Chapter Forty-Eight: Sword Sect Conference
Yu'an City is located in the north of Longtai Prefecture and borders Fenglin Prefecture in the northwest. Emperor Fu Anmin of the Great Zhou Dynasty Tianwu Emperor in the sixth year of his accession to the throne, moved the capital from Nan'an Jinling to here, after more than ten years of rapid development, the population has reached more than 3 million, is the most prosperous metropolis of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It was late autumn, on both sides of the streets of Yu'an City, the leaves of the rows of plane trees had yellowed and withered, and the autumn breeze blew, and a few dead leaves were swept into a noble mansion. This majestic building, which occupies nearly half of the south of a ten-mile long street, is the residence of the prince of the Great Wednesday, the palace of the prince of Ye Ye.
In the back garden of the palace, there is a lake, the koi fish in the lake are rolling, Huangfu Ye stood in a pavilion in the middle of the lake, looking at the roof of the palace carved with dragons and phoenixes in the southeast, stunned.
After a while, a servant in the palace led a middle-aged man in a brocade robe to the lake. Manly and graceful, he glanced at the young man in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and his feet did not stop, and he walked across the pontoon bridge on the lake and came to Huangfu Ye.
was about to bow down, but was stopped by Huang Fu Ye with a smile and raised his hand, "There are no outsiders here, Uncle Feng doesn't have to be formal." ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he straightened up, didn't say much, turned his eyes to the lake, he smiled, and reached out to grab a handful of bait from a box of bait on the stone table next to him, and with a wave of his hand, the bait was scattered in the lake, and the originally calm lake suddenly rippled, and dozens of koi fish gushed out of the lake to compete for food.
Huang Fu Ye didn't care about the middle-aged man's casual actions at all, and asked, "Uncle Feng, has Mu Linchun's identity been clarified?"
The middle-aged man was still throwing bait into the lake, staring at the surface of the lake with his eyes, and replied leisurely: "Mu Linchun, the sister-in-law of Mu Tianjun, the current sect leader of the Red Lotus Sword Sect in Taiqing Prefecture, his grandfather Mu Linsen had military merits in the northwest battlefield at the beginning of my dynasty Taizu's business, and later when Taizu ordered the rectification of the rivers and lakes, he also responded positively. This son was frail and sickly since he was a child, and he was unable to inherit the family martial arts, but he was gifted and intelligent, and had the ability to never forget, and in the fourteenth year of Tianwu, he was sent to live in a hospital for five years. Three months ago, he entered Kunlun Mountain in Dongxuanzhou with a weak and sick body, and after leaving Kunlun, he entered the Dongxuanjian Pond and got an adventure in the Great Xuanjian Sect. ”
Huangfu Ye nodded, and asked again, "Then, what about the young man named Qin Xuan who was with Mu Linchun?"
The middle-aged man stopped what he was doing, and said in the same tone: "This son has no origin, it was Mu Linchun who met in the medical hall, and he was the son of a local doctor, who was frivolous and did not learn any skills; ”
Huang Fu Ye was silent for a moment, and then continued to ask, "The assassins I met along the way were really sent by the imperial brother?"
The middle-aged man didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "This, but I didn't find it." ”
Huangfu Ye sighed, not satisfied with this answer, but he also knew that it was not easy for this person who was called Uncle Style to come and solve his doubts in person, because this person was the second in the sword list and the fifth in the heavenly list Guangling Sword Wind Guangling.
At the same time, Feng Guangling also has another identity that few people know, that is, the owner of the Wind Wave Building, who controls the three thousand Wind Wave Towers in the land of Shenzhou, and knows all the trends of the rivers and lakes and folk affairs well, even his father, who is ranked in the Ninety-Five, also respects this person.
After Feng Guangling reported the information that Huangfu Ye wanted to know, he left the Ye Palace, took a carriage, and came to the storm tower in Yu'an City.
At this time, it was not yet noon, and the huge storm building seemed a little deserted, only a few Xiao Er who were in charge of cleaning were busy inside, and when they saw this middle-aged man who walked in abruptly, they all hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Feng Guangling was silent, walked straight up to the largest restaurant in the imperial city, and walked into a room on the top floor, where no one was allowed to come up unless he had the permission of the shopkeeper. Feng Guangling pushed the door directly, and in the exquisite and elegant spacious room, there was only a beautiful young woman lying on a bed. The woman seemed to have just woken up, her expression was a little lazy, and she was not surprised when she saw Feng Guangling coming in, she stretched her waist, revealing most of her snow-white upper body.
Feng Guangling just watched silently, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks, do you know how to answer?"
The woman didn't get up, she was still lying in the quilt, revealing a touching and charming smile, and said softly: "Don't worry, master, Zhao Ling knows." ”
Feng Guangling nodded, and said: "Tell the people below to find a way to erase that Qin Xuan's background, so that the group of dragon claw guards under Wen Liusheng's hand think that he is an ordinary person." ”
The woman hummed softly, like a moan, indescribably coquettish. If an ordinary man sees such a stunner that he asks for, it will definitely be difficult to control, but Feng Guangling, who is used to seeing all kinds of fat powder, is still indifferent, smiled at the woman on the bed, and turned to leave.
After Feng Guangling left, the charming woman who was originally lying on the bed turned over and got out of bed, put on a red skirt, and put on a cold makeup, looking extremely noble and captivating. She took out a small, delicately glowing object from the dressing case, and with a slight twist of her hand, the object poked out a red patch. The woman smeared the red on her pink lips in front of the bronze mirror, and the spirit of the whole person seemed to increase a few points in an instant.
The woman looked at herself in the mirror and smiled, no matter how humble she was in front of the man, but at this moment, she was the little shopkeeper of this stormy building, and she was the first beauty Feng Zhaoling who was famous in Beijing, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today had to bow down under her pomegranate skirt.
................................................
Taiqingzhou, Tianxi City.
At the foot of the Gale Mountain, on the square of the outer courtyard of the Red Lotus Sword Sect, thousands of disciples from the top and bottom of the sect gathered at this moment. They were dressed in two different colors, the light blue ones were the outer court disciples, and the dark blue ones were the inner court disciples.
The disciples of the two academies were divided into six camps, with 500 people in each battalion, surrounding a tall hexagonal stone platform in the center of the square.
Everyone looked solemn because a big event was going to happen today. Not long ago, after several months of retreat, their sect leader Mu Tianjun finally got a glimpse of the Heavenly Opportunity and achieved the Heavenly Dao Realm.
Although it is only the early stage, it is also a high-level master who can really dominate the martial arts, and it is not an exaggeration to say that a master of the Heavenly Dao Realm can easily deal with several masters of the Tianyuan Realm at the same time, such as Cai Lanting of the West Gate East Building.
Everyone in the Red Lotus Sword Sect was relieved after hearing the news. After the death of the old sect master seven years ago, the new sect master Mu Tianjun not only inherited the position of the sect master, but also inherited the status of the old sect master's fourth sword god, but most people in the rivers and lakes were not convinced, thinking that Mu Tianjun's ranking in the sword list was just a joke. And the Red Lotus Sword Sect has always swallowed its anger about this remark, which has also made the reputation of the sect decline day by day. Now, this originally somewhat illusory sword ranking will definitely no longer be controversial. In the future, when they walk the rivers and lakes, their waists will be harder.
According to the custom, if the sect master is promoted to the Heavenly Dao, he must pass on the "Heavenly Sword" that symbolizes the identity of the sect master to the next generation of heirs. The Heavenly Dao Realm already belongs to the ranks of the super-top masters, and there is no need to use any divine weapons at all, and they can also laugh at the rivers and lakes.
Therefore, the purpose of this plenary meeting held today is to select the best person among the young disciples through a competition to decide the ownership of the Heavenly Sword.
The successive heads of the Red Lotus Sword Sect since the founding patriarch of the Red Lotus Old Ancestor were all proud sons of the heavens who successfully captured the Heavenly Sword.
At this time, the disciples of the Sword Sect had just finished gathering, and the competition had not yet begun, and among the group of inner court disciples, many people's attention was focused on a young man in the front row. He was wearing a distinctive splendid white robe, wearing a jade crown, and with an extraordinary bearing of elegance and composure, many female disciples who were only middle-aged couldn't help but reveal their unconcealable admiration. And those female disciples with excellent temperament and appearance, looking at him, all had a sense of forbearance and resentment.
Behind the brocade-robed young man, there was a young man with thick eyebrows and pressed eyes, if Qin Xuan was here, he would definitely recognize this person, it was the Mu Yougui who had troubled him.
Mu Yougui approached the young man in the brocade robe with a flattering smile, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, that sick ghost has locked himself in the Red Lotus Pavilion since he returned to the sect, and I heard Elder Yuan say that he has been studying the martial arts secrets collected by this sect, and I don't know if he will come today." ”
The one who can be called a big brother by Mu Yougui willingly is naturally Mu Qingfeng, the next successor recognized by the Red Lotus Sword Sect. Although Mu Qingfeng is the son of Mu Linchun's second uncle Mu Tianhua, he was born two years earlier than Mu Linchun, so Mu Yougui will call him the eldest brother and call Mu Linchun the second brother, but behind his back, he has always called the latter a sick ghost.
Mu Qingfeng, who was running in splendor, smiled when he heard this, and said lightly: "Even if his illness is cured, what's the use of going to the cheats now? I don't understand, hasn't he read all the cheats in the Red Lotus Pavilion? He claims to have never forgotten them, but why did he read them again?"
Mu Yougui pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "The ghost knows, let's ignore that sick ghost for now......" Speaking of this, he glanced at the group of disciples opposite, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, there is a tricky thing now, it is recognized that Luo Lingchuan, who is recognized as a genius in the outer courtyard, seems to have broken through the Xuan Realm, and I heard that he is very unconvinced by you in private, eldest brother......"
Speaking of this, Mu Yougui suddenly stopped, he didn't know where he didn't know, everything was because Mu Qingfeng robbed other people's sweethearts, which attracted Luo Ningchuan's resentment, but he didn't break it, and only reminded Mu Qingfeng a little.
Mu Qingfeng snorted lightly, "Have you already entered the Xuan Realm, hehe, Luo Ningchuan has some talent, but so what?"
Mu Yougui was stunned when he heard this, "So, big brother, could it be that you have already reached the Great Consummation of the Mystery Realm?"
Mu Qingfeng chuckled undeniably.
At this moment, the originally lively square suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but look in one direction. Directly south of the square, a young man dressed in white clothes and white robes walked slowly, and above his collar was an extremely complete fiery red sable fur, like a vivid fiery red lightning marten, entrenched around his neck, setting off the young man's originally thin face, setting off a bit of bewitchment.
After the initial surprise, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, secretly saying that although the son of the sect master was cured of a strange disease, he missed the age of martial arts, and he must have no chance with the next successor, and they couldn't help but cast a pity on him.
Mu Yougui couldn't help but laugh out loud, it looked particularly harsh in the quiet square, but he didn't care, and said to a few disciples beside him: "This guy actually put a fox on his neck, and he didn't panic, haha......"
Facing Mu Yougui's ridicule of pointing the deer as a horse, the disciples of the Sword Sect who always followed him on weekdays also laughed.
Mu Linchun's expression was calm, but the white-haired girl Yue Yao, who had been following him, showed a hint of anger on her face and glared at Mu Yougui fiercely.
Mu Yougui unceremoniously returned her a disdainful look.
