Sleeping Arhat

Chapter 142

After another half a month, he had already left Yumen Pass, and walked outside the pass for a while, on the barren hill, there was a teahouse standing, the tea was fragrant and fragrant, making Wu Xian's mouth a little greedy.

But in this wilderness, there is such a tea shop out of thin air, which seems a bit suspicious.When he got closer, Wu Xian saw clearly that the store owner was a middle-aged man with rough lines on his face and sallow skin, and his eyes were radiant and his temples were high and bulging. He was obviously not an ordinary person, but also A practicing family with superb kung fu.

"Guest officer, would you like a pot of tea?" When the two passed by, the man's eyes lit up when he saw Zhao Min, and he said quickly, "Our teahouse has local Kunlun snow chrysanthemum tea and Pu'er..."

In such a dilapidated thatched hut, the wooden pillars of the hut are still very fresh. The big tree has just been cut down, and the mud walls are only recently built. It is obvious that they have just been built on the ground, and the strong and strong man is still so active in selling tea. Even more strange.Wu Xian looked around before seeing this man, as if waiting for something.I just felt that this guy looked a little familiar, and suddenly realized in my heart, isn't he one of the Eight Heroes of the God Arrow.

Seeing the man asking and welcoming the guests warmly, Wu Xian looked back at Zhao Min and said, "Minmin, what do you think?"

A few days ago, Zhao Min had seen the secret signal of the Wangfu's communication on the side of the road or on the rock, so she had already guessed in her mind that it must be that the people in the Wangfu had some important news to inform her, so they would leave a mark along the way. to inform myself.

Zhao Min saw the crude style of the hut from a distance, and he had some guesses in his heart. At this time, he saw this acquaintance in front of him again.

She rolled her eyes, raised her head and glanced sideways at Wu Xian, thinking to herself: It is difficult to get Xiao Xianzi away, he is also smart and smart, it is not easy to fool him, why don't we open up and talk about it.Maybe I should be more generous. If Wu Xian has something to ask, he will not be able to hide it from himself.

Besides, Zhao Min always thought that Wu Xian was mysterious and had some ulterior motives, and seemed to have everything in his mind, calm and unhurried. Strange to say, she always felt that Wu Xian seemed to know everything, so she quickly laughed at herself. He is not a fairy Bodhisattva, how could he guess everything.

Seeing that the disciples of Emei didn't meet Juejue, Zhao Min knew that almost all the disciples of the six sects had fallen into the trap, and now Wang Bashang made a special trip to wait for him, did something go wrong?After making up his mind, he said loudly, "There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to hide it, just say something."

Wang Bashang was taken aback for a moment, then carefully sized Wu Xian a few times, is there no outsider here?He came to his senses again, and the way he looked at Wu Xian changed, showing respect and admiration.

Wang Bashang knelt down on one knee, bowed and said: "Princess Princess, Lao Liu, Lao Qi and I went wrong while escorting the Huashan sent troops."

Zhao Min was condescending, his face suddenly became cold and unkind, with the majestic temperament of a superior, the cold air rushed down his face, and said in a cold voice: "What happened, and the matter was brought to light?"

Wang Bashuang said cautiously: "We captured 31 members of the Huashan faction together with the elders and disciples. We captured all of them, put them in a carriage and escorted them back. But after leaving Yumen Pass, we walked eastward for more than 100 miles. In the middle of the night, suddenly A man in black came out. He killed all the famous elders and elders of Huashan, and set fire to the corpses. Later, when the brothers heard the noise, they wanted to stop it, but it was too late. We competed with him a few moves. I took my chance and ran away.”

"The man in black?" Wu Xian's heart sank. Could it be the man in black who can absorb people's skills?
"Why did the man in black suddenly appear and kill the famous old man in Huashan? Could it be that he has a grudge against Huashan? How is the man in black's kung fu? Can you tell the way?" Zhao Min's eyes flashed coldly. She calculated others and let others take the blame for herself, but now she has to take the blame for the man in black, how could she swallow this breath.

"When he confronts the enemy, he carefully conceals it. He doesn't use any martial arts, only some superficial punching and kicking skills, but his profound skills, according to the villain, are much stronger than the two elders, Xuan Ming and the other two adults. "Wang Bashui said.

"Oh, really." Zhao Min nodded, she already understood in her heart, she thought carefully, brainstormed the clues in the words, and suddenly she said: "Since he escaped quickly, have you put out the fire and checked the body?" The situation, how many corpses there are in total."

Wang Bashuang said: "Princess, the villain is about to tell in detail. Judging from the charred corpses and the remaining number of people, there are no more and no less. There are also 31 people in total, but the bones have been burnt and the characters cannot be seen clearly." Appearance."

Zhao Min nodded lightly, waved his jade hand lightly, quite displeased, and said indifferently: "The matter is known, you go back to the team, when you gather all the troops and come together, Ah Da, Ah Er and the others will transport Six sent to General Azalu, eight of you are waiting for me in front, remember to tell everyone in Ada to be very careful about that man in black. There are still a few of you, this trivial matter can't be done well, wait to go back to receive the punishment .”

"Yes." Wang Basheng replied, then quickly got up, and hurriedly led the horse from behind the hut, whipped the horse and rode away.

Wu Xian remained silent until after Wang Bashuai left. Seeing Zhao Min's unhappy face, he said, "Princess, you are really wise and decisive. No matter how many masters you send, you still can't escape your plan. I don't know if you won it." Factions."

"You want to laugh at me." Zhao Min raised his head, his eyes were burning, and he looked at Wu Xian menacingly, the atmosphere was a little dignified for a while.

Zhao Min was in a displeased mood, now that there were few casualties among the Huashan faction's senior leaders, he wanted to come to Huashan to hate him so much, and there was no hope of subduing him.If you teach other gangs to know, you have to be extremely wary of the court.Although the six major sects did not obey the orders of the imperial court, they were different from the Mingjiao rebellion and did not directly put it on the table to oppose Yuan.

Moreover, the six major sects did not deal with Mingjiao, so she wanted to subdue the six major sects first, and then destroy Mingjiao.Even if things cannot be done, she has not yet decided whether to kill the six major factions, and the six major factions can be used as constraints against the Mingjiao. Good impression.

The two sat in the tea shop, Wu Xian went to boil water to make tea, added another plate of fennel beans, and warmed a pot of wine. He looked at Zhao Min who couldn't help frowning his willow eyebrows, looking troubled and depressed, and felt pity in his heart , and some admiration.

Wu Xian took a sip of the wine happily, added another bowl of tea to Zhao Min, and said, "If I guessed correctly, the man in black robe should be my old acquaintance, he was the one who confronted me in the inn in Shalin Town earlier. that person."

When Zhao Min heard this, her beautiful eyes sparkled, she poured out the tea, and said softly, "I want to drink too."

"Okay." Wu Xian had no choice but to stand up, pour the warm wine into the cup again, and continued: "At first I didn't know who he was, but after the battle of Guangmingding, I saw Xian Yutong's kung fu." , and now I heard that Huashan sent something, the identity of that black-robed man is ready to be revealed."

"Who?" Zhao Min asked suspiciously, his eyes looking at Wu Xian became brighter, his voice unconsciously increased a bit, and he said with a hint of anger in his tone.

Wu Xian chuckled, but didn't say it directly, but took another sip of the wine. He sat opposite Zhao Min, looking at the past with deep and distant eyes. He didn't know if he was looking at the beauty in front of him or the desert in the distance. Said: "When I competed with him in the inn that day, he was very secretive at first and didn't use his martial arts. Later, I was slightly better. I fight."

Zhao Min rolled her eyes, thinking quickly like running water in her little brain, and suddenly she said with a clear voice, "Eagle and snake fighting for life and death?"

"Yes." Wu Xian squinted and smiled, and when he heard Zhao Min's answer, there was a look of approval in his eyes.

"I saw Huashan School Xian Yutong's kung fu 'Eagle and Snake Life-and-Death Combat', and I vaguely guessed his identity. I thought that the black-robed man was inseparable from Huashan, and the black-robed man's kung fu was even more advanced. Borrowing the snake-head fan from a foreign object, the same effect can be achieved with just one hand of the snake fist, and with the words of the hero just now, it is even more certain."

"So I have a guess. The man in black robe is Chen Hou, the 'snake-shaped hand'. I just don't know that since Chen Hou is a member of the Huashan sect, he has any unresolved grievances with the Huashan sect. He wants to kill the famous elder. Clean it up." At this point, Wu Xian shook his head and sighed, then quickly let go of his sympathy, since all the Huashan sect members were dead, and he was here to show his pity for others.

Wu Xian remembered that Chen Hou had killed his brother, so he told Zhao Min about it. After Zhao Min heard it, all the Huashan sect members were dead, and it would be useless to worry about it. Love arose in her heart. Cai thought, smiled a few times and said: "That's right, it seems that he is also a ruthless person, but I don't know if he has the intention to serve the court, and he can help me."

"If he seeks refuge with me, it's because of his high abilities, so I don't have to worry about him. Otherwise, the old and new quarrels will be settled together, but he won't be as good as he is." Zhao Min said with a smile.

Seeing that Zhao Min had made a decision, Wu Xian couldn't help but feel a little worried. Now that he was sure that the man was Chen Hou, Wu Xian knew that Chen Hou looked simple and honest on the outside, but he was actually a vicious snake. You didn't react until Leng Bulingding bit you and put you to death.

Wu Xian immediately said: "Princess, you are better than me in the art of controlling people, and I can't persuade you, but Chen Hou is a poisonous snake and a bird of prey, without the slightest emotion at all. He is humble and kind, and makes people feel like a spring breeze. He did not hesitate to kill his senior brother for the favor of the sect leader Xian Yutong, which shows his ambition."

Zhao Min didn't care about it at all, and said with a smile: "That's good. He is greedy for power and strength in his heart, and he has goals and pursuits. I will give him power, fame and fortune, and help him achieve his goals. I will give him both kindness and power. If he is like you, he has nothing to pursue. , that’s going to be difficult.”

"But I have become enemies with him. According to his temperament of vengeance, he will definitely not be kind. Just wait for a chance for me to fall into the water, and he will pounce on me without hesitation." Wu Xian's mind came up again. At that scene back then, Chen Hou killed his senior brother madly and ferociously for his own selfishness, and he felt a little chills in his heart.

Chen Hou can be said to be extremely tolerant, and now he has learned an unknown method of absorbing energy, and his strength cannot be underestimated. Wu Xian glanced at Zhao Min again, and suddenly thought in his heart, Chen Hou saw that I have a close relationship with the princess, so he can do nothing. Will I plot against Zhao Min?
Thinking of this, Wu Xian raised his body, his eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a firm voice, "Princess, you don't have to think about recruiting her, since I have already formed a death feud with him, and he has a vicious temper, and he will take revenge." , and learned another vicious method of absorbing kung fu, the martial arts are not inferior to me, this time when I return to the Central Plains, I will ask Elder Li to send a disciple of the beggar gang to inquire about his news, and personally kill Chen Hou, so as not to be killed by him in the future I regret it."

Seeing that Wu Xian's tone was unquestionable, Zhao Min didn't object anymore. This Chen Hou has a forbearing bad temper and extremely strong strength, which is actually an uncontrollable factor. If he is by his side, it is indeed a big hidden danger, so he can kill him.

"Princess, do you know why besides learning Huashan's unique martial arts skills, why is his inner strength extremely deep?" Wu Xian stared at Zhao Min and reminded him kindly.

Zhao Min shook her head, she also knew very little about Chen Hou, she only knew that he was a disciple of Xian Yutong, and his kung fu was extremely brilliant, he had done many good deeds to eradicate evil and promote good, and gained a good reputation, so she sent him along with him Wu Xian and others ranked among the "Four Heroes".As for why Chen Hou's skills are profound, these things are extremely secretive, how can she know.

Wu Xian took a deep breath, a little cautious in his heart, now that Chen Hou has let himself go, I don't know how much internal energy he will absorb this time, and to what extent his skill will increase.Wu Xian said solemnly: "He knows a great method of energy absorption, which can suck up other people's internal energy and then transform it into his own internal energy."

"Is there such a skill?" Zhao Min's eyes lit up. If this is the case, if he obtains this skill, not only can he mass-produce martial arts masters, but who else in the world can be his enemy.

Wu Xian saw that Zhao Min had bad thoughts, so he said: "Although I have never practiced this kind of kung fu, I think this evil kung fu requires great perseverance and great opportunity to cultivate. It's hard to understand."

Zhao Min immediately calmed down. There are many first-class masters around her. Under the subtle influence, she has extraordinary experience in martial arts. Cultivation is also more difficult.

Zhao Min said "hmm", took a sip of the light wine, raised his head and said softly, "Then when I return to Dadu, I will send the men of the palace to search for this person, and Ah Da and Ah Er will also send out to prevent you from fighting alone. .”

Wu Xian was stunned when he heard this, and quickly waved his hands and said: "The princess is kind enough to accept it, and you don't need to make any moves. Absorption Dafa sounds simple, but it's just four words, but you didn't face it personally. Absolutely can't understand the danger in it."
