "The master of Medicine King Valley is coming to Yingtian Mansion, and our master may also..."

Shen Yao grabbed Wei Lingfeng's wrist, felt halfway through his pulse, and said in a confused tone, "You mean, our master is also coming to Yingtian Mansion? What is the old man doing here? He doesn't know martial arts."

"If he wants to come, no one can stop him," Xu Xingxiu said, "You know the temper of the master. All the decent sects agree to execute Wei Lingfeng, he will not just let the eldest disciple die."

Liu Qingqing lay aside and interjected: "What can we do when he comes? Tan Baiqing was the first to kill him."

"No." Zhao Bangjie answered.

Zhao Bangjie and Di An sat together.They all put their long swords in the corner.At this time, he was unarmed, like a young man who was harmless to humans and animals.But because of the unhealed injuries, their faces were all pale.Zhao Bangjie's chest was tightly wrapped with gauze, half of his chest and his entire abdomen were naked.It was exposed, but a piece of clothing was draped over the shoulders to cover it up a little.

Zhao Bangjie breathed a sigh of relief after recuperating his dantian, and then said, "I would like to testify for Dr. Shen and Dr. Wei."

Di An hesitated for a moment, then said, "Me too."

Shen Yao frowned: "You can ask Duan Wuhen first."

Xu Xingxiu informed again: "Duan Wuhen is under house arrest."

In his daily life, Xu Xingxiu pays the most attention to tact and tact.However, the big changes happened one after another in the past few days, and he didn't bother to put on a show, so he just said something, which would save trouble.

Shen Yao sighed softly: "Brother Zhao, Brother Di, I may not listen to what I said, but even your young master is under house arrest, so let's forget about the confessions of the two of you. Don't worry about it now, just take care of your wounds." Most important."

Unlike Xu Xingxiu, Wei Lingfeng seems to have maintained his previous state of mind.Wei Lingfeng looked at Zhao Bangjie, and tried to persuade him: "This matter happened because of me, I should apologize to you. Rehabilitation is the top priority, you..."

Before Wei Lingfeng could finish his sentence, Zhao Bangjie lowered his head and said, "Doctor Wei thinks that I am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Shen Yao immediately smoothed things over: "How could it be, you are the most heroic knight in the world."

Zhao Bangjie was about to argue when Di An pulled his sleeve.So he stopped talking to Shen Yao and the others, and instead whispered to Di An.Another half an hour later, two beautiful maids in satin dresses came to the pharmacy with food boxes to deliver food.They sent seven servings of rice, exactly one bowl for each person. The bowls contained rice, boiled eggs, and seasonal vegetables, and all seven servings were exactly the same.Shen Yao felt relieved, picked up a bowl of rice, and vigorously picked up the chopsticks, like a starved ghost reincarnated.

After eating three mouthfuls, Shen Yao choked on the rice, so he could only shrink in the corner, coughing frantically, until his lungs were about to burst.Wei Lingfeng put his arms around his shoulders, helped him to relax, and coaxed him: "Eat slowly. If it's not enough, I'll give you this bowl."

For some reason, his eye sockets became slightly hot.

Shen Yao and others rested in the pharmacy for several days, not caring about worldly affairs, only caring about recuperating.

Although there were no beds in the pharmacy, they slept on blankets and covered with good cotton quilts, which felt like beds.The stove was always burning fiercely, making the room warm and dry, with sufficient medicinal materials, food and clothing for three meals, and all the wounded were getting better.

During this period, Duan Yongxuan also came.He saw that Zhao Bangjie was in good condition, with a rare expression on his face.Shen Yao was afraid that he, like Tan Baiqing, would use any means for the "Lingsu Heart Method".Duan Yongxuan didn't even mention a single word, but only told Shen Yao that the demon girl had been captured and killed by the head of the Liuguang Sect, her body was completely naked.Naked, hanging outside the city gate of Yingtian Mansion to warn people not to do evil.

Shen Yao was startled when he heard this.

After Duan Yongxuan left, Shen Yao kept a close eye on Liu Qingqing.Liu Qingqing ate leisurely and contentedly, and praised the Duan family's food and cook, thanking the head of the Duan family for his open-mindedness, there was no poison in the meal.Di An then sneered: "Only you can do poisoning, that's so nasty and useless."

Liu Qingqing quarreled with him: "Yaowanggu is much more poisonous than us. Why don't you mention Yaowanggu?"

Di An's current skill is only [-]% of what it used to be.He is still recovering from his injuries. Wei Lingfeng said that he will take half a year to recover, and he feels that the heavens have treated him favorably.I never thought I would survive.

He is not good at quarreling, let alone Liu Qingqing.The two couldn't get along with each other, so he immediately drew his sword. At this time, Shen Yao would be a peacemaker who stepped forward.

Standing in front of Liu Qingqing, Shen Yao advised Di An, "Yaowanggu's poison is very powerful. That's not scolding them, but praising them. Besides, you are not from Yaowanggu, don't do it for medicine. Wang Gu was angry."

Afterwards, Shen Yao turned around and said to Liu Qingqing: "There will be no poison in the food. We eat the same food as Brother Zhao and Brother Di every day. If the Duan family wants to kill us, just do it directly. It will take a moment." No. Poisoning is really too troublesome, and the corpse is prone to plague. The incident in Anjiang City is a lesson for the past."

Liu Qingqing turned around, sat on the table, and asked him: "The plague in Anjiang City is caused by someone poisoning?"

"I guessed wildly," Shen Yao said frankly, "I met the elders of the Five Poison Sect. They taught me some principles of the "Poison Classic."

Liu Qingqing's feet were off the ground, dangling in the air, and the hem of the brocade skirt was slightly raised.She has been very lively these days, with a bold and cheerful temperament, exactly the same as when she was in Qingguan Town.But when she was serving Yuntang, she seemed to become cautious and ruthless.

Shen Yao secretly asked her: "Have you ever thought about throwing away all the affairs of the world, returning to Qingguan Town, and living the life of the past?"

Liu Qingqing tilted her head to look at him, said with a smile, "I don't want to."

Shen Yao asked: "Why?"

Liu Qingqing said: "I thought you understood me."

Shen Yao was a little embarrassed: "I don't understand why you have to follow Yuntang, Cheng Xueluo and the others to lick blood?"

Liu Qingqing asked back: "You used to say that you want to earn a mountain of gold and silver. You want to buy the best horses, silks and satins, medicinal materials, houses and fertile fields and give them to Wei Lingfeng. What do you think now?"

Shen Yao wrapped a hair band around his wrist: "I am now...willing to be poor."

But Liu Qingqing approached him suddenly, and said to him seriously: "You can't choose the path you want to take after bitterness. I heard from the teacher that Wei Lingfeng was raised in the Valley of the Medicine King since he was a child. The owner of the valley must have plans for him. Only then will he survive. Now, Tan Baiqing, Yaowanggu, Tianxia Yizhuang, and many famous sects are all trying to capture Wei Lingfeng alive. If you take him away, where can you escape?"

Shen Yao heard what she meant, and the hairband wrapped around her wrist was tightened even more.

In the evening of the same day, Shen Yao also received a bad news—his master and another senior brother had been working hard in recent days and finally arrived at Yingtian Mansion.

When Master entered the city, the sun was thick, the sky was cloudless, and the sky was as blue as blue.It's just that there is a female corpse hanging on the tower of Yingtian Mansion. It seems that it has been exposed to the wind, rain and sun for many days, and the outline of the face has long been unclear.The notice board under the city wall reads: Yun Tang, twenty years old, extremely stupid and vicious, killed countless people, violated the heaven and wronged the country, there is a way to avoid justice...

Master didn't dare to look at it too much.He brought some special products from Qingguan Town and a big bag of panacea to visit Duan Yongxuan.The guard told him that the Patriarch of the Duan family had gone out and hadn't returned, so he stood outside the door and waited until evening, when he was finally allowed to enter.

When he walked into the pharmacy of the official residence, he saw Shen Yao, Wei Lingfeng, and Xu Xingxiu, the three precious apprentices lying on the ground like corpses, tears flowed from his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: " What, what... you want to hang my three miserable apprentices on the city wall?"

Zhao Bangjie was stunned: "Hanging on the city wall?"

Shen Yao heard Master's voice and hurriedly sat up.Xu Xingxiu had just woken up, Wei Lingfeng's clothes were disheveled, the three of them worked hard for several days, and managed to get back to sleep, the expressions on their faces were somewhat perplexed and perplexed.

Wei Lingfeng spoke first: "Master."

His master saw Wei Lingfeng's hand hanging in his sleeve, he was silent for a while, and then said: "You have suffered."

Wei Lingfeng said: "It is the disciple's fault to worry the master."

Shen Yao tightened his clothes, caught a glimpse of the senior brother who was with his master, felt like he hadn't seen him for a long time, and immediately shouted: "Senior Brother Ninth!"

Brother Ninth's name is Qian Xingzhi. He looks talented and handsome, but in fact he is often teased as a "ghost in sex".Brother Nine often said on weekdays: "Die under the peony flower, even if you are a ghost, you will be romantic." He is best at treating infertility and various diseases.

Shen Yao felt that Brother Ninth would definitely be able to call Chu Kairong brothers and sisters.After all, whoever takes Brother Jiu to drink flower wine is the true friend of Brother Jiu.

Even if the sky is falling, Brother Jiu will not panic.However, when he saw the miserable appearance of Wei Lingfeng and Shen Yao, his tone was full of surprise: "Which turtle messed you up?"

Shen Yao frowned: "Senior Brother Jiu, I don't hear you right when you say that."

Master has already sat on the ground.He took Wei Lingfeng's pulse and watched for half an hour, which was not a good omen.The more serious the disease, the longer it will take. This is Master's consistent practice of medicine.

Shen Yao was very worried, but he couldn't help.Putting his medical skills in front of his master, his medical skills are simply not even mentioned.He sat restlessly for a while, stood for a while, until Senior Brother Jiu came over and called him: "Hello, Junior Brother?"

Shen Yao said: "What?"

Brother Ninth saw Liu Qingqing, an acquaintance in Qingguan Town—Liu Qingqing ignored him, avoiding him like a snake.Brother Ninth could only catch Shen Yao and ask, "How did Wei Lingfeng become a remnant of the Demon Sect? How could he be a villain? You and I are more villains than him, right? You are greedy for money, and I am lustful." .”

Shen Yao was amused: "Senior brother Jiu, why did the master only bring you here?"

Brother Jiu didn't have any scruples at all, and said frankly: "It's not because we are too poor. All the expenses together can only buy two horses and let two people go on the road. Hualou."

Shen Yao was startled: "Does Huanhualou not need money?"

Brother Ninth put his sleeves in his hands, with no shame on his face: "I ran to set up a stall in front of the flower building, specializing in the treatment of willow diseases. Before I set off, I brought a lot of medicine. Not only did I not lose money on this trip, but I also made a lot of money for nothing. .”

He dug out a handful of broken silver from his pocket and handed it to Shen Yao: "Here, Senior Brother Ninth gave it to you."

Holding the broken silver, Shen Yao felt that the silver was heavy.Brother Jiu also said: "You are so miserable, you have lost a lot of weight."

Shen Yao smiled and said, "It's better to be thinner. Eat less and save money."

"What are you saving? Master doesn't even know that I set up a stall at the gate of Hualou," Senior Brother Jiu secretly talked to Shen Yao, "I just realized that money is so easy to earn. Those old ghosts who love to whoring, there are five or six out of ten. Sick. I was hiding from the madam to prevent her from chasing me, but the madam welcomes me into the building to see a doctor for a group of girls who are receiving guests from her house."

Shen Yao asked casually, "Does Brother Jiu not like whoring?"

"Senior brother will teach you how to speak. I don't call it prostitution," Senior Brother Jiu said in a serious tone, "This is my name. There are flowers that can be broken without breaking the branches."

Shen Yao admired him very much: "Senior Brother Ninth has a brilliant literary talent, he is really a literary hero in the world."

Ninth senior brother was very helpful, so he lowered his head, put his head together with Shen Yao's, made a soft voice, and asked quietly: "My pity, little junior brother, you and senior senior brother are still young, right? "

Shen Yao's whole body trembled: "Brother and I almost died, how can we have the energy to think about anything else."

Senior Brother Jiu looked into the distance and comforted him, "It's also joy to have fun in the midst of suffering."

Shen Yao fell silent.He squatted next to the master, watched the master's exquisite acupuncture, and heard the master say: "Oh, even if your hand is cured, it will not be as good as before."

Wei Lingfeng said: "I know. I still have another hand."

Master said: "Did you tell the martial arts leader that you have never stepped out of Qingguan Town since you were seven years old?"

Wei Lingfeng put his four fingers together, opened them again, and replied slowly: "I have never seen the leader of the martial arts league."

"How could it be?" Master asked scoldingly, "I wrote several letters to the Patriarch of the Duan family and the owner of the No. [-] villa in the world."

Wei Lingfeng took off his coat, and had a row of silver needles pierced on his arm. The master handed two bottles of pills to Shen Yao, and ordered: "Take two taels of rice wine, and take it with medicine, twice a day, for three days. "

Shen Yao nodded again and again: "Is it the elder brother's medicine? I know!"

But the master said: "Here. Are you full of abdominal distension and sweating spontaneously lately? Alas, you are obviously a doctor, but you still don't take care of yourself. You are twenty years old, but you want Master to teach you. You are worried about your senior brother. You should also take care of yourself, your senior brother is seriously ill, how can he take care of you all the time?"

In Shen Yao's clothes pocket was the broken silver given by Senior Brother Nine.He put the medicine bottle into his pocket carefully, and respectfully said: "Thank you, Master." Then he said: "I thought that Master would..."

Before he finished speaking, the master became angry: "You child, you only grow old, but not wise. You are all apprentices taught by me. To say that you are evil, isn't it humiliating my family? Our alchemy school stands on its own , have you ever been so angry?"

Wei Lingfeng took a pill and said, "Master, don't get angry, there is still a turning point."

Master nodded and asked again: "Did the Duan family treat you badly?"

Wei Lingfeng thought of Duan Yongxuan, and replied with mixed feelings: "Never."

Shen Yao explained in more detail: "The past few days have been very good. We have food, clothing, and a place to sleep. The pharmacy is very clean. There are no bugs or rats. I am thankful. The bathhouse is in another yard. Brother Xu and I We went to take a shower together yesterday."

Wei Lingfeng turned to look at him, his eyes were burning, his face became hot and he felt embarrassed, he honestly described: "It was a bathhouse for many people. The guards all took a bath together, the water was very hot, and the fog was very foggy." Big, I can't tell who is who at all."

The master was thoughtful: "Where is the well? You go fetch some water, the medicinal materials I brought have to be soaked."

Shen Yao said: "Go now." He held Wei Lingfeng's palm and pressed it: "Brother, wait for me, come back right away." Bundles of dried medicinal herbs.The strong aroma of herbs made Zhao Bangjie sneezed. Zhao Bangjie was still recovering from his illness. He just drank a bowl of medicinal soup and started to feel sleepy.

The sky was gloomy, gray and dark outside the window, and a layer of pale white mist formed.

There seemed to be a carriage passing by outside the yard, the wheels were grinding the ground, and the wheels were rattling.Wei Lingfeng's arms were sore and numb, he couldn't move, and he couldn't even turn around to look out the window at night.He straightened one leg, bent it again, and then straightened it again, when suddenly he heard the master say to him: "I'm going outside to pack up the medicinal materials. The smell of the medicinal materials is too pungent. I will accompany you if you have something to do, and tell him to serve tea." Water, that's what he should do."

Wei Lingfeng looked at Qian Xingzhi, and said, "Your brother Jiu is here."

After the master went out, Qian Xingzhi spoke to Wei Lingfeng: "Senior brother, it's so miserable. You're still a baby at this point, right? Everyone in the world scolds you for being a member of the Devil's Cult, so they don't know how clean you are. "

Wei Lingfeng scanned the room, and answered the wrong question: "Where is Xu Xingxiu?"

Qian Xingzhi said: "I am in a hurry to go to the latrine."

The fog outside the window was thicker, and it was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.The incense burner is burning in the room, the incense burner is made of purple jade unicorn, the fragrance is light and elegant, the master also checked it just now, this spice is known to have the effect of calming the nerves, so Di An, Zhao Bangjie, and Liu Qingqing all slept on the ground.Wei Lingfeng's fingers trembled, feeling bad.He tore off his clothes, ignoring the silver needle on his arm, he would rather completely abolish this hand than crawl out.

He was one step too late.

He heard a loud bang, the barrel hit the ground, and the well water spilled all over the ground, washing away a piece of blood.

The white mist gradually dissipated, and Wei Lingfeng saw Shen Yao kneeling on the ground, his trousers were covered with dizzy blood.Shen Yao opened his mouth to call "Master", but couldn't make a sound.He couldn't even cry, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he raised it outwards, as if he was laughing.At first it was a smirk, and then he cried and laughed. Finally, all his strength was drained, and he knelt down beside the master's body.

Master's neck was cut off with a knife, and his head was in a different place.His white hair and plain clothes were covered with blood, and he was holding a handful of herbal medicine for snake poison in his hand.

Wei Lingfeng's chest vibrated, his face was ashen, and he was about to vomit blood.Qian Xingzhi also forgot the master's entrustment to "take good care of the elder brother".His legs seemed to be tense, and they were too heavy to lift. After taking two steps, he said, "You saw..."

The courtyard was silent.

After a long time, the night wind blew hot blood and cooled the blood thoroughly.

Shen Yao said: "I saw Bai Ying." He spoke very softly, with an indescribable weirdness: "Brother, don't worry, I will take revenge."

Present a lunch box for Master Shen Yao【Heartache

☆, golden cicada shelling

In recent days, the drizzle has been continuous, usually raining in the early morning, clearing up in the afternoon, and flooding everywhere at night.

According to the rules of the alchemy school, the head of the sect should be buried seven days after the coffin rests.However, because it was a rainy season in the area, and the plague was still in Anjiang City, the government issued an official document: the coffin should be suspended for at most three days, and the corpse must be cremated after three days.

Xu Xingxiu said: "That's the only way. Let's follow the government's official document first."

After Master passed away, Xu Xingxiu sat in meditation for half a day.When he came out of the room, it was as if nothing had happened.He can also run back and forth to see a doctor.Duan Yongxuan said to him: "My condolences go with the changes", he actually bent down and bowed back to salute.Therefore, Duan Yongxuan didn't go to see Shen Yao and the others on purpose, but directly talked to Xu Xingxiu in detail, and then asked him to go back and spread the word.

There was a northerly wind that day, and the night was extremely cold.

The coffin was parked on the side of a side house.Shen Yao built a mourning hall with white cloth and lit two candles.He watched the candlelight without saying a word, and the light of the fire reflected the sky and the earth like one color.

Qian Xingzhi found Shen Yao and handed him a piece of biscuits: "This afternoon, the groom and I went out of the city to find a cemetery. The geomantic omen is good. There are flowers and plants, mountains and rivers nearby. I want to lie there. The groom will come over tomorrow morning. coffin……"

Shen Yao finally said, "Take it out of the city, cremate first, and then bury it?"

Qian Xingzhi gathered his sleeves and lay down on the ground slowly: "Otherwise? We are not high-ranking officials and nobles, so we can only follow the common people's way. Wei Lingfeng is still infamous, we should be careful in what we do, in case someone with a heart makes a fuss .”

Shen Yao asked again: "What did Duan Yongxuan say?"

Qian Xingzhi said: "I heard Senior Brother Xu say that Patriarch Duan was furious. Killing people in an official house is to make the government look bad, to provoke the martial arts family, and to set off a bloody storm in the Jianghu."

Shen Yao laughed "giggle".

Qian Xingzhi turned his head to look at Shen Yao, only to see Shen Yao trembling all over, with a sullen smile on his face.The night wind just blew out a candle. In the shade of the damp and cold house, a huge coffin stood against the wall, but Qian Xingzhi didn't feel scared.He said intermittently: "Master passed away. I was devastated at first. In the past two days, I also thought a lot. Life and death are fate. Master's death is not to blame for you, nor for Senior Brother Xu... let alone Senior Brother, I only blame the murderer for being insane. Junior brother, can you really avenge your master without eating or drinking these few days? You should learn from Senior Brother Xu, how he endured humiliation."

Shen Yao said, "It's useless to learn."

Qian Xingzhi clenched his fists towards the coffin, and became serious in a rare way: "Master taught us to have both virtue and capacity."

Shen Yao slapped the wood of the coffin hard, but his voice was very soft: "You see, this is the end of having both virtue and capacity. Love your disciples like your life, keep your hands clean, don't be greedy for ill-gotten gains, and don't accept meritless rewards. In the end, his neck was cut off, and his death was unclear. The master always said that Duan Yongxuan was his old friend. After the master died, Duan Yongxuan didn't even pay a visit to him. How many people in the world care about this matter? Just you and me How long will it take to find out the real culprit? Not to mention avenging Master."

Qian Xingzhi's face turned pale: "Then tell me, what should we do?"

Shen Yao said: "We need to escape from Duan's house first, catch up with Duan Wuhen and Chu Kairong, and exchange for a life-saving talisman."

Qian Xingzhi asked back: "Are you... taking advantage of others?"

Shen Yao was calm: "How can it be considered as taking advantage? I didn't harm anyone. Brother Ninth was a little surprised."

Qian Xingzhi thought about it carefully, and then said: "Tomorrow morning, the master's body will be transported out of the city by the groom. Xu Xingxiu told me that tomorrow morning, the martial arts leader will also send people. They will send Wei Lingfeng , Liu Qingqing, Zhao Bangjie and you, take the four of you to the Liuguang faction."

As soon as Shen Yao heard about the "Liuguang faction", he immediately stood up: "The martial arts family and the eight major sects have always been at odds. My senior brother and I were brought back by Duan Yongxuan, why do we want to return to the Liuguang faction?"

Qian Xingzhi sat on the ground and looked up at him: "Because the martial arts leader visited the Jialan faction some time ago, and went to Qinling, and now he finally found time to organize the martial arts conference. People from all walks of life gathered in Yingtian Mansion No matter what you say, Tan Baiqing is the leader of the Eight Great Sects, and everyone thinks it's fair for him to take Wei Lingfeng into custody."

Shen Yao asked again: "What about the whereabouts of the demon girl? Does no one know?"

Qian Xingzhi pointed to the sky: "Didn't that girl be hung on the city wall and exposed to the sun for several days? Now, I think she has lost all her skin. Sigh, you say it's ridiculous, she's a demon girl, and she can't stand it." To keep the whole corpse for seven or eight days, our master is such an upright gentleman, but he can only stay in the coffin for two days after death."

"It's really reincarnation," Shen Yao muttered to himself, "When I was in Anjiang City, I persuaded people to be cremated every day. Now it's my turn."

Qian Xingzhi didn't hear what Shen Yao was saying, thinking that he was still thinking about the martial arts conference.Both Qian Xingzhi and Shen Yao were wearing filial piety clothes, and the clothes made of rough linen were airy and airy, so they were not very good at resisting the cold.Qian Xingzhi lay on the ground for a while, and started to sneeze unconsciously. He sneezed several times in a row, and he became irritable: "Tonight is the last chance for you and senior brother to escape. Tomorrow morning, Liu Guang will send you to pick you up." , Escort you to meet the masters of the various sects, even if you are a fly, it is impossible to fly away."

Shen Yao half-kneeled on the ground, took a bite of the biscuit in his hand: "Where is senior brother?"

"In the pharmacy," Qian Xingzhi said, "he has bad legs and needs crutches to walk."

Shen Yao is not much better than Wei Lingfeng at this time.Because he knelt down for a long time, and when he stood up and walked again, he had to support the wall.He walked up the steps slowly and pushed open the main door of the pharmacy, only to find that there was no light in the house.The flames in the furnace were extinguished, leaving a pool of ashes, and the scent of medicine blended into the night lightly. He took a breath, and his eyes fell on the empty blanket.

The biscuits fell to the ground, but Shen Yao picked them up again.There was a layer of dirt on the edge of the biscuit, he didn't care, and ate it deliciously, as if he was eating the last full meal of the death row prisoner.

Qian Xingzhi followed behind him and said blankly, "Everyone is gone?"

Shen Yao said: "It's normal. Tomorrow, the Liuguang faction will bring someone to pick him up. We have to throw Wei Lingfeng into the cell first, so that he can look good."

Qian Xingzhi asked again: "Then why should Duan Yongxuan entertain you during this time?"

"Duan Yongxuan also wants to get the "Lingsu Heart Method", "Shen Yao explained, "or something else. The senior brother said that Duan Wuhen has practiced Zhaowu Eighteen Forms. This is the kung fu of the Demon Sect. Duan Wuhen How did you learn it? It must be because his father’s upper beam is not straight, and the lower beam is crooked.”

Qian Xingzhi walked forward with Shen Yao, and the two walked through the dark corridor all the way.Qian Xingzhi said with emotion: "Oh, I understand. Duan Yongxuan has collected several martial arts secret books of the Demon Sect."

Halfway there, they saw two guards with swords in the distance, and Shen Yao immediately went over to talk to them: "Excuse me, do you know where the rooms of Zhao Bangjie and Di An are? I have some medicines here, and I have to bring them to them." .Zhao Bangjie was seriously injured in the Liuguang faction, and needs to be recuperated in the past few days. I..."

Unexpectedly, the guard nodded to them and led them directly.

Qian Xingzhi thought that the matter was half done, but unexpectedly the guards brought them to the butler's door.The housekeeper is about forty years old, with a thin figure, wearing a silk and satin coat, and there is a young maid standing on each side of his left and right hands.The maids have red sleeves to add fragrance, and the fragrance is fragrant. The waist is tied with a ribbon, and the handkerchiefs tied around the waist are all the best peach blossom Sichuan brocade.

Ever since he entered the door, Qian Xingzhi never took his eyes off the maid.Shen Yao hated that iron could not be made into steel, and he had no way of disciplining Senior Brother Ninth, so he could only describe the illnesses of Zhao Bangjie, Di An and others to the housekeeper.The housekeeper smiled slightly, but said: "Young master of the Duan family, Zhao Bangjie, Di An and others are all under the care of Dr. Xu. Patriarch Duan is very relieved. Dr. Shen doesn't need to worry about it."

Shen Yao just asked: "Xu Xingxiu? Doctor Xu?"

The butler picked up a cup of tea and handed it to the maid.The servant girl took the teacup, first blew away the heat, then bent down, slightly leaned over the rim of the cup, and fed the tea to the butler's mouth.

Just as Shen Yao was about to speak, the butler issued an order to evict the guests: "If there is nothing wrong, you two should go back first." His expression was extremely arrogant, just like the emperor retreating from court.

Shen Yao nodded in agreement.He walked down the steps and out of the yard without looking back once on the way.He has long legs and fast steps, Qian Xingzhi took a few steps to catch up.

Shen Yao smiled and said to him: "Look at our Senior Brother Xu, we have a bright future, these two days to avoid taboo, we didn't even wear filial piety clothes, and now we are appreciated by Patriarch Duan. I really admire him."

Qian Xingzhi looked back at Shen Yao's smile, which was obviously pretty, but he felt a little nervous.

In the dark night, Xi Wei's light was shining obliquely, Shen Yao's face was calm and calm, and he stood up on his own with his sleeves up, obviously he had his own set of rules in his heart, and he was planning before moving.Qian Xingzhi couldn't help but secretly admired his junior brother, admired him for being young and promising, and for being able to keep a clear head in a sudden disaster.However, the moment after this idea came up, Shen Yao suddenly rushed into the aisle of the North Wing Room - that was the restricted area of ​​the official residence.

Just as Qian Xingzhi was about to follow, the patrolling guards came over.he can do nothing
