Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

On the Yuqing Hall, Daoxuan Daoxuan was dressed in a dark green Taoist robe, with a long beard hanging down his chest, sitting on the main seat of the hall.On the seats on both sides are the heads of other branches of Qingyun. Speaking of the battle of Qingyun Mountain ten years ago, three of the seven branches of Qingyunmen changed their seats. Time, things have changed. Except for the position of Cangsong Taoist in Longshou Peak, who was replaced by Qi Hao, the other changed two lines, the first Shang Zhengliang in Chaoyang Peak was replaced by his disciple Chu Yuhong, and the first Tianyun Taoist in Luoxia Peak was replaced by Qi Hao. Master Mai Taoist Feiyun took over.Among these three veins, apart from Luoxia Peak Feiyun Daoist and Daoxuan Daoist who are of the same generation, they can say a few words in addition to what they said, the leaders of Longshou Peak and Chaoyang Peak's two veins are quite embarrassing.Qi Hao from Longshou Peak was alright, and he was fairly familiar with the teachers, while Chu Yuhong from Chaoyang Peak sat silently at the end and didn't speak from the beginning to the end.

And those heads of the older generation, Tian Buyi of Dazhufeng, Master Shuiyue of Xiaozhufeng, and Zeng Shuchang of Fenghuifeng, have not seen each other for a long time, and most of the heads who quarreled with them on weekdays are gone, so there is a little more in this hall A harmony that was not there before. Behind Master Shuiyue stood Lu Xueqi and Wen Min, who hadn't seen each other for a while, Lu Xueqi's appearance was as clear and beautiful as before, her face was indifferent, but there was a slight chill faintly exuding from her body that wasn't there before. Wen Min is also standing obediently behind Master Shuiyue, but his eyes are not so honest, he looks sideways from time to time, most likely he will see Song Daren standing behind Tian Buyi, Song Daren can't help the corners of his mouth at this moment He kept showing a smile, looking quite simple and honest, Wen Min gave him an angry look, and turned around again.

Beside Tian Buyi, his wife Suru also followed, at the moment she was calling Tian Ling'er who came with Qi Hao to her side, the mother and daughter were talking in a low voice, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they seemed to have a lot to say of. Besides Tian Linger, the one who followed Qi Hao was his junior brother Lin Jingyu. At this moment, he was standing behind, together with Zeng Shushu, the son of Zeng Shuchang, the head of Fenghui Peak. They had experienced the battle of Death Marsh together. It can be regarded as a friendship. This Qingyun gathering is not a formal occasion, and most of the people are relatively relaxed. Even Daoxuan's conversation with Tian Buyi, Zeng Shuchang, Master Shuiyue and others is quite relaxed. There is a smile.

When Fenxianggu Li Xun walked into the Yuqing Palace, what he saw in front of his eyes was such a scene. After a while, his eyes flickered like flames on the Frost woman. Xiao Yicai stepped forward and said to Master Daoxuan: "Master, senior brother Li Xun and Li have arrived." Reverend Daoxuan looked over with a smile, Li Xun walked up to Xiao Yicai, saluted Reverend Daoxuan, and said: "Li Xun, junior of Fenxianggu, pay homage to Reverend Daoxuan." Reverend Daoxuan smiled and said: "Forget it, get up quickly." Li Xun stood up according to his words, and then bowed his hands to the surroundings, saying: "Li Xun, the younger generation, I have met all the senior Qingyun uncles."

Tian Buyi, Zeng Shuchang and others nodded their heads one after another. Daoxuan Daoxuan said: "Your master is alright. I haven't seen you for many years. I don't know how brother Yun is doing. A few days ago I heard that Master Yun suddenly retreated. I was really worried for a while." At this moment Xiao Yicai had walked up to Reverend Daoxuan and stood beside Reverend Daoxuan, upon hearing this, he smiled and said: "Master doesn't know something, I just heard Senior Brother Li say that Senior Yun has already left the seclusion." Reverend Daoxuan was slightly surprised, said "ah", and said to Li Xun, "Really, nephew?"

Li Xun respectfully said: "That's true, the master did leave the customs a few days ago, and specially sent his disciples to pay a visit to the head of Daoxuan, and also a letter, ordering me to forward it to the real person." After saying that, he took it out of his pocket. He wrote out a letter and handed it to Master Daoxuan. Reverend Daoxuan took the letter, pondered for a moment, tore open the seal, took out a thin sheet of paper, and read it carefully from beginning to end, all eyes were on his face, but Reverend Daoxuan's expression remained the same as usual, without any trace No one could see the ups and downs in his mood.

After a while, Master Daoxuan read the letter, slowly put away the letter paper, put it back in the envelope, stroked it in his hand for a moment, and put it on the coffee table at hand.Li Xun carefully looked at Daoxuan Daoxuan, but he couldn't hear the words of the person who is known as the number one righteous person today, so he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. Reverend Daoxuan pondered for a long time, glanced lightly at Master Shuiyue, Master Shuiyue seemed to notice something, and frowned. Reverend Daoxuan withdrew his gaze, coughed, looked at Li Xun who was still standing under his seat, and smiled kindly again on his face, and said with a smile: "Nephew, before you came to Qingyun, did Master Yung tell you anything?" ?"

Li Xun hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists and said: "Master once told me that Daoxuan Daoxuan of the Qingyun sect is a giant of righteousness today. This disciple came to Qingyun to meet the real person. He was about to have a good experience. Before going back to Fenxiang Valley, everything should be obeyed by the real person. That's it." Reverend Daoxuan was stunned, then laughed and said: "You master, you are really cunning, you leave any problems to me." He paused for a moment, then nodded and said: "Well, your master is here The letter also said that within three days at the most, he will also lead the Fenxianggu disciples to the Middle Earth, most likely to my Qingyun Mountain first. Before that, you should temporarily stay in my Qingyun Mountain for a few days. "

Li Xun was overjoyed, and quickly said: "Yes, disciple obeys." Reverend Daoxuan nodded slightly, then seemed to think of something again, turned his head to Lu Xueqi who was standing behind Master Shuiyue, and said, "Xueqi." Lu Xueqi didn't expect Daoxuan Daoxuan to call her suddenly, but she was taken aback, then she stood up and saluted, "Master Master, the disciple is here." Reverend Daoxuan smiled and said: "You and senior brother Li Xun and Li of Fenxianggu are old acquaintances, I remember that you have met many times over the years, how about this, in the past few days, please take him around Qingyun Mountain , don’t lose the way of hospitality.”

Lu Xueqi frowned, and turned her head to look at Master Shuiyue, only to see Master Shuiyue also frowned, looking at Reverend Daoxuan, Reverend Daoxuan looked back at her, with a look of inquiry in his eyes. Master Shuiyue sighed in his heart, and said lightly to Lu Xueqi: "Since the master master ordered to come down, Qi'er, you are familiar with him, so it's better to take him away." The corners of Lu Xueqi's mouth twitched, she slowly lowered her head, and after a while, said in a low voice: "Yes, this disciple respectfully obeys the master's orders."

Li Xun was overjoyed in his heart, but he still kept a smile on his face, and smiled at Lu Xueqi: "It's so thankful, Junior Sister." Lu Xueqi nodded slightly, but there was no other expression. Reverend Daoxuan on the seat nodded with a smile, Zeng Shuchang and Tian Buyi looked here and didn't say anything, but Tian Buyi's wife Suru looked here, frowning slightly. ※※※ This gathering ended after a long time, Tian Buyi took his wife Suru and his disciple Song Daren out of Tongtian Peak Yuqing Hall.Song Daren came out following his master, but couldn't help looking back secretly. This action caught Tian Linger's eyes, and she burst out laughing suddenly. Hearing the laughter, Tian Buyi and Suru both turned their heads, Suru glanced at her daughter and said with a smile: "What are you laughing at?" Tian Ling'er walked up to her mother, took Suru's hand, and glanced at the elder brother, Song Daren had a ghost in his heart, and immediately blushed. Tian Buyi snorted and said, "Pretending to be a ghost, what's wrong?" Tian Ling'er smiled and said: "Father, mother, you should hurry up and help senior brother go to Xiaozhufeng, and ask Uncle Shuiyue to propose marriage, otherwise he will really die of anxiety." Tian Buyi was stunned, but Suru was far more cunning than her husband, and she reacted earlier, and said to Song Daren with a smile: "What, so you already have someone you like, is he a disciple of my Sister Shuiyue Xiaozhu Peak? Come on, follow me Mistress said, I will be the master for you." Song Daren opened his mouth to speak, unexpectedly glanced at Tian Buyi, but couldn't say anything, so he could only lower his head, Suru was startled, and said: "What's wrong with you, Daren?" Tian Ling'er giggled, and said: "Isn't Eldest Senior Brother afraid of Daddy scolding him, I'll make it up for him..." Song Daren was a little nervous, he opened his mouth and said, "Little Junior Sister, you..." Tian Ling'er ignored him, and said to Suru: "Eldest brother is looking at Senior Sister Wen Min who is under the seat of Senior Uncle Shuiyue." Tian Buyi snorted again, with a strange expression on his face, but Suru laughed out loud, and said: "Good boy, you have some sense, that girl Wenmin is really good, but she can't tell what she is thinking , I'm not good either..." Song Daren felt anxious, raised his head and said: "She, she is the same..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Master, Master Mistress and Junior Martial Sister all looking at him, with half-smiles on their faces, embarrassing but unable to speak, had to lower their heads again. Suru shook her head and smiled wryly, "Forget it, forget it, you bastard has learned your master's vision, but why don't you learn his thick skin..." Tian Buyi suddenly coughed and glared at him, but Suru ignored him, and said to Song Daren: "Don't worry, this matter is on my shoulders, as long as the girl is willing, I will always call you It's a wish come true." Song Daren's heart was in full bloom, and his face suddenly became extremely bright, Tian Buyi snorted coldly at the side, and said: "Look at your potential!" Song Daren was startled, quickly put away his smile, and stood behind the master, but he still couldn't hide the smile on his face.Suru smiled and shook her head, pulled her daughter aside, and gave instructions for a while, then she came back, and together with Tian Buyi and Song Daren, she flew up with her sword and went back to the Big Bamboo Peak. The road passed through the clouds and fog, and the wind was fast. After about half an hour, the group of three returned to the Big Bamboo Peak. Tian Buyi didn't speak when he landed, he went straight to Shoujing Hall, Suru turned to Song Daren and said: "Go and rest first, you can rest assured about that." Song Daren couldn't help but smirked a couple more times, saluted quickly, and then strode back. Suru smiled and shook her head, walked slowly back to the Shoujing Hall, saw Tian Buyi sitting on the hall, walked over, said with a smile: "Hey, you have to propose marriage to my Senior Sister Shuiyue by yourself Oh." Tian Buyi snorted, turned his head away, and said: "If you want me to plead with your senior sister in a low voice, I won't go." Suru wasn't angry either, she just smiled and said, "Then you, a big disciple, will be a bachelor for the rest of your life, I don't care." Tian Buyi showed a look of disdain, looked up at the sky, and said, "I don't care about it, anyway, I'm not going to be a bachelor all my life!" Suru couldn't help but burst out laughing again, stretched out her hand and slapped Tian Buyi lightly, said: "Really, I don't care how old I am, I still look so old and dishonest!" Tian Buyi blinked his eyes, but still looked up at the sky, his heart was like a stone, he didn't cry when he saw the coffin, and he didn't look back when he kicked Nanshan. Suru had no choice but to say: "Okay, to be serious, it's not easy for you as a disciple to have someone he likes, and besides, that girl Wenmin is really nice, I like it too. You just need to go to Xiaozhufeng to talk to my Senior Sister Shuiyue , with my help, at most you will be gossiped by her, what's the matter? Since Wen Min has some affection for us Daren, my senior sister will not be unhappy with you at all, It will miss the disciple's life." Tian Buyi grimaced for a while, then said angrily: "I knew the boss was worthless, really, he actually fell in love with the person from Xiaozhufeng, so that at such an old age, the old man still wants to be angry with that woman Shuiyue! " Suru let out a "bah", and said: "I'm also from Xiaozhufeng, why did you take a liking to me back then, seeing how promising you are, now you're actually bringing up old quarrels with me." Tian Buyi slipped his tongue for a moment, became speechless, and resentfully said: "Forget it, forget it, anyway, I've already accepted my fate, a bunch of worthless guys, I'll just go to Xiaozhufeng." Only then did Suru nod and smile, and said, "That's about the same." Said to put this matter aside, walked to the side, only took a few steps, then stopped suddenly, when turned around, his brows were slightly frowned, as if thinking of something, he said to Tian Buyi: "That's right, When you saw that Fenxianggu Li Xun today, did you feel something was wrong afterwards?" Tian Buyi said indifferently: "You mean that the head brother asked Lu Xueqi from Xiaozhu Peak to receive him?" Suru nodded and said, "You also see something is wrong?" Tian Buyi snorted, and said: "There is nothing wrong, if there is really a problem, your senior sister would have rejected it with sneering words, but you can see that she didn't make a sound at all, so it can be seen that at least the senior brother in charge told her about it, Your senior sister also agrees." Suru was startled, then nodded and said: "Well, you're right, I haven't thought of this, but senior sister has always loved this disciple Lu Xueqi the most, how could..." Tian Buyi said coldly: "Is that Li Xun very bad? In her eyes, she is probably much better than our disciples." Suru said in surprise: "Alright, why did you get involved in this?" The corner of Tian Buyi's mouth twitched, and he said casually: "That stormy night on Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea, I punished Lao Qi, she was not..." When he said this, he suddenly came to his senses and stopped talking, but for some reason, he shook his head, sigh. Suru frowned and said, "The more you talk, the more strange it becomes, unexpectedly even Xiaofan is involved, what's going on?" Tian Buyi seemed to lose interest suddenly, lost energy, shook his head and said, "Don't ask." Suru knew her husband's temper, so she kept her mouth shut, but this time her mind was suddenly touched, she couldn't help but sighed, and said, "It's been ten years, and I don't know how Xiaofan is doing now?" Tian Buyi was silent for a long time, stood up slowly, and said coldly: "Didn't you hear that he is now the deputy suzerain of the Ghost King Sect, changed his name to Ghost Li, and is known as Master Blood, he is very powerful!" Suru lowered her head, sat down slowly on the chair next to her, and said in a low voice for a long time: "Well, when he first came to our door, although he looked a bit stupid, but..." She didn't say any more, and remained silent for a long time , and softly said: "What a good child, he was very filial and respectful to you and me, but now... he ended up being kicked out of the gate!" Anger flashed across Tian Buyi's face, and he suddenly said loudly: "If they want to be expelled, they will be expelled. I didn't say that I would expel this apprentice..." Suru stood up suddenly, interrupted her husband's words, and shouted: "It's not easy!" Tian Buyi glanced at his wife, stopped talking, and kept silent, but the expression on his face became more indignant, he stomped his feet suddenly, let out a heavy "ah", and strode into the back of the Shoujing Hall. Suru looked at her husband's back silently, then sighed quietly, turned around, and looked out. Looking from the gate of the Shoujing Hall, the warm sun shone warmly on the Big Bamboo Peak. In the distance, there was a faintly secluded kitchen, with a corner of the eaves exposed behind the tree shadows. The house is still there, but the people are gone. Suru watched silently for a while, shook her head, turned around and walked into the back hall of the Shoujing Hall. ※※※ The night is approaching, the clouds are layered, and the pressure is very low, and it is a little breathless to watch. In this case, there were no stars and no moon, and at the foot of the barren mountain, there was only a bonfire on a leeward slope. Zhou Yixian and his party, with the newly joined Ghost Li and the monkey Xiaohui, walked along the ancient road. On this day, they arrived at the foot of Kongsang Mountain. It was getting late, so they built a fire in this leeward place, and prepared to go out in the wild. Sleeping rough. Although he was used to these things after being away all year round, once Zhou Yixian sat down, he still cried out in pain and kept beating his back with his hands, as if he was about to break his waist from exhaustion.Helplessly, the others ignored him. After barking for a while, it was unavoidably boring, and slowly stopped. Xiaohuan squatted beside the fire, put his hands on the fire to keep warm, while the wild dog Taoist put down the Ghost Li and many packages on his back, walked to the side of the fire, and only then gasped for breath.Among the group, the monkey Xiaohui was the most energetic, as soon as he landed on the ground, he looked around and jumped back and forth. After Xiaohuan decided to take Ghost Li away, Ghost Li was so intoxicated for a long time, occasionally woke up, looked at the people around him, but turned a blind eye to them, summoned Xiao Hui, and opened the wine bag on its back He kept drinking, and after a while, he passed out again, really drunk. Along the way, besides the package, Daoist Wild Dog had another task of carrying Ghost Li on his back, and most likely the monkey Xiao Hui would jump on Ghost Li. Can't hold it down. Taoist Wild Dog panted for a long time this time, looked around, and saw Zhou Yixian mumbling for a long time, probably tired this time, lying on the side and sleeping with his clothes on, while Xiaohuan was lying not far from the fire The place. As for Ghost Li who was sleeping, because Daoist Wild Dog intentionally or unintentionally put him in a far away place, the fire light couldn't reach there, only a vague shadow appeared, and the three-legged dog beside him The eyed monkey, at this time, didn't know where it went, most likely ran away to find some wild fruit to eat, along the way, Xiao Hui often did this. The wild dog sat silently in front of the fire, the surroundings gradually became quiet, Zhou Xian's snoring sounded slowly, Xiaohuan's body rose and fell slightly, and it seemed that he had fallen asleep. The firelight reflected on the wild dog's face, making his expression cloudy and uncertain, and reflecting the light in his eyes. After a while, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the tall and precipitous Kongsang Mountain in the dark night, where the rocks were as abrupt as night ghosts with teeth and claws. It was originally the holy place of his blood refining hall.But at this time, the Blood Refining Hall had long been wiped out, leaving only him like a lonely ghost. He turned his head slowly, and the man who was sleeping in the shadow of the night was lying motionless in the distance. Daoist Wild Dog took a deep breath, subconsciously stretched his hands to his waist, and grabbed his animal tooth magic weapon. Then, he got up slowly, and walked towards Ghost Li, the firelight shone on his back, stretching his shadow longer and longer, gradually covering Ghost Li lying on the ground. The next moment, he stood in front of Gui Li.
