It is tens of thousands of miles away from Yanguan Town, and Jinchaizhou in the southwest of the world.

Between thousands of rivers and mountains, there is a huge lake covering an area of more than thousands of miles on the earth, there are countless strange peaks around this big lake, so that this place looks like a ingenious mountain basin, it is not easy for outsiders to want to come in, the future twists and turns may not be able to find the entrance, but the insiders want to go out, just a flat boat, down the river, the apes on both sides of the river can't stop, the light boat with the wind ten thousand mountains! Duandi is a good place to open the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack!

Looking up from the shore of the lake, the whole big lake on the opposite side is not visible as far as the eye can see, the clouds are steaming, the cranes are circling, it is the glorious weather of the blessed land of the immortals, and in the center of this big lake, there is a towering single peak that rises alone and rises from the ground pierces the lake and soars straight into the sky, the root of the single peak occupies hundreds of miles in a circle, looking at it from afar, the elm and green willows on the mountain, the green cypress and green pine, full of vitality!

There is a magnificent and majestic white jade gatehouse on the mountainside of this mountain, there is a plaque hanging horizontally under the eaves of the corridor at the highest place, the three big characters of "Shuixiu Lake" are written on it, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, the attitude is public, and it is very rich in the spirit of the fairy family!

This lake has the same name as the immortal family that settled here, called Shuixiu Lake, and this mountain is called Lingxiu Peak on the upper floor, which is the location of the sect of Shuixiu Lake on the mountain that ranks very high among the immortals in the rivers and lakes of Jinchaizhou!

From the foot of the Lingxiu Peak Mountain, start to climb step by step, pass through the luxurious mountain gate at the mountainside of the Lingxiu Peak, and climb to the top of the mountain all the way with the mountain spiraling, you can see the ancestral hall of the Xianjia family that has been standing for thousands of years in Shuixiu Lake, carved beams and paintings, golden and brilliant, beads surrounded by greenery, magnificent!

Most of the disciples under Shuixiu Lake practice diligently, and the most important and ambitious goal in their lives is to be able to have their place in the golden ancestral hall on the top of the mountain.

In the place of Yanguan Town, Liguanzhou, far in the northwest, maybe a five-grade sect is not enough to eat at the table, but in other places within Jiuzhou except for the Middle Earth Divine Continent, this is already an unattainable god for ordinary people in their lifetime.

At this time, Liguanzhou, which is thousands of miles away in the northwest across the mountains and seas, has entered the middle of the night, but the southwest Jinchaizhou has reached the daylight and the sun is three poles in the daylight!

Today's sunshine is just right, Shuixiu Lake is peaceful, the sect leader Ke Wanting is leading a group of elders in the door, in the ancestral hall on the top of the main peak, the most important content is to discuss how to expand the territory of the immortal family occupied by Shuixiu Lake in the next step, double or even more scope, so that in the future, the disciples can go out at will and be a god under the mountain casually.

In today's Shuixiu Lake, the sect master and his wife have both stepped into the immortal realm, and the momentum is flourishing, plus more than ten years ago, they had blatantly snatched a piece of meat from the hands of the Yuanjia Sword Sect, and now they have not seen any action on the side of Longchi Continent in the northeast, and the evaluation of Shuixiu Lake on the rivers and lakes of Jinchaizhou has reached a higher level!

Although that piece of meat is not a piece of fat that is worth much, it is okay to say that it is tasteless to eat and a pity to abandon the chicken ribs, but no matter how worthless that chicken ribs are, they were also snatched from the Yuanjia Sword Sect, one of the four great sword sects! It doesn't matter if you make money or not, just the glamorous hall earned back on the face is enough to make this case raise its eyebrows and raise its spirit!

Taking advantage of this shareholder wind, the people of Shuixiu Lake have all been extremely high-spirited in recent years, from the respected elders of the Ancestor Hall to the new outer disciples who have just started, all of them are shouting to let Shuixiu Lake go to the next level, and it is better if it can finally be like the Yuanjia Sword Sect that monopolizes the top of the Dragon Chi Continent! As long as they can hold the land of the half-continent of Jinchai Continent in their hands, and they don't care what sword sect he is, what can you do with Lao Tzu?

Ke Wanting, the great monk of the Immortal Realm who is now guarding at home in Shuixiu Lake, and who is also the master of a sect, is sitting on the first chair under the ancestral tablet in the ancestral hall at this time, with a calm face, strategizing, and methodically arranging with the elders present, how should the disciples expand outward step by step, how to encroach on the territory of other immortal families around, and how to annex other mountaintop immortal sects that are not qualified to rank in the immortal class step by step!

The four elders who sat below the position of the sect master, each leaned slightly on the back of the chair behind him, sat upright, and listened carefully to the things explained by the head of the sect master, if there was something related to the line they were responsible for, they listened carefully, and then arranged for the other elders under their hands who were responsible for specific matters, and those who had nothing to do with themselves sat upright, their eyes slightly closed, and the old god was there, not saying a word.

As he was about to say that, he saw a respectful figure coming in from outside the door, regardless of the proceedings in the hall, tiptoeing around from one side to the side, all the way straight to the side of the sect master, and then bent down lightly and whispered a few words in the sect master's ear.

This person is the chief disciple of the Ke family, the main vein of Shuixiu Lake, who handles the daily chores around the sect master on weekdays, ensuring that the Ke sect master, who cares about the general trend of the sect, does not need to worry about some trivial things.

After listening to the disciple's report, the sect master frowned slightly, and then turned his head and gave a look to the sect leader who was sitting on the side of his hand, signaling them to continue their deliberations.

On the shore of Shuixiu Lake, the young sect master Ke Yuzhen only took the old woman who had always lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head at this time, and the two of them had already returned to their mountain gate from the distant Liguan Continent.

As soon as the rich young man arrived at the lakeside, he sat on a raised embankment on the shore, his soul was lost, his face was pale, and the old woman who followed him was not much better, although he was not injured, but his face was only whiter than that of the young sect master, making her old face, which was not very pleasing, look even more terrifying.

As soon as Sect Master Ke Wanting appeared, he saw such a sluggish scene, so a pair of thick eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle deeper, he gently reached out and patted the shoulder of Ke Yuzhen, who had not yet come back to his senses, and asked in an uncertain tone: "Are you back?" What about your mother? ”

This simple question, which fell on the heart of the rich young man at this time, was like a sound of heaven and a heavy hammer, which made his face pale, and he turned his head to look at his father who had not seen him for many days with tears in his eyes, his throat choked, and he couldn't say a word.

Ke Wanting couldn't help but feel a slight sinking in his heart when he saw his son behaving like this, his face turned cold, he looked at the old woman who was standing silently on the side, and said gloomily: "Mama Xin, you come on." ”

The old woman's body trembled imperceptibly when she heard this, and finally she gritted her teeth, and after repeating her words, she began to recount in detail everything that had happened along the way, and her voice was low and trembling slightly.

The Sect Master of Shuixiu Lake turned slightly sideways, his hands behind his back to face the big lake, the tall single peak in the center of the lake was in sight, looming, he stood on the shore and listened quietly, until the old woman finished speaking in a heavy tone, he did not make a sound.

After Mama Xin finished talking about the whole process, she didn't speak again, and the scene fell silent again, and a long time passed, until Ke Yuzhen finally barely suppressed the sadness in her heart, and when she raised her head to look at her father, Ke Wanting still stood there motionless, just one of the hands behind him, two of which were slightly rubbed, as if to explain what he was thinking.

Ke Yuzhen slowly stood up from the embankment stone and took a few steps forward, standing side by side with his father.

It wasn't until this moment that Ke Wanting finally asked the first question, and his tone was calm and he couldn't hear any emotion: "Yuzhen, who do you think the sword cultivator who intercepted and killed you will be?" ”

The rich young man standing on the side with red eyes heard this question, and was slightly silent, in fact, this was already a problem he had been thinking about all the way, but there were always many things that didn't seem to be reasonable and couldn't make sense, so after thinking about it for a while, he heard his slightly hoarse voice say in a low voice: "Father, my son has been thinking about this problem all the way, and he is also a little suspicious of the target, but he always feels that some things are not very reasonable and don't make sense..."

Sect Master Ke didn't say anything when he heard this, but continued to follow in a flat voice: "Tell me who you suspect, and why doesn't it make sense?" ”

Hearing this, the rich young man nodded, and said solemnly: "At the beginning, there were only three people I suspected, that Li Yuyao from the Xihe Sword Sect, as well as Zhu Zhen of the Zhu clan and Chu Yuanxiao, who was a mud-legged man. ”

Speaking of this, the young man looked back at his father, and saw that he was still staring at the lake with a calm face without saying a word, so he continued: "When I was in Yanguan Town, that Night Rain Sword Immortal personally dealt with my mother, and it was the Confucian sage who came forward to stop her, and later when we arrived at the Dizhou boundary and were intercepted, I deliberately mentioned that the Xihe Sword Sect went to test the ambushed sword cultivator, but he didn't seem to have any special reaction, and it was like... Deliberately didn't understand my temptation, I kept thinking later, if it was the Xihe Sword Sect to make a move, there shouldn't be such a big effort, even if it was because of the sage in the town who blocked it, the Night Rain Sword Immortal couldn't do it on the spot, but it didn't have to wait until the Dizhou Realm to do it, this is not the style of any of the four major sword sects at all..."

Sect Master Ke listened to the young man's narration, and his movements did not change in any way, but he just said "continue" lightly, and began to wait for his next step.

Young Sect Master Ke Yuzhen paused slightly, and then continued: "As for that Zhu Zhen, although there has been a falling out between the two of us, since the Zhu clan has already annoyed the Yuanjia Sword Sect, it shouldn't be stupid enough to offend us again to the point of not dying, their purpose has always been very simple, that is, they want to climb the cloud to break away from Yanguan Town, and the fact that they have become mortal enemies with us is not directly related to their goal, it is not helpful, but has obvious disadvantages, So I don't think it's necessary for Zhu to have this motive. ”

"As for that mud leg, I once suspected that there was someone behind him, but when my mother tried to kill him, it was the Night Rain Sword Immortal who shot first, so now I wonder if my original suspicion was wrong? If there is really someone behind him, then at the foot of the Dragon's Back Mountain, that person is the real master who is famous, maybe the saint who appeared in person may not be able to stop him, so why bother to put it outside Liangzhou? Even if that person may not be his mother's opponent at that time, he shouldn't let that mud leg be beaten to death, at least he should show his side. ”

After listening to his son's analysis, Ke Wanting didn't speak for a long time, and the index finger and thumb of one hand behind his back had been gently twisting since before, and it didn't stop, until Ke Yuzhen, who was standing aside, couldn't help but speak out, only to hear the middle-aged sect master with a calm face say slowly: "I basically agree with your analysis of the Xihe Sword Sect and the Zhu Clan, although your logic is not thorough, but there is a sentence that you are right, that is, these two families are not like this, and they are not sufficient enough in terms of motivation, as for the orphan." …”

When talking about the poor young man, Ke Wanting paused obviously, and at the same time his eyes narrowed slightly, and when he spoke again, the topic changed inexplicably, and said slowly: "The place where the sword cultivation was set up happened to be chosen when you just came out of Liang and entered the realm of Dizhou, which will make people feel as if he was deliberately waiting for you to leave Liangzhou, but his intentions are so obvious and clumsy, which in turn will make people think that he is doing the opposite and blaming some people in Liangzhou... So do you think we should be suspicious of those people in Liangzhou, or shouldn't? ”

Ke Yuzhen frowned when he heard this, he faintly felt that his brain didn't seem to be enough, so he had to go around so much?

"Second..."Ke Wanting looked at his son's slightly frowning brows, and didn't give him much time to think, and continued: "It's the orphan you mentioned, if there is really someone behind him, in fact, he doesn't necessarily need to appear at the first time, because in that place in Yanguan Town, with those few town guarding saints, it is almost impossible to kill a person on the bright side, because that place can be stopped from the long river of time at any time, and this matter is absolutely impossible anywhere else in Jiuzhou, Even the top ones in the world can't do it, but only within the boundaries of a radius of dozens of miles, although they still can't do it, but this is already the only ability and achievement in the whole world, for the few who set up this experiment at the beginning, to a large extent, they have been considered successful. ”

"So what do you mean, father..."

Since a long time ago, Ke Yuzhen's heart has actually been a little afraid of his sect master father, because he always makes you feel that one thing can be very simple, or it can be very simple, this ability only needs him to do it in a few simple words, and he will never explain everything to you thoroughly like his mother, many times it is to tell you a paragraph of plausible, you need to think carefully many times before it is possible to understand it, and then the rest is all up to you to experience... He always seemed to be both awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring.

Ke Wanting didn't know what Ke Yuzhen was thinking, he just was silent, and then looked at the rich young man who was still stunned, and said in a deep voice: "So from today on, you have a task that must be ranked first at all times, that is, you must stare at the orphan you met in Liangzhou, you must know all his every move, among which you feel that you need it, you have to come and tell me." ”

Ke Yuzhen listened to his father's arrangement, his heart was stunned, and then nodded respectfully and said yes.

Ke Wanting nodded slightly, and said, "As for the other two, you don't need to treat that orphan like you, but you also have to pay attention to one or two." ”

"Yes!" Hearing this, Ke Yuzhen nodded again.

Ke Wanting finally nodded, then raised his hand and touched the top of his son's head, looked at the tall peak in the center of the lake again, and said softly: "From today onwards, the Father's Association announced that your mother's trip has been a great opportunity to benefit from cultivation, so she has returned to the mountain to retreat, striving to break through the Ten Realms and asked, you must remember not to talk to anyone about today's events again, and everyone else who knows about this matter must also be shut up, understand?" ”

When the rich young man suddenly heard this, his body trembled slightly involuntarily, and he turned his head to look at his father with some difficulty, but he didn't see any change in his expression, and only heard a simple order: "Go back to the sect if you have nothing to do, and remember to take care of your mother's family more in the future, so as not to be suspicious of others." ”

……

After a while, there was no one on this lakeside of Shuixiu Lake except the rich and noble boy, his sect master father had left, and the old woman had disappeared, leaving only this son of the immortal family who had been arrogant and domineering in Yanguan Town, squatting on the embankment stone a little lonely.

Ke Yuzhen looked at the sparkling lake and was stunned, so from now on, he will only be sad in the entire Shuixiu Lake? So the limerick poem that spread throughout Jinchai Continent back then... Is it actually fake?
