"Senior sister, I trust you very much. ”

Xia Fanxing stared at her and said seriously. Immediately, he told her about a terrible possibility that he had thought of not long ago.

“...... Senior sister, some time ago, I traveled from Chang'an to Liyang. In the days that followed, he had been with a Taoist leader sent to the imperial family by the Nine Lotus Sect ten years ago. This person's uncle once had a past with our sect. It's too complicated to say now. I just want to tell you that those people who have recently arrived on the top of the Twelve Spirit Mountains are probably confusing the Sect Master. My intuition is very strong, this is a perfect opportunity, all the sects related to this matter, want to kill my sect. ”

"Almost everyone knows that An Lushan wants to rebel, but the court doesn't know. As a result, the situation is even more chaotic. Those sects have malicious intentions, who doesn't want to take this opportunity to remove us from the Eight Great Ancient Sects?"

"Wait a minute, I don't understand. Is it really necessary for their sects to support the imperial court while secretly colluding with An Lushan?" asked Hou Ying suspiciously. In her view, no matter how the dispute ends, the benefits of doing so are extremely low.

Xia Fanxing sighed and simply repeated to Hou Ying what the Golden Period Law explained to him that day. At first, he didn't think it was necessary... However, after seeing Yang Guozhong's painstaking efforts and using Tianqiao to pour dirty water on An Lushan, he felt that it was not easy to survive in the troubled times. It is even more difficult to reap the benefits. And if one is not careful, he will fall into the abyss.

"However, this time, it is likely that it will not end so easily. On the day of my tribulation, the Dao Master of the Nine Lotus Sect had mentioned to me a secret meeting of the royal family about ten years ago, where almost all the first-class sects were invited. He told me something. I don't know exactly what happened at this secret meeting. But I think other sects have had opinions about us for a long time, and that's when it started. ”

"What I'm most afraid of now is that the Sect Master relies on his experience to do things. What if this time, those disciples of the outer sect who ostensibly came to negotiate were actually trying to confuse our judgment? In such troubled times, experience is unreliable. Xia Fanxing said seriously.

Hou Ying thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "So, these people are likely to be sacrificed as hostages... When the time comes, when the Great Sect Protector Array is closed, it should be the time when other sects that have already colluded with it will attack on a large scale. And the news that the Great Sect Protector Array would be closed soon after also leaked out, so during this time, the Spirit Mountains everywhere were so calm. It seems that they are intent on giving us a fatal blow. ”

"Senior brother, aren't you going to discuss it with Uncle Xinheng?" she asked.

"Sect Master, since they have made this decision, they must also feel that it is foolproof. In my guess, even Master wouldn't care. So......" Xia Fanxing remembered what the Xinyin Daoist had said to him not long ago, the sect's decision-making would not change because of any trivial things he did outside. Naturally, if he went to the master to tell him what he thought, Xia Fanxing didn't think it would be of any use.

"I'm going to find him. I think he understands what I mean. I also want to see if he will come forward when the sect is in danger. If he, as a fourth-generation senior, could go to the sect master and discuss this matter again, there should still be a turnaround. If he does let us down again... Then I'll have to go to Master and give it a try. ”

“... Well. If you can meet the immortal master, you must also grasp the measure, and if there are some things that should not be asked, don't ask. How to go up the mountain, senior sister will help you find a way!" Hou Ying said.

"Thank you, senior sister, for understanding me..."

"Uncle Xinheng has been guarding the peak of Guanmei Peak in place of the retreating immortal master during this time. Otherwise, you go and tell your uncle that you have a problem with cultivating that set of "Water God Recipes", and you want to go up the mountain to ask the immortal master face to face. How is this?" Hou Ying was inspired and mentioned.

"Hmm... If Master can agree, it can be. However, I would like to talk to Xuan Neng alone for a while. Xia Fanxing said.

"Uncle Shi has spent a lot of time in Zhixuanfeng's own mansion these days... By the way, have you ever met the swordsmanship teacher?"

"Sue... Mr. Su: I just went to see her. ... What's wrong?" Xia Fanxing was a little strange, how could Hou Ying mention Su Qiao.

"I met her the other day. This person's swordsmanship is extremely high. Claiming to be the deceased of Uncle Xinheng. A week ago, he also came down from Guanmei Peak, which he was guarding. Do you know that Uncle Xinheng brought her close to the sect, in fact, it was all for you. ”

"It seems like this. Recently, Master and they didn't have time, and I just entered the foundation building period and got a pretty good sword weapon, so let her teach me how to use a sword... By the way, Senior Sister, don't you use a sword? Why did she just say to me......

In his impression, Hou Ying didn't have any particularly handy weapons. This is still relatively rare among the twenty-four disciples. However, due to the refining of the Seven Killing Star Qi with extremely high strength in her body, Hou Ying's refining strength was very high during the foundation building period. At the biennial meeting of the six generations of the sect, Xia Fanxing has always seen her consolidate the identity of the second rank for herself with just a pair of amateur hands.

"I don't like weapons. The reason why I expressed my interest in practicing swords in front of her was that I wanted to take the opportunity to get close to her. Actually, it's because of this person... Anyway, the first time I saw her, I thought I'd seen her before. I thought about it for days before I remembered what was going on.

When I was a child, when I was six or seven years old, I met her once. At that time, I was still so young, and there were few disciples in the sixth generation. In addition to me, at that time, there were only Wang Yunming, Senior Sister Jin and Senior Sister He, Wang Yunming was more than ten years old at that time. At that time, we often ran out of the training room at night to play. Hou Ying remembered the past, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Xia Fanxing's face was full of confusion, and he leaned closer to the other party. It's not particularly clear what Hou Ying is trying to express by saying this.

"That night, I saw her for the first time. At that time, we secretly ran out of the inner sect to play. I can't remember the exact process. Anyway, at that time, I ran to the north gate outside Guanmei Peak alone and separated from the others. To be honest, I shouldn't have been able to remember the way back to Neizong at the time. Then I saw her. More than ten years have passed, and her face has not changed at all. ”

"What happened?"

"She's carrying a man on her back, and it's supposed to be a man. Looks strong, but she carries him on her back. When I didn't pay attention, she appeared inside the North Mountain Gate. The expression on her face was sad. That's how I felt at the time. But I didn't feel scared, and when she noticed me, I smiled at her. Hou Ying remembers these things very clearly. Xia Fanxing couldn't help frowning and listened carefully.

She smiled at me too. Ask me where Uncle Xinheng might have been at that time. I told her that it was on Zhixuan Peak. I remember, and then I asked her in a bit of a panic, can I not tell Uncle Shi and Master, I ran out to play again......" Hou Ying said, and couldn't help but smile.

She smiled. Tell me not to run around at night in the future. She said that she would go to see Uncle Xinheng first, and that she would come back in about a quarter of an hour to pick me up and take me to the Inner Sect. Then he carried the man on his back and left. You know, my master would often travel outside the sect when he was not in the sect. That night, after she took me back to Master Neizong's house, which is here, Master was not at home. Children are very strange, and sometimes they are inexplicably scared. I may have seen that Master was not at home, and I cried. Sister Su took care of me to sleep.... For the next period of time, she took me to practice in Master's house. I can't remember how long it was, maybe a month, right? It was very relaxing, maybe Master was too strict with me. She often asked me to play with Senior Sister He.

During this period, Uncle Xinheng came to talk to her a few times... I remember one time, after the two of them finished talking, Sister Su cried alone for a long time at night. I saw it secretly. She... I don't know why, I cried very sadly. After a few days, she left. Senior Sister He and Senior Sister Jin are both two or three years younger than me, so among the six generations of disciples at that time, Wang Yunming may have also seen Sister Su. ”

"But... I met her two days ago, when I was talking to her. She seems to have forgotten about it. I don't even seem to have an impression of me. But she kept praising my amazing cultivation. I was only six years old at the time, and nearly twenty years have passed, and I still remember her clearly, how could she not remember me?" Hou Ying sighed and said.

"Probably... Senior sister, your changes are a bit big. Xia Fanxing hesitated for a moment and said his true thoughts.

Hou Ying glared at him with some displeasure, then nodded again, "Maybe..."

"Senior sister, do you trust her very much?" Xia Fanxing asked again.

"Yes. I can't remember things too clearly when I was a child. I didn't know how close I felt when I saw her again. However, more than ten years later, I gradually want to know what happened to her that night. And the man she was carrying, I never saw again... Perhaps, she's carrying a corpse?"

"Well... All right. So you want to know these things. Also, Su Qiao's specific relationship with the master. Is it just for curiosity?"

Hou Ying nodded, "That's true." Simply out of curiosity. And I don't think she doesn't recognize me anymore. But I wanted to be friends with her. It's the same as before. ”

"Senior brother, it's better to find a senior uncle when he is not on Guanmei Peak, and let Sister Su take you up the mountain to find the distraction and fake body of the immortal master. ”

"Do you trust her so much?" Xia Fanxing couldn't help but ask with some surprise.

"It's just going to find the Immortal Master. If you don't want to talk to Uncle Shi about this first, then let Sister Su take you there. Senior sister also goes up the mountain with you. Her cultivation should be in the Dan stage, which can protect you from the harm of the mountaintop aura transformation. Most importantly, I trust her, and I think you should trust her too. ”

Xia Fanxing thought about it carefully. It is true that if the master really lets him take himself to the top of Guanmei Peak to find the fake body of Xuan Neng, he will inevitably feel uncomfortable. But if Su Qiao is allowed to take him, there will be a lot less worries. "I'll go back to Mr. Su tomorrow. By the way, this matter. ”

"At this time tomorrow, Senior Sister will go with you to find her. Hou Ying said. Xia Fanxing just wanted to refuse, after all, he wanted Su Qiao to show him the beginner sword book of the Weaving Star Sword Technique of the Sea Dao people. But it soon felt inappropriate. Just now, I wondered why Hou Ying trusted her so much, and now I think like this, didn't I choose to trust Su Qiao, who met in Pingshui, and even more so than Hou Ying, who had experienced life and death together?

Anyway, the senior sister is already clear about her traces in the past two months. Starweaver swordsmanship is no secret anymore. Let her know what's the deal?

The two reached a consensus. They chatted for a while, and Xia Fanxing talked a lot about what he had seen and heard in Liyang and Chang'an. These things are very new to Hou Ying, who rarely comes out of the sect. Xia Fanxing also took out the jade bracelet that had been hidden for a long time. He knew that he might be the first person among the six generations of disciples to give Hou Ying such a gift. But he also knew that some other senior brothers were not without this idea, and most of them did not dare to do so. Everyone knows Hou Ying's character! Moreover, she is not particularly interested in these precious jewelry.

Xia Fanxing was very happy that Hou Ying could like it. After seeing her thank you, she accepted it and put it on the table. He was still looking forward to what his senior sister would look like after wearing the first jewelry on her snow-white jade wrist. At this time, Hou Ying, who was smiling faintly, spoke, but her tone at the moment was serious.

"Fanxing, Senior Sister needs you to answer me seriously now. Next, in the process of cultivation, do you plan to practice the Seven Killing Star Qi, or do you choose the Star Sea Method, which is relatively easy to get started? Keep in mind that the Seven Killing Sect has been passed down from the upper realm to the human world for thousands of years, without any branches, and the latter, as you know, is very compatible with several other Dao sects, and after cultivating the mastery, you can also cultivate some of the primary Heavenly Machine Techniques to spy on the operation of the Heavenly Dao, and you can also try to practice some Heavenly Techniques to practice the Yin and Yang Method. Even with the Taoist sect of the two evil sects in the world, there are similarities with the way of refining death. In your heart now, you have an answer, which Dao sect do you want to choose and continue on your path? There are two great Dao sects, but if you choose one of them, you can't convert into any other Dao sect!"

Hou Ying finished solemnly. These words are still fresh in her memory. About ten years ago, she broke through the foundation building period with great talent. At that time, her master was at a loss for words, and the Taoist asked her the same. Hou Ying did not hesitate to choose the Seven Killing Dao Sect. She told Master at the time that this was an orthodox Taoist sect that had been handed down from the founding of the sect three thousand years ago. The Seven Killings Method is something that other sects can't learn if they want to, and she made the right choice.

And after Xia Fanxing listened to her words, he immediately told her the answer. Without hesitation, it seemed that Hou Ying saw her own shadow.

"I understand. Therefore, I will dedicate the Great Dao Immortal Path from this life to the Seven Killing Holy Paths. Because it can make me stronger! For thousands of years, the Seven Killing Dao Sect has advocated merit and retribution. When the road is uneven, draw a sword to help, act chivalrous and righteous, eliminate evil and promote good. This is where the meaning of the Seven Kills and One Vein lies, and it is also where the chivalrous Dao lies in the hearts of the junior disciples!"

It can be said that what made him firmly have this idea, and what made him firm the concept of "chivalry", was the blind Qin who was blind and still cared about the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the letter he left for Xia Fanxing told about his life. The grace of the Tang Dynasty, regardless of whether this kindness is hypocritical or not, he also reciprocated, and ganged up to go to Fanyang to take refuge in the anti-An cottage. The word chivalrous has become a concept that Xia Fanxing admires very much. And the purpose of the Seven Kills Avenue is also a great display of chivalry.

"Good!" Hou Ying praised. Although the reasons for the two to choose the Seven Kills are different, they are completely understandable. The firmness of the junior brother also made her eyes shine. "I also guessed that you would choose my sect's Seven Killing Dao. Uncle Xinheng also thinks so. ”

"Not long ago, when I just came out of the secret realm, Uncle Xinheng came to me, because both of us knew the secrets, so it was normal for him to come to talk to me. There is nothing else to say, but he mentioned the choice of the two great avenue sects after you step into the foundation building. ”

"Uncle Shi is very confident that you will choose the Seven Killing Dao Sect. When he talked to me at the time, he had already assumed that you would make this choice. ”

"He told me that the time for the festival was just a dozen days away. After the ceremony, An Lushan may send troops at any time. The relationship between our sect and him is not as simple as it was at the beginning. If he moves south, we will certainly help him accordingly. At that time, the five generations of disciples will definitely be busy, and the twenty-four disciples may also be sent out to complete the task. ”

"The affairs of the sect have been very busy these days, and Senior Uncle Xinheng, as one of the Supreme Elders, has no time to take you to practice the Seven Killings. And the Seven Kills Avenue is the most difficult to get started. So, Uncle Shi asked me to do you a favor and take you to get started. ”

As she spoke, Hou Ying somehow had a thin booklet in her hand, which contained some formulas and other things written in Juanxiu's regular script font. Before Xia Fanxing could react from her words, Hou Ying put it in front of him,

"This booklet, the first two pages, is written about the introduction of the Seven Killing Star Recipes. There are nine types of star recipes, which are collectively known as nine turns and seven killing recipes. The level of the Star Recipe is completely based on the personal cultivation and the cultivation of the Star Palace that you will learn about next. In view of the large span of the boundary between Yuanying and Huali, there are generally only seven turns and seven killings and the following circulars in the sect. However, because our sect has a very long history, it has the Eight Turns and Seven Killings technique and the corresponding cultivation methods that the vast majority of the Seven Killing Sects do not have. But the Nine Turns and Seven Kills recipe was lost at the time of the ancestor master, and it is estimated that only the immortals in the upper realm have the method of nine turns and seven kills. ”

"There's such a saying. Originally, there were only seven turns in the Seven Killings, which corresponded to its name. But the reason why there were two more tricks later was because the ancient powers discovered that they could fuse all the first seven turns to form eight turns, and the first eight turns were fused again, and finally achieved the nine turns and seven kills. We're not at that level, and it's hard to understand these things. ”

"Let's get down to business. Here are some of the records I made back then, and there are some special methods of luck. Senior brother, after you take it, first take a look at the introduction of the Seven Killing Formula, and then study the first Technique, which we call the Seven Killing Recipe for the First Transformation, which is suitable for cultivation in the early stage of foundation building. There is another concept you need to know that among the major Dao sects, the Seven Killings, the Star Sea, and the Heavenly Yin belong to the Star Palace Dao Sect. You go back today, and if you have time, take a look at the specific instructions in the booklet about what this thing is. Let's go today. I'm going to watch Meifeng too. ”

Xia Fanxing took Hou Ying's previous experience when he first learned the Seven Killings Dao Method, and he didn't know what to say, and his gratitude was overflowing. In the end, he only said, "Senior sister, thank you." I'm going to study hard!"

Hou Ying's expression became as calm as before, stood up, and began to pack up the tea set. Nodding, he said, "We're all talking for almost an hour." Although Ansheng has had a lot recently, Shoushan can't be taken lightly. At this time tomorrow, you can go directly to the cultivation mansion to find Sister Su. She placed the tea set neatly on the edge of the bedside of her heart, looked back at Xia Fanxing, who also stood up to look at her, and smiled at Xia Fanxing, who also stood up to look at her, and glanced at the exquisite jewelry box on the table, "Senior brother has a heart." However, my sister doesn't really like to wear jewelry, so she may not wear it for a long time. ”

“... It's okay, how happy is my sister... Not... By the way, senior sister, I suddenly remembered, and I want to ask you one more thing......"
