Early the next morning, Ye Chuan got up early, first went to a carpenter shop in the town to buy some hammers, axes, planers, rivets and other tools, and then returned to the inn, called Su Ling, brought the drawings, came to a forest near Liulin Town, and began to make "crocodile scissors".

This is an ownerless forest, the trees are well exposed to the sun, grow very thick, Ye Chuan chose a tree trunk straight, clear lines of the hugging wood, with a stubby file instead of the long sword, first make a move "Liuhe vertical and horizontal", use the "sword qi" to cut off the miscellaneous branches and leaves, and then stand twenty feet away from the trunk, pour the true qi into the file, look at the direction of the tree, try to use a move "sword flying shocking", only to hear a sharp roar, the file cut through the air, firmly nailed into the trunk, only the handle of the knife is exposed, and the hum does not stop.

Ye Chuan waited for a long time, and when he saw that the tree was not moving, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Hey! If I don't break through the eighth layer of Zichen Xuangong for a day, this 'Light and Dust' and 'Sword Flying Shocking' will not be able to use its power, if this trick is used by Senior Brother, the trunk will be broken long ago! ”

Su Ling comforted him and said, "How can you be so anxious, even if it is an old man like Master, when you are your age, you may not be able to reach the eighth layer realm, not to mention that you use a file......

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard two clicks, and the place where the file sank into the trunk suddenly stretched out cracks to both ends, and a breeze blew, and the hugging wood body was crooked, and it slowly fell, and it made a loud "bang" on the ground.

The two were stunned for a while, and Ye Chuan suddenly smiled and said: "Paint the tiger according to the cat, reluctantly, hahaha!" ”

Su Ling said: "Look at you, you are proud, like a child." ”

Ye Chuan took the axe, divided the trunk into more than a dozen pieces, and then processed it according to the drawings one by one, he was a beginner, and the technique was naturally not as skilled as those old carpenters, but the victory was full of internal strength, and the action was vigorous, and after each part was done, it was handed over to Su Ling, and the size was checked against the drawings.

By noon, Ye Chuan had finished all the parts, so he sat in the shade with Su Ling, sharing the dry food they brought, and the two of them ate coarse tea and light rice, talking and laughing, and they were in a good mood. After eating, we snuggled together for a nap and woke up to assemble the parts.

Before sunset, the "crocodile scissors" had been assembled, Ye Chuan pushed it and tried it repeatedly, and felt that the whole was fine, but the tightness of some joints was a little inappropriate, thinking that there was still one day left tomorrow, so he was too lazy to adjust it, and under the pretext that it was late, he beckoned Su Ling to go back.

When he arrived at the inn, Ye Chuan watched Su Ling drink the medicine again, and then went back to the room to rest.

On the morning of the third day, the two carefully proofread all the shaft hole joints, and used vegetable oil to drip into the moisturizer to solve the problem of coordination disorder, and in the afternoon, Ye Chuan tried to break through the eighth layer realm again, and failed, when he was disheartened, he suddenly thought that Su Ling's meridians might be better, called her to his side, injected Su Ling's body with his own true qi, extended and broadened the meridians for her, and walked a complete week, and found that Su Ling's meridians had almost recovered, and his heart was overjoyed.

Even so, Ye Chuan still asked Su Ling to insist on taking the medicine that night, and watched her frown and drink the medicinal soup before leaving with confidence.

In one day, two major matters were solved one after another, Ye Chuan was relieved, and slept very soundly at night, but in the middle of the night, he was awakened by a rapid gong sound, opened his eyes in a daze, and heard someone shouting on the street: "Jin Bing is here!" Run, everybody! ”

Ye Chuan's heart sudden, jumped to the ground, quickly put on his clothes, pants, shoes and socks, ran to Su Lingmen, knocked on the door, and said, "Senior sister!" Woke up! ”

With a squeak, the door of the house opened inward, and Su Ling had already put on his clothes, and said hurriedly: "It's one, what's going on?" ”

Ye Chuan hated: "I heard people shouting that the Jin soldiers are coming, presumably the Ming army was defeated and retreated south, the Jin people were looting and looting everywhere, Xiong Tingbi is a waste, I really overestimated him!" ”

"So what do we do now?"

"Pack your things and get out of here!"

Su Ling couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Ye Chuan with an unfamiliar eye, Ye Chuan somehow asked, "Senior sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Su Ling said: "If it was Senior Brother Xiaochuan in the past, he would definitely not let so many people go and run for his life alone......"

Ye Chuan's heart tingled faintly, he lowered his head and said, "Senior sister...... I used to do what I thought was right...... repelled the Salt Gang on Jiangnan Road, secretly tracked down the Blood Qilin in Qiushui Villa, assassinated Yan Song after Lord Xia was killed, and refused to take He Qingqing to evacuate first when Bai Miao was in trouble...... The result always brings bad luck and harm to the people closest to me and care about me the most, there are so many people in the town, if you let go of the rescue, it is inevitable that you will not be able to take care of you, I ...... I can't let you have any more slip-ups, so this time ......"

Ye Chuan raised his head, looked at Su Ling's eyes, and said word by word: "This time I will only protect you!" ”

Su Ling was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Okay, I'll clean it up." ”

Ye Chuan let out a long sigh and closed his eyes gently.

The Jin soldiers came quickly, when Ye and Su walked downstairs, the vanguard of the Jin army had already arrived, several Jurchen scouts were slashing and killing in the streets, laughing unscrupulously, Ye Chuan saw a teenage child die under the scout knife, he couldn't help but blood gushing up, and the knuckles of his clenched knuckles rattled, Su Ling saw what he was thinking, so he said: "Senior brother, you better go and help everyone, maybe they can escape before the Jin soldiers' army, I don't care......"

Ye Chuan turned his heart sideways, picked up Su Lingheng, and threw himself into the night, and when the scout saw the two of them, he shouted and rode his horse to chase after him.

Ye Chuan said in his heart: "What a Jurchen who doesn't know whether to live or die, it's really a way to heaven that you don't go, and there is no door to hell for you to come!" Just wanted to stop and solve the scout, and then thought: "Senior sister has lost all her martial arts now, and she is no different from an ordinary weak woman, I must not leave her side." "Afterburning, trying to shake the scout away.

The Jurchens are good at riding and shooting, and the scout is very good at riding, and when he saw Ye Chuan speeding up, he actually became competitive, and stepped up to catch up, stretched out his bow and took an arrow, and shot an arrow at Ye Chuan's back heart.

This arrow was fast and accurate, and when he saw that he was about to be shot, Ye Chuan suddenly waved a palm with his backhand, and shattered the arrow with a snap, and the scout screamed, and another arrow came.

Ye Chuan was a little upset in his heart, and he didn't want to stop, so he waved his palm again, shattering the arrow, and suddenly saw a sparkling wave not far away, and he actually arrived at the edge of the Ling River.

The river is more than six zhang wide, and it can't fly over it no matter what, not to mention that Ye Chuan has a person on him, so he had to stop by the river, and the scout saw that they had no way out, so he laughed and chased after him, and waved a bright single knife to the top of Ye Chuan's head.

Ye Chuan put Su Ling down and said in his heart: "It's just right!" He kicked the horse in the head, knocking the scout and the horse to the ground.

The scout had never seen anyone kick the galloping horse over, and he was so frightened that his soul was gone, Ye Chuan stepped forward to lift him, pinched his heart, and threw it at He Xin, then picked up Su Ling, jumped over, and chased after the scout.

The scout was thrown high by him, and couldn't help but scream, Ye Chuan fell on his back, stepped hard, jumped up again, drew a beautiful arc, and landed steadily on the other side of the river. He stepped on it so hard that the scout broke his spine and fell into the river with a thud.

Ye Chuan looked at his body being washed away by the river, and said: "A few scouts of the vanguard team are okay, and when the large army of the Jin Army comes, I can't kill it even if I have three heads and six arms, let's go to the mountains to hide first." ”

Su Ling said "um", and Ye Chuan immediately jumped up with her in his arms and rushed towards Phoenix Mountain. Along the way, I only felt that my internal strength was undiminished, and before the great victory, I thought to myself: "Strange, did I unknowingly break through the eighth layer realm?" Why is it that the more I want to break through, the more difficult it is to achieve, and I don't think about it in my heart, but I have practiced it! ”

It is necessary to know that practicing martial arts, paying attention to eliminating distracting thoughts, and having no distractions, Ye Chuan practiced before, always thinking about Su Ling's injury, so it was difficult to break through, and now it is confirmed that Su Ling's meridians have been healed, and he has let go of the burden of the boss in his heart, and when he just kicked over the galloping horse, he inadvertently achieved the eighth layer of Xuangong.

Ye Chuan hugged Su Ling, and ran halfway up the mountain in one breath before stopping to rest, Su Ling looked around, and suddenly said, "Senior brother, do you see the flowers and plants around here, do they seem to have been planted on purpose?" ”

Ye Chuan raised his eyes and saw that the flowers near here were scattered, the branches and leaves were neat, and it really didn't look like natural growth, so he couldn't help but frown, and said: "It seems that there are people living nearby, let's go and find it, maybe we can spend the night for a while." ”

The two of them then got up and searched along the dirt road, and sure enough, they found a wooden house two miles away.

Ye Chuan knocked three times on the door of the house and asked, "Is there anyone?" ”

There was no echo in the house, Ye and Su glanced at each other, pushed the door and prepared to enter.

As soon as the door opened, he saw a fierce old woman sitting opposite, staring at the two of them up and down with bronze bell-like eyes.

The two were startled, and hurriedly retreated outside the house, Ye Chuan arched his hand and said: "Mother-in-law, the golden soldiers under the mountain are in turmoil, we have fled here, and I hope that my mother-in-law will make it convenient for my brother and sister to spend the night." ”

The mother-in-law snorted coldly and said, "The golden soldiers are in turmoil? So many people have been displaced, I can't live here, I don't want to borrow! As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind rose in the room, and the two doors slammed shut.

Ye Chuan said in his heart: "What a strong internal force!" I don't know who this mother-in-law is? Then he thought, "Although this person is not easy to mess with, there is nowhere else to go now, so I have to be cheeky and beg her again." Then he said: "Mother-in-law, my junior sister is not in good health and can't stand the night wind, please let us go in and rest for a while, we will leave early tomorrow morning, and we will not bother." ”

The old woman said, "Wow, if you have the ability to come in, I will keep you staying!" ”

Ye Chuan said in his heart: "Although your internal strength is high, my Taiqing Palace's Zichen Xuangong is not a vegetarian, so I will compete with you today!" said: "Well, the juniors are offended!" A palm struck out from the air, sending out a soft internal force, pushing the door open.

There was a "huh" sound in the room, and then said: "Zichen Xuangong? It turned out to be Geng Yilan's disciple, hum. ”

Ye Chuan was very happy when he heard her say about her own teacher, and said, "Exactly, mother-in-law, the younger generation is coming in." "Lift your left foot and step into the threshold.

The mother-in-law said, "Wait! Ye Chuan was worried that the internal forces of the two would collide head-on, and the air wave would shatter the door panel, so he didn't dare to connect it hard, and he touched the eaves of the door with his toes, and his feet were on the door frame, hanging upside down.

The mother-in-law said: "Jueyunbu, it's quite neat!" As soon as the words fell, another internal force was sent out of the air, Ye Chuan knew that it was meaningless to consume it like this, so he pinched the sword trick in his hand, replaced the sword with his fingers, and made a move "with light and dust", evenizing the internal force in all directions, followed by an arrow step, and rushed into the house.

Before she could settle down, the mother-in-law's figure flashed, and she actually moved in front of Ye Chuan in a sitting position, and pushed out with two palms, Ye Chuan and her four palms connected, and suddenly felt a great suction force in the other party's hand, which made her breathless, gritted her teeth and persevered for a while, and finally begged for mercy: "Mother-in-law...... Men...... Be merciful......"

The mother-in-law suddenly regained her strength, Ye Chuan stumbled and fell backwards, Su Ling exclaimed, and hurriedly came in to help him.

The mother-in-law had already sat back in her original position, and said coldly: "At a young age, it is not easy to have such a cultivation. ”

Ye Chuan knew that he was invincible, stood up, bowed deeply at the mother-in-law, and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law!" ”

The mother-in-law said: "Your trick 'with light and dust' is too blunt, what about your sword?" ”

Ye Chuan was a little embarrassed and said, "Forced to make a living, I gave it to people as collateral." ”

Mother-in-law said: "You can learn to be with the light, you must be a senior disciple of the Taiqing Palace, and you even took your own sword as a mortgage, do you have any backbone?" ”

Ye Chuan hurriedly said: "Mother-in-law taught me a lesson!" ”

The mother-in-law glanced at Su Ling and asked, "This little girl is your junior sister?" Why don't I see that she doesn't know any martial arts at all? ”

Ye Chuan said: "This matter is a long story, if my mother-in-law doesn't give up, please listen to me slowly." ”

The mother-in-law snorted and said, "Close the door!" I'm old and my ears are bad, so you sit down and talk about it carefully. ”

Ye Chuan was overjoyed when he heard that she had promised the two of them to stay overnight, and hurriedly closed the door, plugged in the latch, pulled Su Ling to sit in front of the mother-in-law, and said: "Mother-in-law lives in seclusion in the mountains, and she must not know much about the recent events in the rivers and lakes, and this matter must start from the succession ceremony of Qiushui Villa......

There were no candles in the house, it was all by moonlight, Ye Chuan took Su Ling's hand, and told the things that came into the rivers and lakes and his own experience in detail, the mother-in-law listened quietly, silently, and when Ye Chuan finished speaking, she suddenly asked: "You said that Li Muyun didn't invite Mingyue Palace to crusade against the Demon Sect together, because Mingyue Palace acted strangely and couldn't be trusted?" ”

Ye Chuan faintly sensed that something was wrong, but the words had already been spoken, and he couldn't deny it, so he had to say, "Yes...... Be! Mingyue Palace rarely interacts with other sects, and only accepts female disciples, which is generally believed by the outside world...... thinks that Mingyue Palace is an alternative ...... in the Righteous Path Sect."

The mother-in-law said sharply, "Do you know who I am?" ”

Hearing her tone, Ye Chuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and hesitated: "Late ...... The younger generation doesn't know. ”

"I am the former palace master of Mingyue Palace, Lu Muqin!"
