Chapter 5: Undercurrents

The swordsman rode on a bamboo raft until he floated out of the boundary of Bishui Pass.

There is a red dress with a treacherous style, a few jumps, to the bamboo raft, carrying a pot of wine, the end is dashing, charming eyes like silk.

"The surname is Chu, you owe me ten thousand taels of gold. The swordsman didn't raise his head, held the bamboo pole and fished, and said to the man in red behind him.

"Listen, is this what the disciples of the Northern Dao Tongyun Sea Immortal Sect said?" Chu Yang smiled and wanted to repay the debt, dressed in red clothes and dancing with the river breeze, carrying the wine jug, took a sip of wine, and smacked his lips, "Good wine, good wine!"

"Why, you want to turn your face and deny people?" said the swordsman.

"Alas, I said Zhao Xin, how about you are also the chief disciple of the Seven Peaks of the Immortal Gate, and you can also see it with a mere ten thousand taels of gold?" Chu Yang squatted behind Zhao Xin, one arm resting on the swordsman's back, still with a cheap smile on his face.

The swordsman glanced at the man in red, sneered, and said, "You kid can also be regarded as the face of the Jixia School Palace, Chen Shouren has to call you the third uncle when he sees you." Why, you can't get your hands on a few thousand taels of gold?"

After that, the swordsman glanced at the saber on Chu Yang's waist and said, "If you don't have any money, mortgage your saber to me! This Longyuan sword can barely be worth ten thousand taels of gold." ”

"Why don't you grab it!" Chu Yang almost didn't bare out of his eyes when he heard this, "My Long Yuan used to be the master's sword! Not to mention ten thousand taels of gold, even ten million taels of gold, that can't be bought!"

"I'm doing serious business, so why should I rob it?" snorted the swordsman.

"I owe you!" the corners of Chu Yang's mouth twitched, "I owe you a favor." I knew that you were serious about making a bid with me, so I might as well kill the old witch myself. ”

"Just you?" the swordsman was very disdainful, "With your ability, can you be as chic and crisp as me, and cut that old woman with a sword?"

"What, you want to fight?" Chu Yang heard this, and directly blew his hair.

"Huh. The swordsman smiled and ignored the man in red.

"Speaking of which, I'm not good at making a move. Chu Yang said to himself, "This is a contest between Shouren and Confucian Sword, if I help, it will inevitably be criticized." ”

"Do you think Chen Shouren can win Song Zhiwen?" the swordsman asked him.

"Can you win, it's none of my business?" Chu Yang snorted, "He's a little tender." Song Jun was about to face a catastrophe, but he couldn't hold his breath. It is indeed a shortage of grain and grass, and there are signs of plague. But after all, this is the last threshold for Zheng Du, as long as Shouren asks for help from the prince, can he still refuse?"

"I think this sentence is barely reasonable. The swordsman laughed, "It's young, after all." The same set of seventy years ago has long passed, and these two people are so interesting that they dare to meet in front of the battle. In today's Seven Great Powers, where is there still a talk of righteous war?"

"Hehe, just reluctantly?" Chu Yang's eyebrows fluttered, "Lao Zhao, which side are you more optimistic about?"

The swordsman glanced at him and snorted, "What's the matter with me?"

The fishing rod moved, the swordsman's wrist flicked, and a water carp was directly dragged out of the water by him and carried to the bamboo raft.

"The matter of the old woman, the employer behind it, do you want to check it?" The swordsman pressed the lively carp on the bamboo raft and glanced at Chu Yang.

"You think I'm idle?" Chu Yang asked rhetorically.

"That's just right. The swordsman threw the carp to Chu Yang, put the fishing rod at his feet, dragged the wine jug in his hand, poured a sip of wine, and said, "Clean up the fish, half boil the soup, and half braise it." ”

Chu Yang hugged the carp and was dumbfounded.

"The surname is Zhao, don't go too far!" Chu Yang said angrily, "Anyway, I am also a bachelor of the Jixia Academy, you dare to make me do such a mundane thing......?

"Do you want to do it?" The swordsman stood up and made a gesture to kick Chu Yang's ass, "Don't do Lao Tzu kick you down!"

“...... I'll do it!" Chu Yang gritted his teeth, "Make this fish, let's even!"

"You want to be beautiful. The swordsman snorted, "A fish is worth ten thousand taels of gold?"

The bamboo raft went away with the water, and the two were still chattering, so they almost rolled up their sleeves and fought.

But in the end, the two still couldn't fight.

......

It's night, the north, the sea of clouds and immortals.

On the Guilty Peak, Zhuang Yan wore a Taoist robe, and came to the Sword Hall alone.

The affairs of the main immortal gate of the Guilty Peak are divided into two dimensions: internal and external, corresponding to the Law Enforcement Hall and the Sword Enforcement Hall respectively.

The affairs of the disciples of this sect are handled by the Law Enforcement Hall.

The affairs outside the door are docked by the Zhijian Hall.

Xue Xing, the hall master of the Sword Holding Hall, rarely returned to the mountain gate, but at this time, Lu Shen, the hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall, left the Xianmen three days ago with Lin Xiao, who was sitting on the Forgotten Peak, and did not know where to go.

"Uncle Zhuang. When the people of the Sword Hall saw Zhuang Yan, they saluted one after another.

"Hmm. Zhuang Yan asked, "Is Senior Brother Xue here?"

"The hall master is inside!" the person from the Sword Hall hurriedly replied.

Zhuang Yan nodded and walked into the main hall of the Sword Holding Hall.

The Sword Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall stand on different hills from the Crime Determination Peak, the Law Enforcement Hall is ancient and atmospheric, but the Sword Hall is iron-blooded and hard.

Zhuang Yan walked into the Sword Holding Hall, and in the main hall, Xue Xing, the master of the Sword Holding Hall, was sitting on the Sword Throne, dressed in black, with a gloomy face, one hand supporting his chin, looking at Zhuang Yan, as if he had been waiting here, his voice was low, and he said, "Senior Sister Zhuang, are you here?"

"Senior brother. Zhuang Yan saluted, then got up and said, "There is a letter, Lu Shen asked me to pass it on to you." ”

"Hmm. Xue Xing nodded.

Zhuang Yan took out the letter from her arms, stretched out her plain hand, and flicked it gently, the letter paper seemed to have wings, and flew straight into Xue Xing's hand.

Xue Xing grabbed the letter with his hand, his eyes swept away, he looked at the content of the letter, closed the letter, looked at Zhuang Yan, and asked, "Is Senior Brother Zhao Xin clear about the movements of the Blood Shadow Building?"

"Senior Brother only said that the Blood Shadow Building was going to do something to those four junior disciples, as for the specific situation, he didn't explain. Zhuang Yan said, pausing, "Senior Brother is now heading south, accompaniing Chu Yang of Jixia School Palace, saying that he is going to the South China Sea. If the Blood Shadow Building wants to make a move, it must be an assassination around the Immortal Gate. Since the senior brother did not plan to return to the Immortal Gate now, he did not plan to interfere in this matter. ”

"Got it. Xue Xing looked at Zhuang Yan with a gloomy expression, not knowing what he was thinking, "Hmph, I will deal with this matter thoroughly." Since the Blood Shadow Building wants to attack the four sons of Xianmen, then it will not hinder it, and I will directly chop off their claws. ”

"Then there's Senior Brother Lao Xue. Zhuang Yan saluted and retired.

Xue Xing looked at Zhuang Yan's back, without saying a word, his eyebrows were hidden in the shadows of the main hall, which was unpredictable.

Until Zhuang Yan was about to leave the main hall, Xue Xing suddenly bent his fingers and lightly buckled on the sword throne.

Zhuang Yan subconsciously turned around, and the red lotus mark on her eyebrows was bewitching in the dim candle flame of the main hall of the Sword Holding Hall.

Zhuang Yan looked at the man with an unknown expression on the Sword Throne, and her heart tightened slightly.

"Zhuang Yan. Xue Xing finally spoke, but it was Zhuang Yan's name.

Zhuang Yan heard the sound and didn't say anything.

Xue Xing stood up from the Sword Throne and walked down the steps, his gloomy eyes staring at the woman who looked like a demon motionlessly, and his tone was indifferent: "What Lu Shen can give you, I Xue Xing can also give it to you." Are you thinking of coming to my Sword Hall?"

Zhuang Yan was stunned.

Xue Xing continued: "How about giving you the position of the deputy hall master of the Sword Hall?"

Senior Brother Xue laughed. Zhuang Yan was just stunned for a moment, and immediately returned to normal, looked at Xue Xing, and smiled, "How can Zhuang Yan be able to afford the position of deputy hall master of the Sword Holding Hall?"

"I think you can. Xue Xing stopped and turned his back, "Remember what I said, when are you willing, the position of the deputy hall master of the Sword Hall is still yours." ”

Zhuang Yan was stunned, didn't speak, and only nodded.

She was about to go out, and Xue Xing asked softly, "She hasn't woken up yet?"

"Hmm. Zhuang Yan only listened to Xue Xing's tone, and knew that she in his mouth was Dong Xiaowan.

Xue Xing didn't speak again, Zhuang Yan stayed for a while, and finally went out.

She knows.

Lin Xiao came out of the mountain three days ago, and Lu Shen, who left Xianmen at the same time as the second senior brother. What these two people are going to do, perhaps only Zhuang Yan and the others know best.

In the battle of Thousand Caves City, Dong Xiaowan's three ghouls were hooked out by Shi Chaoyuan. Although Shi Chaoyuan died in Tiankeng later, after the collapse of the Three Ghoul Array, Dong Xiaowan's three corpses still failed to return to her body, and Chen Yang had no choice but to use Bagua Ding to continue to suppress Dong Xiaowan's three corpses.

Three days ago, Lin Xiao and Lu Shen came out of the mountain, just to go to the Qingying Sword Sect.

Because according to the intelligence of the Sword Holding Hall, Xiao Jing, the sect leader of the Blue Immortal Sword Sect, returned to the Green Immortal Sword Sect at the time of the decisive battle between the Yunhai Immortal Gate and the Thousand Cave City.

Immediately after, Xiao Jing's three ghouls broke away from the control of the three ghouls array, and chased Xiao Jing's breath and followed him back to the Qingying Sword Sect.

Now Lin Xiao and Lu Shen are going to give it a try on Xiao Jing to see if they can use external force to wipe out the three ghouls without harming the three ghouls themselves.

Dong Xiaowan has been in a coma for more than a month, and there is no sign of waking up. Uncle Yudiezi of Dream Butterfly Peak said that if the body does not wake up, the strength of the three ghouls will not be able to be contained, and it will only get stronger and stronger.

According to the Taoist classic "Shu Yilu", the three ghouls are the demons that parasitize on the upper, middle and lower dantian of the cultivators, corresponding to greed and hatred. Cultivating the Tao can behead three corpses by itself, so that you can be pure and thoughtless, and achieve positive results.

In other words, according to the classics, the three corpses can only behead themselves.

But now that Dong Xiaowan has not woken up for a long time, she can only go sideways with her sword to see if she can wipe out the three ghouls with external forces and save her body at the same time.

Zhuang Yan left the Sword Hall, flew directly with the qi, and returned to Zawang Peak.

The moon and stars are scarce, and the peak is shrouded in moonlight, as if draped in a light veil.

Recently, Bai Ze has been practicing in retreat in the Purple Bamboo Forest, and he basically went out to Tao Hongjing to learn sword casting.

Occasionally, Pei Guoguo couldn't hold it back, and pulled it hard, so that Bai Ze could be pulled out of the Forgotten Peak, and accompanied her to go shopping in Xianmenfang City, buy beautiful little skirts, and eat, drink and have fun by the way.

A month ago, Lin Xiao brought back the Transformation Grass from the underground sinkhole in Thousand Cave City, and Tao Hongjing had been busy collecting Heavenly Materials and Earth Treasures as auxiliary medicines, planning to refine the Transformation Pill and then give it to Rhubarb.

During this period, Chen Qing came once to find the fourth senior brother Chen Ping.

The years in the mountains are just drowning.
