Chapter 228, the top four

This duel between the two talented women of Qingyunmen has won people's attention from the beginning, but no one could have expected that this duel would stage such a dizzying change even in the end.

To tell the truth, although Tian Ling'er's cultivation is also good, most people still believe that Lu Xueqi will win... Although the final result seems to be the same, the latter's overwhelming strength is still far beyond most people's expectations.

… Of course, if the matter had ended here, it might indeed have attracted some discussion from the younger disciples, but it would be far more shocking than it is now!

Yes, that sharp blue sword light was so fast and terrifying that even the Dao Xuan Sect leaders didn't come back to their senses. At the moment when Tian Ling'er was about to die, first a young male disciple of Qingyunmen sacrificed his life to save him, blocking between the sword light and Tian Ling'er, and then an extremely unfamiliar, but unpredictable figure suddenly intervened, crushing the terrifying sword light with one hand, and protecting Tian Ling'er and the two behind him...

The unexpected staggering of this was really overwhelming, and when they came back to their senses, they could only see Mo Qianqian, who was originally standing in front of Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Ling'er, glance at the direction of the first seat with an unkind face, and then rolled up his sleeve robe and left with the two juniors of Da Zhufeng.

…

Fortunately, Mo Qianqian made a timely move, Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi were not injured, and Tian Linger was just delirious because she was temporarily affected by the spell. Although the method used by the caster is exquisite and the means are also very hidden, for Mo Qianzhen, who is familiar with the method, it is only a snap of his fingers to unlock the spell on Tian Ling'er's body.

"Senior sister... Senior sister, is she okay? ”

Xiao Fan obviously hasn't recovered from the frightening scene just now. Looking at Tian Ling'er's pale face, he was distressed and worried, and he panicked for a while.

"It's okay, it's just a temporary fainting."

Mo Qianzhen shook his head lightly, and at the same time waved his right hand, drawing a faint phantom in midair. At the same time, a streamer of light condensed in mid-air and fell into Tian Ling'er's forehead - in the blink of an eye, although the little girl had not really woken up, her face was much more ruddy.

"Okay, then it's okay, you can take your senior sister back to your master."

Mo Qianqian withdrew her hand, then closed her eyes and stopped talking... I'm afraid no one knows the whole story better than him, but the more he understands the truth, the more confused Mo Qianqian becomes. Unable to calm the mind.

He frowned rarely, and faintly showed a look of distress - this is the first time Zhang Xiaofan has seen such a demon fox, and since the senior sister has been temporarily unhindered, Xiaofan, who has calmed down, does not dare to delay outside any longer, and hurriedly picked up Tian Ling'er and went back to the direction of the test room...

And as Zhang Xiaofan's figure gradually faded away, Mo Qianzhen finally slowly opened his eyes. He stared into the unknown distance, but his heart was full of thoughts. No clues and directions found.

Just now, the reason why he was able to save Zhang Xiaofan and the others one step ahead of Dao Xuan. Although it was true that he relied on the miraculous effect of "Ink Garan", more importantly, from the very beginning, he had sensed the special magic trick triggered by someone! And what is frightening is that this technique is not any kind of secret technique in the Qingyun Sect, and it is not even a technique that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Demon Sect... This "heavenly magic sound" is real. It is passed down from all the wonderful heavens, and it is engraved in the Fox Clan's Gong Gong Stone Room!

…

Pine, pine again!

Originally, the first seat of this betrayed Dragon Head Peak should have climbed the high branch of the Demon Sect. actually planned the disaster that almost destroyed the entire Qingyunmen, but now, things have become more complicated...

Mo Qianqian... No, here or should we call him Liuying, he knows very well that the secret of the "Heavenly Magic Sound" has long since been turned into the dust of history along with the entire wonderful heavens, and he will be buried forever in the hell that does not see the light of day. But today, the magic trick that had obviously disappeared without a trace actually reappeared in front of him, and it was even from the hands of Cangsong Daoren...

How could this not make him frightened?

For Liuying, Zhong Miaotian's past is the scar he is most unwilling to touch... Originally, he thought that the painful past of a thousand years ago had long been over, but now it seems that this story is far from over.

In front of his eyes, those eyes with leisurely eyes, spanning thousands of years, shone on him, like a heavy shackle of a thousand catties, so that he can never be freed.

Wronged, wronged...

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

From Mo Qianqi blocking Lu Xueqi's life-threatening sword light to when he left with the two of them, the time it took was only a moment. The people present said that it was those ordinary disciples, even if they were the first seats, few of them came back to their senses...

Of course, among all of them, Cang Song naturally came into contact with Mo Qianqing's sharp gaze - but before that, he had absolute confidence in the technique he had mastered, and who would have thought that he would be recognized by Mo Qianzhen at a glance!?

However, after all, he is a "master" who can lurk in front of Dao Xuan Zhenren for many years. Although I was shocked and inexplicable, I didn't show the slightest sign on the surface...

In this way, today's game ended hastily, and the next day, the sun rose as usual, and the Qingyun disciples, including the people of Dazhu Peak, came to the square, only to find that four of the original eight rings had been dismantled, and the rest were arranged in four directions, southeast, northwest, and north.

Tian Buyi and Su Ru walked ahead, Tian Ling'er's injuries seemed to have healed overnight, and among the several people, Zhang Xiaofan, who was the only one to advance, walked among the crowds, and he was a little flattered who had never been taken so seriously, looked back, and whispered to Du Bishu beside him: "Sixth Senior Brother, is Senior Brother seriously injured, how can it be to the point where he can't walk?" ”

Du Bishu shook his head and said, "Master showed it to Senior Brother in the morning, saying that in the competition yesterday, he and Senior Brother Chang Jian of Nagato were too intense, and one main attack and one main defense, fighting back and forth to lose both sides, hurting the meridians, I am afraid that the damage to my cultivation will not be light." ”

Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback and said, "Even the senior brother can't fight him." I competed with Senior Brother Chang Jian today, wouldn't I, wouldn't I have been beaten by him? ”

Du Bishu rolled his eyes and said, "If it is according to common sense, it is naturally so, but according to everyone's guess, when you competed in the first two days, the rest of the senior brothers of the various veins gambled that you lost the majority!" ”

Zhang Xiaofan was speechless, scratching his head a little shyly. After all, I couldn't speak, so I had to keep my mouth shut.

Under the biggest ring in the north, there are a lot of people, needless to say, it is naturally Lu Xueqi who competes there today - although the competition between her and Tian Ling'er yesterday was full of twists and turns, it ended with this woman's victory. Tian Buyi glanced at that place, snorted, he naturally didn't have a good impression of the person who defeated his daughter, and immediately led his disciples to the west ring.

didn't take a few steps, Zhang Xiaofan's body was shocked. Seeing a group of people in front of him coming from the oblique time, led by an old man with an old appearance, and the one walking side by side with him beside him was Zeng Shushu, and behind the two of them, there were more than a hundred Fenghuifeng disciples following him, Zhang Xiaofan saw the group of people from Senior Brother Gao, but he didn't see Peng Chang.

As if noticing Zhang Xiaofan's searching gaze, the two parties passed by. Zeng Shushu suddenly said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Senior Brother Peng didn't come, he is recuperating in his residence!" ”

Zhang Xiaofan smiled reluctantly. But I saw that Zeng Shushu's face was grim, and his eyes seemed to be cold.

The old man who took the lead was naturally the first Zeng Shuchang of Fenghui Peak. He glanced at Zhang Xiaofan, Zhang Xiaofan only felt that although the old man's gaze was not sharp, it was extremely profound, as if he had seen his deep heart at a glance.

He couldn't help but wince. At this moment, I only heard Tian Buyi say: "Senior Brother Zeng is good." ”

Uncle Zeng often replied: "Hello Senior Brother Tian, I heard that there is a genius named Zhang Xiaofan under your sect, and his Taoism is peculiar. And they beat him to death, wounded him badly. ”

Zhang Xiaofan's face changed, and he lost his voice: "What, Senior Brother Peng is so seriously injured?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the disciples of Fenghuifeng were in an uproar, only to feel that this person was really vicious, and he was surprised when he hurt people, showing that he had no intention or ridiculed Peng Chang - this was wronged Zhang Xiaofan, yesterday's competition, it was obvious that Peng Chang himself used all his strength to fight for his life, but he was resisted by Zhang Xiaofan plainly, and under the shock of his blood and blood, he was seriously injured... Of course, the reason for this is not without the resentment that he lost to a stupid boy.

But these are things that the people do not know.

Uncle Zeng Chang's eyes flashed with anger, but he couldn't attack in the face of the younger generations, so he had to smile coldly and say to Tian Buyi: "Senior Brother Tian, the good apprentice you taught!" ”

Tian Buyi originally frowned, thinking that Zhang Xiaofan, a stinky boy, couldn't speak, but when he heard Uncle Zeng often say this, he seemed to be a little ridiculous, Tian Buyi was already strong and short-handed, Zhang Xiaofan was so angry with Da Zhufeng this time, and immediately smiled at Uncle Zeng: "Where is it, Senior Brother Zeng has won the award." Xiao Fan, come over and see Uncle Zeng. ”

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned, but Uncle Zeng's face changed, his sleeves waved, and he said coldly: "No need." With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Zeng Shushu glanced at Zhang Xiaofan and said lightly: "I didn't see that you were hiding deeply, so I begged Senior Brother Peng's subordinates to show mercy, but I didn't expect it to hurt him." ”

Zhang Xiaofan was anxious and said, "I didn't"

Halfway through his words, Zeng Shushu had already turned around and left, Feng Huifeng and everyone followed, and their eyes were cold, Zhang Xiaofan felt sad, but at this moment, he suddenly saw that in the crowd, Senior Brother Gao walked in front of him, but suddenly blinked.

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, but Senior Brother Gao had already walked away.

Tian Buyi glanced at Feng Huifeng and everyone, smiled coldly, waved his hand and led everyone to the west of today's competition. When they came to the nearest place, everyone found that there were 200 people gathered here, and their heads were staggering, looking at this way, except for Lu Xueqi's one, the most lively place in Yunhai Square was here.

Zhang Xiaofan gasped and whispered to the senior brother beside him: "There are so many people, that senior brother Chang Jian is very powerful, right?" ”

Everyone laughed, and He Dazhi said seriously: "Senior Brother Chang's Taoism is profound, it is needless to say, but I think most of these people still come to see you, junior brother!" ”

Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback and said, "How, how come?" ”

He Dazhi snorted and said, "As of today, there are only eight people left in the Seven Veins Martial Arts, and the biggest dark horse among them is none other than you. Who wouldn't want to come and see how many mouths or hands you have? ”

Zhang Xiaofan was dumbfounded.

Tian Buyi led everyone to the stage, and along the way, seeing that they were in the line of Dazhufeng, the crowd retreated one after another and made way for them. Tian Buyi looked around and saw that there were quite a few Nagato disciples in the surrounding crowd. I think it's because there are Chang Arrows of Nagato in today's competition, so there are more Changmen disciples who come to watch, but I haven't seen a few elders of Nagato, and Dao Xuanzhen, the head of Qingyunmen, is not here.

Tian Buyi frowned, and whispered to Su Ru beside him: "Why didn't the senior brother of the head of the sect come, are there any other disciples in the Changmen to compete?" ”

Su Ru shook his head and said, "No, for some reason this year, the qualifications of the Changmen disciples are not very good." Now only Chang Jian is left. ”

Tian Buyi groaned for a while, and walked to the middle of the stage, where five or six chairs were placed, but only a white-bearded old man sat there. Seeing Tian Buyi and the others coming, the old man also stood up.

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, and recognized that the white-bearded old man was the one sitting in the audience when he competed with Chu Yuhong the day before yesterday.

The white-bearded old man obviously remembered Zhang Xiaofan, and his eyes drifted to Zhang Xiaofan, which showed a bit of surprise and doubt, but then he still said to Tian Buyi: "Senior Brother Tian." I didn't expect your disciple to have a talent this year. ”

Tian Buyi seemed to have a good relationship with this old man, and smiled. said: "Senior Brother Fan has won the award, please sit down." ”

At this time, the bell behind the stage rang, and Tian Buyi turned around and said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Old Seven, you come to the stage." ”

Hundreds of eyes in the field swept over and fell on Zhang Xiaofan's body. Zhang Xiaofan has never been stared at by so many people in his life. There was a fever on his face, and he answered: "Yes." As he spoke, he turned his head and didn't dare to look behind him, and walked towards the stage.

didn't take a few steps, but was pulled by Su Ru, Zhang Xiaofan was a little surprised. Said: "Master, what's wrong?" ”

Su Ru smiled slightly, but there was a look of concern on her face, and said, "Yesterday, you sacrificed your life to save Ling'er and blocked the sword, were you really not injured?" ”

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and said, "Flow... The sword elder blocked the sword of the senior sister for me, and the senior lady can rest assured, I am fine. ”

Ru also shook his head and said, "Although someone blocked the sword, after all, you forcibly transferred your true qi and hurt your bloodline." Xiao Fan, the Chang Arrow who competed with you today is not trivial, your senior brother's cultivation is also defeated under his hands, although I heard your senior brother say that even if he wins, it will not be good, but with your half-baked practice, I am afraid that it will still not work, don't be reckless later, if it doesn't work, admit defeat, don't risk getting hurt again, you know? ”

Zhang Xiaofan's heart warmed, but he didn't nod, but just said: "Master will be angry"

Su Ru shook her head with a smile and said, "Silly boy, don't worry, it's too late for your master to feel sorry for you." ”

There was a loud bang in Zhang Xiaofan's head, and he immediately turned his head to look at Tian Buyi, but saw that Tian Buyi was talking and laughing with the white-bearded old man surnamed Fan, and he didn't look here.

Su Ru patted his head lightly and said, "Go ahead." ”

Zhang Xiaofan slowly stepped into the ring and stood on the stage alone, but Su Ru's words still echoed in his mind: "It's too late for your master to feel sorry for you!" ”

His mind is in chaos, from childhood to adulthood, from the beginning of Qingyun, Tian Buyi is in his mind, it is no different from a god, although Tian Buyi has been treating him badly on the surface, but it has always been the greatest wish of the young Zhang Xiaofan to get the master's approval.

And at this moment, when he suddenly heard Shi Niang say this, he couldn't believe it for a while.

He thought about it for a long time on stage, but there was a lot of discussion in the audience. After a long while, even Zhang Xiaofan finally sensed that something was wrong: his opponent had not come until now.

At this moment, a Nagato disciple ran quickly in the distance, his face was anxious, ignoring the strange eyes of the people around him, rushed to the white-bearded old man's side, and said a few words in his ear.

The white-bearded old man's face changed drastically, as if he couldn't believe it, and asked, "Really? ”

The disciple glanced hatefully at the stage, and finally nodded heavily. The white-bearded old man's face was as dead as ashes in an instant, and he sat down on top of his chair with a depressed face. Tian Buyi looked at it in his eyes, and said, "Senior Brother Fan, what happened?" ”

The white-bearded old man gave him a feeble look, and let out a long sigh to cheer up. Standing up again, he said loudly: "Chang Jian, a disciple of the Nagato, was too seriously injured in yesterday's competition to get up, so he gave up today's competition. ”

On and off the stage, there was silence.

A moment later. There was an uproar in the crowd! Even though most of the disciples of Qingyunmen are cultivators, there are still many people who scolded them rudely, and under the Dazhufeng lineage, the first reaction was not surprise, but one by one, they looked at each other with strange faces, and after a long time, they shook their heads with emotion and smiled bitterly.

When the people behind him were changing countless expressions and voices, Tian Buyi and Su Ru slowly stood up. Looking at the little apprentice who was still stunned on the stage, Su Ru smiled slightly, and whispered to Tian Buyi: "I said a long time ago, the luck of your little apprentice is really not ordinarily good!" ”

Tian Buyi was dumbfounded and smiled bitterly.

On this day, Zhang Xiaofan spent all his time in the strange eyes of others, and almost every Qingyun disciple who walked by him had to look at him a few more times. It's like he's a rare beast. At the same time, day down. The results of the competition also came out, and Zhang Xiaofan was "lucky" to be tied with Qi Hao, Lu Xueqi, and Uncle Zeng in the top four.

And Lin Jingyu, who has practiced slaying ghosts and gods, although he is also very strong, his luck is not good, he encountered strong enemies one after another in the first two rounds, and finally lost to his senior brother Qi Hao.

Qi Hao was originally the biggest favorite to win the championship, and Lu Xueqi has been very popular in the past few days. But Zeng Shushu and Zhang Xiaofan's entry into the top four was beyond the expectations of most Qingyunmen elders. Prior to this, Zeng Shushu was known as the only son of Zeng Shuchang, although he was recognized as a young talent in the Fenghuifeng lineage, but he was not very famous in Qingyunmen. The Taoism is exquisite, and everyone is impressed. In contrast, Zhang Xiaofan stood among the four people, which was extremely eye-catching.

On the ring, the four of them stood side by side, and the head of Dao Xuan Zhenren and the first Cangsong Dao person of Longshou Peak stood in front. Dao Xuan Zhenren still had a smile on his face, and he couldn't see that he was not dissatisfied with the unexpected annihilation of the Nagato disciples in this big test.

Under the stage, nearly a thousand Qingyunmen people gathered together, and the first elders of each vein were sitting in the front row. Su Ru looked at the stage and whispered to Tian Buyi: "Xiaofan looks a little nervous!" ”

Tian Buyi snorted and did not speak. In front of everyone's eyes, how could he not see what his wife saw, the four people on the stage, Qi Hao was depressed and stable, Lu Xueqi was as cold as ice, Zeng Shushu also stood with a smile, only Zhang Xiaofan stood in place, looking straight at the ground in front of him, and his hands seemed to be very embarrassed.

Dao Xuan Zhenren on the stage glanced at the four people, a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, turned to the audience and said: "Everyone, as of today, the Seven Veins Martial Arts have decided the top four disciples, they are extremely talented, the Dao is exquisite, they are all the elite of my Qingyun Sect, and they are shouldering the heavy responsibility of expanding my Qingyun Sect in the future" He was only halfway through his words, and suddenly there was a "poof" laugh from the audience, and after a while, a burst of laughter broke out in the crowd of Qingyun disciples.

Dao Xuan Zhenren frowned, subconsciously squinted at Zhang Xiaofan, the youngest of the four behind him, and shook his head slightly. He knows this child's skills, but he is helpless that this is a master who is "clever and does not work", and he always looks stupid and stupid on the surface.

At this time, the laughter in the audience continued, and the originally solemn scene became a little funny, and the Cangsong Daoren who was standing on the side lowered his face, stepped forward, his eyes were like knives, and swept towards the audience.

The laughter in the crowd suddenly subsided, and wherever Cangsong Dao people looked, the laughter suddenly stopped, and after a while, the scene returned to calm. Cang Song has been in charge of Qingyunmen's punishment for many years, and he is so powerful among the disciples that he is even better than the head of Dao Xuan Zhenren.

When the scene calmed down completely, Cangsong Dao Cai stepped back and said to Dao Xuanzhen: "Senior brother in charge, please." ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren smiled and said, "I don't have anything to say, Senior Brother Cangsong, come on." ”

Cangsong Daoren nodded, turned to the audience, and said loudly: "Tomorrow's competition, Qi Hao of Longshou Peak will be against Feng Huifeng Zeng Shushu, and Lu Xueqi of Xiaozhu Peak will be against Zhang Xiaofan of Dazhu Peak."

Cang Song continued to speak, the eyes of the audience were focused on him, Zhang Xiaofan was relieved at this time, and under the gaze of countless eyes from the audience just now, he was almost out of breath.

"Why are you sweating so much?" Suddenly, Zeng Shushu suddenly whispered beside him.

Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback, since he unexpectedly defeated Peng Chang yesterday, Zeng Shushu was cold to him in front of others, and he didn't expect him to take the initiative to talk to him. Although they have only known each other for three days, Zhang Xiaofan has regarded him as one of his good friends.

At that moment, he secretly glanced at Zeng Shushu, but saw Zeng Shushu standing beside him seriously, not squinting, looking at the audience with a smile, as if he hadn't spoken at all just now.

"Stupid, don't turn your head." Zeng Shushu's expression on the book remained unchanged at all, but his lips moved slightly, and he said, "It's not enough for you to cause me to be scolded half to death by my father!" ”

Zhang Xiaofan was sorry in his heart, and quickly looked away, and at the same time said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I was at that time, alas, Senior Brother Peng is okay, right?" ”

"Although Senior Brother Peng is seriously injured, it is fine, and he will be fine in a few days of cultivation, otherwise I will be reconciled with you? But I didn't expect you to really hide it. ”

"No, alas, I didn't know what was going on at the time, most of it was Senior Brother Peng's humility to me, and I was hot-headed again."

"I asked Senior Brother Peng, although he was defeated, he praised you a lot, and said that he was casting spells with all his strength at that time, and there was no room for it, so you don't have to take it to heart."

Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback again, and then said: "Then what you said about being scolded by your father"

"Hmph, it's not that Senior Brother Gao's group of stupid people are talkative, and they said everything I said when I pleaded with Senior Brother Peng for you, although Senior Brother Peng spoke for me, but I was still scolded by my father, otherwise I wouldn't have made that appearance to you in front of people."

"Shushu, I'm really sorry."

"A little thing, not enough to worry about, anyway, I've been used to scolding him since I was a child. It's your kid's luck but I think you have to be careful, the next time you compete with the frost beauty of Xiaozhufeng, be careful and be cut off by 'Tianya' with a sword! ”

Zhang Xiaofan had a bitter face and said in a low voice: "I also know, it would be nice if I tried with you" He stopped halfway through the words, he and Zeng Shushu felt a chill at the same time, and couldn't help but look around, only to see Lu Xueqi standing on the side with a pair of cold eyes staring at the two of them at some point - to be precise, staring at Zhang Xiaofan! Yesterday's sword blocking incident made this straightforward woman pay more attention to Zhang Xiaofan.

Zhang Xiaofan was silent when he boarded, Zeng Shushu also gasped, the two didn't dare to say any more, they both pretended to listen carefully, and listened to the lecture of Cangsong Daoren on the stage.

Finally, after Cangsong Daoren finished speaking, everyone dispersed, preparing for the competition meeting that will gradually reach a climax tomorrow. Zhang Xiaofan and Zeng Shushu got off the stage, they still felt cold behind them, and they couldn't help but be speechless in their hearts, this Lu Xueqi didn't know if it was from the Arctic Ice, and it made people feel cold at a glance.

He was about to say goodbye to Zeng Shushu, turned his head to look at Zeng Shushu, but saw Zeng Shushu suddenly straighten his face, looking at him with contempt in his eyes, and then "snorted" with great disdain, and left proudly, not far away, surrounded by a group of Fenghui Peak disciples, his father was standing there looking at them.

Zhang Xiaofan smiled bitterly, turned around and walked back to the place where everyone in Dazhufeng was, Tian Buyi glanced at him and said, "Go back." As he spoke, he glanced at Tian Ling'er again, and said, "Ling'er, come with me, I have something to say to your mother." ”

Tian Ling'er responded, and smiled at Zhang Xiaofan before leaving.

Everyone turned back to their residences, and as soon as they arrived in the room, the people of Dazhufeng exploded, Wu Dayi and others were busy telling the good news to Song Daren who was lying on the bed, and Lu Daxin hugged Zhang Xiaofan, laughing, only Du Bishu shook his head on the side, and said: "There is no reason, there is no reason!" (To be continued......)
