Poor Monk

Yongjiaguan is not very far from the place where Yaomo Dao is located, and it takes more than a day's journey to get there.After taking the order, Pei Wuji didn't say anything else, and he didn't do anything secretly. He really took his former confidants to intercept the legendary descendant of the martial arts saint.

Seeing Yao Qing, it was somewhat complicated.

After all, she has also witnessed how Pei Wuji has climbed from a floating weed-like kid to his current high status over the years.There is scheming, and there are skills.Although he lacks a lot in martial arts, he only practiced martial arts at the age of fifteen or sixteen, which is already much slower than ordinary people. To be able to practice to this level, he must have put in a lot of hard work.

Unfortunately, it was a wrong decision.

"What do you think of my decision this time?"

Shen Du probably saw Yao Qing's floating mood, so he just stood up from his seat, walked to the edge of Guyue Pavilion, looked at the surrounding mountains and clouds, and asked in a faint voice.

Yao Qing pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You made this decision for Pei Zuo's sake. Since the first rebellion happened, these people under his command are his capable generals, and a bad intention may not be able to dispel it." , and secondly, they will not do their best for the Demon Dao if they have previous convictions. In the final analysis, it is useless to keep them. If they can let the surname Gu teach them a lesson this time, it may also reduce their strength. In this way, cut off Once Pei Zuoshi has the confidence to make trouble again, it will naturally eliminate the possibility of such a thing again, so you don't have to think about dealing with him anymore."

After all, Yao Qing still felt that Shen Du treated Pei Wuji a little unusually.

But Shen Du laughed after hearing this.

How could she know the relationship between him and Gu Zhao?

Gu Zhao's martial arts is also famous in the world, although he may not be able to beat him, but it is easy to bring a group of people to deal with Pei Wuji and his subordinates.

It can be said that [-]% of the people who go there will die there.

But Shen Du would not tell Yao Qing about this.

After hearing Yao Qing's guess, he was silent for a moment, turned his eyes, and only caught a glimpse of Cui Hong walking on the other side of the mountain road, so he didn't say any more, just said: "Your guess is reasonable. But Gu It is clear that this person has a deceitful temperament, just as you said, he is definitely not someone to get along with, let people pay more attention to the news outside, and always report to me."

"Yes."

Having said that, Yao Qing knew that he could retire.

It was only when she turned around to leave after saluting that she raised her eyes and saw Cui Hong waiting beside her, she was slightly stunned for a moment.

The Guyue Pavilion on Jiantianya is a long road, carved out of stones one by one. At this moment, Cui Hong is standing at the bottom, with the clouds rolling behind him, and the robe on his body is the green color of the distant mountains.

When she looked over, Cui Hong was also looking at her.

When the two approached, they both had nothing to say to each other. They glanced at each other, nodded, and then passed each other.

Cui Hong walked up the long stone steps to the Guyue Pavilion, and before she could speak, she heard Shen Du laughing, and said, "I thought you wouldn't take the initiative to come to me, but I didn't expect you to wait here today."

"The Taoist master looks at the world and always predicts things like a god."

Cui Hong's face froze slightly, and when she looked up, she saw Shen Du holding his hand and walking down from the side of the pavilion.

In the front is a precipitous and lonely road on the cliff. The real "Jiantian Cliff" is at the end of the dangerous road, which is the best scenery here.

In my impression, that seems to be Shen Du's favorite place to stay.

From a long time ago, Shen Du was still the only son of the old Taoist master. When he was still young, he liked to go there alone.If you can't find anyone in normal times, you can always see them there.

He didn't think deeply about it before, but looking at Shen Du's back now, a question that had been buried for a long time but didn't attract his attention in the past suddenly surfaced quietly——

Shen Du was always cowardly when he was young, why did he always stay in Jiantianya?

Since he was cowardly, how did he cross the steep road from Guyue Pavilion to Jiantianya?

"Actually, the one who felt that I couldn't do anything back then was you, Cui Hong, right?" On the narrow path of the cliff that was only a few feet away, Shen Du walked calmly, as if he was stepping on flat ground. I think you should be surprised."

Surprises are real.

To be exact, everything that Shen Du did in the past ten years almost subverted his cognition, so that in the past ten years, Cui Hong always wondered if she had misjudged the person.

But today, I feel that I am not mistaken.

He followed behind Shen Du, and his cultivation base was not as strong as Shen Du's, so he was a little cautious in his steps, and the same in his words: "At the beginning, everyone thought you were cowardly and timid, too benevolent, and not worthy of great responsibility. Subordinate It's the same. Today, you have done a lot of things that are more ruthless and incomprehensible than others imagined. My subordinates really feel unexpected when they watch you grow up. But their thoughts It has not changed, even though it seems to have become a big devil in the past ten years, human nature will not change. It is not a good thing for you to control the way of demons."

"pat..."

The footsteps stopped slightly, and the gravel on the narrow path below was stepped on, and a piece fell down, piercing through the heavy clouds and mist below, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Shen Du turned around to look at Cui Hong, without a smile on his face: "So you still think that Dongfang Ji is better than me, right?"

Oriental halberd.

It's been a long time since I heard this name on Jiantianya.

From the day when Shen Du ascended to the position of the Lord of the Demon Dao, this name has become a taboo.If anyone mentions it carelessly, scolds and punishes it frequently, gradually no one dares to mention it.

But now, it was Shen Du himself who said it.

At this moment, Cui Hong was somewhat in a trance.

He even felt that time went back to ten years ago, Shen Du was still the cowardly and shy boy, and above him was a senior brother named Dongfang Ji, who acted boldly and boldly, but also smart and wise, as a demon should be. He is as capable as he is scheming, and he is also very good to the brothers in the Tao.

It's just that this illusion lasted only for a moment, and then disappeared.

The old Taoist master and his wife are gone, and Dongfang Ji was seriously injured by Shen Du, and he fled far away, and hasn't returned to the Demon Dao for ten years...

"Back then he escaped with serious injuries and left Jiantianya. People outside said he was beaten to death by me, but you and I both knew that he still had one life to live that night. The roots escaped from the sky."

Shen Du stared at the abyss under his feet, his voice was as ethereal as a cloud.

"He and I have always been at odds, you die and you live. Cui Hong, how dare you ask Pei Wuji to match him and turn against me?"

hula...

The gust of wind from the abyss below suddenly swept in, making Shen Du's dark and gloomy robe flutter, and there was a bit of calm murderous intent hidden in the bewitching sixteen-day demon pattern.

Cui Hong thought about it, Shen Duxing was smart by nature, sooner or later he would guess something from all kinds of clues.But he thought that when he picked it up heavily on the top of Hanjue and put it down lightly, it would be regarded as turning a major issue into a minor matter and uncovering the matter in one stroke.

Unexpectedly, it was so unexpected that it was brought up today!

At this time, he couldn't answer, and his brain, which was always bright, couldn't find a reason for himself that could convince Shen Du in time.

Shen Du looked at him steadfastly, and raised the corners of his lips: "If you weren't Cui Hong, and you didn't watch me grow up, and I called you 'uncle' when you were young, when you couldn't answer just now, I would have already Throwing you over here. Do you know what's down here in the abyss?"

"Subordinates don't know."

Cui Hong's fingers hanging by her side were quietly clenched.

Facing Shen Du today, he is far from being as calm as before.Because the person in front of him was moody and angry, it was not uncommon for him to kill someone while talking and laughing.

Seeing his guarded appearance, Shen Du didn't care. He just started walking again, and walked up the cliff over there along the narrow path that was so narrow that he would fall if he made a wrong step.

Talk while walking.

"Below this abyss is a deep valley, full of rotten bones. There are no vegetation, no birds and animals, some only have a clear water, a few poisonous insects, and a "Liuhe Shenjue"..."

"..."

Liuhe Divine Art? !

Originally, these were just the most common words, and even these four words followed his words, which was an understatement, as if they were no different from the "clear water" and "poisonous insects" in front of him, but the moment he heard it clearly, Cui Hong I just felt a "buzz" in my head, and it exploded all at once!

The abyss under Jiantian Cliff has always been a place where demons dispose of corpses.From ancient times to the present, countless merchants who came and went, or righteous disciples who attacked the way of demons, died here.

But no living person has ever known what it looks like below.

Maybe someone fell alive, but they never saw the person climb up from below alive.

If there is Senluo Hell in the world, what Cui Hong can think of is nothing more than this abyss.

However, at this moment, at this moment, Shen Du, who is a demon Taoist master, even opened his mouth and described what it looked like under Jiantianya, and also mentioned Liuhe Shenjue!

So an unprecedented possibility suddenly popped up.

All Cui Hong could think of was that 12 years ago, the young Shen Du disappeared for three whole days, and he couldn't even find anyone on Jiantianya, which made everyone on the demon road very anxious.

It wasn't until three days later that the crowd in the chaos saw him come back from nowhere and appear on the top of Han Jue in a ragged and embarrassing suit.

He smiled and told people that he was playful and got lost.

The old Taoist was so angry that he even beat him, and told his disciple Dongfang Ji to take good care of this junior...

At that time, what was Dongfang Ji, who was also young, looking like?

Cui Hong actually felt that she couldn't remember clearly.

He raised his eyes, only to see that Shen Du had already stood on the flat and protruding rock at the end of the Judao, and the blazing sunlight fell from the height, making his face look as pale as when he was a boy.

"Yongjiaguan is not far ahead. This is the place we must pass through to return to Pengshan. The news has spread. I'm afraid the road is not very stable. Let's stop and repair it."

The flat official road just entered a flat canyon.

Gu Zhao, who was riding on a snow-white steed, waved his hand lightly, signaling the people behind him to stop, while he got off the horse first.

Lou Zhang, with a timid and sickly face, followed behind him. It seemed that he was not good at riding a horse on weekdays, so when he came down from the top, his movements were clumsy and his legs were still shaking.

There are many people behind him who are quietly looking at him.

Few of these people are disciples of Pengshan, and most of them gathered together when they went to Tianji Temple to encircle Shen Du, the Taoist master Shen Du.

When Gu Zhao "discovered" Lou Zhang, he said a lot of high-sounding words to uphold the righteousness. In order to prevent the descendants of Wu Sheng from being robbed by villains, he sincerely invited his colleagues from all over the world to escort him.

Who can refuse the temptation of the three-volume Buddhist collection?

This is the descendant of Wu Sheng!

Although he is currently being protected by Gu Zhao, the number one immortal in Pengshan, how can he know what will happen in the future?Everyone may not have the opportunity to get their hands on the Buddhist treasure, but they can pretend to protect and follow all the way, and get some news for their sect, they can still do it.

That's why they gathered into this mighty team.

Along the way, they were observing this descendant of the martial arts sage named "Lou Zhang", and they could easily detect that this man had no strength to restrain a chicken, and his body was really weak, just like Lu Feixian back then.

Seeing his poor appearance when he dismounted now, many people feel disdainful.

But at the same time as being underestimated, his mind became active: Lou Zhang is such a useless body, I am afraid that even if he got the Buddhist treasure, he would not be able to practice, right?Then...

People are different, and their minds are also different.

Gu Zhao took off the water bag tied to the saddle, walked around the deep valley and secluded stream, bent over to fetch water.The blue robes set off against the clear spring water, and there was a sense of immortality in every demeanor.

Just at the moment of bending over, his brows were slightly frowned.

A few days ago in Yiyang City, he had a disagreement with Shen Du and turned his hand, and because of that dirty and obscene thought, he was stabbed through the shoulder by the other party. For him, it was a big loss that he had rarely suffered in these years.

Others can't see it, but he himself is clear.

Shen Du, the bastard, was very ruthless in his strikes, not to mention he was still offended by him at the time, this sword could at most save his life, but it was not considered to be merciful.

Although the Chuihong Sword is not a magic weapon, it is also extremely sharp, and the wound it caused was extremely deep. In the past few days, he has been on the road continuously, and he can't even find a suitable time for healing and recovery.

Thinking of this, a layer of gloom appeared in his eyes.

It's just that when he got up and turned his head to look at the crowd, this layer of gloom dissipated completely, instead reflecting the surrounding clear water and green mountains, which was kind of clean without dust.

Some people sat down and started talking about the incident in Tianji Temple.

"Did that big devil really do it?"

"Does it need to be said? Who else in the world would dare to do such a thing except this cruel, arrogant and domineering devil?"

"Yes, I heard that Hui Seng Shanzai is still tired of this matter..."

"Hey, you said that things have become so big, are the three volumes of Buddhist collections really in Shen Du's hands?"

"That's impossible to say."

"Tianji Temple didn't mention the Buddha's Treasure at all. I wondered what happened. Could it be that the Buddha's Treasure has been lost, but those bald donkeys are afraid of the world's condemnation and dare not speak up?"

"possible."

"But it still doesn't feel right..."

"Hey, why are you thinking so hard? Well, Mr. Gu, the descendants of Wu Sheng are here! I'm afraid I will take him to Bukong Mountain to get the essence of martial arts left by Wu Sheng and his old man, and the truth will be revealed by then." Don't you understand?"

……

Everyone's discussions were detailed and detailed, and Gu Zhao heard them clearly.

But Lou Zhang didn't participate, he didn't make a sound, walked over from the side with a pale face and panting, and stood close to Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao glanced at him, but didn't speak.

Lou Zhang seemed to be a little afraid of him, but considering the recent rumors about the three-volume Buddhist collection, he still opened his mouth with some doubts: "Young master, now everyone says that Shen Du has stolen three volumes. Fozang, we..."

"Other people's comments are other people's comments. Whether it is true or not, we have to wait and see."

In fact, Gu Zhao may not have no doubts in his heart, but he is different from others, because he and Shen Du still have cooperation on Buddhist treasures.

If Shen Du had already stolen the Buddhist treasure, why bother to cooperate with him on the matter of the descendants of Wu Sheng?

And he has evaluated goodness in front of him.

The original words were, "You and I fight together, maybe we can beat it".

You must know that people like Shen Du have always had their eyes above the top, and it is as difficult as heaven to get half of his approval without any real material.

But he gave Shanzai such a high evaluation.

This proves that this bald donkey called Shanzai must be very powerful, and Shen Du has suffered a lot.

In this way, in terms of common sense, with Shen Du's ability, it is impossible to steal the three volumes of Buddhist treasures from such a good hand.

Thinking about it like this, Gu Zhao remembered what he had agreed with Shen Du, looked up at the position of the sun, calculated the time, his eyes flickered slightly, and said: "As long as he sends someone to come as promised If he robs you, the Buddhist treasure must not be in his hands."

After hearing this, Lou Zhang was thoughtful.

Regarding the relationship between the young master and Shen Du, he just felt that he could not understand it very well, after all he was not Tong Bo, and he had never had much contact with the young master.It's just that in the deep alleys of Yiyang City that day, he also listened to what he shouldn't have heard...

But at the moment, there are too many people with mixed eyes, so I dare not ask more questions.

A group of people lingered here for a while to recuperate, and then went back on the road after noon, waiting to go to Yongjia Pass.Unexpectedly, what Gu Zhao said earlier really came true. Just when he saw the shadow of Yongjiaguan from a distance, a group of uninvited guests with swords suddenly appeared on the official road ahead!

In an instant, the figures flew like flying!

Those who came to rob people were all masters. After they entered this section of the road, they surrounded them back and forth, blocking everyone's escape route!

The crowd was shocked.

Only Gu Zhao reined his horse in front of him, his brows that were painted with ink and brush were slightly raised, and there was a faint sneer on his lips.

Tsk, Shen Du is quite willing.

This time it was Pei Wuji that idiot who was sent by him to die.
