Chapter 12: The Golden Lotus Viper
The moment Qiao Yiling's cup was put down, there happened to be a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Someone pushed open the door, and Qiao Yiling looked up and saw that it was Xu Yunxi.
Qiao Yiling put down the cup and got up: "Brother Xu! I ......"
"Golden Lotus Sect, huh?" Xu Yunxi spoke softly.
"No, I want to join you."
Xu Yunxi looked surprised.
After Xu Yunxi sat down, Qiao Yiling continued: "I know that you must be a strict organization, and the fact that Master Jiang Zhuang entrusted you to investigate the whole matter is enough to show his trust in you. Although Ling'er is not a man, but he also has rivers and lakes in his heart, I am willing to go with you to the soup and fire, find out the truth, and return the martial arts to peace. ”
Xu Yunxi did underestimate this girl's temperament, she obviously inherited her father's heroic righteousness.
Xu Yunxi didn't know what to say for a while, but called her softly: "Girl, you ......"
"Brother Xu, don't talk about me as a child, I've already passed my eighteenth birthday, and I'm not much different from your age."
Xu Yunxi was stunned, smiled, asked her to sit down, and then told Qiao Yiling about the origin of Yunxia.
It turns out that Xu Yunxi has also liked the chivalrous spirit of the rivers and lakes since he was a child, and he has traveled alone since he was sixteen years old, and he has made many friends since then. Later, when he was a little older, he knew more about the way of the rivers and lakes, and he respected the establishment of Yanyu Villa, which not only solved the way of survival of the people in the rivers and lakes, but also maintained the rules of the rivers and lakes in an orderly manner and reduced disputes, so he also followed this law and recruited a group of like-minded people to form "Yunxia".
Yunxia is a secret organization, so there are not so many constraints, and it is relatively free to act, and it is more advantageous and not easy to expose. Everyone works together, abides by principles, abides by chivalrous ways, does not persecute innocent people for personal gain, and does not let go of any martial arts scum.
Xu Yunxi's original intention of establishing Yunxia was to complement each other with Yanyu Villa, and now, it is indeed his turn to complete his mission.
Qiao Yiling was greatly moved after hearing this, she seemed to see the high-spirited appearance of her father before, and he was also a handsome young man, riding the rivers and lakes with a sword, finding his own mission in continuous exploration, and returning to seclusion without regrets after completion.
Xu Yunxi looked at her and shouted tentatively: "Miss Qiao?"
Qiao Yiling came back to his senses and praised Xu Yunxi from the bottom of his heart: "Brother Xu, you are so amazing!"
Xu Yunxi smiled lightly, and Qiao Yiling asked again: "So, did Brother Sheng join Yunxia later?"
"Well, about a year ago, we hit it off at first sight, we had a good conversation, and he also had a heart to take on heavy responsibilities, so we naturally coincided."
"Can I then?" Qiao Yiling looked straight at Xu Yunxi, his eyes clear and firm.
Xu Yunxi actually had a trace of panic, and hurriedly reached for the wine jug to avoid her gaze, "Of course, with the help of Qiao Nuxia, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”
"Brother Xu laughed." Qiao Yiling smiled shyly,
After that, Xu Yunxi told Qiao Yiling in detail about the origin of the Golden Lotus Sect. The Golden Lotus Sect is a drug sect that was introduced from outside the Saiwai a few years ago, and is famous for refining drugs, as long as someone pays a high price, they are willing to take over the task and kill people indiscriminately regardless of reason. And because their residence is desolate and hidden, the outside is shrouded in poisonous gas, and the inside is full of poison, and the government is helpless, although the people of the rivers and lakes are shameless, they rarely provoke, so they are becoming more and more rampant.
"Since the death of Fu Jiuxing, the former head of the Golden Lotus Sect last year, the current Golden Lotus Sect is headed by the young master Fu Chengyan, although this person is young, but he has a deep mind, a treacherous personality, and ruthless methods, which is better than his father. Now he has the golden snake, the ice toad, the black scorpion, the thousand feet, the poisonous four niang five protectors, all of whom are extremely difficult to deal with, this time to send the two protectors here, it must not be simple, if you bump into it, it is best not to entangle too much. ”
After Qiao Yi knew the truth, he asked, "Then what should we do next?"
Xu Yunxi replied: "Lingyun is rushing to inform the owner of Jiang Zhuang to take precautions, and in addition, I asked Ziyan to check their whereabouts and who they have contact with. For the rest, we have to see what variables are available at the election meeting. ”
"Good!" Qiao Yiling nodded.
In the evening, after Ziyan came back, everyone sat around the table.
Ziyan said: "The Golden Lotus Sect only came to the two protectors of the Golden Snake and the Poisonous Siniang, and they temporarily lived in the Jiuyi Pavilion. As for the Xiandu faction, everyone else came, but the charter wind hadn't seen anyone yet. ”
"Does he want to hide for the rest of his life?" Xu Yunxi opened the folding fan thoughtfully.
"Wait, there's one day tomorrow." Sheng Lingyun said unhurriedly.
"However, Shen Shiyi's eldest disciple Yan Lan also came with the Flame Sword Sect and the upper and lower bodies clothed in Susu." Ziyan added.
"Trouble again? I made it very clear to them. Sheng Lingyun looked helpless.
"Don't rush yet, I'll take a look tomorrow." Xu Yunxi patted him on the right shoulder.
Then they went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day, Xiao Ziyan and Qiao Yiling went to visit the movements of the Golden Lotus Sect together, Sheng Lingyun went to find Yan Lan, and Xu Yunxi went to the city to investigate the whereabouts of the charter wind.
At the end of the day, the Golden Lotus Sect was very peaceful, but with the poison on the two of them, no one around them dared to provoke them.
The two of them entered the store and sat down, Qiao Yiling looked at the golden snake from afar, and he didn't feel a chill.
Xiao Ziyan also teased her: "If you're afraid, if you're afraid, don't volunteer next time."
Qiao Yiling stiffened: "I'm not afraid, I just think that thing is wrapped around my body, slippery and greasy, it's so uncomfortable!"
Xiao Ziyan chuckled lowly.
And in the distance, Poison Siniang tapped the table to hint at the golden snake: "The next two have been with us for a day."
"I know." The golden snake didn't reply, touched the snake's head, and said dotingly: "My little snake wants to bite."
After a while, the two of them were still sitting as always, and Xiao Ziyan saw that the time was almost up, and called Qiao Yiling to leave. Who knew that when the two of them were about to go out, the golden snake suddenly stopped Qiao Yiling: "Little girl, you are afraid of snakes!"
When Qiao Yiling was stunned and didn't know how to answer, Xiao Ziyan dragged her hard: "Go!"
The two of them stepped out of the threshold, and behind them was the shadow of a snake scurrying over. Qiao Yiling endured her fear, Xiao Ziyan grabbed her arm tightly, and the two quickly escaped with light skills.
The golden snake and the poisonous Siniang didn't chase after them, but laughed in the back.
Back in Xiantingju, Qiao Yiling's face was still pale, Sheng Lingyun and Xu Yunxi anxiously asked what was wrong?
Xiao Ziyan replied truthfully: "We were discovered."
Xu Yunxi poured Qiao Yiling a glass of water, gently stroked her back, and said, "It seems that they don't dare to do anything, they just scare people."
Sheng Lingyun watched Qiao Yiling's face soften a little from the side, and then he spoke: "In this way, they are really for tomorrow's conference."
"The charter wind also appeared, and he went to see Jiang Xiaotian first." Xu Yunxi said as he glanced at Qiao Yiling again.
Qiao Yiling finally relented and muttered in a low voice, "I'm sorry."
Xu Yunxi comforted her gently: "Human nature, it's okay if you're fine."
Xiao Ziyan also blamed himself on the side: "Blame me for being too imprudent."
Xu Yunxi tapped his shoulder with a folding fan: "Okay, no one is wrong, everyone is fine."
Sheng Lingyun also smiled warmly and comforted: "After all, our opponent is not an ordinary person." Then he said that he went to Yan Lan today and said: "They are just to offer condolences to the master, strive for the truth, and have no malicious intent."
"Then wait for tomorrow's explanation!" Xu Yunxi rubbed the bridge of his nose with his hand.
Then several people looked at Qiao Yiling with concern, Qiao Yiling waved his hand and said that it was okay, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
After returning to the room, Sheng Lingyun stood by the window for a while, the moonlight was bright, and the clear light was all sprinkled on him, making his whole portrait hidden in the mist, and his whole body was covered with clear light. He stood like this, thoughtfully, then picked up the jade flute, played an unknown tune, and then went to sleep.
Qiao Yiling was lying on the bed, she felt very relieved when she heard this clear sound, the previous fear slowly dissipated, she thought that she must ask for advice another day, and gradually fell asleep.
Xu Yunxi combed through the context of the matter, found the incision point, and imagined the situation tomorrow, thinking about it and falling asleep.
Xiao Ziyan didn't know what he was thinking, and soon fell asleep.
Finally, when the Yanyu Villa conference began, the villa had set up a ring on Fengming Lake early, surrounded by a row of pavilions built on all sides, surrounded by an empty and flat green space, which could accommodate nearly 1,000 people.
Jiang Xiaotian is dying, but he is still iron-clad, upright, not angry, and self-assured, and when he comes to power, there is silence below. "Thank you for coming to Yanyu Villa, today is the selection meeting for the new owner of Yanyu Villa, here, Jiang has to say a little more."
His voice was full of energy, sonorous and powerful, Qiao Yiling thought, no wonder Brother Xu and they were willing to listen to him, listening to the voice, they knew that his spirit was extraordinary, and he was a hero admired by thousands of people.
"There are rules for accepting people in Yanyu Villa: traitors and treacherous people will not be accepted; Those who disregard human ethics will not be accepted; Those who give it privately will not be accepted; Those who bully others with power will not accept it; Persecute the innocent, don't accept ......" The owner of Jiang Zhuang was still listing various rules, and there were already a few people feeling uneasy.
"In addition, if there is any faction that wants to hide from the world and confuse the public, don't blame the old man for being ruthless."
After Master Jiang Zhuang finished speaking, a disciple came up with a wine plate, which contained three bowls of wine, Jiang Xiaotian raised his hand and motioned him to stand aside, and then said: "It is Jiang's luck that all the heroes gather in the villa today, and Jiang also borrows wine to help the fun, and the morale of the big guy!"
After finishing speaking, he picked up a bowl sideways, and said: "This first bowl of wine should be paid tribute to the predecessors and sages who founded Yanyu Villa, they were chivalrous and courageous, and they cared about martial arts, and opened up Yanyu Villa for future generations, so that we can be stable for decades." After speaking, he drank it all, and the audience applauded.
"In the second bowl of wine, Jiang respects the owners of Yushan Villa for generations, who have fulfilled their duties and worked hard, and the inheritance of the villa is due to their loyal protection." Jiang Xiaotian was speechless, and his momentum was heroic, "At the same time, Jiang also dared to tell all the seniors and brothers who supported Jiang with a clear conscience that during Jiang's stay in the village, he was strict with himself, strictly obeyed the rules of the village, and lived up to your high expectations." The second bowl of wine was also served.
"The last bowl of wine, Jiang Moujing to all the heroes present. There are many talents in the rivers and lakes, you are all rising stars, and you are willing to enter the door of my villa, which is the blessing of the villa. However, Jiang has to say a word here, Yanyu Villa has been established for more than 40 years, and the reason why it can stand tall in the rivers and lakes is because the villa is integrated from top to bottom, abides by the rules of the village, does not cling to the powerful, does not cheat, is diligent and steadfast, and operates properly. Today, no matter which hero wins the championship, I hope that you will always put the villa first in your actions in the future. Heroes should know that the owner of Yanyu Villa has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and should live and die with the villa! The owner of Jiang Zhuang was arrogant, and as soon as his voice fell, he raised his head and poured wine into his throat, and there was a cheer below, and everyone was moved.
