That night, Duanmu Shenjiu took Wu Hou to visit Gu Jiajie, and accompanied by his master, Wu Hou sincerely apologized to Gu Jiajie and asked Gu Qinghui to retaliate with him, which made him breathe this out.

It's just a pity that Gu Qinghui was arranged by his parents to go shopping with Kong Yanzhu, and he didn't return in the middle of the night, and he couldn't see Wu Hou, who came to apologize. But even if Gu Qinghui comes back, Gu Jiajie will not let his son treat Wu Hou in the same way, in his eyes, Wu Hou is still a child, and it is already very good that the child has made a mistake, and he can recognize the mistake and actively correct it.

But after that, Gu Jiajie had a selfish intention, just like what the old man said to Gu Qinghui that night, Gu Qinghui's sword must be stronger than Wuhou's sword, Gu Jiajie also had this idea in his heart, and he hoped that Gu Qinghui's achievements in the martial arts in the future would be higher than Wuhou. For Qi Anqiao, he understood Mai Wenxiang's status in Wu Hou's mind, and knew that he couldn't force his son's relationship with this girl in the future, in case he angered Wu Hou again, it would still be a trouble.

Although Zhang Huaiya was very dissatisfied with the beating of his goddaughter, but now that Duanmu Shenjiu took Wu Hou to apologize, he couldn't say anything more, one was that Duanmu Shenjiu was his life-saving benefactor, and the other was that even if Zhang Huaiya was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do, after all, the gap between himself and Duanmu Shenjiu was really worlds apart, but looking at Wu Hou's swollen old cheeks, Zhang Huaiya was somewhat angry.

The master and apprentice left the Gu family late at night, in addition to apologizing, several people chatted for a long time at the Gu family, Duanmu Shenjiu talked very happily, and talked to everyone about the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes, recalling the past events of his own era, together with the beauty on the painting, also said to everyone. It was at this time that Zhang Huaiya knew that the Wan'er in Duanmu Shenjiu's mouth was the female swordsman that Kong Yanzhu admired, Zichuguan Qingzhou, Wan'er was her nickname, and only Duanmu Shenjiu was called like this.

It is no wonder that thousands of years have passed since this woman, and there are still people who yearn for her from the literature that only says a few words, and the woman who can form a Taoist couple with Duanmu Shenjiu has the same style as the world.

After the master and apprentice left, Duanmu Shenjiu accompanied Wu Hou to the riverside again, under the watchful eye of the master, Wu Hou jumped into the river again, and when the tide came, they went hand in hand, seventy-two kinds of knife techniques and three thousand slashes, which were already able to be cut out in one go, this is the most substantial feedback for Wu Hou this time, both of them were happy about it, and they did not choose to go back until it was almost dawn.

Not a few days later, it was the day of the competition, and the sound of firecrackers sounded in the Yizheng Lian in the early morning, wishing Duanmu Shenjiu a great victory, in fact, everyone knows that Duanmu Shenjiu will win this competition, but still light a firecracker, a good luck.

Before going out, Mu Haisen gave Wu Hou the key to his broken car, and asked him to drive Duanmu Shenjiu to Tianxi Mountain, Wu Hou was also bold and had never driven it, so he took the key generously.

The result can be imagined, Wu Hou drove the car, all the way to stop and go, extremely bumpy, shaking Duanmu Shenjiu felt a burst of dizziness, after slowing down at every intersection, if you speed up again, you will inevitably turn off, I don't know how many times the fire has been turned off on the road, before coming to the vicinity of Tianxi Mountain, at this time there is still a few kilometers away from Tianxi Mountain.

When the car passed a ditch on the road, it was another violent bump, Duanmu Shenjiu, who was sitting in the car in the bump, hit his head on the top, and he glared at Wu Hou fiercely, so frightened that Wu Hou looked at his nose and nose, and did not dare to move with his hand on the steering wheel. According to Wu Hou's driving, even if the car has five years of life, it will never survive for two years in Wu Hou's hands, especially the steering wheel, which is shaky and may break at any time.

After walking another kilometer, Wu Hou did not control the speed of the car when turning, and almost caused it to roll over due to the excessive speed, and at the last critical moment, if it was not for Duanmu Shenjiu's force, the car would really have to roll over into the ditch. In the end, fortunately stood on the side of the road, there was no danger, although the overturned car to the two people could not be harmed, but it would always make the two embarrassed, Wu Hou secretly rejoiced that the master reacted quickly, and at the critical moment he used a jack to fall to the car to the ground steadily, but unfortunately, after landing, the steering wheel was broken in Wu Hou's hands.

Wu Hou held the steering wheel and looked at the master embarrassedly, seeing that he had a gloomy face, he was a little annoyed.

"It's... This steering wheel is too sturdy..."Wu Hou blamed the steering wheel for not being firm.

Duanmu Shenjiu got out of the car angrily, looked at the direction of Tianxi Mountain, and looked left and right on the road, there was no passing car, he helplessly ordered Wu Hou to get out of the car, and then held up the car without a steering wheel with one hand, rose from the ground, one step more than ten zhang, and quickly jumped to Pinghuang Mountain.

Wu Hou looked at the distant master in surprise, looked down at the steering wheel in his hand, and said depressedly: "Wait for me!" before striding after Duanmu Shenjiu.

On Mt. Tenki.

The ring of the martial arts competition in the manor has been built, not so much as building, but rather laying a layer of cloth in the artificial lake, fixed between the wooden stakes and the wooden stakes, and the wind will shake up and down, which looks very unstable, this is the ring of today's martial arts competition.

At this time, the manor was already full of people, and the people from all over the country who heard the news came here early, and most of them came here with thousands of names. After hearing that Youmanqian was going to compete with others, everyone was excited and looking forward to it, because they could see the eight masters compete with others, unless it was at the martial arts ceremony once every ten years, the rest of the opportunities were too few.

But at the same time of anticipation, there is also a lot of curiosity, curious about who it is, and it is worth handing over the challenge book to Youmanqian.

Among the small part of the remaining, only those who know Duanmu Shenjiu are here for Duanmu Shenjiu, some time ago, after Huashan Sanjia did the first bird to grab Qi Tiandu, his vitality was greatly injured, and since then everyone has not moved, no one dares to fight for Qi Tianduel by force, and they are all waiting for an opportunity. The people who came here today to see the Duanmu Shenjiu martial arts competition actually had their own ghosts, but everyone was also curious, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd in this competition.

There were also several reporters sitting under the gazebo with their cameras, waiting for the competition to begin, ready to record the wonderful moments with their cameras. These reporters were specially arranged by Gu Jiajie, they belong to a newspaper that specializes in shooting strange people and strange things, and the reporters in the company are also some trained Jianghu students, who are not strange to people who practice martial arts, and they travel all year round to capture the footage of martial arts skills, and then send them out by the newspaper.

However, the circle in which this newspaper publishes news is very unique, not for civilians, but only for the rich and powerful upper class, as well as various major factions, and Jianghu warriors living in various places, in short, the news of this newspaper can only be seen by those rich and Jianghu people, and it is not open to ordinary people.

According to the original plan of several people, this time Sang Jun arranged for Yu Manqian to compete with Duanmu Shenjiu, and the battle book wrote that Yizheng Lian Duanmu Shenjiu, that is to say, for those who don't know Duanmu Shenjiu, the name Yizheng Lian is the most memorable, after Duanmu Shenjiu's victory, the name of Yizheng Lian, after the propaganda of these reporters, will definitely spread to all corners of the rivers and lakes and high society in the shortest possible time.

This is the result that Gu Jiajie, who is bent on promoting the competition, is most willing to see. Since the collapse of the Martial Arts Alliance, Gu Jiajie has been haunted by the failure of his master's ideals to be achieved, and the severance of the rivers and lakes is even more unwilling to see it, but even if the Martial Arts Alliance is reorganized now, it is no longer the Martial Arts Alliance of the past, because of Jiang Lei, Cheng Biting Jin, who was killed halfway.

According to the rules of inheriting his father's business in the rivers and lakes, as long as the Martial Arts League is reorganized, Jiang Lei has the right to compete, even if everyone is dedicated to promoting Gu Jiajie as the leader of the alliance, Jiang Lei can also use the relationship with the old alliance leader and father and son to drag the Martial Arts League to its downfall, which is also the reason why everyone said that the Martial Arts League was reorganized last time, but Gu Jiajie refused.

In this way, we can only create another martial arts alliance, and if the first person in the ancient martial arts, Duanmu Shenjiu, belongs to the Yizheng Lian, if it can shine on the rivers and lakes and attract the yearning of martial artists from all over the world, then the Yizheng Lian will become the next martial arts alliance, a sect that not only has lofty ideals, but also has the strength to support lofty ideals.

Youmanqian had already arrived, followed by Sang Jun, together with Yan Qiushuang and the three of them, drove to Tianxi Mountain, and after they parked the car at the door, they walked into the manor. Not long after they walked in, Duanmu Shenjiu held the car in one hand and also fell to the gate of the manor, followed by Wu Hou, who was holding the steering wheel, and traveled several kilometers all the way, Wu Hou's face was not red and he was not panting.

When Duanmu Shenjiu put the car down, Wu Hou noticed that there was a bicycle in the parking lot at the door, which looked a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Sang Jun took You Manqian and Yan Qiushuang together and found Gu Jiajie in the stands, which were a row of elegant seats for distinguished guests and wealthy businessmen, and as for the rest of the people watching the martial arts, let them find places around the lake casually.

Sang Jun walked to Gu Jiajie's side and sat down, Yan Qiushuang and You Manqian stood behind him, next to Gu Jiajie stood Ajie, and then there were Zhang Huaiya, Kong Yanzhu, and Ma Rulian from Dingyang Mountain, Xue Zan from Jinzhaoting, and Wu Fuhai from the Fuhai Gang. Liu Shiwu of the Liu Group said that he would come before, but after Gu Qinghui and Liu Hongfei had a conflict, he was delayed today, and it seems that he does not plan to come.

The people in the stands looked at the lake, and the surrounding area was already full of people, waiting for the competition to begin. Kong Yanzhu's face was swollen, her mood recovered, and she didn't know how Zhang Huaiya persuaded her, she didn't mention anything about Wu Hou in the past two days, she looked at Yu Manqian standing behind Sang Jun, the only swordsman among the eight masters, with average appearance, average figure, and rough skin, thinking that it was because she was destroyed by the wind and sand when she practiced knives in the desert. At this time, he was closing his eyes and recuperating, ignoring the noise around him, holding an ordinary iron knife in his arms, and his expression was calm.

Kong Yanzhu asked Zhang Huaiya in a low voice, "Godfather, is this Youmanqian? It looks very ordinary." ”

Youmanqian's eyelids moved slightly, and Zhang Huaiya smiled: "Yes, the first swordsman in the northwest, Youmanqian, the eighth master is ranked fifth, and his strength is very powerful." ”

Kong Yanzhu pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "The first swordsman in the northwest, who sealed it?"

Zhang Huaiya was suddenly dumbfounded.

In the crowd around the lake, a figure was revealed, and Zhang Huaiya saw it at a glance, he immediately showed surprise, and wanted to turn his head away and not let this person see him, but this person's eyes had already looked over.

That person and Zhang Huaiya bowed their heads, and in the shocked eyes of everyone, they jumped up directly and landed on the stands.

When the people in the stands saw this person, they were all displeased, especially Gu Jiajie.

Ma Rulian shouted: "Jiang Lei! You dare to come here!"

This person is Jiang Lei, who is the same as Zhang Huaiya, and he is the thirteenth person of Yuding, who came with him, and Wei Chengfeng, who stood in the position where Jiang Lei was standing just now.

Jiang Lei looked at everyone and smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Why? Can't you come? Isn't this place accessible to anyone? Jiang Lei looked at Gu Jiajie.

Gu Jiajie's gloomy face flashed, quickly returned to normal, stood up and said with a smile, "Senior brother, don't come unharmed, hehe." ”

Jiang Lei showed that he was very familiar with Gu Jiajie, and said politely: "I'm very good, but junior brother, I heard that Liu Shiwu's son was cut off by your people, you are so generous to sit here, don't you worry about Liu Shiwu's people going to your house to arrest your son?"

Gu Jiajie was slightly stunned, and the rest of the people around him were also stunned, Gu Jiajie replied: "The child is not sensible and does things in a sense of proportion, this matter will be solved privately with Boss Liu, and there is no need to worry about the senior brother." ”

"I don't know what senior brother is doing this time, Master's martial arts alliance is gone, is there anything else worth remembering in this Hangzhou City?" Gu Jiajie asked Jiang Lei rhetorically.

Jiang Lei glanced at everyone and replied, "Yes, I am worried about immortality. ”

After hearing this, everyone laughed, especially Ma Rulian, who laughed and said: "Just you, are you still worried about Qi Tiandu? He can crush you to death with one finger." ”

"Can't he crush you with one finger?" Jiang Lei looked at Ma Rulian and asked rhetorically, "High-sounding to this one, who of you doesn't care about the Qi Tian decision? Hehe, it's really ridiculous." ”

Ma Rulian was about to quarrel with Jiang Lei again, but Gu Jiajie interrupted loudly, not wanting the two to grind their tongues anymore, so she said, "The person who comes is a guest, senior brother, please take a seat." ”

Jiang Lei glanced at Ma Rulian with a smile, his eyes swept over Ajie behind Gu Jiajie, and then chose a position close to Zhang Huaiya, sat down as if no one was around, and after a while, Wei Chengfeng came to the stands, stood behind Jiang Lei, and looked directly at Kong Yanzhu who was sitting next to Zhang Huaiya.

Jiang Lei looked at Kong Yanzhu and said, "Yanzhu, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't say hello when I see Uncle Jiang." ”

Kong Yanzhu squeezed out a smile, but did not say anything, and then Jiang Lei and Zhang Huaiya said: "Lao Zhang, what, ignore me?"

Zhang Huaiya glanced at Jiang Lei and didn't give a good look. Jiang Lei smiled again: "Your trip to Hangzhou is really secret, if I don't come here today, I really won't see you." ”

"What? are you going to sue Director Wu for me?" Zhang Huaiya said sarcastically, "Is that all you have to do?"

Jiang Lei hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, no, I'm not that kind of person, besides, you and Gu Jiajie are good friends, and Director Wu doesn't know, he doesn't know anything, is there anything in this Jianghu that can hide it from him?" The implication is that this Jianghu has nothing to hide from Yu Ding.

Gu Jiajie frowned slightly, Zhang Huaiya looked at Jiang Lei with a gloomy face, and wanted to slap him in his heart, Kong Yanzhu noticed that someone was looking at him, turned his head to look over, and glanced at Wei Chengfeng, Wei Chengfeng was a little embarrassed, and lowered his head crampedly.

Under the promenade by the lake, there was a woman sitting on a long chair, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a beautiful face, long hair fluttering, and a white dress like a fairy, which attracted a lot of attention from the surroundings, and she sat here timidly, not daring to look up, but from time to time she looked up at the surrounding crowd looking for something.

Some people recognize her, it is Li Nuan of Yuchun'an, if nothing else, she is the successor of the next head.

After Shimen got the news that Duanmu Shenjiu was going to compete in martial arts this time, he specially sent her here, called watching the competition, but in fact, it was to take a look at the situation. Since the last time Master met with many fellow Daoists here, after Shi Youen told the whereabouts of Duanmu Shenjiu, Master has been chanting the sentence of the fifth floor and twelve cities for several days after he went back, and then he has never walked out of Yuchun Nunnery, and all the big and small things have been handed over to himself.

This trip, in addition to the idea of taking a look at the situation in the rivers and lakes, Li Nuan also wanted to see what the legendary thousand-year-old demon looked like, and I heard the master say that the title of this person's demon was mostly fake.

Martial arts have the distinction between good and evil, after the true qi is transformed, the martial artist mobilizes the internal force, when the true qi is released, after reaching a certain extent, it will naturally emit a streamer, most of the righteous martial artists are bright colors, such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and the evil demon head, is a dull black gray, although it is not possible to judge the true good and evil of the martial artist in a narrow way by looking at the color, but the color plays a very important role in judging to a large extent.

There are a few people chatting around,

"Hey, brothers, have any of you ever heard of Yizhenglian?

"I haven't heard of it, Duanmu Shenjiu, it's weird to hear the name. ”

"Yes, isn't it self-sufficient to compete with the eight masters? Although Youmanqian is at the bottom of the ranking of the eight masters, his real combat power can be ranked in the top three. ”

Someone listened to the chatter of the three people in front of him, sighed and said: "Alas, you can't say that, don't you know? This time, it was the battle book under Youmanqian's initiative, and it was he who wanted to challenge that Duanmu Shenjiu, so it is not difficult to see that this Duanmu Shenjiu must also have some ability." ”

Someone else whispered: "Haven't you heard of the name Duanmu Shenjiu? There are rumors among the bigwigs of various sects on the rivers and lakes that this person is an immortal who has not died for thousands of years, has a handsome appearance, and still looks like a young brother after living for thousands of years. ”

"How handsome can he be?" an abrupt voice came, and the person who asked was none other than Duanmu Shenjiu.

When a few people heard someone asking, they looked over and saw a man with long hair fluttering in front of him, his aura was extraordinary, and the jade tree was in the wind, if it wasn't for the flat chest and just looking at the face, I am afraid that it would be impossible to tell whether this person was a man or a woman.

The person who spoke just now looked at this extremely good-looking face and hesitated, "I'm afraid I'm as handsome as you." ”

Wu Hou followed behind Duanmu Shenjiu, and when he saw his master's chin bowed, he said, "You are too humble." ”

The master and apprentice continued to walk forward, and several people continued to chat.

"How many years did you say he lived? Thousands of years? This man can't be a king bastard, right? haha......"

Duanmu Shenjiu, who hadn't gone far, stopped slightly, his face couldn't help but smile, without the slightest anger, just Wu Hou, and looked back at the man unhappily.
