Several people were in different moods, and after a hasty dinner, they were brought to the woodhousekeeper.

It was a small separate courtyard, with the woodsteward standing in the courtyard and a few people standing beside it.

A lantern hung nearby, and the faces of several people were faintly visible.

"Hehe! it's all here!" As a gentle laugh rang out, several people hurriedly looked at it.

Including Lin Yi is also suspicious, is this still the woodcutter? His white skin and harmless smile are like the iron-faced and selfless steward in front of the mountain gate!

Jin Ke was not surprised, Shi Li shouted 'Grandpa'. The woodsteward smiled and nodded, disapproving at the expressions of several people,

"There are rules in front of the mountain gate, now you are all members of my Tianlong faction, and in the future, you will be your own family, you must help each other and support each other. In the Foreign Affairs Hall, each of them works diligently, and he will definitely have some achievements in the future. Mu won't treat anyone badly, hehe!"

Jiang Fangdi and Dai Yuanhai hurriedly bowed down, and Lin Yi also bent down and bowed his head behind. There was always an uncomfortable feeling in my heart for the smile of this woodhousekeeper. The two brothers of the Mu family, one black and one white, really complement each other.

"Jin Ke, Jiang Fangdi, Xu Yue, and Dai Yuanhai went to the martial arts hall for half a year to try. If the skills are acceptable, you can take on the duty of patrolling the mountain guard!"

"Grandpa Xie!"

"Thank you, woodman!"

Jiang Fangdi and the others were full of excitement, it seemed that for the people recommended by the Dragon City Dart Bureau, this wood steward was still very careful. Several people are practicing martial arts, and going to the martial arts hall to practice the martial arts of the Tianlong Sect should be the best place.

"Your name is Lin Yi?"

The woodsteward's smile was even gentler, like that of the uncle next door.

"Yes!"

Lin Yi bowed his head in response.

"I heard you're good at getting along with horses?"

Who did you listen to? Lin Yi pouted to himself. There was a hint of ridicule in the butler's eyes, but he couldn't hide from his divine sense.

I'm too lazy to guess, I can't hide from it.

"Sort of!"

Lin Yi's voice was calm, standing in place, still with his head lowered.

"Make the best use of things, make the best use of people, and then go to the miscellaneous hall. Driving a horse is also a skill!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Lin Yi's respect, the woodsteward smiled undiminishedly, and his voice was full of concern.

"Do it well in the future, this steward will have his own reward, hehe! The identity of the outer disciple of the Tianlong Sect is enough to make your family proud! Go, follow the deacon!"

......

Following the deacon in front, turning left and right, walking the work of tea, smelling the smell, Lin Yi knew it.

The deacon's surname was Pi, and he was in his forties, of medium stature, and had a loyal face. He turned his head to take a look, and saw that Lin Yi had no ill feeling at the smell of smoky horse manure, and his demeanor was calm. Deacon Pi couldn't help but nod his head and a smile appeared on his face.

There are many things in charge of the miscellaneous affairs hall, and there is not only one deacon, but this deacon is in charge of chariots and horses.

Pointing to a long row of stables, Deacon Pi smiled at Lin Yi before he spoke: "There are dozens of horses and more than a dozen carts in the Foreign Affairs Hall, but there are only a few disciples. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Lin Yi again, and smiled apologetically: "No way, no one wants to come!"

Lin Yi was relieved, this was dirty and smelly, naturally no one wanted to come. Even those who come will try to leave. It seems that among the good intentions of this carpenter, there is no credit to Master Jin!

"It's okay, Deacon Pi just tells Lin Yi to do something. Lin Yi smiled lightly.

Seeing that Lin Yi's words did not seem to be fake, the skin steward's heart was even more relieved.

"What a deacon, it's just a title. Brother is not outside, and it is also good to call me a big brother. ”

There are dozens of deacons in this foreign affairs hall, but he is the only deacon who is not welcomed. This is also the reason why Deacon Pi is honest and not good at pleasing the woodhousekeeper. Several of his disciples were also disobedient, and Deacon Pi was helpless about it. Seeing that Lin Yi was respectful and humble, he was naturally close to Lin Yi in his heart.

"These ten horses will be in your care from now on. Deacon Pi said, pointing to the stables.

"Several rooms are empty, you can choose one to live in. Several of the other disciples hated the smell of this place and went to live elsewhere. These carts don't care about it on weekdays, and when they need it, they just do what they are told. ”

Deacon Pi pointed ahead and said, "Along the foot of the mountain, you can go to the back mountain, where the water and grass are abundant, and it is a good place to walk horses." ”

Lin Yi followed behind Deacon Pi and wrote it down carefully.

"There is nothing else to do every day, just clean the stables, drink and feed the horses, go to the back mountain to walk the horses, etc. Although it is dirty and has a bad reputation, it is not tiring. ”

Lin Yi followed Deacon Mu around, and he understood what he was going to do.

"Thank you Brother Pi for your advice, if the younger brother has any doubts in the future, I have to ask the eldest brother. ”

"Hehe! Brother doesn't dislike here, and Big Brother is already very happy. I'll go and get you a futon and other things, and you can choose a room and wait."

After Deacon Pi finished speaking, he walked away briskly.

Standing in front of the stable, smelling the pungent smell, Lin Yi smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth.

......

One of the peaks of Jiulong Mountain, the Crane Tail Peak, the spiritual rocks are stacked, towering into the clouds. In the autumn night, the mountain peaks are surrounded by clouds and mist, and the mist is like a dream.

In the night, a hanging eaves can be faintly seen in the air. This is where the Kowloon Scenic Spot - Lingyun Pavilion is located.

In the Lingyun Pavilion, the candles are bright.

Mu Tiancheng sat intently. He glanced at the four elders sitting in a circle and said, "Who is the masked man who attacked Qing'er halfway this time?

Several elders bowed their heads and were silent, and after half a sound, an elder with eagle eyes and long beard raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Rumors that are unfavorable to my Tianlong Sect are growing day by day, and there are many people who are watching the prestige of our sect, but there are only a few who dare to pick up their beards. ”

Mu Tiancheng nodded silently.

"What Elder Ma said is true. According to Qing'er, an old man among the masked people has extremely high martial arts. The wooden butler of the Dragon City Dart Bureau was defeated with one move. Guo believes that this matter is inseparable from the 'two rivers and three mountains'. An old man with heavy eyebrows and a red face said with an angry face.

The leopard's head and tiger's eyes, and the face is full of short hair, it is Monsan. He was afraid of his thighs, and said hatefully: "Meng Mou is a step too late, otherwise he will definitely capture these filthy and dirty people." ”

Mu Tiancheng's face was gloomy, and his eyes were fierce. Thinking that his daughter had almost had an accident, he was angry in his heart, but he couldn't bear it.

"This wooden butler is also an old man sent out from my Tianlong, his martial arts are not weak, and he can retreat in the face of first-class masters in the rivers and lakes. Therefore, this person's martial arts should be similar to you and me, and should not be underestimated. A calm, soothing voice sounded, and it was a middle-aged man with a fair complexion.

Elder Ma nodded slightly and said, "What Elder Rong said makes sense, there are not many people who are similar to our martial arts, plus the elderly, there are only a few people on the rivers and lakes. Without conclusive evidence, we can only tie our hands. And this is clear, the other is dark, and it can't be guarded against!"

Mu Tiancheng's face was solemn and silent.

Elder Ma continued: "The robbery of the goods a few years ago was later found out to be inseparable from 'Ershui'. Later, my Tianlong faction was pressed by the elders, and the horses were transported quickly, and there were no accidents on the way. What they didn't expect was that they changed their ways, and this sneak attack on Qing'er was also to use Qing'er to blackmail the head and my Tianlong faction. Regardless of the audacity of these people, even the timing is appalling! Their recklessness and impatience must have something to do with the approaching time for my disciple to travel. ”

Elder Rong nodded and said, "This matter has long been rumored by the rivers and lakes. This time the disciples are on a trip, and the future is uncertain!"

"Yes! The disciples travel once every ten years, and the interval between years and months is not long, nor is it short. Although our faction is secretive, it will not be difficult for those who have a heart. Heaps out of the shore, and the flow will be turbulent. Walk above men, and the crowd will not. Our faction has been proud of the crowd for a long time, and it is common sense to be watched by colleagues in the rivers and lakes. ”

"How can my Tianlong Sect allow provocation?" Meng Shan looked dissatisfied.

Although the Tianlong faction is the first sect in the rivers and lakes, it is beautiful in the forest and stands out. It is normal to be admired by fellow people in the rivers and lakes, and also jealous by the people in the rivers and lakes. The secret skills of the sect are the foundation of the sect, and they cannot be touched by others. The Jianghu sect is like this, and the Tianlong faction is not worried about this. Disciples traveling overseas is a guarantee for the sect to continue to be strong, and it is not easy to share it with others.

And that piece of heaven and earth overseas is not unique to the Heavenly Dragon Sect, but only the Heavenly Dragon Sect knows how to cross that vast sea area, and has successfully returned and forth many times.

Due to the limitations of their respective inheritances, when the development of many Jianghu sects has been hindered, it is undoubtedly what the Jianghu people of Dashang are looking forward to when they can take this shortcut to the Tianlong faction.

As the number one sect in the rivers and lakes, the Tianlong Sect could not refuse and could not refuse this matter. Otherwise, it will be abandoned, isolated, and hostile by colleagues in the world. This is not what the Tianlong faction wants to see, and such a first place in the rivers and lakes is completely meaningless.

can give away the shortcut to heaven that he has obtained, and the Tianlong faction is naturally unwilling and unwilling. I can only use the excuse that this matter is groundless and unreliable.

But now that the disciples are about to go out, the same people in the rivers and lakes are pressing step by step, and they have no scruples about their tricks, and they are doing everything they can. Let the Tianlong faction be annoyed, and there is no anger to be angry about. Without conclusive evidence, the Heavenly Dragon Sect could not rashly confront its fellow Daoists in the world.

At the moment, the Tianlong faction does not have many choices to make.

There was silence in the room.

Mu Tiancheng groaned for a while, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "I know it, not a credential." I, the Heavenly Dragon Sect, will not bow my head. And the disciples can't delay when they travel and practice. ”

The words of the head of the wooden door made the hearts of the elders widen.

"To patrol the mountains, we must send more manpower, strictly order all halls, and pay attention to and investigate in detail any trace of wind and grass on the rivers and lakes, and not slack off. The matter of going out for training is urgent. Goods and disciples must be prepared in advance. ”

Mu Tiancheng's tone was stunned, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a cold voice: "If there is conclusive evidence, I, the Tianlong Sect, should not hesitate to give a thunderous blow to deter the younger generation!"

"Honorable Leader's Order!" the four elders stood up and received the order in unison.

Mu Tiancheng waved his hand, his tone slowed down, and said, "Elders don't need to be polite, please sit down and talk!"

The prosperity of the sect is inseparable from the head of the sect, and the wise decision of the head of the sect makes several elders feel very sure.

"This time, Zhen Yuanzi has come here thousands of miles away, I don't know what the elders think?" said in a slow voice as the head of the Mu Sect waited for the elders to sit down again. The details of it flickered.

"This true Yuanzi took action to save my niece Qing'er, Meng Mou is accepting this favor in his heart!" Meng Shan said loudly with a full face.

Elder Ma thoughtfully, looked at the head of the wood, and said, "Qishan Shenwei Hall, Gushan Wuyi Sect, both of them are in the desolate land of northern and southern Xinjiang. Only Teng Yunfeng's Baiyun Taoist Temple is located in the middle of the Shang Kingdom. Among the three mountains, Baiyun Temple is the closest to my Jiulong Mountain, but it is also one or two thousand miles away. This true Yuanzi is the master of Baiyun Temple, abandoning the Taoist Temple, and traveling thousands of miles to my Jiulong Mountain, it is also interesting!"

"This true Yuanzi can frighten the masked man, and his martial arts are not bad, but I want to have a fight with him!" Elder Guo was eager to try.

"Haha, Lao Guo's hands are itching again, how about learning from Meng?" Meng Shan said with a smile.

Elder Guo's eyes widened, his heavy eyebrows stood like a mountain, and he snorted, "I'm afraid you won't make it?"

"Hehe, you two brothers have to talk about it later!" Rong Changlong smiled gently, he was used to the actions of the two.

"This true Yuanzi can save Qing'er, and my Tianlong Sect naturally inherits this favor. However, I heard Qing'er say afterwards that she had met Zhen Yuanzi on the way, but she didn't recognize the origin of the three of them. Therefore, Zhen Yuanzi came from thousands of miles away, and he must have asked for me, and he rescued Qing'er, and he was kind to me. In this way, grace comes first, and demand comes last. My Celestial Dragon Sect is in a dilemma—"

"But his true yuan son is not difficult for a strong man, right?" Meng Shan spread his hands and forgot about the matter of learning from Elder Guo in a blink of an eye.

Elder Ma shook his head, his eagle eyes were deep, and he muttered, "If it is what he asks, it doesn't sound so excessive......

There seemed to be something in his words, but it made everyone present think it was true.

Mu Tiancheng lightly twisted his long beard and nodded slightly.

"In the past few days, Zhen Yuanzi will be accompanied by Elder Ma to find out his intentions and then make plans!"
