Four days ago, there was no Fangshan.
In the Wufang Hall, the astrolabe slowly rotates on the dome, the star trails poured out of mercury overlap and transform, and hundreds of millions of planetesimals are distributed among them, shining brightly. Qi Lingshu sat upright on the futon, starlight scattered all over his thin shoulders. In front of him, the Quartet Profound Pole Star Array quietly moved, and the complicated formation exuded fine cyan light. With the operation of the formation, the shadows of Zhonggu, Fenghuan, the head of Kunlun, and the elders were reflected in the center of the hall. The Sifang Xuanji Star Array is a Taoist secret method, which can reflect the phantoms of objects in different places, and is usually used for communication.
Everyone knelt on the futon, everyone was a cyan shadow, the star-like light flickered and danced on the body, like a wave. Examining the past carefully, all of them were full of sorrow and sighed. The most conspicuous is the fat shadow with a glossy face in the Qing style. Among the giants full of Xianmen, most of them pay attention to health preservation and few desires, and they are as clean as firewood. Only this guy is fat like a pig.
"Human Taoism is declining, and one generation is not as good as the next. And the demons are burning with arrogance, plus they have a powerful demon co-owner Fu Lan, all of them are arrogant, they are going to go to the sky! The day before yesterday, the Qinling generation Wangshan Xiaoba The village and He village were eaten up by the big belly fish monsters upstream of the Jialing River. After eating, they went down the Donghe River, and along the way, more than a dozen townships and counties including Lueyang County, Liangdang County, and Huixian County were unbearable. "Bai Mingjun, the head of Zhonggu Mountain, said with a dry brow, "This is not a trivial matter. Suoyang Pass is the border between the human world and the southern border. Immortal Sect disciples have been killed and injured countless times. They will gather and charge again, and I see that they will go to the foot of Wufang Mountain soon. How can this be good?"
"The Qing-style senior brother really had foresight. He bought a boat and went out to sea early to avoid the world." Nie Chonghua, the head of Kunlun Mountain, glanced coldly at the fat shadow in the mirror, "How is the sea scene? It's leisurely."
Qing Shi lowered his eyebrows and covered his face, "It's really the old man's, isn't it? The phoenix was passed on to the old man, only the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. You see, not to mention the useless dolls in this room, the only support Brother Qinghe, who could afford the appearance, unfortunately passed away prematurely.” Speaking of which, he moved an urn from the bottom and put it on his lap, “Have pity on my brother Qinghe, I’m still at the age of a flower, so I just went. Ah, you are in the spirit of heaven, bless the world to revive the Dao Fa, and my brother will burn paper for you!"
Speaking of Meng Qinghe, Nie Chonghua became embarrassed and waved his hands quickly: "Qing Shi, I don't mean to blame you, I just hope you can come up with an idea as well. Daoism is declining, and it will be passed down from generation to generation, I must pay it back while I wait. When you have the strength to fight, you can inflict heavy damage on the southern border in exchange for the peace of the world!" She looked at Yuan Ku, who was her boss, "Master Yuan Ku, what do you think?"
The old man at the top sat silently, his hands on his knees exposed. This is the hand that has held the hilt of the sword for decades, like the claws of a tiger, sturdy and powerful. The old precept elder Yuan Ku, now the head of Wufang Mountain, will be replaced by Yuan Ji after Yuan Ji's death. Everyone knows that he has always advocated a decisive battle with the southern border, and Yuan Ji adopted a soft-hearted policy in the past, which made him very dissatisfied. If Wufangshan talks about the Demon Hunting Sword Immortal, the first one is not the sword-wielding elder Qi Yuanwei who died in the tomb of the gods, but this bad-tempered old man.
"The old man thinks..." The old man rubbed the satin on his knees, his rough voice was like grinding stones, "Let's make peace."
Nie Chonghua was stunned for a moment. He was even taken aback by the Qing Shi in the mirror. The urn couldn't be held firmly and fell to the ground, and the peanuts inside fell out. He hurriedly lowered his head to pick it up, "Aiya, my junior brother threw it away, and my junior brother threw it away." Fortunately, the mirror could only see half of his body, and the elders in Wufang Hall could not see the peanuts in the urn.
Qi Lingshu glanced at the old man above and said nothing.
"I'm old, may I ask now, who can lead the disciples of Xianmen to fight in the southern border?" Yuan Ku said slowly, "May I ask everyone here, who can defeat the Jiugai Demon Dragon? Fulan in the southern border, but they have been killed in a row. Two monsters of dragons. That day he tricked me into Wufang and made Wufang look like you don't remember, but the old man is still vivid in your eyes. The barrier is broken, the demons are galloping, and the dragon hissing in the sea of ice, The peak of extinction is crumbling, what a sight it is! Who is here who can compete with this monster?"
"Are you afraid?" Nie Chonghua sneered.
"Afraid?" Yuan smiled bitterly, "I am so young, so why should I be afraid of death? What I am afraid of is not that monster, but you young people who don't know what to do, looking for their own way to die in vain." He sighed, "I What you say doesn't count, it depends on the number of people. Whoever agrees to negotiate peace, if not more than half, then let's go to the southern border and decide between male and female! Even if I have no way to die, I will kill a bloody road for you all. Hengshan! At that time, the blood will flow into a river, and if this old man is unfortunate enough to take a step forward, all of you here will have to fight against Fu Lan."
Everyone in the seat looked at each other in dismay, Qi Lingshu knelt up straight, gave a long bow, "Disciple agrees."
As soon as he came out, successive elders agreed, "Sect Leader is right, and Zhonggushan agrees."
"Liberty Gate seconded."
Qing style also said: "Feng Huanshan seconded."
Nie Chonghua was furious, but he had no choice but to follow the flow, "Kunlun Mountain obeys orders."
"Then let Lingshu send an envoy to the southern border and discuss and negotiate a peace." Yuan Ku closed his eyes with a tired look on his face, he looked really old. Maybe when people get old, they will lose their fighting spirit.
The formation was closed, Qi Lingshu was about to leave, Yuan Ku stopped him and walked up to him, "Lingshu, thanks to you. Although your master has passed away, your prestige still exists. Although you are young, you are very important. ."
"Uncle Master is wrong," Qi Lingshu bowed and bowed, "Uncle Master's words are very reasonable, and confrontation is not a long-term solution. We don't know Nanjiang, let alone Fulan. Maybe Fulan is not as vicious as rumored, and it's unknown. Fulan is the co-owner of the Southern Border. If he agrees to negotiate peace between the North and the South, whether it is the human world or the Southern Border, peace can be expected."
"Very good." Yuan Ku smiled approvingly, reaching out and pinching Qi Lingshu's shoulder.
Rough fingers rubbed against his shoulders, Qi Lingshu frowned slightly, he didn't like physical contact with others. After taking two steps back, Qi Lingshu saluted again, "What else is there to do, Uncle Shi?"
"Lingshu, you are Wufang's hope. Wufang's swordsmanship is all tied to your shoulders. Uncle Shi has high expectations for you." Yuan Ku said.
"Master's words are serious."
"If you are free at night, Uncle Shi can teach you your sword skills and see how you have improved recently." Yuan Ku said.
"..." Qi Lingshu's brows became more and more frowned, and for some reason, he faintly felt something wrong. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the old man in front of him, his eyes were kind, like a kind elder. Although Yuan Ku has always had a temper, but because Qi Lingshu abides by the precepts and has three thousand disciples, he only has a good face towards Qi Lingshu. Such a face is no different from usual, but Qi Lingshu still feels weird. After a light cough, Qi Lingshu said, "Uncle Shixing sleeps at night, the disciple does not dare to disturb, the disciple retire."
I went back to the house and changed my clothes, but still felt uncomfortable, so I went to take a shower in the cold pool. After tying his belt, the white gauze collar was meticulously folded on his chest, Qi Lingshu sat on the stone drum stool, lit an oil lamp, and opened the letter from Yunzhi. This fellow has been out at sea for many months, and only sent such a thin letter. Today, the Qing-style uncle participated in the discussion, and there was no shadow of that person in the formation, and he didn't know what he was doing. He wanted to ask, but he didn't lose his face.
There was also a rough and hard thing in the letter. He poured it out and saw that it was a conch the size of a slap. Under the lamp, it shines brightly, it is really beautiful. It was icy cold in his hand, like a piece of ice, very strange. He took a brocade box, put the conch in it, and read the letter.
"I go to sea for more than a month, and I live in a shallow place. The only thing I see every day is the sea. Every time the moon comes from the sea, I remember my little uncle. Is my little uncle safe recently?"
"I'm safe." Qi Lingshu's brows became warmer, and he continued to read.
"April Moon, I sailed to a small island, called Zhuruo, and saw the merpeople. The men are all handsome, and the women are all slender, which is very different. The queen saw that I was very handsome and invited me to join the family. I am old and frail, so I refuse to accept it. However, the pearl is like a beautiful landscape. I linger for a few days, drinking fine wine, listening to Yaoqin, and being accompanied by beautiful women. Shishu Rongxiang is on the paper, and the mermen of Hedao, both men and women, want wives for you. It’s a pity. In early May, it will be done. The queen left me a few conch snails to send lovesickness, and the merman songs are left in the snails, which can be heard in the ears. , I donate one to my uncle. There are endless people who want to talk to my uncle, but I can’t get enough paper. I don’t know if the black and dumb two are safe, ask them on my behalf. Yunzhi nodded.”
After reading the letter, Qi Lingshu's face darkened completely. He took out the brocade box, picked up the conch, and listened carefully, and sure enough, there was an ethereal woman singing. This bastard who makes fun of flowers, and even borrowed flowers to offer Buddha with other gifts given to him, is really a heartless flower thief. Qi Lingshu threw the conch out of the stone room, lowered her head to blow the lamp, and suddenly remembered what happened during the day. Yuan Ku's gaze slid over his shoulder, making it uncomfortable to think about. Qi Lingshu's brows became tighter and tighter, he put on his clothes, picked up his sword, and blew the lamp to go out. Walking all the way to the front of Yuan Ku's Wujiu Xiaozhu, Qi Lingshu quietly sneaked under the window and looked inside through the cracked plum blossom window lattice.
The curtain hangs high, Yuan Ku is sitting in front of the mirror box and looking in the mirror, looking at the face on the left, then at the face on the right, and finally removes the bun, looses his hair, and sits straight in front of the mirror. staring at himself. This gesture is very strange, and Qi Lingshu's heart is slightly hairy. Involuntarily took a step back, accidentally stepped on a branch, and made a creaking sound. Yuan Ku suddenly turned his head over there and looked over fiercely.
Yuan Ku rushed over, the sound of his footsteps was like drumming. I saw a hideous black shadow covering the window screen, Xuan Window was suddenly pushed up, Yuan Ku stretched out his head and looked around. It was empty outside, and the dense bushes were gloomy green, stacked on top of each other, like clusters of faint ghost fires.
"That's the way it is, I suspect that there is something wrong with Uncle Master." Qi Lingshu sat cross-legged in front of the fire pit and said to Fu Lan and Qi Yin, "In the next three days, I will monitor Uncle Master at the opposite Ziji Library every night. Xiaozhu, I found that there are disciples entering every night, sneaking, very suspicious. Since the death of Uncle Yuan Ji, there is no way to destroy all the demon hearts, but I still worry that there are people who are guarding themselves and coveting the power of demons."
"Do you suspect that he took out the demon's heart and replaced it for himself?" the black cat asked.
"It doesn't have to be a change of heart, it could also be eating, alchemy, practicing forbidden techniques..." Qi Lingshu said solemnly, "that makes him so weird."
"Aren't you afraid that something will happen to him when you come to Southern Border now?" the black cat asked.
Qi Lingshu was helpless, "There is no other way, only I know the true identity of Junior Brother Fulan, and I have to go to the southern border. I have asked Zhaoran to pay close attention to Wujiao Xiaozhu. If there is any abnormality, he will inform him through the glass mirror. ."
Qi Yin scratched his head and asked, "You said that the old man has a weird posture, can you be a little more careful, what a weird way?"
Qi Lingshu thought about it and said, "Not like a man, but exactly like a woman."
"Are the disciples who entered his room all male?" Qi Yin asked again.
Qi Lingshu nodded, "Not bad."
"Isn't that the case when he touched your shoulder?" Qi Yin pinched on Fu Lan's shoulder.
"good."
"..." Qi Yin seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Speak straight." Qi Lingshu said.
"Little uncle, you've been on the mountain for too long, you're too innocent." Qi Yin held her forehead and said, "Do you know Bai Mingjun, Zhonggu Mountain, did the dog thief tell you anything about him? Accepting my eldest disciple as a righteous daughter, and master and apprentice becoming father and daughter, is actually to make it easier to get close."
"Close...?" Qi Lingshu's eyes slowly revealed surprise.
"That's right, boldly thinking crooked, that's what it means. Your uncle..." Qi Yin said with deliberation, "I guess he thinks your nephews and nephews are godsons, do you understand what I'm talking about? Old man Well, I finally became the head of the family, probably because I wanted to seize the opportunity and have a good time before entering the coffin."
Qi Lingshu was stunned on the spot, unable to speak for a long time.
This matter hit him a lot, Qi Yin felt a little bit distressed for him, the former head was a forgetful one, the new head was a broken sleeve, and even hitting him on the head was more disgusting than eating flies. Qi Yin comforted a few words and changed the subject, "How is the dog thief lately, have you sent a letter to say something? I have been in Bashan a few days ago, and I don't know anything."
Speaking of Yunzhi, Qi Lingshu's face suddenly turned black, and the surrounding air seemed to be frozen by frost. Both Qi Yin and Fu Lan shook together. Qi Lingshu said with a cold face: "Shameless, don't mention him."
