"Good apprentice, you said that the young man who gave me the 'Son of Heaven' that day was not a rat? I've been looking for him for more than two months, and I still can't see him!"

“............”

"My good apprentice of the stars, why have you been so silent these days? Not to mention outside the Chu realm, you and I have already found a seven, seven, eighty, eight. It is within the Chu Realm, and we have already searched for it three or four times. But the young man was still nowhere to be seen. Alas, it seems that this time the task of the division, you and I can not complete the master-apprentice. You're just waiting to get your punishment!"

“............”

"Xingyu, if there is anything you must tell the teacher in time. For the sake of the teacher, you have not shown a smile in the past few days. And from time to time, he frowned, looking worried. Seeing you like this, it's really heartbreaking to be a teacher, you know? ”

It was still tens of thousands of years ago, when the 'Zhao Emperor' of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in power, because the powerful ministers of the Chu State were in power, they used swords and soldiers in vain. 'Emperor Zhao' sent troops to the south several times, forcing the Chu people to migrate down the Danjiang River valley. It was not until the time of the 'Youhuang' of the Great Zhou Dynasty that a new capital was finally established in the "Dan and Xi Zhihui" in the lower reaches of the Danjiang River. Because the capital city is located in the north of Danshui, and the ancients said: "The south of the mountain and the north of the water are called the yang, and the north of the mountain and the south of the water is the yin". That's why the capital was named 'Danyang'.

An old man and a young man, both dressed in white robes, sat opposite each other in a restaurant called 'Songzhu Pavilion' in Danyang City. The old man has a fairy wind and bones, and the young man has sword eyebrows and starry eyes. Viewed from a distance, it seems that a monk from the Immortal Sect of the Spirit Sect somewhere in the world is playing with his apprentices to play Hongchen and hone his Dao heart. This old man and young man are the old man in the 'Wumen' and his 'good apprentice' He Xingyu.

The old man with fairy wind and bones seemed to be in a good mood, and he always looked happy. But the face of the disciple named He Xingyu is not good. frowned, and looked like he wanted to say something. The old man kept talking to the apprentice opposite, but the apprentice's expression on the opposite side became more and more twisted, and he never responded to the old man.

The old man seemed to have suddenly thought of something, stopped chattering about the young man, and instead looked at the furnishings of the Songzhu Pavilion with a playful face, and suddenly shouted loudly:

"Little two!

The second child of the Songzhu Pavilion hurriedly ran over, looked at the old man in front of him with a flattering face and said:

"Master Pei, what do you tell me to command?"

"Nothing, nothing. My master and apprentice will eat some food and drink and leave, you can go down! My master has me to serve, you don't need to be here anymore. He Xingyu didn't wait for his master to speak, and then spoke first.

The old man rolled his eyes at his apprentice and continued: "Hmph, Xiao Er! Since you are called Master Shengpei, you must know the identity of the old man. The old man still thinks that I have been away from Danyang City for too long this time, and the people in Danyang City have forgotten the old man!"

"I have never forgotten, I have never forgotten! Even if the villain eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, he will not dare to forget Master Pei! In terms of your reputation, the villain can serve here for a while, which is the supreme glory in the villain's life. Besides, your old man has worked hard for Da Chu, how dare I forget you for the subjects of Da Chu. How can I forget you!"

Xiao Er was also terrified at this time, sweating profusely. It must be known that even those civil and military officials who live in temples and halls in Dachu heard the name of 'Master Pei', and their voices changed, and Xiao Er dared to snub the old man in front of him, and hurriedly complimented him.

"Oh? It's rare that you can know the old man's hard work for Da Chu, which is commendable! But you yourself know that everyone in this pine and bamboo pavilion is sitting widely, how can you so loudly publicize the old man's hard work for Da Chu? The old man threw his head and spilled his blood for Da Chu all his life. Not to gain a good reputation, but because the old man really loves the country deeply. Therefore, in the future, Hugh mentioned to the outside world the various deeds of the old man who dedicated himself to the Chu State in his life, and the old man did not need the understanding and support of others. I just want to dedicate the light and heat of my old man's life to the Chu State. Alas, why do I often have tears in my eyes, because I love this land so much............"

He Xingyu's cheap master 'Master Pei' immediately smiled after hearing Xiao Er's words. said that he didn't let Xiao Er publicize it loudly, but his voice was getting higher and higher. Especially when it comes to working hard for Da Chu and dedicating his life, the whole person is already standing on the wine table, looking so impassioned. And in order to attract more people's attention, his voice is getting higher and higher. And He Xingyu's face was already flushed at this time, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Xiao Er's heart in front of him was also twitching, as if there were countless wild horses galloping in his heart, and countless beasts roaring. It's no wonder that this Lord Pei can make the ministers above the court talk about it, and he is really a brazen person. This 'Master Pei' can be so brazen and shameless, and he can still ignore the disgusting eyes of the people around him, which is simply a model of the 'shameless world'. But Xiao Er also slandered in his heart, and dared to show it on his face, and hurriedly piled up a smiling face, and said to Master Pei:

"What Master Pei said is that it is indeed a villain who is too talkative, and the villain will definitely not dare to publicize your old man's great achievements in the public in the future. But you keep calling me here, but what do you command?"

When Master Pei heard Xiao Er's words, his expression froze, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. Instead, he looked at Xiao Er with a tangled face.

"Master Pei, why does your old man keep staring at me?"

The face of the little second in the Songzhu Pavilion was terrified, and he was about to kneel down for Master Pei. What Xiao Er thought in his heart was, could it be that this Master Pei thought that he was smart and clever, and wanted to get him an errand? Anyone who had the slightest relationship with Master Pei, even if he was not dead, had to shed his skin. Thinking of this, Xiao Er was not afraid. Xiao Er was born and raised in Danyang City, and the only one he has seen who has been in contact with Master Pei and is still alive is He Xingyu, who is sitting opposite Lord Pei. But seeing He Xingyu's face was red and purple at this time, his head was lowered, and his eyes were staring straight at the ground. It should have been seriously injured by many enemies of Master Pei, and he may die soon.

Just as Xiao Er was about to kneel on the ground and shout for mercy, Master Pei spoke:

"The old man thought you were smart and clever, but why did you suddenly become stupid? The old man just said that he would not let you preach, that was a modest statement. If you don't publicize the old man's many contributions to the Chu State. Therefore, in order to prevent the destruction of the Chu State, to protect the peace of the Chu State, to carry out love and truth, and to eliminate all evil. In order to let Chu have more people who care about the people, more noble people, more pure people, more moral people, and more people who are free from low-level interests. You should hype up the old man's great achievements to Da Chu, so that more people can learn from the old man!"

"Xiao Er, go down! My master drank more wine today, so you don't have to take his words to heart. He Xingyu couldn't bear it anymore, so he hurriedly waved his hand and sent Xiao Er away.

When Xiao Er heard this, he was like being amnestied, and he fled like a smoke. The hustle and bustle in the Songzhu Pavilion also stopped, leaving only this awkward pair of master and apprentice and a few tables of diners.

"Xingyu, why did you let Xiao Er go down? Seeing that you have been sullen for several days, the master is trying to call him over and call a few Qingguan for our master and apprentice. It is said that when our master and apprentice were not in Danyang City, a few women came to this Songzhu Pavilion. Known as 'Danyang Bayan', piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers, and tea each occupy a must. If the eight of you are together, you will be able to smile. Who knew that you, a rebel, were so puzzled that you actually sent the little two away. ”

He Xingyu's master 'Master Pei' was also annoyed at this time.

"Master, do you know why the apprentice has been depressed for the past few days?"

"Why?"

"Our master and apprentice have been looking for someone for the past two months. But where did you take me to find it? Yihong Courtyard, Qunfang Building, and Baihua Building! That young man named Winter Solstice, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, had already stepped through the 'first awakening' and entered the realm of 'spiritual awakening'. ”

“.................. Listen to the teacher's explanation. ”

"Master, you don't need to explain anything to me, since I have already said this today, I will say it directly. Didn't you see that the apprentice never smiled? If you could return all the gold and silver that our master and apprentice had spent in the past two months, to the apprentice. Even if it's only half of it, the disciple will immediately smile. ”

"Hmph! That's what you're thinking. The teacher asks you, is the Oiran of Yihong Courtyard big? Is the fragrance of the Qingqi in Qunfanglou fragrant, and is the old bustard in Baihualou playing? You have already enjoyed it, how can there be any reason to ask for money for the teacher? Besides, the apprentice's filial piety to the master is the greatest truth in heaven and earth, and the prince of heaven and earth is not worthy of your respect. ”

"My day%¥#¥%¥¥¥#%Master! The Oiran of Yihong Courtyard is indeed big, and the Qingqi of Qunfang Building is indeed fragrant. But you didn't let me in! Didn't you say that the wind was gusting inside, and I didn't know what to enter? Let me squat outside the Baihualou and wait for you, and you went in alone to look for someone. And what do you mean by playing or not? Your old man went in but came out with a fart, how do you know that the old bustard of Baihualou is playing? Where is it playing? And why do you remember the old bustard? The disciple suddenly thought that when he was looking for the 'light chasing technique' in Dongtu, the pregnancy of those old women who were over eighty years old must have been done by you" He Xingyu completely lost control when he heard Baihualou, and questioned his cheap master repeatedly.

"I also day %¥¥......%¥%...... Why did the old man accept such a wicked animal as you in the first place! The old man will kill you today!"

When Lord Na Pei heard the disciple's repeated questions, it seemed that he had touched his own sore feet, and his heart suddenly became excited. Especially when I heard the apprentice say that after entering the Baihua Building, he just came out with a fart, which is simply the biggest insult to a man. Before his words fell, Master Pei had already moved his hand against his obedient disciple. The Songzhu Pavilion was boiling again, and the sound of begging for mercy resonated with the sound of fighting, so it was not lively.

"Yo! Isn't this Master Pei?What's the matter, why did you beat your filial apprentice again?" Just when Master Pei was playing hard, a middle-aged man walked into the Songzhu Pavilion.

Master Pei stopped what he was doing, and when he saw the person in front of him, he said with a smile: "Master Wu, aren't you supposed to be waiting by Jingyang's side at this time, why did you appear in this Danyang City? ”

The middle-aged man named Wu Hongbin may have left Danyang City for too long and forgot the moral standard and difficulty of Master Pei. After listening to Master Pei's words, he suddenly felt as if he had eaten a piece of, and he really shouldn't greet the old man in front of him.

"Why don't you speak? others still think that the old man stole your daughter-in-law?"

Wu Hongbin's face was also difficult to look at at this time, and the old man in front of him was a good match. Why did he make a cheap mouth and provoke such a bad star. He felt as if he had just eaten a piece of, but because he was in too much of a hurry to eat, he vomited it again. It's disgusting to the extreme.

"Pei Qi, I respect you for your elders, but you don't want to talk nonsense and let others listen to it, where is the face of my spiritual destiny?" Wu Hongbin was also angry at this time.

"Pei Qi is what you can call too, you disrespectful rabbit cub. Even your master, Jingyang, needs to be accompanied by a smiling face in front of me! What kind of thing are you? You also deserve to talk to me about face? Face is not given by anyone, but earned by yourself. As for the face of the Spiritual Division, most of it was also earned by the old man, and you deserve to talk to the old man about the face of the Spiritual Division! The old man has never seen such a brazen person, you have lived in vain for more than 30 years, and you have not made an inch of merit in your life. A dog with a broken spine can wag its tail in front of Jingyang and beg for mercy, but it really shouldn't bark in front of the old man. ”

Xiao Er hid to the side and watched, and his heart was also shocked. I don't know where I've already practiced, but with today's words. If it is a shrew scolding the street, it can also be regarded as a practice, and the cultivation of this Pei Daren must be overwhelming the world, and the world is invincible.

Looking at the middle-aged man named Wu Hongbin again, there were already a few wisps of green smoke floating above his head. It seems that he is really angry, he is a celebrity around King Xiang and Jingyang, and he has suffered such a wretched spirit there. The old man in front of him was like a hedgehog with a thorn, and he couldn't do it. If he did it, he was no match for the old man. If he is reasonable, the old man in front of him is not a person who is willing to be reasonable. Even if you make trouble with King Xiang or Jingyang, you will definitely suffer. After thinking about it, tears were about to flow out. But there is no way, the old man in front of him is simply a fresh mudslide in the Chu State, and no one can cure it. After Wu Hongbin thought about it, he turned around and left, without even looking back. This Songzhu Pavilion, he will never come again in his life.

"Happy, I haven't seen anyone who dares to talk to the old man for many years! This chat is really refreshing! This Wu Hongbin is really a good person, and when he saw that the old man was depressed, he came to explain! What a good person! Xingyu, respect the old and love the young, you have to learn more from that Wu Hongbin. ”

The hearts of the people were numb at this time. A good man? Respect the old and love the young? And learn from him? That's not what your old gentleman said just now? Just now he said that the middle-aged man was a dog with a broken backbone, and now he is a good man who respects the old and loves the young. This old man's style of acting is really novel!

"Since the master has been dissipated, then let's go back to the division as soon as possible! The apprentice knows his mistake, and he will definitely not mention the matter between you and the old bustard in the Baihua Building in the future, and all the gold and silver spent will be counted on the apprentice!" He Xingyu was probably really enlightened, and no longer provoked his cheap master, but persuaded him with good words.

"Alas, my good son, why should you suffer from this flesh and skin, and how do you know the heartache of being a teacher? If it hits you, it hurts in my heart! You can eat some more wine and food here, and you can go back to the division to recover your life for the teacher. ”

Master Pei looked at the apprentice at his feet with a sad face at this time, and those who didn't know really thought that he was a good teacher and was teaching the stubborn apprentice Dun Dun. After saying that, Master Pei turned around and left. At this time, He Xingyu understood the intention of the master, and most likely he was the one who paid for this meal.

Chu State, Spiritual Division, Master Pei and another old man sat on the ground

"Senior Brother Pei is sure that young man has entered the Barbarian Mountain Sect?"

"The old man calculates with the witch gate's 'Fu Ping Secret Technique', and he will definitely not make a mistake!"

"There are seven mountains in the Manshan Sect, which are intimidating to the world from ancient times to the present. There are seven branches in this Manshan Sect, can Senior Brother Pei know which one that young man has entered?"

"'Tianshu' and 'Shaking Light' two courts, this son will enter one of them!"

"Most of this son has entered the shaking light, and the disciples in the Heavenly Courtyard are all practicing 'Ziwei Doushu'. At this time, the sky is killing, and the stars are lurking. There are even more unknown terrifying existences that cover the thousands of stars in this square sky. Even if you enter Tianshu, you will definitely not be able to learn at this time. Therefore, this son should have entered the Shaking Light Temple. Before Senior Brother Pei returned to Sili, had you ever seen King Chu?"

"I have never been to see the king of Chu. How is the king of Chu these days? Can the reckless envoy keep to himself?"

"Senior Brother Pei is too worried, and the reckless envoy is still an interesting person, and he has not angered the king of Chu. It's just that there have been rumors in the palace recently, saying that Jingyang and King Chu have become estranged because of the young man's affairs. ”

"It's so good, my Wumen does not participate in the state affairs of the Chu State, especially the dispute with the national fortunes of Da Mang. Unless the state of Chu is in danger of being overturned, Wumen will never make a move. ”

The Pei people in the secret room of the Spirit Division and the appearance in the Shochiku Pavilion today are like two people. There is no frolicking in the past, and the monstrous momentum of the body is even more terrifying. And when the old man sitting with him was talking to him, he seemed to have great respect for this Master Pei. But for some reason, this Lord Pei's expression was a cold look that rejected people thousands of miles away. The words are also quite cold.

"Senior Brother Pei doesn't need to be like this, you have really wronged you by joining my Spiritual Division. But don't worry, since the King of Chu has agreed to the conditions of Wumen on that day, he will definitely not forget it. The old man saw that Master Pei still looked cold, and he was also a little helpless.

"You don't need to be a senior brother, since you left the Wumen, the day you founded the Spiritual Division for the King of Chu, the friendship between you and me has disappeared. Hmph, although the king of Chu is a masterpiece, the future is ............. ”

"Later, I'll talk about it later. Senior Brother Pei's peace of mind is, or that sentence. As soon as the king's order comes out, heaven and earth will learn together. Senior Brother Pei's senior apprentice, if he can really ascend to the throne in the future, even the King of Chu will definitely bow his head and lower his eyebrows, and he will never hesitate. ”

"The ancestor of the Chu State, 'Ji Lian', is the fifth grandson of the Emperor Zhuan, and the emperor's bloodline is naturally blessed by his luck, and it is even more difficult to find. But the old man of Ji Lian's relics already has some eyebrows, so he asked the king of Chu to relax. ”

The old man opposite Senior Brother Pei was excited at this time, Ji Lian's relics were the treasures of the Chu Kingdom, and he had been looking for countless years, who knew that he really had some eyebrows today, how not to make him ecstatic.

"Senior Brother Pei is worthy of being called a person in Zhongxing by the door, he has such magical powers, I don't know how Senior Brother Pei learned the news of Ji Lian's relics, can Da Chu do anything?"

Master Pei sneered when he heard this, and said slowly:

"People of Zhongxing? The gods in the sky shouldn't be, why talk about Zhongxing? Now that you have left the sect, you will not mention the matter of Wumen to the old man in the future. The treasures of that season were mostly related to the Manshan Sect. ”

"Is it related to the Manshan Mountain, which courtyard in the Manshan Sect, can Senior Brother Pei know?"

"Not any of the seven branches in the Barbarian Mountain Sect!"

"What do you mean by what Senior Brother Pei said? You said that it is related to the Manshan Sect, but it is not any of the seven branches?"

At this time, the old man was also confused in his heart, and he didn't know what Senior Brother Pei meant.

"Alas, the mountains are secret, and there are very few people in the world who know about them. Do you know the names of the seven branches of this Barbarian Mountain Sect in the 'Qingning Daotian'?"

"Tianshu Branch, Tianxuan Branch, Tianji Branch, Tianquan Branch, Yuheng Branch, Kaiyang Branch, Yaoguang Branch. Senior Brother Pei's intentions, could it be that there are still any secrets in the Seven Courtyards of this Barbarian Mountain?"

"The Seven Courtyards of the Barbarian Mountain correspond to the seven of the names of the stars where the Nine Emperor Star Monarchs live. Nine Star Monarchs, why do you only take seven of them? Have you ever thought about the true meaning of this?"

"Listening to what Senior Brother Pei said, there are still two branches in the Manshan Sect, but according to the records of the Wumen, Mo said that there are still two branches, and even the known seven branches are also trying their best to hide in the world, and they have not manifested in the world for nearly 10,000 years. Wouldn't the two unknown branches be even more unknown?"

"In addition to the seven known branches, let's say that these two branches that no one knows about must have hidden secrets in the world. And Ji Lian's relics must be hidden in one of them. ”

"Senior Brother Pei, can you guess which of the two branches Ji Lian's relics is?"

"The ancient book "Astronomical Chronicles" recorded: 'Bi Xing. Those who say that they are empty are often hidden. The main change is not in the way, the seventh star is right, and it is not seen. 'This Bi Star corresponds to the Hidden Yuan Star, the ninth of the Nine Emperor Star Monarchs. If there are nine courtyards in the mountain, it will definitely be called the Hidden Yuan Temple. The old man calculated with the 'Fu Ping Secret Technique' that most of the treasures in this season have entered the hidden yuan. ”

"The Manshan Sect has not manifested in the world for nearly 10,000 years, how can we figure it out?" At this time, the old man had gradually calmed down, such a sect as the Manshan Sect. Don't say that it is the Chu State, even if the people in these five domains gather in the Manshan Mountain, it is not necessarily that the Manshan Sect will raise its eyelids. The old man used to be a member of the Wumen, and he had also read a lot of the codex notes of the sages of the Wumen, and he also knew the difference between the Manshan Sect and the rest of the sects. Thinking of this time, I felt a little more unwilling in my heart.

"The old man is alone in Danyang City, the old man is very uneasy in his heart, if something goes wrong, no one in the Chu country can afford to offend. As for Ji Lian's relics, you don't need to worry about it, since the old man has promised the king of Chu, he will definitely do his best. All you need to do is ask the King of Chu to be ready to promise the old man's things!"

After Master Pei finished speaking, he got up and left, leaving the old man sitting opposite him to smile bitterly. Just out of the mansion of the Spiritual Division, he said that he was not worried about his precious apprentice, and he wanted to find the apprentice quickly. But as he walked, he walked into a famous green building in Danyang City, but after a while, the laughter of Master Pei came from inside again.
