Embrace the blade

Jiuyuan Mountain, Prajna Teaching.

I remember that Pei Zhao, the young master of the Prajna Sect, was practicing in seclusion. The square-faced man waited outside the courtyard for a while, when he saw a familiar maid approaching, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and handed over a letter: "Miss, please tell me this Pass the letter to the young master, saying it is from Jiang Wanli, it is very urgent!"

The maid didn't reach out to pick it up, she said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that you came. The young master has just left the customs and is resting in the room at the moment, come with me."

Jiang Wanli was overjoyed, and followed into the room, and sure enough, he saw Pei Zhao sitting on the chair, with a look of irritability on his brows.He bowed and asked tentatively: "Young master, you left the customs early, you must have comprehended the mind and broke through the bottleneck?"

"You are blind, how can you tell that I have broken through the bottleneck?" Pei Zhao said angrily, "That old man is holding the last volume of "Prajna Secret Law" in his hand, and he refuses to give it to me because he knows that I have participated in it. If you can't break the key to the mind, you can't go to a higher level!"

Jiang Wanli dared not speak out.

Pei Zhao glared at him: "What are you doing here?"

"The right protector has changed, so I had no choice but to come to you boldly." Jiang Wanli revealed the black line on the inside of his arm, "Look, young master, if you drag it on, the villain will die!"

"Then what valuable news do you bring?"

"Yes, it's important news!" Jiang Wanli said attentively, "It's not only about the "Secret of Longevity", but also has a lot to do with your Prajna Teaching!"

Pei Zhao became a little interested: "Tell me."

Jiang Wanli stopped talking, and glanced at the maids waiting in the room.With a wave of Pei Zhao's hand, the maidservants all backed out and closed the door.

Only then did Jiang Wanli say: "Among the tomb guards in Luoxia Valley, there is a fish that slipped through the net. His name is Jiang Li. He is now looking for the whereabouts of the sword of no doubt in the rivers and lakes. The "Longevity Jue" is very likely to be on him. What's more The important thing is that Qi Zhaoxi, the man who follows him, is exactly the Zuo Guardian taught by your Prajna!"

"The identity of Guardian Zuo is the old immortal's secret, how do you know?" Pei Zhao stared at him suspiciously.

"You were in seclusion at that time, so you didn't know anything about it." Jiang Wanli said, "The kid named Jiang Li once sneaked into the sect, probably because he thought that the sword of no doubt was here, but he was wounded by the protector of Yi Buzhi, and he fled to the foot of the mountain and returned to the sect. Falling into the cave where the Human Gu was raised, I was about to die. Unexpectedly, Zuo Hufa suddenly appeared, and ordered a patrol to search the mountains all night, and took him away. I followed behind for a while, only to find that Zuo Hufa was Qi Zhaoxi from 'Breaking Heaven's Gate with One Sword'!"

"Really?"

"You call the patrol leader and you'll find out as soon as you ask."

Pei Zhao then sent someone to summon the leader, and asked about the situation in detail, the leader answered one by one, and at the end he couldn't help but add: "It's strange to say, Zuo Hufa and that young man seem to be quite close. of."

Pei Zhao thought about it.

Jiang Wanli followed and said, "It's not just about getting close. According to my observation, Guardian Zuo has already gained Jiang Li's trust. If he doesn't move now, he probably has to wait for him to get the Sword of No Doubt. It won't be long before the "Longevity Jue" comes out." It’s really going to be in the purse of the leader.”

Hearing this, Pei Zhao snorted coldly, stood up, took out a small medicine bottle from the cabinet, threw it into Jiang Wanli's arms, and then ordered: "Please invite the hall masters to wait for me in the hall of the sect master. By the way, there is also the newly appointed right protector."

The maids were ordered to disperse.

When Yin Huaishu heard the transmission, he suddenly felt something was wrong, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward, stepped into the pavilion, passed through the main hall, and entered the inner room, only to see that all the people in the room had arrived.

The three hall masters Ning Yu, Yan Han, and He Lan stood aside. The old master struggled to prop himself up on the bed, looking at the situation in surprise and uncertainty. He started, and when he saw Yin Huaishu coming, he glanced at him lightly, turned back to the old leader and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it at that. Hand over the last volume of "Prajna Secret Technique", and I spare your life."

The old leader laughed: "Little bastard, do you dare to negotiate terms with me?"

"I gave you a chance for the sake of father-son relationship." Pei Zhao said, "After a few days I get the "Secret of Longevity", maybe I will change my mind."

"You got the "Secret of Longevity"?"

"Yes." Pei Zhao smiled, "Did Qi Zhaoxi give you any news recently?"

As soon as the name came out, the others couldn't help being stunned, and the old leader's expression changed drastically: "You...you...!"

"That's right, Guardian Zuo understands the principle of choosing a tree to live in, and you are already a rotten tree, but anyone with discernment will not choose you." As he spoke, Pei Zhao's eyes glanced aside intentionally or unintentionally , Yin Huaishu's heart was beating in shock, and cold sweat instantly covered his back.

"Qi Zhaoxi!" The old leader was furious, grabbed the quilt and coughed violently, "I knew... I knew I shouldn't let him go, I should kill him then!"

"Unfortunately, it's too late." Pei Zhao sat down on the bed and pretended to caress his back, but was thrown away by the old leader, "While I am still interested in "Prajna Secret Law", hand over the last volume , Father, my son promises to let you take care of me for the rest of my life."

"Bah! You wolf-hearted bastard!" The old leader stared at him with bloodshot eyes from coughing, "When you killed brother and Ying'er, why didn't you remember that your father is going to live for the rest of his life?"

"How can I blame this?" Pei Zhao had an innocent face, "I didn't kill Ying'er, it was clearly because of you."

"What did you say?!"

"If it wasn't for you being partial to my younger brother and refusing to give me anything, why would I want to snatch it with my own hands?"

The old leader was trembling with anger: "The last volume of "Prajna Secret Law" is gone, so don't even try to get it in your life!"

"what?"

"The day I found out how Ying'er was killed by you, I burned the last scroll." The old leader laughed retaliatingly, "Little bastard, you are amazing, just go for it!"

He laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe, Pei Zhao's face became more and more ugly, and after a long while, he slowly shook his head and said: "Father, you are too ruthless to me."

Pei Zhao picked up the belt beside the old teacher's bed, threw it to Hong Nu, and made a gesture, then got up and walked out, and said to Yin Huaishu and the three hall masters: "Follow me outside."

Yin Huaishu could hardly move his feet, only felt his limbs go numb. He Lan walked by him and smiled triumphantly.

Seeing that they had left the inner room, Hong Nu clenched the belt tightly with both hands and put it around the neck of the old leader.The old leader struggled to breathe, struggled desperately, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant: "You... even you have taken refuge in the little bastard! My trust is in vain..."

His neck tightened, and he couldn't speak at all, only the broken syllables in his throat remained.

"You are wrong. In fact, I have never taken refuge in anyone." Hong Nu continued to force his hand, and whispered close to his ear, "Master, Xiao Lingyu, the head of the Seven Kills Sect, asked me to send my regards to you on behalf of her father and brother who died tragically. .”

The old leader suddenly opened his eyes wide, but he couldn't do anything, his whole body was shaken, and he lay on the bed with his eyes closed.

In the main hall outside, Pei Zhao looked around for a week, and finally looked at Yin Huaishu from top to bottom, and said with a smile: "I just left the customs, and I haven't had time to congratulate the new guardian, don't mind."

Yin Huaishu lowered his head: "Don't dare."

When he decided to join the old leader, he gambled on time. He thought that the old leader could last for a year or two before he could gain a foothold in the church, but God was against him. I didn't expect the young master to leave the customs early, but also torn face with the old leader so quickly.

"I have a deep relationship with Yi Buzhi. Knowing that he died, I am very sad, and I plan to investigate this matter thoroughly to avenge him." Pei Zhao paused, and the eyes that fell on Yin Huaishu seemed to have weight, weighing heavily on him. He was out of breath and had to kneel down.

Pei Zhao smiled slightly: "But I thought about it again, people can't be resurrected after death, forget it, not to mention you are a good guardian."

Yin Huaishu suddenly raised his head, and He Lan beside him was even more unbelievable, and almost couldn't help but object.

Pei Zhao stretched out his hand and pulled Yin Huaishu up, saying, "Congratulations to Guardian Right."

"Thank you, young master!" Yin Huaishu hurriedly said with lingering fear, "Young master's kindness and kindness will never be forgotten, and I am willing to do my best for you, and I will repay you with death!"

"What are you talking about?" Pei Zhao waved his hand and said suddenly, "I remember your sister is already old?"

Yin Huaishu seemed to be struck by lightning, he had a premonition of something, so he didn't respond.

Ning Yu on the side smiled and answered: "The young master has a good memory, Miss Huairou is already old, she will be 16 years old this year."

Pei Zhao nodded: "Exactly, I'm almost at the age of marriage, why don't you marry her to me?"

"..." Yin Huaishu gave a forced laugh, "Rourou is a blind girl and ignorant, how can she be worthy of the young master?"

"Since I don't care about her blindness, why should you care about it? Besides, I think she is cute and cute, and I have always liked her. Her brother is also a dignified protector. How can he not be good enough for me?"

Yin Huaishu opened his mouth and said after a while, "Then...after I go and ask her what she means, I will reply to the young master."

Pei Zhao laughed: "If the Dharma protector can't even be the master of his own sister, how can he teach Prajna in the future?"

The implication couldn't be more obvious, Yin Huaishu felt his blood was cold all over his body, he couldn't speak, but he had to answer, he tried his best to restrain himself, a sentence seemed to be full of thorns, cut his throat, spit out It almost smelled bloody: "Yes, it is her luck to be able to marry the young master."

Pei Zhao was very satisfied, and changed the subject: "Just now you all heard the identity of Guardian Zuo, Qi Zhaoxi has not contacted me, and he must have clues to the "Longevity Formula", we must not let him go! "

"I've met him a few times, and I felt indescribably familiar at that time. It turned out to be Guardian Zuo." Ning Yu said, "Is the young master planning to get rid of him?"

"It would be best if he can be subdued and used by me, if not, then we should cut the grass and root out, so as not to cause trouble for his Muslim religion." Pei Zhao said to Yin Huaishu, "I will leave this matter to you, and the three hall masters will assist you. But remember, Qi Zhaoxi is second, and winning the "Longevity Formula" before him is the key!"

"Yes." Yin Huaishu paused, "Master Helan doesn't need to follow me."

"You...!" He Lan was furious, but was blocked by Yan Han who had been silent all the time.

Pei Zhao said indifferently: "It's up to you to arrange, as long as things are done well and don't let me down."

After finishing the order, Pei Zhao motioned for everyone to disperse, Yin Huaishu just turned around, but was stopped again: "By the way, you will order someone to send your sister's birthday horoscope to the priest later, so that he can draw up a plan." wedding date."

Yin Huaishu lowered his eyes: "Yes."

"Hey! Don't be cautious. When we get married, I will call you brother." Pei Zhao smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Yin Huaishu laughed a few times agreeingly, but said nothing.He returned to the courtyard restlessly, pushed open the door, and saw Yin Huairou kneeling in front of the Golden Buddha, chanting in a low voice, and when he heard footsteps, he immediately turned his head and smiled at him: "Brother, you are back."

Yin Huaishu stood still, staring at her blankly, until now he felt the blood flow, and even the heart-breaking pain welled up in his chest, but he softly called out: "Rourou."

"Well, what happened?"

"Have you ever thought about who you want to marry in the future?"

"No." Yin Huairou shook his head without thinking, "I don't want to marry, I want to be with my brother forever."

Yin Huaishu trembled uncontrollably. He strode up to Yin Huairou, bent his knees and knelt down, staring at her face with closed eyes: "Okay, okay, don't marry."

He said softly: "No matter what the people in the sect say, don't believe it. Brother will not lie to you if he promises you."

"Okay." Yin Huairou nodded.

Yin Huaishu grabbed her hand with both hands, put his forehead on the back of her hand, closed his eyes, and promised almost reverently: "I will not let you suffer anymore, believe me, brother will always love you, and will always love you." be with you."

Yin Huairou seemed to have sensed it, and gropingly put his hands on Yin Huaishu's back, as if he was holding a young man who was much taller than her into his arms, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I believe in you."

After a long silence, Yin Huaishu got up, walked to the study, wrote a few words on the paper, then blew the jade flute to summon the black eagle, rolled up the paper and stuffed it into the bamboo tube on the eagle's feet.

The black eagle raised its head and let out a shriek, spreading its wings and flying away.

In a courtyard where the black eagle flew over, the head of the hall, Ning Yu, was boiling water and making tea. Turning his face, he saw He Lan sitting anxiously behind the table, staring at him with cat eyes.

Ning Yu said: "Since Hall Master He Lan minds that the Dharma Protector has left you behind, I'll go and intercede for you."

"You don't need to intercede, I don't want to listen to his orders!" He Lan said angrily, "I mean you, no matter how you look at it, the seat of Right Protector should be yours, and Yin Huaishu deserves it too?"

Ning Yu poured boiling water into the cup to wash the tea, and calmly said: "The young master said yes, and I also think he is good as the right protector."

"Where is it good? He is full of dirty blood, and his martial arts are even worse. He can't even convince the crowd!" He Lan said, "Do you know that Yin Huaishu has already been looking for someone to support in the congregation, and he won't let me this time?" Go, just plan to replace your own people, and give me my seat when you come back!"

Seeing that Ning Yu didn't respond, He Lan continued: "When his sister really married the young master, wouldn't he be more confident, there are only four hall masters, this time it's me, next time it's Yan Han, or you ?”

Ning Yu glanced at her with a smile: "I'm sorry, Master Helan is worried about my safety."

Seeing his attitude, He Lan simply confessed, rubbed his soft hand against the back of his hand, and said weakly: "Ning Yu, last time I was caught by the Zhengdao gang, only you came here to save me. I, I remember in my heart, you have to help me again this time."

Ning Yu handed the brewed tea to her, shook his head and said with a smile: "If you want to deal with a weak person, isn't that easy? He keeps you in the teaching, but it's your chance."

He Lan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Say it more clearly!"

"Let me give you a hint." Ning Yu dipped his fingertips in the tea and slowly wrote two words on the table.

"Qin Zheng?" He Lan read out.

Ning Yu nodded, but He Lan still felt that it was not enough, her fingers lightly brushed the back of his hand, and then slid towards his palm, but unexpectedly Ning Yu withdrew her hand, looking like a gentleman: "Master He Lan misunderstood, I treat you badly." I don't have that kind of thought, just because I have known each other for many years, I kindly help you."

He Lan was bored with the discussion, and knew that there was nothing more to ask, so he had no choice but to leave in embarrassment.

Ning Yu took a sip of tea happily, and she smiled lightly as she looked at the drying water stains on the table from the corner of her eye.
