The morning rooster first crows, the crows quarrel, and the one does not make trouble with the red dust.

Fearless Peak was noisy early in the morning, and when autumn and spring came, the students of Lingxi felt that they had gotten up very early.

"Did you hear that? This afternoon, Senior Brother Zhao is going to fight with Senior Brother Xia in the martial arts arena!"

"How to fight, then I have to take a look!"

"Is it Senior Brother Xia Tenglong?"

The questioning student ate Fu Donglai's chestnut on the head, and Fu Donglai said triumphantly: "Which other Senior Brother Zhao can it be?" Of course, it is Senior Brother Zhao Zishi!"

"Oh! it turned out to be him!"

The student was not annoyed after taking a slap, and touched his head and smiled stupidly.

"Let's go, let's take a look! This must be a battle ...... the dragon."

"I heard that Senior Brother Xia is about to reach the realm of Qi refining, Uncle Jing said that Senior Brother Xia is the first student of the Lingxi Sect to practice the Qi of Body Protecting Qi in the Qi Refining Realm, which is amazing. ”

"Brother Fu, who do you think will win if the two of them fight?"

The same obscene-looking student interjected: "Of course it's Senior Brother Xia! You didn't see that Senior Brother Zhao has been avoiding a fight for the past two years, he must have been scared...... Ouch, who the kicked me!"

Fu Dong came up and kicked it, and reprimanded: "Senior Brother Zhao's name, what is that called, what is it called, can you withstand Senior Brother Zhao's knife, and you are still talking cool here......

While laughing and playing, more than a dozen students went down to Fearless Peak.

Lingxi Valley, martial arts arena.

Lingxi Valley hasn't been so lively for a long time, the last time Xia Tenglong and Lin Shuiyao had an appointment at night, it didn't alarm anyone, and no one knew if Xia Tenglong won or Lin Shuiyao was slightly better.

However, in order to have a fight with Zhao Yuan, Xia Tenglong really couldn't use the means to deal with Lin Shuiyao - this guy is too treacherous, either under the pretext of running diarrhea or saying that he is not in a good state.

Finally caught this kid two days ago, Xia Tenglong was afraid that Zhao Qian would regret it, so he directly announced it to the world, no, to the entire Lingxi Academy - if you still avoid the war on the premise that the entire Lingxi Academy knows, then you can't say it, right?

The noon sun shines through the Lingxi Valley, shining warmly on Xia Tenglong.

Xia Tenglong had been waiting for Zhao Jian in the martial arts arena for half an hour.

Why hasn't Zhao come yet?

"Why hasn't Senior Brother Zhao come yet?"

"He's not going to run away again, is he?"

"Or did you oversleep?"

Listening to everyone's words and me, Xia Tenglong couldn't help it even if his temperament was calm, and beckoned the two students to go to Zhao Yuan's stone room to call someone.

A moment later, a student rushed down from Fearless Peak in a hurry.

"Senior Brother Xia!

The student gasped for breath and held a thin piece of paper in his hand.

Xia Tenglong frowned and said, "What about Zhao Yuan?"

......

A quarter of an hour ago, two students knocked on the door of Zhao Yuan's stone room, but no one opened it for a long time, and the two pushed hard and found that the stone room was not locked at all.

The eyes of the two widened, except for two tables and a bed, where was there a shadow of Zhao Yuan?

......

"Senior Brother Zhao is not in the stone room, and only this letter is left on his desk. ”

"Bring it!"

Xia Tenglong took the envelope with a gloomy face, only to see a line of small words written crookedly on the cover: "Boy Zhao Zhi said goodbye." Brother Xia Tenglong personally opened. ”

After opening it, Xia Tenglong glanced at it, his eyes changed color, his eyes widened, and his internal organs were about to explode, crumpling the entire envelope into a ball and crushing it.

"Vertical son Zhao Jiao! An dares to bully me like this!"

"Ann dares to deceive me like this!"

Xia Tenglong's anger was like a flood that filled the river trough, suddenly burst open the embankment, roared, and poured inexorably into the entire Lingxi Valley, reverberating endlessly, shaking the maple forest.

Step by step, Xia Tenglong didn't care about the hundreds of students in the stands, and walked away.

Silent.

What's going on?

Everyone hurriedly ran to the martial arts arena, picking up the shredded envelope that was torn by Xia Tenglong, and they didn't know what was on it that made Senior Brother Xia so atmospheric.

"This ...... What the hell is going on?"

"What is written in Senior Brother Zhao's letter?"

"I'm coming! I'll go back to my roots!"

A student pinched the magic trick in his hand, and suddenly the fragments that fell to the ground flew up one after another and formed their original appearance.

I saw a few lines written crookedly on the envelope: "Two years ago, Brother Tenglong asked the younger brother to fight, the younger brother's cultivation is still shallow, how dare he compete with Brother Xia? Brother Xia's friendship, the younger brother Zhao is really ashamed, three days ago, you and I made an appointment to fight, and the younger brother really couldn't shirk it. But there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good fortune and misfortune, yesterday the little brother suddenly ran out of the stomach, the body was unwell, the fighting method naturally could not go all out, presumably Brother Xia would not be comfortable in his heart when he beat the little brother......"

Fu Donglai covered his face in shame, he didn't expect Zhao Zhi to really run away.

As I continued to watch, all the students' faces turned green.

"Zhao Zhifei doesn't want to fight, but he can't fight, in order to satisfy Brother Xia's desire to fight, I want to break my head, I heard that there is a lang in the south of Qizhou Jishui, which can solve all kinds of diseases......"

"In order to solve the hidden disease of running diarrhea, the younger brother set off early this morning, and please don't chase after Brother Xia, it was noon when Brother Xia saw this letter, and the younger brother had already gone away, please forgive me. ”

"The little brother's words come from the bottom of his heart, and he doesn't know what he says......"

The students finally understood why Xia Tenglong was so angry, they had never seen such shamelessness.

Fu Donglai couldn't cry or laugh, he had diarrhea, and it was a shame that you Zhao Qian could come up with such a ridiculous reason.

is brilliant, as a Lingxi talent, how can his character be so flattering......

——

"Don't ask me where I'm from, my hometown is far away, why wandering, wandering far away, wandering ......"

After a rare thunderstorm, the country roads become unusually soft, and when you step on them, you leave muddy marks on the ground. In the afternoon, I breathed in the refreshing air, like a cool breeze blowing.

There is no winter in Qizhou.

In the twelve continents of China, except for Liaozhou and Xiliang, there is no cold winter in other regions, and only the monks of Liaozhou and the barbarian cultivators of the Rakshasa Kingdom will wear thick animal skin jackets - the Rakshasa is too cold.

Just after autumn in Wenyang Province, the weather has already warmed up, and only a rain from time to time can wash away the heat in the air.

The verdant fields are like green sails, integrating the scenery of the mountains and wilderness into the painting, and the light mist is swirling with cooking smoke, and the fog covers the Lingxi Fantasy Realm......

Twenty miles further south, you will completely go out of the realm of the Lingxi Sect, and from here, you will no longer see the magnificent three hundred miles of Lingxi.

"Ahh

Zhao Zhen, the culprit of diarrhea, raised his head and sneezed and touched his nose.

"It must be Xia Tenglong's guy scolding me...... Hey. ”

Zhao Qian snickered in his heart, and couldn't wait to see Xia Tenglong's thunderous expression—it was terrible that this belligerent martial madman was angry.

This is the first time that Zhao Qian has gone far since he entered the Lingxi faction.

Since the release of the task list, there have been Lingxi students who have taken on tasks one after another, and Zhao Nao is no exception.

Zhao Cheng took over not the battle hall task, nor the auditorium task, but the secret hall task that the students avoided.

Seven hundred years ago, the Lingxi Sect had four halls, a hall of weapons, an auditorium, a torture hall, and a war hall, and there was no secret hall. It wasn't until the former sect leader Liang Shi set up a secret hall and combined the auditorium and the torture hall into one that the pattern of four halls of separate courts was gradually formed.

In the past, the strength of the various halls of the Lingxi Sect was very uneven, especially the auditorium, which was in name only, and the disciples of the auditorium could only do some boring chores to welcome guests. The forces of the War Hall and the Instrument Hall are too strong, although the War Hall has few people, all of them are war cultivators; the number of disciples of the Instrument Hall is large, and they come into contact with rare materials every day, which attracts a group of inner disciples to the Great Hall.

Therefore, Liang Shi drastically integrated the torture hall and the auditorium, and the new auditorium after the merger integrates criminal law, legal decrees, etiquette, and foreign affairs. As a result, the auditorium was finally able to be on par with the battle hall, and even the fifth hall was a branch derived from the auditorium.

The secret hall is the most mysterious hall of the Lingxi Sect.

Four hundred years ago, Liang Shi set up the secret hall, the original intention was to carry out the task of infiltration, arrest, and find out information, but as a result, the scope of the secret hall became larger and larger, and gradually developed into a spy agency to monitor the entire territory of Wenyang Prefecture. Even the disciples of the secret hall were placed at the entrances of the halls within the Lingxi Sect, which made people panic for a while.

Liang Shi was well aware of the energy of the secret hall, so he firmly held the entire secret hall in his hands, and the secret hall only had a hall master and no deputy hall master, and the sect master's cronies served as it. Although the cultivation of the hall master is not necessarily the highest, his loyalty to the sect master of the Lingxi Sect is unparalleled.

Later, Cheng Yiran kept his way, and in Chen Wuyu's generation, the secret hall developed to the peak, and the hall master Du Xiu was completely Chen Wuyu's puppet, and I heard that even the three souls of his life were in Chen Wuyu's hands. And the great purge of the Lingxi faction decades ago was initiated by Chen Wuyu, mainly aimed at the transfer of power in the secret hall, so the previous master of the secret hall was left without bones in the party struggle......

The secret hall is a double-edged sword, and if you are not careful, you will hurt your body, so Chen Wuyu Qingfeng is hidden, and the disciples of the secret hall only target the other factions, and delegate the task of restraining the disciples of this sect to the auditorium, which makes the Lingxi faction ask for the shortcomings of the secret hall.

The battle hall missions mostly involve fighting, and the auditorium missions mostly involve foreign affairs chores. The mission of the secret hall is different, most of them are tasks to find out information and investigate the enemy's situation, and they often travel hundreds of miles, and few students will take on such tasks.

But Zhao Wei is not simply to complete the task of Lingxi students, he only needs to deal with the requirements of Lingxi students' annual thunderous tasks.

Zhao Cheng had more important things to do, this matter had been haunting him for four years, related to his life experience in this life, the survival of his family, and Uncle Xia's deathbed entrustment......

Originally, Zhao Xuan didn't want to take on the task of the secret hall, but after picking up the task list of Lingxi students, there was only one task to investigate the missing people in the mountain village in the south of Wenyang Mansion.

Wenyang Mansion is long from east to west and narrow from north to south, spanning thousands of miles from east to west, and there are four or five thousand miles of land boundary from north to south.

However, many redundant tasks that span too far are disdainful of the inner disciples, so they can only instruct the surrounding subordinate factions to solve them on their own, or simply put them on the task list and let the students mix up their merits.
