Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Lingzhou Chapter 117 The End (I)
Xu Yan didn't care about Zhao Bailian's ridicule, in fact, in addition to facing the cardinal, he would face it as the identity of the Xujia Village, basically when facing other people, he had to get along with the far-reaching and sharp thinking he once had, even if it was Zhao Bailian in front of him.
Xu Yan smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I won't go to her for trouble, the matter is already over, isn't it? Besides, I shouldn't have any intersection with her in the future." ”
When Zhao Bailian heard this, she didn't choose to hide it, and replied bluntly: "It's hard to say. ”
Sensing that Zhao Bailian said this, she was a little weak-hearted, Xu Yan thought about it, and she had already reacted, and asked, "Could it be that the master ......?"
Zhao Bailian was weakened by his eyes, and spread her hands and replied: "There is no way, I can only give up a place and let her go to Yong'an City together." ”
Xu Yan's face immediately sank, but then he shook his head helplessly, this matter was only Zhao Bailian's own choice after all, and it had nothing to do with him, so he changed the topic and said, "What is the master going to do next?"
Hearing the meaning of Xu Yan's mouth, Zhao Bailian's face instantly became grim, and in the end, he still sighed and said: "Let's send you to the Seven Star Pier to cultivate first, although it seems that it is still very early in February next year, but in fact, this way to the north is quite far, and it is impossible to walk step by step with only two feet, so there is not enough time to walk." And after sending you up, it is natural to let the people who should abdicate first, as for those chess pieces that are still in the shadows, they can only choose to clean them slowly, otherwise if they are too big and want to kill them all at once, it will inevitably make the sect hurt their muscles and bones, and then the two sects will take advantage of the opportunity to enter and jointly attack the mountain, which will outweigh the losses. ”
When Xu Yan heard this, he just nodded and didn't say anything.
Similar to this kind of sect matter, he just asked casually, and he couldn't do anything about it, but after listening to the latter's analysis, he could also see that in Zhao Bailian's heart, it was obvious that everything had been formulated. However, he suddenly remembered that Zhou Xian had already defected to the Lotus Sect, so the quota he had won before would naturally be invalidated.
Therefore, after Xu Yan hesitated for a moment, he still asked, "I don't know if there is someone in the master's heart to replace Zhou Xian's place?"
Zhao Bailian turned her head to look at him and replied, "I don't have time to think about this, what's the matter, do you have a recommended candidate in mind?"
Xu Yan pondered for a moment before replying: "Well, I think this quota can be given to Senior Sister Gu of the Chunzi Sect." ”
Zhao Bailian didn't pay much attention to this kind of trivial matter, so she replied bluntly: "Well, then this matter is up to you, and tomorrow morning, I will send the three of you to the Seven Star Pier." ”
......
About ten miles after leaving from the thirty-two Little Lotus Peaks of the Lotus Sect, there is a rare four-way junction, which is the transition point into the mountains of the Hundred Mountains Ancestors, but only one of the junctions can directly lead to the secular town, and the remaining three are all intersections leading to different mountains.
One leads to Fengyang Mountain, where the Chenyang Sect of the Martial Cultivation Sect is located, the other leads to the Qingxuan Mountain where the Yunlan Sect of the Sword Cultivation Sect is located, and the last one leads to the Feiyan Ridge of the White Crane Sword Village of the Sword Cultivation Sect.
At this moment, on the fork in this spacious open space, there are five people who have left the Lotus Sect and arrived here, there is no doubt that it is Wu Shixing and Ye Jiawen and others, but after arriving here, it means that they are about to part ways and return to their respective sects.
Ye Jiawen hugged his fists at Wu Shixing and said: "Brother Wu, you have traveled all the way here, it is time to separate, and the next thing, if Ye is in need, I will bother you to help come forward and say a word or two." ”
Wu Shixing naturally knew what he was talking about, so he smiled and saluted: "This is natural, Brother Ye, please rest assured, you only need to send a letter at that time, and Wu will definitely rush to your sect as soon as possible." ”
Ye Jiawen was confirmed by the other party, and felt a lot more relaxed, nodded and replied: "This is very good, then Ye will leave first, by the way, Brother Wu's previous suggestion, after Ye goes back, he will definitely consider it carefully." ”
Wu Shixing replied with a smile: "Then wait for Brother Ye's good news." ”
Watching Ye Jiawen and Zhou Xian gradually move away from the mountain road, Zuo Luo, who was Wu Shixing's right arm, spoke: "Sect Master, do you really want to recruit that Ye Jiawen?" As far as I know, although this person has already entered the upper three realms, it is said that his breakthrough realm is completely based on pills, and the cultivation of the seven-story building seems to be the limit that he can achieve in this life. ”
When Wu Shixing heard this, the smile on his face was still there, and he said slowly: "Of course I know this, but what I value is not his personal strength, if you want to talk about real masters, how can my Wu family be missing?"
When Zuo Zhen heard this, even some foxes asked, "Why is the sect master so insistent on recruiting him?"
Wu Shixing did not hide his henchmen, and while walking towards his own sect Fengyang Mountain, he replied: " Because although Ye Jiawen is average in personal strength, his overall planning and management ability is quite good, you know, over the years, the Zhou family has only provided him with a certain economic foundation, and there is no help in other aspects, however, Yunlan Sect has developed to this extent, and the credit for this is undoubtedly from him Ye Jiawen alone, and now, since our Chenyang Sect has made up its mind to create a line of sword cultivation, then when there is bound to be a conflict between him and the Zhou family, it is not the right time to throw an olive branch to him?”
"But the Zhou family has treated him well over the years, and the sect master just invited him with words, so he may not really come, right?"
Wu Shixing replied in a calm tone: "Naturally, it doesn't stop there, I have already promised him, if he is willing to come to my Chenyang Sect, I will at least promise to give him the position of a Supreme Elder, and give him full authority to take charge of the cultivation of sword cultivation, and at the same time, I will also use the power of the Wu family to protect the safety of his Ye family's disciples." ”
Hearing this series of benefits, Zuo Luo suddenly understood, it turned out that Wu Shixing had already put so much effort into this matter, but before he could reply, Wu Shixing, who was on the side, suddenly changed his face, and said to him in a stern tone: "Zuo Luo, you take Hao'er back to the sect first, I have to go out." ”
As soon as the words fell, Wu Shixing's whole person instantly burst into action on the spot, and Yukong left.
......
After Wu Shixing and the three of them also left from the four forks, the four people from Baihe Jianzhuang also came here not long after, but Bai Haijing, who was walking in the forefront, did not walk in the direction of Feiyanling, but turned to her daughter Bai Yulin and said coldly: "You take Bing'er and Jing'er to the direction of the sect first, and I will go back when I go." ”
Hearing what the other party said, Bai Yulin was so clever and intelligent, she naturally guessed the other party's intentions, but in the end, after she opened her mouth, she still did not dissuade her, because after Cai Zhenjing came back alive and explained to them the specific experience of the disciples of the White Crane Sword Village in the spring hunt, they knew that behind the collusion between the Yunlan Sect and the Chenyang Sect, they had also done so many dirty things to the disciples in their own sect.
When he heard those experiences, not to mention that Bai Haijing, who had always had a violent temper, was unbearable, but Bai Yulin, who had always been virtuous and rational in ordinary times, turned pale with anger, because that kind of behavior, whether for women in the world or on the moral level, was a heinous act, and it was an evil act worse than that of animals.
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Bai Yulin finally did not choose to stop it, but just replied: "Well, my daughter knows, my mother should be careful." ”
......
Zhou Xian came out of the Lotus Sect and followed behind Ye Jiawen tremblingly, silent, until the huge building that looked unusually majestic and majestic on the top of Qingxuan Mountain was finally in sight, and the high vigilance in his heart calmed down slightly.
Seeing that Ye Jiawen was silent all the time, Zhou Xian took the lead in speaking: "Why didn't Uncle Ye rescue my uncle from the Lotus Sect together? If you can save my life and my uncle's life, my Zhou family's gratitude to you will undoubtedly increase by another point, and even if it is the failure of this spring hunt, it may not be possible to offset the merits." ”
Ye Jiawen didn't know the personality and character of the young man behind him, and he could occasionally hear the news of the other party, or from his original disciple Zhou Yu usually communicated with the latter through Xinluan, but it didn't seem to be good news, so Ye Jiawen's impression of Zhou Xian was definitely not very good.
Of course, he didn't care about Zhou Xian, because he only cared about Zhou Yu. But it's a pity that his so-called personal disciple Zhou Yu has died tragically in this spring hunt, although the responsibility for this has nothing to do with him, but since he even lost the spring hunt that he was fully responsible for, then if the Zhou family wants to make trouble with Zhou Yu again, there is no excuse for the crime.
Ye Jiawen was silent for a moment before he replied truthfully: "I can ensure that the third young man can get out of the Lotus Sect safely, which is already the limit of what I can do, how can I have the strength to take your uncle away?"
When Zhou Xian heard this, he immediately said disapprerovingly: "Uncle Ye is inevitably too modest, everyone is Zhao Bailian is gentle by nature, if you really want someone with him, he won't dare to let it go." ”
When Ye Jiawen heard this, he suddenly sneered in his heart, but on his face, there was still no emotional change, he just replied calmly: "It seems that Sanshao really doesn't know your former sect master at all. ”
Zhou Xian heard the sarcasm in his words, and immediately snorted coldly.
Ye Jiawen's identity, as the future heir of the Zhou family, he naturally has the right to know, in his opinion, the other party is just a high-level watchdog raised by the Zhou family, and the former is originally from his second brother's side, so he naturally doesn't have to stick to the former's cold ass.
The most important thing is that the watchdog in front of him not only lost the crucial spring hunting, but also put the only second brother who threatened him to inherit the position of the head of the family into the spring hunting list, which eventually led to the latter's tragic death in the mountains.
Although he had the opportunity to leave with his second brother at that time, after some consideration, he still chose to let the latter stay where he was and wait for death.
Zhou Xian looked at Ye Jiawen in front of him with resentment in his eyes, and couldn't help but think in his heart, when the people of his own family came to Yunlan Sect Xingshi to ask for guilt, they would definitely take a good look at the other party, so that the other party would completely lose this position.
However, before he could think more, Ye Jiawen in front of him suddenly turned around, and then grabbed the collar and threw it away in the distance.
Zhou Xian, who felt this scene, hated it in his heart, and was about to scold the other party angrily, "The old thief dares to kill me", but before he could speak, at the same time as he flew out upside down, he saw a sword qi dozens of zhang long in mid-air, which smashed into his original position.
"Boom" with a loud bang!
Although the huge sword qi finally slashed into the air, it caused a shocking huge ravine to appear on the entire mountain road.
Seeing that her sneak attack sword missed, it was Bai Haijing, who was quickly chasing from behind, her face immediately sank, but she did not stop at all, and immediately swung out a volley sword.
This sword was no longer aimed at Zhou Xian, but slashed straight at Ye Jiawen, Bai Haijing knew very well that when Ye Jiawen, who was also in the upper three realms, was already on guard, it was impossible for her to kill Zhou Xian in front of him, so she had to repel him first and then kill Zhou Xian.
Seeing that the other party was targeting him this time, Ye Jiawen was horrified, but he didn't forget to immediately pull out his sword, and said loudly, "Master Baizhuang, are you going to openly make enemies of my Yunlan Sect?"
As everyone knows, Bai Haijing didn't bother to answer him at all.
A powerful sword qi that was more than twice as strong as before, slashed down from the sky again, really like a rainbow that rises when the sky is clear after the rain, connecting the earth from the sky.
Ye Jiawen couldn't say anything about the bitterness in his heart, so he could only passively use a sword to meet him in a hurry, but then, he saw that his sword qi was split into pieces by the other party before it really exerted its power.
A surging wave did not stop at all, and rushed to Ye Jiawen on the ground again.
"Boom"!
Ye Jiawen's body was blasted upside down like a cannonball.
Ye Jiawen, who was also a seven-story kendo cultivator, relied on the pills to come up, but in the end, he was completely defeated in front of Bai Haijing, unable to take a single move.
Bai Haijing looked at Zhou Xian and Ye Jiawen, who all fell to the ground, her face was like frost, she didn't spit out a word, and raised the sword of green plums in her hand again.
Ruthless Sword Duel, Third Style!
With this sword, Bai Haijing is bound to ambush the two people on the ground.
When Ye Jiawen and Zhou Xian saw this sword, the former only had endless sorrow in their hearts, while the latter was like ashes. But just as the sword qi was about to approach them, a giant palm appeared out of thin air in mid-air, intercepting Bai Haijing's sword qi.
Seeing this scene, Bai Haijing shouted coldly: "Wu Shixing, I didn't go to you to settle the account, but you came to the door by yourself." ”
Wu Shixing, who caught up at the last moment, heard this, and replied with a sneer on his face: "Lord Bai Zhuang has such a big temper, the spring hunt has ended, why are you still chattering so much, don't forget, in the end, when deciding the winner, we voted for you with a clear conscience, even if there were some misunderstandings between us and your sect before, but it was enough to cancel each other out." ”
Seeing that he was so brazen, Bai Haijing looked furious, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense at all, so he directly slashed at him again.
Wu Shixing, who was also in mid-air, saw that she was so ignorant, and he also raised a little anger, and immediately, he immediately controlled the two martial arts true qi in his body to gather on his fists and blasted out towards Bai Haijing.
There was another earth-shattering bang.
A powerful wave of air exploded in all directions from mid-air.
The next moment, Bai Haijing, who was wearing a dark green dress, was directly blown out in mid-air.
Bai Haijing, who swept out nearly a hundred zhang before forcibly stopping her body, her face was snow-white, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding, she didn't expect that Wu Shixing's cultivation was so profound, and it was even higher than her, so she didn't fight again, and only left a sentence of "This matter is not over", and then turned into a streamer and quickly disappeared from the air.
Wu Shixing watched her retreat in defeat, and did not choose to pursue, but a trace of gloom flashed on his resolute face.
......
Time flies, and the time of the day passes quietly.
The twilight is getting deeper, and the stars in the night sky are gradually brightening, and after the moon and a half, the bright moon in the sky is no longer as full as fifteen or sixteen, but gradually turns into a half moon, but even so, the night tonight is still very dreamy and beautiful.
On the Little Lotus Peak of the Autumn Character Sect, Feng Yuanshan, who was already old-looking, had just finished dinner at this time, for a sword cultivator like him who could not enter the upper three realms in this life, he was destined to be unable to get rid of the grains and grains necessary for the people in the market in this life, and this became not only the greatest luck in his life, but also the biggest regret in his cultivation path.
And after dinner, he came to the courtyard as usual to rest for a while, watch the night, and enjoy this rare quiet, but today, it is extremely rare for him to let the disciples below make him a pot of tea, and also left two cups.
The tea is the best tea before the Ming Dynasty, but the tea does not come from the territory of Lingzhou, but from the unique Wanghai tea in Zhongzhou.
This tea is also very valuable, because it is said that two tea trees have grown in the entire Goshu continent. Although the two ancient tea trees have grown for hundreds of years so far, and they have been tended and managed by others, their number is still too small after all, so many dignitaries and dignitaries who work in Yong'an City do not have this taste of it.
Feng Yuanshan himself doesn't like to taste tea much, so for him, Wanghai tea is actually not much different from the wild green in the mountains, it is just an ordinary thing to relieve dry mouth. However, when he thought about the situation he was about to face, he could feel that there were not many opportunities to drink tea like he was now.
And just after he finished drinking a cup of tea, he didn't even have time to add a second cup to himself, and sure enough, a slender figure quietly appeared in front of him.
