Chapter 5: The Swordsman

Yuntian Palace, in the huge hall, stands eight huge stone pillars carved with auspicious clouds and beasts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At the end of the info hall, a ten-foot-tall character for "Dao" was suspended in the air. Below, five figures sat upright on chairs.

Among them, an old man with a white beard wearing a lotus crown, wearing a gossip robe, and a peaceful face, sitting in the middle of the five people, is the true person of the Swordsman Sect Sect Qingxuan.

On the left, two middle-aged men sit next to him. One of them was wearing a scarf, with a handsome face, and a little more free and easy between his eyebrows, which was the first Xiaoyaozi of Mu Chunfeng of the Five Peaks of the Swordsman Sect. The other man wearing the crown of the Five Peaks, with a cold and handsome face, and a faint hint of evil aura between his eyebrows, was the first Cangxuan real person of the Five Peaks of the Swordsman Sect.

On the right, a man and a woman sit next to him. Among them, the man was slightly chubby and had an indifferent face, which was the first cloud machine of the Qingzhu Peak of the Five Peaks. Another woman, wearing a Taoist robe, her face was indifferent, and she looked like she was rejecting people thousands of miles away, and she was none other than the first Meiyue Master of Yunxia Peak, one of the five peaks.

Among them, Yunxia Peak is the only peak vein in the Swordsman Sect that only accepts female disciples.

Beside each of the five people, there was a disciple on his left and right. About ten zhang away from the five people, a young man dressed in a Confucian shirt with a face like a crown of jade stood behind the chair, and next to him, a young man followed closely behind, it was Wang Yufeng.

"Master Xiaosheng, nephew, you come on behalf of his master, and you can sit on it with me. Qing Xuan Zhenren said to the man in the Confucian shirt with a smile on his face.

"Back to the master, although the nephew came on behalf of the master, it is not really the master himself, this is not in line with the etiquette, please forgive me. ”

"In that case, I can't force it, so I'll wait for a while. ”

Not long after, two figures came to the door, it was Li Ruhai and Chen Yifan. At this time, Chen Yifan's face was still full of shock, which showed how much shock he had along the way.

"Back to the head of the sect, the disciple has brought people to. ”

"Well, Ruhai, you go down. Qing Xuan Zhenren nodded. I saw Li Ruhai walking straight behind the chubby Taoist.

Qingxuan Zhenren looked at Chen Yifan, and then at Wang Yufeng, at this time, Wang Yufeng hurriedly stood side by side with Chen Yifan in the hall, and pulled Chen Yifan to worship Qingxuan Zhenren, "I'll wait to meet the old immortal grandfather."

"Hehehe, I'm not an immortal, you two little babies can talk, get up, don't be so polite. ”

"Thank you, old fairy grandfather".

At this time, Chen Yifan asked with an anxious face: "Old Immortal Grandpa, how are my parents and the villagers?"

As soon as these words came out, Qing Xuan Zhenren's face turned straight, and he said slowly: "We have exhausted the Dao method, but because your father and mother and the villagers have all the essence and blood around them, and the soul in the body has been out of the body for many days, we are powerless, so we have to put them in the ground." ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yifan and Wang Yufeng's bodies shook and fell to the ground dangerously. The hopes of the past few days were all in vain, and the blow to my heart was evident. "Dare to ask the old immortal, how did my parents and the villagers invite disasters?" Wang Yufeng said in a trembling voice.

"It should be someone who forcibly took away the essence and blood of the whole body from the body with a demon method or its magic weapon, which caused your father and mother and the villagers to suffer this misfortune. ”

"Who is the murderer? I wait for the souls of my parents to be reincarnated?" Wang Yufeng has read a lot, but he also understands what happens after the death of some people.

"At the moment, we have not found out who the killer is, this person is very secretive and has not left any traces. As for whether your parents and the people in the village can be reborn, after some calculations, the result we get is that you will fall into eternal reincarnation and cannot be transcended. ”

As Qing Xuan Zhenren said word by word, Chen Yifan and Wang Yufeng's faces became more and more pale, especially the last sentence, eternal reincarnation, no transcendence.

"Dare to ask the old immortal grandfather, can my parents and villagers hope to be reincarnated?" Chen Yifan said with a pale face.

"There is little hope, unless you find that person or that Dharma artifact, and then use the supreme mantra of Buddhism to transcend it, otherwise, there is no other possibility. ”

With the landing of the last word, Chen Yifan and Wang Yufeng couldn't help but be deeply confused in their eyes, and the whole person was even more like losing their souls.

"Ruhai, take them down to rest. ”

"Disciple, obey the order. ”

With the departure of Chen Yifan and Wang Yufeng, there was silence in the main hall. After a long time, the man in the Confucian shirt spoke: "Uncles, since the matter has come to an end, when my junior brother's emotions calm down, we will leave, so that we can go back to the master and tell me the details." ”

"Since that's the case, then I'll leave you soon, bring a message to your master for me, this matter, my Swordsman Sect will definitely investigate it in detail, if you have any news over there, please come and tell me quickly." ”

"Since this matter concerns my junior brother, the sect will definitely not stand idly by, if there is any news, the senior nephew will definitely come to inform the senior uncle in person. After saying that, he bowed to the crowd and departed.

"Senior brothers, what do you think about this matter?" Qingxuan Zhenren asked as he watched the young man in Confucian shirt leave.

"Senior brother in charge, this matter is too strange. ”

"Oh, Senior Brother Xiaoyao, what do you think?"

"I can't talk about it, it's just that I personally think that the place where this incident happened is so close to the sect, aren't you afraid that we will find out?"

"Senior Brother Xiaoyao, what do you think?"

"I think," Xiaoyaozi said word by word, "This matter seems to have been done by someone in the sect." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone around them changed color, and Mrs. Mei Yue even lost her mouth and said, "Impossible." ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at Mei Yue, and when they saw everyone looking at them, Mei Yue said coldly: "Do you think I did it!"

Qing Xuan Zhenren said with a wry smile: "Senior sister, you think about it too much, how can we think that you did this, it's just that you just said categorically, I was a little surprised." ”

"Hmph, I have a basis for saying this," Mei Yue said coldly, "All of my disciples have practiced my Taoist supreme true method, and their minds are even more stable, and the sect's restrictions are so strict, they can't go down the mountain without a handwritten edict, so how can they do such a heart-wrenching act." As for the five of us, they used to get together to comprehend the Supreme Dao, and they didn't have time to go down the mountain at all, so it was even more impossible to do this. ”

After listening to Master Mei Yue's analysis, everyone nodded, "What do you think, junior sister?" "I think, could it be that family was born?"

Everyone couldn't help but change their faces when they heard "that family", and after a long time, Qingxuan Zhenren said in a deep voice: "This is impossible, that family has not manifested in the world for a thousand years, and besides, according to the style of that family, this matter will definitely not be so clean and neat." ”

After hearing this, everyone nodded thoughtfully, "This matter must be strictly investigated, otherwise it will damage the reputation of our faction, and it will be a big matter to the orphans of Daqing Village and the unjust souls of the village." After passing the order, Yun Tianfeng and Hui Shoufeng each sent three disciples to the surrounding villages to investigate. As soon as the words fell, the disciple behind Qingxuan Zhenren replied: "Obey the master's orders." ”

Qing Xuan Zhenren nodded, and said to Cang Xuan Zhenren on the side: "Senior Brother Cangxuan, you must also strictly investigate the inside of the sect, and you must not let go of any clues. "Obey the law of the senior brother in charge."

"The two children just now, one was raised by Confucianism, and the other was raised by my Taoist. I don't know all the junior disciples, who of you will take him as an apprentice?"

Qingxuan Zhenren, looking around and seeing that no one made a statement, he said slightly, "I have not accepted apprentices for many years, so let's do it, Senior Brother Yunji, how about you accept it?" First, you have the least disciples, and second, the child just now was also discovered by your eldest disciple, and it is also related to you, I don't know what you think?"

"Obey the decree of the senior brother in charge," the chubby Taoist priest said in a muffled voice.

"Senior Brother Yunji, I know that your disciples are withering, and you have always wanted to accept a qualified apprentice to pass on your mantle, but when you practice, qualifications are important, but your own efforts should not be underestimated. ”

"Obey the teachings of my brother. Seeing this, Qingxuan Zhenren couldn't help but shake his head.

"You have all seen it just now, the great disciple of Confucianism, in just a few years, his cultivation has grown to this point, and the newly accepted disciple, not only has Confucian roots at a young age, but also the Confucian entry sign Haoran righteousness has also emerged in him, this has never been practiced, and the great competition of the sect after three years is really worrying. ”

Qingxuan Zhenren continued: "I want to be the patriarch of my sect, the Shangqing people overwhelmed the crowd three thousand years ago, leading my Daomen to rush to the leader of the righteous path in one fell swoop, and its leadership position was as long as two thousand years, but a thousand years ago, the righteous path and the demon path fought a decisive battle, although I won the righteous path in that battle, but in that battle, all the elites of my Dao sect were lost, and my Dao sect also fell into a third-rate force, and after a thousand years of recuperation, my Daomen gradually climbed to the top of the power, but the leader of the righteous path was occupied by Confucianism. In 3,000 years, the position of head of the sect has passed to me, and I am already the ninth generation. However, so far, I have not led the Daomen to the leadership position in one fell swoop. Alas. Qing Xuan Zhenren said with a lonely expression.

"Brother in Charge"

"You don't have to say anything, Haosheng taught his disciples, Senior Brother Cangxuan, the criminal law you are in charge of must strictly investigate this matter. Don't chill people's hearts. ”

"Senior brother, you will not be dishonored. ”

"Alright, everyone, let's disperse. ”

The mountain behind the Yuntian Palace, Yuntian Peak.

In the ancestral hall of the patriarch, Qingxuan Zhenren is holding sandalwood and is pouring incense into the incense burners. The spirit card is arranged in a stepped shape, and a seven-foot-long portrait hangs on the wall at the top, in the painting, a man carries a fairy sword, steps on the clouds, looks at his back, and the stone statue next to the Yuntian Palace is very imaginary. Looking at the swordsman ancestor, Qingxuan Zhenren, was silent for a long time.
