、、、、、、、

I don't know when the atmosphere started, it seemed a little depressing, Tian Buyi slowly straightened his body, his face was cloudy, and he couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart.

Xiao Yicai was silent for a while, and said, "Uncle Tian, I have hesitated for a long time about this matter, but it is not good to hide it from you when I think about it."

Tian Buyi took a deep breath and nodded, "Senior Nephew Xiao, I understand what you mean, thank you very much. 」

Xiao Yicai nodded, as if he remembered something, and said, "Senior Uncle Tian, I see that although Senior Brother Zhang knows the Ghost King's father and daughter, it seems that he has not yet entered the evil path, but the people in the Demon Sect are insidious and vicious, and Senior Brother Zhang is young, so I am afraid that most of them will be a little dangerous. 」

Tian Buyi snorted, his face was like frost, and he said coldly, "That brute, look at how I teach him a lesson when I go back!"

Xiao Yicai glanced at him and said, "Uncle Tian, I have a saying, I don't know┅┅"

Tian Buyi said, "You say. 」

Siu Yat-cai said, "Yes. Uncle Tian, the reason why I told you about Senior Brother Zhang in private is that I hope that you can handle it well before the matter doesn't get big. Uncle Cangsong has always been in charge of Qingyun's punishment, and his temperament is quite strong, if he knows, he is only afraid that Senior Brother Zhang is your disciple after all, and you must have spent a lot of effort on him over the years, if it is really going to make a big fuss, you and Uncle Cangsong will not look good. So┅┅" He lowered his voice and said, "If Senior Brother Zhang didn't make any big mistakes, you can teach them privately, and that's it." 」

Tian Buyi raised his head, glanced at him deeply, and suddenly said, "Senior nephew Xiao, you really have the style of a general, and it is not in vain that the senior brother in charge of the family values you so much. It seems that you will be the head of the house in the future. 」

Xiao Yicai bowed his head slightly and said, "Uncle Tian, you have won the award. 」

Tian Buyi's face was as usual at this moment, and he smiled faintly: "Okay! You should rest quickly! This time your kindness, I will remember it in the Great Bamboo Peak lineage." 」

He didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and he accentuated his tone on the word "Dazhufeng".

Xiao Yicai didn't seem to understand anything, and smiled, "Uncle Shi is too polite. 」

Tian Buyi nodded, stood up and walked out.

Tian Buyi stood alone in a secluded place in the woods, standing with his hands in his hands.

It was the middle of the night, the sky was full of stars, the moon was hanging high, and the bright moonlight shone down through the lush branches and leaves of the forest, and fell on him. From the darkness, his brow furrowed slightly, and it was clear that he was thinking about something.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.

Tian Buyi turned around, looked back, and was suddenly stunned, and said, "It's milk?"

The person who came was his wife, Su Ru. I saw that in this bleak night, in the silent forest, she walked quietly, and it seemed that in an instant, all eyes were on her.

It seems that all these years have not erased half of her beauty.

Su Ru approached, looked at Tian Buyi, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "You just asked Da Ren to come back and ask Xiao Fan to come here, Xiao Fan happened to be here, I asked him to go to the Vajra Gate Great Venerable to have a look, he should come over soon." 」

Tian Buyi nodded, glanced at Su Ru, and seemed to want to say something, but still didn't speak.

Su Ru said lightly, "You have been to see Xiao Yicai since the evening, and you have been frowning since you came back, is there anything wrong?"

Tian Buyi let out a sigh of relief, his face relaxed, and he smiled: "I also know that I can't hide it. As he spoke, he told him what Xiao Yicai said to him about Zhang Xiaofan.

Su Ru listened silently, and after pondering for a while, she shook her head and said, "Let's not say whether Xiao Fan knows the Demon King of the Demon Sect and his daughter, but even if they do, if you want to say that Xiao Fan has entered the Demon Sect, or even that he is a spy of the Demon Sect who infiltrated the Qingyun Gate, I definitely don't believe it. 」

Tian Buyi snorted and said, "I don't need to say that I know this. Hey, I used to take in six apprentices, from the eldest to the sixth, and none of them were so troublesome and annoying to me!"

Su Ru glanced at him and said with a smile, "But from the eldest to the sixth, there is no one like him who shows your face in the Seven Veins Great Test!"

Tian Buyi suffocated for a moment, but he refused to admit defeat, rolled his eyes, and said, "Cut, is that also called showing your face? 」

Su Ru smiled and said, "Oh, my Senior Brother Tian, I heard that three hundred years ago, when you participated in the Seven Veins Martial Arts Exam, you only entered the top four!"

Tian Buyi was turned out of the old account by his wife, and his face was suddenly a little embarrassed, and he said: "Then I am not ┅┅ I didn't think about it in my heart at that time, and I ran to find milk on the first night of the competition, and slipped out with my milk to watch the stars and moon on the top of Tongtian Peak 'Hongqiao', and I didn't sleep all night. When it's time to compete, I don't have any spirit at all, where is Senior Brother Wan's opponent?"

"Phew!" Su Ru took a sip of him, but his face flushed slightly, looking infinitely gentle, as if he had returned to the night when he was young: "Senior Brother Wan is extremely talented, extremely smart, among the disciples of our generation, except for Senior Brother Dao Xuan, there is no second person who can compare to him in Dao Law cultivation. What are you? When you first entered the top four, you already made your master smile so much that he couldn't close his mouth, do you still want to defeat Senior Brother Wan?"

Tian Buyi smiled, obviously in a better mood, and said, "Senior Brother Wan, he is naturally far better than me, but my grandmother chose me between him and me back then, which shows that I still have something better than him. 」

Su Ru gave him a blank look and said, "I was blinded and blinded at the beginning, so I followed you. 」

Tian Buyi listened, and he didn't get angry, he just looked at his wife, he smiled, his eyes were full of smiles, and suddenly he reached out and grabbed Su Ru's soft and boneless hand.

Su Ru glared at him and whispered, "You're so old, what are you doing with such flesh and numbness?" Besides, Xiao Fan will come over in a while, what does it look like when he sees it!"

Tian Buyi didn't smile and said nothing, Su Ru lowered her head slightly, but she didn't withdraw her hand.

The night is like water, and there is no one in the wilderness. The cool evening breeze blew quietly, stirring the treetop branches in the night.

It's quiet in the woods.

After a while, Su Ru suddenly said, "Actually, I think Xiaofan's current appearance is very similar to you back then. As she spoke, she raised her head and said to Tian Buyi, "Do you feel it yourself?"

Tian Buyi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Isn't it?"

Su Ru smiled and said, "What kind of expression did you have? In fact, you looked stupid back then, and everyone thought that you were inferior to those high-spirited senior brothers and sisters. But in the end, in your Great Bamboo Peak lineage, it was you who had the greatest achievements and the highest Dao Fa, and your master later passed on the position of the first seat to you. 」

Tian Buyi snorted and said, "I'm called introverted, but I'm not stupid. 」

Su Ru laughed out loud, shook her head and smiled: "You are a person, you are old, and your skin is a lot thicker, I really can't do anything about you." After a pause, she continued: "But when it comes to Xiao Fan, I don't believe you haven't seen it, with his performance in the past two years, even if he is not as smart and qualified as Lin Jingyu and Lu Xueqi, he can't be said to be a fool, I think he is at least above the middle." It's just that in the first few years, I was snubbed by you, and I felt a little inferior in my heart, and I just looked a little wooden. 」

Speaking of this, Su Ru seemed to think of something again, and was silent for a moment before saying, "But what I have been unable to figure out is that how could it take him three times more time than ordinary people to cultivate the most superficial Taiji Xuanqing Dao first-level Dao method back then?"

Tian Buyi shook his head, spit out a sullen breath in his chest, and said lightly: "Don't think about it so much now, when the seventh child comes, I naturally have to ask him well, what has he been doing these days, and what else has he done that we don't know?"

Su Ru glanced at him and said, "Then don't wait for a while to look fierce and vicious to him again, he hasn't spoken yet, and he is so scared by you that he can't speak. 」

Tian Buyi snorted and said, "I don't know why, sometimes when I look at him like that, I feel a breath of anger in my heart. 」

Su Ru smiled and said, "Actually, you don't want you, the most promising disciple at the moment, to be better, not only to make further progress in Taoism, but also to deal with people on weekdays, you also want him to be like Qi Hao and Xiao Yicai, left and right, and in the future" Speaking of this, Su Ru sighed slightly and stopped talking.

Tian Buyi was silent for a moment and said, "What's wrong?"

Su Ru looked at him and seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "It's not easy, with your temperament, after so many years, I haven't seen you change like Senior Brother Wan back then, so ┅┅"

Tian Buyi was silent for a while, then nodded slowly and said, "I know what you mean, needless to say. 」

Su Ru looked at him for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "If Xiao Fan knew that his master, who had always looked down on him, actually expected the most from him, I don't know how happy he would be?"

Tian Buyi snorted, looked disdainful, turned his head, and said, "Just his stupid appearance, and let me expect the most from him?

Su Ru looked at him with a smile behind him, feeling that his palm, which was still holding his hand, warm and generous, as if the three hundred years had not changed at all.

Quietly, she squeezed his hand as well.

Zhang Xiaofan and Song Daren left the place where the stone and his master, Venerable Dali, lived, and walked back, as if the sound of the stone urn was still echoing in their ears. Along the way, but seeing that the night was getting darker, except for a few disciples who were keeping vigil, everyone slowly walked back to their residences.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the cave where Da Zhufeng lived, Song Daren felt a little uneasy, turned his head, and said to Zhang Xiaofan, "Xiaofan, have you remembered what I said to you just now?"

Zhang Xiaofan said, "Yes, senior brother. 」

Song Daren nodded and said, "I don't know why Master is looking for you, but I see that since he came back from Senior Brother Xiao Yicai, his brows have been furrowed, and he is afraid that something unpleasant will happen. 」

Zhang Xiaofan was silent, and his heart was even more uneasy, I don't know if Xiao Yicai told the master about the ghost king and Baguio that day, if this is the case, when the master asks, he really doesn't know how to explain.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaofan didn't speak, Song Daren thought that he was a little scared in his heart, so he smiled, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Xiaofan, you don't have to worry too much, although Master is strict on weekdays, he loves us brothers very much in his heart. At this point, he paused, lowered his voice, and said, "However, don't be impulsive again, if you collide with Master, then we won't be able to intercede for you!"

Zhang Xiaofan's heart felt warm, he gritted his teeth, looked at Song Daren, and said in a low voice: "Senior brother, I, I treated you like that a few days ago, I'm really sorry, you, don't blame me!"

Song Daren smiled, stretched out his hand and touched his head, and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? Hurry up and leave, don't let Master wait for a long time." But this day is true, the moon was still hanging high just now, how could it be that at this moment, the dark clouds floated over. Here in the East China Sea, after all, it is different from our Central Plains. 」

Zhang Xiaofan looked up at the sky, and sure enough, he saw that the sky seemed to have darkened all of a sudden, and the moon, which was still extremely bright, was now only shuttling in the gradually accumulating black clouds, and the light was greatly weakened, which made people feel bored to see.

While talking, the two of them had already walked back, Song Daren and Zhang Xiaofan stopped, only to hear the crisp laughter of Tian Ling'er and Du Bishu joking in the cave.

Zhang Xiaofan was silent for a moment, and said to Song Daren, "Senior brother, then I won't go in, and go directly to the woods to find Master." 」

Song Daren glanced at him, nodded, and said, "It's okay, let's go quickly! But it's a little dark now, you have to be careful when walking in the woods, you know?"

Zhang Xiaofan smiled, nodded, and walked towards the forest in front of him.

Song Daren looked at his back, and suddenly felt that this little junior brother looked a little lonely, sighed, shook his head, turned around and walked back to the cave.

As soon as he entered the forest, darkness seemed to roar from the depths of the forest, surging over him, enveloping his figure.

Zhang Xiaofan paused, his heart moved, but after a while, his eyes gradually adapted to the environment in the forest. The remnants of the moonlight above the night sky also spilled through the dense foliage, falling on no one, with a faint light.

Everything in the forest was silent, without the daytime birdsong, without the breath of wild beasts, not even the low chirping of insects, which was usually heard everywhere, on this night, it seemed that it could not be heard. Everywhere there are tall and towering giant trees, standing tall and tall, in the dark, like silent warriors!

Only the wind!

The sea breeze blowing from the depths of the distant sea swept over the forest, stirring the treetops and rustling.

In the dark and deep forest, the boy walked alone.

Zhang Xiaofan's thoughts suddenly drifted away, in this deep forest, silent night, he suddenly recalled a long, long time ago: under the dim light, he was still a child, snuggled in his mother's arms, facing the night outside, his eyes widened, and there was a faint fear

It turned out that inadvertently, that period of time had been so far away.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, shook his head, quickened his pace, and continued walking.

However, he didn't notice that on the way he came, in the depths of the darkness, suddenly and silently lit up two red lights, like a flame of hatred.

Like a person, angry eyes!

Tian Buyi frowned, a little impatient, and said, "What's the matter, you haven't come here for so long?"

Su Ru glanced at him and said, "How can you be so fast?" Da Ren ran over to find him, and if he came back from the Great Venerable, even if he used to run, it would take a while. You can't let him fly over for this, can you?"

Tian Buyi snorted, looked up at the sky, was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's strange, how did the sky here in the East China Sea become so fast?"

Su Ru looked around, and frowned slightly, "Yes! It was still bright just now! But she didn't take this to heart, and after a change of subject, she asked about another matter: "It's not easy, I've been puzzled by something since just now. 」

Tian Buyi looked at her and said, "What?"

Su Ru said: "If Xiao Fan really knows the ghost king's father and daughter as Xiao Yicai said, it is reasonable, he should tell Senior Brother Cangsong, he should know this very well. But he told you in private, he objected to Senior Brother Cangsong's concealment, and he was not very familiar with our Dazhufeng on weekdays, so I always felt that something was not quite right. 」

Tian Buyi was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "This person is not simple. 」

Su Ru frowned slightly, and said, "What?"

Tian Buyi didn't answer her directly, only pondered for a while, and said, "As far as I know, over the years, the senior brother in charge has concentrated on the Tao, and the affairs in the door have gradually stopped paying attention, and most of the trivial matters on weekdays have been handed over to a few elders led by Cang Song. Speaking of this, he paused, sneered, and said, "Now that some people in the door are talking in private, Cangsong is now the head of the Longshou Peak now. 」

Su Ru's body was shocked, with a worried look on her face, she pulled Tian Buyi's sleeve and said in a low voice, "You must not talk nonsense outside. 」

Tian Buyi nodded and said, "I naturally understand, don't worry!"

After speaking, he pondered for a while, and then said, "Milk also knows, in the past two thousand years, our Qingyun Sect, especially since the Qingye Patriarch created the Qingyun Seven Veins, this position of head has always been taken over by the disciples of the Nagato Tongtian Peak. But now┅┅"

Su Ru smiled and continued his words, "But now, Senior Brother Cangsong is highly respected in the sect, and his Dao Law is strong, and his reputation is second only to Senior Brother Daoxuan. Originally, Xiao Yicai took over as the head of the house, which seemed to be a matter of no objection, but now it seems that there are some doubts. 」

Tian Buyi said lightly: "And in the past two hundred years, Cangsong has been in charge of the punishment of Qingyun Sect, and he has always said nothing about it, except for Senior Brother Daoxuan, he has long been in his eyes. It is normal for Xiao Shi's nephew to be a little worried. 」

Su Ru lowered her head, and said after a while: "It's not easy, this battle for the head of the family is quite involved, don't get too deep. 」

Tian Buyi shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I am the head of the first line, how can I dodge. Since Xiao Yicai has shown favor to me today, most of them are for the sake of fighting in the future and leaving a feeling. Anyway, we'll have to take one step and see one step. 」

Su Ru sighed, nodded, and said, "That's it. 」

With a "woo" sound, in the unknown depths of the forest, a sudden gust of wind blew.

Zhang Xiaofan only felt a chill on his neck, and looked up at the shadows of the trees in the sky, dancing like a demon. He frowned slightly, only feeling that tonight in the forest was full of ghosts, and it was very different from the past. But then I thought, after living here for many days, I have never seen any evil things, so could it be that the sky is darker, and there will be it?

Thinking of this, he felt funny in his own heart, and he was about to walk forward quickly.

Suddenly, behind him, the sound of a ghostly howl rang out to his ears. Zhang Xiaofan was shocked, and immediately turned around, and his face immediately turned a little whiter. I saw that on the road behind me, in the darkness, a skull with a dark red light slowly lit up, flying into the air, spinning.

I saw that in the ghost's cry, the red skull gradually stopped, and its face was facing Zhang Xiaofan. Zhang Xiaofan only saw that there seemed to be a few ghosts in the sunken eyes, and he couldn't help but shudder.

A moment later, two more figures slowly rose behind the ghost. Lined with the light of the red skull, Zhang Xiaofan saw that one of them was a tall and thin old man, with a hideous face, a dry appearance, almost skinny bones, it seemed to be not far from the red skull, and a pair of eyes stared at Zhang Xiaofan viciously, looking very resentful.

The other person, who looked quite embarrassed, although he was also quite tall, was carried in his hand by the old man like a chicken, unable to move, and his face was full of helplessness and frustration.

Zhang Xiaofan looked at it fixedly, couldn't help but be taken aback, and said "Huh" in his mouth.

This person looks familiar, but he is an acquaintance, he is the first person he saw under the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Caves in Kongsang Mountain, and he has seen the wild dog Taoist several times in this Liubo Mountain in the past few days. I saw that he was being held by the old man with his right hand by the collar, crying and mourning, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Zhang Xiaofan standing in front of him, looked at him in surprise, and immediately pointed at Zhang Xiaofan as if he saw a savior: "Ah! It's him, it's him!"

Zhang Xiaofan was startled, and saw that the wild dog Taoist was pointing at him and barking, and he didn't know what it meant. But I saw that the old man glared at him fiercely, made a harsh and hoarse voice, and said to the wild dog: "Is this little cub of Qingyunmen?"

The wild dog nodded, and said continuously: "Yes, yes, it's him, the vampire senior, it's this bastard who killed a thousand knives and killed your only heir, the vampire Jiang Laosan. 」
