Chapter 143: Rumors
The content of the succession ceremony is quite boring, it is nothing more than reading out some unintelligible documents, saying some flattering words, and then showing off the token of the head to everyone, and then putting this token into the woman's own purse.
Ning Suhe looked at everything in front of him with his cheeks in boredom, and couldn't help but yawn.
Not to mention that yesterday she suddenly had a splitting headache and slept all day before recovering her spirits, but she had a dream in which she saw herself enter a dark and narrow place, and was slapped by something, and her whole body fell apart like pain.
She wanted to talk to Linghua, but she didn't know what the scene was in the dream, so she finally thought about it and didn't say it.
"Then let's not say anything for now, and then I'll talk about it when I understand......" Ning Suhe muttered in a low voice, and then raised his eyes to look at the succession ceremony.
The woman in red, who called herself "Chu Chunxi", was holding a jade plate in her hand, and in the center of the plate was the head token. She knelt down on one knee and presented the token to Xie Qianyun, smiling heartily after the token was taken away, and then took the scroll and didn't know what ancient text she was reciting.
"Cut, just such a girl, what can you do, I really don't know what the old boss thinks, pass on the position of head to such a person."
"You know what, people are acting in charge." Generation", do you understand what it means? I stopped doing it, so I let her do it."
"Then why didn't the original head of the house do it? The disciples of Qingyoumen are all obedient, how easy to manage, unlike us, all of them run out as soon as there is a task, and it is difficult to manage!"
"Hey, brother, you don't understand. There's something greasy about it. This Xie master, there are means."
When Ning Suhe heard this, he quickly moved the chair to the right gently, and his voice became a little clearer.
"The old head was originally passed on to the disciple Zhao Ji'an."
"Senior Zhao? Why ...... then?"
"Alas, don't say it, don't say it. Now that she has become the head, it's useless to mention this matter again, and Zhao Ji'an is not the master who can take charge now, it's useless......
The already small discussion disappeared into applause and congratulations, and Ning Suhe wanted to listen to it again, but he couldn't hear it.
In this way, Xie Qianyun doesn't seem to be the head of the house by virtue of his own ability?
The look in her eyes as she looked at the person in the high position changed, and her heart became awkward, "I really want to know what kind of means she used, if only I could listen to them again."
She glanced at Linghua and saw that the two of them were sitting on their sides, not looking like they could speak, so she sat back and ate vegetarian food alone.
The feast was soon over, the food was withdrawn, but the people did not leave.
Yang Xichi stood beside Xie Qianyun and said in a voice like a Hong Zhong: "Everyone, the situation is imminent now. Of the eighteen important cities, the demon army has surrounded ten. Among them, although the seriously damaged Dancheng was garrisoned by Qingyou disciples, the demon army was still eyeing it.
I heard that several sects have been harassed by the demon army, and now is the time for everyone to be in danger."
He picked up the teaglass: "Poor Dao replaces wine with tea, and I respectfully respect you for coming here to discuss countermeasures regardless of the danger."
Everyone said, "Isn't learning to be able to use it at this time?"
"Daoist Yang said these words too politely, the world is peaceful, we can have peace!"
"I implore Daoist Yang to take us to discuss countermeasures quickly, the apprentices I sent are still struggling to support it!"
Seeing this scene, Xie Qianyun couldn't help but secretly clench his fists, but his face was generously toasted together: "I Qingyoumen will definitely be able to lead everyone to repel the demon army together!"
Seeing Xie Qianyun suddenly speak, everyone looked at each other, smiled and raised their glasses, and drank this glass of water and wine.
"What's the matter?"
The succession ceremony finally ended, and several strong men said as they walked: "We are here to discuss major matters, and as soon as we come, we will let us participate in the succession ceremony of Lao Shizi, and I didn't say a few words about business, and I listened to the official words!" What's going on?"
"Don't complain, you're here. It's only about to be a day, maybe there will be a countermeasure tomorrow, it's useless to be anxious, just wait."
"Why am I not in a hurry! Those monsters are menacing, I don't know if the apprentices can
How long will it last...... I'm afraid that when I go back, the sect will no longer exist......
"Didn't Master Xie put down his cruel words and lead us to repel the demon army?"
The strong man sneered, "Just her? Who doesn't know how many pounds and taels she has? After nearly a hundred years of camping in the Qingyou Gate, this reputation was ruined in her hands!"
"Hey! Don't dare to say this!" As if sensing something, several people looked around, and when they found no one, they relieved themselves, "Be careful that the wall has ears!"
"What ears! I don't want to talk about her dirty tricks!"
A few people dispersed in a hurry, and Ning Suhe came out of the crack in the wall behind them: "The wall not only has ears, but also me! This Qingyoumen really has a drama to watch, I want to tell Linghua the news I heard~"
On the other side, in the middle of the main hall.
Yang Xichi laid out a map on the table: "This is the distribution map of the world, the place circled with cinnabar is eighteen important cities, and the place marked with a cross is the place where the demon army is flooded."
Linghua looked carefully, and each of the three grand territories was densely packed with no less than twenty black forks.
"So many!" Henggu's eyes widened, and he was furious, and leaned down to point to every piece of land on the map, "It's too much of a deception! Where did she come from so many demon armies to plague the world!"
He looked at Yang Xichi: "Old Yang Dao, can you come up with a way to contain them?"
"Defeating Jiang Caokong is much trickier than you imagined." Yang Xichi's tone didn't fluctuate too much, "If it is a head-on confrontation, not only will all the sects and factions lose their troops and lose their morale, but even the people will be displaced, which is really a great evil."
"What then? How can we deal with Jiang Caokong without fighting?" Henggu anxiously grabbed Yang Xichi's sleeve, "We can't let the people get hurt anymore!"
Linghua saw that Heng Gu's blood was nowhere to be sprinkled, and patted him on the shoulder: "If Daoist Yang can say this, it should be the result of the discussion."
"Exactly. Jiang Caokong's next target is Luo Xinhai." Yang Xichi's finger tapped on the bottom right of the map, "This place was originally the sea, and then a piece of land floated up, leaning on mountains and rivers, and across the plains, which is an important hinterland connecting the three continents.
In the near future, the poor Dao will take the good believers of the various sects who are already here to Luo Xinhai, and the two of them will need a helping hand here."
Heng Gu hurriedly said, "I'll go to Luo Xinhai with you."
Yang Xichi immediately replied, "No. Henggu Xiaoyou, you will be with Linghua girl in the Qingyou Gate, protect the three elders and help them successfully break the power of blood control."
Linghua remembered Xie Qianyun's unwilling appearance and asked, "Is Daoist Yang afraid that Master Xie will be unfavorable to the elders?"
"Not only that, but there's more." He calmly put away the map, took out two pieces of rune paper and handed them to Linghua, "Stick them on the door in five days to keep you safe." Remember, if you do commit an offense, don't be soft-hearted when you see anyone."
Linghua heard that the days ahead would not be peaceful, so he accepted the paper talisman and said, "Don't worry, Dao Chief, we will definitely guard the Qingyou Gate well."
Yang Xichi was pleased: "The study of the cracking method is not a matter of one or two days, when the cracking spell is practiced, it will be the day when Jiang Caokong is removed."
When Linghua heard this, he suddenly remembered that in the heart mirror, Jiang Caokong was afraid of loneliness but disdainful of companionship.
"Removing Jiang Caokong" seemed to be everyone's wish, but at this moment, Linghua suddenly didn't feel so strongly. She has seen Jiang Caokong's disgusting appearance due to Yin Tianwu's pretense and diligence, and she has also seen her murderous appearance by unscrupulous means to achieve her goals.
It is undeniable that Jiang Caokong should be damned. But the hesitation at this moment was because she had spied a trace of truth from the viciousness. This kind of aura is an obscure weakness under the armor camouflage, and not everyone can see it.
Linghua took a deep breath and spit out again, dissolving the inexplicable softness in his heart: "So I will wait for that day."
Yang Xichi didn't respond, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he patted Henggu on the shoulder: "Henggu Xiaoyou, it is more dangerous in Qingyoumen than in Luo Xinhai, Poor Dao has a heavy responsibility to entrust to you, can you do it?"
Heng Gu nodded without thinking about it: "What is the important task?"
Yang Xichi said to Heng Gu, "Take a step to speak."
Seeing the two of them walking to the corner and whispering, Linghua sat back where he was at the banquet, thinking about the amazing map.
I thought that Jiang Caokong had no one around him, so he could overhead and kill with one blow, but he didn't expect his subordinates to control so many demon troops. Even if the thief captures the king first, you must control these monsters who are doing evil in the world, otherwise the chaos will continue, and there will be uncontrolled casualties.
Listening to Yang Xichi's meaning, he will continue to work with all factions in the rivers and lakes to protect the human race, and the role of her and Heng Gu is to protect the three elders.
It seems that Yang Xichi focuses on the human world, but in fact, the key is the method of cracking the power of blood control studied by the elders.
"What are they talking about?"
Leng Buding's voice came from behind, Linghua was startled, and looked at the person who came with his heart.
Ning Suhe blinked his eyes wide, and said excitedly, "Leave them alone! Linghua, guess what I just heard?"
Without waiting for Linghua to answer, Ning Suhe told everything he had seen and heard about Xie Qianyun: "Ah~ It's so refreshing to say it! Linghua, do you think this Xie Qianyun has some shady secrets?"
"What kind of secret is it to see the light?" Linghua frowned, "But Master Xie is really strange. Suhe, we need to be vigilant against others these days, if you want, can you always keep an eye on the whereabouts of Master Xie?"
Ning Suhe patted his chest: "Stalker, I'm the best, and I will never let her find out about me."
"That's fine, this Xie Qianyun has to explore carefully."
The night was deep, the wind in the middle of winter was biting cold, and the thin doors and windows of Qingyou Gate could not withstand the howling cold wind. The north wind burrows into the quilt like an eye, making it difficult to sleep.
"Qianyun, is it cold? If it's cold, I'll add some charcoal."
A middle-aged man's voice came from the room, although he was not young, he could still hear infinite tenderness in his tone.
There was no response in the room for a long time.
"Qianyun?" The man asked, "But you're tired today?"
"Don't be tired, go to bed early." The woman's voice was colder than the north wind.
"You haven't been talking to me much lately, but the sect is too busy?" The man asked softly, with a hint of caution in his words.
Xie Qianyun replied bluntly as if she was not interested in this man, "It's very busy."
"That ......"
"Uncle Shi, it's not too early, let's rest early."
As soon as he finished speaking, the candle flame in the house was blown out.
Ning Suhe, who was outside the house, covered his mouth in surprise: "Uncle Shi?! This Xie Qianyun actually lives with her uncle?!"
She looked inside the house twice, saw that she couldn't see anything, and tiptoed out of their door in disappointment.
