Chapter 617: Out of the Customs

The wind goes from strong to weak, then suddenly stronger, then weaker again, and so on. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Every sudden increase in strength meant that Xiao Yi stopped quenching his body and replenished the Five Elements Spirit Bead again. But since that day, Xiao Yi has not gone out and has not shown up for a long time.

At the beginning, when Shen Feng'er and Luo Sheng were free, they came to take a look, but as the birth of Sage Kong approached, the two gradually became busy, often leaving early and returning late, sometimes not returning for several days in a row.

Every time they go out, the two of them are full of energy, but most of the time they come back with gloomy faces.

One day, Luo Sheng's brows tightened, and he wondered: "What happened, why did many senior sages not return on the birthday of Sage Kong." Moreover, most of the people who came back were not on good terms with the Shen family. ”

Shen Feng'er also shook her head in confusion and did not speak. Things are far from going as smoothly as expected, and these days have made him a lot haggard, and some gray hairs have grown on his sideburns.

Luo Sheng looked at his eyes, his heart was painful and anxious, and he couldn't help but say: "Just call the young master out, he has cultivated to a great advancement, maybe the other branches will turn around and support the Shen family when they see the hope of the Shen family." ”

Shen Feng'er shook her head firmly and said, "Don't disturb Yi'er." ”

Luo Sheng hurriedly said: "The young master is the pillar of the family, and these things should not be fought by you alone." ”

Shen Feng'er looked back at Luo Sheng, with a slight reproach in her eyes, and said, "Why is Brother Luo confused? Do you think that Yi'er didn't come out of the house to avoid us?"

Luo Sheng was stunned for a moment and did not answer, but he was still a little unconvinced.

Shen Feng'er said again: "Although Yi'er doesn't come forward, she is still doing her best for the Shen family. Comparatively, he has a heavier burden on his shoulders. He just chose the right way. ”

After mentioning it, Luo Sheng seemed to think of something, and suddenly lowered his head.

Shen Feng'er continued: "Now, all the people in the Confucian Sect know the news of Yi'er's return, and they also know that Yi'er has broken through to the eighth layer of the Haoran Righteous Qi Technique. However, they are still swaying from side to side, and it is difficult to make up their minds, because they can't see our strength to confront Ji Hongren. ”

Luo Sheng nodded and sighed.

Shen Feng'er said: "Now, Yi'er is our last hole card. Although Confucianism advocates benevolence and righteousness, without strength, everything is nonsense. Only the higher Yi'er's cultivation, the greater our chances of success. Yi'er has endured a lot of hardships outside, and she deeply understands this, so she has been cultivating day and night, all the time. ”

A few days ago, Luo Sheng had inquired about Xiao Yi's past through various means, and he really admired his experience. But after hearing Shen Feng'er's words, she was already ashamed and embarrassed, and said, "It's me who blames the young master......

Shen Feng'er said: "Brother Luo understands righteousness because he is worried about me, and I understand it." ”

Luo Sheng lowered his head deeper and said, "You have paid enough for the Shen family, you shouldn't go on like this." ”

Shen Feng'er smiled sadly and said, "There are still a few days left, as long as you carry it, everything will be fine." If you can't resist it, it's better to kill yourself than to live like this. ”

Luo Sheng raised his head suddenly, and said with confidence: "We have worked hard for so many years, and we will definitely succeed." If Ji Hongren went too far and forced us to be anxious, he announced the matter to the public. Just this one thing can make Ji Hongren discredited, and he will never be able to turn over. ”

Shen Feng'er took a deep breath and said, "I hope it won't come to that point." When that thing was said, not only did Ji Hongren lose his reputation, but Confucianism would also be ridiculed by the world. So, it's best not to mention it until you have to. ”

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll go see Nangong Yan again tonight, and try to make his attitude clearer, so that he can be the first to publicly support the Shen family." ”

Luo Sheng said: "Nangong's predecessor has a very high prestige in Confucius, and if he can openly support the Shen family, it will be extremely beneficial to us. I think that with his relationship with the young master, it should not be difficult to support the Shen family. ”

Shen Feng'er said: "Do you think that Nangong Yan and Yi'er are willing to openly support the Shen family after drinking once?"

He smiled coldly and said, "He is an old fox who knows how to protect himself. Ever since he committed Confucian etiquette when he was a teenager and received a lesson, he has secretly interacted with various branches and has always maintained a relationship of imminence and separation. Later, he cultivated to Dajin and claimed to be the first master of Confucianism. In fact, it's not that he is really the first in cultivation, it's just that the families don't care about him because of their face. ”

Luo Sheng was shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart: "Being able to worship yourself as the first in Confucianism by virtue of your relationship is very human." Suddenly I had a new understanding of Nangong Yan.

Daqiu City is becoming more and more congested, and students from all over Qingzhou have come one after another, hoping to pay homage to the disciples on the birthday of Sage Kong.

City lords from all over the country also rushed back to Confucius and lived in the homes of their relatives, preparing to report to the Confucian saints on his birthday.

Time passed day by day, and the Confucian Gate entered a busy state, in addition to arranging the Confucian Temple, each family also prepared for sacrifices. In the eyes of children, it is really more lively than the Spring Festival.

However, the Shen Mansion has always been deserted. Shen Yirou was bedridden, Shen Feng'er and Luo Sheng were almost invisible for a day, and they had no time to take care of the sacrifice.

The day before the sacrifice, the Ji family sent invitations to each family early in the morning, asking them to gather at the Confucian Temple before noon today to jointly review the sacrifice procedures to ensure that tomorrow's ceremony is foolproof.

After the Shen family received this post, they were very anxious. Shen Feng'er didn't return last night, and Luo Sheng also went out not long ago. Who to go to the assembly became a problem.

waited until the end of the day, and still didn't see Shen Feng'er and Luo Sheng returning, so the people were in a hurry, so they had to go to the backyard with the invitation, ready to discuss with Shen Yirou.

When he passed by the house where Xiao Yi was, the man stopped to watch, sighed, and turned his head again.

After more than a month of observation, the subordinates gradually woke up from the frenzy that began to begin, and gradually lost hope in this young master.

"I originally thought that I would come back with a great master, but I took everyone to wash away all the grievances, and from now on I can be a man with my eyebrows raised, who knows...... Alas!" thought the man as he walked, disappointed so much that he could only sigh at last.

However, before he could go far, the wind behind him suddenly stopped.

The wind has been blowing continuously for more than a month, and the sudden stop is quite uncomfortable.

The man was stunned for a moment and stopped. Then, I heard the door creak open from the inside, and the young master of the Shen family, who had been dormant for a long time, finally came out.

There was a slight anger in the hearts of the people, and they said in their hearts: "The sacrifice is about to begin, what's the use of coming out now?"

However, when he and Xiao Yigang met each other, they were impressed by his bearing, and the anger in his heart immediately disappeared, and he called out respectfully: "Young master." ”

I saw Xiao Yi's eyes were clear and his expression was soothing, and he didn't see his smile, but he always gave people a slight smile, which made people feel infected by it at a glance, and his mood immediately improved.

The man was about to hand over the invitation card to explain his intentions. Xiao Yi has already said first: "Prepare to drive, I will go to meet the Confucian family for a while." ”

The next person was in ecstasy, and said excitedly: "Young master, wait a minute, I'll go and prepare." He turned and ran. (To be continued.) )
