In the evening, in the middle hall of King Xian's Mansion, Luo Tianjin sat upright, leaning slightly towards the three-pronged candlestick on the side, frowning slightly, carefully looking at the "Shocking Wind and Rain Map" presented by Liu Xunyi, and did not make a sound for a long time.

Beside him sat a graceful and luxurious woman, although she was over forty years old, she still had charm, especially those beautiful eyes, her pupils were sheared, sparkling, and seemed to contain an indescribable variety of styles.

These eyes Liu Xunyi had seen on Luo Ningyu's face, and they were exactly the same, but Luo Ningyu's eyes were more simple and clear, which was much inferior to this woman.

The woman is Luo Ningyu's mother-in-law, the pearl of the head of Wudang, the head of Qingfeng Dao, and Luo Tianjin's wife, Ling Xiaoxiao.

Twenty years ago, Ling Xiaoxiao was also a famous beauty, and people at that time called her "peerless and beautiful". Although there is a bit of sycophancy to Qingfeng Dao, it also confirms Ling Xiaoxiao's extraordinary beauty and temperament from the side.

There are two people sitting on the left hand side of the hall, one of whom is Liu Xunyi's old friend, one of the seven heroes of the Xianwang Mansion, Deng Changchuan.

The other was a thin man of unremarkable appearance, in his fifties, with a broad and full forehead in stark contrast to the thin and wrinkled chin, and the shape of the head was like an inverted hat, which was very funny. He was no more than five feet tall, skinny, and even in a thick winter coat, he still looked very baggy. In particular, his hand holding the teacup, all five fingers are skinny and bone, each of which is thin and long, giving people the illusion that it will break with a little force, which is very terrifying.

When he just entered the middle hall, Lin Fangda had already reminded Liu Xunyi in a low voice, don't underestimate this person, his origin is not younger than Deng Changchuan at all, but another of the seven heroes of the Xianwang Mansion, Jiang Yiwei.

The seven heroes of the Xianwang Mansion all have unfathomable unique martial arts, such as Xie Xuan's Dharma finger and Deng Changchuan's nine-section whip method, which are all famous. Jiang Yiwei's light work is world-famous, according to legend, his "one reed crossing the river" is more powerful than Wudang Tiyun Vertical and Shaolin Water Floating, Jiang Yiwei is also very proud of this, and boasts that there are only a handful of people in the rivers and lakes who can compete with him in light skills.

Opposite Deng Changchuan and Jiang Yiwei, there were two people sitting, a man and a woman, the woman was Luo Ningyu, and the man was Luo Ningyu's brother, Luo Hongxuan.

Luo Hongxuan's age is slightly two or three years older than Liu Xunyi, and like his father Luo Tianjin, he has an extraordinary appearance and a dignified appearance. It's just that the figure is a little thin, but it also adds a bit of bookish air to it.

Liu Xunyi and Lin Fangda stood in the hall, worried in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say anything to disturb Luo Tianjin, who was carefully appreciating the picture.

"Ahem......"

After a long time, Luo Tianjin finally let out two light coughs, breaking the stagnant silence in the hall.

"Brother Jin, is this picture really the rumored Storm and Rain Map?" Ling Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Then can you see the mystery contained in it?"

Luo Tianjin smiled slightly, but did not answer Ling Xiaoxiao's words directly, but asked Liu Xunyi, "Is this picture really sent to you by the King of Shaoqin?"

"Yes. Liu Xunyi replied without hesitation. After that, he also subconsciously asked: "Dare to ask the lord of Luofu, who is this 'Shaoqin King'?"

"The King of Shaoqin is ......"

"It's just a hero in the Western Regions. Without waiting for Deng Changchuan to explain, Luo Tianjin suddenly interrupted loudly and said with a light smile, "King Shaoqin asked you to hand over the picture to me personally, just to make friends with me?"

That's what they said. Liu Xunyi recalled, "As for whether it's true or not, then ...... I don't know. ”

"Okay!" Luo Tianjin slowly rolled up the picture and smiled quite satisfied, "I have made this friend of King Shaoqin for the time being." ”

Liu Xunyi was stunned for a moment, and added: "They also asked me to relay a message to the lord of Luofu, saying that the person who made trouble in Jiangnan Lufu that day was Song Yu from Jinjianwu. ”

"Song Yu. Luo Tianjin nodded plausibly, "I had long expected that Jin Jianwu was an internal ghost, and that day in the Lu Mansion, Song Yu was aggressive towards Mo Cen, and kept urging him to show a frightening rain map, presumably paving the way for Cao Qin." ”

Deng Changchuan frowned and asked: "Since we know that Jin Jianwu is secretly making trouble, then why don't we inform the world of this matter?" and then take the opportunity to order the group to ...... Jin Jianwu in one fell swoop" Deng Changchuan wanted to speak and stopped, and at the same time gently gestured on his neck with his hand, with obvious intentions.

"No, you can't. Ling Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and retorted, "It is too arbitrary to conclude that it was Jin Jianwu who did it based on just an empty sentence. And even if Jin Jianwu is a troublemaker, we can't come up with any evidence, but we are afraid that Jin Jianwu will beat a rake, not only will we not be able to beat the fox, but we will also cause a commotion. Brother Jin, what do you mean?"

Madame has a point. Luo Tianjin replied undeniably, "This matter is unsubstantiated, so we can't keep our mouths." What's more, Jin Jianwu has deep roots in the south, and it has been opposed to our north and south for many years, how can it be so easy to shake it? Therefore, I don't want to tear my face with Jin Jianwu until I have to. ”

Jiang Yiwei echoed: "Yes, Jin Jianwu has always had a great relationship with the four major families of martial arts, and now that Song Yu is making trouble in the Lu Mansion, this is a field where his own people smash his own people, I believe that Lu Tingxiang will never turn a blind eye." Although it is inconvenient for us to find out about this matter, we can secretly release the wind and stir up this troubled water, even if we can't turn them back, at least we can make the Lu Mansion and Jin Jianwu suspicious of each other. ”

Luo Hongxuan said: "What Third Uncle Jiang said is very true, even if Jin Jianwu beats us upside down, it doesn't hurt to frame us as internal ghosts. Anyway, we have never had much friendship with Jiangnan Lufu. ”

"No!" Liu Xunyi pondered, "Lu Tingxiang secretly sent someone to follow me to Huodu, and finally deceived me with the fake picture on my body, so he knows my every move in Huodu well." Therefore, Lu Tingxiang knew very well in his heart that the Xianwang Mansion and the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace could never be together, otherwise how could I go to the Tianshan Mountains to go through nine deaths?"

"That's very good!" Luo Ningyu clapped his hands and laughed, "Everything is according to what Third Uncle Jiang said, secretly release the rumors, and let them fight themselves." Ha ha...... It's interesting, so let me do it!"

"Ahem!" Seeing Luo Ningyu's excited appearance, Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't help coughing lightly twice, and reproached in a low voice, "Yu'er, you have no rules again! A girl's family, you have to learn to be reserved, don't go to the general staff and these things to fight and kill." ”

"My mother is also a child of the rivers and lakes, and she and her father worked hard to get out of the Xianwang Mansion, why do some things my mother do, but my daughter can't do it?" Luo Ning defended unconvinced, and cried to Luo Tianjin like a coquette, "Dad, my mother wants to lock me up in the room to learn embroidery again." ”

Luo Tianjin slowly shook her head at Luo Ningyu dotingly, signaling her not to mess around. turned his gaze to Deng Changchuan and Jiang Yiwei, and said: "This matter will be handled by Jiang Yiwei, remember to be careful and not cause trouble." ”

"Yes!" Jiang Yiwei got up and took the order.

"Mansion Master, since Brother Liu has brought back the Storm and Rain Map, has he passed the test?" Lin Fang saw that the time had come, and couldn't wait to ask, "Can he stay in the mansion?"

Luo Tianjin looked at Liu Xunyi, and said with a meaningful smile: "I never break my word, but I don't know if Liu Shaoxia is willing to condescend to be a member of my Xianwang Mansion?"

"Thanks to the lord of the Luo Mansion, I can afford it, and I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" Liu Xunyi had long been unable to ask for this, so he no longer hesitated, and immediately knelt on the ground and gave his hand to receive his life.

"Okay!" Luo Tianjin nodded with satisfaction, and said with a straight face, "Since you have entered the Xian Wang's Mansion, you must strictly abide by the rules of my Xian Wang's Mansion in the future, and you must not be lazy and reckless." As for the various rules in the house, Lin Fangda will tell you one by one after going down. After that, Luo Tianjin's expression was slightly softened, and he smiled lightly, "Xunyi, from now on, you will be a disciple of the Xianwang Mansion, I know that you are a rare talent, so I will not forcibly classify you into the next three gates." I'd like to give you a chance to choose freely, I wonder which one you would like to join?"

Ling Xiaoxiao explained: "Xianwang's Mansion has eight doors: life, death, shock, rest, Du, Jing, injury, and opening, of which life, rest, and opening are the upper three, which are mainly responsible for façade kung fu, and exchanges with like-minded friends from all over the world, so as to maintain the reputation and status of Xianwangfu's in the rivers and lakes. Death, shock, and injury are the next three doors, mainly for the Xian Wangfu to solve the grievances and grievances in the rivers and lakes. Dumen and Jingmen are the second gate of Zhongping, and are responsible for household chores, such as taking care of the house, repairing the mansion, and arranging many chores up and down the house at the beginning and end of the year. ”

Luo Ningyu raised her eyebrows, and said jokingly: "The upper three doors are all scenes that are just talking but not practicing, and most of the two doors in Zhongping are members of my Luo family, and only the lower three doors have you the opportunity to show your strengths." Liu Xunyi, you have good martial arts, and you are the most suitable for fighting and killing people. What's more, according to the previous rules of the Xianwang Mansion, new disciples generally enter the next three sects......"

"Don't interject. Ling Xiaoxiao shouted lightly, "Your father has a word first, let Liu Xunyi choose freely, you don't have to bother for him." ”

Liu Xunyi looked at Lin Fangda beside him rather embarrassedly, then looked at Luo Ningyu who was squeezing his eyebrows at him, and hesitated: "Since that's the case...... Then I'll ......."

"Then Brother Liu will come to my door!" Before Liu Xunyi finished speaking, Lin Fangda suddenly spoke, "We are sworn brothers, and I, as the eldest brother, should take care of it a lot, and I hope that the lord of the mansion will be perfect." ”

Luo Tianjin smiled quietly and asked, "I wonder if Xun Yi also has this intention?"

"If I could, of course I would like to be with my eldest brother all day long. Liu Xunyi hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

In fact, Liu Xunyi knew in his heart that among the eight gates of the Xianwang Mansion, although the lower three gates were dangerous, they were the easiest to get ahead.

However, Lin Fangda also had good intentions, he didn't want Liu Xunyi to fight and kill all day long, so he took the initiative to recruit him to his command. In this regard, although Liu Xunyi was unwilling, he couldn't help but agree. After all, he is just a newcomer, so how can he refute Lin Fangda's face?

Luo Tianjin and Ling Xiaoxiao glanced at each other, and said with a light smile: "Then you will follow Lin Fangda! ”

After a simple greeting, Luo Tianjin ordered Lin Fangda and Liu Xunyi to retreat.

After leaving, Liu Xunyi had mixed feelings in his heart, he thought that he had made great contributions to the Xianwang Mansion and would definitely be able to win Luo Tianjin's favor in one fell swoop, but he never expected that in the end, he would become a disciple of the Closed Sect in a daze. What's more, Luo Tianjin's attitude towards him tonight is neither salty nor light, and there is no intimacy at all, as if the shocking rain map he got back with his life is a worthless piece of waste paper, which can't arouse Luo Tianjin's interest in the slightest.

In vain, Liu Xunyi swore an oath before asking to see Luo Tianjin, full of confidence. Today's ending inevitably made him gloomy, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: "It seems that I still underestimated this 'Northern Sage King', but I don't know when I will have a chance to get close to Luo Tianjin again as soon as I enter the door tonight." If you want to persuade him to submit to the court, you must first become his confidant, but now it seems that ...... I was far away from him, trying to persuade him to accept Zhao'an, but I didn't know that I had to wait until the Year of the Monkey...... Alas......"
