Chapter Twenty-Nine: Domineering and Calm
Senior Brother Xu?
We were sitting on stone benches under the vines in the courtyard, but when we heard movement outside, we all stood up at once.
Could it be the Maoshan Torture Hall who came to drive us away?
Everyone's faces were a little unsightly, and the fifth brother, who was more anxious, even touched his hand directly to his waist.
This time, he brought a weapon.
But at this time, the third uncle stretched out his hand to stop him, pressed on the palm of his sword, and whispered: "This is someone else's house, you are not the master here." ”
When the fifth brother heard this, he sat down slowly.
At this time, Xu calmly walked out of the house, came to the courtyard, opened the door, saw the person outside, and arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Lin Feng Manglin, who came to visit late at night, I don't know what to see?" ”
He knew we were afraid, but he didn't invite anyone into the courtyard.
The man outside greeted him, and then said enthusiastically: "Senior Brother Xu is polite, when I passed by the market just now, I heard that you were back, and I was happy, so I came to take a look - you are doing well in the United States, why do you want to run back?" ”
Xu calmly and politely said: "My mother was found to have kidney failure, and I was going to take her to Kyoto for treatment, so I specially asked for leave and rushed back to pick her up." ”
The man said so...... Senior Brother Xu, I'm free tonight, I haven't seen you for a long time, let's go to the front wine shop and have a good time?
Xu calmly refused very politely: "No, since I was transferred to work abroad, I have quit drinking-you know, working abroad, the pressure is too great, I am afraid that if I drink too much wine and talk nonsense, it will delay my work." ”
Then Lin Fengmang smiled and said that this is in his own sect, where can it be compared with foreign countries?
He tried his best to persuade him, but Xu calmly still didn't agree, saying no, no, tonight, I still have something to do tomorrow, forget it......
He tried his best to excuse the other party and was silent for a while before he spoke: "Senior Brother Xu, in fact, I came here this time to help someone invite you over as a guest. ”
Xu calmly raised his head and said, "Who wants to see me?" ”
Lin Fengmang said: "Senior Brother Luo Yonghao......"
Xu calmly shook his head and said I'm sorry, Senior Brother Luo Yonghao and I don't have a reason to be old, and it's embarrassing to see each other, so it's better not to see each other - Senior Brother Lin, it's getting late, and I still have to serve my mother to rest, so I won't say anything more to you.
He closed the door a little unkindly, and even if the man wanted to say more, he couldn't pull off that face, so he had to say goodbye.
However, listening to the other party's reaction should not be pleasant.
Closing the courtyard door, Xu calmly returned to the courtyard, and when he saw that we were all looking towards him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly twice, and said, "Sorry to disturb everyone." ”
Uncle Xiao stepped forward and said, "It's us who should say I'm sorry for causing you to get involved in this matter." ”
Xu calmly shook his head, and said that Tao Tingqian is the granddaughter of Tao Zhangjiao, she died suddenly, if there is no explanation at all, there is no need for the dignified face of Maoshan to exist, this matter is not only your business, but also something that everyone who thinks that they are disciples of Maoshan Sect must figure out......
Uncle Xiao sighed and said that there are not many people who can have your thoughts.
Xu looked at him calmly and said that others don't know, but I know myself, and I am in charge of this matter.
Xu calmly didn't say much, and after hugging his fists with us, he turned back into the house.
Uncle Xiao returned to the vine and sighed, but didn't say much, Qu Fatsan couldn't help but ask, "Who is that Senior Brother Luo Yonghao?" ”
The third uncle replied, saying that he was the elder of the Maoshan Sect, and he used to be the most proud disciple of his father Xu Xiumei, but after inheriting the position of the elder, whether it was his attitude or his way of acting, he was not too good, and his reputation was unbearable, so Xu calmly looked down on him a little.
Uncle Xiao sighed and said Maoshan Sect, this generation is not as good as the generation.
When the Maoshan Sect was at its most glorious, among the top ten elders, if an elder was brought out at random and walked on the rivers and lakes, he would be treated like the head of another sect.
At that time, Elder Maoshan was a very powerful synonym, and all of them were true cultivators.
It's a pity that today's Maoshan Presbyterian Church is not as good as before.
We waited for a while, and when we saw that there was no torture hall coming over, Uncle Xiao sent a message, asking everyone to go and rest, and wait for tomorrow, and everyone will go back to the room to rest.
When I woke up the next day, because the environment was unfamiliar, I didn't get up early to exercise as usual, but went to the yard to wait.
I'm not the first one, Uncle Xiao has already gotten up.
In the corner of the courtyard, he kept wiping a wooden sword, very carefully, as if he was caressing his lover.
I can see that the third uncle should be very serious about this action.
Within a quarter of an hour, everyone had arrived.
Uncle Xiao stopped Xu calmly, who was about to go out, and said seriously: "You still have something to do, you need to take your mother to Kyoto for treatment, you don't care about this matter." ”
Xu looked at him calmly and seriously, and said Old leader, if you are me, what should I do?
Uncle Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "If I were you, I would leave with my mother and not get involved in this matter......"
Ha, ha, ha......
Xu smiled calmly, and said that the old leader, you are retired, but you began to not tell the truth - let's go, I have heard a little bit of that guy Dendrobium, although he is mean and unkind, but he will never act recklessly, since he let you eat closed-door soup, he naturally has some basis, if this is what that person meant, I am afraid that you will have to eat again this time.
Uncle Xiao said that I am not afraid of eating closed-door soup, and I am afraid that it will affect you.
Xu calmly laughed, and said Don't worry, my roots are no longer in Maoshan now, but in the court, even if Fu Jun is the real person in charge of the sect, when he sees me, he will shout Senior Brother Xu, he can't handle me.
When it came to this, Uncle Xiao was no longer hypocritical, and said, "In this way, you will have to calm you down." ”
The group left Xu's house, walked through the street, left the town, and then went straight to the east.
At the end of the eastern avenue, there is a mountain peak.
The name of the mountain is called Sanmao Peak, and the temple on the peak is called Qingchi Palace.
There are enshrined the ancestors of the Three Qing Daoists, as well as countless Taoist gods, as well as the sages of the Sanmao Zhenjun and the Maoshan Sect, which is the foundation of the Maoshan Sect and the residence of the real people of the Maoshan Sect.
All important matters of the Maoshan Sect will be decided there.
And now, we have to go up the mountain and ask the Maoshan master who is sitting in the main hall about Tao Tingqian's death after falling off the cliff.
The group walked up the mountain slowly, and Xu Danding's prestige in Maoshan was obviously very high, and along the way, many people greeted him, looking very enthusiastic and respectful.
In the face of these, Xu calmed people as his name suggested, and he seemed very calm.
His smile was like boiled water.
We followed him, I don't know if it was yesterday's events that spread, I could feel the burning eyes of many people, and I felt the burning gaze that fell on me, and I knew that many people should still remember me as a person.
was once suspected of possessing the secret of the Maoshan Sect, so Lu Yan, who personally escorted the six elders of the torture hall and Liu Xuedao to the mountain.
Lu Yan, the initiator of Xiao Keming, the former head of the real person, left the mountain angrily.
Lu Zuo's cousin Lu Yan......
No matter which name it is, it is extremely eye-catching, I thought that after leaving Maoshan by luck, this person would disappear with his tail between his legs, and never appear in the sight of the Maoshan Sect again.
Unexpectedly, not long after, he actually appeared in the Maoshan Sect again.
I felt that if it weren't for Xu calmly carrying it in front, I was afraid that countless people would have come over and were ready to teach me a lesson.
We went up the hill and up the stairs to the gate of the Seichi Palace.
There were two Taoist priests in Tsing Yi at the door who stopped us.
The other party said in a serious and businesslike manner: "The person who came is a common name." ”
Xu calmly said with a calm face: "Under the Maoshan Gate, Xu is calm. ”
The Taoist priest in Tsing Yi arched his hand and said that it was the son of Elder Xu Xiumei, please come in.
Xu calmly walked forward, but we were stopped.
The Taoist priest in Tsing Yi said with an irrelevant face: "The name of the person who came. ”
We reported our names in turn, and said expressionlessly: "You are not from the Maoshan Sect, no matter how you sneak into the Maoshan Sect and leave on your own, Maoshan will not hold you responsible......
Syllable......
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a crisp slap in the face.
The person who swung this slap was Xu calmly.
After slapping this slap, as if it was none of his business, his hands drooped and he looked straight ahead.
The Taoist priest in Tsing Yi covered his red face, was so aggrieved that he was about to cry, glared at Xu calmly, and said You, how do you beat people?
Xu said calmly and calmly: "Fu Jun's disciples are not strict, I will help him teach, is there a problem?" ”
The man's face was swollen and red, tears swirled in his eyes, but they didn't drip down, he looked very aggrieved, and at this time, Xu calmly looked at the other Taoist and said seriously: "Is there anything else?" ”
The man fell silent, not daring to say more.
He just turned his head, hugged his fist at Uncle Xiao and us, and said Everyone, keep walking, there is still a distance from the main hall of Qingchi Palace.
We passed the two guards in Tsing Yi and continued to walk, but they did not move.
Like a sculpture.
Further up, through the archway, then through the mountain road, and through a square, finally we came to the front of the main hall where I confronted the people of Maoshan before.
The entrance to the temple was guarded and not allowed to enter.
Xu calmly stepped forward and said quite politely: "Xu calmly under the Maoshan Sect, brought the Jurong Xiao family to visit the real person in charge, and hoped to pass it on." ”
The man looked at us for a while, and then he gave up his hand and said yes, let's go.
The other party walked a few steps, and Xu said calmly: "This nephew, if you learn Dendrobium, I guarantee that you will not be able to get out of the mountain gate of Maoshan Sect in your life." ”
When the man heard this, he was shocked and slowly turned around.
He glanced at Xu calmly and calmly, and then said slowly: "Don't dare." ”
