I lost my brother

Zhu Lin stayed with Sui Jian in the ancestral hall for a while and then left. He said he had other things to do.

Sui Jian knelt until the sun was high above her head at noon before she heard the dull sound of the ancestral hall gate being pushed open.

Guan Yuxiao's voice seemed a little erratic in the empty room, and he said, "Brother, Master is calling you."

Sui Jian didn't sleep all night, and responded a little listlessly: "Come here."

It took him a while to stand up straight, and when he was again exposed to the warm sunshine, it was only one night, but it seemed like a lifetime away.

The two walked towards Qingfengju in silence, and after a while, Guan Yuxiao said abruptly: "Brother, master said that the person from the Demon Cult ran away by himself, but I haven't seen him since I came back from Jingchang."

Sui Jian said calmly: "I let him go, this matter has nothing to do with him."

"It doesn't matter?" Guan Yuxiao stopped, "It doesn't matter to him, if it wasn't for him, you wouldn't have been expelled from the sect, and the master wouldn't have almost turned against the master because of you!"

"Turn against each other?" Sui simply looked into Guan Yuxiao's eyes, "Speak clearly."

Guan Yuxiao's eyes moved down, with a straight face, "The matter has come to this point, there is nothing to say, the fact is that Master is in an embarrassing situation for you, and the root cause of all this is your wife's benevolence letting go I killed that Demon Cult demon."

"Yu Xiao," Sui Jian said with a frown, feeling harsh when he heard his words, "Don't talk about the demon cultist. He is also a victim in this incident. You should understand that the real problem is Baiyu Villa and Wulin League."

"I figured it out? Ha, you are the only one who really doesn't know anything. Senior brother is really impressive. Do you want to become an enemy of the Wulin League because of a demon cultist?"

Guan Yuxiao sneered, "Brother has always been like this, relying on Master's favor to act recklessly and ignore everything, even if you stabbed such a big Lou this time, Master will still protect you tightly. Do you know that the teaching of the Presbyterian School Someone searched for you overnight, but who would have expected that Master would hide you in the ancestral hall, only here, others are not allowed to disturb Master Qingjing at will and dare not enter casually."

Guan Yuxiao took a deep breath and said dejectedly, "Senior brother, sometimes I really envy you."

Sui Jian had mixed feelings in her heart after hearing his almost sarcastic words.It turned out that in Guan Yuxiao's mind, he was just an enviable apprentice who was spoiled by the master. No matter how much he did and how well he did, some people didn't see it, but they didn't care at all.

Fortunately, he still wanted to set a good example for his younger brother.

For so many years, he asked himself that he had never done anything to insult his master by relying on his status as a direct disciple of the elder of the Wuwang sect, and he often saw injustice when he was practicing outside, and he took it as his duty to eliminate violence and bring peace to the good.

He engraved the teacher's training in his bones, and introspected himself every day. Although he was not trembling, he was cautious enough.

He thought he was restraining himself all the time, but in the eyes of others, he was all self-indulgent.

The two returned to Qingfengju silently all the way, and happened to see Uncle Pang coming out.They saluted Pang Ye as a disciple, and Pang Ye greeted them with an unnatural expression and left.

Entering the courtyard, Xie Hanzi was sitting on the stone bench, he seemed to be in a good mood, and beckoned to them, "Come here." Naturally, it was as if nothing had happened, and they could still practice martial arts and cook tea in Qingfengju at will , play chess, chat.

The two walked over, Xie Hanzi took out two things and handed them to them respectively, and said with emotion: "You have all grown up, this is a gift from the teacher."

Sui Jian felt that this reason was very inexplicable, like the master's nonsense.

He opened his gift, which was a long strip wrapped in a dark blue cloth.He nervously opened a corner, which seemed a little familiar, without any hesitation, he directly tore open the random package, revealing the whole body of the gift.

"This is...Kunpeng?"

"It's Xifeng!"

Xie Hanzi looked at their surprised or surprise faces with a smile. His so-called gift was the two swords that he had followed him for many years, Kunpeng Sword and Xifeng Sword.

Sui Jian didn't know what he meant, she felt more and more uneasy, and said: "Master gave us the sword, what do we use for ourselves?"

Xie Hanzi said casually: "It doesn't matter whether you have a sword or not when you reach the master's level. Sometimes you don't need to use a weapon to fight an enemy, you have to use it here." He pointed to his temple.

Sui Jian still wanted to talk, but Xie Hanzi interrupted him gently: "Master is tired, you can go to practice or play on your own, don't want to come out of Wuwangzong recently."

Sui Jian silently choked back what she was about to say, Xie Hanzi's words were ostensibly aimed at the two of them, but in fact they were only aimed at him.

Although he didn't understand the purpose of the master gifting the sword at this time, it would be useless to make random guesses.Since the master couldn't ask anything here, he might as well go through other channels—for example, find Tang Yishu.

Looking back to Zhu Lin, Zhu Lin did not leave Wuwangzong after leaving the ancestral hall. He went straight to the woods on the mountain behind Wuwangzong to find the "ice stone" he used to practice.

He thought well at the beginning, Sui Jian was indeed an important help for him to break through the ninth level of Wuxiang Gong, although he still couldn't figure out what he thought of Sui Jian now, in the ancestral hall, he suddenly had a strong premonition— ——My skill is about to break through the bottleneck and improve to the next level.

So he came here.

Master Zhu Linyi boldly sat on the ice stone and began to meditate and adjust his breath. He didn't even need others to protect him. He bet that no one from Wuwangzong, which had become a mess, would come here for the time being.

It wasn't until the next night that a mighty and strong internal energy suddenly came out from the back mountain, animals in the forest fled in all directions, and birds soared into the sky—he finally broke through.

Zhu Lin slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a foul breath, and clearly felt that every move of the entire back mountain was under his control.

Plants, trees, sand and stones, everything is invisible and still has form;

It turned out that this was the realm of the ninth floor, and he had finally reached a position higher than his father's back then.

However, Zhu Lin touched the position of his heart with his right hand, and there seemed to be something missing there, and it seemed very empty, which was the familiar feeling after every breakthrough.

Zhu Lin raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Wuwangzong expressionlessly.

Xie Hanzi's two sabers are both divine weapons, among which Xifeng sword ranks fourth on the Jianghu weapons list, and Kunpeng sword ranks seventh.

Guan Yuxiao was very happy, in his heart he was finally able to convince himself that his status in the heart of the master surpassed that of Sui Jian, even though it was only by virtue of the ranking of a sword.

Sui Jian didn't care about these, he valued the meaning of Kunpeng Sword more.

Kunpeng was the sword of the old man who was evergreen, and later gave it to Xie Hanzi.

Xie Hanzi's first sword was Xifeng, but since he got the Kunpeng, Xifeng is rarely used.When he met his master for the first time, the other thing on his waist was the Kunpeng. He had a deep impression of this silver-white sword—his grandfather's tomb was carved by Xie Hanzi with two or three strokes of the Kunpeng.

So even though he didn't understand the master's intention, he still cherished the Kunpeng sword.

In addition, the "Kunpeng swordsmanship" he practiced was taken from the meaning of "there is a fish in the north, its name is Kun, and the size of the Kun is unknown. It turns into a bird and is named Peng, the back of the Peng, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is."

The essence of Kunpeng swordsmanship is "vigorous, free and unrestrained".Although Tanying is also a famous sword, its hostility is slightly heavier, and it is not as good as Kunpeng Sword and Kunpeng Swordsmanship, which complement each other more perfectly.

Later that day, Sui Jian went to Tang Yishu, hoping that his brother "Bao inquiring" could give him some clues.Unfortunately, his brother Tang, who knew exactly how many pairs of bowls and chopsticks were in the back kitchen, had no way of knowing what Xie Hanzi was thinking.

Tang Yishu comforted him and said: "Uncle Xie is probably rewarding you for winning the championship in this martial arts competition, I hope you will continue to work hard."

Sui Jian smiled wryly, the Wulin League's current virtues, how he "continues to work hard", the Wulin Conference has nothing to do with him from now on.

He suddenly remembered that Uncle Pang's face was not right when he returned to Qingfengju, he grasped all possibilities, bid farewell to Tang Yishu, and went to Baicaoju.

In the courtyard of Baicaoju, Zhou Yuanzheng was tending those herbs, when he caught a glimpse of him coming, he didn't even say hello indifferently.

Sui Jian touched his nose, knowing that Zhou Yuanzheng was angry with him again, but Zhou Yuanzheng didn't turn around and leave immediately when he saw him, which meant that he was not too angry.

He cheekily leaned forward and said flatteringly, "Senior Brother Zhou."

Zhou Yuanzheng gave a faint "hmm" as a response.

Sui Jian walked up to him and asked with a smile: "Is Uncle Pang there? I have some questions to ask him, old man."

Zhou Yuanzheng said without raising his head, "In the pharmacy."

Sui Jian stood still, Zhou Yuanzheng finally glanced at him impatiently and said: "You are blocking my sight."

Sui Jian followed suit and changed positions.

Zhou Yuanzheng: "..."

Sui Jian was like this every time, no matter if she was injured or made a mistake, she didn't speak, just stood in the way and waited for him to open his mouth to push him away, sure that she couldn't beat him, so it was better not to get angry with him—— Anyway, it will eventually lose to someone's thick skin.

Zhou Yuanzheng put down the medicinal materials in his hand and walked to his room. When he came out, he held a blue medicine bottle in his hand and said, "Tang Yishu wrote to me that he wanted the medicine powder for treating trauma, but it was actually what you wanted, right? Take it, and don't get in the way anymore." my eyes."

Sui Jianhan accepted it with a smile, put it in her pocket, and said in a nonchalant way: "I know Senior Brother Zhou can hold a boat in his belly, he has a big heart, and his heart is bigger than the sky!"

Zhou Yuanzheng frowned: "Get rolling."

Sui Jian left contentedly.

He walked into the pharmacy of Baicaoju. The pharmacy is the largest room in the whole Baicaoju. It looks like a small pharmacy. The medicinal materials are neatly stacked in the cabinets against the wall, and there are all kinds of pharmaceutical equipment outside.

Not only are medicines for curing diseases and saving lives, Pang Ye also studies various poisons, but they are not used on humans.

Sui Jian searched for Pang Ye's figure, and heard a loud "bang" from the back room of the pharmacy, and then Pang Ye came out of the back room with a disheveled face.

Pang Ye seemed to be taken aback when he saw him, and quickly turned his back to wipe his face, trying to save his little image in the younger generation's heart.

Sui Jian was puzzled and asked, "What is Uncle Master doing? Researching firearms?"

Pang Ye smiled awkwardly: "It's just for fun, it's just for fun." He didn't seem to want to say more, so he changed the subject and said, "Are you here to find a good boy?"

Sui Jian said seriously: "I'm here to look for my uncle, my teacher is a bit abnormal these days, if my uncle knows the reason, please let me know."

Pang Ye rolled his eyes left and right, and said, "Actually, I'm really researching firearms. Would you like to take a look?"

Sui Jian: "..." Uncle, can you be tougher?

He stepped forward and knelt on his knees and said: "Master will definitely not tell me, I can only come to ask my uncle. If my uncle is really in trouble, you don't have to tell me everything, just tell me what I can help, Although Sui Jian is not talented, she still wants to do something for her master."

Pang Ye hurriedly helped him up and said, "What are you doing? Alas, the man has gold under his knees. He kneels down and kneels down to master. How can I stand your worship?"

Sui Jian couldn't get up and looked at him stubbornly.

Pang Ye sighed, "Forget it, you master, I can't control it, maybe you can really help."

Sui Jian looked happy, and followed Pang Ye's strength to stand up.

Pang Ye sat on a chair and said very tiredly: "This matter has to start more than 20 years ago."

"The Candle Dragon Sect was not a demon sect at the beginning. Its behavior was relatively unrestrained, but it was not evil. At best, it could be called a Jianghu sect that was both righteous and evil. At that time, the leader was Wan Zhengcong, who was young and handsome. It is said Later, he pursued fiercely and married Zhu Jinyun, the most beautiful woman in Jianghu, and they finally got married, which can be called a good story in Jianghu."

"I don't know why later, Wan Zhengcong's temperament suddenly changed, and he began to lead the Candle Dragon Cult to do harm to the world, and he would go to the nest to see who disliked him. Many sects that offended him were wiped out in one fell swoop, and sometimes it was just because they were behind the scenes. Talking about the behavior style of the Candle Dragon Cult, they were massacred, making the rivers and lakes smoky and the people living in dire straits, talking about the Candle Dragon Cult, everyone’s expression turned pale. This is the time when Master took us to encircle and suppress the Candle Dragon Cult with a hundred famous families. of."

"Your master was young and vigorous at that time. The king of heaven and Lao Tzu were the first and the second. He rushed directly to the place where the enemy was the most and took the Fengfeng to kill him. But the hero can't stand the crowd. No matter how powerful he is, there are so many Candle Dragon Cults. People are not vegetarians, and people ran to besiege him, and he gradually couldn't take it anymore."

Pang Ye's tone suddenly became very serious, "At that time, Master, an old man, was plotted to die at the hands of Wan Zhengcong. He was so jealous at the time that he insisted on asking me for a medicine that can quickly increase internal strength in a short time. That medicine is something I usually do and play with, and I have never used it for anyone, so he ate the whole bottle anyway, a bottle!"

Pang Ye stretched out a finger and shook it, which almost stopped Sui Jian's heart.

"What good does that kind of medicine do to the body? Relying on his internal strength that has been rapidly raised to the extreme, he fought Wan Zhengcong in the dark, and finally pierced Wan Zhengcong with a sword. Later, he was out of control and almost lost his temper. Yes. Our brothers and sisters worked together to knock him unconscious, otherwise no one who was present that day would have survived."

Pang Ye looked at the Kunpeng sword on Sui Jian's waist, and thought: "Did your master give this to you? We found out that he wrote us a letter when we returned to the Wuwangzong to sort out the master's relics. Everything behind the Huangzong is clearly arranged, including who will be the head and who will be the teaching elder. The only thing left to your master is this Kunpeng sword, but he has been honest for many years because of this sword."

After hearing his words, Sui Jian immediately felt that the sword in her hand became extremely hot - the passing of this sword brought the chilling of thousands of corpses and bloody storms, which was really too sad.

Pang Ye went on to say: "Your master's body has not been as good as before. A few years ago, he was okay. Now it is not an exaggeration to say that he is at the end of his strength. How many times have I told him, don't use your internal strength rashly. Don't use your internal strength rashly, can he compare with his current appearance?"

Sui Jian's nails got stuck in his palm. Although Pang Ye didn't mean to blame in his words, he couldn't help but blame himself.

Sui Jian said in a hoarse voice: "Master, what can I do..."

Pang Ye raised his eyelids and glanced at him, saying, "The medicine I asked you to go to the Witch Doctor Valley last time was actually used to treat your master's internal injuries, but now it has little effect."

"However, if you can get the legendary healing medicine 'Qing Yi Dan', maybe you have a try."

Sui Jian hurriedly asked: "Then where is 'Qing Yi Dan' now?"

"Snowy Mountain Villa."
