Chapter 1: Conspiracy
Late autumn moonlit night.
The wind is calm, and the shadows of the trees are swaying. The two black-clothed men in the air walked like flying one after the other, and their skills were vigorous. Both of them, masked, stood on one of the treetops, and then stopped, becoming one with the tree, and the tree seemed to grow a section, superimposed on the shadow of the tree, with some exceptions.
The two of them are tall and short, fat and thin, and they can know a middle-aged and an old man by listening to the voice.
"How's it going?" the middle-aged man spoke first.
"It's still in the plan, it's just around the corner. The old man replied.
"That's how long it will take, you are in a hurry, the lord is not in a hurry. If the lord is not in a hurry, you know the consequences. The middle-aged man preached solemnly.
"It's coming soon, please report to the lord on your behalf. The old man responded.
"How long will it take soon, tell you, if you miss the lord's big business, I won't be able to spare you, and within a month, I'll get things done." The middle-aged man said impatiently to the old man.
"It's a little tricky at the moment," the old man said, and then whispered a few words into the middle-aged man.
"That's your business, I don't care. "After the middle-aged finished speaking, there was no trace, leaving only the echo of 'laughing'.
When the old man saw this, he reluctantly returned, and his destination was the Drifting Hall. All this was seen by the drifting Shaohai who was quietly tracking. It's just a pity that the other man in black who met him is and who is behind it to control all this. was pondering, and suddenly the senior brother Drift just came over, and when he saw the appearance of Drifting Shaohai, he was very puzzled. He asked, "Shaohai, what are you doing here?" "No... I didn't do anything, just walked around.I'm busy first," and left after saying that.Drift just saw this, his brows tightened.
Back at his residence, Piao Shaohai was still thinking. Who are the two masked men in silence, one leaves, the other returns to the Drifting Hall, that is the people in the temple. Is it the senior brother? I saw him just now, and the voice didn't seem to look like it, it was the master? Thinking of this, Shaohai felt a panic in his heart. I didn't think about it anymore, I had to see Ling'er and Brother Ji first, and discuss with them before making plans.
The next day, before Shaohai went to find Ling'er, Ling'er and the others came to him.
"Senior sister, where did you go last night, there was a fire in the hall yesterday, I was worried about your safety, I looked for the two of you everywhere, but I couldn't find it. Shaohai was very happy when he saw Ling'er and them coming.
"Yesterday, your sister Ling'er was killed." Ji Xiaoguang opened his mouth and was about to say it, but when he saw Ling'er glancing at him hard, he stopped talking.
"How was yesterday?" asked Shaohai.
"Safe and sound. Ling'er replied.
"Senior sister, Brother Ji, I saw two people in black last night, one is from the Drifting Hall. Shaohai said.
"The man in black, or the man of the Drifting Hall," who would it be, and whether you could see his face clearly. Ji Xiaoguang answered.
"I can't see clearly, both of them are masked, and the person who returned to the temple seems to be a little older, and the other is a little younger. Shaohai added.
"A little old??" Ling'er said, thinking in her heart, nine times out of ten, it was the old man.
"Senior sister, do you know who it is?" Shaohai asked, he felt that Ling'er knew this matter in their hearts, if it was the same as his guess, this matter would be a big deal.
"I don't know," Ling'er replied, knowing that she didn't plan to talk about it, as discussed before, the less Shaohai knew about this matter, the better.
"It's a pity I didn't hear them clearly, or else. Shaohai said.
"Otherwise, don't act rashly. Stay well, don't run around."
"Oh," Shaohai saw that Ling'er was a little angry, so he stopped talking.
The three of them were about to separate, and suddenly saw a black shadow flying out of the hall outside the window, he hurriedly followed, and chased after the outside of the hall, and the figure was long gone. The man in black, the man in black? Could it be the man in black last night?
Senior Brother sent someone to invite Ling'er, Brother Ji, and Shaohai to go to the conference hall to discuss matters.
The three of them came to the council chamber and saw that everyone had already done it.
"Please come here, brothers and sisters, there is one thing to discuss with you, that is, this is an extraordinary time. You must not go out at will, so as not to expose the location of the Drifting Hall and attract idle people to harass you. The people of our palace have always had no quarrel with the world, and they have nothing to do with any new technology and new life generation outside. If someone is found to go out without permission, it will be dealt with according to the rules of this door. Do you have any comments? ”
"The disciple didn't dare. The disciples replied.
Did I go up and follow someone to find out? Why did I suddenly announce this regulation, which had never been done before? Drifting Shaohai thought to himself, it's not good, how to verify this matter in the future.
Hmph, Ling'er listened, was noncommittal, bowed her head and said nothing. Thinking in their hearts, it is finally coming, they can't sit still, anyway, they brake with static, and respond to all changes with no change.
Ji Xiaoguang began to get impatient in his heart. Since leaving the village, I want to come to practice martial arts, so that I am not willing to be mediocre, they promised. As a result, he now says that he has also helped them achieve great things. You can't go out at will, what is that? House arrest, what are they going to do next?
"Also, in the future, you have to go to the master's residence every day to say goodbye, this is the way to follow the master, and you must not slack off. Senior Brother continued, his expression was very serious, completely watertight, Ling'er really couldn't guess what their intentions were. Please, this old man is also worthy, pull it down. But when I think about it, this matter is not good, how to avoid it.
"Okay, in the future, Ling'er, and Shaohai will go together to greet the master. Ji Xiaoguang replied, as if he knew Ling'er's worries. Ling'er looked at him and felt that he was particularly kind today.
"Okay, it's okay, you can disperse on your own. After speaking, the senior brother was about to leave, and just took two steps, he turned his head and said to Ji Xiaoguang and Ling'er: "Ji Xiaoguang, Ling'er, stay for the time being." ”
The three had to stop. "Is there anything else Senior Brother has to order?" Ji Xiaoguang asked.
"Shaohai, you can leave first, senior brother still has something to say to Xiaoguang and Ling'er. Shaohai listened, looked at Ling'er, Ling'er nodded at him, and Shaohai left in understanding.
"Senior brother, what else do you have to order?" Ji Xiaoguang asked again.
"Ling'er, it's been a while since Brother Ji entered my door, the master is old, and there are many affairs in the senior brother's palace, I'm afraid I can't take care of teaching Brother Ji to learn my sect's martial arts, so in the future, I will ask Ling'er to share the matter of teaching him to practice martial arts. ”
"Senior brother, but I'm still young and shallow, so how can I teach others. Ling'er was a little puzzled when she heard this.
"Although your martial arts are difficult to compare with master, uncle, senior brother and others, it should be more than enough to teach people like Brother Ji who have never learned our martial arts. Please take care of this matter and share the worries and worries for our family. ”
"In that case, that's the way it can be. I hope Ji Xiaoguang is not too stupid. After speaking, he looked at Ji Xiaoguang proudly.
Ji Xiaoguang was surprised and delighted, where did the joy come from, he couldn't tell clearly. What is surprising is that Ling'er taught him to practice martial arts, is this matter reliable? And is there any routine they told Ling'er to teach me to practice martial arts? If the master, uncle, and senior brother can't teach me, then there are still drifting Shaohai and other disciples.
Whatever it is, take one step at a time. See the move, and build a bridge when encountering water. Thinking about being able to see Ling'er every day, my heart is full of joy.
"I don't know why Senior Brother asked me to teach martial arts, but to teach you, I want to teach you three chapters of the Fa. Ling'er and Ji Xiaoguang came to an open place, and Ling'er sat on the stone bench next to him.
"How do you make three chapters of the law?" Xiaoguang asked Ling'er.
"First, since Senior Brother has assigned me to teach you, although I don't know what it means, but in short, if I teach you for a day, you will be your master, and you must abide by the way of master and apprentice, and you must not go beyond half a step. Second, since I am your master and you are my apprentice, you must listen to what I say, and you must do what I tell you to do well, and you must not be lazy, perfunctory, or have any objections. Ling'er stopped after speaking in one breath.
"The apprentice obeys the female master's orders," Ji Xiaoguang was secretly happy in his heart. "But what about the third? Isn't it the third chapter of the covenant?"
"Third, I haven't thought of it yet, and I'll tell you when I think of it later. Ling'er also said proudly.
The cat is definitely in the third, Ji Xiaoguang thought to himself, he will definitely be tricked in the future.
"Apprentice, come over and hammer the back of the teacher," Ling'er said to Ji Xiaoguang, feeling very unhappy.
"Yes, beautiful sister," Xiaoguang rolled up his sleeves and got busy.
"Wrong, you should call the master, or the beautiful master. Ling'er corrected.
"Yes, master. Ji Xiaoguang was helpless.
After about 30 minutes, Xiaoguang stopped and said to Ling'er: "How is it, master, are you comfortable?"
"It's ok. Ling'er replied lightly.
Seeing this, Xiaoguang stood aside.
"Apprentice, pinch the master's feet again. Ling'er shouted triumphantly again.
"Huh??Do you still have to pinch your feet?" Ji Xiaoguang was shocked.
"You won't, do you want me to teach you?" Ling'er pretended to teach Xiaoguang.
"Yes, of course, but I haven't pinched a woman's feet. Xiaoguang explained.
"Pinch your feet, how can there be so many things, think too much. Ling'er said resolutely.
"Yes, master. Ji Xiaoguang replied loudly, showing his dissatisfaction.
So Ling'er took off her shoes, Ji Xiaoguang lifted her foot and pinched it with one hand, and pouted her nose with the other. "This foot stinks," Hikari didn't hold back from saying it.
"Ji Xiaoguang, what did you say, what do you have any objections?" Ling'er heard Xiaoguang's complaint and accused him.
"How can a girl's feet stink so much", Xiaoguang said softly, still let Ling'er hear it.
"Apprentice, you must not be rude, whatever the master says, you can do it, remember the three chapters of the law. Ling'er said seriously.
"Yes," Ji Xiaoguang replied, thinking, in our village, how can there be a reason for a man to pinch a woman's feet, and if it spreads, it won't be a dead person. Hey, I deserve it.
Xiaoguang pinched it, and saw that Ling'er was closing his eyes to recuperate, so he had an idea in his heart, he slowed down the speed of pinching, and also lightened the strength of the pinch. Slowly scrape lightly with your fingers on the soles of her feet, while scraping, staring at Ling'er to see her reaction.
"Ah, hehe, ah, hehe..." Ling'er was mischievous by Xiaoguang like this, itching so uncomfortably, "Ah, hehe" laughed.
"Master, are you comfortable?" Xiaoguang smiled with satisfaction on his face.
"Comfortable, really comfortable... Comfortable you ghost," Ling'er replied with a tight gritted tooth, and suddenly kicked his foot, and Xiaoguang put his back against the loess, facing the sky, and fell on his back. Just listen to Ling'er," he smiled. ”
Ji Xiaoguang got up and stepped forward. Suddenly stretched out his hands, picked her up while Ling'er was unprepared, and ran.
"Ji Xiaoguang, you are so bold, let me down, you are rude despite this, I am your master. Ling'er shouted in panic.
Ji Xiaoguang didn't respond to her at all, and ran up and down with her, for a while, running forward, and for a while, turning backwards. He felt very happy at this time.
"Ji Xiaoguang, you bad guy, let it go, I order you to put it down with my master. Ling'er's face was a little red, like a flush at high tide.
Xiaoguang ignored her, "Oh, oh..."
"Let me down," Ling'er scolded loudly while struggling hard, but he didn't expect to use too much force when he struggled, and when his whole body slipped to the ground, his chest in front of him grazed Ji Xiaoguang's hands.
"Bastard. Ling'er slapped Ji Xiaoguang hard, and his face was flushed and he hurriedly ran away. Only Xiaoguang stood there stupidly and reminisced.
Master, you haven't taught me martial arts yet.
It seemed that someone from the high platform in the distance had witnessed this.
"How can this be, little rascal, bad embryo. Ling'er returned to her residence, although her face was swollen and red, she kept scolding.
In another corner of the temple. The two of them were whispering.
"How's it going?" asked one of them.
"Everything is being planned, rest assured. "Shaohai under the root of the wall smelled that these two were the senior brother and the master. Curiosity made him want to hear it.
"Don't mess this up, or we'll have unimaginable consequences. Drifting Mountain warned.
"No, that Ji Xiaoguang seems to be a little interesting to Drifting Ling'er, as long as we continue to add a fire and rub him together. When the time comes, we will definitely go according to our plan. Bleed Gang preached with great certainty.
"It's better to be like this, things can't be done, no one else can live. ”
When Piao Shaohai heard this, it was a big trouble, they meant that they would use Ling'er as a hostage in the future to threaten Ji Xiaoguang. Do you want to tell the two of you about this? I'd better find out before I talk about it, so as not to startle the snake. Just thinking about it, when he saw that Piaozheng Mountain was going out, he quietly followed behind. To a valley, Shaohai looked at the mountain from afar and walked into the cottage in the valley, although the guards in front of the cottage were holding knives in their hands, but when they saw the mountain entering, they all raised their hands to salute.
"Where is this? Why are there so many inexplicable places. Shaohai was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to get too close, and he waited for about 20 minutes. Drifting up the mountain before he came out, the guards greeted him again. If you don't look back on the top of the mountain, push your left foot forward, and then walk directly with your right foot and your left foot. The right hand clenched and hit it hard, only to hear an explosion in the distance. Frightened, Shaohai trembled in his heart, worried that he would hit him or be discovered by him. So I could only hold my breath, and I didn't dare to come out.
When Shaohai returned to his residence, someone came to pass the word, and the senior brother was invited.
"Senior Brother..."Shaohai didn't have time to pause, so he went to Senior Brother. On the way, I thought, was it discovered?
"Senior Brother Shaohai, come, Senior Brother has a small matter for you to do. Bleed Gang said.
"Senior brother, please speak. Shaohai replied.
"Brother Ji doesn't know how well he practices martial arts, so let's do it, among the senior brothers, your martial arts are the best, and I invite you here for my brother to ask you to supervise them. Ling'er is a girl after all, if Brother Ji wastes his time and neglects to study, you can tell Brother Wei. Drift Gang continued: "After all, Brother Ji has joined our sect, and he is a talent that the master is optimistic about, if he is not proficient in learning, he will disappoint the master and his old man." ”
"Obey my brother's orders. Shaohai responded.
"Both of them need to truthfully report anything that is not conducive to the practice of martial arts, and the brother will punish them for the master. Drifter said very seriously. Shaohai thought to himself, isn't this just for me to be the eyeliner? I know all about you. Just why should I spy on them?
"Yes, please rest assured. After Shaohai answered, Drifter sent him back.
The conspiracy begins, like a candle in the darkness that is almost burned out and still glowing, luring you to set off, and before you have taken a few steps, the candle burns out and goes out. Piao Shaohai thought to himself, I must have a perfect plan, I must deal with it calmly, and I must not show my flaws first.
The next day, the sun escalated as usual, but it did not shine in the dark places, let alone people's hearts. Whether it is a human or a ghost, a friend or foe, they are still waiting to find the answer themselves.
