Chapter 152: What if it's Emei?
Xia Qinghe left, walking very cleanly.
His figure was slightly rickety, and it was obvious that there was something that he couldn't let go of for a while.
But he walked so fast that he didn't even look back, and he was afraid that as soon as he turned around, he wouldn't be able to go.
Xiao Qianli understood his feelings, a fledgling who grew up together since childhood, was not a brother but was better than a brother, and had always been attached to his wings, and suddenly soared into the sky, growing into an eagle that he could no longer protect and could no longer protect. This kind of psychological gap is actually somewhat similar to parents watching their adult children about to travel far away.
The incomparably precious Huitian Pill was stuffed into Li Chengyuan's mouth, and he quickly woke up, looking at the distant back, his lips squirmed, but he didn't say anything.
When Lu Wuyi relayed Xia Qinghe's words before leaving to Li Chengyuan, he was uncharacteristically silent.
"Master!" he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed heavily.
Xiao Qianli looked at him quietly, but with a gentle smile on his face.
"The disciple had a realization in his heart and wanted to return to the Pure Yang Palace for a period of retreat, so he begged the master to agree. ”
Xiao Qianli smiled and said: "Now that your heart knot is gone, you naturally need to stabilize your state of mind." In addition, remember that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and martial arts cultivation needs to be tempered slowly by civil and martial fire, and you must not rush it. ”
Li Chengyuan kowtowed a few more times, stood up and asked, "Disciple understands, does Master have anything else to explain?"
Xiao Qianli thought for a while and said with a smile: "That Confucian Mu Qingyu is still in Liufu to recuperate, when you go back to the mountain, you will bring it back to Chunyang by the way and hand it over to Elder Xie." As for the prescription I prescribed to him to clear the mind and calm the mind, although it is estimated that the symptoms are not right, but long-term use still has some effects, and some medicinal materials are only afraid that they are not easy to buy in Taiping Town, so you let Suifeng prepare more for you. ”
Li Chengyuan nodded, turned over on his horse with his war gun, and went straight with a puff of smoke and dust.
Seeing Li Chengyuan walking away, Cheng Juncai walked up with a sword and shield, and said with a smile: "Master, the third senior brother has returned to the mountain, where are we going?"
"Xiping!"
Xiping County, known as Qingtang in ancient times, is the most prosperous county in the northwest counties, the west capital is the main city, the jurisdiction of Huangshui, Shancheng, Longzhi three counties, is the Qinghai-Tibet Oriental gateway. Judging from the map, Xiao Qian is not far from Xining in the world he came from.
Most of the other counties in the northwest have prominent forces, such as Yangming, Changkong, and even Dachen Canglong, with the exception of Xiping. It's not that there are no big forces here, but that all the forces are intertwined and mixed, and there is no behemoth that can command the heroes.
Before advancing into the Central Plains, Xiao Qianli chose to come to Xiping for a reason, after completely subduing the Changkong faction, the Northwest Martial Arts was vaguely headed by the Chunyang Palace. However, the reputation of the Pure Yang Palace in Xiping is only 35, and Xiao Qianli naturally will not leave such a huge power vacuum.
Entering the Western Capital, you will be greeted by a bustling and bustling city, with rows of shops on the streets, as lively as the vegetable market in later generations.
Cheng Jun had already been dazzled, scurrying around in the crowd, stopping at a place selling jewelry for a while, and staring blankly at the stall selling kites for a while.
Seeing Cheng Jun's appearance, Xiao Qianli couldn't help but smile slightly, and asked sideways, "Senior sister, are you hungry?"
Lu Wuyi nodded and replied in a low voice, "It's a little ......"
"Okay, let's go to that restaurant for a bite to eat!"
"Eat?" Obviously seven or eight zhang away, Cheng Jun still accurately captured this word, jumped over with a "rub", and said with a smile, "Master, what are we going to eat?"
"Just know how to eat!" Xiao Qianli raised his hand to pretend to threaten, Cheng Jun, an honest boy, still stood there upright, and stretched out his head for Xiao Qianli to knock lightly.
"It's all here, how can I eat more!" Cheng Jun grinned and smirked, "Master, you just beat me, I have to eat two more bowls of rice to replenish my vitality!"
After this period of understanding, Xiao Qianli found that the biggest characteristic of this apprentice is that he can eat abnormally - he can eat more than Li Chengyuan and Chu Xun, the two big stomach kings combined, often before the dishes are served, a large bowl of white rice has been poured into the stomach.
It's okay to eat quickly, the problem is that until others finish eating, Cheng Jun can still maintain this speed to eat until the end, and when he finally pulled him away, he touched his stomach with an aggrieved face, "Master, the disciple has only eaten half full......
"Your belly is made of rubber, right?" Xiao Qianli only felt amused, and quipped, "Xiaojun, if you follow this way of eating, I'm afraid that the teacher's money will not be enough to pay the bill." ”
Cheng Jun really thought that he had really eaten his master poor, so he hesitated for a while, then nodded heavily, and said solemnly: "Then I will eat less in the future, just five bowls of rice! If I am hungry, I will go hunting." ”
For this apprentice, Xiao Qianli was completely helpless. At this time, when I saw his eyes shining when he heard "eating", he smiled and said, "Okay, let you go to eat today!"
"There's something to eat!" Looking at Cheng Jun's cheering appearance, even Lu Wuyi on the side couldn't help but laugh.
The business of the restaurant is extremely hot, the private room is booked out early, Xiao Qianli doesn't care, and finds a small table by the window in the lobby on the second floor.
Hearing the sound of the stairs, Xiao Qianli heard that one of them was walking extremely heavily, and then he glanced sideways, but saw six or seven young men and women walking upstairs, and the person at the head was born with good facial features, burly figure, and carrying a long sword, obviously a good cultivation.
Xiao Qianli withdrew his gaze, and several people put the two tables together next to him, and sat down with a golden knife, shouting and asking for wine and food.
Several people chatted for a while, and suddenly someone asked: "Senior Brother Hu, let's go to Kunlun this time, the journey is really long, and even Uncle Miaoshan has also been dispatched." I don't know what such a border faction has that deserves our attention. ”
Hearing the word "Kunlun", Xiao Qianli's eyes flashed, and he secretly paid attention.
I only heard the tall young man who was the leader laugh and said, "What does it matter what he does? Since Master has arranged it like this, he must have the intention of making such an arrangement." Let's just inquire about the actions of this sect in advance, assess it, and wait for Uncle Miaoshan to arrive, let's go up the mountain again, and go back to the business after the task is completed. ”
What kind of task? What is the situation of the assessment? Xiao Qianli became suspicious and was about to listen carefully, but those few people diverted the topic again, talking about the customs of the northwest and gossiping about interesting things.
The stairs rattled again, and a middle-aged swordsman in his thirties walked upstairs, thin and well-dressed, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and a lean look on his face.
He looked around the lobby and saw Xiao Qianli at a glance, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and saluted, "I've seen Xiao Zhangjiao!"
As soon as the word "Zhangjiao" came out, the attention of those young men and women was immediately attracted.
Xiao Qianli looked up, immediately recognized it, and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, it's been a long time!"
It turned out that this person was Yan Gang of the Honka faction, he was extremely capable and decent, and he was very popular in the northwest. When he was on the trip to Shajiao and competed with the Yangming Sword Sect for the treasure of the Dao Sutra, Xiao Qianli had several encounters with this person.
Xiao Qianli had a life-saving grace for Yan Gang, and Yan Gang also thanked him again very politely, and after a few words of greeting, Xiao Qianli invited Yan Gang to take a seat, and Yan Gang repeatedly refused, but he didn't dare.
I only heard someone at the table next to me ask: "Friends on the road over there, I don't know which sect is in charge?"
Hearing this, it was very rude, Yan Gang's face flashed with anger, but he was cautious and didn't want to make enemies, so he replied immediately: "This is the Kunlun Pure Yang Palace Xiao Zhangjiao, you can't make a mistake!"
"Pure Yang Palace?" As soon as they heard this, the seven people stood up together, and their faces all showed strange expressions.
"You...... Are you the head of the Pure Yang Palace?" one of them laughed, "It's really hard to find a place to step through the iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get there." Ladies and gentlemen, we didn't expect this mission to be so easy, but it can be regarded as a great success!"
"Oh?" Xiao Qianli asked in surprise, "What are you looking for?"
The senior brother Hu at the head strode forward, raised his right hand, held up a small black wooden card, and shouted: "The Sanqing order is here, and the pure yang master will receive the order!"
Xiao Qianli frowned slightly, still sat still, and said slowly: "This seat only knows the Patriarch of the Three Qing Sect, but I don't know where the Three Qing Orders came from?
Yan Gang's face changed, and he explained in a low voice: "I don't know anything about the sect, these three clear orders are issued by the Daomen, and they are extremely noble. These friends must be from the Central Plains Martial Arts sect, and they must not be taken lightly. ”
Senior Brother Hu smiled and said, "This friend has some knowledge. We are disciples of the Emei faction, and the Three Qing Orders are in turn the hands of the five great sects in the world. The family teacher once said that Kunlun Chunyang Palace is a side branch of my Dao Gate, and it cannot be easily scattered, but can be included in the control of the Dao sect. ”
"Included in the control of the Dao Sect?" Xiao Qianli flashed in his eyes, and asked lightly, "Where does the side branch of the Dao Sect start? Which of the Five Dao Sects is considered to be the orthodoxy of the Dao Sect?"
Senior Brother Hu's face flashed with anger, but he forced himself to press it down, and said coldly: "Sure enough, it is a place to transform into a foreign country, and it is not a place to be educated! The Five Great Dao Sects are Zhenwu, Emei, Qingcheng, Kongtong, and Longhu. These five great avenue sects each uphold the Three Qing Dafa, the subtle and subtle, and the Tai Chi Xuanxuan, which are naturally the authentic Xuanmen. Which Dao method are you cultivating in the Pure Yang Palace? Which vein of scriptures are you reciting? What is it if it's not a side branch?"
Xiao Qianli nodded, and replied calmly: "In that case, you can go back and read the Dao Sect classics carefully, and see what status my Pure Yang Dao Method is in the Three Qing Miao Methods, and then talk about it!"
"What a guts!"
"The last school sect, how dare you be so rude?"
"How dare you insult my Taoist sect?
These words immediately angered several Emei disciples, and they all started to speak. Senior Brother Hu, who was the leader, turned red with anger, and said angrily: "Your Excellency is really ashamed, isn't it really like nothing to be my Emei?"
Xiao Qianli said slowly: "The world's Taoist system is all out of the Three Qing Patriarchs, even if your Emei is a Shangqing orthodox, how can I allow you and others to be regarded as a side branch of my pure yang?"
"Very good!" Senior Brother Hu suddenly smiled, and pulled out his sword with a "Cang Chang" sound, "Hu Yinuo in Xia Emei is about to ask your sect for advice on the Pure Yang Method!"
