Although Ye Xiu Su Mingzhe's soul was gone, his magic weapon supreme treasure Soul Gathering Bead still existed.

Fu Huanjing had to suspend his march and spend some time to transform the fierce ghosts in the Soul Gathering Orb.

As soon as the master left, only a group of young people remained in the hall.

A group of young people full of vitality and ideals.

Such young people are naturally full of curiosity about new things.

Now, Ye Qiufeng and Piaoxue are being surrounded in the middle.

All around is a mouthful of gossip.

Piaoxue is not a person who likes to be lively, and neither is Ye Qiufeng.

But now they find the noise very warm.

That's the kind of care and affection that only loved ones can show.

And for a wanderer who has not returned home for a long time, what can be more warm than the care of his family?

Communication between young people is always pleasant and productive, especially when they both feel close to each other.

Coupled with Ye Qiufeng's introduction from the side, soon, Piaoxue already knew: Master Master has a total of nine disciples, four men and five women.

The eldest disciple, Ruan Wenwen, male, the earliest entry, very good at management and management, so all the daily affairs of Haishi are handed over to him to give gifts, is a veritable housekeeper, and what is even more rare is that he is kind and kind, although he is a senior brother, but he bows to the front in everything, never cares with others, and will not rely on the power to oppress people, so he has a high prestige among the senior brothers.

The second disciple, Ye Qiufeng, male, almost started at the same time as Ruan Wenwen, the two are the same age, and Ruan Wenwen is slightly older, so the two have a very deep relationship and the deepest friendship.

The third disciple, Ziwei, female, is a female disciple who started only later than the two senior brothers, with a resolute personality, steady behavior, and the highest light merit among the disciples.

The fourth disciple, Xiaoxiao, female, was born delicate and exquisite, but she is good at collecting intelligence and information, and is specifically responsible for monitoring and reporting the dynamics on the rivers and lakes.

The fifth disciple, Wang Yuang, male, Feng Liu suave, Yushu Linfeng, sociable, is now mainly responsible for the shops outside the sea market, and is also the only one who can often go in and out of the sea market.

Six disciples, agarwood, female, well-behaved and lovely, gentle personality, very good at female workers and cooking.

The seventh disciple, Xi Wen, female, is the only one among the female disciples who does not like to dress up in women's clothes, has a bold personality, often dresses as men, and enjoys it.

The eighth disciple, Qingping, female, was born dignified and generous, but slightly willful, and occasionally had some young lady tempers.

Nine disciples, Song He, male, is the latest to get started, but because he is diligent in martial arts, his skills have faintly come from behind.

It is said that three women in one play, because once the girls get together, they will have endless words.

Now, there are six girls in the hall.

And the six girls are by no means as simple as two plays, so a few male disciples can only stare at each other.

First, Agarwood became interested in Piaoxue's hairstyle, and then began to inquire about Piaoxue's usual rouge.

Then, the bold and bold Xiwen volunteered to take the role of introducing the situation of the sea market to Piaoxue.

"Sister Piaoxue, in fact, this sea market was originally an extinct volcanic island, I don't know when it stopped erupting, that year the master stumbled upon this place, and decided to run here, after many years, it has the current scale. ”

Only then did Piaoxue know that the "deep well" he saw was actually the hole left by the volcanic eruption, so it was no wonder that the exit could lead directly to the outside of the mountain.

"From a distance, this sea market looks like a high-rise building on the sea, and the surrounding area is shrouded in fog all year round, so outsiders don't know anything about the specific situation here. ”

"What's even more peculiar is that within a radius of dozens of miles from the sea market, there seems to be a mysterious power that can easily make the Sinan used for sailing ships fail, and even more, it can also drag the entire big ship into the abyss bizarrely, so all the shipwrights in the past have stayed away from here, and it is rumored that this is the devil's zone. ”

Piaoxue suddenly remembered what the crew members of the merchant ship seemed to be arguing and uneasy about, and hurriedly asked, "Then why is the merchant ship we are on this time anchored near the sea market?"

"Well, you have to ask Senior Brother Ye. Xi Wen smiled at the drifting snow.

Ye Qiufeng smiled slightly when he heard this, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I also borrowed Senior Brother Wang's signboard, otherwise how could that merchant ship be obedient and obedient to take us here? Senior Brother Wang, I didn't expect your signboard to really work."

Senior Brother Wang is naturally Wang Yuang, although it is cool autumn at this time, he still gently shakes a paper fan in his hand.

I saw him close the paper fan with a "brush" and said: "Senior brother doesn't have to be polite, it's a trivial matter, and the younger brother still has this ability." ”

After speaking, he unfolded the paper fan with a "brush" sound, and slowly shook it gently, with a graceful and graceful demeanor.

"Sister Piaoxue, don't listen to his nonsense. Seeing Piaoxue's dazed face, Xi Wen hurriedly took over the conversation: "He, he will do some tricks of stealing chickens and dogs, pretending to be ghosts, to put it bluntly, those merchant ships are all afraid of him, so when he sees his sign, he will obey his orders." ”

Piao Xue understood the general idea at this time, and said with a smile: "This is still your Senior Brother Wang's ability, you don't know how difficult it is to make those businessmen who don't want to die for money be obedient." At the same time, he glanced at Ye Qiufeng again, which means that when did you get the ghost, I don't know anything.

Of course, Ye Qiufeng understood the meaning of Piaoxue, but in front of his senior brothers, he could only pretend to be confused and did not say a word.

Wang Yuang here hurriedly coughed dryly and said: "Actually, it's just that sometimes we need to use these merchant ships to transport some necessary goods and information, so I only have a little trick, but I didn't expect that after a long time, I actually have a small name, not enough to worry about, not enough to worry about," he was about to refute the robbery of the attack, but when he heard Piaoxue praise himself, he felt that it was extraordinarily useful, so after saying these words, the paper fan in his hand shook more elegantly, but it was a "very worried" look.

Piaoxue said: "I see, we really owe the blessing of the virtuous brother, but I saw that the sea market was shrouded in fog far away, why can't I see it when I get close?"

"This is called, the grass is far away but there is none. The agarwood on the side said like a silver bell.

Piaoxue nodded yes, and suddenly remembered the man surnamed Shui in her heart, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you see the benevolent brother who sent us through the stone forest?"

Xi Wen said: "You mean Uncle Shui, he is not a disciple of the master, he is a strange person brought back from the Yangtze River by the master, I heard that he used to be the leader of the gang, but then he stayed here for some reason, and was responsible for driving the boat back and forth to the stone forest and picking up guests." ”

Piaoxue said: "He doesn't seem to like to talk. "Actually, she originally wanted to say that your Uncle Shui seems to be a little unsightly and arrogant, but for some reason she didn't say it.

Xi Wen said: "Yes, Uncle Shui is good at everything, but he doesn't like to talk, he doesn't like to join in the fun, now he must be sleeping in the room, others call him 'Water Tower', in my opinion, it is more appropriate to call him 'Sleeping Ghost'." ”

Piao Xue said: "When you go to the stone forest, do you have to take that boat? Although the undercurrent is turbulent there, I think people with a certain amount of light body kung fu can still pass freely." ”

Ye Qiufeng had long known that Piaoxue would definitely not be able to help but ask this question, so he hurriedly replied: "In fact, the most difficult thing to pass through the stone forest is not the undercurrent and the rocky reef, but the invisible miasma in the stone forest. ”

Piao Xue suddenly said, "I understand, because what he practiced was pure foreign kung fu, so he naturally didn't need internal strength, so those miasma naturally didn't have any effect on him." ”

"My sister is so smart, I thought of it at once, but I thought about it for a long time before I figured it out. The agarwood on the side couldn't help but show admiration.

Piao Xue was secretly regretting her recklessness at this time, and smiled when she heard this: "Actually, my sister thinks that Xiangmei is smarter, and I am afraid that I will not be able to learn the cooking skills and skillful hands like Xiangmei in my life!"

Hearing Piaoxue say this, Agarwood immediately blushed and shrank back.

Piao Xue continued: "However, then again, everything here is carried by Brother Shui alone, and it is inevitably too hard. ”

"There's no need to worry about this, because we have another channel, and some large goods are transported through there, and Brother Shui is only responsible for the pick-up and drop-off of some small items and guests. Wang Yuang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, shook the paper fan and said a little proudly, "It's just that this channel can't be used at any time, so for the time being, my sister-in-law can't see it in person."

Everyone talked and laughed, but they didn't realize that the sky was already bright.

Ruan Wenwen stood up and said, "Senior Brother Ye, all the junior brothers and sisters, I have already asked someone to prepare wine and food in the side hall to catch the wind and wash the dust for Senior Brother Ye and his wife, and we can chat while eating." ”

Only then did everyone realize that they were indeed a little hungry.

So, they cheered together.

The side hall is located at the back of the hall.

It's a small place, but it's chic.

A large table in the middle was already filled with exquisite side dishes.

There are also a few jugs of fine wine.

Wine is good wine, and dishes are also seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Drifting Snow couldn't help but be secretly amazed, because she knew how difficult it would be to transport these things here.

Everyone sat down and changed their cups.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Everyone only felt refreshed, and even the coolness of the morning seemed to have subsided a lot.

Song He suddenly said: "Senior Brother Ye, I heard that your reputation in the rivers and lakes is getting more and more famous, and your swordsmanship must have made great progress, I don't know when it will open my eyes." ”

Everyone claimed that it was, after all, they were people who practiced martial arts, and when it came to swords, they naturally doubled their interest.

Ye Qiufeng said: "Senior brother is polite, for my brother has been wandering outside for a few years, and he is lucky to have a small reputation, it is really a friend of the rivers and lakes, swordsmanship, but it is really not progressive, how can you always be around the master, listen to the teachings, and accept the dial." ”

Song He said: "The junior brother has created a new set of swordsmanship, and I want to ask the senior brother to give me some pointers to see if he can compete with the sword masters in the rivers and lakes outside." After speaking, his eyes flashed, staring at Ye Qiufeng tightly.

Ye Qiufeng smiled slightly, and was just about to answer, Ruan Wenwen on the side had already answered: "Senior Brother Song, I know that you are diligent in martial arts and make rapid progress, I heard that you have recently created a new set of swordsmanship, and even the master nodded and praised it when he saw it, it must be wrong, today we are just talking about the brothers and sisters, not martial arts, come, I will give you a drink." After saying that, he raised his glass and drank it all.

Everyone raised their glasses, although Song He was a little reluctant, but the senior brother didn't dare not listen to what he said, so he had to raise his glass and drink together.

Agarwood said: "Senior Brother Ye, I really envy you, you can go outside to explore the rivers and lakes, the outside is definitely much more interesting than here, every time Senior Brother Wang comes back from outside, he will tell us a lot of new things outside." ”

Xi Wen also said: "Yes, I really want to be like Senior Brother Ye one day, fight with a sword, and be a real hero." ”

Xiaoxiao said: "It's just, at that time, don't forget to wear your men's clothes!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Ye Qiufeng said: "Senior sister, I don't think it's such a fun thing to go into the rivers and lakes for my brother, you know, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, there are many things, it's better not to experience them." ”

Ruan Wenwen said, "Exactly, the so-called personal self-own fate, Master Master has already said, Senior Brother Ye was born different from us, and he is destined not to be here with us. ”

Ye Qiufeng couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at his senior brother, and said: "Actually, when I'm outside, there is not a day when I don't miss my master and my brothers, it's just that the master said that I was born not to belong here, otherwise, I really want to get along with you here day and night, wouldn't it be a great joy in life!"

Ruan Wenwen said: "Senior brother, don't worry about it, although you are away all the year round, but the master and his old man always mention you, this time when you come back, you might as well stay longer, and we will gather a lot." ”

Ziwei said: "Senior Brother Ye, I know that the old man has always thought that you are his most proud disciple, I really don't understand, how can he bear to let you wander alone." ”

Ye Qiufeng only felt an indescribable sourness in his heart.

He remembered how he was adopted by his master when he was a child, and how the master taught him martial arts, taught him swordsmanship, and taught him the principles of life.

He remembered that when he was a child, he played with his brothers and sisters, practiced martial arts, and also caused trouble together and was punished.

He remembered that when he was eighteen years old, the master called him alone and let him go to the rivers and lakes alone, and said that it was the number of days.

He remembered the time he cried heartbroken, but there was no way, and he also remembered the deep reluctance and helplessness in the master's eyes.

It's been almost 30 years now, but the scenes of the past seem to be right in front of you.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiufeng raised his glass and drank it all.

The snow on the side, his eyes were full of pity.

Ruan Wenwen raised his hand and patted Ye Qiufeng on the shoulder and said, "Senior brother, although we can't meet often, we can always get news from you in time, and we all feel relieved to know that you are okay, but this time, you have not heard from you for nearly three years, which really worries us." ”

Ye Qiufeng looked at his senior brother and said, "Senior brother, it's me who is wrong, and everyone is worried about me, but I really have a last resort." ”

Ruan Wenwen said: "I understand, the junior brother does not need to say much. ”

"I understand that Senior Brother certainly has his difficulties, but I can't get a clue for three years, Senior Brother is really good!" It was Wang Yuang who spoke, at this time his paper fan had been handed over to his left hand, and he was holding a pair of bamboo chopsticks in his right hand.

Ruan Wenwen said: "Senior Brother Wang, I see that you are a little drunk, go and take a rest." ”

Wang Yuang suddenly laughed, got up and said, "Senior brother, I'm not drunk, I don't understand, why did the master say that only Senior Brother Ye was destined to go outside, don't we senior brothers have the ability?"

Ruan Wenwen's brows furrowed and said, "Senior Brother Wang, I see that you are already so drunk that you have forgotten your master's words, so don't go and rest quickly." ”

Wang Yuang heard the words but didn't answer, he had already swayed to Ye Qiufeng's side, and everyone's eyes were focused on him at once, not knowing what he was going to do next.

I saw Wang Yuang stretching out his chopsticks and sandwiching a piece of suckling pigeon on the plate, and said with a smile: "Of course I haven't forgotten the master's words, come, for the master's words, Senior Brother Ye, I'll give you vegetables." ”

As he spoke, his wrist trembled slightly, and the bamboo chopsticks were already coming towards Ye Qiufeng.

Others didn't feel anything yet, but Ye Qiufeng felt that the bamboo chopsticks had already enveloped a few big points on his chest, and when the bamboo chopsticks got closer, there was a slight sound of breaking the wind.

Think about how much weight the bamboo chopsticks can have, if it is not for the amazing speed, the extremely strong internal force, how can there be a reason to break the wind?

Ruan Wenwen on the side sat closer, as if he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Senior Brother Wang, no." I wanted to stop it, but because of the suddenness of the incident, it was too late, and the bamboo chopsticks were already close to Ye Qiufeng's chest, almost unavoidable.

At this critical moment, Ye Qiufeng's right hand had already moved.

It was the right hand that held the wine glass, and suddenly it was raised.

A simple action, as natural as raising a glass and drinking, without a trace, but just to meet the attacking bamboo chopsticks.

Everyone only heard a peculiar crisp sound, and Wang Yuang's bamboo chopsticks had penetrated the bottom of the cup in Ye Qiufeng's hand.

What kind of speed is this, and what kind of force is it?

Although the bamboo chopsticks run through the bottom of the cup, its momentum is only a moment, and the power is still undiminished.

Ye Qiufeng's wrist flicked again.

Wang Yuang only felt that a strange force came from the bamboo chopsticks, and the bamboo chopsticks in his hand had involuntarily deviated to the side with the wine glass.

Wang Yuang hurriedly sank his shoulders and elbows, and at the same time pressed his palms and fingers, and the wine glass had been broken by the bamboo chopsticks.

Then, without pause, the bamboo chopsticks swung and struck again.

As soon as the cup in Ye Qiufeng's hand was shattered, the bamboo chopsticks arrived again, and this time it was more urgent.

In the crisis, Ye Qiufeng had also shot the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, but this time it was his left hand.

Suddenly, the bamboo chopsticks in the hands of the two had exchanged several moves, but there was no trace of collision.

That's because the two of them saw the move, saw the move change, and once they saw that the other party had insight into their intentions, their moves immediately changed.

But the speed of the two changes was too fast, so a few moves passed by, but the bamboo chopsticks did not really intersect.

Wang Yuang's bamboo chopsticks suddenly shrank and stretched, and his moves changed greatly, and this time he was faintly carrying sword intent.

He had already used his sword technique through the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, and the bamboo chopsticks in his hand were no different from a sharp sword at this time.

Ye Qiufeng didn't answer, taking advantage of Wang Yuang's bamboo chopsticks to stretch and contract, he had already handed the chopsticks to his right hand.

This time, the moves of the two were different again, and they began to open wide, and the wind stirred up by the bamboo chopsticks was finally clearly audible.

Everyone knew that the two were competing in advanced swordsmanship, and they could decide the winner at any time, and they all held their breath.

After all, such opportunities are rare, and everyone also wants to see how refined Ye Qiufeng's swordsmanship has been.

In an instant, the two had exchanged dozens of moves.

I saw that Ye Qiufeng's face became more calm the more he played, and the bamboo chopsticks in his hands became more and more free.

On the other hand, Wang Yuang's face was solemn, and the bamboo chopsticks in his hand were getting faster and faster.

It seems that Wang Yuang's bamboo chopsticks are faster and frequently move.

But everyone here is a master, but they know that Wang Yuang has the upper hand.

You know, it is hard and brittle, but it is extremely difficult to last, and this style of play is really physically demanding.

Sure enough, after a while, fine beads of sweat oozed from Wang Yuang's forehead, but the bamboo chopsticks in his hand did not decrease in speed at all, and even the cups and saucers on the table were vibrating slightly.

Wang Yuang couldn't help but secretly complain, he knew that he was now completely restrained by Ye Qiufeng, and the bamboo chopsticks in his hand were no longer active to attack, but involuntarily danced with Ye Qiufeng's bamboo chopsticks.

He felt that the bamboo chopsticks in Ye Qiufeng's hand seemed to have a sticky force, and it was firmly attracting his bamboo chopsticks little by little.

And in order not to get the bamboo chopsticks out of his hands, he can only gradually strengthen the resistance.

But you must know that Ye Qiufeng's bamboo chopsticks are just moving slightly, and Wang Yuang's bamboo chopsticks are about to draw a big arc, just because Ye Qiufeng has already mastered the initiative, so the bamboo chopsticks seem to move in the center of the arc drawn by the opponent every time.

One is in the center of the circle, the other is at the top of the arc, and the difference in the distance between the two is not a little, let alone between two sword masters.

Wang Yuang already felt that he was gradually losing his strength, and he knew that if he continued to hold on, he would definitely suffer from internal injuries, and he had decided to give up admitting defeat.

But at this time, Ye Qiufeng's bamboo chopsticks suddenly slowed down, like a rapidly spinning wheel suddenly and slowly stopped.

As soon as the bamboo chopsticks in the center of the circle slowed down, the bamboo chopsticks at the top of the arc also slowed down.

Wang Yuang felt that the bamboo chopsticks he was about to take off were finally free from the attraction of the opponent's encroachment, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, only feeling indescribably relaxed and comfortable.

At this time, Ye Qiufeng's movements of bamboo chopsticks suddenly became extremely slow, like a diner hesitating because he didn't know what to eat.

Wang Yuang's bamboo chopsticks also became extremely slow, but he could only test around Ye Qiufeng's bamboo chopsticks, as if there was an invisible wall that was dissolving every attack into invisibility.

If the movements of the two of them just now were electric, then their movements now can be described as sluggish and sluggish.

Every move and every change of the two of them is so slow, everyone can see it clearly, and there seems to be nothing special.

But Wang Yuang knew that Ye Qiufeng's bamboo chopsticks had already occupied an excellent and advantageous position, attacking and retreating, and all his moves and offensive routes were all in the other party's control.

What's even more terrifying is that Wang Yuang suddenly felt that every change in himself seemed to leave a gap and opportunity for the opponent to attack him, and his change not only could not attack the opponent, but there was a danger of being counterattacked at any time.

Wang Yuang had no way to stop, he knew that once he stopped, he would be discouraged, and then the opponent's attack would follow like maggots attached to the bones, and he would definitely not be able to resist it.

Ye Qiufeng's movements became slower and slower, and the bamboo chopsticks only trembled slightly.

But the pressure Wang Yuang felt seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, because at this time, Ye Qiufeng's strength was almost complete, and his attack posture had reached a level close to perfection.

Wang Yuang knew, but there was no way to do it, he was undoubtedly a fish on the chopping board now, he could only wait for others to slaughter, and he couldn't resist at all.

Ye Qiufeng's movements finally slowed down to a gradual stop, perhaps this is the most powerful moment, like a bow full of strings, a dam full of water, once the movement is unstoppable.

Wang Yuang only felt that his cold sweat was soaked.

Luckily, a wine glass came over at the moment.

Just in the middle of two pairs of bamboo chopsticks.

Wang Yuang only listened to Ruan Wenwen and said with a smile: "The two junior brothers have good skills, it is really an eye-opener for the brothers, I salute the two of you." ”

Wang Yuang usually doesn't have a special good impression of his senior brother, and always feels that he is too soft in handling things, and seems to be a little weak.

Especially when he speaks, he always seems to be serious and old-fashioned.

But now, he felt that Senior Brother Ruan's words were really the best voice in the world.

Just because, with the words of the stretched out wine glass, it has naturally dissolved all possible changes and forces between the two pairs of bamboo chopsticks.

Wang Yuang knew that he was finally completely relieved, so he reluctantly returned to his seat, put down the bamboo chopsticks in a daze, but no longer had the strength to stand up.

He seemed to hear Ye Qiufeng getting up and laughing: "Senior brother is too famous, junior brother just made a fool of himself." ”

He only felt that it was dark in front of him, and the paper fan in his left hand finally fell to the ground.

Fu Huan carried his Xuanyuan Divine Sword, carrying the Soul Gathering Orb, and soon arrived at the land of Eight Hundred Miles of Yellow Springs.

Fu Huanjing was very sincere to the oncoming Meng Po Fairy.

"Crossing the ghost, just wait for the wind to rise and the flowers to bloom. Fairy Meng explained.

In this way, Fu Huanjing waited for 18 years with Fairy Meng Po in the 800-mile Huangquan Sand Sea.

The sun rises in the east, the wind rises, the purple begonia flowers bloom, and the thousands of ghosts in the soul gathering orb are finally reincarnated by the ferry.

At this point, the flowers bloom after the wind rises, and eighteen years have passed.
