There was thunderous applause, and it was a completely different world in the audience. Everyone was shouting loudly, obsessed with the two beautiful figures on the stage.
The endless glow of the amber scarlet silk and the endless blue light of the Tianya Divine Sword make this place look like a fairyland on earth, extremely beautiful. But what is even more beautiful are the two young women flying back and forth. This competition started in the morning Until now, an hour has passed, and the two sides still cannot decide the outcome. Especially Tian Linger from Dazhu Peak, under Lu Xueqi's Tianya Divine Sword, he has been able to support both offense and defense for so long without being defeated, which is shocking. Feeling surprised.
Off the stage, Tian Buyi, Suru, Master Shuiyue and other senior masters of the two lines were all in the audience. Needless to say, even the head master Daoxuan was sitting on a chair, watching the exciting competition, with a smile on his face. Smile and nod frequently, feeling very happy.
Tian Buyi and Suru were close to each other and were even more nervous. However, seeing that Tian Ling'er was so agile in Taoism and did not fall behind at all, he felt more relaxed. Tian Buyi glanced at his wife beside him and saw that she looked nervous and whispered softly. Said: "Relax, Ling'er will be fine."
Suru turned her head to look at her husband, smiled slightly, and then turned to look at the stage again. Tian Buyi shook his head slightly, and suddenly noticed that the disciples watching behind him, and even the other disciples from far away, were in a commotion.
He turned around to look, and for a moment he was stunned due to his advanced cultivation.
In a narrow passage where the crowd moved out of the way, Zhang Xiaofan slowly walked over. His clothes were all burnt, and there was even light smoke coming out in some places. His face, hands, and body were all covered in big chunks. His body was scorched black, and a pungent smell came to him. Everyone could see that he was walking very hard, as if he had used up all his strength to take every step, but for some reason he still kept walking forward. With.
Tian Buyi just watched his youngest disciple slowly walk over. Without saying a word, his short and fat body left his seat and stood up. Suru felt something and glanced at her husband strangely, and then realized something was wrong. Following his gaze, his face suddenly turned pale and he stood up immediately.
At this time, more people were looking here.
Zhang Xiaofan walked in front of Tian Buyi. Tian Buyi looked at the disciple he usually ignored the most, and looked at his so-called stubbornness, but suddenly there was an uncontrollable anger in his heart. This anger was so strong that he Although they tried their best to suppress it, everyone still heard his anger: "Old Qi, who hurt you like this? Isn't it enough to win?"
Suru was shocked, hearing that her husband was really angry because of this young disciple whom he had looked down on in the past. She was a little worried and pulled Tian Buyi away, but her eyes immediately fell on Zhang Xiaofan again.
On both sides, the disciples of Dazhufeng sect stayed in place because they were too shocked and forgot to help their junior brother.
On the stage, Lu Xueqi and Tian Linger were fighting fiercely, with magic weapons flying in the air and awe-inspiring immortality.
Zhang Xiaofan took a deep look at the stage, then looked at the master in front of him, and saw the angry look on his fat face, as if there was still a hint of care.
He shook his head exhausted and whispered: "No, Master, I won."
After saying that, he felt dizzy in his head, and for a moment the sky became dark and the earth darkened. He fell to the ground with a plop and passed out.
Zhang Xiaofan fell to the ground and was unconscious, but what he said before he fainted made all the disciples from Dazhu Peak to Tian Buyi and down were stunned. After a while, Tian Buyi and others reacted and helped Zhang Xiaofan up.
.
Tian Buyi took a closer look and found that the young apprentice's body was almost scarred as if it had been roasted by a fire, but his internal organs were not seriously injured. He fainted probably due to exhaustion, and he had no idea what happened just now.
What happened in the competition? He pondered for a moment, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw more and more people around him looking here. He didn't want to stand here and be watched by everyone, so he immediately picked up Zhang Xiaofan and whispered to Suru
Said: "I'll take Lao Qi back, and you can watch Ling'er here."
Suru frowned, but still nodded, and glanced at Zhang Xiaofan, whose eyes were closed tightly. The anxious look on his face could no longer be concealed. People from Dazhu Peak also gathered around, and Du Bishu said: "Master, I too
Let me go with you."
Tian Buyi shook his head and said, "No need."
At this moment, even Master Daoxuan's attention was attracted and said: "Junior Brother Tian, is this your disciple? What's wrong?"
Tian Buyi said calmly: "He is not good at studying and suffered some minor injuries. I will take him for treatment. I'll excuse you."
Master Daoxuan nodded, turned around, and looked at the wonderful fight on the stage. As Tian Buyi walked out of the crowd with Zhang Xiaofan in his arms, the matter quickly subsided, and people were excited about the two beauties on the stage again.
, there were only a few young disciples standing on the outskirts of the crowd, and they inadvertently noticed that most of the disciples from the Fenghuifeng lineage had pale faces, and they were gathering in groups towards the distance.
If Zhang Xiaofan were here, he would definitely see that it was the place where the competition took place.
※※※
Under the Nine Netherworld, the Hall of Hell was filled with blazing fires, burning people who were crying and screaming. The smell of blood and burns made him want to vomit. Zhang Xiaofan felt that the world was spinning, but in just a moment, he suddenly returned to many places.
Years ago, in that peaceful little mountain village, the breeze was so light and pleasant.
However, a thunder resounded across the sky, and the sky was filled with dark clouds like mountains, like the raging waves of the angry sea. In the blink of an eye, the kind and friendly villagers turned into mountains of dead bodies, and the peaceful village became a hell on earth!
"No!"
He shouted with all his strength, tensing his muscles, and a heartbreaking pain came from his chest, causing him to take a breath, tremble all over, and wake up.
"Ah, wake up, Xiaofan is awake." The familiar voice that was almost engraved in his heart rang out for the first time, bringing a bit of worry and joy. Zhang Xiaofan opened his eyes and saw Tian Ling
Son.
It seemed that she was back in the past again. She was dressed in red, with amber and scarlet silk wrapped around her waist. Her hair fell softly from her fair neck, setting off her somewhat pale face and her bright eyes, which were pure and pure.
Zhang Xiaofan even saw his own shadow in the pupils of his eyes.
Senior sister! He shouted from deep in his heart.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at her without even blinking. How wonderful it would be if this moment became eternal!
In the room, everyone from Dazhu Peak gathered around. Tian Buyi stepped forward and felt his pulse, nodded and said, "Okay, it's okay."
Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone showed a relieved smile.
Zhang Xiaofan glanced around and saw that everyone in Dazhu Peak was here. He was lying on the bed in the room, all the senior brothers were standing on the ground, and Tian Buyi and Suru were sitting on the chairs in front of the bed.
"What, what's wrong?"
Tian Linger smiled and said: "You won't forget it so quickly, right? During the day, you competed with Peng Chang from Feng Huifeng, and you fainted when you came back. It was a shock. Fortunately, it was nothing serious."
Zhang Xiaofan moved his body. As expected, apart from being a little tired, he only had some pain in his chest, and everything else was fine. He couldn't help but be surprised: "How could this happen? I obviously have..."
Tian Buyi intercepted: "Those burnt wounds are just skin wounds. Just wipe them with my Qingyun Sect's secret elixir. You only received a heavy blow on your chest, but your bones and meridians have not been displaced or shaken.
You’ll be fine after a few days of rest.”
Suru, who was sitting aside, smiled and said, "Xiao Fan, you haven't thanked Master yet. If he hadn't personally rescued you this time, you would have had to recuperate for at least half a year just from the trauma."
Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback and felt very surprised, but his gratitude was still beyond words and he whispered: "The disciple is incompetent and is dragging down the master again."
Tian Buyi snorted, his face turned cold, and said: "How incompetent are you? You are the most capable person in Dazhu Peak now!"
Zhang Xiaofan was shocked again. He didn’t know what Tian Buyi meant by this, so he could only say: “Master, I, no, like senior sister, ah, senior brother and senior brothers, they are all far better than me, I don’t dare...
...." As he spoke, his voice became softer. He only looked at the senior brothers and Tian Linger who were standing in front of him, and their expressions were a little strange at this time. Especially the senior brother who was standing in front of everyone, his face looked a little weird today.
He looked extremely pale, his whole body was no longer as lively as usual, and he actually looked shaky.
Suru sighed and said: "Daxin, please bring a chair for your senior brother to sit on."
Lu Daxin responded quickly, took a chair from the side and put it next to Song Daren. Song Daren wanted to refuse, but after shaking a few times, he finally sat down and took a big breath.
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned and said: "Elder brother, what's wrong with you?"
Song Daren gave a bitter smile but said nothing. On the other hand, the fourth child He Dazhi said: "Junior brother, now that the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition has reached the fourth round, you are the only one left in our Dazhu Peak." At this point, he couldn't help but sigh.
He glanced around.
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, then he remembered something, turned to Tian Linger who was sitting on the bedside and said: "Senior sister, then you also..."
Tian Linger's expression darkened and she whispered, "I also lost."
Zhang Xiaofan looked at her with a look of disappointment and his heart ached, but at this moment, he could not tolerate his random thoughts.
Tian Buyi looked Zhang Xiaofan up and down, his face darkened, and he said: "Old Seven."
Zhang Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat. Hearing the hint of anger in Tian Buyi's words, and seeing the extremely ugly expression on his master's face, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid and said, "Yes, master, what's the matter..."
Before he could finish his words, Tian Buyi stared at Zhang Xiaofan and said decisively: "How did you come to practice Taoism?"
There was a loud "buzz" in Zhang Xiaofan's head, and he opened his mouth wide. He didn't know how to speak for a moment. He looked at everyone in the room one by one, and saw that the usually familiar and friendly senior brothers also remained silent at this time, looking at his own
There was doubt in his eyes.
It's no wonder that a junior fellow student who was usually extremely stupid suddenly became a blockbuster, and no one could accept it in a short period of time.
Under Tian Buyi's aggressive gaze, sweat trickled down Zhang Xiaofan's forehead. For a moment, he almost blurted out and told his master that he was practicing a different martial art secretly. However, when the words came to his lips, he finally
Still endured it.
He is no longer the ignorant young man who knew nothing about the world five years ago. During the daily conversations with his fellow disciples, he has long known the name of Tianyin Temple, and also knows that that night, the skinny old man named Puzhi
The true identity of the monk. Over the years, he has practiced the "Brahma Prajna" technique alone, but deep down in his heart, his gratitude to Universal Wisdom has never diminished.
"I, no, the disciple is stupid. There has been little progress in cultivation in recent years." Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head, not daring to meet Tian Buyi's gaze, and said slowly and thoughtfully: "A few days ago, the disciple suddenly discovered
It can drive some things, but the disciple himself cannot believe it, so he dare not report it to his master and his wife. Unexpectedly..."
Tian Buyi sneered and said: "I didn't expect that this time I would become a blockbuster and steal the show!"
Zhang Xiaofan quickly said: "No, no, Master..."
How could Tian Buyi be so easy to deceive? He said coldly: "You said you can drive things, but this requires at least the fourth level of Jade Clear Realm cultivation. I asked Daren, and he only taught you the second level.
"The magic formula, then can you tell me, this ignorant and ignorant master, how did you bypass the third level of cultivation to the fourth level?" At the end of his words, his voice was extremely cold, with a hint of emotion.
The evil spirit made everyone change their expressions.
Zhang Xiaofan stopped talking, and there was silence in the room.
After a long time, when Tian Buyi's face became more and more ugly, and everyone's worries became more and more serious, Zhang Xiaofan got up silently. It could be seen that he was still very tired, but he still struggled to get out of bed, and then stood up.
In front of everyone, under Tian Linger's shining eyes, he knelt down in front of Tian Buyi.
Tian Buyi was not moved at all and said coldly: "How?"
Zhang Xiaofan buried his head deeply, his eyes only looking at the small piece of land under him, not even a glance to the side, and whispered: "Master, please punish me."
Everyone was shocked, and Tian Buyi was even more angry. Suru frowned and said, "Xiao Fan, if you have any concerns, just tell your master directly. Why do you do this?"
Zhang Xiaofan knelt on the ground, motionless.
Tian Buyi sneered twice, then laughed angrily and said: "Okay, okay, okay! You are a tough guy, and I have also accepted a good disciple!"
Zhang Xiaofan's body trembled while he was lying on the ground. He didn't know what his mood and expression were at the moment. There seemed to be someone in this room, and his breathing suddenly became rapid. He could only hear him say in a low voice: "Everything belongs to the disciples."
Wrong, please master, please punish me!"
Tian Buyi suddenly stood up, and with a crunch, the chair under him fell to pieces and fell to the ground. Everyone changed their colors, and they saw him angrily yelling at Zhang Xiaofan: "It's all your fault, hehe, do you know how to steal from me?"
Art is a taboo in my Qingyun sect. It can range from facing the wall for decades to being abandoned and expelled from Qingyun."
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly raised his head and looked at Tian Buyi. He saw that the master's face was full of anger, but there was no exaggerated expression at all, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
"How could it be like this?" He thought painfully in his heart. That was not what Tian Linger said when she taught him the secret technique.
But, in the end, he still didn't look back.
There was a deathly silence in this room, no one said a word.
There was only a high or low sound of anxious breathing.
In this silence, a person's heart froze so quietly and coldly, as if looking at himself madly but so rationally, Zhang Xiaofan closed his eyes and lowered his head again, like a desperate man.
People slowly took the last step:
"Disciple is unworthy, please master punish me!"
"Bang!" An overwhelming force came in. Zhang Xiaofan flew backwards, hit the wall hard, and fell to the ground with flying dust. He spat out a mouthful of blood with a loud sound.
Everyone changed their expressions, led by Song Daren and forced himself to kneel down. The other disciples all knelt down in front of Tian Buyi and said: "Master, please spare my junior brother!"
Song Daren added: "Master, I, ahem, I, it was my incompetence in teaching that made my junior brother do something wrong. The fault is all mine, please spare my junior brother."
While everyone was pleading, Tian Linger stood motionless, staring blankly at Zhang Xiaofan, who was lying in the corner of the wall struggling in pain, with blood on his clothes. His face was pale without a trace of blood.
Tian Buyi looked at the disciples kneeling at his feet, and then stared at Zhang Xiaofan who was still in the corner. His face was full of anger, and he snorted angrily, flinging his sleeves and robes and walked out. Suru glanced at everyone, shook her head and sighed softly.
With a sound, he said to Song Daren and others: "You all get up." After saying that, he looked at Zhang Xiaofan in the distance, and said to Song Daren, who was helped by He Dazhi to stand up: "You go take care of some Xiaofan, I'm going to go
Look at your master."
Song Daren and others quickly said: "Yes, Master."
Suru sighed again and walked out.
In the room, everyone looked at each other. After a while, Tian Linger slowly walked over, turned her back to everyone, and helped Zhang Xiaofan up. Zhang Xiaofan had blood flowing out of his mouth, and he actually smiled while lying in her arms.
At that moment, a cool teardrop quietly fell into the pool of blood on his face.
※※※
It was already late at night, and above the sea of clouds, the clouds were still floating, as beautiful as a fairyland.
Tian Buyi stood in the square, looking up at the sky.
But I saw countless stars in the night sky, and the moon was as cold as frost.
Behind him, there were familiar footsteps. Suru walked to his side, looked up at the starry sky, and smiled lightly: "Are you feeling better?"
Tian Buyi snorted but said nothing.
Suru smiled slightly and said: "You have deceived Daren, Ling'er and the others, but you just can't hide it from me. The power of a flick of your sleeves and robes is probably to deliberately shake Xiaofan's chest meridians, so that siltation accumulates on his chest.
The congestion is forced out of the body, right?"
Tian Buyi looked at the night sky and said nothing.
Suru shook her head and said: "You are hundreds of years old, why are you still so obsessed with face?"
Tian Buyi turned around, glared at his wife, and said, "It's not like you haven't seen that brat. He's like, 'Master, please punish me!'" He imitated Zhang Xiaofan and said angrily.
: "It's obvious that he was wrong, but he actually said it in a very aggrieved manner, but it was me, the master, who bullied him and forced him? It's really unreasonable!"
Suru turned back and glanced in the direction of the accommodation and said, "I don't believe you didn't see it?"
Tian Buyi said: "What?"
Suru said lightly: "Ling'er looks very strange, don't you think?"
Tian Buyi snorted.
Suru smiled and said, "You can see it. Xiaofan has stayed at Dazhu Peak for the past five years and has never gone out. It can only be reported to him privately by our disciples. Ling'er has always been on good terms with Xiaofan and relies on us on weekdays.
Doting on her and giving Xiaofan the third-level secret secretly is something she would dare to do. And if she didn't have some evil intentions in her heart, with her usual personality of having to stand up for Xiaofan in everything, she didn't say a word this time.
?If not her, who else?"
Tian Buyi seemed to have already thought of his wife's words, and there was no look of surprise on his face, but he was still angry, and he said unwillingly: "Even if it is Ling'er's fault, look at this kid Zhang Xiaofan, in front of so many disciples,
You're damned if you insist on talking back to me and won't even say anything!"
Suru laughed, patted her husband's shoulder lightly, and said angrily: "Aren't you also a stubborn person who refuses to admit your mistakes? You even blame other people's children. Besides, Xiaofan didn't do this just for Ling'er. This job
It’s so rare to find such kindness!”
Tian Buyi rolled his eyes strangely, but said nothing more.
Suru glanced at him and said: "Then what are you going to do when you go back? The crime of cheating on your master and stealing art is a big or small crime. How about we not go too far for Ling'er's sake and let Xiaofan go back tomorrow?
Dazhu Peak can only be built on the back mountain facing the wall for thirty or fifty years."
Tian Buyi was startled for a moment, snorted, and then said: "It took a lot of effort for one of my disciples to emerge, a... geek. Wouldn't it be an advantage for Cangsong, Shang Zhengliang and the others to let him face the wall?"
Don’t even think about it. No matter whether he lives or dies tomorrow, we will still let him continue to participate in the competition.”
Su Ru smiled charmingly, walked up to her husband, took her husband's hand, and said with a smile: "I know you are a hard-tongued person but a soft-hearted person."
Tian Buyi's fat face actually turned red, but he immediately returned to normal. He glanced around and said, "We are an old couple now. You are not afraid of other people's jokes."
Suru glanced sideways at him, her eyes full of smiles, and said: "Why, are you afraid now that you have become the leader? Three hundred years ago, it was also on this Tongtian Peak that during the Seven Meridians Competition,
You sneaked into my residence late at night and called me here. At that time, my master, Master Zhenwu, and my senior sister, Shuiyue, were both nearby, and I didn’t see you being afraid at all!"
Tian Buyi chuckled and said with a smile: "Your master Zhenyi must have been more than six hundred years old at that time. He has long been old and confused. I am not afraid of it. As for your ferocious senior sister, I have long disliked her."
, I just want to be alone for the rest of my life, but I still want to hold you back. It’s too late for me to hate her, so how can I be afraid of her!”
Suru glared at him and said, "You are not allowed to speak ill of my mentor and senior sister! They both have deep affection for me."
Tian Buyi shrugged his shoulders and said nothing. Looking under the moonlight, his short and fat body trembled, which was quite funny. There was actually a bit of smugness in his expression. No matter how nice they are to you,
You don't mean to marry me yet.
Suru saw it in her eyes and couldn't help but said angrily: "You are so dishonest."
Tian Buyi was in a good mood. He reached out and took his wife's smooth, silky hand, and walked slowly among the sea of clouds.
...
"By the way, I forgot something important."
"What's wrong?"
"That brat used a fire stick as a magic weapon and actually used it very well. He was so angry that he forgot to take a look at it."
"Xiao Fan still practices privately after all. He doesn't know much about the manipulation and use of magic weapons. Do you think it would be good to find some time to give him some guidance?"
"Hum, let's see and talk about it. Last night, the head brother called some of our leaders and said that after communicating with the spirit master through psychic techniques, he found that the spirit master seemed to be acting because he sensed the evil spirit of a certain evil thing.
action, but then couldn’t find it again.”
"What should we do?"
"What else can I do? If I can't find it, I can't find it. The Spirit Master has lived for at least six thousand years. Your master became confused when he was six hundred years old. It's not surprising that the Spirit Master is a little confused now!"
