When Lin Hu stood at the door, Huan Zong already knew that he had arrived. Seeing that Konghou was in a low mood, he turned to face Lin Hu: "What's the matter?" With Lin Hu's character, if he didn't report something, he would not appear here.
"Senior Lin?" The appearance of Lin Dendrobium really caused Konghou to divert her attention. She turned to look at Lin Dendrobium with curiosity in her eyes.
Seeing that they finally noticed him, Lin Hu stepped over the threshold: "Sir, Liu Yanmen has cancelled the status of Bian Hongzhang's top disciple, and has announced to the entire cultivation world."
"Cancel?" Huan Zong took out the handkerchief and put it on Konghou's hand. The soft and white handkerchief looked like a cloud. Konghou held the handkerchief and did not understand Huanzong's intention.
"Here." Huan Zong chuckled softly and compared his neck, "There is sweat here."
"Oh." Konghou squeezed the handkerchief tightly and wiped it around his neck. The soft handkerchief touched the skin and was very comfortable, like a mother's gentleness, which made her slow down unconsciously.
Huan Zong turned to look at Lin Hu: "Have you checked the identity of the female cultivator in green?"
"Not yet, but my disciples found that a female corpse was found in the ancestral home of the female cultivator in green." Lin Hu glanced at Konghou, who was holding a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, "In addition, I was in the inn with Miss Konghou a few days ago. In the hall, I found an elderly male cultivator with strange words and deeds. When he was leaving, I put a scent on him. Last night, I found that he had contacts with the sly cultivator. I suspected that he was deliberately provoking the sect and the The relationship between the small sects."
Confused female cultivator, strange and provocative passer-by cultivator, this is only what they have met. I don't know how many similar conspiracies are targeting the cultivation world where they can't see it
Evil cultivators are best at bewitching people, but as the internal management of the sects in the cultivation world becomes more and more strict, there have been fewer and fewer quarrels between disciples fighting for cultivation resources. Life has been stable for a long time, and there will always be people with ulterior motives who try to overthrow the existing order and compete for a high position after the chaos in the world.
If Miss Konghou hadn't gone out to watch the fun yesterday, had not stopped Liu Yanmen and Qingyumen from facing each other with swords, and had not refuted the old monk, what would have happened
The hatred between Liu Yanmen and Qingyumen deepened, and they no longer communicated with each other. They also involved other sects that were friendly with them, making the world of comprehension a mess? Ordinary monks are more and more afraid of the ten major sects, and finally they may have the idea that only by overthrowing the ten major sects can ordinary monks come forward.
At that time, the famous sect was caught in a civil war, and the chaos became a mess, and it was just around the corner for evil cultivators to occupy the cultivation world.
This was the first time Lin Hu had the idea that watching the fun could also play a big role. He turned to look at the girl who was still looking in the mirror, and let out a long sigh of relief. In any case, you can prepare early if you find the signs of things, and now it's too late.
"Tomorrow is the day to go to Wuming Zhenren to get the medicine pill, right?" Konghou put down the small mirror, "Should we prepare some gifts for Wuming Zhenren, so that if we have contacts, we will be embarrassed to let him continue to help in the future."
Huan Zong is not in good health now, so there is no harm in making more friends with the alchemy master.
"Thank you Miss Konghou for reminding me, I'll prepare now." Lin Hu, who was usually not emotional, looked at Konghou with a bit of warmth in his eyes today. He nodded to Konghou and left the refining room.
"Huanzong..." Konghou looked at Lin Hu's leaving back, a little puzzled, "Senior Lin, what happened to you today?"
"Maybe he doesn't like that Liu Yanmen's Bian Hong. He is in a better mood when he hears that he has lost his status as the chief disciple." Huan Zong said, "Don't worry about it."
"Oh." Kong Hou nodded. He didn't expect Senior Lin to hate Bian Hong so much. It seems that Senior is also a person who likes and hates clearly.
On Yunhua Mountain, as soon as the sky was bright, several female disciples stood at the gate waiting eagerly, as if they were waiting for some important person. Some new disciples saw this scene, and they all wondered, could it be that there are elders from other sects visiting? Why are only the sisters and uncles waiting here, what about the other brothers and sisters
Gao Jianyan pulled on the belt that had been tightened a lot recently. Before leaving home, his family worried that he would not be used to living in the sect and would lose weight due to hard work. He also specially prepared a few sets of small-sized clothes. Who knew that Yunhuamen's food was so good, not only was he not thin, but he had gained a lot of weight, and most of the clothes he brought from home could no longer be worn.
"Junior Brother Gao, there are several direct disciples there." A colleague tugged at his sleeve, "I suspect that when we recruit direct disciples in Yunhuamen, we should not only look at talent and character, but also face, look at these seniors. , all of them look as beautiful as flowers, and they are delicious."
Gao Jianyan stopped and glanced at the door secretly. Touching his face as round as a silver basin, he sighed deeply, it seemed that he would never have the chance to become a direct disciple in his life.
"Why are there so many directly passed down senior sisters here, is there something important happening?" Most of the new disciples have just entered the threshold of qi refining, but they have already learned the habit of watching the lively from the senior brothers and sisters. Seeing so many beautiful senior sisters, These new disciples, male or female, all huddled in the corner and looked secretly.
Guilin, who was with them, looked at their sneaky appearance, raised his feet impatiently and walked away, but before he took a few steps, he was dragged back by a petite but strong junior sister: "Guilin, you Don't go out, what should I do if my seniors find out?!"
Returning, who was pressed against the wall, struggled... but didn't break free. What exactly did this woman eat to grow up, looking at her small nose and small hands and feet, why is she so strong
"What's there to look at? Yesterday, Bishop Pei Feng taught a new set of swordsmanship, and I haven't mastered it yet." Returning, who gave up the struggle, decided to persuade him, "Junior sister, let go."
What's wrong with a woman who can watch other women with such relish.
"How can a pretty little senior sister look good in swordsmanship." The charming little junior sister held him down and didn't let go. "Seeing the senior sister can make me feel good, and I can practice sword well when I am in a good mood. It's twice the result with half the effort."
Gui Lin took care of the robes on his body that had been pulled crooked by the younger sister: "It's just that there are other elders from the sect visiting, what's so beautiful?"
"Wrong, besides the elders, there is another kind of person who can make so many beautiful senior sisters appear together." Gao Jianyan shook his chubby head, "You still know too little."
"What else?" The fellow asked curiously.
"And..." Gao Jianyan pointed to the person who came from afar with a sword, "There is also the ubiquitous and ubiquitous flying sword messenger."
Guilin really wanted to say that Gao Jianyan was talking nonsense, but when he saw those senior sisters who passed on from him happily surrounded the Feijian messenger, took a storage bag from him, left contentedly, and fell silent.
He turned his head to look at the long door below the door, and asked Xianlu, who could not see the end, and his body swayed slightly.
"Let's go, let's go and practice swords." The pretty little junior sister let go and ran to the martial arts arena. When she raised her head again, all her classmates ran away, even Gao Lin stumbled. The fat man in Jian Yan was round like a ball.
"Hey, why haven't you left yet?!" Gao Jianyan, who had run for a distance, looked back and saw Guilin still standing there, ran back and grabbed him and ran, "Go, go, go."
Gui Lian was being held by the fat man whose pace was more agile than him, and he ran unconsciously with his legs.
"Why are you so stupid, you have to retreat in time after watching the excitement, otherwise you will be easily caught." Gao Jianyan supported Guilin and walked vigorously, "You are too weak, I told you not to be picky eaters, but you are Don't listen. Look, even the youngest junior sister can't escape."
Looking at the little junior sister who ran to the front and pressed him just now to make him unable to move, Guilin suddenly began to doubt his life. Why is he here, why is he in this gang
Heng Yan sat on the lazy man's bed covered with thick cushions, and read the letter sent by Konghou several times. Among the medicinal materials that Konghou asked about, Yunhuamen actually had one of them.
Wu Chuan sat quietly at the table next to him, checking the report books from each branch, not even looking at Heng Yan who was flipping over the letter.
"Wuchuan, is there a box of mermaid scales in the warehouse of the sect?" Heng Yan handed the letter to Wuchuan, "Konghou is the most talented disciple in your generation, waiting for you to become a sect. Lord, her cultivation has also come up. If at that time, she finds that there are medicinal materials she asked about in the sect, will she blame us?"
"Master." Wu Chuan looked up at him, "In the past ten years, nearly twenty monks have sent letters to ask you if you have mermaid scales, and you will answer all of them." Besides, Junior Sister Konghou will not blame Zongmen for outsiders. , even if she knows later, she will only think that the sect has difficulties, rather than resentment against the sect.
"When an outsider asks, is it the same as asking my own family?" Heng Yan coughed dryly, "Anyway, we have a big box, so it doesn't matter if we go out in a few pieces."
Wu Chuan nodded: "So what you mean is that you want everyone to believe that you accidentally picked up a few pieces of mermaid scales on the road, and then generously gave it to a friend of Junior Sister Konghou, and this friend also happened to be the Liuguang Sect. disciple?"
Heng Yan coughed: "We can tell them not to spread rumors, the people from the Glazed Light Sect will not say it, and Konghou will not say it, who knows that we have mermaid scales?" He still understands the truth of Caibubaibai. If people from other sects needed this, he would still answer no. However, the people from the Glazed Light Sect were different. These sword cultivators made heavy promises and would never disclose this matter.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this is the first time that Konghou has asked Zongmen for help after entering Yunhuamen. If the sect doesn't have it, it's fine. He obviously has it but doesn't give it, and he always feels sorry for it.
The mermaid scale is a rare thing, and it has little practical use. That big box full of mermaid scales had been in the Zongmen's warehouse for thousands of years, and it didn't have a chance to come in handy. Just taking a few pieces out and giving them away was really not a big deal for Yunhuamen. He was reluctant to take it out before, because he didn't want to cause trouble, and some things were not easy to end when they started.
Heng Yan thought for a while, and decided to send a letter to Konghou. Let her pay attention to safety outside and keep practicing. She also said that Zongmen just got a few pieces of mermaid scales recently, and since her friend needed it, she used it. It's just that shark scales are rare in the world, and you must not talk about this to the outside world, so as not to cause trouble.
After taking three merman scales and putting them in a luxurious jade box, Heng Yan handed the box and letter to Wu Chuan: "Find an expedited flying sword messenger and send the items back."
"Yes." Wu Chuan took the letter and the jade box and hurriedly left the sect.
I am afraid that the entire cultivation world will not believe that the rare mermaid scales in the world will be sent to another person's hands.
In the middle of the night, Huan Zong was about to extinguish the lighting magic weapon in the house. He heard footsteps of varying severity in the yard. Is this an ordinary person without cultivation
"Miss Konghou, there is a flying sword messenger to meet."
Huan Zong frowned, it's so late, how come there are still flying sword messengers? Hearing the door next door opened, and the light footsteps unique to Konghou resounded in the yard, he hesitated for a moment, and then opened the door.
At the entrance of the courtyard, behind the inn clerk stood the famous Feijian messenger, and Konghou took a tightly bundled package from him.
"Thank you." Konghou sent his man and the Feijian messenger away, closed the courtyard door, and turned around to see Huan Zong standing under the tree in the courtyard.
"I'm disturbing you?" Kong Hou opened the blue printed cloth outside the package. It was a very ordinary piece of cloth, with no runes and no formation blessing. Inside the package was a jade box with a letter on it.
"It's a letter from the sect master." Konghou was overjoyed, raised his head and said to Huan Zong, "Huan Zong, the sect master must know something related to Yaoyin."
Huan Zong stood quietly under the tree and smiled at Konghou.
Kong Hou couldn't wait to open the letter and read the contents of the letter at a glance, shaking his hands to hold the jade box on the table, and murmured, "Huanzong, Huanzong..."
"What happened?" Huan Zong saw that Konghou couldn't say a word, and his hand holding the jade box kept shaking, thinking that something had happened to Yunhuamen, so he approached him worriedly: "Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly. "
"Young Master, what's the matter?" Lin Hu opened the door and strode out, with an imperceptible look of concern in his eyes.
"No no no..." Konghou said several nos in a row, pointing to the jade box, "Inside, inside, Yaoyin."
"You said that there is a medicinal guide that the young master needs?" Lin Hu was the first to react. He took the jade box from Konghou's hand in disbelief and opened the lid of the box.
The jade box is covered with gorgeous brocade, and the brocade exudes a faint streamer in the night. But it wasn't the box that prevented Lin Hu from looking away, but the things on the brocade.
Three blue scales the size of a jade coin lay quietly, so beautiful that they were not flawed.
Mermaid Scales... Mermaid Scales...
He suddenly raised his head to look at Huan Zong, his lips moved, and after a while he said in a hoarse voice, "Young Master, it's... a mermaid scale."
"Shh." Konghou let out a low hiss, pulled the two of them into the house, and set up a barrier outside before saying, "The sect master said that this matter must not be shared, we have to keep a low profile."
"Please, Miss Konghou, even if Lin Hu dies, she will not spread the matter out." Lin Hu cupped his hands and bowed deeply to Konghou, "The kindness of Miss Konghou and your sect will be unforgettable."
Frightened by Lin Hu's solemn attitude, he hid behind Huan Zong: "Senior Lin, what are you doing?"
Lin Hu stood up and saw that Konghou was frightened by his actions. He took a few steps back and said, "I'm too excited."
"Don't call yourself a subordinate in front of me, I'm not used to it." Kong Hou felt a little embarrassed. She wasn't too polite in front of Senior Lin these days. In her eyes, Lin Hu was similar to the elders in the sect. Now this elder is "under" in front of her, how can she get used to this.
"Konghou." Huan Zong, who was standing in front of Konghou, turned around and put the jade box back into Konghou's hands: "Do you know how precious the merman scales are?" When he was alive, he lived in the bottom of the sea all the year round, and hardly had contact with the outside world, so even the Glazed Light Sect, which had been passed down for nearly 10,000 years, would have long since lost its merman scales.
He never thought that Yunhuamen would give such a precious thing to Konghou, but in any case, he couldn't take this precious medicinal material from the girl so easily.
"It is precious when it is needed. If it is not needed, it is just a dead thing that is useless there." Konghou returned the jade box to Huanzong, "Huanzong, since the head has decided to put this Giving it to me means that he has promised me to give it to you. Anyway, the head is smarter than me, and things he agrees with will definitely not be a problem. "
He had heard from a long time ago that Yunhuamen cares deeply for the younger generation, and Yunhuamen disciples are very loyal to their sects, but how can a sect dote on their disciples to such an extent
Seeing that Huanzong was still unwilling to accept it, Konghou said, "I don't intend to take it back when I gave it away. If you feel bad about it, just think I'm using this to please Liuguangzong and make you owe our Yunhuamen a favor. already."
"Okay." Huan Zong put away the jade box, "I have written down this favor of Sect Master Hengyan."
"That's right." Konghou smiled, "People who are sick don't think about it so much, it's not good for your health. Go to rest early, and tomorrow I'll accompany you to go to Wumingren to get medicine."
Only then did Huan Zong and Lin Hu remember that the two big men were still in the little girl's room in the middle of the night, so they had to leave her room under Konghou's smiling face.
Withdrawing the barrier outside the door, Konghou waved his hand: "Have a good dream."
Watching the door close, Lin Hu and Huan Zong looked at each other, I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep tonight. Following Huan Zong to the room, out of caution, Lin Hu also set up a barrier outside to prevent others from hearing their conversation.
Huanzong took out the jade box in his sleeve, and took out a piece of merman scales, the pale blue scales glowed blue at his fingertips, very beautiful, "Lin Hu, you are right, I took advantage of the little girl."
"Young Master..." Lin Hu didn't know what to say for a while, and he walked along the way. At first, he just regarded Konghou as a lovable little girl who needed to be taken care of, but he never thought that the entire Liuguang Sect had been searching for several years. For the medicinal herbs that were not traceable, they found two flavors in just one month after they met Konghou.
A year ago, the Sect Master wrote a letter to Yunhuamen, and Yunhuamen answered no, but today he didn't ask for anything, so he sent the shark scales out. He had never understood the sect of Yunhuamen. Whenever he thought that their sect was about to decline, there would be a few extremely talented disciples. Whenever he thought that this sect was unreliable, and encountered major events, they were often very reliable.
But... It's really hard to believe how cautious it is for the sect that easily sends the mermaid scales away.
But this kind of carelessness, stupidity and generosity made Lin Hu feel infinite gratitude and respect for Yunhuamen. How many sects are there in the entire cultivation world
Looking down on external things and focusing on the friendship of disciples within the sect, is this not seeing through? Lin Dendur exhaled a long breath. His long-held state of mind was a little touched, and he faintly glimpsed the door to the out-of-body stage.
"Master, from today onwards, you have to take good care of your body." Lin Hu said in a good mood, "After all, Miss Konghou has saved your life for you, and you will repay her in the future."
Huan Zong put away the shark scales: "You are in a good mood today, and you have the mind to tease me."
"Master, I'm not joking, but telling the truth." Lin Hu showed a smile on his face, "And seeing that there is hope for your son's disease to be cured, how can I be in a bad mood?"
Huan Zong smiled lightly, his pale face seemed to have a few strands of vitality. He was about to speak, when suddenly there was a thunderclap in the sky, and the spiritual energy in the yard surged, causing a powerful spiritual pressure.
"Crossing the Dream Tribulation?!" Lin Hu's face changed greatly, "Miss Konghou wants to cross the Dream Tribulation?"
Dream Tribulation is when a cultivator suddenly realizes something in his sleep after cultivating the Great Perfection, which arouses the feeling of heaven, and brings down the catastrophe of thunder and state of mind. If you haven't passed it, it's a trivial matter to fall in your cultivation base. If you provoke inner demons, it's the biggest trouble.
However, there are very few cases of transcending calamities in dreams, and fewer people have successfully transcended calamities. Lin Hu and Huan Zong's faces became extremely ugly. .
The other monks living in the inn also noticed the situation, and crowded around the courtyard to watch, and soon the trees on the roof of the fence were crowded with people.
"Who lives in the yard, why is it so unlucky to encounter Meng Jie?"
"Looking at this situation, I'm afraid it's too dangerous, so fellow Daoists, don't be too busy watching the fun, it's not easy to practice, and you're also going out. Daoists with high cultivation will take out the magic weapon first. If the situation is too ferocious, we will And help block one, at least help this fellow Taoist stay alive."
In a short while, the trees on the roof of the fence radiated the light of colorful magic weapons, and the whole small courtyard was as bright as day at this moment.
Konghou stood on the palace with carved beams and painted buildings. Her father, the emperor, sat on the dragon chair and cursed at the officials. Due to the lack of funds in the treasury, the officials did not approve of him building the Xianle Tower, so he decided to increase taxes on the people.
The opposing courtiers were dragged down and quickly beheaded.
"If anyone dares to stop me again, I will let him slash with a thousand swords."
Seeing her father's hideous face and the stunned officials, Konghou wanted to stand out, but the next moment, her arm was grabbed tightly. She looked back, and the queen mother looked at it with a melancholy expression: "Don't go, your father is crazy, he will kill you."
Kong Hou was stunned, she looked at the begging mother, her body seemed to weigh thousands of pounds.
"The mother is only one child of you. If something happens to you, what should the mother do?" The queen wept and cried, "Child, let's go back. Mother has your favorite cakes there, and also prepared a lot of beautiful little skirts and hair for you. Jewelry, go with your mother."
The mother's soft and gentle hands and sad eyes made Kong Hou unable to refuse. She followed her mother out of the ceremony, turned her head to look at the high palace wall, and suddenly a strange picture appeared in her mind.
A waiter wearing half-wet cotton shoes but standing in the snow, a man in ragged clothes carrying a child and charcoal, the dilapidated and narrow streets, and the people struggling in poverty.
She stopped suddenly, these people... Where has she seen them
"Child, what's the matter?" The queen turned to look at her with a very gentle expression on her face. She was the warm sun in winter and the breeze in summer.
Konghou let go of her hand and asked softly, "What about those people?"
"What kind of people?" the gentle and beautiful queen asked puzzled, "what does this have to do with you?"
Konghou shook his head: "Mother, I want to go back."
The queen's expression became sad again: "Child, are you going to abandon your mother?"
Kong Hou gave her a deep look, then turned and ran towards the main hall gate.
She knew what these pictures were, it was the kindness and love in her heart.
"Child, don't leave me!" The queen's voice sounded behind her, like a mournful cry, like a solitary geese singing.
But this time Konghou didn't look back. She walked forward firmly, pushed open the gate of the palace that was closed at some point, and said to the emperor on the throne, "Emperor, please take your order back."
What she didn't understand when she was young, she now understands. What she failed to do when she was young, she is now able to stand up and stop it.
The world is not easy, and she can't watch them live in fire and water.
In the yard of the inn, Lin Hu looked at the sun that had moved westward: "Young Master, it's getting dark."
Huan Zong stood quietly, looking at the door of Konghou's room without speaking.
"You and the real person Wuming agreed to go get the medicine today. The old man Wuming is uneasy. If you can't be punctual..." Lin Hu advised, "I will stay here, you go and get the medicine."
If you don't go to get the medicine today, I'm afraid you won't be able to get the medicine tomorrow.
Huan Zong slowly shook his head.
"I'll wait for Konghou to come out."
