farce a ups and downs

Everyone was caught off guard by the sudden accident, and Shen Mingyu, who hadn't gone far, was even more ashamed when she saw this scene.Xu Guan pursed his lips, excused that the family had to leave in advance.

Across the crowd, Shen Mingyu and Shen Feiyu's eyes met, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Others may not know it, but as members of the Shen family, the two brothers know very well that the inside of the Sword Discourse Arena is actually made of the strongest black iron, which is impenetrable by water and fire. But now the Sword Discourse Arena suddenly collapsed before everyone's eyes. When the news got out, it would ruin Shen Zhuang's reputation. I'm afraid that someone with ulterior motives deliberately tricked him, and the follow-up method is unknown. Things that ruined the sword stage were enough for them to treat with caution.

Shen Minglang went to send the factions away, and was still on the way back, Shen Mingyu summoned a few servants, sent one to report to Shen Minglang, and said to the rest: "Order to block the village, not a single bird Fly out."

"But young master, doing so may cause dissatisfaction among many people."

"If anyone asks, they will say that the unknown swordsman has sneaked in." Shen Feiyu came to Shen Mingyu's side at some unknown time, "Given the love of each party's disciples, they won't say much."

As the eldest brother approached, Shen Mingyu took two deep breaths, and did not answer immediately, the servant saw that it was inconvenient to ask more questions, and took orders to retreat.

The order was issued within a quarter of an hour, and the entrances and exits of the entire Shenzhuang were strictly controlled. Even those who had just left the village were invited back. After listening to the reasons given by the servants, all sects and audiences, the original dissatisfaction Yue retreated, and cooperated with Shen Zhuang's servants' inspection. Occasionally, a few people were not convinced, and they were shot for a long time by others as "friends of unknown swordsmen", and they all calmed down.

When Shen Minglang rushed back, he was surprised to find that all the things in his mind had been properly dealt with. When he arrived at the Sword Discourse Stage, he suddenly saw two brothers standing side by side, as if they were discussing something. Shen Minglang's expression was blank for a moment, and then Then there was infinite warmth, and Shen Yu, who came a step behind him, saw this, but his face was ashen.

Shen Feiyu raised his eyes to meet Shen Yu's gaze, patted Shen Mingyu's shoulder, and retreated back to the Lingjue faction with interest.

When the investigation was completed, it was sunset time. The autumn sunset was cool and the night wind brought a little chill. Shen Mingyu took the coat handed over by the servant, and subconsciously glanced at the eldest brother, just in time to see Shen Feiyu standing side by side with Luo Wenchu As they spoke, the profiles of the two were coated with a layer of warm afterglow.As soon as Shen Mingyu stepped out, she took it back, put on her coat, and went to check with Shen Minglang on various matters.

After checking, no suspicious person was found. Shen Minglang wanted to check again himself, but many aristocratic families put pressure on him, so he had to open the village and let people go.

When the Qu family left, Shen Feiyu took a special look at Qu Rulin several times, but there was nothing wrong with the other party's behavior.

The Yang family also came today, taking advantage of the confusion, Yang Xian came to the side of the Ling Jue faction, noticed Shen Feiyu's gaze, and asked, "Do you doubt him?"

"Not sure." Just a weird feeling.

"I have a solution." A cunning flashed in Yang Xian's eyes.

"What are you going to do?" Shen Feiyu warned her, "Don't mess around."

When the enemy and the enemy are unknown, rash actions may scare the enemy.

Yang Xian blinked: "Don't worry, just leave it to me."

Having said that, when she returned to the inn, Shen Feiyu was still worried and talked to her master, preparing to go out.

Luo Wenchu ​​pulled him back: "I'll go with you." He listened to what Yang Xian and Shen Feiyu said today, since they met at the gate of the city, he never let go of his guard and suspicion towards Qu Rulin.

He Zhixiao looked at the two of them disapprovingly: "There will be a competition tomorrow, Shen Feiyu and you are the first one."

The three of them looked at each other in silence, at this moment, Shen Zhuang sent someone to say that due to the collapse of the Sword Discourse Arena, a new competition venue could not be opened for the time being, so tomorrow's competition will be postponed for one day.

He Zhixiao: "...What if you leave and what happened last night happened again? Brother, you must stay."

Luo Wenchu ​​frowned.

He Zhixiao: "I'll go with him."

The expressions of the master and apprentice are more exciting than the other.

After a long time, Luo Wenchu ​​said: "Bajie, are you serious?"

"...Don't call me that name." He Zhixiao gave him a gouged look, "Brother is the head of the sect, and he should protect the lives of the sect's disciples. For such a trivial matter, I'll just go."

"That's fine." On this point, Shen Feiyu and He Zhixiao had the same idea, "Master will stay....Actually, it's better for the disciple to go alone."

He Zhixiao stood up, "If you go alone, someone must worry about it, and I don't want to see him worry about it."

Someone showed a dumbfounding expression: "Forget it, go early and return early."

Outside the gate of Yang's mansion, Shen Feiyu learned that Yang Xian was not there, and said solemnly: "Has your second young lady ever been back?"

The guard at the door shook his head: "Miss hasn't come back today, but she has transferred ten guards from the house who are better at martial arts."

The last ray of light in the sky was replaced by darkness, and night fell.

Shen Feiyu searched along the street, anxious.Yang Xian can be called his first friend, if he knew this, he should have stopped him severely.

But with Yang Xian's temperament, the more she is told not to do it, the more restless she will be.

One hour passed, two hours passed... a faint night fog appeared on the street, the voices of pedestrians gradually disappeared, and the entire Liuzhou City fell into a mysterious silence.

He Zhixiao suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Shen Feiyu, and said concisely: "There is someone in front."

Even if the martial arts are useless, He Zhixiao is far more sensitive than ordinary people in terms of perceiving danger. Shen Feiyu stopped, and the two raised their heads at the same time. A stiff silhouette slowly appeared in the night mist. There was a clicking sound for two breaths, and then gradually moved away. go.

He Zhixiao looked at Shen Feiyu: "Chasing, or not chasing?"

The opponent released the puppets, most likely to lure them over, so as to catch a turtle in the urn.Shen Feiyu gritted her teeth and thought for a second, before resolutely saying, "Chasing, master uncle can go back to the inn first and tell master."

He Zhixiao's dark eyes stared at him right and wrong, his thin lips were pursed into a mean straight line, just when Shen Feiyu thought he would not agree, the other party suddenly said hello.Before they parted, He Zhixiao had a rare exhortation: "No matter what the situation is, take care of yourself first."

"Yes."

Following the click of the puppet, he came to an old courtyard house. When he pushed the door, he choked on the dust in Shen Feiyu's nose. Looking around in the moonlight, he found nothing suspicious. open.

This seems to be a woman's boudoir. On the dressing table, the dried grease exudes a rotten smell.

A black light flashed across the bronze mirror, and Shen Feiyu raised his arm in time to block it, but his arm was still numb from the blow. The puppet missed the hit and retreated quickly, disappearing into the room after a while.

Compared with last night's puppet, this puppet was on a higher level than last night's in terms of strength and speed. At least Shen Feiyu didn't see a control line on it.

The puppet did not appear for a long time, Shen Feiyu was vigilant while searching the room, waiting for an attack that might launch at any time.

After a stick of incense, the puppet quietly moved to the beam. The face without facial features looked particularly terrifying. It "stared" at the back of Shen Feiyu's head closely. When the other party completely exposed his back to it, the puppet raised its head. The wooden hand jumped down.

There was a sound of breaking through the air, and a black whip wrapped around the puppet in mid-air and threw it viciously towards the dressing table.

He Zhixiao's figure appeared by the door: "Didn't your master teach you not to expose your back to the enemy at any time?"

Shen Feiyu moved his hand away from the hilt of the sword calmly, "The disciple is taught."

Without asking He Zhixiao why he went and returned, the two discussed the big hole the puppet opened: "To enter, or not to enter?"

The same problem appeared a quarter of an hour ago.

Shen Feiyu's answer was the same as before: "Go in."

Before entering, Shen Feiyu pierced the puppet's head and chest with a sword, and faced He Zhixiao's puzzled gaze, he replied: "The power hubs that control the puppet's actions are usually in the brain and back."

"I know quite a lot."

"There are many related books at home, I read them when I have nothing to do, and I remember them."

Shen Feiyu skipped it vaguely, and He Zhixiao didn't ask too much. A family like Shenzhuang has a terrifyingly deep family background, and the other party has a wide range of interests. He was not surprised, but suddenly felt a little emotional: "If you don't come to the Lingjue School , what should it look like now?"

Shen Feiyu: "Uncle Shi, you need to know that there was no such assumption from the beginning."

He Zhixiao nodded and stopped talking.

Shen Feiyu lit the fire fold, and the faint light of the fire illuminated the deep passage, and what appeared in front of the two of them was a three-way road.

"It's too time-consuming to search like this. You and I each choose one."

Shen Feiyu agreed, and the two parted ways again.Not long after He Zhixiao left, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him, raised his lips and smiled: "You came to repay your favor so soon?"

The young man behind him said without changing his face, "The one chosen by the disciple is a dead end."

"You are very interesting."

"I don't know what will happen ahead. If there is another fork in the back of the fork in the road, there are only two of us, and it is impossible to check them all. It is better to choose a road and go to the dark." It’s good to have a care in the room.”

He Zhixiao said coldly: "Even if I don't have martial arts, it's not your turn to worry about it."

Shen Feiyu: "It is the disciple who has the cheek to seek the protection of the master."

In the past in the school, He Zhixiao never paid much attention to this little disciple, but now he realizes that he was mistaken.He Zhixiao had a sullen face, not knowing what he was thinking about.

The passage is getting wider and wider, and all kinds of traps are encountered during it, but none of them are dangerous.I don't know how long it took, the two finally came to an end.

The exit was on the stone wall, looking down, it was a deep pit, the fire pocket was about to burn out, He Zhixiao threw it down, the fire was extinguished in mid-air, and the peripheral light still couldn't illuminate the depth.

The two looked at each other without hope, and planned to go back the same way.

If you continue to walk, you may encounter some uncontrollable events. Although saving people is important, the premise is that you can't put yourself on the line.

"Who? Who is here?" A trembling call came from the bottom of the empty and silent pit, "I see the light, who is on it?"

Shen Feiyu recognized who the voice belonged to, "Yang Xian? Are you down here?"

"Feiyu!" Yang Xian exclaimed in surprise, "How did you find it?"

"Let's talk later, I'll come down to find you first."

The plan changed again, Shen Feiyu looked at the slope of the stone wall, and thought that if the master was here, he could go straight down with lightness kungfu, but he couldn't reach home with lightness kung fu, and couldn't estimate the distance from the bottom, so he might break his leg if he used lightness kung fu rashly.

"Uncle Master is in trouble." He took out a strong soft rope from his pocket, and He Zhixiao took it in disgust. Shen Feiyu pulled the rope and went down bit by bit. Finally, the rope was not long enough, and Shen Feiyu had to let go of it. Jump down.

Fortunately, it was not far from the bottom, and when it landed, it staggered a little, but at least it stabilized its figure.

The next second, the cold wind blew past, and when Shen Feiyu turned her head, she found that He Zhixiao had also come down.

The other party kindly explained: "There is a stone on the stone wall, and it is tied to the stone, so that it will be convenient to return to the same way later."

As soon as the voice fell, the rope fell.

He Zhixiao: "..."

It was lucky that he didn't fall from mid-air.
