The two climbed up the bluestone steps one after the other, and they didn't feel how to go down the mountain, but they had to stand on the top of the mountain to find that this place was actually very wide, and a well-guarded two-entry courtyard was located in the middle, surrounded by pines and cypresses, but it also revealed a bit of atmosphere and solemnity.

Xia Mingyi's face immediately became a little more respectful, but the young man in white frowned, his feet did not stop, and he directly passed the guards who bowed their heads and entered the courtyard.

In the hall of the main room, a burly middle-aged man was standing silently with his hands behind his back. Xu heard the sound of footsteps, and he suddenly turned his head, revealing a grim face like a knife, and his eyes flashed fiercely, as if he could freeze people in an instant.

Xia Mingyi looked so arrogant in front of people, but as soon as he saw this middle-aged man, he immediately knelt down on his knees, and after kowtowing, he trembled and said, "Sect Leader Wan'an, my subordinate Xia Mingyi is here to deliver the task." ”

The middle-aged man is the legendary Maitreya master who sees the head and the end of the dragon, and he usually wears a mask, and only people who are very trusted by him can occasionally see his true face. At this moment, he actually took off his mask and stood here waiting, Xia Mingyi was so excited that it was indescribable.

"Get up," the middle-aged man said lightly, stretching out his hand to help him.

Xia Mingyi kowtowed again because of this sentence, and then respectfully reported, "Sect leader Hongfu, my subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored." ”

"Oh, I received the news from you earlier that Shun Lì got the seal, and it was hard work." The middle-aged man didn't know what he thought, his eyes were bright, and he rarely praised, "You are the most powerful person in the sect, and I have written down this credit." Hand over the seal, go down and get ten Qi Pills and rest. ”

When Xia Mingyi heard this reward, his voice trembled with joy. The Yiqi Pill is a unique elixir in the Maitreya Sect, and it is said that it was pondered and prepared by a friend of the sect leader, a miracle doctor, and countless precious medicinal materials were used. Eating one pill can increase the power of five successes and last for an hour, which is tantamount to half a life for him. After all, when fighting, many of them are evenly matched, and it would be good if they could fill in a point of help, let alone a full five points, it would be an overwhelming victory.

"Thank you for the reward, my subordinates will definitely do their best in the future!" As he spoke, he glanced at the silent white-clothed young man next to him with some embarrassment.

The middle-aged man was extremely shrewd, and when he saw this, he didn't know the reason, so he waved his hand and said, "You go down first." ”

Xia Mingyi was like being amnestied, and hurriedly took a few steps back, then turned around and hurriedly left. He also has some status in the sect, and he has heard a thing or two about the rumors that the sect leader and the young master's father and son are not compatible, of course, he will not be stupid enough to stay, and he is caught in the middle of a dilemma.

Sure enough, the young man in white glanced at the fact that there was no one in the hall anymore, and immediately asked, "What about my mother, is she in good health?" ”

The middle-aged man frowned and scolded, "A man puts great things first, and he always thinks about a woman, how can I rest assured that I will entrust you with the important things in the teaching?" ”

"A woman?" The young man in white was even more annoyed when he heard this, his face darkened significantly, and he squeezed out between his teeth word by word, and asked, "The woman in your mouth is my mother!" Why is it wrong for me to be concerned about her as a son of man? But father, should you also fulfill the responsibility of a husband, my mother is your wife! ”

The middle-aged man seemed to be extremely reluctant to mention this topic, waved his hand impatiently, and asked separately, "What about the seal, but on you, show it to me!" ”

The young man in white reached into his arms, took out the simple ring, remembered the events of that day, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, but when he looked up, he still looked cold, "Something, I got it back." What about you, isn't it time to visit my mother? ”

The middle-aged man stretched out his right hand, snatched the ring from his son's hand like lightning, looked carefully with burning eyes, and said perfunctorily in his mouth, "You go down the mountain first, and I'll arrive later." ”

The young man in white was extremely angry, and when he was about to speak, the middle-aged man was already shouting to the guards outside the door, "Gather the four protectors and discuss important matters!" ”

"Yes, Master." The guards agreed and dispersed to deliver the letter, and the young man in white looked at his father, who was already a little half-crazy with the ring, but he still didn't say anything, turned around and went down the mountain.

The snow-covered mountains in winter are somewhat impressive. Under the white snow, the occasional black rocks, coupled with the pines and cypresses that are proud of the wind and frost, form an ink-like painting. A few unknown birds flew across the sky, and their calls crossed the quiet mountain forest, a different kind of leisure.

But the young man in white had no intention of appreciating this qiē, his feet were fast, ignoring the salutes and greetings of those who went up the mountain, and he wanted to visit his sick mother earlier.

When he left that day, she was no longer able to move, and leaned on the bed all day, and now I don't know if there is some improvement.

However, God may forget to go out with compassion today. As soon as the young man in white walked into the small courtyard on the west side of the villa, he heard the screams of maids in the house.

For some reason, his heart shrank suddenly, and a few dodges rushed into the half-open room.

In the elegantly and simply furnished room, a maid was standing beside the bed at a loss and screaming, a blue and white porcelain bowl was tumbling on the carpet, and the medicinal juice that exuded a strong bitter smell was sprinkled on the carpet, and it was still steaming with a faint white heat.

On the bed with a pale blue curtain, the withered woman was breathless.

The young man in white had weak legs, and he suddenly knelt on the ground and couldn't move, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, he struggled to crawl to the side of the bed, and gently hugged the lady and called, "Mother, I'm back." Your brother Bao is back, what's wrong with you, open your eyes and look at me. ”

However, the woman did not respond to the call of the young man in white, and only stared at the door with a pair of dull eyes, and refused to close.

The maid may have come back to her senses a little at this time, although she was extremely frightened in her heart, she still had the courage to whisper and persuade, "Young master, madam... Madame, this is the go. After speaking, she seemed to be afraid that the young man in white would complain about her poor service, so she quickly explained, "Madame said that she wanted to lie down by herself for a while, and the slave maid went to the stove to boil the medicine. The slave didn't mean to be in front of her..."

As if he didn't hear her words, the young man in white stretched out a finger and tried it on the front of the woman's nose, and the next moment he screamed in pain, "Mother! ”

The maid was so frightened that her hands and feet were weak, and she wanted to run out while holding on to the table and chairs. In the entire church, from top to bottom, no one knows that the young master is the most filial to his mother, and he has argued with the master countless times for his mother. Now that his mother has passed away, he doesn't know how to go crazy. If she stays with her, she's just looking for death!

The little maid planned very well, and she was also smart, but unfortunately, before she could reach the door, she was kicked to the ground by a strong force, and a big foot stepped on her face mercilessly, "Say, has he come to see my mother?" Say! ”

The little maid was frightened and stunned, and for a while she didn't know who the killing god was asking, so she could only cry while begging for mercy, "The young master spares his life, the slave and the maid really don't know, the slave and the maid don't know who has come?" ”

The young man in white had blood-red eyes, and turned his head to look at his mother, who was not blinking, her eyes were obviously looking at the door, and it was self-evident what she hoped for before she died.

"Get out, you go and tell that man, if he doesn't come within a quarter of an hour, I'll kill him and bury him with my mother!"

The little maid was frightened half to death, and when the feet on her face moved away, she ran out with a rolling belt, and when she got out of the yard, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her brain turned back, and finally understood that the person in the young master's mouth was the sect leader, so she hurriedly climbed up the mountain with her hands and feet again, and ran to report it.

The young man in white hugged his mother, who had become cold, tears flowed into a river, and his mouth unconsciously muttered, "Mother, my son is back, and my son has come back with the seal." The man said, "As long as I get the seal, he will come to see you." Mother, you wait, you must wait, he will be here soon! ”

It's a pity that he has been holding his mother and saying it countless times, but the person has never appeared. The winter sun was extremely faint, shining through the door, and the shadows of the tables and chairs began to move eastward little by little, and the whole courtyard seemed to have become an abandoned child.

The young man in white finally stood up from the head of the bed, the numbness of his knees making him stagger, but he seemed to be unconscious.

"Mother, that man broke his promise again, you must be used to it. But the son is the one who hates the most who does not keep his promise, he promised, but he did not do it. Wait, my son will go to the mountains, and he will be sent on his way with you!" ”

As he spoke, he pressed his belt very calmly, and the software coiled around his waist popped out, and the snow-white blade shone with a dazzling light.

The little maid was standing in a circle outside the courtyard before, and she really didn't know how to get in and get back. The sect leader was convening the Dharma protectors to discuss important matters, and she couldn't even enter the door, so she finally begged the guards to go in, but the reply she got was, "Thick burial!" ”

Not to mention asking the master to come out, there is not a single word left. She really didn't know how to deal with the young master, so she had to grind like this.

She was wondering if she should hide where to avoid the limelight first, but the young man in white walked out with a long sword in his hand. The little maid was immediately so frightened that she fell to the ground, and hurriedly kowtowed to explain, "Young master, the slave maid has gone up the mountain, and she has really gone up the mountain." The sect leader is in business and trade, and orders to bury the lady..."

The young man in white was even more cold when he heard this, but he asked about another thing, "Is my mother used to your service on weekdays, and does she still like you?" ”

The little maid didn't know why, but she still nodded and replied cautiously, "Madame often praises slaves and maids for their dedication." ”

"That's good." The young man nodded, smiled coldly, and the little girl raised her head and was about to say something more, but the next moment, a touch of coolness suddenly flashed through her neck, and the sharp blade had already cut through her throat.

"You continue to serve my mother under the Nine Springs." The young man in white said lightly, and at the end he ignored the corpse of the little maid who fell down, and continued to walk towards the mountain with his sword. R638
