It is rumored that the boat taken by Dayu was overturned by the huge waves, and its location is beautiful, and the feng shui is excellent, so there are high monks and celebrities gathered here in all dynasties.

Mingjiao can develop this place into a hidden rudder, and his skills are not small.

Strange places will produce strange people, and strange people will give birth to strange things.

In the first hour of the slow climb, Wen Xuan heard all kinds of anecdotes from Zhou's mouth alone enough to write a surprising essay.

On both sides of the stone steps up the mountain are one after another Buddha statue stone carvings, but none of them are repeated, Wen Xuan also understood the origin of the name of the Buddha temple under the mountain.

"If 'going down the mountain and being happy' refers to the village of peace and happiness under the mountain, surely we will see 'going up the mountain and purifying the heart' later, right?"

"My son is smart, you see, there is the Pure Heart Pavilion in front." Zhou praised his son and pointed upward.

Wen Xuan looked at it and found that there was indeed a pavilion of considerable scale built here, and there was a huge stone tablet standing in front of the pavilion, which was engraved with two rich characters, which were the words "pure heart" that Wen Xuan was talking about.

The Pure Heart Pavilion is built at the intersection of the Inner Cloud Creek on the mountain and the outer Cloud Creek at the bottom of the mountain, and the trickling stream gently beats the gravel to make a pleasant "ding dong" sound, so that the body and mind can relax involuntarily.

Wen Xuan then looked into the pavilion, only to find that there was only one man in black waiting to greet them.

The man was dressed in a black hooded robe, enveloping his entire body, and the face was covered with a black mask that covered his face, and he could not even tell whether he was a man or a woman, old or young, except that he could see that he was well-proportioned and straight.

"Just one person? Isn't this treatment too shabby? Wen Xuan muttered quietly.

"Shabby? The leader of the Ming Sect personally went down to the middle of the mountain to greet him, and there are only ten people with this qualification in the whole day, and your father is barely one. There was a hint of pride in Zhou's words, and after speaking, he pulled his son and followed behind Wen Xianzhong.

This person is the leader of the Ming Sect? Wen Xuan's gaze at him became solemn.

"It's an honor for Wen to be welcomed by the sect leader." Wen Xianzhong, who was walking in the front, quickly climbed a few stone steps after seeing the man in black, and bowed his hand after standing up.

Zhou took Wen Xuan and bowed slightly.

The man in black nodded in return, followed by a deep and deep male voice from behind the mask, "Old Man Wen doesn't need to be polite, this time it's thanks to your old man who is in charge of the overall situation." ”

"This is a matter of Wen's responsibility."

Wen Xianzhong politely said and then said: "Besides, the village has been burned, I ...... it."

The black-clothed sect leader waved his hand to interrupt his words, and said slowly: "If it weren't for the wisdom of Wen Lao, I'm afraid that the current situation of the Ming Sect would be even worse."

"Could it be that something really happened outside the mountain?" Wen Xianzhong immediately thought of the bad news brought by Xu Nong, and his face became more and more tense.

"I also received the secret report last night, but where did Elder Wen get the news?"

"It was Xu Nong who said it."

"The master of the Qinglong Hall's Fire Altar?" The black-clothed sect leader's tone was a little surprised.

"Not bad." Wen Xianzhong immediately recounted Xu Nong's affairs, but did not say a word about his strange injuries.

After hearing this, the black-clothed sect leader thought for a moment, and said softly: "Let's take everyone up the mountain first, and Xu Nong's matter will be discussed later." ”

After speaking, he walked out of the Pure Heart Pavilion with a wave of his long sleeves, stood proudly in front of the villagers, and said loudly: "Li Mou is a representative of the Ming Sect, thank you for the grace of all the apologists!" ”

Lee? Could this man be ...... Our Master? Who else but him dares to speak for the entire Ming Sect!

Mingjiao has always been known for its mystery and unpredictability, and as the sect leader, he is naturally a dragon who does not see the end, so that many villagers have been talking for a long time and have not guessed who this man in black is, until he said this sentence and did not dare to think about the sect leader.

"It's the Sect Master!"

A villager exclaimed with an incredulous expression, and immediately knelt down on the stone steps and trembled and shouted, "Welcome to the sect leader!" ”

The others also reacted immediately, and instantly knelt down on the stone steps of the mountain road, "Welcome to the sect leader!! ”

Only Li Nuniang and her two sons retreated to the stone steps on the edge of the cliff, without saluting or kneeling.

"Get up, those who join my Ming Sect are brothers, but there is no rule of kowtowing." The black-clothed sect leader's voice sounded without a trace of emotion, and it felt like an emperor was dominating the world.

"I have ordered that your families be settled on the mountain, and that you may be reunited with them on the mountain. As for the brothers who unfortunately lost their lives for the sake of apologetics, I, Li, have nothing to repay in this life, so I can only pray day and night to King Ming to bring them to the light. ”

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

After the black-clothed sect leader finished speaking, he and Wen Xianzhong walked towards the mountain first.

"Mother, what's the name of the sect leader?"

Zhou shook his head, "Very few people know his name, only the surname Li." ”

"I see that my father and Li Nanniang have obviously different attitudes towards the sect leader from others?"

"Our Wen family does not believe in any Ming king, your father has no position in Mingjiao and has no real power, and the relationship with Mingjiao should be regarded as an alliance to be precise."

"If my father wants to overthrow the Yuan court, he will definitely need the help of the Mingjiao forces, and if the Mingjiao wants to cause trouble, he also needs my father's reputation as a descendant of the Wen family."

"You know these words in your heart."

Wen Xuan nodded noncommittally, he had already known the relationship between the Wen family and the Mu family from his father's mouth. The ancestor of the family, Wen Tianxiang, once had a great kindness to the Mu family, who was born in the rivers and lakes, and since then, the men of the Mu family have been closely guarding the descendants of the Wen family for generations.

"But even so, isn't the nurse's reaction too cold and resistant?"

Zhou first let out a long sigh, and then said patiently: "This is going to talk about the big event ten years ago, when you were all young, and the Wen family and the Mu family had just entered the mountain for a few years. In that year, Mingjiao secretly wanted to start an incident, but in the end it failed due to poor planning. That time, the Ming Sect suffered extremely heavy losses, and even the previous sect leader did not come back alive. Although your father had strongly opposed it beforehand, he was forced to participate, and in order to rescue him safely, Mu Chong and Tie Niu's father and many others risked their lives in it. ”

Wen Xuan showed a sudden expression, "So that's the case, so the nurse has a grudge against Mingjiao, and Tie Niu will complain about his father like this after he gets drunk that day." ”

"You also know your nurse's temper, after learning the news of Mu Yun's unfortunate death, she almost poured all the strange insects and strange herbs she had developed all her life into Neiyun Creek, but fortunately, I found it in time and dissuaded it, otherwise I might not know how many people would die in the Covered Boat Mountain."

Wen Xuan gasped, she didn't expect that Li Nanniang's straightforward and expansive appearance would hide such an infatuated and resolute heart!
