Yao Banxian sighed sadly: "It's all my fault, I can only blame me for having no way to manage the sect, and after all, I still buried the root of the curse, is my Qiankun faction about to suffer a catastrophe because of him?" It's pathetic, hateful......" His words were filled with anger and remorse.

Yao Banxian looked at the dim yellow oil lamp, paused for a moment, and said: "Alas, I also did something wrong, and I am ashamed to think about it, I still can't call the names of some apprentices." This has already alarmed him, it seems that it will not be easy to catch him, I really want to see who he is, who has such courage? ”

Ji En was quite surprised, Brother Yao, who has always been arrogant, lonely and good-looking, would take the initiative to admit his mistakes, this Qiankun faction has exhausted Brother Yao's life's hard work, and he is about to be made to lose all his money by the "lurker", let alone Brother Yao, no one can accept it......

He comforted: "Brother Yao doesn't have to blame himself too much, the matter has come to this point, and he can only go with the flow, as long as we are here, this Qiankun faction will not die." ”

In fact, Yao Banxian has always been cautious and subtle, when he first founded the Qiankun faction, after his layers of assessment and selection, Xiangtian and the eight of them stood out among the crowd, the eight of them not only respected the teacher, good conduct, in the rivers and lakes to eliminate evil and promote good, for the people to do chivalrous righteousness, leaving the reputation of "gentlemen and eight swords", the Qiankun faction was able to gain a foothold in the martial arts, and quickly grew into the first major faction in the border of the Central Plains.

However, the more proud the spring breeze, the more undisciplined Yao Banxian became, not so much that he was confused, but rather because of ambition.

In order to achieve the goal of dominating the Central Plains, Yao Banxian did not listen to the persuasion of Ji En and the "Eight Swords of the Gentleman", and wantonly recruited disciples and grandchildren, and the Qiankun faction was overcrowded for a time.

As the saying goes, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, his Qiankun faction seems to be strong and strong, but in fact, the fish and dragons are mixed, most of them are some chickens and dogs, and then after a big purge, nearly half of the apprentices and grandchildren were expelled from the division, but how can the things that have been defiled be as clear as ever?

Although Yao Banxian is cautious, but after drinking can not control his words and deeds, once at the celebration of the establishment of the faction, a disciple asked him, this faction has a book of cultivating immortals for the treasure of the town?

In front of everyone's eyes, Yao Banxian actually hooked up with this apprentice grandson, called him a brother, and said, Of course, such a mysterious ancient book is only worthy of my Qiankun faction, and then he kicked the disciple grandson and shouted, do you want to learn?

The disciple Sun was so frightened that he knelt on the spot to admit his mistake, and after he woke up, the suspicious Yao Banxian drove the disciple Sun out of the Qiankun faction.

Afterwards, Yao Banxian explained to his disciples and grandchildren that this was all his drunken nonsense, and he couldn't take it seriously, and he warned his disciples and grandchildren that if anyone talked nonsense about it, he would not be polite.

But the disciple who was driven out by him has no reason not to say it, even if the disciple doesn't spread the matter, there is no leaky wall in this world.

……

Xia Yulong continued: "Grandpa Fang just remembered that the man was rescued, I think he won't dare to come back for a while, we might as well take this opportunity to find out his identity." ”

Yao Banxian was overjoyed and said, "This is a good way, I will immediately ask the disciples and grandchildren to gather in the courtyard and count the number of people." ”

Xia Yulong stopped: "Grandpa, by all means, we have to do this quietly, the less people know, the better." "He's thinking a little bit more long-term about it.

Yao Banxian rubbed the mustache on his lips, pondered for a moment, and said: "Well, it makes sense, I understand what Yulong meant, but if you rashly go to the ward, it will also alarm the disciples and grandchildren, arouse their suspicions, how can you do it without knowing it?" ”

He looked at Xia Yulong with a straight face and asked, a little impatient to know what Xia Yulong thought.

Xia Yulong turned around, looked at Lan Xin and said, "Xin'er, this has to rely on the help of the five ghost seniors." ”

Lan Xin nodded and began to speak to herself, only to see a water-blue point of light overflowing from her chest, and she turned into a water ghost the moment she landed.

The water ghost stepped forward and said with a smile: "Young master, what is the matter with me?" ”

Xia Yulong told the water ghost his thoughts......

The water ghost smiled again: "Come on, you have found the right person for voyeurism, this thing is guaranteed to be done properly......" As he spoke, he jumped up and turned into a star and floated out of the window.

Ji En suddenly remembered something, and said hurriedly: "There is one more thing I didn't tell you, when I went to chase the lurker back, I saw Da Tianer scurrying around in the pile of rocks near the side door, and I didn't know what it was looking for. ”

Dekang nodded: "Yes, I saw it too." ”

Zhang Xian's eyes lit up and said, "We have to go and see, I'm afraid there will be new discoveries, could it be that the lurkers have left something?" With that, he pulled the blue core and wanted to go out.

Xia Yulong stepped forward to stop him: "Don't go, it can arouse the vigilance of the people in black, we are in the light and they are in the dark." ”

Blue Core asked, "How is that good?" ”

Xia Yulong opened the door and whistled......

Da Tianer rushed out of the darkness and quickly ran into the house, making love to Xia Yulong, and a burst of fragrance rushed to his face.

Xia Yulong said: "Da Tianer has a night-scented fragrance on his body......

As he spoke, he sniffed it carefully, feeling that the fragrance was not as strong as the last few times, his brows furrowed slightly, it was difficult to associate the man in black with the nightshade, he pondered for a moment, still puzzled.

Lan Xin asked, "Brother, do you have any new discoveries?" ”

Xia Yulong shook his head and replied: "I also wonder why Da Tianer has always been sensitive to fragrance, why does it smell of nightshade, I also noticed it some time ago, I think this matter is strange......"

As he spoke, a bright light flashed, and the water ghost fell lightly on the table of the Eight Immortals.

He "hehe, he smiled", turned a somersault forward, jumped off the table, and said: "I checked all the rooms, but I found that the bedding of bed No. 18 in the east wing was messy, and there was still residual heat on the bed, but there was no trace of the person, and a few young men next to him were sleeping like cows. ”

Ji En exclaimed: "That bed sleeps is the twelve apprentices of the ground Sun Wang, usually he rarely practice, but he is good at some flowers and plants, you say that this big man does not like to dance knives and guns, but loves to plant some flowers and plants." ”

Xia Yulong sorted out his thoughts, suddenly realized, and said: "I remembered, I finally have some eyebrows, when the fragrance on Da Tianer's body is very strong, it will definitely attract the attack of the man in black the next day, and the smell of nightshade is providing a hint to the man in black." He looked at the water ghost, "Senior, do you smell Da Tianer's body, does his futon smell like this?" ”

The water ghost kneaded Da Tianer's ears, sniffed for a moment, and said, "That's exactly what it smells like." ”

Xia Yulong sighed lightly and said, "That's right, this Sun is expected to have something to do with the man in black." ”

Yao Banxian snorted, slammed his fist on the table of the Eight Immortals, and said angrily: "This turtle grandson joined the sect earlier, and he usually looks sick, but for his tuberculosis, he has consumed a lot of my true qi and pills, alas, I really lost my eyes." ”

Zhang Xian said angrily: "Grandpa usually treats him well, but he will take revenge, I will never spare him next time I see him, I am really angry." ”

Jien asked, "Brother Yao, what should we do next?" ”

Yao Banxian looked at the two buckets of water next to the Eight Immortals table, and replied: "Alas, what else can I do if the matter has come to this point, as you said, go with the flow, take one step at a time, or can you still catch that Sun Wang and kill him?" ”

The water ghost said indignantly: "Why are you so unassertive, let our five ghosts go and arrest that kid for you, and let you deal with it." ”

Dejian said angrily: "Yes, let's go and arrest Sun Wangwang and hand him over to the master to deal with, avenge the villagers and dead brothers in Longgu Town, and seek justice for my Qiankun faction." ”

Dekang also said: "My Qiankun faction was made into a miasma by him, Master, this person has a vicious heart, and he must not stay alive." ”

Dezhong and Dexin shouted in unison: "This matter must not be cheap for him!" ”

The four of them were filled with righteous indignation and couldn't wait to "bring Sun Wang" to justice.

Yao Banxian stroked the goatee on his chin, the curved white eyebrows on the corner of his right eye twitched, his face was iron-blue, he didn't say a word, and he already had a plan for the next thing......

For a moment, he looked at Xia Yulong, wanting to hear what Yulong meant, and see if the two of them had the same thoughts?

Xia Yulong comprehended what Yao Banxian meant, he stepped forward and said hurriedly: "Senior Water Ghost, don't fan the flames here, go back to the Dark Fire Ball to rest first, there are still many things to do next." ”

The water ghost replied "yes", glanced at Yao Banxian, and said, "If other people tell me such an exciting thing, I will be anxious with him, but I will listen to everything the young master says." As he spoke, he turned into a ray of light and entered the fireball in the blue core's body.

Xia Yulong looked at Dekang and the four of them and said: "I naturally understand your feelings, I don't want that Sun is expected to be arrested, after this incident, the man in black is vigilant, if we act recklessly, we will only throw ourselves into the net, this matter has to be considered in the long run, grandpa will have his own arrangements, what we have to do is to calm down and wait for the opportunity, I think it won't be long before the trouble of the man in black will be completely eradicated." ”

Yao Banxian let out a "hmm" and nodded in agreement: "Yulong is right, the more we get to this time, the more we have to calm down." ”

Ji En also said: "That's right, don't mess up yourself at this time." ”

Yao Banxian pinched his fingers, it was Yin Shi at this time, time couldn't be delayed any longer, he looked at Dejian and said: "Don't think about anything else, the most important thing at the moment is to wake up your master, and things will be much easier in the future!" ”

Dejian said: "Please also ask the master to make it clear that the four of us will go all out." ”

Yao Banxian instructed Dejian and the four of them to go to the room to get a small stove, and a charcoal fire was lit in the stove, and an iron pot was set up on the stove.

When the iron pot was burned red, Yao Banxian scooped the water from the bucket into the iron pot with a wooden spoon.

Before the water could reach the bottom of the pot, it turned into wisps of smoke on the walls of the pot.

Yao Banxian tried several times in a row, but the water was still like this, he thought for a moment, scooped a scoop of water and threw it into the air.

Under the dim yellow oil lamp, the water in the spoon was scattered like raindrops, and the water droplets danced like pearls on the bluestone slab, and then disappeared without a trace on the slate.

Yao Banxian leaned down and touched the bluestone slab with his hand, the bluestone slab was dry as before, and there was no trace of being soaked by the rain, his face gradually showed joy, he laughed, and said a few times, "Wonderful!" ”

Yao Banxian rubbed the mustache on his lips, pondered for a moment, and instructed Ji En to fetch a silver vessel from the treasure chest in the wardrobe, and he scooped the water into the vessel.

Suddenly, the water in the vessel boiled, but no water vapor came out, and after a while, the water level in the vessel gradually dropped, and the boiling water disappeared.

Everyone present was silent, looking at this strange phenomenon one after another in surprise, thinking that Yao Banxian was playing tricks and having fun.

In Tongtian's eyes, Xia Yulong couldn't see any clues or abnormalities.

After a while, Yao Banxian sighed with relief, nodded and smiled: "This is the spirit of water, differentiated from ten thousand waters, no wonder they have a common sense and can flow on the top of the mountain, in fact, water is alive, they are the spirit of all things." ”

Ji En asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Yao Banxian said: "You have also seen it just now, this water will melt when it meets fire, melt when it meets stones, and disappear when it encounters silver, no matter what they encounter, it will dissipate into the invisible, but in these three worlds, everything will eventually return to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and they cannot escape the fate of mutual restraint, you see, only this wooden barrel can consolidate its roots, as the saying goes, one thing descends one thing, this is the water without roots, the wood without roots." ”

Ji En smiled and asked, "Could it be that this is the essence of aquatic wood?" ”

Yao Banxian nodded and replied: "Brother Ji En is finally a little enlightened, 'The water without roots moistens all things, cleanses the red dust and disturbs right and wrong, waits for a glass of wine at dusk, and the cool breeze is full of things at night'...... How can there be anything that can be said clearly in the Three Realms, all cause and effect rise from the red dust, and also fall from the red dust, good is bad, bad is good, rootless is rooted, and rootless is rootless. ”

Ji En scratched his head and said: "Although I don't understand the deep meaning of this, but I hear the taste of Buddhist Zen, you rarely say these detour words, hehe, why did Brother Yao become such a mother-in-law?" ”

Yao Banxian glanced at Ji En, and said: "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are interconnected, where do you understand the deep meaning of this, I have a feeling, I realized so much, and I am too lazy to bother with other people, I have a strong premonition, in the near future I will soar into an immortal ......"

Ji En "tsk" a few times, and said with a smile: "I am still an immortal, I dream of becoming an immortal all day long, and after I wake up Xiangshan, it is true that I will cure my body." ”

Yao Banxian snorted coldly and said: "I don't care about you in front of my grandson and granddaughter, time doesn't wait for anyone, as soon as the time passes, I have to wait until tomorrow, so I will work immediately." ”

At this time, a trace of fish white belly appeared in the eastern sky, and in the alternation of light and dark, several strange faint blue lights disappeared in the sky above Longgu Town.

The dragon on Xia Yulong's body blinked, and fell into a deep sleep again, he was shocked, and suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest.
