The night is deep, and the moon is like a mirror.

Xie Yuanzhong sent people to send Yu Shuang and the others away, and warned a few words about Yijian Villa, and everyone went to rest.

Xie Yuanzhong was the only one left in the main hall at the moment, his brows were slightly furrowed, his face looked a little anxious, he was pacing back and forth on the main hall of the main hall, and a pair of eyes looked at the square outside the door from time to time, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

The moonlight is as cool as water, faintly sprinkled on the Yijian Villa, and the clouds and mist are steaming on the square outside the main hall, and the fairy atmosphere is permeated. The people who were still talking and laughing in the square had already gone to bed at this moment.

After a while, a white light did come from the sky and landed on the square. Xie Yuanzhong's expression was stunned, and he quickly got up and walked out.

As soon as the white light landed, it showed a human form, and in the bright moonlight, this person was wearing a black and white Yijian Villa costume, with hair like silver frost, white eyebrows and white beard, and it was actually Lu Hua, the master of the Qingqi Hall.

Lu Hua hurriedly greeted him, walked to the door of the main hall, and said respectfully to Xie Yuanzhong: "Senior brother." ”

Xie Yuanzhong frowned, and said hurriedly: "Come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Lu Hua heard the sound and walked into the hall, Xie Yuanzhong waved his sleeves, and the door of the hall was closed by himself.

The two walked quickly to the top of the main hall of the main hall, Xie Yuanzhong turned around with his hands in his hands, with a little annoyance on his face, and said slightly angrily: "Senior brother, it's not for my brother to say you, why can't you do this little thing?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Lu Hua's face, and he bowed his head and said: "Senior brother blames that everything was originally planned, but unexpectedly, a Pan Xincheng appeared, although this sub-Dao method is only in the Six Realms, but the Dao method he practices is deviant, and it is really only seen in his life." was forced to fight with him for several rounds, and was afraid that he would not reveal his identity, so he was almost injured by him. Saying this, he sighed slowly and said in a low voice: "If you don't do your job well, you are willing to be punished." ”

A trace of exhaustion flashed on Lu Hua's face, he waved his hand slightly, and said in a sad voice: "That's it, in this way, you can't be blamed for this matter." He raised his head as he spoke, with a little resentment in his tone, and hissed: "Is it destined that God will never have the day when my Yijian Villa will never come out?"

Lu Hua pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "As for the matter of stealing the sword, as long as the 'blood spirit' has not returned to the mountain, there will be a turnaround, and we can think about it in the long run." ”

Xie Yuanzhong was furious: "This is the hinterland of my Yijian Villa, if you steal the sword here, wouldn't it be clear that we are thieves?"

Lu Hua hurriedly said: "Senior brother is angry, what I mean is that when this matter is over, on their way back to the mountain, we can discuss it again." ”

Xie Yuanzhong glared angrily, and drank: "If the old trick is repeated, how can they not take precautions? If my identity is revealed, my Yijian Villa will be ruined, and the old man's lifelong wish is to revitalize the villa and rank among the five noble paths, do you want the Yijian Villa to be destroyed in the hands of the old man?"

Lu incarnate was shocked, lowered his head and didn't dare to say more.

Xie Yuanzhong looked at Lu Hua for a long time, finally sighed slowly, calmed down a little, and said slowly: "Seeking skin with the tiger, after all, Huangliang has a dream, and this matter can be stopped." ”

Lu Hua stood at the foot of the steps of the main hall, arched his hand and said in a low voice: "Yes, everything is arranged by the senior brother." ”

The audience was quiet for a while, Xie Yuanzhong slowly walked to the main seat and sat down, waved his hand to Lu Hua, and said lightly: "Come and sit." ”

Lu Hua nodded, walked up the steps, and sat down beside Xie Yuanzhong.

Xie Yuanzhong pondered for a moment, a trace of guilt flashed on his face, and he suddenly turned his head to Lu Hua and said, "Shicai's old words are a little excessive, please don't care." ”

Lu Hua smiled faintly and said: "I understand the senior brother, the senior brother shoulders the rise and fall of my Yijian Villa, I have worked hard for many years, but I have never been able to rank in the forefront, and the heart of being a senior brother is impatient, and the senior brother can also see it." ”

Xie Yuanzhong smiled slightly, took a cup of tea on the coffee table next to him and handed it to Lu Hua, and said slowly: "Among all the junior brothers, only Senior Brother Lu is the most far-sighted, and the old man does not hesitate to take great risks, why not to comfort the spirit of the master in the sky? The old man is already a hundred years old, I don't know how many more days he can live? But in order to revive my Yijian Villa, the old man has a bright and upright life, and today he has to do the thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs, and the old man's heart is like a thousand arrows piercing the heart, junior brother, do you understand the good intentions of the old man?"

Lu Hua took the teacup, sighed slowly, a trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and said straightforwardly: "Senior brother's intentions have long been understood, if the senior brother can be trusted, even if he is in the future, he is willing to assist the senior brother, and he will do his best for my Yijian Villa, and then die." ”

Xie Yuanzhong quietly looked at this junior brother who was almost his right-hand man, his eyes flashed, he groaned for a while, and said in a low voice: "Brother Fool is naturally trustworthy to his junior brother, there is a matter that has not been mentioned to anyone, tell the junior brother today, but this matter can only be known to you and me, and it must not reach the ears of the third person." ”

Lu Hua frowned, and said lightly: "Please show me senior brother, and keep your mouth shut before you make up your mind." ”

Xie Yuanzhong pondered for a moment, as if he was considering his words, and leaned over to Lu Hua for a while, and said in a low voice: "A few days ago, someone from the Demon Dao sent a secret letter who was willing to help me Yijian Villa rank among the five major factions of the Righteous Path. ”

Lu Hua was shocked when he heard this, and said in amazement: "What?...... Demon Dao!"

Xie Yuanzhong picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said slowly: "Exactly." ”

Lu Hua was stunned, and looked at the senior brother he respected the most in his life in disbelief, opening his mouth slightly, but he couldn't make a sound.

Xie Yuanzhong's expression was calm, he seemed to have expected that this upright-hearted junior brother would definitely be hit by a thunderbolt after learning about this. He drank tea slowly, and did not interrupt Lu Hua's thoughts, as if he was slowly waiting for Lu Hua's mood to stabilize.

Lu Hua's face was pale, and the expression in his eyes was complicated, with astonishment, surprise, and shock.

After a long time, Lu Hua slowly came back to his senses, there were old tears in his eyes, and his tone was unusually calm, which seemed to hide his heart as if he was surging with thousands of waves, and said slowly: "I didn't expect you to collude with the devil, senior brother, it's really ...... It's really a big disappointment. ”

Xie Yuanzhong's white eyebrows furrowed slightly, looked at him lightly, and said slowly: "Senior brother, please imagine, I am already almost a hundred years old, God knows how long I can live again? What's wrong with colluding with the Demon Sect? As long as I can revitalize my Yijian Villa, it's not a pity to die of old decay. ”

Lu Hua looked at Xie Yuanzhong quietly, he never felt that today's senior brother was so far away from him, so far away that it would be difficult to reach in this life.

He slowly stood up, the old tears in his eyes slid down, he looked at Xie Yuanzhong in a daze, and said faintly: "Senior brother, do you know, what are you talking about?"

Xie Yuanzhong's expression was firm, and he said resolutely: "The old man is old, for the sake of the villa in a hundred years, even if it is against the world, I can't care so much." ”

Lu Hua had a thousand words in his heart, but he saw that Xie Yuanzhong's expression was firm, almost unshakable, he opened his mouth, the pain in his eyes was overflowing, but he never said a word.

At the end, he slowly arched his hand towards Xie Yuanzhong, and said sadly: "When the master was alive, it seems that the senior brother has forgotten everything about the teachings, or not, I will never get acquainted with the owner of Xie Zhuang, and I hope that the owner of the village will do it himself." Without saying a word, he turned and walked out the door.

"Hall Master Lu is really temperamental, can you ask the hall master to stay and chat with the old man?"

Behind him, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly sounded, Lu Hua stopped, frowned, and thought about it in his heart, but it was an unusually unfamiliar voice.

Lu Hua turned around to look, but saw a man wrapped in black lift the curtain in the back hall and walk out of it.

Lu Hua's brows furrowed, and the light in his eyes flashed, and he looked at this uninvited guest carefully. I saw that his whole body was wrapped in black, and he had a hat on his head, and a faint black veil hung down along the edges of the hat, covering his mysterious face.

And his body seems to be faintly exuding a faint black aura, which looks quite weird.

I saw him say as he walked: "The person who knows the times is Junjie, Xie Zhuangism is talking and touching, how can Hall Master Lu be so rude?"

With a loud roar, Lu Hua sacrificed his magic weapon, and a silver-white earth immortal sword burst out from the crack in the ground and stood in front of him.

The fairy sword was shining silver, bright and dazzling.

The man in black walked to the top of the main hall, faced him, and suddenly stroked his palm: "Good sword, Hall Master Lu's 'Ice Gathering Immortal Sword' really lives up to its reputation." ”

Lu Hua's brows were furrowed, a pair of slightly dry eyes looked at the man in black coldly, and said coldly: "Your Excellency is so angry, can you report your name." ”

The man in black spoke in a light tone, his demeanor was calm, and he didn't have the current appearance of the enemy, and said with a smile: "It's okay to tell you, the old man, the master of the 'Ying Palace', Emperor Xuan is also!"

A trace of consternation flashed in Lu Hua's eyes, his gaze wandered away from the man in black for a moment, and then his face showed an unconcealable sadness and heartache, and his gaze slowly moved to Xie Yuanzhong.

Xie Yuanzhong had a look of hesitation on his face, but he didn't say anything after all.

Lu Hua was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled sadly, he stretched out his hand and slowly grasped the hilt of the 'Bing Ji' Immortal Sword, and the Immortal Sword rose sharply, reflecting the entire hall.

The man in black stood with his hands in his hands and said coldly: "It seems that you are unwilling to submit?"

Lu Hua sneered, looked at Xie Yuanzhong, and said awe-inspiringly: "If you want me to betray the righteous path and disobey the teacher's orders, although the old decay will die!

"Well said, so courageous!" Emperor Xuan stroked his palms and smiled, and exclaimed: "I can't imagine that the old man is old, but this pride is very admired by the old man, so come over and let the old man understand the 'god-killing style' of Yijian Villa."

Lu Hua's eyes took one last look at Xie Yuanzhong, his face was firm, and he took seven steps in a row with the sword in his hand, and stabbed towards Emperor Xuan.

Emperor Xuan opened his arms and shouted loudly: "Heavenly ghosts destroy hearts!"

In the entire hall, the black gas was filled, and the thick black gas cut off the line of sight, and Lu was incarnated in the black qi, completely unable to see the things around him.

As if the space had changed, he held his sword in his hand, carefully observing all the movements around him, but he couldn't tell where the man in black was.

Suddenly, he was inexplicably in a dark night of thunder and lightning, the bleak wind and bitter rain hit the ground sprinkled, thunder and lightning crossed the sky, reflecting the earth.

By the light between the electric light and flint, it turned out that he was standing in an endless pool of blood, cold and piercing. The smell of blood all around him seemed to pervade.

His face changed drastically, his stomach was like a storm crashing on the shore, as if something had rushed to his throat, his body swayed, kneeling in a pool of blood, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out and sprinkled on the black and white Yijian Villa costume.

His face turned red, but he didn't want to be still, he stood up strongly, his eyes looked left and right, the place he was in was like a dream, but the bloody aura that seducted the heart was so real.

But in Xie Yuanzhong's eyes, everything was as usual in the hall, and he saw his junior brother Lu Hua kneeling on the ground and spitting blood, his face like ashes.

Xie Yuanzhong saw Lu Hua's painful expression, and when he thought of the same door, he finally felt a little unbearable in his heart, and said to Emperor Xuan: "Honorable driver, junior brother is already old, can you look at the old thin face and let him live?"
