People are born to yearn for light, but hate darkness, this is not a case of one person, but a common disease that everyone has, even animals are also general, so this is the nature of things!

"Bang bang! bang bang!" two soft sounds came from a dark shadow, and then a muffled snort followed, only to hear the voice hum: "Oh, where is this? What is this? Iron chain? Could it be that this is ...... here."

"This is the prison!" a majestic voice not far away replied, "You kid has been humming and chirping for two hours, and there is no end to it?"

The place was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers, and the voice before thought it was strange, so I asked, "Are you this hell pawn?"

"Hahahaha!" The man shook his hands a few times, and a crisp clatter sound came, only to hear him ask rhetorically, "Have you ever seen a jailer with iron locks and shackles?"

It turned out that Guichen was brought here by Xue Qingbi and imprisoned at the bottom of this heavenly prison where he couldn't see his fingers, but he didn't expect that there were other people here who were also imprisoned. Guichen snorted: "I can't see you again, how do I know if you are also wearing an iron lock?"

The man was not angry, but asked, "Boy, who are you, and why are you being imprisoned here? But rape and plunder, or murder and arson?"

Guichen smiled coldly and said, "I will return this sentence to you as it is!" The man was silent for a while, and finally reacted, and said with a smile: "I can't see it! It's actually a crepe kid! It's quite similar to him!"

Guichen Yun pulled the chain violently, but he didn't break it, but felt dull in his chest, and his heart was very strange, but he didn't stop in his mouth, and only said: "Listen to your voice slightly curly, with a thick accent, I'm afraid it's from the southwest, right?"

"Huh? You kid is pulling the iron chain? Don't waste your efforts, this iron chain is forged from a thousand years of cold iron, it is cold to the hand, and it is heavy and flexible, and you won't break it for half a year!" The man paused, and then asked strangely: "Listening to your official words, it is very authentic, and your voice is immature, I don't think you are very old in the future, but you can actually hear and recognize the sound, which shows that you are well-informed on weekdays, but I don't know why you were arrested here?"

Guichen was not in a hurry, and replied: "Listening to your strong voice, when you exhale, you are full of energy, I don't know why you were arrested here?"

"Hmph! You kid is really a pout!" The man was silent for a while, and just when Guichen thought that he would not speak again, the man said again: "My name is Xie Donglai, and I am from the southwest realm! Back then, my father named me Donglai, hoping that I could come east to make a contribution, but unfortunately I fell into this situation. ”

The iron chain rattled and rattled, but it was the dust tray that sat up, only to see him move in the dark, his hands folded, and then draw a circle and divide, separate the left and right knees, and said while exercising: "You and I have been talking for a long time, but I still haven't heard the slightest sound of breathing, and I want to come to Your Excellency to practice miraculous skills." Nowadays, the imperial court is controlled by the people of Nanfu, and those who have the slightest ability but cannot be used for it are all ostracized, so it is not surprising that you think about it here!"

The man suddenly burst out laughing, and after a while he stopped and said, "Hahahaha! I can't imagine that the Manchu Dynasty is not as good as you as a teenager who knows what it's like." This man may not have spoken to anyone for many years, but he couldn't stop when he opened his mouth, but he sighed and said: "Since the murder of Liang Guogong, I have been imprisoned here for eight years!

Guichen replied indifferently: "It turns out that you are Lan Yu's subordinate! After so many years, I thought his relatives were all dead!"

The man smiled and said, "Even if all the people in the world die, they won't be able to kill the old Duke of Liangguo!"

Returning to the dust for a week, the Taixu True Qi circulates the whole body, nourishes the meridians by itself, and dissolves the bruising of the injured place, and after a while, the injury is much better, but there is a slight sense of blockage when the exercise, thinking that the injury just now is quite serious, and it cannot be healed for a while, so I have to be patient for a while.

He smiled stunned and asked, "What do you mean by this? Isn't there anyone they can't kill?" That person may have not spoken to anyone for many years, and he couldn't stop when he opened his mouth, so he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Zhao!

Guichen said coldly: "With my martial arts, I am still imprisoned in the heavenly prison, then ......" He suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Are you talking about Feng Linyuan?" The man nodded and said with emotion: "Yes! The happiest thing in my life is that I followed him on the Northern Expedition and fought in Tongzhou, with dozens of people, we fought thousands of Mongolians without the power to fight back, making the Mongols throw a mouse bogey;

"I've heard my mother mention the battle in Tongzhou, but you still haven't been able to kill the woman in white, haven't you?" Guichen sneered, and said: "More than ten years have passed, and you still have nothing, so what blood can boil?

Xie Donglai nodded and said, "Yes, the person you are talking about is Wang Aya, a disciple of the evil god, we went to look for her many times back then, but we were all stopped by Feng Linyuan. When Guichen heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Oh? Why is that?" Xie Donglai thought for a while before sighing: "Now that I think about it, what he did was right, our old brothers are all dead now, and even Staff Officer Lin is no longer lucky, leaving me alone!

"If he says he's right, I don't think so!" Guichen said in a deep voice: "He just relied on his superior wisdom to let you send him to death!"

Xie Donglai sighed and said, "What you said is wrong! Back then, Brother Jiu went to him for us to ask for an explanation! But since then, there have been rumors that Brother Jiu broke his oath and was taken away by him. ”

"Where does this statement come from?" Guichen frowned, and only said after a while: "As far as I know, the ninth brother in your mouth is Wu Jiu......?

Xie Dong came to see him halfway through and stopped, I didn't know what he meant, so I had to say helplessly: "This matter is all the fault of Liang Guogong, when the ninth brother was forced by him, he made a heavy oath in a fit of anger: I will definitely kill Wang Aya and avenge the dead brothers! Unfortunately, we don't know what happened later!"

"Hahahaha!" Suddenly there was a burst of laughter in the darkness, and both of them were in their hearts, and they looked in the direction where the sound came from, only to see a torch suddenly lit up, and one person stood under the torch and looked at the two quietly!

When Guichen saw the appearance of the person who came, he sneered in his heart, and was about to speak. Xie Donglai snorted coldly and said, "You're here again?" Guichen looked at Xie Donglai, and then at the opposite cell, with a slight concern in his heart.

It turned out that Guichen and Xie Donglai's cells were only about five zhang apart, and there were no other furnishings on either side, only a stone bed, and nothing else. That Xie Donglai was full of beards, unkempt, as if he had not been groomed for many years, his clothes were in tatters, and he couldn't tell how old he was.

But it was Xue Qingbi who came, I saw him carrying a box, I don't know what was inside, I saw him smile and said: "Are the two of you still chatting happily?" Xie Donglai said: "I want you to be nosy! Lao Tzu is still the same sentence as before, don't even think about it!"

Xue Qingbi laughed and said: "Xie Donglai, today is not the situation of the past, it doesn't hurt if your martial arts are not memorized, just return to the dust!

"It's okay!" Guichen was stunned and said, "You locked me up here?" Xue Qingbi lit the torch on the stone next to him, and said, "Okay, I won't mention this beforehand! You're hungry too, aren't you?" After speaking, he opened the box and put it in front of Guichen one by one, but it was a few exquisite dishes and a pot of wine.

Guichen looked at him suspiciously, but the two had been together for many days, and they were still very relieved of him, so he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dishes and prepared to eat. Xie Donglai saw that his chopsticks were about to enter his mouth, and hurriedly said: "Don't eat it! Be careful of poison!" Guichen was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled casually: "You don't have to worry, Mr. Xue has known me for many days, and he won't harm me!" Xie Donglai saw that he didn't listen, and said: "This person is insidious and cunning, you must have been deceived by him." Seeing that his words were serious, Guichen was already displeased in his heart, so he ate a mouthful of food directly, picked up the wine jug by himself, poured himself a glass of wine, and then drank it all, and even glanced at Xie Donglai defiantly after drinking.

Xie Donglai sighed and said, "You stupid boy, I was deceived like this back then! I will never be able to get out of here again!" Guichen was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "What do you mean by this?" Xie Dong glanced at him and replied: "This wine and dish has been put into the poison to dissolve internal strength, once you eat it, even if you have the best internal strength, there is no room for half a point to play, and it is no different from ordinary people, you can only be slaughtered by others." ”

Xue Qingbi nodded and smiled: "Yes! There is indeed poison in the wine and food, this poison is called Jiejin Dispersion, colorless and tasteless, it can dissolve your true qi and internal strength, so that you have nothing to show in your martial arts!"

Guichen spit out the dishes, looked at Xue Qingbi, his eyes widened angrily, and asked with a resentful expression: "The surname Xue, what do you mean?"

"Hey, silly boy!" Xie Donglai sighed, "Don't you understand? This surnamed Xue used this method to imprison me here, he always wanted my martial arts secrets, but I didn't give in." ”

In the blink of an eye, Guichen suddenly felt a burst of tightness in his chest, and a whirlpool suddenly arose between his heart and lungs, and a body of true qi slowly drained from this whirlpool, and the whirlpool was getting bigger and bigger, and the loss speed was getting faster and faster, and it was uncontrollable in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that he couldn't, Guichen connected the three acupoints of Xuanji, the atrium, and the Purple Palace on his chest, drew a circle with both hands, closed his eyes and concentrated on the yuan, closed the heart-lung connection, and the flow of qi and blood in his body immediately slowed down.

Xue Qingbi shook his head and sighed: "Don't waste your efforts, the release of strength will go with the blood, and it has melted into your blood at the moment, unless you have no blood, otherwise your strength will not be restored!"

Guichen hated him for being vicious, and he did such things regardless of the feelings of getting along for many days, and he already hated him very much in his heart, and when he heard this, he was furious and said, "You said! ”

Xue Qingbi was not annoyed when she saw that he was angry, she only said: "You already know that I am the remnant of the Ming Sect, but you don't know that I have another identity. ”

"What identity?" Guichen was puzzled, this Xue Qingbi had been with him for a long time, although the two were not particularly familiar, but they had always been gentle and elegant, even if Yan Ning was also polite to him, what else would he have? But now that he thinks of Yan Ning, he has guessed in his heart that this poison must have been developed by him, and he can't help but hate him to the extreme.

A trace of heat gradually spread, and Guichen hurriedly pulled the collar of his shirt to let a trace of coolness penetrate, but this pull actually felt even hotter.

Xue Qingbi suddenly opened a secret door from the corner, and then took out a chair from the door, saw him sitting not far from the two of them, and said: "Actually, I still have an identity, that is, the commander of the "heroes among people"!"

As soon as these words came out, the two of them were shocked, you must know that the "Jie" organization rarely shows up on the rivers and lakes, and Xue Qingbi is a top master who has been famous in the rivers and lakes for many years, but he is also their person, or what kind of "torture envoy"!

"Wait a minute!" Guichen smiled coldly and asked, "Are you lying to me again?" You are the remnants of the Ming Sect, how can you be the torturer?"

Xue Qingbi shook her head solemnly and said: "I didn't lie to you about this matter, I told you about it today, but I had my plan, alas! Speaking of which, it was also forced by the situation, so I had to do it!"

"Hmph!" Xie Donglai suddenly interjected and asked, "You have time to imprison me for so many years, and you will still be forced by the situation?"

Xue Qingbi smiled helplessly and bitterly: "Okay, since I've already said it, I'll tell you! At this time, King Yan has arrived at a hundred and ten miles outside the city, and he will attack the city in less than a month, and our boss and Feng Linyuan have agreed that the imperial city will be decisive in the near future, so I don't have much time to wait for you." ”

"What did you say?" Xie Donglai asked in surprise, "You said that Feng Linyuan is going to fight you in a decisive battle?" He looked left and right, and saw that Guichen and Xue Qingbi had serious expressions, and he knew that this matter must be true.

After recuperating for a while, he found that it was not very effective, so he gave up, only leaning on the stone bed to breathe silently, when he heard this, he suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Just now you said that with your sword and martial arts in the world, you are already the top master in the world, then why do you want us to imprison us? Could it be that it is really as this surnamed Xie said, you want our martial arts?"

Xue Qingbi was stunned, but his mind was exquisite, and he understood in the blink of an eye, so he had to say: "Yes! I do want your martial arts! But I don't know how to do the Northern Spiritual Skills, so I can only let you memorize the secret book." ”

Guichen sneered: "Aren't you afraid that I will write a fake "Taiyi Heart Sutra" for you?" Xue Qingbi shook his head confidently and said: "Don't be afraid, because you only have seven days, if you don't recite it, I will have to kill you at that time!"

"Taiyi Heart Sutra, are you Feng Linyuan's apprentice?" Xie Donglai was even more surprised when he heard this, and asked: "He is the only one in the world who knows this scripture, and it is said that no one in Guiwangcheng knows this miraculous skill except him, how do you know?"

Xue Qingbi got up and walked to the side, lit the torch close to Xie Donglai, and while walking around, he lit the nearby fire one by one, and said, "It seems that you still don't know each other!

The two have already calculated with each other, and they have been secretly guessing each other's identities.

Xue Qingbi pointed at Xie Donglai and said to Guichen: "This person is a member of the Northern Expeditionary Army back then, surnamed Xie Donglai, after the Northern Expedition, all the soldiers who followed Feng Linyuan to attack Tongzhou were all excluded, and this person didn't want to give Lan Yu his life anymore, so he went back to his hometown, but who would have thought that Lan Yu secretly colluded with Jinyiwei with the intention of putting him to death, do you know what the reason is?"

Guichen frowned, not knowing what his intention was for suddenly mentioning this matter, but he shook his head lightly to show that he didn't know.

Xue Qingbi explained with a smile: "Maybe you are still young and don't know about men and women, Lan Yu was drunk and had no virtue and insulted the imperial concubine of Emperor Tianyuan, this matter was later revealed, and there was a great chaos in the army at that time, and later some people said that it was because the soldiers who fought for their lives led by Feng Linyuan felt that the rewards and punishments were unfair, and secretly told Zhu Yuanzhang about it." ”

The firelight is bright and dark, shining on people's faces, and it looks even more cloudy, although Xie Donglai did not speak, but his expression was serious, and he thought that he was quite concerned about this matter.

I only heard him say: "This matter is a doubt in our hearts, if you can solve my doubts, Xie is grateful." ”

"Hahahaha!" Xue Qingbi laughed wildly when she heard this, and said for a while: "This is natural, I will tell you about this matter today!" Xie Donglai replied with a bow: "Xie Mou listens!"

Xue Qingbi glanced at him and said: "It is true that Lan Yu has opinions about you that day, but he doesn't want your life, all of this has to start with Feng Linyuan and you conquering Tongzhou, at that time, Feng Linyuan and Wu Jiu were both literate and martial, Feng Linyuan made suggestions, Wu Jiu was brave and fearless, and the two led everyone to work together to capture Tongzhou, which was originally a happy event, but it went wrong at the end, do you know why?"

The two shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know, Xue Qingbi had to continue: "Jiang Jin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard back then, is actually our person, this Feng Linyuan retreats bravely, don't want fame, but there are other people who want it! These people have long been unsightly in the open and secret fighting, until two years later, the army went on another northern expedition, but it was a battle in the fishing sea, and Feng Linyuan made a strange plot again, and actually beat Emperor Tianyuan and fled for thousands of miles, and finally died in the hands of his own people. ”

Xie Donglai snorted coldly: "I already knew about this matter, not to mention that I was also in the Northern Expeditionary Army back then, and I know the details better than you know, if you still say this nonsense, then I don't have time to listen to you." ”

The corners of Xue Qingbi's mouth raised slightly, with an unfathomable and profound look, and said: "Okay, good, good! Then I'll tell you something you don't know! As soon as this battle ended, Feng Linyuan left the barracks, and although he won the gambling agreement with Lan Yu that day, he also lost!"

Seeing that he had something to say, Guichen couldn't help asking, "How do you say this?"

Xue Qingbi smiled gloomily and said: "Because Feng Linyuan is stubborn by nature, when he left, he just gave Lan Yu an excuse, Lan Yu ignored the advice of his subordinates, and insisted on informing the whole army, saying that Feng Linyuan deliberately let go of Emperor Tianyuan, so that it was a failure!"

"Is there such a thing?" Guichen heard of it for the first time, in the past, he only knew that his face was cold, and he didn't say much to himself, but he didn't expect that he just buried a lot of words in his heart.

"As the commander of the three armies, Duke Liang naturally doesn't want to mention to others that he actually won a bet with others, and he said this just for the sake of greedy merit!" Xie Donglai sighed and said sadly: "We already know everything about this matter, but we just don't know how to mention it!"

Xue Qingbi was in a good mood when she saw the reaction of the two, and continued: "This blue jade was full of ambition at that time, and rewarded the generals of the Northern Expedition at will, but did not know that Zhu Yuanzhang would be noted; when he returned, he sang songs every night, and actually hit the idea on the concubine of Emperor Tianyuan! At that time, our "right soldier" was trained with the army, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed at first sight, and he was busy flying pigeons to pass the book in the house, and ordered someone to secretly report to Zhu Yuanzhang, and then spread the news in the army, saying that Feng Linyuan secretly reported to Zhu Yuanzhang, and since then it has laid the root of Feng Linyuan and you. ”

"What are you talking about? It turns out that you did everything!" Xie Donglai was extremely angry when he heard this, and wanted to rush over and kill Xue Qingbi, but just after walking a few steps, the chain came to an end, it turned out that the iron chain was only about two feet, his steps were very big, and he had reached the limit in just a few steps, leaving only the straight chain and his angry roar.

Xue Qingbi watched him move in front of him, but he was not surprised at all, he actually got up slowly, and smiled at him: "Yes! As you thought in your heart, later Lan Yu suppressed you many times, forcing you to leave the barracks, and then asked Jiang Zhen to send people to hunt you down, and Feng Linyuan didn't come out to defend himself, which of course made Lan Yu affirm his own approach in his heart, of course we are happy to see you fight each other, so that you can reap the benefits! Hahahaha!"

Guichen snorted angrily and said: "So insidious and vicious, what is there to be proud of? Just because you are so virtuous, you have won the world, but I am afraid that no one can accept it!"

When Xue Qingbi heard him say this, she actually stopped laughing, her face showed a hint of bitterness, and she sighed after a while: "After I came back this time, I didn't think about it anymore!"

When Guichen saw him suddenly like this, he was surprised in his heart and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"Alas!" Xue Qingbi sighed: "Our boss has experienced many years of sophistication, and he has already seen through it, and his edge has long been smoothed; What's more, King Yan has become a climate this time, and his wings are full, so I'm afraid that the outcome will be difficult to say. ”

Xie Donglai smiled coldly and said mockingly: "Then why didn't you run away with your tail between your legs?" Xue Qingbi said indifferently: "With my current martial arts, although I am not sure of winning in a fight with Feng Linyuan, it is enough to protect myself, but if I know the secret of the Taiyi Heart Sutra, then the victory or defeat is not certain." ”

"Hahahaha!" Guichen suddenly laughed and said, "I'm afraid that your wishful thinking is going to come to naught!" I won't give you the Taiyi Heart Sutra!"

Xue Qingbi didn't seem to be afraid of this, just smiled indifferently, turned his head to Xie Dong and said, "We've been talking for a long time, and I haven't had time to introduce you yet!" This young man's surname is Feng Linyuan, he is the son of Feng Linyuan, except for Feng Linyuan in the world today, he is the only one who knows this martial art!"

Xie Donglai's eyes froze, and he said strangely: "Alas, I haven't stepped out of here for many years, and I didn't even know that his child was so old!" He looked at Guichen, his face was full of doubt, and asked: "Why haven't I seen you for so many years? You must know that I have been to Guiwang City several times, both openly and secretly. ”

Guichen didn't know what to think, so he poured himself another glass of wine, and after drinking it all, he said: "I was injured when I was young, and since then I have fallen ill, and I have only been in Happy City and Beiping for many years, so I have never been to Guiwang City. ”

Xue Qingbi took a deep breath and said slowly: "Boy, your father can teach you the Taiyi Heart Sutra, and naturally taught you the trick, you tell me." ”

Guichen pointed at him and laughed, and after a while, he relieved himself and said: "How difficult the Taiyi Heart Sutra is, I have been practicing for six years and it is just a rough pass, do you want to understand the trick in a month?"

"It is impossible for martial arts in the world to be without flaws, as long as you study hard, you will definitely succeed!" Xue Qingbi said loudly: "As long as I have the cheats in hand, when I study the flaws, I don't believe that he can still use them to run rampant in the world!"

Guichen looked him up and down for a while, then shook his head and said: "Mr. Xue, you are too sure of this, the "Taiyi Heart Sutra" is because once it is practiced, there is no flaw, it is only because the cultivation is too difficult, he will divide this martial art into eight, create the Guiwang Eight Gates, and inherit the eight martial arts respectively, otherwise, if there is a random person who has practiced the scriptures in Guiwang City, you will not be able to beat it!"

Xue Qingbi's eyes narrowed slightly, the killing intent in his eyes was awe-inspiring, and he said in a deep voice: "You said there are no flaws?" Guichen sighed and asked rhetorically: "He has been practicing the Taiyi Heart Sutra for so many years, have you ever seen him lose a move and a half in anyone's hands?"

Suddenly, I saw Xue Qingbi sit back on the chair, looking ahead in distraction, not knowing what she was thinking. Seeing him like this, Guichen felt a slight sense of unbearability in his heart, so he said: "Mr. is now a top master in martial arts, why do you have to be such a scripture-breaking book?"

Xie Dong came to see him deflated, but he was very happy, and said with a smile: "Boy, don't you know, although this person's sword practice is extremely powerful, but it consumes too much internal strength, with his current internal strength, it is great to support a cup of tea, but he does not have the Northern Shengong to protect the body, so he has to find another way, and want to find a way from you and me." ”

"I see!" Guichen secretly thought to himself, and had a plan in his heart, but he still felt strange, and couldn't help asking: "What kind of martial arts does Your Excellency practice? Can he persist for so many years!" Xie Donglai smiled coldly and said, "Since we are in the same room, I will tell you today! The name of the Breathing Technique I practiced is a rare method of breathing, and the practice of this technique is ten times better than that of ordinary people. ”

Guichen didn't believe it, he just thought he was bragging, so he only looked at him fixedly, but refused to answer. Xie Donglai saw that he was suspicious, so he explained: "Ordinary people practice internal strength, no matter how advanced and profound, a breath of true qi is the limit of running at most one week, but the martial arts I practice are different, this method of breathing can make people in a state like being in the mother's womb, and it is not uncommon to run for a few weeks in one breath, so ordinary people practice hard, but it is very easy for me to get it." ”

"Oh, where did you learn such evil martial arts?" asked the Dust Monster, "Could it be that you taught what you did?"

"Phew!" Xie Donglai heard him say ugly, and his mouth was also teasing, and he was a little annoyed for a while, and only explained: "This is the authentic Taoist mind, when I was chased and killed by the Jinyi Guard, and then when I was in danger, I met a sloppy old Taoist, and he passed on my mind, and then I relied on it, and my skills became deeper and deeper, until I was deceived by this surnamed Xue to come here, and I never saw the light of day again!"

Xue Qingbi came back to his senses, and saw that his appearance had returned to normal, and he had already figured it out! I saw him slowly come to Guichen's side, and looked at him for a while before saying: "Boy, for the sake of the relationship between you and me for many days, as long as you memorize the secret book, I will let you go, what do you think?"

When Guichen heard this, he shook his head silently!

Xue Qingbi nodded and said, "I have thought that you are stubborn, and it is impossible to hand it over easily!" He looked at Xie Donglai, then at Guichen, and sighed: "Okay, then let's follow the old rules!"

Xie Donglai was very excited when he heard this, only to see him pull the chain and say loudly: "The surname is Xue, he is just a teenager, how can you do this?"

As if he hadn't heard, Xue Qingbi turned around and extinguished a few torches, and then left here.
