"Yo, isn't that my good apprentice?"

Tang Jiu, who was lazily lying under the porch, enjoying the rare winter sunshine, shook the wine bag in his hand, playing with Tang Jian Lotus, and only felt it the moment the young man stepped into the Dusk Summer Garden, until the young man got closer, Tang Jiu, who had slightly closed his eyes, opened his mouth to tease the young man.

Gu Xiao brought back the Misty Immortal and Jiang Ningxue from Tang Jiu, and was even more convinced of his previous guess, where did Tang Jiu want to accept himself as an apprentice, but he just wanted to test himself, or it was more appropriate to say that he wanted to hand over Jiang Ningxue.

Now that he heard Tang Jiu mention "apprentice", Gu Xiao couldn't help but clasp his fists at that lazy figure and smiled: "Senior Tang, you are here to tease the junior again, don't mention the words of the apprentice." ”

Tang Jiu lazily opened his eyes and glanced at the young man, he had said the words of accepting apprentices before, but there was water in them, he wanted the young man to let down his guard, believe in himself, and truthfully tell Jiang Ningxue's whereabouts, but with the whereabouts of Jiang Ningxue, and after these days of getting along, Tang Jiu really moved his heart to accept apprentices to this young man.

Although Tang Jiu was born in the Tang Sect and has been a recognized genius in the sect since he was a child, he does not love poison skills and prefers to use swords, but since he was a child in the Tang Sect, he has practiced poison skills from generation to generation.

However, Tang Jiu was free and easy by nature, and he was not involved in this matter, and he lived in a simple place in the door, and he was happy to be free. This time I went north, to the territory of Qiyun, I saw many martial arts descendants, these people either have poor understanding of the bones, or bad conduct, and they can't enter the eyes of Tang Jiu, until the eight formations of the stone gate in the mountain behind Hejiabao, I saw Gu Xiao, this young man's comprehension is all superior, and I saw his exquisite swordsmanship, I can already guess that this young man must have a famous teacher, and I have given up in the secret pity.

But with the return to Hejiabao, although he was guarding Jiang Ningxue to heal his injuries these days, he had never left the wall of the Dusk Summer Garden, and listened to the people in the Fuyuan Dart Bureau talking about the chivalrous actions of the young man in the past, and the young man's behavior in the past few days, all of them were in his eyes, remembering that he was facing his sword intent in the forest, his appearance was neither humble nor arrogant, and his resolute eyes were not arrogant, and his appreciation was even stronger, and the heart of the apprentice rose again.

Hearing this young man's polite fist, Tang Jiu sat up straight, raised his sleeves to wipe the wine from the corners of his mouth, and said with a tense face: "What kind of teasing, you didn't refuse that day, and I took your apprenticeship wine, our master-apprentice status has been completed, what's the matter?" Want to go back? ”

Gu Xiao smiled dumbly, and said, "Don't joke with the juniors, Miss Jiang has been safely handed over to the seniors..."

Hearing the young man's words, Tang Jiu's face turned red, and he secretly said that this kid was really shrewd, and his previous deception could not be hidden from him... Fortunately, the young man didn't care, and while he didn't finish speaking, he hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt: "Who is joking with you, what's the matter, being my Tang Jiu's apprentice can still insult you?" Boy, you know, how many people want to worship me as a teacher, but they can't get into my eyes. ”

Tang Jiu can be regarded as having saved himself in the hands of He Zhidao, even if he is not Qi Yun's person, Gu Xiao still respects him as a martial arts senior, and once again hugged his fists and said: "Let's listen to the junior explanation... The younger generation is an orphan since I was a child, it was the master who raised me as an adult, and taught me a martial arts, the younger generation has long treated my master like a father in their hearts, if I ignore the nurturing feelings, the grace of teaching art, and turn to worship the seniors, I am afraid that the seniors will also look down on me as a great rebel... Please don't embarrass me anymore. ”

Tang Jiu listened to the young man's sincere words, directly stated his kindness, his expression did not have a trace of falsification, and he was even more sure in his heart that this young man was a good candidate to inherit his skills, but this young man did not want to apprentice, and he did not want to be difficult for others, Tang Jiu suddenly felt a dilemma, rolled his eyes, and spoke.

"That's right, forget it... I don't embarrass you, by the way, the wooden sword in your arms... Can you lend me a look? ”

Gu Xiao didn't think about it, he took out the wooden sword from his arms, remembering that he was pressed by Tang Jiu's sword intent, and when he was about to be unable to bear it, the true qi that entered his body in the wooden sword, that familiar feeling, was clearly left by the master on the wooden sword.

Tang Jiu saw the young man's eyes flashing, knowing that this wooden sword was not obtained by accident, so it seemed that it was given by the "master" in the young man's mouth, so he took the wooden sword from the young man's hand and took a closer look.

Ordinary wood that can no longer be ordinary, it is not a natural treasure, no blade, it is the kind of wooden sword that makes children play, but it is slightly more delicately carved, remembering that in the forest outside Hejiabao, the powerful sword intent emanating from this wooden sword can be equal to himself, Tang Jiu's eyes that have been half-closed and slightly drunk, there is a surge of war intent, and the throbbing in his heart is becoming more and more intense.

"Mu boy, what's your master's name?"

Gu Xiao shook his head with a smile, clenched his fists and replied: "Don't hide it from your seniors, Master has always loved purity, and he doesn't want to meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and I ask my seniors to forgive me that my juniors can't tell me." ”

Hearing this, Tang Jiu was not as angry as Gu Xiao was worried, but instead looked up to the sky and smiled: "You kid, you are really getting more and more interested in me... Forget it, don't you say it, wait for this matter, I'll go find him myself... Such a master, if he only makes two moves, won't he come for nothing. ”

Tang Jiu said in his mouth, ignoring the young man, he threw the wooden sword in his hand back to him, stopped laughing and continued to speak: "Look at your kid's appearance... Say, what's the matter? ”

Gu Xiao saw Tang Jiu's free and easy appearance, and secretly said that the people in the rivers and lakes, if they were all like Tang Jiu, how could there be so many incidents, and he immediately felt good, and he was also ready to tell the truth, wanting Tang Jiu to help, and forced the second half of the method of entering Murong Valley from the mouth of the remnant soul body.

But when he was about to speak, he heard Tang Jiu behind him, the door of the middle wing of the Dusk Summer Garden slowly opened, and Jiang Ningxue held on to the door and slowly walked out.

It's still dressed in white... Such as the distant mountains with daisy eyebrows like frowning, like the eyes of the autumn water like weeping but not crying, the face of the peach blossom, pale, like sorrow, compared with the previous fairy-like cold beauty, a little more delicate, a little more weak willow to help the wind, but more elegant and refined, peerless, lovely.

Gu Xiaowang was stunned for a moment, almost forgetting what he wanted to say about asking Tang Jiu for help... Suddenly, he noticed that there was a foreign object thrown on his face, he reached out to catch it, and when he looked down, he saw that it was a two-petal peanut shell, only to come back to his senses, and when he looked sideways, he saw that Tang Jiu had already thrown the peanut in his hand into his mouth, accompanied by a sip of wine, and was speechless again and again.

"Ahem, senior Tang, junior wants to invite Tang..."In order to hide his embarrassment, Gu Xiao hurriedly opened his mouth to say his invitation, but was interrupted by Tang Jiu, who was chewing peanuts.

"You kid, if you care, you care, what's wrong, Miss Jiang didn't come out... Go ahead, don't bother me drinking. Tang Jiu rolled his eyes, pretended to raise his voice, and spoke.

"No, the juniors are here to ask the seniors for help, then the remnant..."Gu Xiao also said that Tang Jiu had misunderstood the purpose of his visit, and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.

The corners of Tang Jiu's mouth twitched, and he secretly said in his heart that this kid was really incomprehensible, Jiang Ningxue used herself as bait to lure away the pursuers for him, and gave him his Tang Jian Lotus Lotus, causing him to be seriously injured, this kind of intention, even a man who has never had a woman can see it, but this kid still doesn't know...

Then I thought about it, knowing that in the past few days, Jiang Ningxue had been recuperating in the Twilight Summer Garden, and I had never seen this kid come to visit a few times, but Jiang Ningxue, when she heard that this kid was coming, dragged her seriously injured body and got up, but this kid also said that she wanted to ask herself for help... What a fool, this kind of blind apprentice, don't do it.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Tang Jiu really wanted to get past the kid in green shirt in front of him and give him two slaps, it was best to wake him up.

"I said you kid, is your head being donkeyed..."

"Uncle Nine... Ahem. ”

Halfway through Tang Jiu's words, Jiang Ningxue had already slowly spoken, Xu is words pulled the internal injuries in her body, and when the two words came out, she was already coughing, and even her body was unstable.

Seeing this, Gu Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to help, and when his hand touched Jiang Ningxue, he already felt her weakness, and hurriedly said: "Miss Jiang, why did you get up, you are not lightly injured, you have to take care of it." ”

Jiang Ningxue saw the young man's concerned gaze, and the corners of her lips moved up slightly: "It's okay, it's me who is too light on the enemy, I didn't expect the He Kui Martial Realm controlled by the remnant soul to rise sharply..."

Gu Xiao felt guilty, if Jiang Ningxue hadn't given him the iron lotus with a half-fingered copper sword outside the old site of the Feng family, he would not have been so seriously injured, and immediately said softly: "Miss Jiang, don't say that, it's all my fault for this matter, the girl gave me all the things for self-defense, if not, how could Miss Jiang be so seriously injured... I..."

"I'm fine, Uncle Nine is proficient in pharmacology, and he has healed my internal injuries, I only need to rest for a while, and I can be healed, you... Don't be anxious. Seeing the guilt in the young man's eyes, Jiang Ningxue comforted Gu Xiao softly.

Tang Jiu couldn't help but smile when he saw that these two young offspring were holding each other's faults, his eyes changed back to a slightly closed state, and he lost a peanut in his mouth, accompanied by a mouthful of wine in his wine bag, "Zi'a" pursed his lips, as if he was tasting the spicy taste of Qiyun's wine, and as if he was savoring the air... The taste.

Then he slowly got up and walked quietly towards the outside of the Twilight Garden, still silently reciting in his heart.

"I am like a star and a king, like the moon, and the night is bright." After reading it, I seemed quite satisfied with my literary brilliance, but when I looked up, I saw that the sun was empty... couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and was about to leave.

"Uncle Nine... Stay. ”

Jiang Ningxue's weak voice came from behind him, making Tang Jiu's figure stagnate, obviously he kept calling the name of the wooden boy when he was unconscious, and at this time, the kid was beside him, and he also shouted that he was doing something...

Puzzled, he turned around, but heard Jiang Ningxue continue to speak: "That remnant soul... Right now... Whence. ”

Although he was weak, there was no doubt in his tone, Tang Jiu was stunned, and replied: "It's in that old site." ”

"Please Uncle Nine to help me and Mu Yi."

Tang Jiu sighed slightly when he saw this, he didn't know if it was because he didn't understand the amorous feelings, or because he was too careful for Jiang Ningxue, so he said, "Okay... But your injuries haven't healed yet, and you go back to your room to rest, I'll just take this kid there. ”

Jiang Ningxue was relieved when she heard Tang Jiu's response, and looked sideways at the young man beside her and said, "You go quickly, I asked for a clue, and I will go to Murong Valley with you." ”

Seeing his weak appearance, Gu Xiao was still thinking about Murong Gu's affairs all the time, and his heart was even more guilty just now, but he had indeed been delayed in Hejiabao for too long, and he was anxious in his heart, so he had to be a little ruthless, and said: "Miss Jiang, recuperate with peace of mind, and leave the rest to me." ”

After that, they and Tang Jiu immediately set off and headed towards the old site of the Feng family.

——

The remnant soul was trapped in the dark secret room, and it seemed that he had returned to the years when he was beheaded by Chen Beizhou and was in the eight formations of Shimen.

Once that kind of powerlessness, fear, and depression hit, it was like a tide, stretching endlessly, since escaping from the Shimen Eight Formations, it was only a few days, and I hadn't enjoyed it to the fullest, but it seemed to be back in the dark.

But the louder you shout, the more powerless, fearful, and depressed... It kept shouting, and seemed to have forgotten what kind of state of mind it was for the Wind Girl, Jin Buyi, and even Chongyang Pen to be trapped by him at this time.

Tired of scolding, the remnant soul seemed to start worrying again, worried that the person wearing the hat would wipe himself out, thinking of this, the remnant soul used the remaining cultivation to break through the secret room and escape.

If it were a normal day, not to mention this secret room, even the sword array laid by ordinary martial artists, it would not be able to stop it, but today, the moment it was transported, the sound of a slight sword groan had resounded in this secret room.

In the darkness, there seemed to be more than a dozen long swords dancing, making a crisp collision...

Hearing the sound of the sword, the remnant soul was like a deflated ball, and suddenly curled up towards the corner of the secret room.

Twelve half-fingered bronze swords slowly floated from the darkness, and the blades pointed at the remnant souls.

Seeing the half-fingered bronze sword, the remnant soul begged for mercy again and again: "I... I don't dare..."

As he spoke, he saw the door of the dark room open, and two figures entered with the light.

Some people died, but not completely......
