At night, feeling the cold and humid that invaded the body all the time on the mountain, Liu Xinyun exhaled his internal strength, and then exhaled a long breath of white air, all the dampness and cold were discharged from the body at this moment.

Liu Xin lay on his bed and meditated, there were many things he didn't understand.

One of them is that the Holy Sect's arrangements this time are too urgent.

After the disciples of the Holy Sect leave the school, they will go down the mountain to practice, and generally the master of each disciple will consider it for him according to his situation, and finally decide where to go and how to experience after discussing with this disciple.

This process will not be short, it will take at least a month, because the Holy Sect has always paid attention to intelligence, and when you decide where to go and how to train, the covert investigation team will do the preliminary investigation and arrangement. This is something that cannot be done in a short period of time.

And this time, the Holy Sect was too impatient, which made Liu Xin feel a hidden worry in his heart.

The second is where did those senior brothers and sisters go, and why did they disappear after leaving the big study. Liu Xin himself has not disappeared, although he is the sect master's personal inheritance, but he does not have any special treatment on weekdays, but not only in practice but also in other affairs, the requirements for him will be higher. Since none of them have disappeared, those who have disappeared are strange.

And what Liu Xin couldn't understand the most was his own task:

As a hundred households of Jinyiwei, try his best to promote, and grasp the power of Jinyiwei

You must know that the Holy Sect has always pursued transcendence from the world, and the most vulgar thing in the world is to enter the court as an official, even if it is a military attaché.

For Liu Xin, the imperial court is a big dye vat, no matter how clear and clean you are, if you plant yourself in this dye vat, you will inevitably become colorful and green, and you can no longer wash it.

Liu Xin's ambition is to be a scattered person, uphold the justice in his heart, and walk freely in the world.

"Ahem!"

Liu Xin was thinking about it, but when he heard a light cough outside the small building, he immediately turned over and sat up, and he heard that this voice was his master.

Holy Sect Master!

The real name of the Holy Sect Sect is Wei Chi Xizhong, Wei Chi is the surname of the previous dynasty, and the most famous is Chi Wenxuan, the first marshal of the Qianguo under the command of the founding emperor of the Zhengyang Dynasty!

But the disciples of the Holy Sect are all from the people, so Liu Xin never thinks that his master has anything to do with the famous Wen Shuai.

"Master, why are you here?" Liu Xin opened the door and respectfully greeted the teacher into the door.

Although the Holy Sect Sect Master was nearly eighty years old, his body was still extremely strong, and his figure was still burly. It is said that the Holy Sect Master is the number one think tank in martial arts, so his image is rumored to be a white-robed figure with a fairy wind and bones.

But in fact, Liu Xin knows that his master is indeed extremely wise and scheming, but at the same time, he is also a person with a violent personality and unruly behavior. Such an image may be different from the conjecture of the martial arts people.

Seeing that the master disliked the long hair and got in the way, he shaved his hair short, which once shocked many elders, and then convened a general meeting of the whole sect and voted unanimously to decide that before the hair of the Holy Sect Master had not grown, he was not allowed to go down the mountain, let alone appear in front of the world without a hat.

The Holy Sect's unanimous decision has always been above the Sect Master, so the Holy Sect Sect Master, despite his unwillingness, still cannot disobey this decision.

"Today, the Senate made a decision, and I only heard about it after the end of the court. These old horsemen didn't wait for me to come back, so they took advantage of this time to send you all away, so that there was no one to use as a teacher! ”

Liu Xin was silent, he wouldn't open his mouth until he didn't know the whole story, but he already knew that the master was here, and it was estimated that he would be able to solve the doubts in his heart.

Wei Chi Xizhong looked around, nodded and said: "You chose to open a small building here alone, and I was afraid that your personality should not be too arrogant, but then I found that I was too worried, and now I know that there is a special charm here." During the day, you can watch the sea of clouds and waves and cultivate sentiment. At night, there is also cold air soaking the body to temper the body. It can be described as an excellent place for self-cultivation and self-cultivation! ”

"Master, I was angry with you at the time, and I chose this place in a fit of anger. But then I regretted it and wanted to change places, but you didn't agree, and said that if I didn't live here, I would get out of the Holy Sect! Liu Xin said with some resentment.

"Ahaha, is that so? I don't remember it! Okay, let's get down to business, the teacher knows that you have a lot of doubts in your heart right now, and the teacher is here to solve your doubts. ”

"Master, please speak, I really want to know, what is the reason why the elders are so anxious this time?"

Yu Chi Xizhong moved a chair and put it on the side of the wall and sat down slowly. Liu Xin's chairs here have short backs and can't be leaned on, while Yu Chi Xizhong likes to lie half-lying.

In his words, the old bones are old, and now you must cultivate your body well, otherwise you won't live long.

Liu Xin is used to seeing the appearance of the master, and only in front of these personal disciples will the master have this kind of lazy appearance, and he still has the demeanor of a grandmaster on weekdays.

"Those old things won't help you master me, so they found an excuse to disperse the disciples, so that the teacher can't complete his plan. This plan is also simple, Emperor Wu City can be used by the power of the imperial court, so why can't the teacher learn a thing or two. Although the current Emperor Xuyang is in the prime of life, several of his dragon cubs are also gradually growing up. Emperor Martial City's plans are very big, we can't just retreat, I'm worried that in a dozen or even a few years, the power of Emperor Martial City will far surpass us. ”

"That master originally wanted us to enter the court as officials?"

"Not for officials, but for generals! To be honest, over the years, Emperor Wu City has completely infiltrated Emperor Xuyang's personal soldiers by virtue of the relationship between Shangguan Ba and Emperor Xuyang. However, the Zhengyang Dynasty military, especially the border army in the north, was basically in the hands of these nobles in the north. Although the relationship between Xungui and Emperor Wu City is not like fire and water, it is also a state of hostility. If we want to compete with Emperor Wu City, then helping Xungui is our best choice. ”

After a pause, Wei Chi Xizhong sighed and said:

Although the teacher planned to do so, the old puppets of the Senate did not agree to it. Especially Zhai Xuanjing, an old guy, also scolded him as a teacher, saying that he asked his disciples to be cannon fodder. Liu Xin, tell me, is the teacher such a person? ”

Liu Xin sighed in his heart, and sure enough, it was as he thought, which also solved the first doubt in his heart. The Senate was in such a hurry to disperse everyone, not at all the high-sounding reasons that Zhai Lao said, but to avoid the poisonous hands of the master.

The Holy Sect Sect Master has already shown signs of "fainting" within the Holy Sect over the years, and the decisions he has made are no longer wise, causing the Holy Sect to gradually weaken. Just like this year's Great Dynasty Meeting, there are thirty percent fewer sects than in previous years, although Emperor Wu City also came, but people with a discerning eye know that the thirty percent of the sects have become attached to Emperor Wu City, and they already disdain to come to the Great Dynasty Meeting of the Holy Sect.

In recent years, the elders have become more and more resistant to Yu Chi Xizhong, especially Zhai Xuanjing, who once directly scolded Yu Chi Xizhong in public for doing things only for himself, not for the Holy Sect, and for being selfish.

Every time Liu Xin hears these rumors, he will deliberately ignore them, as if he didn't hear them, after all, he is not ashamed of His Holiness.

But in fact, Liu Xin also has a scale in his heart, and he has his own judgment.

Over the years, several patriarchs hoped that the Holy Sect would recruit a wide range of disciples and expand the power of the secret investigation team. However, Wei Chi Xizhong did the opposite, not only reducing the number of inner disciples, but also sending most of the Holy Sect's power to the Northern Barbarians and the West outside the Zhengyang Empire, making the Holy Sect's strength extremely weak.

This is an extremely strange situation in the process of the development of forces, not only do they not vigorously develop, but they spontaneously reduce their own strength.

However, the name of the Holy Sect Master's wisdom and resourcefulness has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, whether it is inside or outside the sect, they all think that this is the arrangement of the Holy Sect Master, but others can't see through the intentions.

But after nearly twenty years, the patriarchs within the Holy Sect have all discovered the behavior of the Holy Sect Master, and they are only taking the initiative to reduce their own strength, and there is no other arrangement at all. Thus began the action of the patriarchs to resist the suzerain.

"Of course, the master is not that kind of person, but the military nobles of the national dynasty are all in a group to keep warm, even if they borrow our strength in order to deal with the Martial Emperor City, but no matter what, in the end, our ending will not be too good. We don't even have the friendship between Shangguan Ba and the emperor as a bargaining chip. ”

Yu Chi Xizhong was stunned, and glanced at his disciple hatefully:

"You kid even helped those old horsemen speak, don't you help your master now!"

Seeing that the master was angry, Liu Xin hurriedly said:

"Don't be angry, master, I just think your plan was too hasty. It's like doing business, even if we want to cooperate with the nobles, they have to come to us. Otherwise, our chips will be too cheap and will be despised! ”

"How can the teacher not know this, but as the old guy Zhai Xuanjing said, this country is going downhill, and if we can't do something, the only thing waiting for us is to perish. In the past, we were the leaders of the martial arts, so naturally there were other ways to go, but now Emperor Wu City is blocking in front of us, forcing us to live and die with the Zhengyang Dynasty. ”

"That being the case, master! You must not have given up your plan yet, the other brothers and sisters were all scattered by the patriarchs, only I stayed, I guess you have some arrangements for me! ”

"You kid is still smart, I don't know how much better than Yan Chun's idiot!" Yu Chi Xizhong scolded Yan Chun, but Liu Xin knew that every time the master praised someone, he would step on one of them. It is estimated that in front of Senior Brother Yan Chun, he will say that he is a fool.

"Liu Xin, if you are the only bargaining chip for the teacher, you will definitely not be able to put it in Xungui. But the teacher didn't want to give up, so he decided to put you in the pro-army. Only where there are contradictions is where we can focus on it. Just like the contradiction between Lao Xungui and the gang of people in Martial Emperor City, although the pro-army is controlled by a large number of disciples of Martial Emperor City, there are also contradictions between the old pro-army and them. ”

"Master wants me to gain control of Jinyiwei? I'm afraid it's not easy! "Liu Xin actually doesn't want to be a brocade guard, brocade is not just a dye vat, but also a dye vat that uses blood as a pigment. Instead of going to Jinyiwei, he might as well join the border army.

"This is the way to retreat, on the side of the border army, if you are alone, there are too few! Those old horsemen, what a hateful! Yu Chi Xizhong let out a long sigh, and finally couldn't help but scold angrily.

"In this case, the disciple must obey the master's orders!" Liu Xin said respectfully.

So far, the third question has actually been answered, and as for the second question, since the elders are trying to let the brothers and sisters go out to avoid trouble, there will definitely be no problem. As for the fact that it is normal to let himself not find them, in order to prevent the master from finding them, it is naturally impossible for him, as a personal disciple, to know.

But Senior Brother Yan Chun's role in this is a little weird, the master didn't have much to say to Senior Brother Yan Chun, and Senior Brother Yan Chun was obviously helping the elders to do this.

Before leaving, Wei Chi Xizhong handed Liu Xin a booklet and said, "Your fourth senior brother is back." ”

Liu Xin was pleasantly surprised: "He's back!" Where is he, I'll go find him tomorrow! ”

From childhood to adulthood, the person who has the best relationship with Liu Xin is the fourth senior brother Sun Long. When he went up the mountain, the current disciples of the Holy Sect were Sun Long's generation. Sun Long is ten years older than Liu Xin and has taken care of Liu Xin since he was a child.

Later, the Holy Sect recruited disciples of the Dizi generation, and Liu Xin became the senior brother of the Dizi generation. Sun Long almost taught Liu Xin how to be a qualified senior brother.

It can be said that Sun Long is like Liu Xin's eldest brother.

It's just that Liu Li has always disliked Sun Long, the two are like enemies, and they will pinch when they meet.

Later, Sun Long went down the mountain to practice, and he walked for several years.

Seeing Liu Xin's expectant face, Yu Chi Xizhong shook his head with a smile: "The fourth child has such a character, after he came back, he went to find the fifth child and showed off what you wrote with that kid from the evil sect, if not, I'm afraid the fourth child will have to cross the mountain gate three times without entering!"

He knew it was written by your boy, and he said he complimented you a lot. The fifth said that the fourth child might be afraid of being scolded by me, so he ran away after drinking with him. I left you something before leaving, saying it would be useful to you.

The fourth bastard boy is like water that has been spilled, and he can't get it back! ”

After Yu Chi Xizhong left the things that Sun Long had brought to Liu Xin, he left with a long sigh.

Liu Xin looked disappointed and opened what Sun Long gave him.

The package opened, and inside was a manuscript with the words on the cover: Three advanced uses of sword fighting and tips.

"It's really the style of the fourth senior brother!" A smile appeared on Liu Xin's face, opened the book, and looked at it carefully.

Tianyun Peak, in front of the sect master's small building

"Fourth, I know you haven't left yet, come out." Sect Master Chi Xizhong had short hair, he couldn't help but touch his head, and smiled bitterly because he couldn't feel the feeling of the mountain breeze blowing and long hair fluttering, but in summer, long hair was really hot.

Speaking of which, this habit still comes from the fourth child, who has always secretly shaved his hair since he was a child, and he is unwilling to grow his hair. Even if Wei Chi Xizhong received the eight-character proverb of his parents with his body, every time he was hung up and beaten, he couldn't change it.

After a long time, Wei Chi Xizhong himself began to care less about his hair.

The mountain wind was howling, carrying the coolness of the mountain top, in fact, the location of the Holy Sect was not too hot even in the middle of summer.

After waiting for a moment, a figure fell, and he should have been eavesdropping on the roof of the sect master's small building just now.

Seeing that Wei Chi Xizhong stood still for a long time, Sun Long was sure that his master was not bombing him, but really knew his whereabouts.

Yu Chi Xizhong turned around, and when he first looked at Sun Long, he was still angry, but when he saw Sun Long's emaciated and wheat-colored face, all the emotions in his heart disappeared, but in order to save his respect, he just said lightly:

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but my cultivation has not fallen."

Sun Long was less than ten steps away from Wei Chi Xizhong, his eyes were full of tenderness at first, and then recovered the next moment, with a cynical look, he swallowed the two words in his mouth back into his mouth, and then said:

"Disciple Sun Long, I've seen the master!"

Looking at Sun Long, who had bowed to the end, Yu Chi Xizhong's throat moved slightly, and he sighed silently.

Sun Long got up and looked at Wei Chi Xizhong with a smile: "The disciple has not only fallen into cultivation, but now he has entered the middle grade. According to what you said before, my talent is good! ”

The abruptness on Wei Chi Xizhong's face disappeared the moment Sun Long got up, he nodded, and said with relief: "Your talent is not below your senior brothers, and it seems that you have not fallen behind in cultivation in these years of training, and now your achievements are above nine out of nine people in the rivers and lakes." ”

Sun Long smiled and asked, "Then do I have the qualifications to have that?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the relief on Wei Chi Xizhong's face suddenly dissipated, and in an instant, it was like a different person, his eyes suddenly became cold, and he said silently: "I said it!" When the time comes, I'll naturally give you that. Unless one day you have the peak combat power of Dacheng, you can only wait until that time! ”

The smile on Sun Long's face froze slightly, and then the smile became even worse, and said, "Okay, master, I'm joking with you, and I also think it's not a good thing that I have that thing too early." But if you are at the peak of Dacheng, they haven't reached the senior brother yet, right? ”

It took a moment for Wei Chi Xizhong to calm down, his face was much gentler, but the smile had disappeared, and he had great psychological fluctuations in Sun Long's words before.

"The boss has already touched that realm, but there is still a moat between touching and taking that step. Anyway, you've been away for so long, do you remember the ghost? ”

When Sun Long heard this ancient name, he thought for a while and nodded, "Isn't this the disciple of the Demon Venerable of the Evil Sect, the only disciple." Defeated at the hands of the elder brother that year. ”

Sun Long didn't care too much about the defeat of the senior brother's subordinates, so his memory was a little blurry.

Yu Chi Xizhong sighed: "Yes, when the boss was like you, he was already the leader of the younger generation in the rivers and lakes. At that time, the ghost demon had only been under the Demon Venerable for ten years, but he could still survive a hundred moves under the boss. At that time, I thought that he would have extraordinary achievements in the future, and maybe he would be the successor of the Demon Venerable. ”

Sun Long said strangely: "Demon Venerable doesn't have a son, the evil family is all inherited by the son of the father." ”

Yu Chi Xizhong set his eyes in front of Sun Long, and said meaningfully: "There is no son inheriting his father's business, and the evil sect has always been inhabited by capable people, but the young masters of the evil sect in the past generations are all extremely talented people, and with the inclination of resources, it is not too difficult to suppress other disciples of the same sect." ”

Sun Long heard something unusual from Wei Chi Xizhong's words, so he listened with bated breath.

Yu Chi Xizhong continued: "The talent of this generation of the young master of the evil sect is naturally good, but unfortunately, the talent of the ghost is even more terrifying! ”

After a pause, Yu Chi Xizhong said: "The ghost demon touched a higher realm eleven years ago, and the secret investigation team has lost the trace of the ghost in the past two years, as if the world has evaporated!" ”

Sun Long was shocked in his heart, and said in shock: "Master, what do you mean..."

Yu Chi Xizhong said: "I estimate that he is in retreat, and when he comes out, it is very likely that there will be another grandmaster in this world!" ”

Sun Long was speechless for a while, and gradually, the jealousy in his eyes rose rapidly.

Spectre

Sun Long chewed on this name carefully in his heart, this person is likely to be his great enemy in this life!

A strong sense of crisis wrapped Sun Long, and the cold wind on Tianyun Peak seemed to blow into his heart, cold and frozen!

The next day, Yan Chun came to Liu Xin's small building, gave him a name and address, turned around and left, without saying a word, and Liu Xin didn't bother to ask.

It is true that his master is a little irrational in doing things, this is Liu Xin's true view in his heart, but after all, the master is a master, and he has the grace of nurturing and educating him, so the master's decision-making will definitely be completed by him if he needs to complete it. As for his own ideals, it doesn't matter if it's late.

In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Xin embarked on the road to the imperial capital. Starting from Tianyun Peak, it will take at least half a month to reach the imperial capital. Of course, if you hurry up, you can get there in ten days.

But Liu Xin was not in a hurry, so he swayed leisurely, carrying a simple burden, a red-maned horse, one person and one riding the Northern God Capital, and took office!
