The two of them ran in front of them until they said, "I just seem to have seen Uncle Yinghong follow the head and the lady of the head into the hairpin hall, when did Uncle Ying let you talk?" ”

Zhong Minyan smiled and said: "But it's a matter of the morning, just because I have other things to do, so I didn't have time to find the lady in charge." ”

The two said, "If this is the case, then there is no need to go in." Since Mrs. Boss and Uncle Yinghong are both in the hairpin hall, they must have said something. You two go back, the lottery is going to be drawn soon, and the heads and elders of the various sects are inside, so you can't disturb them. ”

Zhong Minyan was full of words, but he couldn't think of any excuse, so he had to turn around and leave. Who knew that Linglong said coldly: "I really don't know what to do." If Aunt Hong has anything to say to my mother in person, do you need us to spread the word? I don't understand this point, I have to say it! ”

When the two of them saw that it was exquisite, they couldn't help but be short of breath. After thinking about it, maybe there was some unhappiness between Uncle Yinghong and the lady of the head, so he asked Linglong, the daughter of the head, to pass the word, which was not for nothing. Between women, there are always some troublesome things, so they like to go around and not say it clearly, and powerful people like Mrs. Boss and Uncle Yinghong can't get out of the ordinary.

Thinking of this, they had no choice but to get out of the way again, hesitating to let them go.

Passing through the jasper platform, bypassing the front door hall and walking to the backyard, Zhong Minyan burst out laughing, gently knocked on Linglong's little head, and said, "You are really nonsense!" Uncle Ying Hong carries a suspicious black cauldron for you for no reason. ”

Linglong pouted and puffed out angrily: "Who let them hold chicken feathers as arrows!" What if it's a lottery? It's not an unsightly thing, like a thief. What can we do? ”

As he spoke, the hairpin hall was close in front of him. Although it is named Hall, it is actually a high-rise building. There is a bend of clear water in front of the building, a bamboo forest, and slender and elegant white cranes are foraging and resting in front of the water. Probably because the jasper platform is very tightly guarded, there is no one in front of the hairpin hall.

Zhong Minyan saw that Linglong was about to break inside, so he hurriedly grabbed it and said, "I can't disturb you." Let's lie under the window and keep our ears to eavesdrop. ”

Saying that, the two of them walked lightly to a window in the west room, the window was hidden, and the elegant tea fragrance and agarwood incense spread out from the cracks, which smelled very good.

But I heard someone talking inside, it was the head of Shaoyang Peak, Lu Lei.

“…… The lottery is still in accordance with the rules of previous years, right? Please write your name on the bamboo strip and draw it from Uchiko. The first five people were in charge of picking the flower. ”

Defloration? Linglong didn't react for a while. Zhong Minyan said silently with his mouth: Demon. She immediately realized that it was a lottery to catch the demon who was the main event.

As soon as Zhen Lei's words fell, he heard a somewhat hoarse voice and smiled: "Master Chu is so stingy, this hairpin flower conference is not only held in your Shaoyang, but the lottery has to be drawn by your lady, it is really the right time and place." ”

Zhen Lei was lukewarmly said a few words by this person, but he was silent, and only smiled: "Song Dao is serious, the lottery is arranged here, and Neizi is not among the lottery candidates, so let her draw it." If you think it's inappropriate, you might as well nominate another lotter, and there will be no objection to it. ”

But the man said, "We are all guests, and guests are as they please, where can there be any objections!" Come on! Hurry up and draw lots! Finish this hairpin flower conference early and go home to sleep! After speaking, he paused, and then said: "This Shaoyang faction is not counted. The first few flower pickers didn't have their share, so let's just do it this time! ”

When Zhen Lei heard what he meant, he actually accused them of favoritism and fraud, and he couldn't help but be angry. But he has excellent cultivation, and his face actually didn't move, and he was about to block back the words lightly, but he heard a deep and deep voice in the corner say: "Why should Daoist Song be anxious, anyway, if you sign here, you are afraid that they will not be able to leave by themselves if they don't have long eyes." Your Xuanyuan sect is old and has strong disciples, so if you don't take picking flowers in your eyes, it's better to give us the opportunity to give us the opportunity to Floating Jade Island, right? ”

Song Daochang smiled gloomily, but stopped talking. Zhen Lei also smiled and stopped talking. He Danping sent the bamboo strips to each person's case, and said with a smile: "Please write your names on the bamboo strips, and then put them in this big bamboo basket." The top five who were selected will have to trouble you to pick the flowers. She laughed to herself, as if she hadn't heard Song Daochang's previous complaints.

Linglong couldn't hear clearly, and wanted to raise her head a little higher, Zhong Minyan quickly pulled her down lightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't move, there are all masters inside, be careful of being discovered." Now I'm going to test you, what are the five major factions in the world? ”

It turned out that he was afraid that Linglong would be too curious and that someone would find out that they were peeking, so he specially found something to distract her. She really got hit, shook her head and said triumphantly, "You don't even know this? Let me tell you. The five major factions are the Central Plains Shaoyang Peak, the Nanshan Xuanyuan faction, the Beiyang Floating Jade Island, the West Wilderness Dianjing Valley, and the East China Sea Lize Palace. Each of the five major factions has a long history and many disciples, and people all over the world flock to it. It's just that the Xuanyuan sect has been showing signs of decline recently, and the disciples are not as good as they are every year. But after all, they are talking about the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Dao, and their strength is profound, and they are still not to be underestimated. Lize Palace is a new school that has only emerged in the past fifty years, and now the momentum is getting stronger and stronger, and it seems that it wants to catch up with and surpass our Shaoyang Peak. But I think the people in that palace are weirdly tight, and I can't figure out whether it's a man or a woman...... We're all too familiar with Floating Jade Island and Dianjing Valley, but I don't need to tell you, right? ”

Zhong Minyan smiled, pretended to nod again and again, and suddenly said lightly: "Don't say anything else, do you remember when we went to Fuyu Island two years ago to play?" I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful sea of flowers on a small island. But as soon as the lady of the island came out, all the flowers lost their color......"

Linglong squinted at him, "Okay, it turns out that you senior brothers pay attention to these things on weekdays!" Another day, I'll tell my dad to go, saying that you are absent-minded, and the beauty is currently ignoring the exercises! ”

Zhong Minyan knew that she was joking, and it would be difficult to play with her, so he could only laugh and say: "Still say that I, who was the person who was stunned at the beginning?" ”

Linglong sighed: "Really." I've never seen anyone more good-looking than her......" After speaking, he was unconvinced, and pouted: "Except for my mother, of course!" ”

Zhong Minyan deliberately wanted to tease her, so he made a gesture to lie on the windowsill and look in, and said: "Then I'll see if the island owner's wife is here this time, and then see her enough!" ”

Linglong chuckled, hurriedly pushed him, and said, "Be careful that the old men in Eye Valley drag you out to fight!" ”

Before she could finish speaking, she heard a "huh" from inside. The two of them were so frightened that they hurriedly shrank under the windowsill, waiting with bated breath, and did not dare to move.

He Danping said at this time: "Please put the bamboo strips into this bamboo basket." ”

So everyone threw the bamboo strips with their names written into the bamboo basket, and when they came to Song Daochang, he didn't move, but only put the bamboo strips in his hand to play with them, bending them into various shapes.

He Danping smiled and asked, "Hasn't Daochang Song written yet?" ”

Song Daochang shook his head and said in a strange voice: "I want to come to the Xuanyuan Sect as a guest, so I shouldn't say anything." However, since Shaoyangfeng is the organizer of this hairpin flower conference, he should not hide his secrets. You Shaoyang Sect obviously there are two people who didn't write their names on this bamboo strip, but they assigned us to vote first, what does it mean? ”

He Danping's face changed slightly, and she said, "I don't know what Song Daochang means?" I am in the seven halls of the Shaoyang faction, and all seven of them are here, and I don't know who the two people in the mouth of Song Daochang are? ”

Song Daochang sneered: "It turns out that he is not a disciple of Shaoyang Peak!" That must be the voyeur rats! I'd like to see who is so bold! ”

His wide robe swung slightly, and dozens of cold light sword qi shot out of his sleeves, mixed with a terrible roar, and smashed straight towards the windowsill where Linglong and they were hiding. This hand is called the Hidden Ten Thousand Swords, and it is one of the proud skills of the Xuanyuan Sect. Everyone present didn't expect him to say that he would do it, and when he made a move, he still had such a sharp move, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

Seeing that the wall was about to be shattered by the sword qi, it was too late to say that it was too fast, and a gray figure rushed over like lightning, and actually rushed ahead of the sword qi! Hearing a bang, the wall of the flower hall was smashed by the sword qi, and the smoke and dust rolled up, and everyone exclaimed, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful.

Song Daochang's face turned blue, and he sneered after a while: "It is worthy of being the head of Chu, good body, good ability!" He glared at the god-like man in the smoke, unharmed, with a face as normal as if he were strolling through the garden. He was carrying two blue-faced children in his hands, it was Linglong and Zhong Minyan.

When He Danping saw that her beloved daughter was unharmed, she was so excited that she forgot to blame, hurriedly went over and stroked her head and neck, and asked repeatedly, "Are you okay?" Are you hurt? ”

Linglong was frightened, her lips trembled and she couldn't say a word, He Danping was so distressed that she hurriedly hugged her to the side to comfort her. Zhong Minyan on the side was not so lucky, when he saw Yu Lei looking at him expressionlessly, he couldn't help but kneel down with weak legs, and only whispered in his mouth: "Master......"

Yu Lei frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Get up first, go to the side!" More on that later. ”

Zhong Minyan's heart sank, knowing that after the lottery, the master would inevitably investigate the matter strictly. Linglong didn't care, at most scolded her, I was afraid that like Xuanji, I would have to go to Mingxia Cave for a while.

As soon as he thought of Xuanji, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't brought her food at noon, and seeing that it was almost the end of noon, the little girl must have been so hungry that she was alone in that dark and silent place, still hungry...... He couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have agreed to Linglong's nonsense in the first place.

He silently retreated to the corner of the flower hall, and saw He Danping blaming Linglong in a whisper. She still had a frightened look on her face, but it was not as pale as before, and she seemed to be a little unconvinced by her mother's reproach, pouting and baring her teeth for a while.

But it was said that Zhen Lei silently saved the two of them under the power of the Ten Thousand Swords, and this hand naturally amazed the hearts of everyone present, and he deserved to be the head of the Shaoyang faction in the Central Plains, and his name was well deserved! He didn't show it on his face at all, but put the basket full of bamboo strips on the mahogany table, and said with a smile: "The little apprentice is stubborn, let everyone laugh." Now that the bamboo strips have been written, let's start drawing lots. ”

Everyone knows that he has a cold face, and he has always been a serious and serious person, and the lighter his face, the more annoyed he is afraid of in his heart. This time, his disciple peeped into the lottery, which can be said to make Shaoyang send an ugly person. Even if everyone wanted to make fun of the atmosphere, they didn't know what to say, and when they saw He Danping coming over to draw lots, they all shut up.

Who knew that He Danping was just about to put his hand into the bamboo basket, but he heard Song Daochang sneer: "Okay, good!" This blue sky and white day are in full swing, and Shaoyang Peak has actually begun to play tricks! If you let two disciples come to peep at the lottery for no reason, it is not strict discipline! It is not in accordance with the rules to come and cover up and not let them smoke a share! I don't think this hairpin conference needs to be held! ”

Zhen Lei couldn't help but be furious, this person provoked three or four times, and made disrespectful remarks, if it weren't for the fact that he was one of the four elders of the Xuanyuan faction, he would have turned his face a long time ago. Although the head of the previous generation and the head of the Xuanyuan faction, Zhushi Daoren, orally promised that the two factions would be one from now on, and they would be in the same breath, but the discord of hundreds of years could not be eliminated in a few decades!

He immediately said, "I don't know what Daoist Song has to say?" ”

Song Daochang touched his sparse goatee, with a slight smile on his fair face, and said, "Don't dare to give advice." But the rules of the hairpin flower conference have always been set like this, but everyone present has the right to draw lots. If you can't go there, it's okay to have someone else sign on your behalf. I want to ask Master Chu, those two Shaoyang Sect disciples just now, do you plan to treat them as wooden people and deprive them of the right to draw lots? ”

Zhen Lei forcibly suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Those two apprentices are still young, one is fourteen, and the other is only eleven. Even the flying of the imperial object is not proficient, how can he be qualified to draw lots! Even if they win, the task of picking flowers will be in vain for them! ”

Song Daochang shook his head and said, "No, no, no!" We also understand the heart of Chu Zhangmen's calf protection. That girl is your beloved daughter, right? I have heard that the two daughters of the head of Chu have extraordinary skills at a young age, and the Shaoyang faction cherishes them a lot, presumably because they are better than the blue. The little baby has to be honed to become a talent, how do you protect it for no reason? But where did you put the rules of the lottery on hold? ”

Zhen Lei has always endured and endured, and this will be said by him with a few sour words, where can he still bear it, and said sharply: "Song Daochang means that I am covering up and protecting?!" I'll ...... today" Before he finished speaking, he was pulled by He Danping and pressed back. She said softly, "Big brother, don't get angry. Don't let the world's heroes laugh at our Shaoyang Peak! ”

The green tendons on Lu Lei's forehead bloomed, he took a deep breath, and was about to speak, but he heard a childish voice next to him: "I write!" I'm going to participate in the lottery! ”

Everyone turned their heads to look, but it was exquisite. Her little face was a little pale, but her eyes were full of excitement, and she regarded picking flowers as a stimulating task. Seeing that her father and mother didn't react, she couldn't help but hurriedly say, "I'm going to draw lots!" Father! Mother! Isn't that the rule? Up for grabs! Why can't I participate? ”

"Nonsense!" Zhen Lei only felt that he had a splitting headache, and he really wanted to leave the two imps who were in trouble behind Shaoyang Peak and leave them to fend for themselves. He Danping sighed: "Linglong, the task of picking flowers is not a game, the great demon of thousands of years, even your father is extremely difficult to deal with, let alone you?" Don't be willful, go down the mountain! ”

Linglong's temper comes up, but he doesn't care about it, where does he know the worries of his parents. She ran to the bamboo basket and said urgently: "No! I want to participate! Mother, I'm also eligible to participate! Didn't you give me all the money a few days ago? Are you all coaxing me? I don't want my dad to protect and take care of me for the rest of my life! ”

Song Daochang clapped his hands and smiled: "Well said! Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog girl! Miss Chu is really admirable! ”

He Danping saw this momentum, if Linglong and them were not allowed to draw lots, I was afraid that this hairpin flower conference would not be successful. She really didn't want her daughter and her lover to be in danger, so she had to look at her husband for help. Zhen Lei groaned, seeing Linglong's excited expression, his little face turned red, completely leaving the danger behind, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and suddenly had a plan.

He turned his head and summoned Zhong Minyan and said, "Since you are also participating in the lottery, write your names." You write it, Min Yan. With that, he slapped him twice on the shoulder.

Zhong Minyan carefully figured out what he meant, and felt that it was vaguely that meaning, but he couldn't understand it and wasn't sure, so he had to hesitate to rub it over, pick up the pen, and look up at Zhen Lei again. He nodded slightly, Zhong Minyan finally understood, and couldn't help but have deeper doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he had to bury his head and write two names and put them into the bamboo basket.

Now Song Daochang has nothing to say, Linglong is even more elated, he inexplicably bumped into such a big opportunity, maybe he can follow everyone down the mountain to see the legendary demon.

He Danping put her hand into the bamboo basket uneasily, and didn't dare to touch the layer of bamboo strips placed on it, for fear of accidentally drawing Linglong, so she easily pulled one out of it and opened it to see: "Dongfang Qingqi, the owner of Floating Jade Island." ”

In the corner stood a big man, with long hair hanging down his shoulders, thick eyebrows and a sword nose, a tall figure, and a heroic appearance. He laughed, straightened his sleeves, stepped forward, and said loudly: "Let's take the lead!" Everyone, I promise! The voice was low and deep, but it was the one who had just robbed the White Song Daoist.

Everyone returned the salute, and Daoist Song smiled and said, "Congratulations to Brother Dongfang, you have pulled out your head." ”

Dongfang Qingqi replied with a smile: "Yes, the blessing of Daoist Song." I just hope that there will be a few more floating jade islands in the future! We took care of the defloration tasks. ”

While speaking, the second stick had already been drawn, and He Danping read: "Chu Yinghong, the master of the Yuyang Hall of the Shaoyang Sect." ”

As soon as the words fell, a slender figure walked to the middle of the hall and waved on all sides, and said crisply: "Accept!" Arrogating! The crowd's congratulations were louder. Chu Yinghong was a famous beauty when she was young, but now she is nearly forty years old but her charm is still there, her snowy skin and beautiful appearance, and her years of experience have made her have a kind of neatness and ability in her gestures, and she is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows go.

She walked all the way to the row of five Taishi chairs in the middle of the hall, and smiled at Dongfang Qingqi who was sitting on the first chair: "This time I have to rely on Dongfang Hero's guidance." ”

Dongfang Qingqi hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Chu Woman is too good!" I am ashamed of it. This time, the elimination of demons requires everyone's concerted efforts. ”

The two of them were greeting each other here, and He Danping over there had already pulled out the third bamboo strip, turned it over and looked at it, but his face changed greatly, and after a while, he muttered: "Disciple of the Shaoyang Sect...... Zhong Minyan. After speaking, she looked at Zhen Lei as if asking for help, not knowing what to do.

Everyone was in an uproar, but they didn't expect that they really won the junior disciple. In an instant, dozens of eyes were fixed on Zhong Minyan. Fortunately, although his face was pale, he still maintained his bearing, and when he heard his name, he walked to the row of chairs without hesitation, and lowered his eyes and said, "Disciple, please forgive me!" When everyone saw him so unflustered, they sighed in their hearts, this son will become a great talent in the future.

Zhen Lei thought that the chance of drawing them was slim, who knew that fate made people, the more you don't want it to happen, the faster it often happens. Fortunately, this little apprentice who usually has a hippie smile is calm and steady at this time, and he has grown a lot of face, he can't help but feel sorry for his talents, and was about to go over to encourage him, but he Danping read the fourth bamboo strip again: "The head of the Shaoyang faction, Yu Lei." ”

As soon as he heard that he had himself, he put half of his heart in his heart and walked towards the row of Taishi chairs. Chu Yinghong was touching Zhong Minyan's head and talking to him Wen Yan, and when she saw Yu Lei coming, she smiled and said, "Master, I can rest assured that you are here." Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect this child. ”

Zhong Minyan hurriedly knelt in front of Zhen Lei, not daring to speak. Zhen Lei said lightly: "Get up." You don't have to be afraid, you don't have to do anything, just follow me. This time it can be regarded as an eye-opener for you, but after you come back, you will be punished for being confined in Mingxia Cave for a month. ”

Zhong Minyan was moved in his heart, said yes with tears, and after standing up, he was pulled by Chu Yinghong to talk to Dongfang Qingqi with a smile.

Everyone here said words of encouragement, and some even joked, saying that this time the flower picking task was all contracted by Shaoyang. That Song Daochang's face was ugly, so he simply shut up and didn't say a word.

He Danping relieved herself a little, knowing that her husband was gone, she would definitely be able to protect Zhong Minyan with all her might, he had always been a cold-faced and hot-hearted person. This last bamboo strip, but I don't know who will be drawn. She gently and skillfully scooped up a bamboo strip from the bamboo basket with two fingers, turned it over, and her face suddenly turned pale.

She stared at the bamboo strip in disbelief, as if she wanted to see through it with her eyes.

Everyone finally found out that something was wrong with her, and Chu Yinghong asked lightly, "Sister Ping?" What's wrong? She also had a bad premonition in her heart, shouldn't she be so unlucky, even Linglong was drawn, right?

After a long time, He Danping raised her head, her eyes were full of tears, and her slender shoulders were trembling slightly, as if she was about to faint without support. She turned over the bamboo strip and read intermittently: "Less...... Disciple of the Shaoyang Sect...... Bag...... Xuanji. ”

The crowd was in an uproar.
