Poor Monk

Why are you laughing?

Shen Du couldn't tell.

But I just thought it was funny, because of the shocking conversation between him and Gu Zhao, and also because of the sword that Gu Zhao suddenly deflected at the very moment...

It was like hearing the funniest words in the world.

It was like watching the funniest show in the world.

Unable to restrain himself, he laughed louder and louder, even startling the few people in the city who opened their windows to look outside.I'm afraid that other people will think he is a lunatic, but he is still smiling.

Whether Gu Zhao will hear this laughter, he is too lazy to worry about it.

Laughing all the way out of town.

It wasn't until he walked another five miles that he felt that he had laughed enough and was tired of laughing, so he stopped slowly.

Standing in a barren mountain, look back.

The dilapidated city wall of Yiyang City, like a wounded beast, crouched in the dark shadow of the sky, restraining all its claws and claws, inexplicably showing a decadent scene.

The banner on the top of the city alone is still fluttering in the night wind.

Shen Du suddenly thought: Gu Zhao's feeling at this moment should be very uncomfortable, or maybe if he is given another chance to choose, he will regret that moment of mercy, right?

But that has nothing to do with him.

He looked down at the wooden box containing the sugar in his hand, took out another one and ate another one, then raised his head and began to identify the direction.

It's time to go back to the demon way.

In today's arena, the three characters "Yaomo Dao" means evil heretics, and it was called "Demon Cult" in the past.But in fact, when "Yaomo Dao" first appeared, it was just a place name.

Demon Road is in the northwest.

After the war subsided, the border trade was open, and the narrow and long Hexi Corridor became a necessary place to pass. Among them was a long mountain road, which was the most dangerous section.

The mountain is as high as a thousand feet, and it is as difficult as the road to Shu.

The passable road was opened between the two mountains. Walking in the road, when you look up, you will feel suspicious that the cliffs above your head will fall down, rugged and steep.

For business travelers, this is the shortest way.

If you want to bypass it, you have to pass through the nearby mountains, and it will take at least half a month longer.So over time, bandits gathered here to rob the passing business travelers.

One is the difficult road, and the other is dangerous bandits, so it is called "the way of demons".

The word "Tao" just means "road" at this time.

It was not until more than 60 years ago that a group of monsters from the Jianghu were chased and killed, fled to this place, occupied this place, slowly recuperated and developed, and became today's "Dao of Demons".

And the steepest Jiantian cliff on this road is the main altar of the demon road.

Shen alone is going back to Jiantianya.

Judging the direction by the direction of the North Star, he didn't even bother to see whether it was an official road or a mountain road, whether it was a smooth road or a high mountain, and he just walked southwest.

Not long after, Yiyang City was already left behind by him.

The sky was dark.

No moon tonight.

But when Shen Du looked up at the sky, for some reason, he remembered those moonless nights in the Bukong Sea of ​​Mangosteen, and also remembered the three volumes of Buddhist collections.

Speaking of which, until he left Gu Zhao's place, there was no news of the theft of the three-volume Buddhist collection from Tianji Temple.

These monks...

What is the plan?

"Now that the Buddhist collection has been stolen, a bloodbath is imminent. It's better to stop this matter, I'm afraid we should tell the martial arts to avoid embarrassing situations in the future..."

"Abbot, absolutely not!"

"If people in the Jianghu know that my Tianji Temple is not guarded well enough to steal the Buddha's treasure for others, it will definitely lead to a disaster. The demons and monsters who stole the Buddha's treasure will not dare to say anything. I might as well think of a surefire plan before making a decision."

"What Junior Brother Yuanwu said makes sense..."

……

The moonless sky was dark, and even the stars were covered by stratus clouds.

The monk walked out of the abbot's room holding the string of red sandalwood beads, the surrounding was silent, but the previous dispute in the room still echoed in his ears.

One word, one sentence, one sound.

Abbot Yuan Mie sat in the middle, and the other people in the room were all eminent and respected monks in the Buddhist monastery, but never once did everyone look so solemn, as if they were facing an enemy.

No one blames him.

He didn't tell the Buddhist monastery what he had done, and everyone in the monastery didn't feel that it was all his responsibility for the theft of the Buddhist collection.

After all, the three volumes of Buddhist treasures hidden in the Buddhist beads can be discovered and even stolen. It can be said that ability and opportunity are indispensable.

It's not something that he can solve with good guarding.

In the past 16 years, countless people have visited the Hall of Thousand Buddhas. It is already a miracle that the Buddhist collection has been stolen.

But the monk himself didn't think so.

The more tolerant and reasonable the elders of Shimen were, the heavier a certain thing he was suppressing in his heart became.So much so that when he was standing in the abbot's room just now, he was in a trance.

He didn't even hear Master calling his name.

Abbot Yuan Mie asked him: "Shanzai, what do you think?"

What could he have thought?

Life and death day and night, water flows and flowers fade.

There are too many helpless things in the world, and the current predicament of Tianji Chanyuan is also helpless. It is wrong to go further, and it is also wrong to take a step back.

Step by step.

Every step is beyond redemption.

He couldn't answer.

He had no choice but to shake his head slowly, but kept silent, and walked out of the abbot's room.

The temple is clean.

The shadow of the bodhi tree dances.

The snow-white monk's robe also showed a strange bright color like jade in this night, and it swayed silently with his steady and quiet steps.

Walked up the dark steps.

Passed through the high wall carved with Buddha statues.

Passed through the forest of steles engraved with Buddhist scriptures.

Sutra pillars are like standing Buddhas, and he lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, passing among them, with his heart full of unknown secrets and his body full of unknown sins.

I wanted to go back to the Zen room.

But at this time, he couldn't help but think of the bamboo house in the bamboo sea at the foot of the mountain, and felt that his feet were heavy, and it was really difficult to take another step.

When I looked up, I saw a tall pagoda in front of me.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

There was the sound of knocking wooden fish, coming from inside.

The superb cultivation in martial arts endowed Shanzai with extremely keen five senses, so the moment he heard it, he had already judged that the sound of the wooden fish was coming from the bottom of the pagoda.

Seven-level pagoda.

A plaque was hung on it, and the handwriting was already a little mottled.

But the monk knew what was written in those two words without looking at it.

industry tower.

The name of this pagoda.

Industry, evil also.

Guilty, sin.

He stood outside and listened to the sound of the wooden fish for a long time without moving.

There is wind blowing.

Stratus clouds moved across the sky in the cold night, and after an unknown amount of time, the covered moon finally appeared, but it looked a little hazy because of the hazy mist.

When the thin layer of clear light fell on the gate at the bottom of the pagoda and shone in through the crack of the door, an old and hoarse voice finally came from inside.

"What are sentient beings in the heart?"

Shanzai was slightly stunned, but replied: "Evil, delusional, unkind, jealous, vicious, such minds are all sentient beings."

The voice inside asked again: "What is true degree?"

He replied: "The degree of self-nature is the degree of truth."

"Then the self-nature is self-sufficient, so what should be the explanation?"

"All living beings with wrong views, afflictions, and ignorance and doubts in my heart will be saved by right views. With right views, Prajna wisdom will break through ignorance, doubts and deluded beings, and each will save them. Good comes from evil."

On Buddhism, he is the number one in the monastery.

The old voice inside listened to his fluent conversation, without words for a long time.It wasn't until Shanzai thought that he couldn't speak anymore that he let out a vicissitudes of laughter.

"Afflictions are boundless, Dharma doors are endless. The higher the wisdom, the deeper the wisdom, the more afflictions..."

People call him "Hui Monk".

Gai Yin has a long-term memory, whether it is martial arts or Buddhism, he knows everything, even without a teacher, as if the spirit of Zhong Tiandi is all in one.

In Buddhism, people like him are regarded as the reincarnation of Buddha.

But he felt that he was nothing more than a mortal body.

Ye Pagoda is an ancient pagoda.

According to legend, the Sixth Patriarch Huineng was in this pagoda. After ten days of meditation, he broke through the world of mortals and understood Mahayana Buddhism.

Today, the relics of the real Buddha are enshrined in this pagoda, and the tower guards are eminent monks of Miaozi generation.

Miaowu Zen Master.

Counting it, he is the uncle of Abbot Yuan Mie, who has guarded the pagoda and enshrined the relics of the true Buddha for more than 30 years.

According to legend, he once killed many people and created countless killing karma. Later, although he accumulated many virtues and did countless good deeds, he felt uneasy in his heart, so he spent his days chanting Buddha and sutras in this pagoda all year round.

Shanzai stared at the crack of the door, but saw the shadows of several branches cast on the door, so when he looked back, he saw a tree of worry-free flowers planted not far away.

But no flowers.

Although Tianji Chanyuan is a place where the earth's energy gathers, it is also cold at this time, and you can only see the leaves of the trees faded, and the cold branches are sparse.

He was silent for a long time.

I have also seen this flower tree for a long time.

Then he lowered his eyebrows and asked the doubt that had been lingering in his heart for a long time: "The disciple is dull and has a demon in his heart. But he doesn't know the reason why the master was like a world of mortals in the past, what was the reason, and what was the intention?"

There was laughter from inside.

After a while, it was the voice that was so old that it was almost decayed: "That was a long, long time ago..."

The moon is hazy.

Inside and outside the Karma Pagoda, everyone was in a general coma.

The night passed quickly.

Shen Du didn't stop to rest, he was marching all night, he was on his way.From the mountains to the plateau, and from the plateau, I entered a familiar mountain.

Surrounded by clouds and fog, it is difficult for birds to fly.

The precipitous solitary shadow of Jiantianya, just like a machete hanging upside down in the faint light of dawn, naturally reveals a sharpness, and one can't help but marvel at the uncanny workmanship of heaven and earth.

Everyone knows that the lair of the demon way is here.

But for decades, no force has been able to break through this place.

The real one is easy to defend but difficult to attack.The terrain is extremely high, and the mountain road is complicated. People who are not familiar with the terrain will be stunned when they enter, so why attack?

Not to mention, since he became the master of Taoism, he has been in collusion with Gu Zhao, and the power of demon Taoism has increased, and there has never been a situation where he was forced to come to the door.

He knows all the gates and defenses.

When he got to the vicinity of this mountain, he didn't worry about changing the defense at all, or that someone was ambushing outside to kill him.With his current strength, if he dared to go to Pengshan and walk sideways, of course he also dared to walk vertically in this demon path.

So just follow the same path.

No one was surprised all the way.

From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, there are jagged rocks, rugged and dangerous.Occasionally, blood is smeared on the ground, broken blades are inserted into rocks, and skeletons are caulked, so I don't pay much attention to them.

For Shen Du, these are things he saw from childhood.

The demon way is his territory.

If he remembered correctly, today happened to be a big day for discussing matters in the Tao.All the prominent leaders in the Dao of Demons and Demons, such as the hall masters of each branch hall, and even the elder guardians, will gather at Han Jue Ding.

Yao Qing, Cui Hong...

Even Pei Wuji should be there.

Han Jueding is located at the height of Jiantian Cliff. It was originally a huge karst cave in the mountain. Later, it was excavated by the demon Taoists and broke through the mountain wall, as if a square was carved out of a thousand-ren cliff.

The skylight penetrates from the outside, and a brazier is set up inside.

Thick iron chains hang down from a height, adding a bit of coldness to the space, but the ground is covered with thick Persian velvet blankets, which are always soft when stepped on.

Anyone who has been in Yaomo Dao for some years knows that this thing didn't exist in the first place.

After all, there are many fights on the demon road, and God knows when the carpet will be stained with blood, and it will have to be replaced with a new one in a short time.

But since Shen Du became the Taoist master, the extremely cold blanket has become the norm.

Someone ridiculed, saying that the Lord is extravagant.

Others say he was just addicted to pleasure.

Some people even boldly speculated that although Shen Du's murder was serious, it might be because he couldn't see blood. After all, before he became a Taoist master, he was known as a kind person.

There are various theories.

But only Pei Wuji knew, they all guessed wrong.

Shen Duyi stretched out his hand to eat and opened his mouth, saying that he is extravagant and obsessed with pleasure, which is not wrong; but the thick Persian blanket was spread on the top of Hanjue, just because he practiced Liuhe Shenjue, his body pulse was evil, and some Just chills.

The throne of the Taoist Lord is set at the highest point at the end of the steps.

Dark and wide.

It is covered with more expensive sable fur, and behind it are three long dark black curtains hanging from the rock dome, with sixteen demon totems painted on them.

Pei Wuji's eyes slowly moved from the throne to the totem behind the throne, as if in a daze, without words or movements for a long time.

Just stand with your hands behind your back like this.

The people behind him could only see his palms gently folded on the back of his waist, with the rough calloused skin of a person who practiced martial arts hard, and with the majesty only a superior person can have.

He was wearing a dark red robe.

The color was as deep as if stained with blood.

Mo Yu's curly hair originally had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, but her tightly pursed thin lips added a suffocation to this face.

The youthfulness and embarrassment of his youth have long since faded from him.Instead, it was the cruelty and coercion accumulated little by little from the killings.

A non-wounding knife as long as a crescent moon is worn on his waist.

If the cloud and thunder pattern on the tip of the blade is filled with blood, it reflects his dangerous and lonely temperament.

Who would have thought?

Ten years ago, the boy who was full of hatred and went to the demon way, and endured the humiliation with tears in front of everyone, will become what he is now, even possessing such a ruthless wrist.

Second only to Shen Du, above them.

Now even Shen Du is gone.

As long as he wanted to, he could walk up the steps at any time, sit on the throne that no one else sat on in the past ten years, and become the new Taoist from then on, erasing all traces of Shen Du's existence.

Compared with the past, there are far fewer people gathered in Hanjueding today.

Those who are still alive and standing here are obedient.

Those who were disobedient were basically beheaded by Pei Wuji, thrown outside under the cliff, and fed to the wolves, tigers, leopards, vultures and falcons in the mountains.

Everyone is waiting for him to speak.

But Pei Wuji just stood at the bottom of the steps, looking up like this, without saying a word.Already the outline of a young man, like his knife, with sharp edges and corners.

Shen Du gave him his knife.

From then on, he became Shen Du's sword.

Trek through mountains and rivers for him, and go through life and death for him; go through fire and water for him, and be fascinated by him...

Ten years of life and death.

Ten years in the middle of nowhere.

But it wasn't until he saw the Wushang knife piercing his body from behind that Pei Wuji remembered that he forgot to ask Shen Du: "Back then, you dared to kill the world, but why did you spare my life?"

So he regretted it.

He can't be that lone wolf.

From the very beginning, he was a dog raised by Shen alone.Sometimes I long to break free from the shackles, but once I really lose the shackles, I feel at a loss.

He is used to his orders, used to crawling at his feet.

He loves to hear him talk and watch him kill.

Or teach himself martial arts with a cold face; or eat sweets with lowered eyebrows, and then let the person he doesn't like go to Gu Zhao's side to die; or sit on the edge of the cliff and watch the moon, lonely and cold all over...

He hated him and loved him.

Only now did I realize that I couldn't do without him.

Pei Wuji finally laughed slowly, then murmured, and asked behind him: "Yao Qing, tell me, will he come back?"

Chapter 36 Returning to the Way of Demons┃At this moment, he admitted that he was his servant and his captive.

The cliffs lean against the sky, and the mountain roads are rugged.

The maids in charge of cleaning on Jiantian Cliff had just finished their busy morning, and they all walked over from the Guyue Pavilion with lowered eyebrows, holding copper basins and handkerchiefs in their hands.

These days, the situation in the Tao has not affected them in the slightest.

After all, their status is low, and it is difficult for them to have any influence on those big shots.

Therefore, even if the various factions are fighting each other, they will not point the butcher's knife at them, so that they have become the last people on Jiantianya who don't need to worry about their safety at this time of turmoil.

But the fear remains.

Feng Xiao is the one with the highest status among this group of maids.

Before Shen Du's accident, she was in charge of taking care of the big and small matters around Shen Du, and was also in charge of all kinds of trivial matters on Jiantianya. It can be said that she is not an exaggeration to be called "Jiantianya Chief Manager".

After the accident, she thought she would die for sure, after all, it was Pei Wuji who plotted against the Taoist behind the scenes.

After following the Taoist master and serving him for so many years, can she still not know what kind of person Pei Zuoshi is?

But she didn't expect--

Not only was he not killed by Pei Wuji, but he survived unharmed, and even continued to be in charge of the big and small things on Jiantianya.

She still remembers that day.

The day after the accident.

The envoy Pei Zuo, who usually followed the Taoist master, came back covered in blood with a non-injured knife in his hand, and his dark red robe was stained darker by the blood.It is clear that the whole body is full of coldness and awe, but when passing Jiantianya, his eyes are full of trance and emptiness...

What kind of eyes should it be?

Feng Xiao felt that she couldn't understand.

Just like she didn't understand the relationship between the Taoist master and Pei Zuoshi from the very beginning, nor did she understand why Pei Zuoshi betrayed the Taoist master, let alone why the Taoist master indulged Pei Zuoshi so much for so many years...

Perhaps, this is the reason why the Taoist is the Taoist, the reason why Pei Zuoshi is Pei Zuoshi, and the reason why he can only be the chief executive of Jiantianya?

Nothing bad.

Feng Xiao lowered her eyebrows and sighed softly.

The maids following her all had more or less panic on their faces, they only looked down at their own toes as they walked, lest one accidentally offend someone and lead to death.

Only Feng Xiao was quite calm.

But before she could sort out this slightly complicated mood, a low laugh came from the front.

"During the time I was away, did Pei Wuji miss you to eat, or did you miss your use? It's been a long time since I saw you, with such a sad face and sighing..."

Feng Xiao was stunned for an instant, there was a "buzz" in her head, and she could hardly believe her ears.

She suddenly raised her head and looked forward.

Not far from Guyue Pavilion, Jiantianya is at the height of the end.

A bleak cold wind came out, and the sky was bright, but it couldn't cover the dark figure on the cliff, so at the end of the line of sight, there was that familiar shadow.

Feng Xiao's whole body seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move at all.

The man withdrew his gaze from looking outside the cliff, turned his footsteps, and walked towards her.

There was a rare warm smile on her face, and she stretched out a slender palm with five fingers, and gently touched her head to rub her soft forehead hair.

"I'm back, don't cry."

don't cry.

Feng Xiao didn't want to cry at first.

But after hearing his voice that seemed to be calm but with a bit of comforting meaning, it somehow touched a certain emotion, and he couldn't hold it back anyway, his eyes were instantly blurred and tears were misty.

She is very dignified looking.

Qi bangs, oval face, almond eyes, narrow nose and cherry lips, wearing a light yellow pleated skirt.On weekdays, when looking at people, he has no expression on his face, and being able to calm down the people below has a bit of majesty.

But now, as soon as the tears rolled, he immediately became pitiful.

It's like an abandoned kitten...

Shen Du suddenly let out a deep sigh in his heart.

At this moment, he didn't know whether to put the hand on her head or take it away, and it seemed a little awkward for a moment.After hesitating for a long time, he touched her head again angrily and amusedly, and threatened her.

"Cry again, believe it or not, sell you?"

"Woooooooo..."

After he said this, Feng Xiao's tears not only didn't stop, but also fell more violently, like beads with a broken thread, and even cried aloud.

Both eyes were red, and he simply squatted on the ground, hugging his knees, and curled up into a ball.

Shen Dushou was still in mid-air.

At this time, one head and two big.

He couldn't coax girls, or rather, he couldn't coax people at all.He has always been the only one to be coaxed by others, so where is the time for him to coax others?

So he looked at the rest of the maids behind.

He wanted to make them coax them.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned his gaze, those maidservants seemed to be frightened, and they came to their senses almost immediately. They quickly knelt down, put down the utensils in their hands, and kowtowed: "Servants wait to see Taoist Lord!"

"..."

Shen Du swallowed what he was about to say.

He glanced at Feng Xiao, but in the end he didn't say anything, he simply let her continue to cry, walked past her, and walked towards Han Jueding.

Han Jueding is on the other side of Jiantian Cliff, not very far away.

After a while, voices could be heard from inside.

It's Yao Qing.

"...The subordinates only know that the Taoist Lord appeared in the western side of Bukong Mountain yesterday and rescued us. But when asked whether he wanted to go back to Jiantianya, he only said that there were still things to deal with, and he would not return for the time being. Therefore, I have to ask The Taoist master's whereabouts and plans, the subordinates really don't know."

There was a little hesitation in the voice.

Also, heavy worries and fears!

At the moment of Han Jueding, there are not many new disciples, most of them are people who have known Yao Qing for a long time, and are already familiar with her usual tone of voice.

Listening to it right now, how can you not hear the difference?

Pei Wuji didn't speak for a while, but someone next to him sneered directly: "Yao Youshi's words are really strange! You have already met the Taoist, how can you not know where the Taoist went and when he will come back?" ? If he doesn't trust you, will he save you?"

The atmosphere in the arena suddenly turned cold.

Yao Qing turned his head and saw the man who spoke: thick eyebrows, big eyes, tall, wearing only a short brown shirt in this cold weather, shirtless and bare chested.

It is Cao Xin, the rudder master of the Jiangyin sub-rudder.

When the Taoist master was still around, he liked to flatter and flatter horses, but it was a pity that the Taoist master didn't like him, and always had an indescribable indifference towards him.

Among the rudder masters in the Tao, his position is very awkward.

On his lips, he said that he was loyal to the Taoist master and willing to do his best, but when the Taoist master had an accident, he was the first person to turn against Pei Wuji.

Of course, Pei Wuji would not refuse such a "knowledgeable" person.

The strife between factions killed many people, and many sub-rudders were purged by Pei Wuji.The originally tense territory in Daozhong was vacated a lot, and the Jianghuai area was assigned to Cao Xin.

So counting, Cao Xin should be the most proud of the current sub-rudder masters.

The status of the two envoys on the left and right of Jian Tianya in the Dao is second only to the Dao Master, but now Cao Xin dares to speak to Yao Qing so rudely, which has explained the special situation in the Dao of Demons to a certain extent.

If it was normal, Yao Qing would have shot the poisonous dart in the past.

But it can't work now, Pei Wuji is in power in the Tao, and she doesn't have the ability to kill people under his nose.

His chest heaved a little, and his breathing was a little constricted.

Yao Qing cursed secretly in his heart, but forced back the surging killing intent, and said to Cao Xin with a subterranean smile: "What kind of temper is Taoist, Cao Duozhu shouldn't be deeply Do you understand? He even refuses to talk to someone as shrewd and tactful as you, the helmsman, so how can he condescend to talk to me? If you suspect that I am lying, you can ask the brothers who were with me that day."

"you!"

Her words were harsh, and when Cao Xin heard it, how could she not feel that she was satirizing herself with the old hot face sticking cold butt?

A face almost immediately turned into a pig's liver, and it turned into anger from embarrassment!

"Ask them? Who doesn't know that those little guys are your confidantes? Naturally, they say what you say! You said that the Lord is still alive, but can you provide evidence?!"

The entire Hanjue summit was silent.

Everyone's eyes fell on Cao Xin, and they could almost guess what he would say next.But the person under the steps ahead didn't speak, so they naturally thought that the other person had acquiesced to everything Cao Xin said.

It can even be said that Cao Xin's actions were all inspired by him!

Yao Qing has a bad temper.

But that doesn't mean she's brainless.

As soon as Cao Xin said this, she immediately turned cold: "What does Cao Ruozhu mean by this?!"

"What do you mean?" Cao Xin sneered, and went forward directly, "A few days ago, the Taoist leader led the right way to hunt down Pengshan Na Gu Zhao. He was already seriously injured and fled to Bukong Mountain. But you said that the Lord appeared to rescue at a critical moment. After killing you, not only are you safe and sound, but your skills have also improved! Yao Youshi really thinks that I am a fool? I’m afraid you don’t know what evil intentions you have hidden, and you made up such nonsense to disturb the hearts of our soldiers, don’t have some sinister plots!”

"The surname is Cao!"

Yao Qing raised his brows tremblingly, already on the verge of exploding.

But Cao Xin didn't stop.

The more he said it, the louder his voice was, and he pointed at Yao Qing and questioned him!

"What? I'm guilty, and I'm right?! Everyone knows what day it is today: In the past few years, which of the Daoist affairs, big or small, has not been handled by Zuo Zuo? Something happened to the Lord, although we are deeply saddened, but there are so many things on Jiantianya, how can there be no Lord for a day? Yao Youshi knows that Pei Zuoshi's promotion to the position of Daoist Master is expected by everyone, but he wants to make up the truth that the Daoist Master is safe Rumors about him are tormented!"

Yao Qing was too angry to speak.

Cao Xin's face was full of pride, because he knew that Yao Qing could not refute, let alone make a move, so he was extremely arrogant.

When he was free to speak, he quietly glanced at Pei Wuji in front of him, and seeing that Pei Wuji just stood there and did not refute, he felt that the other party had acquiesced in all his actions, and felt more encouraged in his heart.

As a result, the words in his mouth became more tricky and hypocritical.

"Cao knows that because Pei Zuo envoy took the position of Zuo envoy, you, Yao You envoy, who was originally Zuo envoy, have a lot of dissatisfaction with Pei Zuo envoy. Those who are capable live. Everyone has seen Pei Zuoshi's ability in these years, so can't he be the Taoist master?!"

"Who doesn't want Taoist Master to be okay?"

"I hope too. If one death can change the Taoist Lord safe and sound, I, Cao, will die!"

This is just an assumption.

When Cao Xin said it, he didn't feel guilty at all.Because he knew that his next sentence would be "but it's impossible".

The purpose of all the words is just to take advantage of the opportunity of today's big gathering to assist Pei Wuji to sit on the position of Taoist master and make a great contribution.

So, how could he lose his benefits in the future?

As long as he thought about it, he felt his heart boil.

At this moment, the following words were almost blurted out, and he just raised his arms and yelled and begged Pei Zuoshi to take charge of the demon way and ascend to the position of Taoist master.

But who would have thought that the moment he opened his mouth and was about to speak!

A familiar voice, like a curse, like a nightmare, unexpectedly sounded from behind him, from outside Han Jueding!

Creepy!

"Oh?"

There is a slight rise in the ending, which seems to be a little interesting, but when it goes deeper, it feels full of biting cold!

"I don't hesitate to die! Cao Ruozhu is so loyal, it seems that the Taoist master in Japan has treated him poorly..."

On Yao Qing's originally tense face due to anger, infinite surprises immediately bloomed.

She turned around and looked over.

But the rest of the people standing on the top of the cold shuddered in unison, and what's more, their legs went limp, and they collapsed to the ground in fright, as if they had no bones in their bodies, and they couldn't climb any more. Can't get up!

this sound...

How could they not hear it?

In the past ten years, it has grown from green to mature, from tense to calm, and it will always sound above their heads, always sound at this extremely cold height, and always sound at the top of that step!

The owner of this voice controls their life and death, dominates the entire demon world, and thus affects the overall situation of the entire rivers and lakes and the world...

Turn over your hands to make clouds, and cover your hands to make rain!

A word is like a life and death order; a word is like a judge's pen!

They rarely even dared to look directly at him, so their voices towards him became more and more profound.It seems that the ups and downs of the voice and the change of the timbre have been deeply melted into every pore and every inch of their bones...

Once heard, only—

Bow down!

The smile on Cao Xin's face hadn't even had time to break out. At this moment, the two were so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a "plop", with cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

He wants to say something.

But when he opened his mouth, he realized that his tongue was trembling and curling, but he couldn't make any sound.

"pat, pat..."

The footsteps were slow.

Walked over like a leisurely stroll.

But everyone heard it in their ears, and felt that their heartbeats were controlled by it, one click, one click, beating violently!

Yao Qing was the first to knelt down and bowed: "My subordinates pay homage to the Taoist master and welcome the Taoist master back!"

Her clear and sharp voice echoed in the hollowed mountainside, contrasting with the terrifying silence on the top of Hanjue.

At this moment, everyone's heart is struggling.

Shen Du walked over step by step from the outside, although he didn't glance at these people, he could clearly understand their panic and fear at the moment.

Those who knelt silently were all his subordinates.

The floor was covered with his favorite Persian rug.

He was already used to sitting on the throne on the front steps.

So walking here, he didn't panic at all.

here--

It is his demon way.

Passing by Yao Qing, he just casually raised his hand to signal her to get up, but his eyes didn't stay on her, not even the arrogant Cao Xin just now.

Shen Du's eyes only fell on the front.

When he walked in step by step, the figure standing under the steps had already turned around, just watching him approaching quietly.

This was the first time he looked at Pei Wuji from this angle.

In the past, he always sat on that high throne, looked down at him from above, or watched him bow his head in front of him, or drank Wangyou water, and didn't want to remember anything when his consciousness was fuzzy.

So I didn't realize that he was already so tall.

He was slightly taller than him by an inch.

The youthful spirit faded away, and the person standing under the steps was a calm young man.

The bit of ferocity tainted by the killing between the brows and eyes was very similar to Shen Du himself, but in comparison, it added a bit of condensed and obscure coldness.

Most of the time, he is quiet.

Like a beast hiding in the dark.

He has a strong body full of scars, with a fierce and hot explosive power inside, but his appearance is like a silent and cold black stone and ancient well.

Cold and fiery intertwined.

contradiction.

Just like the way he looked at him at this moment, there was a mixture of sadness and joy, as if he was finally relieved, but also as if he had fallen into the abyss of pain again. He wanted to struggle, but he was willing to sink.

Shen Du stood still and looked at him.

The two were separated by six feet.

However, Pei Wuji walked towards him slowly, one step, two steps, three steps, and arrived in front of him.

The sharp long eyebrows stretched out, and a pair of dark eyes seemed to be full of starlight.

Obviously not smiling, but it gives people a sense of happiness.

His tightly pursed lips parted slowly, and his protruding Adam's apple rolled up and down. Looking at Shen Du, he almost thought he was in a dream, and even the voice that called him was in an illusory trance: "Taoist... "

"Snapped!"

The hoarse voice didn't even have time to say more in the future!

Shen Du glanced at him almost calmly, and in front of everyone on Han Jue Ding, directly raised his hand and slapped him hard on the face!

Caught off guard, Pei Wuji almost staggered and was about to fall!

Yao Qing was stunned.

Cao Xin was also stunned.

From far and near, everyone was stunned!

Everyone knew that Pei Wuji was Shen Du's dog, but they had never seen Shen Du embarrass Pei Wuji in front of everyone, and they always taught them privately.
