Chapter 10 Chapter Ten Master and Apprentice

As soon as the eldest grandson Siyuan left, Yun Xi immediately turned around and walked along the corridor to Qinglong Palace.Along the way, the eyes of the disciples in the teaching were uncertain, but no one dared to openly ask what happened—not long ago, the leader of Yixiang had a conflict with the high priest. In order to prevent this from spreading, Yun Xi transferred everyone to Leaving the Moon Palace.The hierarchy in the Moon Worship Sect is strict, and high-level power struggles occur from time to time, and those disciples in the teaching are used to not asking too much about other things.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the palace, he smelled the smell of blood—priest Feng Ya had brought Sha Manhua and was waiting in the hall. Sure enough, he is also a smart person.The young man smiled, but stepped into the hall without fear. "Master." He picked up the teapot from the table next to him and got a cup of tea, "Are you here? Please sit down and drink tea." Sitting in the hall, Priest Feng Ya looked at the disciples who were slowly returning, but his eyes had changed imperceptibly--Yunxi had changed...became calm, calm and confident, and even made people invisible at first glance. .In just one night, such a subtle and terrifying change occurred in that respectful and intelligent disciple!

"Did you put the poison on Sha Manhua's body?" He was the one who couldn't hold back in the end, and was the first to ask. Yun Xi smiled slightly, poured two cups of tea, put them on the table, and then sat down opposite the master - although he still called Feng Ya a teacher, his behavior was no longer self-disciplined as a disciple. Feng Ya looked at him, slowly tightened and released his fingers, finally he just put the unconscious Shamanhua on the soft couch beside him, turned his head and said in a deep voice: "The only one who can touch her these days is you One person. It cannot be someone else's poison."

"That's right, I played the Heart-Linking Gu. Master, do you know?——I have already broken the prohibition that priests are not allowed to practice Gu." Yun smiled, admitted frankly, and blew the tea foam, "But It's really easy to play, and she has no defense at all." Feng Ya's face turned serious: "Why did you kill her?" "Kill her? I don't want to kill her... What's the benefit of killing her?" Yun Xi put down the teacup and smiled suddenly, "I played a trick on her just to make you unable to kill me, Master—" After a pause, The young man shrugged his shoulders and looked at the high priest who was bleeding continuously on Feng Ya's shoulder: "Because I applied the poison of dragon's blood on the golden arrow. I think you should have guessed it by now, right? - Yes, it was me I borrowed her hand to kill you! Look, although a person like her would betray you for some reason, how could she do such an act of poisoning?"

Feng Ya's dark green pupils suddenly contracted, staring at the young disciple opposite, but didn't speak immediately. The priest's hand was on his left shoulder, and the blood flowed out unstoppably, staining his clothes and fingers red.However, Feng Ya didn't seem to feel any pain, he just watched Yun's breath for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Why? Why did you betray me? I single-handedly brought you out of the state of wandering and begging, and taught you everything - and you wait for this priest's Is it too late to wait for the location?" Yun Xi smiled and shook his head, a trace of resentment suddenly flashed in his eyes: "Not for this."

After a pause, the young man raised his head, looked at his master, and replied word by word: "Just because of the humiliation and exile I have suffered in my family, three lives and three generations! Just because, if I don't kill you in my lifetime, I won't be able to kill you." Misfortune lifted!" Feng Ya was startled, the light in Yun Xi's eyes at that moment was so hot and sharp, as if piercing through time and space. "You are...you are that..." He suddenly vaguely remembered some very distant past, and blurted out in a low voice. "I'm the descendant of the Qiongzhou ghost master who was killed by you." Yun Xi said, and slowly put the teacup back on the case. He silently "put" it into the rosewood tabletop!

The young man looked at the master, the light in his eyes was extremely terrifying: "You should know what kind of discrimination will be given to any warlock who loses in the martial arts in Qiongzhou! His descendants will no longer be able to learn magic arts, nor can they engage in any profession. We can only beg for a living—thanks to you, it has been a hundred years since our great-grandfather became beggars!" High Priest Feng Ya's eyes changed rapidly, it seemed sad, but suddenly it seemed: In some places in Miaojiang, the local people extremely worship people who are proficient in magic arts.Warlocks are regarded as wise men who can talk directly to the gods, and are respected by everyone; however, once those warlocks fail, they immediately lose all their dignity and become the lowest class of people. !

After a long time, Priest Feng Ya said slowly: "No wonder you have amazing aptitude in magic arts - it turns out that you come from a noble family. It seems that when you first met me and worshiped under the sect, you had already made plans everywhere? One day, can you defeat me?" "Yes. You have infinite time to wait, but I only have limited time to take revenge—so in my lifetime, I will do whatever it takes to kill you!" A sneer appeared on the corner of Yun Xi's mouth, as if sighing He murmured, "I have practiced martial arts all my life, and I may not be your opponent. So I have to practice a method that you have never practiced: studying people's hearts and desires - these, I am afraid that I have lived for hundreds of years. You can't compare with me."

After a pause, the young man shook his head with some emotion: "Do you know that I actually instigated Yixiang? She just refused to accept your arbitrariness and had some small ambitions. I encouraged her by the way—it's a pity that that The stupid girl actually went to fight head-to-head with you, and she died in your hands in the end." "So that's how it is..." Priest Feng Ya's eyes slowly diverged from being concentrated, unexpectedly there was no murderous look, but he was so tired that he couldn't see to the end, he suddenly smiled, "You have been my good disciple for ten years... You are all approaching me and betraying me for your own desires, right?"

Yun Xi smiled viciously, "Who do you think would really like being with a monster?" Those words were like that golden arrow that pierced straight to the bottom of my heart, High Priest Feng Ya suddenly stood up, looking at the disciple he had cultivated with murderous intent. "Master, I advise you not to do anything. I know that although the dragon's blood poison can't kill you, it will at least make you seriously injured. With your current abilities, even if you fight with me, you may not have a chance of winning. And... "Yun Xi just looked at him, pointed back to his heart, and smiled, "Lian Xin Gu, master, you don't know what Lian Xin Gu is, do you? When this heart stops beating, Sha Manhua's pulse also will break-"

"I..." Feng Ya frowned, turned to look at the unconscious woman, "Why should I care about her life?!" "You won't ignore it." Yun Xi laughed, and Shi Shiran spread his hands, "Otherwise, why didn't you just kill her? No one knows what kind of person you are better than me—you are easily attracted Betrayal is easier to forgive." There was a long silence, so long that it seemed that another reincarnation had passed. In this empty Azure Dragon Palace, there was only the slight sound of blood splashing on the ground continuously - gurgling from the shoulders of Priest Feng Ya and the back of Sha Manhua's head, staining the ground red.Thousands of expressions flashed in his eyes, and finally turned into indescribable exhaustion. However, Yun Xi had a half-smile expression in his eyes: "Master, I think you should pay more attention to your injuries - you were injured by the dragon's blood poison, even if your strength is amazing and you will not die, it is still impossible Healed? If you don’t detoxify, the blood will keep flowing, and the person will continue to be weak!” Feng Ya glanced at his disciple, there was a secret gleam in the eyes of that white-clothed boy—was that the joy before he was about to play another card?He had never noticed this kind of dark will-o'-the-wisp before. "I am not afraid of death—the priests of all ages have never been afraid of death." He smiled slightly, looking at the blood dripping from his fingertips, "What we are afraid of is the opposite. These things, no matter how smart you are, you will not be afraid of death now." I still don't understand." That kind of answer caused Yun Xi's expression to change slightly.However, he opened his mouth immediately, with a humble tone, but with a deep chill: "Yes. But if you fail, I will naturally establish a new leader—then, everything related to you will be cleaned, including... Sha Manhua." After a pause, seeing Feng Ya's suddenly frowned eyebrows, Yun Xi finally showed a smile: "I know Master best: you are not afraid of death, but you don't want to witness the death of others—— Isn't it?" "What exactly do you want!" Feng Ya finally became angry, raised his hand and smashed the red sandalwood coffee table, took off the "Moon Soul" gemstone that symbolized the status of a priest from the forehead ring, threw On the ground, "You want my life? You want to worship the Moon Sect? Just take it all! Stop playing tricks on me in front of me!" "Ah, don't be angry," Yun Xi quickly stopped, serious, "Once you get angry, the dragon's blood poison will attack faster—this way, you won't be able to go to Chang'an at all." "Go to Chang'an? Why?" Priest Feng Ya was slightly surprised, the name written by Changsun Siyuan on the case flashed in his mind, and suddenly he fell silent, as if he had thought of some idea, he remained silent for a long time, and raised his head calmly , looking at his disciple: "Yun Xi, you want me to go to Chang'an?" Yun Xi leaned over to pick up the Moon Soul Gem from the ground, held it tightly in his hand, and nodded with a smile: "It's for your own good! The poison of dragon blood needs another dragon blood bead to cure it. Mr. Changsun, no one can save you—so you should go to Chang'an..." After a pause, a smile appeared on the corner of Yun's mouth: "As for how to get another dragon blood bead from him, Believe me, master, you must know." Priest Feng Ya raised his eyebrows, with a sneer expression: "You discussed this with Changsun Siyuan?" "Don't dare. We are asking for different things," Yun Xi bowed slightly, and remained calm, "It's just that we both agree on the matter of wanting Master to go to the imperial capital." "Going to Chang'an? That's okay... I also look forward to seeing that person again." The corner of Priest Feng Ya's mouth twitched slightly, showing a smile or a sad expression, "But——Sha Manhua trusts and is so close to you, Did you still betray her without even thinking about it?" Yun Xi sneered: "A person like her deserves to be used." Priest Feng Ya sighed, and suddenly stretched out his hand——Yu Xi took a step back subconsciously, but the blood-dripping hand pressed lightly on his shoulder powerlessly. "This is my fault... Yun Xi, what should you do in the future?" The priest's deep blue eyes were like a bottomless sea, with undercurrents surging, and he suddenly sighed in a low voice: "You have been with me for ten years, what? You have learned everything, but you have not learned the most important thing. What should you do after you become a priest in the future." Surprised by such a sudden sigh, Yun Xi quickly calmed down: "I haven't learned anything yet? Blood separation method? Ghost drop technique? Or the waning moon half image mental method? ——No, I know it better than you Expected much more.” "What's the use of those things?...It will only become your burden in the end." Priest Feng Ya smiled contemptuously, looking at the amazingly talented disciple, but there was a sad and helpless light in his eyes, "You are right Heaven, earth, gods and ghosts don't have the slightest reverence; they don't have any compassion for sentient beings; you don't know how to love or be loved—" "I don't need these," Yun Xi replied proudly, "if I am strong enough." Hearing such an answer, High Priest Feng Ya smiled wryly: "Remember: we are not gods, but we are not human either, we are just monsters... Isn't it good for a while, how about it soon? It will disappear eventually, but in such a long time, if you have nothing but hatred in your heart, what will you do!" Yun Xi was taken aback, then immediately sneered slightly. Why continue?Could it be that those mortals who repeatedly betrayed him are the pillars that support the endless years to come?Even if he is as kind as Sha Manhua, he will shoot arrows at his benefactor without hesitation for his own desires-betrayal again and again, forgive again and again, until he is discouraged!Does the master want to learn from him by himself and fall into danger because of this common fetter? Knowing that he would never be able to surpass his almost heavenly master in terms of magic or martial arts, he could only grasp the weakness in the master's heart: Yi Xiang, Sha Manhua, himself...all the masters care about, believe in, Those who are paying attention—he wants to smash the pillars of this "god" into pieces one by one!At the moment when it collapsed, he could find a chance, right? But at this moment, the master wants to pass on that fatal weakness to him?sneer. "Yunxi, although my teaching does not advocate it, and we may not be able to do it ourselves-but you have to remember: you should be in awe of certain 'truth' or 'goodness'." Before leaving, leaned over quietly Staring at Sha Manhua's sleeping face, Priest Feng Ya raised his head to look at his disciple, and said the last sentence, "This little heart is the foundation of the way of heaven... Otherwise, you will be in the way of the devil." "Do you know how long the future is? There is no end in sight... What are you going to do?" When the master left, there was already a faint dawn outside.Yun Xi pushed open the window, and silently watched the white dress pass through the holy lake full of fiery red manjusawa, and leave along the clear water.The wind from the top of Vulture Mountain brought the cool breath of the leaves, and the moment the window was opened, moist clouds and mist rushed in, blurring the back of the master. He knew that the master was going to the Moon God Temple to say his last prayers and farewell, and then left southern Xinjiang for the imperial capital. The young man in white clenched the moon soul in his palm silently, and frowned slightly—it was just an excuse to talk about healing, talking about the poison of dragon's blood.I'm afraid the master is unaware of his true intention of coercing him to go to the imperial capital?However, as he expected, the master still went——after that, he might not come back.Because that person will also go to the imperial capital... In the whole world, if he wants to die, he only deserves to die at the hands of that person, right? Yu Xi thought of those white elephants who were regarded as gods by the people of Miaojiang—those white and powerful giants were proud all their lives and could predict their own death. Before death came, the only thing they did was to leave everyone and find a The secret place quietly waits for death to come.It is a kind of dignity of life maintained to the last moment. Clouds and morning mist rushed over his face, which was slightly cool and moist. Yun Xi looked back at the woman in a coma, raised his hand and pressed the three deep-rooted wounds on the back of the head, his brows furrowed even tighter—this kind of disease that has been sealed with golden needles for many years, even the master has not been able to cure it , coupled with the current toss and the relapse of the old injury in the brain, I am afraid that blood clots have accumulated inside, right?The only way is to break the skull to clear the congestion - but how much risk should we take? However, just in case, the woman must live anyway.Then there is only risk of breaking the head—the white-clothed boy slowly clenched the gem with his fingers, thinking calmly and indifferently. "Isn't it good for a while, how about it soon? ... What will you do?" Such a sympathetic and worried tone seemed to echo in his heart like an ominous spell. On the eve of dawn, the rapid sound of horseshoes came from the mountain road, startling a flock of flying birds. A group of people in the carriage screamed and cursed, but they couldn't keep the white-clothed young man who took the road away—although he was taken out of the Moon Palace overnight when he couldn't move, but once the acupoints were lifted, the young master Shu Ye no longer cared about his eldest grandson With Si Yuan's obstruction, he immediately snatched the horse back to Ben Yue Palace!I finally saw Sha Manhua again... Is it possible to meet again and pass each other? That thought was so strong that he didn't listen carefully to what the eldest grandson Siyuan said to him carefully and earnestly, and what the martial arts masters from the imperial capital next to him said; he didn't even think about how to deal with that terrifying ghost. His high priest——Shu Ye just jumped up, snatched the horse, and ran away. "Young master!" Hei Jiulang, who was next to Chang'an to inspect Maruro, couldn't hold back, and sternly said, "You will only die if you go back to the Moon Palace!" "Leave me alone!" The young man in white also replied sharply, and jumped on his horse. "But don't you care about Hou Ye's life or death? Do you know how Hou Ye was harmed by that woman in the imperial capital?" Bai Liulang almost used a hidden weapon to shoot down the running man, cursing, "You are life and death brothers! Everyone is waiting in Chang'an for the young master to take revenge for us! But for a woman, you don't care—" The man on the horse seemed to hear a sentence or two, and his body shook slightly.However, the horse had run away in an instant. "Damn it! You forget your brother when you see a woman!" "Master Hou is blind and recognizes such a brother!" The carriage was suddenly drowned out by angry curses, and the killers in Tan Wanlang were about to chase them out, but The eldest grandson Siyuan waved his hand slightly to stop everyone's restlessness. "Don't chase, if you chase, you won't be able to come back." There was a deep tiredness on the handsome face of this thirty-something man. He played with something in his hand and said lightly: "Stop the car. We'll wait for him here—" "Will that kid come back?" Hei Jiulang was indignant. "Wait until evening." Eldest Sun Siyuan looked at the path filled with morning mist, and said slowly, but there was a sense of desolation that could no longer be concealed in his usual calm expression, "If he doesn't come back, we will return to the imperial capital on our own." Hei Jiulang bitterly said: "That's right. It's impossible to save Lord Hou without him—at most, everyone will work together and fight that woman!" Resolute to repay your kindness. ——These are the most stalwart and most powerful buddies among the strange people and strangers that Ding Jianhou has recruited for many years.However, this group of forces placed on the table and attracting the imperial capital to hunt down and kill them is nothing more than a card that has been planned to be discarded for a long time. Changsun Siyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he just lowered his head to play with the thing: it was a small puppet, carved from poplar, with falcon riveting on the joints, so it could move freely.He concentrated on moving the puppet's hands and making gestures one by one, ignoring the surprised eyes of the people around him. ——No one knows why this strategist who calls the wind and rain in the imperial capital carries such a thing with him. However, half a day later, when the sun had just reached the top of the head, the sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded in the distance. Everyone couldn't help cheering up and looked at the way they had come, even Changsun Siyuan was no exception - there, a white dress came straight through the dense green bamboo forest. Come, fall like lightning. Young master Shu Ye.The person who decided to go, but only for a moment, came back here again! "You said just now, what happened to Mo Xiang?" As soon as he came over, he pulled up the lapel of Changsun Siyuan's clothes and asked hurriedly, "Say it again! You just said... he, he was brought up by Yi Xin." The princess was imprisoned? How could he be imprisoned by that woman!" It was obvious that Cai Cai didn't listen carefully just now because he was in a hurry, and he slowly came back to his senses after running halfway. Young Master Shu Ye rode his horse and galloped back, shouted at him sharply, with a terrified expression on his face. "Princess Yixin colluded with the Mingjiao, cultivated party members secretly and suddenly staged a coup, and Lord Hou was plotted against," the eldest Sun Siyuan repeated without moving, and added, "Now he has had his limbs and veins severed and captured. Xinshen, imprisoned in the Zichen Palace, has become a puppet—Changan Tanmaru has rescued him many times without success." "How could this happen!" Young Master Shu Ye yelled, and tightened the collar of eldest grandson Siyuan, "That guy Mo Xiang should be a very shrewd person! I have only been away from Dunhuang for more than a year... how could he get it? At this level? Could it be that some spies inside have betrayed him? ——How did you become a military adviser?" Being strangled almost out of breath, eldest grandson Siyuan frowned, but didn't answer a word, only asked: "Then will you follow me to the imperial capital? Or, still go to the Moon Palace to die?" Young Master Shu Ye was startled, let go of his hand, turned his head to look at the Vulture Mountain shrouded in clouds and mists far away, and remained silent for a long time. So much like...so much like it!It was exactly the same as the time when I missed it a year ago on the top of Qilian Snow Mountain because I wanted to save Mo Xiang and Dunhuang! ——A short distance away, but always stingy, the giant hand of fate fiddled with the two of them, and never gave them the slightest chance.Do you really have to wait until the next life to see you again?As a brother, there is this life but no afterlife. He suddenly smiled wryly, laughed for a long time, and finally raised his head and said two words to the gangsters who were looking at him: "I'll go." After a pause, as if he had made a decision, young master Shu Ye raised his head, pointed to the north, and said sharply, "Let's go back together, pull that woman out and behead her!" "Yes!" All the warriors and killers raised their knives and shouted joyfully, the sound shook the sky, and flocks of birds flew out in fright. The son Shu Ye turned his head, but saw the eyes of the eldest grandson Siyuan.Everyone was cheering, but this handsome man was silent. Looking at himself, he suddenly nodded thoughtfully, put the strange puppet in his arms, waved to him, and said softly: " Get in the car, I have something to tell you. Before Master Hou was in distress, he predicted the overall situation in the future and made arrangements - he left a confidential letter and asked me to hand it to you." What an incomprehensible person... Young Master Shu Ye and Ding Jianhou have known each other for decades, and he is not unfamiliar with the counselor beside him.However, with his eyesight, he has never been able to guess, what is this man thinking in his heart? He glanced in the direction of Vulture Mountain for the last time, and with a touch of his toes, he quickly sprinted onto the carriage and lowered the curtain. Life is a heavy-duty rush, and you need to make choices at every fork in the road, and every choice will lead to another completely different path of destiny.For so many years, from the Kunlun Snow Region to the ancient city of Dunhuang, from the Miaojiang Moon Palace to the imperial capital Chang'an... He chose to give up at the fork of fate time and time again.Are they getting farther and farther now? Sha Manhua, Sha Manhua... If the crisis in the imperial capital can be resolved safely this time, I will come back here to find you. When I met you again, it was like the beginning of heaven and earth.
