Chapter 21 Pine Forest Dwelling

"Who passed on the book?" Shao Heng asked when he saw Shen Yuanxi's eyebrows stretched, but there was a slight sharpness in his eyes.

Shen Yuanxi flicked the jade slip a little carelessly, and then threw it to Shao Heng and replied, "Apprentice Jiang Shi." ”

Speaking of which, Jiang Shi is actually quite like his name, although he looks a little out of the woods, but his temperament is as stubborn as a stone. After Shao Heng's accident, he insisted on not believing Shao Heng's charges, and his words were quite extreme, which made his life in the outer gate quite difficult, and he was even injured by someone in the middle of participating in the outer door examination. Among the outer gates, Jiang Shi didn't have many friends, and most of them retreated after the accident, and only one senior brother, Jin Tianyu, was still friendly with him. Even if Qinglan Zhenren knew Jiang Shi's origin, he couldn't take care of his daily life, and he could only be silent most of the time.

That Jin Tianyu said that he had a close relationship with the first son of the Shen family, and after Shen Yuanxi re-established contact with his own clan in order to strengthen his own power. Jiang Shi was stubborn and refused to fall into the slightest, causing a lot of trouble, but he still held on after the injury, which led to the deterioration of the injury. Jin Tianyu couldn't do it, so he promised Shen's cousin a lot of benefits, and asked him to try to pass on Shen Yuanxi.

The cousin of the Shen family thought that with Shen Yuanxi's attitude towards the Shen family, he would not pay attention to this matter the size of a sesame mung bean at all, but he didn't expect that Shen Yuanxi, who was busy with affairs at that time, really inquired about the matter in person. It was inconvenient for him to go directly to the outer gate, so he sent a Taoist boy who had been following and serving him to bring Jiang Shi medicine and a few words.

Later, Jiang Shi won the quota after participating in the outer door competition for the second time, and was directly accepted by Shen Yuanxi and became the first personal disciple of the "X" generation. And Jiang Shi's stubbornness is also related to this.

It is said that Shen Yuanxi's status is the first person in the "Yong" generation, and he is also the head of the family, and he also carried Jiang Shi in the predicament, Jiang Shi should be overjoyed and grateful.

However, in the Cunzhen Palace, in front of everyone, Jiang Shi seemed to be a little reluctant to apprentice to Shen Yuanxi. In private, Shen Yuanxi knew that this kid had always wanted to worship Shao Heng as a teacher, and he was quite interesting and helpless in his heart.

Therefore, in front of Shao Heng, he deliberately emphasized the word "apprentice", and he also had a bit of fun in mind.

Shao Heng naturally couldn't understand this, he pasted the jade slip on his forehead, and after reading the information, he said, "It turns out ...... It is indeed gratifying to congratulate Master Qingning for his successful exit, and it should be officially informed to all factions and invite colleagues to celebrate...... Just ......"

"Just what?" asked Shen Yuanxi with a smile.

Shao Heng's eyes gradually sank: "Whether it is assigning disciples to spread the word, or arranging a banquet to congratulate Master Qingning, this is not like something that cannot be done without my brother." ”

"That's a good point. Shen Yuanxi smiled and walked into the pine forest guest house.

Shao Heng was puzzled and asked, "Why is my brother laughing?"

Shen Yuanxi sat on the stone bench casually, took the jade slip and said, "Jiang Shi is not a half-grown child, if he really has something urgent to ask me to go back, he will never gossip so much." Uncle Qingning's exit from the customs has been a matter of the past few days, so why does he need to mention this mouth? When I came out, I deliberately showed some traces, and some people couldn't wait to deal with me. After that, Yumei was seriously injured, so I hid my trace. Come to think of it, someone is probably anxious, and wants to use Jiang Shi and my master-apprentice relationship to lure me back to the mountain earlier, but Jiang Shi, the kid, also guessed something, so he deliberately wrote so. ”

"As for me laughing, I'm naturally happy. Shen Yuanxi's index finger and middle finger were slightly forced, and the jade slip "clicked" and turned into a little powder, which dispersed with the wind. The expression on his face was calm and light, but his eyes were cold: "Do too much wrong, they can't bear it, so they have a chance to pull out their fox tail." ”

When Shao Heng heard this, his mood suddenly became heavy.

Although his family was ruined and he was put into the Cunwei Mountain, those times in the sect, even those fierce rivalries between the same sects, are now like the rainbow bridge exposed by the rain on the horizon, colorful and nostalgic.

Master Qingyan and his short-lived friendship with his mentor and apprentice had a profound impact on him. It is the master's ability to remain calm and unchanged no matter what the situation, which gives Shao Heng the strength to continue to endure and wait for a counterattack in the face of difficulties.

"What is my brother going to do?"

Shen Yuanxi dusted off the dust from his fingertips and said: "I have used it to transfer the tiger from the mountain, and now it is time to plan and lure the snake out of the hole." ”

Suddenly, Shen Yuanxi's tone softened: "Brother Xian shouldn't know that about you and Uncle Qingyan, my master and Uncle Qingning have argued several times. Uncle Qingning is actually quite strong, and he has given a few uncles we suspect in public no face, and he has also confronted Uncle Tai Lawyer several times in person. My master is a person who speaks little, and without complete certainty and full evidence, he will not act rashly. But they also have their own concerns, and the rest of the uncles such as Qingyang and others also have their own clues to investigate in private...... Don't blame them. ”

"I won't complain, it's just ......" Shao Heng shook his head and laughed at himself: "If I die outside, or do nothing, I'm afraid that except for you and Beidou, the division commanders will probably say sorry in private, and they won't pursue it any further." ”

Shen Yuanxi clenched his fists slightly, thinking that even if Qingning, Qingjing and Uncle Qingyan had a good relationship, if Shao Heng really had no news of it, and he couldn't find out the real culprit, coupled with the silence of Taihao Zhenren for some reason, he might really let everything be buried.

But he remembered what Uncle Qingning had said to him before the retreat, as well as the words and deeds of the master, and his eyes changed from gloomy to firm: "No, it will never be like this." Senior brother, you don't know how much Uncle Qingning and my master have repeatedly plotted over the years, and even deliberately expressed their intention to compete with each other in front of others, including this retreat of Master Qingning, all of which have their little by little foreshadowing, in order to make people in the shadows think that there is an opportunity. This time, it is the right time for me. ”

Shen Yuanxi paused, his eyes lit up: "First get the news of your safety, and then get the letter from Ciyun Zhai, as long as you and I plan deeply, we will be able to pull out the tumor of the sect, and An Qingyan's uncle Jiuquan's spirit." ”

Shao Heng nodded slightly in his heart, and then suddenly thought of something, and said with a serious expression: "Brother, Jiang Shi's letter from this kid seems to be asking you to go back early, but it should be to warn you that there is danger on your return journey." However, we are on the road together, and we expect to be fine, but we should also leave quickly and rush back to Cunwei Mountain as soon as possible. ”

"I was thinking that maybe I was the ultimate target. Shen Yuanxi laughed at himself.

Shao Heng's expression was cold, and his eyebrows rose with a little anger.

"However, if you and I go together, how can we show weakness to the enemy? How can we lure the snake out of the hole? Shen Yuanxi said in a relaxed tone, as if the layers of killing in this return journey were not worth mentioning at all.

Shao Heng shook his head lightly at first, and then realized the plan that Shen Yuanxi had revealed in his words, and said categorically: "This is absolutely not good!"

The road is dangerous, and since the other party's target is Shen Yuanxi, it is naturally a matter of traps and life and death.

No matter how much Shao Heng believes in Shen Yuanxi's ability, it is impossible for him to put his brother in danger.

Who knew that Shen Yuanxi knew what Shao Heng was going to say, so he pressed his shoulder and said, "This is the plan I made with my master, and it will not be changed." Brother, this is not just to wash away your grievances. ”

His eyebrows and eyes were cold, and his momentum was like a mountain, indicating Shen Yuanxi's intention to sacrifice his life and not let go of this opportunity.

Shao Heng looked at the quiet and resolute Shen Yuanxi, as if he was captured by his momentum, and he couldn't say anything to refute.

"Even so, it doesn't work. I don't know when, Xiao Yu woke up and stood in the courtyard.

Her breath was still a little unstable, and Shao Heng hurriedly took her hand and sat down together.

"What my brother planned before, I didn't expect to be able to reunite with Shao Heng so soon, right? Xiao Yu had been listening to it before, and he knew what Shao Heng was worried about. But she also knew that the decision made by Shen Yuanxi was not something that she could easily loosen up with a few words, so she could only start from other aspects and delay the army.

Shao Heng had calmed down, and when he heard Xiao Yu's words, his heart was relieved, and he had some eyebrows in an instant, and immediately said aloud: "Yu'er is right! Brother, I know that you don't want me to act from the sidelines because you are worried about arousing the other party's vigilance." However, it can be replaced by someone else. ”

Shao Heng said this, his eyes looked around.

Today's weather is getting warmer, the sun is very good, and there are even some young animals shuttling in the ice and snow meadows, showing a peaceful appearance.

Shen Yuanxi followed his gaze, understood what Shao Heng meant, and sighed slightly.

Ciyun Zhai originally lived quietly in seclusion, but the turmoil in the world suddenly arose, and it couldn't escape after all, not to mention that it was already in the game.

Shen Yuanxi no longer refuted and agreed to Shao Heng's proposal.
