Chapter 22: Beichen

Time flies, and half a moon has passed in a blink of an eye, Anping Village, Anping Inn as usual, guests coming and going, endlessly, in a corner, a man in black in tattered clothes sits alone, he looks decadent, it is the man who drank with Yuan Qi that day.

If someone else was dressed like this, Xiao Er would have taken him away as a beggar, but this person was a big master and had long been accustomed to this dress, so he hurriedly brought a few pots of good wine.

"Guest officer, you use it slowly!" The man glanced at Xiao Er, and poured himself a drink, cup after cup, as if he would never get drunk, until noon, his eyes were full of drunkenness.

"It's strange! There have been so many savage people in the village in the past few days, it's very unusual!" On the table next to them, two people dressed as merchants chatted while eating.

"Anping Village was originally a place where all parties gathered, and a lot of goods were exchanged here, so what was the fuss!" said the merchant who came with him.

"Have you ever seen a merchant go out and carry so many weapons, haven't you seen that there are hundreds of people, and the scimitars and bows and arrows are like going out to fight, and the situation is really terrifying!"

Xiao Er hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Guest officer, are you going to stay in the hotel!"

No one responded, Xiao Er was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense, because the formation in front of him was even more terrifying than what the merchant had described just now.

At this moment, a burly man stood up, this person was so tall, full of half a head taller than ordinary people, a green coat could not cover his strong muscles, on his back, straddled an iron bow, fluffy long hair casually draped over his shoulders, a pair of eyes stared at the drunken man in the room suspiciously, and whispered: "I'm looking for someone!" Without waiting for Xiao Er to answer, he walked straight into the inn.

Compared to him, the man appeared very weak, and his slender figure was wrapped in a thin garment, but when the big man lifted his unkempt hair, the big man's hands began to tremble, and he hurriedly retracted when he was pricked by needles, and fear and fear appeared on his face.

The man lay on the table, his intoxicated eyes finally leaked a little gap, glanced at the big man, and the startled big man hurriedly retreated, put his right hand on his left shoulder, and knelt down on one knee.

A force lifted the big man and stopped him from kneeling, the man's eyes swept outward, and the big man understood, and immediately got up and walked out of the door.

"You all go back first!" dispersed his men, and the street was bustling again.

The big man returned to the table and sat respectfully next to the man.

"Elder Beichen, I really didn't expect to see you here!" Dahan said in a voice of awe, it turned out that the man's original name was Beichen.

"You're Tu Shan!" Beichen's voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, he gently poured a glass of wine and handed it to Dahan, "What are you doing with so many people in the Central Plains!"

Tu Shan's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he hurriedly took the wine glass with both hands, drank it all under Beichen's gaze, and whispered: "Elder Hui, a few days ago, Lord Sacrifice God unexpectedly got a piece of news, so he ordered us to go to the Central Plains to do something!"

"Sacrifice to the gods, he is also worthy of being called the sacrifice gods, it's ridiculous!" A hoarse laugh sounded, Beichen was very disdainful, and said coldly, "It's just a villain who eats the master and takes the throne!"

Tu Shan was very embarrassed, you must know that in the wilderness, no one has ever dared to say this about the Sacrifice God: "Elder Beichen, the Sacrifice God Lord has been guilty of you and Elder Tuke all these years, I hope you can go back as soon as possible, the elder doesn't know, in fact, the current wilderness is not stable!"

"Tell me about it!" Beichen said lightly.

"The Witch God Order is here! The ancient Witch God's seal is unstable and needs to be strengthened urgently, this time we came to the Central Plains just to find Elder Tuke and ask him to go back to the wilderness to help!" Tu Shan leaned forward to Beichen slightly and whispered, "You came to the Central Plains back then, and you were also looking for Great Elder Tuke! ”

Beichen's face moved slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "So you know where Tuke is?"

Tu Shan nodded and whispered a few words in Beichen's ear, Beichen frowned and pondered for a moment.

"In this way, you didn't come to Anping Village to pass by, but came to find me, didn't you?" Beichen's eyes were like lightning, and he thought of some possibilities.

"Don't dare to hide it from the elders, it's true!" Tu Shan lowered his head, not daring to look at Beichen.

"Hmph, that guy actually dares to use the Heavenly Machine Diagram so casually, no wonder Tuke wanted to split the Heavenly Machine Diagram in half back then!" Beichen stood up, swept away the decadence on his body, and said indifferently, "Go back, Tuke's affairs will be handled by me!"

God Tu was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly saluted: "Then thank you Elder!

Qingcheng Mountain, the scenery is still the same, in the Hall of Despair, Wan Ting quietly looked at the sword pavilion under the mountain alone, looking at it from a distance, it looked cold and quiet.

"Ting'er, what's wrong, I've seen you restless these days, but what's on your mind!" Wan Qing walked over, he paid special attention to this disciple, and it was difficult for outsiders to know why.

Wan Ting came back to her senses, saluted to the master, and shouted, "Master!"

Wan Qing smiled slightly, raised his right hand, pointed to the Sword Holding Pavilion, and asked, "Are you worried about him!"

Wan Ting's face was slightly red, and she did not deny it.

"I didn't want to ask anything, it's just that the annual Fairy Sword Conference will be held in a few days, and you are so preoccupied that it will affect the results of the conference!" Wan Qing reminded.

"Master, the disciple has indeed had doubts these days, and I don't know if what I did was right or wrong!" Wan Ting raised her head and looked at Master.

"You say!" Wan Qing began.

"Master thinks that the agreement when he was young is important, or the joy of the moment is important, if there is a conflict between the two, how should he choose?" Wan Ting said the doubts in her heart.

"Why do you have this question?" Wan Qing asked Wan Ting rhetorically, "Of course, people must abide by the agreement, no matter when, the key is to look at the heart, just follow your heart, there are few things in this world that are perfect, the more you try to think about some things, the more you can't think through it, and when things happen, you will suddenly realize that it is so simple, but you didn't think of it, so you can feel worthy of your heart as a teacher!"

Wan Ting shook her head: "If the two are equal and can't be chosen, what should I do?"

Wan Qing patted Wan Ting's shoulder and said, "These are not the only things that are difficult to choose, just let it be!"

"Thank you, Master, I understand!" Wan Ting opened her arms, exhaled deeply into the sky, and said, "Thank you, Master, I feel much better!"

"The reason why you are like this is because your inner experience is too short, those sufferings in the past are a kind of physical training, the most important thing for us cultivators is to cultivate the mind, a few days ago I had an appointment with the Bodhi Temple for the teacher, the top three of the fairy sword conference will go down the mountain to practice, you have to concentrate on practicing the sword, don't be distracted!"

"Yes, Master, the disciple will definitely work hard!" Wan Ting nodded.

Wan Qing stared at Wan Ting for a long time before turning around and leaving, and when he arrived at the door, he glanced back again, his face showing a hesitation.

Wan Ting didn't find the strangeness of the master, she looked at the sky, her eyes were a little scattered, her thoughts went back to a long time ago, it was a big ding, the blood in the ding was steaming, a boy and a girl were forcibly locked in the ding to boil, the hands of the two were tightly clasped together, the girl had tears, very scared, although the boy was also scared, but he was very strong.

"Sister, don't be afraid, it's okay, my brother will definitely protect you!" The boy hugged the girl, lifted the girl above his head, and tried his best not to let the dirty and filthy things seep into his body, although it didn't help, but he still fluttered desperately, day and night passed, they were all exhausted, and at this moment the lid was opened, and a big hand forcibly took the boy away.

"Sister, you wait for me, I'll look for you!" These were the last words the boy said to the girl before leaving, and the girl dragged her weak body, looked at the boy's back, and engraved it deeply in her heart.

Wan Ting burst into tears and whispered to herself: "Brother, where will you be!

This is the deepest secret in her heart, and she has not let anyone know about it so far, from beginning to end, she has been waiting for that boy, maybe this wait is very long, very far away, it is a bitter fruit, but she still has no hesitation, this is her heart.

The Sword Pavilion is still the same, what happened that day, I really want to have no effect on Yuan Qi, the confinement in the body, after repeated attempts, still has not been resolved, whenever Tuke reminds Yuan Qi that the Fairy Sword Conference is about to start, he is always perfunctory, maybe in Yuan Qi's heart, he does not plan to participate in this conference.

On this night, the bright moonlight of the past became unusually dim, the master and apprentice stayed in the courtyard to eat as usual, Yuan Qi sat next to the master, poured wine vigorously, toasted, and was never tired. Tuke, on the other hand, frowned, uncomfortable, and kept looking around.

"Master, what's wrong?" Yuan Qi asked, he had never seen Master like this.

"Nothing!" Tuke responded, "for some reason, I suddenly felt uneasy, as if something was going to happen!"

Tuke looked up and looked at the sky, and a blue light appeared, flashing.

"Is it a meteor?" Yuan Qi was not sure, looked at the master, and found that the master's brows were furrowed even tighter, and his face was unusually solemn.

"Beware!" Tuke stood up suddenly, exuding a powerful aura all over his body, staring coldly at the blue light that was getting closer and closer, the entire Sword Holding Pavilion formation was intertwined, and a huge Taiji diagram slowly rose, blocking the blue light.

"Boom!" the collision of the two forces sent out a large cloud of smoke here.

After a long time, the smoke dissipated, Tuke withdrew the magic circle, and saw that something fell in the air, Yuan Qi picked it up, and found that it was an arrow spear, exquisite workmanship, and occasionally there would be a flash of spiritual light, although it was offset by most of the magic circle, but there was still spiritual power that had not yet dissipated, and there were two small words engraved at the end of the arrow, "Beichen!"

"Beichen?" Yuan Qi asked as he read, "Master, what does this mean!"

Tuke didn't answer, he looked around, and finally locked his gaze on the bamboo forest behind the Sword Pavilion.

"Woo!" In the depths of the bamboo forest, there was a wolf howling sound, as if conveying some kind of signal, and countless ghostly lights flickered.

Tuke was very dull, stared at the bamboo forest, and looked at it for a long time before he said to Yuan Qi: "Xiaoqi, haven't you always wanted to see the real duel, I'll take you there as a teacher!"

didn't wait for Yuan Qi to answer, Tuke grabbed it, like catching a chicken, a few dodges, and came to the bamboo forest!

"Stay where you are!" Tuke commanded in a low voice.

As they entered, silence returned to the forest, and the ghosts and howls of wolves seemed to never exist.

"Rustle!" Suddenly, a few bamboos shook, and a black shadow flashed, and a thick black mist shrouded his body, as if he could blend with the night, and it was a palm on Tuke's back!

Yuan Qi looked hard, and found that the black shadow was very blurry, and he could vaguely see that he was carrying a black longbow behind him, but Tuke seemed to be very familiar with this person, and quickly dodged it, and the sword light in his hand floated, manifesting a long sword, swallowing the sword, slashing straight towards the black shadow, and lifting it up with heavy air waves, so that many bamboo knots in the bamboo forest fell in response.

The black shadow did not back down, and in the black fog, what was vaguely visible was the pair of shining eyes, cold and resolute, which could not be forgotten.

In the blink of an eye, the two have been fighting for fifty rounds, and all kinds of sword moves and demolition moves have really opened Yuan Qi's eyes.

"Hey, hey!" the dark shadow stared at the sword in Tuke's hand for a long moment, letting out a hoarse smile, and his white teeth gave it an eerie feeling.

"You can actually use a sword!" As if exclaiming, as if sarcastic, he was secretive and disappeared in place, and several sword qi floated from all directions with Tuke as the center.

Tuke's face changed slightly, he closed his eyes, sensed the flow of aura around him, and waved the long sword in his hand unhurriedly.

Yuan Qi was surprised, because although the master's swords were slow, the strength was just right, and the most important thing was that he used his wrist strength completely, and his arm did not move at all, Yuan Qi usually loved carving, so he naturally knew how difficult it was to do these things with his wrist strength alone!

Suddenly, a pale blue arrow, sprayed with bits of starlight, pierced Tuk's shoulder.

"Master!" Yuan Qi saw that the master was injured, and he was very worried, so he was about to step forward.

Tuke pointed with his backhand, fixed Yuan Qi in place, and quickly clicked a few times on his body to stop the wound, although he was injured, a strange smile actually appeared on his mouth.

"Huh!" the black shadow shook, and Yuan Qi's order changed, staring at Yuan Qi, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be you!"

Only then did Yuan Qi react, this person was the drunkard in the hotel that day, and said in his heart: "Could it be that he met the master!"

On the other side, Tuke's body was hazy, and the objects that had been shattered in the fight just now suddenly all rose into the air, automatically arranged, seemingly chaotic, Yuan Qi did know from his master's notes that this was a psychedelic array, and people who didn't understand the formation, if they went deep into it, they would be like being in a swamp, and their movements would become sluggish.

Sure enough, the black shadow's movement was hindered, but he was not flustered, the longbow was held in his hand, and he used it as a sword, and he actually shot out a wave of sword qi, and at the same time, a formation appeared in Tuke's hand, dissipating all those sword qi.

Yuan Qi was surprised again: "It turns out that the decomposition array can be used like this!"

The black shadow was annoyed, the arrow light was raised, and the blue arrow, wrapped in black gas, was steaming towards Tuke, just when Yuan Qi was worried, a figure appeared behind the black shadow, and it was a palm at him.

"Phantom Array!" Yuan Qi recognized it, it was not the real body just now, it was just the shadow of the master.

The man in black borrowed his strength to flash aside, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Tuke didn't make a move, but praised: "The Beichen Arrow really lives up to its reputation!"

Beichen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes showed a warm color, and he said in a low voice: "If you have a scimitar in your hand, my arrow may not be able to hit you!"

Tuke smiled, glanced at Yuan Qi, and introduced, "This is my apprentice, called Yuan Qi!"

Beichen appreciated, but also a little regretful: "It's ten years in a flash, I didn't expect you to accept apprentices! Little brother, I still owe you money for wine!"

"What, you know each other?" Tuke was surprised!

"Master, last time I went to Anping Village, I happened to meet this eldest brother, it should be a one-sided relationship!" Yuan Qi explained to Master.

Tuke nodded and said to Beichen, "Please!"
