Chu Yunshan looked at the figures of the three of them leaving, nodded, flew up again, sat down on the chair of the high platform steadily, quietly picked up the teacup on the side, tasted the tea carefully, and brought the teacup that could be held in the palm of his hand to his eyes, and carefully looked at it. "Master, the result of this contest. Chu Yunshan motioned for You Jinwen to attach it to his ear, and after he finished explaining softly, he continued to taste tea. When You Jinwen received an answer, he stepped to the center of the high platform and announced loudly: "This competition, as the family teacher said before, both sides have violations, so it is regarded as a case for both sides. The Ten Ghost Hall defeated the four members of the Qiankun faction with the strength of three people, and successively defeated three of its protectors, but the Chen Protector first defeated Qiu Lie, and the sword splitting weapon forced back the Xiao Hall Master of the Ten Ghost Hall with the right palm, although he was seriously injured and fell to the ground for some reason, but both sides were injured. Such a vicious battle is really rare and unprecedented. In order to estimate that both sides will win or lose, the decision is made carefully. ”

The disciples of all sects held their breath, and there was only the voice of You Jinwen in the audience, and everyone was waiting for a result. A large number of people from the Qiankun faction had already returned to the wings, but they also left three or two disciples to wait for the results.

"This sect has made a decision, and the Ten Ghost Halls and the Qiankun Sect will enter the final competition together to win the championship!" You Jinwen announced.

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar, and some disciples of the sect who had already been defeated were unconvinced when they heard this, so they shouted some words such as "embarrassed and treacherous", "it must be the Ten Ghost Hall or the Qiankun Sect bribing Chu Yunshan in private", "It's so unfair", there are many words, there are all kinds of words, but most of them are dirty words, which are difficult to hear. However, most of the people who shouted were junior and ordinary disciples, and the leaders of the various sects were still calm and did not speak. Chu Yunshan got up at this time, walked to the front of the stage, signaled You Jinwen to retreat, and pressed down with the palms of both hands, those shouting Xiaoxiao urinated quietly, only to feel a strong internal force hanging above his head, many coffee tables under the field began to shake violently, and the teacups on the coffee table were also split in half.

A bold Jianghu scattered person shouted: "Chu Yunshan forcibly suppressed the voice of the people with his own martial arts, what kind of hero is it, and it is so unfair to call everyone on one side in vain! Although it can calm the mouths of everyone, it is difficult to calm the hearts of everyone!"

Chu Yunshan said slowly: "Since this is the case, the old man will give you an explanation, make the fairest decision, and convince you!"

"Well, we're going to see how we can get convinced!" shouted the crowd.

Chu Yunshan continued: "Since the beginning of the conference, I, Chu Yunshan, have asked all the heroes to watch this competition together, just for the sake of fairness. Naturally, I alone cannot determine the outcome. Therefore, the decision of the victory or defeat of this competition should be decided by all the heroes together, otherwise it is impossible to convince the public. Therefore, today, the old man invited the leaders of the various sects and factions present, or the head of the gang to make a vote, if it is agreed that more than half of the Ten Ghost Hall and the Qiankun faction will enter the next round of the competition together, presumably you can also calm down your grievances. In this way, the heads of each sect were invited to come to the center of the martial arts arena and express their positions one by one in front of all the disciples. I will take the lead from Ye Jianmen, and the old man agrees that they will not win or lose. ”

In addition to the Yiye Sword Sect on the field, Jiangnan Zhuge has returned to Jiangnan Jingdong Mansion, the monks of Fulong Temple have also left, and the Ten Ghost Hall and the Qiankun Sect have returned to the wing room to heal their injuries, there are still fifteen major sects, Chu Yunshan instructed You Jinwen to listen quietly on the side, record the state of the various sects on paper, and sing the vote after the event.

All the disciples also agreed with this method, and the leaders of each sect all made a statement, and You Jinwen counted and dealt with them one by one, and came to the high platform to announce: "All the sects present have already expressed their positions, Chaohai Palace abstained, and the four major sword sects in the east, west, south and north, Qilin Villa, Splendid Pavilion and Shadow Gate are opposed, and the other eight major sects agree that the Ten Ghost Hall and the Qiankun Sect are not divided into winners and losers. If this is the case, is there anyone who disagrees?" "Today's contest has been completed, tomorrow is still a day off according to the custom, for you to breathe and heal, the day after tomorrow is the last of this second round of martial arts, by me a leaf sword gate and then to the cold mountain Taoist temple. You can go back to your room and rest, and a meal will be delivered later. After You Jinwen finished announcing everything, he followed Chu Yunshan back to the main hall together. The disciples of each sect also dispersed.

On a corner of the main hall, there was a black shadow, although the black shadow was humanoid but rarely popular, his face was all hidden under a blood-stained beast bone mask, wearing a black gauze brocade shirt, the cuffs of his hands and feet were tied with red ropes, and he carried a dark ink bone umbrella behind him. As the saying goes, "There are as many souls under the umbrella as dogs, when can you give up killing." Under the complete concealment of its aura, no one even noticed it, not even a master like Chu Yunshan. When the black shadow saw that all the disciples had dispersed and returned to their rooms, they dodged and disappeared without a trace.

The people of the Ten Ghost Hall gathered in Xiao Wuxian's room, although Xiao Wuxian was injured by the internal force of Chen Wuqiao, fortunately there was no major problem, and it was no big problem after a while. Everyone didn't have to worry about Xiao Wuxian, they hurriedly put Qiu Lie, who was covered in scars, on the bed and lay down with Luo Baiyi, and a person suddenly lay down next to Luo Baiyi, so he naturally noticed it, and shouted: "Who is it?" Rao Mengli sighed and said softly: "It's Brother Qiu." "What's wrong with Brother Qiu?" Rao Mengli replied again: "I was injured by that Chen Wuqiao in the competition, not only that, but even my father was injured by Chen Wuqiao's internal force." "Chen Wuqiao......" Luo Baiyi was searching for the person's impression in his mind, and Dao Xueke explained: "It is the head of the four protectors of the Qiankun Sect, when we came to Yaoye Mansion, we fought with the farmer on the road, and the head was the person who was quite fat and holding a steel knife. When Luo Baiyi heard this, the hateful appearance of that person appeared in his mind, but he was very puzzled, and asked: "That person has fought with you and me, but he is just a small man who has a false name and a bully, you and I can fight against his four-person formation, Brother Qiu's martial arts are no less than you and me, how can he be against Chen Wuqiao alone? How can he hurt his father." Dao Xueke told Luo Baiyi what happened in today's martial arts arena, and the process of the martial arts competition.

Luo Baiyi was silent for a long time, and then asked Rao Mengli to help him sit up, these days of dressing recuperation, he can already open his eyes slightly, and he can see some color and light and shadow vaguely: "It's really uncomfortable to lie in bed all day." Although he said this, he wanted to make way for Qiu Lie in his heart. Rao Mengli helped him up from the bed and sat down at the table. Everyone was silent, which made Luo Baiyi, who usually talked a lot, not very accustomed to it: "You guys are talking, it's really boring to stay in the room for many days." Dao Xueke sighed and said, "I'm afraid this time, we will return in vain and get nothing." Rao Mengli hurriedly asked: "Brother Xue, why is this? Didn't you say that Chen Wuqiao was seriously injured and fell to the ground, why did we have to leave?" Dao Xueke looked at her white face, and said quietly: "Then Chen Wuqiao injured Brother Qiu, cut off my bamboo knife, and fought with the internal force of the palm to force back Hall Master Xiao, but he was seriously injured and fell to the ground for unknown reasons, not by us, in this way, we lost." ”

"Now Ah Lie's hand tendons are broken, his leg bones are broken, his ribs are broken, and his white clothes are poisoned in the front, although he has gradually recovered, but this trip to Yiye Sword Gate, the price paid is too great. If you lose here, you have to go back to Lu'an, maybe this is your fate. Xiao Wuxian closed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard and said. Dao Xueke was stunned when he heard this, it was he who begged Xiao Wuxian to ask everyone to come to participate in the Jade Buddha Conference, originally just wanted to satisfy his selfish desire to explore the old feud back then, but he didn't expect to be implicated in his brother who was in life and death with him, he was very ashamed, and he wanted to say goodbye, and after struggling for a long time, he said to Xiao Wuxian: "I'm sorry." Everyone didn't know why Dao Xueke blamed himself so much, and Rao Mengli comforted him even more and said: "These are all things we didn't expect on this trip, how can we blame Brother Xue alone?" Xiao Wuxian understood the reason, and also said: "How can you blame you for this." The old man is ashamed that as the master of the hall, he failed to protect you. Luo Baiyi saw that the atmosphere was quite solemn, so he smiled dryly: "It's just that we lost for a while, let's go back." Thinking that the Jade Buddha has nothing to do with us, we have no intention of dominating the rivers and lakes and being the overlord of the martial arts. Wouldn't it be nice to go back to Lu'an Mansion and have a good life. ”

Between the words, the door opened slightly, and the black shadow that had lurked above the main hall of the Yiye Sword Gate entered the Ten Ghost Hall with a bang, and crouched in the ear of Xiao Wuxian and whispered a few words so fast that it was difficult for outsiders to hear its contents. As he had spoken, his figure flashed again, and he went out, leaving no footprints on the ground, and the door was lightly slammed shut, as if the black shadow had never come. Although Luo Baiyi couldn't see clearly, he could hear the movement, but his hearing had improved a lot over the years, so he asked Xiao Wuxian: "Father, is the demon in the umbrella really credible? When we cleared the door back then, we drove out all those traitors who were full of blood and evil and wanted to seek support, but this person was left with this demon in the umbrella. Is this really good?" Dao Xueke thought for a while and explained: "Although the demon in the umbrella used to kill people like hemp and treat human life like a mustard, but back then, he was chased and killed by the imperial court, was seriously injured and fell down in the mountain stream, and was rescued by the master of Xiao Hall. Since the hall master has saved his life, I don't think he will betray us. Besides, his ability to conceal his aura and secretly investigate and track is beyond the reach of you and me, this person has a great effect on staying in the Ten Ghost Hall, so many years have passed, and we have been together for a long time, we should no longer doubt him. Xiao Wuxian also said: "Ah Xue is right, you shouldn't distrust him anymore, Baiyi." Luo Baiyi also knew the truth, and still muttered: "I just can't get used to his virtue of not being a ghost or a ghost." ”

"Did the demon detective in the umbrella hear something?" Dao Xueke hurriedly asked Xiao Wuxian.

"Heaven does not fulfill people's wishes, this time, I'm afraid we can't leave as soon as possible. Xiao Wuxian sighed.

"What do you mean by that?" the crowd asked.

Just as he was talking about this, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside the door, Rao Mengli opened the door, and it was the disciple of the Yiye Sword Gate who was ordered to come to report. Dao Xueke also saluted: "It's polite, since we have lost the battle, we will not bother more, and we will go down the mountain and leave on the same day." May I ask if the master of the Chu Sect has any other orders?" The disciple smiled when he heard this: "The master of the sect ordered to come down to report to everyone, this competition between the Ten Ghost Hall and the Qiankun Sect is unprecedented, and the martial arts of both sides are rare and admirable in the world, and this battle is not won or lost, so please do not rush down the mountain, patiently recuperate and recuperate, and wait for the final day of winning the championship." Everyone looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to Dao Xueke, who nodded and said to the person who came: "Thank you Lord Trumen for your kindness, we will follow it." Annoyed little brother reported. The man said no politely, and turned to leave.

"Why is that?" everyone wondered. Faced with the sudden good news, I don't know if it's really good news.

Feng Zhan shook his fan lightly and said slowly: "Could it be that Chu Yunshan is secretly helping us?" But there is no reason for him to do this, whether it is for himself or for Yiye Jianmen, it is not a good thing to have one more opponent on the day he finally wins the championship. What is he thinking?"

Xiao Wuxian turned around and said to everyone: "The demon in the umbrella came to report, after we left, Chu Yunshan took the lead in proposing that we and the Qiankun faction should not win or lose, and the disciples of the sect were not convinced, so Chu Yunshan invited the leaders of each sect to vote together, and in the end, with only one vote, the proposal to advance together regardless of victory or defeat was implemented. It was really difficult for the old man to guess what Chu Yunshan's intentions were. But whatever his intentions, since he was the first to give us such an opportunity, we should not fail to respond. Tonight, Ah Xue and Xiao Li will go with me to meet and thank the Lord of Chumen again. While everyone was talking, Qiu Lie on the bed vomited blood again, and several people hurriedly came to the bedside, Xiao Wuxian sat beside him, and pointed at the left and right window points on the chest with his right hand to seal his acupoints. Another palm slapped on his forehead, secretly running his true qi, conveying it for Qiu Lie, and then retracting his palm, that is, it was flipped, and another palm slapped on his dantian, sending a lot of internal force. Xiao Wuxian's face was a little red, and beads of sweat on his forehead dripped on the back of his hand, and he could still see his body shaking, so he could stabilize Qiu Lie's injury. Before stacking his hands on the dantian, he calmed down, took a long breath of turbidity, and coughed again. Rao Mengli was very distressed, and it was inconvenient to say it clearly, so she had to take out a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat for Xiao Wuxi, and Dao Xueke said behind his back: "The hall master has just consumed too much to compete with Chen Wuqiao, and it is inconvenient to use internal strength at this moment, it is better to regulate breath more, and it is good to leave Brother Qiu's injury to us." ”

Xiao Wuxian shook his head and said, "Ah Lie's injury, the old man is responsible. Besides, the old man can only stabilize his internal injuries, and he can also reconnect his broken bones and fractures from external injuries, but the old man is helpless only for this broken tendon. "If you can't catch this tendon, then Brother Qiu won't be ...... in the future" Rao Mengli said and lost his voice, and Dao Xueke continued: "The martial arts are lost." Thinking of this, everyone suddenly felt powerless, as if it was themselves who lost their martial arts and not Qiu Lie.

Dao Xueke cast his gaze to the window, and the heavy red sun was connected with a touch of green on the edge of the sky, spreading the purple red among the mountains and fields, and it became the color of heaven and earth. The purple-red three-point orange yellow, through the thin leaves on the edge of the pane, splashed ink on the paper window to write a faint silhouette. It is obviously a good time in the middle of summer, but Dao Xueke is inevitably a little gloomy in his eyes, and Liu Yuanjun is not around, he must have gone down the mountain, and there is no one to complain about what he thinks in his heart. He thought about going to the sword cliff alone to sit down, and he pushed the door alone again. It's just that at that time, everyone's eyes were on Qiu Lie, and they didn't notice his movements. Only that Rao Mengli quietly followed again, but this time she did not deliberately hide her breath, and Dao Xueke's mind was chaotic and naturally had no intention of noticing the person behind her. When the knife snowman arrived at the edge of the cliff, he felt that the sun was a little closer to him, as if it was within reach, so he stretched out his hand to grab it, but he only grabbed three or two wisps of breeze and slipped away from his palm. He seemed to dissolve himself into the purple and red sky, his eyes were slightly closed, and his ears were the sound of the wind from far and near, or the unknown birdsong on the branches, and suddenly, there was a feeling that he could be liberated from this mortal world by throwing his heavy body full of hatred and guilt into the abyss. Seeing that the knife snowman was standing on the edge of the cliff, there was a vague tendency to lean forward, Rao Mengli was afraid that he would do something stupid, so he couldn't care about much, and rushed forward to wrap his arms around the waist of the knife snowman. That Rao Mengli had already put his delicate body on the back of Dao Xueke, and Dao Xueke intuitively felt a rather familiar dark fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose, and when he was about to fall, he turned around and turned his back to the ground, and Rao Mengli turned to the front and the two hugged each other and fell to the ground.

Dao Xueke just felt that the palm was soft, it was in a hurry, and the hand had already hugged Rao Mengli's waist. How can Dao Xueke deal with this scene, he is not a ruthless person, if it is impossible to say that he has no feelings for Rao Mengli in the past ten years, except for Naluo Baiyi, Rao Mengli is the one who is most concerned about him among the people in the Ten Ghost Hall. Although he didn't say it on his lips, he already understood it in his heart. But he only regarded Rao Mengli as his sister, and recognized that feeling as the family affection that brother and sister should have before.

The two of them didn't say a word, or their minds were blank and they didn't know what to say, and they didn't know if they were greedy for a moment of leisure and warmth, so they hugged each other and lay on the ground for a long time. Rao Mengli wanted to rest his head on Dao Xueke's chest, but suddenly a woman's voice sounded in the ears of the two of them.

"If you want to be affectionate, go back to the side room, Hugh has tarnished my beautiful scenery here, I am not ashamed, I am not ashamed, I am not ashamed. ”
