"Father. ”

In front of a quiet room, Hikawa lowered his eyebrows and exclaimed respectfully.

"What?"

An old voice came from the side room, and from the shadow of the door frame, it could be seen that the old man was probably dressing. There seemed to be a graceful body lying beneath him.

Hikawa Guanzhi sneered, but her voice was surprisingly calm, she put her hands on her waist and said, "Brother Higashiyama, it's dead." ”

"Death is death, don't spread the word about this matter, you go down first. ”

Hikawa Nakachu in the room got dressed and sat up, and said to Hikawa Guanzhi outside the door.

"Hey!"

With a grim smile on his face, Hikawa slowly walked out of the large courtyard.

In the middle of the day, you will die on a woman's belly sooner or later.

After Hikawa left, the flushed Hikawa knelt in front of the low coffee table in front of him, looked back at the dying bewitching woman on the bed, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

What's wrong with you?

Hikawa drank a cup of ginseng tea at the beginning of the year, and suddenly felt that his lower body had a tendency to raise his head again, which was really not good.

Although his cultivation is profound, he has not been able to suppress the desire in his heart at this moment, and he is not in the mood to pay attention to even what Hikawa Guanzhi said just now.

Extinguishing the fire, he just wants to extinguish the fire now!

Hikawa called a few maids and immediately began to walk into battle.

After a while, the old lord of the old man slowly walked out of his room, his face heavy red, and he walked towards the council hall with a vague step.

After coming to the meeting hall, the obscene look on Hikawa Nakachu's face only retracted, he looked at the clansmen standing on both sides of the hall, and said slowly: "I heard that Dongshan is dead?"

Heard?

The tribesmen all looked at each other, shocked at each other.

This is your son, the old master, why do you look indifferent now?

Everyone was puzzled, but they didn't dare to raise objections, because they didn't know if Hikawa was pretending to be like this, and if he touched the mold at that time, it would not be good.

After a long time, someone finally stood up, Hikawa Teki really couldn't bear to see his father's deplorable appearance, he stood in the center of the hall, half-knelt on the ground, and said, "Father, Dongshan is dead!"

Hikawa Nakatsu's brows furrowed slightly, and his face was a little unhappy, "I know he's dead, didn't he choose it himself?"

"But you don't think there's anything ...... about it"

Although Hikawa Tetsuki is a martial idiot, he sees the situation in the family. Since that day when his younger brother went out on a mission, his father has become like a different person, indulging in women every day and not asking about family affairs, even the meetings of the royal family have to be done by others.

He knew that his father had worked hard for the family day and night, and that the long hours of restraint had made him tired and wanted to indulge himself, but in this situation, it was not the time to enjoy relaxation.

Before leaving, Higashiyama handed over the clay figure that contained a wisp of his soul to him, the purpose of which was to prevent him from having an accident and let him know as soon as possible.

Hikawa Tetsuki was obsessed with physical cultivation at that time, and he had no intention of knowing Hikawa Higashiyama at all, so after Hikawa Higashiyama left Yingdao Country, he handed over this clay figurine to his sister Hikawa Guanzhi for safekeeping.

In retrospect, my brother only gave him the clay figurine, which may have a deep meaning.

The clay figure hides a wisp of the soul of Hikawa Higashiyama, the soul is the most important thing of an onmyoji, for any onmyoji, to hand over the soul means to entrust one's life to others.

This shows that before Hisakawa Higashiyama left, he was the only one who still believed.

Why didn't he give the clay figurines containing his soul to his father, but to his brother?

Hikawa Tetsuki has finally come to his senses now, and his father is probably being controlled!

After Hikawa Tetsufa figured out the ins and outs of the matter, he suddenly fell silent, the Hikawa family is powerful, and it is impossible for outsiders to intervene in their families, and the only ones who can cast a spell on their father are the clansmen of the Hikawa family itself.

Who is it that wants to harm the Hikawa family?

Hikawa Tetsuki looked around at the people around him, and every expression on his face was captured by his gaze.

Could it be that I am suspicious?

Hikawa Tetsuki's mind is not as good as Hichikawa Higashiyama, and his skills are still shallow in observing affairs.

Even if he sorted out a clue now, without enough clear evidence, he couldn't think of anyone who would be the mole of the Hikawa family.

Hikawa Guanzhi stood aside, looking at his eldest brother with an expressionless face, and a killing intent rose in his heart.

My other brother, I'm afraid that he has already discovered something, and it seems that he has to find a way to make him disappear forever.

In the Hikawa family, the status of women is very low, even if Hikawa Guanzhi is talented, it is not taken seriously at all, many people only know that there are two genius eldest sons in the Hikawa family, Hikawa Tetsuki and Hikawa Higashiyama, as for Hikawa Guanzhi, he is the most neglected person.

Hikawa Guanzhi understands that during this period of time, she must find a way to get the Yin and Yang Divine Position of the Hikawa family, otherwise, once the root of this matter is caught by other families, she will definitely become the target of public criticism.

"You step back first. ”

Hikawa Nakatsu saw Hikawa Tetsuki suddenly stuck in the middle of speaking, waved his hand impatiently, and motioned for him to stand back.

"Hey!"

Hikawa Tetsuki replied and returned to where he was standing.

"Are you all ready for this Onmyoji God Throne competition?"

Hikawa Nakatsu's eyes regained a little brightness, and he said weakly.

"Father, I think we're all ready for the Onmyoji Divine Position this time. ”

Hikawa suddenly stood up and said.

Hikawa Teki eyebrows tightened, sister, why did she speak at this time, and the thing they should be most concerned about now should not be the death of Hikawa Higashiyama?

Is the Onmyoji god position of the Hikawa family more important than the death of the direct clan?

Hikawa Tetsuki was a little angry in his heart, although Hikawa Higashiyama usually has a bad personality, but he has always loved his brother, and now that he is dead, he can't do anything for him, it's really sad.

His father is now under control, and the fate of the Hikawa family is in jeopardy, but he can't do anything.

"Okay, this time for the Onmyoji Divine Position, you all have to do your best, I'm old, and the next thing will be handed over to you juniors. ”

After Hikawa finished speaking, he slowly stood up and walked out of the council hall.

These clansmen looked at the back of Hikawa Middle School and had questions. The head of the family has been getting more and more abnormal recently.

After the meeting was dismissed, only Hikawa Tetsuki and Hikawa Kanji were left in the hall.

Hikawa Guanzhi was wearing a kimono, her eyes narrowed into a beautiful crescent, she stared at Hikawa Tetsuki and said: "Brother, this time you have to go all out in the battle for the position of Onmyoji, if you fail, your father will be very disappointed." ”

Hikawa Tetsuki heard his sister's words, as if he understood something, he raised his head, looked at Hikawa Guanzhi, and sighed: "I will do my best to be the Onmyoji god of our Hikawa family, sister, don't underestimate your brother." ”

After speaking, Hikawa Tetsuki's eyes were cold, and he strode out of the conference hall.

"It seems that the elder brother has sensed something. ”

Hikawa smiled coldly, picked up a handprint, and disappeared into the conference hall.

............

Huaxia, two o'clock in the morning.

On the top of the towering mountain, three figures swept by one after another, bringing a gust of wind, and countless plants bent down and shook gently under the pressure of the wind.

On the ethereal peak, a few perched birds were startled by a few noises, chirping and flying in the dark forest, breaking the tranquility of this side of the world.

"In these places, will anyone really live here?"

Chu Xinran looked at the surrounding lush mountains and forests, as well as the overgrown cliffs, these mountains and mountains, with many stones and trees, were inaccessible, and there was no half of a person at all.

If you were a normal human being, you would definitely not choose to live in such an isolated place.

Although the environment is beautiful, there is too little popularity, and staying in this environment for a long time can cause an ordinary person to have a nervous breakdown.

"Chu Daoyou don't need to be in a hurry, the Xiuzhen sect generally chooses a place with a strong aura as a sect stronghold, although a place like this has a good environment, it is not suitable as a place for the sect to be stationed. ”

Leng Jian stood on the sky and glanced downward, his expression moved slightly, and pointed to the cliff and valley below the Ethereal Peak and said: "The Xiaoyao Palace was originally built on the top of the Ethereal Peak, and the legend is that the suspension array created by a supernatural power is the suspended foundation, which can stand in the sky for a hundred years. However, due to the passage of time, the development of human science and technology is getting faster and faster, the environment has been destroyed, and the aura between heaven and earth has gradually collapsed, which has led to the fact that Xiaoyao Palace can only migrate to this ethereal peak and valley. ”

In the end, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Why didn't I see anything?"

Chu Xinran glanced down twice, only to see a shallow stream and countless craggy rocks.

"Naturally, you can't see it, because it's a big array that hides most of the scenery. ”

Zhou Ming said, flying down alone.

"Chu Daoyou, follow closely. ”

Leng Jian smiled at Chu Xinran, and also flew towards the valley.

"Eh, master, can you see the sects here?"

Chu Xinran saw Zhou Ming being the first to fly away, and hurriedly rushed down, she had to see the magic of this Xiuzhen sect in person.

"Shen Daoyou, let's go in through the entrance. ”

Leng Jian saw that Zhou Ming wanted to bypass from the other side of the valley, and hurriedly shouted to him, the other side of this valley is the forbidden place of the Xiaoyao Palace, even the monks in the late stage of foundation building do not dare to set foot easily, this rash flight over, it is likely to encounter some accidents.

Zhou Ming nodded, and took Chu Xinran to the valley below, he just saw that the aura behind him was several times richer than in this valley, so he mistakenly thought that that that there was the location of Xiaoyao Palace.

He released his divine sense to probe, and the other side of the valley was white, and it was completely impossible to see what was contained in it, which seemed to be a bit of a doorway.

Zhou Ming only roughly swept it with his divine sense, and did not go deep into it, otherwise with the strength of his divine sense, it would not be difficult to see what was inside.

But on other people's turf, it's better to be polite.

The three of them were down-to-earth, and the aura around them rushed through the cold, and the scenery in front of them suddenly changed, and the surrounding scenes were like water waves, turning one after another, revealing their original appearance.

Chu Xinran looked around, and the valley was suddenly full of emerald green plants, and many wildflowers exuded a faint fragrance, which made people feel happy.

In front of the three of them was a sloping bluestone staircase, which was said to have moss in the vapour valley, but their bluestone staircase was clean and extremely dry, and even the messy dirt and dust could not stay on it, let alone moss and other debris.

"It's fine. ”

Zhou Ming gently patted Chu Xinran's head, who was still looking around, and stepped on the stone steps with Leng Jian and walked up.

"Master, why do we have to go up? Aren't we flying faster?"

After Chu Xinran cultivated, he tried not to walk if he could fly, but now when he sees the stairs, he needs to walk up slowly, won't it seem too low?

"It's called situationism, and on other people's turf, you have to give a few thin faces. ”

Zhou Ming couldn't help laughing at this time, and joked about Chu Xinran.

"Oh, I see. ”

Chu Xinran stepped up step by step, and suddenly hummed a ballad: "Sister, hurry up, take three steps forward, my brother is chasing behind, look at my sister, twist my ass~"

Leng Jian couldn't help but cover his face, how could this master and apprentice feel that they had come to blaspheme the Immortal Cultivation Sect? He now regretted very much that he hadn't made it clear to them about the rules of the Xiaoyao Palace earlier.

This bluestone staircase is actually a ladder to ascend to the immortals specially built by the Xiaoyao Palace in order to recruit disciples in ancient times, in ancient times, because all beings wanted to ask for immortals, so the Ethereal Palace built a ladder to ascend the immortals on the top of the Ethereal Peak.

I don't know which ancestor of this stone staircase came from the Xiaoyao Palace, and it seems to imply the pressure of the avenue, and mortals will feel infinite pressure when they step on the stone steps.

If you don't have great perseverance and cultivation talent, you will be bounced off the moment you step on the stone steps, and then you will be isolated from the great array of the Xiaoyao Palace, and you will never see this magnificent scene for the rest of your life.

"In the past, this ladder was used to test the perseverance and bones of mortals, but now it is idle in this valley, but also to temper the hearts of the disciples of the sect. ”

Leng Jian walked on the stone steps step by step and said very seriously.

The predecessors didn't know how much sweat had been shed on this piece of stone steps, and a relaxed and happy demeanor like Chu Xinran was a great disrespect to these people who were struggling to seek the Tao.

"Well, okay, I get it. ”

Chu Xinran clasped his hands together and smiled embarrassedly at Leng Jian.

Zhou Ming shook his head, for him, the so-called ladder to ascend the immortal ladder of the Xiaoyao Palace was just a superfluous move.
