At this time, everyone in the hall was talking, as if they were talking about something.
The young Taoist priest who led Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu adjusted his robes outside the door, and said respectfully: "Master Master, disciple Chang Jian, I have been ordered to take the two young..."
He hadn't finished speaking when suddenly a shrill cry came from above the sacred and solemn hall, interrupting him: "Ghost, evil ghost! Ghost!..."
Chang Jian was taken aback, but Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu were even more surprised, although the voice was sharp and unpleasant, it was extremely familiar.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't care so much, he rushed into the hall and shouted loudly: "Second Uncle Wang, Second Uncle Wang, is that you?"
Under his impatience, he shouted with a bit of anxiety and crying, and everyone couldn't bear it when they saw it.
Behind the crowd, in the corner of the main hall, a middle-aged man dressed as a woodcutter hugged his head in his hands, curled up tightly in the corner, trembling all over, and from between his fingers, "Ghost, ghost..." the sound of.
Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu who came in immediately recognized this man as a woodcutter in Caomiao Village, surnamed Wang, the second child, kind-hearted, smiling all day long, and was very good to their children, he usually went up the mountain to fight In addition to firewood, they will bring some wild fruits from the mountains to distribute to the children.
Without even thinking about it, Zhang Xiaofan rushed over, ran to Second Uncle Wang, grabbed him by the shoulders, and said loudly, "Second Uncle Wang, what happened? Why are all the people in the village dead? Also, what about my mother! Where is my father! How are they? Tell me!"
Second Uncle Wang heard Zhang Xiaofan's repeated questioning, he seemed to be touched, he stopped saying "ghost, ghost" for now, slowly raised his head, and looked at Zhang Xiaofan in front of him.
All the people in the main hall were suddenly moved, and they all fell silent. Even the people sitting on the chairs couldn't help but stand up and look here.
It's just that Uncle Wang's eyes were red, full of fear and confusion. He looked at Zhang Xiaofan for a while, but he didn't say a word, he frowned tightly, as if he was trying to think about something
At this time, someone in the Qingyun Sect couldn't help but took a step, and was about to speak, but was quietly pulled back by the person beside him.
Seeing Second Uncle Wang didn't respond for a long time, Zhang Xiaofan just looked at him lifelessly, he was very anxious, he said loudly: "Second Uncle Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Unexpectedly, Second Uncle Wang was yelled loudly by him, his whole body trembled, his face was full of fear, his whole body suddenly rolled and scrambled to the side, he hugged his head in his hands again, huddled together, and kept wailing: "Ghost, ghost, Ghost!... "
Sighs were heard in the main hall, everyone in the Qingyun Sect had disappointment on their faces, and those who had just stood up also sat back down. Zhang Xiaofan was still waiting to question, but Lin Jingyu grabbed him by the side.
Zhang Xiaofan looked back puzzled, but saw tears in the corner of Lin Jingyu's eyes, said sadly: "It's useless, he's already gone crazy!"
There was a "boom" in Zhang Xiaofan's head, he froze there, unable to make a sound.
Lin Jingyu was one year older than him, and his thoughts were more subtle, he glanced at the people in the hall, and saw that everyone in the hall was dressed in Qingyunmen clothes, there were men and women, moral and vulgar. Most of them have weapons, mostly long swords.
Among them, the six people sitting on the chairs are even more outstanding and outstanding. Among these six people, there are three ways and three vulgarities, especially the one sitting in the middle who is dressed in a dark green Taoist robe, has a crane bone fairy style, and has warm and bright eyes. Naturally, he is the famous Master Daoxuan, the head of the Qingyun Sect.
Lin Jingyu didn't say much at the moment, he pulled Zhang Xiaofan, ran to those six people, knelt down to Daoxuan Daoxuan, kowtowed endlessly with "bang bang bang".
Reverend Daoxuan took a careful look at the two of them, sighed slightly, and said, "Poor children, get up!"
But Lin Jingyu didn't get up, looked up at this first-class figure, and said sadly: "Senpai, we are both young and ignorant, and we are suddenly changed like this. I really don't know what to do. You have great powers Knowing the past and the future, please be the master for us!"
Zhang Xiaofan is not as good at talking as he is, and at the moment his mind is in a mess, he also said: "Yes! Immortal Grandpa, you are the master!"
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help smiling. Zhang Xiaofan was ignorant, but then everyone's eyes fell on Lin Jingyu.
Lin Jingyu was still young, in the midst of great changes, and facing such a famous master as Master Daoxuan, his speech was still orderly and clear, his calmness was far better than that of ordinary children, not to mention the calm As far as I know, Zhang Xiaofan still regards Daoxuan as a god.
The massacre in Caomiao Village was something that Qingyunmen had never heard of in the thousand years. It happened right at the foot of Qingyunmen, and the faction of Qingyunmen was shaken.
Reverend Daoxuan was shocked and angry after receiving the report, and immediately summoned the heads of the other six branches to discuss. At this moment, apart from the first Master Shuiyue of the "Little Bamboo Peak" lineage, Master Future, the heads of the other five lines are all present.
The person who can be the head of Qingyun's seven veins is naturally the top person in Qingyun sect; and the top person in Qingyun sect is naturally the top figure among the practitioners of the world. All the people present here had eyes like a torch, and at this moment they all said in their hearts: "What a piece of beautiful jade."
Reverend Daoxuan smiled slightly, and said: "I don't know about the future and the past, but you live under Qingyun Mountain, and Qingyun Sect will naturally not ignore you. It's just that I have a few questions I want to ask you, I hope you can answer them well."
Lin Jingyu nodded and said: "Yes, this disciple knows everything. Please ask the real person to ask questions!"
Reverend Daoxuan nodded, and said, "How did you escape this calamity?"
Lin Jingyu was stunned, and said: "Reporting to the real person, I still remember sleeping on the bed at home last night, but when I woke up in the morning, I was lying with Xiaofan under a pine tree in the wild. I don't know what happened. Later Xiaofan When Fan woke me up, we ran back to the village together, and when we saw that, that, that scene, we fainted from fright."
Reverend Daoxuan frowned, looked at Zhang Xiaofan, and said: "You woke him up, so what about you?"
Zhang Xiaofan thought for a while and said: "I didn't know what to do so I went there, woke up and saw Jing Yu next to me, so I woke him up."
Reverend Daoxuan and the other leaders looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. If there is an expert to rescue, why only save these two children, if not, it can't be justified anyway!
Reverend Daoxuan pondered for a while, and said: "That means, you guys don't know anything about what happened last night."
The two said in unison: "Yes."
Master Daoxuan sighed, and called out: "Song Daren."
"The disciple is here." A disciple of Qingyun came out in response, tall and burly, dressed like a layman. Just now he was standing behind a short and fat man who was sitting, and he seemed to be the disciple of that man.
Reverend Daoxuan said: "You were the first to find out about Caomiao Village, so please tell me about the situation that day!"
Song Daren said in a rough voice, "Yes. Early this morning, the disciple and several fellow disciples came back from work, and returned in the sky. When passing by the sky above Caomiao Village, the disciple inadvertently lowered his head and found that there were more than 200 dead bodies in the village. The pile of dead bodies was horrible. The disciples and others rushed down to check, but only found the two children at the back of the village. Seeing that they were unconscious, they were first brought back by a junior brother. Later, they were in the latrine beside the village... " He pointed to Uncle Wang, who was huddled in the corner, and said, "I found this person. It's just that his eyes are dull and his mind is in a trance. No matter how the disciple asks, he doesn't answer. He just keeps saying: ghost, ghost, evil ghost." "
Lin Jingyu's body trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Brother, have you counted the number of people?"
Song Daren had sympathy in his eyes, and said: "I found a junior who trades firewood with your village on weekdays. He is very familiar with the situation of the villagers in your village. After his identification and our counting, Caomiao Village forty There are two hundred and forty-seven people in the two families, except for the three of you, all of them are dead."
Even though they had a premonition in their hearts, after hearing Song Daren's clear and affirmative words, Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan still couldn't help their eyes from darkening, almost fainting again.
Reverend Daoxuan sighed lightly, flicked his left hand lightly, a small red bead flew out of his sleeve, flew in front of Zhang and Lin, and rolled a few times on their foreheads and heart, and immediately felt a sense of coolness, penetrating through the body.
For some reason, the originally tense nerves in their hearts seemed to be loosened, and they suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted. They couldn't help but lay down on the hall and fell asleep.
Reverend Daoxuan waved his hand, and all the standing disciples saluted one after another, and then retreated one by one. In the main hall, only the six of them were left.
At this time, the short and fat man said: "Senior brother, you have temporarily calmed them down with the 'Spiritual Calming Bead', but after they wake up, what are you going to do with them?"
Reverend Daoxuan pondered for a while, then turned his head to the Taoist sitting first on the left, and asked, "Junior Brother Cangsong, what do you think?"
Taoist Cangsong is tall and dignified, and he is the head of the "Longshou Peak" lineage of Qingyunmen. Among the Qingyun sect, apart from Daoxuan's Nagato, his Longshoufeng sect is the most powerful.
Cang Song has a severe nature, in addition to managing the disciples of his own line, he is also in charge of the punishment of the entire Qingyun Sect. Disciple Qingyun admired the master Daoxuan very much on weekdays, but what he was most afraid of was this unsmiling chief Cangsong.
Taoist Cangsong frowned at the moment, and after a while, he said: "There are many doubts about this matter, and I'm afraid I can't find out in a hurry. But the villagers of Caomiao have always been simple, we can't ignore their orphans. Take the two of them back under the sect!"
Reverend Daoxuan nodded, and said: "That's right, that's what I mean too. These two children were born in poverty, we want to take care of them. It's just that I haven't accepted apprentices for many years, I don't know which junior can accept them as disciples? "
At this time, the short and fat man, who is the head of Qingyunmen's "Dazhufeng" sect, Tian Buyi, said: "Senior Brother, in my opinion, it is best not to let them both belong to the same sect. They have similar backgrounds, If we stay together, every time we see each other, we will think of the past, so angry, I'm afraid it will be bad in the future!"
Reverend Daoxuan thought for a while, and said: "Junior Brother Tian is right. The two of them have undergone such a big change at such a young age. We should properly resolve the resentment in their hearts. It is really not suitable for them to live together. Then two people are needed. A younger brother has come to take them in." He said, looking at the crowd.
Seeing the leaders of the other five veins, Cangsong and everyone's eyes fell on Lin Jingyu almost at the same time, wandering around, refusing to leave, but no one paid attention to Zhang Xiaofan who was at the side.
In the way of cultivation, aptitude is extremely important. There is often a saying in the world that a genius enlightened is better than a hundred years of practice. The people of Qingyun Sect have a deep understanding of this.
Back then when Qingyun Sect was at the end of its rope, only one patriarch Qingye, who was astonishingly talented and brilliant, was young, but he was extremely talented. Make a small Qingyun sect full of vitality and prosperity, and now it is the leader of the righteous way in the world.
In addition, it is true that famous teachers are hard to find, but disciples with high aptitude are equally rare. Lin Jingyu's talent is extraordinary and his bones are excellent, so the leader of each branch of the Qingyun Sect naturally fell in love with him at a glance.
After being quiet for a while, Na Tian Buyi coughed and said: "Hey, senior brother, you know that my Dazhu Peak lineage has always been weak, so I will solve one for you this time!"
After finishing speaking, he was about to point his hand at Lin Jingyu, but Shang Zhengliang, the head of "Chaoyang Peak" beside him stood up first, blocked him, and said to Master Daoxuan: "Senior brother, I saw this child today I feel that I am very close to him, and I think it is because I have a predestined relationship with him, why not let him join my sect!"
The Qingyun sect has a long history, each branch is friendly on the surface, but inside they all have the meaning of competing with each other. Seeing that Lin Jingyu is so talented, no one can tell if he will be the next Qingye patriarch, let alone the worst income of the sect. It's just multiple disciples, but it won't let other branches get a chance.
Originally cultivating with Daoxuan's prestige, no one dared to fight, but Daoxuan said he would not accept it, how could such a good thing be missed
As soon as Shang Zhengliang finished speaking, the head Taoist Tianyun of "Luoxia Peak" said beside him: "Brother Shang, you already have two hundred disciples under your sect, if all of them have a destiny with you, your fate is inevitable." Too much."
Shang Zhengliang blushed, and was about to speak, but Tian Buyi said first: "Brother Tianyun is right! When it comes to the number of disciples, you have at least a hundred or more, but my Dazhu Peak lineage only has seven, it's not like that look. How about..."
At this time Taoist Cangsong interrupted him, saying: "Junior Brother Tian, these two children have such a pitiful background, what we want to give them is the best care, not our own number." After finishing speaking, he Turning his head and cupping his hands to Daoxuan Daoxuan, he said: "Brother sect master, this kid is indeed a good material, please let me take him into my sect, I will teach him carefully, make him a talent, and comfort the souls of Caomiao Village .”
Reverend Daoxuan pondered for a while, Tian Buyi, Shang Zhengliang and the others secretly murmured that something was wrong, and sure enough, after a while, Reverend Daoxuan said: "Junior Brother Cangsong also makes sense, then let him join you. Go to the door!"
Cang Song smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Senior Sect Leader."
Everyone saw that they had been with Cangsong for a long time, knowing that Cangsong was usually unsmiling, but smiling today was a joy in his heart, so they couldn't help being secretly annoyed. It's just that Master Daoxuan said something, and Cangsong's Longshoufeng lineage is very powerful, so he had to swallow his breath.
Daoxuan paused for a moment, then said again: "Then this other..."
Shang Zhengliang coughed and closed his eyes; Tian Yun looked at the ceiling of the main hall, and seemed to find that the patterns there were very beautiful; Zeng Shuchang, the head of another branch of "Fenghuifeng" whose mouth has been snatched away, simply settled down, as if he ignored the matter here from the beginning.
Only Taoist Cangsong, who had won a great victory, gave everyone a cold look, but his eyes were full of smiles.
Reverend Daoxuan couldn't help being a little embarrassed, but what a character he is, naturally he wouldn't say that you don't want such poor qualifications, just a thought, and immediately found a scapegoat.
"Junior Brother Tian." Reverend Daoxuan's smile looked so kind at this moment.
Tian Buyi's heart skipped a beat, he immediately jumped up, and was about to speak, but Master Daoxuan preempted him and said, "The matter of Caomiao Village was first discovered by your disciple Song Daren, it seems that this child is still very close to your Dazhufeng It's fate. Hehe, you should receive it from the door!"
Tian Buyi was in a hurry, Zhang Xiaofan had mediocre aptitude, and he could tell at a glance that it was just a burden to receive him, so he naturally didn't like it. He was about to argue, but Daoxuan was willing to let him have a chance to speak, and said: "Okay, this matter is over, all junior brothers should also pay attention to investigate this matter, understand?"
Cang Song and the others stood up together and said in unison: "Yes."
Reverend Daoxuan nodded, coughed a few times, and walked quickly into the back hall without looking at Tian Buyi's appearance. After his figure disappeared in the main hall, there was a sudden burst of laughter from the Yuqing Hall of Qingyunmen.
※※※
Song Daren, a disciple of Dazhufeng sect, has been waiting outside the gate of Yuqing Palace, finally waited for the masters to come out, went up to greet him, but saw his master Tian Buyi holding Zhang Xiaofan in his arms, he couldn't help being stunned, said: "Master, what's wrong?"
When Tian Buyi saw it was him, he felt annoyed for a while, and said angrily: "What? Are you stupid? Why don't you take it quickly?!"
Song Daren hastily picked up Zhang Xiaofan who was still sleeping, Tian Buyi was furious, but out of the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of Shang Zhengliang, Tian Yun and others who walked out at the same time, and couldn't stop laughing, his heart was even more annoyed, he shouted at Song Daren : "Come on, what are you doing there?"
After finishing speaking, he ignored other things, and with a swipe of his right hand, a red light flashed, and a long red sword was raised by him. He didn't see how he moved, so he floated on the sword and flew away through the air.
Song Daren couldn't figure it out for a while, but at least he understood that he had an extra junior brother. He looked at Zhang Xiaofan in his arms, couldn't help but said: "Little Junior Brother, I don't know your name yet!"
Zhang Xiaofan still fell into a deep sleep, completely unaware that his fate had unknowingly turned a big corner.
