Tianxiang Hall, one of the fourteen halls of Zhou Tian, is above the Elder Mourning Hall of the North Hall of Jingyun Pavilion.

Mei Shuying put aside the incense, gave way to the left and stood on the left side of the spiritual seat set up in the hall, facing the rest of the Shocking Cloud Pavilion elders who followed him and came to Shangxiang.

The left and right protectors followed him and worshiped with three pillars of incense, and after inserting the incense into the furnace, he stood on both sides of Mei Shuying.

Elder Yu and the four elders of the east, south, and west held incense and worshiped at the same time, and stood left and right.

The rest of the hall masters, disciples, and feather guards all need to kneel and bow.

Mei Shuying stood in the upper left position on the side of the coffin with a folding fan in her hand, watching them worship one by one, she couldn't see too much emotion in her indifferent and impermanent eyes, her eyes seemed to be closed, and her eyes were quiet and quiet.

The hall master and the four elders remained, and the rest dispersed. Jiuli stepped forward and said to everyone in a flat voice.

Everyone should be, bowed to the person holding the jade fan, and then exited the mourning hall in an orderly manner.

For a while, the white skirt and black veil dispersed a lot, and there were more than a dozen people standing in the hall.

"Childe, you can command. Yingli glanced at everyone, and said to Mei Shuying.

The white clothes and black veils danced with the snow curtain, and the long figure of the man stood as leisurely as ever, standing on the side of the coffin very casually.

Looking at the treasure basin burning paper money and silver foil a few steps away, Mei Shuying's eyes drooped for a moment, and her expression was indifferent when she looked up.

"After the five elders and the fourteen hall masters received Zhu Mei's order to surprise the feather, it was not easy to overturn the messengers in Yuzhou, Youzhou, Qinzhou, Ningzhou, and Yingwang within two days. It's hard work. With a faint and faint smile on her face, Mei Shuying gently wrapped the folding fan in her hand and held it lazily in her hand.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Mei Shuying smiled and said: "It's just that the shadow network has been opposed to my Jingyun Pavilion for a long time, and its power has been deeply rooted for more than ten years, far more than the few letter shops found on the surface, I am afraid that there are no less than dozens of dark squares in the four places, and it is not easy to cut them one by one." As far as is known, the shadow network is headed by five people, called the shadow master, the shadow man, the shadow wood, the shadow blood, Shadow Stone, the master of this shadow is the master of the shadow network, coordinating the information hijacking and transmission of the shadow network, this person has already said, it is the current beggar gang leader Guo Xiaoyu, although he does not know martial arts, but he is scheming, step by step, he must not be underestimated; Shadow Wood is one of his henchmen, following left and right for a long time, according to investigation, it has the ability to hide and hide, and it is light and outstanding, it can be similar to harmless plants and trees in the mountains, and can hide in front of the enemy to teach people not to be aware, so it is called Shadow Wood; , Shadow Man, all of them are vicious people, Shadow Blood makes the sword poisonous, sees blood to seal the throat, eats blood and is cold, is a woman in black; ”

Mei Shuying slowly walked in front of the four elders and the fourteen hall masters, and shook her fan lightly: "Among the remaining four people in the shadow network, except for Guo Xiaoyu, the martial arts should not be low, and it is currently known that the shadow blood martial arts are above the elders of the North Hall, compared to the Nine Glass Protectors...... Jiuli said. ”

Jiu Li immediately stepped forward and continued: "The body is weird, and the sword moves are dedicated to the path of yin and evil, which makes people unguardable, but the internal breath is not strong, and the speed of the move has slowed down in the end, but the sword is quenched with poison, and you need to be extra careful, so it is difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior." ”

Mei Shuying nodded, and the faces of the dozen or so people in the hall were a little shocked, and Elder Dongli said bitterly: "Beitang, did you die under this person's sword?"

With a calm face, Jiu Li lowered his head and said, "It's just that Jiu Li is incompetent, although he rushed in time, he still couldn't save the elder of the North Hall." ”

"Then Beitang, he ......" Elder Dongli was about to ask again, but Mei Shuying had already interrupted him.

"Although the film network is headed by these five shadows, there is actually a person behind the scenes, and this person is very likely to ......"

"Pavilion Master, the death of the Elder of the North Hall, do you just not care about it at all!"

Everyone was shocked, and they all turned their heads to look at the gray-haired old man who was dressed in black clothes and standing beside the elder of the East Fence.

Yingli's face turned cold, and she looked directly at the old man: "Elder Nanshan." The voice was slight, and there was already a warning.

The gray-haired old man's chest rose and fell slightly, and after enduring it for a long time, he couldn't help but point at Mei Shuying and reprimanded: "With Beitang's martial arts, why was she killed by a woman lightly?!" No matter how powerful her shadow blood is, if Abei can be on guard, self-protection is always safe, if not...... If it weren't for ......"

Everyone figured out the key, and they all felt a little sad in their hearts, and bowed their heads silently.

Yingli's face was cold, and she said coldly: "Elder Nanshan, if you dare to speak presumptuously about your son, Yingli is welcome!"

Mei Shuying stood quietly on the side of the coffin in front of the spirit, looked down at the green jade fan in her hand, and said coldly: "Let him speak." ”

Seeing him with such a cold appearance, Nanshan finally couldn't help but scold: "You...... You white-eyed calf...... A Zhu Meiyu order came down, not mentioning anyone's nest to end, a few of us old immortals are lucky, thinking that it is just some kind of character who does not have long eyes to hinder your eyes, and I am angry, and I went without thinking about it, and I didn't encounter any shadows...... But Abei, however, collided with the shadow blood, and was defenseless, and lost his life in vain...... If you said it was the shadow network earlier, how could we not be cautious, how could he not be guarded! How could it be...... How could it be ......" At the end, the old voice was hoarse, and he couldn't help choking up: "A few of our old guys, one by one, are gone, first Xiao Su, Ah Lan, and now Ah Bei is gone...... You're a little calf...... I think we talk in front of you all day long, and when you walk clean, you can count your ears and eyes......"

Everyone felt touched and sad when they listened, and the corners of their eyes were slightly wet.

The person holding the fan alone lowered his eyes calmly, and he was leisurely and cold, as if he were ordinary.

Seeing that he finished speaking, Mei Shuying raised her head and raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Elder Nanshan has finished speaking......?" The shadow network has been grudge with me for ten years, and the cause is the death of Elder Su and Elder Lan mentioned by Elder Nanshan, when Elder Su had conducted an autopsy for the Moyi family, the lord of the martial arts who was destroyed for no reason, and then wanted to retreat south, but was killed on the way, this is the first time that Shadow Cloud Pavilion has contact with the shadow network......"

"You...... You little calf has really changed...... Elder Su and Elder Lan and a few of us...... They all watched you grow up, and today you mention them, and you don't feel ashamed......" The old man's eyes were red, and he cried tears under grief, and he didn't choose to speak: "If you weren't young and reckless, and let go of Xiao Su and Ah Lan behind the old pavilion master's back, they wouldn't be ...... on the road"

Shuangli was cold when he heard this, and his voice was cold and angry: "Elder Nanshan!"

"Let him speak!"

Everyone in the hall was shocked, and they didn't dare to raise their eyes to look at Mei Shuying.

The man in white and red plums said coldly: "I want to see if he can count the other ones after he counts them." ”

Mei Shuying sneered, looked at the old man in the lower position, and said a little coldly: "Maybe the numbers are falling and the numbers are falling, and my father will be able to climb out of the coffin board in anger, and lead the older generation to build the Shocking Cloud Pavilion again, expand and grow, become famous in the rivers and lakes, and kill all sides." Elder Nanshan, that's what you mean, right?"

When the old man heard this, the gray hair was so angry that he fluttered, his chest rose and fell even more, and he scolded in a straight voice: "You...... You...... You even dare to use it casually from the old pavilion master...... I'm ...... I want to whip you with a shoe board...... When I was a child, I was obviously cute...... The white and pure mouth is still sweet...... How did it become ...... now?"

The people around were stunned and angry, their faces were embarrassed, and they were speechless for a while.

Shuangli saw him scolding as if he was really going to come towards Mei Shuying, and both held their swords in front of Mei Shuying. At the same time, Yu Lao grabbed the gray-haired old man and said with relief: "It hasn't changed...... Xiaoying is still Xiaoying, except for a worse temper, everything else is the same as before. ”

"The same?!"

"Same. ”

"Are you blind or deaf?"

“…… Both. Yu Lao added: "But it's all before. ”

Elder Nanshan was dumbfounded.

The black-gauze woman who had been standing on the side for a long time glanced at Nanshan beside her, and said coldly: "Don't make trouble! Let the pavilion master finish speaking." ”

Yu Lao was silent, and Nanshan glared: "He said it now, why didn't he say this earlier?!"

Mei Shuying smiled when she heard this: "I said it earlier, I came to Ningzhou today to invite you to tea." ”

"That's better than incense guarding the coffin!"

"Yes. Mei Shuying smiled leisurely: "If Elder Nanshan is unwilling, you can go to the teahouse on the side to drink tea." ”

"You...... Are you driving me away, little calf?!" Elder Nanshan flicked his sleeves and walked out angrily: "You can't see me, this old guy, it's a big deal that I won't be this Elder Nan!"

Mei Shuying wrapped around the jade fan in her hand, and her long sleeves flicked lightly: "It's good to steal a floating life, listen to books and drink tea." Go ahead. ”

"You...... You!"

The woman in plain clothes and black yarn looked at Nanshan coldly and said: "The more you live, the more you go back, and you won't come back!"

Nanshan shouted: "Sister Xiyuan, listen to what this little calf said......"

"What a little calf! Don't forget who is the master of the Shocking Cloud Pavilion, he is so reckless when he is old, and what is the little shadow strong, Beitang's death is certainly sad, but it can't be without up and down. ”

"I'm ......," the gray-haired old man's voice was sad.

"Shut up and listen to the pavilion master's orders. Elder Xiyuan interrupted him coldly.

Mei Shuying raised her eyebrows slightly, knocked on the folding fan in her hand, and continued: "Then I will continue...... In recent years, the shadow network has frequently attacked my cloud pavilion, and at the same time, there are robberies of meteoric iron and silver grabbing, coupled with the rapid expansion of the beggar gang's power in secret, it can be seen that the shadow network is scheming, so if you start early, you can get rid of a hidden danger one step earlier...... In the remaining months, the Fourteenth Hall continued to track down the beggar gang, and at the same time remembered not to let them be involved with several other lines such as prostitutes, gambling, darts, etc., and at the same time, we still need to re-distribute this line, and the matter will be handed over to Yu Lao. ”

"Yes, the little old man wrote it down. ”

"Qingluan, flying falcons, herons, swallows and pheasants and other news come and go, except for Qingluan, who directly passed on to Yingli as usual, the others are still handled by the elders of Xiyuan. If there is any news from other dark shops on the shadow network, you don't need to report it to me, just tell the nearby branch hall and Yuwei to go over. ”

"Yes. ”

"The crossbow arrow that Jiuli brought back from the Goddess Sect, Elder Nanshan continued to investigate. At the same time, he assists the elders of the West Garden. ”

"Hmph. ”

"Elder Dongli here, concentrate on investigating the old case of the Moyi family, if there is a need for the cooperation of several other elders and the fourteen churches, it must not be violated. ”

"Yes. Everyone was a little confused, and although Elder Dongli was suspicious in his eyes, he still bowed his head and agreed.

"The affairs of the elders of the North Hall will be taken over by Jiuli for the time being, and if there is nothing else, they can be dispersed. ”

"Yes, Pavilion Master. ”

……

In the back hall, Mei Shuying pushed the door and closed the door, his face suddenly turned extremely white, he took a few steps forward with slight unsteady, and Huo Ran fell defenselessly on the couch in front of the bed.

Jiuli followed closely, and when she saw it, her face was shocked, and she immediately picked up the person from the couch and put him on the bed. "Childe, Childe!"

Raising Mei Shuying's wrist, he continuously lost the internal force.

Long.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Jiuli's forehead, and Mei Shuying slowly woke up. glanced sideways at Jiu Li, and closed his eyes again tiredly. My brain was groggy.

Seeing his cold and white face, Jiuli couldn't help but be extremely worried, and her shock was unspeakable.

“…… I smashed all the jade vases in the room. ”

Jiuli was stunned when she heard this: "Childe?"

Mei Shuying was lying on the couch, her lips were extremely white, she raised her eyes slightly, and her eyes were cold. "I don't have the strength right now...... You smash it for me. ”

Jiuli swallowed when she heard this, so she had to bow her head and respond: "...... Yes, Childe. ”

Yingli came from the back kitchen, and heard a ping-bang sound in Mei Shuying's room, and the sound of jade porcelain falling to the ground came and went, and he was immediately startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and pushed the door in.

"Childe ......?"

Jiuli lifted a pot of jade coral next to the bookcase and was about to fall to the ground, looked up and saw Yingli, and said embarrassedly: "...... It was Childe's orders. ”

Yingli was stunned for a moment, then didn't say much, and closed the door with her backhand.

Jiuli continued to smash.

"Childe, get up and drink the medicine. Yingli reached out to help Mei Shuying and fed the medicine.

Mei Shuying stretched out her hand to take it, closed her eyes and leaned back, and then casually dropped the bowl on the ground on the edge of the couch. "In the past, I used a dark line to contact Mo Ran, if this matter is learned by the shadow network, Mo Ran and my Amazing Cloud Pavilion will definitely be dangerous. Mei Shuying raised her eyes and glanced at Yingli: "There is news of him." ”

Yingli's face was solemn when she heard him mention Wen Moran, and at this moment she condensed her face slightly, nodded and said to him: "Mr. Wen was attacked several times on the way back to Beijing, and the Xiaocai battalion suffered heavy casualties. ”

Mei Shuying's cold face turned dark and tired, and her voice continued to be weak: "This is a favor...... The Astounding Cloud Pavilion will be returned to the Lord of Bining County in the future. ”

"Childe rests first...... The miasma in Childe's body has not been eliminated, and it is difficult for his body to resist for a long time without internal strength, and he has become weaker and weaker recently...... ...... go on like this."

Mei Shuying sneered, "It's just a little miasma, can you still ask for the life of this son?"

"Childe!" Yingli's eyes turned red, and she said: "Elder Beitang's death is not to blame Childe, Childe was conscious at that time, and ordered me to do everything I can before the beggars can react......

"Don't say it anymore...... Mei Shuying lowered her head and muttered softly, her eyes fixed on the broken porcelain jade piece on the ground, for a long time, and said in a low voice: "The death of the elder of the North Hall, this son will ask the shadow network for it." ”

"Childe ......" Yingli looked at him worriedly. "You forced yourself to be angry with Elder Nanshan in the mourning hall, but it was because ......"

The black gauze on his body has been faded by the nine glasses and hung on one side of the screen, and the man on the couch is white-clothed and beautiful, with red plums and bright colors, and his face is cold and white like mist, "If I don't mock him leisurely like usual, they will be worried, and I do this just to calm their hearts." ”

Yingli's heart froze, and her eyes drooped deeply. Son......

Mei Shuying was quiet for a long time, and suddenly muttered softly: "She ......"

Yingli's heart palpitated, and before he could ask more, he immediately replied: "Duanmu Sect Master's body is no longer in serious trouble, and so is Yunxiao Gongzi, Mo Ran has left Guiyun Valley and is heading in the direction of Luoyang. ”

The man in white nodded.

He didn't say anything more for a long time.

The wind outside the house blew and blew, and the sound of jade porcelain shattering continued...... I don't know how long it took, Mei Shuying lay down on her back, looked at the carved horizontal wood on the top of the bed and said slowly: "It's too noisy...... Let's go down. ”

"Yes, Childe. Yingli stopped Jiuli, and turned to the person on the couch: "I am guarding the door with Jiuli, and if the prince has any orders, call us over at any time." ”

When she heard no more answers, the woman got up and saw the man in white with his eyes closed, and she didn't know whether she was faint or asleep...... For a while, it was extremely painful and unspeakable.

Son......

The two of them quietly exited the room, leaving him alone in the couch.
