Unfortunately, when he slipped into the courtyard, he found that the lights had been turned off in the two wings where the Lishan faction lived. He stood still in the doorway, listened intently for a moment, and then gently poked open the Koryo paper that had been glued to the window with his spittle-moistened index finger, and it was pitch black inside, and he could not see anything. So he sneakily and quickly moved to the door of Shen Xiaoxun's room, and observed in the same way, but found nothing.

Disappointed, he had no choice but to leave in a daze: since the half of the jade plate was in Pei Yao's hand, then she was the real Yan Zhenying! But what was the reason for her leaving the Ink Pie? Just because her father is sorry for her mother? I was still thinking about reuniting old friends to catch up with old friends, but I actually went to bed so early, it's really boring!

Mu Chuyu left the courtyard dejectedly. Shen Xiaoxun and Pei Yao, who were hiding on the bed, breathed a sigh of relief!

"Childe, how did you know that Mu Chuyu would come to me?" Pei Yao had to admire Shen Xiaoxun's foresight, and asked in a low voice.

"When the lot was drawn in the ring of today's martial arts conference, I noticed that Mu Chuyu might have discovered your identity, so I paid more attention to it later!"

"Oh!" Pei Yao nodded suddenly in realization, and then thought: Mu Chuyu has probably found out that I am his unlucky fiancée! Anyway, he doesn't want to marry me, and I don't want to marry him, he has an explanation for his Song Keci, the two of them can live and fly together, and it's not bad to leave me alone to live a happy life!

When she came back after coming out of her mind, Pei Yao suddenly found that the atmosphere in this tent was a little ambiguous. The light around them is not pitch black, but more like a quiet deep blue, and if you look closely, you can see the flying and jumping dust, and the two of them sit cross-legged on the bed in the curtain, I don't know if it is because the space is so small that it is suffocating, and the sound of each other's breathing seems extraordinarily clear and heavy.

Pei Yao swallowed silently, raised her eyes and saw Shen Xiaoxun looking at herself intently, such mutual stares didn't know how long it lasted, Pei Yao only saw that his eyes contained ten thousand emotions, ignoring the ordinary mask he was wearing.

The cinnabar mole under the human skin mask suddenly stung, Pei Yao staggered Shen Xiaoxun's eyes, opened the bed curtain, and got out of bed slightly, not forgetting to hide it: "I'll go drink a few more sips of wine!" ”

Shen Xiaoxun continued to sit on the bed in a trance, his eyes still lingering on Pei Yao's body.

Mu Chuyu returned to his residence in a lost place, and not long after he lay down, a light rain fell outside the window, and the sound of the rain was more likely to hypnocate people, and his body was even more soft lying on the bed and didn't want to move anymore.

It rained like this overnight, and when it was dawning, the rain stopped, and the daylight broke out from behind the thick clouds, and it would be a sunny day. The next day, the contest continued on time, and the air after the rain and the fragrance of the earth were refreshing.

After Xiao Keqian copied and pasted yesterday's greetings, Shen Xiaoxun stood in the ring with Zhou Langhe's saber.

Odd! Why didn't you see Ding Ruoshuang? Pei Yao looked around for a week but didn't see Ding Ruoshuang, who was "uncomfortable if she didn't make trouble", and a sense of weirdness and tension suddenly rose in her heart.

Sure enough, strange things happened in the ring one after another......

The sixth place to sign was the famous abbot of Shaolin Temple, Master Ning Yuan, and Pei Yao couldn't help but sweat for Shen Xiaoxun in her heart. Master Ning Yuan was holding a golden Zen staff in his hand, and at first glance it looked good, and no one could find anything wrong. But once the competition began, Master Ning Yuan obviously couldn't care about the top and bottom, and couldn't care about the front and back, and the Zen staff looked bulky in his hand.

And although Shen Xiaoxun's Lishan faction knife technique only has moves, his internal strength is quite strong and strong, no! It is more powerful and powerful! Shen Xiaoxun gave Master Ning Yuan enough face in the ring, and danced a beautiful knife technique by himself, and only after a long delay did he make up his mind to hit with one blow.

Except for Master Ning Yuan, the rest of the masters were in much the same situation when they confronted Shen Xiaoxun, they were either top-heavy and dizzy, or they were weak and lacking breath. All in all, none of them are Shen Xiaoxun's opponents, in front of Shen Xiaoxun, they are more like country reckless men with only brute strength, and their brute force hitting Shen Xiaoxun is like a heavy punch on cotton, and they can't use it. He hung their appetite and whisked them out of the ring after a few rounds of hooping.

It was so bizarre that she turned her head to pay attention to the people under the canopy, they clapped their hands, they applauded, but their eyes were misty and unfocused! They look a bit like ...... Didn't wake up! Or rather, like a dream!

Pei Yao was taken aback by this idea, and quickly pinched the back of her hand hard, it really hurt!

It seems that this is really not a dream, but without dreaming, Brother Shen can still be invincible to this extent? It's so weird! Pei Yao didn't dare to think about it anymore!

The penultimate one in the ring was Shi Feng, the senior brother of the Starfire Sect.

Unlike the previous times, Shen Xiaoxun did not knock him out of the ring after hanging him for a long time, but pierced his heart with a saber. The air in the audience seemed to freeze for a moment, and suddenly burst into warm applause: "Good! Good! Good! That's amazing! ”

Pei Yao pursed her lips in fright: Why did Brother Shen kill Shi Feng, was it because of the old feud between the Begonia Pavilion and the Xinghuo Sect? I don't really understand! But fortunately, what I killed was an evil demon crooked, otherwise these famous and decent people wouldn't be so powerful!

The last person to be drawn was the "Jade-faced Sword God" Mu Chuyu.

It's over, will Brother Shen kill him too! Pei Yao's heart suddenly hung in her throat.

However, her worries are not over, and the victory or defeat in the ring is settled.

Before Mu Chuyu's Spirit Snake Sword could be unsheathed, he was kicked away by Shen Xiaoxun...... It's miserable!

The martial arts conference ended in a daze, and after Xiao Keqian came to the stage and told him a few words of concern and reminder from his predecessors, he handed him the seal symbolizing the leader of the martial arts alliance!

Even if the people under the ring are not convinced, they have to hold back!

Like a dream, there is a beginning and an end.

Shen Xiaoxun didn't stay too long after getting the seal, he and Pei Yao went back to the room to pack up briefly and set off back to Haitang Pavilion.

In order to avoid being chased by the Spark faction or other troubles, they rode over the mountain where they came, and when they reached the fork in the mountain, they tore off their human skin masks and returned to Suzhou unimpeded.

On the way, they spent the night in the woods, and it was that night that Shen Xiaoxun explained the "dream" of the martial arts conference to Pei Yao!

That night, the stars were like a dream, dotting the sky, and it was the third day since the end of the martial arts conference.

Shen Xiaoxun leisurely lit a bonfire in the woods, and the two sat by the fire by the tree, the flames that jumped up were like falling stars, and the air floating above the fire distorted the shadows of the trees. Two maroon horses were tied to the same tree and stood and looked around. The distance between Pei Yao and Shen Xiaoxun was only a foot wide, and she quietly looked at his side face, calm and quiet.

Shen Xiaoxun held the pin bone fan in one hand and put dead branches in the fire with the other. He realized the look that Pei Yao threw at him, the corners of his mouth slowly hooked, and he turned his head and said, "What?" Got something on your mind? ”

Pei Yao was so excited that she shuddered in her head: "Uh...... Then, that, Brother Shen, on the day the martial arts conference ended, didn't you notice anything unusual in their performance? ”

Shen Xiaoxun stopped adding dead branches, leaned back against the trunk of the tree, and replied confidently with his hands on his chest and tilted his head: "Because they are all poisoned?" ”

"Poisoned?" Pei Yao suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, and it was reasonable for one or two people to be poisoned, but what happened when everyone was poisoned? Then why didn't she and Shen Xiaoxun get poisoned?

Shen Xiaoxun knew that Pei Yao might not be able to react for a while, so he sighed lightly and continued: "It was Ding Ruoshuang's poison, and after the poisoning, he left Xiaojiabao!" ”

Ding Ruoshuang? I just said that with his character of "uncomfortable if he doesn't cause trouble", how could he leave early? Pei Yao's eyes gathered starlight, and she silently confirmed Shen Xiaoxun's answer in her heart.

Naturally, she recalled what Ding Ruoshuang said on the night she gave her wine: If you take this wine, it will be regarded as my wish that your son-in-law can survive a hundred battles tomorrow and successfully win the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance!

Invincible?

"Could it be that the wine that Ding Ruoshuang gave us is the antidote?" Pei Yao exclaimed, frightened the sleeping bird in the tree screaming and fluttering away.

Shen Xiaoxun smiled with satisfaction, as if she was lamenting that she was "teachable".

"That's right! The bottle of wine that Ding Ruoshuang gave us is the antidote! And it will also increase my internal strength! His repetitive emphasis confirmed Pei Yao's speculation.

"But—is this incredible? Why did he help us? And how did he hide it? ”

"He wants to help us because he took the Agarwood Begonia Order to the Begonia Pavilion to make a deal......"

"Agarwood Begonia Order? This is the third piece, right? As soon as she heard the words "Agarwood Begonia Order", Pei Yao would reflexively sit up straight and listen.

"Hmm!" Shen Xiaoxun said unabashedly, "At that time, after Mrs. Haitang received the task, she thought of using him as well and asked him to assist the two of us in completing Zhou Langhe's task!" But Mrs. Begonia only told him to go to Xiaojiabao to help the people of Haitang Pavilion successfully win the position of the leader of the alliance, and did not disclose anything else, and the code was the song "Like a Dream Order"! ”

Pei Yao was stunned, and her memories were pulled to the tea house on the mountain...... It's all a routine!

"Then how did he manage to poison everyone without knowing it?"

"Ding Ruoshuang has left, and I have no way of knowing his specific methods. But I suspect that the poison in them must be like tears! ”

Like a dream of tears? This name is quite poetic and dreamy, but Pei Yao's barren brain capacity has indeed not been recorded in this name.

Shen Xiao looked ignorant when he saw her, smiled faintly and continued: "Dream tears are a strange poison developed by Ding Ruoshuang, and the poisoned person will have a dreamlike illusion in real life, as if he is in a dream!" I guess he must have sprinkled the poison into the soil of Xiaojiabao after entering Xiaojiabao, and I have heard that Ding Ruoshuang can observe the heavens, he must have calculated that there would be a heavy rain the night before, and that heavy rain will stimulate the tears in the soil, so that it and the rain will permeate the entire Xiaojiabao, so that everyone in Xiaojiabao will be poisoned! And the toxicity of tears can be as long as a day! ”

Listening to Shen Xiaoxun's explanation, Pei Yao felt like she was in a dream, and her brows finally stretched out but wrinkled together: "But, if you don't get the fifth place, then isn't his poison in vain?" ”

"If I hadn't been the fifth person drawn, do you think Ding Ruoshuang would have thought of any other way?" Shen Xiaoxun suddenly stretched out his left hand and gently hooked her nose and said with a smile.

It's the nose that's hooked, but it's the face that's red, and it's the forehead that hurts.

Maybe Shen Xiaoxun himself also felt that the intimate behavior just now was a little inappropriate, he deliberately showed a tired appearance, covered his mouth and yawned lightly: "It's not early, let's rest!" Hurry early tomorrow! ”

"Hmm!"

Pei Yao herself wasn't sure if she had uttered that word. She originally wanted to ask if the reason why Shen Xiaoxun killed Shi Feng was a task given by Ding Ruoshuang. But Ding Ruoshuang may not be Shi Feng's opponent, if not, then the surnamed Ding will let someone from Haitang Pavilion complete the task for him, and how tricky is that task?
