The rivers and lakes are full of vests

A faint chill rose between Lu Yanran's palm and Fu Peibai's back.

Yun Ruoling originally thought that the peak master was sending Fu Peibai's internal energy, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

The blood on Lu Yanran's face faded to a morbid paleness, and her narrow and slender fingers also began to turn pale.

"Peak Master, you..."

Lu Yanran didn't respond, she frowned slightly, her face showed a look of enduring pain, her thin and thin shoulders trembled slightly, and after a while, she stopped.

"I have already absorbed the cold air in her body, you can take a look for her."

Yun Ruoling supported Fu Peibai to lie down, checked his pulse again, and he had recovered, "Xiaobai is fine, but you are already suffering from a cold, Peak Master, wouldn't you be hurting yourself by doing this?" ?"

Lu Yanran exhaled a breath of cold air, and his expression returned to calm, "It's okay, where did this cold air come from inside her?"

Yun Ruoling looked at Fu Peibai, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I already know her real identity, so you don't have to hide it from me."

Yun Ruoling was slightly startled, she sighed into Lu Yanran's deep pupils, and said slowly: "She devoted herself to learning martial arts, disguised herself as a woman, and took some kind of secret medicine to hide her identity, and her body was full of vitality. This chill.

"Then when I practiced internal energy, I went my own way and chose the positive energy method that was contrary to the body. The two breaths struggled in the body for a long time. They appeared to be healthy, but they were actually consuming essence. But now they have completely recovered. Fluency, could it be because you, Peak Master, just absorbed the cold energy from Xiaobai's body?"

Lu Yanran shook his head, "No, although I absorbed the cold air in his body, I couldn't cut it off."

"That's really strange, but it's also a good thing. Xiaobai finally doesn't have to suffer from the alternation of cold and heat. By the way, Peak Master, why did Xiaobai suddenly behave like this today? And Peak Master... .”

"It's a long story, don't tell anyone what happened tonight, including Fu Peibai."

Yun Ruoling was puzzled for a moment, but still nodded in response, and then left the cave.

Only Lu and Fu were left in the empty cave, quietly.

Lu Yanran stared at the person on the stone bed silently for a long time, his eyes flicked across the eyebrows, eyes and facial features of the other person one by one. Under the dim candlelight, Fu Peibai fell into a deep sleep, and his quiet and peaceful face showed a bit of a daughter's attitude.

Is it a woman?

Thinking so, Lu Yanran stretched out her hand, and touched Fu Peibai's cheek with her fingertips. The touch was warm and soft. She withdrew her hand suddenly, suppressed the ups and downs in her heart, and brought Fu Peibai back to the sky.

In the quiet room, Fu Peibai was lying on the couch, and in the dead of night, he put her back on the couch, covered her with a quilt, closed the door and left.

......

As the day was approaching, Fu Peibai woke up leisurely, with a severe headache. Last night, he had slept too deeply. On the way, he seemed to have a nightmare again. He sank into the icy cold and dark lake, and he couldn't remember it after that.

She sat up and shook her head vigorously, but suddenly felt refreshed. In the dark room, she could actually see things faintly.

She looked at her hands, and then at the tables, chairs and benches in the room, all of which were clearly visible.

Why... She was so surprised that she was able to see at night when she woke up from a sleep. She got out of bed and felt that her whole body was transparent and refreshed, and even her body was half light, which is amazing.

Afraid of waking Xie Jingming up, she opened the door lightly, and came to the bamboo forest where she usually practiced martial arts. With luck, the slender bamboo pole trembled in response to the momentum, as if hit by an invisible and powerful force. , with the bamboo leaves rustling.

She stared at her palm in disbelief, and felt a strange and full air flow from her dantian, which seemed to contain inexhaustible internal force.

She adjusted her breath according to her heart method, and then she slapped her palm again. As soon as she touched the bamboo body, the green bamboo broke from it, making a crisp "Zi La" sound, and wobbled to the side.

Fu Peibai was dumbfounded, horrified, and felt that her body was extremely strange, she knew her martial arts and internal strength, how could she change to this overnight, it was really weird.

I don't know if this sudden powerful power is a blessing or a curse.

She walked back to the room in a daze, and sat in the dark room until dawn.

Xie Jingming woke up slowly, feeling dizzy for a while. Seeing Fu Peibai sitting on the side of the couch in a daze, he asked concerned: "Ah, Ah Pei, what's wrong with you?"

Fu Peibai came back to his senses, forced a smile, "It's all right, clean up quickly."

Xie Jingming regained his energy, hurriedly got up and dressed neatly, and went out with Fu Peibai to the dining hall.

As soon as the two entered the dining hall, they met Wei Xiao. Wei Xiao was holding the plate, and was a little surprised when he saw Fu Peibai. He immediately adjusted his expression and greeted the two with a smile.

When Fu Peibai was queuing up for dinner, she felt two strange gazes cast on her body. She turned her head and saw Mo Qingyuan staring at her in horror not far away. He Cong's expression also changed, but soon Then he calmed down.

Being stared at by Mo Qingyuan, she always felt that the other person looked at her as if she saw a ghost, so she turned her head and didn't bother to investigate further.

"He, Brother He, Fu, Fu Peibai, isn't he..."

"To shut up!"

Mo Qingyuan shut his mouth awkwardly, and walked aside with lingering fear.

......

The Tianji Sect's annual inner sect competition is set up on the Cang Qiong Peak school grounds. All outer sect disciples can participate. The suzerain and the four peak masters will watch the whole process. The competition will last from morning to dusk. The rules are similar to those of entering the sect. A can directly enter the suzerain's seat, and the top fifty can choose each peak by themselves.

Furthermore, if the suzerain and the peak masters have favorite disciples, they can also be directly promoted to the disciples. Generally speaking, only about [-] of the [-] outer disciples can be promoted to the inner sect, and the competition is very fierce.

Today's sun is a bit vicious, hanging high above the sky, there is no shade in the entire school grounds, and most of the disciples in the grounds stand against the sun, and their shirts are soaked with sweat after a while.

The suzerain, the peak master, and the elder masters above the stands were held by the servants with large sunshade umbrellas, and the maids were shaking fans, supplemented by tea and snacks, leisurely.

Ten small competition tables of the same size were divided into ten small competition tables in the school field, but they were not divided into groups, so those who belonged to the same class might also compete together.

Fu Peibai, Xie Jingming, and Wei Xiao stood side by side, on the side of the school field. The competition had already started for two hours, and it was not their turn yet, but the sun was shining brightly on their heads, making them all naked Thin sweat, but among them Xie Jingming is the most exaggerated.

His expression was extremely nervous, his palms were clenched tightly on his trouser legs, and his eyes could not stop wandering around the court.

Fu Peibai was also nervous in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, and comforted Xie Jingming, "Don't be nervous, Jingming, just treat it as a normal practice and learn from each other."

"No, no, I can't calm down."

Wei Xiao patted him on the shoulder, "Oh, it's okay, I didn't pass it this time, it will be next year."

"I, I want to communicate with Ah Pei, pass the competition, and then, continue, continue to stay together."

Fu Peibai smiled, "I have been in the sect for less than three months, how can I pass the competition so easily, I see, among the three of us, only Senior Brother Wei has this strength, and this time he will definitely be promoted to the inner sect."

Wei Xiao waved his hands again and again, "No, no, I can't do it either, don't underestimate these people, they all hide their secrets, they just deliberately hide their true skills on weekdays, after all, as long as they are still in the outer sect for a day, they can fight with other people Both are competitors, Wolong will not show up, just wait for today."

After he finished speaking, he casually pointed to the competition platform closest to them, "Look at the man on the left, don't look at him, he is thin and weak, and his hands are weak, but look carefully, every time he touches the opponent's body, The strength is suddenly revealed, and the skill is hit at the last moment, which often catches the opponent by surprise."

Then he pointed to the other side, "And this one, this man was an outer disciple under the Fengren Sect for a period of time in his early years, and then he entered Tianji to learn swordsmanship. You can see that his figure is like Ling Feng, and he is already a general of Fengren. The soft cloud style under the blade door has been learned thoroughly."

After hearing this, Fu Peibai just nodded lightly. Although she doesn't know who she will compete with today or how strong the opponent is, she will definitely go all out, neither underestimate the opponent, nor belittle herself, just fight with all her strength.

But Xie Jingming's mentality is not as good as hers. Hearing what Wei Xiao said, his confidence fell to the bottom, and he even retreated. But before he could speak in the future, the principal was already shouting loudly: "Xie Jingming, three Get ready for the arena."

His legs softened immediately, and he almost knelt down. Fu Peibai supported him in time, and encouraged him: "Don't be afraid, Jingming, your martial arts are not bad, just perform as usual, try your best, go."

Xie Jingming stood still, looked at Fu Peibai's trusting expression, and with some courage in his heart, he raised his legs and walked towards the third platform.

Fu Peibai and Wei Xiao also walked around from the side of the school field to the side of stage [-], ready to watch Xie Jingming's competition.

Xie Jingming timidly stepped onto the stage, and standing opposite him was a burly man who was a circle bigger than the thin Xie Jingming.

He looked helplessly at Fu Peibai in the audience, and saw the other party opening his mouth silently, "You can do it."

He took a deep breath, drew his sword and took a fighting stance.

Immediately after the sound of the gong, the competition officially began.

Fu Peibai stared intently at the two people who were fighting fiercely on the stage. Xie Jingming wins because of his light and flexible body, while the tall and strong man wins because of his domineering strength.

The two fought together for a long time, the tall and strong man became more and more impatient, and his subordinates became more and more fierce. Xie Jingming had a hard time resisting and was almost defeated.

Fu Peibai's heart also raised with the fierce competition, as if the person who was competing on the stage at this moment turned into herself, how to disassemble the opponent's moves, how to seize the opponent's flaws and turn into a new one was constantly flashing in her mind. attack.

With a sound of "Zheng", the two long swords on the stage intersected, and there was an ear-piercing sound of contention. Xie Jingming was forced to retreat by the opponent's strength, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted on not wanting to lose.

The man shouted loudly, drew his sword and slashed at Xie Jingming again, the attack was swift and fierce, Xie Jingming was defeated, and the blade in his hand snapped at the sound, but the man on the opposite side did not stop in time, if this sword came down, Xie Jingming The shoulder blades were bound to be bloody and bloody, and even his life was in danger. When it was critical, there was an exclamation from the audience.

"careful!"

At the same time as the voice sounded, a figure turned onto the stage with a whimper.

Fu Peibai drew out the sword at his waist to block the man's sword, and exerted force with both arms, shaking the man away.

She stared at the other party with a full face of hostility, and shouted: "He was defeated just now, why didn't you withdraw your sword in time?! This is just a competition, so let's go to the end, not to mention that he is your fellow apprentice, not you enemy!"

The man was stunned. It was true that he forgot to draw down his sword because of a fierce fight just now, and he was a bit ashamed in his heart, but he would be yelled at by a weak boy in front of so many people. , he couldn't hold back on his face, so he replied rather bluntly: "Swords have no eyes, even if it is a competition, you should be careful yourself. Besides, isn't he not injured now? The chief judge didn't say anything. How can you tell me?" What jumps out to be talkative?"

Fu Peibai couldn't bear to argue with others, but he felt resentful for Xie Jingming in his heart and couldn't swallow it.

"Okay, Ah, Ah Pei, I'm fine, it's my fault, I didn't avoid it." Xie Jingming pulled Fu Pei's white clothes, not wanting to cause trouble.

Fu Peibai took a deep breath, feeling extremely irritable in his heart, his blood boiled, his body seemed like a beast was about to break out, and his mind kept clamoring for fight, fight.

Under this inexplicable impulse, she slowly raised her sword and pointed at the man opposite, with a deep expression on her face and a strong anger in her eyes.

The tall and slender young man exuded an imposing aura all over his body.

"Take your sword and fight with me."
