Ran Zhu came back to his senses and said: "I can't say this clearly, but at that time, the master made a lot of enemies, and after the child was taken away, everyone only found a pool of blood, and there were so many wild beasts in the wilderness that I didn't dare to think about its fate anymore." Sister, why do you ask?"

Gongsun Shu said: "Think about Uncle Ye's appearance, tall and burly, with a lying silkworm, and he is a face, not angry and arrogant." I seem to have seen one of these people recently. If it's just a similar appearance, then it's fine, but if Shen Yun looks like seven or eight points, this has to be doubtful. ”

Ran Zhu exclaimed, "Who?"

Gongsun Shu looked at Ran Zhu and said word by word: "Ye is compassionate." ”

Ran Zhu almost lost control and exclaimed, "Ah, it's him?"

Gongsun Shu said: "I still remember that after my father died, I ran out to find my father alone because I was young and ignorant. As a result, I was intercepted halfway by Uncle Ye, and then he took me to find those martial arts masters who stood by and did not support my father, and wanted to let out a bad breath. Then, Uncle Ye and I met Zen Master Kuteng. Zen Master Withered Teng stopped Uncle Ye, which could be regarded as preventing the biggest infighting between famous and decent families at that time. On that day, I still remember that Zen Master Withered Teng was with a little monk, who was not a few years older than me, and that child was Ye Cibei. ”

Ran Zhu said: "This matter can't have anything to do with Zen Master Withered, if there is, Zen Master will definitely return the child." ”

Gongsun Shu said: "Yes, this is very strange. But that day, Uncle Ye saw the young Ye Cibei, and he liked it very much, and gave him the dragon snake inch. ”

Ran Zhu said: "I don't know about this matter at all, I'm afraid that it is difficult to achieve anything without great wisdom, and I haven't heard of Ye Ci using the dragon and snake inch!"

Gongsun Shu said: "It's not important, the important thing is that Uncle Ye has never been a good teacher, he is suddenly so good to a child, is it possible that father and son are natural?"

Ran Zhu nodded, lost in thought.

Gongsun Shu said: "I only need a word from my sister, if Ye Cibei is that child, will you accept him?"

Ran Zhu slapped the table and said, "What's the matter, to put it mildly, Ye Ci is not merciful." Even if this child becomes a heinous demon, as long as he can be found, I, Ran Zhu, will treat him like a brother. ”

Gongsun Shu smiled and said, "Okay, that's what I want." With my sister's words, I have to make an agreement with my sister to ask him about it when I have time. ”

Ran Zhu said: "Without further ado, let's leave now?"

Gongsun Shu shook his head and said: "Sister, I have heard about the affairs at home, let's solve the child's affairs first! I have been away from home for a long time, I have to go home to see the child first, my child has been away from home for many years, and I don't want to be negligent anymore." ”

Although Ran Zhu didn't know why Gongsun Shu's daughter had been away from home for many years, since she said so, of course she wanted to solve Fu Yanping's matter first.

And at this moment, Fang Xiaodao, who was far away in the desert, had been in the Blue Dragon Hall of the Supreme Palace of the Northern Desert for a month. The Qinglong Hall is not a big hall, but the building is really comparable to a palace. Carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, showing the strong financial resources of the Supreme Palace.

Fang Xiaodao didn't try to escape, but after escaping, he found that there were always a few ghostly guys wherever he went. As a result, Fang Xiaodao's escape turned into a stroll in the desert, and when he came back, he was ridiculed by Shan Yan. Later, Fang Xiaodao got up in the middle of the night every day, ran into the desert, let others follow him, and then went to practice swordsmanship, and then went back when he had practiced enough. This kind of practice is not very good for escaping, but it is very good for the progress of one's martial arts to exhaust those few followers every day.

What Fang Xiaodao didn't know was that Shan Yan was now facing this extremely difficult thing. In the Supreme Palace, she is actually a lonely person. If it is to spoil her and let her be the palace master in the desert, no one in the entire Supreme Palace is unwilling. But if she wants to be the next palace master of the Supreme Palace, leading the crowd, even the old palace master himself is dissatisfied. Only the Qinglong Ling Lord Jiang Chu had the best relationship with her, but she was only wavering, and she did not believe that she could take the helm of the huge Supreme Palace.

The rain in the desert comes and goes quickly, and the weather is unpredictable. It had just finished raining, and there was a smell of sand and rain mixed in the air, which was not fragrant, but Shan Yan was familiar with this smell and liked it very much.

Just after bathing, Shan Yan was draped in very loose clothes, very casual. Before she could change into the charming and gorgeous red dress, Fang Xiaodao walked in.

Shan Yan held a wooden comb in his hand, and lazily looked up at Fang Xiaodao and said, "Do you know that you have committed the capital crime of the Supreme Palace?"

Fang Xiaodao nodded and said, "Yes, but after all, you are already dressed." Moreover, the guys outside didn't stop them, so it seems that they know that you are dressed. You say, how do they know, it's not a prison guard stealing!"

There was a slight noise outside, indicating that there was indeed a person hiding in this seemingly peaceful place.

Shan Yan looked outside and said, "You all go farther, don't come near without my orders." "As if to prove that they were indeed gone, their steps were unusually heavy.

Waiting for them to walk away, Shan Yan said: "Are you comfortable, several elders of the Green Dragon Hall make you miserable every day, it's time to relieve your anger!"

Fang Xiaodao said: "To be honest, it is impossible to relieve qi, but I do feel a little proud in my heart. ”

Shan Yan was irritable, and even if his sweetheart was around, he was not very happy. He frowned and said, "You're so boring." ”

Fang Xiaodao felt that Shan Yan didn't seem to be very interested, in the past, if this topic was involved, she would always say a lot of explicit things to tease him.

Fang Xiaodao picked up a rhino horn cup on the table, tasted the amber wine inside, and finally said the first warm words: "You, do you have something on your mind?"

Shan Yan looked at him in surprise and nodded, "It's true that there are some upsets." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Then let's go out for a walk, look at the sand, maybe it will be better." ”

Shan Yan nodded.

After going out, Fang Xiaodao obviously felt that the people who were staring at him every day were a little farther away from him today, and it seemed that they also knew when not to disturb.

Fang Xiaodao used his long sword to pick up the sand, and then let the sand go away with the wind, and sighed: "If a person starts to like sand, what does it mean?"

Shan Yan shook his head and said, "At least you don't like sand, and you don't like the desert." ”

Fang Xiaodao withdrew his sword and said, "I have been in the desert for so many days, watching the yellow sand in the sky, and watching the golden sand move with the wind. All of a sudden, I felt like I had learned a swordsmanship. ”

Shan Yan was a little disappointed and said, "Could it be that you came out just to let me see your swordsmanship?"

Fang Xiaodao looked at Shan Yan and said, "Do you remember which trick Chu Chaosheng used on his deathbed?"

Shan Yan nodded, a little surprised: "Could it be that you actually learned that quicksand sword technique?"

Fang Xiaodao said: "That's not it, it's just that he uses his sword with his will, and I have learned a few points." ”

Shan Yan said: "I don't quite understand what is going on with the intention of transporting the sword, but after all, the one who makes the sword is a person, if you are biased towards the sword intent, I think it is easy to lose your swordsmanship." Shan Yan believes that Fang Xiaodao is still young after all, and if he always ponders these mysterious things, it may be like seeing flowers in a fog and it will only be illusory in the end.

Fang Xiaodao was very confident in himself, inserted the scabbard into the sand, and then held the long sword with both hands and said, "You see that my enrollment is very good. After speaking, Fang Xiaodao used a very mysterious swordsmanship. But in Shan Yan's view, there is a big flaw, and it is not a superior swordsmanship. But this move was extremely powerful, surpassing all of Fang Xiaodao's previous swordsmanship. Even Shan Yan also felt frightened, maybe she couldn't escape when she encountered such a swordsmanship.

Shan Yan knew that this was a sword technique that Fang Xiaodao had just created, and he couldn't bear to dispel his sharp spirit. Clapped his hands and said: "Good swordsmanship, if you improve it in the moves, it can be called perfect." ”

Fang Xiaodao knew in his heart that even if he could comprehend the sword movement with his will, it was almost impossible to break away from the sword technique that he had been practicing for more than ten years. Therefore, this sword technique is only a temporary patchwork, in order to verify the feasibility of using the sword with intention.

Fang Xiaodao put the long sword into the scabbard, and he felt that for a person whose martial arts were much higher than his own, showing this immature swordsmanship seemed to be self-inflicted.

Shan Yan saw that Fang Xiaodao was a little depressed, and said with a smile: "Don't be discouraged, I see that your method of using your sword to move with your intention has transcended the confinement of the move and maximized the power of the sword." If you can perfect the moves in this move with your own most proficient way-grabbing sword technique, I think it's okay. ”

Sometimes martial arts is just a matter of an expert's touch, and Fang Xiaodao heard Shan Yan's words no less than an epiphany. Since the sword can be successfully carried out with intention, why stick to one move and one style, it is difficult to change the sword technique that he has practiced for more than ten years, why not use the sword intent of the sword technique to move the sword technique. It's difficult, but it's not impossible. Carrying the sword with intention is destined to do whatever you want, and to give full play to the power of swordsmanship, you have to get rid of the confinement of moves.

There is a sword technique in the world, which is the method of using the sword, and the trick of the sword move should be "skillful". No matter how fast a person's sword is used, no matter how strong his strength is, if he doesn't understand this trick, he will only take care of one or the other and exhaust his strength. However, the sword move is not necessarily without constraints. Moves are a kind of dead thing, and blindly pursuing swordsmanship will inevitably be affected by the routines that you are familiar with. Therefore, the best sword move is not only a routine that is both offensive and defensive, but also a method to increase the power of the sword. And to move the sword with intention is to use the sword intent in your heart to help the sword move, not to do whatever you want. The enemy can be as he pleases, but he can't chop indiscriminately, but he must make the best choice on the spot. And the sword intent is the will of the sword, the sword intent is unyielding, the swordsmanship is naturally sharp, and the sword is naturally determined to not relax. Let the wind and clouds change, the sword intent is like an abyss, and it does not move.

There are always people who think that Qin Bugui's most powerful thing is the skill of the Shenwu Sutra rather than the sword technique of seizing the road, but in fact, with the subtlety of the swordsmanship of seizing the road, he has already entered the palace of the Great Dao. He asked Fang Xiaodao to use the fastest sword to pierce the bark, but not to leave the slightest scar, which required his hand to control the sword to an incredible degree. If you can touch it without hurting it, you can reach the extreme, and at that time you can use the sword to do whatever you want. Now that he has reached the point of Fang Xiaodao, he has a deep attainment in sword control. According to the sword technique of seizing the road, it is time for him to achieve something in "leaving the sword". Leaving the sword is by no means letting the sword get out of control, at this time, he can comprehend the sword with intention, which can be said to be another major breakthrough in the sword technique of seizing the road.

There is no shortcut to practicing martial arts, Fang Xiaodao has always been delayed by various things since he stepped into the martial arts, even if he occasionally has some insights, he has no time to consolidate. Now that he has been forced to the desert by Shan Yan, he has a lot of time to practice martial arts instead of escaping.

Although the Shenwu Sutra is not a miracle skill, it is not an easy thing to cultivate, and it takes decades to practice like Qin Bugui. But now his internal strength is no longer a shortcoming of constraints, which is not easy. Because at his age, it is very difficult to achieve some internal strength. If people want to do something, it is important to be smart and enlightened, but there will never be a way to take shortcuts. Just like Shan Yan, the things she believes have never changed, no matter how difficult it is, she has never given up.

It is indeed a very comfortable thing to eat meat and drink a lot of wine, and the desert diet is thick and atmospheric. Although it lacks some delicacy compared to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, after getting used to it, Fang Xiaodao also likes this feeling of taking a bite of meat and wine, rolling up his sleeves and eating it.

Shan Yan, who accompanies Fang Xiaodao to practice martial arts every day, is worried between his eyebrows, and he doesn't seem to have much appetite. Fang Xiaodao sat there, drinking five catties of wine and eating three catties of meat by himself. Then he stood up and sang: "The bright moon sent the city to the city, and the thousands of miles are thousands of miles away." The snow and frost are tending to be unstoppable, and the black armor is not relieved of the war song. Holding a strong bow full of hatred from the family and the country, what does it mean to stay in the name of the Khan Qingjue? The white robe is printed with hatred and blood, and the horse is back to the camp and the cup is fierce. ”

This song is a war song, probably popular with the northern military camp in front of more than 300 people, at that time the Central Plains and the northern tribes were very frequent.

Shan Yan has heard it since he was a child, and he didn't have that kind of tragedy when he sang it after Fang Xiaodao, but he also had a bit of a sense of sonorous knives and guns. So, Shan Yan took the chopsticks on the table and sang to the beat. Fang Xiaodao smiled when he saw Shan Yanmei, and immediately sang it again.

After singing a few times, Fang Xiaodao stopped when he saw that her interest had dropped, walked to Shan Yan's side and said, "What is it that makes you sad all the time, I may not be able to help if you say it, but maybe I can enlighten you and let you see this matter?"

Shan Yan smiled and said, "If you can help me, will you help me?"

Fang Xiaodao said: "This question is very good, if I can help you, will I help you! Let's put it this way, if I have the ability and you want to go to the sky, I will say, you just go to the sky, if there is an enemy ten steps close to you, I will turn him into a corpse trampled under your feet." ”

Shan Yan laughed loudly, the flower branches of the straight smile trembled, judging from the jump range of the jewelry on her head, she was indeed amused by Fang Xiaodao.

After Shan Yan finished laughing, Zhengse said: "If you are really willing to do such a big thing for me, why don't you love me?"

Fang Xiaodao also asked her seriously: "How do you know that I don't love?"

Shan Yan shook his head and said: "It's love, it's not the only one, even if it's unforgettable, it's only a part." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Look at me, who do you love or who have you loved?"

Shan Yan looked into his eyes and said, "Don't tell me that you don't love that Miss Su, if you don't love you, I'll let you go back to the Central Plains immediately." ”

Fang Xiaodao paused and said, "Then you have to imprison me for the rest of your life!"

Shan Yan was not angry, and even if he heard the person concerned say it in person, there was no fuss about what he already knew. She is not a woman who does not know the general situation, and naturally she does not only care about the sweetness or indifference between words.

However, if a woman is offended, the revenge often comes quickly. Just after Shan Yan drank the wine on the table, she lightly opened her lips and said, "Do you remember, that girl from the Qiu family?"

Fang Xiaodao's eyes flashed with a hint of hidden pain and said, "I want to ask you to say it a few more times, because after you say it a few more times, I will definitely be grateful for making some revenge on you." For example....... He only said half of it, and then his expression was very serious, and he slowly pulled up the ribbon around the waist of Shan Rouge and said, "Don't move, if you move first, I can untie your clothes first." ”

Shan Yan smiled charmingly: "Little pervert, are you finally unable to bear it?"

Fang Xiaodao shook his head and said, "Out of respect for a beauty with the appearance of heaven and man, a man should not let go of such an excellent opportunity." However, if you take a good look at this place, it seems that I am not the only man. You, think about it, do you want to rub some more salt on my wound?"

Shan Yan was stunned for a moment, bit his lower lip and looked at Fang Xiaodao, and suddenly said loudly: "Everyone leaves, no one is allowed to stay, Fang Xiaodao is going to be polite to me." ”

Fang Xiaodao was taken aback, and immediately ran out after letting go, and there was a malicious laugh from behind. There are many explanations for this unkindness, but if it is a man's unkindness to a beautiful woman, it seems that everyone will not think of another thing. From that day on, Fang Xiaodao could always see in the eyes of the disciples of the Blue Dragon Hall that the kind of hostility that had tainted the holiness in their hearts.

Putting down Fang Xiaodao and not talking about it, Su Ruoyao of Xiaojian Mountain had an extra belief at this time. She wants to go to the desert, even if there is no fate, she has to go to the desert to find a result. Maybe at a certain moment in Fang Xiaodao's arms, he silently promised a poisonous curse in his heart that depended on life and death, or maybe not. But for lovers in the world, even if there is no poisonous curse, not being able to stay together is a catastrophe. In other words, love is originally a poisonous curse, a poisonous curse that vows to be inseparable.

After returning to Xiaojian Mountain, Su Ruoyao's happiness and peace have disappeared, and she will no longer do some chores every day, nor will she go to pick mushrooms after the rain. The flowers in the garden are not cared for by her, and they seem to have lost a bit of beauty, but her swordsmanship and martial arts are increasing day by day.

This is something that makes Kuang Teng unhappy, he cares a lot about whether his disciples are happy rather than how powerful his martial arts are. Therefore, when he knew that all this was irreparable, he could only look at his disciple silently, and then let out a sigh.

Zhan Tai, the leader of the Heshou Gang, is the only person in the Heshou Gang who never makes a hand salute. Because he couldn't make a gesture of closing his hands, he didn't have a right hand. He was not born without a right hand, but had his right hand cut off. This right hand was lost when the Heshou Gang had not yet appeared, in order to save the sect leader Yang Min. So even if he can't complete a hand-joining ceremony, no one will criticize him, because he has already dedicated the essence of hand-together.

Zhantai did not participate in the Battle of Broken Soul Valley, and only sent one Song Linyue, which was due to Yang Min's persuasion. Yang Min is a very far-sighted person, and he has predicted the outcome of this war since the beginning of the war, so he strongly persuaded Zhantai not to interfere.

Zhantai rarely comes to Xiaojianshan, and usually is at the helm, but today he came early in the morning.

Kuang Teng went to take a sneak look at Su Ruoyao, and when he came out, he met Zhantai.

Kuang Teng said: "Zhan Gang Master, why are you here early in the morning?"

Zhan Tai said: "It's a little anxious, something happened to the gang." ”

Kuang Teng said: "What can make the Zhan Gang Master anxious?"

Zhan Tai said: "Someone in the gang was killed at night, and the head was hung at the gate of the mountain. ”

Kuang Teng was shocked: "Ah, who is so ruthless?" In Kuang Teng's opinion, there are many reasons for killing, and it is not something that can surprise him, but this kind of thing that insults a gang is enough to shock him.
