Chapter 52: Getting old

Views:

The main school of Jiuxuanmen is located at the junction of the Jintang Dynasty and the Chen Dynasty, Dongyong County where the main branch of the Fen River and the branch of Yanshui meet. In addition, the Jiuxuanmen of the Chen Dynasty and the Jintang Dynasty are just its branches.

It is not uncommon for ordinary disciples of the Nine Profound Master Sect to settle in the sect when they come out to perform tasks. And it should be the core disciples of the main sect of Jiuxuan who can make the disciples of the branch sect so excited. Previously, the city officials reported that there were Qingyu light boats of immortal cultivators landing here. Those who can afford Qingyu light boats are the only ones in the entire world of cultivating immortals.

The elders of each faction, the core disciples of the sect.

Even in the world of immortal cultivators, they are an extremely noble group of people.

There were three disciples of the main sect of the Nine Profound Sect walking out along the stone road. The one on the left walked alone, wearing a sky-blue robe with cloud patterns on the cuffs, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking like a gentleman, and the two on the right They walked side by side, one with a slovenly appearance and a grass root in his mouth, and the other with a solemn face holding a long sword.

Lou Shidao heard a small sigh from the disciple of the Jiuxuan sect in front of him.

"Hey, there is no senior brother."

It's a pity that the tone can't express it.

The notification disciple in front of the main hall of the sect also sighed when he heard his words. The brothers and sisters who came to the main sect this time are all influential figures in Jiuxuanmen, but the most beautiful one is only the elder brother Baili. It's just that since the master sect brothers came to the present, they only saw that one once.

Senior Brother Qin, who was carrying the flagon all day long, was the one he saw the most.

— To be honest, seeing that senior brother Qin's unscrupulous appearance, their yearning for the main sect was almost shattered.

Fortunately, there is still Senior Brother Baili. Among other things, just to catch a glimpse of Senior Brother Baili, he must practice hard and strive to become an official disciple of the main sect of Jiuxuanmen.

Several disciples of the Jiuxuan sect who came out to relax while recovering from their wounds quickly disappeared from sight, and Lou Shidao also looked back, thinking slightly in his heart, senior brother Baili, that senior brother of the Jiuxuan sect... Jiuxuan The sect sent the elder brother of the sect here as the candidate for the next sect head.

It is worthy of being the first sect of the immortal sect with a long history. The Jiuxuan sect has discovered something so quickly.

Lou Shidao's distracting thoughts flashed across his mind, but nothing appeared on his face.

He was introduced into the main hall of the Nine Xuan Sect, and met the head elder of the Nine Xuan Sect of the Yan Sect. This is the third time Lou Shidao has met the head elder of the Jiuxuan sect, but he has never been able to estimate the age of this person. The other party has a fair face and narrow and long eyes. It's hard to see through.

This is not something to be surprised about in the world of cultivating immortals.

It is difficult for cultivators to judge the age of each other from their appearance. A guy who looks like a ten-year-old child may be over a hundred years old, let alone an elder of a huge sect like Jiuxuanmen—even if the other party is just An elder from the Nine Profound Sect.

However, Lou Shidao was always wary of the head elder of the Nine Profound Sect. When he met for the second time, he saw that the other party killed a dude from the Chen family of the Yanmen family with the same expression. People from the family dare not say a word. This person does not seem to be able to be influenced by the wealth and power of the famous family.

At the beginning, he couldn't ask to see the other party. I am afraid that apart from the famous family's support behind the scenes, there are also the other party's own considerations.

In the important place of Yanmen, the elder Jiuxuan who has been stationed here for hundreds of years is really ignorant of some things

Lou Shidao didn't think so.

Sure enough, Yan Ziyu was still the bastard who always caused him more trouble in Taixue, and gave him such a difficult trouble as soon as he came up.

Or in other words, that lawless guy in Taixue did not live as carefree and carefree as the rumors said in the resplendent pinnacle of power in the world.

That guy, in the end, he is the only "Lou Zhengjing" who contradicts the old master all day long who can be entrusted with important tasks.

"Lou Junshou seems to have something to do when he comes to the door today."

The chief elder waiting in the main hall was wearing a dark black robe, on which the "Xuanyun" symbolizing Nine Profound Gates was embroidered on the skirt and cuffs.

The chief elder of the Nine Profound Sect doesn't seem to have the majesty of a high-ranking person, and his face is fair. He looked gentle, neither like the elders who commanded the entire branch of Yanmen County, nor like the cultivators who pursued the avenue of longevity.

He looks more like an elegant scholar than Lou Shidao.

However, his surname is Ye, and his single name is Yi, and he has guarded this place for nearly a hundred years.

"Elder Ye's supernatural powers are beyond the imagination of ordinary people like me." Daoist Lou Shi smiled politely. The corpses of farmers have not yet been cleared out.”

Ye Yi smiled: "Is the governor Lou here to ask about this matter? If things like changes in the world have not reached the realm of great power, even a cultivator cannot predict them."

After speaking, Ye Yi paused, and the branch elder, who seemed to be just a gentlemanly young man on the surface, narrowed his eyes slightly.

"However, in the eyes of cultivators, the changes in the world always correspond. Jiuxuanmen doesn't know much about secular affairs, but I heard that the current emperor of the Chen Dynasty does not seem to be the eldest son of Emperor Guang who died of illness. ...Does Governor Lou also feel that the earthquake in Yanmen County is telling something?"

"Elder Ye was joking."

Lou Shidao was slightly startled, but still had a decent smile on his face.

"This kind of thing that counts is not something that a certain mortal Lou can easily talk about. I came here this time to beg your lord's tolerance."

"Mr. Lou is being polite. It's okay to say anything."

Ye Yi didn't seem to have heard Lou Shidao's previous foreshadowing.

old fox.

Lou Shidao cursed secretly in his heart.

"To be honest, last night's earthquake, the farmland in Guonan County of Yanmen City was lost by rolling stones and mudslides, and the spiritual plant that was originally budgeted to pay tribute to Guizong has been destroyed. Lou came here this time to ask Guizong for accommodation. Reduce the tribute of Yanmen County this year."

Lou Shidao scolded in his heart, but his courtesy was still impeccable.

A look of embarrassment appeared on Ye Yi's face.

"Mr. Lou is a newcomer, I'm afraid he doesn't know the situation in Yanmen County."

Lou Shidao frowned slightly.

"Every winter, wild spirit beast hordes will go south to attack the city. Without the support of this spiritual plant, Governor Lou, are you planning to let the people of Yanmen County go to the city gate to deal with the beast horde? Try your best, and you can't deal with the beast horde without support." Ye Yi said, smiling slowly, "If the prefect Lou is worried about the destruction of the farmland, then I can show you the way."

Ye Yi said polite and decent words, but there was no room for negotiation in his tone.

Lou Shidao is the sheriff of Yanmen County, nominally the most powerful person in Yanmen County, but now Ye Yi refused his request so relentlessly, he could only squint his eyes and ask what way.

Ye Yi laughed.

"Although the farmland in the south of Yanmen County has been affected, the large plains in the north of the city have not been affected at all."

He said slowly, as if giving an irrelevant suggestion casually, without knowing how big waves his words would cause if they fell into the ears of others.

In the north of Yanmen City, there is an alluvial plain at the beginning of the canyon. It is the land occupied by the Yanmen family for generations. Now Ye Yi's implication is to ask him to find the Yanmen family and let the family pay the tribute.

What does Ye Yi mean? Is there any dispute between the Nine Profound Sect and the famous family? Lou Shidao quickly remembered the scene he saw Ye Yi beheading Chen's children with a sword, and several conjectures flashed in his mind.

But he didn't show any of these conjectures on his face.

On the surface, he was just like an ordinary official who was unwilling but had to obey, with a bit of anger but had to humbly thank Ye Yi for his kindness.

Looking at Lou Shidao's leaving figure, Ye Yi heaved a long sigh. He looked very young, but when he sighed, he looked like an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes.

"Young people are awesome. Even the Chen Dynasty, which was not well established at the time, has not easy young people." Ye Yi sighed, and turned his head to look at the back of the hall, "It's just like when the senior brother brought you back to the Nine Profound Gate. I never imagined that you would be able to go this far."

"Uncle Master praised you."

A person came out from behind the hall.

The man was very thin, and he was Bailishu, the senior brother who the disciples of the Jiuxuan sect lamented not to see. If Lou Shidao is here, he will be surprised by Ye Yi's address, Master Uncle. And Ye Yi's title for Baili Shu's master Yi Heping is not the master, but senior brother.

This seemingly ordinary elder in charge of the Yanmen sect turned out to be the younger brother of the current head of the Jiuxuanmen sect.

"I feel old when I see you." Ye Yi said, "If the senior brother hears what I say, he will not believe it. His youngest senior brother was able to get along with the group of Hehuan sect for a beauty pill. Guys who fight with women actually feel old."

Bailishu listened to Ye Yi quietly, and did not comment on his past with the teacher.

"The county guard surnamed Lou is not a simple person, and the new Emperor Chen Dynasty is not a simple role either. After so many years, not only the Chen Dynasty, but even the famous families have forgotten the relationship between the sect and the sect. It’s their favor. It’s a pity that I’m already old, and I’m too old to draw my sword and travel thousands of miles in the snow like I did back then.”

Ye Yi sighed.

He is indeed old.

Lou Shidao is not a cultivator, so he can only see Ye Yi's appearance as a young man in his early twenties, but he cannot feel Ye Yi's aura. In Bailishu's perception, Ye Yi's soul was like a candle that was about to burn out, and it had come to an end.

This shouldn't have happened. With Ye Yi's cultivation, his lifespan will definitely not exceed these years.

But that dead tree-like feeling really came from Ye Yi's soul, and it was very clear when he didn't hide it.

"Uncle."

Baili Shu opened his mouth and called out in a low voice.

"Yanmen is weeping, Bingzhou tower is lost, that net is about to fall. The bloody storm that is destined for this era is coming." Ye Yi looked at Bailishu, his eyes sharpened suddenly.

He said that he was an old man, that he could no longer pull out the knife, but at this moment his eyes were clearly sharper than the blade.

"I have never understood the senior brother's decision, but he has never made a mistake. I am not like Lao Qin, who refuses to accept many changes. The next one should be left to you young people."

Ye Yi said slowly, looking at Bailishu, as if he wanted to see clearly this nephew whom he had only met a few times.

"I just want to ask you a question."

Ye Yi's gaze reminded Bailishu of the old doctor who once advised him to be quiet and do nothing. While time takes away a person's energy, it also brings other things to him.

Baili Shu was silent for a long time, he looked outside the hall.

The disciples of the Nine Profound Sect outside the hall laughed and cursed wantonly.

He retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes.

"Uncle, please."
