Xu Chen asked, "If the head of the Hanging Temple and the Lord of the Taixu Guan are goshawks in the sky, then what about you, senior brother?"

Senior Brother smiled and said, "I'm just a Taoist priest who has long since disappeared. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Xu Chen sighed and said, "Senior brother, your answer is too hypocritical. ”

Senior Brother shook his head and sighed and said: "Don't say that the Lord of the Temple and the First Seat, those people in the Taixu Temple who are in the world-shattering realm are also extraordinary in the folk market, those who look ordinary and ordinary drunkards and butchers, where can you tell that they are the worldly masters who have already broken through the five realms?"

Brother Big Brother is certainly not a hypocrite. The reason why he kept repeating and repeating and telling Xu Chen that he was not the most powerful person in the world was because he firmly believed that he was indeed not the most powerful person in the world, and he was very unwilling for Xu Chen to fall into some kind of delusional spiritual illusion of arrogance because of the strength of his master's back and Jing, so that he would go astray in cultivation and gradually move away from the only correct path of self-search.

It is a pity that Xu Chen did not realize the good intentions of the senior brother, because his logic is very simple, in the known cultivation world, the Zhishou Guan Guan Master must be at the most powerful level, and the apprentice Ye Su he taught can't even let out a fart in front of the senior brother, so no matter how strong he is, he can't be much stronger, so he naturally feels proud and excited.

Because of this emotion, he was not very able to accept the results of today's conversation in the Winter Garden.

The senior brother understood what he was thinking, and said: "Ximen Wang is very powerful, even Jun Mo does not dare to say anything about it, let alone kill him? Moreover, he is the queen's brother, who dares to kill him without guilt? This secret is only known to a very few people except for the master and His Majesty, and I also ask the junior brother to keep it well." ”

"Senior brother, I don't understand why you let me hear this secret before. ”

The senior brother looked at him quietly, his clear and clean gaze seemed to be able to see through Xu Chen's best disguise.

Xu Chen looked back at the senior brother, and did not hide it because of trust.

After a long silence, the senior brother looked at him with pity and said, "Because I think you need to know." ”

Xu Chen was silent for a moment and then lowered his head and said, "Yes, I need to know this. ”

The senior brother suddenly smiled and said, "Go back and study hard, you will definitely be able to kill him within five years." ”

Xu Chen raised his head, looked at the senior brother's clean eyes, and chuckled lightly in his heart, feeling as if the senior brother knew everything, including his biggest secret.

But even if you know, what if you know? In the past few years, he was displaced in the world and struggled between life and death, so he was casual and naughty on the outside, but in fact, he was indifferent and jealous of all the people, but now that he is a disciple of Lu Yin, with so many senior brothers and sisters, what are he afraid of?

Xu Chen looked at the senior brother and said seriously: "The junior brother of this realm yearns for it, and he always feels that five years is too long, and he wants to fight for the day. ”

The senior brother looked into his eyes and said seriously: "I have long faded out, the master does not let me interfere in the government affairs, today I rashly said that it is presumptuous to let Ximen Wang remove his armor and return to old age, and if Ximen Wang really quits the government, it is not good to take him again, if the junior brother wants to kill him, there is only one way left to challenge this road head-on, do you have this confidence?"

Thinking about the conversation with the senior brother in the room, Xu Chen walked outside the general's mansion, and met Duanmu Rong at the corner gate, where he had finished feeding the big black horse, and invited her to go out of the mansion to go shopping in Wuxian Town.

The cold wind in Wuxian Town in the deep winter is like a knife, and the people who watched the excitement before have already returned home, except for the patrolling cavalry on the street, it is difficult to see the figures, there is really nothing to shop, but young men and women shopping is not more about shopping, but about who to go with, so Xu Chen and Duanmu Rong are in a good mood.

Walking through the half-hidden door of the grain and grass store, Xu Chen pointed to the opposite Duanmu Rong on the city wall and said that there was a problem with the arrow tower there when it was repaired, so it looked a little strange, but I heard that it was very good, and then he took her to a certain remote alley to find a very inconspicuous shop to eat shabu shabu, and proudly said that this is the only delicacy in Wuxian Town.

Watching the winter scenery along the way, eating fresh meat and drinking spirits, Duanmu Rong didn't say much, just quietly listened to what he said, followed him, and then looked at him seriously, his eyes were scattered but no longer indifferent, and occasionally passed some meaning.

"You've been to Immortal Town before?"

"Passed by once. ”

"Then why are you so familiar with Wuxian Town?"

"Because...... I once had a friend who lived here for a long time. ”

Xu Chen bought a piece of kang sweet potato at the shelter of the street corner, carefully wrapped it in two pieces of coarse paper, handed it to Duanmu Rong and asked her to go back to the General's Mansion first, and then walked into an alley, looking at the corner of the eaves of the General's Mansion and was silent for a long time.

The general in the general's mansion is about to retire, he once made immortal contributions to the establishment of the empire, and now he knows and asks to remove his armor, presumably the court will be honored, and the end cannot be considered bleak.

However, there was so much blood in the general's palace in the capital, and so many headless corpses were burned in the villages on the border.

He wanted to kill the general, but he knew he couldn't kill him, and he still couldn't.

The senior brother came forward in person, and he could only watch the other party unload his armor and return to the field to cut off all the past grievances, and waved his sleeves without taking away any of the past and the blood in the past, so he looked at the eaves of the General's Mansion and was silent for a long time.

The alley was quiet and cold, and no one walked through, so at this moment, a middle-aged man in a dark cotton suit quietly leaned over, looking around and no one was paying attention, before handing the small note in his hand to Xu Chen.

This middle-aged man is the formation master who had contacted him in the Bishui Camp at the beginning, and the formation master has a special identity in Biansai, so it is not too difficult to meet Xu Chen in Wuxian Town.

Xu Chen's gaze fell on the small note, his body suddenly stiffened, the fingers holding the note trembled slightly in the cold wind, and after a moment of silence, he asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Why did you notify me now?"

The middle-aged man glanced at him sympathetically and reported in a low voice: "I can't find Mr. in the wasteland, so I have to stay in Wuxian Town and wait for Mr. to return." ”

Xu Chen looked at the note, slowly closed his eyes, and shook his head.

The middle-aged man walked out of the alley in silence.

After a long time, Xu Chen opened his eyes, destroyed the note in his hand, looked up at the gray winter sky, and muttered, "Why are you so dead?"

The message on the note was bad news from the capital.

The news was very simple, but it caused a great shock to Xu Chen, and he didn't have time to recall the first meeting in the meadow.

The note was very short, but it vaguely contained a lot of content, Xu Chen roughly understood that the reason why the priest had been imprisoned in Momoyama for many years was related to the bloody case of the General's Mansion, and according to those analyses, he caught a very strong intuition in the dark - the reason why the priest went to the capital should be looking for himself!

He didn't understand where this intuition came from, since he received those fragments of the old monk's spiritual world at the entrance of the Demon Sect Hall, he often gave birth to some very mysterious intuition, and he believed in this intuition.

"Master, did you die because of me?"

Xu Chen looked at the gloomy sky, his mood was gloomy and unspeakable, his mood was extremely bad, if the person who let the master leave this world still existed, he could still suppress the sadness in his heart with the idea of revenge, but the great priest of light was also killed by the master, what else could he do for the master?

He retracted his gaze from the sky, looked at the general's mansion, and said with emotion: "It seems that the bloody case in the general's mansion back then really had something to do with the Divine Army. Why do you do this? Why is it that the master should die but dies, and people like you deserve to die but always never die?"

After a moment of silence, he said: "After the general unloads his armor and returns to the field, there will be a few mansions in the good fields, and in his spare time, he will invite cats and dogs to tease Yahuan, and when he is bored, he will move a chair to hide in the shade of the melon to make his grandson happy, this kind of day is really beautiful." ”

Standing in the middle of the alleys of Wuxian Town, silently thinking about his long-dead friend and the master who had just passed away, Xu Chen felt endless sorrow welling up in his chest and abdomen, and then those sorrows burned into hot ashes.

Those hot ashes made the breath in his body run abruptly faster, and his qi sea and snow mountains began to produce an indescribable subtle change, and the faint breath of heaven and earth among the winter trees in the surrounding streets and alleys seemed to sense this change, slowly and calmly shrouded over, through the thick jacket and the skin under the clothes, gradually seeping into his body, gradually becoming unstoppable.

A winter tree stretched obliquely in the middle of the alley, Xu Chen, who felt something, suddenly entered some kind of inexplicable realm, he stood silently between the shadows of the winter tree and closed his eyes to understand, and did not make any movement for a long time.

The breath of heaven and earth in the remnants of the snow in the winter tree bluestone in the alley silently enveloped his body, and the passage that ran through the spiritual sea in his body became more and more magnificent, and the invisible but qualitative qi slowly flowed between them.

When the aura is dispersed throughout the body, the aura in the passage becomes relatively thin, and it is gradually filled with the vitality that pours into the body between heaven and earth, this process is like eating delicious food without worrying about bloating.

This feeling is very beautiful, and when the aura in the passage flows through the most subtle parts of his body, it feels even more beautiful, washing his spirit and body like spring water, moisturizing every muscle and every bone, bringing a warm and satisfying but fresh and greasy feeling.

The changes in the body make some kind of changes on the outside, the thick jacket on Xu Chen's body seems to have absorbed the rain, tightly clinging to the body, and the extremely quiet breath seems to have some kind of attraction, not only attracting the atmosphere of heaven and earth between the trees, stones and snow in the alley, but also the things in the real world.

There was no wind in the alley, but the shadow of the winter tree was trembling slightly, because the dead leaves hanging on the tips were drifting towards his body below, pulling the thin branches straight, and the small amount of dust on the stone slabs in the alley also floated up at this moment, gradually gathering at his feet.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Chen slowly opened his eyes, a bright luster flashed in his eyes, and then quickly disappeared to normal, the shadow of the tree under his feet no longer trembled, and the winter tree was slowly retracted by the branches that were as taut as a bowstring, only the dust on the side of his shoes was still accumulating, looking as if his feet were deep in thick dust.

Xu Chen looked at the dust at his feet and was silent, he knew that his cultivation realm and strength had improved a moment ago, but this improvement was not the original cultivation method, but the aura in his body was condensed and strengthened again.

After leaving the entrance of the Demon Sect, he had never practiced that aura, but based on the fear of the underworld, he subconsciously didn't want to think about those things.

Until today, when he heard the news of the master's death, he vaguely guessed the filth behind the scenes of those long-ago bloody stories, looked at the cornices of the general's mansion, and thought of the happy life after Simon Wang's return to old age, he had a lot of sorrow and unwillingness in his heart, and he had a lot of dissatisfaction with this world.

"If I go deeper into the demon, will I go farther and farther away from this world?"

Xu Chen looked at the lonely appearance of the alley trees around him in winter, looked at the dim sky cut by the thin branches, and sighed, his expression was still calm, but the spiritual world was a little unstable because of the awakening of the qi in his body.
