The elders of the Yinshan faction had come to their senses at this moment, knowing that Ren Mingyuan was probably staring at her at that time, and if he was caught on the spot, he was afraid that his reputation would be ruined, and now he couldn't help feeling afraid for a while.

"This matter is thanks to the two nephews. I don't know what the names of the two nephews are, where they learned the art, and the Changyin Mountain Sect came to visit and thank them."

Qu Chen showed a helpless look, he clasped his fists slightly, and responded: "Qu Chen, this is my junior brother, Ming Zongyi, the two of us are the seventh generation disciples of the Taixuan sect, as for the matter of visiting the sect, I won't bother Yin Shan." Senior, my Taixuan sect is still closed."

"...Seal the mountain?"

The elders of the Yinshan sect were slightly taken aback, and didn't ask any more questions, worried about talking about the sad things about the Taixuan sect.

Closing the mountain, this is the most helpless choice for a sect. It is equivalent to the sharambara suicide of the samurai in the Fusang country in the east. If a sect does not really have nothing to do, it will not choose to seal the mountain.

"Since the mountain is closed, it is really inconvenient to disturb... If the two nephews are free, you might as well come to Yinshan for a few days. Although the scenery is not as beautiful as Yangshan, it is still a beautiful place."

Qu Chen responded with a smile, also speaking beautifully.

"If I'm free in the future, maybe I'll bother you for a few days."

From the beginning to the end, they didn't ask about how Ming Zongyi saw the flaws, and they are quite b-numbered... But it doesn't matter if they ask, because the answer is obvious, but it is precisely because the answer is too obvious And so it's even more unbelievable.

On Qu Chen's side, he was talking with Daoist Xuanhua and the elders of the Yinshan School, while Ming Zongyi and Fu Miao stared at him with big eyes. , I don’t know why, I keep staring at Ming Zongyi, and I feel a little guilty when I look at Ming Zongyi. He looks very good, but he has never been stared at like this before...

At this time, Mu Ling in the venue finally couldn't eat anymore. She hiccupped, raised her head, and found that the martial arts practitioners at the same table were all looking at her with incomparable hatred, which made the Taixuan Sect only The mascots in the nest were trembling a little, and were about to seek the protection of Ming Zongyi and Qu Chen, but when they turned their heads, the two had disappeared without a trace.

"...?"

"Am I being left behind?!!!"

Chapter 58 The owner of Wan Dao

Because the martial arts people at the same table looked too ferociously, Mu Ling became frightened. Although she didn't know why they looked at her like that, it was definitely right to hide for a while. She was going to sneak back to the guest room, but she didn't take two steps. Turning around, he carefully took a plate of snacks from the table, intending to pass them off when he was bored.

...... I always feel that the eyes of the martial arts people at the same table are more ferocious.

Mu Ling didn't know where she offended someone, she obviously didn't do anything, and was about to run away with a snack, when she suddenly heard the conversations of the surrounding martial arts people—it was hard not to hear, basically the entire venue was there Talking about this, at first glance, it is full of noise, but if you listen carefully, you will find that they are talking about the same thing.

Mu Ling was squatting in a small corner, eating snacks, and what she heard was frightening, tortoise, it took me a while to eat by myself, why did you finish a small dungeon.

【"Why...what's the matter, why can this jack call out other people's flaws? A few days ago, when the second senior sister and the fourth senior brother were fighting, he was still in a daze, and couldn't understand anything... I understand! Eldest brother must have seen the flaws of Xiang Dongqian, and told Jack, let this kid pretend now! Damn it! I refuse to accept it! You pretend not to take me!"]

As a 16-year-old young man, Mu Ling has a great desire to show herself in front of others. Seeing that the cheap senior brother would rather bring the new junior junior brother to pretend to be a force than himself, the anger grew from the heart to the courage, and she sat down on her buttocks. She went back—yes, she was angry and hungry.

Not long after Mu Ling sat back, the chaotic voices in the venue suddenly stopped and turned into many small discussions. At this time, Mu Ling finally took some time out of her busy schedule and looked in the direction of the main table, but saw Ming Zongyi and Qu Chen were following Daoist Xuanhua out of it, and sat at the main table together.

Seeing the world focus on Ming Zongyi, Mu Ling was even more sad. She ate three more bowls with tears in her eyes. The martial arts people at the same table were all amused, but after all, she didn't care about a little girl.

Master Xuanhua made Ming Zongyi and Qu Chen sit at the main table for obvious reasons. He blocked many idlers for them. If they were still sitting in their original seats, the meal would be unsustainable. At the main table, there were very few people who were qualified to disturb them, and Xuanhua Daoist of the Yangshan School also blocked some of them. In the end, except for the names of the two and the matter of closing the mountain, they didn't even say the name of the sect.

Of course, occasionally meet some acquaintances.

That's right, it was Qi Mingguang who had met once. This person's stature was treacherous, and his cultivation was a little unfathomable, but he didn't have the slightest demeanor of a master in his whole body. Dress up and toast.

"My lord, hey, hey, tell me, my eldest lady is also very curious, but she can't keep her face from it, this bad trick... Hey, whose method is it?"

Qu Chen glanced at Qi Mingguang, smiled lightly and said, "Brother Qi, why do you ask such a question? With your strength, if you haven't found anything, then what other answers can you have?"

"My lord, you are joking." Qi Mingguang rubbed his hands together and said with a smile: "With my little strength, I am like the light of a firefly in front of you. My lord, you are the brilliance of the sun and the moon, shining all over the world. …”

"Okay...Brother Qi, if you have anything to say, you can just say it." Qu Chen couldn't laugh or cry, obviously Qi Mingguang's flattery made him a little hard to resist.

"My lord, your eyes are as bright as a torch, and you really can't hide your little thoughts." Qi Mingguang smiled, observed the expressions of Ming Zongyi and Qu Chen, and said, "My lord, the world has not been peaceful recently, you Yes, I know, otherwise I wouldn't take action to level the life and death. Recently, Yaoguang Shi's family is also recruiting wise men to prepare for the future. My young lady also has some ideas and wants to make peace with the two families...Of course, Xiao What I want to do is to pass on a message, my son, you are the brilliance of the sun and the moon, and the Yaoguang master's family can't tolerate you, if you don't want to, I will turn around and leave, I am absolutely unambiguous."

Ming Zongyi on one side turned his head to look, and the other people on the main table were far away, all of them were thousand-year-old bastards.

Qu Chen said calmly: "She is qualified to be the master of Qinghuan?"

Qi Mingguang showed embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "My lord, you understand what the meaning of the reconciliation of the wealthy family is."

For the wealthy family, the reconciliation in their mouths actually means 'this matter, I can do whatever I want, and if you are against me, forget it, and I will spare you', rather than discussing an agreement that is acceptable to both parties. scheme.

"Master Yaoguang's family has already obtained too much from Qinghuan." Qu Chen's expression was calm, his eyes were dark, "What about the princess, what about the queen, if she says she doesn't want it, then she doesn't want to, Brother Qi, go help I will send a message to Master Yaoguang's house, give up early, otherwise I will go to Master Yaoguang's house in person sooner or later."

Qi Mingguang said coyly: "My lord, I've kept your story to myself, and I haven't mentioned a single word to anyone. They don't know that you are a fairy who came down to earth, my lord. These words... probably have no deterrent effect. "

"Just bring the conversation with you." Qu Chen waved his hand, unwilling to talk any more, "Go."

Qi Mingguang left with a sad face, obviously it was a hard job to convey the message to Qu Chen.

Ming Zongyi listened to the truth, the words "Princess Concubine" and "Queen" made him think about it. Although he knew that Shi Qinghuan had an extraordinary background, he did not expect it to be so extraordinary...

He whispered: "Eldest brother, is it useful for him to take this kind of words?"

Qu Chen said calmly: "There is a person in Master Yaoguang's family who knows me, he should work hard, and he doesn't want the matter to develop to that point."

Ming Zongyi asked curiously, "Who?"

Qu Chen said one word at a time: "My master!"

"!!!"

Ming Zongyi's eyes were fixed, and his heart was turbulent. The owner of Wan Daoyi is actually in Yaoguang Shi's house? !Then how did Qu Chen deal with him before, could it be that Qu Chen has already been to Yaoguang Shi's house once, and met Wan Daoyi's master? !

He couldn't help but ask, "What...is it?"

Ming Zongyi wanted to ask too many questions, the grievances between Shi Qinghuan and Yaoguang's family, the princess and queen that Qi Mingguang just mentioned, and Wan Daoyi's master, the peerless master who defeated Qu Chen... ....

However, Qu Chen didn't answer Ming Zongyi's meaning, he just said calmly: "Zongyi, you don't have to think too much, I believe that you work hard enough, and I believe that you are mature enough, but you are only 16 years old after all, you know this too early It's not a good thing for you... I always urge you to practice hard, maybe not without some selfishness. I hope that you can help me when the waves are raging, and even rely on you to take the lead. I Believe you can do it."

"Because you are a peerless genius."

Chapter 59 The Listener

"Brother, I still want to stay in Yangshan for two more days. It's a beautiful place and it's a good place. Let's stay for a few more days..."

The next day, when it was time to leave Yangshan, Mu Ling was reluctant to part with her. The big meal yesterday made her dream and never forget.

On one side, Ming Zongyi carried the package on his back, and mercilessly exposed Mu Ling.

"You don't want to look at the scenery, but you want to stay here and have a meal."

Mu Ling is a soft-footed shrimp to the outside world, but she is the king of the nest at home. After being exposed by Ming Zongyi's real purpose, she didn't have the slightest timidity, and shouted: "You fart! Superficial! Vulgar! Am I such a person! You Why do you slander people so innocently out of thin air!"

Ming Zongyi squinted and said: "The people at the table with you are all hungry, they just don't want to argue with you, a little girl."

Mu Ling blushed immediately, and argued: "Then...you can't blame me, they don't eat it themselves, I think it's not a waste, it's a matter of saving food..."

———Then they don’t eat it, who knows that there will be nothing to eat after watching a play!

Ming Zongyi and Qu Chen looked at each other, and each sighed. Mu Ling was still in the last desperate struggle, holding on to the door of the house, as if she wanted to live and die with the Yangshan faction.

Since the guest rooms of the Yangshan School are all connected together, Mu Ling's gesture also attracted the attention of the martial arts people nearby. Because Ming Zongyi was in the limelight yesterday, many martial arts people knew him, and they started whispering at the side.

Qu Chen sighed: "A Ling, let go quickly, it's very embarrassing, do you think there is a birthday banquet every day?"

"That's better than us! Although this jack's cooking skills are not bad, but there is no meat at all. What should I do if I lack development! If I can't grow like Fifth Senior Sister, it must be because I didn't eat well!"

A certain jack who is good at cooking squinted and said: "It's thanks to the rice supporter of Taixuanmen, otherwise you would have to pay three hundred and two."

"Raising a fart! Isn't it just starving me like this! A disciple in Yangshan raised a golden tiger. I think this cat is fatter than me!"

"If you didn't tell me, I would have thought it was a long-haired pig... It's okay, I still have a lot of money left, and I'll go to the city to buy you some snacks when I go back."

"A word is settled!"

Mu Ling put the package on her back with a slam, and the group set foot on the way back. Jiang Yuan saw off the guests at the mountain gate. When she saw Ming Zongyi and his party, she went up to greet them for a while. She was also a little surprised. Although she was there yesterday Ming Zongyi and Qu Chen saw Mu Ling next to them, but Mu Ling didn't raise her head, she thought they were just sitting together by chance... They were really fellow apprentices.

--------

After several days of running around, the three of them arrived at Xialing City. They only need to rest in the city for a day, and they can return to Taixuan Mountain tomorrow.

Ming Zongyi kept his promise, and planned to take Mu Ling to buy some snacks. Qu Chen said that he had something to deal with, so he asked Ming Zongyi for some money, but Ming Zongyi didn't ask any more questions. Return to the inn for dinner at three o'clock.

Ming Zongyi and Mu Ling left their luggage at the inn, and both traveled lightly, but when Qu Chen went out, he brought his own luggage.

【"What is this for...there is nothing important in the luggage, right?"】

Such a thought flashed through Ming Zongyi's mind, and before he had time to think about it, he was dragged away by the impatient Mu Ling.

Women are born with unlimited energy buffs when they go shopping, especially Mu Ling who is still active, eating and walking, with energy replenishment. During the long torture, Ming Zongyi inexplicably began to empathize with that Qi Mingguang. It's only two hours and I can't stand it anymore, that one is four hours...

———His grandma, thinking about it this way is thanks to the fact that the eldest lady is 320, and she can't walk at all, otherwise I would have to suffer this kind of hardship before.

At three o'clock in the unitary hour, Ming Zongyi returned to the inn with Mu Ling, who was carrying a large bag and a happy face. Qu Chen had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Ming Zongyi, he threw over a purse. It was Ming Zongyi. Ming Zongyi took the one given to him and subconsciously weighed it.

【"This... hasn't gotten lighter at all, what's going on, is it useless to ask me for money?"】

This behavior was really abnormal, Ming Zongyi subconsciously looked at Qu Chen, but the other party was as usual, calm and didn't explain anything, the three of them ate dinner and went back to their rooms to rest.

Ming Zongyi still practiced until late at night. He would occasionally feel complacent because he was a peerless genius, but he would never slack off because of it. He believed that everything was done by man, and if man did not do it, nothing would happen.

When Ming Zongyi stopped practicing, it was already late at night, and he was about to breathe out his inner breath to extinguish the candle, but the corner of his eyes swept out of the window again... It was Qu Chen, who was sitting on the roof, looking into the distance , with his back to Ming Zongyi, I don't know what he was thinking, when he spent the night in Xialing City, Qu Chen sat like that all night, and today, for some reason, he sat there again.

Ming Zongyi's quick thinking, thinking of Qu Chen's abnormal behavior of asking for money today but not taking the package and insisting on repacking, made a vague guess in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and made a decision.

Ming Zongyi turned over, grabbed onto the eaves with one arm, and flipped up easily with force. This movement naturally alarmed Qu Chen. He turned around and saw that the person who came was Ming Zongyi, showing his usual gentleness. smile.

"Zongyi, it's so late, why don't you rest?"

"Eldest brother, before you say this, you might as well look at what you are doing." Ming Zongyi stepped forward, sat next to Qu Chen, and said, "Eldest brother, are you going to the bookstore today?"

"......how you said that."

"When you stayed in the city before, like us, you put the package in the inn, but today you brought it, which is really abnormal. I have seen the contents of your package, except for a change of clothes. There is absolutely no reason to bring daily trivial things, except...the three books for the third brother."

Qu Chen's expression remained unchanged, but he didn't speak either.

Ming Zongyi continued:

"Considering your sudden request for money, senior brother, and the store's introduction to this book a few days ago, I think there should be some inappropriate plots in the book, so you plan to return these three books, senior brother. , and buy some others again, but when you come back, the shape of the package has not changed, and the money in the purse has not decreased, which means, big brother, you have neither returned the book nor bought a new one, the money must be enough Yes, that is, something else happened to make you change your mind, and this may be the reason why you stay up late at night, big brother..."

Ming Zongyi paused, and said in a low voice: "I dare not say that Fifth Senior Sister is as understanding, but she is more or less a listener. If Senior Brother has anything to say, you might as well tell me a few words."

eternal lighthouse

"Zongyi...Sometimes you shouldn't say anything good about you, but always observe what is there. If you guess wrong, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?"

Qu Chen looked at Ming Zongyi, and Ming Zongyi responded calmly, until Qu Chen couldn't bear Ming Zongyi's eyes, and began to smile wryly.

"But this time, you are right. If you don't think I'm a big brother, just listen to a few words."

Ming Zongyi said: "I would like to hear the details."

Qu Chen looked into the distance, let his eyes go blank, and sighed in a low voice: "I was entrusted by Fei Xing to buy him three or two idle books, that is, the 'Dead Blood'. I didn't think too much about it that day. I just flipped through it a few times, and you can hear what the store said that day, Zongyi. This book depicts an extremely dark martial arts. In recent days, I have occasionally heard people say that this is a dark book. I have read three of the masterpieces of this department, and this sentence is not wrong. The martial arts depicted in the book is indeed extremely dark, and each one is full of intrigues and intrigues. It can be said that there is no good person in the book, and everyone is doing it for themselves. Competing for interests..."

Although Ming Zongyi hasn't read too many idle books, he has heard many stories from storytellers and has a certain understanding of novels, so he immediately said: "This is indeed the case for the dark series."

"Until here, of course there is no problem... But the slogan used in this book is 'Give you the most authentic rivers and lakes', which is directly written on the title page. I went to the bookstore today and asked about it on the way Several people, and they all think that what is depicted in this book is the most real rivers and lakes."

Ming Zongyi was slightly taken aback, Qu Chen didn't speak again, the world was silent, and a full moon hung high in the sky, shining a brilliance that didn't belong to it.

After a long, long time, Qu Chen spoke.

"At that time, I was thinking...why would I think this way? The owner of the bookstore, and other people who read this book, have no internal energy fluctuations on their bodies, and there is no sign of martial arts. Obviously They are not from the Jianghu, but they all think this is the real Jianghu."

"I thought about it, turned over and over again this book of dead blood, and finally saw a few words in this book full of cannibalism."

Qu Shen said word by word:

"Darkness is reality."

"Although the people who read the book have neither been to temples nor rivers and lakes, they wishful thinking that the rivers and lakes are so dark, and everyone is born a bad person. Lixin, that is an idiot who is ignorant of the world, and he deserves to be swallowed without even his bones left. I asked the store a few times today, but anything that can be called 'true' is nothing less than that."

"The darker it is, the more real it is. They named these dark works as masterpieces of human nature. At that time, I couldn't help thinking... In fact, what they looked at was not Jianghu, but imaginary Human nature, for them, is human nature just pure evil?"

Ming Zongyi was speechless for a long time, and the facts were in front of him like iron. No matter how well written a book is, few people would praise the book as a real world, but if the world in a book is very dark, , so even if the quality is mediocre, some people will think that this is the real world, without false benevolence, righteousness and morality, and shackle masks, even if they have neither been to temples nor rivers and lakes.

Qu Chen asked: "Zongyi, do you know why?"

Ming Zongyi said calmly: "I haven't eaten a few mouthfuls of food since I was born, so I dare not speak falsely about human nature."

Now Qu Chen could only smile wryly, he stretched out his hands slowly, and said in a low voice: "Zong Yi, these fists have defeated many people, so many that even I can't count them, no matter what kind of enemy it is No matter what kind of battle, I have the confidence to fight to the end. However, I have seen some invincible things in this book. It is formless, deeply rooted, deeply rooted, endless, and endless. "

"That's why I want to return this book, and I don't want to take it back to Taixuan Mountain."

Ming Zongyi said: "But, you regretted it."

"Yes... I regret it." Qu Chen said: "Because I think it is meaningless, so what if I escape, this book is here, even if I don't take this book back, those Things don't go away, and it's pretty hopeless if even flying stars need to escape this."

"Brother." Ming Zongyi suddenly spoke, with a serious expression on his face, and said, "I haven't really walked through the rivers and lakes, and I don't make nonsense about human nature, but I believe in one thing."

Qu Shen whispered: "What's the matter?"

"It's up to people!"
