The most terrifying thing is not the shameless villain, but the opponent with high intelligence and high talent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Led by Xiao Biye, Lien entered the Tujia Village, where the Tujia people were sallow-faced, not tall, and adult men and women had a wide leather pocket hanging in front of them.
In a three-story earthen building, Xiao Biye introduced the patriarch of the Tujia family, a small old man with a wrinkled face. Ryan bowed to him.
The patriarch's surname is Yu, and he has no official name, Xiao Biye calls him Lao Yu, and Rien calls him Patriarch Yu.
When the patriarch heard that Rien was the new successor of the martial arts alliance leader, he was extremely enthusiastic, arranged a room for them, ordered the clansmen to bring hot water and food, and also held a banquet to entertain the guests. This flattered Ryan a little.
Xiao Biye said to Lien: "Does the alliance leader know why we want to settle here, and why is Lao Yu so enthusiastic about the alliance leader?" ”
Rien shook his head and didn't know, Xiao Biye poured a bowl of tea for him, and said, "The alliance leader will drink this tea first!" ”
The tea bowl is very large, the workmanship is very coarse, but the tea has a medicinal fragrance, Lien drank this tea, and felt that the turbidity in the body decreased, the clear qi rose, and the whole body was unobstructed.
Xiao Biye explained: "The name of this bowl of tea is called Bupleurum Gegen Drink, which is a specialty here. This is the place where your predecessor Yu Jiulian is from. ”
Rien was surprised, Xiao Biye continued: "The name here is Enshi, adjacent to Yichang, but also bordering Sichuan, Yichang Shuijia, Enshi Tujia, when the old league leader was alive, the Tujia people followed the scenery unlimitedly, and the old league leader was gone, and the Shui family began to suppress the Tujia." ”
"Then Elder Shui, was the old alliance leader pulled it up?" Ryan asked.
Xiao Biye nodded in response and said, "Sort of, but Elder Shui is very strong, and he was once invited by the imperial court to serve as the defense history of Shaanxi and Gansu." ”
Since it is the hometown of the old alliance leader, then this place is very safe, Rien asked, "Is there any movement between Elder Shui and the Cultivation Sect?" ”
Xiao Biye nodded in response, and said, "According to the clansmen who went out of the Shui family, Elder Shui is rectifying the Cultivation Sect. ”
After dark, the Yu patriarch sent someone to invite them to a banquet, and Lane went to invite the jade flute girl to join him.
The four girls lived in a suite, and when they heard Rian's invitation, Yu Xiao immediately refused: "I've been tired of traveling recently, and I'm not feeling well, so I won't go." ”
The other girl was very happy and went with Ryan.
The Tujia tulou village is very distinctive, a row of cylindrical tulou is arranged in a circle, scattered in a radial shape, which is conducive to defense and communication.
In the center is an open space, where a bonfire is lit, and the Yu patriarch invites guests to sit down in front of the banquet, around which men, women, and children sing and dance.
At the banquet, the old patriarch said to him, and Rien didn't remember it, because he drank a lot of wine, and when he woke up, he forgot it all.
On the second day, Lane was going to take the guards to Yichang Shui's house.
Although there is a lot of luck in this way, it can't be replaced by others, and it's not okay not to go.
Rien pondered for a long time, then summoned his guards and said, "I will only take Xiao Biye and Shi Cangwu with me on this trip. ”
Everyone was in an uproar after hearing this, and Rien continued: "Ma Ganan and Miss Wen are responsible for guarding in the sky, and the four friends of Sui Han and the Tujia people are waiting for news outside the Shui family. ”
Ah Qing said, "Alliance leader, I want to go with you!" ”
Rien shook his head and said, "No, you shouldn't come with me, this trip is too dangerous, once Elder Shui turns his face, or Tong Caixia is in trouble, I have no way to escape even if I want to!" ”
Wen Ruzhu said, "Then why didn't the alliance leader send someone to send an order and order Elder Shui and the Xiuwu sect to come here to visit?" ”
Ryan shook his head and said, "Do you think they're going to come and see me?" ”
After arranging, Ah Qing and Ah Bi stayed behind to take care of the jade flute.
Li En asked the Yu patriarch to pick out ten clansmen who ran faster to join the four friends of Suihan, they no longer rode, but took a sedan chair instead, and walked from Enshi to Yichang for a day and a night.
At noon the next day, they rushed to the outside of Shui's house in Yichang, hired a boat, and sailed towards Shuijia.
There was no one to stop them along the way, but when the boat arrived at the entrance of Shuijia Village, a large group of people were already there to greet them.
Rien wondered, didn't he send someone to inform Elder Shui? Could it be that there are other parties' spies in his own bodyguards?
The boatman lowered the pallet and reported to Elder Shui, "Elder, the Alliance Master has arrived!" ”
It turned out that this boatman was the person of the water elder, and Rien was afraid to think about it.
Elder Shui looked at Rien mockingly, and said, "The old man didn't know that the alliance leader was coming, and he missed the distance, so I hope the alliance leader will forgive me!" ”
Rien also bowed his hand and replied, "I came to meet Elder Shui this time just to convey an order, and I don't plan to really visit and stay!" ”
"Whose order? What command? Elder Shui asked.
Li En said: "My order, I have thought it through, cultivation and cultivation are like fire and water, if you want to forcibly suppress it, it can only be suppressed for a while, but it will exacerbate the contradiction between the two factions, only by letting the people of the two factions let go of their hands and fight each other, they will be convinced!" ”
Elder Shui said: "The alliance leader doesn't have to worry about this matter, the cultivation sect is here with the old man, and the old man is already rectifying, and he will definitely not cause trouble with the alliance leader again." ”
Li En said: "I have already informed the Xiuzhen sect to go to Shuhe Ancient Town, where there is a Phoenix Ancient City, let the two factions compete in the ancient city. This is considered a death contract, and it is impossible for the cultivators to not go to it. ”
Elder Shui was a little angry and said, "Since the alliance leader has already decided, then the old man will ask the alliance leader to see how the old man has rectified the Enlightenment Sect." ”
Rien followed him into the village.
The architecture of the water family is also unique, around a wide earthen hill, a circular moat has been dug around, there is a suspension bridge at the entrance, and there is also a sluice.
The waterway flows directly into the center of the village, and the houses in the village are built three feet above the ground, with wooden ladders to enter the houses.
The village does not have walls, but the houses are built so strong that they can be attacked and defended by their own strongholds.
Also in the center of the village, there is a man-made cistern, ten acres of land circle, covered with bamboo planks, from which the water of the entire Shui family comes from. So there are villagers guarding all around.
Elder Water took Ryan to the pool, and the cowhide drums on the roofs on both sides sounded, and the horns also sounded.
I saw a large group of cultivators from the Enlightenment Sect riding on horseback, with pets, and weapons rushing here.
Xiao Biye and Shi Cangwu immediately became nervous, and these people stopped in front of Rien, and then lined up the formation.
All of them are energetic and majestic. It's completely different from Jinghu Water Village.
Elder Shui said loudly: "The old man has integrated the disciples of the Nine Great Sects of the Cultivation Sect into an independent Cultivation Sect, and from then on, the disciples of the Cultivation Sect are no longer subject to the restrictions of the Nine Great Sects. ”
Rien said, "Then the head of the Cultivation Sect must be Elder Shui, right?" ”
Elder Shui shook his head and denied: "As one of the Five Elements Inspectors, the old man is not suitable to be the head of the Cultivation Sect again, and even the old man's family cannot hold the position of the Cultivation Sect. ”
Li En looked at these cultivators, and saw that there was a wooden sign hanging in front of them, on which their identities were written, and the head of the sect was Wang Yang, the former Tianshan faction.
