38. The rivers and lakes are moving

"What are you doing, this smoke and rain building!"

In the box, the beggar of Song who drank high shouted to the steward who leaned over in front of him:

"What a land of fireworks! It's a thief's cave!

My nephew can be ambushed by thieves just by going out to blow the wind, if it weren't for his martial arts, I'm afraid he would have lost his life in your smoke and rain building! ”

The steward was completely unable to reply to what Song beggar said.

He secretly said in his heart, how did he provoke this beggar gang like hob meat, but the matter has already happened, if such a thing is spread by the flowers, it will be very bad for Yanyulou.

All he wanted was to put it down.

And Shen Qiu sat on the side, shaking the folding fan in his hand, he was not annoyed, his face was calm, and he let Song beggar and the steward discuss and deal with it.

Qingqing was a little worried, but after taking a closer look at the senior brother, there was no blood on his body and he was not injured, so he was relieved.

"That Demon Sect Boy is in Suzhou."

Shen Qiu thought in his heart:

"I have to ask Uncle Song to mobilize beggars, look around, or go to the hidden building...

However, the Suzhou branch of the hidden building does not seem to provide information related to the Demon Sect, which is a bit troublesome. This Suzhou is prosperous on the surface, but there are many doorways in the secret.

Speaking of which, the Demon Sect Boy was injured and didn't go to cultivate, so what did he do when he ran to this smoke and rain building? ”

Thinking of this, Shen Qiu glanced up at the top of his head.

"And the person who helped, that weird and true qi, could it be that above the third floor, there are secrets related to the Demon Sect? Mo not... The Shen family who is famous in Jiangnan? ”

At the same time, in the courtyard of the Cherished Flowers in Suzhou City, Zhang Lan was lying on the bed, allowing the woman in black in front of him to treat his chest injury.

Zhang Lan's face turned pale, and the corners of her mouth twitched from time to time, obviously in unbearable pain.

He felt the numb wound in his chest, and the pain of pins and needles was repeated.

That damn Shen Qiu, obviously a decent young man, but he was even more ruthless than him as a demon sect, and he actually quenched poison on his weapon!

Fortunately, he dodged the four small needles before, otherwise Zhang Lan would have died at this time.

"It's okay, it's just a flesh wound."

Shen Lan, who was wearing a night suit, dealt with the injury on Zhang Lan's chest, and deliberately patted his wound, and Zhang Lan grinned in pain.

She said:

"You cultivate ghost shadow magic skills, and you have resistance to toxins, and this Shen Qiu is not a strange poison in the rivers and lakes, and you won't see blood to seal your throat, this time you are lucky.

But Zhang Lan, you fought in my Yanyu Building, and almost exposed me and Xiuhe..."

Shen Lan's tone became unceremonious.

She stretched out her fingers, as if playing magic, and turned out a long dagger with a unique shape, which was pressed against Zhang Lan's neck, and she said:

"Since you and I met, I always thought you were a guy who eats with your brain, why are you so unwise this time?"

"I'm upset when I see him."

Zhang Lan said with a bad face:

"Naturally, I can't help but be angry in my heart, if I can catch him on the spot..."

"Hehe, this is what you underestimated Shen Qiu."

Shen slapped Zhang Lan on the face with a dagger, and she sneered and said:

"When I first met him, his martial arts were not enough, and he had to fight hard to kill Zhou Sheng.

But after a month in Xiaoxiang, Shen Qiu's martial arts have made great progress, and it seems that he has had an adventure. He is good at using a single knife, and this time he still doesn't have a weapon, so he will make you so miserable.

If you have a knife in your hand, you will be doomed tonight. ”

Zhang Lan snorted, and he said unconvinced:

"If it weren't for the fact that I was broken by Lin Huiyin's bones and injured on my legs, just a Shen Qiu, this young master wouldn't have paid attention to it."

"It's nature."

Shen Lan stood up, put away the dagger, and said:

"If you are in your prime, you can play Shen Qiu to death by relying on the Wandering Method, but so what?

If you lose, you lose, what excuses! You're improving, so Shen Qiu will stop where you are?

If you still think like this the next time you meet him, you won't be able to hold me up to help you. ”

Shen Lan got up, and her figure fell on the windowsill of this courtyard suddenly, like a crouching female leopard, she turned back to Zhang Lan and said:

"I have known since I was a child that this walking in the rivers and lakes should never be underestimated. If my Five Elements Sect disciples had the same attitude as you when they assassinated others, then I would have died a long time ago.

Zhang Lan, Zhang Lan, you are smart, you have good martial arts, and you are noble, so you have a trace of your father's vision, and you are proud of the people in the world.

But the problem is, you're not your number one father in the world.

You don't have the ability to dominate the world! ”

Shen everyone flashed into the night, and her last reminder fell into Zhang Lan's ears.

"Relying on that hand-held longitudinal technique to be opportunistic, it's just the middle and upper reaches of the list, Zhang Lan, I advise you to learn from your brother and use dim sum in martial arts.

I'll save you again today, so I'll do it for myself in the future." ”

Zhang Lan was the only one left in the room.

He lay on the bed, looking at the burning candle in front of him, his fists clenched tightly, and the bedding was clenched together.

Shen Lan's admonition, how could he not know?

He regarded Shen Qiu as a pig and a dolphin, and the defeat of Changsha could not be just that Shen Qiu was stained with Lin Huiyin's light.

But when we meet again tonight, the embarrassment can't be resolved.

There was silence for a long time.

Zhang Lan closed her eyes, calmed down, endured the pain, and mobilized the true qi of the demon shadow in her body.

The ghost shadow magic skills left by this father have not been practiced for a long time, probably because of their lack of understanding and the essence of the ghost shadow magic skills that are always difficult to learn.

There is also the soul-destroying ghost claw, which is also negligent in practicing on weekdays, and is beaten by Shen Qiu's wind and thunder all over the ground looking for teeth.

These two martial arts are both hands-on skills.

But the degree of destructiveness and subtlety is not at all in the same class.

Zhang Lan was a top-class martial artist, and he should have crushed Shen Qiu.

Superb skills, without hard work, are not omnipotent.

He is also flexible in his free travel, and is often ridiculed by the Shen family as a first-class escaper, and if you think about it carefully, he really doesn't like to fight very much.

But as a demon sect son, he was born troubled, and he entered this river and lake, how could he avoid the battle to the death?

"Shen Qiu!"

Zhang Lan gritted his teeth, and he said:

"Next time we meet, Young Master Ben will make you look good! I actually dared to remove the picture of the beauty out of the bath carefully drawn by Young Master Ben, and ruined my beloved thing...

Unforgivable! ”

"Today's shame will be repaid tomorrow!"

---------------

In the Western Regions, at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, in a valley under the snow, the main altar of the Seven Peerless Gates is located here.

A doorman dressed in Western Regions costumes, with extremely white skin and a slightly hunched back, hurriedly walked in a hurry.

His name is Kutuo, and he is the confidant of the master of the Seven Peerless Sects, his talent is limited, and his martial arts are really not first-class, but he was born in the dark of his heart, and he is very loyal to the master of the Sect, and he is one of the heads of the General Altar of the Seven Peerless Sects.

Kutuo's face was serious, and he walked all the way through the pavilion corridor of the mountaintop mansion, and finally walked into the study of the master of the Seven Peerless Gates.

Behind the desk made of the whole Tianshan cold stone, the door was in the middle of nowhere, and he was closing his eyes and recuperating.

He's a young man.

It is 7 points similar to Zhang Lan's face, but compared to Zhang Lan's suave appearance, this Seven Peerless Master has a calm and gloomy temperament.

"Door master, there is a flying eagle from Jiangnan."

Kuda, who was extremely white-skinned, leaned down, not daring to look at the face of the doorman, and handed a letter to the desk with both hands.

"Jiangnan?"

Zhang Chu still closed his eyes, and he said in a calm tone:

"Is it my unsuccessful brother again, who has come to ask for something strange?"

"Not really."

The hunchbacked guy whispered:

"This letter was sent by the rudder of the Five Elements Gate."

"Oh?"

Only then did Zhang Chu open his eyes.

The strange thing is that this Zhang Lan's biological brother has different pupil colors in his eyes.

The left eye has a Han black pupil, but the right eye is inherited from his mother's Western Regions blood, with a hint of green.

If you look closely, it's like a cat's eye, which is quite weird.

He picked up the belief in front of him, shook it away, glanced at it, and narrowed his eyes.

"Father's relics?"

Zhang Chu said softly:

"Second brother, second brother, you actually did such a thing without me.

I really looked down on you in the past. But now that he knows where his father's relics are, he loses his hand... It's really unproductive! insulted my Zhang family's reputation.

Kuda, gather the elite in the door!

Since it is my Zhang family's family matter, it is inconvenient for the other eight elders to participate, so I will stay in the door to supervise the affairs. ”

Zhang Chu stood up and said casually to the doorman who was lying down:

"You take someone tonight, set off with me, and go to Suzhou."

"Yes!"

Kuda turned to leave, and after taking a few steps, he heard the master of the door ask:

"A few days ago, there was news from Uncle Beihan's side, saying that the Red Lian Demon Monarch and the Qingyang Demon Monarch both wanted to go to Suzhou, has this news been confirmed?"

"It's confirmed, Door Master."

Kuda replied respectfully:

"I waited for the eyeliner installed in the Five Elements Gate to report truthfully, and on the side of Qingyang Gate, the rudder of the Liangguang Land also replied, and the news collected by Elder Beihan is true."

Zhang Chu put his left hand behind his back, and his right hand played with the jade wrench on his thumb.

He walked to the door, looked at the looming scenery of the Tianshan Mountains in front of him, and after a while, he said:

"This is strange, a little Suzhou, what kind of secrets, how can I attract the seven sects of my Demon Sect, where are the three going?"

"It's not just three, Master."

The white-skinned, leaning body, and with strong traces of the people of the Western Regions, the doorman said cautiously behind Zhang Chu:

"The Holy Fire Sect, since a few years ago, has been sending people to the south of the Central Plains Jiangnan, although the number of people is small, but it has not been cut off every year, it should be looking for something."

Zhang Chu stopped playing with the fingers of the jade wrench.

He said:

"My Uncle Yang Tao, who is dedicated to preaching in the Western Regions, is also interested in such a land south of the Yangtze River?

So much better! ”

Zhang Chu said:

"In my name, send a messenger to the Holy Volcano, saying that I will go to Suzhou in the near future to look for my father's traces, and if Uncle Yang Tao is interested, he may as well go with me.

I also happened to take the opportunity to contact Qu Xie and Ai Dacha to get in touch with each other, and the seven sects of my Demon Sect are in the same breath and scattered in Tiannan and Haibei, which is too raw, and it is not good.

In addition, since there is such a grand event in Suzhou, I am afraid that it will not be beautiful when I go alone. ”

Zhang Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and he said:

"Go to the Blood Demon Cave, please come with me."

Kutuo's body behind him trembled, and it seemed that the Blood Demon Cave was also a very terrifying place for the people of the Seven Peerless Sects.

But he didn't dare to disobey the order of the door master, so he answered and retreated.

Zhang Chu returned to the desk, he picked up the letter and read it carefully.

"Shen Qiu?"

The Lord of the Seven Peerless Sects read this name, and after a little thought, he said:

"Could this be some kind of decent genius, just like that Sword Monarch, Lu Guizang, and Dongfang Ce? But whether it is rumors in the rivers and lakes, or on the list of rivers and lakes, there is no name for him. ”

-----------------

Mount Tai, Jade Emperor Peak, Jade Emperor Palace.

This is the Taoist holy land called "Daomen Shuangyue" along with Xiaoxiang Taiyue Mountain, in the inner hall that is wrapped by layers of buildings built by successive dynasties.

The people of the Jade Emperor Palace were already in chaos at this time.

These Dao Masters who are wearing black Taoist robes, with beards and fairy bones, will no longer have a leisurely temperament.

One by one, under the command of the higher-ups, they were looking for something in the inner sanctum.

Not long after, several Jade Emperor Palace masters heard the news and hurried over.

These guys' outfits are much more exaggerated.

They wore celestial robes and hostas on their heads.

Or wear a high crown of Daomen, hold an elaborate whisk in their hands, and two people carry mottled ancient swords.

All of them are fairy bones, long beards fluttering, solemn faces, although they are old, but the pace is steady, walking fast, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are really immortals.

An old Taoist with yin and yang fish adorned behind a Taoist robe stood at the entrance of the inner hall, looking for a disciple with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, like a porcelain doll, he opened his mouth and asked:

"Yunji, Lao Dao heard that your master is gone? When did you not see it? ”

The little Taoist priest named Yun Ji was so anxious that his eyes were red at this time, and he almost wanted to shed tears.

Hearing Chong and Uncle Chong's inquiry, there were several uncles next to him who were not angry and arrogant, and this ten-year-old little Taoist chief was a little frightened.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Tell my uncle, my master didn't see him last night.

Last night there was a letter sent by the Harrier Eagle into the inner sanctum, and when my master read it, he burned it in the furnace and disappeared this morning. ”

The little Taoist priest of Yunji secretly glanced at Uncle Zhang, he lowered his voice and said:

"Missing together, and... And..."

"What else?"

Another veteran with a sword and a fiery temper asked:

"You child, how can you speak? Didn't your master take away the treasure book in the door? Or is it an ancient road scroll? ”

"Neither!"

Yunji Xiaodao was reprimanded, so he subconsciously straightened his body, he looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and said to the uncles:

"Master also took away the Wei Dao Tai Ah Sword!"

"What?!"

When the old Daoists heard the news, the solemn expressions on their faces could no longer be maintained, as if they had broken their work.

They looked at each other with a look of astonishment in their eyes.

Only at the beginning of the inquiry, the old Taoist who was dotted with yin and yang fish behind him, and the old Taoist who held the dust in his hand still maintained his calmness, he thought about it, and said to the senior brothers behind him:

"The palace master has always acted in a disciplined manner.

If he disappeared alone, Lao Dao would still be worried, but since he took Tai'a Jian away, we don't have to worry. ”

The old man waved his dust and said:

"With the martial arts of the palace master, and then holding the sword of Weidao Tai'a, this world is so big, where can I go? He must have received a secret message, and he didn't have time to inform me and wait, so he went down the mountain to remove the Demon Guardian Dao.

Let's all disperse, go and appease the doorman...

My Jade Emperor Palace is an authentic sect, when did I ever have such a panicked image? Unorthodox! ”

The old Taoist looked at the panicked scene in the inner hall, and waved the dust, quite displeased.

He waved his hand, and the brothers behind him went to maintain order.

After everyone left, the old Taoist reopened his eyes, and he looked at the little Taoist priest in front of him.

He asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Yun Ji, has your master shown signs of 'Soul Scattering Disease' in recent days?"

Yun Ji Xiaodao's face was a little pale, he hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slightly.

The old Taoist's face changed slightly.

There was also a flash of sorrow in his eyes, and he said to the little Taoist:

"Yunji, your master has always treated you like a parent, Lao Dao and your master are also brothers of the same generation, don't lie to Lao Dao, tell me honestly, where did your master go?"

The little Taoist lowered his head, and under the gaze of the old Taoist priest, he played with his fingers a little uncomfortably.

After a long time, he said in a voice like a mosquito:

"Master, I went to Suzhou..."

"What about the letter?"

Lao Dao asked again:

"Who sent it?"

The trail chief sighed, and he said:

"There is a stamp of Wulong Villa, it should be sent by Renhao Daxia."

The dust in the old man's hand trembled, he twisted his beard, and said softly:

"The leader of the Martial Arts Alliance also went to Suzhou? It seems that something big must happen, but the junior brother's soul disorder... Alas, Yunji, go change into ordinary clothes and prepare some dry food. ”

"Tonight, you go down the mountain with me."
