Everything is still the same as when it first came down the mountain.

The bamboo forest in front of the mountain is verdant, the road is covered with stones, and the stone steps that hover and fly up the mountain gate are still neat and tidy. It was early in the morning, and the three female disciples of the outer hall were sweeping away the fallen leaves with bamboo sticks, and they were all stunned when they saw Qin Su going up the mountain.

"This girl, there is Jade Girl Peak above, not a place for sightseeing, please stay. A female disciple who was a little older threw a broom and hurriedly ran to dissuade her. She saw that Qin Su was wearing a coarse dress, and she only said that she was a villager girl who came to visit the mountains nearby.

"Yukou, don't you recognize me?" Qin Su smiled at her.

"Huh! You...... You...... Are you ......?" Yukou heard Qin Su call out her name, her face showed surprise, she carefully looked at Qin Su's face, according to a rare look of déjà vu. But Qin Su has experienced many ups and downs in the past year, and her face has changed greatly, and she can't recognize it for a while.

After a while, she finally recognized it, her eyes suddenly widened, and she exclaimed, "You are Senior Sister Qin! You ......are Senior Sister Qin! I'm back!" Turning his head and shouting to the steps, "Senior Sister Lin, Senior Sister Fan, Senior Sister Xu, come down quickly! Senior Sister Qin Su is back!" Before long, there was a sound on the steps, and five or six female disciples rushed down from the mountain, and together with the two sweeping disciples, they all threw brooms and ran over.

"Senior sister, where have you been, you haven't come back for so long!" Fan Xuemei, a disciple surnamed Fan, had always been good with Qin Su, so he rushed forward, hugged Qin Su and cried, "The master has gone down the mountain to find you several times, and asked everyone to go down the mountain to look for you, but without your news, we are all worried to death!"

Seeing that everyone was gossiping about themselves, with a look of concern on their faces, Qin Su couldn't help but be moved in his heart. More than ten years of friendship. In the end, it is much deeper and thicker than the human affection outside. These sisters are the ones who are really worried about their suffering. She held back the surging in her heart. With red eyes and a smile, he said, "I went to a few places, and nothing happened." Look, haven't I come back now?"

"It's good to be back! The master wants to know how happy he will be when you come back. Senior sister Lin Wenjing said with a smile, "Her old man just returned to the mountain the day before yesterday, and I heard that she went to Hongzhou to look for you, you don't know, she thinks that you are going crazy, and the whole person has lost weight......" She saw Qin Su biting her lip, looking like she wanted to cry. Hurriedly stopped, and said, "What are we talking about?" Senior sister has just returned to the mountain, you should have a good rest, let's go, let's not stand here." ”

Everyone hugged Qin Su and walked towards the mountain, talking non-stop all the way.

The tall Wenxiufang appeared in his eyes. Further inside, it is the flower sprinkling hall in the front hall of the Jade Maiden Peak. These scenes, which have been familiar with since childhood, are like sharp needles at this moment, piercing into Qin Su's eyes one by one. Let her not dare to open her eyes. After a few years, she is back again, but at this time her mood is very different from the past, and this time she is back. She has something to do.

Lin Wenjing's words also made waves in her heart.

"Master...... Always looking for me. She thought silently. "Is she worried about me, or is she going to find me so that she can ask about Brother Hu's whereabouts?" he thought and shook his head. Senior Sister Lin said that the master thinks about herself, so she must not be lying. Since childhood, the master has loved and cared for himself. She must have been worried that she would be bullied outside.

"Is she still blaming me? Brother Hu's soul, how can I talk to her and get it back?"

The heart is chaotic, for a while it is confused, and it is regretful, and there is expectation in the moving, and there is no fear in the joy, all kinds of moods, and so on.

The main entrance of the Flower Sprinkler Hall has been opened, and a group of six or seven people are walking briskly at this time. Qin Su raised her eyes to discern it, but saw that it was her senior sister Bai Xian, she heard the message and led a group of senior sisters to greet her.

"Senior Sister Qin, you're back!" Bai Xian greeted with a smile from afar.

"You went down the mountain this time, and you disappeared for more than nine months, let's think about it!" she grabbed Qin Su's arm and said, "Good sister, don't do this again in the future." ”

"Let's go, I'll take you back to the house to rest. The master wants to see you in the evening. He led her into the Flower Sprinkler Hall, waved his hand, and let another group of disciples stop in front of the door. Entering the hall, she lowered her voice and whispered in Qin Su's ear, "I've heard everything about you." When the master first came back, he was still very angry, and later, thinking that you can't think about it, he took everyone down the mountain to find you several times, no, he just came back the day before yesterday. She knew that you were back, and she was so happy that she ......" she sighed and said, "Susu, the master treats you so well, don't break her heart anymore." ”

Bai Xian is the oldest of the disciples of Jade Girl Peak, she has always stayed by her master's side, and she has always been gentle and relative to others, not smiling or talking, and is very popular. When Qin Su heard her advice, he was both grateful and ashamed. I didn't expect the master to care about himself like this. I was wary of her before, but I was wrong. I choked in my throat for a while, and I couldn't say anything.

Bai Xian patted the back of her hand and comforted: "The master didn't blame you, don't think too much, take a good rest first." ”

A few people passed the Flower Sprinkler Hall, passed through the Ayafei Building, and walked towards the main hall Yuhua Hall, after the Yuhua Hall, and then passed the Biye Washing Heart Hall, which was where the disciples rested. There are quite a lot of houses in the Jade Girl Peak, mostly scattered on both sides of the hall, and those female deacons and disciples in the outer hall, and the monks and nuns who live in the outer hall, all live on both sides. Qin Su and Bai Xian and other disciples all lived in the apse with their master and uncle.

When I came back to the old hut, I looked at the mirror and combs in the house. Qin Su finally couldn't hold back his tears, the room was swept clean, and there were still his favorite pine nuts on the small wooden table. I think it was all the master's instructions, and the brocade quilt on the bed was the corner of the quilt that the master gave himself a needle on Chinese New Year's Eve before.

The master treats him like his own daughter, but what about himself? Do something to make her sad, this time she returned to the mountain, she still has other plans! For a while, Qin Su only felt ashamed and wanted to die, and deeply hated why he was so selfish. Now she just wants to kneel in front of the master, repent of her mistakes, beg the master to punish herself, and then stay on the mountain for the rest of her life, study the art well, and wait for the master.

But...... What about Brother Hu? What about Tan'er? Qin Su bit his lip fiercely again.

Her whole heart seemed to be twisted into thousands of pieces, it was heart-wrenching helplessness and helplessness! Love and righteousness are difficult to achieve, who can tell her, in the end. What's the right thing to do?

The hour passed in her torment, and it was soon getting late.

Bai Xian went to the front of the room and knocked on the door. Asked, "Senior sister, are you up?" Qin Su got up from the bed. The door was opened. When Bai Xian saw her, she was startled, Qin Su cried for a whole day, and her two eyes were swollen into red peaches.

"Are you alright?" Bai Xian asked her. Qin Su nodded, adjusted his clothes a little, and followed Bai Xian towards the master's room.

The master's room is not far from the Senshindo. Qin Su and Bai Xian walked through the courtyard, bypassed the flower pond, and couldn't help but hesitate again when they saw the row of rooms getting closer and closer. Seven up and eight down in my heart. When I saw the master later, what should I say? Tell her to confess, or cry bitterly, or directly beg to get Brother Hu's soul back? Qin Su slowed down. She really didn't have the courage to go and see the master like this.

That night, the Luomon sect ambushed on the road, and instead of helping the master and them resist the enemy, he secretly let Hu Buwei go. I don't know how the master will blame himself......

Qin Su bit his lip and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Bai Xian walked a few steps forward, and found that Qin Su didn't follow, so she turned around and asked her strangely.

Qin Su shook his head. The thoughts in my heart are repeated. Just when Bai Xian was wondering and walked back, she had already made up her mind. Anyway, the matter has already been done, and it is useless to escape it, so it is better to talk to the master. If the master wants to blame, let her blame, and make her sad. It is the punishment that deserves. It's just that Brother Hu's business. I have to explain to her that Brother Hu is a good person. is his own life-saving benefactor, Qin Su believes in him, he will never be the murderer of several junior sisters of Jade Girl Peak.

She took a deep breath, pulled her hair, showed a resolute look on her face, and followed Bai Xian to the master's door.

"Is it Su'er? Come in. Listening to Bai Xian's knock, a voice inside said. It's the master, and there is tiredness, anticipation, and imperceptible excitement in his voice.

"Smack!", Qin Su felt as if something was broken in his heart. This voice seemed to have some great divine power, and in an instant swept away all her scruples and courage, swept away the strong barrier she had just erected, and made her forget all the prepared words. Her heart was only filled with grievances.

The tears were not controlled, and the 'boom' flowed down, Qin Su rushed forward and pushed the door open.

"Master!" she screamed, and her voice was choked by a whimper, allowing the hot water on her face to overflow. This is her master, the master who has been opposite to her every day since she was a child, the master who raised her and loves her, what resentment and anger can she have in front of the master? All the strength and determination have become vulnerable in front of the master.

"You're back. Sui Zhenfeng looked at the apprentice and smiled, and her eyes also shone slightly.

The master is old. At the age of forty, there should not be so many gray hairs. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened. Qin Su looked at that familiar face, and finally knelt down and cried loudly. She could see that when the master saw herself, there was a clear relief on his face. Qin Su understood that the master had been worrying about himself, and it wasn't until he saw with his own eyes that he was still in good shape, and he really put his mind at ease.

"Silly boy, don't cry. The Qinglian Divine Needle got up from the seat and went down to help the apprentice. "What do you say when you're so old and crying?" she wiped away the tears from her face for Qin Su and smiled: "Don't be afraid, just come back." ”

Qin Su hugged his master's waist and cried heartily, the bitterness and grievances of the past year had to be vented at this moment. After a while, she was comforted, and her tears had already wet Sui Zhenfeng's clothes.

Sui Zhenfeng ordered to go down and arranged dinner in the room, so that Qin Su could accompany her to eat.

The master didn't blame her, and he didn't ask her about the experience of the year. just looked at her quietly and smiled, and put the things that Qin Su liked to eat into her bowl. However, this made Qin Su feel even more ashamed.

After silently eating half dinner, Qin Su decided to tell Master Ming.

"Master, I'm ......" Qin Su put down the bowl and wanted to explain his reason to the master, "I know it's wrong." I'll let Hu Da ...... go Wildly...... Not for ...... No, let the master be sad......"

Qinglian Shenzhen waved his hand and smiled: "Su'er, you have grown up. You also have your own opinions on many things, and the master doesn't want to comment on what you do, so you can just grasp it yourself. ”

Qin Su's heart sank, and she forgot to say what she wanted to excuse Hu Buwei, her eyes were hot, and she almost burst into tears again, and asked the master: "Master, why did you say that? Am I too wrong, ...... Won't you forgive Su'er, don't you want Su'er?"

Qinglian Divine Needle shook his head. There was still a smile on his face, but Qin Su could see it. Her heart was a little heavy.

"The master has always treated you like a child, not knowing that you have grown up. She looked at the dishes in the bowl. Smile and be distracted. After a while, he turned his head and said, "The master doesn't blame you, you can make your own decisions and dare to make decisions, and the master is very happy." ”

"But the master wants you to think more about it before doing things in the future. In the future, the burden on your shoulders will only be heavier, not lighter," she glanced at Qin Su meaningfully. "Your decision may make a difference in the lives of many people. ”

Qin Su didn't understand why the master spoke like this. Anxious, he begged, "Master...... Su'er knew that she was wrong, and Su'er would never dare to do it again. At this moment, seeing the lonely expression on the master's face, Qin Su was indeed remorseful from the bottom of her heart, she forgot about Hu Buwei for a while, and forgot the purpose of her trip. She only hopes that the master can forgive herself. You can subtract one point from your disappointment with yourself.

"Su'er!" Qinglian Divine Needle said softly. In Qin Su's memory, he had never seen the master speak to himself in such a gentle tone.

"It's good to be able to make decisions. The master will give you more opportunities to make decisions. ”

Qin Su didn't notice it, at this time, he lowered his head and sat on Bai Xian's face on the other side of the master, and his sadness had been changed. It became the stiff smile.

In the next few days, the Blue Lotus Divine Needle really no longer asked Qin Su about her experience in the past year, but only urged her spells again. Teach her a new technique. Qin Su was apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know why his master did this for a while.

She began to worry about Hu Buwei father and son again. After the initial fears. She began to have room to think about the whole thing, and she still trusted her feelings. Hu Buwei should not be treated like this. But how to get her soul back? She didn't dare to think about the stealing method she had planned before. She couldn't make her master sad anymore.

The only way is to explain it to the master and let her know that Brother Hu is a good person.

However, it seems that it will take a few days now, and the master is very relieved of himself and is very good to himself, but Qin Su doesn't know what the result will be when he mentions Hu Buwei. For the sake of safety, it is better to wait and wait until you find out what the master thinks before making a decision.

Half a month has passed, and more and more tasks have been handed over to Qin Su by the Qinglian Divine Needle. What happened on the rivers and lakes, also told her and analyzed with her. Qin Su didn't dare to ask the master, but when he saw the more and more respectful looks of his fellow disciples, and the more cordial attitude of the uncles towards him, the more doubts in his heart became.

From the master's mouth, Qin Su knew about many major events that had happened in the rivers and lakes in the past year.

In the autumn of last year, the Song Dynasty sent troops to Liao, and all the three-way armies were defeated and retreated, and they guarded the border passes, turning from attack to defense. In the south, the city of Yuanzhou was once controlled by the Luomon sect, and the Central Plains fought unsuccessfully, and later, the imperial court relieved itself from the national struggle, and sent troops with high magic skills to bomb and suppress, and finally defeated the evil people. The entire Luomon sect retreated to Tibet and Dali, changing from open strife to secret fighting, causing the sect's party members to sneak into the Central Plains and wait for an opportunity to cause chaos.

Only then did Qin Su understand that the dead bodies of the soldiers he saw on the Yue'e Mountain Road that day turned out to be the army sent by the imperial court to Yuanzhou to suppress them, but he didn't know who killed them, and the whole army was wiped out.

It's just that why did the master tell herself this? The spells she taught herself seemed to have strange things.

Qin Su had questions, and another three or four days passed. On this day, he was worried about Hu Buwei Hu Tan, Qin Su was depressed in his heart, and hid in the room without eating. Bai Xian brought her the food, and her expression was very warm. Since this senior sister returned to the mountain by herself, she suddenly became much closer for some reason, and often talked to Qin Su together. Qin Su secretly thought that maybe his senior sister sympathized with him, so he became so good to himself.

In the afternoon, Qin Su was so depressed that he went to the main hall to relax. I happened to see the master teaching the junior sisters to learn spells in the courtyard in front of the hall. Seeing Qin Su coming, Qinglian Divine Needle was very happy, and said to the disciples: "This Qi Condensing Dragon Cutting Technique is not easy to practice, our sect has been established for more than three hundred years, and there are tens of millions of descendants, and less than thirty percent have learned this move. Your Senior Sister Qin happens to be one of them, let her show you and open your eyes. ”

When Qin Su saw the master say this, he had no choice but to step forward to demonstrate.

The power of the Qi Condensation Dragon Slashing Technique is huge, and it uses the fourteen vertical and horizontal wind blades to block and defeat the enemy, but the finger tricks and spells and aura are extremely complicated. Qin Su learned this spell from his master four years ago, and he has never used it.

Silence, mantras, gathering. Qin Su followed the law of the heart. The aura gathers behind the ears, and the ten fingers quickly seal. Seven Star Jue, Tiangang Jue. Swinging the wind and leveling the trick, Fulong trick...... The seven fingers were cast extremely quickly, the level was clear and orderly, and the aura behind the ears rotated and coiled under the control of the fingers, Qin Su dispatched them one by one, and cursed: "The upper inheritance of the law wind net fight the dragon, such as the order!"

The disciples saw the white light shining in front of them, countless points of light jumping in the air, and the white sky seemed to suddenly appear above Qin Su's head. Dazzling, before I heard the sound of 'snorting' a few times, the white dots fell sharply and fell into the bluestone strips in front of the court. At one time, the stone powder was flying, and fourteen planing marks appeared out of thin air, deep into the stone surface two fingers deep.

It was like a huge grid shrouded in stone slabs with a radius of four feet.

"Su'er, I've improved a lot of my skills recently. Qinglian Divine Needle was obviously very satisfied with the apprentice's performance, and said with a smile. The trick of condensing qi and slaying the dragon can be according to the wishes of the giver. Expanding the range of attack to ten zhang, Qin Su compressed the range to four zhang, and landed right in front of the master and all the junior sisters, two feet away from their toes. This is the best way to get to the fire. That's pretty good. Although the current power is not amazing, it is also because Qin Su is still young and lacks aura.

"It looks like you've worked hard this year. I didn't forget all the teachings of my master. ”

Seeing that the master was very interested. Qin Su decided to strike while the iron was hot and bring up the matter of Hu Buwei. "Master. She stopped the Qinglian Divine Needle. Said: "The apprentice has something to do, and he wants to ask the teacher." ”

Sui Zhenfeng saw the expression on her face. I could understand what she was asking. This apprentice has never hidden his feelings since he was a child, and whatever he thinks in his heart is all written on his face. Now that she wants to say goodbye, it must be related to last year's events. said lightly at the moment: "What's the matter, you can say it." ”

The two entered the main hall of Yuhua Hall together, and Qin Su asked in a snort, "Master, do you remember Brother Hu? His soul was taken away by ...... master."

Sui Zhenfeng raised her eyebrows: "You call him Brother Hu, do you still remember him!" She always thought that after Qin Su saved Hu Buwei, she was afraid of punishment and did not dare to go back to the mountain, but she still remembered that thief to this day. She eased her mood and nodded, "I remember him, you say, what do you want to ask me?"

Qin Su lowered his head and did not speak for a moment. After a while, he resolutely raised his head. Said softly: "Master, return the soul to him......"

Sui Zhenfeng's face was full of shock, he took a step back, and glared at Qin Su as if he didn't know her.

"You!" she pointed at Qin Su with her finger, "Can't you see clearly today? That guy surnamed Hu killed your six junior sisters! Why do you still defend him like this?!"

Qin Su argued: "Master, no, he didn't kill his junior sister, he is a good person!"

"Shut up!" Sui Zhenfeng shouted, seeing Qin Su's face again, he softened his tone and said, "I know that he once had a favor for you, but Su'er, you are still young and don't know that people in the world are sinister. He only did this for another purpose, to do more bad things with your hand. ”

"Not really. Master, no. Qin Su shook his head violently, tears falling like rain. "Brother Hu is definitely not a bad person, he saved me, treat me well......" Qin Su paused, these reasons, of course, cannot prove that Hu Buwei is not a bad person, but Qin Su firmly believes for no reason that her Brother Hu is a rare good person, and he will never be the murderer of his junior sister. Why? Qin Su didn't know.

"Bad people will give small favors to others, so that people are willing to do things for him!"

Is this the case with Brother Hu? Qin Su shook his head, Brother Hu really treats himself well, and he doesn't give himself a small favor.

Sui Zhenfeng said freely: "Liu Zhenlu Daxia told the world, saying that this evil thief is scheming and good at conspiring, is there still a fake? So many predecessors and heroes in Yangcheng have been deceived by him, you little girl, where do you know these people's hearts? Don't think so much, he is now sealed by me, and he can no longer make waves, which is the blessing of the common people." The master promised you that he would not kill him all again, and let him fend for himself, and the kindness he gave you would be cleared. ”

"Master!" Qin Su shouted, "Brother Hu is really wronged, he is really a good person!"

Sui Zhenfeng didn't expect this disciple to be so stubborn. The anger that had been suppressed slightly surged up again, and shouted: "Why are you so sure?!He saved you and treated you well, but he just coveted your beauty! This lewd thief does all kinds of evil, look at what he has done to your junior sister?!" As soon as she thought of the six disciples who were raped and killed by the Holy Hand Xiaoqinglong, her eyes were burning with hatred, and she stared at Qin Su's eyes fiercely: "I didn't kill him on the spot, because he once saved you, otherwise, I would definitely file him to ashes and break his body into pieces!"

"Master!" Qin Su cried, her heart was extremely miserable, she didn't expect that the master would hate Brother Hu so much. "Brother Hu would rather lose his life to save me, he is not a bad person!"

"Shut up!" Sui Zhenfeng rushed up angrily, could no longer suppress it, glared at Qin Su angrily and shouted: "You defend him in every possible way, what is it for! Have you already lost your body to him, do you still remember that I am your master!"

Qin Su knelt down with tears in his eyes: "Qin Su will always remember the master's nurturing grace, but ...... But...... Brother Hu was really wronged, begging the master to be merciful!" she kowtowed heavily, and the rough stone bricks were dyed with blood.

"Please be gracious, master!" Qin Su slammed his head on the ground one by one, and blood was already dripping on his forehead.

Seeing that the apprentice was so stubborn, Sui Zhenfeng's anger became even worse, and she shouted fiercely: "The crime surnamed Hu is monstrous, everyone in the world testifies, you still defend him, Su'er, what are you for!"

"You'd rather disobey your master, you'd rather live with your junior sister underground, and you'd rather not be the head of Jade Girl Peak, just ...... For this man!Qin Su!Are you worthy of me!?"

Qin Su didn't dare to reply, but just kowtowed with tears: "Ask the master for mercy." ”

After all, she cherishes her apprentice, seeing Qin Su like this, the furious Sui Zhenfeng still couldn't bear it, she stopped her whirlwind walking body, and shouted outside: "Are you all dead?! Why don't you take her down to apply the medicine quickly!" The disciples didn't dare to make a sound, and they came up and hugged Qin Su and were about to leave. At this moment, a female deacon disciple ran briskly from the Ayafei Building and said, "Master!

Sui Zhenfeng was angry with himself, heard the shouting, and shouted: "What is the matter in a panic?" The disciple opened his mouth, lowered his head, handed over the prayer post in his hand, and said: "Qinglongshi has sent a worship sticker, and he is asking to see him under the mountain gate." ”

"Smack!" The prayer post on Sui Zhenfeng's hand was shattered into pieces by her angry palm, she suddenly raised her head, and shouted in the direction of the mountain gate: "Wow! Another one to intercede for Hu Buwei! Are you all agreeing to squeeze me together today?!"

"What about the Qinglongshi? Is he famous? Do you come to bully people?!"

She said sharply to the deacon disciple: "Jade Girl Peak does not welcome the Qinglong Scholar!" reply to him: No, you beat him out of the door with a messy stick!" The disciple was dumbfounded, what do you know?

Looking at the poor disciple running out of the hall, Sui Zhenfeng felt that something was wrong, and called her back again, suppressed his anger, and said, "You go and tell him!

Seeing that the head of the family was angry, where did the female disciple dare to stay for a long time, she hurriedly took Qin Su back to the room to apply medicine, and stayed away from the place of right and wrong.

Sui Zhenfeng stood in the Yuhua Hall angrily, and after a while, the female disciple who had reported before rushed back again, still reporting: "Back to the master, Qinglongshi refuses to leave, he said that he has admired the beautiful scenery of Jade Girl Peak for a long time, and he also wants to visit the Thunder Hand Purple Lotus Master by the way." ”

"Fart, fart! He's deceiving people too much!" Qinglian Divine Needle jumped like thunder and scolded foul language. The anger in his chest had nowhere to go, and with a slam of his feet, the fierce and cold aura came out of his feet, and the bluestone slab was crushed when he stepped on, and the temperature around the hall plummeted, and fine ice chips were quickly generated.

It's just that the name of the Qinglongshi is too huge, even with Sui Zhenfeng's arrogance and conceit, he doesn't dare to take his wishes seriously. She jumped to her feet and scolded angrily for a moment, gritted her teeth and said to the governor's disciple: "You go to welcome him into the mountain, and invite the master to come and meet him." Remember, don't say I'm in the mountains. ”

Seeing the deacon's disciples running into the Ayafei Tower, she said to the two disciples waiting outside the door: "Jingxu, Xuanzhu, you come with me to the back mountain for a walk!"

She's going to avoid the Blue Dragons.
