Chapter 30: Birthday
Chapter 30: Birthday
It has been half a month since the end of the trial of the Eight Immortals Alliance, and most of Duan Muya's injuries have been healed, after returning to Chiyanju, the previous days of Qing cultivation were quite pleasant, and he practiced morning classes with the third senior brother, discussed the exercises with the senior sister, and played games with the master. It's just that it hasn't been a few days since the news www.biquge.info of the Burning Heaven Palace came, and the birthday of Pope Fu Qian, the head of Xianpengyu, was approaching, and the Xuanhuo Palace and Xianpengyu had always been good friends, so they naturally wanted to send someone to congratulate him. However, the emperor asked Le Sheng to go by name, and he talked about the old feelings, which made Le Sheng quite a headache.
Inside the Burning Heaven Temple
Liyan Zhenren and Le Sheng stood facing each other, and Liyan Zhenren had an invitation sent by Huangfu Qian in his hand.
"Senior brother, you see that this old friend of the emperor is so gracious, what should we do?" asked Liyan Zhenren as he played with the invitation card in his hand.
Le Sheng looked embarrassed, after all, in the past, there were masters who celebrated their birthdays, and they were all second-generation disciples who went to congratulate each other on their behalf, and there was no talk of congratulatory greetings from peers. Now Huang Fuqian wants to go by himself, and if he goes, he thinks that he is inferior, and if he doesn't go, he will inevitably end up with an old friend, but he will shirk the notoriety in every possible way. Thinking of this, Le Sheng had to sigh lightly and said: "Senior brother, don't make fun of me anymore, this old ghost of Huangfu is hundreds of years old, how can he not know these etiquettes, this invitation is just deliberately teasing me." ”
Seeing that Le Sheng said this, Liyan Zhenren just smiled faintly, and said in a harmonious voice: "Senior brother, you and that Huangfu Taoist friend can be regarded as old friends, and when it comes to this generation, he is also our predecessor." It's just that for the sake of the brother, I will not let the junior brother go to Xianpengyu to celebrate his birthday, and you can be relieved, junior brother. ”
Seeing that Liyan Zhenren had no intention of letting him go in person, Le Sheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: This old ghost of Huangfu is really getting older and more confused.
Leaving the Flame True Human Le Sheng thoughtfully, he asked, "Senior brother, but there are already arrangements?"
Le Sheng smiled when he heard this: "Hmph, since this old ghost is disrespectful to the old, then I don't have to be polite to him, I thought that this birthday would let Xuanqi bring a generous gift." In this way, let Mu Ya do the work for him. ”
Liyan Zhenren was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Le Sheng to be angry with Huangfu Qian. It's just that considering Duan Muya's special identity, if he goes to celebrate his birthday this time, if he is seen by Xianpengyu, he will naturally end up the incident, and he is a little hesitant for a while.
Seeing that Senior Brother Zhang's brother didn't speak for a long time, Le Sheng also understood a little in his heart, but naturally he was not easy to pick out, so he had to smile and say: "Okay, this trip to Xianpengyu, let's ask Luo Xin to do it for you." ”
"No need!" said with a wave of his hand.
"What, does Senior Brother have other plans? Or is it Mu Yahe..."
"Master Duan's nephew is going to participate in the Eight Immortals Alliance in a year, this time he went to Xianpengyu to experience it, it is better than cultivating in the mountains, after all, the disciples who go to celebrate his birthday must also be outstanding talents of various sects, Mu Ya's trip is not only to sharpen himself, but also to observe the outstanding disciples of other sects. As the saying goes, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky, I think Mu Ya also understands this truth. ”
Le Sheng smiled indifferently when he heard this, Huangfu Qian, a hundred-year-old man, has never held a birthday banquet for decades, and besides, people who cultivate the truth have long regarded the things of their age lightly, and old-timers like him have long since stopped paying attention to these worldly etiquette, and they are afraid of this birthday, and they also want to take the opportunity to take a look at the outstanding disciples of various sects.
Seeing that Le Sheng was just smiling and silent, Liyan Zhenren continued: "Senior brother, you have always been good friends with that Huangfu Daoist, if you can't come to the scene in person, you will naturally ask Duan's nephew to do it for you, but I, as a senior brother, can't miss the courtesy, so this trip, I plan to ask Ziyao to go with Mu Ya, do you think it's good?"
Ziyao is the most outstanding disciple of Xuanhuo Palace in the past twenty years, and there is no problem in participating in Huangfu Qian's birthday banquet on behalf of Xuanhuo Palace, and Ziyao's path is far above Duan Muya, this trip has Ziyao's support, and Le Sheng can also put his mind at ease. ”
Liyan Zhenren picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Le Sheng, and said in a harmonious voice: "In this case, let them make some preparations as soon as possible, and go to Xianpengyu in three days." ”
The big thing has been decided, Le Sheng and Liyan Zhenren exchanged a few words and then turned back to Chiyanju, but after Le Sheng left, a figure slowly appeared again.
"Senior brother, don't you think it's a little strange that the old emperor's slippery head is about to celebrate his birthday?" Li Yan walked out slowly, and his red hair looked very dazzling in this hall.
Liyan Zhenren was not in a hurry to answer, but just tasted the tea in the cup carefully, and said quietly: "Senior brother, Huangfu Daoyou is also an old-timer in my cultivation realm, such a tone, but there is something inappropriate." ”
The corners of Liyan's mouth moved slightly, and he snorted lightly: "This old slippery head, when my Xuanhuo Palace was in trouble, he came to offer condolences on the surface, but in fact, he took advantage of our lack of time to secretly send someone to secretly investigate the affairs of Southern Xinjiang. If he hadn't been hit by me, he would have been reluctant to give up easily. Now that the Eight Immortals Alliance is approaching, what kind of birthday banquet is suddenly going to be held, it is just to explore our reality and reality. After that, Li Yan snorted coldly again, as if he was very disdainful of Huang Fuqian.
Back then, the Xuantian Five Sages had a sudden accident, and the entire cultivation world could be said to be shaking like the earth and the mountains, after all, the Xuanhuo Palace was the number one sect in cultivation, and the sudden misfortune made the other sects even more shocked. Huangfu is the head of Xianpengyu, and it is understandable to come to condole, but after all, Xuanhuo Palace is too close to southern Xinjiang, and there are some secrets that are not known to the world. In the name of condolences, Huangfu Qian actually secretly explored the mystery of the sudden death of the five saints of Xuantian, so that he discovered many secrets of the southern Xinjiang enchantment. What Liyan said, Liyan Zhenren is naturally well aware, but now the eight major sects are harmonious, and the old things of a hundred years ago can only be turned a blind eye.
"This time, the senior brother actually agreed to allow Duan Muya to go to Xianpengyu to celebrate his birthday, I'm afraid there is another deep meaning. The two were silent for a long time, but Li Yan was the first to ask.
Liyan Zhenren seemed to be deaf, but shook his head slightly and said, "Over the years, you and I have been brothers and sisters, when did my brother hide it from you?"
Seeing this, Li Yan didn't ask any more questions, changed his words, and said in a harmonious voice: "Now that the situation in southern Xinjiang is tense, the border enchantment is crumbling, and I don't know what happened to the demon clan in southern Xinjiang, there will be such an earth-shattering change." Over the years, I have secretly visited, and I have not found any clues, and next year will be the period of the Eight Immortals Alliance, when the other seven sects will gather in Luofengxia, and it will be a matter of time before I learn about the enchantment of southern Xinjiang, and when the time comes, those people will still be in harmony with us, but it is unknown. Let's not talk about the old ghost of Huangfu, I think that except for Tianqin Yuan and Alchemy Hall, other sects may not do something unseemly behind their backs. ”
The loosening of the southern Xinjiang barrier means that the barrier from Middle-earth to southern Xinjiang will no longer exist, and this gateway to southern Xinjiang is firmly controlled by the Xuanhuo Palace, and over time it has become the privacy of the Xuanhuo Palace. It's just that other sects also know the existence of this Southern Xinjiang Phantom Spring, a hundred years ago, the five saints of Xuantian died suddenly, and the cultivation world was rumored for a while, among which the most rumored is that these five people found the secret method to enter the southern Xinjiang, resulting in no return. Even though the new head of the sect Li Yan tried his best to justify it, saying that the master and the other five people had made a mistake when they were referring to the Heavenly Machine's intention to ascend, but in the end, those who believed this statement were afraid that they would not be in the majority. In short, in the past thousand years, the gateway to southern Xinjiang is about to be opened for the first time, and anyone who hears about it will be moved.
Liyan Zhenren naturally knew all kinds of dangers, but he also suffered from not having a perfect solution, so he had to say in a harmonious voice: "Senior brother, how can you not know what you are worried about as a brother, this time Huangfu Daoyou's birthday, I will leave a letter and let Ziyao transfer it to him for me, Huangfu Daoyou is a great talent, seeing what is written in the letter, you can naturally understand my intentions, you can rest assured"
Chiyan is inside
Le Sheng and Liu Xuanqi, Luo Xin, and Duan Muya's senior siblings explained many matters during Huangfu Qian's birthday, and to Liu Xuanqi and Luo Xin's expectations, the master in charge actually agreed to the little junior brother who had just started for five years as a representative, but he was more worried about this little junior brother who had to face such a big battle when he went out for the first time.
The news of Huangfu Qian's birthday has spread throughout the Xuanhuo Palace, and there are many rumors that it is very likely that the person who went to congratulate him this time will be the successor of the next head of the sect, after all, Huangfu Qian is the oldest qualified and most prestigious old-timer in the current cultivation realm, and he has never had a longevity in a hundred years. Therefore, whoever can go to celebrate his birthday this time must be the person who is most valued by the master in the sect, and he is naturally a popular candidate for the successor of the head of the sect.
After Ziyao and Duan Muya were selected as candidates for the birthday, the disciples began to discuss one after another. Ziyao Tianzong is a genius, and in less than twenty years, he has already mastered the method of burning the sky and ignorant fire, and no one can match him among the new generation of disciples, plus Liyan Zhenren and Li Tong both trust him a lot, so Ziyao went to congratulate him on his birthday, but it was expected by everyone. It's just that why you want to take Duan Muya there, it's even more impressive. What's more, he even used Le Sheng's preference for wandering as a talking point, and compiled the absurd remarks that Duan Muya was actually Le Sheng's private son.
Although Duan Muya said that he had a clear conscience, he was still a little angry after hearing these rumors, but after it reached Li Tong's ears, the rumors gradually subsided, and the time came to the date when Ziyao and Duan Muya set off for Xianpengyu. The two rushed to the Burning Heaven Hall early in the morning, Liyan Zhenren and Le Sheng carved the thousand-year-old incense branch wood gift given to Huang Fuqian into a longevity peach and handed it over to Ziyao, this longevity peach does not know who is from the hand, from a distance, it is the same as the real one, it is really ingenious. Since it was the first time for Duan Muya to go far away, Le Sheng asked him again before letting the two go down the mountain.
