Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

There was a coughing sound from the side, the sound was not loud, but it seemed a little hasty, everyone looked at the place where the sound came from, but they saw that it was Tian Buyi who was sitting on the stone steps with a look of pain on his face, non-stop coughing. Lu Xueqi frowned slightly, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes. Tian Buyi's previous practice had already reached the point where all diseases were invulnerable, not to mention this little cough. Obviously Tian Buyi probably already had it in his body right now. What a trauma. Lu Xueqi groaned without saying a word, but Xiaohuan who was standing by the side quietly walked forward.Tian Buyi was slightly surprised, looked up at Xiaohuan, Xiaohuan smiled, and said: "This... Senior, thank you for saving me, my grandfather and the Taoist priest a few days ago."

A little smile appeared on Tian Buyi's face, and he said in a weary way: "A few trivial things are nothing to worry about. It's just that this place is ominous. It's not the place where you've been waiting for a long time. If there's nothing else, you'd better leave quickly." Zhou Yixian nodded repeatedly, and said: "Yes, yes, what he said is very true, Xiaohuan, let's go quickly." Xiaohuan gave her grandfather a blank look, and said to Tian Buyi: "Senior, is your health okay? Is there anything I can do for you?" Tian Buyi shook his head and said: "I'm fine, you just go, otherwise if that person comes back, I'm afraid you won't have such good luck to escape."

After finishing speaking, a faint trace of black suddenly passed over his fat face, and pain appeared on his face again, and he coughed again uncontrollably, and his voice seemed a little hoarse than before. The lich standing alone by the side kept staring at Tian Buyi, watching Tian Buyi's every move, on the face covered by the black cloth, only a pair of eyes revealed a thoughtful expression. Xiaohuan couldn't help Zhou Yixian's repeated urging behind him, and at the same time, it seemed that she couldn't help much, so she bowed her head and said goodbye to Tian Buyi, and then walked out with Zhou Yixian and the wild dog Taoist.But after walking a few steps, she couldn't help but glanced at the lich standing beside her, as if she had discovered something, she was stunned for a moment, and said to Zhou Yixian: "Grandpa, look at that man, how is he dressed?" Exactly the same as my...that master?"

Zhou Yixian didn't react for a while, and said in astonishment: "What master... uh!" After a pause, Zhou Yixian narrowed his eyes, looked at the Lich, pondered for a moment, and said: "There are too many strange people and monsters in this world. , it's hard to guarantee that there will be a few people who are similar to your... that pretending master, just ignore him, let's go quickly." Xiaohuan responded and followed, but she still couldn't help but look back at the Lich, and saw that the Lich didn't seem to notice the three people on Zhou Yixian's side at all, just stood there silently, watching Landing is not easy.

Soon, Zhou Yixian, Xiaohuan and Wild Dog Taoist also left the abandoned cemetery. This place, which seemed desolate at first, suddenly became more deserted, and Tian Buyi and Lu Xueqi's attention quickly They all looked at the mysterious man in black. Tian Buyi said indifferently: "Is there something else, Your Excellency?" The Lich was silent for a while, his eyes shifted from Tian Buyi to Lu Xueqi, and finally looked at Tian Buyi again. After a while, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, and finally he didn't say a word, and floated back, silently. He blended into the darkness of the night silently.

The night wind was cold and blew from a distance, and there was no one in the abandoned Yizhuang for a while, not even the common insect chirping in the wilderness was heard, it was dead silent. For some reason, Lu Xueqi suddenly felt uneasy. ※※※ Tian Buyi looked up at the sky, looked at the sky for a while, as if he was thinking about something.Lu Xueqi didn't know why he was suddenly in a daze, and didn't dare to disturb him for a while, but after a while, she didn't see any movement from Tian Buyi, and was worried about whether Tian Buyi was injured, just when she was about to ask, Tian Buyi suddenly lowered her head Head, followed by a much more severe cough than before.

Lu Xueqi was taken aback and didn't know what to do, so she could only ask, "Uncle Tian, ​​are you okay?" Tian Buyi coughed for quite a while, then slowly stopped, it seemed that he had recovered his breath.He shook his hand slowly, indicating that he was fine.Lu Xueqi still couldn't help but said: "Uncle Tian, ​​this place is not far from our Qingyun Mountain, I think we'd better go back to Qingyun first, and after meeting with the teachers, we can make a long-term plan." After hearing Lu Xueqi's words, Tian Buyi frowned, seemed to think of something suddenly, turned to look at Lu Xueqi, and said: "When I left, on the Big Bamboo Peak, and your Master Uncle Suru, are you okay?"

Lu Xueqi nodded and said: "Everything is fine for them, but everyone doesn't know where you are going, Master Tian, ​​so they are very anxious." Tian Buyi smiled slightly, as if he had let go of a stone in his heart, but there was a hint of bitterness in that smile. Lu Xueqi saw Tian Buyi's expression in her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "Uncle Tian, ​​those people said just now that you are fighting against a devil, who is that devil?" Tian Buyi glanced at Lu Xueqi, frowned, and didn't speak. Lu Xueqi met his gaze, and suddenly found that apart from being haggard, there seemed to be a trace of blackness that shouldn't appear on this Master Tian's face, looming.

Could it be that the strange magic that imprisoned him hurt the energy channels in his body?Lu Xueqi was secretly worried, but there was another more important matter in front of her that she had no choice but to face. She hesitated for a moment, and finally asked Tian Buyi in a low voice but clearly: "That man...is he Master Daoxuan?" Tian Buyi was shocked, his eyes suddenly shot a terrifying light, and said coldly: "What did you say?" Lu Xueqi hurriedly said: "Before this disciple went down the mountain, I had the trust of my mentor and told her a story about her old man and Uncle Tian and Uncle Su in the ancestor's ancestral hall."

Tian Buyi was stunned for a moment, with a look of astonishment on his face, but then he finally calmed down. After a while, he sighed and said, "I never thought that Shuiyue would tell you." Lu Xueqi said: "My teacher is because Master Daoxuan and Uncle Tian disappeared at the same time, Qing Yun Sect was in chaos, and she was very worried that Master Daoxuan was trapped by demons, but Senior Brother Xiao Yicai clearly did not I didn't know about this, so I had to make a sudden decision, let her guard the situation on Qingyun Mountain, and ordered the disciples to go down the mountain to find the two."

Tian Buyi was silent for a moment, and said: "If you found the head teacher at the foot of the mountain, and if he is really what your master worried about, did Shuiyue tell you, what should you do?" Lu Xueqi's face turned slightly pale, as if this secret was a huge burden for her, under Tian Buyi's gaze, she took a deep breath, and said resolutely: "Before this disciple went down the mountain, he had gone to the ancestral hall of Tongtian Peak Patriarch with his mentor, and made a solemn oath before the spiritual seat of the ancestors of the Qingyunmen: If the real thing can't be done, for the sake of Qingyunmen's reputation for thousands of years, this disciple will go all the way to the death. No mercy, and never reveal the slightest bit of this matter for life." Tian Buyi looked deeply at Lu Xueqi, nodded slowly at the end, but let out a long sigh: "Although I don't like Shuiyue as a person, I have to say that she really taught a good disciple." Lu Xueqi had no expression on her face, she lowered her head, and said, "Master Tian, ​​you are overrated." Tian Buyi said indifferently: "Among the second-generation disciples of the Qingyun Sect, there are no less than a thousand of them. If you look around, there are only a few who can take on such an important task. Sigh..." He was silent for a while, then continued: "You just guessed Not bad, the person I fought with here a few days ago is exactly your sect master Daoxuan." Although Lu Xueqi had vaguely guessed it long ago, but she couldn't help being shocked when she heard Tian Buyi say this with her own ears, and after a long while, she said in a low voice: "Then... the old man's body of the sect master ..." Tian Buyi snorted, shook his head, and sighed: "He's sunk in the mud, it's hard to extricate himself." Lu Xueqi was silent. Tian Buyi paused for a moment, then continued: "There are twists and turns, it's a long story, but since you already know the whole story, I have nothing to hide from you. On that day, I first noticed that Senior Brother Daoxuan was indeed on the verge of going crazy. I just went up to Tongtian Peak, and it turned out that he was really in the ancestral hall of the patriarch... Later, we fought in the ancestral hall of the patriarch, but although he was enchanted, his morality did not weaken much. In the end, after some fighting , I was still restrained by him." Lu Xueqi was listening on the side, but she was secretly surprised. She knew about Tian Buyi and Daoxuan Daoxuan's Daoist practice, and she had seen it with her own eyes. The intense battle situation can be imagined, although Tian Buyi said it seems to be an understatement at the moment, but the scene at that time is not difficult to imagine. Tian Buyi showed a wry smile on his face, and said: "I went that day, and I was prepared. It would be best if I could wake up Senior Brother Daoxuan, but if it didn't work, I had to try my best. Back then in the Patriarch's Ancestral Hall, I When I eavesdropped on this secret with your master Shuiyue, I heard senior brother Wan say that after being enchanted, the humane practice will be damaged due to the demon power entering the body, and the first officer will decline. Naturally, I know the Taoism of senior brother Daoxuan He is deeper than me, and what he thought that day was just to fight him to the death together. After all, this matter must never be spread outside." Lu Xueqi was full of respect in her heart, and said sincerely: "Master Tian has such a heart, the sun and the moon can prove it, and the ancestors of all generations will definitely bless you." Tian Buyi shook his head, and said: "Who knows that after I fought with Senior Brother Daoxuan, I found that although he was possessed by a demon, his skills were still as profound as usual. After several fierce fights, I was still defeated and captured. It's just that I don't know why, but he didn't intend to kill me, instead he took me down the mountain secretly and came to this spooky abandoned Yizhuang, where he imprisoned me." Lu Xueqi was reminded by him, and hurriedly asked: "Then Master Tian, ​​are you injured? I think you look very bad?" Tian Buyi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Lu Xueqi's words, but then he understood, and laughed at himself slightly: "Being stuffed into that coffin and locked up for so many days, naturally no one will do anything good I look better." Lu Xueqi frowned, still feeling a little uneasy in her heart, but she couldn't tell what was wrong for a while, so she kept silent. Tian Buyi glanced at her and said: "You know about this matter, what are your plans now?" Lu Xueqi frowned, and said: "Master Uncle Tian, ​​then... where is Master Daoxuan?" Tian Buyi shook his head, and said: "After he became demon, his ways of doing things are completely unpredictable. He often leaves us alone and comes back after leaving for a few days. Calculated that he just left this Yizhuang yesterday, I'm afraid he will It will take a few days to come back, but it is not certain, occasionally he will come back the next day." Lu Xueqi hesitated for a moment, and said: "Uncle Tian, ​​why don't we go back to the mountain first, although it's not appropriate to publicize this matter, as long as you find my mentor and Uncle Suru, you three teachers can discuss it together, I think it will be better way." Tian Buyi was silent for a moment, but finally shook his head and said: "No, firstly, Senior Brother Daoxuan has become deeply possessed and his mind has changed drastically. No one can predict what he will do; secondly, what if we Mountain, but lost his whereabouts from now on, so what should I do?" He paused, then said: "How about this, why don't you go back to the mountain first, tell Shuiyue and your Uncle Suru what happened, and let them come quickly." Lu Xueqi hesitated for a moment, then said: "Then if Master Daoxuan is coming back tonight, what should we do?" Tian Buyi smiled faintly, did not speak immediately, but stood up slowly. He is short and fat, and his appearance is not outstanding, but for some reason, he stands so casually, but he has a power of his own, awe-inspiring and respectful. "You have practiced all your life, why did you come here?" Tian Buyi said in a low voice, "How can you be timid in front of a battle with a man's body?" Lu Xueqi also quietly stood up behind him. In her eyes, Tian Buyi seemed to have nothing worthy of her attention other than being that person's teacher, but at this moment, she I really admire this senior uncle from the bottom of my heart. She gritted her teeth and said loudly: "Tian Shishu, you just got out of trouble not long ago and you still need to sit quietly to rest, I will protect the Dharma for you tonight, and tomorrow morning, I will rush back to Qingyun and tell my benefactor and Uncle Suru to go down the mountain. If Master Daoxuan really returns tonight..." Tian Buyi was a little surprised. Hearing this, he glanced at Lu Xueqi and said, "How?" Lu Xueqi smiled slightly, her face became more beautiful in the night wind blowing slowly, and said: "Among Qingyun's disciples, you are not the only one who can see death as home!" Tian Buyi stared at Lu Xueqi for a long time, Fang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Well said, well said, it's a good sentence to regard death as home." Lu Xueqi smiled lightly, and said: "Uncle Tian, ​​you should sit down and adjust your breath quickly." Tian Buyi didn't say much, just nodded, sat down on the moss-covered stone steps again, and closed his eyes.Lu Xueqi looked around, and saw that the night was bleak and windy, not to mention people, even ghosts seemed hard to find. The night is dark, who knows what kind of day tomorrow will be? She didn't want to think too much, so she sat down at Tian Buyi's first place and closed her eyes. ※※※ I don't know how long she sat like this, Lu Xueqi's mood gradually became a little clear, although she didn't open her eyes, but the breath in her body was flowing, but she seemed to be able to feel the plants and trees far and near outside her body, as if she had witnessed it with her own eyes. She was quite comforted in her heart, these days, she was often tossed and suffered from lovesickness, but this body of practice seemed to be more advanced and not wasted.It's just that she immediately discovered that although she had such a spiritual sense, for some reason, Tian Buyi, who had been sitting beside her all the time, seemed to have no effect on him, and she couldn't even feel the heartbeat that he should have. . Lu Xueqi immediately paid respect to Tian Buyi in her heart, it seems that these senior Qingyun elders really have amazing skills. She was thinking like this in her heart, when suddenly she heard Tian Buyi's voice, saying: "Nephew Lu..." Lu Xueqi opened her eyes, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Tian, ​​just call me Xueqi." Tian Buyi looked at her, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, seemed to have a lot of meaning, he nodded slowly, and said: "Xueqi." Lu Xueqi smiled and said, "Yes, Master Tian, ​​what's the matter?" Tian Buyi looked away from her and didn't speak immediately, Lu Xueqi felt a little strange, Tian Buyi's eyes seemed to drift away, looking at some unknown place, after a long while, he suddenly said: "You used to talk to me The ineffective seventh disciple of my sect, you know him, right?" Lu Xueqi was startled, she who had always been calm for a while actually felt at a loss, even under her fair cheeks, two flakes of faint pink flew up for no apparent reason. Resisting the faster heartbeat, Lu Xueqi managed to calm down, but she still had a bit of embarrassment and shyness in her expression, and said in a low voice: "Yes, Master Tian, ​​you, why did you suddenly ask this?" Tian Buyi was expressionless, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, he seemed to be talking about something unimportant to him, and said indifferently: "I heard that you have been walking down the mountain all these years, and you have a very close relationship with Lao Qi. And because of the relationship between Lao Qi, you were punished by your master several times, and there was even one time when you refused the personal proposal of the owner of Fenxiang Valley in front of Daoxuan senior brother and your master in front of a large crowd?" At this moment, Lu Xueqi couldn't figure out why Tian Buyi suddenly said these words, but her cheeks were burning hot, and she was blushing presumably, and her heart was flustered for some reason, as if talking about this in front of Tian Buyi, who had always been a stranger. However, it made her more flustered than her respected teacher Shuiyue. "...Yes," Lu Xueqi became a little hesitant and stammered for the first time, and after a long while she said in a low voice: "But I refused to propose marriage, not all because of him, I don't like it myself, that's why..." Tian Buyi suddenly stopped her and asked directly: "Do you like my seventh child?" There was a buzzing sound in Lu Xueqi's mind, she felt that her face was getting hotter, she looked at Tian Buyi, only to see Tian Buyi's eyes were shining, staring at her.Under those gazes, Lu Xueqi suddenly felt a surge of courage, she sat up straight suddenly, took a deep breath, looked directly at Tian Buyi, and said loudly and crisply: "yes!" This sound was like breaking ice and cutting snow, crisp and sweet, without any hesitation and repetition, just like the clear eyes in her eyes, without any impurities. The corner of Tian Buyi's mouth grinned, but he laughed loudly, he laughed unscrupulously, but he was genuinely happy. Lu Xueqi felt shy when she heard him laugh, but before she knew it, her feelings for this short and fat uncle became more cordial. When Tian Buyi's laughter faded away and she looked at Lu Xueqi again, Lu Xueqi smiled slightly, but then she was inexplicably sad, and said in a low voice: "It's a pity that he is now... the teachers may not be able to tolerate him anymore , if he can return to Qingyun, that would be great!" Tian Buyi rolled his eyes strangely, and said coldly: "What return, I never said that I have kicked out this useless guy?" Lu Xueqi was startled, not understanding what Tian Buyi meant for a moment, she looked up at him. Tian Buyi said lightly: "I know, aren't you just worried about your master?" Lu Xueqi lowered her head, and said for a while: "Master, she is also doing it for my own good, and she is not wrong, it was me who was wrong, I understand." Tian Buyi suddenly gave a "bah", this somewhat rude behavior startled Lu Xueqi, raised her eyes to look at Tian Buyi, Tian Buyi glanced at the distant Qingyun Mountain, and said: "I just think, That master of yours is really becoming more and more like your real grandparents back then. She doesn’t know what to do, and she cares about everything, but she also likes to care about the minds of her disciples. Could it be that she is also like her master? Don't you get old and confused?" Lu Xueqi said angrily: "Uncle Tian, ​​why are you talking nonsense?" Tian Buyi glanced at Lu Xueqi, chuckled, then waved his hand, and said, "Don't worry, after this matter is over, I will take care of you." Lu Xueqi was startled, and said, "What?" Tian Buyi sneered and said, "You are not the only one, you also have a senior sister named Wen Min?" Lu Xueqi nodded, and said: "Yes, Senior Sister Wen Min... She is actually somewhat close to Senior Brother Song Daren from Dazhu Peak." When she said this, she couldn't help showing a little smile. Tian Buyi glared at her, and said angrily: "Song Daren is also a wooden fish head." Lu Xueqi burst out laughing, and said: "When our Senior Sister Wen Min talked about Senior Brother Song with us in private, she really kept saying that." Tian Buyi shook his head, he seemed to be quite dissatisfied with that simple and honest senior disciple, wondered if he thought Song Daren had humiliated him, and then said: "Don't worry, I will personally go to Xiaozhu Peak in the future, for me These two incompetent guys under the door proposed to your master face to face." As soon as these words came out, Lu Xueqi's face flushed immediately, it was something she had never done before, in a hurry, she could only say angrily: "Uncle Tian, ​​if you continue to tease this disciple like this, I, I will be annoyed." Tian Buyi glanced at her and said: "I'm telling the truth, when did I tease you? Could it be that you don't want to marry our seventh child?" Lu Xueqi said urgently: "No...ah, no, I didn't mean that, I was..." Tian Buyi blinked his eyes a few times on his chubby face, and said solemnly: "Then what do you mean?" Lu Xueqi was suffocated for a moment, she didn't know what to say, she didn't know whether her face was anxious or shy, her fair skin was pink, and there was a kind of shocking beauty. Tian Buyi smiled slightly and said: "Okay, I won't say anything more, I think you are also a smart woman, what do I mean, you should understand?" Lu Xueqi took a deep breath, and slowly calmed down, but on her beautiful face, there was still a bit of rouge-like color, but her eyes were as clear and bright as before. After a while, she slowly but firmly said Nodding, said: "Yes, disciple understands." Tian Buyi stared at her, and then asked: "Are you willing?" The pink on Lu Xueqi's cheeks seemed to have deepened again, but this time, she was as calm as before, and said: "yes!"
