Chapter 138: Descending the Mountain for Disciples
The Xingyue Sect was built on Jiufeng Mountain, three hundred miles away from Jingcheng, in the northwest of Jingcheng. The mountain is like a tiger, the head and tail face each other to form a ring arc, the bottom of the mountain to the mountainside, countless pavilions are hidden between the tall and beautiful mangosteen, and there are more tall buildings scattered among the pines and cypresses.
Above the mountain range, the nine peaks stand evenly, like nine long swords piercing the clouds, and there are Jingge Yalou on each of the nine peaks, among which the eight elders of the Xingyue Sect each have a peak.
In the middle of the nine peaks is the highest saint's peak, and in the lower part of the visible part, there are vines intertwined with each other, and there are hundreds of flowers growing in between. Half-waisted clouds and mist for many years, few people see its true face.
This is a fairy-like mountain peak dressed in white clothes and green skirts, and the person who lives there is Shangguan Yun, the sect leader of the Star Moon Sect.
The peak is flat and spacious, there is a three-storey wooden attic that sits on the south and faces north, carved beams and painted buildings, there is an indescribable fairy charm and charm here.
In the sun-caressed front yard, strange flowers bloom among the different grasses. There are several fruit trees on each side of the garden, and the fruit on them is abundant, but the fruit on each fruit tree is different. In the middle of the garden, there is a pond with sparkling and green water sparkling at the bottom.
At this time, in the study room above the third floor of the pavilion, Shangguan Yun was sitting at the desk, and there was a dark red Dongyue Zheng on the table, which was as smooth as jade, with several magic scrolls on one side of the Dongyue Zheng, and a jade plate containing several fruits on the other side.
Shangguan Yun was wearing a dress with blue stripes on a white background, her jet-black hair was combed in a startling bun, and a green jade hairpin was inserted between the buns.
Perfect melon seed face, apricot eyes and nose, skin is better than snow but there is red and dark, just like Xianjiao is less cold, and it seems to be more charming.
Shangguan Yun's fingers tapped on the table, and behind her stood two maidservants, and on one side of the table sat a young man, who was her little disciple Du Ling.
"Master, the disciple doesn't dare to hide from the master, what I said is the truth. Du Ling blinked and said sincerely.
Shangguan Yun's eyebrows were soothing, and he said to Du Ling: "You show me the portrait." ”
Du Ling hurriedly took out the wanted notice posted by Que Huancheng to Xiao Nan and handed it over, he had a premonition that the master was going to ask about the senior sister when he was summoned by the master before.
Wei Shuangling came back from Xunjiabao this time, and her heart was very different from before, Shangguan Yun didn't care about it at first, seeing that she was worried all day long, and her face was worried.
Shangguan Yun only inquired a few times like a teacher and friend, but Wei Shuangling was secretive and secretive about her.
After a few days, this disciple was still the same, this disciple used to be by his side, most of the time he was cultivating, and it was rare to have a day to relax in January, but this time when he came back, every time he saw her, he was either restless or in a daze.
Shangguan Yun was sure that his proud disciple was in trouble, and asked Du Ling behind his back, but he also said that he didn't know.
Until a few months ago, Wei Shuangling went down the mountain in the name of visiting his family, and then he never came back halfway. Shangguan Yun realized that the situation was serious, and sent Du Ling to inquire, Du Ling was very neat and came back soon, but he was indeed alone.
The reply he got was just a few words from Du Ling, saying
When I saw my senior sister, she still had something to do, and after a while, she would go back.
Of course, Shangguan Yun understood the trickiness in his words, so he made a big deal and forced Du Ling to tell the truth.
After listening to the disciple's story, Shangguan Yun snorted lightly and said, "What's the big deal about this?
"Master, I'm afraid that my senior sister will blame me for not being able to keep my words, and she has repeatedly told me not to tell Master about this, and I can't help it. Now that I've said that, she will definitely look down on me in the future. ”
Shangguan Yunliu raised her eyebrows and scolded angrily: "Hmph, she will look down on you in the future? I look down on you now, you give me to go out to cultivate, and I am not allowed to go down the mountain for half a year." ”
"Yes, Master, then I'm out. Du Ling bowed down and walked out of the door, muttering in his heart, "You are not allowed to go down the mountain for half a year, and you can not go down the mountain for a year, anyway, Wei Shuangqi doesn't care much about me." ”
Shangguan Yun in the study stared at the portrait and fell into a contemplative .......
After a long time, she got up and said to the maid beside her: "You two should be optimistic about Du Ling, and inform the guards under the peak that no matter who comes to visit under the mountain, they are not allowed to come, just say that I am in retreat and will not see guests for the time being." ”
Shangguan Yun went down the mountain, and this was the first time she had gone down the mountain in nearly a hundred years, and its purpose was for her most proud disciple and her closest sister.
On the other side, Lu Miaoying and her two subordinates easily passed the encirclement of rounding up Xiao Nan in three days.
Under her soft bubble and hard grinding, the two subordinates were forced to separate from her, and the soldiers divided into three ways to find Xiao Nan, who had fallen into many crises.
She had a little spirit fox borrowed from Xun Qianhu, this spirit fox did not disappoint her, and at noon, the spirit fox smelled a trace.
Beside the boulders surrounded by several large trees, there are obvious fresh traces of a tent that was once set up, and there are fallen pastry crumbs next to it.
"It's likely that he lived here, and the range of marks left in this tent is about the same size as the one I gave him. Lu Miaoying felt a tingling pain at the tip of her heart, and tears immediately burst out of her eyes.
The little spirit fox flashed in front of her, and she followed step by step, reading and scolding the man who haunted her in her heart.
One beast and one person, one first and one behind, they are very fast.
Suddenly, Lu Miaoying stopped, a sly smile curved into the corner of her mouth, and she took out a pill and fed it to her mouth. A moment later, a peerless face appeared in the forest where insects and birds were singing.
The little spirit fox turned his head and looked at her, running to her side looking a little puzzled and dazed, Lu Miaoying bent down and reached out to tap its forehead, and said softly: "It's still me, let's go, let's find him quickly." ”
Sure enough, in less than an hour, Lu Miaoying saw a man more than 200 meters away, "It's Xiao Nan! It's him! It's Xiao Nan......!"
At this moment, she seemed to forget to breathe, tears welled up, her whole body trembled uncontrollably, she suppressed her crying, but she was still whimpering.
She felt a little dizzy, and it took a while for her mood to calm down
Calm down.
She took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face, and patted her cheeks with both hands. took out the mirror, sorted out his makeup, and then made a few more expressions to the mirror, saying to himself, "I'm so beautiful." ”
Xiao Nan was listless at this moment, he had avoided several enemies who rounded him up in the past two days, and he muttered hatefully, "This group of bastards, there is still ...... end." ”
As soon as he read this, he suddenly jumped backwards, because a head had just suddenly poked out from behind the tree.
He was terrified, and patted his chest at the figure that had come out from behind the tree.
It was a woman, dressed in a duck-yellow dress, her hair was lightly pulled up, like a waterfall hanging down her shoulders, her face was beautiful and flawless, and in the rays of sunlight through the treetops, her face seemed to be lightened throughout the forest.
Xiao Nan definitely thought that he had met a forest elf, and he stared at this elf for a long time.
But the woman who was staring at him secretly scolded in her heart: "It's really a shameless obscene embryo, as soon as I see a good-looking woman, I get lustful, see how I clean you up, I want to pluck your skin, pull your tendons, ......." ”
Lu Miaoying saluted him and said timidly: "This big brother, please help me." ”
When Xiao Nan heard this, he finally came back to his senses, he shook his head quickly, blinked his dry eyes a few times, and whispered in his head: "How could this barren mountain and wild mountain meet a lone woman?"
He turned around while thinking, didn't mean to talk to the other party, and walked straight to his own path.
"Big brother, wait! help me!"
Xiao Nan continued to walk, without looking back, and asked, "What can I help you?"
"I'm from Jingcheng, and I have a few servants. Yesterday I met thieves, and they were very evil towards me, and I escaped because my servants were dead. The mountain is high and the road is dangerous, I ran for a day, and I couldn't find the way out....... ”
"I don't know where I'm going, where I'm going. Xiao Nan replied without waiting for her to finish.
What he said was not a lie, not to mention that if he brought her with him, he would have harmed him, and he had met hundreds of people who chased and killed him.
Lu Miaoying heard him reply, and her heart calmed down a lot, but she was a little suspicious, "Am I not beautiful?" But as soon as this thought came to her, she almost laughed out loud, "How is it possible!"
"Big brother, take me, I'm getting more and more scared alone. She was pleased with the tone of pity she had put on her.
"Don't follow me, it will make you more dangerous!" Xiao Nan's voice was cold.
"Why?" Lu Miaoying asked, suddenly feeling that something was wrong around her, and she seemed to smell a faint fragrance that was extraordinary, coming and going.
She looked nervously around, but found nothing.
Her vigilance was correct, because just about ten meters away from the two of them, there was a woman with an invisible figure, she was none other than Shangguan Yun who had gone down the mountain in vain.
Earlier, Shangguan Yun followed Xiao Nan incognito.
