At the same time that Qin Suiyi's thoughts were chaotic, in Qian Chao's residence, Ma Hu had already left, Qian Chao sat in front of the bookcase and pondered this, his eyes were staring at the teacup that Ma Hu had used, the residual tea in the cup had already been cold, but the thoughts in Qian Chao's mind had flown out of the sky.

It took him a long time before he recovered from his contemplation, straightened up, and said two words softly:

"Yan Surprise"

Reaching out and picking up the paper from the table, he looked at the face of the person on the paper again.

Then there was another piece of paper, and Qian Chao looked at the face of the person he had drawn, and said to himself:

"Wang Lingzhong, could it be that these four people are really dead outside? Yan was shocked? ”

Then he recalled what Ma Hu had said, the contemplation just now was because he seemed to have grabbed something from Ma Hu's words, but now even he didn't know what it was, that Senior Brother Xun said that he had a good character, and there were many people who had been helped by him and benefited from him, so after his unfortunate death outside the sect, there were many people in Chengqitang who were sad about it.

Senior Brother Wei, pitiful, he had fled back, but he ended up with such a way of death, his heart was dead, and that Elder Jin, his actions were cold, in order to find out the cause of his apprentice's death, he didn't care about the lives of others, alas, it was this Senior Brother Wei who was unlucky, if the monk was cut off from the root of his cultivation, it seemed to be a terrible thing, think about himself, if he woke up tomorrow morning and found that he had no cultivation, and there was no hope of cultivation, he would probably not be much better than that Senior Brother Wei, right?

Zhang Jing, it was this Zhang Jing that made Qian Chao curious, who did he see outside the sect, who was the 'smiling man' in his mouth, why did those bamboo drills in Guanxikou start with Zhang Jing, and what did he know? Thinking of this, Qian Chao shook his head, and from Ma Hu's words, it seemed that this Zhang Jing didn't know what he knew, even if he wasn't dead, it would be difficult to ask him now.

"That smiling man, in less than two years, he doesn't even recognize me, it's like a different person, it's really unreasonable!"

This is what Zhang Jing said at the time, less than two years, not a long time, can you forget a person?

It shouldn't be, I'm afraid it's not this Zhang Jing who recognized the wrong person, right?

……

For a while, Qian Chao couldn't understand and couldn't figure out a line of thought, so he simply didn't want to think about it first, and after a night of conversation with this Ma Hu, Qian Chao felt that he was not sleepy at all at this time, so he simply worked hard, so he took out a book to read, he could multitask, and run his own exercises while reading the book, which was also his unique practice.

The words in the book quickly captivated his mind.

The page that was turned at random was not interesting, Qian Chao continued to turn the page backwards after a cursory look, and after reading a few pages, the next story firmly attracted all his thoughts.

This story doesn't have a name, and if you had to give it a name, you could simply name it "The Liar Comes to the Door".

The story is about a small sect in a secluded and sparse mountain forest, that is indeed a very small sect, from top to bottom, from the master to the disciple a total of only a dozen people, the master is a monk surnamed Zhou, although he is more than 100 years old, but he looks like a middle-aged man, the cultivation is in the middle level of the foundation, more than a dozen disciples are mostly for the cultivation of qi cultivation, only the big disciple has built the foundation for a short time, it is the cultivation of the initial level of the foundation, this big disciple is a woman, and he was born with a bit of appearance.

One day, the monk surnamed Zhou gathered all his disciples together and told them that he was going out once, visiting an old friend, and traveling along the way, and instructed the disciples to keep the door when they went out, and to work diligently, so that they could return in three or five years, and that their senior sister would be in charge of everything while he was away, and then he would drift away.

In this way, these disciples practiced in this small sect according to the instructions of the master, first after three years, they did not see the master come back, and then after five years, they still did not see the master return, and they did not see the master for eight years.

Fortunately, this senior sister has been maintained, and her cultivation is currently the highest in this small sect, she warned all the junior disciples not to think nonsense, the master rarely travels, he must be wandering outside, maybe he will come back after a while, it is useless to think about it, or it is important to practice separately, so that all the junior disciples can settle down again and continue to practice.

Almost in the tenth year, a stranger came to this small sect, who seemed to be a young man, about thirty years old, dressed in an elegant green shirt, and had the white skin of a scholar.

The invasion of foreign enemies, the sect shook, in fact, it was only a dozen people who were shaken, these disciples will gather together to face this stranger as if they were facing a great enemy, and at the same time, they were all worried or frightened in their hearts, and some people even made other plans in their hearts, thinking about whether they should pack up their fineness and leave, but none of them dared to step forward to do it, because the man who came was cultivating at the beginning of foundation building, and only the cultivation of the senior sister in the sect could be comparable.

How could such a thing happen!

Could it be that the master really encountered an accident outside, and the opponent got the news first and came to the door, is there a disaster that the sect was destroyed today?

"Who are you? Why trespass here? The senior sister asked the stranger who broke in in front of the senior brothers.

However, the next scene stunned everyone, and they saw that the young man took out a jade pendant from his body and showed it to everyone first, and then threw it to the senior sister, and then said:

"Why, don't you recognize me?"

The jade pendant was something that their master carried with him, and it was also the identity token of the master of this small sect.

This senior sister took this jade pendant and looked at it carefully for a long time, and confirmed that this was the master's thing, but after confirming it, she was even more suspicious, how did the token on her master get into this person's hands? Could it be that the master was killed by this person?

So the senior sister shouted and asked, "Where did you get my master's things, say!" Is it that our master was killed by you? ”

In fact, it's just her, and the others don't dare, after all, there are still a lot of gaps in cultivation, even if the master is really harmed by this person, this person also admits it, then if it really starts, only the senior sister can match it, and even if the others are tied together, it is not enough for this young man's fingers.

"A bunch of idiots! I am your Master! Looks like you really don't recognize me, so don't you! ”

As he spoke, the young man turned around and entered the hall in the attic in the middle, and everyone followed closely, and after seeing the man sitting down on the main seat in the center, he began to speak, and he called out the names of many disciples one by one, including the nicknames between the brothers and sisters, and even the nicknames given by the master to them, and then asked them how they practiced, and then asked them about their current situation, and explained the difficulties that each of them had encountered in their cultivation in the past ten years. At this time, the disciples present were skeptical, what this person said was not wrong at all, it seemed that he was really his master, but the master was more than 100 years old, why did he become a young scholar now?

Seeing that these people still didn't believe it, the young man began to point to the crowd and talk about how everyone worshipped under his door, first, these were old things, and second, the reasons for each person's apprenticeship were different, and several of them had some private matters that were not suitable for outsiders before they apprenticed, and the young man deliberately stopped and said those key points, so that the person who was mentioned could understand the meaning for himself.

Then the young man will also talk about some big and small things in the sect ten years ago, the disputes between the senior brothers, how the master at that time dealt with these, and how he appeased them afterwards, many things are known only to the master and the two people who were appeased, but outsiders don't know, and everyone was stunned for a while.

If this person is not a Master, then how can he know these things?

But if he is really his master, why haven't he seen him for ten years, and when he comes back, he has changed again?

Only that senior sister has always been a cold bystander, and now these juniors and disciples of her believe that the person in front of her is her master, and although she has doubts in her heart, she still asks with everyone's doubts:

"What has happened in the last decade?"

The young man said with emotion: "Alas, it's hard to put it into words......"

Then the young man said something, according to what he said, he is the monk surnamed Zhou of this small sect who went out to visit friends, but his trip was not smooth, he first visited friends, and the old friend was nowhere to be found, so he began to travel outside, and as a result, he met a group of scattered cultivators and looted, so he fought with it, beheaded a person, injured a few people, but he was also seriously injured and had to flee, those scattered cultivators annoyed him to resist, so they kept chasing him closely, not wanting to let him go. In desperation, he dragged his seriously injured body around him, and killed several people one after another, but in the process, his injuries worsened again and again, and he reached the point where he could no longer support it, and finally managed to retreat from those scattered cultivators.

However, before those scattered cultivators retreated, he was stunned by a high-level guy refining qi, it was the young man in front of the disciples now, this monk surnamed Zhou knew that he was seriously injured and his life was short, but he was very unwilling, this is natural, who wants to die like this for no reason, so he gave birth to an idea of borrowing the corpse to return the soul, in the early years, this monk surnamed Zhou had learned the method of seizing the soul with one hand, and now his life is in danger and he can't bear to die, so he used that method, With his own soul, he invaded the body of a person who was a high-level Qi refiner, and from then on, he could continue to live in this person's body.

However, after seizing the house, he did not immediately return to his sect, but found the land to cultivate, fortunately, the original cultivation of this physical body was already a high-level Qi refining, close to the foundation, and he used to be a middle-level monk in the foundation, and it was not difficult for him to build the foundation, of course, having said that, he also experienced some difficulties, and it took a few years to finally build the foundation, and then he returned.

"I see!"

After hearing these words, the disciples realized that the young man in front of them was the master who had traveled ten years ago, and he had encountered a great calamity outside, and then he had picked up a life by taking away the law, and now he was back, which was naturally a blessing.

Earlier, the young man's actions made these people suspicious, and some people already believed it, and now these words were completely dispelled by saying them, and they bowed down respectfully one by one, including the senior sister, who respectfully complimented the master in unison, saying that the master would not die, and he would definitely be able to become a golden pill in the future.

Then the young man said that he had just laid the foundation, and his cultivation was not yet stable, and he could finally feel at ease when he returned to the sect, and that he would have to retreat for some days, and that everyone would not disturb him, and that he would continue to practice until the day he left the sect, and then teach these disciples.

The disciples promised.

But that night, in the young man's retreat room, something unexpected happened.

Naturally, the young man was not taken by the monk surnamed Zhou, he just used the identity of the monk surnamed Zhou to deceive this small sect.

In the secret room, the young man used the secret technique obtained from the mouth of the monk surnamed Zhou to open a secret door in the wall, and then he was stunned by the contents of the door, and his heart was overjoyed!

The treasures inside the door were shining brightly, and the young man couldn't wait to see this, and stepped in, ready to pocket everything inside.

Then, when he stepped in, inside the secret door, among the treasures, a light struck him straight, making him freeze for a moment.

At this moment, in an inconspicuous corner of the dark room, another secret door quietly opened, and a slender figure walked in gently.

"You're not him, I know from the time I see you."

Senior Sister said softly from behind the young man.

"You...... How did you get in? ”

The young man said in horror, he didn't expect that there was an ambush among these treasures, and he was trying to find a way to break free from this predicament, but at this time, it would be very bad, he nervously rolled his eyes and couldn't see the situation behind him, but listening to the voice, he knew that it was the senior sister in the group of disciples who spoke, but if this secret room was closed from the inside, it would not be accessible from the outside, after all, this is the place where the master of the sect cultivated, how did she get in?

"Hmph, you don't even know that there are prohibitions in these treasures, and you don't even know that there are other secret passages in this secret room, and you dare to pretend to be my master's identity, it's so stupid!"

As she spoke, the senior sister reached out and pulled the young man's body over and faced her.

"This prohibition is very powerful, if no one saves you, you can only stand here until you die."

Cold sweat was already breaking out on the young man's forehead, and he asked in horror, "Are you...... Who are you? ”

Senior Sister's face was full of ridicule, and she said, "Me? Naturally, I'm the senior sister here, and I'm the only foundation-building monk in this small sect besides the master? ”

"How do you know I'm a fake?"

The senior sister did not answer his question, but asked rhetorically:

"How long have you tortured my master before he told you almost everything about here?"

The young man was silent for a moment, and the situation before him could not help him not tell the truth, and then he spoke:

"Five years, I trapped him for five years, and in these five years I tried my best to torture him, and only then did I ask these things from his mouth."

Senior Sister nodded, and then asked:

"In the past five years, has he been in pain?"

The young man was stunned, in the past five years, he has used all kinds of cruel means, and has been hanging the monk surnamed Zhou to death, so that the monk surnamed Zhou can't die and life is better than death, naturally it is all kinds of pain, otherwise he won't say whatever he asks, and tell himself about the things in the sect one by one, but even so, he asked again and again I don't know how many times, I was afraid that the monk surnamed Zhou deliberately said some flaws to him, so that his plan failed, now in retrospect, the monk surnamed Zhou was only seeking a quick death at that time.

"Yes, I tortured him by all means, and made him suffer for five years."

"And what about him now? Is it already dead? ”

The young man did not answer, he had long wondered if he had lied to her that the monk surnamed Zhou was still alive, and if she wanted to save people, he might still have a chance to get out of this danger.

"Don't have other ideas, you can come here to cheat, and you know so many things in our sect, even if he is still alive, there must be only half a life left, if he dies, I will rest assured, if he is not dead, tell me where it is, I will go back and kill him!"

When the young man heard this, he looked at the beautiful face of the senior sister almost dumbfounded, and he did not expect that she would say such a thing.

"He's dead, but I didn't kill him, I tortured him for five years, during which he resisted, and even almost succeeded, as a last resort, I abolished his cultivation, and then he couldn't bear it, not long ago, he ...... I committed suicide, and I came here. ”

I thought that when she said this, this senior sister would definitely have some emotional ups and downs, but she didn't expect that she would be very satisfied when she heard this, nodded her head, and asked again:

"Then how did you catch him in the first place, your cultivation wouldn't be what it is now five years ago, and you would definitely not be his opponent at that time."

The young man could not figure out what the senior sister wanted to do, but since he had asked, he had to answer:

"As I said, he encountered a robbery of scattered cultivators, I was one of those scattered cultivators, more than a dozen of us, mostly to build a foundation, but I was still refining qi cultivation at that time, your master was also very powerful, he almost killed all our partners alone, but he himself was seriously injured, I couldn't intervene at all and hid, watching them fight, until the corpse in the last place plus your master was seriously injured and unconscious, this can restrain him."

Hearing this, the senior sister nodded and said:

"I see, I said you can't subdue him."

The young man asked:

"You haven't told me yet, how did you see that I was a fake, I asked everything I should have asked in the past five years, and there was no flaw in asking myself, how did you see through me?"

Senior Sister sighed:

"Five years! Maybe you didn't torture him long enough, or maybe you didn't torture him hard enough, well, or maybe he deliberately killed him and didn't say anything, just for today, to borrow my hand to avenge him. ”

"What......?"

"Humph! I'm a senior sister, the only one among my disciples who has built a foundation and cultivated, but do you know? The cultivation of my body...... I got it for myself! ”

"What!"

"Can't you see? How can I say that it is also a bit beautiful, are you not moved when you see me? My master was moved, but I didn't have the slightest thought about him, guess what, can I resist? It is precisely because of this relationship with him that he looks at me differently in terms of cultivation, and this is why I am where I am today. But...... is called master and apprentice, but in fact husband and wife, even in front of everyone, there are some things in his eyes that only I can understand, and you, even if it is really him who takes away, the appearance is completely different, but the look in my eyes can't deceive me, so I decided at a glance that you are a fake! ”

"I see, I see!" The young man muttered.

"You are still a casual cultivator after all, and these dirty things in the sect are different from the violent and cruel days you usually live."

The senior sister walked into the secret door as she spoke, and put all the contents into her storage bag one by one, and said as she did it:

"You know, this prohibition was actually arranged by him, in order to prevent me."

"Why?"

"After building the foundation, as long as I want, I can leave here, he also saw my thoughts, so he deliberately let me see these good things, although our sect is shabby now, but it was also prominent before, so after years of accumulation, the things here are naturally rare in the world, I saw it, and I was tempted, naturally thinking that I could steal them before leaving, but after he no longer opened here, he was hit by the ban, and it took a whole day for him to help me untie it, hum! And just like that, he tied me here again with these treasures. Oh, by the way, the secret path I came in was just to hide people's eyes, although he did despicable things, but he always wanted some face in front of his disciples, so only the two of us knew about our affairs. ”

The brilliance gradually dimmed, thinking that the treasures had been put into her storage bag by the senior sister, and she smiled when she walked out and let the young man look at the storage bag in her hand.

"It's all here, and with this, I can fly away and get out of this nasty place! Thanks to you, if you hadn't triggered the ban, I wouldn't have dared to go in again. Well, although he has bullied me for so long, this body cultivation and these treasures are all given by him, forget it, I didn't want to kill you, but I just want to return the favor of the dead ghost, and the two will not owe each other from now on. ”

In the secret room, the sword flashed!

Later, that small sect completely disappeared, leaving only the ruins and ruined buildings, the barren grass, the wild warblers chirping, the disciples of the sect had already scattered birds and beasts, only the unknown secret room still had a dry bone!

This is the end of the story.

(Self-talk: Alas, what I wrote was originally a story, and some small stories had to be written in the story, which was a bit painstaking, but between the beginning and the end, there were such small stories that could be considered to be more mellow, and of course they could also deceive some word counts, haha, there will be more of these small stories later, and there are not a few, all of them are for the purpose of the plot I designed, and this time two small stories were used, and there is one later.) ）
