"There are many things in this world that have to be done, and there are too many helpless people. Xue Lanyi muttered.

At this time, there was a sound outside the door, it was Tian Zhangyi's voice. Xue Lanyi said, "Come in." Tian Zhangyi didn't care about the snowflakes on his head, and frowned: "Snow Palace Master, something is wrong." There were many disciples who were clamoring to go down the mountain. Xue Lanyi smiled and said, "This is a good thing." Tian Zhangyi raised his head and was stunned, and asked, "Did your subordinates hear correctly?"

Xue Lanyi said: "You heard it right. Those who are willing to stay on the mountain are the foundation of this sect in the future, and those who are willing to go should not be stopped. You just have to talk ugly about the front and tell them that once you leave the Xuannu Palace, no matter how you live, old, sick or die in the future, you will have nothing to do with the Xuannu Palace. Tian Zhangyi nodded yes. Xue Lanyi said again: "They want to leave, leave the tokens, cheats and other items that each person brought, and after the rest of the items are checked, they will be put down the mountain immediately." Tell them that after they go down the mountain, they must not declare themselves disciples of the Xuannu Palace. The signature and drawing are stored together with the inspection booklet. ”

It turned out that many disciples in the five divisions of Begonia, Hibiscus, Pear Blossom, Narcissus, and Lamei were worried that the sin of the master would affect them, so they resigned. These people were eager to leave as soon as possible, and they agreed to the terms proposed by Xue Lanyi without thinking about it.

Five disciples in the Orchid Courtyard were talking in the house. Shui said with a smoke: "Senior Sister Jiang, why did the palace master's mother-in-law let the disciple go down the mountain? And our Xuannu Palace is now alone, what should we do if a strong enemy comes to attack." Jiang Hanyue looked at them and said slowly: "Senior sisters, think about it. What does the palace master's mother-in-law need now?" The other three disciples were only fourteen or fifteen years old, so naturally they couldn't guess.

Shui Hanyan said: "The palace master's mother-in-law wants everyone to be united, do you need everyone to be loyal?" Jiang Hanyue smiled and said: "Sister Yan, what you said is good. You think, it is better to let the unfaithful people go down the mountain than to let them stay on the mountain, which will be a disaster sooner or later. Only if the big guy's heart for the Xuannu Palace is the same, can people be united. ”

A few days later, the mountain was again discussed. Xue Lanyi was already sitting on the sleeping floor, covering her legs with a white fox fur. She glanced at the disciples and said with a smile: "Why are you here today? I will not teach your martial arts and my literary talents. Let's just talk about how to revive the great cause of our own business? You can speak freely, and you don't have to be detained. ”

Among these thirty or so people, most of them are relatively young, and they have never thought about governing the sect, so how dare they speak in vain, and they look at each other for a while, not knowing how to answer. Only Jiang Hanyue has a bamboo in his chest, and he has been prepared for a long time. She stepped forward slowly, arched her hands, and said, "The disciple has a few thoughts to say. Xue Lanyi glanced at her, and secretly praised in her heart: "This girl's gestures are somewhat similar to my demeanor when I was young." He immediately smiled and said, "Child, speak boldly." No one here will blame you. ”

Jiang Hanyue was dressed in a pomegranate flower satin jacket, wearing a fragrant concubine to wipe her forehead, and the golden hairpin on the back of her head was particularly eye-catching. Her voice was sonorous, and she said slowly: "The rejuvenation plan of this sect is one of the people, the second is still the people, and the third is still the people. When the women heard her say this, they all smiled. Xue Lanyi's eyes flashed, and she smiled: "Then you can talk about these three people." ”

Jiang Hanyue glanced at the women, stretched out her finger to the void, and said loudly: "Since ancient times, great things are inseparable from people, from dignitaries to ordinary people, only this person can be prosperous, and he can come to the door." Xue Lanyi said with a smile: "There are only these people left in our Xuannu Palace now, and it is impossible to talk about the prosperity of people." ”

Jiang Hanyue stretched out two fingers and said, "The palace master's mother-in-law is in a hurry, and listen to the disciple." The second word is talent. Zhou Wu Jiang Shang's plan to settle down with Yin Shang and the country, Han without Xiao and Zhang Liang's plan, it is difficult to achieve a great cause; if the Xuannu Palace wants to be revived, it naturally needs talents. What is a talent? Mr. Linchuan Yun 'only when he encounters things and governs them, draws strategies and benefits them, governs the country and the country is safe, so it is different from others. 'We want to rejuvenate, recruit talents, and cultivate talents as the first priority. ”

In Xue Lanyi's opinion, her macro remarks are just a child's opinion, but among the many children, she can say it, which shows that she also has some wisdom. Xue Lanyi asked: "You just said three words, what does this third person mean?" Jiang Hanyue said: "The so-called time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people." Even if there are many talents in this faction, it will not help if everyone is not in harmony. And the revival of this faction is indispensable. ”

Xue Lanyi was very grateful in her heart: "It's already great that this kid can have this opinion, it seems that Feng Ying is training well." After a hundred years, only this son can pass on my mantle. At that moment, she gave a few orders to Tian Zhangyi, and Tian Zhangyi said, "All the disciples disperse." Jiang Hanyue still had a lot of macro opinions to say in front of the palace master, and when she saw Tian Zhangyi announcing the dismissal of the meeting at this time, she couldn't help but be disappointed. As soon as she walked out of the door, Tian Zhangyi walked up to her and said in a low voice, "Come and see the palace master later." ”

Jiang Hanyue's heart warmed, and she said in her heart: "It turns out that the palace master's mother-in-law knows my hard work, and I will definitely tell her the macro arguments in my chest." "When it was time for the Shen faction, Xue Lanyi summoned her in the pavilion of the Sunuya in the back mountain. Xue Lanyi saw that her cheeks were flushed, obviously not lightly frozen, so she personally poured a glass of wine and handed it to her: "Come, child, first drink a glass of wine to warm up." ”

Jiang Hanyue took the white jade wine glass and sipped it gently, it was rose dew. She said slowly: "Thank you Palace Master for giving the disciple wine." Xue Lanyi said: "Hanyue, do you know why I saw you here at Sunu Peak?" Jiang Hanyue shook her head. Xue Lanyi smiled and said, "I intend to entrust my mantle to you. Jiang Hanyue was taken aback, and immediately knelt down and said, "The disciple is talented and knowledgeable, how can he shoulder a big responsibility?"

Xue Lanyi raised her head and laughed: "Who is talking in the palace today, could it be that you only use your tongue, but you don't have such talent?" Jiang Hanyue raised her head, her eyes flashed, and she said loudly: "The disciple has done what he said." One day does not work for two days, two days does not work for three days. In short, the plan to revive our faction is more important than anything else in Hanyue's heart?"

Xue Lanyi stood up, pulled her up and said, "Child, if you want to revive our faction, the first thing is naturally the palace master." Mother-in-law, I choose you, don't be too complacent. Regardless of martial arts or virtue, I still have to carefully examine and teach. At present, there is a lack of talent in our family, and many matters still need to be considered in the long run. Let me ask you, if you are given half a year, how will you make your people prosperous?"

Jiang Hanyue said slowly: "The disciple is willing to go down the mountain for a while, go to various states and prefectures to find suitable candidates, and lead them up." Xue Lanyi smiled and said, "In this way, Hanyue, I will go down the mountain with you to complete this matter." Jiang Hanyue said: "With the palace master's mother-in-law accompanying me, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort." However, the disciple is worried that once your old man leaves the palace, those people with bad intentions will go up the mountain to make a nuisance and seek to seize the foundation of their sect. ”

Xue Lanyi nodded and said, "Well, you are thinking about it very much, but I have already arranged it for my mother-in-law." A few months ago, someone from the Heavenly Master's Mansion came to meet with me. Out of justice, the Heavenly Master's Mansion will send disciples to take care of us secretly. Don't ask, I also have some old friends with my mother-in-law, and I still believe his words. ”

Jiang Hanyue said: "There is one more thing, the disciple also wants to ask his mother-in-law?" Xue Lanyi said: "You ask?" Jiang Hanyue said: "What the disciple wants to ask is...... Is it Uncle Ding, are they really rebelling?" Xue Lanyi's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and she snorted coldly: "The big guys have seen this matter with their own eyes, is it possible that you still suspect it?" Jiang Hanyue's face changed and he hurriedly said: "The disciple doesn't dare." Xue Lanyi took another drink, spat out and said, "Child, that incident is a thing of the past, you better think about the future of our Xuannu Palace." ”

Outside the pavilion, the snow was blowing one after another, and the sky and the earth were white. Xue Lanyi stood up and turned her back to Jiang Hanyue, and said slowly: "If you want to be the palace master one day, you have to understand a sentence now." If you want to establish an indestructible foundation, you are destined to suffer many hardships in this life. Jiang Hanyue said respectfully: "Disciple understands." ”

Xue Lanyi didn't speak, walked out of the pavilion, stretched out her hand to break off a plum blossom, and walked slowly into the distance. Jiang Hanyue said in her mouth: "Establish an indestructible karma, no matter how hard it is, I will endure it." ”

However, it was said that Xiao Yunfan and his party went down to Zhongnan Mountain and came to Lantian territory. After working hard all the way, he finally stayed in an inn in Huaxu Town at dusk. He took a hot bath and changed his clothes. Then I went downstairs and asked the store for half a catty of Xifeng wine, a bowl of somen noodles, a plate of peanuts, and half a catty of cooked beef to eat.

When he was full of wine and food, he fell asleep. When I woke up, I was already on the third pole of the day. When I thought of the important things to be done, the first thing was to fulfill Master's last wish, and the second thing was to find out about the beggar gang of human traffickers.

The bones were very important to him, and he was afraid that he would lose them when he carried them with him. The day after he succeeded, he sent the bone support bureau to Zhejiang and deposited it at a friend's house. Counting on the time and days, the things have already arrived.

The matter of the beggar gang needs to be secretly investigated, and if it is together with Jade Shura and Ying'er, it will inevitably attract attention. Thinking about it, you can only act alone. Xiao Yunfan made up his mind and pushed the door out. He went around the bazaar and bought some items.

As soon as Ying'er saw Xiao Yunfan enter the house, she ran to him. raised his little face and said, "Uncle Monk said that you are not allowed to quarrel with you, you drank a lot of wine last night, so you have to rest." Is it okay now?"

Xiao Yunfan stretched out his hand to pick up Ying'er, hugged her in his arms and said, "Thank you for your concern, it's much better." Ying'er stretched out her little thumb and scraped her face and said, "Uncle Xiao is a lazy worm, and he didn't get up early as Ying'er." Xiao Yunfan said: "Yes, our Ying'er is a diligent child." ”

Seeing that Xiao Yunfan was carrying a burden on his shoulders, Yu Shura said suspiciously: "Brother Xiao, who are you?" Xiao Yunfan put Ying'er down, opened the baggage, took out a rattle and cloth tiger and handed them to Ying'er. Ying'er was naturally extremely happy to get such a toy.

Xiao Yunfan looked at Ying'er's smiling face, sighed and said, "Brother Shura, I'm here today to say goodbye to you and Ying'er!" Ying'er was very happy, but when she heard Xiao Yunfan say that she was leaving, she pouted and said, "Uncle Xiao, do you want to go?"

Xiao Yunfan nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Shura, this is a few pieces of clothing I bought for you and Ying'er, and some entanglements, so I should think of it as a little bit of a friend." In order to avoid the provocation of the enemy, you and Ying'er may have to be modified along the way......

There is a way that the world has to disperse, I still have a very important thing to do, I have to do it, let's say goodbye!"

Ying'er cried out loud, hugged Xiao Yunfan's leg and sobbed, "Ying'er...... Ying'er didn't let Uncle Xiao go. Yu Shura touched Ying'er's head and said, "Good boy, let go." Uncle Xiao just has something important to do, and it's not that he won't meet us in the future. ”

Xiao Yunfan stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Ying'er's face and said: "My whistling dog likes to eat children's noses the most, the more fierce you cry, the better it tastes." He snorted twice as he spoke. Ying'er remembered what he said when they met that day, and said with tears in her eyes: "Xiao ...... Uncle Xiao said that he was a whistling dog, but the puppy's barking was Wangwang, and only the pig hummed. This fairy tale flew into Xiao Yunfan's ears, Rao was the person he beat with iron, and he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and almost shed tears.

Although the three of them have been together for a short time, their friendship with each other is long. Xiao Yunfan beckoned to the two of them, then turned his horse's head and ran into the distance. He originally wanted to go back to Zhejiang first, and after fulfilling his master's last wish, he would visit the beggars.

However, that night, he missed the lodging and had to settle down in a farmhouse. In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Yunfan saw the old woman sweeping the snow in the courtyard, so he hurriedly took the broom and said, "Old man, let's come with me." The old woman excused herself and went to the kitchen.

He finished sweeping the snow and leaned the broom against the wall. He rubbed his red ears with both hands, then rolled up his sleeves and looked around. Outside the fence wall, a row of bare willow trees stretched out along the river bank into the distance, and there was a stone arch bridge to the west of the willow trees. Xiao Yunfan said: "I should ask the mother-in-law about how to go." Immediately he lifted the tattered cotton curtain and walked into the stove room.

The old woman picked up a handful of dried corn husks and put them into the hearth, and pulled the bellows. The fire in the hearth brightened up, and her wrinkled cheeks flushed. Xiao Yunfan stood aside and said, "Old man, how are you?" Dare to ask what is the name of our village, and which way do you want to go to Sichuan?"

The old woman said: "The distinguished guests are not busy, eat and then leave." Xiao Yunfan arched his hand and said, "Thank you for the old man's kindness." Why don't you let the descendants pull the bellows for you?" The old woman waved her hand and said: "No, you are very clean, you are a baby of the wealthy family, and these rough jobs are still done by the old woman." Xiao Yunfan scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Old man, you are outside." Why are you so old that you live alone?" the old woman said: "My daughter-in-law and son are in the county, and I am used to living in a place like the countryside. It's not beautiful to be on their side. ”

It turned out that the old woman's surname was Cui, and her wife died the year before last. The fields in the village could not produce any grain, and the officials were ruthless in collecting taxes, so the daughter-in-law and son had no choice but to abandon the fields and go to the county to make a living. The two of them did odd jobs for some silk weaving merchants, but they had a lot of surplus. Every once in a while, look at the old man.
