old grace

The three masters and apprentices spent a long life in the enchanted world, but it was only a short moment in the real world.

Both Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan have experience with the speed of time, but Shangguan Shiyi is not used to it.

From Shangguan Shiyi's point of view, everything on Hanshan has been away for decades, even Tong'er who served him in the Feixian Caolu, and Chen Yiwei who chatted with him, he missed him for a long time.Therefore, he became more loving and gentle, and his temperament softened a lot.

All the disciples in the sect didn't know the inside story, they softened their temper only when the real master master had accomplished a great deal of miraculous skill and was in a happy mood, all of them were very happy.

The banquet at the Patriarch Hall lasted for seven days. Apart from attending on the first day, Shangguan Shiyi spent the rest of the time meditating in Feixian Caolu.Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan only showed up the day before, and they had a lively celebration.After that, only Fu Chuan went to join in the fun every now and then.

After all, like Shangguan Shiyi and Xie Qinghe, both are serious and serious heads, there are too many rules in front of them, and it is difficult for the disciples to indulge in joy.

After the congratulatory banquet, Shangguan Shiyi was still meditating in the Feixian thatched cottage, and never asked to be enchanted again.

Xie Qinghe changed his daily habit of becoming a demon, and planned to wait for the younger brother to clear up his mentality, take a break, and then become a demon together.

Originally, being enchanted didn't take up much time, Xie Qinghe moved the brush and ink on the couch back to the study according to the agreement with his junior brother decades ago, and put a chessboard on the small table by the window.After Fu Chuan was busy with the general affairs in the mountains, the two of them either played chess and chatted, or sat in the study, sorting out the old Sangshan collection brought back from the Chen family, Qin Tingzhen's rare books, copied them one by one, and put them in Zhibao Cave.

Fu Chuan polished a few pages of jade slips for Xie Qinghe with the skills he learned in the enchanted world, and Xie Qinghe kept them on his desk and used them day and night.

The days are full and peaceful.

However, the news of Shangguan Shiyi's miraculous success has quietly spread throughout the Jianghu.

Unlike Xie Qinghe, who quietly and secretly crazily accumulated unfathomable realms, Shangguan Shiyi suddenly changed from an old man to a handsome young man in his early twenties, and any fool would know that this is an incredible miracle.Furthermore, the members of the Hanjiang Sword Sect had a seven-day feast in the Patriarch Hall, and the laughter spread throughout the entire Hanshan Mountain, which naturally alarmed the town at the foot of the mountain.

All kinds of materials of the Hanjiang Sword Sect are purchased and circulated through the town at the foot of the mountain. There are many outside disciples who have no hope of practicing in the town. The outer disciples are closely related.

What happened on the mountain, the upper and lower will naturally communicate. After getting the news, many disciples in the town went back to the Patriarch Hall to have a drink. The door god has achieved great success, and there is hope for immortality.

In recent years, Zizhu Mountain Villa has been doing business with the help of Li Qian. A doorman happened to check accounts at the foot of the mountain, so he naturally received news from the mountain.

This person wrapped a gift and dragged the familiar disciple of the Hanjiang Sword Sect up the mountain. The meal was secondary, and the main thing was to find out what was going on.Naturally, he was not qualified enough to meet Shangguan Shiyi, so he pestered him to meet Fu Chuan anyway.

Fu Chuan invited him to drink tea, said a few words, and naturally returned the gift very kindly.

The disciples of the Purple Bamboo Villa don't even bother to reconcile accounts when they go back, so they hurry home and report to Bai Ruyi—Senior Sister Bai, what a great joy, the ancestor of Shangguan has become a young man!

……

The Hanjiang Sword Sect didn't post a post to invite guests, mainly because they didn't want to alarm the world after only two years since they had done a major event.However, Shangguan Shiyi's great achievement is a great joy after all, and the Hanjiang Sword Sect did not deliberately block the news.

There are quite a few contacts in Hanshan Town from various sects and sects, and the news spread so calmly.

No official post from the Hanjiang Sword Sect has been received, and all sects and sects know the rules.Those who were close to the sect sent core disciples or deacon elders of the sect to congratulate the Hanjiang Sword Sect with important gifts and congratulatory letters from the sect head.Those sects that are not so close have to know something by themselves. Gifts can come, but people don't come—the Hanjiang Sword Sect doesn't want to entertain them either.

Dragon City, Weiyang Palace.

Li Nanfeng went to the palace to discuss the matter with the emperor: "It's such a happy event, I have to prepare a generous gift and bring people back to the mountain gate to kowtow."

The emperor looked down at the letter conveying the news, read it over and over several times, and said, "I once thought that with him here, Master would not have to worry about the future. Unexpectedly..." His pale fingertips clicked on the black and white words Point, "In one night, the white hair is replaced with blue hair, and the decayed appearance is reborn as youth. A visit to the star observatory will achieve great success."

Li Nanfeng felt resentful when he heard what he said, and couldn't help reminding: "Second Senior Brother, that's Master."

The emperor looked up at him in surprise, and asked, "I know he is the master. Is there something wrong or disrespectful?"

Before Li Nanfeng could answer, he squeezed the letter paper into a ball slowly and forcefully, tucked it in his palm, and stared at Li Nanfeng with a hint of sharpness and sarcasm in his eyes: "Before there were disciples from the outer sect who were taught the foundation building skills, and later there was a master Rejuvenation is a great achievement, do you regret it? Do you want to go back?—I give you this life, so that I can send you back to the mountain in a beautiful way?"

Li Nanfeng didn't expect him to be so unreasonable. Just as he was about to speak, the emperor slammed the paperweight out.

"You!" Li Nanfeng easily caught the paperweight that hit his forehead, and pinched it with his fingertips, feeling a little angry, "You are so unreasonable! You still hit me on the head?! Are you afraid that you won't be able to kill me?!" As he spoke, he slammed the paperweight onto the gold bricks, turned around and was about to leave.

The emperor stared at his back indifferently.

Li Nanfeng walked out a few steps, took a deep breath, turned around and walked back.

He stood in front of the jade steps and paused for a moment, then stepped up the steps, knelt down on the side of the emperor's throne, and held the emperor's aging hand: "Second senior brother, I will always be with you. I will not go anywhere. I will let Zhao I will take people back to give gifts, but I won’t go. I won’t go.”

The emperor withdrew his clenched hand and said after a while, "Go."

"Second Senior Brother..."

"You are the person he sent to watch me. The sect has such a great happy event, if you don't go back to the mountain to congratulate me, how will he look at me? Have resentment, disrespect the master, act recklessly...Which one? I can't bear the crime." The emperor smiled sadly, "I just lost my composure for a while. Junior brother Nanfeng, please forgive me."

Li Nanfeng was indeed the person Xie Qinghe arranged by the emperor's side, but everyone knew that Li Nanfeng was also the emperor's "person of his own".

Now the emperor admits that Li Nanfeng didn't return to the mountain to congratulate him, and the master will blame him for "resentment", which is to put Li Nanfeng on the surface that he belongs to him.That is to say, he apologized to Li Nanfeng and took back his sinister suspicion that Li Nanfeng would return to the sect.

Li Nanfeng looked at his face several times before saying: "It's been so many years...Second senior brother, forget about it earlier."

The emperor spread out the letter paper shrunk into a ball in his hand, recalled one by one the words and sentences that should return to youth when he reported to the Shangguan, and said in a low voice: "Why did I forget? That year he first brought a copy of "Qizu Yangmingjing" to his master. ", seeing Master regenerate the old power, I was afraid...so scared..."

"I often think, if he gave me the "Honglong Zhenjue" first, or sent "Honglong Zhenjue" and "Qi Zu Yangming Sutra" back to the mountain, instead of bringing the "Honglong Zhenjue" with me after I practiced magic kung fu If Honglong Zhenjue came to me, then what happened later would not happen..."

Li Nanfeng didn't know how to persuade him.

Things have developed to the point where it is today, if it is said that the second senior brother has no regrets, it must be a lie.However, the second senior brother rarely mentioned this matter.

Today the second senior brother was suddenly provoked and lost his composure to bring up the old matter again, so Li Nanfeng couldn't say some inappropriate words to provoke him.However, if Li Nanfeng wanted to talk nonsense in the tone of the second senior brother without distinguishing between indiscriminate and indiscriminate, he could not do it.Shangguan Shiyi has never done anything wrong to Li Nanfeng, after all, he is also his own master, Li Nanfeng really can't be sidelined.

In the final analysis, Shangguan Shiyi's time is approaching, so of course the eldest brother must take care of his master's life first.As for why he was one step late in delivering the "Honglong True Art" to the second senior brother, Li Nanfeng didn't know the reason.But, based on what he thought, the senior brother wouldn't intentionally tease and blackmail the second senior brother, would he?

""Qi Zu Yang Ming Sutra"." The emperor read these words, "It is finally completed. He is caring and generous, and the master will never disappoint his filial piety. What a happy event."

"You go. Take Zhao Zhu and the others back together. He is not a narrow-minded person. If you ask him about the practice of the outer disciples, he will not embarrass the subordinates. My place has already been organized, and I can't come back. It doesn't matter how many times you come back."

The emperor raised his hand and touched Li Nanfeng's head: "Just to trouble you, I have to stay in Longcheng for a few more years before I die."

Li Nanfeng forced a smile and said, "Don't bother."

The emperor's skin is a body that has not been cultivated, and with years of hard work, it is no more than a hundred years.This is the fate of the second senior brother.

——The Qingjun skin that belonged to the second senior brother had already been buried in Qionglin.

■

No one expected that Li Nanfeng would suddenly return to the mountain!

But since he is a direct disciple of the inner sect, what's wrong with rushing back to congratulate his master after receiving the news of his mentor's success?

There is no overnight hatred between brothers in the same door.Li Nanfeng went down the mountain for several years, and even Chen Yiwei, who had never dealt with him very well in the past, forgot about the past, happily went to the mountain gate to meet him in person, and bowed his knees when they met, "Third Senior Brother, you are back!"

Li Nanfeng didn't expect that Chen Yiwei was still so silly and sweet, and he bowed back to him with a slightly complicated mood: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but I'm as handsome and handsome as before. Today I came here to congratulate my master on his great achievement, but I don't know that the master brother Yu Is your body healthy? Is everything okay, junior brother?"

Chen Yiwei pulled him back affectionately: "Hello senior brother, junior junior brother, everyone is fine!...Zhao Chu, Liang Shuang, you are all back? Hurry up, what are you doing in a daze? Next...Senior brother, I will take you to meet the master. His hair is so long now, all black, without a single fork! He is two points younger than me... I didn't expect the master to be so handsome when he was young , It’s also quite strange, Master was so good-looking when he was young, why didn’t he find us a teacher’s wife or something..."

Chen Yiwei was so obsessed with it, and the outer disciples who followed him also followed him hahaha, Li Nanfeng was quite surprised.

What happened all these years?Everyone in the family practiced child skills, and they didn't dare to mention the love between husband and wife. How dare Chen Yiwei talk about Master like that behind his back?Still making fun of the master with a boyish face but didn't find a teacher's wife? —Is this crazy?

After talking and laughing, we walked to the Peach Blossom Inn.

This place is the only way to go up the mountain. The trestle bridge connects the peaks on both sides, and there are peach forests on both sides, so it is named Taohuazhan.

The high-altitude trestle is relatively shaky, and most ordinary people are afraid to walk on it.The disciples of the Hanjiang Sword Sect have long been accustomed to leaping and moving on the mountain, and walking on the trestle bridge is like walking on flat ground.In order to talk to Li Nanfeng, Chen Yiwei turned half of his body sideways, walking forward almost backwards.

A group of people laughed and approached Taohuazhan. After stepping on the trestle bridge, they walked halfway.

Suddenly there was a flying shadow across the sky, as if there was a sound of spreading its wings, it rushed towards Chen Yiwei——

Chen Yiwei was not good at cultivation at all, but he was much better than ordinary outer disciples. He reacted very quickly, and pressed his hands on the outer disciples who were beside him—if he didn't help, the outer disciples who were surrounded by him It's about to be cut off by this strange bird-like thing.

However, he only cared about the outer disciples beside him, and the strange bird released two sharp blades and slashed across his neck.

With one punch, Li Nanfeng shattered a certain "weapon" of the strange bird.

Everything happened between flint and lightning, and the strange bird shot up from the ground without a single hit.

All the outer disciples drew their weapons and tried to pursue them.The strange bird had already taken off and fled down the mountain.

Li Nanfeng knew in his heart that Chen Yiwei was a good-for-nothing, he was the one with the highest cultivation in the field, with a tap of his toe, he chased the strange bird and flew out.Several outer disciples wanted to chase after him, but their lightness kung fu was really far behind.At this moment, Han Shan's secret whistle had already noticed the change, and they sent out warning signals one after another, and immediately there were flying kites parked in various places and took off.

Chen Yiwei helped the outer disciples beside him up: "Are you all right?" Then he looked at everyone, "Are you all right?"

Someone picked up the fragments of the "weapon" of the strange bird that was knocked down by Li Nanfeng: "Fourth senior brother, what is this? It's so strange!"

The longest time the Hanjiang Sword Sect dealt with were all kinds of demons. Since Xie Qinghe devoured the demons, the disciples in the sect basically seldom went out to meddle in their own business, and even rarely did killing and fighting.The few outer disciples around Chen Yiwei are also good at literary affairs, so they don't fight much.

On the contrary, Liang Shuang, who came back with Li Nanfeng, took a look and said, "It looks like a human bone."

Chen Yiwei nodded: "It's a human bone. This should be a shin bone, right?" He took a photo with the strange bird, but he couldn't see what the strange bird was. I'm afraid I'll suffer if I chase them out!"

The secret whistle in the mountain fired arrows, and the Feixian thatched cottage and the observatory were alarmed.

At this time, Fu Chuan was watching from the outer door, and the distance was relatively close, so he immediately followed the flying kite's rising direction and chased him out.

He practiced the cloud-climbing technique in the enchanted world, but he hasn't practiced it too well in the real world. He stepped on the top of the mountain all the way and rushed to a secret whistle, and snatched the flying kite that hadn't taken off yet: "Give me, give me!"

——Not all outer disciples can ride flying kites, and some flying kites are kept in the secret sentry as a backup.

After getting the flying kite, Fu Chuan was like a tiger with wings added, and suddenly chased him half a mile away.There are also various skills in driving a flying kite. Fu Chuan has the experience of ascending clouds. He pretends to combine the clouds, and then rides the flying kite, and the speed is very fast.

But after a while, he caught up with Li Nanfeng and the strange bird.

The strange bird didn't know what it was, but it lured Li Nanfeng into a trap, and injured Li Nanfeng's left shoulder first.

Fu Chuan was on top of the flying kite, unable to descend for a while, and couldn't reach it from a long distance. In a hurry, he forced a purple sword light from between his eyebrows, and flew towards the strange bird.The sword light flew out, and the strange bird screamed and fled in a hurry.

Fu Chuan himself was also surprised.

He thought that the elder brother's sword energy was only useful in the enchanted world, so why did he bring it back to the present world?

In a hurry, Fu Chuan took a look at Li Nanfeng.

Li Nanfeng shook his hand at Fu Chuan on Feiyuan: "Leave me alone, chase after me!"

"Backup will be here soon." Fu Chuan turned his head and glanced at Fei Yuan, who were chasing after him, and chased in the direction where the strange bird was fleeing.

That strange bird could really fly in the sky, with long wings and sharp claws, and bright golden feathers, it looked quite majestic.However, Fu Chuan had never seen this kind of bird, nor had he seen it recorded in books.He dragged the flying kite to give chase, and the strange bird was so fast that he was about to lose it.

Fu Chuan thought again, trying to chase him down with sword energy.

The sword energy belonging to Xie Qinghe flew up again, and when this side moved his thoughts, the distant side was immediately injured.The strange bird howled.

Fu Chuan only felt dizzy, and the originally plump and clear Lingtai was in severe pain!He thought it was caused by the howling of the strange bird, but when Jian Guang flew back between his eyebrows and plunged into his altar, he suddenly realized that he had forcibly used the sword energy of the elder brother, and the consumption was too much!

How majestic and resplendent is the sword energy of the elder brother in this world, his "minor" cultivation base, forced to drive it twice, has reached the extreme.

Fu Chuan held Feiyuan tightly so that he did not fall.

Fortunately, the strange bird in front was injured by the sword energy, and its speed was also forced to slow down, and it was approaching bit by bit by Fu Chuan.

The strange bird flew slower and slower, and Fu Chuan chased him tighter and tighter.

The strange bird obviously knew something was wrong, and suddenly stopped flying forward, and instead plunged towards the mountains.

It seems to know the flying kite of the Cold River Sword School very well. The flying kite flies on the cloud, and the more watery the place is, the smoother the flying kite runs.If it comes to a place where the clouds are dry, the flying kite will fly very slowly, or even be unable to fly, and can only walk on the shoulders - only after entering the inner door, can it withstand the severe cold at high altitudes, can it fly on the clouds, and the flying kite's influence on the river will be relieved. rely.

Fu Chuan was blessed with the Cloud Climbing Technique, he was good at controlling the flying kite, followed the strange bird and fell into the mountains, faster than the strange bird.

He has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has already developed a cautious and careful temperament. This strange bird seems to be in a panic, but it just used a trap to kill Li Nanfeng on the way to escape. How do you know that it has no other traps?Sure enough, at the moment when he was about to fly onto the strange bird, the tops of the green forest that looked like the tops of the trees suddenly parted, and thousands of iron spears rushed towards it!

"Also!" Fu Chuan was taken aback, and unexpectedly let out a cry.

The iron spear that flew up from the ground was as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and a little longer than a human being. If it pierced into the body, it would break into two pieces on the spot.

Moreover, there are a large number of them, thousands of them!

This iron spear array is aggressive, but its lethality is actually not great.With Fu Chuan's skill, it is impossible to be shot by the iron spear.

However, he was able to react and dodge calmly, but it was difficult for the flying kite he was driving to escape the iron spear's attack.Once Feiyuan is damaged, no matter how high his martial arts cultivation is, if he falls from such a high place, he will be smashed to pieces.

Fortunately, Fu Chuan learned the cloud climbing technique in the enchanted world.

He forcibly controlled the flying kite, dodged and dodged the crazy iron spears fired by the volley, and felt a little scared: Fortunately, he learned the cloud climbing technique.Otherwise, if Feiyuan is damaged at this time, wouldn't he want to chase this strange bird away?

The strange bird has fallen into the woods.

Fu Chuan pulled Fei Yuan and continued to fall, the strange bird was in the forest, and he was above the canopy of the tree, not to mention it was inconvenient to chase, and he had to beware of the iron spear array.

The "iron spears" that flew up were not real iron spears. Fu Chuan took a glance at them, and found that they were all extremely strong branches. Not only were they harder than ordinary branches, but their weight was almost the same as that of wrought iron, so they could be called iron wood.He is pulling the flying kite to chase the strange bird, and the "iron spear" is attacking him underneath. The pre-arranged traps along the way can be described as long and frequent.

"Is this going to chase into the lair?" Fu Chuan became more cautious.

The trees in the forest were lush, and the strange birds bumped and fell all the way and damaged a lot of vegetation, and there was still blood left on the road.

Fu Chuan's flying kite was already flying close to the ground, even if it was covered by trees, the strange bird was gradually overtaken by him.He came out in a hurry and didn't have time to bring a weapon. Fortunately, he had practiced with Xie Qinghe for a long time, and he was no longer what he used to be. There were gun marks flying out between his fingers.

This is his own gunshot wound.

The momentum is not as great as the sword energy, but it is cold and bright, like a rising dragon.

The strange bird fluttered its wings and used the wind under its wings to resist slightly, but it couldn't stop Fu Chuan's attack at all, and let out a miserable howl again.

Fu Chuan learned how to tame books in the enchanted world, but he couldn't understand what the howling of this strange bird meant.He thought for a while, and there was a twittering sound from his mouth, which is the common language among birds, and it probably meant: "What the hell are you? Why can't I understand what you are howling?"

It was the strange bird's turn to be shocked, and Huo Di turned around.

Fu Chuan blinked.

It really is a ghost.

Bird's wings, phoenix tail, and the body in the middle is an animal carcass that has already been skeletonized. In addition, there are six human hands holding bone weapons.

It is not a living thing.

However, this strange bird can understand the birdsong and respond, so it is conscious?

"Why did you go to Hanshan to make trouble?" Fu Chuan didn't know what happened in Peach Blossom Inn, "What are you?"

At this moment, there was a blue light in the sky.

Knowing that Xie Qinghe was catching up, Fu Chuan became more stable and determined: "Hurry up and explain your identity. If you don't have any evil intentions, I will send you never to treat people harshly, just go back with me honestly and confess your mistakes, and this matter can be exposed. If you don't understand the rules in front of my elder brother, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

The strange bird also saw Xie Qinghe who arrived in a flying kite, its fluttering wings gradually moved, and its bones gradually spread out.

It turned out to be so "dead".

Fu Chuan was taken aback and was about to step forward to check.

Xie Qinghe has already pressed the cloud head, leaving Feiyuan aside, and walked to his side: "Are you all right?"

Fu Chuan shook his head: "I'm fine. Senior brother, you see this thing is so strange. It was still alive just now, and it was still bleeding all the way. I beat it and it was still crying, but suddenly stopped moving. I feel It appears to be 'dead'."

Xie Qinghe walked up to the strange bird and took a look. He drew out a talisman against evil spirits with his fingertips, blew on the fire and threw it on the strange bird's corpse.

With a bang, there was a real fire burning, burning the strange bird to ashes very quickly.

"Is it evil?" Fu Chuan was puzzled.He has never seen any records of this monster from any source, and of course he has never learned how to deal with it.However, Xie Qinghe's operation is to eliminate evil spirits.

Without waiting for Xie Qinghe's order, he dug eight feet into the ground with gun marks, swept in all the ashes of the monster, and buried it deep.

Xie Qinghe watched him deal with the funeral and remained silent.

"Eldest brother, this thing seems to have come out of the mountain. It also set up a trap and hurt senior brother Nanfeng." Fu said.

"Don't reveal what you saw today." Xie Qinghe ordered.

Fu Chuan didn't ask why, but nodded: "Got it."

Xie Qinghe saw that his face was not very good, and he was concerned again: "Why did you hurt your consciousness? Did this thing attack you?"

"It's running too fast, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, so I slashed at it with the sword energy of my senior brother in a hurry." Fu Chuan was embarrassed, and turned to pack the flying kite he brought, "I'm afraid the family is worried , let's go back quickly."

Xie Qinghe walked up to him, pinched the sword formula, and tapped his fingertips on the center of his eyebrows.

Fu Chuan only felt that the Lingtai, which had been throbbing and empty for a long time, instantly stabilized, and he was indescribably refreshed.

"If you really like it that much." Xie Qinghe patted his head, "Senior brother will teach you."
