Alienated Martial Arts.

Chapter 261 Gifts
The moonlight is like water, sprinkled all over the earth.

Daze gradually regained its calm, leaving only the sound of whining wind, blowing out ripples on the water surface.

Liu Yuzhen didn't dare to stay too far away, and quickly rushed back to the rocky beach on the shore.

At this point the place has turned into a swamp.

The two figures stood and sat one by one, like old friends meeting under the moon, chatting and communicating by the water.

But Liu Yuzhen knew clearly that she had no breath at all and had already reached the end of her life.

Wei Tao turned around slowly and looked back.

The scarlet in the eyes disappeared, and the clarity returned.

It's just hard to hide the weakness and exhaustion in it.

"Palace master, she's gone already?"

Liu Chuanxiong opened his mouth, and at this moment, he suddenly lost the rage and anger of the previous death battle.

He took a few steps forward, looked at the woman who was sitting still with complicated eyes, and seemed to want to say something more, but after hesitating for a long time, he just let out a long sigh.

The two fell into a long silence.

It wasn't until there was a crisp bird song in the distance that Wei Tao said, "What is Elder Liu thinking about?"

Liu Yuxuan smiled, "I want to smoke a bag of dry tobacco, make another piece of tofu, pour some soy sauce on it, and drink a pot of the strongest shochu."

Wei Tao was slightly taken aback, "Senior's answer was beyond my expectations."

"A long time ago, when I was young, before I even entered the Xuanwu Dao Mountain Gate, my father would reward himself like this after he finished a big job and got paid.

At that time, the family was poor and couldn't afford good wine or meat. Soybean curd and burning knives were already a rare enjoyment for his old man. "

Liu Yuxi covered his chest and coughed a few times, with blood overflowing from his mouth and nose, "I'm a person with no ambitions. What I want to join the Xuanwu Dao is to be a handyman in the Taoist temple outside the sect, and I can earn a salary every month. The regular silver subsidy for the family is enough.

Who would have thought that he would have completed the Turtle and Snake Chapter ignorantly, from an outer disciple to an inner disciple, and then he would be accepted as a direct disciple by the teacher in a daze, which completely deviated from the life I expected and envisioned at the beginning. "

Wei Tao said, "If you don't seek, you seek, if you don't fight, you fight. Now, senior, he is considered complete."

Liu Yuxuan sighed softly, "Just now I told Daozi that I have always been a man with no ambitions and a mediocre temperament, and my only pursuit is to let my family live a better life.

Just step by step, the position is getting higher and higher, and the pressure is getting bigger and bigger, especially when the teacher was dying, the open and secret fights between the brothers and sisters of the same school, it was really anxious and worrying, and I couldn't hide it even if I wanted to.

Even if I become a master of martial arts and was promoted to the elder of the mountain gate, I am not particularly happy. After all, in this position, people have to face various things, and every move is deeply involved. . "

Wei Tao sighed, "I also have the same thoughts as seniors, but most of the time I can't help myself and things are not controlled by others. Seniors should also have a deep understanding of this."

"I can't help myself, and things can't be controlled by others, I really have a deep understanding."

Speaking of this, Liu Yuzheng lowered his eyes, looked at the scarlet silk thread quietly drilled out of his fingertips, and suddenly showed a faint smile, "It's like the backhand left by Wei Daozi when he pulled out the strange thread of the palace master, I am convinced , had to bow down."

"This junior also has to do it as a last resort. It won't have any bad influence on seniors, let alone use family members to coerce seniors like the master of the palace sect."

Wei Tao's expression was calm, and his tone was gentle, "After all, Senior Liu and I are now regarded as grasshoppers on the same rope, sitting in the same boat, if the rope breaks and the boat capsizes, it will be a dead end for both of us.

The only correct choice is to continue the alliance and cooperation. The seniors have far-sighted eyes and far-sighted thoughts, so they should not reject the proposals of the juniors. "

There was a sparkle in Liu Yuzhen's eyes, and countless thoughts flashed through him in an instant.

Thinking about the fact that the person in front of him possesses such a terrifying level of strength at such an age, if given more time, as long as he can successfully become a martial arts master, he might be able to repeat the grand feat of Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou.

More importantly, although this Taoist of Qinglin Mountain offered him a side, it can be seen from the details of the life-and-death fight that this person is not that kind of sinister and vicious character, on the contrary, he is a very reliable comrade-in-arms.

Well, he is still meeting him at the very end of the day, as long as he can grasp this relationship well, the absolute future can be expected.

Thinking about this, Liu Yuxie immediately made a decision in his heart and made a plan.

"What Wei Daozi said is very true, and the old man also thinks so in his heart. If Daozi needs anything in the future, he can tell me directly. As long as it can be done, there will never be any excuses."

Wei Tao said slowly, "Actually, I don't have anything to bother Elder Liu to do, but I am very interested in the yin and yang artistic conception proposed by the elder, and I want to study it more deeply."

Liu Yuxuan showed a distressed expression, "The yin and yang artistic conception mentioned by the old man comes from the chapter of Xuanwu Zhenjieming, and it can be regarded as the real untold secret of our sect."

After being silent for a long time, he let out a long sigh, "However, I think Taoist has completed all the chapters of Gui Snake, Rengui and Qisu, so he can actually be called a half-successor disciple of our sect.

On this basis, it is actually necessary to practice the words of the Ming Mi chapter. "

Wei Tao smiled happily, "Elder Liu, don't worry, God knows this matter, you know me, and I will never let a third person know about it."

Together, the two restrained Gong Yuan's body, and walked back slowly along the way they came.

Until he returned to the city, Wei Tao was still thinking about what Gong Yuan said before he died.

The Bone Altar is a cage that seals off the town, so she didn't say clearly what it was imprisoning.

Also, what exactly did she see and discover in the end, that she would say the words that would kill all the visceral profound sense practitioners on Dingxuan Mountain.

Wei Tao thought all the way, but did not get a sure answer.

However, what Dingxuan Mountain has become has nothing to do with him.

As long as they didn't mess with him, he would only run over and kill people when he was full.

However, after dealing with Wu Qingxuan's matter, he had the idea of ​​going to Mozhou.

According to what Gong Yuan said, that sea of ​​purple and red flowers is very likely to be the deep mountain where the rose tea tribe lives.

Coupled with the fact that the image of the woman appearing in the sea of ​​flowers is somewhat similar to the portrait drawn by Wu Qingxuan, then it is necessary to go to the mountains of Mozhou to see the place where the Luocha tribe has lived for generations, and then investigate. their ancestral hall.

Even if you can only find a few clues from it, it is still a worthwhile trip.

ten days later.

Yuan Yiyi's team set off again, heading towards the capital.

After walking a certain distance, the north wind howled, getting more and more fierce, and there was a tendency of ghosts and wolves howling behind.

Unknowingly, there are bits and pieces of fine snowflakes falling down, like a layer of fine salt sprinkled on the ground.

Only half a day passed, the snow fell more and more heavily, and nothing could be seen clearly between the sky and the earth, only a vast expanse of whiteness.

Several horse-drawn carriages drove slowly in the center of the official road, leaving straight and long ruts behind them, but they were quickly covered by heavy snow, and no traces could be seen anymore.

Finally, after several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the Acropolis, which is less than a hundred miles away from the capital of Da Zhou.

Although it is only an acropolis guarding the capital, the prosperity here is somewhat beyond Wei Tao's expectations. Even in the snowy weather, pedestrians on the street are still jostling each other, and there is an endless stream.

From time to time, there are soldiers in armor patrolling along the road, watching all faces vigilantly.

The convoy avoided the busiest long street, turned into a long stone road, and finally stopped in front of an unremarkable gray courtyard wall.

Wei Tao got out of the car, stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker.

After a while, footsteps came from inside.

The small door was opened a crack, revealing an old wrinkled face.

Seeing the two figures standing outside, the old man frowned slightly, and a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his cloudy eyes.

He said slowly, "Young Master, who are you looking for?"

Wei Tao didn't speak, but just showed the token Wu Qingxuan gave him.

On the steps behind, Wu Qingxuan raised her hood and glanced this way.

"Has His Royal Highness returned safely!?"

The old man was startled for a moment, and the wrinkles on his face stretched out.

He immediately opened the door and welcomed the two of them in, while he himself greeted the carriage outside.

Wei Tao glanced back, and walked slowly into the courtyard with Wu Qingxuan.

Without warning, there seemed to be a cold wind blowing from behind the door.

Wei Tao narrowed his eyes, a cold light flickered in his vision, and the sky was full of stars.

It is also like a tree full of pear blossoms in full bloom, mixed in the heavy snow, full of intoxicating beautiful scenes.

Faced with this situation, he was neither surprised nor dodged. Instead, he stepped in with the other foot, and at the same time stretched out a hand, and casually grabbed it in front of him.

Swish!
In an instant, the pear blossoms fell and the cold stars disappeared.

There was only a half-broken long sword left, which was firmly held by a man in white Shengxue, his eyes full of disbelief.

"You, what are you..."

Click!

Before he could finish his sentence, he was lifted up by his neck, and hit the wall with a bang.

"Who exactly are you?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, and finished talking about the man's unfinished question.

"I'm……"

The man's face was flushed, and he spoke with difficulty.

There was another crisp sound.

His mouth was snapped shut, his tightly closed teeth and lips blocked a cold glow that shot out from his mouth, and the dirty blood flowed down unscrupulously, staining the white clothes into a large dark red color.

Wei Tao threw away the corpse casually, feeling a little bit emotional, "There is even a hidden sword killing move, if it is a warrior at the same level as yours, it is really possible that you will fight back to the limit and die of hatred."

At this moment, the battle outside has also ended.

Facing the two Yuanyiyi elders who received Wei Tao's gaze, the old man was subdued and captured alive as soon as he approached the carriage, without even making a sound.

There was another creak, and the courtyard door was closed.

"Follow me and don't run around."

Wei Tao withdrew his gaze and continued to walk inside.

Wu Qingxuan's expression was serious, and she followed closely.

Through the snowflakes flying all over the sky, he could already see the shadowy figure, which was rushing towards this side quickly.

If it doesn't come, it's fine, but since it has already come and this kind of thing happened again, one cannot be let go.

Swish!
Several figures quietly appeared in the courtyard.

"Who are they?" Wei Tao asked.

"They are all under the father."

Wu Qingxuan added in a cold voice, "I used to be my father's subordinate, but now I don't know."

The leading warrior waved his hand, and everyone drew their weapons and rushed forward in silence.

In an instant, a cold light flickered, covering the two people in front, back, left, and right.

Surrounded in the middle, Wei Tao slapped lightly.

Except for the leading martial artist, all the others collapsed to the ground without saying a word, and they couldn't die any more.

He stared blankly at Wei Tao standing in front of him, his eyes were dull, his whole body was trembling, and he even forgot whether to turn around and run away.

Wei Tao glanced back, "Do you want to keep alive?"

"Kill him." Wu Qingxuan exhaled slowly, her expression calmed down.

Wei Tao nodded, snapped and snapped the head warrior's neck.

The two walked through the vestibule and into the inner courtyard.

After walking more than ten steps, Wei Tao suddenly stopped, and his left foot landed lightly on the ground.

Boom!
Wu Qingxuan's body trembled violently, feeling that the ground seemed to have obvious ups and downs.

There was still a faint scream in her ears, but when she carefully identified it, the sound disappeared.

A few drops of liquid were splashed on the back of her hands and cheeks, and the faint smell of blood spread and poured into her nose, a fishy-sweet feeling.

"Don't worry about it, keep going."

A calm and indifferent voice sounded in her ears, Wu Qingxuan took a deep breath, trying to calm down her emotions.

After hearing the fifth muffled sound, the two finally stood in front of a secret room in the deepest part of the courtyard.

After reading the unsent letters inside, Wu Qingxuan sat down slumped, with an anxious expression on her face.

Suddenly, she got up abruptly and knelt down on the ground, "My father is probably in danger, so please ask Daozi to help!"

Wei Tao didn't speak, his eyes fell on one of the papers, and a trace of doubt flashed between his brows.

He saw two names on it.

Yunhong and Lieshan.

The two are Dingxuan Daozi who participated in the Jiaomen Grand Competition.

When the Qinglian Sect attacked Taixuan Mountain, other disciples of other sects were either killed or given secret methods to lose their sanity.

Only the two of them disappeared without a trace after coming down from the Abyss of Taixuan.

But now it appears beside Prince Yeon.

I don't know if it has anything to do with the palace or even Qinglian Sect.

After a while, Wei Tao helped Wu Qingxuan up from the ground, "Your Highness, there is no need to do this. Before going down the mountain this time, the Taoist master of this sect has already said that if Prince Cheng is in any danger, we, Yuanyi sect, will definitely help."

Speaking of this, he raised his head and stared at the heavy snow outside the door, "But this matter is not only related to another prince, but also faintly involves Xuanwu Dao and Dingxuan Sect, and I don't even know whether Qinglian Sect is involved .

So exactly how to do it and to what extent still needs to be discussed in detail, and the already complicated situation cannot be made even more chaotic by just relying on a moment of courage. "

…………

…………

………………

The capital of the Great Zhou, Prince Beppu.

A young girl half-lyed in the garden pavilion, holding an ancient book in her hand, reading it with gusto.

No matter how the cold wind howls or the snowflakes dance, they can't affect her even the slightest bit.

Ok?
Just as she was reading into the rapt point, the girl suddenly sat up straight.

She frowned, turned her head slowly, and looked towards the north where the cold wind was blowing.

After a while, the girl closed her eyes again, her body still trembling uncontrollably.

Another period of time passed, and when she opened her eyes again, the agility in her eyes had disappeared, replaced by indifference and coldness.

"What's wrong with Junior Sister Yunhong, I really surprised my senior brother."

On the stone bench at the edge of the pavilion, the tall man sitting still looked over with a concerned expression on his face.

"Brother Lie Shan, the teacher is dead."

Yunhong sighed faintly, but she couldn't hear any sadness in her tone, but a faint sense of joy and relief.

"Teacher, she is dead?"

Lie Shan's complexion changed, and he sat up straight suddenly.

After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly, "The shackles imposed on the body disappeared, the shackles did not remain, and Weisi danced happily. It seems that the teacher has indeed passed away."

While speaking, Lie Shan slowly stood up from the stone bench, his face was no longer simple and honest, as if he had become a completely different stranger in an instant.

With murderous intent in his eyes, he sighed deeply, "I have spent so long with Junior Sister Yunhong day and night, and I still feel a little bit reluctant."

Yun Hong smiled slightly, "You and Teacher Qi have specially improved the sympathetic knot, and it's reasonable for Senior Brother Lie Shan to have such an idea."

After a pause, she still smiled and said, "But this is the residence of the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the prince. There are messy eyeliners around and many experts. It is not a place where we can solve things."

"What the junior sister said is true, then the senior brother will wait for you at Meishan outside the city."

Lie Shan took a step forward, his figure submerged into the depths of the wind and snow.

There was only one sentence left, which still echoed quietly in her ears, "I hope my junior sister can be faster, so that I can still catch up with the teacher's footsteps.

It's better for the junior sister to tell the teacher in detail, and the senior brother will inherit her will and continue the road that the teacher has not finished. "

Yun Hong watched the tall figure go away.

Then slowly closed his eyes to block the fluttering silver threads inside.

"Inherit the legacy of the teacher?"

A smile appeared on her face, and then quickly became intense, "Actually, the teacher has been resisting all this time, trying to suppress Xuannian by herself. She even put all kinds of shackles on us to prevent us from Wait to be addicted.

Brother Lie Shan wants to inherit the teacher's behest, so how can he open up his body and mind to meet Xuan Nian without reservation, so it is even more impossible to survive in my hands. "

"But Senior Brother Lie Shan doesn't have to be sad, after you, other elders and disciples in this sect who have practiced the One Heart Knot will also become my food.

With their company, you and the teacher will never feel lonely down here. This is also the last gift I have prepared for you. "

The next moment, there was no one in the gazebo.

Yunhong's slender figure is like an elf in the snow, quietly blending into the wind.

She tapped the ground with her toes, and every time she landed, she precisely stepped on the center of Lie Shan's footprints, and followed the strange feeling brought by the concentric knot, chasing after the tall figure.
