Chapter 20: Accidents
The people who came down the mountain went straight to the forging institute.
It was the person sent by Deacon Mingyue to report the news from the mountain, according to him:
Today, a horseman found the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, and was taken to Yunmeng Manor by the miscellaneous student in charge of patrolling, and the man told Deacon Mingyue that he was entrusted by someone to come from Jiangbei to deliver a message.
The message said that a middle-aged man was seriously injured in an attack at the mouth of the river, and was rescued by an old fisherman.
After that, the middle-aged man remained unconscious, and the old fisherman had to ask someone to deliver the letter according to the clues of the words "Yunmeng Wuyuan, Hu Tu".
When Deacon Mingyue learned of this situation, he immediately rushed to Jiangbei with the messenger.
After hearing this, the people of the forging institute were anxious.
Xiao'er cried incessantly, almost fainted, crying while thinking that he would rush to Jiangbei to see his father immediately, which was heartbreaking to watch.
Yushan was anxious and heartbroken, but he couldn't comfort him, so he had to hug the child tightly.
Aunt Lan burst into tears and cried silently because she needed to be strong and needed to take immediate measures.
Uncle Sledgehammer and Uncle Thousand Hammer's faces were like frost, the green tendons on their foreheads and arms were bulging, and their teeth were smacking.
The backyard gate was full of armed men, all of them full of grief and anger, just waiting for Aunt Lan to make arrangements.
Perhaps considering that Mingyue had gone, Aunt Lan finally had to suppress her heart, and rushed to Jiangbei as fast as possible with a sledgehammer and a thousand hammers.
Yao'er was bound to go, so he was protected by two old-timers of the Soul Martial Realm of the Forging Academy at any time, and went to Jiangbei with the team in a carriage.
Naturally, Yushan is also eager to go together.
But his own cultivation is still weak, considering that it will not increase the burden on the escort, and Aunt Lan, who washes her face with tears, also needs to be accompanied, so she has to stay by Aunt Lan's side.
After Yao'er and the others left.
Deacon Guanyun soon came to visit Aunt Lan and suggested that Aunt Lan go down the mountain to live in Yunmeng Manor for the time being, firstly, the news about Hu Tu must first go down the mountain and then to the mountain, and secondly, the elite of the Forging Academy will not be stable when they go out of the mountain.
Aunt Lan accepted Deacon Guanyun's suggestion and went to Yunmeng Manor to find Liang Rou according to Deacon Guanyun's arrangement.
Yunmeng Manor did not have a branch of the Forging Academy, so Aunt Lan and Yushan temporarily settled in the cultivation area dominated by Liang Rou.
Seeing that Yushan was coming, Liang Rou was very enthusiastic and quickly arranged an excellent courtyard for Yushan and Aunt Lan to live in.
In her spare time, Liang Rou would come to visit, first, to comfort Aunt Lan, and second, to accompany Yushan to talk and relieve boredom.
In addition to Liang Rou, there are also more Kui Yan, Kui Yan is also the kind of ordinary student who has no support, the day after tomorrow Kaiyuan and Kaiyuan is not long, and his cultivation is low and weak.
Kui Yu is very iron-clad, Yushan stays with Aunt Lan all day and hardly goes out, and he doesn't know a few people in Yunmeng Manor, so as soon as there is the latest news about the situation outside, Kui Yu will run over and tell Yushan.
Liang Rou has made several big moves recently.
The Yunmeng Manor was renamed the Yunmeng Sect, and there was no mention of the Yunmeng Martial Academy.
The original miscellaneous students are collectively referred to as the outer disciples, and the original formal students are collectively referred to as the inner disciples; the deacons under the cultivation of the original soul martial realm are still called deacons, and the deacons and teachers of the original soul martial realm cultivation are called elders; the pharmacists of the original pill pavilion in the manor medicine field are called offerings, and they are responsible for refining the elixir for the sect.
Liang Rou's own identity is still a deacon, but he is currently acting on behalf of the sect master, saying that all this is explained by Mr. Guanyun.
Naturally, some of them are not convinced.
However, Liang Rou had two more high-level soul martial realm women by her side, the two women looked ordinary and dressed plainly, were taciturn and unfathomable, and were very respectful to Liang Rou, only obeying Liang Rou's orders, just like Liang Rou's attendants.
Next, Liang Rou didn't care about Deacon Mingyue, the Bronze Society or anything, and took over all the original properties of the Yunmeng Martial Academy and the Bronze Society in the county in the name of the Yunmeng Sect, saying that it was used to support the operation of the Yunmeng Sect, after all, there were more than 300 people who needed to live.
Some people want to go up the mountain to report on the situation, and also to learn about some updates on the mountain.
But no one can go up the mountain smoothly, whether they go openly or secretly, they will be intercepted by Liang Rou's people.
Since one day before Liang Rou's restructuring, someone saw Jingshi living in Jingshi, his daughter Yu Xiaoqiao, and Gongzi Quan leading the people of the King Association to go north, and the next day Baicaoju Gongzi Chao went down the mountain alone and rode north, and after that, there was no news on the mountain.
According to Liang Rou's public announcement:
Mr. Guanyun confessed that he was not allowed to go up the mountain without permission, and the invasion of strange beasts on the mountain was very dangerous, and the old gentlemen of the nursing home had no time to take care of the safety of others day and night, and when the situation improved, they would go down the mountain to meet everyone.
Back to that day before the mountain.
In the cliff cave deep in Yunmeng Mountain, several old men who had been sitting still for a long time suddenly moved.
But all the old men just struggled for a while, and tried to stand up but couldn't stand up, and their faces changed suddenly, and they opened their mouths silently, as if they had been strangled by someone's neck.
The cave was filled with smoke, and there was a rare figure standing.
Finally, an old man on the ground struggled to make a sound, "You're not..."
However, he only uttered three words, and after that, he could not make a sound. The standing figure added, "Of course not, it wasn't nineteen years ago. β
The next moment, the figure standing slowly stretched out his hands and spread his ten fingers towards the struggling old men on the ground, sneering-
The sound was harsh, like the sound of skin and flesh roasting on a fire, and with the white smoke dispersing, the bodies of the old men on the ground dried up quickly, and instantly turned into a few dry bones.
The standing figure folded its fingers into a fist.
The air flow on the ground fluctuated violently, and several dry bones immediately turned into powder, even the clothes, and everything was reduced to nothing, leaving no trace.
Quiet Stone House.
The rich middle-aged man sitting in front of the tea table opposite Sun Quan suddenly got up, his face changed slightly, and his heart throbbed inexplicably, but he didn't know why.
After pondering for a while, to no avail, Yu Jingshi turned around and faced in the direction of Baicaoju, releasing his divine sense and probing over.
The lame old man in Baicaoju also throbbed in his heart, and the whole person fell into deep thought.
Yu Jingshi's divine consciousness voice came: "Brother Baicao, do you feel the same way?"
Cao Baicao replied: "Exactly." β
Yu Jingshi continued: "Please Brother Baicao listen to the advice of the younger brother, it is better to go to the Central Plains with the younger brother, and leave the green mountains without worrying about the lack of firewood." β
Cao Baicao replied: "I've been waiting for nineteen years, and I'm looking forward to finding out the mastermind behind the poisoning of Qianfang, and the injustice of the little sister will not be revealed, and I will not leave Yunmeng Mountain half a step." β
"Hey......" Yu Jingshi looked up to the sky and sighed, "Then, Brother Baicao, please take care, and the younger brother will take the first step." β
Later, Yu Jingshi made arrangements for Sun Quan to go down the mountain and go north to the Central Plains on the same day.
At the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, Sun Quan wanted to take a detour to Yunmeng Manor to say goodbye to Yushan, but Yu Jingshi said to him:
"The matter of Yunmeng Mountain has come to this point, there is no union anymore, although he has talent, after all, he is just a passer-by on the side of the road, it is better to see each other than not to see, what can I do?"
Sun Quan obeyed the words, but he turned back from time to time along the way, looking in the direction of Yunmeng Manor.
Baicaoju.
The lame old man called Chao Gongzi to him and said, "Chao'er immediately went down the mountain to the north, and when he arrived in Jiangbei, he went to visit Hu Tu on behalf of his uncle." β
"Why?" Cao Chao opened his mouth and shouted, "Chao'er has long been looking forward to fighting with strange beasts, but now that the time is approaching, Uncle Chao'er has arranged for Chao'er to go to Jiangbei to visit Uncle Hu Tu, can't another person be sent for this matter? β
Cao Baicao shook her head and sighed, "Chao'er, don't mess with the uncle, you understand that the uncle is asking you to return to your parents as soon as possible." β
"Uncle never married, my cousin was worried that I was old and lonely, so he passed Chao'er to the uncle, although the uncle regarded Chao'er as his own, but Chao'er had his own biological parents after all. β
"Your parents went to Jiangbei a few years ago, and now they can be regarded as having taken root, Chao'er is obedient, go. β
Cao Chao sat down, "Don't talk about those who don't have it, Chao'er won't go." β
Cao Baicao glared at him, "When will you see that the words of the uncle will change?"
Cao Chao got up a little frightened, "Since the uncle thinks that he never breaks his word, then ask the uncle to promise Chao'er four words." β
Cao Baicao said: "I will live." β
"Okay, please uncle, don't break your word to Chao'er. β
Cao Chao left the next sentence, ran out of the yard angrily, and ran down the mountain without looking back.
Looking at the distant back, the lame old man closed his eyes slightly, sighed and said silently: "Chao'er, I'm sorry, I'm afraid the uncle is going to break his promise this time." β
Then, the old man opened his eyes and looked in a certain direction, and said in a loud voice: "Ah Xiong, take Ah Ren, Ah Hong, Ah Cheng, bring all the pills in the secret room, go to Jiangbei with the young master, and protect them secretly all the way, and there is no need to show up unless necessary." β
"When you arrive in Jiangbei, wait for my notice, before the notice arrives, no matter what happens, you must not leave the young master's side. β
The figure outside the wall did not move for a long time, and did not reply.
The old man raised his voice: "Ah Xiong." β
The figure outside the wall finally spoke, and his voice trembled: "Master, please let Xiong stay by your side, and the three of them will protect the young master." β
The old man said angrily: "Ah Xiong, do you dare to be disobedient?"
"Master..."The figure outside the wall knelt down and sobbed: "Xiong obeys the order, this is leaving, please take care of the master, take care." β
The middle-aged man burst into tears, kowtowed three times in one breath, got up and turned to run, wiping his tears while running, and looked back at the courtyard.
At this point, there are only people left in the mountains who live in the herbs.
Soon after, some people came out of Baicaoju with packages on their backs and wiped their tears, turned back one step at a time, and slowly descended the mountain, and when they reached the bottom of the mountain, some went to the county town, and some pharmacists went to Yunmeng Manor.
Early August.
There is no news from Jiangbei yet, and Yushan is getting more and more anxious.
The autumn wind rises, the cool is shining, and the fallen leaves are flying, such as people's hearts.
One morning, Yushan woke up and walked in the garden, his brows furrowed and his eyes melancholy.
Suddenly, Kui entered the courtyard and trotted all the way towards the garden.
When he came to the front, he saw Kui Yu kneeling on one knee, clasping his fists and saluting, and opened his mouth with a respectful face: "Disciple ride the mountain to meet the sect master!"
Looking at his serious appearance, Yushan wanted to laugh but couldn't, and said: "Kui Yan, don't make some tricks to make me happy, I'm really worried and can't be happy." β
But after speaking, he didn't see Kui get up, and he still maintained a respectful posture of worship.
Seeing that Kui Yan didn't look like he was joking, the mountain fox asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Kui Yan kept his posture and replied: "Back to the sect master, the disciple doesn't dare to play tricks with the sect master, please ask the sect master to learn clearly." β
"What do you mean?" Yushan was puzzled, and helped Kui Yu up, and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
Kui Yan lowered his head after getting up, his eyes did not dare to look directly, he was still very respectful, and replied: "The disciple came to visit the sect master on the order of the deputy sect master of Liang Rou, and the deputy sect master of Liang Rou arranged for the disciple to serve the sect master in the back, and was ready to be sent by the sect master at any time. β
After hearing this, Yushan stared at him for a while, feeling that it really didn't seem like he was pretending on purpose, so he muttered with dissatisfaction: "What the hell is Deacon Liang Rou doing?"
At this time, Aunt Lan came out of the house and walked over to this side and stayed in front of her.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Lan also took the initiative to salute and respectfully worship: "Internal Affairs Elder Qiu Lan sees the sect master!"
"Aunt Lan..."Yushan was stunned.
For a while, the second monk was confused, if it was possible for Kui Yan to joke, Aunt Lan would definitely not.
Could it be that Liang Rou really made such an arrangement?
Why? Did she ask me to control the mountain? How could I have the idea of being a sect master? How could I be in the mood? How could I be capable?
Yushan had a temper in his heart, saluted Aunt Lan, glared at Kui Yan, and then hurriedly went to Liang Rou.
When the mountain was in advance, Qiu Lan and Kui Yan followed, maintaining respect all the way and keeping a very measured distance.
However, before Yushan stepped out of the gate, he saw Liang Rou smiling and groaning in front of him.
Looks like she should have been at the gate a long time ago.
Her left and right followed the two high-level Soul Martial Realm women.
Seeing her, Yushan was about to ask clearly.
Liang Rou led the two women to take the lead and bowed down and said, "Deputy Sect Master Liang Rou see Sect Master!" "Left and right Dharma protectors participate in the sect master!"
Yu Shan laughed angrily, felt funny, and simply said, "Excuse me." β
After Liang Rou and the three of them straightened up, Yushan opened his mouth and asked, "Now you can always tell what you're doing, right?"
"Yes. Liang Rou bowed to answer first, and then replied: "Mr. Guanyun and the old gentlemen unanimously agreed that Yushan will serve as the sect master of the Yunmeng Sect, and no one shall criticize it, otherwise, they will be expelled from the Yunmeng Sect." β
"Why?" Yushan continued to question, his face was already very ugly, and he felt dizzy and dizzy.
Liang Rou's face was calm, and she replied with a smile: "Sect Master, don't be angry, Rou'er is just acting on orders, and the specific details are not clear." As for the deputy sect master's statement, it was Rou'er's self-style, the purpose was to share the worries of the sect master, after all, it was Rou'er who was acting on behalf of the sect master, and she would not be able to get rid of it for a while, and if the sect master felt that it was not suitable, she could dismiss Rou'er at any time. β
Yushan was so angry that he stopped talking, turned around and walked towards his room.
After entering the room, a person sat at the head of the bed and sulked.
Qiu Lan, Kui Yu, Liang Rou and others followed, stopping outside the door.
After a while, Yushan's mood calmed down and called Aunt Lan.
Qiu Lan entered the room.
Yushan's face was full of grievances, and he called Aunt Lan again, obviously wanting Aunt Lan to tell him what was going on.
"Mountain..."
Qiu Lan finally changed back to the previous Aunt Lan, and showed a long-lost smile, and said with joy: "The news has finally come from Xiao'er's side." β
"Xiao'er is here!" As soon as he heard Xiao'er, Yushan suddenly stood up, and the anger on his face looked at it dissipating, and the corners of his mouth began to smile.
Because it can be seen from Aunt Lan's expression that it is definitely good news.
Uncle Hutu's injuries should be fine, maybe they are already on their way home.
Aunt Lan approached her, took Yushan and sat down and said, "Your Uncle Hu has woken up, although the injury is not light, but it is not a big problem, just recuperate for a while." β
"They will not return to Yunmeng County at the moment, firstly, your Uncle Hu needs to recuperate from his injuries, and secondly, your Uncle Hu will reunite with an old friend who has not been seen for many years. β
"Your Uncle Hu's old friend is named Mi Xuan, who is the head of the Mi family in Yingdu, and the Mi family is one of the several major families in Yingdu, with a profound heritage. β
"And it just so happens that Mi Xian has newly established a forging academy, no, I heard that the Yunmeng Martial Academy is in decline and scattered, so I sincerely invite you Uncle Hu to settle in his forging academy, and in the future, I will leave it to you Uncle Hu to take care of. β
"Considering that you were injured, your cultivation strength has declined, and there are a large number of people under him to live, you didn't refuse Mi Xian's kindness, so you settled down. β
After listening to Yushanda, he was happy in his heart, and all the gloom disappeared.
Then, Yushan couldn't wait to say: "Aunt Lan, then let's go immediately, and rush to Yingdu as soon as possible to find Uncle Hu and Yao'er." β
Seeing Aunt Lan smiling, she shook her head and said, "Shan'er, we are not in a hurry to go to Yingdu." β
"Aunt Lan, why?" Yushan was puzzled.
Aunt Lan said: "Now that you Uncle Hu and they are under the fence after all, it doesn't matter who follows your Uncle Hu, but Shan'er is different, you are the one who wants to marry a child, so you don't want to take this opportunity to build your own career first?"
"Iβ" Yushan pondered.
What Aunt Lan said is not wrong, she is the one who wants to marry a child.
It was just in the Yunmeng Mountain Forging Institute before, after all, it was similar to Uncle Hu's own industry.
But now the forging institute of the Yingdu Mi clan has always been surnamed Mi.
Do you really want to marry a child under the eaves of others?
Wouldn't this be too aggrieved!
Yushan's eyes gradually swelled with fighting spirit.
However, there were still doubts in his heart, so Yushan asked, "Does Aunt Lan think it is really appropriate for Shan'er to be this sect master, and why do they want Mr. Guanyun to let Shan'er be this sect master?"
Aunt Lan smiled and analyzed: "In Aunt Lan's opinion, Guanyun has no choice for them, and this is Shan'er's opportunity. β
"Shan'er, think about it, now the so-called Yunmeng Sect, besides Shan'er, who else is the congenital Kaiyuan? Who is still qualified to be called a genius and a child?"
After Aunt Lan reminded me like this, thinking of this stubble, it is indeed the case.
Yushan nodded silently, still thinking in his heart.
At this time, Liang Rou walked in.
Liang Rou's eyes were sincere, and she said with anticipation: "Please think more about the future of the Yunmeng Sect, Rou'er, please!"
Yushan put away his thoughts and looked up at Liang Rou, and asked without confidence: "Senior Sister Liang Rou really thinks I can do it?"
Liang Rou nodded with tears in her eyes: "Hmm." Junior Brother Yushan will definitely do it! Rou'er firmly believes it!"
"The younger brother of Yushan is a genius son of the congenital Kaiyuan, after the opening of the Yuan, he cultivated in the first Yuan Martial Realm, entered the rank of the intermediate Yuan Martial Realm, and was tied with the Lan Kai of the Fifth Yuan Martial Realm, such an amazing talent, how many people have been in the history of Yunmeng?"
"Rou'er firmly believes that under the leadership of the Sect Master of Yushan, the Yunmeng Sect will go to glory and longevity, and become a stable home for us, so that I can have a stable life. β
Speaking of Liang Rou, she definitely belongs to the people who understand and understand the mountain.
Her last words, a stable home, a stable lifeβthese words played a great role in driving the mountain.
So, Yushan agreed to be the suzerain.
The main hall of the Yunmeng Sect.
Yushan walked into the study room that belonged to him, touched the rows of exquisite books, and felt infinite emotion in his heart, and looked at him with an encouraging smile in his mind, saying that he was waiting for him.
Outside the door, there was a Kui Yu at any time, waiting for the suzerain's order to be sent.
In the hall, there is Liang Rou on duty, and the trivial matters are not disturbed, and the important things are reported to the suzerain and decided by the suzerain.
On the left and right side halls, two high-level soul martial realm left and right protectors guarded to ensure safety.
In the backyard of the main hall, Aunt Lan, the internal affairs elder who belongs to Yushan, personally arranges the diet and living of Yushan.
There are also the front and back of the main hall, the left and right periphery, and there are always inner disciples with high martial arts standing guard and patrolling patrols.
If it weren't for Yushan's own resolute disagreement, then there would still be a group of young and beautiful female disciples entering the main hall and backyard to act as personal maids.
This kind of formation makes people suddenly dream.
Yushan is naturally uncomfortable, and he feels like he has become the emperor in the storyteller's mouth overnight, living an emperor-like life.
Especially the small figure of Kui Yu gives people the feeling that his mother is more and more like a eunuch, and even speaks with a little chicken mulberry, yin and yang.
Once Yushan couldn't stand it anymore, so he dragged him in and beat him up, asking him if he dared to do this?
Kui Yan looked innocent and nodded again and again to show that he was afraid.
But it didn't take long for him to heal his scars and forget the pain, which made the eunuch's feeling more intense.
Yushan is helpless, who makes himself only have such a familiar peer around him now.
In the following days, in fact, there was nothing to do in Yushan, the only thing was to cultivate and become stronger.
However, since he has sat in this position, Yushan must have to ask and adjust in a certain matter, that is, the affairs of the Yunmeng Sect's industry, the Qian Zhuang and the medical center.
Yushan called Liang Rou and asked her to write down the operation of the money village and the medical center on a piece of paper in detail.
After reading it, Yushan crossed out a lot of things with a pen and wrote:
In the future, Qian Zhuang is not allowed to cooperate with the medical center. Money banks are not allowed to lend, but only do the business of exchanging bank bills, and charge reasonable fees to make profits. The cost of medicinal materials and treatment in the clinic should be reasonable, and it must be affordable for the people.
Liang Rou looked at it and frowned slightly, and muttered, "If this is the case, it will greatly reduce the income of the sect and make it difficult to maintain it." β
Yushan said decisively, "Then take out the money from the money bank and do more other business, open restaurants, inns, markets, etc., as long as it is a serious business, you can make money without conscience." β
Seeing that Yushan was so assertive, Liang Rou smiled slightly and nodded yes.
However.
For Yushan, whether all these sudden changes are great luck or shocking conspiracy can only be verified with the development of events.
