Chapter 4: Extraordinary
"You're leaving tomorrow?"
After Qiao Xuebin explained his intentions, Qiao Liangyan put down the brush in his hand and asked suspiciously. The three ministers in the back had subtle expressions, and they were all looking at him.
"Fourth brother, after a big battle yesterday, there were heavy casualties, and the Stygian Kingdom may attack the Chaoshan area again at any time. I'm going to be there to help until Master Mori Dao completes the formation and then returns home. ”
Qiao Liangyan touched his chin, nodded, and just wanted to say something, Qiao Xuebin stared at his eyes, his eyes were deep, and said, "Miss Heyue is also going with me." ”
Qiao Liangyan frowned tightly and spread his hands, hoping that Qiao Xuebin could give him an explanation.
The Minister Li behind him smiled and spoke, "Master Qiao, I'm afraid this is not polite." ”
"If Miss He is also going, we have to talk to the city lord first, after all, it is very dangerous. Qiao Liangyan said calmly.
Qiao Xuebin chuckled, "Don't bother. She has been in Qiao's Mansion for so long, and it is normal for the child to want to go out for a walk. And Chaoshan is also her home, and the residents in the mountain range locked their doors during the war, but there were also casualties. She doesn't worry about her adoptive mother, who raised her from childhood to adulthood, go back and see if there is anything wrong?"
"If Miss He is hurt a little bit on this trip, Qiao will come to see the fourth brother with his head, and you have three adults!"
By the end, his tone was no longer polite. Perhaps it was after a night of fighting last night that his temper suddenly became blunt. Qiao Liangyan stared at him tightly for a while, smacked his lips, and showed an indifferent expression, "Then go with the second brother." ”
Qiao Xuebin hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for your understanding!"
The faces of the three ministers had become very ugly. After he strode away, Minister Li immediately pulled down his face and asked Qiao Liangyan why he wanted He Yue to go with him. Not only for Qiaofu, but also for them, Heyue is a very important existence. The Qiao family needs to establish a relationship with He Zhe through her, which is also of great significance to the prince's side.
It's best to let Qiao Fu be able to control her.
Qiao Liangyan picked up the pen again, his face was very heavy, "Three adults, this is my decision. After all, he is also the current head of Qiao's Mansion, please don't question it. ”
"No matter what you say, you have to get the consent of Hezhe!"
He hung his head, shook his head after a moment, "No need, please trust me. ”
There are some things, some people, that you will never touch in your life, let alone understand.

Early in the morning of the second day, the valley of the falling wind.
The deep holes in the mountain wall in the valley are as intricate as beehives. The custom inns in the nest have all been closed yesterday, and there is not a single active person in the Falling Wind Valley at this moment.
I remember the spectacle of the conference three months ago, and now there is nothing left in the empty field in the valley. The Chaoshan Mountain Range was full of soldiers, and all the troops of several city gates were placed here. Only around the Valley of the Falling Wind, it was quiet, and there was no one to be seen.
The abundant business activities in this area have all been stopped at this time. It's been a long time since it's been so deserted.
"It's here. ”
Qiao Xuebin, Zheng Ergou and He Yue rushed to Luofeng Valley early in the morning. Go through the corridor and walk into the valley. But he did not see any figure in the open field. Qiao Xuebin walked in the front, closed his eyes and sensed it, raised his head suddenly, and cast his deep gaze into a deep cave on the north-facing mountain wall.
A white light and shadow flashed through it, and the forest dao in a Taoist robe flew out of the air and slowly fell in front of them.
"Sen Dao, with the help of a few of us, I think the arrangement of the mountain protection formation can be completed within five days at most. ”
Qiao Xuebin didn't say any nonsense, and went straight to the topic the moment he saw Sen Dao. The white-bearded old man glanced at He Yue, showed a kind expression, and slowly spoke, "Miss He, thank you very much for coming. ”
Lotus Joy salutes. At this time, she was a little nervous. Somewhat awkwardly, he asked, "Shall we start now?" What does the master need me to do?"
"No hurry, no hurry. I'll tell you first. During the battle the night before, many of the inhabitants around the mountain range had retreated. But there were still some who did not leave and were attacked. And many of the surrounding houses have been destroyed. Your former adoptive mother retreated in time and was not injured. The city lord has already arranged a place for the residents of Chaoshan to live, so you don't have to worry about her. ”
He Yue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gratefully at the old man.
Mori Dao used a peculiarly shaped crutch today. The head of the staff is decorated with a jade stone in the shape of a tiger's head. After he said this, the jade suddenly emitted a dazzling white light. The old man smiled slightly and looked back. The three of them followed his gaze towards the horizon in the distance. At this moment, a blast of air piercing the air reached their ears. Directly above the heads of several people, on the extremely high sky, a graceful egret quickly flew down, the whole body was snow-white and flawless, glowing with a faint aura. She flew to Qiao Xuebin's side, stopped, and seemed to be watching a few people.
It's just that when He Yue looked into the eyes of the egret, it seemed to fall into an endless abyss, leaving only darkness. This is a blind egret.
Qiao Xuebin was immediately shocked when he saw the egret flying down from the sky, and Zheng Ergou also showed an extremely shocked expression. The egret stood quietly on the ground, he took a deep breath, and asked Sen Dao, "Sen Dao, what the hell is going on today!"
Zheng Ergou frowned and thought for a while, took He Yue's hand, and walked to the other side despite her objection.
"Wait.. Wait, there's something unexpected here..."
Sen Dao smiled and said, "We are going to take this opportunity to tell you about some recent things in the Dao territory. Let that little brother, tell my brother. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, a flash of light flashed through the egret, and white smoke appeared around her, enveloping it. After the white smoke cleared, the original egret turned into a woman with a beautiful figure and a white robe. He Yue's eyes widened, and Zheng Ergou, who was beside her, couldn't help but sigh.
Qiao Xuebin was furious, but after seeing the egret turn into a human form, he immediately bowed down, and said with a trembling voice, "Disciple to meet Uncle Shi!"
The egret Daozi from the fairyland in the middle of the Dao is full of fairy jade, but he is extremely cold. A pair of godless eyes were filled with pitch black gloom. She nodded slightly, and a cold voice sounded, "Get up." ”
Qiao Xuebin got up slowly, lowered his voice, and continued to ask Sen Dao excitedly, "Then what do you mean, do you want He Yue to know all this?"
Sen Dao's expression also became serious, and Bai Lu Daozi answered for him first, "Yes." You would never have imagined the recent situation in the Dao Realm. After your master fell unconscious, various forces in the Dao territory were ready to move. Before the Dream Palace could make any moves against us, the sect of our own family had already begun to intrigue. The power of the Qinglong lineage is no longer as stable as it was at the beginning. And the Sen Diving Stream must have begun to covet the Dao Realm. Hundreds of years of stability have been shattered, and I now feel that maybe you and that kid are right. ”
"If this development continues, it will only cause both sides to lose and blood. If the two great forces die together, the secular world will also usher in a long night of eternal sight! Many people do not understand this truth, but this seat has now felt it. ”
"The family surnamed Sen where the old man belongs is a bridge between the Dream Palace and the Dao Realm. And Heyue's child is my brother's optimistic successor who may become a disciple of the mantle, and the connection between us is not shallow. She should know all this, and know the weight of her responsibilities now. ”
"Today, no one knows about the Dao realm. I had already violated the rules of the Dao Gate, but neither the Dao Realm nor the Dream Palace should go on like this anymore!"
He Yue blinked helplessly, turned his head in shock and asked Zheng Ergou, "Zheng Ming, what are they talking about?"
Zheng Ergou slowly comforted her, and he was completely shocked in his heart. It seems that Sen Dao hinted that Qiao Xuebin brought them over, not to help set up the formation... Rather, this scene in front of me.
"I'll go over for a moment, it's okay, don't worry. ”
Seeing that the three of them turned to Zheng Ergou and He Yue, he whispered to He Yue, and then slowly walked over.
Bailu Daozi showed a look of disgust on his face, Zheng Ergou returned to his usual hippie smile, and forced a calm quip, "Yo, this fairy, I was really embarrassed when we met last time, and I almost let you stay in my dream forever." Haha..."
Bailu Daozi's face turned cold, and he quickly stretched out his hand and stuck Zheng Ergou's neck. Zheng Ergou first felt an extreme cold coming from his neck, and then felt the pain of suffocation. Sen Dao hurriedly persuaded her to put down her hand.
He Yue watched this fierce-looking beauty shoot so quickly, and her heart was even more puzzled. It suddenly occurred to me that I had seen an egret that was quite similar to it in a dream, but much larger. She couldn't help frowning, what was going on today? What kind of fairy land in the Dao, what was it? Where did Qiao Xuebin's cultivation come from? This woman should be the uncle he had mentioned, what was their origin? What did they want to know?
"Zheng Daoyou, I don't know what Xuebin discussed with you, have you mentioned it to Sen Qian?" asked Sen Dao in a calm tone.
Zheng Ergou smiled helplessly, "I've mentioned it many times, you all know him." Once you have a feud with him, you basically can't solve it. But..."
Bailu Daozi interrupted coldly, "We have already taken many steps back. These eyes are thanks to your Dream Palace, so what do you think is hatred? If you really want to fight to the death with my Dao Realm, your Dream Palace is not enough!"
"Eh, didn't you say that you have to discuss it well? Mori Dao kept smiling and persuaded. Qiao Xuebin on the side sighed, "Zheng Ming's side let it go first, Sen Qian, this person has a high status in the Dream Palace, and it is not so easy to convince." Uncle Shi, why don't you first tell me how chaotic the Daozhong Immortal Realm has been recently. ”
She turned her grim face towards Zheng Ergou again. He said helplessly, "I'll go and watch the eldest lady, let's talk first!"
At this time, a gust of yin wind suddenly swept through the entire Falling Wind Valley.
This gust of wind was generated out of thin air in the valley, and it was menacing. Everyone can only create an aura barrier to maintain balance. He Yue on the side was in a hurry, and quickly used the skills he learned to build a barrier to prevent himself from being blown down by the wind. In the large number of caves on the four walls of the valley, rubble flies down. There was a shrill rustle of trees around them, and the leaves flew into the air and fell in all directions.
The white egret Daozi, who has the late cultivation of Yudan, turned pale. She knew that this strange phenomenon had happened without her notice at all, and the cultivator who came was definitely above her.
As soon as the yin wind passed, He Yue was surprised to see two figures appear behind the three of them. Their faces gradually became clear, it was... Shizun Sen Qian and the registered disciple who recently exposed the conspiracy of the nobles of the Underworld Kingdom, Sima Yin!
"Sen Qian......" Sen Dao did not turn his head, but let out a light sigh.
The expressions on the faces of Zheng Ergou and Qiao Xuebin were already shocked. They didn't expect, really didn't expect at all, that the person they saw in front of them would be Sen Qian.
Egret Daozi subconsciously took a step back, and his whole body was surrounded by murderous aura, but after Sen Qian clapped his hands lightly, all the spiritual energy around his body dissipated and was wiped out.
"Don't be nervous. Since you can still see the old man now, it means that I have no murderous intent towards you. The old man and Zhuge Daoyou, or Egret Daozi, came here for the same purpose this time, to talk about the things discussed between the two children. It's good for both of us. ”
Sima Yin, who was dressed in a black robe, stood behind Sen Qian. Zheng Ergou saw that his face no longer had the timidity and shyness he had when he met him not long ago. It seems that after completing the mission of Mori Diving with them, he was taken to the Dream Palace by the old man himself. The expression on Sima Yin's face at this time was calm and calm, much more stable than before.
He Yue on the side felt that his brain was completely confused. Except in her dreams, she had never seen her master. This was the first time she had seen the mysterious Sen Qian's true face! She didn't expect this trip to be so extraordinary! It made He Yue feel faintly uneasy, excited, and curious, what were they discussing? What is the mystery of the so-called fairyland in the Dao? How much did Zheng Ergou and Qiao Xuebin hide from her about the Dream Palace?
Bailu Daozi took a deep breath, endured various emotions, and nodded, "Then don't talk nonsense." ”
"Hmm... Apprentice, go and tell your junior sister the story of the Dream Palace and the Dao Realm. Take her time, she may not be able to accept so many ..... at once"
