Chapter Twenty-Five: The Man on the Mountain, The Thing Under the Mountain

After listening to Xie Lu's words, the second elder in the ink robe lifted the delicate white jade hair crown on his bun, and turned to face the hall.

Turning slightly with his bare hands, there was an extra folding fan in the hands of the second elder.

"It's also the friendship of the landlord, don't let me sit?" the second elder said in front of him.

On the main seat, Xie Lu was as quiet as a virgin, her eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the man in the audience.

Seeing Xie Lu's expression, the second elder was not annoyed, picked up a direction at random, and stepped forward.

Sitting on the chair, the second elder pinched the handle of the fan on the fingertips of his three fingers, and the end of the fan was placed diagonally on his lips, revealing a corner of his lips. I saw that the corners of the lips were slightly upturned, and before I could see it clearly, the folding fan slowly opened a section, and when I landed, I covered half of my handsome face, and only a pair of black peach blossom eyes looked at Xie Lu.

"What kind of stunningly romantic do you say you are selling me?" Xie Lu rolled his eyes for a while.

Removing the mask fan, the second elder's mouth slowly opened.

"A few days ago, I went down the mountain and went to Qingyun County once. ”

Xie Lu's mind tightened.

"I thought that I was debauched and drunk on the knees of the beauty today, but the spring breeze was proud, and the horse lost its hoof and was arrested by the government. The second elder looked at the jade floor tiles under his feet and shook his fan.

Xie Lu did not speak.

The second elder seemed to have expected it, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"I heard that a newly promoted county official personally led someone to arrest him, eh, what's it called..."The second elder folded his fan slightly and tapped his forehead.

"Oh yes, the surname is Chen, let's call Master Chen. This Lord Chen really can't get it, the new official took office with three fires, and this first one will burn to me" The second elder opened the folding fan again and began to shake.

Fanning the flames, nothing more.

Xie Lu's eyebrows were obviously confused when he heard the words Chen, and his eyes were a little hot.

"Second Elder, how did you solve this matter?" Xie Lu said.

The second elder no longer looked down at the soles of his feet, stopped folding the fan in his hand, and placed it on the stone table beside him.

"What else can I do, but I just walked two miles and was pressed into the official mansion" The second elder looked back at Xie Lu, and his smile was even stronger.

"You don't know the way the young woman in the show looks at me..."

Xie Lu didn't seem to hear the man's words, and said in a straight voice: "I'm asking after you enter the official mansion!"

"Hey, sister fairy, don't be angry, you're angry. The second elder's face was relieved.

Xie Lu was silent and looked directly at the man.

The second elder looked down at the jade bricks at the soles of his feet again.

"Lord Chen said that according to the law of the dynasty, he should be punished with fifty sticks to set an example. If the family suffers from wives and children, they will be immediately assigned to the border to fill the army. Tsk, it's miserable," the second elder paused.

"I saw that those five big and three thick officials were about to beat me with big sticks, and you said that my weak body and bones could not withstand the beating of that thing, and I immediately asked him, do you know who I am? ”

"Master Chen said that he didn't know Xiaosheng. In fact, this is normal, the new officials are busy counting the money, how can they go through the old account books of Qingyun County," the second elder said with a calm expression.

"I recommended myself and told the truth to Master Chen. Alas, I thought that these few words of mine could help me ask for a favor, but who would have thought that this Lord Chen was really iron-faced and selfless!"

As he spoke, the second elder looked at Xie Lu with a bitter expression.

Xie Lu's face was expressionless, but there were waves in his heart.

"Before I could react, a few sticks were aimed at me and knocked down..."The Second Elder smiled mysteriously.

"Qingxiaozi!How dare you!!"

Xie Lu suddenly stood up from the main seat, his face full of hideousness.

"What are you angry about... Haven't I finished talking yet, haven't I" Qing Xiaozi seemed to be a little unreasonable, lowered his head and continued to look at the soles of his feet.

Turning the root of the foot slightly, cracks appeared on the jade floor tiles.

"You said that the floor tiles under your feet are a little awkward?"

Xie Lu's eyes widened with anger, and his body faintly exuded true qi fluctuations.

"Eh, the five elders, the sect rules prohibit fighting with the same sect, you and I are elders, and we should lead by example" Qing Xiaozi talked and laughed freely, dragged the folding fan in the air, and held it lightly in the palm of his hand.

"Say!" Xie Lu's expression was serious, and a word burst out of his mouth.

"Then I'll just say it" Qing Xiaozi opened the folding fan again, posing as a storyteller.

"I see that stick is going to hit me, and I must protect myself, but don't worry, I was just shocked, and I didn't die. The appointment of this new official is a day of great joy in Qingyun County, how can it be happy and worried, it is reasonable and unbearable. ”

"But that Lord Chen made Xiao Sheng a little impressed, and he was all shocked to the ground, and he didn't forget to ask someone to capture me. What do you say, what are you trying to capture the thief, I'm so romantic, the thief?"

Qing Xiaozi pinched his handsome face, this joke is too big.

"Remember that you are an immortal master! immortal cultivators don't disturb the affairs of the world!" Xie Lu looked at Qing Xiaozi who was smiling and reminded solemnly.

Qing Xiaozi spread his hands innocently and got up to leave the seat.

Walking back and forth in the hall, Qingxiaozi is bored, this is talking about things on the mountain, how is it a little boring.

Xie Lu looked at the scholar man strolling in front of him, and his eyes sank.

"Second Elder, you are also a gentleman, how could you do such a domineering thing?"

"Yes..."Qing Xiaozi stopped, the tip of the fan slightly pressed against his chin.

"A gentleman of words, warm as jade. Your bookseller is angry!" Xie Lu sneered.

"I don't want to, I don't want to dirty my hands. Qingxiaozi was helpless and pushed the fan to cover his face.

"But..."Qing Xiaozi changed his words and put down the face covering fan again.

"A gentleman of words, Wen Qiyi. I still care a lot about Qingyun County, but there are a few disobedient mice here, and education and education should be, otherwise we are cats, but we are too aggrieved. ”

"You say... Isn't it!" Qing Xiaozi looked at Xie Lu on the main throne from afar.

Xie Lu said silently.

"Besides, Lord Chen is the childhood sweetheart of the five elders, and I can't do it" Qing Xiaozi deliberately accentuated the tone on the four words of childhood sweetheart, teasing Xie Lu.

"Qingxiaozi!"

With Xie Lu's loud shout, the true qi on Xie Lu's body suddenly appeared, and a true qi turned into a dream butterfly, shooting straight into Qing Xiaozi's chest!

"No wonder I don't even want to be good-looking, this time the Sleepwalking Immortal is amazing" Qing Xiaozi took two steps back sharply, threw a folding fan with one hand, and formed an invisible barrier in front of him, blocking the dream butterfly.

Unloading Xie Lu's attack, Qing Xiaozi held the folding fan that was stuck in the air and fanned it.

"Okay, okay, you can't beat me, and besides, I've done it, what do you want to do? Now that you've chosen the Immortal Dao, the avenue is ruthless, you should know better than me. Qingxiaozi is colorful.

"You!" Xie Lu looked sad and angry.

"Xie Lu, you are a god-transforming monk, not a warbler Yanyan who has just stepped into the immortal path! I knew that there would be today, why bother pursuing the immortal path in the first place!" Qing Xiaozi's tone increased.

Xie Lu was sad and sat down on the main seat.

Yes, it was I who was willing to cultivate this sleepwalking immortal at the beginning, and I was willing to give up my love and feelings in the world, why should I miss these things that don't exist in my mind now. If you don't inquire about your life and deeds after you go to Qingyun Sect, you don't care so much about the mundane things of the past. Perhaps, I will be better now.

Sometimes being sober is the wrong start.

Looking at the haggard Xie Lu on the main seat, Qing Xiaozi closed the fan in his hand and held it up, like a pen walking a dragon.

"Today, Qingxiaozi came here on the order of the sect master to warn the five elders that Qingyun County will be ordered to make a major change at the end of the year. One of them is involved, and it is the heart of the five elders, so please remember that Xie Lugui is the fifth elder of the Qingyun Sect, not the so-called Xianshan Ye Xiu, let alone Xie Lu of Qingyun County!!"

Qing Xiaozi said in one sentence the purpose of coming to wash Sword Peak this time.

"Won't the imperial court come forward to stop you..."Xie Lu, who was sitting on the main seat, turned pale and said his last breath.

"A Qingyun County and Bapin County official, an abandoned child on the chessboard, no pain or itching" Qingxiaozi couldn't help but glance at the cracked ground in front of the seat.

It is clear which is strong and which is weak.

...

Xie Lu stopped talking and looked out of the door in a daze.

In fact, Xie Lu secretly left Qingyun Sect at night.

Go to Qingyun County, where thousands of lights are lit.

Looking through the eaves and alleys, Xie Lu landed in front of a door with a plaque of Chen's house.

Xie Lu didn't dare to knock on the door.

got up and flew up to the eaves, and Xie Lu landed next to the study.

In the study, the man stood in front of the desk with the lamp.

On a piece of rice paper, it is full of ink.

"Thick ink is difficult to touch the heart, how to send lovesickness on a cold night, there is a time of silence, and a time of thought"
