Chapter 23: The First Little Uncle

Su Ci and Rulu sat quietly on the stone table in the courtyard, and the old pine shaded them.

The eyes of the two were fixed on the courtyard gate, and the next moment, the courtyard door was pushed open.

The first thing that caught my eye was a handsome man, dressed in a coarse cloth extremely black robe, with a short beard under his chin, who was Ji Tianhe who had been in the Yuqing Hall before.

Ji Tianhe was followed by an ordinary-looking disciple, but Su Ci knew him, because this person had been following Mingshan before.

Rulu looked at Su Ci, Su Ci replied to her with a smile, got up and looked at Ji Tianhe, and arched his hand: "Presumably the predecessor is the famous Ji Wuzhi of the six major factions." ”

Ji Tianhe still looked a little haggard, the corners of his lips were pale, and the whole person had a feeling of weakness.

Su Ci recognized him at a glance, and he was very surprised to hear such a long-ago title, but he behaved very indifferently: "You know me?"

Su Ci said with a smile: "No strategy is better than a strategy, and a few people don't know how many people don't know about the ability of their predecessors,"

When he entered the Taichu Sect, the Taichu Sect was located at the end of the six factions, and in the past 20 years, under his planning, the Taichu Sect became the head of the six factions.

But in fact, it is not difficult to see from his style of acting for many years that what this person said about improvisation is completely nonsense, so now many people prefer to call him a poisonous planner, referring to the poison of his intentions.

The disciples who followed Ji Tianhe retreated to the door, looking at Ji Tianhe curiously.

Ji Tianhe suddenly raised his hand to increase his forehead, bowed slightly, and saluted Su Ci.

This ceremony is not simple, it is a gift for students to see the teacher, even Su Ci couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"The student meets the little uncle,"

"Little uncle?" Rulu heard Ji Tianhe's respectful voice and looked at Su Ci suspiciously.

Su Ci, who heard this salutation, was slightly stunned, but he understood in an instant, and got up with a smile and said, "Is the Great Elder preparing to make amends?"

Ji Tianhe straightened up, stepped forward and said: "Mingshan doesn't know the identity of the little uncle, so he tied the little uncle up the mountain, the so-called ignorant is not guilty, and I hope that the little uncle will not blame him." ”

Su Ci saw his sincere appearance, not at all like the great elder in front of the Taichu Sect Hall who was high above.

"But I'm not going to let him go," Su Zi said playfully.

Ji Tianhe sat down, looked at his smiling eyes and said, "But he's dead." ”

"Dead?" said Rulu was surprised.

Su Ci frowned slightly and asked, "How did you die?"

Ji Tianhe said: "He died outside the Yuqing Palace, and it is not known who killed him." ”

Su Ci looked at Ji Tianhe and the harmless eyes of humans and animals, and couldn't help but say, "You don't want to say that I did it, do you?"

Ji Tianhe smiled slightly: "No, Uncle Xiao thinks too much." ”

Su Ci is not very accustomed to this sudden title, and the person who calls him is still a person from the Taichu Sect.

"You don't seem to have to call me that, do you?"

From Ji Tianhe saying the title of Uncle Xiaoshi, he instantly understood that it was his teacher who announced his identity.

But at the same time, he also understood that although his teacher was the apprentice of the previous master, and he was also the disciple of Wensheng, one of the top figures in the Xilin School, with extremely high rank and status, but this was only for Xilin.

Taichu Sect belongs to Donglin, and Donglin and Xilin don't deal with each other, what's the matter with this guy calling him Uncle Xiao like this.

Obviously, this old fox was afraid that he was going to trap him.

When Ji Tianhe heard this, he chuckled and said: "When I was young, I was lucky enough to enter the Nanhai Yiye School Palace, and I studied there for half a year, so Mr. is indeed my little uncle." ”

Rulu didn't understand, and asked, "Why do you have to call Gongzi like this when you enter the Yiye School Palace?"

The south is adjacent to the empire, Xilin is the largest, the school has thousands of schools in the empire, and there are five university palaces on the top, which are the imperial capital Xilin Palace, the South China Sea Yiye Palace, the Hengshan Hengyang Palace, the Yanshan North Foot Palace and the Qinghe Dongyang Palace.

Ji Tianhe looked at Rulu without explanation, his gaze was fixed on her face.

Su Ci said: "Because your son-in-law's teacher is a disciple of the master, a disciple of the saint of Wen, and a saint teacher today." ”

Rulu stared at those big watery eyes, still puzzled: "So who is it?"

Su words: "......"

Ji Tianhe was still staring at Rulu, and asked distractedly, "I don't know who this girl is?"

Su Ci said: "Her name is Rulu, and she is my sister." ”

Although Ji Tianhe couldn't understand for a while, he still nodded, but those eyes still didn't open from Rulu's face.

Rulu said: "Childe is talking nonsense, I am obviously your maid." ”

Su Ci stretched out his hand and knocked him on the forehead, Ji Tianhe shook his head slightly, and asked, "I don't know how young a girl is?"

Rulu looked at the man who suddenly asked his age strangely, and said, "Thirteen." ”

Ji Tianhe asked, "How many months was born?"

Su Ci said: "Are you here to check the household registration?"

Ji Tianhe smiled when he heard this, knowing that he was a little abrupt, and said, "I'm sorry, it's really like a girl who is too much like me as a deceased person, so I have this question." ”

Su Ci was surprised by Ji Tianhe's explanation, looked at Rulu and said, "Lu'er has never seen her biological father and mother since she was a child. ”

Ji Tianhe asked, "Has the girl been following Uncle Xiao?"

Rulu shook his head, and Su Zi said: "I only followed Gongzi the day before yesterday." ”

"Oh," Ji Tianhe bowed his head, thoughtful.

Su Ci looked at Rulu, thinking to himself that Rulu's mother knew the senior in front of him, if this is the case, Rulu's life experience may not be simple.

He has followed Gu Fen for half a year, and knows a lot of big names, Ji Tianhe is one of them, this person became famous very early, six years ago, when Donglin was rebuilt, the emperor invited him to settle in Donglin, but he was rejected, and chose to enter the Taichu Sect, and in recent years, Ji Tianhe and martial arts cultivation seems to have entered the realm of decay.

Rulu raised her mouth, listening to the conversation between the two on the side, and suddenly the topic ran to her, although she had long had no expectations for her parents, but when she heard Ji Tianhe mention it to Su Ci, her heart still ignited expectations, so she asked: "Senior, am I really like your old man?" Her breath was obviously a little disordered.

Ji Tianhe heard her voice and suddenly came back to his senses,

The sunlight passed through the treetops and fell on the stone table, Ji Tianhe suddenly remembered something, frowned hastily, and looked around at the mountains and forests.

The spring breeze is blowing, and the quiet mountain forest seems to have no bird.

Rulu looked at Ji Tianhe expectantly, but Su Ci was vigilant in his heart.

Ji Tianhe spat out a turbid breath, he avoided Rulu's gaze, looked at Su Ci and said, "I almost missed the business, I came here to ask Uncle Xiao to leave here quickly." ”

Su Ci looked at him indifferently: "Do you want to go down the mountain?"

"Yes,"

Su Ci said: "Don't worry, the elder might as well answer Lu'er's question first." ”

Ji Tianhe looked at Rulu seriously and said: "It's really similar, but now that the four major factions and the Xilin School are going up the mountain to besiege our faction together, the situation is critical, so Uncle Xiao should go down the mountain quickly." ”

"Huh?" Rulu's mouth opened slightly.

"What is it?" Su Ci complained.

Su Ci looked at Ji Tianhe seriously, his black hair naturally fell down, a pair of tired eyes appeared on his haggard cheeks, and the whole person looked not vibrant, like an old man.

Ji Tianhe calmly accepted Su Ci's gaze and said, "Uncle Xiao should have seen that I was a crippled body,"

"No," Su Ci said, "What do you say is the matter with the four major factions and Xilin besieging you?"

He knew that the relationship between the Taichu Sect and the other five factions was not good, but it wouldn't be like this.

Ji Tianhe said: "This time I went to the 100,000 mountains in the southwest, I and the sect master were seriously injured, and several elders of the sect died in the 100,000 mountains. ”

"Then what does this have to do with Xilin?" Rulu wondered.

Su Ci had always been curious about what the so-called 100,000 Southwest Mountain Heavenly Treasure was descending, so he asked, "What happened to you in the Southwest 100,000 Mountain?"

Ji Tianhe glanced up at the two of them, lowered his head again, the state of the whole person seemed to be getting worse and worse, and said lightly: "A year ago, because of the fall of the deputy sect master of this sect, we united the six major factions into Kyoto to question Bai Zhouxing, and today he sent people to worship the mountain,

He sighed, and then said, "In the 100,000 Mountains in the southwest, we were besieged by a group of black-clothed people, most of whom were from the Haotian Sect. ”

Su Ci was silent, the distance between Haotian Sect, the divine object above the clouds, and him could be said to be farther than the distance between heaven and earth, of course, he didn't yearn for it, let alone awe.

The Haotian Sect is located in Yangzhou, and Yangzhou is the center of Kyushu, and the Haotian Sect believes in God and nominally rules Kyushu, but there are many races in Kyushu, and few are willing to obey him.

But no matter what, no one dared to really turn their faces against it, and in the face of the teachings issued by the Haotian Sect, even Xilin had to weigh one or two.

So when he heard Haotian Sect, Su Ci lost the desire to continue asking, and instead said, "Since that's the case, let's go down the mountain." ”

Ji Tianhe saw that he was no longer interested, although Rulu seemed to want to ask something.

Su Ci said: "Although Xilin is proud, he is also a cultivator of the sage's learning, and he reads the scriptures and holy scriptures, I believe they will not embarrass your sect." ”

Ji Tianhe could only smile bitterly when he heard this, Xilin didn't know how many people wanted to destroy the six major factions, their Taichu Sect was the first, and the next might be Tianjian Mountain.

He smiled bitterly because none of the other factions saw through Xilin's intentions, and now that Donglin is not out, the Taichu Sect will be in danger.

Su Ci looked at Rulu and said, "Lu'er, let's go down the mountain." ”

Rulu pursed his lips, but still didn't say it, Su Ci of course understood what Rulu wanted to ask, but the situation was critical, they finally escaped from the cottage, from Mingshan's minions, if they were involved in this battle again because of this matter, I am afraid it would be difficult to get out.

"Taichu Sect will be fine, I'll bring you back when this matter is over, and ask about your mother's affairs," Su Ci pulled Rulu to his side and whispered.

After all, Taichu Sect is a nail in Donglin's cultivation world, and he will never allow Xilin to pull it out like this, not to mention that he firmly believes that the emperor does not want to see Taichu Sect disappear like this.

Rulu nodded again and again, Ji Tianhe bent his arm on the stone table, and leaned on his head weakly.

Su Ci suddenly took out a porcelain bottle, got up and put it in front of Ji Tianhe, and said, "Don't die, I still have something to look for you." ”
