Chapter Seventy-Seven: The New Man Looks Old

Yang Dingtian went mad, the dantian and meridians were greatly damaged, and the fluttering only temporarily helped him suppress the true qi of the chaos, but it was extremely difficult to completely recover.

When he woke up halfway, he found himself in a carriage, driven by a middle-aged man with an expressionless face, and next to several men who were also dressed in the same strong clothes to escort him, no matter what he asked, those people did not answer, and he took care of them very well along the way, and he was helpless to take himself calmly to see where they were going to take him.

It wasn't until a few months later, when he came to the Emei Realm, that he realized who had rescued him.

Several warriors sent him to the foot of Mount Emei, and then left immediately, and then his own Emei disciples took him up the mountain.

When he came to Zhulu again, Yang Dingtian was awe-inspiring in his heart, and secretly said that his ancestor and uncle were only afraid that it was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface, and the people who only escorted him over were enough to compare to an ordinary Jianghu sect.

"Disciple Yang Dingtian, meet Uncle and Ancestor" He came to the outside of the bamboo house and knelt down.

Bai Fan didn't show up, Piao Xu opened the door, stood on the steps and looked down at him and said: "You have gone mad this time, your ancestor sent me to rescue you personally, you will be here in the future while cultivating while guarding the tomb of your father-in-law, and after twenty years, you can leave." ”

"Don't ......" Yang Dingtian hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi's life-saving grace, the disciple is grateful, but the disciple, as the leader of the Ming Sect, is burdened with a heavy burden, and he can't leave behind the affairs of the sect, please forgive him." ”

Piao Su smiled and said: "Uncle Shi is also for your good, your dantian and meridians are a mess at this time, there is no more than ten or twenty years of recuperation and recuperation, and you have no skills, continue to serve as the leader of the Ming Sect, can you convince the public?" You know better than me who are the people in the Ming Sect, and without force to suppress them, I am afraid that you will die in a few days. She had a warm smile on her face, but when she spoke, she was imposing, and she couldn't refuse at all.

Yang Dingtian's heart trembled, pondered for a moment, and sighed: "Uncle Shi's order, the disciple does not dare to disobey, but please ask Uncle Shi to send a letter to the disciple to Guangmingding, explain the reason, so as to elect the successor sect leader, otherwise the Ming Sect is afraid that it will be divided by internal strife." ”

Piao Xu smiled lightly and said: "Yes, you go to the bamboo house next to you to live, where your stepfather used to live at that time, there is everything in it, you can send it after you write it." ”

"Yes", Yang Dingtian got up and walked two steps, turned around and hesitated: "The disciple has a question, how did my uncle know about my Mingjiao secret path, and when my uncle rescued my nephew, did he see my wife and ...... Another man. ”

"Hehe, what do you say?"

Piaoxi's hands hung down at his side, and his beautiful face was still smiling, but Yang Dingtian suddenly felt a cold chill rising from his heart, "Disciple has a lot of mouths, please forgive my uncle", and stood in place after speaking, not daring to move.

After a while, Piao Su said coldly: "Go, your wife has committed suicide, don't want this kind of unfaithful and unruly woman, but I haven't seen another man." "She has followed Bai Fan since she was a child, and her feelings are extremely simple, and she has to be single-minded if she only follows one person, so she naturally has great disdain for Mrs. Yang.

Yang Dingtian has deep feelings for his wife, but the deceased is gone, and he can only grieve in his heart, thinking that Cheng Kun is still safe and sound, and his anger is sharp, it took a while to calm down, turned around and walked into a bamboo house more than a dozen steps away, and wrote with a pen.

He thought about writing as he could, and it took half an hour to finish the letter, then sighed, got up and went out to deliver the letter to Piaofu.

At this time, the sky was dark, there was a fire candle lit in the bamboo house, Bai Fan was on the candlelight, looking at a book of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" bound in a line, after the god said the word "immortal", he became more and more interested in the myths and stories of ancient times, and when he was bored, he looked through some ancient books such as "Sou Shen Ji", "Huainanzi", "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", and some of his understanding.

Piao Xu walked to her side and sat down, handed him the envelope in his hand and said, "This is a letter written by my nephew to Mingjiao, what should I do?" ”

Bai Fan opened it and looked at it, and said in his heart: It's still similar to the original book, Xie Xun will temporarily take the position of the sect leader, no matter who regains the Holy Fire Order, he will be the thirty-fourth generation leader of the Ming Sect.

After he read it, he lit the letter on the candle flame and said, "If this letter is sent to the Ming Sect, won't we be busy in vain?" ”

Piao Fu supported his chin with one hand, tilted his head and looked at him and said, "Then how will we explain to him in the future?" ”

The letter paper burned to ashes in Bai Fan's hand, he blew it out lightly, and immediately turned into powder and dissipated in the air, "We didn't go down the mountain either, where did we know the changes outside, just said that maybe the messenger had an accident on the road, and when the wood was already in the boat, what else could he do?" ”

He then picked up the book on the desk and continued to read, and with his other hand, he scratched a strand of hair from his ear behind his ear and said, "Huang Ying said that he wants to retire and let someone else take Huang Ying's place, how to deal with this matter?" ”

Bai Fan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and said, "You can handle it yourself, you don't have to ask for this kind of thing as a teacher in the future." ”

Fluttering long eyelashes blinked, and continued to look at him blankly, and after a moment, got up and went out with a faint smile.

She came to the outside of the bamboo forest, took out a short bamboo tube from her sleeve cage and opened it, and immediately three consecutive shining light clusters exploded in the air, and then disappeared after a moment, and everything returned to calm.

After a while, a man dressed in a linen shirt, carrying a hat, and a firewood knife at his waist came over with a load of firewood, put the flat pole off his shoulder, and saluted: "Subordinates see the palace master." ”

Piao Fu nodded and said, "Huang Ying wants to go into hiding and be a woodcutter, you go to Mingjiao to replace him." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey orders," a deep voice came from under the hat.

Piao Xu took out a jade plate from the sleeve cage, vaguely visible with the word 'yellow' written on it, handed it to him and said: "This is a token of the joint, and it is also a token to prove your identity in the shadow of the East Palace in the future, don't lose it, the card is in the person, and the card is broken!" ”

The woodcutter took the jade plaque and said, "There is something under my subordinates, please specify it to the palace master." ”

"You say"

"Is the last Yellow Shadow to kill or stay?"

Piaofu's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "I'm talking about letting you replace him, don't you understand enough?" ”

The woodcutter said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Once you enter the East Palace, you will be a shadow for life, and no one can quit." ”

"You say that, aren't you worried that you will end up like him in the future?"

"From this moment on, unless I die, I will always be the Yellow Shadow of the East Palace."

Piao Su stared at him for a long time, and said, "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to take over Huang Ying's eyeliner in Mingjiao." ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired."

The woodcutter picked up the firewood and went down the hill step by step.

Piao Xu looked at his back as he descended the mountain, and a trace of inexplicable meaning flashed, and then another figure came from the darkness.

She didn't look back and said, "Your apprentice is not an idle person. ”

The man was thin and weak, holding a bamboo pole, and coughed: "He is still young, and he only acts with a passionate impulse, unlike us old men who have tasted all the things in the world, and after a long time, he will naturally understand." ”

Piao Su looked up at the night sky and said quietly: "I know that it has not been easy for you in this life, including Xiao Xuanli, who is already dead, so I try my best to let you have a good old age, but don't forget that you are still the shadow of the East Palace, as your apprentice said, until death." ”

"My subordinates understand that Xiao Xuanli's thing will never happen again."

Piao Fu said expressionlessly: "You go in person, let the earth shadow come back, since you want to change, let's change it together." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will leave tomorrow." He then took his leave.

Piao Xu also turned around and returned to the bamboo house, Bai Fan's eyes stared at the book, and said, "It's all done?" ”

"Well, but ......"

"But newcomers aren't as good as old people, right?" A smile appeared at the corner of Bai Fan's mouth and teased.

Piao Fu sat opposite him, his hands on his head, staring at him without a moment's notice, "Master, what did you say was the reason?" ”

Bai Fan said: "Since ancient times, the way of the emperor has been nothing more than grace and power, and there are only two points for people to obey willingly, interests and beliefs. Profit is the quickest means, but the most effective and long-lasting is faith. The original Lao Tianshan and others personally awarded martial arts to their teachers, and they grew up with you, so they naturally regarded the East Palace as their own family business, but the new generation is mostly their apprentices and chivalrous guests recruited on the rivers and lakes, and they only came to the East Palace for profit, so naturally they will not be as handy as the original Four Shadows. ”

He paused and glanced at Piaofu and said, "Do you know what to do?" ”

She showed a bright smile and said, "Didn't Master just say that both grace and power are important. ”

"The children can be taught, and they can share the burden for the teacher in the future."

Piao Xi squinted and laughed, and the two sat for a while, resting separately, and didn't say anything all night.
