Chapter 64: A Curtain of Autumn Water
At the critical moment, he took advantage of the situation to launch a palm, and I don't know if this move can work, but I don't know that since he took the "Nine Turns Red Gold Pill" given to him by the "Heavenly Dragon Venerable", in the subtle way, his body has been reborn, and under the daily diligent cultivation, the internal force of Gong Shen Creation has been continuously improved, and under a thought, the internal force swarms out like a wild horse, and Ling Xiu is shocked out under Mu Qiubai's powerful sword qi.
This move not only surprised him, but also surprised Mu Qiubai, because Qiao Chen's "Taiyi Transformation Divine Palm" almost shook the Long Yun Sword in his hand into his hand, only to feel that the tiger's mouth was numb, and he tried his best to hold the hilt of the sword, and his eyes shot at Qiao Zhen fiercely, as if he didn't understand what Qiao Chen's move meant.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Qiao Zhen pretended to pursue, and saw that Ling Xiu had disappeared into the night, so he turned around and walked towards Mu Qiubai.
At this moment, Mu Qiubai, the "Wind and Rain Sword of the River", had already put away his ruthless look, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Qiao's skills are profound, and the younger brother is really ashamed of himself, but it's a pity that although Brother Qiao was kind enough to help, he let the thief escape." ”
Qiao Zhen pretended to be surprised, "I saw that Brother Mu couldn't fight for a long time, and wanted to take the opportunity to capture the thief in one fell swoop, but it was self-defeating, and instead let the thief escape, it really made me feel guilty!"
Mu Qiubai smiled kindly: "Brother Qiao's mind is known, but there is no need to blame himself, he pays attention to improvisation on the spot, Brother Qiao is inexperienced in dealing with the enemy, and if he fights more people in the future, he will definitely make rapid progress." As for letting the thieves in Purple Feather Valley escape, I hope that Brother Qiao doesn't have to worry about it, the thieves and their accomplices sneaked in this time, it has already been expected by the door owner, presumably they have been captured at this moment, it's not too early, Brother Qiao will go back to rest as soon as possible, and tomorrow the younger brother will definitely come to Cuizhuxuan to drink and talk with Brother Qiao. ”
smiled sincerely at Qiao Chen, said goodbye, and flew away like a dragonfly in the distance.
Qiao Zhen watched Mu Qiubai's figure disappear into the night, thought for a long time, and whispered softly: "Could it be that he secretly helped Ling Xiu escape, and really hid Mu Qiubai......?"
Looking at the silence that gradually fell into the surrounding environment against the backdrop of the moonlight, Qiao Zhen slowly walked towards the Cuizhu Xuan, pushed open the bamboo door of the attic, walked to the bed and closed his eyes and meditated for a few cycles, and then fell into a deep sleep.
Early in the morning, in the bamboo forest where the fog gradually dispersed, there was a trace of fish belly white from the eastern sky, Qiao Zhen had woken up from his dream, got up and freshened up, pushed open the window to breathe in the fresh mountain air, and was enjoying himself, when he heard a knock outside the door... Boom... When he opened the door, he saw a purple-clothed boy standing at the door with his hands down, and said softly: "Young Master Qiao, outside the door, the master of Mu Qiubai Shaozhai and a man surnamed Cao ask to see him." ”
Qiao Zhen replied and said, "Brother Mu, please come in!" After a while, there was a hearty laugh outside the door, and I saw Mu Qiubai, the "Wind and Rain Sword of the River", and a young man with a dark face and a burly figure walking in.
Mu Qiubai laughed at Qiao Xu: "Brother Qiao slept well last night?" The younger brother introduced a friend to Brother Qiao, and then pointed to the burly young man on the side and said: "This is the disciple of the Feihe Master of Yunmeng Mountain in Zhongzhou, known as the 'Flying Ape Holy Hand' Cao Fang, Brother Cao only entered the Fenglei Gate last night, and I heard that the younger brother talked about Brother Qiao's heroic young man and outstanding martial arts, so he specially urged the younger brother to come and see Brother Qiao's demeanor." ”
Qiao Zhen hurriedly said: "Thank you Brother Cao for being so important, so that the little brother is ashamed." ”
Speaking, leading the two to sit in the inner room on the side of the attic, the three of them talked while drinking tea, Cao Fang gave people the feeling of being more old-fashioned, his words were steady, and he did not easily show a smile.
After chatting for about a quarter of an hour, the purple-clothed boy hurriedly walked in and said softly, "The door master invited Cao Daxia to come over and discuss important matters." ”
"Flying Ape Holy Hand" Cao Fang got up and smiled: "I'm really embarrassed, you two have to take a step in advance for your brother, and you can continue to talk." With that, the purple-clothed boy walked out.
Qiao Zhen asked casually, "I wonder what the eldest grandson brother will be busy with?"
Mu Qiubai said with a smile: "Brother Song is a busy man, he was assigned by the master of the sect to go to the ancient city of Chencang last night, and he hasn't seen anyone this morning, so he can come back before noon." Suddenly, he rolled his eyes again, and said: "Except for Ling Xiu who was on the run last night, the rest of the five people in the Purple Feather Valley have been captured, and now they are imprisoned in the secret prison of the Dragon Ridge, can Brother Qiao be interested in taking a look? By the way, take Brother Qiao to familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment and layout of the Wind Thunder Gate." ”
Qiao Zhen happily agreed, and the two of them walked out of Cuizhu Xuan together, and walked outside, Qiao Zhen asked softly: "Brother Mu, I don't know why the people from the Purple Feather Valley Gate sneaked into the Wind and Thunder Gate last night?"
Mu Qiubai said casually: "The battle between the sects in the martial arts is nothing more than personnel grievances, the domination of interests, the Wind and Thunder Gate is currently growing stronger and stronger, and the main voice of the Changsun Gate is great, and there is a tendency to command one side, it is inevitable to attract misunderstanding and even jealousy, the rivers and lakes are difficult to say right or wrong, and the younger brother is also an outsider, and it is not very clear why the Purple Feather Valley entered the Wind Thunder Gate at night. ”
Although Mu Qiubai explained so on the surface, he had already had a deep grudge against Qiao Zhen in his heart, and scolded secretly: "I see when you pretend, you will definitely die in Huangquan in a while." ”
Since Qiao Zhen was following behind Mu Qiubai at this moment, he couldn't see his hideous face, let alone think that he was hiding evil intentions, thinking that what he said was true, sincere and reasonable, he thought for a moment and asked, "I don't know what the door master will do with the people under the Purple Feather Valley?"
Hearing this, Mu Qiubai felt more and more that Qiao Xu's intentions were not pure, maybe it was an undercover agent sent by which sect, and he couldn't help laughing loudly: "The eldest grandson master has always been magnanimous and benevolent, and he will definitely send someone to Purple Feather Valley, ask the elders of his sect to come here to explain the reason, resolve the misunderstanding, and then return the captured disciples to his master." ”
Qiao Zhen agreed: "This approach is very thoughtful. ”
The two of them walked through a dense forest in the mountains, in the bluestone paved path, on both sides of the courtyard, the flowers and plants are luxuriant, the fragrance strikes people, and unconsciously came to a towering tree, the old trunk of the big tree branches, straight into the sky, the two bypassed the big tree, came to a mountain basin, the basin is surrounded by ancient trees, cliffs stand in a forest, giving people a strange and beautiful feeling.
Following the sound of the water, there is a waterfall hanging from the cliff on the east side of the basin, and it is very spectacular.
Following a white stone path, walking forward for a short time, the two walked to the center of the basin, and on the west side of the basin, not far from a delicate house came into view, with white walls and green tiles, blue gauze wooden windows, which looked simple and elegant, and the house was surrounded by bamboo fences to form a fence.
