Master on the side of the road, don't pick it up

cold.

Shen Zhexue's eyelashes twitched slightly, her body trembled silently, her mouth and tongue were full of fishy sweetness, her eyes were foggy and she couldn't see clearly.

He vaguely felt that he was lying on his back on an ice bed, and the cold air was penetrating into the bones.

His body was so cold that he couldn't help but struggle.

The evil-sealing nails knocked into the joints collided with the chains, making a series of loud bangs.

"woke up?"

Yan Yuanhan at the head of the bed heard the sound, put down the cup full of cold wine, and stood up with rustling clothes.

His sleeves are full of frost and snow, and his face is like sinking water, which is daunting.

Yan Yuanhan looks good, but Shen Zhexue has a headache when he sees his handsome face.

The matter of defection is a certainty, and it must not be good today.

Simply having nothing to argue about, and nothing to regret, Shen Zhexue closed her eyes, begging to see nothing.

During the three years of working as a worker, he had the most contact with this Elder Yan.

For the first few missions, the elder was in charge of going out to purify evil spirits, and they were old acquaintances.

This elder's temperament is like his name and spiritual root, so cold that he is not close to the living.Falling into his hands, let you beg for mercy and cry and beg Sapo to be good, he stands still, and the cold light of the Lone Shuang Sword is more ruthless than Leng Sanqiu who cultivates the way of ruthlessness.

Among the several masters in the Sifang Realm, Leng Sanqiu seeks profit, Sang Qi seeks his name, and Yiyue Xingjun seeks to be quiet.

Only this Elder Yan had no desires, and he was about to catch up with the golden statue enshrined on the high platform.

Shen Zhexue's whole body hurts everywhere, even in the sea of ​​consciousness, it's a sequela after searching for souls.

Soul search is actually useless to him.

A body transformed by evil currents is no longer an ordinary person.

In the past, what he wanted to cover up with the mirror glass was not his memory, but the darkness in the sea of ​​consciousness.

In fact, Emperor Taiqing didn't need Shen Zhexue to wake up and explain.

Through the memory of other disciples, they can clearly see every move of Shen Zhexue in the mirror formation.

Naturally, you will also see the Bie Changting.

The former master's sword soul fell on the body of an evil cultivator peak master. If this matter gets out, it will definitely cause an uproar in the cultivation world.

Yan Yuanhan stood condescendingly, looked down at Shen Zhexue's body covered with sealing nails, and said: "It's tougher than before."

Shen Zhexue gasped softly.

He used to be very unbearable in pain, and if he accidentally bumped into it, his body would be bruised and left marks. After wearing the book, he had the dull shell of Peak Master Shen, and with the three years of life-and-death experience, this endurance training should also It worked out.

He closed his eyes as if he didn't want to eat oil and salt, but he wasn't afraid in his heart.

He also quietly thought about his little apprentice, so as to distract himself.

... I don't know what Shi Yuan is doing now.

Before he left, he suppressed the demon lord's imprint with his evil breath, but what Shi Yuan was going to face was an old demon father after all, so he had little chance of winning.

But at that time, as a master, he couldn't watch his apprentice die in front of him.

Don't turn your back on people, they are not completely good, and they are not completely selfish.

Everyone has their own difficulties, hoping to find a happy one.

This kind of love with grace, if you really want to argue right from wrong, you can't tell clearly.

It's just a soft knife that hurts people the most.

Shen Zhexue was able to teach the words and sentences written in the books with lofty intentions, but he couldn't teach these complicated right and wrong.

But being alive sometimes opens up new possibilities.

This is the principle that he has always told the students, and he also wants to put these principles into reality.

At that time, he manipulated the evil current to break the ancient seal of evil, attracting the senior officials of Taiqingzong. Firstly, he didn't want to see this group of juniors lose their lives.

What's more, it is good to seek benevolence and gain benevolence, but it is not enough for Shi Yuan to do it.

"What are you thinking?" Yan Yuanhan interrupted Shen Zhexue's wild thoughts.

Shen Zhexue's heart skipped a beat, what a ghost, this Elder Bingpimple has a lot of problems today.

Shen Zhexue didn't react for a while, Yan Yuanhan didn't talk nonsense, and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, the timing is also lucky, you defected to the sect, and Taiqingzong invited you back as bait, it is also your cause and effect."

"What... bait?" Shen Zhexue asked hoarsely.

He felt that something was wrong with Elder Yan, so he opened his eyes and looked at him warily.

In a trance, Yan Yuanhan seemed to smile.

Shen Zhexue was terrified, and extremely suspected that the elder had been taken away.

Yan Yuanhan is surrounded by coldness, people can fake it, but this temperament cannot be faked.

"You protected Taiqing Hanshan disciples, although these are not worth your defection..."

Shen Zhexue thought to herself: But——

"However, in this Xiangjun case, we suspect that there are evil sects in every sect. Taiqing doesn't know how many people are in it. Since you have returned to the sect, try to lure these people out."

"From now on, you will be Elder Shen who walked out of the gate too freshly."

After all, he didn't give Shen Zhexue room to question, and calmly said: "This time you are allowed to come and go freely, so naturally you need to strengthen the seal on your body, you always like to cry and cry, so this time, just bear with it. "

... Is this Elder Yan drunk?

Shen Zhexue was in a trance.

Yan Yuanhan recited the mantra silently, Shen Zhexue's body was shimmering with silver light, and the aura of sealing evil spirits stirred in the secret room.

The pain of breaking the bones and uncovering the skin instantly spread all over the body, Shen Zhexue let out an exclamation stuck in his throat, his eyes went dark, and he passed out from the unbearable pain.

After the seal was completed, Yan Yuanhan held the hand gesture and remained silent for a long time before turning around and leaving.

The suzerain Leng Sanqiu stood with his hands behind his back at the end of the steps in the secret room.

The stone door opened slowly, Yan Yuanhan climbed up the steps and bowed to the Suzerain.

Leng Sanqiu said: "Don't talk about the Changting Pavilion, can you ask the truth?"

Yan Yuanhan replied in a deep voice: "Brother left three sword intentions back then, one was to guard Hanshan, the other was to guard Gu Chun, and the third was left to me. Gu Chun's way has been damaged, maybe it was my sword intention that was sunk here. Zhexue lured him away, but it was cheaper for him."

The Taiqing sect master has been practicing the ruthless way for a long time, and at this moment, he is facing Yan Yuanhan, looking like two ice sculptures in the winter.

However, there are still differences between the two.

Elder Yan is a mutated ice spirit root, coupled with an indifferent temperament, cold from the inside out, while Leng Sanqiu is more than serious, with a lively mind.

He was ruthless but not extremely powerful. Hearing the silence for a while, he nodded and said: "In that case, please send 'Elder Shen' back to rest."

Leng Sanqiu cupped her hands, "Yes."

Shen Zhexue heard someone whispering in a haze.

"Elder Shen, why are you still awake, wake up quickly and talk to me."

"It's so boring, I'm too idle to grow mushrooms!"

This man was talking to himself, making a lot of noise.

"Old man Yan is really bad, terribly bad! Fortunately, we have been prepared, and we will fall into his trick again."

"He knows how to freeze us all day long, and he still locks people's memory at every turn. Why doesn't he lock his own memory before he goes to practice the ruthless way? We don't care about him as the leader of Yinli, just a little bit!"

"Stop sleeping, Elder Shen, call Brother Chang Ting out to play."

"Elder Shen, you look really good-looking, but not as good-looking as me hahahaha——"

very noisy.

Shen Zhexue snorted.

"Elder Shen?!" Xie Zhuchun trembled, stretching out his hand and shaking it in front of Shen Zhexue's eyes.

He was so excited that his voice was so high: "Elder Shen, can you hear me?"

Shen Zhexue said hoarsely: "Water..."

Xie Zhuchun quickly poured a glass of water, supported Shen Zhexue on the pillow, brought the water glass to his mouth, and tipped it forward.

"...Ugh! Hot."

Seeing that Xie Zhuchun didn't take care of others much, Shen Zhexue was swallowed by him involuntarily, and his tongue was almost scalded.

He raised his hand to catch the cup and drank it by himself, only to feel that his wrist joint was about to come off, it was too heavy, and there was not even a trace of spiritual power in his body.

The water in the glass was not ordinary water, but a mountain spring rich in spiritual energy. Shen Zhexue drank a few cups in a row, and finally felt a little better.

The wounds on her body have been all bandaged, Shen Zhexue looked at the horrific two arms with puffy eyes, and thought: Forget it, let's do the work, as long as you can survive, what normal medical treatment is needed when you return to Taiqingzong treatment.

"Elder Shen, are you feeling better?" Xie Zhuchun looked at him sadly, and asked eagerly: "But what do you want to eat? Do you want to eat fried fish fillets, chestnut chicken, cherry cheese, emerald celery and shrimp dumplings?" ,meat ball with soy sauce?"

Shen Zhexue looked at Xie Zhuchun whose eyes were shining brightly, and nodded with difficulty: "I think..."

"Okay! I'll ask Master Zhao to do it now!"

He turned around and ran away, Shen Zhexue didn't have enough time to shout, she stretched out her hand in vain, staring at Xie Zhuchun who was gone, speechless and choked.

Shen Zhexue: "...I want to drink porridge."

Fortunately, this incomprehensible Guawazi still has a conscience, knowing that he just woke up and can't indulge in big fish and meat, so he ordered a large table of meat and fish, and he didn't forget to order him a bowl of porridge and a few dishes of side dishes.

Shen Zhexue drank the porridge silently while Xie Zhuchun let go of his hands and ate wildly.

"that……"

Shen Zhexue endured and endured, she couldn't bear it anymore.

He said to Xie Zhuchun: "Shrimp dumplings, give me one!"

Human beings are like iron and rice is steel, and cultivators don't need to eat bigu, but obviously these two are exceptions.

When the two of them were full, Shen Zhexue patted his stomach, "What's the situation now, why are you here?"

He had some impressions of Xie Zhuchun.

This person is most famous for his "magnificent" history of rebelling against Hanshan and throwing Taiqing in a fit of anger. He finally entered the sect, but he tried his hand at fishing and paddling, and got a reputation as an idler and gossiper.

When Xie Zhuchun heard this, he drooped his head and sighed.

"Hey, it's not that we were disadvantaged in our affairs, and we were punished by Elder Yan, ah, no, it was Elder Yan who punished us."

He rambled a long list, "Senior Brother Pei received ten thunder whips, and Junior Sister Leng asked her master to copy a cabinet of medical skills as a punishment, and the rest were released to the people at the foot of the mountain to build houses and farm land to raise children. Pity I don't have a leader in Taiqingzong Master, Elder Yan sealed my spiritual power and sent me to be your servant."

After hearing this, Shen Zhexue knew it in her heart.

He thought to himself, if something as big as the mirror array happened, the three major sects would not startle the snake, and simply seal the memory of these disciples, and blame this incident as a disadvantage for the younger generation.

And the reason why they easily let go of themselves, the defected peak master, and gave themselves the position of "Elder Shen" was far-reaching.

It is true that he manipulated the evil flow, but he did not harm anyone. Instead, he took advantage of the elite disciples of Taiqing Hanshan, at least proving that he has not completely lost control.

Furthermore, since he successfully ran once, it was enough to change the sect's practice of hiding him in the past, do the opposite, and give him a public identity.

While making Shen Zhexue subject to the eyes of everyone, but also attracting cultivators who betrayed the sect into evil, it is killing two birds with one stone.

After all, compared to Shen Zhexue who has already been captured, the "evil sect" dormant in the dark needs to be more afraid.

Shen Zhexue had seen the word "evil sect" in books before, it was the sect that respected evil currents.

When they were annihilated by the three sects in the past, they were just a crooked sect under the guise of evil, but now they have been able to infiltrate the high-level sects of the major sects, and even Xiang Jun, one of the emperor's descendants, has rebelled against the sect. Teach people to be surprised.

If it weren't for the help of the two teenagers and the common people in the mirror formation this time, the seal of the emperor Jiangxi would be gradually weakened by the withdrawal of the moon soul mirror.

Once the big formation is lost, the lower cultivation world will be the target of evil currents wanton destruction.

But Emperor Taiqing would not disclose more information to him.

It is impossible for him to leave in the short term, so it is better to use his status to find out the past.

Shen Zhexue withdrew her thoughts, vaguely heard the sound of rain outside the window, and a drop of water fell on his hand.

"What is this place?" Shen Zhexue asked.

Xie Zhuchun said: "This is the mountain top assigned to you by the suzerain. It's called 'Hate to Listen to the Deep Rain'. It's close to the suzerain peak, but far away from the canteen thieves."

I hate to hear the deep rain. It is a place where you can feel the humidity just by its name.

Shen Zhexue looked up at the leaky ceiling, lost in thought.

This place is far away from the main peak. Looking out from the window, you can even see the Phoenix tree on the main peak.

At the same time, it also means that if Leng Sanqiu on the opposite mountain comes over with a sword, he can directly blast this side flat.

Shen Zhexue's head hurts.

Naturally, he couldn't refuse the place the suzerain had chosen for him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and live there.

He struggled for a moment, and said, "Well, it seems to be the end of the month, my elder salary for this month...has it arrived?"

Xie Zhuchun handed him the elder's jade token, the expression on his face was simply horrible.

Trembling, Shen Zhexue breathed out a bit of spiritual energy to go in, and backed out frightened.

Fortunately, Emperor Taiqing really wanted to give him a way out.

There are some spirit stones stored in the jade card in advance.

"Trouble you." Shen Zhexue was about to collapse, and said to Xie Zhuchun: "Go to the market at the foot of the mountain to buy things, buy some hand stoves, soup pots, charcoal basins, and then find someone to repair the roof and build an earth dragon fire wall , It is very necessary to remove dampness and keep warm here."

Xie Zhuchun almost burst into tears of gratitude.

He was afraid that Shen Zhexue was an elder with a clear mind, and he liked to live in this leaky water curtain cave. When he took the jade card, he almost cried, turned his head and went down the mountain in a hurry.

Shen Zhexue leaned against the bedside to digest her current situation, and without a cup of tea, Xie Zhuchun returned the same way, and said with a bitter face: "Elder Shen, things can be bought, but people can't come, we have to arrange it ourselves."

There is a bed in the house with four walls, and it is windy and rainy outside, and the rain is coldly patting the thin window paper.

Shen Zhexue wiped the water that dripped on her face, "It's hard for you, let's be self-sufficient."

So the newly appointed Elder Shen and his only attendant, Xie Zhuchun, started to open up wasteland and build houses together.

Part-time job decoration while recuperating from injuries, that feeling is not to mention sour.

On the way to work, Shen Zhexue asked about the day, only to find out that she had been lying in bed for a whole month.

So he read Shiyuan again, and thought worriedly, I am the most useless master in the world.

He stood on the roof and blocked the leaking hole fiercely.

Xie Zhuchun rolled up his sleeves and pulled weeds in the backyard.

The grass is also lush, and it took three days to pull it out by hand.

He is a good inner disciple of the Taiqing Sect, and he does muddy work with Elder Waste every day, and he is not at all unhappy.

Shen Zhexue saw that he didn't think about cultivation all day long, other than eating and drinking, he just gossiped and lived a very chic life.

Putting up screens, laying wool blankets, hanging curtains and tapestries, digging fire walls and tunneling dragons according to the blueprints.

Shen Zhexue's injury also healed a lot, and her spiritual energy gradually recovered.

But from time to time, he has to deal with the sequelae of the strengthening of the ancient seal of evil, and even has no intention of going out, becoming a monk who stays at home.

But later on Xie Zhuchun often ran out, Shen Zhexue didn't really need someone to serve her, so she let him go.

Even this kid can't stay idle after playing like crazy, and he especially likes to share some strange things with him.

The change of the Xiangjun concerning the emperor's son's descent must not be solved on the bright side. Even the three sects know very little about it. This big case has not been spread in the cultivation world.

Therefore, the most lively event in the cultivation world today is the competition of each sect.

Although Xie Zhuchun was confiscated with spiritual power and sent to Shen Zhexue to be a servant, but this person has good news, and he easily understood all the events of the competitions.

Except for the emperor's son Jiangxi, the sect competitions of the major sects are already in full swing.

"If we say that our Taiqing sect accepts disciples, it will also have to pass five tests and kill six generals. If the strength is not enough, no matter how good the family background is, they will not be allowed in."

Xie Zhuchun was knocking melon seeds, and Shen Zhexue was sitting opposite him, roasting potato chips on the hot stove.

Xie Zhuchun smelled the fragrance, and said with great interest: "Elder Shen, have you seen the Dabi of our sect? I was on a mission ten years ago, and I was too late to catch up. It's really a pity .”

After getting along for a few days, Shen Zhexue felt that this child was lively, even though he still remembered the experience in the phantom formation, he was not afraid of him, and was very happy to chat with him.

Shen Zhexue shook her head, "I haven't seen it before. I only know that Taiqingzong's apprentices are divided into civil and martial arts tests. They have to pass six small tests, and the last is to test their spiritual roots and double select masters. The six tests are held every day, and there are half-time exams. One day of repairing, a total of seven days to complete."

Although Shen Zhexue complained a lot to the bigwigs of Taiqingzong, she still approved of their enrollment system.

Fairness is the first priority, and the test experience is also very good.

During the competition period, the Taiqingzong Shanxia Inn can provide free board and lodging for [-] days to the applicants, as well as medical care throughout the process.

And even if someone gave up halfway or was injured, they were not completely devoid of Taoism, and they still had the opportunity to stay in Taiqingzong.

Or choose to become a disciple outside the sect, or practice basic fairy arts and Taoism on several mountains created by Emperor Taiqing.

It was called Beishan Academy.

Most of the students accepted by Beishan Academy are ordinary people with four or five spiritual roots who have low talents and can barely pass one or two tests. Most of their listening content is to resist evil trends, cultivate one's morality, avoid ghosts, etc., support work-study programs, and study for three years. After the year, the outstanding ones can become the replacement lecturers, and the others can get some fairy grass to return to the mortal world.

"I heard that the third day of the six exams is used as the dividing line. Basically, by the third day of the big competition every year, some good seedlings can already be seen."

Xie Zhuchun stared at the potato chips on the stove, and his stomach groaned.

"Are you still hungry?" Shen Zhexue wondered.

Xie Zhuchun clutched his stomach, "Isn't it smelling good?"

Shen Zhexue asked him to wait, turned the sweet potato slices over with pliers, and continued: "There is a saying that there are three days as boundaries. The first three levels are Cultivation Policy Theory, Heavenly Thunder Cliff, and Heavenly Rank Evil Current.

"Some of the questions in the Cultivation Policy Theory involve Dao Mind Policy Questions, which can be regarded as open civil and martial arts."

Policy theory is based on temperament, and the test is on memory. As long as you are willing to study hard, you will have a chance to pass. One, all previous efforts have been wasted.

It is precisely because of the high upfront cost that those who dared to take the exam of Taiqingzong did not dare to say how great they were, but they never did great evil.

"The Tianlei Cliff is to see if you can pass through the Thunder Cliff, and the Xieliu Sky Step is used as a watershed. The examination method changes every year, but it must be related to the Xieliu... Okay."

Shen Zhexue put the homemade potato chips on a plate, and said casually, "Why, is it Dabi's business?"

Xie Zhuchun is a brilliant figure, he appeared late in the phantom array, but he has a strong observation ability, and he can deduce the ins and outs of the situation by relying on clues.

Xie Zhuchun rubbed his nose, "Isn't it that some familiar Taoist friends have come here, and there is a girl named Qin Guzhen, who seems to have damaged her foundation in old age, and for some reason she cast herself under Taiqing's sect."

Seeing that Shen Zhexue's face remained unchanged, he wondered if Shen Zhexue's memory had also been sealed?

So I stopped probing, let go of the chatter box and said: "The waves behind push the waves ahead. There are still a few people who stand out in this big competition. The children of Mr. Beishan Academy, those from Langfeng and Qingxia are all good, and there is one named Yuan Xiyan. Really... Forget about that sword cultivator who ruined swords." He took a sip of the black tea with milk, and said: "I like Qin Guzhen, and there is a child named Shi Yuan, who is very frail but..."

"Wait." Shen Zhexue put down the potato chips, "Who else did you say just now?"

Xie Zhuchun saw Shi Yuan's face in the mirror array, but at this moment he still couldn't match the name, blinked and said: "It's called Shi Yuan, it seems to be Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi's Yuan in a good year."

Shen Zhexue: "..."

"What's wrong with you?" Xie Zhuchun waved his hand in front of his eyes.

Shen Zhexue: "I'm a little dizzy."

"Farewell, Elder Shen," Xie Zhuchun bit the potato chip with a "click", "Let's not care about Dabi, I wanted to come back yesterday and ask, Elder Shen, do you know that when the elder Taiqingzong left the seclusion, the disciples will An old example of going up the mountain to challenge?"

Shen Zhexue didn't listen and shook her head subconsciously.

"What?" Xie Zhuchun jumped up, "But they will come on the [-]th, only three days away!"

Shen Zhexue was finally brought back to his senses by his loud voice.

"What challenge?"

He didn't know these details from Emperor Taiqing.

However, soon Shen Zhexue also realized a flaw in Xie Zhuchun's words, "You said there are three more days? But today is not fourteen?"

Xie Zhuchun: "What???"

Immediately, he stopped eating the potato chips, took out the mirror to check, covered his face and said, "I remember the wrong date."

"That is to say..." Shen Zhexue looked at him numbly, "There are a group of melons, and they are going to fight tomorrow?"
