On the fifteenth day of July, on the outskirts of Moon City, behind the Lotus Pond Peak, the sky was dim and dawning, the screen windows were clear, and the wind was blowing quietly.

Chu Yunqiao was sitting under the screen window of a thatched house, staring at the gleam of light on the horizon in a daze. Suddenly, there was a slight noise behind him, and he looked towards the wooden bed and asked with complex eyes, "Are you awake?"

Shen Xiaojia sat up in shock and patted his groggy head. He suddenly thought of something and jumped off the wooden bed. He shouted angrily, "That bastard, Lao Qu, is so ungrateful. He always hits people on the head with a wine bottle. What's the point?

I want to educate him about his quirks. Such violence will teach bad things to children..."

Chu Yunqiao said with a sad expression, "He will never hit you on the head with a wine bottle in the future..."

"Really? If you know your mistakes and can correct them, you will still be a good boy..." Shen Xiaojia glanced around the room and asked curiously, "Where is this?"

"In the small valley behind Lianchi Peak, where I used to spend my summer vacation, no one except Tao Niang can find it..."

"Not bad, not bad. It's very elegant and quiet. When Lao Qu gets really old, we can let him build a house here for his retirement. He has many enemies and grievances, so this place is far away from the world, so it's very suitable. And it's very suitable for us.

As a neighbor, I can still take care of him..."

"Xiao Jia...Lao Qu doesn't have to move here to escape from the world anymore. No one can cause trouble for him."

"Hey, take a long-term view... I know he is very powerful. No one can make him unhappy now, but when he gets old..."

"That's not what I meant," Chu Yunqiao interrupted Shen Xiaojia, lowered his head and said, "He is dead... he will not grow old anymore."

Shen Xiaojia suddenly stiffened and froze in place. After a moment, he suddenly laughed, walked around the house, searched around, and said with a flat mouth, "Your lying skills need to be improved. He is so powerful, how could he die... Yes

Laoqu didn’t teach you to say that, you want to tease me, right? Laoqu! Stop hiding, I saw your butt..."

Chu Yunqiao gently hugged Shen Xiaojia from behind and said softly, "Xiaojia, don't be like this, I know you have guessed it... He was poisoned, and in order to let us leave, he had to risk his own life...

…”

"Impossible! He clearly said that he had already refined the poison..."

"The poison has penetrated into the internal organs. If you really want to refine the poison, wouldn't you have to refine the internal organs as well?"

"Impossible! He is the Nine-Life Cat God and has nine lives!"

"But he only has one heart, and he is also a human being... As long as he is a human being, he will die."

"Impossible..." Shen Xiaojia's shoulders shook violently, and he punched the wall. He choked with sobs but could no longer say the next words. He suddenly remembered the glass of wine Shen Qi served when Lao Qu got married, and quickly turned around and walked out of the house.

He said with red eyes, "It must be that bastard who poisoned you! I'm going to kill him!"

Chu Yunqiao grabbed Shen Xiaojia, suddenly raised his hand and slapped him, and said sternly, "Wake up! What's the difference between you going like this now and sending yourself to death? Do you want Lao Qu to die in vain?"

Bang! A crisp slap sounded in the room.

Shen Xiaojia was stunned for a few breaths, wiped the tears on his face, took a few deep breaths urgently, clenched his fists and said, "Yes, yes, you're right, we need to plan carefully and think carefully, and we can't let that happen."

The bastard died so happily!" He returned to the house, sat down at the table, pondered for a moment, and kept tapping his fingers on the table, "First we have to go to Bago and the others. Although the other party has more experts than us, as long as the layout is reasonable,

…”

Chu Yunqiao walked slowly to Shen Xiaojia's side and whispered, "Master Zeng... they have already left Yuecheng."

"Leaving? Didn't you say we are inseparable? Laoqu's revenge...don't they want to avenge it!"

"It's not that I don't want to retaliate, but that I can't avenge... Zeng Baye made an unprecedented sword blow to his life on the edge of the Spring River, and his own meridians were cut off... Grandma and the rooster boy took Zeng Baye to Yaoshen Valley. They wanted to go

Please ask Eucommia, the heavenly medicine star of the Thirty-Sixth Tiangang Star, to see if there is a way to restore one or two."

Shen Xiaojia's fingers suddenly stopped and he said in a deep voice, "It's me who has caused everyone trouble..."

"Don't think so," Chu Yunqiao gently placed his right hand on the back of Shen Xiaojia's hand and said with gentle eyes, "No one complained about you before they left. The situation is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee that no accident will happen."

Shen Xiaojia sighed sadly, "Did Bago say anything when he left?"

"Master Zeng didn't say anything," Chu Yunqiao walked to the cabinet on the wall, took out a black package and two swords and put them on the table, "I just asked me to hand over these two swords to you, and Lao Qu.

The cold moon..."

Shen Xiaojia glanced at Shuangjiang Sword and Broken Water Sword, then opened the black package, picked up a broken Hanyue Blade with a slightly trembling right hand, and held it tightly in his hand. He was not aware of the blood carving on his palm, and a tear slipped quietly.

His voice was hoarse, "Lao Qu is not dead, he is just tired and wants to rest for a while...Han Yue is not broken, he just wants to change his shape. I will take it with me to drink the blood of the thief!"

Chu Yunqiao hurriedly took away the piece of Hanyue from Shen Xiaojia's palm, took out a silk scarf from his sleeve, pressed it on Shen Xiaojia's wound, frowned slightly and said, "Don't do such stupid things in the future. The revenge has not been avenged. First,

Injuring yourself will only hurt your loved ones and make your enemies happy..."

Shen Xiaojia wiped the blood on his hand calmly, picked up the Shuangjiang Sword, closed his eyes to feel it, and praised, "What a cold sword intention!" Then he put down the Shuangjiang Sword, picked up the Broken Water Sword, and pulled it out suddenly.

Suddenly, a cool white light like water filled the hut. He quickly retracted the scabbard and placed the Water-Breaking Sword in Chu Yunqiao's hand, "This sword is just right for your Qinglian Sword Song. I'll keep the Shuangjiang Sword just in case Bago one day.

Once he can hold the sword again, I will send it back to him..."

"Well..." Chu Yunqiao looked at the Broken Water Sword in his hand, nodded gently, and said with a sweet smile, "You said that I can't refuse what you give me."

Shen Xiaojia tried his best to smile, and suddenly said, "By the way, where is Xiaozhi? Is she okay?"

"That future wife of yours..." Chu Yunqiao glanced at Shen Xiaojia meaningfully, pouted and said, "I don't know what she is like. When the ice on the river melted, she helped her grandma pick her up.

An arrow was carried into the river by that arrow, and its whereabouts are still unknown. Do you want to look for it?"

"Uh..." Shen Xiaojia felt a smell of jealousy wafting over her, and explained awkwardly, "It's not what you think. Xiaozhi is so young, how could I have anything to do with her... I don't think her martial arts would be the best in Chunjiang."

What danger will there be, but following me to do the next thing is extremely dangerous. She is still a child, so don't let her continue to get involved in the fights between adults."

Chu Yunqiao burst into laughter, "Look how nervous you are, am I such a narrow-minded person? Before dawn, I searched on the edge of the Spring River, but I didn't find her whereabouts. I didn't find her.

No one has been found, so this is the best news..." He paused, suddenly remembered something, and said softly, "Oh! There are two more important things, I almost forgot..."

"What?"

"The first thing is about Shen Qi. He is the one who hired Master Zeng and grandma to buy your life."

"The moment he revealed his true face, I had already guessed that the pockmark-free face matched the characteristics of his employer that Bago said."

"One more thing is about you...Grandma told me before she left that the reason why your martial arts is sometimes strong and sometimes weak is because you have not fully absorbed half of the effectiveness of Linglong Chicken, and you want to turn it into your own internal power in a short time. The only way is to exercise your body crazily to speed up the fusion process."

Shen Xiaojia exhaled a long breath and said with firm eyes, "That's right, you need to be hardened to make iron. I have to harden myself as soon as possible in order to avenge Laoqu's blood! From now on, I can only rely on myself... ...Lao Qu is right. Only if I am strong enough can others listen to my principles and protect the people around me! Yunqiao, is there any wine? I want to have a few more bowls with Lao Qu!"

"Last year I buried several jars of sake behind the house..." Chu Yunqiao stared at Shen Xiaojia's melancholy and resolute face, and said softly, "I'll get it for you right now."

After Shen Xiaojia waited until Chu Yunqiao walked out of the hut, he lay slumped on the table and sobbed.

After a while, Shen Xiaojia grabbed the Shuangjiang Sword, hugged the broken Hanyue Knife, and stepped out of the hut. He happened to meet Chu Yunqiao who was returning with a jar of sake. He spread the broken blade on the ground, took the jar of wine, and patted it. He opened the lid, drank a few gulps, and sprinkled it twice on the broken knife. Then he held the wine jar high and poured water from head to toe. He held the wine jar in one hand and waved the Shuangjiang Sword in the other hand, swinging it out like a maniac. Hanyue Nine Styles...

"When the moon is cold and the smoke is dim, all things in the world will stop! The first move, the smoke is dim!"

"Two knives cut across the river, the moon is falling and the flowers are heavy with frost! The second move is to cut off the river!"

"The new wind blows away the snow in the middle of the night, and the beautiful soul is still in love with the peach blossom moon! The third style, the new wind!"

…

"The moon stream ends with a song, and the mountain clouds and nine peaks grow! The ninth posture, the nine peaks merge into one!"

Hanyue's nine movements fell, and the ground around Shen Xiaojia exploded with nine sword energy, and endless broken flowers flew in the valley.

At this moment, birds suddenly flew up at the entrance of the valley, and the pale-faced Tao Niang rushed over with Yan Qi with stupid eyes on her back. She stood in front of Shen Xiaojia and Chu Yunqiao, slowly placed Yan Qi on the ground, and hesitated for a moment. He still said, "Something happened at Zuiyue Tower...the landlady and the cook are both dead..."

Shen Xiaojia was startled. He glanced at Yan Qi, who had a dull look on his face. He remembered what Shen Qi said in front of Yanyu Tower last night and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Is that some martial artist doing it?"

Tao Niang took two deep breaths, nodded and said, "I asked around before leaving the city. The martial arts idiot Pang Qing was in Zuiyue Building from evening to late night yesterday. When closing time, he suddenly attacked Yan Qi and the proprietress... Later The proprietress carried Yan Qi to the side room, explained a few words, then locked Yan Qi and I in a dark room, and lured Wu Chi away by herself... I heard that the proprietress was finally forced off the cliff by Wu Chi."

Shen Xiaojia frowned and said, "It shouldn't be. Lao Qu said that if the landlady wants to leave, no one can stop her."

"Ho ho ho..." Yan Qi, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly smiled miserably, "It was me... it was me who killed my mother..." Staring at his trembling hands, he said with pain and regret on his face, "I'm just a person who doesn't achieve anything. A ruined piece of trash!"

Shen Xiaojia recalled the scene when he stepped into Feixue Alley last night. At that time, Yan Qi didn't take Lao Qu's advice seriously. Unexpectedly, he made a big mistake and actually caused the boss's wife to be seriously injured. In the end, he could not escape from the clutches of the devil. .Sighing deeply, Shen Xiaojia looked sideways at Tao Niang and asked, "The cook is also dead?"

"There are a total of eighteen knife marks on your body, and the swords are deadly..." Tao Niang bit her lip lightly and said in a low voice, "Also... Shen Qi sent people to search for people related to you in the city, killing them and returning their lives. The craftsmen cast two statues overnight and placed them in Feixue Lane..."

Shen Xiaojia's face suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly, "What statue?"

"One is the Moon God, and the other kneeling at the Moon God's feet is a monster with the body of a dog and the head of a human."

"I guess the face of the head must look a lot like me."

"That's right... He also posted a notice in the city, claiming that you are the incarnation of the vicious dog of hell. Only by killing you can Yuecheng find peace. All the suffering suffered by the people in the city today is caused by you..."

Shen Xiaojia sneered and said with cold eyes, "Okay, let's learn it and apply it, and use all the Western mythological stories that the young master once told him... In this way, there is one more reason to kill him, young master What I hate the most in my life are those rubbish that admire foreign things!”

Tao Niang sighed softly, "How to kill? Now there are Shen Qi's soldiers and horses guarding the Moon City on all sides, making it difficult for birds to enter..."

"If you can't walk on the road, then walk down. I have dug a lot of holes in Yuecheng over the years, and on July 7, I dug a well. Under the well is an underground river, leading to the underground river in Yuecheng..." The corner of Shen Xiaojia's mouth raised slightly and he said, "There are also many underground secret passages in the city, extending in all directions, even the secret passage leading to his city lord's palace..."

Chu Yunqiao on the side looked strange and said, "Did you dig it all?"

"Some of the secret passages have long existed, and some are part of Yuecheng's underground drainage and flood control system..." Shen Xiaojia said unhurriedly, "I just connected them and dug some holes for access. ."

Chu Yunqiao and Tao Niang looked at each other and asked in unison in surprise, "How many pits are there?"

"Not many, not very few. I have been in Yuecheng for ten years. In the first three years, I discovered the flood drainage system pipes under Yuecheng when I visited Chunjiang, so I started digging holes every year..." Shen Xiaojia touched his nose and said, "Every month One small pit, one big pit every year, and after seven years, there are a hundred pits."

Chu Yunqiao calculated it in his mind, blinked his eyes and said, "Shouldn't it be ninety-eight pits?"

"There are two leap years..." Shen Xiaojia squatted down, stared straight into Yan Qi's eyes, and said seriously, "Do you want to continue to feel sorry for yourself here, or do you want to avenge Lao Qu and your mother with me? ?”

Yan Qi lowered his head and said with a dejected face, "I'm a waste... How can I get revenge..."

"What a waste! You have no spirit at all!" Shen Xiaojia suddenly flew up and kicked Yan Qi down, hating that iron is not as good as steel, "It's a shame that Laoqu said you are a martial arts prodigy, a strange waste..." If someone kills your mother, she will just sit here and cry. How can I have such a useless friend? Find a tree and hang yourself as soon as possible, so as not to be an eyesore here..."

Tao Niang's eyes widened, she pointed at Shen Xiaojia and said angrily, "You..."

Chu Yunqiao quickly pressed Tao Niang's arm down and winked at Tao Niang to calm her down.

Sure enough, the next moment Yan Qi stood up from the ground, looked at Shen Xiaojia with a livid face and said, "How dare you kick me?"

Shen Xiaojia spat on the ground and sneered, "I'm the one who kicked you, a coward like you. What's going on? You can kick me too if you have the ability?"

"Okay, okay, I can't beat the martial arts idiot, so I can't deal with you, the lazy, industrious shrimp like you? Let's see if I don't kick you to death for causing trouble everywhere, and the earth will be pure..."

"Come on, whoever is a coward is a puppy..."

"Then it must be you. There is a statue of you kneeling like a dog in Feixue Alley. It looks very realistic to me!"

Ping ping pong!

Chu Yunqiao and Tao Niang looked at the two people wrestling on the ground with strange expressions, shook their heads together, turned around and walked towards the hut, talking and laughing.

After a cup of tea, Shen Xiaojia, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, turned to look at Yan Qi next to him who also had a bruised nose and swollen face. He sniffed and said, "I've been beaten. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here. I have to go and practice peerless martial arts...

On July 21st, I am going to beat that bastard to death, time is running out!"

Yan Qi rubbed the corners of his purple eyes, bared his teeth and said, "Your peerless martial arts is nothing, but my Sleeping Arhat Fist is the best martial arts in the world. Even that martial arts idiot is jealous... Also, revenge is still a must.

Need to choose a day? Didn’t you say you don’t believe in this?”

"Of course you have to choose a day!" Shen Xiaojia slowly got up from the ground, clapped his hands and said, "That day happens to be the first day of Lao Qu and your mother. They will come back to watch... Another day, it is a good day with a gentle breeze.

day……"

Yan Qi also slowly stood up, scratched his forehead and said, "That is indeed a good day for revenge... But there are so many masters on the other side, can you beat them?"

"Aren't I just going to become a higher peerless master? When I master it, it will be easy and pleasant to kill them..."

"How to practice?"

"Run first today, run a hundred miles... If you don't run enough today, do eight hundred push-ups tomorrow. If you can't do eight hundred push-ups, do a thousand frog jumps. If you can't do a thousand frog jumps, do five.

Lift your legs a thousand times..."

"Stop it, stop it... Good guy! It's so tiring. I'm sweating just listening to it..."

Shen Xiaojia put his hands on his hips, stared at the sun in the sky, and said excitedly, "I am the rising sun. I am not afraid of tiredness or hardship! You should fight hard! Strive! Sweat passionately and let your youth burn!"

Yan Qi slapped his mouth, yawned, and said lazily, "Forget it, your method is too stupid. I'd better find a place to sleep. If I sleep seriously for seven days, I should be able to sleep well."

A peerless master..."

Shen Xiaojia almost fell over when he heard this, cursed angrily, and muttered, "Such a bastard setting is the biggest insult to me as the protagonist! The beating just now was too light, he likes to show off so much... Just

He should be beaten until he doesn’t even recognize himself!”

Just at this moment, Yan Qi climbed up a big tree, waved to Shen Xiaojia who was running in the sun, and shouted, "I'll sleep first out of respect... Work hard, young man! Let's meet at the top!"

Since then, two strange landscapes have appeared in the valley filled with birds and flowers.

A young man in green clothes slept soundly on a branch, feeling happy and comfortable.

A boy in a red shirt ran wildly back and forth on the grass, sweating like rain.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and the stars change. The figures of the two young men remain unchanged like the flowers, plants and trees in the valley.

On July 15th, Shen Xiaojia, a boy in red shirt, had not finished running a hundred miles until midnight, so Yan Qi, a man in green clothes on the tree, spat a big mouthful of saliva at the bottom of the tree with a sneer on his face.

On July 16, Shen Xiaojia ran a hundred miles before sunset, and also did 800 push-ups. Then he proudly came to the branch where Yan Qi was, unbuttoned his belt, and a yellow fountain shot out.

On July 17, just as Shen Xiaojia finished his thousandth frog leap, Yan Qi, who was sleeping, hung under the branch, opened his mouth and spit out a fruit core, which hit Shen Xiaojia squarely on the forehead, leaving a trace of

The next deep red mark.

…

On July 21st, at a quarter past noon, Shen Xiaojia finished doing the 5,000th leg raise, exhaled a long breath, and shouted at the tree, "It's time to collect the bill!"

Yan Qi, who was snoring like thunder, jumped off the branch, stood with an exaggerated left side, opened his eyes, a light flashed in his eyes, stretched, stood up straight and said, "The time is just right."

Chu Yunqiao, who was wearing a pink shirt, and Tao Niang, who was wearing a green gauze, also walked out of the thatched hut. They each held a bowl of food piled high in their hands and said with a chuckle, "Eat first! Eat enough.

Only then can you have the strength to fight..."

Yan Qi's eyes twitched a few times and he grinned, "So big?"

Over there, Shen Xiaojia was already swallowing loudly and kept spitting out the food, "Wouldn't it be better to make it a little bigger?"

Yan Qi turned his head with difficulty to look at Tao Niang's frosty face, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and wolf it down, muttering, "I'm different from him... He sweats so much every day, consumes a lot, and eats a lot.

Normal...I just want to sleep, I really can’t eat..."

Tao Niang pressed Yan Qi's head into the rice bowl and said coldly, "You have to eat even if you can't eat it. I have worked hard all morning, how can I waste it! Not a single grain is allowed to be left!"

After a restful meal, Shen Xiaojia let out a long burp, touched his round belly and said, "I've eaten, it's time to stretch my muscles and bones!"

Yan Qi swallowed the last mouthful of food, licked his lips and said, "How should we fight? Even if we are both masters now, we still don't have an advantage in numbers..."

Shen Xiaojia tidied up his red shirt, picked up the Shuangjiang Sword, put the black package on his shoulder, looked in the direction of Yuecheng, and said with a faint look, "First fight one person, then a group!"

Tao Niang walked up to Yan Qi, looked at Shen Xiaojia with confusion on her face and said, "Which one to fight first?"

"Of course he is the most shameless one..." Shen Xiaojia bumped Yan Qi's shoulder and said with a smile, "Is it okay for you to beat him alone?"

"You can beat him with your eyes closed!" Yan Qi said calmly, "It's just that I want to beat him to death in Zuiyue Tower. I'm afraid my mother won't see him elsewhere!"

"I'll help you lure him over," Tao Niang suddenly stretched out her slender hand, took Yan Qi's hand and said, "I am the boss's wife's daughter-in-law, so I should contribute, and in the past two days, I have learned from the boss's wife's

I found Chasing the Wind and Wandering Dragon Steps in the jewelry box, and there is no one here who is more suitable than me to take this trip!"

"That's good!" Shen Xiaojia laughed and said, "I'll leave that shameless martial arts idiot to you... I'll make some knives and buy a coffin, and I'll be waiting for you at the gate of Zuiyue Tower at midnight!"

As Chu Yunqiao walked towards Shen Xiaojia, he drew out the Shuishui Sword, slid it half a circle around the shoulder, cut off half of the black hair, and stood next to Shen Xiaojia. Li Duo said with a smile, "I'll go with you!"

Shen Xiaojia looked sideways at Chu Yunqiao's shoulder-length hair and asked in surprise, "Why did you cut your hair short?"

"Because of this..." Chu Yunqiao stared at Shen Xiaojia lovingly and said coquettishly, "I am more worthy of standing with you!"

Just when Shen Xiaojia was about to say something with emotion on his face, Yan Qi took out a jade pendant from his arms, threw it to Shen Xiaojia, and said calmly, "My father-in-law gave it to me, now I will lend it to you, maybe today

It will come in handy later...keep it carefully! You can’t afford to pay for it if it gets damaged!"
Chapter completed!
