Zhang Duanjing sat in the mountain behind the pavilion and hugged the Pu Pavilion, caressing the gloomy cedar in front of him, which was more than five feet long, and the surface of the wood was black and tinged with a purple luster. Flick of the fingers, the sound of Zhong Lu sounded, crisp and melodious.

"What is this? Is Zhao Xiao going to give a bride price to the little Taoist couple? A white-haired old man came with a cane, his expression uninhibited, and he smiled.

Zhang Duanjing's expression was cold: "Zhao Huang received the grace of saving his life, and he should be reciprocated." ”

"Once you come and go, don't you have this feeling?" The white-haired old man shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that Zhao Xiao was taught by you to be a stupid donkey who doesn't know how to be flexible and stubbornly stubborn." Men and women don't have to deliberately avoid love, so don't indulge, don't indulge, don't indulge, don't want As a result, you are good, I don't know what medicine you have taken, the master and apprentice are holding back and refusing to let go, where is this immortal cultivator? ”

"You know it well, so why be sarcastic." Zhang Duanjing closed his eyes and said: "What I want to do, I risk the greatness of the heavens and the world, if I have relatives, I will cause trouble." Zhao Xiao also understands this principle, only when the heart is as strong as iron can it experience torture. It is not necessary to indulge in love and ultimately harm others and oneself. ”

The white-haired old man laughed: "That's what you say, but when you get started, you don't mind dragging me into the water." ”

"You and I are both from Yunyan Peak, and now you are the only one left who has the true inheritance." Zhang Duanjing's expression softened: "There are some things that others can't trust, it's just that they lack ability." ”

"Are you complimenting me?" The white-haired old man laughed loudly: "It's rare and rare, the senior brother who hasn't tasted a little resignation will actually praise people." ”

In the face of sarcasm, Zhang Duanjing was not annoyed, and the white-haired old man saw that he couldn't amuse him, so he had to ask: "Since you said that Yunyan Peak is inherited, why don't you teach the "Jade Ding Liuxia Chapter" to Zhao Huang?" Although the "Five Tibetan Chapters of Shuying" is refined, it is limited to before the formation of the fetal immortal. With Zhao Xiao's qualifications, you don't want him to be held back, do you? ”

"The Five Tibetan Chapters of Shuying is in line with his praise of official family learning, and his cultivation in the past is still shallow, so he naturally needs to lay a solid foundation." Zhang Duanjing replied.

The white-haired old man said: "But I saw him sitting facing the wall before, exhaling true qi, and sometimes forming a seal, this is the immortal method of Chongxuan Pavilion." Liang Guoshi took the first step, are you so willing? ”

"There is no right or wrong in the immortal law, and Zhao Xiao's cultivation of the Chongxuan Pavilion immortal method does not mean that he has respect for Liang Tao." Zhang Duanjing said: "And only in this way can Zhao Xiao gain Liang Tao's trust." ”

"You're playing with fire." There was speculation in the white-haired old man's eyes: "It's just that I didn't expect that you protected Zhao Xiao so well in the past, and now you are willing to let go and let him fall under the tiger's mouth?" ”

"Today's Zhao Huang is no longer comparable to what it used to be." Zhang Duanjing's tone was stunned: "I'm not immutable. ”

The white-haired old man asked again: "But Zhao Huang wants to face Liang Tao in person, aren't you afraid that after the national teacher is completed, he will directly kill Zhao Xiao?" ”

"I'm already preparing, just to be sure." Zhang Duanjing said: "And you also underestimate Zhao Xiao, he has already guessed what I have to do with Chiyundu." ”

The white-haired old man's eyes widened in surprise: "Is this serious?" ”

Zhang Duanjing nodded slowly: "I guess when he was in Pujia Pass, he had contacts with Chiyun, and even met the three elders in person. ”

The white-haired old man twisted his beard and smiled: "I don't know if the third old man took the initiative to come to the door, and your apprentice is quite appetizing to them." ”

Zhang Duanjing took out a beaded colorful mussel: "You go to Cangwuling and give this photograph to the three elders." ”

"What did you come up with?" The white-haired old man took the colorful mussel and looked back and forth.

"Within five thousand miles, I can use this instrument to communicate with the three elders of Chiyun." Zhang Duanjing said indifferently.

The white-haired old man smiled: "Amazing, with this one, it is far better than those guys in the Chongxuan Pavilion who grind mirrors all day long." ”

Zhang Duanjing did not have the slightest pleasure in receiving compliments: "The Four Rules Mirror is not only used for shadowing and transmitting sound, but also can assist in cultivation and manifest ghosts and gods. Liang Tao streamlined and refined the Daming Treasure Mirror, which shows that his cultivation is in the realm. ”

"So you think you can't kill Liang Tao with the Excalibur alone?"

"In the battle of Pujiaguan, Ning Zhen insisted on saving Zhao Huang, but he was still taken away by Liang Tao." Zhang Duanjing said: "The cultivation realm is like Liang Tao's generation, and it is difficult to kill by ordinary means. The divine sword is to restrain the immortal body, but the premise is to trap Liang Tao in one place. ”

The white-haired old man shook his head: "How could Liang Tao be trapped so easily?" The Ten Witches of Fengfu and the gods of the Southern Earth worked together to set up an enchantment, but they only barely kept him for a while, and the result was that the remaining Ten Witches of Fengfu were all killed, and even the Demon King's horns were cut down. Tsk, this guy is ruthless, looking at Kunlun Continent, I'm afraid no one can control it. ”

"So let him take the initiative to trap himself." Zhang Duanjing's expression was solemn.

"That's where you guys go brains." The white-haired old man was about to leave, and said, "By the way, be careful when you go to see the little girl, the sword anger is more and more intrusive into her sanity." ”

……

Zhang Duanjing came to the cave in the mountain, and the dome had a faint light of stars, like a night starry sky artificially embellished.

In the quiet cave, the sword qi was whistling like the wind, Zhang Duanjing concentrated, without the slightest killing intent, raised his feet and walked in the wind, although his clothes fluttered, but it was very slow, and it was incompatible with the surrounding wind.

Suddenly, a majestic sword aura rushed like a great river, filling all corners of the cave and approaching Zhang Duanjing.

In the face of the sword qi that was enough to shatter his bones, Zhang Duanjing stood still, closed his eyes with his hands closed, a spirit paused, and all realms were forgotten, and the sword qi attacked his body in an instant, like a mountain and mist, quietly sliding over his body without any damage.

The sword qi crossed, and the cave returned to silence, Zhang Duanjing woke up like a big dream, and opened his eyes to look at the darkness in the distance: "I named the divine sword 'Keeping Silence', just to hope that you realize that the edge of the divine sword is not how powerful it is." In order to be able to control the violent aura of calamity, it is necessary to keep the silence at all times, otherwise you will be harmed by the edge of the Excalibur. ”

As soon as the words fell, a figure quickly flew over, and the faceless swordsman held the divine sword, which directly hit Zhang Duanjing's throat.

"Without sword energy, I can still kill you!" The swordsman snorted coldly: "In the final analysis, you are just afraid that you will be controlled by the divine sword, and you will leave a way out for yourself when you forge the sword." ”

"It's not." Zhang Duanjing said clearly: "The divine sword is not extraordinary, it can be injured and cannot be injured. When I was refining the Divine Sword, I never thought of using it to kill indiscriminately. Wishing that this is the case, when I don't have killing intent and keep the silence inside, there will be nowhere to add the edge of the Excalibur. ”

"Swords are used to kill!" The swordsman retorted, "What are you doing with so many useless uses? ”

"I don't want the sword-wielder to take his own life." Zhang Duanjing replied: "As the name suggests, the Sword of Silence is not only a warning to the person who wields the sword, but also a warning to the ghosts, gods and immortals. The immortal family is silent, quiet and leisurely; Ghosts and gods are silent, yin and yang are peaceful. ”

"These things have nothing to do with me!" The swordsman asked, "If I hadn't arrived in time, Ah Huang would have almost been killed by the big snake!" Are the big truths you said useful? ”

"I refine this sword for thousands of generations." Zhang Duanjing said.

"Shut up!" The swordsman shouted, and the rubble from the dome above fell, and the entire cave shook slightly.

"I don't want anything for thousands of generations, I just want Ah Huang to be safe!" The swordsman withdrew his sword and took off his mask, revealing a delicate and determined face, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"I know." Zhang Duanjing lowered his head and lowered his eyes: "But I don't want Zhao Huang to be only under the wing of his elders forever, cultivation is not just meditation and retreat, Zhao Huang should experience and sharpen." I hope he achieves something. ”

"You're just the head of a pavilion, why do you control Zhao Xiao's life?" The noodle swordsman rebuked unceremoniously: "It's not enough to kill Ziliang, and you want to use Zhao Huang to fulfill your bullshit wishes, you and Liang Tao are just a raccoon dog!" ”

Zhang Duanjing's head was pressed lower, and his back seemed to bear a thousand burdens, and he was no longer upright. Even though he tried his best to hide it, there was still a look of frustration on his face.

"Now Zhao Xiao still needs to come forward." Zhang Duanjing said strongly: "Only if Zhao Huang continues to assist in arranging the rituals and rituals, can there be a way to kill Liang Tao in the end." You've seen what he's capable of. If you are not defeated by the edge of the Excalibur, you can avoid it at any time, and the trouble will be even worse at that time. ”

"In that case, why were you led out of Pujia Pass by the enemy in the first place?" The swordsman asked angrily.

"I make mistakes, too." Zhang Duanjing muttered.

"No!" The swordsman wiped away his tears, and his tone was cold: "You are incompetent!" ”

After saying this, the swordsman turned around and left, retreating into the darkness again, leaving Zhang Duanjing alone to stand.

……

Zhao Xiao took a boat to the Shixi blessed land outside the city, looking at the lush grass and trees, thinking that Jiang Ru did not bother to take care of this place.

This manor originally belonged to the Zheng family of Jiujiang, and Zhao Huang himself rarely came. But now that Lu Wangji's injury has not healed, Zhao Xiao settled her here, taking advantage of the blessed land to clear the qi and maintain the health.

Considering that he had no official duties at the moment, Zhao Xiao simply moved to the blessed land of Stony Brook, so as not to show up and cause unnecessary additional trouble.

"Lu Daoyou is in the Wangbo Pavilion in the west." Zhao Xiaoshe landed on the boat and saw that Jiang Ru was already waiting on the shore.

"How is Lu Daoyou's injury?" Zhao Xiao held the timber he had just obtained from his teacher and watched his subordinates move the other things into the manor one by one.

"Everyday movement is fine." Jiang Ru said: "But I look at her appearance, she shouldn't be able to use mana, and the internal wound is obviously not healed." ”

Zhao Xiao was still pondering, and Jiang Ru whispered, "I want to ask you for something...... Can that Shenke Immortal Fruit give Lu Wangji? ”

"That's what I thought too." Zhao Xiao asked, "It's just why do you have this plan?" ”

Jiang Ru smiled slightly: "I was seriously injured on the bank of the Cangshui River at the beginning, and then it was Lu Wangji who came out to treat me. I always felt that I wanted to repay her, but I couldn't do it. ”

Zhao Xiao's chin raised slightly, indicating the direction of the manor: "The immortal fruit you returned to me will be placed in the manor, and you can use it if you want." ”

"It's your stuff after all, and I can't use it without permission." Jiang Ru said.

Zhao Xiao smiled and took out a jade box from the bamboo basket: "I forgot to tell you, I got another Shenke Immortal Fruit." ”

Jiang Ru's expression was slightly surprised, but then he realized: "It was given to you by the lord of the country?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Xiao smiled and said, "Anyway, there are many of them, and it's not a big deal to send one to Lu Wangji." ”

Jiang Ru saw the white hair on Zhao Huang's sideburns, pursed her lips and said, "Where is the big deal, you obviously need it more." ”

Zhao Xiao shook his head: "The medicine is not right, the effect of the Shenke Immortal Fruit is to protect the vitality and qi veins, and help regulate the healing." And the injuries I suffered before have long been healed, and now this appearance is caused by passing the cultivation level, and no panacea will work, so I can only rely on concentrating on hard cultivation. ”

The subordinates moved all kinds of living things into the manor, and Zhao Xiao sent them back. There are no ordinary people left in this blessed land of Stony Creek, and Zhao Huang does not need to be taken care of by subordinates, there are only three people in the entire blessed land of Stony Creek, Zhao Xiao, Jiang Ru and Lu Wangji, which is a place of retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

"Heron Daoyou, please take a look." Zhao Xiao came to Wangbo Pavilion and handed out the piece of wood for making the piano.

"Gloomy wood?" Egret forgot to see the material of wood at a glance.

"The water is gloomy and cedar." Zhao Xiao explained: "This wood was found by the Dongtuqin music masters two hundred years ago at the source of the Lushui River in Boya Mountain. This wood is buried deep in the bottom of the spring flow rock for many years, and has been quenched by clear air and soaked by spring water for a long time, making the wood similar to jade. If you listen attentively, you can also sense the sound of springs flowing in the wood, which is very mysterious. ”

Lu Wangji raised his hand to stroke the wood, his slender fingers seemed to be plucking the strings, hooking or wiping along the wood lines, although there were no strings, Zhao Xiao could faintly hear the sound of the piano, and even he was secretly shocked.

"It's really good material." Lu Wangji nodded in approval.

Jiang Ru asked on the side: "Where did you get such a piece of fine wood?" ”

"This piece of wood was not made into a piano vessel back then, and it was collected by the Huaiying Museum several times." Zhao Xiao spread his hands: "But there are very few people who are proficient in music theory in the Huaiying Pavilion, and someone used to plan to cut this piece of gloomy cedar into a wooden sword, but found that the physical properties did not match." After comparing and comparing, it was found that it could only be used for violin-making, and as a result, it was left in the library for a long time and no one cared about it. ”

Lu Wangji said: "This is the thing of Huaiying Pavilion, I should not take it." ”

Zhao Xiao said with a smile: "Lu Daoyou don't have to care, the teacher entrusted me, saying that Lu Daoyou, you didn't care about the danger when you were in Pujia Pass, and you once rescued me, and returning a piece of piano wood is not enough to express your gratitude." What's more, this thing is left to people who don't know the goods, and it is also a tyrannical thing, so it is better to dispose of it by Lu Daoyou, just to make the best use of it, in order to revitalize the sound of mountains and flowing water. ”

Lu Wangji was silent, his hat covering his face, and he couldn't see his expression.

"By the way, I have an immortal fruit here, which is just right for Daoyou to treat injuries." Zhao Xiao took the opportunity to take out the Shenke Immortal Fruit: "When taking it, it is turned into pure water, and its medicinal power can be transformed into a hundred veins on its own, protecting vitality and cultivating true qi, which is a rare holy product." ”

"Daoyou give too much." Heron Forgetfulness seemed to be shocked beyond words.

Zhao Huang stood up and bowed: "Don't hide it from your friends, this is a gift for the apprentice." I have been yearning for the wonderful method taught by Fengming Valley for a long time, and I beg Taoist friends to teach me. ”

"If the Marquis of Zhenming wants to learn, just say a word, you don't have to be so generous." Heron shook her head.
