Chapter 2 There are purple clouds in the south and left power in the north

Murong Qi, the palace master of the Purple Cloud Palace, even though he began to fade out of the rivers and lakes ten years ago, is still a legendary existence in the rivers and lakes. It is said that his martial arts are extremely profound, and his mind is even more strange and unpredictable, coupled with the independent style www.biquge.info of Ziyun Palace over the years, everything about him is inevitably a little mysterious. Such a person who combines all kinds of reverie traits, even if he is not a good person, has undoubtedly become the object of the world's women's yearning.

Cen Kexuan, who was in the prime of her jasper years, was naturally no exception, when she slowly pushed the door in, Murong Qi was painting at the desk, his plain white hands were knotted, and he was wearing a lilac gown, simple but luxurious. She subconsciously looked at the scroll and couldn't help but show surprise. The paintings are outstanding, both in terms of brushwork and polish. To her surprise, in the apricot blossom forest on the picture scroll, there was actually a woman in red, as if when the wind moved, the woman in red was fluttering, her long hair was messy, and the pink and white apricot blossoms were sprinkled all over the sky, which was extremely beautiful. Under a closer look, the appearance of the woman in red is really extremely beautiful and glamorous, and her charm is even more arrogant and uninhibited.

Cen Kexuan was still a little girl after all, and she was curious, so she immediately couldn't help but praise: "Palace Master, the femininity on this painting is extraordinary, and she is really a beautiful woman." She saw those women in the Purple Cloud Palace on weekdays, although they were good at martial arts and graceful, but their temperament was either gentle or charming, and the most special was Hua Yue, one of the four protectors, who was as cold as a plum. Even so, she had never seen such a radiant woman in the painting, as if she was unrestrained, and her heart suddenly felt indescribable envy.

When Murong Qi heard this, there was a rare tenderness between his eyebrows, he did not look up at Cen Kexuan, but fixed his eyes on the painting in front of him, and whispered as if talking to himself: "It is indeed a beautiful woman." Cen Kexuan said again: "Could this woman be a person the palace master knows?" The corners of Murong Qi's mouth showed a slight smile, and Cen Kexuan was happy: "Really? The other party did not answer immediately, but silently accepted the pen, only then turned his head and said lightly: "It's an old man." ”

Old friend. The first love of childhood sweethearts can be old people, the confidants who meet in Pingshui can be old people, and the lovers who promise life and death can also be old people. The word 'deceased' is too ambiguous. Cen Kexuan said with a smile: "The palace master's deceased is naturally not an ordinary person, presumably this woman must be extraordinary." Murong Qi laughed: "Kexuan, you are eager for other people's affairs. It doesn't sound like much, but it couldn't be more obvious.

Although she is more favored by the palace master than others, she must also know how to observe words and feelings, and now the palace master is obviously unwilling to say more, so she naturally does not dare to ask again. So he followed his words and said: "What does the palace master mean, could it be that he summoned me this time, is there something related to me?" "Since the palace master is in retreat, she has not seen the palace master for a long time, and Murong Qi has a perverse personality, and she is not an easy person to get close to, if there is nothing important, she probably won't come out of nowhere.

Murong Qi didn't respond to her directly, turned around and went to the room to take out a letter, "Kexuan, you come here." Cen Kexuan was confused in his heart, and walked a few steps in front of him, showing a little hesitation, "Palace master, this letter ......" He didn't say much, and handed the letter to her directly. Cen Kexuan took the letter suspiciously, looked down, and found that the letter had been opened. "This letter is from Royal View Villa." Murong Qi added lightly, which made Cen Kexuan's eyes widen. Although she has lived in Ziyun Palace since she was a child, far away from the world, she also listens to Dou Lan tell some characters and stories in the rivers and lakes from time to time.

The Purple Cloud Palace is very famous, and the palace is as powerful as a cloud, and it is powerful all over the world, but compared with the Yujing Villa, it also has its inevitable disadvantages, if the Purple Cloud Palace is a more born and mysterious existence, then the Yujing Villa must be actively entering the WTO. Its power rose in the north of the Zuoquan Ridge Fushan line, but in just 20 years almost all over the Central Plains continent, its development momentum, can be described as as fast as the wind, unstoppable, all in the meantime, all of which make the world amazed.

Until today, the Zuo Quan Bai family has firmly stood in the most pivotal position in the rivers and lakes, and when it comes to the powerful power of Yujing Villa today, there is another person who has to be mentioned here, that is, Bai Liancheng, the former owner of Yujing Villa for more than 20 years. Because it was this person who pushed the Zuo Quan Bai family, an ancient family power that had been silent for many years, to its peak again, and this legendary figure suddenly died of illness just three months ago. A generation of heroes has passed away, and the world is embarrassed.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Cen Kexuan. She glanced at Murong Qi with some puzzlement, and saw that he was unmoved, so she returned her attention to the letter, stretched out her hand to pull out the letter paper, and then carefully unfolded itβ€”the letter was sprinkled, the handwriting was thick, and the pen was vigorous and powerful, which was eye-catching. After carefully reading it from beginning to end, she felt more and more confused and overwhelmed, and her brows furrowed slightly.

The intention of this letter is actually to propose, Bai Yufeng, the current owner of Yujing Villa, proposed to Ziyun Palace, and the person he wanted to marry was Cen Kexuan, the righteous sister of the palace master of Ziyun Palace.

The meaning of this could not be more obvious. After Bai Liancheng, the old owner of Yujing Villa, died of illness, his eldest son Bai Yufeng quickly took over the position of the owner. However, Yujing Villa has dominated the north for many years, it is the largest village in the world, and there are many talents in the village, and the newly appointed Bai Yufeng wants to convince everyone in the village and even the people in the rivers and lakes in the short term, but he does need some skills.

It's not that hard to convince the public. Bai Yufeng was originally the son of the Bai family, and it is justified to inherit the family business, and it is said that this person is not an ordinary person regardless of ability and martial arts, in a sense, the recognition of Bai Yufeng's status as the owner of the village may only be a matter of time, so these problems at this time are not real problems. What really worried him was the second son of the Zuoling Bai family, that is, his younger brother of the same age as him, Bai Moyin.

It is said that this person is not only outstanding in appearance, but also a rare martial arts wizard. Five years ago, the Xiliang Pavilion entrenched in the Western Regions invaded the Central Plains on a large scale, wanting to seize the Central Plains Continent at the peak of its power, and capture the major sects, which was the largest catastrophe in the Central Plains martial arts in a hundred years.

It was a fierce and tragic struggle, countless stories were circulated, and countless people became legends, and the leader who provoked this situation, known as the first master of the Western Regions, the former pavilion master Lu Zhanming, was defeated and died at the hands of Bai Moyin in that battle. That year, Bai Moyin was only sixteen years old.

Among the many legends, none shines more brightly than his myth. He was rumored to be miraculous in the rivers and lakes, so that when people in the world heard about Yujing Villa, the first thing they thought of was not the new owner Bai Yufeng, nor the evil sword that can be called the treasure of Yujing Villa, but the son of Mo Yin, Bai Moyin, who has a stunning style.

Its limelight, indeed, is as Dou Lan said the day before yesterday, and it is not inferior to Murong Qi, the master of the Purple Cloud Palace. Such a light naturally completely overshadowed Bai Yufeng. His presence undoubtedly brought unbearable pressure to Bai Yufeng, and this pressure prompted Bai Yufeng, who had just taken the position of the owner, to eagerly seek a support - the Purple Cloud Palace, which was both good and evil, had obviously become the best choice in his eyes. With Ziyun Palace as the backing, he has one more hole card than Bai Moyin.

Therefore, it is not so much that Yujing Villa proposes to Ziyun Palace, but that Bai Yufeng proposes to Ziyun Palace.

However, what kind of attitude will the Purple Cloud Palace have? Cen Kexuan didn't understand what Murong Qi meant at all, he showed her the letter, did he want to decide for herself, or did he have a plan? "Ziyun Palace and Yujing Villa are located at the north and south ends, their styles of action are very different, and there is little communication, and Ziyun Palace has been away from the world for many years, what good can this marriage do to Ziyun Palace? On what basis did he think that the palace master would agree to him? ”

After the phone call was finished, Cen Kexuan realized that her words were out of control, and the sudden proposal made her chaotic for a moment. Seeing that Murong Qi's face was unmoved, she clenched her slightly trembling hand, restrained her emotions, and asked tentatively, "I don't know what the palace master means......"

Murong Qi said, "Bai Yufeng did give me a gift that touched my heart. As for the marriage, he turned around and stroked the edge ......of the table with one hand, looked out the window and said lightly, "Kexuan, do you want to know Cen Zifei's whereabouts?" ”

This sentence instantly ignited the dimming light in Cen Kexuan's eyes, and she said in surprise and nervously, "The palace master has news from his brother?" There was a thumping in his chest. Murong Qi glanced at her deeply, but did not respond, but mentioned another thing, "What Cen Zifei left you back then, have you taken care of it?" His eyes also fell on Cen Kexuan.

Cen Kexuan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the placket of his clothes, and gradually clenched the jade pendant hanging on his chest, "This is the only thing my brother left me, I always put it on my body." ”

This seemed to make Murong Qi quite satisfied, he nodded, showing a look of approval, and said: "He has not been heard from since he left Luoyang nine years ago, it is really difficult to find his trace, I naturally know your mood over the years, presumably you left the palace a few days ago, and you also wanted to inquire about his whereabouts." For this matter, Cen Kexuan did not deny it, and felt deeply guilty, and called "Palace Master", Murong Qi waved his hand and interrupted her: "The so-called 'eldest brother is like a father', if he is still in the world and hears that his biological sister is married, how can he not be a brother?" He paused, and then said, "If you go to Fushan, you will definitely have a chance to meet him." ”

Indeed, if the owner of Yujing Mountain Villa and the righteous sister of the palace master of Ziyun Palace get married, such a major event will definitely cause a sensation in the entire martial arts, and almost the world will know it at that time, no matter where the elder brother is, he will definitely be able to hear about it. However, why is the palace master so sure that his brother, who has been missing for many years, will appear in Yujing Villa? Cen Kexuan lowered his head silently, not daring to think about it anymore, but he suddenly understood Murong Qi's intentions, and said in a trance: "Does the palace master want me to marry Yujing Villa?" Although it was a question, I already decided in my heart that I was afraid that I had to go this time.

Murong Qi looked at Cen Kexuan, who was deep in thought, and said slowly: "Not really, this time you go north to Fushan, you only need to do one thing for me." Cen Kexuan asked, "What's the matter?" Murong Qi said: "The reason why Yujing Villa is famous is largely due to the fact that they have a sword that is known as the best in the world. When you get to the Imperial Villa, you just need to find a way to retrieve this sword for me. Cen Ke preached: "What the palace master said is the evil sword? Murong Qi nodded, which was acquiescence.

The evil god Lingsha, this man who has seen countless times in the portrait, purple robe and moar, green eyes and fangs, and a hideous expression, his name is a nightmare for all children. Her expression shook slightly, and what she remembered in her mind was what she had heard since she was a child, a legend that seemed to be true and false three hundred years ago, about good and evil, the righteous path and the demons and demons.

Speaking of which, the contest between the two seems to be mutually neutralized, at least to this day, no one has ever seen the descendants of the Demon Sect back then. Where did the witch Yujin, who was a national teacher back then, die, and no one knows where the bones remain, but she was a goddess-like figure in the legend, and finally ended up like this, which made all the stories that have been handed down no longer true. What's more, there is no record of the national teacher Yu Jin in the historical materials.

Some people say that it was because of Yu Jin's eventual defection and betrayal that she could not go down in history, of course, some people believe that this is an excuse made up by the world for this false story. There is no historical record, so the so-called demons and the so-called witches are just fiction. Only the Evil Sword preserved in Yujing Villa may confirm that these stories have a slight authenticity. It is said that this sword was the weapon held by the head of the Demon Sect back then.

Cen Kexuan pondered for a moment before asking, "If I obtain the Evil Yan Sword, can I go back to the Purple Cloud Palace?" She knew that she couldn't disobey the palace master, but she really didn't want to stay in Yujing Villa, so she asked. Murong Qi suddenly glanced at her meaningfully: "Naturally, I will follow your wishes wherever I go at that time." She was surprised in her heart, she felt that this was very strange, but she couldn't say what the problem was, and then she thought of another thing: "But once I marry Bai Yufeng, I will already be the ...... of the Bai family" Yujing Villa has a prominent position in the rivers and lakes, if she really marries Bai Yufeng and becomes the owner of Yujing Villa, then many things will immediately become completely different, but I am afraid that I will fall into the entanglement of the Bai family and the rivers and lakes, and I will not be able to withdraw at all.

Murong Qi just waved his hand, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and seemed disapproving: "It's okay." The Purple Cloud Palace is far away from the Imperial View Villa, they will send someone to pick you up first, and then choose a day to complete the marriage later. If you can retrieve the Evil Sword within this time, this family business will be canceled. In other words, the Evil Sword is the point.

Who is Murong Qi, it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, perverse, how can he ever care about the opinions of others, you say that he is in a high position, will everything be from the overall situation, but the so-called reputation, reputation, prestige, these things have never been able to influence him, Murong Xi also sighed with emotion back then: Qi Er is talented and intelligent, and his martial arts qualifications are amazing, but he has no consciousness of a superior. Now in charge of Ziyun Palace, he is not afraid of offending anyone, and naturally he is not afraid of Yujing Villa. At the moment, he is friendly with you in order to achieve his own goals, but afterwards, even if he crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, or even stabs you in the back, he doesn't realize anything wrong. This kind of shameless practice that completely ignores morality is a fight with Shulan.

When it came to this, she also understood what the palace master meant, and knew that she shouldn't ask more, so she was silent for a long time, and seeing that Murong Qi had no other instructions, she said, "Kexuan understands." Murong Qi stopped looking at her, "Go ahead." ”

She put the letter back on the desk, whispered a "can be declared" and turned around and quietly retreated, her steps were very gentle, but her heart was not calm - she really didn't understand what the palace master wanted to do. If she steals the Evil Yan Sword, it is more suitable for any person in the palace to send a secret visit to the night detective, at least Chu Li is much more powerful than her, and besides, even if the Evil Yan Sword is hidden deep in the Yujing Villa, it is difficult to find, and you need to blend into the interior to know where it is hiding, and the palace master can completely find another woman in the Ziyun Palace to replace him. Anyway, no one in Yujing Villa knew what Cen Kexuan looked like, and there were countless women in Ziyun Palace who were better than Cen Kexuan. How can he be entrusted by the palace master?

Moreover, the palace master seemed to be very sure that his brother would appear when she married Yujing Villa, indicating that he must know a little about his brother's whereabouts, but why didn't he tell himself? She really had too many questions to figure out, but she had to shake her head and ignore them for the time being. In any case, she really should do something for the Purple Cloud Palace, after nine years of eating and drinking for nothing, how can there be such a good thing in the world? She is not an ungrateful person.

As soon as the door was closed, a figure flashed in the shadows, with a restrained expression and a slight aura of slaughter, and it was Chu Li. He walked behind Murong Qi, was silent for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "Does the palace master really want to marry Bai Yufeng?" "How can it be so easy to steal the treasure of Yujing Villa? What's more, it's such a yellow-haired girl with mediocre martial arts and no experience in the rivers and lakes.

Murong Qi looked out the window and showed a vague smile: "It is unknown whether Bai Yufeng's position as the owner of the village can sit until the day of marriage. ”

"Agreeing to this marriage is just an excuse to let Kexuan sneak into Yujing Villa." He added lightly, "Kexuan is my sister-in-law in the end, and I won't take her life's events as a child's play." ”

Chu Li said again: "Then when the time comes, you can ...... Xuan"

Murong Qi said slowly: "Don't worry, this seat has its own measure." ”

Chu Li stood upright on one side, his eyes moving slightly, as if he was still uncertain, but in the end, he seemed to be forced down by an invisible net, turning into a bubble, disappearing, calm as before.
