Autopsy metamorphosis
Since that day, the Xuantian Sect suffered a loss under Cangyue's hands, the number of times it has made trouble for Huashan has become less and less, and after a few days, it can almost be said that the Xuantian Sect's power in Huashan has disappeared.
It is inevitable to regard this as the credit of Cangyue, maybe it was the Cangyue girl who was so frightened that all the Xuantian Sect fled back to the north, but although everyone was giggling on the surface, several people still privately heard the more reliable truth from the disciples of Huashan.
"I heard that a convoy of gifts for the imperial court is going to pass through Huashan." The Huashan disciple said.
A few people glanced at each other, but there was no surprise, after all, they had learned the news from Bei Ming early in the morning, Qi Yun asked: "Every few years, there are courtiers from foreign domains who come to offer gifts to the imperial court, this is not unusual, why does the Xuantian Church avoid it?" ”
The Huashan disciple said mysteriously: "I heard that there are a few bold guys who plan to rob this batch of gifts, and the Xuantian Sect is worried that if they don't leave at this moment, they will easily become substitutes for the dead." ”
Cangyue couldn't help laughing a little, this thing is also quite interesting, the Xuantian Sect is full of notoriety, if the imperial court can't catch anyone at that time, maybe it will really throw this pot on their heads, although from a realistic level, this kind of thing is not a lot of debt for them.
But obviously the Xuantian Sect didn't think so, so before the convoy arrived, they evacuated in advance, which was cheap for Qiyun and them, although they didn't make a big contribution, but the reputation of repelling the Xuantian Sect was given to them very generously by Huashan and the others.
After sending away the disciples of Nahua Mountain, Bei Ming said with a smile: "These guys from the Wuyue Sect have a good calculation, and they take advantage of it, but they throw all the trouble at us." ”
Shangyang showed a puzzled expression, and Qi Yun explained: "Although the Xuantian Sect has a bad relationship with Huashan this time, it has no intention of starting a war, and the two sides are considered to have a superficial taste, and the current Wuyue is fighting endlessly, and they do not have the conditions to fight with the Demon Dao, so they want to give us their reputation, so that the two factions of Wudang and Xiaoyao can charge for them." ”
"This is ridiculous," Shangyang said angrily, "Could it be that the Xuantian Sect is all blind, and they can't see such an obvious calamity?" ”
"You can see it, you can't see it, people in the rivers and lakes can't live with a face," Beiming laughed mockingly: "Even if you know that it is the trick of the Huashan faction, the Xuantian Sect will still regard our two factions as the number one enemy, because the reputation has fallen on us, as long as the people on the rivers and lakes feel that we slapped them in the face, that is." ”
"Shameless." Shangyang scolded with a dark face.
Qi Yun looked at Bei Ming: "Compared to this matter, Poor Dao is more curious that in addition to the friends of the North Ming Dao, could it be that there are other people who have the same idea?" ”
"Don't worry, no," Bei Ming said in a firm tone: "I deliberately released these news." ”
"Why is that?" Shangyang was puzzled.
Bei Ming shrugged and said, "I'm here to let some irrelevant people not get involved, you see, isn't the Xuantian Sect scared away because of this." ”
"Having said that," Shangyang frowned, "But didn't you warn the imperial court in advance, and what if they strengthened their precautions because of this?" ”
Beiming smiled and said, "Peace of mind, before the imperial court reacts, we must have grabbed the things." ”
"Rob?"
Beiming's words made the faces of the three people in the room change slightly, and Shangyang suddenly got up: "You really have the idea of harming us!" ”
Risking curiosity to look at the appearance of a tribute and directly robbing a gift from a foreign vassal are two different things.
If it is the former, with the chaos in the court now, at most they will scold a few words and then pinch their noses and admit it, and they have nothing to lose anyway.
But if it is the latter, whether it is to show the majesty of the imperial court or to prevent the foreign vassals from looking down on their force, the imperial court must respond.
Beiming soothed: "Don't worry, listen to me first, I will definitely take things away, but the court may not find out, we can come to a trick to hide from the world, anyway, people worship stones, there are so many stones in the world, there is always something close to replace it." ”
Qi Yun's eyes were deep, and he looked at Bei Ming Dao: "Poor Dao doesn't understand, why did Daoist friends have to take away that strange Heavenly Stone, could it be for a few words in the ancient books?" ”
As he spoke, Qi Yun glanced at Cangyue, who was silent for a long time, and his eyes became deeper and deeper: "A few days ago, Miss Cangyue said that she was divining, and Daoist friends seemed to be unbelieving, but what is the difference between the Taoist records thousands of years ago and the divination hexagram today?" ”
"It's still a little different," Beiming raised his eyebrows, "At least the book doesn't say that I will die young." ”
After saying that, Beiming laughed and left the house, thinking that he was going to find a replacement stone, it seemed that he had made up his mind, and the three of them could not be persuaded to come back.
Qi Yun just shook his head, got up and was about to leave, Shangyang was a little undecided, he looked at the other party: "Senior brother, what should we do?" ”
Shangyang was a little entangled in his heart, rationally speaking, Beiming was asking for trouble, they should avoid it from afar, so as not to get into trouble, but walking the rivers and lakes pays attention to a righteous word, if they leave at this moment, it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
Moreover, Shangyang quietly glanced at Cangyue, his heart was not yet set at the moment, and if he was asked to leave at this time, he might not be able to move.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and we will look at it." Qi Yun said lightly, and then left the room.
Now only Shangyang and Cangyue are left, and the atmosphere is a little silent.
Shangyang wanted to find something to talk about, and looking at Cangyue, who was in a trance, he coughed and said, "Miss Cangyue seems to have a little little to say today. ”
Hearing this, Cangyue raised her head, wrinkled her nose and said, "You mean I usually talk a lot of nonsense?" ”
Shangyang hurriedly shook his head: "Of course not, but does the girl have something on her mind?" ”
Cangyue rolled her eyes: "Really, you still ask if you know that the girl's family has something on your mind, no wonder you have to bring a senior brother when you go down the mountain to practice." ”
Shangyang lowered his head a little embarrassed, and Cangyue smiled: "Just kidding, Brother Shangyang is still better to get along with than Brother Qiyun." ”
Hearing this, Shangyang's face visibly became brighter, Cangyue bent the corners of her eyes, and her eyes were a little heavy: "It's just that I'm really a little annoyed and confused now, and I will be a little impulsive when I'm in a bad mood, Brother Shangyang, don't worry about me." ”
"How come," Shangyang immediately said: "If the girl has any difficulties, can you tell me that the girl is worried that Beiming's move will easily provoke the pursuit of the imperial court?" ”
Cangyue shook her head slightly, she put her head on the table with her hands on her cheeks, and said in a quiet tone: "Do you remember the prophecy I said before?" ”
Shangyang nodded: "It turns out that the girl is worried about this, indeed, the Miao people's divination method is far from the Central Plains Taoism, I sound like it is in the clouds at all, I'm afraid only my senior brother can refer to one or two." ”
"It's normal that you don't understand, because that's all my casual nonsense." Cangyue's words of course stunned Shangyang.
Cangyue grinned and said: "Actually, I don't know any prophecies at all, it's similar to the situation of Big Brother Beiming, and the strange prophecies I told you to listen to are actually from the ancient books of the Lingyue Clan." ”
"I see." Shangyang nodded as if he didn't understand, and then said, "Since the prophecy is already false, what is the girl still worried about?" ”
"What if I told you, then, that everything we have experienced up to this point is exactly the same as prophesied in the ancient books?"
Cangyue raised her face, but her bright smile was full of fear and helplessness, and her tone was light, as if she was in an infinite void.
