Chapter Twenty-Three: Advance and Retreat (I)

The stars and the moon are shining, the night is quiet and beautiful, time passes quietly, after everyone waited here for a while, Wan Jian looked up at the sky, shook his head and said: "The time has come, it seems that Senior Brother Zeng can't come, let's go." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Everyone was speechless and walked back, among them Tian Buyi couldn't help but look back at the Hongqiao in the distance, and Cang Song had a sneer on his face, obviously looking down on this Zeng Shuchang who was retreating from the situation.

As for the others, their expressions didn't change much because of this.

However, seeing that parting was imminent, and seeing Wan Jianyi walking over and standing with Cang Song, Tian Buyi, and Shang Zhengliang, Shui Yue and Su Ru's faces were still a little pale after all. Even Dao Xuan, who had always been calm, twitched slightly at the corners of his eyes, and was silent.

Wan Jianyi didn't seem to be sad, smiled, arched his hand to everyone, and just wanted to speak, but at this time, he suddenly heard a shout from the distance of Hongqiao, with a little hurry, and came from afar: "Don't, don't go, I'm here!" ”

Tian Buyi turned around suddenly, overjoyed, and said, "It's Xiao Zeng who is here." ”

Everyone turned around and looked together, and sure enough, they saw a figure striding from the far side of Hongqiao, and when they came closer, the moonlight illuminated his face, it was Zeng Shuchang. I just heard him gasp, obviously it was all the way to Edgeworth to run, and there was a bit of eagerness on his face.

I saw him running quickly to Wan Jianyi, and in a hurry, he didn't even bother to greet Dao Xuan and the others, so he took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Wan Jianyi, and said, "Senior Brother Wan, this is, it's my father's handwritten letter." ”

Wan Jian glanced at him, stretched out his hand to take it, took out the letter paper and unfolded it, looked at it for a while by the moonlight in the sky, then nodded, and said to Uncle Zeng: "Since Uncle Zeng has no objections, then you can go with us." ”

Uncle Zeng Chang breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had finally let go of a big stone in his heart, and then he came to his senses, and then noticed the large number of people around him, and hurriedly saluted. At the end, he walked aside, but he naturally stood with Tian Buyi.

Tian Buyi looked at him, with a little smile on his face, but then he seemed to think of something, and suddenly his face sank, but he was a little angry, and said in a low voice: "I said, how dangerous this wild trip is, do you know it?" ”

Uncle Zeng Chang gasped for a moment at this moment, nodded, and said, "I naturally know." ”

Tian Buyi glared at him and said, "Then why do you have to rush over and aren't you afraid of death?" ”

Uncle Zeng snorted and asked rhetorically, "You yourself are here, why do you still ask me this?" Are you afraid of death yourself? ”

Tian Buyi said angrily: "Nonsense, who is good and decent is not afraid of death, but this action is very important, and it is related to my Qingyun Sect's Qianqiu foundation, as a disciple of Qingyun, of course it is incumbent on me." ”

Uncle Zeng often said: "Lao Tzu is also a disciple of Qingyun!" ”

Tian Buyi sneered and said, "But Senior Brother Wan is looking for me personally, so I naturally can't refuse, but he obviously didn't look for you, why do you have to come up?" What if there's an accident in the wilderness, you...... Don't talk about the rest, what do you want Uncle Zeng to do? ”

Uncle Zeng was silent suddenly, and he didn't speak for a while.

Tian Buyi was stunned for a moment, feeling that he seemed to have said something wrong, so he laughed dryly and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Uncle Zeng often shook his head, suddenly sighed, and said in a low voice: "It was I who went back and knelt down and begged for a few hours, and finally broke my mouth with my father, and he agreed." ”

Tian Buyi said: "Why do you have to come?" ”

Uncle Zeng often looked at the endless dark night void outside the Hongqiao, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Senior Brother Liu passed away, and my father wanted to hand over the position of the first seat of Fenghui Peak to me in the future, but he couldn't convince the public without knowing it, and I couldn't get over it in my heart." I always have to do something big, so that everyone who returns to the peak can see it, so that I can stand up straight and have a clear conscience. ”

Tian Buyi glanced at him deeply, didn't say anything more, and after a while, he gently patted Zeng Shuchang's shoulder, and Zeng Shuchang smiled and nodded.

Ahead, Wan Jian shook his sleeves one by one, walked to the middle of the Hongqiao, and arched his hand to Daoxuan, Shui Yue, and Su Ru in front of him, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's not too early, we should also go." ”

Shui Yue took a step forward, her face was solemn, she first motioned to Su Ru to divide the wine glass among the five peers in front of her, and then poured the unique wine "Qingzhu" of Xiaozhufeng one by one, and then retreated to Daoxuan's side with Su Ru, and said solemnly: "Senior Brother Wan, you are all from the same door, the road to the wilderness is far and dangerous. I hope that the ancestors of the past generations will bless you, and all your senior brothers will return triumphantly, make immortal achievements, and shine brightly! ”

Her voice was clear, and she had a peerless appearance, looking like a fairy, and in front of her, the mountain wind was suddenly cold, sweeping across the rainbow bridge, blowing everyone's clothes and hunting and flying, as if they also felt something.

The night is getting thicker, the moonlight is like water, Wan Jian is full of spirit, looking around at the people around him, suddenly a long laugh, his voice is clear, and he raises his glass to the sky.

Cang Song and the others were like this, and after a while, the five of them raised their heads together and drank the glass of Chinese wine.

Heaven and earth are in the sky, there is silence suddenly, and the moonlight and stars fall on the world.

Above the clouds, on the top of the rainbow bridge, chic white, brothers side by side.

Dao Xuan stood aside, silently watching this scene, his face was silent but his teeth were clenched, and his hands were clenched into fists in the sleeves of his robe. And beside him, Su Ru covered her mouth with her hands and couldn't speak.

Shui Yue's face had a gloomy color, and he raised his head again, and his eyes only fell on the ten thousand swords, full of admiration and admiration.

Wan Jian threw it casually, threw the wine glass into the abyss, and then arched his hand and said loudly: "Let's go!" ”

With a clear roar, I only heard the sound of the dragon's groan, the light of the turquoise sword flickered, and the man in white rose up with his sword, and he flew straight to the sky; Behind him, the four sword rays shone at the same time, brilliant and incomparably brilliant, and burst into the thick ink sky.

The starry sky is boundless in the night, and at that moment, the hot-blooded man is gone, and everything in heaven and earth is even more fearless!

Only the rainbow bridge is left, and there is only a lonely moonlight.

Su Ru suddenly let out a sad cry and threw herself into the arms of her senior sister Shui Yue, choking and unable to make a sound; Shui Yue hugged her tightly, and together with Dao Xuan, who was standing not far away, she stared deeply at the flickering light that was getting farther and farther away in the night sky.

In the northwest of Qingyun Mountain, there is a canyon where clouds and mist do not disperse all year round, and from the topography, it is a remnant vein of the Qingyun Mountain Range that stretches for thousands of miles, but it is not a short distance from the main vein of Qingyun Seven Peaks where Qingyun Gate is located. The canyon is not large, but the climate is pleasant, with mountains on both sides, dense and verdant mountains, and the roar of wild beasts in the valley.

The rainwater accumulated in the mountains forms a trickle of water and slowly falls down the ravines along the mountain side, like a curtain of water, which is very beautiful. Occasionally, an unknown flower tree is born in a mountain stream, a branch sticks out of the water curtain, and the green trees and red flowers tremble slightly at the edge of the water, causing the red to fly, adding a touch of pale red color to the mountain.

A small river in the canyon crosses, the water flow is turbulent, the clear water splashes on the shore stone and rises bursts of water mist, and the canyon is foggy and misty, and the sunlight is projected into a colorful color, although it is not as magnificent as the "Hongqiao", but it is also another pleasing to the eye.

The local people have always admired the "immortals" on Qingyun Mountain, and the Hongqiao among the six views of Qingyun is even more famous, so those who have good deeds will name this place "Rainbow Valley", which is named after the artistic conception of Hongqiao. However, although the name is good, Rainbow Valley is located in the deep mountains, and there are no people on weekdays, and it is very clean.

However, these days, there has been a lot of hustle and bustle in this canyon, especially in the past two days, many figures have appeared on both sides of the river in the Rainbow Valley, all of whom are from the Demon Sect who have been defeated in the Battle of Qingyun.

Among the many Demon Cultists, most of them looked panicked and frightened, and after the defeat in the Battle of Qingyun, they only wanted to escape back to the Northwest Wilderness as soon as possible, and often only stopped in this canyon for a while, and then left immediately. However, there are also some people who are different, in groups, and they occupy a piece of territory as soon as they come, and they look like they are strong and strong, and they are heavily guarded, so that people dare not approach, and they are the people of the Demon Sect Ghost King Sect.

In a tent at the very center of the formation.

Now, several important figures in the Demon Sect have gathered here. The aura of the old ghost king on the side of the Ghost King Sect was still very weak, and his complexion did not improve much, but he was half-sitting and half-lying on a recliner with Xiao Wan's support. And in front of him there were two groups of people, on the left hand side were the four great holy envoys of the Demon Sect, Qinglong, White Tiger, Xuanwu, and Vermilion Bird, among which Qinglong was holding a jasper urn in his hand, his face was solemn, and he sat solemnly, while the other three were standing behind him.

On the right hand side of the Ghost King, there are three people sitting, the top one is the Lord Poison God of the Ten Thousand Poison Gate, and the next two people, a man and a woman, are extremely young, and they all look like they are only in their early twenties.

The Ghost King coughed twice, breaking the silence here, and his gaze swept over everyone, but then it fell on the young man under the head of the Poison God, and said, "Yuyang, have you found your master's remains?" ”

This young man is Yu Yangzi, the disciple of Duan Hou, the master of the Demon Sect Immortal Hall, he looks young and handsome, but there is a anger between his eyebrows, but in front of the senior bosses of the Holy Sect, his expression is obviously still a little nervous and cramped, and he said, "Not yet." Saying that, he showed a little anger on his face, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid that most of them were taken away by those Qingyunmen people." ”

The ghost king shook his head silently, and looked down again, looking at the young woman who was finally low and pleasing to the eyes, but her appearance was actually very charming, and said, "Sanmiao, how is your master?" ”

This young woman named Sanmiao had a gloomy look on her face, and said in a low voice: "Master, she was stabbed by the Qingyun thief's Zhuxian Sword in the battle of Qingyun Mountain, not only broke her arm, but also suffered extremely serious internal injuries, and now she has been fainting for a long time, only afraid, only afraid of ......"
