At this time, Luo Xiao laughed instead, brushed off his robe, and said calmly: "At the beginning, in order to practice the Immortal Cultivation Technique and heal the root causes of congenital deficiencies, I found a way to worship under the Lingxiao Clan. I was actually seen through by Master. Master, disciple dare to ask... about my identity, have you already figured it out?"

The last question, Luo Xiao said lightly, but his eyes were serious and almost weird, staring at He Zizhuo, as if confirming a very important, life-and-death matter.

He Zizhuo sneered slightly: "At that time, it was a mistake to accept you as an apprentice. After so many years, how could you not discover your identity as a teacher? I just want to see what you are going to do, and you can be calm Qi, not bad."

"As for the little tricks and traps at the entrance of the mountain, it would be too naive to try to plot against me. At that time, I just broke into the magic circle and wanted to see what the purpose of the people behind the scenes was. I didn't expect to be able to go deep into the demon clan because of this, and found out that your third brother Yan Yu has been in touch with you."

He Zizhuo looked at Luo Xiao and shook his head: "The magic circle at the gate of the mountain, the collapse of the main hall, and Lu Zhang's actions all cannot do without your provocation behind the scenes? Xiao'er, when you came to Lingxiao , Is it for such a purpose?"

"I knew it a long time ago, so it turns out...it turns out...it's like this..."

Luo Xiao didn't seem to hear what he said behind him, and repeated "that's how it is" several times with a strange expression, and then he couldn't help laughing, and said: "From the beginning to the end, your so-called capture and injury are nothing more than Self-directed and self-acted, making such a big circle, making everyone play around. The few disciples you have accepted are even more famous and interesting..."

The words stopped abruptly at this point, Luo Xiao's figure suddenly jumped up without warning, and rushed to Shu Lingjia's side, reaching out to grab him.

He didn't know the purpose of this move, but He Zizhuo was always on guard against Luo Xiao's escape. Seeing this, he squeezed the sword formula with his hand and pointed at it.

Shu Lingjia was sandwiched between the two of them. In the confusion, he instinctively sideways dodged Luo Xiao's grasping hand, and then pushed back with a flick of his sleeve, throwing Luo Xiao away.

At the same time, his sword has also been unsheathed, and the other hand raised the frame, just in time to strike He Zizhuo's sword energy, arousing a burst of dazzling sword light, blinding the eyes.

The few of them were in a mess, and Yin Chen next to him - Dao Lingliu was violently attacking, and he didn't know who he was trying to hit, and smashed to the ground, and there was another burst of cracking.

Shu Lingjia was right with He Zizhuo - after the move, he took advantage of the situation to back away a few steps, just passing Luo Xiao, and heard him say five words in a low voice.

Shu Lingjia didn't hear clearly for a while, turned around hastily, only to see that Luo Xiao had already thrown something out of his hands, and immediately made a hand seal, and a black vortex suddenly appeared on the ground, instantly submerging his figure in it ,Disappear.

Yin Chen was the closest to him, rose up with his sword without saying a word, rushed out of the hall, and chased after him.

He Zizhuo said: "The disciples of Wuyin Peak go to assist Yin Chen and chase Luo Xiao with all their strength!"

Although there are still many people who are confused, his authority as the head of the sect is unquestionable. The disciples who were pointed out took orders and immediately followed behind Yin Chen. He Zizhuo waved his hand and said: "Other People go back first."

Soon, the people in the hall retreated full of surprise, and the succession ceremony was interrupted.

But Shu Lingjia didn't move. After a while, he slowly put the sword in his hand into the sheath, and said, "Master, are you really in good health? Before that, you seemed to be in a coma, but in fact... you were conscious of?"

He Zizhuo also knew Shu Lingjia's temper, and he had expected that after he learned the whole layout, he would definitely make a fuss, but unexpectedly, Shu Lingjia's attitude was much calmer than expected.

His complexion also slowed down a little, and he nodded and said: "There will be a magic circle at the gate of Lingxiao Mountain. I did not expect it, but the magic circle is mainly used for attacking. I broke the eye of the formation on purpose. Let yourself fall in."

"Yan Yu, who caused trouble this time, is the third younger brother of your elder brother. There are also many handwritings of Luo Xiao in the whole conspiracy. After I found out, I just took advantage of the trend and followed the plan, and it really paid off."

After He Zizhuo finished speaking, he looked at Shu Lingjia's expression and said, "Of course, your performance this time is also seen by the teacher. You have done a good job, no matter for me or for the sect. It’s all a piece of sincerity, and I know all of these in my heart.”

Shu Lingjia also nodded, and said: "Yes, I am sincere. I don't know who my parents are. I have been raised by my master since I was a child, and treat you like a father. How could I see you in danger and ignore it? I would rather take To change my own life, I believe many people in this sect will do the same."

Unknowingly, the eye sockets were a little hot, but the voice was very calm: "So, what you sow will reap the fruit. Now I will show my face soon, and have I been praised by the master? This life is worth it .”

Speaking of this, Shu Lingjia has already figured it out.

He Zizhuo is really a ruthless person, I am afraid that long ago, after he discovered Luo Xiao's identity, he had been wary of him in everything, and this time he was attacked by the demons on the road, which made him even more suspicious.

So at the gate of the mountain, He Zizhuo found that something was wrong, and immediately acted accordingly. Instead, he used this attack to penetrate into the enemy's interior, and just seized an opportunity to investigate the demons.

With his cultivation skills, once he finds a way to go deep, it is naturally not difficult to investigate something secretly.

He knew that Mingxiao's real identity was Yan Yu, and that Luo Xiao was secretly dealing with him, but he deliberately pretended to be in a coma, kept everything under wraps, and hid behind the scenes to watch this good show unfold.

Then at a critical moment, in front of everyone, he used Luo Xiao's most trusted Shu Lingjia to expose his identity and plan in one fell swoop.

In doing so, there are at least three benefits.

First of all, due to the influence of Jiang Rong's protagonist's aura, the hearts of the Lingxiao faction were not in harmony. This time, He Zizhuo not only cut off a lot of ambitious people without any effort, but also once again established a prestige in front of everyone.

Secondly, he completely cut off Luo Xiao's retreat, and at the same time made the Mozu owe the Ling Xiao faction a debt.

As for the last point...it is Shu Lingjia.

He Zizhuo wants Shu Lingjia to return to the Lingxiao Sect, but he also knows that Shu Lingjia has a stubborn temper, and it is impossible to compromise no matter what, only the safety of his master can make Shu Lingjia care about giving up— According to the principle of cutting, rush back to the sect.

He attacked Lu Zhang and Xingtang in public, sneaked into the Demon Race to find He Zizhuo, and participated in the succession ceremony of the head of the Lingxiao faction. .

Shu Lingjia's combat power and position have been seen by people from all sects and sects. As long as everyone knows that his heart is still with the Ling Xiao sect, and he can sacrifice his life for the sect and master at any time, then whether he is there or not? On Lingxiao Mountain, what's the difference?

That's why He Zizhuo watched him run around and take risks, but didn't reveal a word. - On the one hand, he was afraid that Shu Lingjia would protect Luo Xiao, and the bigger purpose might be this.

Shu Lingjia said in a low voice: "...I'm actually worried that someone like Master will be taken away, it's ridiculous."

He recalled how he felt when he told Jing Feitong that he was going to save He Zizhuo. At that time, he actually had a sense of desperation and tragedy.

In order to let this person escape from danger, he can go against what he once said, offend any powerful force, and use all his persistence and persistence to put all his eggs in one basket, just to keep what he wants to keep.

And now, all that's left is silence and exhaustion.

He felt like a soldier who had just come down from the battlefield, and with his obsession, he tried his best to survive. Although he was covered in scars and defended his home country, he was at ease in his heart.

But after walking such a long and such a steep and rugged road, he raised his head and saw the piece of homeland that had been protected regardless of everything.

The homeland has become a piece of ruins.

This is how Shu Lingjia feels now.

Because he couldn't forget his past friendship, he managed to find He Zizhuo back, and wanted to let go of all the pain caused by Jiang Rong, but found that the other party was completely different, and he was no longer the one he was familiar with. people.

Or rather, it never was.

Everyone is trying their best to use and deceive him, and the most ridiculous thing is that he himself still takes the bait again and again.

Everyone knew where his weakness was, and that weakness was handed out by himself.

If Shu Lingjia can still try to understand Luo Xiao's actions, it is because he understands in his heart that they are demons and immortals. Since they are not on the same front, It is understandable that Luo Xiao wants to achieve his own goals.

Shu Lingjia doesn't like to be forced by others, and likewise, he will not force others.

But He Zizhuo...

Shu Lingjia thought, maybe there shouldn't be such a relationship between master and apprentice between them. Before that, he received the kindness of the other party's upbringing and teaching for no reason, so now he has to count all the kindness, including the warmth and touch at that time. Return it to him, and even pay interest.

He brought Jiang Rong up the mountain, but he abandoned himself first and used him later; he provided a shelter for himself when he was weakest and helpless, and then destroyed it with his own hands; It's no different from reprimand and humiliation, but it's all words for manipulating people's hearts!

Seeing that Shu Lingjia's complexion was wrong, He Zizhuo couldn't help but frown and said, "If you want to take into account the overall situation, you can't talk about so many rules and righteousness. You worked so hard before, but to save Me, now I am safe and sound, there is no false alarm, you should be happy, why do you care about other things?"

He took a deep breath, and said patiently: "Ling Jia, you are a person who values ​​affection and love, and you obviously want to live a life where you have someone to rely on. If you really drift away, it is against your heart. I am in your little one. Carefully cultivated at the right time, it is precisely to place high hopes on it, intending to entrust it with great responsibility, how come you don't understand this painstaking effort?"

All the years in the past, summed up, are actually the eight words of "careful cultivation and high hopes".

Memories are just like this - little by little is hollowed out, and in the end - the slightest warmth is gone.

Shu Lingjia suddenly said: "Are you really He Zizhuo? Are you... really the master who brought me up the mountain?"

His voice was a little hoarse, He Zizhuo didn't hear clearly for a while, and said: "What?"

Shu Lingjia suddenly raised her voice, and said angrily: "Then do you know, how many people died in the Qizong in this incident? You don't care! In your heart, as long as the goal can be achieved, Can anything be sacrificed?"

"I am good, Jiang Rong is good, including other senior brothers, they are just tools for you to manipulate people's hearts. You are self-righteous, complacent, and feel that you are very proud of playing with everyone who respects you and cares about you. But when I see you showing off your achievements here, I just feel disgusted..."

He took a deep breath: "——Why are you doing this?"

He Zizhuo has met many powerful enemies in his life, but he has never been scolded in person like this, especially when the scolding person is still his apprentice. surge.

He flicked his sleeves and shouted: "Presumptuous! Who gave you the courage to accuse your master like this!"

Shu Lingjia was so angry that he did not hide or dodge, took off Wei Meng, put the scabbard on the ground and leaned heavily, the power on the sword collided with He Zizhuo's Qi, and made a loud bang, knocking the ground Pieces of stone bricks were thrown away.

A sarcastic smile emerged from the corner of Shu Lingjia's lips: "Where do you get the confidence to think that as long as you calculate, everyone will live as you expected?!"

"I have regarded you as my father since I was a child, and regarded you as the most respected and trusted person in the world. For your encouragement and expectations, I worked hard to practice and never slack off. My lifelong wish is to slay demons and demons, protect the sect, and keep Share worries by Master's side... Aren't these all your wishes? That's what I used to do!"

Shu Lingjia scolded angrily: "But after I was injured, you first gave up on me and chose to cultivate Jiang Rong! You even let him plant and slander me!"

"I will be a teacher every day and a father forever. I don't resent you... I just want to leave this land of right and wrong because I don't want to resent you one day. I just want to live a quiet and ordinary life, but you —Pressed again. I hate cheating and taking advantage more than anything in my life... I—”

When he was a fox, he had nowhere to turn and wandered around, always wanting to have a family and relatives. It was He Zizhuo who brought him to Lingxiao Mountain and gave him the illusion of longing.

The past is whirling, and every time I think of it, no matter what the situation is, I am full of warmth, but now it looks like what Shu Lingjia feared most, completely changed and fragmented.

He Zizhuo was so reprimanded by him, he was even more shocked than angry, and wanted to be reprimanded, but suddenly found that he couldn't find words to refute Shu Lingjia's words.

He Zizhuo said coldly: "I promised you to be the head of the sect, and I trained you as my successor from the beginning to the end! You are arrogant and arrogant, and you have never learned to compromise and bow your head. How could it be so simple?!"

Wrong, - everything should not be like this at all!He must have been possessed by an evil spirit from somewhere, using He Zizhuo's voice, He Zizhuo's face, and He Zizhuo's identity to stand here and talk to himself!

Shu Lingjia hissed, "Who cares about that damn head!"

In a rage, he raised his hand and lifted the altar table in front of the idol, and the altar table in front of the statue suddenly fell over. The jug and wine glass he handed to Luo Xiao just now fell to the ground, and the broken jade splashed all over the floor.

Shu Lingjia's chest heaved: "Things in the world are not easy, can you just play with people in the palm of your hand?! In your heart, am I a tool to be used from the beginning to the end? No... I should ask, Do you have a heart? Why can you be so hypocritical, so...so disgusting!"

In fact, He Zizhuo didn't think that Shu Lingjia's words were wrong. He was just using people's hearts, so what?Plotting big things shouldn't be tied down by feelings.

But if he was really ruthless, he should have been indifferent, but why did he feel so angry when facing accusations like Shu Lingjia's?

At the beginning, he took good care of him with meticulous care, watching him grow up little by little, learn to transform, learn to walk, can hold the sword in his hand, and grow into a handsome boy... From the beginning to the end, he has shown extreme preference for this apprentice .

Those ties of affection are not fake, so Shu Lingjia must-must care so much about his methods?Even if some things deceived him, Shu Lingjia didn't suffer any loss, why he just didn't understand!

He Zizhuo completely lost his patience, and shouted: "Okay, have you had enough trouble? Calm down!"

He teleported, reached out and grabbed Shu Lingjia's wrist, and immediately grabbed the sword in his hand.

For them, the deep-rooted concept since childhood is that the kindness between master and apprentice is as great as heaven. Apart from learning and learning, apprentices should be beaten and scolded freely, and they must never do anything to the master.

But Shu Lingjia tightly clenched the sword in his hand, but suddenly there was an unspeakable grief and indignation in his heart, he cut back with his hand, to block He Zizhuo's approach, and at the same time choked, the sword was out of its sheath, and he leaned back and swiped the sword. Feng Taotao is like a huge wave, colliding with He Zizhuo's true energy!

He Zizhuo's seemingly ordinary - grasping, originally hidden the backhand of the five moves, was unexpectedly pushed aside by his - sword!

He Zizhuo was surprised that Shu Lingjia had entered the realm like this, but he was just stunned for a moment, and the pattern of Taiji Liangyi was already drawn in his hand, and the golden seal was changing in a variety of ways, and suddenly exploded in mid-air .

This time, He Zizhuo had exerted [-]% of his strength.

When Shu Lingjia's sword energy arrived, he urged the seal to disperse it in the air, and then straightened his sword straight forward. The two exchanged dozens of moves in an instant. He Zizhuo's fingertips touched Shu Lingjia's sword serve.

Then, he took advantage of the trend to wipe down, and pointed directly at the three acupuncture points on Shu Lingjia's wrist, pointing to the wind, but before the wind came, the palace door behind the two of them had already made a loud noise and was knocked open.

But hearing the sound of exclamation, yelling and sword strikes from outside suddenly poured in, along with the chaos, a figure had already rushed in, and went straight to He Zizhuo.

He Zizhuo, but the strong wind hit his face, immediately raised his palms to meet each other, and the two faced each other with their palms facing each other.

I saw the true energy suddenly spread to the surroundings, shaking the entire hall into a mess, even Shu Lingjia's robe sleeves were excited by it, and the sound of hula flew up, hunting in the air, if it wasn't for him Protecting the body with true qi, I am afraid that this piece of sleeve will be torn on the spot.

After the slap, the two each took three steps back, He Zizhuo coughed a few times, felt a fishy smell in his mouth, and almost spit blood.

Shocked in his heart, he looked up, only to find that the person who did it was Jing Feitong.
