Under a weeping willow on the side of the small building, Chu Xuan sat quietly for a long time, slowly straightened up, and felt that his spiritual power was already abundant, and his spirit had recovered a lot. was about to deduce the set of "Sponge Divine Palm", but he heard the voice of senior sister Zhu Yan near the lakeshore.

"Brother Xuan, are you there?" asked Zhu Yan softly, and the person had gradually come closer.

"Why does Senior Sister have time to come to me?" Chu Xuan hurriedly said, "You wait a minute, I'll go pick up a chair for you." After that, he immediately turned back to the small building, found two rattan chairs and came out, handed one to the other party, and sat down by himself.

Zhu Yan was already familiar with him, and he was not polite, put the chair on the ground, sat down side by side with him, and whispered: "Brother Xuan, last night's banquet embarrassed you like that, Senior Sister apologized to you." You know, I'm not that kind of person on a regular basis, it's just that I ...... at the time."

"Senior sister came here specifically for this purpose?" Chu Xuan smiled and said, "Haha, we were already acting before, how could I mind?"

Zhu Yan glanced at him gratefully, suddenly sneered, and said, "You have such a good temper, I don't know which woman will be blessed in the future and can continue to be with you." ”

When Chu Xuan heard this, his expression darkened, and he said, "I haven't thought about this for the time being, I have more important things to do." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yan couldn't help but wonder.

Chu Xuan shook his head and did not speak.

Zhu Yan had no choice but to change the topic, so as not to embarrass herself, "Brother Xuan, Hui Feng is kind and smooth, the weather is clear, why don't you accompany your senior sister to play a game?"

"Good. Chu Xuan nodded in agreement.

So the two of them took out a small table and a pair of chess sets from the building, and played chess in the shade of the weeping willows.

The last time he learned from Li Yi, Chu Xuan asked the other party for chess skills, so his chess strength rose very quickly, and he was playing against Zhu Yan this time, and he was not like before, he only had the ability to parry, and he had no power to fight back.

"That's right, Brother Xuan is much more powerful than last time, could it be that the real person of the Zhizong Sect has instructed you? Many of Senior Sister's routines have been seen through by you. ”

A game of chess was played for half an hour, ending with Chu Xuan losing three sons. However, in Zhu Yan's opinion, this is already quite rare, and the entire Dao Sect, who can play with her to this extent, can be regarded as having some attainments in chess.

The two were about to restart the game when they heard a man's voice behind them.

"Ouch, I also said where did my little sister go early in the morning? I thought there was some misunderstanding between you and Brother Lin Xian, but I didn't expect to come here alone, tsk, it seems that my brother is worrying blindly. It was Zhu Yan's third brother Zhu Shu who spoke.

"Please be seated, Master. Chu Xuan saw that it was Zhu Shu coming, so he hurriedly stood up and gave up his chair to the other party.

Zhu Shu smiled and said to him: "No, no, no, I'll just stand and say a few words." Actually, Daddy asked me to come to you, and by the way, I also looked for my little sister. The real person of the ruling sect has an order, and asked all the disciples who participated in the big competition this time to go to the first hall of the Dao, saying that they have important things to explain. ”

The first hall of Dao in Zhu Shu's mouth is the largest, most magnificent and most magnificent hall in the entire Dao Yi Sect, the hall enshrines the gods of the Dao Sect and the ancestors of the Dao Yi Sect, unless there is a major celebration, or an urgent notice, otherwise, this hall is usually closed and never open to the public.

After listening to Zhu Shu's words, Chu Xuan and Zhu Yan naturally didn't delay any longer, and immediately hurriedly collected the chess equipment and came to His Royal Highness Daoyi with the other party.

It was the first time for Chu Xuan to enter the main hall, and he had only had the opportunity to look at the outline outside the hall before. To tell the truth, the decoration and layout in this palace really made him sincerely have a sense of grace and atmosphere, compared with it, the "Tianqin Palace" of the former Nanjianmen was simply a broken thatched house, and he was in the imperial city of the Zhou Kingdom, and no palace dared to compare it.

Under the main hall, the thirty sect disciples who participated in the big competition last time had arrived one after another at this time, but even so, the entire hall was still so empty that it made people's hearts uncomfortable.

In the center of the hall, Li Yi, the real person of the ruling sect, the hall master of the fourth hall, and seven or eight elders who don't know where they usually retire, headed by the ruling sect, are neatly arranged on both sides, all dressed in formal clothes, with solemn expressions, thinking that something bad has happened.

I only heard Li Yi say to everyone in a serious tone: "Disciples, the reason why the old man summoned you here today is because a strange thing happened on Chongsheng Island. According to many people's reports, in the southwest of the island recently, there was a headless monster in a black cloak, and the monster was highly cultivated and elusive, looting many shops on the island, robbing spirit stones and elixirs, and also maiming and injuring many monks. ”

Chu Xuan's heart trembled suddenly, the black cloak, the headless monster? Could it be the guy on the black boat! Why, it turns out that it has never left, and it still stays on Chongsheng Island to make trouble?

Zheng was secretly shocked, but he heard Li Yi say again: "For ten thousand years, the treasure land of Chongsheng has always been peaceful, harmonious and prosperous, but now that such a big event has happened, our Dao Yi Sect and the opposite Dao Martial Sect naturally can't sit idly by. Due to the petition of hundreds of thousands of people on the island, the old man had already discussed with the Daowu Sect yesterday and decided to send thirty disciples of each sect to the southwest area to catch the headless monster who was on the wrong side. ”

After Li Yi's words were finished, the disciples of His Majesty finally understood that the sect was planning to send its own people to capture the monster.

In fact, the headless monster, everyone has heard a lot of rumors recently, I thought that the residents of the island were ignorant and spread falsehoods, but I didn't expect it to be true.

"Quiet, quiet!" Seeing that everyone was talking endlessly, Zhu Tingzhi next to His Majesty couldn't help but say loudly, "If any of you don't want to go, you can go to the main hall later to make it clear." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was silent, and the empty hall returned to its previous silence.

"Very good, since all the disciples have no opinions, this matter is settled. Today, everyone will go back and prepare first, and in the early morning of tomorrow, please come to Your Excellency Daozang on time, meet with the disciples of the Dao Martial Sect, and then go to the southwest area together to catch the headless monster together, win glory for the sect, and eliminate harm for the saint!" Seeing that everyone was staring at him intently, Li Yi nodded with satisfaction and said slowly.

"Win glory for the sect!"

"Eliminate harm for the sacred!"

Under His Majesty, there were bursts of enthusiastic shouts from all the disciples. In the crowd, only Chu Xuan was silent, and said in his heart: "If that headless monster is not a good kind, then what is its intention to escort itself to Chongsheng Island thousands of miles away?"

I thought about it for a long time, but I was confused.
