Chapter 20: The Choice (II)
Wan Jian clapped his hands and laughed, patted his shoulder, and said, "Well said, good man, just have such ambition!" ”
Cang Song nodded heavily, the muscles on his cheeks moved slightly, as if he was clenching his teeth, and he was a little excited. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wan Jianyi said again: "I have discussed this matter with Senior Brother Daoxuan, and it is best to choose a few more people, but apart from you, I can't think of anyone else who is suitable for a while." ”
Cang Song thought about it carefully, his brows furrowed, and said: "This matter is really difficult to do, originally the Tianyun Senior Brother of Luoxia Peak was quite suitable, but he was plotted by a demon yesterday and was seriously injured, so it seems that it will not be done." ”
Wan Jian slowly bowed his head and said, "Senior Brother Tianyun is indeed good, but it's a pity. It's just that in this hurry, where can I find someone who is not well-known but not weak......"
As he was talking, Wan Jianyi's gaze swept over the sea of clouds, and suddenly he saw two figures walking from the direction of the sea of clouds and Cuiping, one tall and one short, talking to each other and walking in the other direction.
After seeing the faces of the two people clearly, Wan Jianyi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Uncle Zeng often looked worried, he should still be worried about his return to the peak, Tian Buyi whispered to comfort him on the side. But at this moment, the two of them suddenly heard a shout from front of them at the same time, "Senior Brother Tian." ”
Tian Buyi and Zeng Shuchang looked up at the same time, only to see that in front of the sea of clouds, Wan Jianyi and Cang Song were standing together, smiling and waving at them.
The two of them were taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, originally Wan Jianyi's reputation in the Qingyun Sect was extremely prosperous, and after the radiant performance of the battle with the Demon Sect yesterday, now it is even more respected by all the young disciples above and below Qingyun.
Wan Jian returned the salute with a smile, his gaze swept over the two junior disciples, and finally fell on Tian Buyi's face, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Senior Brother Tian, I remember that when I met you at the foot of the mountain yesterday, you said that you were born in Dazhufeng, I don't know what the relationship between Senior Uncle Zheng Tong and you is?" ”
Tian Buyi said respectfully: "It's the family teacher." ”
Wan Jian let out an "oh", as if he had a sudden meaning, and nodded: "I see, no wonder I saw that you were calm and tenacious when you fought with the demon sect demons yesterday, and you were not surprised when you changed, and your Taoism was quite good, it seems that you have won the true inheritance of Uncle Zheng." ”
Tian Buyi was praised by this senior brother who was the pride of Qingyunmen, and he only felt his heart skip a beat, as if his body was a little lighter, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said humbly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, senior brother has won the award." It's not easy to get started, it's still shallow, and the way is shallow, and at most I've only learned a little bit from my teacher. ”
Wan Jian looked him up and down, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this Humpty Dumpty junior brother was quite pleasing to the eye, so after pondering for a while, he suddenly beckoned to him and said, "Senior Brother Tian, come with me, I have something to say to you." ”
Tian Buyi was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes." ”
Seeing Wan Jianyi take Tian Buyi to the side and whisper to him for a while, the expression on Tian Buyi's face suddenly became surprised from the initial respectfulness, and then he frowned and pondered, looking as if he had encountered something difficult to decide.
Uncle Zeng often stood in place, seeing the situation of the two of them in his eyes, and couldn't help but be curious in his heart, so he walked to Cang Song, who was also standing aside, and asked him, "Senior brother, what are they talking about?" ”
Cang Song glanced at him lightly, shook his head, and said, "If Senior Brother Wan wants to tell you, he will naturally say it." ”
Uncle Zeng frowned, and his heart was a little unhappy.
On the other end, Wan Jianyi had already finished what he had to say, and finally said in a deep voice: "This matter is very important, it is extremely dangerous, and I also know that it is really not an easy choice for you, but you just need to follow your own mind, you don't have to think too much, and I will never confide in anyone else about this matter." ”
Tian Buyi responded, but seeing that there was still hesitation on his face, he was obviously still quite shocked by this sudden event, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
Wan Jian didn't force him, walked back with him, and said to him: "I know that you may need to think more about this matter, but time is pressing, before the end of the afternoon, you come here to inform me of the final reply." ”
Tian Buyi took a deep breath, leaned over and said solemnly, "Yes." ”
Wan Jianyi nodded at him, then turned around and strode away, Cang Song glanced at Tian Buyi and Zeng Shuchang, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if there was a bit of sarcasm, and then he also followed behind Wan Jianyi.
※※※
In the Yuqing Palace, Zheng Tong chatted with Dao Xuan for a while, and then told him to take good care of Tianchengzi, and then went.
Watching this respected uncle walk away, Dao Xuan stood alone in this empty corridor, and after being silent for a while, he turned around and re-entered the quiet room.
The head of Qingyunmen, Tianchengzi, was still lying on the bed on his side, looking like he was asleep again, Dao Xuan glanced at the master, and didn't dare to disturb him, so he walked aside and gently cleaned up the teacups and tea that a few people drank just now, and put them aside.
Originally, these little things would naturally be done by Dao Tong, and he didn't have to work for them as a person, but at this moment, Dao Xuan's thoughts fluctuated in his heart, and it seemed that there was a depressed aura condensed in his heart, which was very uncomfortable, and he didn't want to sit just like that, so he simply cleaned it up.
After tidying up, Dao Xuan's gaze swept over the quiet room, and when he saw the table next to the bed, he suddenly frowned slightly, because he found that the few things that had been placed on it were all gone.
When Wan Jianyi and Zheng Tong were here before, Dao Xuan argued with them about things and didn't pay attention to this, but at this moment, he remembered that he had put the Ancient Sword Zhuxian and the Seven Star Immortal Sword over there yesterday, and in addition, there was also a Demon Sect Heavy Treasure Heavenly Demon Banner sent by Senior Brother Shang Zhengliang.
Couldn't it have all been put away by the master?
He was a little puzzled here, and suddenly heard Tianchengzi lying on the bed in front of him not moving, but a voice with a slow and quiet tone came, and he called out, "Dao Xuan." ”
Dao Xuan was taken aback, turned to face Tianchengzi, and said, "The disciple is here." ”
Tianchengzi's body did not move at all, and it seemed that he was still sleeping from behind, but his voice came clearly and gently, and said: "You should have known in your heart just now, no matter how you fight for it, Jian Yi and Zheng Tong will definitely not let you go to the wilderness." ”
Dao Xuan's body shook suddenly, his face showed a bit of disbelief and stunned, looked at Tianchengzi's back, and exclaimed, "Master, why did you say this? ”
Tianchengzi didn't respond, still lying there still.
Dao Xuan's face suddenly turned pale, and even his body trembled slightly, only to hear the sound of "poof", he actually knelt on his knees in front of Tianchengzi's bed, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, you...... Do you doubt me? The disciple would never dare to have such a scheming, the disciple only thinks about the Qingyun Sect, and there is no second heart! ”
Tianchengzi's body was in the futon, and after being silent for a while, a flat voice that didn't seem to have any emotion came over again, and said, "That's good." ”
Dao Xuan looked at Tianchengzi in a daze, his face changed, and he seemed to be a little unsure of what to do for a while, and after a while, he slowly stood up.
There was no one talking in the quiet room for a while, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive and cold. I don't know how long it took before he tried to say softly: "Master, yesterday Senior Brother Shang Zhengliang sent a Demon Sect magic weapon Heavenly Demon Flag, which was received above the sea of clouds, and the disciple has already presented it here. How to deal with this thing, please ask Master to instruct. ”
Tianchengzi was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "You don't have to worry about this matter." ”
Dao Xuan's face changed slightly, but he didn't dare to disobey his master's orders at this moment, so he had to say respectfully: "Yes." After speaking, he hesitated for a moment, seemed to think of something, and said: "Master, because your old man has been injured and recuperating in the past two days, several senior uncles have ordered the disciples to temporarily take care of all things in the door. Now that Master is sober, why don't you please see things for yourself? ”
Tianchengzi said lightly: "After I was seriously injured, my energy was low, and the big and small affairs in the door should be handled by you first." ”
Dao Xuan bowed his head slightly and said, "Yes, the disciple understands." If the master has nothing else to do, the disciple will retire first. ”
"Go ahead."
Dao Xuan bowed, slowly exited the ashram, and gently closed the door of the ashram.
When the door finally separated him from the quiet room that suddenly became extremely oppressive, Dao Xuan's body trembled slightly, only to feel that his whole body suddenly loosened, as if a thousand heavy burdens had suddenly moved away from his body, and then found that before he knew it, his back was already full of cold sweat.
He stood silently at the door of the quiet room, looking at the closed door, his face solemn, and he was silent for a long time.
The sun hangs high on Tongtian Peak, and the clear blue sky is reflected in the blue water pool, like a crystal clear and beautiful gem. Wan Jian hurriedly walked down from the Hongqiao with Cang Song, looked around, and saw two people standing by the pool, one of whom was Dao Xuan.
He walked over quickly and said, "Senior brother, do you have something to do with me?" ”
Dao Xuan nodded and said, "Not bad." As he spoke, he pointed to the person standing beside him, and said to Wan Jian: "This is the senior brother of Shang Zheng Liang Shang of Chaoyang Peak." ”
Wan Jian looked at it, Shang Zhengliang looked solemn, and arched his hand: "I've seen Senior Brother Wan." At the same time, Cang Song, who was following Wan Jianyi, also saluted Dao Xuan.
Wan Jian gestured to Shang Zheng Liang's head, and then looked at Dao Xuan, with some doubt in his eyes.
Dao Xuan said: "Senior Brother Shang is a person I know, he is simple and low-key, honest and resolute, loyal to my Qingyun family, and his Taoism is also extraordinary, which can help you." ”
Wan Jian raised his eyebrows, looked at Shang Zhengliang, stared at him for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Shang, since you were recommended by Senior Brother Daoxuan, I have absolutely no doubts. But do you know about the big deal? ”
Shang Zhengliang nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Daoxuan has already told me. ”
Wan Jianyi: "This is the best, but it is very important to go to the wilderness, and it is extremely dangerous, and there is a danger of death at any time." So I have to ask you one last time, did you really make this decision? ”
Shang Zhengliang said loudly: "Disciple Qingyun, be a fearless and cowardly person, please let my senior brother go with me, although Zhengliang will die, he will not regret it!" ”
Wan Jian laughed, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Okay!" Good brother, if this is so, you and I will go together. ”
