The apprentices who were picked up were cut in vain

"To be honest, if he doesn't wake up, I really can't move my back, my arm is still hurt!" Xie Yan said panting with Yun Yiyuan on his back.

"Isn't this your apprentice?" Zhu Ming walked in the front without turning back, "Please take responsibility, besides, he was knocked unconscious by you."

"Hey, little friend Zhuming, didn't your old man tell me to make him faint? You shouldn't be responsible for it too?" Xie Yan yelled angrily.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ming turned around and looked at Xie Yan calmly, "How are you going to make me responsible? Let me carry him?"

Seeing that Zhu Ming was not as tall as his own thigh, Xie Yan really couldn't figure out how to take responsibility.

Just as Xie Yan was about to lament, he suddenly felt that Yun Yiyuan on his back was short of breath, and his body moved slightly.

"Brother apprentice? Are you awake?" Xie Yan hurriedly put him down, "Do you know who I am?"

"Master..." Yun Yiyuan looked at Xie Yan in a daze, feeling that his ears were ringing.

"Okay, I didn't fool anyone." Xie Yan let out a long breath, and sat down beside Yun Yiyuan to rest, "Do you still remember what you did just now?"

"I... have a toothache..." Yun Yiyuan looked confused, then suddenly saw the wound on Xie Yan's arm, and suddenly woke up, "Master, are you injured?"

"It's okay, it's just a scratch on the skin, but the white clothes are too obvious." Xie Yan hid his injured arm back uncomfortably, "Does your head still hurt? I couldn't do anything just now, so I bumped into it." Your head, don't blame the master."

Zhu Ming looked thoughtful, looking at Yun Yiyuan who seemed to be remembering, wondered if the young man in front of him remembered what his master did to him with his mouth before hitting him on the head.

"No problem, it's just that I don't practice enough, and Master has no other choice." Yun Yiyuan got up and said, "We still have to catch up with Senior Zhou, we can't delay any longer."

that's all?Zhu Ming stared at Yun Yiyuan with wide eyes, did he really not remember anything?

"That's right, we have been delayed for a long time, don't talk about it, let's hurry up." Xie Yan's smile was threatening, and he looked at Zhuming who wanted to say something, "Zhuming Kid, are you right?"

Zhu Ming immediately shut his mouth, didn't say anything, and started to move forward silently.

Xie Yan escaped, and his heart was mostly relieved, but he still had doubts in his heart. He moved to Yun Yiyuan's side and asked, "Brother apprentice, what exactly did you see after you fell into the maze?"

When Yun Yiyuan heard the words, his pupils trembled slightly, and it took a long time before he said softly, "It's just an old thing in my family, master, do you want to know?"

"Your family affairs? Forget it." Xie Yan waved his hand and said, "I don't like to pry into other people's private affairs, but if you want to talk to someone one day, Master, I am the best candidate. Master absolutely Don't tell anyone, keep your mouth shut."

Yun Yiyuan looked sideways, looked at Xie Yan with a serious face, and said, "Thank you, Master."

"Ham, why are you so polite between master and apprentice? I don't like being a high-ranking master. I like master and apprentice getting along like friends, so don't put on airs with me, apprentice brother." Xie Yan laughed.

Yun Yiyuan looked at Xie Yan and smiled, "Then why did you accept me as an apprentice, we just get along as friends."

"That's no good. It's my dream to be a master. It's hard to accept a cute, cute and powerful apprentice like you. You can't betray the master again!" Xie Yan said to Yun Yiyuan, but he didn't notice Yun Yi Yuan's face changed slightly when he heard that he had betrayed the teacher.

"Yes, this disciple will never betray the master, please rest assured, master." Yun Yiyuan said, but his eyes wandered into the distance.

"That's right, let's hurry up, that little bastard Zhuming has already run ahead." After saying that, Xie Yan hurriedly dragged Yun Yiyuan forward, trying to catch up with Zhuming.

What Xie Yan didn't notice was that at this moment, Yun Yiyuan was looking at him with complicated emotions in his eyes.

***

Xie Yan and his party managed to walk up the last stone steps, and what appeared in front of them was a dilapidated door, the gold paint on the door was peeling off, it was mottled and dilapidated, and the plaque on the door said "Cangjian Sect" was full of people. dust.

"That's it?" Xie Yan was exhausted from climbing the stone steps. He found a stone and sat down, panting and said, "This sect doesn't pay much attention to appearance, does it?"

Zhuming looked at the door with a solemn expression and did not speak.

"I thought you finally got a little smokey, how did you become dumb again?" Xie Yan frowned, and asked, "What should I do now, where did Brother Zhou go? Where did the priest go?"

Zhu Ming didn't answer Xie Yan's repeated questions, he stepped forward, reached out and touched the dilapidated gate, tears suddenly fell from his eyes.

"What's the situation?" Xie Yan was startled when he saw Zhuming crying, and quickly got up and ran to Zhuming's side to wipe his tears, "I didn't mean to hurt you just now, I was just too tired, and my words were a little out of my head, you Don't cry..."

"Master, I'm afraid Zhuming didn't cry because of you, maybe he revisited the old place and was touched by the scene." Yun Yiyuan couldn't help but said.

"Is it like this? But yes, if this is really Zhuming's house, it will be sad if this house becomes like this. The dust at the door is so thick, it feels like no one has been here for a long time..." Xie Yan nodded Said.

"Why don't we go in and take a look, we've already arrived here, and we won't be able to turn back for a while." Yun Yiyuan said.

Xie Yan felt his scalp tingle when he thought about the thousands of stone steps, and said quickly, "Yes, let's find a way to get in first, I don't want to go back."

After Xie Yan finished speaking, Yun Yiyuan stepped forward and slammed the door heavily.

Seeing Yun Yiyuan knocking on the door, Xie Yan had a question mark on his face, "I said apprentice brother, do you think this place looks like someone lives there? If you still knock on the door, why don't you give it to me with a sword..."

Before Xie Yan finished speaking, the door gradually opened. Xie Yan opened his mouth wide on the spot, looking at the scene inside the door in surprise.

The world inside the door is quite different from the outside world. The birds and insects chirping inside the door, the flowers are fragrant, the floor is covered with neat stone slabs, and a few ancient trees are hidden into the clouds. It is a solemn and solemn scene. An old school that has existed for hundreds of years.

Yun Yiyuan also had a shocked expression on his face, he held up the hand that knocked the door awkwardly, hesitating not to go in.

"Welcome to the Cangjian Sect."

Just as Xie Yan and the others were struggling, a handsome boy came out of the door, bowed to them, and said, "You are all guests of our Cangjian Sect, please follow me in."

"Wait," Xie Yan finally came back to his senses. He sized up the boy and asked, "Is Zhou Guangji with you?"

"Uncle Zhou arrived at the camp before the others, and is resting in the room at the moment, and the others will see him after a while." Xiao Tong said with a smile, and made a gesture of invitation to Xie Yan.

Xie Yan looked at Yun Yiyuan, Yun Yiyuan was also uncertain at the moment, but when the two of them were considering whether to go in, Zhu Ming walked in without even looking back.

This is an important npc that the system said must be protected!Xie Yan was in a hurry, and didn't care if it was a trap, so he chased Zhu Ming and ran in.Yun Yiyuan saw that Xie Yan had gone in, and quickly followed.

The little boy watched Xie Yan and his party walk away with a smile on his face, then turned and closed the door.Outside the door, there was still that dilapidated scene, and in the gradually darkening sky, it was stained with a bit of depression.

***

Xie Yan and the others were unexpectedly warmly received.

As soon as Xie Yan entered, Dao Tong came to arrange a place for them to stay, and even asked Xie Yan if he wanted to change and take a bath, which flattered Xie Yan.

But just in case, Xie Yan resolutely asked Zhu Ming to stay by his side, and the Taoist boy who received him didn't say anything, and left after delivering food and a change of clothes.

So Xie Yan took a bath comfortably, changed into a gray Taoist robe, and started eating happily.But Zhu Ming has been sitting by the bed, looking outside in a daze.

"I said, kid Zhuming, people are iron and rice is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you'll be hungry, so come over and eat some." Xie Yan swallowed a big mouthful of rice, and said to Zhuming.

"They're lying." Zhu Ming said.

"Huh? You mean people from the Cangjian Sect?" Xie Yan said while stuffing a piece of crisp and refreshing bamboo shoots into his mouth, "Of course I also think they are strange. You said those two Taoist priests were so fierce to us, come up We were going to fight and kill, but when we actually got here, the people in this faction were so polite to us? No matter how you look at it, it’s a weasel wishing a chicken a new year, uneasy and kind.”

"Since you know, why are you still sitting here?" Zhu Ming's originally calm face finally showed anxiety, "Zhou Guangji doesn't know what's going on now!"

"No, I just find it strange, you little friend, you usually don't have much to say, and you were silent when Brother Zhou asked you before, why are you so concerned about his life and death now?" Xie Yan bit his chopsticks and looked at the candle suspiciously. bright.

When Zhu Ming was asked by Xie Yan, he was also stunned. He thought for a while, then said dejectedly, "I don't know."

Xie Yan rolled his eyes straight out of the sky, lowered his head to eat, and never wanted to pay attention to this ignorant Zhuming.

"My memory is all messed up. I have seen him, but I just don't know in what capacity I saw him. I don't know why I appeared in front of your carriage. I just know that I am looking for People, but I don't know who I'm looking for." Zhu Ming murmured, hugging his head in pain.

"Oh, don't think about it if you can't remember it. Of course I won't leave Brother Zhou alone. I'm just going along with the flow. I'll go find Brother Zhou's whereabouts after it gets dark. You said that if I just pointed at those roads Tong wants someone, will they tell me where he is?" Xie Yan put down his chopsticks, ran to Zhu Ming's side, and carefully touched Zhu Ming's head.

With tears in Zhu Ming's eyes, he looked at Xie Yan and said, "Is what you said true? Are you going to look for it after dark?"

"I promised Brother Zhou that I would send him back to the sect. Although it seems that we have already sent him to the place, but if this is not where Brother Zhou wants to stay, we will take him back wherever he came from. Don't worry, brother Zhou has helped us a lot, I won't leave him alone." Xie Yan said, picked up Zhu Ming and put him at the dining table.

"Okay, let's eat now, we can go find someone when we're full." Xie Yan served Zhu Ming a meal, urging him to eat quickly.

"But..." Zhu Ming hesitated and didn't move his chopsticks, looked at Xie Yan and said, "Aren't you afraid that the food is drugged?"

"I'm going? Why didn't you say you poor boy earlier!"
