When the boss becomes an attackable character

In the middle of the night, if there is a flute sound that seems to be absent, it comes to the ears again.

Xu Xiaofei still lives in the Tang family.Going to the Spirit Snake Palace this time, the Xiaoyao faction seemed to have seen through the plot of the Tang family. In order not to compete for merit, they only sent an elder and three disciples. Elder Gu also deliberately protected his disciples during the battle, so Xu Xiaofei No injuries at all.As for his good friend Tang Huaiying, he was not so lucky. He was seriously injured and needed to rest for a while.

He originally planned to leave for Mount Hua right now, in time for the last excitement of the Dao Discussion Conference.Tang Huaiying, who couldn't go there, insisted that he stay for two more days, and let him lead the way around the Tang family. Xu Xiaofei saw that he was pitiful, so he agreed.

At this moment, he was lying on the bed, listening to the soft and melodious sound of the flute.

I seem to have heard it before.Not on a few nights ago, but farther back, farther back.

Before the song was finished, he had already put on his clothes, put on his shoes and socks, rushed out of the room, and flew out.

Following the sound of the flute, he lightly landed on the wall of the most remote courtyard of the Tang family like a big bird, and the sound of the flute came from inside the wall.Although he didn't want to peek into the wall like a thief, the sound of the flute that sounded familiar gave him an urge to figure it out.

The moon is bright.

The fragrance of flowers floats in the wind.

The figure bowing his head and blowing the flute in the courtyard was thin and thin, with an air of indifference.

The sound of the flute suddenly stopped.

A voice as beautiful as the flute sound, but with a bit of indifference said: "Since you're here, why don't you come in?"

Xu Xiaofei was startled. The next moment, a golden talisman appeared on the courtyard wall, and a force surged in, pushing him into the courtyard.

The flute player had lowered his hand holding the flute and stood tall, but he didn't turn his eyes to look at him, but faced the lonely night.

Xu Xiaofei clasped his hands together and said, "Xu Xiaofei, a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, was invited by Tang Huaiying to stay in the Tang family for a few days. If you take the liberty of disturbing senior, I hope you will forgive me."

After a long silence, the man finally said, "Aren't you him?"

"Who is 'he'?" Xu Xiaofei was puzzled, "Is senior waiting for someone?"

Before he could answer, he saw Bai Ying criss-crossing, and the opponent used a jade flute as a weapon to attack him, with fierce moves, Xu Xiaofei quickly raised his sword to parry.

After ten tricks were removed with great difficulty, Xiao Ying suddenly disappeared, and the other party had withdrawn his hand.

"You really are not him. As far back as 60 years ago, he was stronger than you. Today, he will never have your skill."

Xu Xiaofei was even more curious: "Who is it that senior said?"

The other party didn't answer, and said to himself: "You said you are a disciple of Xiaoyao. But the sword technique you used just now is definitely not owned by the Xiaoyao Sect. Who taught you this sword technique?"

"I learned this sword technique from an old sword manual. I don't know who wrote the sword manual. Do you know?"

"That's right," the man sighed softly, "your voice is also very similar to his."

His voice gradually became more lonely: "I have been waiting for many years, only waiting for you... Could it be that I can't wait for him after all?"

Xu Xiaofei really didn't know how to answer his words.

He could only ask in confusion: "Let me take the liberty to ask, who is Senior?"

The other party did not avoid answering this time: "You said just now that you are Huaiying's friend? I am his second uncle."

Uncle?Xu Xiaofei was startled.

This seems to be the senior Tang Huaiying mentioned.

The young man became famous and won the second place in the Dao Discussion Conference that year, only losing to Shen Jinglan, but suddenly retired and disappeared——

Xu Xiaofei still remembers his name: Tang Xuanzhu.

Judging from the gestures he made just now, it seems that after he retired, he never stopped practicing.

"Tang Huaiying mentioned seniors to me," Xu Xiaofei said, "He said that seniors are a generation of heroes, and even his master admires seniors."

"His master, Tang Zixin?" Tang Xuanzhu shook his head, "It's just a mediocre talent that is not worth mentioning. Only in the new tea that is fried can you feel some spiritual energy."

He suddenly said again: "Little friend, can you see how many flowers of that tree hibiscus have bloomed?" He explained, "My eyes are blinded, and even my consciousness is a chaotic white mist. I fought against you before , It’s just listening to the sound to identify the position.”

There was indeed a scent of flowers in the air.A hibiscus tree stands in the flower bed of the courtyard, with large pink and white hibiscus flowers dotted among the branches and leaves.

He is actually blind?Xu Xiaofei was surprised again.The moonlight was shining on Tang Xuanzhu's face, reflected in those crystal pupils.

This was originally a rather handsome and good-looking face, but also a pair of quite moving eyes.Xu Xiaofei couldn't help feeling sorry. #160;

"Six flowers have opened, and there are three more that will not open." Xu Xiaofei said.

"Okay." Tang Xuanzhu nodded, "Little friend, you remind me of an old friend. Come back tomorrow night, and I will teach you some practice experience until Furong first thank you."

Xu Xiaofei thought about it and agreed.

He also complained to Senior Sister Qi Yan jokingly, why is there always someone handing him cheat books and teaching him exercises?But when the opportunity came, he would never miss it.

Xu Xiaofei flew into the courtyard just like a few days ago.He came to Tang Xuanzhu every night for advice, and during the day he was a little out of spirits. Later, even Tang Huaiying who came to him to hang out asked mysteriously, "Xiao Xu, why did you go secretly at night? Going to drink flower wine and find Lezi, you can also call me, even though I'm injured, I'm still fine!" Xu Xiaofei rolled his eyes at him.

Tang Xuanzhu is already waiting in the courtyard.He stopped under the hibiscus tree, raised his head slightly, and seemed to count how many flowers had bloomed.

"Are you here?" he asked, "Has the hibiscus flower started to wither?"

"One flower is beginning to thank." Xu Xiaofei looked at it carefully and replied.

Tang Xuanzhu was silent for a long time.

"It looks like he won't be coming."

He turned around again, sat down at the stone table in the corner of the yard, and called out: "Come here. I won't teach you today. I have prepared a glass of thin wine and have a few glasses with me."

Although he is blind, he is already familiar with the topography of the courtyard.

With a flick of his sleeves, a jug of wine and two porcelain wine glasses were placed on the table.

Xu Xiaofei also walked over and sat in front of him.In the past few days, this eccentric senior has indeed taught him a lot, and he still has to drink wine.

Tang Xuanzhu picked up the jug and poured the clear blue wine into two cups.His hands were precise and steady, not a single drop was spilled.

The two had a few drinks with each other, although Xu Xiaofei wanted to take the initiative to say something, but no matter what he said, the other party just listened quietly and didn't answer, and finally poured the wine and said "have another drink".

After three or five cups, Tang Xuanzhu finally spoke.

"You seem to have a lot of doubts in your heart, and it seems that you don't know the inside story. Anyway, I have nothing to do today, so I will clear up your doubts for you. Don't you know who I am waiting for?"

"I don't know." Xu Xiaofei admitted honestly.

"I'm waiting for the leader of Tianjue Sect, Shen Jinglan."

Shen Jinglan?Xu Xiaofei was not surprised at all when he heard it.

In fact, he had never met this person before, but in his mind, the person he had seen twice in the stream and cave in the incident at Baihuzhai suddenly appeared in his heart...with a sickly face, but possessed a power so powerful that it was impossible to fathom. the power of.

Is that him?

"You have already made an appointment with him, do you want to meet here?" Xu Xiaofei asked.

"I haven't made an appointment." Tang Xuanzhu shook his head, "It's just that many years ago, someone made a fortune for me, whether I could see him again. The fortune teller said that he saw a vision, and the moon hung high. All the hibiscus are in full bloom in the yard, and here I am, and he stands in front of me."

He sighed softly: "It seems that he made a wrong calculation after all, it wasn't him who came, but you. However, although the hexagram is wrong, there must be some points of agreement."

Xu Xiaofei said: "You don't mean me..." He heard the implication.

"I have quite a deep connection with him!" Tang Xuanzhu asserted.

Quite deeply involved?

Xu Xiaofei thought about it, and he felt the inexplicable connection he felt from that person. He could empathize with the other person's pain. Standing next to that person, it seemed that even the rhythm of heartbeat and breathing would gradually become the same... He really did Kind of believe it.

He asked again: "What are you waiting for him to do? If... If you have anything to say, I can find a way to convey it for you."

"No need," Tang Xuanzhu said indifferently, "I'm afraid you thought something wrong. Back then, although he and I were best friends, we had already turned against each other. If he comes again, there will be no old things to talk about, only to draw our swords and face each other. "

He suddenly asked again: "Do you know how my eyes are blind?"#160;

"Is... he hurt?"

"That's right." Tang Xuanzhu nodded, "It was cured originally, but I didn't cure it. Even if a cultivator loses his eyes, his spiritual consciousness can still see things, so I also destroyed his spiritual consciousness. I did all this, Just because I know I have to see him again, but I have no face to see him."

"what on earth is it?"

"It's a long story," Tang Xuanzhu poured himself another glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and said slowly, "Since I promised to solve your doubts, I will tell you. However, this matter has to be told from hundreds of years ago. rise."

Xu Xiaofei looked at him in disbelief.Both Shen Jinglan and Tang Xuanzhu were active characters more than 60 years ago. Why did they take it hundreds of years ago?

And listen to what he has to say.

Tang Xuanzhu continued: "Since you have entered the immortal sect, you must know that the practice becomes more and more difficult as you go on. The last stage before ascension to immortality is called the Great Zhoutian, and countless great powers are stuck here, begging for opportunities No. At that time, a senior of the Great Zhou Tian accidentally got a remnant of an elixir, and couldn't help but think about it - can it be refined into a kind of elixir, and after taking it, he can become a fairy immediately?" He seemed to guess that Xu Xiaofei was thinking What, nodded, "That's right, this is an evil way. But that senior has been in the Great Zhoutian realm for a long time, and ordinary things can no longer impress him. The elixir remnant recipe, and talked about three other acquaintances. Some of these four people are proficient in alchemy, and some have a variety of rare spiritual objects. They deduced together, and actually made up this elixir recipe Finished, name it, Tianji Pill."

"It takes a lot of steps to refine the Tianji Pill, a lot of fairy materials, even the rare and unparalleled Seven Treasures Ganoderma lucidum and the Tianmu Lotus Emperor. They split up the preparations, and they also borrowed people from their respective sects to obtain the materials. When they are ready, they will be prepared. Among the four, the one who was the best at alchemy opened the furnace by himself, and it took three months to finally refine a golden elixir. This golden elixir is not a finished product, but a fake alchemy. According to deduction, the golden elixir still needs human **The mortal body is a furnace, continue to smelt it, and then gradually remove the false and preserve the true. Naturally, the four seniors couldn't use themselves as a pill furnace, so they picked one with the best qualifications from the up-and-coming rookies in the world of cultivating immortals at that time, and quietly planted the golden pill in the on him, that is Shen Hanting," Tang Xuanzhu said slowly, "that is Shen Jinglan's ancestor."

Xu Xiaofei let out a low cry.Hearing this, he vaguely glimpsed the face of the story Tang Xuanzhu told.

"Shen Hanting's wife died during childbirth, and the two children left behind were nothing unusual. One of the two children had ordinary aptitude, while the other showed amazing talent at an early age. I have picked all the masters in the world, but it is a pity that I am suffering from illness and died young. In the future, in the Shen family, every few decades, there will be such a person who is amazingly talented but destined to die. Yes, this is the world With the well-known 'Zhenwu' physique, Shen Jinglan...so does he."

Xu Xiaofei murmured: "It turns out that this physique is artificially created."

Tang Xuanzhu said: "In this world there are indeed cultivation physiques that surpass ordinary people, for example, the Yin Sha body that fits the ghost way, the Yang Yan body that fits the Fire Dao and the Jin Dao, etc. But the disadvantages of the Yin Sha body are just that you can't see it for a long time. The disadvantages of Sunshine and Yangyan Physiques are only restrained by spells such as frost. None of these natural physiques have such a huge defect as the True Martial Body. Once a true martial arts person starts to practice, it is like running down from the top of a mountain. There is no need to speed up the horse, and the power will be rapid, and the speed of the skyrocketing will be faster and faster... until the spiritual power is out of control, and the physical body collapses. This defect is naturally created by manpower, eager for quick success. Jindan can immediately make people achieve the body of a false immortal, and ascend To be immortal is to get rid of the false and preserve the true, which is much easier than ordinary people building soil out of thin air. However, human beings are born with a mortal body, how can they bear the body of a fairy, even if it is only a false fairy body?"

Xu Xiaofei snorted coldly: "These seniors of the Great Zhoutian are also demons."

Tang Xuanzhu said lightly: "In their eyes, mortals are all ants. What is there to cherish about the lives of ants? After they planted the golden elixir in the Shen family, they waited patiently for five generations. They felt that the time was ripe, so they arrested one person and brought them back again. They started alchemy again. This time, they used living people as medicine to induce alchemy, and it is said...the fairy medicine they were looking for was really made."

"Finished?"

"It is said that that day, there was lightning and thunder, the alchemy room collapsed, and a golden light shot out from the rubble, and the phantoms of six golden dragons hovered above. People have seen him before." Tang Xuanzhu said, "Maybe he was hit by the explosion and turned into fly ash, or maybe he was killed by someone who came from nearby, destroying the body and destroying the traces. The other two came a little later Some, when they arrived, the person who arrived first had already picked up the formed Tianji Pill and swallowed it."

"The two of them didn't have time to stop them, they watched this scene helplessly. Immortal energy burst out, purple clouds condensed, and golden flowers fluttered down. The transformation from mortal to immortal is really happening on this person, but—"

"At the last moment, the man seemed to have not passed the hurricane of the heart, lost his mind, and screamed miserably. Right in front of the remaining two people, his figure was swollen, black energy overflowed, and he turned into a filthy demon. He fled in a hurry after being chased by him. In the end, he seemed to be suppressed by a certain mountain god."

Suppressed by the mountain god?Xu Xiaofei was startled, could it be...

Tang Xuanzhu continued: "The remaining two people will naturally not be reconciled. In order to use their names and make things easier, they even gathered disciples who were good at alchemy dug from their respective sects and built a group called The small sect of the Medicine King Sect deduced pills and collected immortal materials for them. They regrouped and tried many times. Unfortunately, although they made a few pills that can regenerate a person and restore the body, they are eager to become immortals. But it was useless. After another hundred years, one person died of exhaustion, and the last person finally decided to give up. He has discovered that the Shen family has long been suspicious of the strangeness of Zhenwu's physique. After many generations of painstaking research, There are even results... The "Shenxiao Zhenshu", which was looted by the Jianghu decades ago, was calculated by the Shen family. It is a good prescription for Zhenwu physique and can improve the defects of this physique. The Shen family is also investigating the truth , once found out, we will never end with him.”

"You must have guessed that the last person left is my master. His old man fell into demons in his later years, and he often babbled to the empty mountain wall in a secluded cave. That's how I heard these things. He came. At that time, he had already given up on the cultivation of Tianji Pill, and he was also worried about the revenge of the Shen family, which was mixed with some worries about the Tang family and the world of cultivating immortals. The world of cultivating immortals has limited resources, such as Kunlun cold Jade, it takes 1000 years to form a cluster, and it takes 800 years for the golden leaf Bodhi to form five fruits. If the Shen family is big, how can others have a foothold? He made up his mind to eradicate the Shen family. Although the Shen family There were many geniuses, but most of them were short-lived and weak, but they were not the opponents of his long-standing senior Great Zhou Tian. They were wiped out overnight. However, the Shen family was not defenseless. As early as two generations ago, a branch branch Separated, and a heavy seal was placed in his bloodline, that was Shen Jinglan's grandfather. It was also a coincidence that Shen Jinglan was sent to the Broken Star Sect by his uncle's family due to the death of his parents when he was young. The seal in his bloodline Already indifferent, once he learned the Tao, his talent shocked the sect. At that time, no one thought of the long-destroyed Shen family. It wasn't until he was young that his skill leaped, and his body also faintly appeared the disease of true martial arts. His background."

"At that time, I had a very close relationship with him. He was free and easy, and he was very loyal. If we talk about shortcomings, maybe there are too many people supporting him in the Broken Star Sect. He has a little temper of a young master, but only a little. Who treats him Well, he's going to make trouble with someone, but it's very measured and not annoying." Tang Xuanzhu's voice was full of nostalgia, and he seemed to smile a little.

It was rare for Xu Xiaofei to see him smile.

"The first time I saw him, he was attracted by my flute just like you, and came here uninvited. I still remember the scene when he came to the moon and stood on the wall smiling at me. That session I lost to him in the Dao Contest, and I only got No.2. I originally felt resentful towards him, but he has a way of being really angry, so I can't get angry at all, but I feel close to him. It's a pity... "

"When my master accepted me, he once made a request to me: Anyone who meets the Shen family, kill them! After he wiped out the Shen family, he seemed to have calculated it again. He calculated that the Shen family was still alive, but because of the Shen family's I can't figure out where the fish slipped through the net. I kneel in front of him and swear that if I find any traces of the Shen family, I will kill them."

"Now that I have discovered Shen Jinglan's life experience, I have no choice but to deal with him. The master had passed away at that time, and before he died, he left me the token of controlling the Medicine King Sect, so that I can mobilize This power."

"It was you who forced him into Youzhou?" Xu Xiaofei said. #160;

"I also failed. I used "Shen Xiao Zhen Shu" as a bait, designed to introduce him to the Medicine King Sect, and sacrificed the magic circle of the Zhen faction, but failed to kill him. I have the head token, which can manipulate Yaowangzong went up and down, but I didn't expect that someone would dare to disobey me... just for Shen Jinglan! Not only did he replace the fake "Shenxiao Zhenshu" with a real one, he also secretly destroyed the Zhenpai magic circle. And Shen Jinglan's skills are really terrifying, much more terrifying than what he showed at the Dao Discussion Conference. He also has a forbidden technique, which can greatly improve his cultivation in a short period of time. Killed us one by one."

"you are still alive."

"Yes. He was jealous at that time, covered in blood, and looked crazy... I almost died under his sword, but at the last moment, he let me go. I will never forget, the look in his eyes at that time ..."

Tang Xuanzhu paused for a while, as if recalling the situation at that time.

After a long time, his voice finally sounded again: "Maybe he didn't know the truth at that time, didn't know that I was the mastermind behind the scenes, and thought I was just here to help. However, I am not a big loser. Although he is still alive, this The forbidden technique used in the battle has exhausted his physical strength, even if he immediately revives the "Shenxiao Zhenshu", he will not be able to save him. Although he is not dead now, the situation is probably very bad. "

Neither of them noticed that in the darkness outside the courtyard, someone stood silently, listening to their every word.

The wind blew the corners of his clothes, and his body shivered slightly as if he was suffering from the cold.

In order to reveal this secret, Tang Xuanzhu used barriers to isolate the inside and outside, but such means could not stop his perception.

After Xu Xiaofei heard all this, he was silent for a while, and finally smiled: "If I were him, I would definitely regret making you this friend."

He looked at Tang Xuanzhu's dull eyes again—he thought it was a pity at first, and said, "Maybe he has found out the truth, but it seems that you have deep regrets because of your self-destructive consciousness and your seclusion. , I am a little embarrassed to kill you." He nodded, "This method is very good, if it were me, I would be a little embarrassed."

"Smart teeth," Tang Xuanzhu sneered. At this moment, he seemed to have finally shed his clean and elegant skin. "I said before, you are very similar to Shen Jinglan, but you are far behind him."

"Which point?"

"Your cultivation base is too poor. He was too popular back then, and some people in his generation didn't like him, but they couldn't do anything about him, and the elders couldn't do anything to the younger generation because of their status." Tang Xuanzhu said, "If I You, when you become the turtle in the urn, you will also shut up obediently."

Xu Xiaofei turned pale with shock, stood up abruptly, but his feet softened.

"This wine... what did you drink for me?"

Tang Xuanzhu said: "It's not poison | medicine, it just keeps you immobile."

"What exactly do you want?" Xu Xiaofei said, "Even if you kill me, you can't force Shen Jinglan!"

"Who said I still want to kill him?" Tang Xuanzhu said lightly, "After I forced him into Youzhou, for some reason, the more I thought about it, the more I regretted it. He is a very good friend, and he really treated me well... It is also for this reason that I lost my consciousness. Today, I just want to make amends for him. When I first saw you, I was surprised, but I immediately understood that this is a gift from God to me."

"What did you say?" Xu Xiaofei gasped suddenly, "Could it be that you... refining medicine..."

"You are clever." Tang Xuanzhu smiled, seeming to approve, "Yes, although the elixir that the seniors of the Great Zhoutian longed for has not yet been refined, the Earth's Extreme Pill that strengthens the body and can cure all diseases can really be used by the Shen family. Refined from human blood. With you, I can refine the Extreme Earth Pill, save Shen Jinglan's life, and make up for my mistakes back then."

Xu Xiaofei didn't respond.

He was using his internal strength secretly, trying to break free from the restraint, but his whole body was weak and he couldn't mobilize even a little spiritual power.

"It turns out that the hidden truth of the matter is like this, it is he who caused the leader to become like this..."

The person standing outside the yard slowly raised his head, his face was pale, his eyes were cold, and tears glistened in the coldness. "The leader doesn't bother to argue with him, but I can't let him go. Since this person wants to refine medicine for the leader, let's save his life for the time being."

"Wait until Dan Cheng - I will settle this account!"

His mood gradually calmed down, and he began to think again.

"The leader must have sent someone to investigate. He knows it well, but he has been hiding it from me."

"He may also know the formula of Earth's Extreme Pill, especially the flavor of 'Seven Treasures Heavenly Lotus Heart', which turns out to be the heart of a person with the blood of the Shen family. But he has no intention of doing this, I'm afraid, and he doesn't want to listen to my advice... ...Is this also the reason why he didn't recognize Xu Xiaofei?"

While he was thinking, he also quietly removed his control over the two people in front of him.

The dazed look in the eyes of the two people faded away, and they looked at each other, one of them said softly: "The front?"

Another person replied: "Yes, this is exactly what the high priest said."

It turned out to be from the Spirit Snake Palace.They were controlled by Lin Yan without realizing it.

Lin Yan has long since disappeared.

The level of these two people is too low, including Xu Xiaofei in the yard, they are not enough to detect his aura.As for Tang Xuanzhu, if he is careless with his cultivation, he may be discovered by him, but Tang Xuanzhu's consciousness is already chaotic, and his perception is not as good as Xu Xiaofei's.

The envoy of the Spirit Snake Palace tapped on the courtyard door, and the courtyard door opened and took them in.

Lin Yan watched all this.

Although Bai Fei has always been jealous, he still planted a hidden stake in the Spirit Snake Palace.This time, it was because of the secret message that there seemed to be something strange in the Spirit Snake Palace, so he quietly followed here.

The Spirit Snake Palace sticks to the Miao border and rarely goes out. This time, it is rare to step into the land of the Tang family, which makes him suspicious and investigates in person.

Unexpectedly, such a huge secret was known.

"You're finally here, and it's really slow."

In the courtyard, Tang Xuanzhu stood up.

"Lead the way, let's go."

A slender transparent silk thread like spider silk wrapped around his wrist, and he relied on this silk thread to follow the envoy of the Spirit Snake Palace away.

Xu Xiaofei didn't follow, Tang Xuanzhu had stuffed him into a magic weapon.
