Chapter 15 The thirteenth round of heartbroken red at the bottom of the sword

After rushing for tens of miles, Shen Xuan finally fell to the ground, blood dripping down the stone road. When he woke up, he was half lying in a wet bamboo basket.The bamboo basket was being dragged and slowly slid on the muddy floor.A gray monk's robe floated over. "Master..." Shen Xuan called softly.Withered Leaf's kind face full of wrinkles turned around: "Oh, I told you not to go. You are so hurt..." In the thatched hut filled with medicinal fragrance among the dead leaves, Shen Xuan counted the cold stars outside the window, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.Only then could he calm down and think about the day's events.Who was hiding in the dark, picked up the sword he had dropped and threw it at Jiang Tingsong.Originally, there was time to catch him, but he and Jiang Lingqian were only focused on arguing, and no one thought of it.Li'er, Li'er, he thought of this name sadly.The stars and the breeze last night are just like Gao Tang's dream ears.In a moment, the wind blows away, leaving only endless hatred.

Also, what happened to the green blood poison on the sword?He didn't dare to think about this question but had to think about it.Who owns the untold secret of the Dongting School, and when did it quietly smear it on its own sword?These days he has been wandering, and there are many people who can get close to this sword, and there are not a few of them who have reasons to assassinate Jiang Tingsong.Since he left Junshan, this sword has not been stained with blood, and Jiang Tingsong is the first one.Of course, the people on Junshan knew about the poison of green blood... He didn't want to suspect those closest people, and then he thought again, in fact, he decided to go to Tiantai Mountain long after he left the Dongting School.Only Ye Qingchen, Ji Rulan and Qingmei knew about it.It is impossible for Ji Rulan to have the blood poison, Qingmei is a little girl who is not familiar with the world, he smiled wryly: "Could it be Brother Ye?"His martial arts are superior to Jiang Tingsong, if you want to kill him, you can do it openly.Li'er doesn't believe in herself, yet she even doubts her brother-in-law!

Could it be Princess Wuyue again... When the sky was twilight, he gradually closed his eyes, slept until sunrise, and got up to say goodbye.The dead leaves stopped him bitterly, insisting that he recover from his injuries before leaving.Shen Xuan knew that the injury couldn't be healed well, and couldn't resist the old man's kindness, so he had to stay for another day.On the third day, some mountain people came to invite the dead leaves to see the doctor, so Shen Xuan left a note and left quietly. Downhill is faster than uphill.But in a few days, the mountain flowers along the way have withered one after another, and the wind is blowing in chaos, which is the scene of late spring.It really is a day in the mountains, ten years in the world.

Shen Xuan didn't know where to go, of course Dongting Lake couldn't go back, and Li'er didn't want to see him anymore, or go to Brother Ye?But what if you find him?It's better to wander around in the rivers and lakes, and fall down on the spot when the deadline is reached.In the past few days, he vomited more blood than usual. Maybe he can be relieved without waiting half a year?Thinking of this, Shen Xuan felt a little happy, and ordered a big jug of wine for lunch at a small roadside shop. The waiter from the shop delivered the wine, but he had a weird expression on his face, and he couldn't stop looking at the luggage behind him.

At this time, the proprietress who was sitting at the door said: "Master, do you have a companion who got lost along the way?" "No!" Shen Xuan wondered. The shop waiter said: "Sister, is the long one you are carrying on your back a qin?" "Yes." Shen Xuan had already vaguely guessed what was going on. "That's right, that's right," the proprietress said with a smile, "A little girl came to ask at noon yesterday if there was a young gentleman with a sword and a qin on his back. There are a few people with swords passing by these days. I have never seen the person who recites the piano. I didn't expect to come today."

Shen Xuan wondered, "What kind of girl is she? Wearing black clothes?" "I'm really sorry," the proprietress said with a smile, "that girl is so pretty, like a little fairy. I just looked at her little face, but I didn't see any clothes on. Is she your sister? She went to Go ahead." Could it really be her?Shen Xuan's face turned red involuntarily, but then turned pale again: She didn't stay on the mountain to pay respects to her grandfather, she chased after her in a hurry, most likely she still wouldn't let me go.In fact, why are you in such a hurry?Of course Shen Xuan didn't want to meet her, but for some reason, he subconsciously speeded up his journey.

A few days later, I arrived in Yuezhou (now Shaoxing).Shili Pinghu is as bright as a mirror, with skylight and cloud shadows.Shen Xuan sat on a restaurant named Tingxuelou by the Jinghu Lake, feeling uneasy.As soon as he entered Yuezhou City, he felt that someone was secretly watching him from behind, and he knew intuitively that it was definitely not that person.But who exactly? A row of black awning boats moored quietly by the lake, and a green bamboo raft slowly slipped by in the middle of the lake.A man in white was sitting on the bamboo raft, with a light gauze covering his face.Shen Xuan felt that this person seemed to have been seen somewhere, and his heart moved, and suddenly his anger reversed, and he couldn't help but vomit blood again.At this time, a yang force came from behind, helping him to slowly suppress the countercurrent in his body.After a while, the attack was suppressed.Shen Xuan turned his head to look, but saw a short old woman with gray temples, and quickly bowed down: "Thank you, Senior Cao, for saving me."

This old woman is none other than Cao Zhiping, the head of the Yuezhou Jinghu Sword Sect.The Jinghu Sword Sect and the Dongting Sect have long been in touch, Cao Zhiping brought his disciples to the Three Drunken Palace as guests a few years ago, so they know each other. Cao Zhiping said: "Mr. Shen, your internal injury is not serious!" Shen Xuan smiled, but felt quite strange in his heart, he had already been expelled from the family by Wu Jianzhi, now he is a traitor of a decent family, why did Cao Zhiping Be so polite to him?At this time, Cao Zhiping said again: "Last month we received a letter from the head of your sect Wu, mentioning that you came to the south of the Yangtze River, please take care of you. Your ancestor and your father have been friends with our sect for generations. If you have anything to do, just say ,You are Welcome."

The more Shen Xuan heard it, the more amazed he became. Ordinary sects expelled their disciples, and always sent a letter to inform the world.Wu Jianzhi not only kept the matter a secret, but also took care of his friends in Jianghu.He had no choice but to say to Cao Zhiping: "Thank you, senior Cao, for your kindness. The junior just suffered a small injury, so don't worry about it, senior." Although Cao Zhiping didn't believe it, she still said: "That's all right." After a pause, he continued, "Our faction is here today to hear that Xuelou is going to do a big event, and since the young master is injured, don't get involved at that time. "

Although Shen Xuan was a little curious, according to the rules of the world, it was not good to ask casually about this matter.The bamboo raft of the man in white in the lake has long since disappeared.The Guandao Wharf downstairs is full of people coming and going.Cao Zhiping didn't look out the window, but just talked to Shen Xuan leisurely, and Shen Xuan had no choice but to answer one by one. Suddenly, the waiter downstairs greeted: "This guest, come in and have a cup of tea." Cao Zhiping's old eyes suddenly shone brightly.It turned out that a slender girl wearing a black veil came in downstairs, Shen Xuan saw it, and was stunned.

——It was Jiang Lingqian who came.She went down the mountain to chase Shen Xuan, but because Shen Xuan was left behind by dead leaves for a day, she walked ahead instead.It sounds strange that Xuelou is originally a restaurant, but it invites passers-by to "drink tea".She glanced at the guests on the first floor, and knowing the general situation, she walked into the seat, ordered a cup of weak tea, and drank it slowly. Shen Xuan paled, got up and wanted to go downstairs to warn her.Cao Zhiping held him down: "No hurry." Shen Xuan was puzzled, and suddenly heard Jiang Lingqian say: "How many shrimp soldiers and crab generals from the Jinghu faction have come? Why don't we go out to fight, so as not to damage the things of the master's family." Sure enough, there were seven or eight women in the seat who drew their swords, some of them pretended to be idle women in the market, and some pretended to be prostitutes, and they had been waiting here for a long time.Jiang Lingqian sneered, swayed, and landed on the shore of the lake outside Tingxuelou, standing with his back to the water.Those Jinghu faction female disciples drove out one after another, surrounding her in a semicircle.Shen Xuan looked at the formation and cried out inwardly that it was not good. Jiang Lingqian was slightly surprised when he saw the women standing there, showing no intention of doing anything.At this time, there was a dry cough from behind, and then five figures "hula la" flew out of the five black-covered boats moored by the water.Jiang Lingqian was startled, turned around suddenly, and saw five people standing in a row, Li Suping sneered in the middle: "Demon girl, this is the time for you to subdue the law! If you know what is good, you will be arrested obediently, and you will be spared a good beating." Only then did Jiang Lingqian realize that he underestimated the enemy.She saw that the few in the restaurant were only the second and third generation disciples of the Jinghu Sect, so she was nothing to be afraid of, so she stood proudly behind the water, but she did not expect that five first-class masters of the Jinghu Sect were ambushed in the awning boat. Inevitably a fierce battle.She took out the Qingjue sword, wiped it lightly, and said with a smile: "The defeated general is worthy of saying such words!" Li Suping was deeply ashamed that Jiang Lingqian took her weapon away in one move on the Yellow Crane Tower that day.At this time, he was exposed to many of his fellow disciples, and he was really furious. He used the move of "Pingsha Luoyan" and charged at Jiang Lingqian.Jiang Lingqian floated to meet her.In the blink of an eye, the two had switched positions.The sword in Li Suping's hand fell into Jiang Lingqian's hands again. Jiang Lingqian said with a smile: "Your move is really bad. You have already opened your door wide and revealed everything to others, but you still want to do this kind of volley and fall. There is no foundation in the force. Isn't it obvious that you are sending the sword to the door? "As he spoke, he raised his left hand and threw Li Suping's sword into the lake.A boatman on the black-covered boat flew up immediately, and took the sword just as it hit the water.The people in the restaurant applauded loudly. Shen Xuan saw that the boatman was also very skilled, and was very anxious.Cao Zhiping saw his fidgeting.Cao Zhiping then said: "Young Master Shen, don't worry, although the sisters of our faction are not good enough, they are expected to be able to take down this demon girl. If you want to take revenge, you can also hand it over to our faction." Shen Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that in the eyes of everyone, he and Jiang Lingqian should be enemies in the past, and they would punish each other when they met each other.He couldn't help but bewildered. At this time, the five disciples of the Jinghu Sect downstairs had already clashed with Jiang Lingqian.Among the five people are four of Cao Zhiping's peers and sisters, and one is her first apprentice.They seem to have used a formation to besiege Jiang Lingqian.Shen Xuan looked at it for a while, and found that Jiang Lingqian played one against five, although he tried his best, he was not at a disadvantage, even if he lost, it was easy to get out.Jinghu's swordsmanship is simple and steady, but it just lacks flexibility.Jiang Lingqian's lightness kung fu is superb, his swordsmanship is light and agile, and he deals with him like a butterfly wearing flowers, like a willow oriole, with the utmost ingenuity.Shen Xuan felt a little relieved, and suddenly saw Cao Zhiping, remembering what Wu Ting said before, after the death of the heroine Wang Hanping in the Jinghu Sword School, there were few real masters in the sect, only Cao Zhiping was left to barely support.Just now Li Suping seemed to be the second person in the school, not as good as Jiang Lingqian.As long as Cao Zhiping does not act, Jiang Lingqian will not be in danger.Thinking of this, he has made up his mind, if Cao Zhiping wants to go downstairs, he will try to detain her.Cao Zhiping was defenseless against herself, and should have a chance to succeed. Shen Xuan chatted with Cao Zhiping: "But I don't know how the noble sect and Miss Jiang formed a relationship?" He couldn't say the word "witch" no matter what. Cao Zhiping wondered, "Don't you know, my lord? This witch..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stood up.It turned out that four of the five Jinghu disciples downstairs were injured, and the disciples on the periphery did not dare to go forward, but surrounded them tightly. Before Cao Zhiping could take a step, someone grabbed her right shoulder.With a wave of her right arm, she threw Shen Xuan out with a move of "Grand Master Swinging Sleeve", and at the same time pushed her left elbow backward.Shen Xuan had expected her hand earlier, and was about to dodge to the right, but his right arm turned with the momentum, still entangled her.Unexpectedly, at this juncture, the old injury suddenly broke out, and his blood was surging, and he was hit hard by Cao Zhiping's left elbow.It turned out that when Cao Zhiping healed him just now, he was only subdued temporarily, but at this moment, he was agitated by the internal force.With a cry of surprise, staring at him, he fell on the railing, a mouthful of blood sprayed on his front. Cao Zhiping looked back and saw that it was him, she was very surprised.He didn't have time to ask any more questions, so he flew downstairs and landed in front of Jiang Lingqian.Jiang Lingqian looked upstairs suspiciously, it turned out that she had heard Shen Xuan's cry, but she couldn't see him.Cao Zhiping said: "Little demon girl, there may be something to say about your refuge in Chen Xiangyuan. But if you still have a bit of shame, you should follow us to meet Tang Daxia and his son." Jiang Lingqian exclaimed: "It's a joke! I like to marry or not, I need you to worry about it! You don't care about many things in the world, but you come to meddle in my business. Mrs. Cao, you are the head of Jinghu, when did you become the Tang family's boss?" Are you a minion?" Cao Zhiping said in a deep voice, "Stop talking nonsense! An immoral, self-willed and lowly witch like you, a decent person, everyone can control her!" Jiang Lingqian sneered: "Forget it, I'll tell you for you. Your precious junior sister has been in my hands twice. If the Jinghu faction doesn't get rid of me, how can you get rid of the hatred in your heart? Anyway, killing me, a witch, is justified. "Cao Zhiping said: "That's right. Your martial arts are really strong. If you are a righteous person, it is a blessing for the martial arts. It is a pity that you are born as a demon and deviant, so everyone has to get rid of you as soon as possible. I don't need this principle. Tell me clearly." Although Jiang Lingqian's mouth was strong, his face was already pale with anger, and he said coldly: "If you have the ability, get rid of me. Except for me, you Jinghu sent to be immortal!" , and lifted Cao Zhiping's left shoulder.Although Jiang Lingqian's skill level cannot be compared with Cao Zhiping's, but she has superb swordsmanship and quick movements. After a few quick stabs, Cao Zhiping can only parry.Cao Zhiping retreated a few steps and started the attack slowly, without changing his face, he unfolded his own swordsmanship and dismantled Jiang Lingqian. Shen Xuan fell on the railing and couldn't move.He saw that Cao Zhiping's swordsmanship was rigorous, and she was much better than her junior sister, so he was just anxious.But Jiang Lingqian is not easy to deal with, the Tiantai School has excellent lightness kungfu, dexterous gait while walking, slippery without holding back, even if he is at a disadvantage, he is not easy to be caught.What's more, Jiang Lingqian's martial arts is only slightly inferior to Cao Zhiping's, so he is not at a disadvantage right now. Cao Zhiping couldn't fight for a long time, and gradually became anxious, and the sword was getting faster and faster, and the tiger was like a tiger.Jiang Lingqian slowed down his sword at this time, just parrying and dodging, intending to lure the enemy.Cao Zhiping shouted loudly, and with a move of "Sky Horse and Unconstrained Style", the sword tip left and slashed towards Jiang Lingqian's right temple.Jiang Lingqian has long been observing her flaws, waiting for the opportunity.At this time, seeing that she was putting all her strength on her right arm, and her lower body was empty, she smiled slightly, and turned her body slightly, pointing the tip of the sword towards her two knees.Cao Zhiping's moves were so old that she didn't have time to return her sword to protect her, so her knees softened and she knelt on the ground. Jiang Lingqian took half a step back, not feeling complacent: "You hurt people, and you still don't give me an apology!" All the Jinghu disciples around pointed their swords at her. Jiang Lingqian said again: "None of you from the Jinghu sect can beat me. If you want to kill the martial arts, you'd better hire someone else!" Suddenly, twelve silver lights flew from the sky, intertwined into a net, covering Jiang Lingqian's whole body.Jiang Lingqian was shocked, turned around quickly, raised the long sword in his hand, there was a clanging sound, the silver light fell to the ground, and it turned out to be a string of throwing knives thrown by the sky net technique.It's just that Jiang Lingqian was unprepared for this sneak attack, and a throwing knife was stuck on his right shoulder, blood was flowing.At this moment, Cao Zhiping, who was kneeling on the ground, sprang up, threw herself on the ground, reached out and grabbed Jiang Lingqian's ankle and dragged Jiang Lingqian, who was standing unsteadily, to the ground, and immediately touched the acupuncture points on her lower body. The head of Cao Zhiping's faction actually resorted to such a despicable move, Jiang Lingqian was furious, and swung his sword to slash at her.She had no choice but to sit on the ground and couldn't move, her right limb was injured and weak, and Cao Zhiping grabbed her forearm before she could finish a move.Only two "clicks, clicks" were heard, and the old woman's wrist was broken in one fell swoop. Jiang Lingqian screamed and fell to the ground like a swallow with a broken wing.Cao Zhiping staggered to his feet, and said loudly: "Where is the expert who helped to eliminate the demon, the Jinghu faction thank you in advance." Jiang Lingqian gritted his teeth and sneered, "You guys should thank him well!" There was only a flutter of weapons, and four armored warriors emerged from each black-covered boat.Cao Zhiping and others were shocked, and found that all their boatmen had been detained by these warriors without anyone noticing.A middle-aged scholar wearing a yellow turban came down waving a paper fan, and said with a smile, "Nvxia Cao is also a famous figure, so it's too cruel to deal with a little girl like this!" This person is none other than Wang Zhaoxi, one of the two great generals under Princess Wuyue. He used twelve throwing knives to run across the south of the Yangtze River, and his martial arts are quite impressive. Cao Zhiping and the others didn't care about Jiang Lingqian who was lying on the ground, and a row of female disciples stood back to back, waiting in full force.Cao Zhiping said loudly: "Wang Zhaoxi! How are you going to do it! Our Jinghu Sword Sect and Princess Wuyue have a deep hatred. You bring all the guards from the Wuyue Palace, and none of the Jinghu disciples is greedy for life and afraid of death!" Wang Zhaoxi laughed and said, "Why is it so serious! When and what to do, never interrupt - this is the rule of our concubine. Your Jinghu faction hid the traitor Qian Shijun on Kuaiji Mountain , I want to wait for the opportunity, and I will find your important person in the head of Cao tomorrow." Cao Zhiping couldn't help turning pale when she heard this.It was not long ago that Qian Shijun sneaked back to Yuezhou. Unexpectedly, Princess Wuyue heard about it, and made it so clear that it was obvious that Qian Shijun was determined to be captured.Wang Zhaoxi continued, "Today, we just need to take her away." He pointed to Jiang Lingqian, "I'm satisfied." At this time, Jiang Lingqian's acupoints had been hit, her wrists were in severe pain, and she could only lie down and let others manipulate her.She turned her face away and closed her eyes tightly. Li Suping shouted: "Don't even think about it! Do you want to take advantage of the person our sisters have worked so hard to catch?" Wang Zhaoxi made a surprised look: "Nvxia Li, you have to speak with your conscience. I don't want to help you. The Hu faction has already been beaten by her, and you still talk about arresting people!" Although he was pretending to be refined, his eyes were full of radiance, and there was a faint murderous look. Cao Zhiping said loudly: "My Jinghu Sword Sect has clear grievances and grievances. Your Excellency, we have already thanked you for your help. But this man cannot be let go. Today, my Jinghu Sword Sect will swear to the death to catch this person who flouts etiquette and disobedience. Slut, thank the gentlemen of the world and uphold the ethos of martial arts." Wang Zhaoxi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's good, good! It's better than an old woman who thinks she's high and meddling in her own business! If our concubine didn't appreciate Miss Jiang, she wouldn't Feili invites her!" Li Suping was furious and wanted to compete with Wang Zhaoxi with her sword.Cao Zhiping shouted: "Junior Sister, step down!" But he stretched out his hand to Jiang Lingqian, wanting to take him away.With a flash of Wang Zhaoxi's figure, a folding fan hit Cao Zhiping's tiger's mouth, causing numbness and pain.Cao Zhiping shouted angrily: "Are you really going to make a move?" Wang Zhaoxi smiled and didn't answer, rolled up his sleeves, and even went to pull Jiang Lingqian. "Stop, no one is allowed to touch her!" The voice was not loud, even out of breath, but everyone was still stunned, and stopped their hands unconsciously, only to see Shen Xuan walking slowly, with blood all over the shirt. Just now he fell on the railing, the air in his body collided, blood spurted wildly, and he passed out after a while.However, he finally heard Jiang Lingqian's cry, gritted his teeth and struggled to stand up, and went downstairs step by step with his long sword. Seeing that his face was pale and his brows were furrowed, Wang Zhaoxi already understood most of it, and said with a smile, "I should have expected that wherever Miss Jiang is, Dr. Shen will be there too. Is Dr. Shen in good health recently?" Shen Xuan turned a deaf ear to it, walked straight to Jiang Lingqian, and stretched out his hand to release her acupuncture point, but now he can't use half of his internal strength, his hands are only trembling.Jiang Lingqian still closed her eyes tightly, refusing to look at him, with tears hanging on her eyelashes.Seeing this, Shen Xuan felt a thousand feelings in his heart, hard to describe, but he held her hand, wanting to connect the severed wrist first. Wang Zhaoxi looked at them with a smile, and instead of disturbing them, he stepped back a few steps.Li Suping and others who recognized Shen Xuan told him to step back quickly.Shen Xuan was at a loss, he knew that these two groups of people were Jiang Lingqian's mortal enemies, and now that he was really angry, it was the time when the attack was so painful that he couldn't even stand up, how could he take her away!Although he walked out desperately, there was no hope of rescuing her. Cao Zhiping knew what Shen Xuan meant.At this moment, several ideas came to her mind, fearing that if Jiang Lingqian was taken away by Wang Zhaoxi and went to seek refuge with Princess Wuyue, wouldn't it be even more troublesome!Then he shouted: "Young Master Shen is bewildered by this witch, stab the witch to death first!" A group of Jinghu disciples surrounded him with a "huh", and more than a dozen swords gleaming with cold light pierced Jiang Lingqian who was powerless to fight back.Wang Zhaoxi couldn't help being shocked, and was about to throw the throwing knives when he heard a clanging sound, and all the long swords of the Jinghu sect fell to the ground.It turned out to be Shen Xuan, at this moment of life and death, with strength from nowhere, he drew out his saber, swiped around in a daze, and unexpectedly hit everyone's wrists with one move.The encirclement disappeared immediately, and Shen Xuan himself didn't realize that this was a move in the "Majestic Dongting" drawn by the haze of the five lakes. He spit out a big mouthful of blood again, and was about to collapse. Cao Zhiping was angry and anxious: "Mr. Shen, you, you are too ignorant. We also said who abducted the Tang family's wife, but I didn't expect it to be you! After being a decent family, you are so stupid to get together with this witch! I am ashamed of my ancestors... Take Mr. Shen together and bring him to Sect Master Wu to teach him!" It's just that more than half of the Jinghu disciples were injured by Shen Xuan, but no one stepped forward for a while.Cao Zhiping personally went to arrest Shen Xuan.At this moment, Wang Zhaoxi suddenly got into trouble and slapped her chest.Cao Zhiping was defenseless for a moment, and was beaten back three steps in a row, bleeding from the corner of her mouth. Wang Zhaoxi smiled and said, "Nvxia Cao, you are so foolish. Doctor Shen and Miss Jiang are both talented and beautiful, they are a good pair of mandarin ducks. You insist on saying these words to kill the scenery. I can't stand my slap, if you want to give A lesson for you. Come, come, Dr. Shen, this time you and Miss Jiang will return to the palace, the empress must be very happy, and you will be more blue-eyed than before." Cao Zhiping and a group of disciples were already injured, even though the Jinghu Sect didn't want Jiang Lingqian and Shen Xuan to be taken away by Wang Zhaoxi, they could only stare blankly.Shen Xuan thought of falling into the hands of Princess Wuyue again this time, wishing to die immediately.At this time, he was exhausted, and there seemed to be thousands of sharp knives stabbed in his chest. He said slowly: "I will go with you only after you let Miss Jiang go. Otherwise, I will never serve if I enter the palace!" Wang Zhaoxi laughed and said, "It's useless for you to tell me about these conditions." Suddenly, he said "ah", and Shen Xuan, who was clearly by his side in a blink of an eye, disappeared without a trace. He just vaguely felt a flash of white light, and half of his body was almost numb under the heavy impact.With so many people present, no one could clearly see where the man in white came and went.Wang Zhaoxi wanted to chase him but didn't know where to go to chase him. He was afraid that the Jinghu faction would find out that he was injured, so he took Jiang Lingqian and left in a hurry. "I know you are a famous doctor in Tonglu, so I don't want you to be captured by the wicked. But I don't know the girl, so I didn't save her." Shen Xuan was so close to this mysterious man in white.It was a woman with a slightly hoarse voice.She was wearing a heavy white veil, she couldn't see her face at all, and she couldn't guess her age, "I want to know who she is." Shen Xuan then said: "Her name is Jiang Lingqian, and she is the granddaughter of Jiang Tingsong from the Tiantai School." The woman in white seemed to be surprised: "Does Jiang Tingsong have a son?" "No, she is an abandoned baby adopted by Jiang Tingsong." Shen Xuan dejectedly road. The woman in white was silent, and said for a long time: "Your internal injury is very serious, I can't cure it, but it can relieve your pain." After saying that, two strands of true power were injected into Shen Xuan's body.The inner strength of this woman in white is extremely profound.The countercurrent in Shen Xuan's body subsided immediately, almost returning to normal.Her inner strength method is quite similar to Ye Qingchen. Shen Xuan couldn't help asking: "Young lady and Hero Ye are from the same family?" The woman in white didn't answer, but said: "Are you going to save her?" Shen Xuan nodded.The woman in white has always refused to reveal her background, and Shen Xuanyuan didn't have to confess to her.But this white-clothed woman with outstanding martial arts skills makes people feel that there is a power that is superior and irresistible. When Shen Xuan appeared in front of Qian Shijun, Qian Shijun was really shocked.He had just listened to Cao Zhiping's accusation of all the sins of this unworthy Dongting doctor, so he sneaked into Kuaiji Mountain and secretly saw him coming.Qian Shijun thought for a while, and moved the left and right sides apart. Shen Xuan cut to the chase and said: "Lord Nine, please borrow the map that Miss Jiang drew for you next time." Qian Shijun wondered, "What map?" Shen Xuan sneered, "You go to Sanzui Palace Isn't it because of the map of Princess Wuyue's underground labyrinth to pester her and make it known all over the world? Miss Jiang has lost the original copy and drew a picture for you from memory. The Ninth Prince, Miss Jiang and Princess Wuyue have feuds, most It's for your sake. Now that she falls into the hands of Princess Wuyue, she must be unlucky, even if you don't care about it, why should you begrudge this map?" Qian Shijun was silent for a long time: "She really doesn't hide anything from you." After saying that, he took out a roll of silk painting from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Xuan.When Shen Xuan saw Jiang Lingqian's handwriting, his heart felt sour, and he immediately collected himself, silently memorizing the path and checkpoints marked on the map, and returned it to Qian Shijun after reading it. Qian Shijun said: "This is just a sketch, Miss Jiang said that she can't remember many details, I'm afraid it's not reliable." Shen Xuan said: "I understand this." Qian Shijun looked at him and couldn't help saying: "Is it too dangerous for you to save her?" Shen Xuan said indifferently: "If I don't go to save her, do I have a guilty conscience?" Qian Shijun was stunned for a moment, then said for a while: "You will not be seen when you go out from behind my courtyard." Shen Xuan thanked him, and went out through the window. Qian Shijun sat alone under the lamp, fiddling with the map, absent-minded and lost.Suddenly there was a slap in the face from behind: "My lord, who is doing great things, why should you worry about small things and act like a son?" Qian Shijun suddenly turned his head and said strangely: "Hey, it's you again?" The visitor smiled slightly, Said: "My lord also knows that Jiang Lingqian's map is not reliable, do you want to read the real one?" When Shen Xuan came to Qiantang Mansion, he was secretly surprised when he learned that the eldest son Qian Dan had already escaped from the palace and his whereabouts were unknown.It took him a few rounds to find Xu Cheng.At this time, because Qian Dan escaped and was demoted at home, it was Princess Wuyue's special kindness that saved Xu Cheng's life.Xu Cheng found out from the old officials that Jiang Lingqian was indeed locked in the underground labyrinth on Yuhuang Mountain. The royal palace of Wuyue Kingdom was built at the foot of Phoenix Mountain.The kings of Wu and Yue believed in Buddhism in the past dynasties, and they made large-scale construction projects to build Brahma and Lingyin temples.The concubine of Wuyue still felt that it was not enough, and after she ascended the throne, she dug a magnificent cave of Buddha statues on Ciyunling behind the palace, commonly known as Guanyin Cave by the people of Wuyue. "The swordsmanship and martial arts of the Tiantai School come from the Taoist lineage, but it's strange that she believes in Buddhism." Shen Xuan stood in the Guanyin Cave, staring at the gods and Buddhas, big and small, in a daze. The maze originally had four entrances, one in the palace, leading directly to the bedroom of Princess Wuyue; one in the Bagua field at the foot of Yuhuang Mountain; one in the Baiyu Pagoda by the Qiantang River; The far one seems to be to the east.Shen Xuan checked the two entrances outside the palace, and they were guarded, making it difficult to enter.He recalled the map carefully, and remembered that the tunnel from the palace to the maze had a strange shape, as if it had deliberately made a detour.The terrain at the corner is exactly the same as that near the Guanyin Cave in Ciyunling. Shen Xuan spent a whole day exhaling during the day, calming down the breath flowing through his body, and expected that he would not vomit blood within a day.It was already dark, so I put on my night clothes and went to the Guanyin Cave to investigate.There are many Buddha statues in this grotto. The main shrine has a Maitreya, a Guanyin, and a Shizhi, and there are Bodhisattvas, Heavenly Kings, and Feitians on both sides. It is unclear where the organs are. The moonlight gradually penetrated into the grotto, and there was a statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the north of the main niche in the depths of the cave, with "humanity reincarnation" engraved on the top.On both sides of the Ksitigarbha statue are engraved supporters, with cloud temples of the same color and towering temples, dressed in palace makeup.These palace figures are carved with lifelike faces and different moods, which are more exquisite than Buddha statues.Shen Xuan looked at the past one by one under the moonlight, and suddenly found that the smile of the first palace man on the left was very familiar.Who is it?The gorgeous peach-blossom clouds embroidered on her skirt turned out to be the "Xia Gu Fairy" in the ancient painting in the boudoir of Princess Jiang Mingzhu of Wu Yue! Shen Xuan didn't doubt even more, walked around behind "Fairy Xia Gu" and gently pushed the statue away.Sure enough, a passage was exposed under the statue seat. This tunnel is cold and damp, and people rarely walk around.After a while, it merged with the tunnel from the palace.Shen Xuan walked to the depths of the maze according to the marks on the map, but there was no one guarding him along the way.If it wasn't for Princess Wuyue's self-confidence that no one could find her through this passage in the palace, there was another trap.Shen Xuan couldn't help smiling, and at the same time felt that this path seemed very simple.The map drawn by Jiang Lingqian is indeed wrong.Once or twice he found himself in a dead end, but found his way out as soon as he got out.He vaguely felt that this was just an ordinary underground lair, and there were not even a few traps, so it couldn't be called a maze.It seems that the rumors in the arena are not true. At the front corner, a pine oil lamp in the shape of antlers was flickering, Shen Xuan felt a little excited, because he had stayed there himself, it was a prison cell. There was no one guarding the front of the cell.Although Shen Xuan was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help being nervous at this moment, and immediately said loudly: "Thank you, Princess, I have been waiting for a long time." "Huh," the person in the cell turned around, with bright eyes and bright teeth, she was indeed Princess Wuyue, she said with a faint smile, "The guards at the four entrances didn't pick you up, so I was worried that you wouldn't come tonight!" Shen Xuan smiled but did not answer. Princess Wuyue said: "You really have a way. It's just that you have calculated everything, but you never expected that what you found after all the hard work was not your sweetheart, but my old woman, right? Dr. Shen, you just have a very good heart. , Even people like Xu Cheng have to believe it, do you think he is really devoted to Qian Dan and won't betray you?" Shen Xuan thought about it, and said: "The princess doesn't know something. I went down to find Xu Cheng to inquire about the news, and I entrusted him to inform the princess, so I came down. The princess really condescended to wait in such a place - I am really flattered Princess Wuyue frowned and said, "Are you looking for me? No way. Well, the internal injuries on your body don't seem to be getting any better these days when you've been out, and you know that I'm the only one who can save you. Have you changed your mind?" Shen Xuan said: "It's possible to change your mind. But I did come to look for Wangfei sincerely. If I don't find you, Wangfei, who will take me to see Miss Jiang?" Princess Wuyue laughed loudly: "Joke, are you crazy! Why should I Take you to see Jiang Lingqian?" "The princess wants Miss Jiang to hand over the map, and I want to prepare the antidote to the corpse poison. These two things are not easy to do. Even if we are forced to die, the two of us will not submit. The only way now is to take She came to coerce me, use me to coerce her. If you want to do this, you have to let me meet her first." Princess Wuyue immediately put on a straight face: "Hmph, you also want to manipulate me? Just lie down obediently!" She pushed Shen Xuan back into the cell, turned around and walked away.Shen Xuan was also tired, so he lay down on the ground and fell asleep.After about an hour, a guard came over to wake him up and led him into the depths of the maze. The steps under the feet go up, and the mud and stone walls are gradually drying up. It can be seen that they are heading towards the top of Yuhuang Mountain.Shen Xuan silently memorized the path for future escape plans. Passing through a stone gate, the eyes suddenly brightened.Looking around, it is a stone room, although it is still unguarded, it is very elegantly furnished.There are embroidered curtains hanging all around, and fresh peach blossoms are inserted in half-person-high vases. Under the flowers is a huge rock bonsai, which is decorated with bamboo fences and huts, and it also attracts running water to make trickles.Shen Xuan glanced at it, and felt that it looked like the Taoyuan Fairy Valley on Tiantai Mountain. The guards leading the way opened an embroidered curtain, revealing an iron door with a large copper lock.The guard took out the key and opened the door, and politely invited Shen Xuan in.Shen Xuan had seen early on that this person's martial arts were not weak, and he couldn't beat him, so he could only obey orders. The sweet fragrance echoed in the room, like a woman's boudoir.Bypassing a beauty screen, the red candles in the room are half-lit, and wisps of purple smoke rise from the smoker cage.Red lotuses and clear water are embroidered on the silk carpet, and a bead curtain hangs at the end of the carpet, and behind the bead curtain is a splendid bed curtain.Shen Xuan already felt that someone was sleeping in the tent, he lowered his head and listened to the woman's breathing for a while, he was overjoyed, hurriedly lifted the curtain and went in, opened the tent and had a look - a lock of long hair was scattered on the pillow, it was indeed Jiang Lingqian!
