Under the Nine Shades, the Yama Palace, full of raging fires, scorching people crying and screaming, bloody and scorching, smelling and vomiting, Zhang Xiaofan only felt that the world was spinning, but only in a moment, he suddenly returned to many years ago, that calm small mountain village, the breeze is like a promise, faint and pleasant.

However, a thunderclap resounded in the sky, the sky was cloudy like a mountain, like the waves of the angry sea, and in a blink of an eye, the kind and kind villagers turned into dead corpses like a mountain, and the peaceful village became a hell on earth!

"No!"

He cried out with all his might, tensing his muscles, and a piercing pain came from his chest, causing him to gasp, tremble, and wake up.

"Ah, wake up, Xiao Fan is awake." The familiar voice, which was almost engraved in the depths of my heart, sounded for the first time, with a little worry and joy. Zhang Xiaofan opened his eyes and saw Tian Ling'er.

It seems that she is back to the past, she is dressed in red, with amber and vermilion silk still wrapped around her waist, her hair is soft and draped from her white neck, lining her somewhat pale face, as well as those bright eyes, pure pupils, Zhang Xiaofan even saw his own shadow from there.

Masters!

He shouted in the depths of his heart.

Zhang Xiaofan looked at her without even blinking his eyes, if this moment became eternal, how good it would be!

In the house, everyone from Dazhufeng gathered around, Tian Buyi stepped forward to check his pulse, nodded and said, "Okay, it's okay." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they all showed reassuring smiles.

Zhang Xiaofan glanced around, and saw that everyone in Dazhufeng was here, he was lying on the bed in the room, all the senior brothers were standing on the ground, and Tian Buyi and Su Ru were sitting on the chairs in front of the bed.

"What's wrong?"

Tian Ling'er smiled and said: "You won't forget it so quickly, you competed with Zhou Hang of Fenghui Peak during the day, and when you came back, you fainted, which scared people a lot, but fortunately it was no big deal." ”

Zhang Xiaofan moved, and sure enough, in addition to being a little tired, only his chest was a little painful, and there was nothing else to do, so he couldn't help but be surprised: "How can this be, I obviously have ...... on my body"

Tian Buyi intercepted: "Those burnt ones are just skin wounds, just rub them with my Qingyunmen secret elixir, you only have a heavy blow to the chest on your body now, but the bone meridians have not shifted and vibrate, just rest for a few days." ”

Su Ru, who was sitting on the side, smiled and said, "Xiaofan, you haven't thanked the master yet, if he hadn't personally rescued him this time, you would have to recuperate for at least half a year from the external injury." ”

Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback, and was very surprised in his heart, but his gratitude was still overflowing, and he said in a low voice: "The disciple is incompetent, and he has dragged down the master again." ”

Tian Buyi snorted, his face turned cold, and said, "Where are you incompetent, now you are the most capable person in Dazhufeng!" ”

Zhang Xiaofan was shocked again, he didn't know what Tian Buyi meant by this sentence, so he had to say: "Master, I, no, like Yuye, Senior Sister, Ah, and Senior Brothers, they are far better than me, I don't dare" He said as he spoke, but his voice lowered, and he only looked at the senior brothers standing in front of him and Tian Ling'er's faces were a little strange at this time, especially the senior brother standing in front of everyone, his face looked very pale today, and the whole person was no longer full of vitality on weekdays, and he looked crumbling.

Su Ru sighed and said, "Daxin, move a chair for your senior brother to sit on." ”

Lu Daxin hurriedly responded, took a chair from the side and put it next to Song Daren, Song Daren wanted to refuse, but his body shook a few times, and finally sat down and gasped.

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned and said, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Song Daren smiled bitterly, but did not speak. On the other hand, the fourth elder He Dazhi said: "Little junior brother, now that the Seven Veins Martial Arts have reached the fourth round, there are only two people left in our Dazhu Peak, you and Yuye." With that, he couldn't help but glance around.

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, then remembered something, turned his head to Tian Ling'er who was sitting at the head of the bed and said, "Senior sister, then you are ...... too"

Tian Ling'er's expression darkened, and she said in a low voice: "I am also defeated." ”

Zhang Xiaofan looked at her with a disappointed expression, and felt a pain in his heart, but at this moment, he couldn't allow him to think wildly.

Tian Buyi looked Zhang Xiaofan up and down, sank his face, and said, "Old Seven." ”

Zhang Xiaofan's heart jumped, only listening to Tian Buyi's words There seemed to be a faint anger, and then seeing that the master's face was extremely ugly, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid, and said, "Yes, master, what's ......?"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Tian Buyi stared at Zhang Xiaofan and said categorically: "How did you come to practice the Dao Law in this body?" ”

Zhang Xiaofan made a loud "buzz" in his head, opened his mouth wide, and didn't know how to speak for a while. He looked at everyone in the room one by one, and saw that the senior brothers who were usually familiar and kind also remained silent at this time, and there was doubt in their eyes when they looked at him.

It's no wonder that a little junior brother who is extremely stupid on weekdays suddenly became a blockbuster, and no one can accept it in a short time.

Under Tian Buyi's aggressive gaze, sweat trickled down Zhang Xiaofan's forehead, and for a moment, he almost rushed out to tell Master Sù that he was practicing a different sect of exercises behind his back, however, when the words came to his mouth, he finally endured it.

He is no longer the ignorant young man who didn't know the world five years ago, and in the conversations with the senior brothers on weekdays, he already knew the name of Tianyin Temple, and also knew the true identity of the thin old monk named Puzhi that night. Over the years, he has practiced the "Great Brahman" practice alone, but deep down, his gratitude to Puzhi has never diminished.

"I, no, the disciple is stupid, and I haven't made much progress in cultivating the truth over the years,"

Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head, not daring to face Tian Buyi's gaze, and said slowly: "A few days ago, the disciple suddenly found that he could drive some things, but the disciple himself couldn't believe it, so, so he didn't dare to tell the master and the master, I didn't expect ......."

Tian Buyi sneered and said, "I didn't expect it to be a blockbuster this time!" ”

Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly said, "No, no, Master"

Tian Buyi was so easy to deceive the past, and said coldly at the moment: "You said that you can drive things, but this must at least have the cultivation of the fourth layer of the Yuqing Realm, Daren passed on your first three layers, I passed on your fourth layer, and as for the fifth layer, ......"

"Can you tell me, a lonely and unheard master, how did you succeed in cultivating without the exercises?"

By the end of his speech, his voice was extremely cold, with a bit of anger, and everyone changed their faces when they heard it.

Zhang Xiaofan stopped talking, and the room was silent.

For a long time, just when Tian Buyi's face was getting more and more ugly, and everyone's worries were getting heavier and heavier, Jiang Yuye slowly walked out of the queue, he first bowed to Su Ru and Tian Buyi, and then said: "Uncle Su, Uncle Tian, it was the disciple who made the initiative and passed on the exercises of the fifth and sixth layers to Xiao Fan. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Yuye paused, looked at Tian Buyi's expressionless fat face, pretended to be bitter and smiled: "Uncle Su, Uncle Tian, you also know that I am like a brother and sister to Xiao Fan, and I also have some hidden selfish intentions in this session of the 'Seven Veins Martial Arts', so I ......"

Tian Buyi was not moved at all, and said coldly: "So what? ”

"I want Xiao Fan to be a blockbuster in the 'Seven Veins Martial Arts'! Even if he can't make it to the finals, at least I hope he can fight for Dazhufeng! ”

While whispering like this, Jiang Yuye's eyes rolled and said: "And Uncle Su, Uncle Tian, you don't know that Uncle Cangsong is extremely domineering in doing things, and the disciple naturally hopes that Xiao Fan will be ......."

At this point, he shut up.

Jiang Yuye hunched his waist and made a saluting appearance, as if he was already waiting for Su Ru and Tian Bu's punishment.

And Zhang Xiaofan on the side buried his head deeply, only staring at the small piece of land close to him under him, without looking to the side even a little more, and said in a low voice: "Master, I'm sorry, please punish me." ”

Everyone was moved, Tian Buyi was even more angry, Su Ru frowned, and said, "Do you know what the consequences of teaching the 'Taiji Xuanqing Dao' of the same sect without authorization on a rainy night?" ”

"At best, it will face the wall for decades, and at worst, it will be abolished and driven out of the clouds."

Tian Buyi sneered and said, "Since you know why you want to do such a thing?" ”

"Maybe there was some lack of thought in this matter, but the disciple felt that he had a clear conscience from beginning to end." Hunched over, Jiang Yuye lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan's body trembling on the ground, and he didn't know what mood and expression he was in at the moment, there seemed to be someone in this room, and his breathing suddenly became short. I only heard him in a low voice and said, "It's all the disciple's fault, please punish me!" ”

Tian Buyi stood up, with a clatter, the chair under him was torn apart and fell to the ground, everyone changed color, only to see him say angrily to Zhang Xiaofan: "It's all your fault, hehe, this is not something you can bear alone!" ”

Zhang Xiaofan raised his head suddenly, looked at Tian Buyi, and saw that the master's face was full of anger, but there was no trace of exaggerated expression, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

"How can this be?" He recited a sentence painfully in his heart, when Jiang Yuye privately passed on his method, he didn't tell him this.

The room was dead silent, and no one spoke a word.

All that remained was the high and low sound of anxious breathing.

A person's heart, in this silence, was so quietly and coldly cold, as if looking at himself so sensibly and madly, Zhang Xiaofan closed his eyes and lowered his head again, like a desperate person slowly taking the last step.

"The disciple is not good, please punish the master!"

"Bang!"

A strong force surged like a sea of mountains, Zhang Xiaofan's whole person flew backwards, slammed into the wall, fell to the ground in the dust, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Everyone changed color, led by Song Daren, and knelt down, and the other disciples all knelt down in front of Tian Buyi, and said, "Master, you spare the junior brother and junior brother in the rainy night!" ”

Song Daren even said: "Master, I, cough cough, I, it was I who couldn't teach, so I let the little junior brother do something wrong, the fault is all in me, you can spare the little junior brother." ”

In the midst of everyone's pleading, Tian Ling'er was angry, walked to Zhang Xiaofan's side step by step, and said: "Father, mother, Xiaofan and Yuye are also unintentional, please forgive them!" ”

Tian Buyi looked at these disciples kneeling at his feet, and then at Zhang Xiaofan, who was still in the corner, his face was full of anger, he snorted angrily, and walked out with a flick of his robe. Su Ru glanced at everyone, shook her head and sighed softly, and said to Song Daren and the others: "You all get up." As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Xiaofan in the distance, and said to Song Daren, who was helped to stand up by He Dazhi: "You go to take care of some Xiaofan, I want to go and see your master." ”

Song Daren and the others hurriedly said, "Yes, Master." ”

Su Ru sighed softly again and walked out.

Inside the house, everyone looked at each other, and after a while, Jiang Yuye walked over slowly, turned his back to everyone, and helped Zhang Xiaofan up, Zhang Xiaofan had blood foaming out of her mouth, lying in the crook of her arm, and actually smiled.

At that moment, a cool teardrop quietly dripped down the pool of blood on his face.

-- Go to the investigation --

At this time, it was already late at night, and above the sea of clouds, the clouds were still drifting, as beautiful as a fairyland.

Tian Buyi stood in the square, looking up at the sky.

But I saw that the night sky was full of stars, and the moon was as cold as frost.

Behind him, there was a familiar sound of footsteps, Su Ru walked to his side, looked up at the starry sky, and said with a faint smile: "Are you in a better mood?" ”

Tian Buyi snorted, but did not speak.

Su Ru smiled slightly and said, "You can deceive Daren and Ling'er, but you just can't hide it from me." With the power of your sleeve robe, I'm afraid that you are deliberately shaking Xiao Fan's chest meridians, so that the blood accumulated in his chest is forced out of his body, right? ”

Tian Buyi looked at the night sky and said nothing.

Su Ru shook his head and said, "It's hundreds of years old, why are you still so desperate to save face!" ”

Tian Buyi turned his head, glared at his wife, and said, "It's not that you haven't seen it, that stinky boy looks like something, 'Master, please punish me!' ’”

He learned from Zhang Xiaofan's tone and said angrily: "It's obvious that he was wrong, but he still said it very aggrieved, but it was I, the master, who bullied him and forced him?" How unreasonable! ”

Su Ru glanced back in the direction of the accommodation and said, "I don't believe you didn't see it?" ”

Tian Buyi said: "What? ”

Su Ru said lightly: "Xiao Fan didn't deny the private rumor on a rainy night. ”

Tian Buyi snorted.

Su Ru smiled: "You can see it too." Xiao Fan has stayed in Dazhufeng in the past five years and has never gone out, and he can only be privately passed on to him by our disciples. Rainy nights have always been good with Xiaofan,

In recent days, I have been observing Xiaofan and practicing alone, presumably because of this. ”

Tian Buyi seemed to have thought of his wife's words, and there was no surprise on his face, but there was still anger, and he said unwillingly: "Even if this is the case, but you see that Zhang Xiaofan, this kid, in front of so many disciples, insists on not saying anything to my mouth, it's really damned!" ”

Su Ru smiled, patted her husband lightly on the shoulder, and said angrily: "Aren't you also a character who doesn't admit your mistakes, and you still go to strange children's houses." Besides, Xiao Fan also wants to win glory for Dazhufeng by doing this, this heart is very rare! ”

Tian Buyi rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything more.

Su Ru glanced at him and said, "Then how are you going to end up when you go back?" The crime of stealing art from the back teacher can be big or small, or we will look at the face of the rainy night, and let Xiaofan return to Dazhufeng tomorrow, and face the wall in the back mountain for thirty or fifty years. ”

Tian Buyi was stunned for a moment, snorted, but said: "Finally, my disciple has only one and a geek, wouldn't it be cheaper for him to face the wall Cangsong and Shang Zhengliang, don't think about it, whether he lives or dies tomorrow, let him continue to participate in the competition." ”

Su Ruyan smiled, her demeanor was moving, she walked up and took her husband's hand, and said with a smile: "I knew that you were hard-mouthed and soft-hearted." ”

Tian Buyi's obese face actually turned red, but he immediately returned to normal, glanced around, and said, "Old husband and wife, you are not afraid of other people's jokes." ”

Su Ru glanced at him obliquely, her eyes were full of smiles, and she said, "What, are you scared of being the first seat now?" Three hundred years ago, it was also on this Tongtian Peak, when the Seven Veins would compete in martial arts, you secretly ran to my residence late at night and called me here, at that time, my master Master Zhenyan and Senior Sister Shuiyue were nearby, and I never saw you afraid! ”

Tian Buyi snorted and said with a smile: "Your master was really more than six hundred years old at that time, and he was already old and confused, so I am not afraid; As for your fierce and vicious senior sister, I have long seen that she is not pleasing to the eye, and I will be lonely for the rest of my life, but I still have to drag you out, I hate her too late, where will I be afraid of her! ”

Su Ru glared at him and said, "Don't say bad things about my teacher and sister!" They are very affectionate to me. ”

Tian Buyi shrugged his shoulders and did not speak. Looking at it in the moonlight, his short and fat body shook a little, quite funny, looking at his expression, there was still a little smugness, no matter how good they are to you, you don't mean to marry me.

Su Ru looked at it in her eyes and couldn't help but sneer: "It's not serious." ”

Tian Buyi was in a good mood, reached out to hold his wife's smooth and silky jade hand, and walked slowly in the sea of clouds

"By the way, I forgot something important."

"What's wrong?"

"That stinky boy used a burning stick as a magic treasure so much that he forgot to take it for a look at it just now when he was angry."

"Xiao Fan, he still practices privately, and I'm afraid I don't know much about the manipulation and use of magic weapons, do you think it's better to find a time to guide him?"

"Hmph, let's see. Last night, the senior brother in charge called a few of us heads, saying that after communicating with Lingzun with spiritism, he found that Lingzun seemed to have made a move because he sensed the evil aura of a certain murderous thing, but then he couldn't find it again. ”

"What then?"

"What else can I do, if I can't find it, I can't find it, Lingzun has lived for at least six thousand years, your master is confused at the age of six hundred, and it's not strange that Lingzun is confused now!"
