Outside, the sky was dark, and the wind was cold and swaying.

I don't know how long it took, and Qiao Rui finished the last sentence with her head down.

In the room, the four walls were cold, there was no sound, and the candlelight was faint, as if it was revealing a coldness.

The maid Xiao Yun stood on the damp corridor, her hands tugging at the corners of her clothes, her face was a little frightened, half of her body leaned against the vermilion column, wanting to secretly stare at the people in the main hall, but she was afraid of being blamed, worried.

And finally.

After a long silence.

In the end, it was the escape that broke the silence.

"That is to say, Qiao Jingyi, the master of the White Business Academy, and Jushou, the master of the White Business Academy, are the people behind the scenes who hurt you? Especially the former, it was Qiao Jingyi who earned your sleeve, and then she went to your protective means, but ......"

"That wicked woman has always pretended to be very good in the past, and is like a sister to my young lady, who knew that she would do such evil things! In the early years, when her parents died outside the world, the old man took her to her side and raised her!

If there was no old man, how could she be where she is today? But there is such great kindness, the wicked woman—"

Then.

Xiao Yu in the corridor couldn't help but speak, his face flushed, and his hands trembled.

However, before she finished speaking, she was stopped by Qiao Rui by shaking her head lightly.

"She's not always like that...... When I was a child, she risked her life to save my life, if it weren't for her, I would have died a long time ago, and when I was in Baishangyuan, she always took good care of me. ”

Qiao Rui's lips moved, she lowered her head, her voice was a little dry, and she said sorry:

"I didn't expect her to be so ......"

Then.

The sound of the rain is getting louder and denser, and sitting in the house, the sound of the four walls is like a beating tide.

The leaves are falling, and the cold is rushing.

Chen Heng's gaze paused slightly on Qiao Rui's pale and blood-lost face, then looked away, brushed over her shoulder, and looked at the plum branch in the corner of the courtyard.

"And your grandfather Qiao Ding, now he and his Thai half-human hands are tripped in the Fa Shengtian, and they are flawless? In that case, it is indeed quite a trouble......"

The voice of the Escape Shuttle sounded in anguish:

"It seems that this is the case, where Mishan, you will never be able to go back, although the Qiao clan master has an ambiguous attitude, he may not be murderous to you, but there is no reason to hand over his life to the enemy.

As for returning to the White Commercial Academy, you said that Wu Shengzhen, the supervisor of the White Commercial Academy, has now gone to the outside of the world to listen to the lectures, and there is no such old man as a guard in the courtyard, plus Qiao Jingyi has been operating in the White Commercial Academy for many years, even if you return, during this time, I am afraid that you will not be able to sit back and relax, so ......"

Chen Heng suddenly spoke:

"Golden Drum Cave, how's that?"

Qiao Rui blinked at him and shook his head:

"Senior brother doesn't know, after the fourth uncle sent Aunt Qiao Yao to the Chiming Sect to learn the Tao, he locked up inside and outside, only concentrating on healing, I can't get in now, but I have already sent a message to my sister and several uncles, at most in a month, my sister will come back from the outside of the world and let people help me.

At that time, Jingyi and the clan lord's side of the family elders couldn't help me. ”

"Yueyu?"

Chen Heng's eyes moved slightly, thoughtful.

"Your sister, Big Joe Qiaowei? That Qiao Wei who learned the Tao in Yuan Zaitian? If she brings someone back to Mishan Qiao's family, you can really worry-free......"

Hearing this, the Escape Shuttle was taken aback at first, and then nodded again and again, and exclaimed:

"Not to mention your uncles, there is only one Qiao Wei, with her current status in Yuan Zaitian, it shouldn't be too difficult to keep you.

What's more, the head of the Qiao clan is not a bold person, I have heard of his reputation, this person must always leave three points of room for relaxation in his work, otherwise he will not have a stalemate with your grandfather for all these years.

That's good news......

Congratulations, congratulations! ”

"Even so, but there is still more than a month of effort, and I don't know if those people will jump off the wall in a hurry during this period?"

Xiao Yu mustered up the courage to speak, glanced at Chen Heng, gritted his teeth, leaned down and fell to the ground, and said:

"Since Chen Langjun scared away the two real people of the Qiao family, he must also have a back hand on him...... The servant is cheeky, can you ask Chen Langjun to be merciful and bless my girl for a few days?

If Lang Jun agrees, the old man will have a good reward in the future! I, Mishan Qiao's family, also owe Chen Langjun a big favor! ”

As soon as this sentence came out.

Even though this conjecture had already been faintly stored in his heart, he couldn't help but be taken aback and stood up from his seat.

He glanced at Chen Heng's complexion, then looked at Qiao Rui, pondered for a while, and said:

"What about you, what do you think?"

Qiao Rui lowered her head and bowed deeply to Chen Heng:

"I beg my brother to live my life......"

……

The dense rain was like a needle, blowing a corner of the window frame, and a lot of rain splashed in, ticking and ticking.

There was a brief silence in the room, and no voice answered.

Qiao Rui's face was pale, her heartbeat was a little chaotic, as if she couldn't bear such a quiet atmosphere, she raised her face, and the two looked at each other.

"You believe me?"

Chen Heng said.

"I believe in Senior Brother!"

Qiao Rui nodded vigorously.

When Chen Heng came to Changying Monastery to practice, she had received a letter from Jingu Cave, and it was precisely because of that letterhead that she would come to Jinting Mountain from Baishang Academy to see Chen Heng invite the clans to fight on Baishi Peak.

She may not believe Chen Heng.

But he never doubted Qiao Yubi......

Although it is far from the end of the mountain.

It was not uncommon for families to marry each other.

Even though Qiao Ding's position on the Yuchen faction is very resolute, there are still many in-laws of the family, and he has a wide range of contacts, so there are never few old protégés.

If you really want to find a place of refuge, you will not be unable to find it......

But in the face of life and death.

Qiao Rui didn't believe it, and she didn't dare to believe those people......

Then.

She noticed that Chen Heng was staring at her, and although she was apprehensive in her heart, she still looked back with a small face.

The man in the main seat leaned back in his chair, his eyes like a fire and his eyebrows clear.

Dressed in white, like the twilight rain outside the window, it is bleak and lonely, and it is reminiscent of the crane shadow in the cold pool for no reason, dissolving the cold moon.

"Okay."

A moment later.

In the room, Chen Heng looked at her quietly, and suddenly smiled, and his voice was calm:

"Since you believe in me, don't think I'm weak in cultivation, then I'll do my best to protect you for more than a month! It would be great if your family could pick you up before the Flowing Fire Honghua Cave Heaven opened, but it would be better if it was ...... later."

"I'm willing to go to the cave with my senior brother!"

"I'm in a lot of trouble."

Chen Heng shook his head.

"It can't get worse than it is now, senior brother...... Although I don't have a deep practice, I still do it when I let the wind go and guard the door, serve tea and water. ”

She smiled wryly:

"Please forgive Qiao Rui for being rude!"

At the same time, the little man on the corridor also fell to the ground and said nothing.

"If everything goes well, you can really enter the cave as you wish, this kid has a fierce battle with those people in the world, you must not treat it as a trivial matter, lest it will be too late to regret it."

The Escape Shuttle made a note on the side.

Seeing that Qiao Rui wanted to thank her again when she heard this, Chen Heng shook her head and stretched out his hand to stop her.

"I help you, it's not for you, it's just because of that Qiao Zhenjun in the Golden Drum Cave, you don't owe me anything, and you don't need to thank you like this."

"Senior brother?"

Chen Heng took out a bunch of keys from his sleeve and handed them over: "During this time, you will live in the North Wing for the time being, I can use a spell to cover the qi on your body, so that you are no different from mortals, but whether this can deceive those real people depends on the will of heaven." ”

Qiao Rui was stunned, hesitated to take the key, and seemed to hear that Chen Heng had the intention of sending off guests, and hurriedly bowed his head to leave.

However, before he took a few steps and left the main hall, another voice sounded behind him:

"Senior Sister Qiao, wait."

“……”

The Escape Shuttle shrugged his shoulders, as if he had guessed something, and then walked out of the main hall with a smile, and called out to the somewhat ignorant maid on the side, and said:

"Let's go, let's go! Although the courtyard here is not large, it is a small sparrow with all kinds of organs.

The north wing is not inhabited, these days, I am afraid that there is a lot of dust, since you want to live there, you will sprinkle one or two first, the old man will lead you, let the old man lead you! ”

"Yes, key, key......"

Before Xiao Yu came back to his senses, he was smiling and calling away by the Escape Shuttle.

Before leaving.

The Escape Shuttle also deliberately waved his hand, "bang", and closed the door with his backhand.

“……”

Just a few breaths.

The room was already quiet, and you could hear a needle dropping.

Qiao Rui was inexplicably a little flustered at this time, the four walls were quiet, and it was a lot darker in an instant.

Only the not-so-bright oil candle swayed out of the blurred light and shadow, like a splash of ink, swaying in the room.

"Teacher, senior brother?"

She was startled when she heard the sound of footsteps, clenched her hands slightly, and said:

"You-"

The words are not finished.

Suddenly, a strong wind sounded in my ears, and not only the door was shaken wide open, but even the carved wooden windows on all four sides were separated.

The field of vision suddenly cleared.

And the cold wind blew in with the cold rain, and there was no barrier, which also made Qiao Rui's shoulders shrink and shiver slightly.

"The predecessors have strange thoughts, but people are getting old, and their brains have become less clear. Where it was rude, I hope Senior Sister Qiao will not blame. ”

Qiao Rui suddenly felt a slight darkness in front of her at this time, and then something was handed over.

Chen Heng then spoke:

"I don't have any other intentions, I just want to give this thing to Senior Sister Qiao for self-protection."

And the thing that was handed over was a piece of yellowed rune paper cut into the shape of a small sword, about an inch long, and fluttered gently in his hand......

"Abyss Void Demon Sword Urn?"

Qiao Rui's eyes shrank slightly.

"Qiao Zhenjun once gave me three Yuanxu Demon Sword Urns, I have consumed one of them, this one, you will keep it in your hands for your own use, it is a means to protect your life, don't show it easily in front of people, so keep it for your life."

Chen Heng said lightly.

“……”

Qiao Rui looked up at him violently, and her eyes were very complicated for a moment.

He silently narrowed his eyes again, staring only at his toes, his hands clenched in his robe.

"People's hearts are as dangerous as mountains and rivers, it is difficult to know the sky, the sky still has a period of spring, summer, autumn, winter and summer, and people are affectionate. Therefore, there are good looks and wishes, there are long and unscrupulous, there are cautious and ruthless, there are strong and graceful, and there are slow and fierce ......"

Chen Heng took a few steps sideways, avoiding the continuous rain that floated up from the window.

The shadows of the two were stretched slender and cast on the wall in confusion.

When he stepped forward, Qiao Rui smelled a very faint incense, which was cold and cold, so that people couldn't tell whether it was incense or the plum blossoms in the corner of the courtyard.

"I don't mean to reproach me by saying this, and it's not my turn to beak anything. It's just that people's minds have changed, and when Senior Sister Qiao goes down the mountain in the future, she should pay more attention to it, and don't trust others. ”

After Chen Heng finished speaking, he stretched out his hand slightly and said the word "please", which meant sending off guests.

Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment, bowed to Chen Heng seriously, and nodded.

There was only a few distances between the two.

The light of the bean candle shining into his eyes was like throwing a bonfire into the abyss, and there was no movement, no sound, and no emotion could be seen.

"Thank you for your teachings, Qiao Rui must keep it in mind, but ......"

Qiao Rui raised her face, the corners of her lips slowly smiled, and suddenly said:

"Senior brother told me not to trust others...... Can I trust my brother? ”

"There is nothing wrong with being careful, and it is always good to take multiple precautions."

Chen Heng laughed and said lightly.

……

……

The lonely lamp is like a bean, and the sound of rain is slight.

Not much.

The Escape Shuttle sneaked out of the north wing, and was facing an oncoming person, he knew that he couldn't dodge, laughed, and said:

"How could it be so coincidental?"

"How big can this courtyard be, the seniors are running out of words."

Chen Heng shook his head: "Senior, please." ”

In desperation, the escape shuttle had to follow Chen Heng into the inner room.

But after closing the door, before the two of them could sit down, he began to call out to the sky:

"You need to know about the cultivation of the Tao, and it is only by one piece that it is the right principle in ancient times, not to mention that in the mortal world, it seems that at your age, it is not surprising that you have two or three heirs!

The old man is also your elder, so what's wrong with worrying about you? I don't have any bad intentions to play tricks on you! ”

"How can worldly truths be added to the body of a monk? I never had any intention of getting married, and my predecessors thought about it a lot. Now that we can't even predict life and death, how can we have time to distract from others? ”

Chen Heng shook his head and said:

"What's more, this move may be suspected of being a coercion in retribution, and I don't care about it."

Hearing this, Escape Shuttle's eyes flashed thoughtfully.

"I didn't call my seniors here for those trivial things, but I just wanted to ask my seniors to get an idea."

Chen Heng continued: "The current situation is already a former wolf and a tiger, if you are in the middle of the cliffs, if you are not careful, you will never recover...... According to the meaning of the predecessors, should we continue to stay in this Zhao country, or will we find another place to live? ”

Escape Shuttle thought for a moment and shook his head:

"There is not much money left, it is difficult to move too far, according to the old man's meaning, this move, it is better not to move, leave it until the time of crisis, and then do it.

Besides, this Zhao country is far away from that mountain, but it is far away, although the old man is not as powerful as those killing magic weapons, but he has some experience in moving the void and restraining the qi. With the help of the old man, coupled with your bokeh amalgamation technique, it should be enough to cover up a thing or two! ”

There was a sense of confidence in his voice, as if he was confident.

And Chen Heng's eyes flashed, and after thinking about it, he could only be.

"It seems that this is the only way to do it."

He sighed.

And at this time.

Outside the courtyard, there was a sudden sound of firecrackers, and the shouting of people's voices was very bustling and lively.

However, the bleak cold scene between heaven and earth was slightly dispersed, and there was a little more smell of fireworks in the market.

Although the freezing rain is still continuous, it is not much damage.

"The end of the year is approaching, this is going to be lively......"

Now.

The eyes of the retreat shuttle were slightly in a trance, stunned for a moment, and then laughed at Chen Heng:

"There is a way to renew one, and everything is renewed! Boy, this is a good sign, you will be able to get what you want, and the old man is here to congratulate you first! ”

"In this way, then I borrowed the auspicious words of my predecessors."

Chen Heng arched his hand and smiled.
