、、、、、、、

The light from the forest, through the lush branches and leaves, sprinkled on the bodies of Tian Buyi and Zhang Xiaofan's master and apprentice. Zhang Xiaofan stood in front of Tian Buyi, embarrassed, and only after a while did he shout in a low voice: "Master......"

Tian Buyi looked at him, only to see that the little apprentice's originally pale face suddenly turned a little bloody at this moment, snorted and turned around.

Zhang Xiaofan was at a loss and didn't know what to say, but the secret in his heart was suddenly discovered by the person he had always feared the most, and the panic felt that it had not subsided now.

Tian Buyi stood there, standing with his hands in his hands, and did not speak for a long time. Zhang Xiaofan stood behind him with his head down, not even daring to breathe.

After a long while, Tian Buyi said slowly: "In this way, the person who privately passed on the Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao method to you that day was also Ling'er?"

Zhang Xiaofan's heart jumped again, but it was about Tian Ling'er, and he immediately had a much clearer mind, and said hurriedly: "Master, it's not about senior sister, it's me, it's me who asked senior sister to teach me......"

Tian Buyi turned around and stared at Zhang Xiaofan, Zhang Xiaofan's voice immediately decreased, knowing that no matter what he said, he was afraid that he would not be able to hide it from this master.

In the woods, between master and apprentice, there was a silence.

Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head, his heart was numb. At this moment, he heard Tian Buyi's voice: "Old Seven." ”

Zhang Xiaofan's heart jumped, and he raised his head and responded, "Master." ”

Tian Buyi looked at him and said, "It's been almost five years since you entered my door, right?"

Zhang Xiaofan said in a low voice: "Yes." ”

Tian Buyi said lightly: "When I accepted you as an entry that day, I was actually not optimistic about your qualifications, and it was really unexpected that you could have today's achievements." ”

Zhang Xiaofan's body moved, but deep in his heart, somehow, there was a faint joy.

Tian Buyi continued: "As for the matter of your affair with Ling'er......"

Zhang Xiaofan was anxious and said, "Master, it's all my fault, I shouldn't ...... it."

Tian Buyi glared at him and said, "Did I say you were wrong?"

Zhang Xiaofan opened his mouth wide all of a sudden, and he was really frightened by Tian Buyi this time.

Tian Buyi snorted and said, "You are just a young man, and you are not one of those monks in Tianyin Temple, plus you have grown up with Ling'er since you were a child, and you like her a little, what's so strange? Have you been your master for nothing all these years? I can't even think about this clearly?"

Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head, and suddenly his eyes were hot. All the warm words in this world add up, in his heart, I am afraid that they are not as good as Tian Buyi's cold words.

It's just that Tian Buyi paused for a moment, and said: "But now things are different, and I can also see that Ling'er is only afraid that she really likes that Qi Hao." As for you, I'm afraid she's just treating you as a brother, you know?"

Zhang Xiaofan nodded, but his eyes kept staring at his feet, and he said in a low voice, "Yes, Master." ”

Tian Buyi said slowly: "I used to oppose Ling'er and Qi Hao, not because of Qi Hao himself, but because of ......" When he said this, he suddenly paused, his brows furrowed, and then changed the topic: "To be honest, although your entry into the Dao Law is faster than I expected, compared to Qi Hao, it is still much different. ”

Tian Buyi glanced at Zhang Xiaofan deeply, and said slowly: "Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhang Xiaofan bit his lip tightly and said after a while: "Yes, I understand, Master." ”

Tian Buyi nodded, let out a sigh, walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "What happened before, just let it pass." ”

Zhang Xiaofan felt the master's broad and warm hand on his shoulder, his heart was hot, and he nodded heavily.

Tian Buyi looked at him for a while and said, "Then let's go back!"

With that, he walked back the way he came.

Zhang Xiaofan raised his head, looked towards the top of his head, took a deep breath, and let go of the hands that had been clenched.

It's just that the slightest hint of confusion is always concerned in his heart.

He smiled wryly, cheered up, and followed.

When the two of them walked back to the row of caves on the mountainside, the heads of the various factions were stirring, and most of them had already risen. Tian Ling'er and the others were even standing at the entrance of the cave, with an anxious look on their faces, looking around, obviously very worried.

Zhang Xiaofan saw it from a distance, felt a pain in his heart, and lowered his head.

As soon as she saw Tian Buyi and Zhang Xiaofan coming back, Tian Ling'er ran over, didn't say anything, first looked Zhang Xiaofan up and down, and after making sure that he had not been "abused" by Tian Buyi, he said softly: "Xiaofan, where did you and my father go this early in the morning?"

Zhang Xiaofan saw that her face was full of concern, a pair of bright eyes were only looking at herself, and there was an inexplicable pain in her heart, but she forced a smile on her face and said, "It's okay, Master took me out for a walk, taught me a few words, and now forgive me." ”

Tian Buyi walked in front, as if he heard the words of this little apprentice, snorted, didn't see any expression from him, and slowly walked back. Seeing his wife Su Ru standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at him and smiling softly, he couldn't help but suffocate on his face, glanced at her, didn't speak, and walked in.

At this point, this small turmoil can be regarded as over.

In the following days, Zhang Xiaofan was with his brothers who had been separated for a long time day and night. He has grown up under the watchful eyes of his senior brothers since he was a child, and now that he is back, he is very kind. And Song Daren was open-minded, and he never took Zhang Xiaofan's rudeness that day to heart, and Su Ru had vaguely mentioned a few words to him in private, so he was also aware of it, but he loved this little junior brother even more.

This time, the righteous people who came to Liubo Mountain were naturally led by the three major sects of "Qingyunmen", "Tianyin Temple" and "Incense Valley", but there were also many other smaller righteous path sects.

Among them, there are many things that Zhang Xiaofan has never heard of, presumably for the sake of righteousness and justice, and they must be inseparable from the remnants of the Demon Sect.

As for the three major factions, this time, except for Qingyunmen, Cangsong Dao and Tian Buyi came, the other two factions did not have people from the elder generation, so invisibly, everything was headed by Qingyunmen.

After three days like this, Zhang Xiaofan actually met several acquaintances one after another on this Liubo Mountain.

Among them, Li Xun and Yan Hong of the Incense Valley also came to Liubo Mountain the next day, and later, he saw a stone at the monk of Tianyin Temple, and a thin and withered old man standing beside the stone.

Zhang Xiaofan went up happily and said hello. As soon as Shi Shi saw that it was him, his expression was also very excited, and after saying a few words, he was about to introduce Master "Venerable Force" to him, and as he spoke, he turned to the old man who was talking to the Fa Xiang and said, "Master, this is the Zhang brother of Qingyunmen that I mentioned to you. ”

The old man turned his head, Zhang Xiaofan saw his face, he was stunned for a moment, originally he imagined that the sect where the stone was located was called "King Kong Gate", and his master was also called "Venerable Force", presumably a mighty giant. Unexpectedly, there was this old man who looked quite thin in front of him, and he really couldn't come back to his senses at this time.

Shi obviously didn't think about it so much, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, you haven't seen my master yet." ”

Zhang Xiaofan came to his senses and hurriedly saluted: "Senior, disciple Zhang Xiaofan, has admired his name for a long time. ”

The old man snorted and said lightly, "That's it." As he spoke, he turned back to the Dharma and said, "In this way, Venerable Master Puhong has not yet gone out of meditation and retreated?"

Fa Xiang smiled: "Exactly." Although the teacher is the presiding officer of this temple, I have always assisted Uncle Pukong in managing the secular affairs. This time the Demon Sect revived, and the uncle of Pukong Master also came, but the affairs in the temple were complicated, so he had to come by the little monk and talk about one or two cotton strengths. ”

Venerable Power nodded and said, "With you coming, that's enough." But before I came, I thought that although your master Puhong and Pukong would not come, your fourth uncle Pu Xiang hated the Demon Sect and would definitely come, so why did you ......?"

Looking at the puzzled gaze of the Venerable Force, Fa Xiang sighed slightly, and said, "The predecessors don't know, since the third uncle, the Puzhi Divine Monk, died suddenly five years ago......

Zhang Xiaofan's heart jumped violently.

At this time, Fa Xiang's eyes didn't know whether he glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, and then moved away again, and continued: "Uncle Pu Fang and Uncle Pu Zhi have the deepest friendship, and since then, they have been quietly reading Buddhist scriptures in the temple and no longer going out. ”

Venerable Mighty let out an "ah" and sighed.

Fa Xiang smiled: "But this is not a bad thing. ”

Venerable Mighty smiled and said, "Yes, yes, all the gods and monks naturally still have to take their own merits as the most important, unlike me, an old fellow, who has no relationship with the Buddha, so he runs around all day long." ”

Fa Xiang smiled: "The seniors said that they were funny, you have traced the origin of our Tianyin Temple, and this point was specially explained by the teacher and Uncle Pukong." Come, please sit inside. ”

Venerable Hercules gave in a few words and went in with him.

Zhang Xiaofan watched the two of them walk in, suddenly felt something, turned his head to look to the side, but saw that it was a stone pulling him, and whispered: "Do you see it? It seems that this young Faxiang is the leader of this group of monks in Tianyin Temple!"

Zhang Xiaofan nodded, in the past few days, he has been in contact with these righteous people every day, and he has seen many masters of Tianyin Temple. I also found that although the Fa Xiang was young, among the monks of Tianyin Temple who came to Liubo Mountain this time, the Fa Xiang's bearing was outstanding, and there was a faint style of leadership. Most of the people who came forward to receive and speak, and some of the older monks next to him did not make any sound. It seems that Fa Xiang is an outstanding figure that Tianyin Temple is cultivating.

It's just that at this moment in his heart, he still thinks about the look in the eyes that suddenly came over when Fa Xiang was talking about Puzhi, and he didn't hear the stone muttering anything next to him, only heard him seem to say at the end: "...... I don't think he's anything remarkable, and I'm wrong. ”

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned and asked, "What did you say?"

Shi Shi looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "I remember hearing people say before that if a person in Buddhism has a complete merit and a good death, it should be called "death". He just said that he died, which sounded uncomfortable, as if the Puzhi Monk was ...... Hey, Brother Zhang, why is your face suddenly so ugly?"

Zhang Xiaofan was in a state of confusion, nodded at the stone with a forced smile, and walked back to the place where Qingyunmen was located, making the stone stand in place, and he couldn't figure it out for a long time.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaofan has been in Liubo Mountain for half a month, and during this time, the righteous people and the people in the Demon Sect are still facing each other, and the two sides have met many times during the day, and there are fighting methods from time to time. But what confuses the people in the righteous path is that the people in the Demon Sect seem to be unwilling to fight, and often fight for several rounds before they fled.

In the past, I heard that the Demon Sect was going to meet in this remote place, and I thought that most of them were discussing some poisonous schemes to harm the world, so the righteous people wanted to come to get rid of the demons. Unexpectedly, I looked at it at this time, but it didn't look like it.

If you say that you are the enemy of the righteous path, you should come out for a decisive battle, and if you hear that there are two first people in the righteous path, you are afraid that your strength is not enough, then you should also take the initiative to retreat.

However, in the Demon Sect, people fight and do not fight, and they refuse to retreat. Liubo Mountain is very large, and the target in the air is obvious, but it is really not easy to go deep to find the lair of the people in the Demon Sect. This delay has been delayed for a long time. People in the righteous path have speculated about what the remnants of the Demon Sect want to do on this extremely remote island?

Zhang Xiaofan has been following his master and brother to search for people in the Demon Sect on Liubo Mountain these days.

But in private, he has another worry, that is, he is afraid that if he runs into Baguio, what should he do?

But it's strange to say that Baguio also came to the island of Liubo Mountain, but since that stormy night, it has never appeared again. However, other people in the Demon Sect, including the elders, wild dog Taoists and others who knew Zhang Xiaofan, Lu Xueqi and others, appeared very frequently, and looking at their appearance, it seemed that they were looking for something.

Cangsong Dao people and Tian Buyi have been practicing for hundreds of years, and when they encounter this kind of thing, they also feel a little tricky. At night of that day, the two of them called the people of Tianyin Temple and Incense Valley to gather together to discuss.

On behalf of Tianyin Temple, it is naturally the Faxiang, and the person who came from the Incense Valley is actually an acquaintance, Li Xun. These two people seem to be the leaders of the younger generation, but in front of Cangsong Daoren and Tian Buyi, their expressions are very respectful.

After seeing the ceremony, Cangsong Daoren said lightly: "Two teachers and nephews, this time our righteous path factions came to eliminate demons, and there are many places where the two of them are used, and the poor Dao has thanked you here first." ”

Fa Xiang and Li Xun bowed at the same time and said: "Don't dare, if there is a need, please ask Uncle Cangsong to give orders." ”

Tian Buyi waved his hand, asked the two of them to sit down first, and said, "We don't have to say more nonsense." So far, we have been on this deserted island in the East China Sea for half a month, and although there are indeed remnants of the Demon Sect here, we can't guess what their intentions are when we look at their mysterious whereabouts. I wonder what the two nephews think?"

Fa Xiang and Li Xun glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

Cang Song said to Li Xun: "Senior nephew Li, this time the news was first released by your Incense Burning Valley, dare to ask your sect if you know the purpose of the Demon Sect?"

Li Xun no longer had the proud look on his face in front of the world-famous predecessor of Cangsong Daoren, and said at the moment: "Back to Uncle Cangsong, the news this time is also that the contempt faction inadvertently knows that after the revival of the Demon Sect, a large number of remnants suddenly went to Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea, but I don't know what happened. ”

Cangsong and Tian are not easy to look at each other.

Fa Xiang suddenly said: "Two senior uncles, according to the little monk in the past few days, the people in the Demon Sect have crossed the mountains and mountains, and they often search carefully on every mountain, which is very similar to looking for something important. ”

Cang Song muttered, "Yes, Senior Brother Tian and I also think the same way, but what are they looking for that is so important?"

Tian Buyi frowned, and then said, "Since this is the case, we can't guess it."

However, the people in the Demon Sect have always been vicious, so after you go back, you must also be careful and vigilant. We will intensify our search here during the day, and when we find the lair of the people in the Demon Sect, we will exterminate them in one fell swoop and eliminate the harm to the world. ”

Fa Xiang and Li Xun said in unison: "Yes." ”

After that, they discussed for a while, and the minister and Li Xun retired. Seeing the two of them walk out, Cang Song suddenly said, "Senior Brother Tian, the qualifications of these two young people are really good!"

Tian Buyi nodded slowly.

Cangsong Dao said: "Especially the law of Tianyin Temple, I see that his pupils are black and pure, but there seems to be a faint golden light on the edge, and his eyes are warm and not scattered, I am afraid that he has achieved great success in the Dafa "Great Brahma Prajna" in Tianyin Temple. ”

Tian Buyi sneered and said, "Don't underestimate that Li Xun, although he deliberately kept a low profile in front of us just now, I heard my little apprentice who didn't make it say that he was in Kongsang Mountain and the Fire Dragon Cave, but I am afraid that the Dao may not be worse than the law." ”

Cang Song snorted and said, "For hundreds of years, Tianyin Temple and Incense Valley have secretly wanted to replace me as the leader of the Qingyun Sect. Now that these outstanding disciples have been deliberately cultivated and sent out, most of them have the intention of demonstrating to us. ”

Tian Buyi glanced at him, and suddenly said, "It's okay, as long as there are a few outstanding disciples under your disciple, Senior Brother Cangsong, you will naturally not be afraid of them." ”

Cang Song's face changed, and he said coldly: "Senior Brother Tian, what do you mean by this?"

Tian Buyi stood up and said lightly: "What can I mean? There is a stupid apprentice under my sect, who has won a few battles in the Seven Veins Competition, and can follow your outstanding disciples out to practice." Unexpectedly, in the land of the Demon Sect, after fighting with the people in the Demon Sect, he was abandoned under the ancient cave. If it weren't for the fact that others were cheap, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen him anymore. ”

Cang Song's face flashed with anger, and he said, "Senior Brother Tian, you have to make your words clear." After Qi Hao and the others came back, I also asked him carefully, at that time, it was indeed because Lu Xueqi of Xiaozhu Peak was too seriously injured, and even after looking for a few days, your apprentice couldn't find any news at all, and under that necromantic abyss, there were many Yin Spirit Demon Beasts, so he was forced to give up. Where is it that was deliberately abandoned?" he said, and his voice became louder.

Tian Buyi didn't flinch in the slightest, glanced at him, and said loudly: "Hmph, if your apprentice is left below, I don't know whether he is alive or dead, you won't make a fuss sooner!"

The two of them raised their voices and spread to the outside of the cave, and the disciples of Qingyunmen were moved, and they all looked inside. After all, Tian Buyi and Cangsong are people of the Tao, and they will never do anything wrong in front of these juniors. Tian Buyi snorted lightly and walked out without looking back.

After a while, Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu walked in, the two of them were the most valued disciples of the Cangsong Daoist, and only they dared to approach him when the Cangsong Daoist was not in a very good mood.

Qi Hao said cautiously: "Master, why did you quarrel with Uncle Tian?"

Lin Jingyu said indignantly beside him: "This person is the most stingy, he really doesn't have the demeanor of a senior at all......"

Cang Song suddenly shouted: "Shut up!"

Lin Jingyu was startled, lowered his head, and said, "Yes, Master." ”

Cang Song glanced at him, turned his head to Qi Hao and said, "He still remembers the day when you gave up looking for Zhang Xiaofan." ”

Qi Hao was stunned.

Cang Song snorted and said, "You don't see that he doesn't seem to pay much attention to that apprentice on weekdays, but that is in his own door, and when he goes outside, he is the most protective." What's more, this time that Zhang Xiaofan showed his face for him at the Seven Veins Martial Arts, and I privately heard that he was actually very happy in his heart. Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said to Qi Hao: "Do you know that this time Zhang Xiaofan will not die and return safely, but it will be very beneficial to you?"

Qi Hao didn't think about it for a while, and said, "What?"

Cang Song sneered and said, "Aren't you on good terms with his daughter Tian Ling'er?"

Qi Hao's face turned red.

Cang Song said: "Although I asked the senior brother in charge to talk about it for you, he reluctantly agreed to your exchange. But when I look at his demeanor today, it's clear that he's worried about it. If Zhang Xiaofan hadn't come back alive this time, I'm afraid that you would have to suffer in the future. ”

Qi Hao came to his senses, nodded again and again, and said, "Thank you, Master, for fulfilling the apprentice." ”

Cang Song waved his hand, walked slowly to the entrance of the cave, and looked at the cave where Tian Buyi lived, with no expression on his face and was silent. But Lin Jingyu and Qi Hao looked at him, and saw that his eyes were blazing, obviously thinking about something.
