Hou Jie is the adopted son of the Hou family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The contemporary head of the Hou family, Hou Xingxian, the king of Zhenxi, pursued the road of cultivation all his life, and had no children in his later years. Of course, this matter is only known to some absolute upper echelons of the dynasty, and most of the princes and nobles regard him as Hou Jie is the son of the Hou family.
Hou Jie also lived up to expectations, since he was a child, he showed a cultivation talent beyond his peers, he cultivated at the age of ten to cultivate the Qi Realm, worshiped under the Huayi Sword Sect, and spent another seven or eight years of hard work, advanced to the Tongmai Realm, and became the third generation of disciples of the sect.
When people talk about the genius young master of the Hou family, they use the word praise.
Surrounded by praise since childhood, the arrogance in Hou Jie's heart can be imagined, he has not served many characters since he was a child, but Hou Qingxuan is an exception.
For his younger sister, Hou Jie has an eight-character evaluation.
Peerless, talented as a demon!
Hou Jie watched Hou Qingxuan grow up, he knows how amazing his sister's talent is, Hou Qingxuan is eight years old to refine qi, eleven years old to pass the pulse, fourteen years old Zhou Tian! Now she is sixteen years old, and she is already an indispensable core disciple of Bailongling. My sister's talent is not even reflected in the cultivation alone. In terms of connotation, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting; In terms of talent, she can do poetry, singing and dancing, Hou Jie pays himself a dignified man, but none of his skills can catch up with his sister.
is such a talented and flawless sister, a sister who is regarded as a treasure by him, and she actually wants to marry a lowly concubine of the Wu family!
The first time I heard the news was two years ago, at that time, the old master Hou Tuwen came to his father to discuss, and then announced the decision in the family, Hou Jie, who heard the news, almost couldn't believe his ears, he was desperate to oppose his father's decision in the hall, but he was punished by the half moon on the wall. After that, he did not give up, and repeatedly expressed his objections, so that the date of the engagement between the two was delayed until a year ago, when Hou Tuwen asked the saint for marriage in the court in public, and the marriage was settled.
Speaking of Hou Jie's feelings for Hou Qingxuan, he is naturally extremely admired, who doesn't love such an excellent girl? Coupled with getting along day and night, the relationship is a few points better than ordinary couples. But Hou Qingxuan only treated him as a brother, and with nominal concerns, he could only bury that sentiment in his heart.
With Hou Qingxuan's conditions, there are countless men around her to pursue, even if the news of the engagement comes out, there are still Gongzi brothers who are tireless in her, among them, there are many such as the young master of the Huayi Sword Sect, the prince of Longyou Wang, and other peerless young people who will be in the world in the future. In the face of these people, although Hou Jie is jealous, he can accept it, after all, they are all radiant and arrogant, and they will definitely be powerful in the future. But what is this Wu Ming? Shu was born, not suitable for cultivation, and only took the examination a few years ago, which point is worthy of his own sister?
Deep jealousy continued to breed in his chest, annihilating Hou Jie's whole person, he hated Wu Ming more and more, and even the Wu family. In his mind, the Wu family must at least come up with a Tianjiao figure like Wu Junhao, the son of the world, in order to match his sister, and Wu Yu clearly rejected this proposal, which is insulting his sister and their Hou family!
"The cheap breed of the Wu family, if you stay at home and read the sages and sages, and don't step into the sect again, that's fine. If you suffer a loss and are still stubborn, then don't blame me for being ruthless. Thinking back to the scenes with his sister in the past, Hou Jie's hatred became more and more surging, and he almost looked up to the sky and roared.
"Brother Hou, please restrain yourself for the time being, it is not appropriate for you to come forward now, lest that kid see any flaws." Tao Jinpeng on the side saw Hou Jie's hideous expression, afraid that he would not be able to control himself, so he reminded him loudly.
"I've got my own measure." Hou Jieqiang pressed the anger in his heart, closed his eyes and stared for a moment, his face finally returned to normal, he turned his head to look at Zhou Yao on the side, and asked loudly, "Miss Yao, the next one is fine." ”
"Hou Gongzi, please rest assured, the Mei family's Gongzi has discussed it, and Yao'er has no problem controlling him." Zhou Yao pursed her lips and smiled, like a bright and blooming rose, it was beautiful. She stretched out her small tongue again, licked her red lips, and a hint of cunning appeared in the corners of her eyes, "I don't know when the promise Hou Gongzi promised will be ......"
Before she finished speaking, Hou Jie interrupted her and said, "Miss Yao, don't worry, the first of the two high-level magic weapons agreed upon will be delivered to the house tomorrow." As for the second one, it can only be handed over to the girl after it is completed......"
"Oh? Why is that? Zhou Yao asked curiously.
"Girl, have you ever heard of the Wu family's Purple Jiao Dragon Scale Armor?"
Zhou Yao blinked, his eyes were surprised: "It is said that King Yu led the team to injure a purple Jiao who was about to become a dragon many years ago, and the leather armor made from the scales dropped by the purple Jiao is known as invulnerable to water and fire, and wearing a belt close to the body is also beneficial to cultivation, is it difficult to ......" Obviously thinking of something possible, she showed an excited look on her face.
"My Hou family has its own special intimate soft armor, although this purple dragon scale armor is wonderful, if it can be done, it is not impossible to cede it to the girl." Hou Jie smiled slightly.
"The three great competitions are coming, it just so happens that Senior Sister Xia is missing a protective armor, with this Purple Jiao Dragon Scale Armor, I think the top ten should be able to win steadily, Yao'er is here to thank Hou Gongzi instead of Senior Sister." Zhou Yao showed a surprised expression and thanked him again and again.
"Senior Sister Yao is too polite."
When it comes to the mysterious "Senior Sister Xia" of the Kwaiyin lineage, Hou Jiegui is a disciple of three generations, and his whole body can't help but tremble, and he can only politely return the salute.
The three of them discussed for a while, and determined that the plan would not be changed, so Zhou Yao took the lead in saying goodbye. The rest of Hou Jie and Tao Jinpeng chatted about some daily trivial matters, and then they went back to the house in the sect.
On the other side, it took the whole afternoon for Wu Ming to take a tour of the important areas of the sect, focusing on the places of the school, the school house and the pharmacy, and when he returned to the house, it was already the hour when the lights were on. As he had bathed at noon, he washed up a little at night, then got into the bed, and after a while he fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, as soon as the sun rose, Wu Ming got up and finished washing, tidied up his clothes, carried the steel sword, and went out with the map and talisman prepared in advance. The main peak of the Soul Exorcism was not far from where he lived, and after walking for less than half an hour with the map, he came to the foot of the main peak of the Soul Exorcism.
There were few pedestrians along the way, and I didn't see a few disciples of the same sect.
After walking a mountain road, Wu Ming's expression became more and more strange, because he found that the entire mountain forest was a little too quiet, and there were trees covering the sky everywhere, but he couldn't hear a little birdsong. The barren branches at his feet mixed with countless weeds made his brow furrow. The most terrifying thing is that you can't see a single figure, and you can't see the footprints left by humans, as if you have come to a real deep mountain and old forest.
How can the One Sword Sect be said to be a thriving Dao Sect, how could there be such an inaccessible place?
Looking at the blood-red word "exorcism" on the talisman, Wu Ming secretly said that it was not good, he knew that this place was so weird, he should have asked a few senior brothers before coming, but now don't talk about the figure on the road, there is no ghost shadow, and he can't find the object if he wants to ask.
Holding back the doubts in his mind, he continued to hurry, walking for a long time in the dark forest, still not finding any traces of buildings or human existence. Just as he was wondering if he was going to go back the way he came, a strange black shadow flashed in front of him.
Rao was determined to be a human being in his two lives, and he was so frightened that he almost jumped up this time.
"Who!" Wu Ming screamed, his hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword behind him, and he wanted to unsheath the long sword.
The figure heard his voice and stopped in front of him, looking at him silently. Wu Ming saw his appearance clearly, breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped drawing his sword.
It was a young man in his early thirties, wearing a Taoist robe in the sect, his hair was scattered, and he was looking at Wu Ming with a strange gaze. Depending on the situation, this should be the senior brother of the soul exorcism.
"Boy Wu Ming, who first entered the sect and was assigned to the soul exorcism, came to meet the ancestor today, and asked this senior brother to lead the way." Wu Ming respectfully bent down and saluted the elders, expressing his intention.
"You come with me."
The young man glanced at him, turned around and strode towards the mountain, Wu Ming hurriedly trotted after him.
"This senior brother, how long will it take for us to get to the ancestor's residence?"
The two of them walked for nearly half an hour, going deeper and deeper into the woods, but they still did not see half of the building. Wu Ming walked from early morning to now close to noon, his mouth was already dry, his spirit was in a trance, and he couldn't help urging the young man who led the way.
Unexpectedly, the young man didn't look back, just hurried forward, ignoring Wu Ming at all, Wu Ming had no choice but to continue to follow him. After that, Wu Ming wanted to talk to this senior brother several times, but the other party ignored him, as if he had forgotten him in a hurry, if he hadn't said to Wu Ming "You come with me" when they first met, Wu Ming would have treated him as a dumb person.
After another lunch, a large hall with vermilion walls finally appeared in front of the two. The main hall is red bricks and blue tiles, the eaves are built, it is not said to be brilliant, but also antique, a plaque is hung on the door, and there are three pale yellow characters on the book "Exorcism Palace".
"You follow me to the ancestor." When the senior brother saw the main hall, he finally opened his mouth and turned around to give an order, and he kept walking into the hall for a while, and Wu Ming could only follow in a hurry.
There is no wooden door in the main hall, and there are no guards on either side, and the inside is even more empty. The main hall enshrines a bronze statue of the Nine Heavens Xuannu several zhang high, the two murals are painted with strange pictures, most of them are similar to the Taoist priest meditating and subduing the demon and the like, several side halls only set up incense case futon, and a few ancient books and rune paper are placed on the wooden cabinet, except for this there is nothing.
Wu Ming walked and walked, his heart became more and more creepy, Gain walked a few rooms in the hall, but he didn't see a single figure, this soul exorcism is one of the five veins of the Sword Sect, where have all the people gone? He also went to many places yesterday and saw the prosperous scene of many young people gathering together. After all, the Huayi Sword Sect is a famous immortal sect, and there are many princes and princes who apprentice every year, plus the children of rich families who have been recruited over the years, how can it be said that there should be thousands of disciples, this soul exorcism is one of the five veins, and there should always be hundreds of disciples, right?
It's a pity that reality shattered Wu Ming's illusions.
It wasn't until he walked to the courtyard at the end of the main hall and saw the patriarch and his brothers sitting on the platform that he was surprised to find out......
The entire Exorcism Palace, plus him, was only five people in total!
