The sound of chanting slowly faded away like dust and smoke that had dispersed.

Xinlu's fingers twisted to the head of the rosary.

Qin Juexiang said leisurely: "Recite the scriptures once, twist a bead, you have already twisted the twelfth." ”

Xinlu's eyelids were slightly raised, and two clear cold flashes flashed in her eyes: "You have been looking at me." ”

Qin Juexiang didn't speak, lowered his head, and used iron chopsticks to flick the yellow paper in the copper basin with one hand, and the breeze rolled the spark into the air, flying like a fine golden thread.

Xinlu got up and walked out, Qin Juexiang stopped: "Wait!" Xinlu didn't move, tilted his head slightly: "What's the matter?" Qin Juexiang said: "Sister Xinlu, I have something to say to you." Xinlu turned her face coldly: "Young Master Qin, there are some things that should be said and not said, you have thought about it yourself, and it is not too late to think about it clearly." ”

Qin Juexiang's face stiffened slightly, and his smile was mixed with some worry that implied hesitation and expectation: "Sister Xinlu, you already feel it, right?"

Xinlu was silent.

The paper is burning, and two black figures are drawn outside the mourning shed in the warm yellow, connected to the dark night, swaying like candlelight on the desk.

Qin Juexiang paced slowly two steps and muttered: "People who practice martial arts, their internal skills are cultivated to a high place, they are psychic all over their bodies, and their intuition is much sharper, no wonder some people say that they can enter the Tao with martial arts, know the destiny of heaven, life and death." I haven't worked hard to practice martial arts, and I don't know what the future holds, but I know one thing very well," he must have at his feet, and his eyes returned to Xinlu's body: "That is, in this battle of revenge that is about to begin, the chances of my death are much better than the chances of survival." So I have to say something in my heart, if it weren't for that, I was afraid that I wouldn't have this opportunity in the future. ”

Xinlu said: "The Hengshan faction is committed to studying Buddhism, practicing with a pure heart, ignoring the grievances of the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that I will not be able to help you in this matter." ”

Qin Juexiang took a step forward: "Sister Xinlu, you know that what I want to say is not this ......"

Xinlu intercepted: "It's late at night, I'm going to rest." Saying that, he walked out of the spirit shed, and Qin Juexiang took a step after him: "You won't even give me a chance to speak?"

Xinlu didn't answer, and the black clothes drifted away with the wind.

The firelight quickly dimmed, and the warm yellow in the spirit shed faded, as if it had been invaded by the night for a few minutes, Qin Juexiang was alone guarding a basin of cold ash scraps, stunned.

"Swore to sweep away the Huns without regard for themselves, and five thousand mink brocade mourned Hu Chen. Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a deep dream. ”

The poems and the night breeze came, and the reciter's voice was slightly hoarse, with a sense of calm and sorrow.

Qin Juexiang looked sideways, and saw a person standing under the moon, looking at the stars in the distance, with a burly figure, a fluttering beard, black and white, it was Chen Shengyi, Chang Sihao was beside him, leaning on a dart car, his left leg bent on the spokes of the wheel, his right foot on the ground, his arms hugged in front of his chest, and he was silent.

Qin Juexiang said angrily: "Big beard! If you want to entertain the deity, it won't be your turn!"

Chen Shengyi smiled lightly: "Where did the young master come from, who would dare to entertain you?"

Qin Juexiang snorted coldly: "You can't hear your words when I am a three-year-old child?

Chen Shengyi: "I didn't hint at who is the bone of the uncertain river, but I'm afraid that some people have already regarded themselves as it." Qin Juexiang's heart was shocked, and his face changed slightly. Chang Sihao said: "Absolutely loud, for the victory or defeat, in fact, you know very well in your heart, so why bother to be rash." Qin Juexiang frowned slightly: "Brother Chang, even you say that!"

Chang Sihao smiled: "I'm not in the martial arts, I don't know the people and things in it." The Juhao Pavilion you talked about was originally just a vague impression in my heart, but after the battle of the Qin Mansion, I already have a preliminary understanding of them, even if I am not impulsive, not reckless, and act in a planned manner, I am afraid that our chances of victory are not very good. In what you said to the head of Xinlu just now, you revealed your true thoughts, in fact, in your heart, you already knew the final outcome. ”

Qin Juexiang lowered his head, his body was tense, and his eyes were full of complicated emotions, constantly changing. Chang Sihao continued: "What you want to say to Xinlu, I can roughly guess it......" Qin Juexiang raised his head and looked at him violently, his face was surprised, Chang Sihao smiled: "You don't have to be nervous, in fact, I saw the concern you showed when you heard the divine lawyer say that the head of Xinlu was going to practice the food cause law and cut the flesh to save the people, so I had already guessed a thing or two, not only me, but with the eyes you usually look at her, I am afraid that the clear-eyed people inside and outside this courtyard can also see it." ”

Qin Jue's embarrassed expression suddenly turned cold, he snorted lowly, and snorted a few times, and then laughed, and the embarrassment on his face faded: "Yes, what if she is a nun? She is ten years older than me, so what? Whoever likes to say what he wants, who likes to think what he wants, can think what he wants! Lao Tzu lives in heaven and earth, and what he wants is a comfortable and happy person, and no one cares who I like!"

"Okay, good, hehehe," Chang Sihao laughed with a lot of praise, slowly paced to the front, and patted him on the shoulder: "Good brother, dare to love and hate, dare to do and dare to act, it is the true nature of a man." Nuns are also human beings, and they also have seven emotions and six desires, as well as love and hatred, so why can't they be liked by people? No one cares about you, and no one has the right to care about you, you can rest assured of this. ”

Chen Sheng's eyes were shocked when he heard this, as if he couldn't believe that these words could actually come out of Chang Sihao's mouth.

Qin Juexiang was very relieved, and said with a smile: "Brother Chang, you still know my mind, in fact, if it wasn't for Sister Xinlu blocking my conversation everywhere just now, I would have told her a long time ago." ”

"She already knows, this layer of paper doesn't break it," Chang Sihao walked into the spirit shed, squatted down, and refilled some paper into the copper basin, and then continued: "Absolutely loud, in the battle of Juhao Pavilion, you have a heart of death, and tell her to break it, no matter what people think, there are always many worries in your heart, if you bury your bones in Jiangnan, won't you really become her dream?"

Qin Juexiang was stunned when he heard this: "That...... What to do?"

Chang Sihao smiled: "Actually, it's easy, if you want to have a future you can look forward to with her, you have to save your life." ”

Qin Juexiang's eyes flashed, he already understood his meaning, and said loudly: "No! grandpa and uncle all died because of them, this revenge will not be avenged, I will be in vain!"

Chen Shengyi said solemnly: "You are wrong, Xiaohao meant, it's not that you don't fight, but that you want to win!"

"Victory?" Qin Juexiang couldn't help but be stunned, the integration of the combat power of the Juhao Pavilion was no less than the army of a country, although everyone knew that they had expanded too much, and the people's hearts were difficult to decide, but who in his cabinet dared to rise up a rebellion in the past few years? No matter how intriguing is in secret, it is difficult for such a big stall as Juhao Pavilion to maintain a stable situation on the surface. Although they are scolded as gathering sand into a tower and a rabble, but the heroes and heroes along the Yangtze River are capable of doing it, which one is easy to do? They surrender to the eldest grandson Xiaochi, it does not mean that they can't, but the eldest grandson laughs and chith!

After the Qin family turned from bright to dark, although it has accumulated strong financial resources, its influence on the rivers and lakes has long been much worse than before, and now there is no Qin Langchuan as the backbone, Qin Yi, Qi Beishan, Wen Zhengyin, Yan Ruzhi and others have also passed away, and the rest of the people get together, and they can barely deal with the remaining five major heroes in Juhao Pavilion, as for the three monarchs and four emperors, they can't even think about it, just a Ming Chengjun Shen Lu, who can be the enemy? Shaking the eldest grandson Xiaochi, it is even more foolish to say a dream.

Chang Sihao said: "With the current strength of the Qin family, it is impossible to defeat them, and judging from the current situation, I am afraid that if we don't wait for us to gather people to attack them, they will take the lead in attacking, however, there is a saying that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, the Qin family has a favorable location and people, and it is easy to maneuver in a roundabout, if it is to gather soldiers and horses to fight a tough battle, it is in the hands of the eldest grandson pavilion master, he is worried that he can't catch them all, isn't this a sheep into the tiger's mouth?"

Qin Juexiang thought for a long time, nodded and said, "Big brother, then what do you say?"

"Two words: don't worry. Chang Sihao got up and smiled: "Jue Bang, as long as you cheer up, endure the anger for a while, work hard to expand the territory, cultivate good hands, and unite all the forces that can be united, within a few years, you can naturally have the strength to compete with Juhao Pavilion." Qin Juexiang frowned and said: "This method is safe, but it is too slow!Big brother, I have already planned, I will send a letter to contact the Hundred Swords Alliance when I go back, the Lord of the Zheng League and my grandfather have a good relationship, and they will not sit idly by, he is a master in the alliance, if he can dispatch, it must not be difficult for the two of us to join forces to deal with Juhao Pavilion." ”

Chen Sheng shook his head and sighed: "Young master, based on your words, you know that you are just a child. The rivers and lakes are always the most realistic and cruel, only eternal interests, no eternal friendship, there is a folk proverb to save the emergency but not the poor, this is the truth. Today's Qin family, to say something unpleasant, is already exhausted, and the master of the Zheng League is only perfunctory at most, can he confront Juhao Pavilion head-on for the sake of us?"

Qin Juexiang raised his eyebrows a few times, and finally suppressed the anger, it is an indisputable fact that the rudder of the Qin family was destroyed, if any Jianghu sect is moved to the base camp, it is to smash the brand, pour the banner, and plant it to the end in the rivers and lakes, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is poor.

Chang Sihao said: "What Brother Chen said is reasonable, you have to rely on yourself in everything, put your hope on others, once something goes wrong, you will only be dumbfounded." ”

Qin Juexiang looked left and right, looked at the two of them for a while, and said with a smile: "After going around in circles for a long time, it turns out that you still persuade me not to act rashly, okay, big brother, I understand your thoughts." ”

Chen Sheng still had disapproval in his tone when he heard him, and said in a deep voice: "What, young master, do you still want to go your own way?"
