"What?" Tang Zixi thought he had misheard, and involuntarily leaned forward to get closer to the other party, and confirmed, "You just said "Mountains and Rivers"?

If he talked about something else, Tang Zixi really didn't necessarily know. But this "Mountains and Rivers" left a deep impression on her. Although she had forgotten most of the words of Feng Shu, the leader of the Tiangang Sect at that time, she had memorized the two most critical sentences, one was that "Mountains and Rivers" was a picture scroll containing the truth of heaven and earth"; And when she was in the mausoleum, Su Jing was also full of praise for "Reincarnation", which invisibly elevated her position in her heart.

She never expected that so many things that the masters were competing for would appear in front of her eyes, and she was a little excited for a while, and even her breathing became short.

Xu Qingyuan bowed his head and said: "You are half right, the "Mountains and Rivers Map" was indeed robbed by the Tiangang Sect for a period of time, but it was not theirs. Speaking of this, a glimmer of light appeared in his originally dull eyes, "For hundreds of years, there was a Buddhist monk who couldn't bear the suffering of the world's seven emotions and six desires, so he deliberately left this "Mountains and Rivers Map" before sitting down, and hung it in the main hall of the temple, so that everyone who had the opportunity could observe and experience, so as to comprehend the truth of heaven and earth contained in it. ”

"This monk is truly compassionate. Tang Zixi couldn't help but be in awe when he heard this, and sighed.

Xu Qingyuan nodded slightly, and continued: "It's a pity that someone was greedy later, and stole this painting in the night, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then." It wasn't until decades later that a martial arts wizard suddenly appeared on the rivers and lakes and beat the invincible opponents all over the world with a set of martial arts called "Reincarnation Jue", and everyone knew that the "Mountains and Rivers" had fallen into the hands of this person. This is Gongsun Qingyan, the first leader of the Tiangang Sect. ”

"Gongsun Qingyan!" Tang Zixi muttered the name, and said strangely, "This sect leader is also a woman?"

"It's indeed a woman!" Xu Qingyuan's face showed admiration, and he said, "Although it is inappropriate for this Gongsun Sect Master to steal the supreme treasure of Buddhism, she has also done many things that men have not done. He didn't say what the other party had done, but just sighed slightly, as if he was also lamenting the fate of this woman.

"This Gongsun girl is really a strange woman!" Tang Zixi didn't pay attention to his expression, but in his heart, endless admiration rose for this sect leader. Why is it that as a woman, she can only be slaughtered like a lamb, but the other party can dominate the world and be proud of the rivers and lakes, and create the Tiangang Sect by herself.

This made her a little ashamed in addition to admiration, and for the first time she was shaken by her previous theory of not learning martial arts.

In the past, she believed that martial arts were the root of all evil in the world, and only those who liked to fight and kill would study it diligently, in order to make the opponent die faster and more miserably. But she has been influenced by Buddhist thought since she was a child, and she has compassion for everything in the world, not to mention stepping on ants, even breaking off those blooming flower branches will make her unbearable. According to her previous simple thoughts, if there were no martial arts in the world, then there would be fewer dead people, and everyone's lives would be guaranteed, and they would naturally be able to live and work in peace and contentment. Therefore, no matter what her father Tang Mingru said, she refused to learn martial arts, but just wanted to start from herself to prevent martial arts from spreading in the world.

But since she came out this time, she has slowly realized that martial arts is not only a weapon for killing, but also a good way to save people. As long as the person who has this sharp weapon uses it properly, he can also save and help people. And in the same way, even if you don't know martial arts, if you want to commit murder and evil, there are thousands of ways, martial arts are just dispensable external forces, only the human heart is the real root.

Xu Qingyuan said slowly: "In today's world, only the respected Master Lichen is qualified to keep this treasure, and only he can take care of this treasure! If it falls into the hands of those people with bad intentions, I am afraid that there will be another bloody storm on the rivers and lakes, and then Xu will really be to blame." Therefore, Xu asked the girl to hand it over to the master with her own hands. ”

Tang Zixi's heart twitched, his eyes didn't dare to look at him at all, and he twisted the corners of his clothes with his fingers and said: "This thing is really too tempting, if the seniors really hand over such an important thing to me, the juniors don't have the self-control not to peek, so, so ......" Speaking of this, she laughed dryly, as if she wanted to hide the embarrassment in this way.

Xu Qingyuan also seemed to smile, and his voice also carried a hint of lightness, and said, "I said it just now, everyone who has a chance can watch it." Now that I entrust it to you, you are one of them. ”

Tang Zixi was overjoyed when he heard this, raised his right hand and said: "The junior swears to the sky that he will definitely hand over that thing to the hands of the abbot master, as long as I still have a breath of air, I will never let others see it." If you violate this oath, teach me that heaven and earth will not be able to die a good death!"

Xu Qingyuan nodded and seemed to be very satisfied, but then he thought of something, and sighed: "It's a pity that your current martial arts are too low, if you let you go out like this, don't say it's a black rakshasa, even some ordinary people in the rivers and lakes can't handle it." ”

Tang Zixi was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and coughed lightly and said: "The juniors were really negligent in practicing before, otherwise, the seniors would ...... otherwise."

"But that's the only way to do it now!" Xu Qingyuan didn't listen to her at all, and muttered to himself. Then he stretched out his thin hand and groped under the straw mat for a long time, took out a ring, and said, "You bring this with you, it should help you resolve some crises." When the time comes, it can be handed over to the abbot of dust. ”

Tang Zixi was not hypocritical, but took the ring with both hands, felt the heavy weight, and said with a solemn face: "The younger generation must take good care of it, and it will definitely live up to the trust of the seniors!"

Xu Qingyuan bowed his head and said, "Little girl, come here with your ears!"

Tang Zixi hurriedly walked over and squatted down, leaning his head over.

I saw Xu Qingyuan's mouth squirming non-stop, but no sound came out, Tang Zixi nodded again and again, and his eyes glanced at the opposite cell intentionally or unintentionally, but unfortunately the light was too dim to see whether the person in the cell was alive or dead, but he saw a black shadow lying motionless on the ground.

After talking for a while, Xu Qingyuan stopped, stared at Tang Zixi with blazing eyes and said, "Have you remembered the location clearly?"

"I remember it all!" Tang Zixi nodded heavily.

Xu Qingyuan waved his hand tiredly and said, "Go ahead!"

Tang Zixi glanced back at the figure lying down again, raised his head and took a deep breath, suddenly ran over and grabbed the cell door and slapped it hard, shouting in his mouth: "Come on!

It was a dozen times before there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and a voice like a broken gong shouted: "Howl and mourn!

Soon, at the end of the passage, a man with a short figure appeared, carrying an iron rod full of spikes, staring at the cell, and shouting inarticulately, "Who is it that disturbs grandpa from drinking?"

"I! it's me!" Tang Zixi hurriedly stretched out his hand from between the railings and waved at the man, "This big brother, this big brother! I know where the painting is." ”

The five-short-stature man glared at him when he heard this, and shouted: "What kind of painting? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu will whip you!"

Tang Zixi hurriedly said: "It's the painting that Mr. Shen Yan of your Black Tiger Village has been looking for." ”

"Mr. Shen!"

The man with five short statures finally heard the name in the other party's mouth this time, and suddenly a cool breath rushed from the soles of his feet to his head, and the wine woke up half in an instant.

Although he is the lowest-ranking minion in the village, he can only guard this cell full of yin qi all the year round, but it does not mean that he is not motivated. I have long found out from the mouths of those brothers who have come in and out, and Shen Yan has been looking for a painting recently. Although he did not know what painting was so important, it is not difficult to infer from the recent explosion in the number of people sent to prison that it must be extremely important. If he could find the painting and dedicate it to Shen Yan one step ahead of others, the benefits would naturally be self-evident.

Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but be slightly excited, looked back at his companion who was sleeping on the table, walked quickly to the cell door and said in a low voice: "Where is the painting? Hand it over, or I will kill you!"

Tang Zixi shook his head and said, "I don't know where it is." I listened to him. After speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the figure on the straw mat.

"Who is he?" There have been so many people who have been sent recently, and even the men with five short statures don't remember who these people are.

Tang Zixi pretended to be surprised and said, "You don't know him?"

"Bang-"

The man suddenly knocked on the railing with a stick, if Tang Zixi's hand hadn't shrunk quickly, this blow alone would have been enough for her.

He said impatiently: "Hurry up, Lao Tzu doesn't have much patience to spend with you." If you knew you dared to trick me...... "The iron rod in his hand pointed to the cells around him, and said viciously, "They are what will happen to you." ”

Tang Zixi seemed to be frightened, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, yes." I must know everything, and I have to say everything. I heard him say that his name is Xu Qingyuan......"

She had just said a word, and the man remembered. It's not that he has a good memory, it's that this person impresses him too much. When he first came in, Shen Yan had to come almost every day, and every time he drove them out for interrogation alone. Although they didn't hear what the two of them were saying, the screams made by Xu Qingyuan made him remember it deeply. It didn't look like a human voice at all, and every time I heard it the heart of the guard, who was accustomed to seeing bloody scenes, tremble. It's hard to imagine what kind of torture the other party is going through.

With such a distraction, Tang Zixi had already said: "...... So I had to go out and see what was going on around me to figure out where the painting was buried. ”

The man was suddenly a little upset, and his mind of asking for merit alone also faded, so he turned around and left without saying a word.

"Hey, don't you go, do you want that painting?" Tang Zixi saw him turn his head and leave, and hurriedly shouted. However, the other party had no intention of stopping, and soon disappeared at the end of the passage.

Almost at the moment when his figure disappeared, Xu Qingyuan, who was motionless on the straw mat, suddenly sat up and said, "Help me over." ”
