Chapter 08: The Assassins
The moonlit night is vast.
Shangguan Yao sat on the roof of a certain attic with a white dress.
The evening breeze blew lightly, raised her sleeve robe, and danced. Holding a jade bottle in his hand, he loosened it slightly, and looked at it quietly. On the side, a fairy sword that no one had ever seen was in its sheath and lay quietly.
Since the shocking changes in southern Xinjiang two years ago, Shangguan Yao has been a blockbuster, and as a new disciple, he has defeated the prestigious Vermilion Bird Holy Envoy of the Dark Sect, and he has become famous for a while, and even now, he is the object of admiration in the hearts of many young male disciples. However, she is also notoriously cold.
It is rumored that Xue Hao of the Confucian Garden, who thought he was familiar with Shangguan Yao, used her sword without authorization, but was seriously injured by Shangguan Yao, regardless of the feelings of the same righteous path.
At this point, the focus of everyone's attention fell on the fairy sword again.
But she was also surprised that the sword that had been kept in the sheath had never been used by her, and even Xue Hao, who had only seen it once, kept silent about it after he recovered from his injury, lest he be too late.
This seems to have become a fan that the Central Plains is talking about.
"Sister, I'm going to Nanfeng Pavilion tomorrow, rest early. ”
Behind her, Su Xiaoyan gradually climbed onto the roof and whispered to Shangguan Yao. pursed his lips, and seemed to feel a little distressed about Shangguan Yao's appearance at the moment.
glanced at the swordsman standing on the side, and his eyebrows rose a little stunned. If Ye Qiuqi hadn't told her, she would still be like an outsider, and she didn't know what kind of sword was hidden in that scabbard.
However, what can she do except feel distressed?
"Hmm. ”
Shangguan Yao responded lightly and stood up.
Unconsciously, he glanced at the waning moon in the sky.
She didn't know that in another corner of the city, there was also a person who was watching the waning moon. Like her, I remember the person who is deep in my heart.
"Hoo ......"
In front of the window, Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.
The cool breeze blowing in his face lifted a strand of hair on his forehead, swaying endlessly. There was a touch of sadness between his eyebrows, but he was still thinking about the illusion before, that, the illusion born from his heart.
That's true.
It is precisely because of this that I know what my concerns are.
If she revealed her identity and met Shangguan Yao, she would definitely move forward side by side with her regardless of a qiē, and in this way, she made her deviate from her original path, and became the enemy of the Central Plains like herself. It is enough for a Zihan to go astray, and Shangguan Yao must not be allowed to fall into it again.
Never!
Even if you deceive her, you can't!
"Squeak......
Suddenly, the window on the left side was gently pushed open, and there was a loud sound, as if breaking the silence of the moment. In the night, it drifted far, far away.
"If you're lonely, why don't you come to my sister's room?"
Liu Shenyan's evil laughter interrupted Qin Chuan's thoughts, making Qin Chuan feel embarrassed. This Liu Shenyan is so open-mouthed, and he is even more like a man, and such shameful words can be spoken. If she did go to her house, I'm afraid she would be crazy again......
But I don't know why she stayed up all night.
"I'm afraid you'll eat me!"
Qin Chuan snorted, closed the window, and lay down on the couch.
He stopped talking and fell asleep quietly.
......
Following.
Outside Yinshan City, Nanfeng Pavilion.
Between the foothills, the sky is high and the water is clear, and the bell is beautiful. Between the green forests, there are several attic buildings, solemn and elegant, with little green smoke, and there is also a bit of dusty wind.
"What kind of banquet is there to hold in the South Wind Pavilion. ”
At this time, on the mountain road, Qin Chuan reluctantly followed behind Liu Shenyan.
"Nanfeng Pavilion is the lord of this Youzhou, Fuximen has sent even Mu Zhen to arrest the assassin this time, and he can't express it. Presumably, it's a small meeting to talk about how to search for that assassin. ”
Liu Shenyan responded casually.
It doesn't matter to her whether Fuximen takes the assassin or not, but she represents the Jade Sword Sect, and Nanfeng Pavilion knows that she has come to Youzhou, so she naturally wants to invite her along the way.
In this way, it is just right to find out who the assassin is.
Hearing this, Qin Chuan nodded in his heart.
This time she agreed to Liu Shenyan to accompany her, which seems to be right. Moreover, there is always a premonition in my heart that something may happen at this banquet. However, there is also a little worry, at this time, the Underworld Sect is targeting Liu Shenyan for some reason, and the ghost is also calculating himself at all times.
The situation is a bit chaotic.
"By the way, do you know what the assassin looks like?"
"How do I know...... You ask him!"
Liu Shenyan was responding, and suddenly glanced at the sky, and changed his words.
Immediately, Qin Chuan raised his head slightly, and saw Ye Qiuqi and his party of three people coming with the sword, and it seemed that he could also see himself and Liu Shenyan below, and they drove down for a while, and fell steadily to the side.
"Senior Sister Shenyan, is it so coincidental?"
Ye Qiuqi laughed, it seemed that the joke he made yesterday had long been forgotten. Su Xiaoyan stood behind him, looking delicate. Thinking about the relationship between the two over the years, how can Liu Shenyan's words affect it.
At this time, Qin Chuan glanced at Shangguan Yao vaguely, sighed in his heart, and turned to smile at Ye Qiuqi. Seeing that Qin Chuan had no words, Liu Shenyan thought that Qin Chuan was not easy to speak.
She glanced at Ye Qiuqi:
"I said, what is the origin of the assassin who broke into Yanfeng, and actually sent Mu Zhen out? Isn't that guy Mu Zhen like your real person, who rarely sets foot in the Central Plains?"
"Ah, ...... talk about it"
"How can they say that they are outsiders?"
As soon as Ye Qiuqi spoke, Shangguan Yao suddenly snorted, and glanced at Liu Shenyan with a vague look. It seems that the two of them are not on the right path, and I don't know why.
“......”
Immediately, Ye Qiuqi kept silent, still the same as before, afraid of Shangguan Yao.
At this moment, Liu Shenyan also slanted his eyebrows at Shangguan Yao and skimmed to the side. In Qin Chuan's eyes, it was a little strange, these two people, is there something wrong?
Su Xiaoyan glanced at everyone for a week, and saw that Ye Qiuqi looked a little unbearable.
"Sister, since Senior Sister Liu has come to Nanfeng Pavilion, she should also come to help us. The real person in charge didn't say that this matter needs to be kept secret, didn't he even unite with the South Wind Pavilion?"
Hearing this, Shangguan Yao pursed her lips and stopped talking.
However, it can be regarded as acquiescing to Su Xiaoyan's words.
"The assassin also said it strangely, he never showed up from beginning to end, and he also searched every corner of Luoyan Peak, including every forbidden place in my Fuxi Gate. ”
Ye Qiuqi said, and couldn't help but feel a little dignified.
Hearing this, Liu Shenyan's face was a little surprised, and even more shocked.
Qin Chuan's heart froze. To be able to peek at the entire Luoyan Peak under the noses of so many advanced seniors in Fuximen, what kind of strong cultivation should it be? It is no wonder that Fuximen spared no manpower to capture that assassin back. The peak of Luoyan Peak is where all the secrets of Fuxi Gate lie!
"And, the most terrible thing is ......"
Ye Qiuqi glanced at everyone and continued, "That person knows the Dao Law and the Demon Dao, and later, he used a strange method, according to the seniors in the sect, it is ghost magic!"
“?!”
Suddenly, Qin Chuan's expression was stunned.
Taoism, Demonic Path, Ghost Magic...... Could it be that it is a dustless child and a soul?!
However, with their cultivation, why do they need to do this to a Fuximen? It is even more impossible for them to be severely injured by Fuximen and flee. Moreover, Wuchenzi has always known his whereabouts.
Undoubtedly, the whole thing is becoming more and more confusing.
"The rumor says the man is there for ...... For Qin Chuan, how can you say it?"
Liu Shenyan calmed down, asked, and couldn't help but glance at Shangguan Yao vaguely.
"What he said in his own mouth, the divine consciousness is transmitted, and everyone on the Falling Goose Peak knows it, and I still wonder for a long time after listening to it. said that I Fuximen spread that Qin Chuan was dead, but I secretly imprisoned Qin Chuan. But what's even stranger is that he is still here, and he doesn't know whether he wants to save Qin Chuan or kill Qin Chuan. ”
Ye Qiuqi replied, and couldn't help but shake his head:
"That guy, no matter what, he won't let people live in peace!"
“......”
Qin Chuan quietly glanced at Ye Qiuqi, but he was still confused in his heart.
Who is it that broke into Luoyan Peak for himself? Although his master Wuchenzi has no motive, it cannot be ruled out; and if Zihan escapes, it is very likely that he will look for himself regardless of a qiē; and there is a ghost who has always wanted to seize the Jiuyao Glass Cup, it is not completely impossible.
Isn't it alone?!
Thinking about it, Qin Chuan's heart sank, and a wave of uneasy feelings floated.
......
"Let's go, you guys take a slow tour of the mountains and rivers, Senior Brother Mu wants us to go over in advance. ”
Ye Qiuqi retracted his feelings, greeted Qin Chuan and Liu Shenyan respectively, stood up with his sword, and continued to fly towards the mountain with the two behind him.
Looking at their departing backs, Qin Chuan smiled lightly.
"What are you laughing at?"
Suddenly, Liu Shenyan looked at Qin Chuan with an evil face, "Isn't it, you have taken a fancy to that Shangguan Yao?"
“......”
"I sue you, you can't afford to mess with her. In the past few decades, Fuximen has been the first young disciple to break through the Eight Dharma Fortune Realm, and the man who stared at her in the Central Plains couldn't count it for three days and three nights. ”
“......”
Qin Chuan was slightly speechless, but also slightly shocked.
Ye Qiuqi and the others were his close friends, so he naturally wouldn't intentionally spy on their cultivation, but when he heard Liu Shenyan's words, he couldn't help but be slightly shocked.
Unexpectedly, have you broken through the Eight Laws?!
"How does that compare to you?"
Qin Chuan suddenly felt a sigh in his heart, and looked at Liu Shenyan with a smile.
"With such a demonic talent, I can't compare to her, but if she wants to defeat me, it is not so easy. Last time, didn't she come to me for that guy? ”
Liu Shenyan said, seemingly a little displeased.
Although her cultivation is slightly worse than Shangguan Yao, she has been famous for a long time, and her experience in dealing with people is richer than that of Shangguan Yao, and her scheming city government is also better. Qin Chuan naturally knew this, but why did the two of them fight?
"Why didn't she stop Qin Chuan in the first place, I want to stop it, and I still need her to teach?"
Liu Shenyan said angrily, as if he also remembered the past, a little sad. Immediately glancing at Qin Chuan coldly, Gu Zi walked towards the mountain and said to himself:
"I'm talking to you about this!"
