Chapter 25: Something Isn't Quite Right
"Yun Yilan?"
Zhou Zhou Xian held a son in his hand and muttered these three words in his mouth.
After a while, Zhou Zhou Xian dropped the son in his hand, then shook his head and said, "When I took Xiaohuan to the Incense Valley back then, it was Shangguan Ce who received me, but as for Yun Yilan, I didn't see it. ”
"According to Shangguan Ce, Yun Yilan has been in retreat for many years."
"I overheard some disciples of the Burning Incense Valley chewing on their tongues, saying that the valley master Yun Yilan may have been seriously injured and would not heal for many years."
"However, I think it's also fake news, Yun Yilan is a scheming person, I heard it many years ago."
"This time, the Incense Valley and Tianyin Temple came to Qingyun together, and I heard that Yun Yilan and the old monk Puhong came together."
"Let Yun Yilan, a character who has lived in seclusion for many years and never show his head, appear, it seems that this beast tide is really difficult to resist."
"Even the Incense Valley, a big faction that has been in southern Xinjiang for many years, is difficult to resist."
Lu Fengqiu smiled faintly, he had also learned a lot about this Incense Valley over the years.
The founding patriarch of the Incense Valley is named Yun Xiaotian, who is not a person from Middle Earth, but the leader of a clan in Southern Xinjiang, who combined a book of heaven with the spells of Southern Xinjiang to create the Incense Jade Book and founded the Incense Valley.
Over the years, although the Incense Valley has rarely moved around in Middle-earth, it is naturally a little rich to be ranked among the three major sects of the righteous path together with Qingyunmen.
Zhou Zhou Xian saw Lu Fengqiu smiling and silent, and he couldn't figure out what Lu Fengqiu was thinking.
At this time, Zhou Xiaohuan, who was cultivating outside the Phantom Moon Ancient Cave Stone Room, ran in and said to Lu Fengqiu, "Grandpa, Brother Xiao has arrived. ”
Lu Fengqiu nodded and said, "Just let him in." ”
Zhou Xiaohuan walked out, and after a while, Xiao Yi walked in from outside the stone room.
Xiao Yicai bowed to Lu Fengqiu and Zhou Yixian.
"Yicai has seen the ancestor, the uncle and the ancestor."
Lu Fengqiu looked at the chessboard, pinched the chess pieces in his hand, and said, "Aren't you receiving guests?" ”
Xiao Yicai showed a wry smile on his face and said, "Ancestor, there was a little accident, Uncle Tian asked me to invite you to the old man." ”
Lu Fengqiu said: "What's the matter? ”
Xiao Yicai said: "Ancestor, Sect Master Yun coldly proposed marriage to Senior Uncle Shuiyue in the hall, and wanted Senior Uncle Shuiyue to marry Senior Sister Lu to Sect Master Yun's personal disciple Li Xun. ”
"Uncle Shuiyue's temperament, you also know it, and you just shook your face and said you don't agree."
"The Yun Sect Master was refuted, so he accosted the Pukong Divine Monk, saying that our Qingyun Sect has the support of the Patriarch, so we will not look at the World Righteous Path Alliance in our eyes."
"I shouted that I wanted to see you, Master Zu, and let you come out to be the abbot fairly, and I also said that if it is inconvenient for you, Master Zu, it is okay for my master to go out to meet you."
"Before, Senior Brother Lin and Senior Brother Zhang went to Tianyin Temple to make a big fuss, I'm afraid they also made Tianyin Temple unhappy."
"Right now, there are a lot of righteous people in the palace, Uncle Tian feels that we are at a loss, and it is not easy to fight on the basis of reason, after all, people come up and put the hat of the leader of the righteous path in the world on the head of our Qingyunmen, if it is unfair, it will inevitably make the righteous people in the world say that I am a big Qingyun, and I don't take my colleagues in my eyes."
"Uncle Tian was afraid that there would be something more out of these two families, so I asked me to hurry up and invite you to go out and press the field."
When Lu Fengqiu heard this, he didn't hesitate to lose another son, and then said to Zhou Xian: "This Yun Yilan is a drunkard, not in wine, and he wants to see me today." ”
Zhou Zhou Xian smiled: "It seems that it is indeed burning eyebrows, without you speaking in person, they are still a little uneasy in their hearts." ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "Okay, don't they want to see Dao Xuan?" “
"Then let Dao Xuan go out to meet them."
"Yicai, you go and invite your master and let him go to the Yuqing Hall to entertain guests."
When Xiao Yicai heard this, he bowed down and said, "Understood, Yicai retired." ”
After that, Xiao Yat left.
Zhou Zhou Xian looked at Lu Fengqiu and said, "Patriarch asked Dao Xuan to meet them?" ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled: "What? What's wrong? ”
Zhou Xian said: "Ten years ago, Dao Xuan was no longer the head of Qingyunmen, and now let him go out to entertain guests......
Lu Fengqiu said: "Don't worry, Dao Xuan knows the severity, I'm afraid he doesn't want to guard the ancestral hall for the rest of his life." ”
"People are not sages, who can do nothing, and there are some things that should be made clear."
"If Dao Xuan still has any careful thoughts, and he can't pass today's level, then he really has to guard the ancestral hall of the ancestor for the rest of his life."
When Zhou Xian heard this, he said, "The ancestor is clever. ”
……
Qingyun Mountain, Tongtian Peak, Yuqing Palace.
At this time, the hall was already crowded with people, densely packed with figures, except for the disciples of Qingyunmen, they were other righteous people.
Among them, Qingyunmen, Tianyin Temple, and Incense Valley are the most conspicuous.
The top seat is empty.
Sitting in the row on the left are several heads and elders of the Qingyun Sect.
Tian Buyi sat in the middle, his face was a little embarrassed, he looked at Yun Yilan, the valley master of the Incense Valley who was sitting in red, sitting next to Yun Yilan was Yun Yilan's junior disciple Shangguan Ce, and behind him stood a group of elders and disciples of the Incense Valley, there were probably dozens of people.
Then, he looked at the first water moon of Xiaozhu Peak, which was sitting in a row with him.
I only heard that Yun Yilan said: "Qingyun Sect is the number one sect today, and the Qingyun Patriarch cultivates as a god, but I can't imagine that he is still alive." “
"Do the math, Qingyunzi's predecessors are afraid that they have a lifespan of more than two thousand years now, since ancient times, all mortals have died, and today, there are many people in the world who cultivate the true Tao, like a carp crossing the river, countless, but there is only one person as powerful as Qingyunzi's predecessors."
"I don't know when Patriarch Qingyun will come out to see me, let me wait and pay homage to the patriarch."
"In the world of Fang Jin, the righteous path is prosperous, the evil demons retreat, and they rely on the prestige of the Qingyun Patriarch to deter the evil demons in the world."
"It's just that if the catastrophe comes today, if Patriarch Qingyun has been avoiding us, I'm afraid it will inevitably be criticized, if there is some who don't distinguish between right and wrong, I think it's because I'm afraid that we will drag down his old man."
"Today, the reason why I and the Righteous Path Alliance came to Qingyun Mountain in the Incense Valley must all be because of their admiration for the reputation of Qingyun Patriarch and his old man."
"If it is inconvenient for Patriarch Qingyun and his old man to come forward, it is okay to let Senior Brother Daoxuan come out and see him."
"Senior Brother Tian is not the head of Qingyun, so there are some things that he will definitely not be able to do."
"Senior Brother Daoxuan and I have known each other for a long time, and there are some things, it should be more convenient for Senior Brother Daoxuan to come forward and communicate with us."
Tian Buyi heard this, and said: "Sect Master Yun is polite, the name of the first faction in the world, I Qingyunmen can't afford it, Tianyin Temple and Incense Valley are both righteous humerus, the world's righteous path giants, everyone in the world admires it, Sect Master Yun and Puhong Divine Monk can come, it really makes Qingyunmen shine. ”
"Senior Brother Daoxuan has long been unconcerned about secular affairs, and has been guarding the mountain in the ancestral hall of the ancestor in the back mountain for many years, and he has not seen outsiders."
"As for my patriarch, he has been in retreat recently, and he told me not to disturb him, so I'm really sorry."
"You must also know that a few days ago, I was full of golden light on Qingyun Mountain, and I didn't hide it from you, it was all because my ancestor was penetrating a magical power, so I had this vision."
"The patriarch ordered, everyone gathered in Qingyun Mountain today, let me entertain you, don't be rude."
"Please stay quiet."
"As for Sect Master Yun's proposal for his own apprentices, the current enemy should focus on the overall situation, and these matters of children's affection should be postponed."
"Sect Master Yun, what do you think?"
Tian Buyi's face was not very good-looking, and he looked towards Yun Yilan.
When Yun Yilan heard this, she said lightly: "What Senior Brother Tian said is not unreasonable, it is true that the enemy is currently a big enemy, and the overall situation should be the priority. ”
"However, a few days ago, I heard that Patriarch Qingyun personally went to the Western Swamp and took away the strange treasures in the Western Swamp, dare to ask Senior Brother Tian, is there such a thing?"
"I wonder what that strange treasure looks like? What kind of treasure is it? ”
Tian Buyi frowned and said: "Sect Master Yun, my ancestor has always been incomprehensible to us disciples, how can I be clear as a disciple. ”
"If Sect Master Yun has any questions, it is better to wait for my family ancestor to leave the customs and ask my family ancestor in person."
When Yun Yilan heard this, she didn't say anything more.
On the contrary, it was the Pukong monk of Tianyin Temple on the side who said: "Senior Brother Tian, a few days ago, the disciples of your faction, Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan, took the bones of my senior brother Puzhi without authorization, and crushed my senior brother Puzhi to ashes. ”
Sitting next to Monk Pukong was Monk Puhong.
Monk Puhong sat there motionless.
Fa Xiang, who was standing behind the two, showed a strange color on his face.
Tian Buyi heard this, and only said: "Why this happened, the Pukong Divine Monk should know it. ”
"Back then, in this Yuqing Palace, my ancestor had already said it clearly, so I don't think I need to recount it again."
When Monk Pukong heard that Tian Buyi had moved out of Qingyunzi, his face couldn't help but show annoyance, and he wanted to fight for reason.
At this time, I only heard Monk Puhong say: "Senior brother, don't be reckless, I have already made it clear to you about the cause and effect of this matter, we are not here today to argue about this." ”
When the monk Pukong heard this, he snorted coldly and said no more.
The atmosphere in the main hall became a little awkward for a while.
At this moment, two figures walked in at the entrance of the temple.
When they saw the person who was the leader, for a while, several leaders of Qingyunmen were a little stunned.
That person was dressed in a dark green Dao robe, and he was a Dao Xuan Zhenren who had already been removed from the position of head of Qingyun Sect for many years.
In the past ten years, Dao Xuan has been guarding the ancestral hall of the patriarch and has not seen outsiders.
Not to mention the ordinary disciples of Qingyun Sect, even the elders of the various veins have never seen Dao Xuan.
Tian Buyi looked at the person who came, and couldn't help but wonder: "How can it be Senior Brother Daoxuan?" ”
Su Ru, who was sitting next to Tian Buyi, said, "It should be the ancestor who asked Senior Brother Daoxuan to come out to entertain guests." ”
Tian Buyi looked at the immortal Dao Xuan with an inexplicable expression, and said softly: "It's been ten years, it's been ten years, and Senior Brother Dao Xuan seems to have changed a little bit. ”
Su Ru also looked towards Dao Xuan, bowed slightly, and said, "Yes." ”
Although Dao Xuan's appearance has not changed, Dao Xuan ten years ago did not look as peaceful as it is today.
I saw that at the door of the main hall, Dao Xuan and Xiao Yicai walked in one after the other.
As soon as Dao Xuan entered the hall, Yun Yilan and the others stood up.
"Senior Brother Daoxuan, I haven't seen you for many years, but I miss my little brother?"
Yun Yilan laughed.
Dao Xuan Zhenren stepped forward and smiled, "Master Yunshi, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”
Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at Yun Yilan, and then said: "I didn't expect that after many years, Your Excellency's Dao Law has made great progress, and you have comprehended the Yuyang realm from the Incense Burning Jade Book, opening the Incense Valley for eight hundred years, which is gratifying." ”
When Yun Yilan heard this, her face turned pale, and then she laughed loudly: "Senior Brother Daoxuan is really good eyesight, admire, admire!" ”
Dao Xuan smiled and said, "Where, where, it should be me who admires you." ”
Yun Yilan said with a smile: "I heard that Senior Brother Dao Xuan was no longer the head of Qingyun ten years ago, and now he has nothing to do and is dedicated to cultivating the true Dao, I really envy my junior brother." ”
Hearing this, Dao Xuan's expression remained unchanged, and he couldn't see half of the change, and said to Yun Yilan: "Cultivation should be like this, if Lord Yun Shi is envious, he can also entrust the errand of this valley master to the juniors, and he will also be idle." ”
Yun Yilan smiled and said, "I, I'm not as open-minded as Senior Brother Daoxuan, it's my life to worry about." ”
Dao Xuan no longer said much to Yun Yilan, but said to the Puhong monk on the side: "Puhong Divine Monk, you are polite." ”
Monk Puhong looked at Dao Xuan, then bowed slightly, and then said, "Senior Brother Dao Xuan is polite. “
Dao Xuan stepped forward and did not sit down towards the main seat, but stood in the center of the hall and said to everyone: "You are gathered in my Qingyun Gate today, presumably there must be something important to discuss, but right now, my patriarch is in retreat, and all major matters still have to be decided by my patriarch." ”
"You will rest on the mountain for the next few days, and after my ancestor comes out, it will not be too late to discuss with you."
After that, Dao Xuan said to Xiao Yicai on the side: "Yicai, send your fellow Daoists to rest, you must make proper arrangements." ”
Then, Dao Xuan turned around and said to Monk Puhong and Yun Yilan: "Two, I'm slacking, I'm bothering you to wait for a few days, wait for my ancestor to go out, and then discuss big things with everyone, I'm just an idler now, so I'll go." ”
As he spoke, Dao Xuan walked away directly.
Dao Xuan came and went, and he didn't have much effort.
Yun Yilan in the main hall was a little dumbfounded, he looked at Dao Xuan's back, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes, in his impression, Dao Xuan was not such a lonely person.
Many people in the main hall looked at each other.
……
The night was dark.
In a small courtyard guest house on the top of Tongtian Peak.
Inside a brightly lit room.
Yun Yilan, the valley lord of the Incense Valley dressed in red, sat at the table, gently tapping the table with one hand, and sitting opposite him was Shangguan Ce.
Yun Yilan's face was solemn and said, "It seems that Qingyunzi's control over Qingyunmen is far beyond our imagination. ”
Shangguan Ce was puzzled: "Senior brother, isn't it just to unite Qingyunmen to resist the tide of beasts and demons when we come to Qingyunmen this time?" ”
"Does Qingyunzi's control over Qingyunmen have anything to do with this matter?"
Yun Yilan said: "Of course it matters, Qingyunzi was suddenly born ten years ago. ”
"Don't you think it's weird?"
Shangguan Ce frowned and said, "What's wrong?" Could it be that Senior Brother Fei thinks that the identity of this Qingyun Ancestor is fake? ”
Yun Yilan shook her head and said, "Before I saw Dao Xuan today, I was pregnant with this distraction, but after seeing Dao Xuan today, I knew that this Qingyunzi's identity could not be fake." ”
"Dao Xuan is such a scheming person, if he can be recognized by him, there must be no doubt that this Qingyunzi is really the patriarch of the Qingyun Sect."
"If this Qingyunzi is really the ancestor of Qingyunmen, he is already more than two thousand years old now."
"Looking at those of us who cultivate the true Dao, those who cultivate the Tao with high cultivation can only live for a few hundred years, and the Aoba Zhenren who was powerful in the world back then only lived for more than seven hundred years."
"It's just that for more than two thousand years, Qingyun Gate has not been smooth sailing, and it has also experienced the disaster of annihilation, why does this Qingyun Ancestor hide."
"It wasn't until ten years ago that it didn't come into existence?"
Shangguan Ce said: "Such a powerful character naturally has his reason to escape from the world, and we don't know that nature is also the reason it should be." ”
Yun Yilan bowed slightly: "What Senior Brother said is extremely true, but what I'm worried about is not this, what I'm worried about is that this Qingyun Ancestor has been hidden in the world for thousands of years, and there must be very few things in this world that he doesn't know." ”
"Perhaps, this Qingyun Ancestor also knows about my Incense Burning Valley."
"I'm afraid he might know some of the secrets of our Incense Valley."
"If that's the case, it's a big deal."
When Shangguan Ce heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Senior brother, are you a little too worried, even if that Qingyun Ancestor cultivates as a god, it is impossible to know the affairs of the world." ”
Yun Yilan glared at Shangguan Ce and said, "A hundred years of planning is all empty. ”
"My heart is very uneasy, and after seeing Dao Xuan today, I feel that something is not right."
"Who is Dao Xuan, I still know very well, this person sells his reputation, even if he is not the head, it is impossible to ignore the people in the world, even if it is for the reputation of Qingyunmen, he can't stand by."
"Qingyunmen is the number one faction in the world, there is no reason to ignore such a major event, Qingyunzi avoids us and waits, Dao Xuan is that kind of attitude, I think there must be a mystery in it."
"Now, we have no choice but to reach an agreement with that beast demon, if this matter is revealed, my Burning Incense Valley will have no place to stand in the righteous path."
"My thousand-year-old inheritance of Incense Valley can't be destroyed in your hands, do you understand?"
When Shangguan Ce heard this, he frowned and said, "Senior brother, things have come to this point, so what do you say?" “
Yun Yilan said: "I still have to see this Qingyun Patriarch earlier, otherwise I will always be panicked in my heart, and I always feel that there is a stone in my heart that has not landed." ”
Shangguan Ce said: "Dao Xuan said today, Qingyunzi is in retreat, and people don't go out, what good can we do." ”
Yun Yilan pressed one hand on the table, pondered for a moment, and then beckoned to Shangguan Ce: "Senior brother, you come here with your ears." ”
When Shangguan Ce heard this, he leaned towards Yun Yilan.
The lights are flickering, the moonlight is charming, and the whispers are so stupid.
……
Qingyun Mountain, Big Bamboo Peak.
The mountain breeze blew through the verdant bamboo forest, bringing up gusts of bamboo waves, echoing in the hollow valley forest.
The night is charming, and the lights in the meditation hall are bright.
Tian Buyi and Su Ru were sitting in the hall, Tian Buyi was thinking about the day's events, and there was still some unhappiness on his fat face.
Seeing this, Su Ru opened her mouth to comfort: "It's almost over, it's endless." ”
Tian Buyi slapped the table and said, "You say, what kind of medicine is sold in this cloud thief's gourd?" ”
Su Ru glared at him and said, "Yun Yilan has always been very scheming, guess what he thinks, you just need to know that there is an ancestor, everything is not a problem." ”
Tian Buyi heard this, nodded slowly, and said, "What Ru'er said is very true, but I think a little too much." ”
Su Ru said: "Didn't you see that Xiao Yicai invited Senior Brother Daoxuan today?" ”
"Without the approval of the patriarch, how dare Senior Brother Daoxuan leave the ancestral hall?"
"If the patriarch doesn't see these people, he naturally has the ancestor's intentions."
"Again, with the ancestor here, everything is not a problem."
Tian Buyi heard this, nodded, and said, "Yes, yes, what Ru'er said is right." ”
Su Ru glanced at Tian Buyi angrily.
At this moment, Tian Ling'er broke in from outside and said, "Dad, mother, the little junior brother is back!" ”
Tian Buyi heard this, and immediately got up and said, "The seventh is back?" ”
"This kid went down the mountain on the order of the patriarch, Lin Jingyu has returned to the mountain, he hasn't come back yet, hurry up and call him in, I want to ask where this kid has been going these days."
When Tian Ling'er heard this, her face was a little unpleasant, and she said, "Dad, junior brother, he ...... He...... Something didn't seem right, and he was covered in blood. ”
Not only was Tian Buyi anxious, but even Su Ru's face changed.
The two hurriedly followed Tian Ling'er out.
