After a meal, everyone was full.King Ning went back to the house, Su Tong was lying on the table, already asleep, Su Huai carried him to the guest room and settled him down, when he came out, he saw Qian Mian standing alone on the roof, looking into the distance.The moonlight stretched his shadow very long, and the mask reflected the clear light of the moon, revealing a strong sense of loneliness.

Su Huai looked at the figure of Qianmian, and remembered that when he was on the boat, he felt the same way, obviously very close, but felt far away.He is like a person who has been forgotten by the world, just standing there alone.

Su Huai recalled the estrangement from Qianmian in recent days, and it was rare for him to be willing to open up the sealed past to himself, but because of suspicion, he deliberately built a wall between the two of them, which was actually quite hurtful.

"Thousands of faces." Su Huai shouted standing in the yard.

Qian Mian looked down at Su Huai, then jumped down and landed beside Su Huai: "What's the matter?"

"When I return to Tianjianmen, will your mission be over?" Su Huai asked.

Qian Mian seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then asked in a joking tone: "Why, don't you want to part with me?"

"It's a bit." Su Huai admitted generously, "I feel very relaxed when I'm with you."

"But I feel that after you came back from King Wu, you were very wary of me, or us, including King Ning."

Qianmian asked Su Huai a little embarrassed for asking such a straightforward question, so he should tell the other party directly, am I doubting you?

Su Huai thought for a while and said, "I've always wanted to ask you a question."

Qian Mian turned around: "You ask."

Su Huai: "Why did you sell that Tianzi Token to Wanguanlou?"

It just so happened that you sold Tianzi tokens that day, the more you sink, the more you will know.It just so happened that when I went to Wanguan Tower that day, I met King Ning.Such a coincidence is really unbelievable.

Qian Mian: "Someone really asked me to do this."

"Heavier?" Su Huai asked.

Qianmian did not deny it.

Su Huai: "Then why don't you come to me directly, instead of making a big fanfare, right? Tianzi Ling is auctioned in Wanguan Building?"

"Probably to use the name of Qianjilou to scare some people. Su Huai fell from the pride of the sky in one day, and became an ordinary person without martial arts. There are too many places on him that can be coveted, such as swordsmanship cheats, inner strength and mental skills. , and he himself is the head of a top sect, even if the sect declines, there are still many places to make a fuss about."

"But how are they sure that I belong to Su Huai? Also, who spread the news that Su Huai lost his martial arts?"

Qian Mian didn't answer, but said: "This is a matter within Tianjianmen, I think you should go back to Tianjianmen to find the answer."

Su Huai remembered that when he asked the other party about the Devil's Cult last time, the other party answered in the same way.

"That's right." Su Huai didn't ask further: "It's late at night, I'm going back to sleep, and you should go to bed earlier."

"Wait." Qianmian took out the Tianzi Token in his arms and stuffed it into Su Huai's hand: "If you are in danger in the future, you can ask for help at any branch of Qianji Pavilion, and I will rush to it as soon as possible." Come."

"Thank you." Su Huai put away the Tianzi order without refusing.

Early the next morning, Qian Mian took Su Huai back to Tianjian Gate. The journey went smoothly, and there was no ambush.

Tianjian Gate is built on the top of Tianjian Mountain, and there is only one steep stone ladder up the mountain, named as the Stairway to Heaven.This ladder is very narrow in the middle, allowing only one person to pass through. There are twelve sword formations engraved on the ladder, corresponding to the twelve styles of Fengyue, and it needs to be opened with the mind of the Heavenly Sword Gate.

In the heyday of Tianjianmen, the ladder was often used as a link in the selection of disciples, because young children climbed thousands of steps in one breath, which required both physical strength and perseverance.

Fortunately, Su Huai had the internal strength left by the original owner, so climbing the stairs didn't feel too strenuous.After passing the climbing ladder, the road becomes downhill until halfway up the mountain, where a waterfall cascades down from the mountain stream.A suspension bridge connected by chains leads to the opposite mountain, and beside it stands a stone with three large characters engraved with iron and silver hooks: "Bridge without return".

Under the Wuhui Bridge is the abyss, Su Huai thought, fortunately, I am not afraid of heights, otherwise I would never even think about going to the mountain gate of Tianjianmen in this life.

After crossing the Wuhui Bridge, the terrain gradually opened up. After walking forward for a while, I saw a dozen martial arts knights sitting on the ground in twos and threes. In front of them was the gate of Tianjianmen. The wooden gateposts and large black characters looked quite It's kind of old-fashioned.The mountain gate has been around for a long time, and there are only traces of wind and rain erosion on the wood, but the three big characters "Heavenly Sword Gate" on it are still very clear.There seemed to be a sword intent in that word, and just looking at it, one could feel a fierce aura rushing towards one's face, making one's blood agitated.

"That's the word left by the first head of the Heavenly Sword Sect." Seeing Su Huai staring at the words on the mountain gate, Qian Mian explained to him.

"What are these people doing here?" Su Huai asked curiously.

"They are all here to challenge the head of the Heavenly Sword Sect." Qian Mian replied.

"Isn't everyone saying that the head of the Heavenly Sword Sect has lost his martial arts? Then why challenge him?" Su Huai was puzzled.

Qian Mian: "Some were instructed by other sects to test. Others are for fame."

Su Huai: "Famous?"

"Su Huai was number one in the Kunlun Grand Competition five years ago, so beating him naturally has some special meaning." Qian Mian said sarcastically, "However, no one has come to Su Huai's door during the five years of retreat. When I heard that he might lose his martial arts Now, these are put together, but I really have 'ambition'."

"Why don't they go in?" Su Huai looked into the mountain gate again.

"Because once you step into the gate of Tianjianmen without permission, you will be the enemy of Tianjianmen." A female voice sounded beside Su Huai.

Su Huai turned her head and saw a rather heroic looking woman with a tunic and a crown of hair.Su Huai remembered what he heard from Yan Tianrui about the information about the generation of disciples of Tianjianmen, there was only one female disciple, so he asked, "Are you Qi Linglong?"

"It's me, let's go, the place has been packed for you." Qi Linglong didn't call Senior Brother Su Huai, which made Su Huai feel more at ease.

"The person has already arrived, my mission is over, let me take my leave." Qian Mian stopped in his tracks.

"Thank you." Qi Linglong nodded to him.

"You... have to leave." Su Huai turned to look at Qian Mian.

"Ah."

"Then next time we meet, can you promise me one thing?" Su Huai asked.

"You said."

Su Huai: "I want to see you take off your mask."

Qianmian: "Okay."

Qi Linglong looked at Qian Mian complicatedly, but said nothing.He turned to greet Su Huai: "Let's go."

Qi Linglong led Su Huai generously into the mountain gate from the main entrance. Some people stared at Su Huai curiously, trying to determine his identity, but Qi Linglong stared back with warning eyes.

After entering the mountain gate, bypassing a small forest, you will arrive at the platform where the disciples usually practice swords. Behind the platform is a bamboo forest, and scattered in the bamboo forest is the place where they usually eat and live.The scale of Tianjianmen is very small. It is said that at its peak, there were no more than twenty disciples.However, Tianjian Sect has always recruited more and more elite students. Although there are few disciples, almost all of them are first-class masters after they reach adulthood.

Su Huai walked into the room Qi Linglong had prepared for him.The room is not big, but it is very clean. In addition to the bed, table and chairs, there is also a bookcase with some martial arts classics on it. The top few books are about the customs and history of the Great Zhou bought in Fengyue City. books.There is a sword stand in the corner, on which is the Louyue sword that he left in the inn.

"You can stay here for the time being, and I will ask Uncle Yu to bring you dinner." Qi Linglong said: "Uncle Yu is the housekeeper here, you can ask him for anything about food and lodging. Of course, you can also go to Yue Shen directly. , He didn't know you were coming, I sent him a letter, and he should be back before dinner."

The author has something to say: Su Huai: Are you leaving?

Yue Shen: Yes.

(no, just a change of vest)

Su Huai: Next time we meet, I want to see you take off your mask.

Yue Shen: Good.

(Don't worry, my vest didn't wear a mask.)

Qi Linglong: I'll just quietly watch your concentration.

Zhi Xiaogu: It's a moment of pleasure to be smart, and you will fall into the crematorium.
