"Invite Liu Gongzi to the wing room for a while. Chu Yunshan said. The two disciples stepped forward to help Liu Yuanjun and sent her to the wing. You Jinwen bowed down and asked, "Master, should you send someone to guard it strictly?" Chu Yunshan thought for a while and replied, "Send people to guard the door in shifts day and night to restrict his movements. Three meals a day are mixed with our unique secret medicine, which only makes him temporarily lose his internal strength, and he cannot use martial arts or hurt his life. ”

"Yes! obey orders!" You Jinwen was ordered to retreat.

Let's say that Chu Qing'an and Dao Xueke fell off the cliff one after another, falling downward, faster and faster, but the distance between the two was not far away. Dao Xueke stretched out his arms and tried to reach Na Chu Qing'an, and the hands of the two were tightly clasped together. Dao Xueke suddenly turned around and protected Chu Qing'an in his arms, wanting to land on his back when he fell, maybe he could give Chu Qing'an a glimmer of life. And in this cliff, no matter how high your martial arts are, if you fall to the bottom of the cliff, it will be just a mess of meat. And that Chu Qing'an felt the warmth of Dao Xueke's embrace, and the tears couldn't stop flying upward, her eyes were slightly closed, and she put the somewhat pale lips on the Dao Xueke's lips. Dao Xueke suddenly felt a warmth between his lips, and his lips, which had been somewhat chapped, gradually moistened. The two of them gave and demanded the warmth in each other's mouths, and it was difficult to separate for a while, and Dao Xueke couldn't help but close his eyes. After a long time, I was reluctant to separate. Dao Xueke opened his eyes and looked at Chu Qing'an, who was blushing with shame, and Chu Qing'an also opened his eyes and stared at Dao Xueke. The two of them did not have the sadness before they died, but both had smiles on their faces.

"Do you regret coming down?" Chu Qing'an asked softly, Dao Xueke didn't answer, but just hugged her in his arms again, and both of them closed their eyes and quietly waited for death to come. The two of them were about to fall to the bottom, and the cliff above them could only reveal a ray of light, and the sound of the waterfall scouring the stones into the river and splashing became clearer and clearer. Seeing that he was about to reach the bottom of the cliff, a black shadow flashed on a stone by the waterfall, and the black shadow was a white-haired old man wearing a hat, sackcloth, and tattered clothes. The old man stretched out his arms like bamboo poles, his palms suddenly opened, and an invisible internal force unfolded, like ripples scattered in circles. Dao Xueke and Chu Qing'an felt that their bodies were getting heavier and heavier, but the speed of their fall gradually slowed down, and they felt that their bodies seemed to be wrapped in a warm smoke, and their bodies were soft as if they had fallen on a soft futon.

I heard a deafening explosion all around, as if lightning had struck a boulder, and then fell into the river, splashing the huge waves several feet high, drenching the two of them.

The two finally landed at the bottom of the cliff, but their eyes were still closed, and the Knife Snow Ke reached out and touched the damp and hard rock beneath him, confirming that they had fallen to the bottom of the valley, but that they were unharmed. "Ah Xue, have we fallen to the bottom of the cliff? But why doesn't it hurt at all?" Dao Xueke was also full of doubts, and just wanted to answer, only to feel a pain in his head, as if he had been beaten by a bamboo pole. Dao Xueke Chu Qing'an and the two exclaimed together: "Oops!"

A shrill old voice sounded, "Don't open your eyes yet!" and the two remembered to open their eyes. Unexpectedly, although the light under the cliff was dim, there was only a glimmer of light above the head, and the direction of the water, the little light between the two rock walls, but it could also be called a unique cave, not desolate. The waterfall stirs up a thousand waves, the gravel chokes the stream, the strange trees and strange branches grow in the rock, and the spirit flowers and plants grow in the water. There is also a cave on top of the rock wall that is several zhang wide in length and width. There seemed to be a fire flickering in the cave.

The two looked at the bamboo pole that had beaten them, and along the bamboo pole they saw a thin and black withered hand, which was like a pine branch that had grown for thousands of years, and its skin had long been black and cracked, and it was no different from the bark of a tree. Looking at the owner of the hand, it was an extremely short and thin old man, and the old man's skin was the same as that hand, with ravines and ravines. A fluffy white hair has many knots in place, and it grows in a mess on the head, if the grass is overgrown and lifeless, it can really be described as unkempt. And the old man was dressed more like a beggar, with tattered clothes, and his thin and black skin was exposed in many places because of the holes, and his feet were bare, and his arms like two bamboo poles and branches were completely exposed, and in his hands he was holding a yellowed bamboo pole, the head of which was already cracked. The old man's mouth was crooked, and his face seemed to have a scar left by a sword wound, and his face was extremely terrifying and a little obscene. Those eyes were also devoid of aura, barely visible pupils, like blind people.

Dao Xueke and Chu Qing'an hurriedly stood up, Chu Qing'an kept jumping, wanting to talk about the wet clothes and shaking dry, while Dao Xueke looked around, saw the strange scenery under the waterfall, and saw the gravel all over the ground, thinking of the earth-shattering noise when the two of them fell, and thought that it must be the obscene old man in front of him who saved the two of them, and he could transfer the force of the two of them to the rock, so as to unload the force, this old man is definitely not what he looks like in front of him. Dao Xueke bowed down and thanked him: "Thank you seniors for your rescue." ”

"Thank him for what he did, looking at his appearance, he must not have saved us, besides, even if he saved us, then why did he beat us?" Chu Qing'an pouted and said.

The old man laughed when he heard this: "If I don't beat you, are you going to sit here for a day and a night? What a sharp-mouthed girl! But in this case, Lao Tzu hasn't seen a woman for decades!"

Seeing that ugly appearance, Chu Qing'an couldn't help but take half a step back in fright, and Dao Xueke protected Chu Qing'an and bowed down and said: "Qing'an is rude, the younger generation of Qing'an apologizes to the seniors in this generation." After saying that, he gently stabbed Chu Qing'an with his back elbow, and Chu Qing'an reluctantly hugged his fists and said: "Fang is my rudeness, and I hope that my predecessors will forgive my sins." ”

The old man smiled again: "Are you husband and wife?" This casual question made Dao Xueke Chu Qing'an and the others embarrassed, but they just twisted and pinched, and were silent. "Hehe, this kid is quite polite, but this girl is sharp and willful. Boy, you'll be in the future!" the old man chuckled twice, and went down to the cave.

"It's not for you. Chu Qing'an was so damaged by the obscene old man in front of him, he was displeased, he twitched his nose disapprovingly, and stood still with his arms crossed. Dao Xueke just smiled and pulled Chu Qing'an, now it is not like a matter of life and death, the two of them can't help but kiss when they show their true feelings, and now that they have calmed down, of course they will not be as hot as before. But Dao Xueke still subconsciously touched his lips, but Chu Qing'an grabbed his hand and said coquettishly: "Dengzi, what are you doing?" Dao Xueke said helplessly. Chu Qing'an blushed again when he heard this, and suddenly slapped a palm on Dao Xueke's shoulder, but his strength was not great: "If you dare to say it, this girl will definitely want you to look good!" Dao Xueke also just chuckled, and pushed the wet hair on his cheeks to his ears for Chu Qing'an.

"Don't come in yet!" the old man's voice echoed from the depths of the cavern, and the voice was irresistible. Chu Qingan was still hesitating, but Dao Xueke said: "Since he saved us, he won't harm us if he wants to." Besides, we can't stand forever, but it's better to go in. Chu Qing'an finally nodded, grabbed the corner of Dao Xueke's clothes, and the two of them entered the cave one after the other.

The cave was not narrow, but it was very spacious, more empty than spacious. The cave was like the same stone hall, but it lacked furniture, so it seemed empty. In the stone hall that is enough to live more than a dozen people, there is only one stone bed, and two or three steps in front of the stone bed is a bonfire, which is burning vigorously, and the light of the fire outside the stone cave should be the light of this bonfire. With the bonfire, the stone hall is also bright, fortunately, there is still wind blowing into the stone cave, so although the old man lives sloppy, the stone hall is not a stench, except for the old man and these sundries and a bundle of firewood in the corner of the wall, a fat man squatting in front of the stone bed and gnawing on grilled fish, there is nothing else in this stone hall.

"The environment here is so poor, how can it be a place for people to live. "Chu Qing'an, as the eldest lady of Yiye Sword Sect, has been pampered since she was a child, where has she ever seen such a harsh environment, so it is reasonable that her face is full of surprise. And Dao Xueke has suffered a tragedy since he was a child, and after so many years of wandering the rivers and lakes, he has seen more and suffered a lot, this environment is nothing to him.

"Poor environment?" the old man leaned the bamboo pole against the side of the bed, turned over on the stone bed, sat cross-legged and said with a smile, "Lao Tzu has already lived here... Lived for thirty years. ”

Chu Qing'an saw that although the old man was old and sloppy, he was only sixty or seventy years old at most, could it be that he had been living under this cliff since he was twenty years old? Moreover, as the eldest lady of Yiye Sword Sect, she had never heard Chu Yunshan mention that there was such a scene under this cliff, so she thought that the old man was lying: "You are a liar! You are only sixty or seventy years old at most, could it be that you have been here since you were a child?"

The old man laughed and said, "Hahaha, girl, you are wrong. Lao Tzu is counting the days all the time, and he has never stopped fighting here for 30 years, and he is already 100 years old this year!"

Chu Qing'an was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, but quickly calmed down, his eyes widened, and he still said stiffly: "I don't believe it." ”

"Believe it or not. The old man snorted coldly and said, "What a hard-mouthed girl!"

And when Chu Qing'an was arguing with the old man, Dao Xueke's eyes never left the fat man who was still bowing his head and gnawing on the grilled fish. The fat man was also ragged and unkempt, no different from the old man. It's just that the more Dao Xueke looks at it, the more familiar it feels, as if he has seen that demeanor and movement there. When the fat man finished eating the grilled fish and raised his head, Dao Xueke's frowning brows immediately stood up, and Dao Xueke broke off and shouted: "Chen Wuqiao!" rushed forward and grabbed Chen Wuqiao's clothes, picked him up, gritted his teeth and said: "Chen Wuqiao! You caused Brother Cheng to be seriously injured and didn't wake up! I didn't expect to bump into you here today." I'm going to get it back from you!"

Who knew that Chen Wuqiao didn't answer, but his eyes were full of horror, his face kept trembling because of fear, his feet kicked on the ground, and his hands kept slapping Dao Xueke's hand dragging his clothes, for fear that Dao Xueke would kill him, and shouted vaguely: "Don't kill me... Don't kill me..."

"Do you know this fat man?" asked the old man.

Chu Qing'an saw that Dao Xueke was like this, he was also worried and understood, and when he saw the old man asking, he replied softly: "He is the great protector of the Qiankun Sect, called Chen Wuqiao. ”

"Qiankun faction?" the old man rolled his godless eyes, as if he was thinking, and continued for a long time, "Oh, is it the Qiankun faction that Qiao Butong?"

Although the Qiankun faction has a bad reputation, it can be regarded as a powerful faction, and the head of the Qiankun faction, Qiao Butong, is a master among the masters, and he has been in charge of the Qiankun faction for more than 40 years, even Chu Yunshan has to respect him for three points, I don't want this old man to call him so, the expression is light and not like boasting, Chu Qingan is also quite surprised, and he has more fear and respect for the old man: "Do you always know the head of Qiao?"

When the old man heard this, he seemed to be disdainful, but he snorted coldly and said, "Lao Tzu is not familiar with him, but he is just a junior." However, Lao Tzu and his master had a relationship. At that time, I also strongly persuaded his master Shang Yu not to pass on the throne to him, I looked at the kid with thief eyebrows, not like a good thing. I didn't want his master to disobey my good advice, so I still let that kid be the head. ”

Chu Qing'an smiled when he heard this: "It seems that you are really right, I heard that in the past forty years that Qiao Butong has taken over the Qiankun faction, the first twenty years have been nothing, and the last twenty years have completely ruined his master's reputation! This Chen Wuqiao is one of the lackeys. ”

The old man also smiled and said, "It seems that Lao Tzu inadvertently saved a dog!"

"This Chen Wuqiao and many disciples of the Qiankun Sect and the Yiye Sword Sect have all disappeared for a few days, why did they appear here alone?" asked Chu Qing'an.

When the old man heard this, he thought about it again, and said slowly, "A few days ago, Lao Tzu was about to go out to sea to catch some fish, but he never thought that this fat man would fall off the cliff, and Lao Tzu saved him casually as soon as he was kind. No, today you two also fell, and Lao Tzu also saved you two. But this fat man was not so lucky, he was extremely injured internally, and was killed by someone, Lao Tzu spent a lot of effort to save him back, I didn't want to save a dog of Qiao Butong, it was really a miscalculation! But fortunately, although he survived, he was also delirious, like a little child. Lao Tzu simply let me stay here, so that I can relieve my boredom. ”

Chen Wuqiao, who was caught by Dao Xueke, was still struggling, shouting vaguely from time to time: "Don't kill me... Don't kill me. Dao Xueke heard that he was delirious, his heart was puzzled, and he was soft-hearted, and when he was about to put him down, Chen Wuqiao shouted out clearly: "You Jinwen, don't kill me!"

This time the knife Xueke was even more puzzled, but Chu Qingan was surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Chen Wuqiao and asked, "What did you just say?

Chen Wuqiao shouted vaguely: "You Jinwen, don't kill me... Don't kill me......"

Chu Qing'an had an expression of disbelief: "Do you mean that my senior brother retreated you off the cliff?" Impossible, impossible, senior brother has no reason to do that." Although Chu Qing'an didn't admit it, he already had three doubts in his heart, and suddenly recalled the burned grass ash and black residue he found on the cliffside that day, and he couldn't think of them together. Seeing that she was so confused and painful, Dao Xueke gently hugged her and said, "Maybe he said nonsense after he went insane, if you trust Senior Brother You, you don't have to take it to heart." Or you can ask him again when you have the opportunity to go back in the future. Although he also wanted to inform Chu Qing'an of the person who looked like You Jinwen who Liu Yuanjun had seen, he couldn't bear to open his mouth when he saw her like this. Chu Qing'an received a hint of comfort, reluctantly showed a little smile, and nodded.

When the old man heard this, he jumped up from the bed, and a somersault fell to the ground, picked up the bamboo pole beside the bed, and said vigilantly: "Senior brother, on top of this cliff is a leaf sword gate, can you become a disciple of a leaf sword gate?"

"Yes, we are the disciples of the Yiye Sword Sect!" Chu Qing'an said disdainfully.

"Then you are Chu Yunshan's disciples?" the old man asked again. Chu Qing'an replied: "Yiye Sword Sect has been founded for more than 30 years, but it is still the master of Chumen, of course we are the disciples of the master of Chumen!"

When the old man heard this, he became excited, and he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha, it doesn't take any effort to get here!" Chu Yunshan, if you send two apprentices with your own hands today, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" When Dao Xueke heard this, he saw that the old man seemed to have the intention of harming him, so he stood in front of Chu Qing'an and bowed down and hugged his fist and said, "The senior and the master of Chumen seem to have a grudge?"

"What's more, there is a grudge!" The old man slowly put down the bamboo pole that was raised above his head, the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a few yellow teeth, and said slowly: "Lao Tzu is now at the bottom of this cliff, and these eyes, this face is full of scars, all thanks to him! Thirty years ago, Lao Tzu was practicing alone on this mountain, and when he saw that my divine skills were about to be practiced to the seventh layer, and when he was about to break through, he was attacked by that Chuyun Mountain. He almost went mad, and while I fainted, he disfigured my face and threw me off a cliff. Thirty years of life is worse than death, all because of him. ”

"Nonsense!" Although Chu Qing'an had just had a big quarrel with Chu Yunshan, after all, the father-daughter relationship was deep, and when he saw this obscene old man insulting his father, he retorted, "You said that you fainted, so how do you know that it was the Lord of Chumen who ruined your appearance and threw you off the cliff!"

"Who is he? At that time, it was only him and Lao Tzu on this mountain. Besides, it was he who attacked first, even if he hadn't thrown Lao Tzu off the cliff, my eyes were also blind because of his sneak attack, and this incident was caused by him! If it weren't for him, how would you have come to the bottom of this cliff?"

Chu Qing'an's atmosphere became more and more intense, flashing out from behind Dao Xueke, and arguing with the old man face to face: "Impossible! My father treats people generously, travels chivalrous in all directions, and has a wide range of heroes in the world, how can he be the kind of villain who sneaks up on others! Besides, the two of us jumped off the cliff voluntarily, and it has nothing to do with my father!" Chu Qing'an was anxious for a while, but he didn't want to reveal his identity.

"Haha!" The old man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then became more and more excited, laughed twice, and the dirty and short figure jumped in front of Chu Qing'an, and Chu Qing'an, who was frightened, took half a step back, "I just waited for two little apprentices, I didn't want to wait for the hypocrite's daughter! Today, I will kill his daughter first to avenge the sneak attack thirty years ago!"
