"Can't believe it?" Liu Xuanji glanced at An Lan coldly, and said what she was thinking.

An Lan smiled faintly: "It's a bit of an accident." ”

Liu Xuanji squinted slightly, looked at the jade tree outside the corridor, moved over, broke off an ice ridge, and played with it: "The incense hall has always been right and wrong, please do not enter." She didn't seem to be afraid of the cold, holding the ice cube in her hand and gently knocking on the branch next to her, the snow on the branch was shaken off a little, and drifted into the corridor along the wind, "Lan girl, seven incense halls, which incense halls have you entered so far?"

An Lan followed the snowflakes silently, the seven incense halls, except for the Tianshu Palace, the other six halls she had not all set foot in.

Indeed, the incense hall has always been a non-enter, non-non-swimming, and furthermore, the distance between the two incense halls is not like the neighbors of the neighborhood. For example, the Tianshu Hall and the Kaiyang Hall are separated by almost a small hill, and the mountain stone is a natural barrier, while the distance between the Tianshu Hall and the Shaking Light Hall is even farther, and the mountain road between the two halls must pass is steep, and it is inconvenient to walk.

Liu Xuanji threw away the ice cube in his hand, led An Lan out of the corridor, climbed the stone pavilion on higher ground, and raised his hand to point in the direction: "Look at that place, if you build a road there, you can connect Tianji Palace, Tianshu Palace, Kaiyang Palace, Yuheng Hall and Tianxuan Palace." And as long as this road is successfully built, the location of Yunyin Tower will become very important, and you have chosen a good place for the incense envoy. ”

An Lan watched silently, she knew better than Liu Xuanji, if that road could be cultivated, the biggest benefit would actually be the Tianshu Palace, as long as you take a closer look at the topography of the Changxiang Hall now, if you add that road, it will be enough to make the Tianshu Hall the real center of the Seven Great Incense Palaces.

Liu Xuanji wiped the ice water in her hand and gently hooked the hair flying around her ears: "But why has this road not been able to start for so many years? Do you know the reason?"

"Because the Tianji Palace has always been opposed to this, for example, although the Jiji Hall has been jointly controlled by several great incense masters of the Changxiang Hall today, the power of the Daomen is still there, and the influence is still there. When An Lan said this, she was silent for a moment before continuing, "Even if you put aside the opinions of the Daomen, the rest of the Great Incense Masters may not necessarily agree, will they." ”

An Lan glanced at Liu Xuanji as she spoke, her expression faint.

The Heavenly Pivot Hall has already made the other six halls jealous, but because there are natural barriers between each hall, they have always been able to maintain a minimum balance between each other. If those natural barriers are suddenly broken, and the power of the Tianshu Hall can enter the halls smoothly at any time, then the equality between the great incense masters will definitely be broken, and the seven halls of the Changxiang Hall will eventually be grouped into one hall.

This is not as simple as building a road on the mountain, if this road is completed, it will represent the power of the Heavenly Pivot Hall in the future, and it will truly stand on top of the other six halls.

Liu Xuanji smiled: "Indeed, but now the situation has changed, so everyone's attitude may also change." ”

An Lan glanced at her again: "What does Mr. Liu mean is that if the Daomen really elevates Chuan Lian to the position of the Great Incense Master of the Tianji Palace, the Daomen will start to build that road?"

Liu Xuanji said: "Judging from the topography, it is most appropriate to start construction from the Tianji Palace. ”

An Lan just nodded slightly, expressing approval.

Liu Xuanji squinted at her, and the charm between her eyebrows and eyes almost overflowed: "It is said that the two disciples sent by Li Laodao have just entered the Tianji Hall today, and they have come here to see for a long time, why do you think they came? Compared to those stinky old Daoists, sister, I would like you to take the lead in this matter." ”

An Lan raised her eyebrows slightly: "No matter who takes the lead in this matter, the result will be good for the Tianshu Palace, so why should I do it." ”

"Little girl, I've told you everything, you're still pretending to be stupid in front of me!I'm going to be angry!" Liu Xuanji sneered, paused, and then continued, "If Chuan Lian can really enter the Tianshu Palace, it is the two forces of Daomen and Southern Frontier Xianggu who join forces, do you think they are really just for the Tianji Palace, and they will give you such a big benefit afterwards?"

An Lan said: "The premise is that Chuan Lian can really sit on the position of the Great Incense Master. ”

Liu Xuanji smiled lightly: "That's right, but since this road has been seen by people for so many years, sooner or later it will be walked out one day." ”

An Lan looked ahead in silence.

Liu Xuanji retracted her gaze, turned around, raised her hand and patted her shoulder gently, and said softly: "Girl, I'm on your side~"

After she finished speaking, she walked out of the stone pavilion, looking a little cold and unbearable.

An Lan turned around, but said lightly behind her: "Mr. Liu, how can I be sure that you are not one of theirs?"

Liu Xuanji stood still, turned her head slowly, her red lips raised slightly, and she smiled enchantingly: "How to express your position is my business, and how to judge is your business." ”

After Liu Xuanji walked away, Lu Yuan, who had been waiting not far away, walked over: "Sir, the wind is blowing." ”

An Lan walked down the stone pavilion, looked at Liu Xuanji's back and asked, "Did you hear what she said just now?"

Lu Yuan said: "I heard a rough idea. ”

An Lan asked, "Do you think she can be trusted?"

Lu Yuan pondered for a while before he said: "My subordinates think that it is okay for Mr. to believe it, and regardless of whether Mr. Liu is sincere or not, just about Mr. Liu's statement today, Mr. believes it, and there is no need to pay any price at the moment, but if you don't believe it, it is equivalent to rejecting an excellent ally." ”

An Lan didn't say anything when she heard this, and Lu Yuan didn't say anything else all the way.

……

When An Lan returned to the main hall of the Tianji Palace, Li Daochang, Chuan Lian and others were already waiting in the hall.

For the seating arrangement of today's meeting, the Tianji Hall is also painstaking, the main seat of the main hall is not good to decide who should sit, was moved, replaced by a giant bronze tripod beast head incense burner, only to see white smoke like clouds, rising and rolling, the aroma is strong, the momentum is compelling.

The five great incense masters, Li Daochang and Chuan Lian and others, took the copper tripod incense burner as the standard, and sat down on both sides.

An Lan hadn't seen Daochang Li before, but when she heard his name, she thought that she would be an old man with fairy wind and bones, but she didn't want to be a thin old man who didn't look inconspicuous at all, and even the Dao robe on his body was a little white. When An Lan entered, he had not yet sat down, he was doing nothing with his hands, standing in front of the landscape painting that Jingchen had just admired, nodding his head incessantly, and exchanging a few words with the disciples next to him and Chuan Lian from time to time.

After An Lan entered, Chuan Lian turned his head to look at her, and his dark almost godless eyes couldn't show any emotion. When An Lan looked over, she bowed her head slightly, and there was no expression on her face.

Immediately, several disciples around Daoist Li also followed, but An Lan's gaze skipped them and fell directly on the inconspicuous old Dao. (To be continued.) )
