Sealing Sword

When Hengyuan came here, it was just after midnight, and the night was quiet.

This place is not far from Du'e Cave. There are cliffs to block the wind, dense forests to hide, and the surrounding vegetation, soil and rocks are all hidden in the night, just like a few blobs of thick ink smeared on black paper.

Hengyuan lit the fire folder and stood still in front of a big bluestone. The light of the fire reflected the shadows around him, mixed with a slight "rustling" sound, which seemed to be just the movement of the wind blowing the grass and trees, and there was no living thing.

He was a little anxious, and walked back and forth twice around the big blue stone, the torch in his hand was about to go out, only to see a shadow suddenly appear on the stone.

Heng Yuan looked up, and Bu Xueyao was sitting on a branch above his head.The branch was as thin as a daughter's onion root and jade finger, such a grown man sat on it without even shaking, seeing Heng Yuan looking up, Bu Xueyao narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled at him.

Heng Yuan noticed at a glance that his eyes fell behind him, and his spine suddenly shivered.

There was a crisp jingle sound, and Zhao Bingye sat on the big bluestone, the mountain wind blew beads on her hairpin, and the golden bell on the knife handle rang softly.

Her voice was hoarse and shrill: "Where is my son?"

Heng Yuan looked back at her and felt his scalp tingling, but he didn't dare to lie to her. He clasped his hands together and said, "This time the crowd is so excited, the body of the right protector is tied up in the martial arts arena for public display, and the martial arts conference will start at noon tomorrow."

Bu Xueyao secretly thought it was not good.

Zhao Qing was the bait released by the Burying Soul Palace, and designed the martial arts conference to attract heroes into the urn. His life and death were irrelevant to this plan, but he had to worry about Zhao Bingmo, a crazy woman.

If Zhao Qing is alive, she is tied by the reins; if Zhao Qing is dead, this crazy woman will choose someone to kill.

Just now when she heard the news of her death in the Du'e Cave, Zhao Bing'e had gone mad for a while, but now Heng Yuan is telling the story of exposing the dead body to the public, this woman's madness may not be able to be suppressed.

Sure enough, as soon as Heng Yuan finished speaking, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes. Before he could react, someone pulled his back collar.

The next moment, there was a slight stabbing pain in Hengyuan's throat. It was a shallow cut in the flesh, and a few drops of blood seeped out from the wound as thin as a hair, as if a red thread had been wrapped around him.

The crescent scimitar was only an inch away from his neck, Zhao Bing'e looked sinister, and said coldly: "Since my son is dead, why do you live? You wastes who are in it but didn't protect him well, you have to be buried with him. "

Hengyuan's scalp was numb, and Zhao Bingye's murderous aura pierced through his bones, making him chill from the inside out, but Bu Xueyao let go of his collar, and said, "Guardian Zuo, you are dead!" The child's pain is like a knife piercing my heart, but now we should focus on the overall situation."

Zhao Bing'e sneered and chewed at the corner of his mouth, and didn't say much when he heard the words, the blade turned like a moon, this time it went straight to Bu Xueyao.

The scimitar was like a life-threatening hook, it touched Bu Xueyao's neck in a blink of an eye, and a little more force could hook his entire throat out.

But Bu Xueyao didn't retreat, nor did he block.

A hand stretched out from the darkness behind him, grasping the blade of the scimitar before it bleeds, seemingly soft but steady as a rock.

Zhao Bingye turned her wrist, and the scimitar rubbed against the mithril fingertip on that hand, making an ear-piercing sound, and the next moment she withdrew the knife back to its sheath, with anger still in her eyes.

Only then did Bu Xueyao take two steps to the side, and bowed to salute: "Meet the Palace Master."

Wearing a snow-colored smock over a plain white robe, Helian Yu pulled down his hood, revealing his black hair and silver mask. Hearing this, he didn't look at Bu Xueyao and Heng Yuan, but only looked at Zhao Bing Moth said: "Sister, why are you so angry?"

Zhao Bing'e is the younger sister of He Lianchen, the former palace lord, and He Lianyu is two or three years older. He Lianyu and Helian Chen are also sworn brothers. named Jinlan.

After Helian Shen's death, Helian Yu came to power, gaining more and more prestige. To Zhao Bing'e, she was naturally called "Dharma Protector". Give some thin noodles for love, don't go too far.

Zhao Bing'e understood it, but didn't buy it, immediately sneered, and spoke aggressively: "Zhao Bing'e can't bear the palace master's 'sister', just now I beat the dog and didn't look at the master's face, I was wrong. "

He Lianyu said: "My sister is not so much about killing them, you might as well ask me for an explanation. After all, I set up this situation at the beginning, and I personally ensured that Chengyou will be safe and sound. Now that he is dead, If you want to question the crime, you should also ask me."

Chengyou is Zhao Qing's character, which means "Chengtian's Blessing". It was originally Zhao Bing'e's congratulatory speech engraved on the long name lock shortly after his birth, and then he directly made his character.

Zhao Bingmo's eyebrows trembled slightly, and his eyes were scarlet.

Hengyuan didn't dare to show his air, but Bu Xueyao caught Helian Yu's eyes, and then said: "Guard Zuo is heartbroken about the loss of his son, and we all feel the same, but some of the details have to be explained, so as not to teach others to worry about it in vain." guilt."

After a pause, he said: "This bait-throwing scheme was proposed by the palace master. After the right guardian entered the Wuxiang Temple, the servant's family also sent a 'Sky Spider' to guard secretly. These days are all safe and unexpected. It must have been a disaster last night..."

His ending sounded long, Hengyuan understood, and told the details of the Futu Pagoda incident last night one by one, and said: "Speaking of this matter, Fayuan and others acted on their own initiative, secretly increasing the dose of medicine ordered by Bu Palace Master , and tried to open the lock by himself, but bumped into the right guard who was unconscious and the Taishang Palace's night detectives, and that was the catastrophe."

He Lianyu didn't say a word, Zhao Bing'e's eyes were terrified.

Bu Xueyao rolled her eyes, and said softly: "It is said that 'people are not as good as heaven', not to mention that there are indeed side issues in this matter, how can the Zuo protector blame it all on the Palace Master?"

"You mean, I'm the one to blame for my son's death." Zhao Bing's fingers flexed slightly, "That's right, I sent someone to set a fire in the Buddhist scriptures building to lure them over, and it was I who sent people to the Buddha Pagoda Save my son, now that my son is dead and things are revealed, I should take responsibility for myself."

He Lianyu said: "Sister, why do you have to be angry?"

Seeing He Lianyu from a distance, Bu Xue was like seeing a great backer, and she was no longer humble to Zhao Bing'e, her words contained a poisonous front: "The left protector is eager to love his son, but the palace master has already I said that everyone should not act rashly, but you failed to send people to rob the prisoners, and you burned the Sutra Pavilion to expose the clues, this is a public failure..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped heavily on the face.

Although Zhao Bingmo's attack was quick, it was easy for Bu Xueyao to hide, but as soon as he moved, Helian Yu's palm was already pressed on his shoulder, and he couldn't move, so he could only bear the blow, with a slap on his face. Burning pain.

Bu Xueyao was so angry that his eyes almost burst out with hatred, but he lowered his eyebrows and hid his anger, but he understood Helian Yu's plan in his heart.

This crazy woman is Helian Shen's sister, and the Buried Soul Palace has only been passed down for two generations, and most of the direct power in the palace is still in her hands. Shen turned against each other, and the civil strife that almost washed the main peak with blood may be unknown.

Zhao Bingmo is selfish and has always spoken and acted according to her own happiness and anger. Except for Zhao Qing, no one can make her restrain herself. However, this woman is strong in martial arts and insidious. However, the "magic scorpion" in the Five Poison Guards is her personal guard, and all kinds of forces are intertwined, even Helian Yu usually has to give her face.

That old bastard Wei Changyun once said that if Zhao Bing'e hadn't been a young woman, if she hadn't been imprisoned because of Zhao Qing, few people in the world would dare to stand in her way.

He Lianyu has begun to gather power over the years, and Zhao Bing'e only has her crazy son in her heart, letting go of power little by little to avoid suspicion, but now Zhao Qing is dead.

It was an accident that Zhao Qing made bait.A month ago when Beijiang intercepted and killed Nanru, He Lianyu went there in person. Zhao Bing'e and Wei Changyun were busy managing the inside and outside, so they naturally ignored him. As a result, Duanqing brought Li Feng to the door, and Mi Zongling was confused. It became a pot of porridge, and a few victims ran away in the dungeon, so Zhao Qing went to hunt them down.

After this chase, he chased out of Mizong Ridge.After Zhao Qing murdered, his sanity and strength were exhausted, he bumped into a group of Wuxiang Temple monks who had traveled here, and was captured back just like that.

As soon as the news came back to Mizong Ridge, many people secretly ridiculed Zhao Bingye as a joke, but He Lianyu suppressed Zhao Bingye's plan to lead someone to save his son, and set up a bait-throwing lure based on this matter. The enemy, please enter the urn.

He Lianyu was so tough, Zhao Bing'e couldn't fight him head on, even though he left in a huff, he still complied with the plan, he just asked He Lianyu to personally protect Zhao Qing's safety, but he didn't expect that something bad would happen now.

Once Zhao Qing dies, Zhao Bing'e will be a disaster, but He Lianyu has no plans to completely break up with her, or... sure.

"Sister acted on her own this time, she still doesn't believe me." He Lianyu sighed softly.

"I believe your promise, but I can't trust others." Zhao Bing'e glanced at Bu Xueyao, and said coldly, "This time the 'Magic Scorpion' is entrenched on the mountain road, and everything in the temple is handed over to the 'Sky Spider', but After all, they are all eavesdroppers, and swords have no eyes, who can guarantee that they will be safe at this time? My son should be protected by me, and I don't believe anyone else."

Helian Yu was silent for a moment, and said: "In the final analysis, it is my fault."

"The matter has come to this point, no matter who is right or wrong, I can't get my son's life back." Zhao Bingmo's face was as cold as a knife, "However, I want to know who broke the robbery this time. Who died at the hands of?"

Hengyuan opened his mouth at the right time and said: "Xuan Su and Ye Fusheng of the Supreme Palace, the former is the sixth head of the Supreme Palace, and was unknown in the Jianghu before; , I only know that they made their debut at the Guyang City Seizing the Front... As for why they went to the Buddha Pagoda late at night to smash this matter, it still needs to be investigated."

Helian Yu's eyes sank slightly, and the corner of his mouth under the mask slightly bent into a hook.

Zhao Bing'e smiled with killing intent: "Okay, very good, I want both heads."

Bu Xueyao had just been slapped, but now he could laugh again and said, "The two juniors are out of the question, but there is one more thing that is imminent... This time, the fire of the Buddhist scriptures building, I saw the old bald donkey and Duan Heng." The old Taoist died inside, Se Ruo's soft feet were also banned, and the mob is so excited, clamoring for Se Kong to come forward to preside over the overall situation, what should we do?"

Zhao Bing'e had just lost his temper, and didn't remember to interrupt right now. He Lianyu's eyes swept over Heng Yuan, and his tone was playful: "What they want is not Sekong, but 'Xifu'. In this case, we will give a That's it."

The crowd is excited, but there is no leader. What they need most at this time is the highly respected "Xi Buddha" to stabilize the overall situation and guide the direction.

Heng Yuan's heart was shaken, and he heard He Lianyu say to Bu Xueyao: "Xiao Yangu will also enter the mountain at this time, you take someone to meet her and let her go to Wuxiang Temple."

Xiao Yangu, the master of the White Tiger Palace, is amazing in martial arts with his disguise. It is no problem to dress up as an old monk, not to mention Heng Yuan's cover. No one will doubt this good show in a short time.

But Bu Xueyao's heart was chilling.

He Lianyu had just arrived at Wenchan Mountain, but he knew the information about this place like the back of his hand, without any delay, which meant that prying eyes were indispensable around them.What's more, in the face of this difficult situation, it stands to reason that we should first strive for cooperation with Sekong, even if coercion and temptation are not uncommon, but Helian Yulian made the decision to pretend to be a replacement before even seeing him. , Thinking about it, Sekong has no way out in his heart.

Helian Yu urgently needs to use him to practice martial arts, but although he is imminent, he is not in a hurry, does not relax his power at all, and does not give any trust to his subordinates.

Then would he know that he wanted to use Sekong's skill to suppress the "Hate Liberation Gu"?

Bu Xueyao's spine felt cold, and he glanced subconsciously, Zhao Bing'e was looking at him, his eyes were full of sarcasm.

He didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that he would reveal more, he took Heng Yuan away in a hurry.When Bu Xueyao's figure completely disappeared, Helian Yu sighed.

Zhao Bing'e said: "Why sigh?"

"The dog that has been raised for so long is still unfaithful, shouldn't I sigh?" He Lianyu shook his head, looking distressed, "Sister, only you and Chang Yun are reliable by my side. gone."

"Oh, you can't talk like that." Zhao Bing'e's mouth curled up, "If you talk like this, you won't be afraid of Mu's cold heart? If there is anyone in the world who loves you the most, I think it is him."

When she mentioned the word "Mu", He Lianyu's fingers clenched into fists, then loosened, and said with a smile: "Sister still remembers these old sesame seeds and rotten millet."

"When I see you dressed like this, I will inevitably think of him. After all, that person is also..." Zhao Bing'e sneered again, "It's a pity that you can trust him, but he mistrusted you."

Mithril fingertips rubbed the chin of the mask, and Helian Yu sighed softly: "In this world, trust and betrayal go hand in hand. He trusts me, and I blame him. It's a matter of course."

Zhao Bing'e smiled inexplicably, turned around and said: "The old bald donkey of Sekong was sealed by Bu Xueyao with needles and medicine, and he is in Du'e Cave... I will go to inspect the sentry post, you can do it yourself."

He Lianyu silently nodded, and the two ran in opposite directions, gradually drifting away.
