Having said this, Jiang Yichen naturally understood that the wonderful swordsmanship that Xuan Xiao used when fighting him just now was integrated into this strange armor-evading technique.
"As you can see, I successfully developed the swordsmanship combined with Qimen Dunjia, but I was only a small success at that time. I tried three of the eight formations, but I was not very skilled in using them. Even so, It's enough to be jealous of the jealous Master and Disciple Yuan Shen and make a big fuss out of it..." After Xuan Xiao saw Jiang Yichen's clear expression, he stopped talking and let him speculate on what would happen next.
"So, Brother Xuanxiao can be regarded as stealing the martial arts from the great hero Yan Qing. But when we were fighting against foreign aggression, no one from the famous and decent sect learned it?" Jiang Yichen asked.
"Yes, the decent people from famous families have high self-esteem, and they will not touch the martial arts from foreign schools. Even if they learn it, they learn it secretly and use it secretly. They will never reveal it in front of the public. Huh, they are just a bunch of hypocrites." Xuan Xiao snorted disdainfully.
"The wife of the great hero Yan Qing betrayed the Emei sect and eloped with him. After his improved Emei stabbing method was made public, although it was praised by people in the world, it was scorned by the famous and decent sects, especially Emei. If it weren't for Yan at that time The great hero Qing has a high reputation in the world, and it coincides with the time when we are fighting against foreign aggression together, so this matter has been hastily covered up, otherwise Yan Qing might have been made an evil heretic by those so-called decent people from a well-known family, and we will jointly crusade against him." Xuan Xiao then explained.
"Then Hero Yan Qing also encountered unexpected events during the Anti-Japanese War?" Jiang Yichen asked.
"This is not clear. It is rumored that he and Xiao Yutong, the two heroes, led the righteous soldiers deep into the enemy's rear, fought against the enemy to the death, and found a breathing space for Zhongzhou. Only then can the decline of the war be reversed, and the final victory be achieved. . But the two of them are missing. At least before I was imprisoned in the secret cave, there was no news that they were found." Xuan Xiao replied.
"Is this so? I have heard the names of these two heroes before, but I have never heard of them reappearing in the world. They may have sacrificed their lives for Zhongzhou..." Jiang Yichen couldn't help but sigh.
"In this case, the hero Yan Qing is no longer alive. Therefore, Xuan Xiao's actions are fueled by Master Yuan Shen and his disciples. It is logical that he will become a traitor who has abandoned the right path. He must also be the target of verbal and written criticism from the famous and upright sect. Yes." Jiang Yichen quickly figured out the key.
"Yes, in this way, they can justifiably erase me." Xuan Xiao smiled ferociously again.
"But it is not as good as fate. My great master is back. My great master is more fond of famous mountains and rivers, and has no nostalgia for the mortal world. He only accepted my master as his apprentice in his life, and then he traveled to all over the world and lived freely. He also heard about the death of his master. He rushed back to Wudang, learned about my deeds, and decided to protect me. However, Yuan Shen, in the name of the head of Wudang, united with Emei and other decent factions to put pressure on the Grand Master. Although it was the first time to meet the Grand Master, I met him again. I felt the same kind of fatherly care that comes from my master, and I didn’t want to embarrass my master too much, so I accepted a compromise and received three decent punishments, and was imprisoned in a secret cave in Wudang, where I will not be able to escape for the rest of my life.”
"The punishment is carried out by the three sects of Wudang, Shaolin and Emei. The Shaolin rod is fifty feet. Monks are still merciful after all. The punishment of fifty feet is not severe. But because of Yan Qing's incident, he got angry at me and shouted to get rid of the devil. Emei, who defends the law more loudly than Wudang, was soft-handed when he was tortured. Master Jingyi deliberately hit me with a soft palm, causing me to vomit blood, to show that I was seriously injured. The most ironic thing is that the master of his own sect Gate, if Yuan Shen takes action, it will be a matter of settling old and new grudges, and once he takes action, he will directly destroy my internal strength!"
"Haha, haha! After all these years, I am finally allowed to cultivate my inner strength again! Yuan Shen, my child! What can you do to me? What can you do to me! What can you do to me!!! Ah!!!..."
Finally, the anger that had been suppressed for more than ten years completely exploded at this moment!
Xuan Xiao stood up and roared in the sky.
Jiang Yichen got too close to him and suddenly felt dizzy, as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking!
In the empty Wudang Secret Cave, whistling echoed, and the lingering sound was lingering. It was already half an hour before the space returned to silence.
"If I hadn't promised the master that I would never abandon Wudang no matter what, how could I, Xuan Xiao, be willing to perish here? The Grand Master has also sacrificed a lot for me, and he was worried that Yuan Shen would secretly try to take my life again. After being imprisoned here, he will guard the Sanqing Palace, which is the closest to here but the most remote and uninhabited." Gradually, Xuan Xiao returned to calm, and Jiang Yichen was now able to face Xuan Xiao's ups and downs calmly. emotions.
"In the beginning, he could often come to visit me, but later he could only wait at the entrance of the cave, waiting for me to see him when I arrived. Later, due to the Wudang established by Yuan Shen, the people were not allowed to see me. I have never seen each other again. Then, in these years, I can only keep guarding these bricks and mortar and these skills, and my days are like years. But what I can know is that the old master Taishi is still guarding me. Because in addition to the food and drinks that are sent through the ingenuity from time to time, there will be changes of clothes every few days, and only the Grand Master will be so attentive..." Thinking of the kindness between the Master and the Grand Master, Xuan Xiao could not help but Suppressing the emotions in his heart, tears burst out in front of Jiang Yichen again.
"Thirteen years." Jiang Yichen still couldn't help blurting out, "If you were imprisoned here soon after returning to Wudang, it would have been nearly thirteen years."
"...Thirteen years. The Grand Master has been guarding the Sanqing Palace for thirteen years, which is really hard on him." Xuan Xiao's weak fist fell lightly on the ground, "Such a kindness , I, Xuan Xiao, may not be able to repay you in this life..."
Jiang Yichen wanted to say a few words of comfort, but as an outsider he didn't know where to start, so he could only stay silent.
Click, click, click, the long silence was broken by the sound of friction coming from the secret passage.
After a moment, the sound of the stone door gently opening attracted Xuan Xiao.
The sound originated from the front left corner of the space. When I heard the sound and looked around, I could see that a small square piece of masonry at the bottom of the wall moved its position, and a secret passage appeared, from which Xuan Xiao took out a plate of food.
"I thought it was getting late outside, and I was about to invite my little brother out. Unexpectedly, the Grand Master actually asked the brother who delivered the meal to prepare an extra meal. I think he took pity on me, who has been too old for more than ten years. I hope you can stay with me and talk more." Xuan Xiao laughed at himself, and as he spoke, he came to Jiang Yichen.
"Then why I came here will be known to the head Yuan Shen? Then I won't be in trouble with brother Xuan Xiao again, right?" Jiang Yichen was stunned at first, thinking of Yuan Shen's viciousness, he couldn't help but feel guilty for Xuan Xiao's Worry about the situation.
"Oh, little brother, there is no need to worry too much. Today's Jinyiwei matter will definitely be discussed later. As long as those old men still beg my master, they will not come to trouble me at this juncture. They will turn a blind eye to this trivial matter. It only took one eye." Xuan Xiao replied calmly.
"I'm afraid that Queen Qiu will settle the score..." Jiang Yichen frowned.
"Eh. Let's not talk about this anymore. It will disturb the mood of the meal." Xuan Xiao interrupted Jiang Yichen, put the tray on the ground between the two of them, and sat down cross-legged.
When Jiang Yichen saw that Xuan Xiao didn't take it seriously, he couldn't bear to worry about it anymore, which would only add to his troubles. Unexpectedly, when he saw that in addition to the two meals, there were two small cups of wine on the plate, Jiang Yichen frowned even more.
"The food tonight is pretty good. Come on, let's eat first while it's hot. I'll have to make do with my little brother on the hard ground tonight. It's really rare to get drunk this morning. It's also because of my little brother. Only then can I drink with this old friend I haven't seen for a long time." Xuan Xiao also said that Jiang Yichen was too worried and ignored him. He lightly opened the lid of the wine with one hand and brought it close to the tip of his nose, savoring the aroma of today's intoxication.
"In this case, I would rather be respectful than obey my orders." Of course, what Jiang Yichen was worried about was not spending more time with Xuan Xiao or Yuan Shen's settlement of accounts with Xuan Xiao's autumn queen. He just saw the wine and poured it when he thought about it. History, I can't help but worry that I will be embarrassed again. So his stomach, his spleen, and his liver were all twisted into a ball in protest. At that moment, he secretly sighed, "I'll just let it go as soon as it comes," and comforted myself. Then, with an expression that looked forward to death and risked its life to accompany the gentleman, he took the other Gujiu over cautiously.
Seeing this, Xuan Xiao on the side didn't know why. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He thought Jiang Yichen was a drunkard and got so excited when he saw wine that he started drinking without even eating. That being the case, his wish was fulfilled.
"Come! Take a sip first for the sake of fate." Xuan Xiao pried open the lid of the wine, touched the wine in Jiang Yichen's hand, raised his head and took a deep sip, and drank first as a token of respect!
But over there, Jiang Yichen was stunned by the sound of the collision of wine cups.
