Chapter 21: Cangyun Pavilion
The mountains are continuous, but one of the greenery is the steepest and most handsome, and the towering peaks stretch straight through the clouds as if they were about to break through the clouds.
This mountain also has a nice name, Yunyun Mountain. Because of its steep terrain, it is difficult for ordinary people to reach, so even though it is unusually handsome, it has become a mountain range that is rarely visited.
At this time, in the depths of the mountain forest halfway up the cloud mountain, I saw a nine-story pavilion standing resolutely here. The pavilion is written on the three big characters of "Cangyun Pavilion", vigorous and powerful, the three-point font into the wood is floating like floating clouds, overbearing like a dragon, and it reveals an indescribable sense of vastness when viewed from a distance.
Looking at the spotless appearance of the pavilion, it looks like someone has always lived here!
The seventh floor of Cangyun Pavilion.
A man dressed in a black brocade girdle was respectfully saluting an old man sitting on a mahogany wheelchair, his face and beard were white, but his black eyes were shining.
When the old man saw the man, he smiled, but the wrinkles on his face were wrinkled together, and the smile was worse than crying.
"Ah Xuan, I heard that Xia Xiao has made a marriage agreement for you and Yan Li, the sixth princess of Luoyan Kingdom." The old man spoke slowly, but perhaps because of his age, he spoke very slowly, as if it had taken a lot of effort to finish normally.
The man was silent for a moment before bowing his head slightly, and replied, "Yes, grandfather." ”
The old man pulled out an ugly smile again and said, "I know that it was not her who you asked to marry, but there is no room for maneuver in this matter, so you don't have to be stubborn anymore." ”
When the man heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the old man and said, "Grandfather, if you have to give up even the woman you want, then what is the point of what I have been trying to do all these years!" ”
The corners of the old man's mouth trembled slightly, he closed his eyes slightly and stopped talking, but the air was filled with manic internal force fluctuations for a moment, and a mahogany table not far away suddenly burst open along with the things placed on it.
But strange to say, under such invisible pressure, the man in black was motionless, his feet were firmly attached to the ground as if they were filled with lead, and his body was straight.
The old man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the man, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Your exercises have improved again." ”
The man did not speak, as if he was silently protesting with silence.
After a long time, the old man retracted his momentum, seemed to sigh lightly, he pushed his wheelchair to the window, and then beckoned to the man: "Ah Xuan, come here." ”
The man walked over as he was told, and stopped in front of the window.
"Look." The old man stretched out his finger to the window with some difficulty, "This Yunshan is inaccessible, and it is difficult for ordinary people to even survive here." Ah Xuan, you tell your grandfather, our Cangyun Pavilion was originally the No. 1 Pavilion in the martial arts, and even the Qixia Kingdom was afraid of us, who doesn't know who doesn't know about this Jianghu? But why, now it has ended up in a situation where you can't go out of the mountains and forests? ”
The man looked out the window in silence and said in a deep voice: "Because my mother gave up the position of young master to marry my father, but my father borrowed my mother's hand to clean Cangyun Pavilion under Ouyang Xian's instigation, and you were seriously injured because of this. Later, his mother was framed to death by Ouyang Xian, and Cangyun Pavilion was completely ownerless, so he had to live in seclusion here. ”
"Not bad!" The old man raised his voice and said, I don't know where the strength came from, he even straightened up a little, and reprimanded, "Your mother was confused back then, are you also confused now!" ”
The ...... man was silent.
"Ah Xuan, as long as you marry that Yan Li, you can get the support of Luo Yan Kingdom, cough cough... You will be more sure of defeating Ouyang Xian's femme fatale woman in the future! Ahem... Are you going to give up this great opportunity? The old man coughed several times in succession.
Seeing the change in the man's eyes, he could no longer be indifferent, he hurriedly squatted down and patted the old man's back to help him get through it. The old man in front of him is his only grandfather! It was he who found himself and told his mother about the past, and then taught himself martial arts and delivered Cangyun Pavilion to himself.
If it weren't for him, maybe under Ouyang Xian's oppression, there would have been no way to live for a long time! Where did Xia Nanxuan come from today? Yes, this man is the sixth prince of Qixia Kingdom, Xia Nanxuan, who was awarded the title of Prince Xuan!
"I didn't want to give up, I just ......," Xia Nanxuan wanted to say.
But the old man directly interrupted his words, and said in an unhappy tone: "It's just that you saw that Yan Xingluo and An An looked alike, so you were reluctant to abandon her, but so?" ”
Xia Nanxuan listened to it and stopped talking.
"Ah Xuan, you are good at everything, but you are just the same as your mother, you are stubborn and confused!
Your mother's revenge has not been avenged, and Ouyang Xian always wants to get rid of you quickly, although the potential power of Cangyun Pavilion is huge, it is still inferior to the army mastered by Ouyang Xian's brother Ouyang Tianhai, besides, they have been suspicious of Cangyun Pavilion for so many years, in such a situation, how can you still care about these children's affection! ”
The old man sighed, "Ah Xuan, grandfather didn't force you. You just need to marry that Yanli back, and in the future, you will overthrow Ouyang Xian and take the throne, and then you will ...... If you are still thinking about Yan Xingluo, marry her again. Don't forget, only when you become the emperor can you get the Nine Turns Soul Restoration Pill to wake up An An who is still asleep. ”
Xia Nanxuan's complexion changed suddenly, his lips pursed on his expressionless cold face, and in the burning gaze of the old man, he gradually bent over, and then suddenly knelt on the ground, his knees suddenly hit the ground and made a heavy sound, he clenched his fists and said with a calm face: "Grandfather, it's the grandson's fault, the grandson knows." ”
The old man bowed slightly, as if relieved.
Xia Nanxuan stood up, looked at the highest level of the Cangyun Pavilion, and said softly, "Grandfather, I want to go and see her." ”
The old man's eyes flashed slightly, and there was no expression on his wrinkled face, "You go." ”
The seventh, eighth, and ninth floors of Cangyun Pavilion are all forbidden places, this is something that everyone in the pavilion knows, Xia Nanxuan walked down the steps to the ninth floor at this time. Pushing open the stone door, a bone-chilling chill hit, Rao Yi Xia Nanxuan's martial arts, and he had to urge the internal force to protect his body to feel better.
This is not an empty stone house, the house is full of ice, so it is so cold, there is no furnishings in the room, only in the center there is an ice coffin about one meter wide, the ice coffin is not as white as ordinary ice, but with some dark blue, which is the expression of the temperature is extremely low.
Xia Nanxuan walked slowly to the side of the ice coffin with gentle steps, and through the dark blue ice of the ice coffin, he could see that a teenage girl was sleeping in the ice coffin! Even through the ice, it can be seen that the girl is extremely beautiful, her complexion is snow-white without a trace of blood, her eyes are closed, her expression is serene and serene, but there is no trace of life.
Xia Nanxuan raised his hand to caress her face through the thick ice, his expression was indescribably gentle and careful, such a look that he had never had even when facing Yan Xingluo. He looked at the girl for a while, and then said softly: "An An, don't worry." If I have promised to protect you from suffering for the rest of your life, I will certainly do it. Although we are destined to be impossible, when I get the Nine Turns Soul Restoration Pill to save you and wake up, I will definitely give you a prosperous world and let you live in peace and joy for the rest of your life. ”
His tone was soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing the beautiful girl, but with absolute firmness.
When Xia Nanxuan left the ninth floor, he didn't go to visit the old man again, but went directly down to the sixth floor. He put on a mask to cover his face, the mask was that of a blue wolf, except for a pair of dark eyes, which had become very firm as he put the mask on.
"Pavilion Master!" Dozens of people in black robes stood in two rows, and when they saw Xia Nanxuan walking down, they knelt down on one knee and saluted almost at the same time.
Xia Nanxuan seemed to have been accustomed to it for a long time, and he slowly walked from the middle of the two rows of kneeling subordinates to the innermost part of the main hall, where the high place in the center was his pavilion master's seat. With a flick of his long sleeves, he turned around and sat on it, and said coldly: "Get up." ”
"Yes!" The dozens of people moved as neatly as if they were the same person's tenths.
"In recent days, how has the industry of our Cangyun Pavilion developed?" Xia Nanxuan's eyes swept over the dozens of subordinates, and asked lightly, but his voice was deliberately a little hoarse.
"Back to the pavilion master, Yinzhuang is currently developing well, and we have gradually infiltrated the industry into the government, steadily occupying the top three of Qixia Guoyinzhuang." A middle-aged man with a steady appearance stepped forward and saluted with a fist, and after he finished speaking, he took a step back and returned to the queue.
Almost at the same time as he retreated to the queue, a slender and tall man stepped forward, the man's face was delicate and handsome, different from the middle-aged man's old age, he had some of the unique rebellious look of young people, but when the man looked at Xia Nanxuan, he completely restrained that trace of rebelliousness, and seemed to be convinced: "Back to the pavilion master, the medicine house is currently developing well." In this Qixia country, if we call it second, I think no one should dare to call it first. ”
Xia Nanxuan bowed slightly to him, but there was a slight smile in his heart, this Chu Shaohua was really sharp as always. However, he was not angry, and even admired it very much, it was precisely because of this that Chu Shaohua was one of the few people among the dozens of core figures in Cangyun Pavilion who had seen his true face, and he was his only friend.
This Chu Shaohua is a famous young doctor in Qixia Kingdom, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his medical talent is amazing, and he can solve many incurable diseases that are difficult to treat by the imperial doctors.
Therefore, the Chuzi Medicine House he is sitting in is unsurpassed in this Qixia Kingdom. But what people don't know is that this Chu Shaohua's father is the previous master of Cangyun Pavilion, in the early years when the Qixia Kingdom cleaned up the power of Cangyun Pavilion, his father was persecuted, and now his medical skills are even better than his father.
Chu Shaohua took a step back, but this time it was a beautiful woman who stepped forward, the woman's name was Wan Mei, she looked like she was twenty-eight years old, her figure was concave and convex, and her eyes were as charming as silk, but when she stood in front of Xia Nanxuan, she was also like Chu Shaohua.
As soon as Wan Mei's voice came out, it was unexpectedly clear and light: "Back to the pavilion master, the Qinglou industry is now broken and established, and one-third of the profit of the Red Sleeve Building has been included in the bag." ”
Wan Mei continued: "The Red Sleeve Building has suppressed my Huayulou many times before, but since the appearance of the new Oiran of the Huayulou, the Red Sleeve Building has no power to parry. ”
Xia Nanxuan was slightly silent when he heard this, and he said: "Although the Qinglou industry is not as profitable as Yinzhuang and Yaozhuang, it is an important place for us to obtain information, and we must ensure its development. ”
"Yes, Pavilion Master!" Evening Mei hugged her fists and saluted.
After all the subordinates finished reporting, Xia Nanxuan stood up and said loudly: "Since Cangyun Pavilion was purged many years ago, we have lived more than ten years of seclusion in the mountains and forests. Now, the opportunity is close at hand, you are the core of my Cangyun Pavilion, I hope you will follow me to make Cangyun Pavilion return to its former glory! ”
"We will definitely follow the pavilion master, and I will never give up!" The uniform voice sounded, and everyone's eyes were so hot and determined.
