farce a ups and downs

The place close to the sky is surrounded by clouds and mist, peaks are inserted in it, and flying cranes are surrounded.

The name of this mountain, even for a moment.

The Xuyu Gate stretches across the top of the mountain and has a history of a hundred years. Compared with the Xiehua Palace left in the bustling market, it is more like the residence of the sword fairy. However, the founder of the mountain is a Buddhist disciple. No wonder the name of the sect is so Zen. .

The original meaning of the name of the school is to dare to change the world in an instant.

However, someone once deliberately distorted it: "I took the name from 'Huidang Lingjueding', which means climbing to the extreme, even in a moment? Isn't it the time to see flowers and grass on the way to climb, and forget it after passing by?"

No one would have dared to say this a hundred years ago, but today, even He Zhixiao, who has always wanted to quarrel with someone, can’t help agreeing: “Compared to when the door was opened, the Xuyu Gate is indeed in decline now. "

To say it's down is an understatement.

Shen Feiyu looked around, there were no trails on the mountain, and weeds were everywhere. It can be seen that people on the mountain seldom go down the mountain, and the people on the mountain are the same.

This says a lot.

Lost contact with the outside world, no business exchanges, no news, maybe life is not very good, it can be predicted that the situation in the door is no different from the current Lingjue faction.

No, the Lingjue faction has not cut off contact with the world at the bottom of the mountain. Could it be that the Xuyan sect is a savage determined to fend for itself?

If it hadn't been known in advance that the Xuyu Gate had colluded with bandits, Shen Feiyu might have thought that it was normal for the gate to not know what happened down the mountain.

After rushing for half a day, even using the lightness kung fu, I managed to reach the Xuyu Gate before the sun set. From a distance, the dusk shrouded the entire Xuyu Gate, revealing a corner of black tiles, from top to bottom, dark blue slate bricks The edges and corners have been worn very round by the years. In the distance, there are several disciples dressed in dark blue school costumes sweeping the floor. The more you look at it, the more you feel the simplicity and mystery of this school.

As soon as the two approached, the gatekeeper immediately drew his sword and pointed: "Who is coming?"

"I'm the head of the Lingjue faction, and I'm here for the unknown swordsman."

A few months ago, an unknown swordsman killed two disciples in the Xuyu Sect. Because of this, the sect master was furious and sent people down the mountain to hunt down the swordsman with Xiehua Palace.

Hearing this, the disciple guarding the gate did not let down his vigilance, "Wait for me to report to the gate master before making a decision."

Luo Wenchu ​​nodded slightly: "Thank you."

Soon, the disciple who informed him ran over and bowed with his sword: "Master Luo, the master of the sect invites you."

Different from the layout of the Lingjue sect, there are thousands of turns inside the Xuyu Gate, and there are no less than [-] halls passing by along the way, and the corridors are winding. Unless someone leads the way, it is impossible to know where the road leads.

"My little brother," Luo Wenchu ​​called to stop him, and pointed at him, "What happened to the white smoke rising from the south?"

The disciple leading the way raised his eyes, his complexion changed, and he hurriedly said: "The sect master is waiting for Sect Master Luo at the end of this road, and please ask Sect Master Luo to go by himself."

Seeing Luo Wenchu ​​holding the folding fan in his hand, Shen Feiyu asked curiously: "What did Master find?" According to his observation, his master took out the fan only at two times, one was about to hit someone, and the other was to pretend ...cough cough.

Right now, no matter how you look at it, it is the first situation.

"Too vigilant."

"Ok?"

After being reminded by him, Shen Feiyu noticed that there were not many disciples coming and going in the Xumen Sect, but most of them kept their eyes straight, their faces were solemn, their hands were on the hilt of their swords, and they walked like flying. Luo Wenchu ​​tried to strike up a conversation, but the other party just bowed Then walk away quickly.

"Could it be because of the nameless swordsman?"

The nameless swordsman took the lives of two disciples in the sect and managed to escape. It makes sense that the disciples in the sect are always facing the enemy.However, Luo Wenchu ​​denied this point of view.

"This kind of vigilance is more like doing something shady."

Therefore, it is necessary to be vigilant at all times in order to deal with various emergencies.

Luo Wenchu ​​warned: "No matter what happens in a while, it must be within five steps of the teacher."

"Yes."

The two came to the room at the end of the road, and the disciples outside the door went in to inform them, and they were welcomed in after a while.Before entering the door, Luo Wenchu ​​glanced to the south.

The rising white smoke has stopped.

The incense burner is lit in the house, and the elegant and light aroma can help soothe the body and calm the heart.There were no extraordinary decorations in the house, and it was even simpler than Luo Wenchu's living room. Only a picture of a white dragon drinking water hanging on the wall attracted Shen Feiyu's attention.

"This painting was painted by a painter in the previous dynasty. I found it by accident. It is very suitable for my eyes. Why, this young man is also a person who likes to paint?" When speaking, it is difficult to give birth to a trace of evil.

"Master Chen." It wasn't until Luo Wenchu ​​uttered that Shen Feiyu came back to his senses and bowed down.

"Sect Master Luo is really as rumored, Zhilan Yushu, unruly and unrestrained."

"Where is it, Clan Master Chen is also handsome and talented."

Shen Feiyu: "..."

After finishing the formalities, Chen Xuan expressed his doubts: "I don't know why Sect Master Luo came here this time?"

"Master Chen is a straightforward person, and Luo is not polite to you. If you dare to ask Master Chen, Lianhua Village at the foot of the mountain was robbed by bandits three times a year. Do you know about this?"

Chen Xuan was surprised: "There is such a thing?"

Luo and Chen observed carefully, and found that his expression did not seem to be fake, and they were even more puzzled.

Then Chen Xuan sighed, and said embarrassingly: "It's ashamed to say this, Chen doesn't want to hide it, and I hope that Master Luo will keep it a secret for Chen."

It means to tell you not to talk about it after listening, Luo Wenchu ​​chuckled: "It's easy to say."

"It's like this. Because of the unknown swordsman, the disciples in the sect are panicked. Please resign from those who have left the sect. There are no fewer than ten people in this month. If you say it, you are not afraid of the jokes of the head of Luo. There are more than a hundred disciples in the sect. Chen takes care of himself," he said, raising his sleeves and wiping his tears, "but until today, the sect has long been unable to sustain itself, and it is really unable to cope with other things. Before the master died, the master handed over the sect to Chen, seeing that the former glory of the sect is about to come to an end. If it ends in Chen's hands, after a hundred years, how can I have the face to go down to meet his old man!"

Just one sentence: no one has no money, and let me care about other things?You can pull it down!

Shen Feiyu gasped in shock.

I used to think that my master was very thick-skinned, but after seeing Senior Xie and Senior Chen, I realized that Master is really a clear stream among the leaders of all martial arts sects. Look at Senior Chen in front of me, crying so naturally, the forbearance and bitterness in it The expression is just right, and those who don't know may be really bluffed.

Luo Wenchu ​​kept Bafeng's smile still: "Master Chen, are you done crying?"

Chen Xuan hiccupped: "Crying, crying is over."

"Then Luo asked one more question. Did Clan Master Chen come into contact with a boy named Duoduo who came down from the mountain. He is the grandson of Lianhua Village and came to ask for help."

"Never..."

"Maybe the disciples of the sect have contacted it, but the master of the sect doesn't know?"

Chen Xuan's complexion changed: "Chen is going to check the door strictly now, it's getting late, you two might as well rest here for a night, and we will give you a satisfactory answer tomorrow."

"It's work."

The room Chen Xuan arranged for the master and apprentice was the northernmost one. After the young disciple who led the way led the people, he left in a hurry. The two checked the room for suspicious things, used the dry food they had prepared, and cleaned their teeth. After the interview, get ready for bed.

There are two beds in the room, in order to prevent changes in the night, both of them have not undressed, only wearing their coats, just when Shen Feiyu blew out the oil lamp and was about to fall asleep, he turned around and found that Luo Wenchu ​​ran onto his bed at some time, beautiful Its name is: "Warming the bed for disciples is a compulsory course for every good master."

The corner of Shen Feiyu's mouth twitched, and he walked straight to the other bed.

As soon as he took a step, his waist tightened, and he was thrown onto the not-so-soft bed.Luo Wenchu ​​turned over and pressed down, "Within five steps, Feiyu forgot?"

"..."

"Don't worry, the teacher will abide by the etiquette before we report the matter between you and me to the father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Strictly abide by etiquette?Recalling what happened in the forest during the day, Shen Feiyu smiled instead of anger.

"Master."

"Ok?"

"Look down."

So Luo Wen first tasted the sweetness that he longed for when he was young.

"Feiyu, do you know that this is trying to lure the teacher into breaking the ceremony?" Even though he said that, his tone couldn't hide his surprise.

Shen Feiyu stretched out her arms, and said with a smile: "This is called indecent assault."

When Luo Wenchu ​​heard the words, he buried himself in Shen Feiyu's neck, his deep laughter burst out, and he hugged the person in his arms tightly.

A good night's dream.

On the second day, Chen Xuan really asked to find out a young disciple from the sect, and brought him in front of the two masters and apprentices. After talking like this, the general meaning was that this young disciple had received a lot of "assistance money" privately. , but didn't report the matter. After that, where Duoduo went, I don't know.

Chen Xuan showed enough sincerity, "If the two of you think it's not enough, Chen can ask the disciple to go down the mountain with you and apologize to the villagers in person."

But there were too many, and Chen Xuan couldn't give them.

Looking at the innocent little disciple kneeling on the ground, Luo Wenchu ​​knew that it was impossible to really bring him down the mountain. In the end, the two of them went up the mountain and went down the mountain.

"Leader Luo stay for a while," Chen Xuan chased after him from a distance, "The road down the mountain is not easy, let Chen send his disciples to send you two down the mountain."

"It's work."

The road down the mountain is not the same as the road up the mountain. The disciples of Xuyu Sect led the way, and the two masters and apprentices walked on the path paved with bricks and stones. They walked around the mountain twice yesterday but did not find this hidden mountain road.

It's just that Shen Feiyu was a little confused: "Why do you build roads along the cliff?"

The disciple who led the way was stunned for a moment, and realized that the other party was asking him something. He blinked, and his ignorance made people unconsciously soften his heart. This disciple seemed to be a few years younger than Shen Feiyu, and he had a younger brother at home. The tone of the elder brother came: "This road existed before you started?"

The little disciple murmured and shook his head.

The years in the mountains were really boring, and I'm afraid they won't taste much. Shen Feiyu's eyes were soft, and he took out a handful of pine nut candies from his pocket, "Go back and give it to the brothers and sisters in the sect."

The little disciple happily took it, and thanked him crisply.

"I mean," Luo Wenchu ​​approached, and said sourly in a tone of "other children have candy", "Feiyu is so sweet, so it turns out that he brought candy with him."

Shen Feiyu rolled her eyes: "Today's breakfast is multigrain pancakes?"

"So what?"

"That's why the master carried vinegar with him, and the disciple smelled it."

Luo Wenchu: "..." Hey, this one has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth.

Little did they know that the little disciple's gaze was darting back and forth between the two of them, dimming a bit.

The few people kept a certain distance from the edge of the cliff, and when they were halfway up the mountain, a few darts suddenly flew out from the forest. The blades of grass wither quickly.

It's a poison dart.

Luo Wenchu ​​held out his folding fan, "Go behind me."

Shen Feiyu and the little disciple leaned back obediently, and the little disciple grabbed his sleeve.

"Don't be afraid." Shen Feiyu spoke to comfort him, and calmly protected the person in front of him.The cliff behind him was like a monster with its mouth wide open, eyeing Shen Feiyu covetously.

The people hiding behind the tree came out, no less than 20 people, all armed with sharp weapons, all dressed in black shorts, with a hint of madness in their brows, Luo Wenchu ​​thought: "Bandit?"

Someone whistled: "It's pretty good."

"Oh? So you also think that you are not a human being, but a commodity."

"You—" The bandit blushed and wanted to argue, but was stopped by the person beside him.

Judging from the respect the Bandit had for him, he was probably the leader of this group of people.

"Your Excellency is not afraid at all?"

Luo Wenchu ​​seemed to have heard something funny: "No matter how many people there are, it's just random hair."

He hasn't put these people in his eyes yet.

The bandit leader raised his eyebrows, but he didn't get angry, but Luo Wenchu's heart tightened because of his calm and composed appearance, and he felt a sudden surge of uneasiness.

"division……"

There is wind behind me.

Luo Wenchu ​​tilted his head when he heard the sound, and suddenly opened his eyes wide.

In the field of vision, the ignorant and soft little disciple of the Xumen Sect maintained a pushing posture, with a fierce look in his eyes, and the figure of his little disciple left only a white shadow on the iris, and then fell into the cliff, life and death I don't know.
