Chapter Seventy-Two: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore

Is there such a funny name in the world? How can you not pull out a surname nine in the hundred family names, Mingyue was already not very good-looking that day, even if the coarse linen boy in front of him was really handsome and extraordinary, you must know that Mount Emei is not a place where anyone can set foot at will, and the sword god who was famous in the rivers and lakes was also allowed to go up to Mount Emei with the permission of the ancestor and stay overnight in the Moon Tower, but this son quietly concealed from all the junior sisters of the sect to go to the golden top, isn't it too appalling?

The bright moon said on the same day.

"Childe really shouldn't make this kind of joke in this holy place, where in the world is there such a name, don't you see that my Emei Mountain is a female generation, so I can't be bullied. ”

"Naturally not. ”

The Nine Masters shook their heads.

"Women in the world can be bullied, it also depends on what place it is, but no matter what, it will not be in this Mount Emei, before coming down is nothing more than to have heard that Mount Emei is a fairy dojo, I want to come to see it, by the way, I also want to ask the gods do not eat the fireworks of the world, does it mean that they will not interfere in the affairs of the world. ”

"Naturally not. ”

As a senior sister, Mingyue was the first person to communicate with the Nine Masters, she said lightly.

"The suffering of the world, the righteous path of the world should be taken care of, otherwise it will not make the people of the world worship the holy land chilled?"

"It's so good, there is just one thing that makes the world fall into misery, and you Emei fairies need to worry about it. ”

The nine masters told the disciples of Mount Emei about the destruction of the Lin family, and they must know that there was such a big tragedy in Jiangnan, and Mount Emei had already heard of it, but there was no one in Jiangnan all the time, so they didn't know the situation carefully.

"So the Ninth Prince is here to ask us to help? So can you allow the little woman to ask, what does the Lin family have to do with the Ninth Prince?

In addition to Mingyue, there are many female disciples who look at the door intentionally or unintentionally, and it is not easy to see them once, and they are the nine masters of the most beautiful men, just ask which man in the world can really sit in front of so many fairies that men in the world want but can't get? It's a pity that the latter seems to be completely indifferent to this, and even when he speaks, his eyes are staring at the tea on the table, at most he just looks at Wanqing, who is more generous and beautiful than Mingyue.

Maybe this guy is actually not a man who likes women, and the female disciples silently speculated in their hearts, although only one scoop of weak water is 3,000, but if there is such an opportunity, as a man, especially a handsome man, he never minds replacing the water scoop with a water tank.

The Nine Masters said lightly.

"I have nothing to do with the Lin family, but I have something to do with the enemies of the Lin family. ”

The second girl's face changed immediately, if it weren't for the double swords on the table as if they were held down by the Nine Great Masters and couldn't move, otherwise I am afraid that they would immediately draw their swords to defend.

Isn't the enemy of the Lin family the Demon Sect? Isn't the Nine Masters related to the Demon Sect a member of the Demon Sect?

The ninth master was not surprised or pleased.

"Don't be so flustered, this is Emei, there can't be any big mess, not to mention that there are good people and bad people in the Demon Sect, just like you Emei Mountain also have lustful women who also go cold and cold women, the most important thing is the one next to the fairy, although she doesn't laugh, but I believe that if she is willing to laugh, it will definitely overshadow all the women in the world. ”

Wan Qing glared angrily. "Disciple Deng, who wants to laugh at you? If I hadn't seen you as a guest, I would have drawn my sword and killed you. ”

The ninth master said again.

"Since you said that I am a guest, you should know the truth of treating each other with courtesy, I came to Emei to send information, if you kill me like this, won't it make me chill?"

"You are really a sharp-toothed guy, a man is good-looking and will not be annoying, but a man is obviously good-looking but has a flamboyant tongue that is a little annoying, since the skylight is opened, then let's say something bright, what do you want to do in our Emei? If you can't say why, I'm afraid the sword in my hand will not be polite. ”

Even if she clearly knew that the guy in front of her who claimed to be the Nine Masters was actually terrifying, as a senior sister, Wanqing couldn't fall behind in front of the Nine Masters.

"My intention is simple, the Demon Cult will be making big moves recently, so I'm here to remind you to be careful. ”

Wan Qing said coldly. "Isn't it a big move to destroy the Lin family's full house, what tricks can you come up with?"

Nine Great Masters Dao.

"The Lin family is nothing, not to mention that the poor people must have something to hate, I just informed you in advance, someone wants to dominate the world, you famous and decent people are his roadblock, if you don't go to them, they will find you sooner or later." ”

Mingyue said: "This also includes you, the ninth prince?"

The ninth master said: "Not including me, because I'm actually just a shadow, the shadow can walk up the mountain, and it is amazing enough to sit down and drink tea, how can the shadow go to trouble others, right?"

After the nine masters said this, they did not say hello to the three ancestors of Emei and went down the mountain silently, hiking when they came, and walking down the mountain was also hiking, leaving only a group of stunned Emei disciples.

On that day, Emei received the news, all the major sects in the rivers and lakes came to report such a strange person to report their worries, according to the letter, this person's appearance, tone, tone and demeanor are exactly the same, the second daughter was surprised when she heard the news, and the more years passed, the more white and tender the ancestor Ning Xiaorong said.

"Master, could it be that this person really has the ability to fly swords for thousands of miles, otherwise how could he notify so many sects in such a short period of time?"

Ning Xiaorong said.

"The flying sword crossing thousands of miles is too exaggerated, if it is not a true immortal who enters the heavens and the earth, it is impossible for mortals to do it, one breath of the sword is already the ultimate, if you want to breathe again, you have to stop, if you can control the sword for a hundred miles in one breath and then a hundred miles can already be called the peak master of the world, if you want to become this kind of character, how can it be so simple to do it? The reason why this son was able to achieve such a feat should be that he calculated the time when all the sect letters arrived at the same time, and this calculation ability alone is not something that ordinary people can do, but I still can't figure out what he means when he says that he is actually just a shadow? Could it be that he wants to say that he is a person who does not exist at all? But it is indeed a person who has just gone to Emei, not a ghost or other yin object, which is really a little difficult to understand. ”

Tossing such a big movement, if it was just to feed the rumors, it would be too unreasonable, after careful discussion by the leaders of several great avenues, it was finally decided that each sect would send a part of its disciples south to Jiangnan to see what kind of force this demon sect was gradually experiencing.

Wan Ming Ming Yue and their group of disciples went down Mount Emei, all the way south, originally thought that this time would be smooth, even if they really want to encounter any trouble, it should be met after arriving in Jiangnan Mansion, after all, after the battle of Luoxia Mountain, the forces in the world are clearly distinguished, and the well water does not violate the river water on weekdays, presumably no one will be so restless and dare to break this hard-won balance, in fact, this road is indeed smooth sailing, no trouble, but I didn't expect to meet the nine masters again on the way, the handsome but just said that he was just a shadow man。

"You're waiting for us here!"

Mingyue Road, along the way, the wind and dust, finally met a tea shop built on the way can also be baked for warmth, a group of Emei female disciples naturally want to rest here, they just stepped into the tea shop and saw the nine masters drinking alone.

Instead of drinking wine, he drank a pot of hot tea, at such a temperature, I am afraid that even if a beast comes and licks it, it will burn his tongue, but the Nine Masters don't seem to be aware of this kind of temperature that can burn people.

Mingyue Wanqing and all the female disciples sat down, and Mingyue didn't wait for the nine masters who drank alone to speak.

"Even if it's cold, you won't want to warm up so much, not to mention that there is a fire here, and it's spring, you're such a weirdo. ”

The Nine Masters said lightly.

"Your so-called weirdos are just other people doing things that you can't understand, but it seems to me that every weirdo in the world has a reason why he has become so strange, and I have a reason, I have had a strange disease since I was a child. ”

For the first time when he spoke, there was this sad taste between his eyebrows.

"When I was born, I was cold, there was no temperature, I didn't cry or make trouble, if it weren't for the midwife saying that I was not a dead baby, I'm afraid I would have been discarded a long time ago, and I wouldn't have lived until now, but fate always likes to joke with people, even if I am clearly a big living person, but my father and mother still abandoned me, because they said I was a freak, anyone who touched me, my body would be frostbitten, sometimes even I doubted myself, maybe I was really not alone, and then someone took me in and taught me how to restrain this physique, I will barely live until now。 ”

Wan Qing said, "So you like to drink hot water when you drink water, so as to relieve the pain in your heart?"

Master Nine continued.

"It's not all like that, it's painful in the heart, it's even more painful in the body, after all, you should know what it's like to take a red-hot knife and put it in the cooled butter, I'm like butter, and as for this cup of tea, it's the red-hot knife. ”

"It's the first time I've heard someone compare themselves like that. ”

Perhaps thinking that the Nine Masters in front of her were not as treacherous and evil as she imagined, Wanqing let down her guard and took the initiative to sit opposite the Nine Masters, and personally added half a cup of hot tea to the only half cup left.

"If this will only make you more miserable, then why do you still do this, and torture yourself like this. ”

"Because that's the only way I can feel like a human being, not a beast that is so cold that I don't feel anything, and every once in a while I want to try the taste of piping hot tea, just like a beast has been doing it for a long time, and sometimes I want to try what it's like to be human. ”

"Then I'd love to see what you were like when you were a beast. ”

"You'd better not see it. ”

The ninth master said very seriously.

"It's going to die. ”

A chill invaded her whole body from the soles of her feet, and she was stared at by the Nine Masters like this, and Wanqing felt like she was being targeted by a desolate beast for no reason.

But the next moment, the small tea shop that was poured by the cold suddenly returned to the earth, because the ninth master smiled, and when he laughed, it was like spring flowers.

It turns out that there are still men in the world who look so good with a smile.

It was not only Wanqing who was facing the Nine Masters, but also Mingyue, just looking at this smiling face, it was as if he had seen another smiling face with dimples.

It's just that Mingyue sighed lightly in her heart.

The ninth master is really good-looking when he laughs, but no matter how good-looking he is, he never looks like him.

The Nine Masters smiled and said.

"Just kidding the fairies, I don't kill women. ”

Wanqing was relieved, and between a few words, she felt that her palms were already soaked with cold sweat, and she said coldly.

"This is really a joke that is not very funny, according to what you say, since you don't kill women, then you must have a woman you love in your heart to do this, do you think the woman you love will mind you like this?"

"Say no more. ”

The ninth master is like a face-changing person, only when the sun is shining and suddenly the clouds are thick.

"Don't be that slut in front of me. ”

"You ......"

Wanqing was speechless for several times, but she didn't dare to annoy the strange person in front of her who couldn't see through the depths, and she said coldly again.

"If you don't mention it, why are you so crazy? What's more, I don't know you at all, I just think you're too lonely, and I want to say a few words to you to relieve my boredom. Say, I don't believe that you drink tea on this official road just to make yourself a human being, what else do we have to do?"

"Waiting for you?"

The face of the ninth master has returned to normal, but when he heard Wanqing's words, he was a little unimpressed.

"I never said I was waiting for you, maybe I was just feeling a little thirsty and wanted to drink tea here, and we just happened to meet. It can only be said that there is some fate. ”

"You ......"

Wanqing was angry with such a sentence and pointed out that the ninth master couldn't say a word for a long time, he was not afraid of a handsome man, he was afraid of a handsome but a little ruffian.

"Forget it, since you are not waiting for us here, it is our sisters who are self-inflicted, so don't pass by. ”

It didn't take long for Mingyue to sit down, and he was about to leave before he even had the tea and snacks on the table, he was too impatient, Mingyue saw her junior sister for the first time that she couldn't even get any benefit from her mouth, knowing that if she stayed here any longer, I was afraid that it wouldn't be long before the two of them would fight, so she could only look at the sisters, and when she was out, the eldest brother was the father, in other words, it would not be wrong for the eldest sister to be the leader, although the sisters wished they could sit for a while longer, and look at the nine masters more, if they could go south together, it would be better to have a lot of fun on the road, but after seeing Mingyue's face was a little undoubted, they had to separate their butts from the stool。

"The mountains are high and the waters are far away, and there will be no time in the future. ”

Wanqing coldly put down a few taels of tea money, but the ninth master was one step faster, and when Wanqing took out the silver, he had already taken out a gold ingot and put it on the table, and ignored the tea shop owner who was staring at the tea shop with wide eyes and shining eyes, and stepped out of the tea shop first.

The owner of the tea shop is a commonplace thing, and they all say that the relationship between men and women does not start to sprout from the first fight? to the point where it is difficult to recover from the water? What's more, the nine masters know that they are not ordinary people just from their faces, even if they are only wearing a coarse linen coat, it is difficult to hide their heroic spirit, and the hero is matched with a beauty, and the hero should naturally pay for a few bowls of tea for the beauty.

The boss said happily.

"This fairy doesn't have to pay for it, this son has already paid all your tea money, and there is still a lot left. ”

Wanqing said angrily.

"Who cares about his stinky money? We pay our own money, and besides, please figure it out, we don't know this arrogant guy, please don't get us together, okay?"

Regardless of the stunned face of the tea shop owner, Wanqing directly put a few taels of silver on the table.

"Sisters, let's go. ”

"This ......"

The owner of the tea shop was in trouble, and he never thought that there would be such a tangled thing in this world that made money in vain.

To collect or not to collect tea money?

The Nine Masters, who were standing at the door blocking the spring outside the door, said lightly.

"I'm afraid you have misunderstood, my gold ingots are not paying you for tea, but just buying this tea shop. ”

"Heh......"

Wanqing's face was blue again.

"I didn't see it, it turned out that the ninth prince was so rich, and he wanted to buy someone else's tea shop if he didn't agree with him, could it be that he was trying to block the road and flirt with a good woman on this official road?"

Dalliance?

Mingyue's eyes widened and she couldn't believe that these two words came out of her own junior sister's mouth, and then looked at the ninth master and said coldly.

"I can't do this kind of thing of molesting a good woman, and buying this tea shop is a last resort, it's not easy to make money, I'm not so squandering, it's just because this tea shop may be about to cease to exist. ”

Wanqing didn't understand what this sentence meant, but when the Ninth Master stepped aside and saw a sword boy with a broken arm walking slowly on the official road, he probably guessed what was going on.

The boy was dressed in white, his skin was like jade, and he had a sword behind him, but the sleeve of his left arm was empty.

At this time, Gongsun Jing finally found an opportunity for revenge after stepping through a thousand mountains.

"You made it easy for me to find, I didn't expect to hide here and be happy with a group of girls, I want you to see today how I avenged my broken arm. ”

The sudden saber-rattling did not make the Nine Masters feel any surprise or surprise, but there seemed to be some indescribable joy between their words.

"You still managed to climb up alive and take the initiative to find me, you must have known what to do with me. ”

"Yes, Lao Tzu has found a way to deal with you, and has also brought you a not-so-good news, your death is approaching. ”

"You just said it was coming, but it doesn't have to be today. ”

"Then I have to collect some interest today. ”

Regardless of the disciples of Emei Mountain who were still in shock, Gongsun Jing raised his sword and went, if it weren't for Mingyue's quick eyes, I am afraid that the owner of this tea shop would have turned into a corpse with a bang.

What a domineering sword.

Wanqing squinted slightly, after a sword, the one-armed man had already fought with the Nine Masters, the soil was splashed, and the sword aura was permeated, and it didn't take long for the Nine Masters to flee, and there was a shocking bloodstain on the ground.

The Ninth Master was injured.

Wanqing, who was supposed to shout loudly because of the evil breath in her heart, wanted to see who this one-armed man was for no reason, after all, he could have such a powerful skill at such an age, how could he be an unknown person?

So after such a pursuit, he chased it all the way to Jiangnan Mansion, so it was also earlier than other sects.

After listening to what happened, Sima Yun said softly.

"The one-armed man, with a sword behind him, and his skin like jade, the man you are talking about seems to be a person we have seen before, if so, he has only broken his arm for a long time, and he seems to have a bad nickname now, the sword thief. ”

"You're talking about the sword thief who stole the three famous swords of the Famous Sword Villa?"

Wanqing was a little surprised.

"Not long ago, someone seemed to release the news, saying that this sword thief was actually Gongsun Jing, the second in the world. ”

"I'm really not sure how to answer. ”

Sima Yun took one last look at the ghouls waiting to be fed on the ground in the courtyard of the Lin family's house, thinking that there was no other way to destroy this thing, and he was afraid that he would accidentally break in with beasts or people, so he took the ghoul larvae out and left a lot of trouble, and set fire to the old mansion of the Lin family that had stood here for an unknown number of years.

The fire was full of light, and the people in the city spontaneously organized people to put out the fire, but this quiet inn was indifferent.

The Emei disciple and Sima Yun and his party stayed in the same inn, and before Sima Yun could enter the door, he lowered his voice without asking for anything.

"Aren't you afraid that this fire will burn what we're looking for?"

"If you don't put this fire, when the ghouls find a chance to breed, the whole city will suffer, so I changed my mind temporarily, and you think, if we set this fire, there will always be people who can't sit still and come out to put out the fire, for the time being, we just need to watch the fire from the other side, and by the way, let's see who is fighting the fire, besides, presumably the place where this fire can be burned must be a place that has been rummaged through countless times, it is better to simply burn it clean, so as to see which places have not been affected by the fire. ”

went upstairs, except for Jiang Ming and Master Ku, everyone else was asleep, and saw Jiang Ming, who had brought a group of Emei fairies in, and now he had become a waste, was a little unwilling to stay here for a long time, but fortunately, Mingyue was empathetic, and only toasted a cup of tea to resolve the embarrassment.

"Calculate the time, almost these days, people from other sects should also arrive, but the nine princes gathered us all here, but now there is no movement, I don't know what to do, even if we want to deal with the Demon Sect, we must know the details of the Demon Sect, but we are now like headless flies, and we don't even know what the Demon Sect wants to do, so it's really a little anxious. ”

Wanqing looked at Sima Yun.

"I don't know what kind of way Sima Gongzi has. ”

"I don't have a clue yet. ”

Sima Yun shook his head.

"Everything is still only traced back to the source from the Lin family, but the entire rivers and lakes and the imperial court have not moved for so long, presumably it is not a day or two to find out clearly, we need to be patient, for the time being, we can make a two-step plan, the first step is to investigate in all directions, there is always news circulating in the market, the second step is to only target the people in the Demon Sect, but I estimate that the second step will definitely not be so easy, in addition, it seems that we have no other way than to wait for the nine masters you said." ”

"If Nine ......"

Wanqing blurted out the three words of the Nine Masters, but when the words came to her mouth, she always felt that it was really indecent, so she could only change it to What if the Nine Princes had been killed by Gongsun Jing? Who are we waiting for then?

"It's not that easy, according to what you said, it was the ninth master who took Gongsun Jing's arm, since he knew that Gongsun Jing might have revenge and was so calm, he could be sure that he had no fear, after all, if it were you, you wouldn't be so quiet waiting for the enemy to come to the door, right? There is another thing to pay attention to, that is, it is best not to disperse when the other major sects are sent, so as not to be broken by each other, after all, the opponents we are facing this time are no longer those opponents we can see and touch, and the people in the shadows are the most terrible people. ”

The people in the Demon Cult are like people in the shadows, maybe they just rubbed shoulders with people one moment, and the next moment they suddenly rose up to kill people.

Staying in a few big men's rooms was inevitably criticized, and after arranging the next plan, everyone dispersed, but Jian Wuqiu was not so easy to fall asleep, the Lin family was on fire, reflecting the face of Sima Yun who was sitting on the roof and letting the heat wave hit his face, Jian Wuqiu seemed to see some loneliness and happiness in Sima Yun.

He sat down next to Sima Yun and said.

"You give me the impression that you are not a person who is tied down, and every time you face trouble, you seem to be fully prepared, so what you just said is just to fool those girls, right? ”

"You just believe me?"

Sima Yun said goodbye to the fire and drank strongly.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll take you brothers into the pit one day?"

"Of course I'm afraid. ”

Jian Wuqiu took Sima Yun's wine and took a sip.

"But anyone who has a little affection knows what it means to be a brother who has been born and died, I don't believe that you Sima Yun is this kind of person, otherwise you wouldn't have let go of such a fire, can I ask you if you have any other preparations besides waiting for that guy to come to the door?"

The guy that Jian Wuqiu said was not the Nine Masters, but the Frost Boy he met on the way to Feixian Pass.

Jian Wu asked, "I always thought that guy would come to the door soon." ”

Sima Yun said: "I think so too, but one thing you are right about." I'm not one of those people who likes to be passive about everything, and before that, I seemed to have found the insider we were looking for. ”

"How do you know that person is?"

Following Sima Yun's gaze, Jian Wuqiu looked at the unkempt man carrying a bucket in the firefighting crowd but looking around.

Sima Yun put down the wine jug and said lightly.

"If there is a person who is always in a team and has no intention of doing things here and there, that person must be a problematic person. ”
