Mingyu Mountain, is a high mountain in the east of South Vietnam, the grass and trees are flourishing, snakes, insects, rats and ants are everywhere, all the year round are shrouded in a layer of faintly bright red poisonous miasma, the local people call it peach blossom miasma.
There is a layer of red smoke miasma shrouded in shades of green, and from a distance, it looks like a peach blossom blooming in the mountains and forests, and the pink is steaming and the sun is blue, so beautiful that it is not like the world, but like a fairyland.
However, the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are often become.
The people of the whole South Vietnam know that the peach blossom miasma cannot be approached, because the miasma is not a fairyland, but purgatory, and the peach blossom miasma contains a highly poisonous poison that can kill people in an instant.
Different from the rudder of the Suluo sect in Lingcheng, the mountains and forests here are boundless, and those poisonous insects and poisonous weeds and poisonous flowers, half of them are natural, half are artificial, and the natural peach blossom miasma makes the whole Mingyu Mountain a mysterious and unpredictable place, and people should not approach.
Except for the people in the Suluo Sect, others don't dare to approach at all, and even if they do, they won't survive, not to mention the peach blossom miasma in the mountains, even those who are invulnerable to poison will lose their way in it.
The main altar of the Suluo sect is located in the depths of the peach blossom miasma, but there is no beauty, like the palace-like scenery, but just a bamboo house and wooden house, like the deep mountains, the ordinary village of the South Vietnamese people.
At the beginning, Lan Ruohua took refuge in the imperial court and took away most of the sect members, but there were still a few elders and some sect members guarding the altar.
When Lan Ruohua escaped from Lingcheng, the stakes were very high, and he was afraid of leaking the news, so he didn't tell them in advance when he came, but fortunately, they were all their own people, and they came in unimpeded all the way, but when they arrived at the gate of the village, they still alarmed people and were surrounded by groups.
These sect members have not seen their sect leader for more than ten years, and they have long forgotten what Lan Ruohua looks like, not to mention, Lan Ruohua escaped through the fire, and then came back non-stop, not to mention sleeping all the way, let alone changing her clothes and cleaning it, therefore, at this time, she was not to mention her gray face after the smoke and fire, and even her facial features were a little unrecognizable, and she was embarrassed.
Therefore, after reporting their identities, those people still did not disperse, but looked at her more and more vigilantly, and then said, "Since the sect leader has returned, please ask the sect leader to ask for a fatwa so that we can identify it." ”
Fatwa? Lan Ruohua frowned, that thing was still in Lan Su'er's hand, and she naturally didn't have it at the moment.
"Bold! Are you questioning the identity of the Sect Master? Lan Ling'er was also embarrassed, snorted, stepped forward, and was about to show the blade in her hand.
The same was true of the remaining cultists behind her, and as a result, those in the stockade also raised their swords, and in an instant, the swords were bright and the swords were rattling.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
Two shouts came out in succession, one from the confrontation between the two sides.
Lan Ruohua's voice fell, and when he heard the same sound on the other side, he raised his eyes and saw that he was walking out of the village, dressed in dark blue cloth and embroidery, with gray hair, holding a wooden staff in his hand, but he was a very agile figure when he walked, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
After taking a step forward, he crossed his hands in front of his chest and made a big salute, "How is the Great Elder?" ”
This Great Elder was the Dharma Protector of her master when he was alive, when Lan Ruohua's sisters were fighting for power, she stood on Lan Ruohua's side and helped her, so after Lan Ruohua became the sect leader, she also became the great elder above 10,000 people under one person in the sect.
Lan Ruohua has been to Lingcheng all these years, and this Mingyu Mountain General Altar is her biggest.
The Great Elder stepped forward and looked at her, but he was busy bowing and saluting, "Sect Master! These believers are ignorant and offended, and I ask the master for forgiveness. ”
"The Great Elder is serious, and they are also faithful to their duties. Blame me, I can't prove my identity, and I can't blame them. ”
The Great Elder glanced at their group, and saw that they were all embarrassed, and their eyes couldn't help flashing, and then their eyes fell on the back, and when they were held by two powerful Si Wu, their eyes were slightly stagnant, only for a moment, and they moved away.
There may be a lot of doubts in my heart, but when the words came to my lips, I turned a corner and said, "The sect leader has worked hard all the way, so my subordinates will let them go to take care of one or two things first, and the sect leader will bathe and change clothes first, eat something and rest for a while." ”
This way was exhausted, and at this time, Lan Ruohua could be regarded as relieved, and said with a slightly gentle expression, "There is Elder Laoda." ”
The Great Elder immediately turned to the man beside him and commanded.
Lan Ruohua glanced back coldly and said, "Throw people into the dungeon for me first, keep them firmly guarded, and wait for me to ask later, if there is a business trip, only you will ask." ”
"Yes." The two warriors who were holding the man answered, and then escorted the man away.
The man raised his head at this moment, his unkempt hair was unkempt, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, shining, smiling and looking at the Great Elder, and greeted him very warmly, "Great Elder, I haven't seen you for so many years, have you aged like this?" It's really unforgiving! ”
Lan Ruohua frowned and waved his hand, asking the two Si Wu to take people down quickly.
The man was pushed forward involuntarily, but he muttered dissatisfiedly, "Senior sister, you are too inauthentic like this, how many years have I left Mingyu Mountain, and now that I have finally returned, I just talked to the Great Elder, why can't you tolerate it?" ”
"Great Elder...... Fetch me a pot of wine in a while, come and see me in the dungeon, and we will have a good time! ”
The last two sentences were shouted at the top of their voices, and at a distance of some distance, they fell into the ears of the person who was frozen, and they were particularly ridiculous.
The Great Elder was stunned for a moment before coughing twice and said, "Fang Cai...... Is that wishful? ”
"It's hard for the Great Elder to recognize it at a glance. You can also see that she has made herself look like a ghost over the years, but also, when she was still in the sect in the past, she was the best friend of the Great Elder. ”
When the Great Elder heard this, his face changed slightly, and he lowered his head and said, "This happened many years ago, but because her subordinates and her both love to drink, when they had nothing to do in the past, they liked to get together for two drinks. ”
"That's better than how much I can say as a senior sister. Just right...... I'll go wash and change my clothes now, and eat something to rest by the way, if it's convenient for the Great Elder, it might as Ruyi said, go to the dungeon to see her, and help me ask her, I can't say that she can still tell the truth here in the Great Elder. Lan Ruohua kept smiling happily, and he looked as trustworthy as ever to the Great Elder.
The Great Elder lowered his head and thought for a moment, but hesitated, "I wonder what the sect leader wants his subordinates to ask her?" ”
Or, no matter what Lan Ruyi says, she is also her Lan Ruohua's only junior sister, and she still has the name of protecting the Dharma, what is it that makes Lan Ruohua tie her up with dignity at all, and the first thing she did when she returned to the general altar was to throw her into the dungeon?
