Chapter 17: Leaving and Returning to the Sect

After the martial arts meeting ended, after only staying in the Ming Tower for more than a day, Xia Fanxing had to leave to return to the sect.

Fortunately, this time he traveled, and he didn't leave anything uneasy. Therefore, you can also go back with peace of mind and prepare for the rare Ancient Sword Cave Heaven.

In the past two days, a news spread all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an City - the ceremony of Tu Fengzong and Fan Yang to worship the heavens was held just three days ago.

Xia Fanxing had no way of knowing how the master had come up with a way to quickly remedy the destruction of the three Spirit Mountain Formations. I don't know if the other six alliance sects participated in the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony. Mengzong's attitude towards Fan Yang, Xia Fanxing still didn't know anything. He didn't take this matter too seriously. After all, the matter of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony had nothing to do with a junior like him after the Battle of Annihilation.

And the Assassin riot occurred at noon on the seventh day of the martial arts. The elder who had come to Fu Lin and the Black Turban Sect roared loudly, and the crowd was crowded and panicked. Who would have thought that this assassin dared to assassinate in broad daylight, in front of everyone, in front of countless guards, and there was really only one person!

Moreover, the targets of his assassination were actually two rangers with extraordinary martial arts skills in the ring!

The man appeared out of nowhere, masked, carrying two large knives, and rushed into the ring before the guards could gather into the ring. However, he did still have two brushes. After breaking into power, the officials fled to the rear. The martial arts masters below rushed towards the stage one after another. He knew that he didn't have much time, so he directly flew to the door of Yin Fenghe's face with a big knife at extreme speed. The two rangers subconsciously protected Li Wan beside them, but Yin Fenghe couldn't dodge, and he was actually cut off one of his left ears.

At the same time, only Jin Qifa and Bai Heming beside him, as well as several generals were still on the field. Jin Qifa took a sharp step forward and began to chase the assassin. As soon as the Assassin began to flee, he threw another large knife at the Yin Wood Badger. This knife was directly stepped forward by Bai Heming and flew to the ground with the imperial jade sword. The knife was fierce and powerful, and she immediately frowned slightly, and tightly grasped her left hand, which was bleeding from the tiger's mouth. They were all clearly seen by the eyes of a few of their monks on the side of the bridge.

In an instant, more than a dozen martial arts masters surrounded him from all directions, and together with the generals who remained on the field, they immediately forced the assassin to a dead end. A large number of men and horses from the Black Turban Sect, Dali Temple, and the Praetorian Guard have gathered to the front. Half of the number went to the rear of the Golden Throne to protect the emperor and the concubine. Even with so many men on stage, it would definitely be enough to arrest ten such assassins.

At this moment, the assassin suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and slashed more than a dozen slashes in his face at an extremely fast speed! Jin Qifa reacted the fastest, and wanted to stop it, but it was too late. After disfiguring himself, he cut his throat again. Taking advantage of the last bit of strength, he also flew the dagger towards the Yin Wood Badger, and was naturally slapped away by Jin Qifa.

The crowd also stopped crowding in a panic.

Li Longji returned to the golden throne with the support of Yang Guifei, and after confirming that he could not recognize the assassin's face, he was really angry, furious, and furious, "Dali Temple, Praetorian Guard!

"What kind of waste are they raised! One can't stop it, two can't stop it, and the third one can't stop it!" Li Longji scolded several officials in charge of public security in front of him. Under Yang Guifei's gentle whispering comfort, he finally sat down, coughed twice, and ordered Gao Lishi, who was already white-faced, to "Continue the martial arts!"

And Xia Fanxing, who was on the other side of the bridge at that time, really felt that it was not a big deal to watch the excitement, and after standing for so long in the morning, his legs did not feel sore at all. Ji Yanliu saw the man's self-destructive appearance, but he was a little frightened. While hugging her fragrant shoulder, he watched the old emperor go crazy with pleasure.

The surrounding crowd gradually calmed down. However, a question appeared in everyone's hearts - where did this decisive and ruthless assassin come from, and why did he assassinate these two rangers who were not very famous?

The embarrassed officials returned to their seats. Yin Fenghe was injured, but he only covered his ears with clothes to stop the bleeding, and followed Yin Wood Badger and Li Wan to the stage. They didn't return to their seats for a long time.

The masters returned to the stage and began to compete in the ring. After watching for a while, Ji Yanliu suggested that everyone go to eat something, go shopping, and come back in the afternoon. However, in the time they had left to watch, there was no more turmoil until the end of the martial arts meeting. This year's Tang Dynasty Martial Arts Conference ended peacefully in the starlight at nightfall.

Blind Qin left them in advance, saying that he had to leave to return to Fanyang as soon as possible. Xia Fanxing realized that he was also a wanted criminal now. It's hard to do anything to stay, I can only say that I will meet again in the future.

After the martial arts meeting, they returned to the Datang Ming Tower. After resting for a night, Ji Yanliu returned the true breath he had "squeezed" from Xia Fanxing's body to him with a concentric ring. After doing that again, they went to bed early.

The following day was very leisurely. Although the martial arts meeting is over, the old emperor plans to take advantage of the fact that such a big ring has not been demolished, and invite the Liyuan opera troupe in the palace to perform there for a whole day. When he woke up early in the morning, Li Xijun came to their house as usual. Since the martial arts meeting has passed, it is estimated that the officials of Dali Temple are still being summoned to the court to criticize it. So Xia Fanxing can travel without any scruples. She took the two of them to continue to listen to the play by the canal, see what they had never seen before, and join in the fun.

Go back to that bridge. The troupe hasn't arrived here yet. Compared to yesterday, the number of people is much smaller, and the scene is quieter. Xia Fanxing was waiting, and couldn't help but think of so many things that happened yesterday. A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

At the end of the martial arts meeting, the rankings of the master sections of each sect were also evaluated. Although Lei Yiming was a little sluggish after the two rangers left. But it was clear that the other Martial Masters had listened to Yang Yuhuan's story, plus the assassin who had committed suicide. All kinds of things happened, and their state was not much better.

In the end, Lei Yiming ranked first with a total of 34 times in five days. His Majesty the Emperor was full of praise for him, and at the end of the evening, he personally gave him a large number of secret treasures, all of which were placed in a large gold chest, and did not let everyone see what kind of treasures his gifts were. The second place is the master Wei Mo, who came from behind without branches. He was extremely heroic on the final day, and his record was extremely impressive, even defeating Lei Yiming twice.

The crown prince Li Heng on the table seemed to come prepared, as if he was carrying a treasure chest. After the emperor rewarded Wei Mo, the crown prince ordered someone to carry a box of various elixirs from which sect he didn't know, and made a humble gesture and personally sent it to Wei Mo.

The third place, the ancient merry master from the Taolin Boxing Sect, the fourth place, Sun Qi, the head of the Liangdao Martial Sect, and the fifth place, the smaller martial sect master below, Fan Longyang of the Bailin Sect...... This year is different from the past, because the competition is divided into three groups, so you are ranked relatively high. The master section has been divided into the top ten, and they have all been rewarded by the royal family, and most of them are special secret treasure pills in some sect realms, and they are very generous. Some of the other officials on the field, naturally, many of them are like Yang Guozhong, hoping to attract some martial arts to join their forces. Many people do not spare their treasures and treasures, but Master Wu Zong is not a child, he does not accept everything, and everyone knows him. Only characters like Yang Guozhong and Li Heng can attract the attention of masters.

And Li Wan, listening to what the blind man Qin said, seems to have successfully pulled the nine rangers into his mansion. Through their help, Li Wan hopes to expose the Heavenly Shortage Sect that has long spread throughout the country as soon as possible, and expose Yang Guozhong's huge conspiracy in Liyang.

Xia Fanxing's thoughts returned to the wonderful performances of the female disciples of Liyuan in the ring. Neither he nor Ji Yanliu had ever been exposed to such a way of acting, and they both felt very novel. Because this pear orchard was originally supported and cultivated by Li Longji. Prior to this, large-scale singing was not popular at all in the entire Central Plains. Especially when I saw the special outfit of the female disciple of Liyuan, the makeup on her face, and the lyrics in her mouth. It's all them, no, many of the ordinary people present are also very rarely seen.

If it weren't for the whim of the old emperor, the people in Chang'an City would rarely see it. What's more, although there are many stages in the city, most of those who have talent in this area are called into the palace and enter the palace Liyuan Workshop to perform for the royal family in the future. Therefore, the quality of today's drama troupe has reached its peak.

And Yang Yuhuan just fell in love with a female disciple of Liyuan, and she was almost ruined and faceless...... Thinking of Qin's blind words, when Xia Fanxing looked at the stage, he also had a different feeling in his heart.

In the afternoon, wandering around the city with nothing to do. At noon at dinner in Dongshi, Xia Fanxing told them that he would leave tomorrow. Li Xijun heard this, but he didn't know what was going on, so he quickly found an excuse and went back to the Tang Ming Building, so that he could spend the afternoon with Ji Yanliu.

Time is running out to spend together, and we will soon be separated again. They didn't go anywhere this afternoon, Xia Fanxing took her hand and walked around the streets and alleys of the city. He thinks about a lot of things, everything that is happening these days. Through the induction of the concentric ring, he could feel that she was in the same mood as him now.

It's only been a few days, but it feels like it's been a long time. And the most important and beautiful of these is a time like the afternoon. Every day and every night together is a wonderful memory.

In the evening, they returned to the vicinity of the East Market. Ji Yanliu suddenly felt Li Xijun's transmission. She told them to hurry back to the Ming Building. The two of them will return to the sect tomorrow, and Zheng's mother arranged a room on the sixth floor of the Ming Building and prepared a table of wine and food.

On the sixth floor of the Ming Building, there are often banquets between playboys held here, and this day is no exception. It was dinner time, and as soon as I entered the sixth floor, I saw two huge tables, full of well-dressed men and girls with flowers. The surrounding sides are full of private rooms. Mama Zheng took them to a quiet box in the corner, and after closing the door, all the noise outside calmed down.

After entering this room, Xia Fanxing saw Gong Yutao sitting across the dining table with the Yaoqin in front of him at first glance. After seeing him, Gong Yutao's face turned red, and with the support of Zheng's mother, she stood up and introduced herself to Ji Yanliu.

Only then did Xia Fanxing know that Li Xijun had already looked for Gong Yutao in the past few days. Hearing that Xia Fanxing would leave Chang'an tomorrow, Gong Yutao asked Li Xijun to bring her over, and she wanted to play another tune for Xia Fanxing.

Li Xijun pulled Zheng's mother out, and seemed to be discussing some affairs of the Yin Demon Sect. Inside the house, although Gong Yutao had never seen Ji Yanliu, she was a little nervous at first. But Ji Yanliu's sweet smile can soothe anyone's heart. After knowing that this beautiful and shy girl was the sister that Xia Lang said, she smiled and encouraged Gong Yutao. "Since your name is Brother Xia Lang, then let's also call each other sisters! Sister Yutao, don't treat me as an outsider. Relax a little and play the ...... slowly"

The sound of the piano rises, and the sound of the piano stops. Li Xijun and Zheng's mother also entered the house at the same time. Xia Fanxing sincerely applauded Gong Yutao, who was sweaty. She's great, nothing went wrong just now. After Li Xijun heard the news, he also smiled at Gong Yutao, "Very good, let's practice with my aunt in the future." ”

"Don't thank you Aunt Li, silly girl...... Tao'er, you are weak now, there are some elixirs of the sect in this bowl of chicken soup, specially for you to drink......" Mother Zheng helped Gong Yutao put away Yaoqin, helped her to her seat, and said with concern.

"Xia Xiaogongzi, Yanliu, these two cups are my special flower wine in Ming Building. Give it a try. Li Xijun poured a glass of fragrant wine into each of their cups. The two of them picked it up, and when they just wanted to drink it, Mama Zheng's words made Ji Yanliuqiao's face blush slightly, "Elder Li is really amazing... These two kids are such a good match... Why don't you have a drink?"

"This ......"

"Liu'er, come on. There's nothing to be shy about this. "Okay, okay. Come over here!"

"It's all in one bite......"

———

Next, five days later. After setting off, Xia Fanxing slightly bypassed some of the boundaries of the Purple Sun Sect and hurried towards his hometown. This time, he chose the right path, and he was not imprisoned again, and it only took five days, just before he arrived at the mountain gate of Tu Feng Sect that night.

When I returned to the Inner Sect, I found that the lights were shining in the First Cultivation Mansion. The disciples of the Alliance Sect seemed to be gathered inside, and there was something important to discuss.

He silently returned to his house. As soon as I entered the bedroom, I found my junior brother Zhou Zhu sitting on the edge of the bed meditating. As soon as he saw Xia Fanxing coming back, he immediately stood up and hugged him sincerely. Xia Fanxing was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile, "I just went outside to practice for a while... You're making it like I can't come back......"

They chatted a little, and Zhou Zhu told him about the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens. The thing that replaces the three array eyes such as Wolong Mountain is said to be the treasure of the three sects that have been passed down since ancient times. Moreover, other alliance sects other than the Tu Feng Sect did not participate.

And when Zhou Zhu asked Xia Fanxing where and which cave he was cultivating in, he had no choice but to talk nonsense. "Senior brother, why don't I feel that your cultivation has made a particularly significant improvement during this time?"

Xia Fanxing smiled, "You don't understand this." If a really powerful person has made progress in cultivation, how can others see it? If he is wise and foolish, wait, if I can enter the Ancient Sword Cave Heaven, I will definitely bring the Divine Sword to you when I come back!"

Zhou Zhuhan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and suddenly remembered something, "That's right, senior brother." Uncle Xinheng said, if you suddenly come back in the past two days, go to Zhixuanfeng to find him first, and I have something very important to tell you. As he spoke, his eyes rolled in a very mysterious way.

"I came back suddenly... Zhou Zhu, it looks like you know something. Tell me about it first. Xia Fanxing approached, but Zhou Zhu shook his head vigorously, "Go find Uncle Shi......"

Xia Fanxing had no choice but to go out. The gate of the Inner Sect was unguarded, and he quickly walked towards Zhixuan Peak. When he came to Xinheng's mansion, only a lone lamp was lit in his bedroom. Su Qiao's body had already recovered, and he was not in his room at the moment. After Xinheng saw him, he asked about the recent situation very affectionately. Xia Fanxing did not have the slightest reservation, and told what happened at the martial arts meeting with great interest. There are also Li Wan, Qin Blind, etc... Finally, he also mentioned his mother Xia Xueliu and Gong Yutao.

"I'm glad that you were able to accept things about her so quickly. Now that you've been exposed to something about her, I hope you can find her soon. Because... So far, there is no news of your mother as a teacher. Everything is up to you. ”

Then, what Xin Heng said made Xia Fanxing feel extremely shocked. At the same time, there is joy and excitement that cannot be concealed.

The last place for Tu Feng Sect to take the sword path has already fallen on his head!

That's right, during the time he was out of Chang'an. He didn't do anything, and he even neglected to cultivate. I didn't get along with the disciples of the Alliance Sect. The god of luck favored his fate like this, and gave this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to Xia Fanxing!

And the reason for this is because the two rival brothers have their own horses.

Sixth Senior Brother Ouyang Ren is a person with a serious complexion on weekdays. This time, he was defeated by his own sexuality. Since the last time he followed Lu Tingyue, a female disciple of the Yin Demon Sect, he couldn't wave this girl away in his mind no matter what. And Elder Zheng Xin was already suspicious of him and Qin Liang. A week ago, he tracked Lu Tingyue again in a secret area of Guanmei Peak. Zheng Xin knew his identity this time. She came to discuss with Xinheng, but Xinheng could only helplessly say that at most, she could only educate Ouyang Ren.

Education, of course, is useless. Two days later, Lu Tingyue was followed by him again, and even this guy directly accosted someone else's girl, which naturally scared them away. Zheng Xin was furious, she didn't worry about such a disciple entering the cave with the girls of her own family. On the third day, let Lu Tingyue bring a special Yin Sha Sect medicinal powder, mix it with the tea leaves, personally ask her to find Ouyang Ren, and give him the tea leaves.

Ouyang Ren was naturally excited, almost crazy. However, after he made tea with that medicinal powder, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He began to slump and began to do uncontrollable handwork in his bedroom, and his whole face became like a vegetable. Soon, Xin Heng and other elders found out about his slump, and repeated dissuasion was ineffective, regardless of his master's objections, and brushed him down three days ago. Two days later, Zheng Xin personally came to Xinheng to tell the truth and apologized.

Xinheng was very helpless, but he didn't blame her too much. This Ouyang Ren really needs to suffer a little. And when asked how to remove the effect of the drug, the answer he got was even more embarrassing. Zheng Xin said that Ouyang Ren could only find a young girl and completely vent her desires in one go.

"It's a troublesome matter, and it's best not to let this kid's master know. For the time being, I haven't come up with a good way to be a teacher... Your Senior Brother Qin, he's more miserable, and he's still not convinced!"

Qin Liang, who is in the seventh seat, has felt that this guy's temper is absolutely hot since Xia Fanxing met him. He is the same as the blind man Qin with the same surname, and he is quite chivalrous. He often fights against injustices. Among the six generations of disciples in the sect, he fought the most, and he was scolded by his master.

Since the last time, several male disciples had conflicts with the disciples of the East Palace. Just two days ago, Qin Liang once again had a fierce conflict with the other party's monk Cao Yin. In fact, it is a small thing. At that time, there were only the two of them at the foot of Guanmei Peak, and Cao Yin's words were a little more intense, and Qin Liang couldn't control his impulse directly and fought hard.

Cao Yin didn't react at all, and his cultivation was worse than Qin Liang's. When Qin Liang realized that he was too impulsive, Cao Yin's left arm had already been broken by him. Soon, quite a few people rushed over. Although the monk's self-healing ability is relatively strong, an injury like Cao Yin's can fully recover within a month if he takes care of his injuries.

But the East Palace Elder was aggressive in this matter. He couldn't tolerate the disciples of the Alliance Sect working with such a hot-tempered and impulsive person. If someone had a dispute with Qin Liang within the Cave Heaven, wouldn't they want to ally and kill each other? In this way, what would they do to fight with the Nine Lotus Sect?

In this matter, Tu Fengzong is naturally the one who loses. In the end, Xin Zhaodao could only be pressured, and after Qin Liang apologized to the other party, he was deprived of all qualifications to go to the cave. Qin Liang was very dissatisfied with such a decision, and locked himself in the bedroom for the past two days, not taking a step.

Xia Fanxing couldn't laugh or cry at what happened to the two senior brothers. At this time, the serious voice of the person who weighed the Daoist sounded in his ears, "Disciple, no matter what, this extremely rare opportunity will fall on your head." The Ancient Sword Cave Heaven is almost a great opportunity that the sect world must compete for for thousands of years. It can be said that it is a place where Taoism must fight. There are really very few opportunities for such training in the entire sect world. Just a few days ago, the Xuan Miao Immortal Master had already sent back the news that before the middle of next month, the Ancient Sword Cave Heaven would definitely be opened!"

"It's only been more than twenty days, and you've been out for so long before. Well, adjust yourself. Although your cultivation is not high among the Daoists, this is the common goal of the entire alliance, and everyone should do their best! Do you not know how much trouble the enemy alliance has provoked in the past ten days...... So, this new Excalibur, we must take it!"
