The clouds are vast, the sun is in the sky, the wind pushes the pine waves, and the weather is cool and autumnal.

In the land of the north, the four seasons are rarely so distinct, and in such a season, no matter who or what they do, they will always add three points of vigor and five points of strength, which can be called the joy and spirit of the mountains and rivers, and the righteousness should be high.

Someone is not like that

"It turned out that there was no. ”

Standing in the mountains, looking out over the four wildernesses, he didn't have time to precipitate his pride and enthusiasm before he was disturbed by the sound of hurried footsteps; Xuanji Zi didn't look back and asked casually, his voice was as calm and indifferent as before; only those who knew his mind well could see that the eyes of the head of the Dao Alliance were not focused on the scenery in front of him, but firmly fixed on the north thousands of miles away.

There, the violent cold snap is accumulating Liliang and preparing to invade the south, and everywhere it passes will be full of wind and frost, and there will be no trace of autumn.

"More than half of the 271 second-class rudders and 83 first-class rudders have been verified, more than 60 have doubts, and no more than 30 have problems. ”

Doubts are still problems, ordinary people are too lazy to distinguish the slight difference between words, but for an organization like Daomeng, the difference of one word may mean countless heads.

Listening to those numbers, Xuanjizi's body was a little tight, and the placket of his clothes that was swaying by the autumn wind suddenly fell down, like a knife slashing at the earth, and he couldn't make a sound.

"There is a problem with the rudder, how is the situation of the local sect?"

"The chaos is hidden, and it is about to erupt. ”

The report was made by a sturdy man, not dressed in Daomeng clothes, with a cold and sinister expression that only a merchant could have, and the problem was in his eyes, the strong man had a pair of eyes that were completely incommensurate with his stiff countenance, and the flickering frequency was terrifyingly high, as if the fox's eyes were on a tiger's face, revealing a bit of comical.

Thanks to these strange eyes, the strong man's voice was a little smooth, and he said cautiously.

"It's not too serious. As long as it is verified and remediated in a timely manner, there will be no chaos. ”

"Whether it's serious or not is not the quantity, nor is it that the sect is not chaotic, but whether the authenticity has been found. ”

Xuanjizi was not in the mood and didn't need to listen to comforting words, so he took over the conversation and said indifferently: "The Dao Alliance is fine, and there is nothing in the world, so what this seat asks." As a result, it was found that there was none. ”

The strong man replied, "The matter is too big and the time is still short, so the elders advise to be cautious, so as not to fall into the calculations of others and make a mess first." ”

Xuan Jizi said lightly: "Let it be messed up if it should be messed up, and if it shouldn't be messed up, I will pass on the words of this seat to the elders later, if it is really not easy to check, call back the thirty problematic helmsmen." Pick out half of them and search them one by one, and you can always find some clues. ”

Hearing these cold words, the strong man lowered his head slightly, his eyes flashed more urgently, his mouth responded continuously, but he refused to move his feet. Xuan Jizi immediately noticed the abnormality and asked with a slight frown.

"Got something to say?"

With this statement, the status of the strong man in the Dao Alliance can be seen. At the same time, it also shows one thing, Xuanjizi has great trust in him and can almost be called dependent.

The strong man replied respectfully, "The thirty helmsmen in question. Each of them has an elder in an important position, and twenty-one of them have been or are currently practicing in the worship hall, and seven of them are closing the entrance to life and death, preparing to ascend to Sendai in a hundred years. ”

Hearing these words, Xuan Jizi's eyes suddenly sharpened, but the person fell silent. I haven't spoken again for a long time.

After waiting for a while and not responding, the strong man said tentatively: "Actually, the clues are already there." ”

Xuan Jizi said: "You mean Le Hongtao?"

The strong man replied: "The deputy envoy of Le has worked hard, has outstanding talents, and has excellent wit."

Xuan Jizi said: "Don't beat around the bush. Just tell this seat, you, and the elders of the torture hall, do you suspect that the unsuccessful disciple in this seat is plotting rebellion. ”

The strong man replied seriously: "The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates just feel that Xiao Shisanlang doesn't know Deputy Envoy Le at all, and there is no reason to frame him for no reason." ”

Xuan Jizi sneered and said: "This seat is passed down by the family, and this alone can be a reason. ”

The strong man had no choice but to remain silent.

Xuanjizi silently looked into the distance, feeling the cold in the north that even monks should be afraid of with his powerful touch, as if looking for some traces of the past that had been hidden by time, and his expression slowly softened.

"Back then, this Dao industry was just beginning, and his temperament was as arrogant as Tao'er, and somehow he had a ridiculous idea: to break into the Immortal Spirit Hall and take a look at the so-called Ascension Immortal Terrace in advance. If they are as powerful as the legend says, they will worship and practice under them, and if they are in vain, this seat will choose them!"

"Do what you want, settle down the things at hand, and go to the ice field, as a result"

A look of self-deprecation and even horror appeared on Xuan Jizi's face, and he did not continue to talk about it. After a pause, he said, "It was that time that I brought back a baby who was still swaddling and named him Le Hongtao. ”

A few simple words are enough for the strong man to understand many things that he couldn't figure out before, and his body is therefore lower.

Xuan Jizi said: "Ordinary people see that this seat is doting on Tao'er, and they only think that it is a master-apprentice relationship, but they don't know the other one."

"Please stop, Lord. The strong man's face was sweating for some reason, and he wanted to stop Xuan Jizi from talking about it.

"Hmm, uh, you're mistaken, Tao'er is not related to this seat. ”

The strong man was stunned for a moment, but instead of becoming more relaxed, his expression became more bitter.

In an organization like the Dao Alliance, the inheritance of the throne is not because of the bloodline, of course, the heirs of the throne must have some advantages, but it cannot be concluded from this. Xuanjizi not only has disciples, but also direct bloodline cultivation, because he obviously favors Le Hongtao, and some people have been speculating about the truth for a long time. Now listening to his personal veto, the strong man is even more worried in his heart, secretly thinking that this kind of thing is not good news for Dao Alliance, and of course it is more dangerous for himself, so why bother to know.

I don't know whether it was unintentional or deliberate, Xuan Jizi was silent for a moment and then suddenly said: "Tao'er is the life-saving benefactor of this seat. ”

"Huh!" the strong man stammered, his eyes flashing for him

"Back then, I worked hard to find the fairy hall, and there were dozens of miles away from the main hall when I met a snow sweep slave girl, the woman first asked me what was going on, and I heard a casual remark 'There are more people who don't know the severity', and then beat me up. ”

I don't know if it's because of telling the truth. Xuanjizi's heart knot was untied, and although there was horror on his face that could not be concealed, he still said calmly: "That's the moment, almost knocking me apart!"

The strong man behind him was dumbfounded, still not knowing what to say.

Xuan Jizi clenched his fists, was silent for a long time and then slowly let go. With a lonely expression, he said: "This seat also has that ability now, but it can't be as light as her." ”

The strong man thought for a moment and said sincerely: "The Lord has such an ambition, which is hard to find in the world. ”

Xuanjizi shook his head and said, "You forgot the woman's words: there are more people who don't know how important they are." ”

What else can the strong man say, only silence.

After being silent for a while, Xuanjizi sighed and said: "I was seriously injured by that woman, and my seat was discouraged, and it was chaotic after leaving. Heading south, but not knowing where to go, and when he was about to die, he came across a savage village. ”

Raising his hand to the north, Xuan Jizi said with emotion: "Can you believe that in that ice and snow, monks can't survive easily, and there are people who don't know how to practice at all to reproduce and live, and they look quite happy and calm. ”

The strong man replied honestly: "I have heard some allusions to savages, and it is said that they are born with strong bodies. If you don't practice, you're comparable to a demon beast, so you can survive. As for joy. Savages are not educated, and they feel happy when they have something to eat, so there must be. ”

Xuan Jizi shook his head and said: "Savages live with ice and stone, and each family has a different style, such a person is in such a state. It is by no means comparable to a beast satisfied with a belly. ”

The strong man exclaimed: "The Lord's discerning eyes are beyond the reach of ordinary people. ”

Xuan Jizi smiled, his smile revealed a bit of gloomy and bloody meaning for some reason, and said slowly: "It's a pity that the village I met in this seat is not very lucky. was killed by a powerful demon beast, leaving only Le Hongtao alone. ”

The turn was too sudden, and the strong man didn't know what to say, so he only heard Xuan Jizi say silently: "The one he found in a cave in this seat must have been hidden by his parents; ”

Speaking of this, Xuan Jizi lowered his head and was silent again, his expression changed, and it took a long time to regain his calm.

"When I was found by this seat, Tao'er smiled at me. ”

The strong man didn't know how many times he was surprised, so he had to continue listening.

"An infant baby, whose loved ones died cleanly, hid in a dark cavern, is still laughing. ”

Xuan Jizi seriously recalled the scene back then, his expression became softer and softer, and he said slowly: "So I can't help but think, is it too useless to be like me and not want to live anymore?"

Cause and effect are unraveled from there. The strong man booed and saluted the back of Xuan Jizi, and praised sincerely.

"Congratulations, Lord. ”

"Tao'er is close to Wulei, which is the meaning of this seat, and on the other side of the outer region, Xuanlingzi's junior brother has reported Tao'er's actions one by one, although it is a little frivolous and arrogant, but in terms of his experience, age, and cultivation, it is inevitable. ”

His face turned slightly cold, and Xuan Jizi said: "Just because of Xiao Shisanlang's words, isn't it ridiculous that this seat wants to question the collusion between his subordinates and the Mountain Monarch?"

The strong man didn't know how to respond, thinking in his heart that since he didn't believe Xiao Shisanlang's words, why bother making such a big move and thoroughly investigating all the rudders?

Xuan Jizi said: "What if Xiao Shisanlang didn't mean anything, just because he had heard of Tao'er's fame and casually asked, this seat was busy cleaning the portal? Xiao Shisanlang has a mean, vicious temperament, and is extremely vindictive, and has privately killed the deacon of the Dao League in the past, but there is no ironclad evidence to identify him, so it is inconvenient to take people on Ziyun Island. ”

Xuanjizi groaned and said, "Maybe Xiao Shisanlang did this on purpose just to make this seat like this." ”

Hearing this, the strong man smiled bitterly in his heart, and he didn't dare to speak casually
