Chapter 2 "In the Hall of Long Resignation"

The mountain wind blew the seven ancient camphor trees outside the Lingkong Palace, and the branches and leaves swaying in the wind were as soft as a beauty's soft waist. Sima Zhengqing looked at her expression, turned around and sighed and said, "Xin'er, you come with me."

Xiao Xinyi was stunned for a moment, Xin'er was her name at home, how did the master know. She has been studying art at the Holy Gate of Medicine for ten years, and the master has always only called her a disciple, which is a bit abnormal today.

Although Sima Zhengqing's hair is white, his back is still straight, although his beard reaches his chest, there are not a few wrinkles on his face.

Sima Zhengqing walked unhurriedly in front, Xiao Xinyi followed behind him three steps, a little uneasy, and looked at the direction that the master took her to, this is the way to the Changci Palace. The Hall of Eternal Resignation is an ancestral hall where the tablets of the ancestors and meritorious disciples of the Twin Holy Gates are placed, and each disciple of the Twin Sacred Gates is proud to be able to enter the Hall of Eternal Resignation after death. The Hall of Long Resignation is also the largest hall except for the Sky Hall.

Far away, Xiao Xinyi saw the three big characters of the dark gold long resignation hall on the plaque of the ancestral hall, as well as the inscriptions on the left and right sides of the door. On both sides of the ancestral hall path, neatly manicured evergreens are planted. As soon as I approached the gate of the ancestral hall, a sad and solemn feeling came to my face, this is the place where countless heroic souls of the Shuangsheng Gate rest, and there is silence, only the wind and the whispers.

Xiao Xinyi followed Sima Zhengqing to bow three times to the Changci Palace, and then walked to the front to open the door of the hall, and the white snow silk soft Luo hung down from the roof, isolating dozens of tablets in the middle of the ancestral hall. On the right side of the snow silk are the tablets of hundreds of elders of the past dynasties, and on the left side are the tablets of the meritorious disciples of the two holy gates.

Xiao Xinyi poured water from the wooden barrel on the side and put it into the brass basin, followed Sima Zhengqing to clean his hands, lit up three incense sticks and handed them to him, Sima Zhengqing took the incense and bowed three times, was silent for a while before inserting the incense into the copper furnace, and then walked to the right side of the ancestral hall and gently opened the closed wooden door of the side room.

There were many tablets in the side room, and Xiao Xinyi had spent a night counting them one by one, a full two thousand five hundred and sixty-three. This room full of tablets was added ten years ago. The two thousand five hundred and sixty-three disciples were all killed at the foot of the imperial city in order to save those self-righteous martial arts masters. Xiao Xinyi lit a handful of incense, respectfully raised it above his head and knelt on the futon to worship three times, got up and inserted a handful of incense into the copper furnace, turned around and burst into tears. She hadn't been here a few times, it wasn't that she didn't want to come, she just didn't know how to deal with these two thousand five hundred and sixty-three Heroic Souls.

"Xin'er." Sima Zhengqing finally opened his mouth, "Tomorrow, you will go down the mountain with Leng Moyan, a disciple of the Poison Holy Gate, and go to Zhuge Villa to congratulate Zhuge Haochu on his birthday." ”

Xiao Xinyi's face was not dry with tears, and he looked up at him in shock and asked, "Master, are you willing to let me go down the mountain?"

Sima Zhengqing replied: "It's been ten years, it's time to get a result."

The moon shines on the fragrant tree, and the fresh leaves contain Su Hui. Sad and cherishes the spring night, Dashu wants to be rocky.

When Xiao Xinyi returned to her room, it was already late, Sima Zhengqing left her to have dinner in the Lingkong Palace, and when she came back, she was holding a red sandalwood square box in her hand, and there was a small Lantian jade box in the square box, and in the jade box was a red pill with a shimmering glow, and the master told her that the red pill was called "Blood Jade Tai Sui".

Xiao Xinyi stood by the window with a square box and didn't move for a long time, tonight the starlight was dim, and only the missing corner of the moon hung alone in the sky.

Her elder brother Zhong Yuan once mentioned to her the Blood Jade Tai Sui, which was said to be an elixir that could give birth to human flesh and bones. She thought that this medicine was just a legend, but she didn't expect her master to really have it, not only did she have it, but she also gave it away, and also gave it to Zhuge Haochu, the current leader of the Martial Arts Alliance.

When Xiao Xinyi took the wooden box, she wanted to ask her master, is Zhuge Haochu worthy of him? But when the words came to her lips, she still couldn't ask. Yes, what qualifications does she have to ask this sentence, in the past ten years, although she has not been able to go down the mountain, she has a "Martial Arts Biography" brought back to her by her senior brother Zhong Yuan, which clearly writes what Zhuge Haochu did in the martial arts. A virtuous gentleman and a righteous person praised by everyone in the rivers and lakes, what qualifications does she have to question. Fortunately, Sima Zhengqing did not ignore the expression on her face, and said, "When you return from the mountain, I will tell you everything about ten years ago, and before that, don't do it willfully, you may be able to do it" was an answer to her.

She can naturally do it, she has endured it for so many years, so why not endure it for a few more days.

Early the next morning, Xiao Xinyi had just eaten breakfast and was packing up. Hu Guyue broke into her room in a hurry, holding two sets of clothes in her hands, dark brown coarse linen clothes, two tulle hats, and shouted as soon as she entered the door: "I'm so angry, why do you let Leng Moyan's girl go with you, why don't you let me go with you, she often goes down the mountain, and I often go down the mountain, I can also lead the way."

Xiao Xinyi turned to look at his puffed little face, and wanted to tease him a few words, but he was really in a bad mood, so he just comforted him lightly: "I have to travel for many days when I go out this time, after all, you are a man, and it is inconvenient to travel with me, not to mention that she represents the Poison Saint Master this time, and I will let you take me down the mountain when I have the opportunity in the future."

Hu Guyue's face looked a little better and said, "Senior sister, I can remember what you said, you have to count what you say."

Xiao Xinyi nodded: "Naturally, it will count."

Hu Guyue smiled and told her about some things to pay attention to at the bottom of the mountain, what to check all the inside of the house before latching the door, what to always beware of people who are secretly close to her, what to smell before eating, whether there is poison before eating, the chatter reminded Xiao Xinyi of Granny Li, who took care of her when she was a child.

Before Hu Guyue finished speaking, she heard Leng Moyan's voice coming: "Who are you bluffing with these useless nonsense."

Hu Guyue stood up with a loud voice: "Leng Moyan, if you want me to bluff me, you don't care who I bluff." After speaking, he immediately reacted, "I'm bah, who is bluffing, what I said is good words, experience talks, who you say is nonsense." ”

"That's you." Leng Moyan looked at his incoherent appearance and rolled her eyes.

Xiao Xinyi had a headache when he saw that the two of them were arguing when they met, and quickly pulled Leng Moyan behind him and said to Hu Guyue: "Okay Guyue, I have written down everything you said, I will pay attention to it very carefully, Mo Yan and I are going to change clothes, you go out first."

Hu Guyue suppressed the breath in her heart, glanced at Leng Moyan and said, "Good men don't fight with women, so I don't have the same knowledge as her." Senior sister, the two horses I bought are still down the mountain, and I will feed them to their fullest, so that they can run faster and let my sister come back sooner. ”

Xiao Xinyi smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go."
